Some tale of magic or enchant
ment from the ntimerons list of the
Island's traditions, would seem not
inappropriate to any chapter upon
Mona. As illustrative of a prevail
ing superstition of its' people, I give
the following, for which credit is due
to a writer of the Island :
I ZEI
THE ENCHANTED PALACE. .
"In the days of enchantment, a
celebrated magician ' erected in the .
Isle of Man the most magnificent
palace'sevet beheld s bnt it, was solely
inhabited by infernal spirits. Every
mortal Who .happened to venture
within its portals was instantly con
verted into stone. This- spread -such
terror, 4 that the . itsauntry for many
miles around became desolate: One
evening, after dusk, it happened that
a poor man, looking for charity, was
traveling on that side of the Island.
He hid never heard of the enchanter:
Seeing no place where he might ob
tain lodgings for the night, he
:wan
dered about a usiderable time, un
til at length he camei in sight of the
palace, which se before him in all
ite s splendor; bat not presuming to
enter within its doors, lest he should
be turned out again ally some churl
ish laequey, he sat .down under one
of the large piazzas by ' which the
-magnificent edifice was surrounded.
Being-hungry, he took some bread
and meat, with a little salt, out of
his pocket, to eat; but a will por
tion of the, salt having accidentally
fallen to the ground, instantly terrific
groans issued from the earth, a
dreadful- hurricane arose, lightning.
flashed around, and thunder rattled
over his head. The gorgeous palace
witle its lofty porticoes and brazen•
doors vanished ' , and the mendicant
found himself in the midst of a bar
ren Waste.* When he communicated
this wonderful adventure., to tho in
habitants of the neighboring village,
they refused &believe him; till, har
ing gone to the spot where . the pal
ace of the necromancer stocst they.
were convinced of the truth of the
beggap's statement, and all united in
prayers and thanksgivings for so
great a deliverance. It appeared eyi
dent from the mendicant's story,
that the silt ;which had been spilt
upon the ground had occasioned the
dissolution of the enchanter's palace.
For this reason, sal, - has since been
held in such high estimation with
the Mani people, that no person will
go out to transact business without
taking some in his pocket. Many
will neither put one a child, nor take
in one to nurse, without salt being •
'mutually exchanged. Should any
person ask the meaning of this Vene
ration for salt, he will be told the
above story; by doubting which he
will incur the •censure of the inhabi
tants of the Island as a very profane
individual.'l -
On the 18t1 July, I took passage
'from :Douglas to Liverpool, a_ dis
tance of 75 miles, by the Snai'h'll, one
of the . daily - line of steamers. The
packets flying between the several
ports of the United iliingdom, as
well as those crossing the Channel
to France, though generally siauncia,
well built and well officered, are very
far inferior in point of elegance and
accommodatiens: to those upon our
American waters; the difference in
fact being about the same as between
an emigraht and a palace car upon
our railways. '
• The rains had subsided, and the
weather was clear:; but high winds
and rough breezes still prevailed as
we - passed out into the Irish Sea.
Occasionally, a tremulous billow
would' dash over the, high bulwarks,
pouring its torrent upon such of the
passeigers as chanced to he Upon
the decks, thus adding a new discom
fort to the misery of the seasick - of
whom there were many. Like oil
upon the troubled waters, however;
seemed the assiduous attentions of a
kind old Qcsnen and his lady, -wha
during the voyage were continually
engaged in distributing , biscuits and
warm tea s and otherwise ministering,
in -Good l3amaritan fashion, to the
relief of the sufferers. It Was one of
the occasions on which a sea-going
individual may well be thankful for
the lack of any Undue sensibility of
the digestive apparatus. For my
own part it was quite -as much by
good fortul.e as by good manage
_ ment, that I escaped during the voy
age, both sea-sickness and shower
bath. . , s
Approaching the coast of Lanca
shire and entering the Mersey, I was

