In Ocean's wide domains.

There the black slave ship swims,
Freighted wilh human forms.

THE ATLANTIC CABLE.
A school of m.irkarel got dismissed
To pondt-r this new study ;
The alewives paused amid their drink
And thought their heads were muddy;
The lobster turned in sudden fears,
As red as when they're boiled ;
The whales shed spermaceti tears.
Till all the sea was oiled.
The frightened soles together came
In one substantial body ;
Each cod looked bluer than blue pills,
Or Warren's Pillicoddy ;
The creat sea serpent wondering asked,
"What's all this stir and coil!"
The eels a giant brother knew.
And stopped to see bim broil.

The ocean s tongues and sounds.
Till (while old hunkers of the deep
Were wondering and gulping,)
; Young swordfish sent by telegraph
A challenge to young sculping.
And when they understood the thing.
The watery fun grew better
The seals desired to stamp themselves
On every passing letter;
The grave while bears came swimming down
To inquire for Doctor Kane,
While the frightened herring only asked
What tidings from the Seine!

alike felt the invigorating rays of that

to have received a new impulse. A new
life seemed to have been infused into the
world, with tho newborn day. How

and hopes revived in the hearts of the
desponding ! To none, pcrhapH, more so '
than to tbe six hundreds souls that bad

death," is a saying strikingly verified in
this instance.
When all soemcd safe and prospcrons,
tbe appalling sentence fell upon tbo ears
of tho bappy multitude, far from land,
home, and friends, with no other hope left
them than a watery grave " Tlie sliip' son

" We'll all be lost .'" was the re
sponse of every one. Terror seized upon
man, woman, and child, and in a moment
all was wild confusion. The cries and
shrieks of tho poor unfortunate victims
sounded far and wide over the blue water
and cries for help ascended heavenward.
No help was nigh, no refuge, but tbe cold
embrace of death. Thc flames increased
until they overspread tho entire vessel.
The last ray of hope had died away. Ob!
what a heart rending scene followed !
Sisters,clasped in each others arms,plunged
into the fathomless deep, tbe waves closing
quietly over tbem. The father compelled
bis wife to cast herself into thc dccp,whilst
he pronounced a blessing upon his chil
dren, and with them sank beneath tbe
waves to rise no more nntil the last day.
The lover and friend, taking a last long
look towards their native land, with a
prayer npon their lips for dear ones, re
luctantly plunged and sunk beneath tbo
boiling sea.. .The Austria and her gallant
crew, save tbe few that were rescued by
timely assistance, arc no more ; they sleep
beneath the billows of the Atlantic. All
is now silence, where, but a few hours be
fore, all was joy and gladness. Tbe hearts
that beat with warm emotions, now lie
cold and silent in the embrace of death.
How many homes havo been made deso
late by this disaster! how many hearts
have been caused to bleed and break by
this almost unparalleled catastrophe ! Ne
gligence bis been attributed as the sole
eanse of this; but, whether such is the
case, we are nut prepared to say. God
deals with His people in a mysterious way.
May this not have been His way of ad
monishing those who were left behind ?
Surely, God speaks as unequivocally to us
in His Providenee, as he does in His holy
Word. M.

The Object of Study.
Many persons entertain the idea that the
only object of study, is to fill tbo mind
with a vast amount of principles and thco-
ries, which can be called into nso when
wauled. They liken the mind of tbc pupil
to. vast grunary, into which the farmer

when wanted for use or sale. Many

a certain number of books during the
' school term, they are "getting along fine-

that they are making ijood pro-jrea in their
I bji-j
I studies.
Dr. Nott, of Union College, was in tho
babit of telling tbe graduating class that
tbc discipline of mind which they acquir
ed, in their college course, was of infinitely
greater value to them, than all the facts
they bad treasured up from books. We
often see persons, who have gained an ex-
tensive knowledge of books, Cud it diffi-
cult to carry out a train of reasonins to a
logical conclusion, or to express their eon-
! fu3Cd ,de" 80 M t0 bc nndcrs,ood- 1 ne

leads tbem to depend on your assistance,
and they will never launch out on tie
broad sea of thought. If the pupils need
assistance, try and lead tkeni through
their difficulties ly asking such questions
as will direct their attention to the errors.
Pupils should be required to make their '
cxplanati0, in a clear and concise man
nor; and it will soon become as easy as to
do it in a lazy, careless, and nnintellible
manner. 1). Ijoeh Haven Dem-xraU

Correct Speaking.
Wo advise all young people to acquire
in early life the habit of using good lan
guage, both in speaking and writing, and
to abandon, as early as possible, any use
of "slang" words aud phrases. The long
er thoy live, the moro difficult thc acqui
sition of good language will be ; and if
the golden age of youth, the proper season
i ,ur "u tu''"" ' lauuae, ua
j in i,g abusc tho "ifo"""'" victim of ne-
1 gcted education is, very probably, doom-
cu to taiK uauiy lor ine. money is not
necessary to procure this education. Every
man has it in bis power. He has merely
to use tba language which ho reads, in
stead of the slang which he hears ; to
form his taste from the bett speakers and
poets of tbe country ; to treasure up choice
phrases in bis memory, and habituate
himself to their use avoiding, at the same
time, that pedantic precision and bombast,
which show rather tho weakness of a vain
ambition, than tho polish of an educated
mind.
akaT'There is not a more thankless, val
ueless Dffico one which subjects a man to
more personal dislikes and neighborhood
bickering than that of a School Direc
tor. Like tbe station of a Juryman or a
Delegate, it is one not to be sought and
not to be shunned (unless imposed too of
tcn.) Tho people of Kelly township have
laid the irksome duty of a School Direc
tor, for something like ticelvc ycar$t upon
James Pross. While we know nothing
I of politics in this Department,we certainly
may rejoice that one so long laboring in
an important but gratuitous sphere, has
received a more rcnumerative position, by
being elected County Commissioner.
A Word to Boys. Begin, early in
life, to collect libraries of your own. Begin
with a single book, and, when yon find or
learn of any good one, obtain it if you ean.
After a while,, another, as you are able,
and be sure and read it. Take the best
care of your books, and, in this way, when
yon are men, you will have good libraries
in your bead?, as well as standing on your
shelves.
