And gentle foutfillle, as the cainds
The streets are silent, for ate idle droues
Who bring no honey to the human hire,
Ilut swarm at corners and at open doots,

Have sought rite temple where the Savior sit.,
To calmly - criticise his mode of
he, if Ile, an obscure Nez tr no,
Can fashion It with such !Thinge subtleness,
As thrills, wen say, the coldest li,:Cning he.trt.
But now the dreamful silentless is o'er;
A group of Scribes and Pharisees appear,
And in their midst a wretched woman mores,
A blot upon the beauty of the day.
Her head is bent in uttermost despair,
Her hands are clasped up , ,n her beatinq
And burning tears are failing down the cheeks
Where conseiens sin has sent the rn , hing blood.
Shame clothes her as a garment. whiie her Ned
Shudiers within its des,:or.tted shrine,
Stained and unutterably dishonored,
So ad a sight, so loath-0111e y deformed,
That angels weep and shudder as they gaze.
They reach the temple: in a inetnent more,
The sinner stands before the Savior's face.
How wonderfal that face, the burning tongoe
(seraphim would fail to picture it.
Divinely sweet, unfathomably
Unutterably tender: in the eyes
Patience so God-like and compassionate,
A look of Jlary round the sacred lips,
That wear a sign if weariness repressed,
As though pain slept a little further back.
how young Ile seems, and yet lie seems not young,
But grave and gentle, as if many ear, s
Pressed on an infinitely loving heart.
The trembling woman kneels before her judg,o,
And clasps her hands upon her guilty face;
Never before seemed purity before,
Never before seemed sin so horrible.
She did not plead, she knelt there clothed in shame,
An outcast and degraded—weeping knelt,
Waiting the words, "The woman must bestoned."
The crowd draws near, to hear what Jesus says,
And silence steals upon the multitude;
The sunlight falls athwart the Tempi, floor;
Through open doorways sighs the fragrant wind;
The little children patter with soft steps
In nuiet corners, knowing not as yet
Life's tragedy, intense and passionate.
But Jesus speaks; the Temple grows more hushed,
"Let him," Ile says, "who knewc that he is pure,
Cast the first stone at her." The men look up,
Startled a little; then they hung their heads,
And blushes gather on the brows unused
To show such color. Slowly, one by one,
Without a word, they slink abashed away,
'Till Jesus and the woman stand apart.
"Co, sin no more," Ile says. And forth she goes,
Tu mend the ruined beauty of her life,
To wash her soul in penitential tears,
And ever after, with undy lug love,
To follow Christ lamenting.
But where is he, the sharer of her guilt?
The man whom God appointed as the head,
The shield of woman in her weaknesses—
Whom she shou d look upon as less than God,
But noble. loveable, and worthy trust,
Incapable of wronging that weak heart
That seeks its strength in meekly loving him.
Is he not, too, in deepest grief and shame,
Filled to o'erflowim , with an agony
That cannot, life the W 4111,4 lI'S find relief
In tears that scorch and dry upon the cheek ?
Is ho not, too, surrounded by a group
That look on him with loathing, up

Of utter de;rredatikai ?
A sumptuous fea.a is :Trend upon his board,
And joyous guests are pledging him in wine;
lie's clothed in purple, at,4l the flashing light
Of diamonds sparkle:, on his breast and hands;
Odorous scents are stealing from his rubes,
And watching slaves are hanging on his looks;
And dancing g irls are waiting in the halls,
With lyre and sistrum to beguile the hour,
And touch the senses into soft delight;
And half-pleased smiles are playing round his lips,
And conscious laughter ripples on the air,
As pleasant banter lightly tells the t a le,
And friendship tnsrrily accuses him
Of having won a wi,wan from her lord.
Yes, stone the woman—let the man go free!
Draw back your skirts, lest they may touch

If she puts out a poor. polluted palm ;
But lay thy hand in his on bridal day,
And swear to cling to him will, wifely love
And tender reverence. Trust him who led
A sister woman to a fearful fate.
Yes, stone the woman—let the man go free!
