" The Sea of Galilee. .
The Sea of Galilee, the Soa of Tibe
rial, or Luke of Geucsarcth. ia a aLnat
of water formed by the expansion of
mo uou oi joruan. it w about twolve
and a quarter miles long from north
to south, and at lis broadest part six
and tbroe-qtiarter miles from east to
west. But its width is by no means
regular, its sbap being that of a pear
or leg of mutton, the broadest part
toward the north, and the moro uro-
jooling sido toward the west, the east
ern sboro Doing urcompanson straight,
except near tho lower end. It is full
of fish. Its waters, thiok and muddy
at the extreme north, become clear
and bright as they approach Its nur
row end ; for Jordun, y, bicb flows into
it a foul stream, leaves the lake a pure
and swcot rivor. The snrlace is from
six hundred to seven hundred feet bo
low the level of the Mediterranean.
The climate is genial in winter, and
not excessively hot in summor. With
shores that riso but gently, in most
parts, from the basin, and whose color
is uniformly brown whoro seen above
tho foliago at tboir bases, the scenery
would bo tame wore it not for the fine
hills, including the snowy tops ol
Ilermon, which can be seen all round
through the transparent ether, and
for tho innumerable effects of light
and sbado. Shrubs and blossoms add
to the beauty of tho coasts, which
tary continually, being sometimes
hnrtknd bv broad nlains. nhowinf at
others the opening of longgerges, and
elsewhere, especially to the north, bo
ing broken into many and charming
bays. Volcanic action seems to bo en
ergetic; tliaro are hot springs In tho
basin of tho lake, and very serious
earthquakes occur. Wild hour are to
be iound on a plain to tho northeast.
. Those who have formed a mental
picture of this sea so often recurring
in sacred story as who in cliidlioo.d
has Dot have no doubt imagined a
water covorcd with ships and boats,
resounding with the noise of sailors
and fishermen, and flanked by many
proud cities, ricb in merchandise and
glorious to the sight. Alas, fortheso
visions 1 The cities, and the men, and
the' traffic tccre thoro, but they have
nuw disappeared so completely that
the waters of tho lake may be snid to
slocp amid a soliludo. As for tho fa
mous cities, oi most ot tuem it cannot
be said with corlainty whero they
woro, and the survey now in program
first begins to give us some reliable
data" for identifying their ruins; one
or two remain, but not as cities: small,
dirty Arab villages alone represent
thoeo busy towns, wnorein wero done
"mighty works," such as would bavo
overcome, the obduracy of Tvre and
Sidon. Tiberius is there on tho west
coast, rather below Iho center of the
lake. Its sea witll,' brokon columns,
lowers and acqueducts attost the glory
of its ancient oslate: but the modern
Tiberias is but a poor collection of
houses, chiefly inhabited by Juws who
bare returned to Palestine. It filth
and' vermin have becomo a provorb.
About four utiles north of this, a It pap

PRINCIPLES,
CLEARFIELD, PA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18, 1873.
A Simple Btory. J
Tho simple story of Jobr) jielTernan
teaches us that honesty atd patienco
aro sure to be nwarded, more forcibly
than that great moral lesson could' be.
impressed on our miuds by a didactical
uiscourso. i 1 e ) " ; ,
' John Heflernan was a boy when bo
ontered the oatublisbmont of Messrs.
Goldsticks k Moneybags, but h bro'U
wun rtim A cortilicate irom his Sunday
school teachir, saying that Le was ao
honeat lad, who could loam more
verses and forget them quicker than
any other toy in tbe class. ' 11 is em
ployers were obliged to test his hon
esty In various ways, but he stood the
teat nobly... .. ' .. ..i.; 'J V';.,.,;.,!
