It was during the administration of the venerable Judge Thatcher iu Boston that Abby Folsoui, in the exereiso of her disposition, disturbed a meeting devoted to religions worship. For this offence, she was arrested, iudictcd anl arraigned for trial iu the Aforesaid Municipal Court. Abby was arraigned, and at once cou fronted with tlie question, "Are yon guilty or uot guilty ?" She promptly pleaded " Not guilty," and deelaml herself rcadv for trial* Judge Thatcher, in his blandest toue, inquired if Mrs. Folsom had any counsel to mauage her case. The answer was ready and prompt. " If your honor ulcasee, I shall manage the ease myself.' The trial then went on. The witueases were few, the testi lnouy to the point, the cross-examina tion by the defendant amounted to noth ing, and in a remarkably short time the government rested its ease. The court informed Mrs. Folsom, thst she was at liberty to put any person ou the stand to testify in her favor, or she might address the jury in her owu behalf. bhe had uo witnesses ; and it at once lieeame apparent, that she intendevl to rely, not on eridence, bat on argument. This was her strong battle ground. Ou this field, she had passed through many a desperate straggle, and, at least in her own opinion, lisd never suffered defeat. The court therefore directed hex to proceed. But the preliminaries must first lie settled, and Abby in her most winning tone inquired, "If I do not finish my argument to-dav, may I go on with it to-morrow ?" The court was prepared for almost anvthiug else. Here it was, atarat ten o'clock in the morning, and the query was, whether she might have the remainder of the day, and "go on to-morrow." Judge Thatcher was decidedly startled, and exclaimed, " Tomorrow! why certaiulv not! yon cant lie allowed all of to-day!" Said Abby, " How long may I have ?" The judge replied with some vehemence, "Not more than an hour." Abbv very innocently inquired, " Does votir honor confine all lawyers to that time ?" This question was an other desperate one for the court, a perfect snag. At that time there was not, certainly in this*court, nor, accord ing to the best of my information, in any other, any rule limiting counsel to any given time for making a plea. I be lieve Judge Thatcher's hour rule has been adopted in some courts since that period. Bnt it was not so then, and Abby Folium and every other person in the room kuew it, and Judge Thatcher was completely confounded. A few words passed iu an undertone between the judge and the government attorney, and, without having the question an swered, Mrs. Folsom was directed to go on. Abby then commenced her plea. The argument I do not propose to describe. It was in her peculiar stffle. She quoted the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, Shakspeare, the Bible, and whatever else came in her way. She went on, rolling in her eloquence, and rounding ont her periods for a full hour, to the great amusement of the audience and the evident perplexity of the court. At tliis point, however, the court decided to atop her. But she decided otherwise and concluded to go on. The court Nil id, " No. We will have no more of it," and ordered Babbitt, the constable, to take away her papers. Accordingly Babbitt seized her papers, and bore them off in apparent triumph. For this new turn of affairs, Abbv was better prepared than the court or any one else anticipated. She made no struggle, uttered not a word of remon strance, and made not a motion, till the deed was accomplished. She then de li liorately drew from her pocket a copy of the Constitution of Massachusetts, and from the Preamble thereof read, " Every subject has a right to be secure from all unreasonable searches and xrizurr* of his person, his house, his papers and all liis possession*." She then commenced the cry, " Give me my papers. Give me my papers. Give m'e my papers." This cry she continued, gradually raising her voice till it be came a scream. Still the cry went on, "Give me my papers. Give me my pajiers." She said nothing else, ut tered no other sound, but in one steady stream at the top of her voice, con tinued to cry, "Give me my papers." The court "was evidently" in fault, though acting under extreme provoca tion. Mrs. Folsom evidently saw her advantage, and determined to make the most of it. The court winced, fidgetted, consulted and succumbed. Babbitt was ordered to give up the papers, and Mrs. Folsom was directed to go on as long as ahe pleased. The judge in despair threw himself back in his ciiair. Abby now had the floor to herself, and enjoyed her triumph immensely. She went on in her most eloquent Btyle. She dealt her blows thick and heavy on society, on religious denominations, on fanatics, on tlie clergy, on the courts, on everybody. But the ordeal ahe had passed through, and was now passing, had produced an effect not described in her programme. The excitement hail ao wrought on her physical system, that her strength began to fail, and ahe was compelled to adopt a change of base, a new manoeuvre. She therefore stopped, complained of fatigue, and asked the court, that the case be adjourned, and she be allowed to go on "to-morrow." Judge Thatcher was altogether too shrewd a man, not to see /its advantage in this turn of the case. He said, "No. Go on, Mrs. Folsom. Go