Let one soul suffer for the guilt of two—
It is the doctrine of a hurried world,
Too out of breath for holding balances
When nice distinctions and injustices
Are calmly weighed. But, ah ! how will it bo
On that strange day of final lire and flame,
When men shall wither with a mystic fear,
And all shall stand before the one true Judge ?
Shall sex make THEN a difference in sin
Shall lie, the searcher of the hidden heart,
In Ilis eternal and divine decree,
Condemn the woman and forgive the man ?

THE DEATH-CHARM.
Along a broad highway in the State of
Maryland rode two persons, mounted upon
splendid animals, with the easy grace of
equestrians accustomed to the saddle.
One was a maiden of scarcely more than
sixteen, with a fresh, lovely face, and a
form developing into perfection, wearing a
dark-blue habit, and a slouch hat with a
heavy ostrich plume. Gauntlet-gloves in
cased her tiny hands, while about her
there was an air of high-breeding.
Her company was nearly double her age,
attired in the undress uniform ofa captain
of cavalry. lie was a striking looking
man, with a frank, fearless face that was
very fascinating.
That there was a love affair existing be
tween the two—young as was the maiden—
their glances indicated, and the course of
true love, in their case, seemed to be run
ning smooth.
Presently they came upon a crowd of
men in the roadway. A youth lay bound
upon the ground, his face pale and bleed
ing, and above him bent a half dozen rude
fellows, talking in angry tones.
"Carter, what means this disturbauce?"
asked the maiden, sternly addressing one
of the men.
The man touched his hat politely and
replied :
“lt weans, Miss Lulu, that we've caught
a Tartar here, but we've got him tied fast
now."
"What has he been doing, Carter ?"
"Well, you see, Miss, I saw him coming
out of the forest, where, you know, your
father allows no gunning, and I called to
him to stop and he paid no attention to
me, so I calls the boys from the field and
we gave chase and caught hint, though he
fought like a tiger."
'And have vuu dared attack a man in
the public road, sir ? My father shall hear
Hof this at once," said Lulu Sanford, an
grily.
"Ile's nothing. but a gypsy, Miss, from
the camp over the bill yonder," sullenly
said the man.
-He is a human being, and was doing
no harm. Unbind him at once, sir !"
The young officer now sprang from his
horse and quickly released the youth, who
was secured with a rope, and said, kindly;
"Get up, my man, and return to your
camp."
HUNTINGDON, PA , FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1879.
Free.
E'ljt torg-Erlier.
The youth turned his dark eyes upon
the ~., p eaker, and said, faint!y :
"I cannot, sir; I am badly hurt."
"Shame on you, Carter !—a number of
burly men. to beat a poor boy as you have
done! You shall suffer for this, all of
you !" cried the maiden, indignantly ; and,
as the men hung their heads abashed, she
eJrn inued :
"Raise him in your arms and carry him
at once to the mansion, whi!e I ride by
and send Pr. Moore to see him. Tell Jane
to put him in a comfortable room."
Anxious to redeem themselves in the
eyes of their employer's daughter, the men
raised the youth in their arms and bore
him away, while Lulu Sanford and her es
cort, Captain Fred de Liney, galloped on
after the physician.
An hour after the two rode up to the
door of a very handsome mansion sur
rounded by ornamental grounds, flower
gardens, and every indication that those
who dwelt there were possessed of wealth
and refined taste.
At the door an elderly gentleman met
them, echo called out ph a , antly :
"Vlrell, Fred. I am glad to see you, my
boy. Richard told me you had arrived
this morning."
"Yes, colonel, I received sixty days' fur
lough, and stopped to see you on my way
home; and this afternoon Miss Lulu and
myself ran off for a ride," replied the
young officer.
"And I am very glad we did, papa, for
I found your overseer, Carter, and five of
the hired men, had beaten a boy severely
just because he did not stop when com
manded to," said Lulu.
"Ycs, the doctor is now with the poor
boy, and his father too. I fear the youth
is badly hurt, and Carter and the men
shall leave my place at once, for the little
fellow was doing no harm, and his being a
gipsy is no crime But come into the
housa and get ready for dinner, for I have
a surprise for you."
