Basin of tiir Atlantic.—-The Basio of
the Atlantic Ocean, says Prof. Mattry, is ti
long trough, separating the Old World
from tlie New, and extending probably
frotn pole to pole. This ocean furrow was
probably scored into the crust of our
planet by the Almighty band, thüt the
wáiérá which lie called seas, might be
gathered together so to let the dry land
appear and fit the earth for the habitation
of man. From the top of Oh i m bo razo to
Atlantic at tbe deepest place yet reached
by the plummet in the Northern Atlantic,
the distance tn a Vertical line is nine miles.
Oould the Waters of tbe Atlantic be drawn
off so as to expo&e tbe great sea gash,
which separates continents and extends
from the Arctifc to ifce Antarctic, it would
present a sceüe the most rugged, grand
and imposing. The very ribs of the solid
earth, with the foundation, of tbe sea,
would be brought to light, and we should
have presented to txs at one view, in the
empty cradle of thé óteán, a thoúsañd
fearful wrecks, with that dreadful array of
dead men's skulls, great anchors, heaps of
pearls and inestimable stones, which, ib
tbe poet's eye, lie scattered in the bottom,
making it hideoüs with tbe sights of ugly
earth. Tbe deepest part of the Atlantic is
probably somewhere between the Bermu-
das and the ft rea t Banks. The waters of
tbe Gulf of Mexico are held in a basin
about half a mile deep in tbe deepest part.
There is at the bottom of the 6ea between
Gape May and New Kotifidland ahd Cftpe
Clear, in Ireland, a rematkable steppe,
which is already known aa the telegraphic
plateau. The great circle distance be-
tween these two shore lines is sixteen hun-
dred miles, and the sea along this route is
5>robably nowhere more thah ten thousand
eet deep.

We slmddered there In silence.
For xne stoutest held his bre&tH;
W hile the hungry sea was roaring,
And the breakers talk'd with death;
cad thus we sat in silence,
All busy with our prayers—
" We are lost! " the captain shouted;
As he stsggeied^doWH ll stairs.
But his little daughter whispered.
As she took the icy baml,

Just the same as on the land ? "
Then we kissed the.lt.ttle maiden,
And we spake of better cheer,1
And we anchor'd safe in harbor, ;
Where the sun was shining Clear.
And a shout rose loud and joyous.
As we grasped the frtendly band, v
God is ou the waters,
Just the saine as ou the land.

The Poetic Principle. — We shall
reach, more immediately, a distinct con*
ception of what true Poetry is, b^
reference to a few of the simple elements
which induce in the poet himself the true
poetical effect. He recognizes tbe ambrosia
which nourishes his soul io the bright orbs
that shine in Heaven in the volutes Cf
the flower; in the clustering of low sbrcfb
ries ; in tbe waving of graf
the-slanting of talf, Eastern trees; in
blue distance of monntams ; in. the group-
ing of clotrds; in the twinkling of half-
hidden brooks; in the gleaming of silver
rivers« in tbe repose of sequestered lakes;
in the fir mirroring depths of lonely wells/
He perceives if io the songs of tads; in
the harp of ^Íá>Ius ; in the sigliift^ of the
night-wind f in the repining voice of the
forest; in tbe surf that complains td the
shore; in tbé fresh breath of the woods;
fn the scent of the violet ; in the voluptu-
ous perfume of tbe hyaeinth; in the sug-
gestive odor that comes to him, at etentide,
from far distant, undiscovered island?, over
dim oceans, illimitable and unexplored.
He owns it in all noble thoughts; in all
unworldly motives; in all holy impulses;
in all chivalrous, generous and self-sacri-
ficing deeds. Heleels it in, tbe beauty of
woman ; in the grace of her step; in the
lustre of her eye; in the melody of ber
voice; in bef soil laughter; in her sigh ;
in the harmony of the rustling of her
robe;;. Hr deeply fee's it in ber winning
endearments; in her bufbing enthusiasms;
in ber gentle cbarilfas; fn her raéek and
devotional endurances; but above all—ab,
for above' all—he kneela to it—he wor-
ships k in the faith, in the purity, in the