When Mr. Moneybags saw bim pick
up a pin from the floor ho was sweep
ing, bo thought that John mljht be
guilty of taking things, and dropped
a ton cent shin plaster in tbo sumo
place, but John honestly swept it Out
without notioingitand brushed it into
a ooroer, where be could pick it up at
bis leisure. Then Mr. Moneybags
overpaid him his weekly stipend by
tbo amount of $1, and waited to ace
what the boy would do. At tbe dead
hour of night the Moneybags house
hold was aroused by the furious ring
ing of the bell. The old gentleman
put on his dressing gown and descend
ed to the door, where he found John
lloffurnan with tear in-his eve and
a dollar bill in his right band. John
declared that he eould nob rest in his
virtuous couch, after discovering the
mistake, until it was rectified.'
"Why didn't you keep it?" asked
Mr. Moneybags. "I would not have
known that I had overpaid you." "
"Keen it!" exolaimcd John. "Little
do you know of the precept that were
instilled in my youthful breast by my
sainted grandmother. But I confess
tho temptation was a strong one. 1
wo saving money to buy a Bible for
my widowed mother, and had accu
mulated the sum of fifteen cents. .With
thid) dollar I could have completed tho
purchase, and I admit that I looked al
it with longing eyes. But honesty
triumphed over temptation, and virtue
is its own reward."
'Keep the dollar foryour honesty,"
said tho benevolent old irenllcman.
"Buy your Bible, and bo happy. I
wouiu bsbt you to marry my Uuughlor
and take you into partnership in the
usual way; but il happens that mv
daughters are all sons, and you must
excuse mo lor me presont. '
John went home with his heart swell
ing with the consciousness of havinir
done bia duly und made a dollar. Tbo
next day he invested that dollar in a
ohuckaluclt outfit of tho bniirhtod
young bootlien in tbo next alley.
cd to a uesk", and a rive dollar bill was
once temptingly placed within his
reach; but John was secure in his hon
esty, and wasn't certain that the bill
Wa a good one. J ben bo was put in
cbargo of the bank deposits, and his
character fur honesty was established
Une day when bo was going to the
bank, ho looked at tho ticket as usual,
and discovered that he was tho bearer
of 15,000 in currency. JIo thon felt
that Iho timo had come for honesty
end patience to bo rewarded, and be
stuffed tbo bills in his pocket and took
the first train for the wtst. lie Is now
one of tho most prominent residents
of tho Pauiilo slope, where he has al
ready bought a country-seat on tbo
coast, and oxpeots to buy a sent in the
Senate. But he still preserves the
cbuckaluck outfit that gave him a start
in life, and points with pride to the
cank ticket, which proves to hid chil
dren that virtuo is it own reward.

Why Annt Sallie Never Married.
"Now, Aunt Sallie, do please tell us
why you never got married. You re.
member you said onco that whan you
wore a girl you were engaged to a
minister, und promised us you would
tell ns about itsorao time, !N jw,aunt,
pleaso loll us."
"Well, you see, when I was abont
stwontccn years old I was living in
Utica, in Ibo Slalo ol INow ork.
Though I say it myself, I was quito a
good looking girl then, and had sev
eral beaux. Tho one that took my
fancy wu a young minister, a very
promising young man, and romarku
bly pious and steady. ' llo tbouirbt a
good dual of rue, and I kind of look a
fancy to him, and things went on until
wo wero engaged. Ono evening ho
camo lo mc, and put bis arms around
mo and kind ot hugged mo, wbeu I
got excited and some fluslratod. Il
wae a lonir timo ago, and i don I know
but what I plight have hugged back a
little. 1 was like any other girl, and
prelty soon I pretended to be mad at
it, and pushed him away, though I
wasn't mad u bit. You must know
the house where I lived was in one of
the back streets of the town. Thoro
were glass doors in tho parlor which
oMncd over tbe streot. These doors
were drawn lo. I steppod back a little
from him, and when bo camo up close
I pushed In in back again. 1 pushed
him harder than I intended to; and
don't you think, girls, the poor fellow
lost his baluuco und fell through ono
ot Iho giuss doors Into the streot."