"A surprise for me, sir r said Lulu.
"Yes, I have found a governess fur you
—one iu every way competent to teach you
in singing and instrumental music, as you
desire, and who speaks Italian perfectly;
she will be here in two weeks, and I have
engaged her for two years, so you can com
plete your education under her."
"I am so glad—l was afraid I would
have to go to boarding school." And Ln
lu ascended to ber own room, while her
father took Captain Ba Laney in charge.
The gipsy boy was severely hurt, and
for nearly a week the doctor feared he
might not recover. Ilis father hung night
and day over him, never caring for him
self. At length the youth rallied, and re
cuperated with such rapidity that the gips) ,
chief said he could take him back to camp,
and asked to see Lulu, who had been un
tiring in her devotion to the wounded boy.
Finding that the gipsy would go, Lulu
ordered the carriage to drive them to their
camp, a kindness that was accepted.
"And, lady," said the chief, with deep
feeling: "my boy owes you his life, and the
pra)er9 or our people will ever he for your
,y. I have innwy to pay. yet I will not
insult a heart that was kind—so kiud that
. you broil ,lint my boy to your own home,
and have cared for him as though he were
o;:' your own kin, and not a poor wandering
gil) - 3:
- "Now, lady. I beg you to remember, if
ever the world should turn against you,
that you have true friends in the camp of
Captaiu Girl, the gipsy."
Lulu cff;:red her hind in farewell, to
both Captain Carl, as his tribe called him,
and the boy, and the dignified manner and
striking appearance of the wandering chief
could not but impress her.
* * * * * *
The second day after the departure of
the gipsies from Sanford Hill, as the rich
old cx army officer's place was called, there
was au arrival in the person of the governess
engaged to -finish off" Lulu's education.
At the first glance at Viola Hale, Lulu
did not like ber ; but in a few moments
after she. changed her mind, and seemed
almost fascinated by the beautiful governess
for she was strangely, weirdly beautiful,
with great black eyes in which slept worlds
of passion, ripe red lips, teeth like milk
anti without a blemish, and hair that
touched the floot - when she was standing
—hair blue-black with an inclination to
curl.
Her complexion was dark, almost bronze
in hue, but there was rich blood in her
cheeks, and her form was the very perfec
tion of grace and beauty.
Her age was hard to tell—at times she
seemed like a girl, and then again one
might not be far wrong if he said she was
nearly thirty.
From her entree into the mansion she
ruled, and yet no one seemed to know that
she held the reins, but Colonel Sanford
soon became her slave. Lulu seemed
wholly under her influence, and no one
seemed conscious that she made her power
felt. She was an accomplished musician
and sang with a depth of feeling that would
capture any listner.
When at length Captain Fred De Lancy
came again to Sanford Hill on a visit, and
met Viola Hale, he seemed to Lulu's sur
prise, not to take a fancy to her.
"That woman has a history, Lulu, and
a dark one, mirk my words for it," he
said.
"She is very beautiful, Fred, and accom
plished, sweet-tempered, and, and—"
"And what, Lulu ?"
"And I do not like to have you find
fault with my sweet governess."
"Then I will not. She's an angel—
only she has a history," and the persistent
man could not be changed in his opinion.
The next day Fred Proposed a horseback
ride, and when the horses were brought
round, Viola Hale appeared in a habit that
set off her wondrous beauty strangely.
Refusing the off,!r of Fred to aid her,
she laid her hand on the pommel and
leaped li;htly into the saddle from the
ground.
''She's been in a circus, I'll wager,"
said Fred. in a low tone, as he lifted Lulu
to the saddle, and he was more convinced
of this when he saw the perfect manner in
which the governess managed the wild
horse she rode.
