Whose music tulle my woes to Sleep. I watch the trembling moonbeams move And shimmer on the rippled sheet ; And in the sparkling mirror find Thine image pictured at my feet. I see the linLoring dewdrops cling Unto the waving lily's crest, Ami watch the trembling beauties shook In fragments from their peaceful nest. I fear, lest hopes that cling to us Like these may vanish into spray, Before the many joys that sweep The sweetest joys of life away. And then a jealous lover's dread— Lt fancy's fabric: of the mind— Makes me clasp thee to nay breast, And flee—to leave the world behind To unknown naiad kingdoms flee, Where years us softly drift as hours ; And e'en the breezes are too kind To toed( the dewdrops from the flowers I crown thee with a rosy wreath That steals the blushes of thy face, And start—alas ! delusive dream Ere I can feel thy fond embrace. 'AL ! truly this is more than love, I give to thee my peerless queen ! It is the echo of my heart Of what my soul's desire has been THE WEEDS OF THEUEADT The weeds of the heart how they flourish and thrive . In the beautiful summer of life ; How they spread their green banners to catch the bright showers, And hide from the sunhght the sweet spring• ing flower's, Till the air with their poison is rife. Oh, gather them early, dear children, I pray. The buds and the blossoms of sin Don't think it sufficient to plunk up the shoots But deeper and deeper dig hard at the route • That arc fastened so tirmly The *reeds of the heart may look stately and lair, And glow in their emerald sheen, Rot you'll never mistake them for plants that If you weed youth's Wt . garden with patience arid care, And keep all its winding paths clean. Dig hard and uproot7cvery vestige of pride, Or sin, in no matter what miise ; But while you are earnestly pulling up weed', Take care that you scatter abroad'no vile seeds Again in your garden to rise. When the weeds of the heart are uprooted and gime, Plant ftw.beautiful roses of love. Let the ivy of trust and the Mlles of truth, Climb about on the walls of thy stalwart youth, Tin they rcpelt Heaven's garden above, ffieletted ffitorg. MY NIECE NINA. Nina! Such an absurd fantastic uame to give a child ! But, then, Adeline was full of fantastic notions. I suppose th. re vief,!•r was two sisters more unlike than she and I. As long ago as I can re member, I think I possessed what might be termed correct views of life. I believe I can, without any semblance of beauti fullness,lay claims to a lair share of com mon sense and sound judgment. What ever duty lay before me I did without demurring. I was no dreamer, never locked myself up in my chamber to woo the muse and spend hours—days—that had better have been devotee to more practical employment, torturing incom prehensible sentences into rhyme and measure. But Adeline, oh ! I used to get so out of patience with. She imagined she had a talent for writing (that is, I suppose she did ; she never said anything of the kind. Adeline was no talker,) and it was the ruin of her. I used to do and say all I could to cure her of the notion, but my efforts were of no avail. What an amount of time she contrived to waste with her scribblinga— verses or whatever senseless thing. I thought ; but there was some who did not agree with me—Nivison, for instance. (How angry I got with him one day during a discussion we were !lav ing as to the merits of one of her new poems. , I foresaW just how it would turn out when these two were married. I knew it would he a struggle for existence, for the fellow wasn't worth a cei.t,aud was a par son in the bargain. I did all I could to prevent it, I know that. But father al— ways woulc, let her have her own way.— So married they were, and' off they went. Well, I expect she saw some pretty hard times our there in Wisconsin, so far from the parental pocket-book—which I need to suspect, even at that distance, was occasionally drawn upon. I never could comprehend why father should think so much more of Adeline than of me. To be sure, she was always coaxing and palavering about him, like the great , baby she was, calling him names, embroidering slippers and dress— ing,gowns, concocting dainty diahvs for him and all that: I had no time for such folderol, with the housekeeping on- my hands and the necessity devolving on me, the elder of iB . WO motherless daughters to represent the family in .sodiety. That after my: long aad faithful discharge of duty he Should,- in his will, divide 1118 property equally between us seemed to me an act of input:lsable favoritism. . . . . After father's death no correspondence passed between Adeline and myself, and, indeed, se neVer Met-Igain. Of Cu;.ni. then, Mali years of seperation and By trangment, it was., a" matterof no little surprw to my-husband and myself all at once tolhid ourselves appointed guardian of her child: sot- regularly appointed guardians, it is true - ; Mr, both parents having been suddenly. and . within a few days of cacti -other carried off by a: con tageous feve,- no arrangement having been made concerning her. ,At least so We.were informed by an acquaintance of theirs, OM wane to., us; the nearest rel. atives,4n4niring,what shoUld be done in the case. • . • "Stand by the Sight though the Ileavene AMP My husband went on directly. disposed of their effects (the proceeds he afterwards invested in railroad stock ; a very profit able one, too, it has proved, compensating, us in a measure for our care and trouble.) On his return he brought Nina with him. Could I have anticipated all I should doubtless have prevented this. But the child was only• ten at the time—that was eight years ago—and so exceedingly shy and quiet I could not possibly foresee the trouble I was bringing upon myself. Nev. ertheiess, must admit that I had an un comfortable presentiment when, at first sight, I noticed her close likeness to her mother, it'd, later, when I foamd the re semblanc.