Near the entrance of the river is Nsw
BRIGHTON, a popular place of resort
in the summer iseason from the city
of Liverpool. The Mersey forms the
boundary line bet seen , the counties
of Lancashire and Cheshire; and is
for nearly 20 miles rather a bay than
i a river : it beine , * at Liverpool (which
is several miles from the sea) about
a mile in width across to Birkenhead
on the opposite ,and - western shore,
While farther tip, it widens still more.
From the sea-coast to ,the city, the
-course of the channel is nearly south.
Steaming onward, - we were soon sur- '
rounded by the ships and flags of. ill
nations in the capacious harbor and
amid the splendid docks of this great,
commercial port, whose foreign trade
must exceed that of any other in the
world—a large and- important

Erwroa : Year _readers may
not' recollect the long list -Of' vices
that are enumerated in The Epistle
of Paul, the Apostle, to the Romana,"_
wbich: tbe Gentile nations, were
charged with committing; and amolig
the vices, that: of being -disobedient
to parents is inelnded.
When we.coll to mind this vice, we
discover that it occupies a position
from which ail other vices that the
human family are guilty of; mast pro
ceed.
Whatever-may be'said in reference
to our "hereditary depravity," still
this rice is the first perceptible indi
cation,and needs a constant over
sight to prevent its becoming a Set
tled habit in, a child to despise the
government of parents.
In looking-over the long black
of crimes-that have been publish — id
to the world, it is questionable whe
ther any can ho found who were not
more or less disobedient' to patents.
and' it may be taken for granted,
without further proof, that et/ pa
rents who deSired the, ;welfare of
their children, and - the good of soci
ety, strove to restrains their children;
yet, stranao as it may !Treat', to often
indulge their children so far as to
suffer them to contract habits. until
they ai'o prepared to commit the
most revolting crimes. If this is not
so, why hare we seen honored fath'ers
clothed in shame, and virtnous+o
there drowned in tears. , -
The enquiry is, why. - are. .thse
thing's so, but for this 'reason • pa
rents have gone from-one extreme, to
the other—from the most rigid course
to that of the 'mostiminlgent.
Behind this is the , t..reitii)g cense:
the fasltions and ctWoms of the corm
' tri-, as it becomes older, - presenting
.continually the fascinating allure
`mute that are calculated in their na - -
ture to please both parents and chil
dren, and to lead , them before they
are aware, into forbidden paths, from
which it becomes difficult to extricate
themselves.
The idea of suffering our children
to attend places of amusement be
yond our control;•not knowing"where
they are, or under whose influence
they have fallen, is a thought that
should awaken every parent to a
sense of duty, as though their house
was on fire, Or some other' calamity
overshadowing them.
0 ye parenie! this is a work 'that

not your children to wrath, but bring
them up in the nurture and admom.

one united effort, and adopt the lan

OBSEIWER.
WORTH OF Fern PlNS.—There is, or
was, a Polish lady, the Countess of
K—, living in Paris. She wears a
very singular brooch or breast-pin.

on the ground of a dayk bine stone,
and covered by a glass in front is,
what do Sou Suppose ? A portrait ?
..N 4 o. A lock of hair? No. What
then ? Just 1 - ;,l;r,e6nuntm bent
together in fhe,shape.,:efa star ! .Why
does she wear such a singular -thing
las this ?- - Efer husband, a Polish no
bleman, was put in prison because
lie was thought to be a secret enemy
of the Government: lie was put in
to a dark, deep dungeon, far down
under the ground. He had no light.
He could not tell when it was day,
nor when it was night. Fie had no
one to speak to, for no One was al
lowed to go neariim but elle keeper
of the prison, and he was not allow
ed-to speak topirn. He hail nothing
to do; days, weeks, and months pass
ed, and be was still in his dungeon;
be was niot .bronght to trial: Poor
man F how miserable he was! He
thought he would loie his mind ; ,he
felt his reason beginning to give way.
Oh, if he only had something to do !
Feeling over his coat one day, he
found four pins, and he wept for joy.
But you say: "Four pins! And
what use *ere they; to him ?" Why,
be just took them from his- coat 'and
threw them on the floor of his dun
geon,.and then be went down on his
hands and knees, and felt all over
till he- found them. When he found
them, he scattered them on the floor
I again, and; could you have gone into
his dungeon, yon would have found
him on his hands argil-Aufees - groping
for his four pins. It was all his work.
And when, after Six years' iMprison
ment, his cell was opened to set him
at liberty, they found him groping ini
the dark for his pins, And be would
not leave his prison without taking
his four pins with hira. They were
his best friends because they had
given him something to do; and his
countess had them made up into a
breastpin, which she valued more
than gold. They bad preserved her
hrisband's reason. '

what confidence will resort to Lis

he is not spending strength in -vain,
that his labor will b sets arded by

THE BAGS TOWILLIIIE DIAMONDS.
The Vilune calls attention' to the

uncommon to see dianionthir what
purport tole such--irt the ears of
shop-girls,-or in the bosom-lrunts of

is that this &K at jellehl=nve

honest folks, pearls being worn in

Artificial dianionds are made of - it .