Whether Viola Hale realized that the
young captain did not exactly like her, it
was hard to tell ; but she suddenly began
to turn her battery of fascination upon him
in a manner that threatened to change his
mind regarding her. But fortunately his
furlough was soon ended ; and he departed
for his command on the frontier, a happy
man, because Lulu Sanford had promised
to become his wife when she was a year
and a half older, and Colonel Sanford ap
proved the match ; for the young officer
came of good family, and was a brave and
dashing fellow, possessed no evil habits,
and yet was the richest man in the army.
* * * * *
A year passed by, and again Captain
Fred De Lancy was a visitor at Sanford
Hill, and delighted at the wonderful pro
gross Lulu had made under her beautiful
governess.
"Have you picked up any links, Lulu,
that connect her with the past ?" asked
Fred.
'For shame, Fred ! She is all that is
lovely, and I believe that papa is really in
love with her; and I assure you I would
not object to her for a stepmother."
"And does she care for your father, Lu
lu ?"
"I thought once; now I believe she
only admires and respects him."
"He has lost heavily of late, he wrote
mc.'
"Yes. You'll not get the rich heiress
you expected to, as papa is now barely well
off."
'•I have been more fortunate, for my
wealth has increased, and after I marry
you, Lulu, I shall resign from the army,
and settle down to take care of my vast
estates."
"I am glad to hear you say so. fur I have
no desire to see your brown curls taken off
by an Indian's scalping knife. But here
comes Miss Hale."
As Lulu spoke the governess swept in
to the room, and more than ever gracious
was she to Captain 1)e Laney, and daring
his entire visit did she devote herself to
him in such a kindly way, that when be
again returned to the army he admitted
that he had misjudged her, and believed
her a thoroughly true woman.
would like to see Miss Sanford—my
boy has sent her some trinkets he has made
for her," said Captain Carl, the gipsy chief,
appearing at Sanford Hill one day, two
years nearly after his departure.
In his hand he held a basket, in which
were some shell and wooden ornaments
skillfully carved.
"Miss Lula has not been very well of
late, and it's a pity, as the captain's coin
ing home soon to marry her ; but I'll tell
her you are here," said the butler, and he
soon returned-with word that he was to
come into the library.
In au easy chair, a book lying closed
upon her lap, sat Lulu Sanford, looking
pale, and with a haggard expression in her
beautiful eyes.
"It was very kind of your son to re
member me, and those are very beautiful
indeed. I suppose he is quite a man now ?"
But the gipsy made no reply, and his
eyes were rivited upon Lulu.
Again she spoke to him, surprised at
this strange look, and then from his lips
burst the question.
"Where did you get that charm, lady ?"
Supported by a gold chain of rare
workmanship that encircled her neck, hung
a massive gold heart, with a single ruby of
rare size in the centre, and upon this the
eyes of the gipsy were fixed with a start
led look.
"This beautiful charm," and Lulu rais
ed it in her fingers—"it was given to me
by my governess a month a ago."
"Lady, I would know that gold heart
with its single red eye among a million ;
it is De«th-Charm."
The than spoke in hoarse tones, and his
manner startled Lulu, who said quickly :
"The death charm ! What can you
mean ?"
'•Lady, let me see it, please."
Impressed by his manner, Lulu unfast
ened the clasp and handed it to him.
For a moment he gazed intently upon it,
and then, to the surprise of the maiden,
touched a spring, the existence of which
she knew not or, a❑d it flew open like a
locket.
"I knew I was not mistaken—it is the
death charm. See here, lady—do you see
these little marks that look like engrav
ing ? Well, they are holes through the
;;old back, as you see when I hold it up to
the light. There you see this sponge with
in this wire case ?—this is saturated in
deadly poison—poison that you inhale day
by day, until you gradually die, and none
knew the cause of your death. Lady, the
one who gave you this ?cished to murder
you. ,,
As white as snow, and trembling with
excitement, Lulu cried :
"No, no, no ! It was given me by my
dear governess, Viola Hale."
"Viola Hale! The first name is hers;
she must be the one who is your foe, lady.
Is the woman yoti speak of in this house ?"
As the gipsy spoke the governess glided
into the room, and as her eyes fell upon
the tall form near Lulu, she stopped, turn
ed livid, and with a cry upon her lips,
sank upon the floor.
