An • we bend the car to listen,
Whirst than,• tones conic swoeplng by ;
And the gathering tear drop; glisten,
Heaves the bosom With a sigh.
Voices of the clear departed,
Who have Journeyed hand in band
With us through this vale of sorrow,
And have reached the bettor laud.
A nil we leel that all these heart Ilnle9,
From life's golden chain were riven,
lint to strengthen the bright cable
Leading from this earth to Heaven.
Rifled from our earth's horizon ;
Called from sorrow,care and sin ;
Leaving little vacant Places,
But to let God'sglory lii :
And the sound comes sad but softened
Wallina through life's dreary blast,
Voices ever dear to raem'ry,
Sounding from the dreamy past.
In the past sounds glad, light voices
Of the dear ones gone before,
Who have crossed the gloomy river,
And are waiting on the shore.
Walling, till the veil is lifted
Which conceals the better land,
And unto the heavenly City
We inay jou racy hand in hand.
Soon shall come the joyous meeting
With the hearts unburied dead,
They, who in lire's sunny morning,
From our side Lave upward lied.
'Till shall dawn that day Immortal,
Let us trusting, 'watch and wait,
They have passed the golden Portal

DEATH AT THE OCEAN BOTTOM
Discovery of a Buried Torpedo Boat off Char
leston—Nine Skeletons at the Wheel—A
Dead Captain with a Candle in his Hand—Re
markable Career of a 'Remarkable Craft.
In 1564 the fleet of Admiral Farragut
was blockading Mobile,while a heavy land
and naval attack was directed against
Charleston. During our long defensive
war a great deal of ingenuity had been
expended by the Confederates upon torpe
does and torpedo boats. The most remark
able of these boats was constructed in
Mobile by Messrs. 11.undly & MeClintoel: ,
and launched in 1864; and nothing which
has gone down into the sea was more
wonderfully or more fearfully contrived
to wreak destruction and vengeance upon
friend and foe. She was built of boiler
iron, and impervious to water orair. ller
extreme length was about thirty feet,with
five or six feet beam, and about five or six
feet depth of hole. In general contour
she resembled a cigar, sharp at both ends.
She was propelled by a screw, the shaft of
which ran horizontally along her hold,
almost from stern to stern, and was turn
ed by the manual force of eight memseat
ed along it on either side. 'The only hatch
way was circular, about two feet in di
' ameter, with tr- , low com'bing- around, it,
which was placed well forward, and when
desired could be closed by an iron cap
working on hinges and made air-tight.
In the forward part of this cap WaS in
serted a clear glass bull's eye, through
which the pilot could see. She was pro
vided with water-tight compartments, by
filling or emptying which she would sink
or rise, and to enable her to rise instantly
her ballasting of railroad bars was placed
on her bottom, outside of her hull, and
means of keys accessible to her crew
could be detached in a moment, so that
she would rise quickly to the surface.
Besides the rudder, which was of the usu
al form, this vessel was equipped with side
paddles or fins, which like those of a fish,
served to guide it up or down with refer
euce to the surface of the water. To pre
pare for action a floating torpedo was se
cured to her stern by a line more than one
hundred feet long, and her crew having
embarked, the water tanks were filled
until the boat was in equilibelo and al
most submerged.
The hatchway was closed, the men re
volved the shaft, the captain or pilot,
standing under the hatch, steered the
boat, regulating at the same time, by the
action of her lateral fins, the depth at
which she should move. Her greatest
speed did not exceed four knots. She
could remain submereged for half an
hour or an hour, without any great incon
venience to her crew, and on one occasion
has been known to remain under two
hours without any actual injury to them,
although no means were provided for pro
curing fresh air, and from the moment
the hatch was closed the meu thus fasten
ed to their living tomb inhaled and ex
hausted continously the atmosphere
which was inclosed with them. The plan
of attack proposed by the inventors was
to dive beneath the keel of an
enemy's ship, hauling, the torpedo after
her. Its triggers or sensative printers
would thus press against the ship's but-
tom, explode the torpedo and inevitably
sink the ship.
Not anticipating .in early opportunity of
using this dangerous vessel against the
fleet of Farragut, Gen. Maury sent her by
rail to Gen. Beauregard at Charleston,
believing the waters of that harbor bet
ter suited to her peculiar construction,
while in the Ironsides, or some other gi
gantic war ship then attacking Charles
ton, might be found an object worth the•
great risk to which her own crew was ex
posed in any enterprise they might under
take. Gen. Beauregard changed the ar
rangement of the torpedo by fastening it
to the bow. Its front was terminated by
a sharp and barbed lance-head, so that
when the boat was driven end on against
a ship's sides, the lance-head would be
forced deep into the timbers, below the
water line, and would fasten the torpedo
firmly against the ship! Then the torpedo
boat would back off and explode it by a
landyard. Gen. Beauregard's call upon
the Confederate fleet for volunteers to
man this dangerous craft was promptly
answered by Lieut. Payne, a Virginian,
and eight sailors, They were soon ready
for action, and on the evening set for
their expedition, the last preparation had
been made. The torpedo boat was lying
along side the steamer for which the crew
had embarked ; she was submerged till
the combing of her hatch alone was visi
ble above the water. Her commander,
Payne, was standing in the hatchway, in
the act of ordering her to be cast off,
when the swell of a passing steamer roll
ed over her and sunk her instantly, with
her eight men, in several fathoms of
water. Lieut. Payne sprang out of the
hatchway as the boat sank from under
him, and he alone was left ❑live. In a
few days she was raisd and again made
ready for service. Again Payne volun
teered, and eight men with him.
The embarkation for their second at
tempt was made from Fort Sumter, and
as before all having been made ready,
Payne, standing at his post in the hatch
way, ordered the hawser to be cast off--
when the boat careened and sank instant
ly. Payne sprang out ; two of the men
followed him ; the other six went down
in the boat and perished. Again the boat
was raised and made ready for action,
and her owner, Capt. Ifundley, took her
for an experiment trip into time Stone
river, where, after going through her
usual evolutions, she dived in deep water,
and for hours, and for days the return of
poor Mindley and his crew was watched
t‘t;r and looked for in vain. After near a
week's search she was found inclining at
an angle of forty degrees ; her nozzle was
driven deep into the soft mud at the bot
tom. Her crew of nine dead men were
standing, sitting, lying about her hold
asphyxiated. Mindley was standing dead
at his post, a candle in one hand, while
the other had grown stiff with death in
his vain eflorts to unclamp the hatch.
Others had been working at the keys of
the ballast. but the inclination at which
the boat had gone down had jammed the
keys so that the men conhl not cast off
the heavy weight which held them down.
Their deaths had been hard and lingering.
Again this fearful vessel was made
ready for action, and volunteers being
called for, Lieut. Dixon, of the twenty
first Alabama volunteers, a native of Mo
bile, and eight men volunteered to take
her against the enemy. The new and
powerful war ship Housatonic was se
lected for attack, and on a quiet night.as
brave a crew set out from Charleston in
this terrible, nameless torpedo boat as
ever manned craft before.
We all knew the fate of the fousat on
ic. Wave Dixon guided the torpedo
fairly against her. the explosion tore up
the great war ship's sides, so that she
want down with nearly all her crew with
in two minutes. The torpedo vessel also
disappeared forever from mortal v iew.—
Whether she went down with her enemy,
or whether she drifted out to the sea to
bury her gallant dead, was never known.
and their fate was left till the great day
when the sea shall give up its dead. lint
within a few weeks past divers in subma
rine armor have visited the wreck of the
Housatonic, and they have found the lit
tle vessel lying by her huge victim. and
with her are the bones of the most de
voted and daring men who ever went to
war.