"Uh. nnntyi Was ho killed V
"No: ho fell head first, and as he
wae going I caught him by tbo legs of
his trousers. 1 held on lor a moment
nnd triod to pull him back, but his
suspenders gavo way, and tho poor
young man loll clour out ol his panta
loons into a parcel of Indies and gen
tlemen along the street, lbs moment
he touched the ground he got up and
loll that place in a lorriblo hurry. 1
tell you il was a sight to bo remem
bered. How that man did run I lie
wont out wbet, and 1 bolieve he is now

s Overwork'
A Sensible Protest.
i A great amount of very pernicious
twaddle has lately been published on
tbe subject ol tbe alleged overwork in
which many ol the createst. and nos-
libly iomo of tbo least, men of the
present generation indulgo, in tbe Pur
suit either of woallh and famo, or high
social position. Work is divino.
Without work, human life would be
iVilolerablo, and man would be littlo
olse than a sponge, an oyster, or a
limpet upon the rock, which, only ex
ists to imbibe the nourishment that
they aro loo imbocilo or too powerless
tb fceek. But liko all tbo abundant
blessings spread around mankind,
oik is only hoautliu! and good in tta
degree: lb muot be used, and not
abused. ., Too much of anything ia
not good for ui. Vice itself is but
virtuo degenerated and dissipatod by
being forced into exlromes.- In liko
raannor, work, it not carried beyond
the point at which all the functions of
mind and body are exorcised without
undue atrain upon either, ia one of the
greatest, if not tbo very greatest of all
tbe blessings that are showered npon
tbo human raco. There is fur too
great a disposition in all countries to
look upon labor as something inflicted
upon man as a curse for his disobodi-
enco, to interpret literally, and not
according lo tbo spirit, tho penalty
laid npon Adam, and lo tako advant
age of the misintorprotaliona. to shirk
lubor altogether, or to impose il un
duly 0on the weaker.. This doctrine
requires not only discouragement, but
disproof; for the-inevitable rosult of
Us adoption would be either to reduce
men to tho stuto of savages, when the
only labor undertaken would be that
of tbo chase ot wild animals or lbs
capture of birds and fish to provide
food for the sustenance oi liie, or the
establishment of slavery, when nono
but slave would work upon the com
pulsion of their lord and master.
But work, looked unoo wilb the eye
of reason, is tho choicest advantage oi
our mortal stato, the only moiivo
power that keeps not only men, but
the solar system and all the counllcss
orbs of the boundless universe of God,
in a condition ol beaithy and progres
sive perpetuity.
The Monarch of the Sea.
According to Capluin Soorosby's es-
limnto, a whale sixty feet in length
will woigh seventy tons, or as much
us three hundred fat oxen, whilo the
oil tuken from it will be about thirty
tons. It is a common snying among
whalemen that it requires thirty fath
om of water for a three hundred bar
relcr to swim in. .
Tbe flukes Of the right whulo are at
fenco aro Jjy fur the most efficient
weapon the animal possesses, sending
a whale-boat and its crow full thirty
foct into mid air, and often killiny
many of the mon. These flukes are
not placed vertically, as in other fish
but transversely, and parallel to the
surface of tho water ; so that whales
bavo oeen Known to swim on at the
ralo of a niilo an hour after death, the
onward movement being caused by
tho waves giving to the flukes an al
most life-like propulsion. Tho point
of junction between Hie flukes and the
muin body of tho animal is cxlremoly
small, and tbe tendons at Ibis part
are easily severed with a spado.
Tbe bead, from which tho whale
bone la obtained, is a most singular
slrucluro, and nicely adapted to tho
ti so of the cetacean. In shape it has
heon compared and very appropriately,
lo a ronnd-tood flat soled shoe with
straight sldos. Tho lowor jaw Is from
eight to ten feet wide where it unites
with Iho body, but becomes smaller
toward the extremity, resembling,
when cleaned of the flesh, a bluntly
pointed arch aboutseven feet in length.
The skull or crown bono, whiob serves
as tho upper jaw, is a single bone,
slightly rounded on tho top, and four
or five feet wide at the hock, bnt also
smaller al Ihe-extrcmily. It is to
this bone that lh slabs or whabis
usually termed tho whalobono lire fas
tened. They are in- pieces of from
two to ten feet in length, about twolve
inches wido at tho lop, tapering down
gently nnd curving inward, till ut the
lower end they aro moro points.