• consisted not in look alone.— She was Adeline's counterpart in manner te peram n t—everything. I have heard some say they thought Nina pretty. I never could see it. She was too pate by half, and her eyes—well, ' I never could bear ti. have her look at me. In fact, I will confess it here, I nev er liked the girl, However, I have tried to du my duty by her. If she had any other kith or kir. to go to I should have hesorned about taking her in. Bat she hadn't, and there was no alternative. I resolved on the start she should be of some use to me, and that I would have no tine lady airs. , And I must say she has been serviceable in caring for the children. (1 have been able to dispense with a housemaid since her coming—at least one item off our bill of expendir are —and is these days it does require so much money to live and keep up any kind of style.) Ot course I could not allow her the same educational advantages of my own childrec. How much she has contrived to pick tip I cannot say. She inherited her mothers taste for reading, and, no doubt, for scribbling too. But I was de tertnin:d not to have a repetition of that thlly. I would have no more bockwomen about me ; and as often as I caught her, duster in hand and sweeping-capon head, idling over Shakespeare or Milton, or dear knows what not. I have taken the book away and bidden her attend to her work. I fear however, delibquincies of this sort are not the only ones of which alio has been guilty. One day,l remember I had been out shopping, and, on return• ing. found her singing or.e of Estelle's snags, accompanying herself on the pi— an.d. Of course, I couldn't have that. It dues injure a piano so to he drummed upon. How indignant Estelle was when I told her about it. The dear child! I only wish she might have been spared the many annoyances she has endured from hating that gill in the house. I know very well what a trial it has been to her to have Nina always wearing about the dresses she had outgrown ; but that was an economical way which could not well be avoided, and I have been careful to k,ep her out of sight as much as possible whenever my daughters' acquaintances were with us. if I had only managed a little more adroitly when Walter Hansom was here I last. winter. If I Could have foreseen what has transpired I should certainly have got her out of the way for the time being. I might have sent her off to Cousin J.etilima's ' • or, perhaps, I should not have invited him to remain. A young man who could behaie with such shock— ing rudeness little deserved even that for ever. But business which would detain him several days brought him to our city. He happened to call upon my son Fred, with whom he had been intimate at col— lege, and so it was very natural that I should ask him to be our guest during his stay. A young man of property, tal ent, and prepossessing appearance, it oc— cured to me it might be a pleasant ar— rangement to bring him and Estelle to gether in this friendly . fashion. So I pry-vailed on him to remain with us.— (How often since have I deplored my cor diality upon this occasion.) • Of course we did everything in our power to make the visit agreeable. He and Estelle rode, Sang, played billiard, at tended the opera—in short, was almost constantly in each other's society, and matters seemed to be prospering finely, ' • when what should I discover one, morn— ing on entering the library but Walter and Nina sitting side by side on the sofa„ She had been sweeping, I suppose, and he had come in and found her there. I did not think it possible she would ven ture to address or engage in conversation" with a guest in the house like that. I never allowed her to sit at the table or meet socially with our visitors, all of whom, doubtless, had theimpression the was one of the domestics. I think I• stared at her a full moment in mute amazement. She quailed visibly under my gaze. "Nina, you may go up stairs and look after the childreil, 3 ' I said, - sternly. She left the room without a word. I wished afterwards I had concealed my vexation, at least before Ransom ; for immediately after breakfast (he had been. unusually silent during the meal) he an nounced his intention to depart on the. next train, nothing could dissuade him from his purpose. I thought it extremely impolite in him to leave so uncer;momously, considering all the trouble we had taken to entertain him, his attentions to Estelle, and know ing as he did, that we had sent our invi tations to a donde for hat very evening.- an entertatnrnrent got Wecially on his account. Estelle, poor child, s almost incort solable,'and as for soli I Could only give vent to my ieelin by taking Nina to task. I reprimanded 'her sharply.