right on. We desire to hear you through. No better time than the present. We are anxious to hear you. At this time Abby's shrewdness seemed to desert her. Her cunning was in direct antagonism to her spirit of opposition. Partly from fatigue, but mainly from will, "the last named force prevailed. She refused to comply and took her seat. The court seized this advantage, and at once di rected the attorney to proceed. He ad dressed the jury very briefly, the judge charged with as few words as possible, and the jury retired. While the jury was eut, Mrs. Folsom felt relieved from the pressure and ex citement of her trial, it seemed as if her whole mental force began to droop, nd her faculties generally to fail her. Yet the force of habitwas such, that her tonguS refused to stop, and, as there was no more argument or debate to be had, she fell into n train of exhortation. The judge evidently appreciated the difficulty, and made no effort to proceed with any other business. Abby there fore took ont her Bible and read about three verses. She then commenced an exhortation, which immediately ran into the history of her family, the good qual ities of her father, etc. She then read perhaps as much more, and exhorted back to her childhood, showed how she was trained and the like. Thus the FIIED. KI'HTZ, I-Mitoraud I'ropriotor. VOL. VI. whole time was spent, while the jury deliberated. When the jury returned, every face iu that brand court room looked anxious. Whether the feeling which jwrvaded the audience arose from syuipaUiy with Mrs. Folsom, or from a desire to see her lawlessness restrained, or from sheer curiosity, it matters not. The foeliug was a strong one, and uii spectator was free frani its influence. Even Mrs. Fol som showed a degree of solicitude which had not before apjeared in her counte nance during the whole day. Hut the keenest observer, with all his power of penetration, could read nothing iu the eye of a single juror. Every look was stolid, blank, unintelligible. The clerk mechanically propounded the question: " Mr. Foreman, have you agreed upon a verdict ?" "We have." " What say you, Mr. Foreman, it the prisoner at the Iwtr guilty, or uot guilty?" "Xai ffuilty by reason / partuii in sanity." A deathlike silence for a moment en sued, when Abby with a strong effort called out: " Mr. Foreman, will you answer me one question f" The Foreman replied, " Certainly, if I can." *' Do you, from the very bottom of your soul, believe that 1 am partially insane ?" The Foreman, in a flnu aud decided tone, replied : " I do. " This was the most cruel cut of all If the verdict had been "uot guilty," she would have triumphed. If "guilty," she weuld hsve proclaimed herself a martyr, and have gone to jail, a heroine. But to hear a jury of her peers declare her insane ! Well, for once Abby Fol som was prostrate, and for s few weeks, by order of the court, enjoyed the kind protection of an Insane Asylum. A Good Work. Here is a homely little matter, say* an exchange, worth attention, as it may mean life or death before long to many a poor woman or child. A few years ago an overworked, sickly Welshman, with his wife and child, came to a mill town in this couutrv and found work in a steel factory. The hard labor and heat aggravated his disease, and very soon all the symptoms of ranid con sumption showed themselves. His wife, country-born and bred, tried sewing and washing, but, hungry and weak, she was a poor seamstress aud poorer laun dress. Want and misery were already in the wretched little shanty, and death, as the old song says, stood knocking at the door, when a lady noticed the mau with his sunken chest and hollow cough creeping past her door daily to his work, and told him, what he kuew too well already, that to coutinne in the mill was suicide. "What can I do?" he replied. " If I quit it for a week, my wife and child will starve." The woman had no money to give, but instead of heaving a sigh over the necessities of the working classes and letting the matter slip past her as so many of us would have done, she looked aln>nt to find a vacant niche for him. Presently she remembered another needy case, friend of her own, a woman of wealth and refinement, with two or three children and uncertain health, who, simply because she lived in the country, was forced half the time, like Lady Anne, to "cook, brew, bake, make tho beds, and do all herself." Here was a need which would relieve the other. In a month the Welshman and his wife were quartered in a snug cottage on one of the highest, healthiest localities in the country. He helped iu the barn, in the stable, did light work afield. Hi* wife proved an invaluable house servant, anil presently was pro moted to be housekeeper. The child was rescued from the streets and grew np in the pure air aud pure influences ol the country. This wn* ten years ago. The Welshman is now hale and hearty, has his own little patch ami works the rest of the farm on share* with the owner. Getting the Bojs I p. Calling a boy np in the morning can hardly be classed under the head of "pastimes," especially if the boy is fond of exercise the day before. And it is a Uttle aingnlar that the next hardest thing to getting a bov ont of bed is getting bim into it. "f here is rarely a mother who is a success at rousing a boy.

