"Within tho month tho London Spectator nml tho other moderntojournals of England havo re buked her for Indolence, ami now tho telegraph brings iton-aiithentlcated re ports of her insanity. Victoria is as pure in her llfo as her grandfather was ; not, perhaps, to "sociable," chatty, un reserved as ho, hut still good wife, good mother, and conscientious ns a woman, if useless as a l tiler; but tlnco tho death of tho 1'rincu Consort sho has rarely ap peared in public, and lias taken scarcely any other part in all'alrs than that of alUxlng tho royal (signature, ami by sedulously abstaining from tho duties incumbent upon tho monarch, has mado herself tho subject of sharper atilinad version than Englishmen havo been wont to bestow upon their Kings ami Queens. Her gloomy mood mid her continued seclusion havo iinqiiestlona bly given sotno degree of color to tho rumors which havo been Industriously circulated without authoritative contra diction. Jt is Inteiestlng lo recur to Ihu history of (leorgo III, In order to trace tho pro gross of his malad y and wo again quote hum Thackeray, who says: "All history presents no sadder Hguro than that of tho old man, blind ami do prhtd of reason, wandering through tho renins of his palace, addressing Imaginary parliaments, reviewing fan cied troops, and lioldlnggliostly courts." And then tho kindly satirist goes out "1 havo sun his picture as It was lal.i n at this time, hanging In tho apart ments of his daughter, tho J.amlgravlno of llesso llanibourg amid books nnd Windsor furnltuie, and a hundred fond reminiscences of her English homo.

Wo havo already nlludod to tho extra ordinary frankness of tho utterances of the Engllih press In regard to tho Queen and her family. Readers of Emerson's writings will remember that in his book on "English Traits," published fifteen years ago, ho exulted over the boldnoss of tho Times, as Illustrative of tho cour- ago of a pcoplo who "dared to print all thoy know, dared to know all tho facts, and did not wish to bo flattered by hiding tho extent of tho public disaster" and it must ha admitted, to tlio credit of tho Times, that it, and not Jlr.

Tho divino sup port which Christ promised Ills dis ciples In theso predicted hours of perse cution sustained them. Ono night Nero, dressed in women's clothes, was in ono of tho palaces of Home, surrounded by his boon com panions, main and female, Indulging lu tho most loathsome orgies, when a great uproar was heard in tlio streets. A mes' senger was scut to ascertain the cause, Ho returned with tlio appalling tiding that Oalba, nt tho head of an avenging army, was marching rapidly upon Homo; that insurrection had broken out In tho streets, and that a countless moh, breathing threatening and blatigh tor, wcro surging toward tho palace. Tho wretched tyrant, as cowardly as ho was Infamous, was ritruek Willi dis may, llo sprang from tho table so sud denly ns to overturn it, dashing tho most costly vases In fragments on tho floor. Healing his foieliead llko a mad man, ho cried " I am ruined 1 I am ru Incd I" and called for a cup of jiohon Suleido was tho common resort In those days, of tho cowardly in tho hours of wretchedness Nero took tho polsoncil cup, but daro not drink It. llo called for a dagger, examined Its pollnlii-d point, but had nut siillleleut ncrvo, to pruis that to his heart, llo then ruihed from tlio palace, in his woman's garb, and with his long hair Hutu-ring in the wind. Thus disguised, ho almost How through tho dink and narrow streets, intending to pluugu lnlo tlio Tiber When ho reachtd tho bank and gazct upon Its gloomy waves, again his cour age failed. Soveral of his companions had aceom panied him. Ono of them biiggcstcd that ho should fleo to u country seat about three inlhs fiom Homo, and (hero conceal himself, Insane with terror, bareheaded, In his shameful garb, ho covered his faco with his liaudkortiilef, leaped upon a horse, and succeeded through tho thousand perils, in gaiiilui1 his retreat. Just before he reached tho villa, somo alarm so frightened him that ho leaped from his horse, and plunged into a thicket by tlio roadsido. Through brlors and thorns, with torn clothes and lacerated flesh, ho reached tlio Insecure asylum ho nought. In tlio meantime, tlio Tinman Smalu had hurriedly assembled. Emboldened by the Insurrection, and by tho ap proach of dalba, they parsed a decree declaring Nero to bo tho enemy of Ids country, nnd dooming him to death, more vwjnrum that is, nccordlng to ancient custom. Homo one of Nero's companions brought him tho tidings In his hiding-place. Pallidum! trembling, ho inquired, "And what Is death mord mnjnrttm t" Tho appalling reply was : " It Is to ho stripped naked, to havo tho head fastened In a pillory, nnd bo scourged to death 1" Tlio monster who had amused himself in witnessing tho torturo of others, re coiled with horror front tho dreadful nilllrllon. Seizing a dagger, ho again endeavored to ncrvo himself to plungo it Into his heart. A prick from tho sharp point was all ho could summon resolution to Inflict, llo throw tlio dag ger aslilo and groaned In terror. IIo then strove to talk himself Into courage. "OughtNero,"tiaIdhe, " toboafraltl? Shall tho Emperor bo a coward ? No 1 Let mo dlo courageously I" Again ho grasped tlio dagger, anxious ly examined Us keen edge, and again ho threw It aside with a groan of despair. Just then tho clatter of horsemen was heard, and a party of dragoons was seen approaching. His retreat was discov ered, and In a fow inomcntsNcro would bo helpless in tho hands of his enemies. Then there would bo no posslblo e.scapo from tho Ignominious nnd agonizing death. In tho delirium of despair ho ordered a frccdman lo hold a sharp sword so that ho might throw himself violently against It. Ho thus succeeded in severing tho Jugular vein, and his llfo blood spouted forth. As ho sank upon tho ground tho soldiers camo up. lie looked at them with a malignant scowl, and saying, "You're too lato 1" died. Thus perished this monster of deprav ity. It is said that this event took placo on tho 19th of June, A. D 03. Jinny Christians at tho timo supposed Nero to bo tho Anti-Christ. Tho wretch had reigned thirteen years, and died in tho thirty-second year of his age. In vlow of his career, tho only solution upon which tho mind can reposo is found In tho declaration of Scripture: "After death comes tho judgment." Theso ovents occurred eighteen hun dred years ago.

