IHIj sound
of a bell depends, of
course, on
many dinerent circum
stances of condition. One of these is tho
metal of which the bell is composed
I lie mixcu mctais oi alloy illustrate in an
instructive way the differences of quality
which result from inherence in the pro
portion of ingredients. Copper and tin
produce tho metal bronze ; in other pro
portions they yield speculum ietal, for
waking the brilliantly white reflectors
of telescopes; whilo in other proportions,
again, they furnish bell-metal. The Chi
nese in their gongs, and the Europeans
in their bells, have seen reason to em
ploy pretty near the same kind of metal.
There is always much more copper than
tin ; but every

lell-uictal, though the most general, is
uot the only material for bells. Some
times a little lead, arseuic or zinc is
added to the copper and tin. It used to be
a favorite idea that silver thrown into the
melting turnace, improved tho tone oi
a bell. In casting the tenor-bell of La-
venham Church, the neighboring gentry,
after drinking of the toast of " Church
and King" out of silver tankards, threw
the tankards into the melting-pot. Sim
ilar bells have often been made of silver
iiloue, as if to justify, or to bo justified
by the allusion to " silvery tones." At
the Strawberry Hill ale in 1812, ono of
tho lots consisted of u very beautiful sil
ver bell made by Beiivenuto Cellini,
for l'opo Clement the Seventh : its ex
terior was chased or sculptured with a
profusion of lizi;ards, grass-hoppers, flies,
and other reptiles and insects; and its in
tended purpose was, by its silver sound to
drive away all obnoxious assemblages of
Buch creatures. Among the oddities of
this subject was the bequest of n silver
bell to the school at Wreay, in Sussex, by
Mr. Graham in 18'il. On an appointed
time evory year, two of the boys, who
had been chosen captains, were to Bally
forth, each followed by his partisans, dis
tinguished by blue and red ribbons, aud

match ; aud on tho result of this match
was to depend the honor of posessing the
silver bell for the next twelve months,
tho successful captain bearing it away
suspended from his hat. As for other
metals, besides copper, tin and B'lver, it
is known that steel and iron are occasion
ally used for church bells. Such bells
have been cost in Westphalia, at Shef
field, and at Dundyvan, near Glasgow.
Steel bells aro lighter and cheaper than
those of bell-metal, and yield n rich and
brilliant tone ; but the sound is said to be
unable to penetrate to a great distance.
Cast-iron, with the addition of a liitletin,
has been tried j but the alloy was far too
brittle. Glass bells, aud wooden bells,
are also talked about ; but we do not see
how the former could bear any hammer
ing or clapperin. nor how the latter could
yield a sound worth hearing. One of
the missionaries of 1'iji, however, has de
scribed a bell or sounding instrument
made from the hollowed trunk of a tree,
like a trough, and placed 'on a coil of
rope or some other elastic mess on tho
ground: when struck at one end with a
mallet, it gives out a stifled roar, which
we are told could be hcaid twelve miles
off.
Waning a Iict.
Sill GEOUGE BEAUMONT, when
a young mr.n, wr.s one day in the
Mount a famous Coffee-house in Mount
street, Gvosveuor Square with Harvey
Aston. Various persons were sc:ttcd at
different tables. Among others present,
there was an Irishman who was very cel
ebrated as a duellist, having killed at
least half-a-dozcn antagonist. Aslon,
talked to some of his acquaintances,
swore ihat he would make the duellist
stand bare-footed before them.
" You had better take care what you
say," they replied ; " he has his eye
upon you."
' No matter," rejoined Aston, " I de
clare again that he shall stand barefooted
before you if you will make up among
you a purse of fifty guineas."
They did so. Aston then said in a
loud voice, "I have been in Ireland, and
am well acquainted with the natives.
The Irishman was all ear. Aston
went on :
" J. ho insli being born in bos, are
every one of them web-fooied. I know
it for a fact."
" Sir," roared the duellist, storting up
troni ins table, " it is lalse !
Aston persisted in his assertion