— What was my surprise when at last she remarked : "Why, Aunt Charlotte, I didn't think there could be any harm in speaking to him. We used to be neighbors at Havre- His father's • house was next- to ours.. We used to ,play. together. We went to the:same school. I. couldn't find a word to say. • How I knew that he hed.evei lived in Havrerille . Well; in a few days there'cotrie a letter addressed in a masculine band_ to Nina. I tboulzht it best to examine its contents before delivering it her: I thought best to End out for myself what sort of person might be writing to Miss Nina. It was from -Ransom 1 It ''began.witb s ‘.‘Dearest Nina untitled to her unhappy iittuatimi, and the trials *She was obliged to undergo, - (the ungrateful gird what falsehoods shesonst have told him 1)-and emhd by asking hor if she had any objec tions to corresponding. Correspond, indeed i and with Nina— gitd,so vastly his interior in every res— pect. 'llow defying, to be sure. Nina never enjoyed a perusal of that interesting letter. I threw it into the lire. I considerPd I was doing a favor in preventing a promising young man from wasting his sympathy and ink in that foolish fashion. And besides I still hoped that if the ease were handled carefully I might yet bring about a more satisfactory understanding between him and dear Es. telle. • As for Nina, I was out of patience with her I should certainly, then and there, hare bidden her take, her departure —seek her own livelihood in s.nne way or other (she might teach, perhaps, in a pri mary school, I thought; might do any thing. I didn't care what, if only she got herself oat of the way,) but the young children were just then coming down with the measles, and I could not well dispense witn her services. Some weeks later, the little ones har ing entirely recovered, "now," said I to myself, "it is time to speak." I was re volving the matter in my mind one after noon as I took a short cut through the park on my way home from a call I had been making. I caught sight of Nina through the shrubbery as I passed along. She had the baby out in his carriage for pH airing. A man was walking beside her. I approached. "This girl must be Watched as long as she remains with me," I thought. This man was Ransom I He saluted me in the most courteous mannerpossible. "Nina, I think the little darling has been out long enough. Hadn't you better be going home ?" speaking in the mildest tones I could command. Ransom hastened to relieve her of her charge, turning .the carriage toward the part- untr o ,nor and intabilq, it !liaison— No sooner had we reached the house door than, pausing, he took Nina's hand in his. It was right there on the street, in broad daylight. I could but wonder at his audacity. Well, I don't recall his ex act words. I know he made a very smooth litttle speech, the substance of which was, he wanted my consent to their marriage. Marriage I For two minutes 7 -longer, perhaps—l was unable to n.ter a syllable. so great was my astonishment. At last I managed to say : "Mr. Ransom it is a matter of perfect indifference to me in what manner this young woman may choose to dispose of herself. I only know that I close my doors to her—now and forever. And with that I lilted baby from his carriage and passed in. I suppose they went straightway to a clergyman, for their marriage notice ap peared in the next morning's paper. And that is the last I have heard or care to hear of either of them. A pre cious pair, indeed I HOW HE LOST HER. I knew Margaret was engaged, but I told her that I lnv.•d her. "I don't know what you mean, sir sae exclaimed, with an expressive lift of the jetty eyebrows ; but the liquid orbs beneath avoided mine, and that encour— aged me to be saucy in turn. • "It is of no consequeue,. that you should, of course ; but you don't imag• ine that you were going to flirt all sum mer with a fellow of my staminy,and get off unsinged yourself." "Why not ? You don't seem serwasly damaged," she laughed. "But I am. My heart is shrivelled crisp as a wailer." "Really ? I don't know what can be done about it." "I am going to show you." And so On for half an hour. We spoke jesting ly, both of us, but the laugh with each other c,;iNered deeper feelings. She .was beautiful, my Margare' l t ; fond of homage—as what woman is not ? anal accustomed tc, receiving it. It was not her fault, after all, that I loved her, but 'her glory, as au honest man's love is al— ways a true woman's glory ; and Marga ret was a true woman though I had call— ed i her a flirt. She was promised in marriage to Ross Bentley before she ever saw me ; long enough. Ile had stopped a horse which had been running away with her, and so saved her life. When he asked her to give him what he had saved, what wo— man with gratitude and a whole heart would not have said 'yes," as she did ? Besides she loved him for aught I knew. I had seen him,and he was a handsome enough man to win a woman's love, if beauty would do it. A handsome-couple, but somehow, see in;; the two together they did not seem to think much' of each other; and so I took tours e. Certainly. Margeret nev er looked et Ross when I wag by, as be bad looked at me many a time that sum— mer, as we two pleasantly strolled along the beach. Ross Bentley once stayed a week, and went back to town. He was a man of busi n ess. keenly devoted to money mak ing ; fonder of that, I fancied, than of the beautiful woman -he had won, and upon that imagining I hung another hope. Margeret was an heiress. If Mar garet was dowerless. I fancy that Mr. Bentley would never have weed her. But bow to prove it. Margaret and I did not relapse into