A grunt from the upper regions signifies that an impression has been made, and the mother is encouraged to add, " You'd better be getting down here to your breakfast, young man, before I come nn there an' give you something you'll feeL" This so startles the young man that he immediately goes to sleep again.

About once a year is believed to be as often as is consistent with the rules of health. He saves his father a great many steps by hiathoughtfillness. —Danbury News. A Railroad Seized by an Armed Force. A railroad war of some magnitude has been in progress at Youngs town, Ohio. At>ont a year ago the stockholders of the Liberty and Xenia Railroad Company sold that road to the Ashtabula, Youngstown and Pittshnrg Railroad Company, receiving in payment part in cash and part in bonds of the latter Company. Owing to some subsequent misunderstanding the matter was taken before the courts, and for the past four or five mouths the Ashtabula, Youngs town and Pittsburg Railroad Company have held control of the former road by virtue of an injunction which expired lately, at which time there appeared upon the premises two of the principal stockholders of the Liberty and Xenia road, with a large force of men, who tore up the track, cut the telegraph wires, stopped all trains, took possession of the rolling-stock, and are now in for cible possession of the road with a force of two to three hundred armed men. William McCreery, President, and other officers of the Ashtabula, Youngstown and Pittsbsrg road are now at Youngs town, and it is reported that a special train has left Pittsburg with reinforce ments for McCreery, who is backed by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Great excitement prevailed, and there was imminent danger of a not.

Oue young man, with uo clothing save a shirt aud vest tunl two life buoys fastened around his body, leajted into the water ami at tempted to reach the rock. The passen gers who give Ute statement say they en deavored to dissuade him from the at 1 tempt, but he persisted, and when dually they were rescued and lauded on shore", thebody of Uie young man, who perish evl in his attempt, was the first they saw, and the life buoys were still on the bodv. Among tlie passengers waa u native of the old country who had been in tho United States for Rome time, ami hsul lately returned to Kngloml to bring loa wife and family of five children to the home he had provided for them in the New World. They were on lamrd the ill-fated Atlantic,"and father, mother, and children all perished. Several of the passengers who were landed from the steamer Delta were considerably bruised about the body and lower Limb*. One man had hia two leaw broken, and others were ao sore from being knocked against the rocka that they were scarce ly able to stand. Three or four were sent to the hospital. The survivor* say it was a fearful sight to witness the manner iu which many uf the unfortu nate persona met their death. Unable to reach the deck in eooacquanos of the jam in the gangway, several rushed through the port hole only to be seized in the iron graspof the merciless waves, and dashed to death against the sides of the ship. The ouly youth saved from the wreck makes the following statement: My name ia John Hiulev. I am about twelve years of age. 1 got ou board the Atlantic at Liverpool with niv mother, father, and young brother. all be longed to Ashton, Lancashire. The first thing worth mentioning that he knewof was that he was asleep in his berth when a great noise awakened him, although he did not hear any voices. There seemed to be a great rush, and he stumbled out of lied and iuto theerowd. The greater portion passed him, but he saw six men crowding into a top berth in the upper steerage, and he followed them. One of the me* broke through a window and got out, and the lioy did the same, one kind-hearted individual push ing him through before he had made the egress himself. Onee outside be held ou by the ropes until himself and hia companions were rescued by the life Ixiat. What l>ecame of hia parents and brother he did not know, but is cer tain that they were drowned. The fam ily were on their way to New York, at the invitation of two married daughters who had settled there. The scene about the steamer was fearful. The lifeless body of the purser coald !