"Oh, sir, call the servants, for she has
fainted," sried Lulu in alarm.
"Lady, let her lie there while I tell you
that she is not worthy of a kind thought.
That woman is my wife !"
'Your wife ?" whispered Lulu.
"Yes, lady, she, like myself, a gipsy,
and at fourteen years of age became my
wife and queen of the band; but the year
after the birth of our boy, whose life you
have saved, she ran away from me to go
with an Italian prince, and when she had
squandered his money she left him, too,
to attach herself to a Spaniard, a sorcerer,
and the man who made this death-charm
I hold in my hand. She killed him with
his own poisons, and came back to me,
professing repentance. Alas ! it was from
a desire to get her boy ; as I still doubted
her, she gave me this very charm to wear
around my neck, telling me it would bring
back my love for her.
"Accidentally I found a paper one day
that told me the secret of the death charm
and its poison, and I accused her of her
treachery, and so great was her assumed
grief that I did not make known her intent
to kill me to my band.
"The following day she disappeared and
carried the charm with her. Since then
I have never known what became of her;
but thank heaven, I came her to day !"
In horror Lulu had listened to the awful
story, and then she felt all was true, for it
came to her now how her old nurse had
said the governess wanted to marry Fred
De Laney herself; then how she had insist
ed that for love of her the death-charm
should be worn day and night, and from
the time she had put it on her health had
begun to fail.
"Oh, how could she be so wicked ?"
cried the girl.
"It is her rature, lady. Ah ! she is re
covering consciousness," and the gipsy
chief stepped towards the prostrate woman,
and, in his own language, spoke to her
sternly.
With every nerve quivering, and her
black eyes looking wild with terror, the
woman arose and stood before her master
thoroughly conquered.
"Lady, farewell. Please send this wo
man's things to this address in the city,"
and Carl handed Lulu u card, while he
continued : "Keep that death-charm, but
take from it that deadly poison. Keep it
as a souvenir that Captain Carl repaid the
service you did his son."
Then turninm b to the guilty, trembling
woman, he said to her simply :
"Come !"
Without a word, and with bowed head,
she followed him, and Lulu was left alone
in horror and grief. Thus her father found
her, and from her lips heard the terrible
story. He folded his daughter in his arms
in a rapture at her escape, while he said :
"I do believe her guilty now, Lulu, for
I remember I believed she loved me at
first, yet her manner changed as soon as I
met with financial misfortunes; and it was
evidently her intention to kill you and
marry Fred De Laney, for she frequently
asked about his riche4. I will order her
trunks sent off at once. I wonder what
her band will do with her ?"
einnot tell. father."
"Then we will drive to the camp to
morrow and have a talk with Captain
Carl, who seems to be a splendid fellow."
And the next day Lulu felt so much
better that she drove to the gipsy encamp•
ment with her father; but the wanderers
had departed, and when they returned
again to the neighborhood, five years after,
Lulu was Mrs. Fred Be Laney, and had a
little boy whom tliey had named Cart, of
ter the chief, who, with his son, came to
Sanford Hill to visit them.
The gipsy boy had grown into a hand
some man, and Captain Carl's locks were
nearly white, and a look of settled melan
choly rested in his eyes.
\Then asked by Lulu and her huNband
about Viola, he said, in a low, stern voice:
She is dead, lady; our tribe sentenced
her to die by her own hand, and, being a
gipsy, she obeyed."
And Captain Carl and his son wended
their way back to the woodland encamp
ment; burying in their hearts a bitter se
cret.

Lying in Bed.
Let us analyze this lying in bed a little
further. I maintain that, in the mere
fact of !yin.' in bed, there is something
healthy and recuperative to the system.—
The wheels of life are oiled and eased. The
proper and legitimate purpose of stopping
in bed is to go to sleep. There is no tonic
or medicine in the whole world like sleep.
The more sleep the brain gets the better
it does the brain work. All great brain
workers have been great sleepers.