the old fashion of strolling about the beach by moonlight after Ross Bentley had come and gone,and we stopped loo,t ing and talking nonsense, watching each other furtively. I felt cnaident that Margaret was wondering if . I had any— thing to do with those moods - of pensive ness .which had come upon my dark eyed queen of late. day I found her upon the balcony with anopen letter in her band. " "I am a very foitiinate girl," she said, glancing at the letter._ "Did you knoiv that Clark. Vernon & Co., the bankers in flew York, had failed last Week ' _ heard of it. - "The bulk of my fortune was in their bands at one time. I did not know but it was still. My guardian - writes me,hosv. ever, that he. removed it months age," I came f,rth eagerly at that, extend; lag my hand. "P. rmit me to nongrattilate you, Miss Stone." • - Margaret laughed rather confusedly' as she put herlittle halal In mine. ; . 1, Raw that ttho surpris& ut my Minaual eagerness. "Miss Stone, did you believe me whoa I said that I loved you, somewhere about a mouth ago ?" Margaret colored vividly, as she gave me a doubting look. "Yes. What of it ? Do you want to take it back now ?" "Not I. But in consideration of my great affection for you, I want you to do a favor for me." "Name it." she said looking much pua zled. "I um going up to New York to-mor— row. Will you humor me by premitting me to be the bearer of a letter from your self to Mr. Bentley ?" "This is an odd request." "I am aware of it. Will you write to Mr. Bentley a ietler, asking him' to en quire into this matter of the bank failure and let you know huiy serious a Matter it really is ?" "Brit I don't care about knowing.' "I do." "Why not inquire for yourself ?" "lie has so much better facilities for investigation. The truth le,Miss Stone, I am very much interested in this failure, and Mr. Bentley can find out all about it for me. But I don't like to ask him to do so much for a comparitive stran— ger. Margaret looked doubtful still, but she wrote the letter, and I took it to the city the next day. hoes Bentley grew slightly pale as he read. "4 suppose you know that the bulk of l'ifisk Stone's fortune was in the hands of CIA: Vernon & Co." I carelessly ob— served. "I was not aware of it." Bentley said, losing another shade of color. "Oh, well, it was. Can anything be saved out of the crash, Mr. Bentley do you suppose ?" "lot anything, I am very sure," he stammered. And thinking he might like to meditate upon the aspect of af fairs, I took my departure, saying that I would call before I went away again to take any message he might like, to trust to me. When I called the ti:xt day.he gave me a letter for Margaret., but he rooked any— where but at me as I took it. I caught a glimpse at Margiret's blue dress on the piazza as we drove up to the hotel; and without waiting to go to my room first, I hastened to her, and gate her the letter. - Then, much as I would like to have stayed until stie had read it. had no ex cuse for doing so, and therefore left her. Pivaited with something more than cu riosity for her appearance at dinner time, but she did not come at all. I ate noth ing myself, and spent the evening pacing the piazza with my cigar, and watching her window. But not so much as a shad ow of what I watched tor crossed my vis ion. Rememberilir , Bentley's face as he.gave me the letter, I could imagine that he had written something unpleasant; but even 1 was not prepared for the contents of the missive Margaret placed in my sands the following morning, coming suddenly upon me where I lounged on the shore. "I suppose that is what you went to town fur," she said. with an angry scorn, under which I quailed, for I felt guilty ; and as I read I winced again. The scoundrel I A more disgraceful epistle I never perused. If Margaret had ever loved him ever so dearly, this would have certainly ended it. He dis— solved the engagment without so much as saying "by your leave." He did in deed, say something about hastening to speak while there was yet an uncertainty as to how get lonely the failure had involv ed other people. But that was the mer est gloss, and only gave Margaret clue to the selfish reasons for this extraordinary conduct, I folded the letter and gave it back without a remark. • "Wellereal:y you have nothing to say ?" she asked. ~ S hall I challenge him to mortal com bat with horsewhips ?" Tears of anger sparkled in Margarets beantifzil eyes. "How could yon humiliate me so ?" '•I ? Miss Stone." "I beg your pardon, Mr. Gourney," she said haughtily. "And I beg plurs,llliss ,Stone, for tned. hug. I suspected Mr. Bentley, but not of anything quite so cold blooded.. Shall you break your heart about such a fool. 121.1 fellow ?" "Weed, nut ! but I am veryangry." "At whom, him or me ?" "At both of you." , I suppose I must have looked terribly abashed and confoanded—l tried to, for she put a little hand on my arm,and then would have swiftly withdrawn it, but I captured the frail thing and held it. "I suopose I ought to be very thankful to you,' l she said, struggling a little, and blushing in the most lovely manner. "If you will permit me, I will punish him for you," I said gravely. She looked up inquiringly. "By marrying you." • "Oh ? "Don't you think it would ?" Isaid. "Perhaps." We were quite sure of it the first titue we chanced to meet Bentley after our miirriage. His face was as good ilia pie tare. Uowing Against too Tide.