Bo saying, in great naste lie pulled on
his shoes aud stockings, and displayed
his bare ieet. The joke ended in Ash
ton's sharing the purse between the Irish
man and himself, giving the former thirty
guineas, aud keeping twenty.
Sir George
assured that this was a true story
A Tooth Story.
ONCE upon a timo there was a young
' lady who had thrco pretty new
teeth in her mouth. She bought them
of a dentist, and they wc;e fastened to a'
beautiful patent vulcanized rubber plate.
This young lady could cat almost any
thing with her new teeth, and she felt
very proud of them. They were so use
ful, and looked so well when she smiled.
One day she was eating dinner just us
fast as she could, and she got choked with
a piece' of bone. Then she ran into the
woodshed and coughed until the tears
came into her eyes, and her father came
; out aud pounded her shoulders, and her
mother mado her drink a pint of water,
and finally, she got better ; but alas ! her
new teeth were gone. So, herself, and
her mother, and Tier two sisters, and her
i bis; brother, and tho servant girl, and the
neighbor's littlo boy looked all over the
woodshed for those teeth, but they could
not find them. Then the young lady
was scared, and she said to her mother :
" O mother, I felt something hard in my
throat when I drank that water, and I
have swallowed my teeth and I shall die
I know I shall die and what shall I
do 1" That scared the mother, and sho
. .1 11.11 1 .A
put tne youug laciy to bed and sent ior
tho doctor. Well the teeth nu'do her
very sick. You know how thin people
sometimes get fiom tho knawings of re
morse, aud of course, tho knawings of
of three patent porcelain teeth would bo
much worse. The doctor could do noth
ing and tho young lady kept getting
worse and worso until the doctor said she
could uot livo more than twenty-four
hours. That very day tho neighbor's
little boy found three teeth in Whe back
yard, where they had been thrown whilst
a i the young lady was coughing. He took
them them in and showed them to the
young lady, who said she felt a good deal
better, and got up and dressed. She is
well, now, but sue always takes out her
teeth before she goes to dinner.
Tlic Torpedo Explosion at Kiel.
AN cye-witncKS of this disaster has
written a description of the Bcene :
" Yesterday (August 11,) at 12 o'clock
mid d.'.y, I went on bor.rd tho
1 Elbe,'
small steamer, dclached to witness how
our people lay the torpedoes. Three ca
ble's length from the Btrand lies a pow
der barge, with 8,000 pounds of powder
on board. The torpedoes were enarged
upon it. The ' Elbe' ranged herself along
side. Cn the barge's deck lay fourteen
loaded torpedoci. Tho long boat which
had followed us, and was carried by four
teen hands laid herself along the other
side of the br.ige and commenced ship
ping tho torpedoes. After taking three
of them on board they were to start in
order lo sink them. I leaned upon the
boiler of tho steamboat and watched
them at work, not without a scc.ct shud
der at t';o carelessness wi;h which the
sailors hr.iidled the hellish machines.
There lay in a row, shining in the sun
Ir.cquercd iron boilers; upon each glisien
ed a wh'to T. Involuntarily I thought
to myself that must stand for ' Tod'
dei th. Two torpedoes were deposited in
the long boat, tho anchor was being rats
ed. Then runi out a fearful detonation :
our eves aud our faces were smothered
with a hot volume. I lelt a heavy stroke
on my left shoulder : I knew not what
had happened. I freed my eyesight and
looked round. I was standing in a rain
of fallin-r timber, iron, flesh and splinters
of bone ; then all wns quiet, bhuddcr
inar. I rubbed my face : it was coveied
with fragments of flesh, so were my
clothes ; my cap was sprinkled with them.
On the deck of tho ' Elbe lay countless
specks of flesh and bone splintei ings ;
alongside, burning pieces of wood and
clothing. The deck of tho powder barge
was in like cr.se. Instantly we put out
the fire burning upon it r.nd looked fur
ther round. Tho loug boat had vanished
and with her 7 men ; 3 otherslay wound
ed on tho barge, one with fractured leg
and mangled features, another with shat
tered spine, several bleeding from numer
ous wounds. Some were swimming in
the wato: What could be saved was
saved, and the wounded b.ouglit on board
the ' Elbe.' The seven in tho long boat
were literally torn to pieces , tho two ves
sels were strewn with iniuu'.e fragments
of their bodies. Tho funnel of the 'Elbe'
had two holes, and the interior of the
fore cabin was almost demolished. From
the powder barge, pieces of planking
were torn away. Had tho 8,0u01b of
powder but exploded, no boat, no irnce of
a living soul would have remained.
Have you auy conception of our con
tact torpedoes ? They consist of a torpe
do iron vessel charged with 1001b. of
powder, which by means of iron bands is
fastened to an umbrella-shaped anchor.