Sir Walter Scott could never do with
less sleep than ten hours. A fool may
want eight hours, as George 111 said, but
a philosopher wants nine. The men who
have been the greatest generals are men
who could sleep at will. Thus it was with
both Wellington and Napoleon. The
greatest speakers in the House of Commons
have been the men who can go to sleep
there as much as they like.
This explained the juvenality of the
aged Palmerston. There is a man who
has been Attorney General, whom I have
seen bury his face in his hands over his
desk and sleep sJundly until his own case
should come on. "Sleep," says the Greek
proverb, "is the medicine for every dis
ease. If he sleeps well he will do well."
A friend told me that he treated himself
for a fever. He went to bed with a large
pitcher of lemonade by his side. He drank
and slept, slept and drank, till he drank
and slept himself well again. When you
take your bed get all the sleep you can
out of your bedstead, even although, to
quote Dick Swiveller's saying, you have to
pay fur a double bedded room, confessing
that you have taken a most unreasonable
amount of sleep out of a single bed. You
will be hankering a whole store of recupera
tive energy. Even if you cannot sleep,
still keep to your bed. There is no more
pestilent heresy that you should get up di
rectly when you are awake.
It is the early riser who catches the
worm, the worm is a great idiot in rising
still earlier in order to be caught. If you
do not get to sleep by laying in bed you
get rest. You secure the fallow
ground
that will hereafter produce a good harvest.
Sleep is of' course the proper employment
for bed, but if you don't sleep you can lie
still and read. I don't believe that the
man who gets up earlly learns or does more
than than the man who lies in bed. If,
for a moment, the writer may be egotisti
cal, some of' the hardest work he has ever
done has been from the early dawn till af
ter breakfast in bed. Of all sleep in the
world there is none so good as what you
get, in the way of treasure-trove, after the
usual time of' waking, when, in point of
fact, you have given up the expectation of
getting any more sleep. • As for "being
called," as the saying goes, that is simply
a relic of the barbarism of our ancestors.
I should quarrel with any man who pre
sumed "to call" me. One of the main
beauties of an occasional day in bed is that
you get an extra stock of sleep, which
goes to the credit side of your sanitary ac
count.

Wealth Under Water.
In ISIS, when Spain was exerting all
her powers to suppress the revolution in
Venezuela. the 1,000-ton line-of-battle ship
San Pedro .Alcantara was dispatched from
the mother country, laden
. with ammuni
tion of war and treasure to pay the army
in Venezuela and the navy on the Spanish
main. She had on board, as proven by
the records preserved in the State archives
in Madrid, $2,000,000 in gold coin pack
ed in iron chests and $3,000.000 in silver
packed in wooden chests. When the ves.
tcl arrived off La Guayra the insurgent
forces were threatening Caraccas, and the
frightened merchants and clergy, fearing
a sack of the city, hastened to place their
wealth in the treasure hold of the San
Pedro Alcantara for safekeeping. Bullion,
church ornaments, and jewels, roughly es
timated at $1,000,000, were thus added to
the riches already abroad. The San Pedro
Albantara sailed from La Guayra to off
the southern coast of the Island of Mar•
garita, where she anchored between Cache
and Cubagua, small islands to the south
of Margarita. During a revel among the
sailors a fire was started by the upturning
of a bowl of blazing punch, the flames
communicating with a barrel of brandy.
It is said the dry wooden vessel was speed•
ily enveloped, and the fire soon became
uncontrollable until it reached the powder
magazine, when a terrible explosion took
place, shattering to fragments the atter
half of the vessel, scattering far and wide
over the waters the wealth of her treasure
hold, and sacrificing the lives of 700 out
1.000 men. All the foregoing is a matter
history, established by undoubted authori
ty; that remaining to be stated is a mat•
ter of knowledge to living witnesses. In
1854 a company in Baltimore undertook
to recover the treasure. They worked
three months on the wreck of' the forward
half of the vessel, and recovered about
$2.000 in coin ; the coin found there was
only scattered silver dollars, stuck into the
wood work by the force of the explosion.