I he pioces radiato edgeways, Irom
what may be called the ridgo polo of
the roof of tho mouth, about a quarter
of an inch in tbicknes nnd bulf an
inch apart. '
Dipping the Hand into Molten Iron.
Tbo thing has been done over and
orar ;ftin. observed Pr. Citrpcnlor in
a recent lecturo that a man hits gone
and hold hi hand in such a stream of
molton iron, and has dono it without
Iho least injury t all that Is required
being to have bia hand mbiat, and if
his hand is dry, he has morely to dip
it In water, and ho may hold hi hand
for a certain timo in "that' si ream of
molten Iron without receiving any In
jury whatever; This wsb exhibited

NEW
,;i The Mormon Bible. ,
I find in my scrap-book, sot down
tbero thirty years ago, an itom which
may b of intorest at the present time,
whon tho Mormom problem is ovl
donlly approaching a civilized solu
tion. The truth of tho atatemont
heroin given was vouohed for in my
preseuco by a man who was above
doceit. The origin of tho "Book of
Mormon," so called, has been a puzr.lo
to many, much of it "being ovidonlly
tbe produclion of a cultivated mind,
and yet springing to right from the
hands ol illiloralu mon.
It was written, in 1812-13, as a lit
erary recreation, by Kov. Holomon
Hpuulding, a graduate- of Dartmouth
Collosd, af lhat lima residing in New
Salem, Ohio; and, as bo wrote it, il
professed to be a historical romance
of a lost raco, the remains of whose
numerous mounds and inscriptions
are iound on the banks of tho Ohio.
After the work had been comploted
the author had thoughts ol having it
printed, nnd for that porposo he gave
the manuscript into tbe hands of a
winter, In whose oflice it remained
or several yoars, but the design of
printing was not carried into execu
tion. As foreman in tho printing
office whoro Mr. Spaulding's romance
was lodged was employed Sidney Jtig-
don, who afterward figured conspicu
ously in Mormon history ; aud there
la no doubt that be copied tho manu
script and subsequently gave it to
Smith. Upon the appearance of the
Book of Mormon, iu 1830, there wore
those living to whom Mr. Spaulding
bad read part ot his romance, and
they recognized bi verbingo in tb
book. Upon search the original man
uscript was found among the papers
of the deceased clergyman, and on
comparison the Mormon tsible proved
to have been not materially altered
from Ibis parent text. Of oourse the
discovery soon mado considerable talk.
A groat many people went to see the
manuscript, and at the expiration of
a few wouks it mysteriously disap-
pcarou. as moro was a Mormon
prcuchcr in New Sulum at the time,
with proselytes at his hucis, tbe mys
lory of tho disappearance was not
vory deep. . f, .
Cameos. Rome is now the chief
scat of the art oi cameo culling, two
of which are produced thoso cut in
hard stone and those cut in shells.
Tho stone most valuable for this pur
pose are the oriental onyx and tho
sand-onyx, provided tbey have two
ditlurcnt color In parallel luyors.
Tho valuo of tho stone is groslly in-.
creasod for this purposo if il has four
or five diiTcrenl colors in parallel lav-
are ir llirt inrnrn aro an nun ag 10 uS-
sist in making the device of tbo uamuo.
ror example, a specimen of stone,
which ha four purullcl layers, may
bo useful for a cameo of Minerva,
whoro the ground would be a dark
gray, the fuoe light, the bust and hoi-
met black, aud tho crest over the hoi
met brown or gray. All such cameos
are wrought by a lapidary's lathe wilb
pointed instruments ol steel, and by
moans of diamond dutt. Shell camoos
aro cut from large sholls found on the
African and liruziliun coasts, and gen
erally show two layers, one whito and
the other a palo coiluo color or deep
rod oraugo. Tho subject is cul with
small steel shiscls out of tho white-
portion of tho sholl. Stones adapted
for cameo cutting are dense, thick,
and consist usually of three layers of
dinerent colored shell material.

according to the Commissioner' ro