gether and in so many directions across
the haven that no ship can pass uninjur
ed; others of a different consttuction al
so lie there which can be watched on
shore and fired by electricity.
The blow I mentioned on my shoulder
lamed also my left arm. On looking clo
ser I found my jacket and shirt pierced
through , a wound in the shoulder, and
two splinters of bono an inch long stick
ing in it not my bones. It must have
been a bono from one of tho ill-fated
ones which had struck me.
The IIiiiu. ii Body.
Tho muscles of tho human jaw csert
a force of 534 lbs. The quantity of pure
water which blood contains in its natural
state is very great j utnounts to almost
seven eights. Jiicl estimates the surface
of the lungs at 15'' square feet, aud tho
blood is n fifth the weight of tho body.
A man is taller in tho morning than at
night, to tliu extent ot halt an inch or
more, owing to tho relaxation of tho
cartilages. There is iron enough in tho
blood of forty-two men to make a plough
share of tweuty-iour pounds or therea
bouts. Tho human brain is the tweuty
eigth part of tho body, but in the horso
the brain is not more than the four hun
dredth. BaS" Mrs. Stowe says that in America
no woman ever dies for want of speaking
her mind. This, however, accounts for
much of tho mortality among men.
SUNDAY READING.
"How Gootl It la Ihat we'linvc a UmIP
A
LITT 'i boy of four years old, was
sleeping one night, in a low bed in
the same room with his mother, lie was
a lovely and thoughtful child, and though
so young, had always rece'ved lo his mind
the idea Oi tne great t.o:l who made him.
and rules over ell. lie was happy in
having been taught to pray to this great
God, and was daily in the habit of asking
what ho most wanted ol Ins heavenly
Father, without doubt.
But this n'giit of which 1 speak, lie
awoke out of his sleep with a loud cry us
if he had been disturbed by a frightful
die. xn. When his mother tenderly in
quired w'oat was tho matter ; he told her
that he was nfra d, and begged to know
if God would indeed lake care of him.
When his mother assured him, that
Cod would tako care of hi in in tiio dark
ness as well ns in tho light, ho sunk back
upon his pillow, and sighed out. How
good it is to have a Cod." He then fell
asleep peacefully, as if he felt the ever
lasting arms around him.
Christian!, who have long been in the
school of Christ, would do well to go
back, and take a first lesson from this lit
tle child.
When the way is dark before them,
and those trials como upon them, which
they had every reason to expect, and
which they need for their sanctifica
tioD, instead of complaining, let them
cast themselves upou tho care of him who
is mighty to save, and say to their hearts,
" How good it is that wo have a God."
So when the hour of death comes, the
darkest hour of all, Christians may be
sustained by tho thought that comforted
the near cmld in that dark night: and
falling br.ck on tho bor.om of .Icsus, may
siuk to rest, exclaiming, " ITow good it is
to have a God."
Womanly MotUv ty.
Man loves the mysterious. A cloud
less 6ky, a full-blown rose leave him un
moved, but the violet hides its blushing
beauties behiud the bush, and the moon
when she emerges from beneath if cloud,
aro lo him sources of inspiration and
pleasure. Modesty is to merit what shade
is to figures in painting it gives it bold
ness and prominence. Nothing adds
more to female beauty than modesty, it
sheds around tho countenance a halo of
light, which is borrowed from virtue.
Botanists havo given to the rosy hue
which tinges the cup of the white rose
tho name of " Maiden's blu?h." This
pure and delicate hue is the only paint
a christian virgin must use, it is the rich
est ornament. A woman without mod
esty is like a faded flower diffusing an
unwholesome odor, which the prudent
gardner will throw from him. Her des
tiny is melancholy, for it terminates in
shame and repentance. Beauty passes
like the flower of the albo ; which blooms
and dies in afew hours; but modesty gives
the female charaeicr charms which sup
ply the place of tho transitory freshness
of youth.
The Tir.'ce Sieves.
" Oh, mama !" cried little Blanche
riiilpott, " I heard such a tale about
Kdith Howard! 1 did not think she
could be so very naughty. One "
" My dear," interrupted Mrs. I'liilpott,
" before you continue wo will see if your
story will pass tho three sieves."
" What does that mean, mamma ?" in
quired Blanche.
" I will explain it. In the first place,
is it true t"
" I suppose, so; I got it from Miss
White aud she is a friend of Edith."
" And does sho show her friendship by
telling talcs of her ? In the next place,
though you cr.n prove it to bo true, is it
kind?"
" I did not mean to bo unkind, mam
ma, but I am afraid I was. I should not
like Edith to speak of me as I have spo
ken of her."
" And, is it necessary ?"
" No, of course, mamma ; there was no
need for mo to mention it at all."
" Then put a bridlo on your louguo,
dear Blanche and don't speak of it. If
wo cannot speak well of our friends,
us not speak of them at all."

ftSy Nothing on earth can suiilo but
human beings. Gems may flush reflect
ed light, but what is a diamond flash
compared with tin eye flash and . mirth
flash ? A face that caunot suiilo is likeu
bud that cannot blossom, and dries up on
tho stalk. Laughter is day, and sobriety
is night, and a smile is the twilight that
hovers gontly between both, and more be
witching thau either.