A mischief-brooding mistako Is mado when pastors and people fail lo estab lish and maintain between eacli other a business relation Just as independent of tho spiritual as it is pos-dblo to mnko It. The physician may he, and In mul tltudcsof Instances Is, thotlcarcst family friend; but ho lives by his profession, and his fcrvlces havo a recognized money valuo which he expects to re ceive without a question. IIo would prefer, perhaps, to render his services without reward, especially to thoso whom hu loves ; but ho has mouths to feed and provision to make for rainy days, and for tho days of helplessness that como at last to all. So, though lovo and sympathy, and self-denial for lovo and sympathy's sako may havo actuated him In all his dally round of duty, ho goes homo nt night, takes down his blotter, and enters ills charges as formally as if ho had brcn selling farm produco or tin-ware. There is a fooling in many parishes that it Is a gift by whatsoever any pastor may bo profited by them, that i pastor earns nothing, and that lu nil things huh) tho beneficiary of tho parish. To mako his matter a thousand times worse, there aro pastors not a fow who tako tho position to which tho parishes assign them, nnd assist in perpetuating tlio mistake. Thoy are men whoso hands are always open to receive what overcomes; who delight in uotiation parties, antl who grasp right and left, with unsatlablu greed, nt gifts. Thoy become so mean spirited that they do not llko to pay for anything, and do not really think it right that they should bo called upon to pay for any thing. They aro sponges upon their people and tlieeomiiiiinlty. Wherever they happeu'to be, they " llo down" on tho brethren. There Is nothing of value that they are not glad to receive, and thero Is nobody that they are not glad lo bo indebted lo for favors. Somo times they aro extravagant, antl havo a graceless way of getting Into debt, out of which they aro helped yearly, and out of which they expect to bo bellied yearly. Tho abject meanness into which a pastor can sink, and the corresponding and consequent power lessuess Into which ho can descend, And too frequent Illustration among tho American ministry. Itlsshocklngand sickening that there aro somo men who seem fbtccd by their parishes to llvo In this way, and it Is still moro disgusting to find men who bcem tolerably com. fortablo and contented whllo living in this way. If n man Is lit to preach, ho Is worth wages. If ho Is worth wanes, they should bo paid with all tho busi ness regularity that Is demanded and enforced in business life. There Is no man in tho community who works harder for tho money ho receives than tho faithful milliliter. Thero Is no mau In whoso work tho community is in tercstid to whom regular wages, that shall not cost him a thought, aro bo im- (JOL. portnnt. Of what posslblo tlso lu a pulpit cm any man bo whoso weeks nro frittered away In mean cares and dirty economies? Every month, or overy quarter-day, overy pastor .should bo stiro that there will bo placed in his hands, ns his Just wages, money enough lo pay all his expenses. Then, without a bonso of special obligation to anybody ho can preach tho truth with freedom, and prcpnro for his public mlnistrntlotis without distraction. Nothing moro crtiol ton pastor, or moro disastrous to his work, can bo dono llian to force upon him a feeling of dependeuco upon tlio charities of his flock. Tlio ofllco of such a man does not liso In dignity abovo that of n court-fool, llo is tho creature of tlio popular whim, nud a preacher without inlluenco to those who do not respect him or his olllco sufll clently to pay him tho wages duo to a man who devotes his life to them. Jfanllncss cannot llvo la such n man, except It bo in torturo a torturo en dured simply becauso there nro otliors who depend upon tho charities doled out to him. Oood, manly pastors nml preachers do not want gifts: thoy want wages. It is not a kindness to eko out insuffi cient Halarles by donation parties and by benefactions from tho richer mem bers of a flock. It is not a merit, as thoy seem to regard it, for parishes or individuals to do this. It is an ac knowledgment of ludcbtness which thoy aro too mean to pay In a business way. Tho pastor needs it and they owo it, but they tako to themselves tho credit of benefactors, and plaeo him In an awkward and a falso position. Tlio inlluenco of this stato of things upon tlio world that llcsoutsldoof tho sphere of Christian belief and activity Is bad beyond calculation. Wo havo had enough of tho patronago of Christianity by a half-scolUng, half-tolerating world. If Christians do not sufficiently recog- nizo tho legitimacy of tlio pastor's call ing to render him fully his Just wages, nnd to assist him to maintain his Inde pendence before tho world, they must not blame tho world for looking upon him with a contempt that forbids ap proach and precludes influence. Tho world will bo qulto ready to tako tho pastor at tho valuation of his friends, and tho religion ho teaches at tho prico its professors aro willing to pay, in a business way, for its ministry.