I thought of Erin's glories past, Her flag that waved beside my own. When southern shot fell thick and fast, Where brother's blood was sown.

Of jaunting-car, and klrtle red, • Of sparkling. eyes tor mischief made ; Of Boyne, where Celtic Mood was shed In spots that never fade, And as I gazed on Erin green The waters of the lake were stirred And sunset shed a dazzling sheen As sang the vesper bird.

ADVERTISING RUSES INGENIOUS DEVICIOS TO EiTEODUCE NOVELTIES I=l Besides queer and curious advertisements, of • blob a number of examples were Oven in the. World, the ruses nmiett advertisers now and then reeort to, are worth recording and form an interesting study, One daring genius, for instance, not long ago called on a large advertiSing concern in this city and proposed to post the advertisement of a patent plaster for the chest on the tomb stones in Greenwood Cemetery, Of course a howl of indignation would haVe been raised front Illaine to Texas, and the plaster would thereby have received an advertisement that hundred's; of thousands, of dollars could not have purchased. The agent, however, declined the tempting offer, much to the youth's aston ishment,who drearnt that he had made the hap py discovery which Was to float him on the full tide to fortune. . . .(VIVOtItEON'S CREWING ronieco. The.first successful experiment in the way.of 1 outsadvertising,was made • about fifteen years ago by. Auderson; the tobacconist, who adopted the following method Desiring to have his goods Introduced exten sively among the retail dealers, he employed a number of men to "work," es the politicians say,• the various wards . of the city. One of these canvassers would enter, cigar store and ask , the proprietor for a - Paper of "Anderson's tine-cut." The tobacciatist, in all probability, had never heard of the article, but recommend ed some other maker's, which_ the canvasser contemptuously declined. •In about an hour another customer would come in and, make a similar deputed; Mid beforektloiveck was over the prokietor would tied, so many inquiries for this sliecial brand that be was compelled to mala purchase, and as the article was only sold In large packagfN, it became necessary for I him, In order to effect asale, to recommend it to his customers, end BO the article' became quite popular. .• • - . - The canvassers were oftentimes compelled to buy,but as the goods were returned to the man ufacturer and resold, very little was lost an.the - transaction... Ten men - , therefote, at a salary or $8 a week, for: thOse • were the days of low wages, could in three - menthe have Induced or eryMrsratoett proprietor to make a purchase. ,and thus at an. expense Of hardly. $l,OOO, the goods were effectually introduced to the ' size PRIZE-PACKAGE. This idea, tliOugh very old, was successfully. tried by the Lorillards about . four or five years ago, and emulated, as some wag remarked, by Abe parsimonious fermersin the Dutch districts of Pennsylvania; who , put pennies in bundles of Wan.' to eticocompreliasers. Tho LOrillards advertised extensively in ,the riewsPLlPm that bills. from $lOO to 1 dent - gni- nation were placed In their papers of prize to bocci); rilso orders for Meerschaum The cupidity'rif the ehetvinepublie , was sons; ed, and every man vim found' a bill—for-the IMPIE =SEM NUMBER 29 precaution was taken to keep one-half of it at the office--or an order, was obliged to register his name Wand remdence,Whicb were in duo time published the papers. The f l orillards also placarded the advertise ment extensively over the city,and throughout the country , until the article became a house hold-word. OWing to the principle perhaps that habit is second nature, the man who pur. chased this brand for the sake of a pmbable prize became accustomed to ask for it, and the sales ! got to be quite extensive. TELEGRA.PIIIO DESPATCHES. Alma six years. ago a well-dressed person called upon the proprietors of one of the large Twing-u3achine msrfacturers, and for a very moderate considera on offered to bring before the notice of a hirinumber of residents the qualities slidrperior advantages of their make The offer wee acceptfd, end the enterprrsing projector hired a 9 , 4lmber of boys and attired them iu a plain unifFrut somewhat resembling that now worn by the conductors on