>e seen hangiug over the side of the steamer, his head jammed in be tween the rails, and the sea causing the legs to keep in continual motion. Hun dreds of other bodies could be seen in similar positions. Auioug the heart rending scenes, one or two were partic ularly sad. One gentleman, Albert Snmner, of San Francisco, committed suicide by jutuning from the rigging into the water, first taking off his coat. Others who were near him endeavored to dissuade him, but they were too much benumbed to prevent him. lie said, " There is no prospect of rescue, and it's useless to remain here and suf fer," and then he jumped overboard. One lady, a saloon passenger, was beard to say to her has hand, " Leave me and save yourself. Yon can't save both." But be refused, and they went down to gether, clasped in each other's arras. It was the occasion of mnch remark that with very few exceptions the married men all perished. When they found it impossible to save their wives and little ones, they preferred to die with them to deserting them. Many instance* are known where the men could have es caped alone, bnt refused to do so. This was especially noticeable among* the German emigrants and Americans. The National Cemeteries. As the U. 8. Congress recently ap propriated $1,000,000 for headstones to mark the graves of Union soldiers in terred in the national cemeteries, thia subject becomes of general interest to the people. The national cemeteries are principally in the Southern States. There are seventeen in Virginia alone, seven in Tennessee, fivo in Kentucky, four in Louisana, four in North Caro lina, three eaeh in Mississippi, Illinois. Missouri, Arkansas, and Maryland; two each in Texas, Georgia, South Caro lina, the District of Columbia, and Kansas, and one each in New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Florida, Alabama, lowa, and the Indian Terri tory, making sixty-nine in all. The graves in the Gettysburg Cemetery are already provided with headstones. The number of graves in the national ceme teries requiring headstones ■ is about 250,000. The law requires headstones for all of these graves to be supplied and set up for thu amount of the ap propriation, viz.: 81,000,000. This would make the average cost of each headstone $4. The law requires each headstone to be marked with the num ber corresponding to its number in the register of burials, and also with the name of the soldier snd the State to which he belonged, when these are known. The numlier of the known is about 150,000. The law also requires the Seeretary of War to decide upon the size, form, color, ami quality of the headstones liefore advertising for proposals, and it gives him authority to adopt different models aud different kinds of stone for the various ceme teries, but all must be of durable stone, and of sufficient size and weight to re main in place when set up, and to pre sent a respectable appearance. Tho contracts may ho made for separate quantities, or for the whole work, the contracts to be given to tho lowest re sponsible bidders, regard being had to the nuality of the stone and t lie style and finish of the work, provided the ag gregate cost of the whole work does not exceed the amount appropriated ; but if this aggregate is greater than the appropriation, none of the work can be undertaken. LIBEL Srrr.—Father T. A. Martin, a Catholic priest at Euclid, Ohio, hM sued the Cleveland Leader and one of its correspondents for libel, claiming $5,000 damages. The cause of the action is based upon assertions contained in a communication published in the Leader, to the effect that Father Martin told a widow her deceased husband was in purgatory, but for $lO the priest would pray him out; that the widow not hav ing the money, the priest said he would wait a reasonable time, provided it was secured by a responsible party.