First, tho crater of Ki-latt-o-n, situated upon tho eastern slopo or this mountain, mid about mid way between its summit and tho so.t. It is n vast pit, nlno inilos In circum ference, sunk in tho flank of tho moun tain, and varying in depth, in different years, from a thousand to fifteen hun dred feet, nccordlng as the sea of molten lava beneath its floor will bo slowly raUed by thoaccumulatlng lavas below j and when their lateral pressure becomes at last too great to bo resisted, tho mol ten torrent, rending lis way with Irro- sistablo forco through rock ami earth, and shaking tho wholo Island with tho throes of its progress, Anally breaks to tho surface, live, ten, or twenty miles front tho crater. Tho river of tiro leaps from tho grouud, a mighty fountain that sometimes plays a thousand feet high, with a Jot that is soveral hundred feet in diameter, nnd pours down tho flank of the mountain toward tho sea. This it often reaches, enlarging tho area of tho Island by pushing out now capes and promontories of lava in to the water. Tho lava thus ijected may remain, In many placo- warm and smoking for months after tho eruption lias ceased ; yet I havo seen spots wliero tho natives, pulverizing tho cooled lava.aud mixing with it a few dead leavos before plant ing in it, had obtained good crops of sweet potatoes from what a year before was a torrent of liquid lire. Nature thus ronows thosoil, ftirnishlnga brail now artlclo at each eruption, whlto-hot from her chemical laboratories In tlio center of thooarlh. With each eruption " tho bottom Is knocked out,1' so to speak, of tho groat crater of ICi-lau o-n. Tho Hood of mol ten lava upon which it rests is rapidly drained away, and tho vast floor of In durated lavas, an urea of six square miles nt tlio bottom of tho pit, goes crashing still farther downward, three, four, live hundred feet to tho central fires; ns when tho water, to compare great things wllli-small, Is let oil from a frozen mill-pond, nnd tho Ico settles down upon tho bottom. Tho mountain wall Is probably not entirely solid and compact, as tho lavas aro extremely fluid, uud In running oh" honeycomb its structure, leaving numerous caverns behind tliem.through which subsequent emotions forco tholr way. Yet tho pressure required fur tho lava to rend tho mountain wall Is estimated at not less than llvo hundred pounds to tho souaro inch, or a million pounds for n stream two feet deep and seven feet broad. When tho bieadth of tho lava stream Is measured by miles Instead of feet, forco enough Is exerted to shntio the island to Its foundations.