Owing to the slow progress in recovering
any of the treasure, many cencerned in
the expedition became dissatisfied with the
way by which the wreck was worked.
Thomas 11. Follingsby, one of the divers,
advanced a theory to the Superintendent
that the force of the explosion bad thrown
almost everything on the vessel aft; other
divers concided with him in his opinion.
After changing the location of the schoon
er from which they worked a diving bell
to the place indicated by Follingsby, they
succeeded after six month's work, in re
covering about $200,000 in silver coin.
However, much more was recovered, as
the divers secreted about themselves large
sums of money. They also found jewels
of which they rendered no account. One
man, in particular. picked up a diamond
cross, which was subsequently sold in New
York for 813.000. Several of the divers
finally stole the longboat and, fled to La
Guayra; they were, however, pursued and
arrested, but as they had counter claims
for percentage, and the manager of the
expedition was quite unpopular, the affair
was compromised and they were set free,
the expedition returning to Baltimore to
refit and set out the second time. Owing
again to difficulties between the Superin
tendent and his divers, the expedition was
compelled to return to Baltimore the sec
ond time and again refit. The third ex
pedition was equally unsuccessful. Owing
to a change in the Venezuelan govern.
ment, a suspicion of pretended distrust
and deception in the matter of royalty
were taken advantage of to annul the
grant. An expedition from Providence
took some $30.000, but was believed to be
dishonestly managed and brought up in a
rew. Another small expedition got $lB,-
000. Several attempts have been made
since by incompetent and insufficient ex
peditions, all of which have got money ;
but, owing to various circumstances, have
only been measurably successful, having
been stopped by incompetency ar avari
cious dishonesty. The latest was sent out
by a well known New York capitalist in
1878. It failed, however, through the
incompetency of the Captain. The grant
for exclusive working of the ground, for a
term of six years, is now held by Mr. Fol
lingsby, the diver before mentioned as di
recting the movement in 1864. which led
to the recovery of $300,000. The ground
to be worked is about two and a half miles
from shore, in an almost land-locked road
stead ; the water is from fifty to sixty feet
deep ; the bottom is sand, from fourteen
to thirty inches deep; at both ends of the
stead there is very deep water, preventing,
therefore, any accumulation of sand in the
roadstead. The current is never more than
two knots, which render it an easy matter
to work at the wreck the whole year. It is
proposed to dredge the entire bottom fur
a sufficient radius to take up everything
thrown out by the explosion. Drudges
taking twenty-four square feet at each dip
have been tried and work well. Experts
contend that the iron chests -containing
the gold have afforded a solid break by
the explosion's force, and have consequent
ly been thrown far off; while the silver
hurled from the burst boxes came down
in a shower within a narrow radius, which
accounts for the fact that only siver have
been recovered. The last expedition, un
der Capt. Post, of the brig Gypsy, was
compelted to return to the United States,
as all employed suffered from the heat and
bad drinking water taken aboard at the
island of Margarita, so that work was im
possible, and it may be said that the Cap
tain was the only one who escaped any
To Attain Long Life.
He who strives after a long and pleas
ant term of life must seek to attain con
tinual equanimity, and carefully to avoid
everything which too violently taxes his
feelings. Nothing more quickly consumes
the vigor of life than the violence of the
emotions of the mind. We know that sox
ity and care can destroy the healthiest
body ; we know that fright and fear, yes,
excess of joy, become deadly. Thos3 who
are naturally cool and of a quiet tarn of
mind, upon whom nothing can make too
powerful an impression, and who are not
wont to be excited either by great sorrow
or great joy, have the best chance of liv
ing long and happy after their manner.
Preserve, therefore, under all circumstan
ces, a composure of mind which no happi•
ness, no misfortune can too much disturb.
Love nothing too violently ; hate nothing
too passionately ; fear nothing too strongly.
PROBABLY most girls have felt so, but
few of them have ever bad the grace to
express it in this way : She frankly de
clared that the first time a coat sleeve en
circled her waist, she seemed to be in a
pavillion built of rainbows, the window
sills of which were composed of siioliatt
harps.