How She Stopped It. An exchange say* the aubject of bor rowing and lending came up in the course of a conversation with one of its subscribers the other day, when he sud denly recollected a funny runuiwsuw of that character which hod happened in his own ueighliorhood. lie said he had a neighbor whose family were great Ixirrowera, but not so distinguished as paymasters—they were alwsys borrow ing. bnt seldom," if ever, returned the exact amount borrowed. An old Quaker lady, another neighbor, who had en dured there invasions for a long tinu patiently, hit upon a very philosophical mode of eventually putting a stop to the nuisance. Kiting her own coun sel, the next time her good man went to town, he had a separate and express or der to purchase a pound of the !>oat tea and also a new canister to put it in. As he knew she already had plenty of tea and also s canister, he was puzzled to determine what the old lady wanted of more tea and a new canister, but his questionings and reasonings elicited nothing more than a repetion of the order. " Jim, did I not tell thee to get me a pound of the beat tea and a new canis ter ? Now go along and do as I bid thee." And go along he did. and when he came home at night the tea and new canister were his companion*. The old lady took them from liirn with an amus ed expression on her usual placid fea tures, and dejMjaiting the tea iu the canister, set it on the shelf for a special use. It had not long to wait, for the borrowing neighbor had frequent use for the aromatic horb. The good old lady loaned generously, emptying back in the canister any remittance of bor rowed teaa which tlio neighbor's con science inclined her to make. Time went on, and after something less than the ono hundredth time of borrowing, the neighltor again appeared for "just another drawing of tea," when the oft visited tea canister was brought out and found to be empty, and the good old lady and obliging neighbor was just one pound of tea poorer than when she bought the new canister which now only remained to tell the story. Then she made a little chars etc ristic speech, perhaps the first in her life; she said: "Thou seest that empty cauiatcr. I filled it for thee with a pound of my host tea and 1 have bait it all to thee in driblets and put in to it all thou hast sent mo in return, and none but thyself hath taken therefrom or added ut<> it, and now thou seest it empty ; therefore I will say to thee, thon liaat borrowed thyself out and I can lend thee no more!" Destroyed by an Earthquake. Wlieu the steamship St. Eonis left the put f Salvador there was a report there that the City of San Salvador had been destroyed by a great earthquake on the4th of Marco. The telegraph lines to the port being down, no detain oouhl he had when she was leaving. The City of Han Salvador, situated on a little stream flowing into the iVriflc Ocean, 105 miles southeast of Guate mala, is about three miles fmin the volcano of San Salvador. At various timea it has suffered greatly from earth 3uakea, by one of which it was nearly estroyed in 1050, and by another of which it cams near suffering a similar fate in 1854. The city was well bnilt, and contained several churches, a flue cathedral, and several oouvents. It had a population of about 18,000 sonls. In 1853 its inhabitants numbered about 30,000, but after the earthquake of April 16, 1854, they fell to the number mentioned above. Then the Govern ment of the republic of which it was the capital laid out a new city, called Nuevo San Salvador, ten miles nearer the sea, and transferred to it the seat of Sivernment, but so large a number of ie inhabitants preferred the old place that in 1855 it was again made the capital. Society in Washington is all agog over the rumored engagement of Miss Nellie Grant to Tom Murphy, son of Collector Tom Murphy of New York. I 3 J I ffi —. E ** U't/t Dimmy Jtom j I. t .

This arrow which Mitchell let fly, re ferred to the speech which the Bishop of Gloucester and Bristol recently made, in which he advised the farmers to "duck in the borsc-jwnd" any agitator that came into their neighborhood to make their laborers dissatisfied, it is now called "he bishop's beptiom."