Hut the volcano does not, llko Vesuvius, Etna, or Stromboll, enntlno lis activity to special occasions. Tho tiro rages continually In tho southern end of tlio great crater, where a hike, of melted lava tos-es Its red biirges and pours forth Its sulphurous vapors without ceasing. This lake, tho "Ilchi Jfau mau," or ' Houso of Everlasting Eiro of tho heathen mythology, may bo safely npiiroached by tho traveler at almost any time. Tho appcaranco of this tako varies greatly, howover, at dlllerent times, Sometimes tho lava Is so far sunken below Its banks that tho traveler cannot roach It, and comes away qulto disap pointed with what ho has seen. Agalr in times of great activity, tho fiery boa may overflow upon tlio bottom of tho crater, or forco itbelf up through numer ous cracks and chasms In tho floor of indulated lavas.

Warned by this danger, wo withdrew to n short distance, and awaited tho breaking forth of -tho Im prisoned fire. Wo had hardly gained our now point of observation before the lava wall gavo way In two places with a thundering crash and roar, and from each of tho rents thus mado a torrent of liquid Are poured over a clllf fifty feet high, Into n rough channel of a former flow, rtbarlng, glowing, smoking, and wreathed In bluish flames, It ground along tho lava channel with a peculiar dull thunder, that was caused by the ponderous weight of tho moltoti mass.

Dr. T. M. Ooan, in Scrib tier's for October. The Has Wells of l'cnusj lvnnla. Hon. Ncal Dow communicates to tho Boston Congrcgatlonalist tho following account of natural gas wells : "In many parts of llio Keystono Stato wells, bored for tho purposo, yield an abundant flow of illuminating gas identical In character with that manu factured in our cities from bituminous coal. Theso wells ore from two hun dred to seven hundred or eight hundred feet deep, nud from three Inches to llvo or six inches in diameter. Thoy nro 'bored' through the various strata of earth and stono, nud nro lined, llko oil wells, with wrought-lron pipes made for llio purposo. In many'placc.s theso wells are of great valuo, affording suffi cient fuel for driving tlio machinery of largo manufacturing establishments. In somo placets tho Biipply of gas is suf ficient to repay tlio entire cost of tlio well nnd fixtures in a single year or less. " At Erie, I saw several of theso gas wolls cmployod In this way. Directly on tho shore of tho lake aro located tho works for tho supply of tho city with water. Tlio water Is forced intoa btand pipo, two hundred and thirty feet high, by which it is distributed wUhsufllcient pressure over tho entire city. Two enormous engines do this work, being driven by steam generated by gas flow ing from n well sunk upon tho premi ses. Wo wore permitted to look into tho furnaces, which wero all aglow with a brilliant flame, issuing from a scries of small pipes connected with tho gas well. There was no dust nor smoko, and no flremau was required. Thoouly attention necessary was to turn on or oira littio gas according to tin) indica tions of the bteam gauge. Tho works wero to bo enlarged, and another well was In progress to furnish gas fur tho additional boilers. " Thejo gas wells aro found also In op eration for domestic purposes ; I saw It employed In a gentleman's houso. In tho library was an open llrcplaco, and a wood Aro or what scorned to bo such for tho terra cotta upon tho andirons was an admirable imitation of hickory wood. A low Aro was burning, for tho morning was not cold; tlio lady of tho houso turnod a small taper near tho tiro placo and tha flame Instantly In creased In volume, and continued to in crcaso as tho gas was turned on until tho flreplaco was full of ilamo, Issuing from terra cotta, and wo had what seemed to bo a roaring hickory wood lire. This gas was then wholly turnod off, nud tho Aro gradually diminished and Anally expired. Tho lady then with a match lighted n pleco of paper and throw It upon tho wood, turning on tho gas nt llio samo inomunt, nud wo had Instantly tho low Aro which wo round at tho beginning. In ovory room In tho house, except tho kitchen, was a simi lar apparatus, and Arcs could at any moment bo lighted with ns much faclll ty as tho chandeliers lu tho samo apartment, supplied with gas from tlio samo well. " In tho kitchen was a largo and com pleto range, sulllclent for a family of thirty persons. When wo entered, a low tiro was burning, and sundry vos sels wero simmering over tho flame, Tho cook turned tho tap, and Instantly tho raugti was Ailed with Hro Hulllclcnt for all culinary operations up to the full capacity of tho apparatus. Nothing Is employed lu that houso forheatlngantl Illuminating except this g.v.