The Palace of the Tuilieries
The Turneries, having long been the
principal imperial palace in Paris, has
always been a place of great interest to
the public. Queens have lived within its
lltagliitleent apartments, mobs have riot

held their revels within them. Its walls
have echoed back the mush. of laughter

they have gone and their imperiai retinue
has gone with them. The French
Court has been scattered before the an
ger of another revolution. Now, in place
of court ladies and gentlemen, citizens
sans cullottes roam through the apart
ments of the palace at their will. But
no wonder that the palace of the Tuil
levies has such a varied history. It was
built by Catharine de Medicis, tyhose

she once gives herself over to sin. ()vet..
three hundred Sears have elapsed since
she began this famous palace, and dining
that time the most startling and terrible
transactions have 'transpired within its
walls, but none of them can equal the
infernal coolness with which Catharine

were laid, which was allegorical of the
horrible massacre on St. Brtholomew's

IT is An old quip upon women that they
cannot keep secrets; but the fact is. that
they are the only part of humanity that
can. A wife keeps a husband's secret in
compa raldy safer than he does hers. We
calculate that there is one drunken wife
to about four hundred and ninety nine
drunken husbands. In gambling, licen
tiousness, lying. cheating, hypocrisy and
covetousness. there is pretty much the
same proportion. Yet of the four hundred
and ninety nine wives, four hundred con
ceal. cover up, silently endure the terrible
secret. while the outs husband mourns
over his wife's frailty in the study of his
pa,tor, or to the ear of his friend, and
probably complains of it to a court of law .
It is the same between brother and sister.
The secrets a woman talks about are of
the kind that are unimportant and mostly
agreeable to hear. lint of serious secrets
she is reticent as the grave. That is our
observation, and in our various relations
of physician. minister and unordained
lawyer. we have had room for a great
deal of observation.—Boltimore Chrinfaa