They have jamaed by what in their incxpenanre of the aea and ita danger* appear* to them to bo • the tin sit perilous portion of the voyage, when in mid-ocean they by in their 1 bertha liatonuig to the washing of the i aawa against the voaael'* aide, peering ; Jowu in imagination into the fathomless I depths of waters heaeath tbetu, and thinking with a ahudder*of the appar ently frail protection that keopa them ' from a fearful death. In a few hour* they will hoar the welcome cry ol | " land," and they fondly believe that all I danger ia at an end. j It waa in the enjoyment of theae hap py, ho|x*ful feelings that the poor aoul* oil btard the Atlantic laid down to reat l on laat Monday night. Little did they j think that they were speeding onward ' to destruction as surely aa if the ill fated i vessel that bore them had liecu driven liefore the wind and tossed about at the mercy of the waves without rudder or i compass. Even while they slept—prob , ably while they <lre*raei of the land they hoped to reach on the marrow —the 1 dark shadow of death fell upon them. ' In the alilhieas of the uigbta loud rranh aroused them from sleep- another—and <aa they start---1 up, terrified at the un i aeen and uuknown danger, a horrible, j gurgling sound fell upon their earn. , Uarely bad they tune for the first ago. ! nuted exclamation, "MrGod! My(od!" In-fore the cry was stifled on their lips. , Scarcely was "an instant left in which to clasp husband, wife or child to their 1 bosoms before the glcrcileaa water* rushed in upon them, tearing the dear • >aaa from their arm*, drowning them uiiaerahly in tlie cabins or carry ingihera out to aea shrieking maaaeson the sweep 1 'of UK- mighty wares. We can see the 1 :igomaed fiCe* lifted up in mockery, aa ; it were, by the hearing water* ; we can , hear the wild wail that broke from the | cabin fur au instant, only to be followed i bv tlie stiUnes* of doatli—the moan , which sounded to the terrified foreigner like tbe moan of the *••* lion, but was i in truth the smothered shriek of three ' i hundred souls struggling against suflb i cation in the agony of death. But it is j i merciful to draw down the curtain and I shut out the heartrending scene. Tn the hour that norma the hour of ! greatest security to tbe inexperienced ( i traveler the experienced seaman feels ; that the critical moment of the voyage | haa arrived. He knows the perils of a i treacherous coast. Hi* eye strains for i the evidence of land along the boriaon, I for the discovery of the guiding beacons. Qia ear listens anxiously for the warn ing sotmd of breakers. When in mid <ccan he can sleep contentedly amidst the howling of the tempest; but when nearing the coast he studies every vari ation of the barometer, every sign in theaky. Carefully and cantionaly he feels hia way, now taking soundings, and now counting the knots as tlie log- HDC runs off the reel. Tlie commander of an ocean steamer filled with a living freight ia bound to ail opt every precaution that can possibly be taken against any conceivable dan ger, however remote. He accepts as grave a responsibility as any human being can incur. Hundreds of live* | are tn his keeping. Hia ]waaengers j trust him with implicit faith. Helpless themselves, ignorant of the first rudi ments of navigation, with e-xaggcroted idea* of tlie dangers of the sea, they rely wholly upon hia skill and fidelity, and not mfsequentlr look up to him ! with revoreuce and affection horn of the sense of dependence. No faithful cap tain of a passenger vessel would take a risk that might endanger tbe lives en trusted to hi* care any more than a lov ing fnther would wantonly imperil tbe lives of hi* children. Carelessness is a crime on the part of such an officer. It ia a criminal act, deserving of exem plary punishment, when steamship owner*, for the sake of large profit*, disregard in any way the of those who Travel on their vessels; but espe cially is it criminal for an incompetent officer to take charge of a passenger ship, or for s competent commander to neglect any duty, however aii|arently trivial, that may be required for tlie protection of his vnsscl and those on lioard. It ia impossible to lielicve that the owners of the Atlantic or her com mander are blameless for the terrible calamity that boa occurred. We are unwilling at the present time to inquire whether the owners of the White Star line exnrciacd proper care and prudence when they placed any vessel under charge of Captain Williams; that serious question must !>c discussed hereafter. But it is certain that they did commit a criminally careless act when they sent the Atlantic to sea at this seaaon of the year with an insufficient supply of coal. We disregard the denial inaue by the agents of tlie line, and their plus that it would l> more expensive to rtui into Halifax tliau to take on hoard in Eng land a double supply of coal. Tlie fact that the vessel was actually short of coal is conclusive Evidence that the de nial is worthless j the further fact that the space that should have been devoted to coal could be used for freight, at a largo profit, dispones of the special plea. This is now the verdict of the people, and we oau see nothing that will be likely to secure its reversal. The evidence that fixes incompetency or neglect ou the uufortunate com mander of the lost vessel is terrible conclusive. His own atory convicts him of both these crimes. He was ap proaching a coast notoriously treacher ous and bristling all over with dangers. At midnight he judged that he was only forty-eight miles sonth from Bam bro Island, and he was steaming along at full speed, making, as he supposed, from eight to twelve knots an hour. Where, then, should have been his place bnton the bridge? No officer of even ordinary prudence would run his Toriiin: Svi.OO a Year, in Advance. i , Tj gin filial I '-** 7 *•"•§•* '*<* vessel, on the strength of his reckoning, * at full spaed on a rocky coast, and Cap tain Wulumm, with a thousand lives In his charge, should, even at Ida own calculations, have hove to until morn ing Bu Captain Williams went to bed!