This sort of thing might havo worked woll Willi old Olranl, but it don't fool anybody now. I havo tried It. I bought half a pound of lea at Pondorry's tho other day, nrtor rending tho nbovo paragraph, nud wheeled It homo In tho most ostenUtlous manner, to sco If I'ondcrry.who was looking on, wouldn't ofler to trust mo for all tho tea that I wanted, but ho didn't. On tho con trary, I heard him speak up sharp to a clerk as I went nround tho corner, ask ing him if thai tea was paid for. I afterivnrds took a wlicolbarrow and went to a flour storo on Central Avo nuc. Bought a small bag of flour, 25 pounds, I think, and loaded it on, tho head of tho concern looking at mo with apparent Interest. 'Now,' I thought, 'is my opportunity. This is a Olrard feller, llo will toll mo to como and got all tho flour I can wheel away, anil pay whon I got ready. Perhaps bo will offer mo a partnership in his storo. Then I spat on my hands and whipped them over my shoulders to encourago a vigorous circulation, rubbed them together smartly, and clutching tho handles of tho barrow, slnrteil off at a brisk trot. I had pro ceeded about a square, whon I heard somo ono shouting after mo. Look ed around, and saw tho Hour man com ing on a dead run. 'Ha, hat' thought I, 'the thing works admirably. Tlio examplo of Stovo Ol rard Is not lost. I havo revealed a trait of character In being my own porter, to say nothing of my beer, and my for- luno is made. Tho flour and feod man recognizes my merits, and comes to offer mo a full partnership. As ho approach ed, I saw ho had somo money in his hand. 'Ho is at least,' I said, 'going to return mo my money.'

Tho wheelbarrow busincs is nil a humbug. A man can't make a charac ter in any such way. Anil tho chances are that ho will lose what Httlo ho starts out In tho world with. Nature. In n stato of nature no raco of ani mals aro unhappy ; they are all adapted to tho niodo of llfo which Ood has or dained them lo lead, and their chief en joyment consists In pursuing their natural habits, whatever theso may bo. Tho woodpecker, whllo boring a tree, and clinging to it for hours by its scan- dent feet, Is just ns happy ns tho oaglo perched upon tho mountain clllf, or pouncing on Its quarry from tho clouds. Neither could lead tho llfo of tho other, but each Is happy in tho btato assigned to It; and tills Is observablo throughout tho realms of nature. A rat, burrowing in a ditch, Is as happy ns it could deslro so long as It finds sulllclent to feed- upon; and a heron, Immovably fixed, watching for tho approach of small fishes and'frogs, has, there can bo" Httlo doubt, as much pleasure as any lover of tho angel can enjoy whllo wearing out tlio summer day, waiting lu muto ex pectation tho wlshod-fur blto. Wo gen erally connect rapidity or slownoss of motion with tho ideas wo form of an animal's happiness. If, llko tho lor toi It moves with slow and measured btcps, wo pity or dcaplso, ns tho mood may bo, Its melancholy sluggish conill lion ; and tho poor persecuted load has, perhaps, incurred as much of tho odium bo unjustly attached to It, by its inac tivity, as by tho supposed loathsome- liens of Its appearance. On llio other hand, enjoyment boems nlwayis to bo tho concomitant of celerity of motion. A lly, dancing in tho air, seems morn happy than tho spider lurking in ids den ; and the lark singing at "licavon's gate,'' to posstss a more Joyous existence than tho tnall, which creeps almost Imperceptibly upon a leaf, or tho mole, which passes tho hours of brightness and sunshlno in Ills dark caverns under the ground.