railroad lines. These youths had books similar to those used by telegraph messengers s and their duty was to deliver kt various resideties what purported to be telerraphie dispatches. On the receipt or these ominous looking missives of'course there was a great 'commotion in the house. Thp boy who seemed to have been born in a burry ' , and had not reached a point of leisure, would insist on Laving his book immediately signed. The anxious recipient, after opening the thrmidable: looking envelope, would discover t aly a Orel:t ier aboui‘sewitte , machincs, add in the first out break of indignation at being badly sold would crush it up ant throw it aside ; but after a lit tle calm consulerahm generally picked it up to show it to her husband and hove a laugh over the shrewd ruse ptayed mitm her. The circular was read and 're-toad, and when the time came to buy a machine • the names of the makers seemed like-those of old friends. One of the most original plans of effecting a large salt, of a novel was practiced by as Ann street firtp a year or_twougo. They employed a number of penmen to write andaddress cop ies of something like the following letter to over twenty thousand people throughout the • Union : No. STREET, DrEw Yquac;— Nosy/ Green, Esq. • Sea : I regret to learn that you have seen fit to make objectionable comparisons betiveen me and the hero of that popular novel by the emi nent author, Romeo Grub, esq., entitled "The Bounding Rummer of the Big Gulch," and I feel constrained to call upon you for an expla nation of your unpardonable conduct. Yours, &c., B_43i - ezr. Mum The recipient of this startliria letter, not hav ing read the popular work, Would experience some curiosity to know what the hero was like and seeking the first book atom make a pur• chase. DAY & AIADTM'S BLACk.LNIO It is related that Day & Martin, of London, caused their wares to be extensively introduced by having an elegant -equipage, with footmen, &c., drive up to a store. with great clatter and cracking of whips. ' One of the footmen would descend, and In a loud voice ask for a pot of "Day & Martin's Waal:decking." Ttte rastore keeper; iinaccust ed to have such an aristo cratic class of cus mere, approaches respect- Ily and is ve sorry that he has not those articular manufacturers' wares on band, bat can recommend sonctithing eqUally good. "No, no," cries the footman in decided toisea,fmas ter is very particular and insists in using that polish ; hilt as Pm herb now, I don't mind waiting if you'll send out and get a pot." The shopkeeperying that by a little courtesy he mai secure Abe' custom of John Thomas' master, Is only too delighted, and - resolves to have a stock of Day & Martin's'on hand against similar contingencies. puem-r.ss DIRECTO= So LaDLE. One of the most successfully planned adver tising swindles which has yet been practised is, that of the "Business Directory."

The hdmemorial Paris widow, bowever, cap ped the climax when she placed on the tomb of her dthr departed that "the business was still -carried on by his disconsolate widowat the old I number." . . • THE LITERIOR OF THE OCEAN The popular ideas with record to the sinking of bodies in the sea have usually been quite unscientific. Some have theorized to the clTect that, cases of ships which founder at sea, they sink to 'a certain depth, and then float about until broken to pieces, or prawn upon some bank beneath the sea—indeed,a book was some time ago published sustaining this Others, again, arguo._that, the buoyant feria of the water at great depths is enormous, and due to the whole pressure of the water abore, end that all bodies which aro lighter than, Water at the surface will, if sunk to the bottom and de tached tom the sinker, shoot upward with great velocity, or, in other tvordi. that the den- sity of water • increases directly -. with the depth. - Now, it is proved by the most reliable inves tigations that, though the pressure increases with the depth=-oven to the.amount of fifteen pounds upon Wry square inch for 'every thirty, four feet in depth--the density is 'not (hereby increased:sensibly, owing to the incompressibil ity of the water ; so that, in realitymeither 'the lus6yant force, nor the resistance to the motion of any body, is sensibly augmented from:tho, surface to the bottom:.