glass has a property, of refracting •
light in the same way as the diamond,
and its thanntacture has been carried
to such perfection that an ordinary
ohserver cannot distinguish gems - "
made of it from real dkimonds. After „
a' few years; these diamonds tend to
crystallize, so that :iit -ten years they
become turbid and kise all their lus
tie. Those - stones howeves' , can al
ways,be distinguis hed by a ' practical
lapidary by 'various tests, such: as
hardness and peculiarities in the ent-
Eng. Diamonds are also imitated by
a systein celled ‘‘ plockage," in which
a,very thin slab of diamond is' ce- _
inented to some stone,such as .quartz
or white topaz, when they are color- •
less, or Drily slightly colored, are
passed off as diamonds. It is gener
allz supposed -that diamonds are
white, but they die_ of all colors.

PRAYING ON rar. 31Ancn. - -It wait on
the day. of the battle of Bunker Hill,
that 17th of.June,nearly ninety years
ago , which we still celebrate in song
andspeech, with the doublelmusic
of the pealing bell and the thunder
ing cannon. The battle had already
begun. The first attack of the Brit- .
ish had 'been -repulsed; but, the bra - V(3
Prescott and Putnam were confident -
of h renewal of the conflict ; and - the
latter/had sent an urgent appeal to •,
the knierican camp at Cainbridge for
reinforcements to the devoted little .
band 'behind those breastworks ow
the hill. A few men were hastening
to Charlestown in obedience to the
summons: Life and death, perhaps
liberty, depetided on their'speed.

to say iluirahose three words with •

There is many.an old sayingeoncent- •
ing the value of knowledge, but it is
to be doubted if many pause to seri
ously weigh that value as every day
expressed in dollars and cents. It, •
would be 'well indeed; if, in addition
'to the usual decided, but indistinct
withal, idea' that culture is a good
thing, an equally true and more d•efi . -
nite notion 'was current of the money
value ofsdifferent degrees of •educa-,
tion, especially as relating to practi,--
cal business methods. For example,
we take the average wages of unskill
ed,operatives in New York City to
be about nine dollars per week. . A '
first-clhss workman- can command
twenty-four with r grester certainty of '
uninterrupted employment. The dif
ference between nine and twenty-four
is fifteen dollars per week, or seen
hundred and eightydollars a year,
*telt is more than the legal interest
on eleven thousand dollars. In other
words, the. 'operative who, by the -
study of hooka, and care in the per- .
formance of his duties, proves stile - .
to addltfteen dollars a' week - to his.
income, has gained knowledge, for
the use of which the world - will• pay
as s high.a pr'hmium as it will for' the
use of the money s , named... This re
flection is worthy of remembrance by
the thousands . of young men - in work- •
shops and factories who, with only
their unaided hands to build. their
future fortunes, are every
.pos
sessed of 'opportunities for acTuring
capital not less available 'than that
embodied in gold or 'greenbacks.--'-

HERE' is a curiosity for the young
sters to ponder over. Suppose a -
man and a girl were married, and
which is of 'coarse impossible --that,
at the time of the hymenial-contract,
'the - man was thirty-five years old
and the girl five; which makes the
man seven times as old as the girl.
They'live together until the girl is
ten years old—this makes him forty
years old, and four times as old: as
the girl; they live until she is fifteen,
theman forty-five--This maker the
man three times as old; they still live
until bhe is 'thirty years old—this
makes the man sixty, .only twice as
old. And now as we haven't time to
work it out, perhaps somebody wilt -
be kind enangh to tell us how long
, they would have to live to. make the .
I girl as old as the man..