He was called at that hour, but tiy a messenger different from the one be had expected. At three o'clock, when, according to this officer's "rack i ouuig," his vessel ought to bsve lascn about eighteen or twenty milee south of Hambro light, ahe ran craahing on to Mars Book, about twwity initea to Uy weat and aeventoeu mile* to tb# fliuWi of this careful navigator's "icckmiing." Hushing on deck, he fouttd the effect of his fatal reckleaaneas before hia rye*. He saved his own life, and four hun dred men eacaped with theiik; but, aa ha laments, i-vrry woman and chiijl perished. No wunder that the com minder nil* (Lift fur h® must frel that th# life of every lost pa*- srtiger was at hia merry, in hi# keep ing, was loat through hi* criminal in competency or groaa neglect of duty.

Even the one boy saved owed hia life to his importunity. His piteous cries 1 compelled attention to his Peru.

A j glacier la a river of iee paahing ita way > slowly down from mountain beighta to the ocean leveL Where, aa on the j arctic ahorea, the glacier reaches the *ea, iU lower cud is impelled into the ocean, the base tasting on the bottom. , Propelled by the weight and force of, ita upper part, it is pushed into the sea | or bar, often to a considerable distance, ; and plows its alow way over the Vadium. . and carrviag off huge rocks in ita path ! and tearing the bottom to pieoea. Enor mous fragments may be separated from : the end of the glacier ia two different l ways, according to the temperature of i the ea into which they protrude. In j Bpit*lergen and on the coasts of South- i era Greenland, the oongealed mass, j which often projecta far into the sea, ia gradually undermined by the compara tively warm wavea which beat agicrmt it, and the remaining fragments over hanging tho water are detached with a U-rri ble noise, aud plunge into the oeean. M. Martins and outer member* of the i French expedition to Spitsbergen have j observed tnia at the baae of all the gla- j eiere of that arehipelzgo. But in very cold aeaa, like that of Bmith Strait, the j water, being of a still lower tempera- ; tore, can not melt tiie glacier, which J continues its course into the bay, ita j extreme end reaching far into the i depths of the ocean, like an inunanse i plane gliding over tne rocks. Though j fighter than the water, the enormous j frozen mass in kept together below the , surface by the force of cohesion. But ■ a time oomee when it must break apart, . and then the broken piece shoots up-' ward to the surface, impelled by its less specific gravity. Tims icebergs are f formed; for the larger masses thus broken off are mountainous in their pro portions. The total height of an iceberg slews exceeds seven or eight times the height ofthe part above water. But iceberg* have been met by Teasels which were 800 and even 400 feet above water, aud whose mass mtial thus have been from 2,100 to 2.800 feet in perpendicular height. When auch a berg floata into a warmer sea, ita baae melt# more rapidly j than its top, and the result ia a aomrr* | satilt, the whole vast inaaa turning ovar and over nntil it recovers ita centre of j gravity. J The iee masses approach tiie equator from both poles; they obey tho currents which seise them; but, owing to the greater warmth of the northern hemis phere, icebergs haTe been found 25# miles nearer the equator in the aoathern than in the northern hemisphere.
