A CHAPTER ON FOOLS.
The Doctor eft said ihai for his part he ihonght
Folks were not much the better for vvisdoiu men
tauglu:
And that many a fancy sagacity-monser,
Forced to lice uu his wisdom, would soon die ol
hunger.
That it cannot be wisdom in little or jjreat,
Who ruin themselves, or who ruin the state;
Tliere are fool# in their pride, and lools m their nurse.
And fools without either thatolt are uiuch v.^oree.

There are fools oi pretension ar^d fools of pretence,
Fools that can’t understand other folk’s sense;
There are high finished boobies, frona every great

And many worse fools in the world then ’Tcm Fool.’
I There are fools all for saving, and fools thdt all
spend,
And great fools that borrow, and great'^r that lend—
Fools that rush into crime lo accumulate v ealih.
Fools that squander the best of all ireaijures, their
health.
Foola that barter the best things of life for a Fong,
Fooli of lovers, whose folly bui seldom lastc lonj;
There are fools that are singh and Icols tiii?i arc

And fools have writ volumes ihit never were read.
There *ire fools too that read and are never th3
wiser.
And many’s ibe fool takes the pirt of adviser;
There are fcols to bi woc’d ind still greater to

PRESSURE OF THE SEA. , *
If a piece of wood which floats on the water
forced down to a great depth iri ihe sea, the presftif
of the surrounding liquid will be forced into^^
poT-es of ihe wood, and so increase its weightfti
il will no longer be capable of floating or rising l
the surface. Hence the timber of ships, wl^ii
have foundered in the deep part of the oc^ an, nii^
rise again lo the surface like those which have soil
near the* ehore. A diver may, with impunity
plunge lo certain depths of the sea, but there it *
limit beyond which he cannot live under the pressni

probable inal there is a depth beyond which
fishes cannot live. 'Phey have according lo Josfii
