The Discontented Children.
" Do let us go, mother, Iwish you would,
for it does n't rain," said Helen,, leaning
her forehead against the window-pane, and
feeling very unhappy.
Her sister Cora, who was older, but so
nearly of the same size that strangers
thought them twins, said :
* 4l Yes, mother, and you said we might
go if it did n't rain." •
"I wish my little daughters could be
happy at home, playing with each other,"
their Mother replied.
"We can see each other any time," said
Cora, pettishly, and Helen said:
"It did n't rain the half holiday when
you thought it would, and I do n't believe
it will to-day," and,she stood drawing her
lianda down the pain of glass.
Mrs. Leland loved her children,:and she
wished to see.them happy. She thought
perhaps it would not rain, and she dis
liked to deprive them of pleasure, so she
gave her consent for them to go and visit
their little playmate. The tone of their
voices changed directly, and while they
were dressing they were as merry'as little
birds. They thought they loved their
mother,dearly, bat if they bad, would they,
have teased her so?
All the afternoon long the children played,
and never thought that their mother might
be lonesome ; ittil she did not tell them
that their teasing had made her head ache.
Besides, they had nat been gone long when
it began to rain, and that increased her
anxiety.
But Cora and. Helen were selfish ; they
loied themselves bettter than they did their
mother, though they did not think so.
When returning home their feet and clothes
get very wet:"
" Next time when ybu think it's going
to rain, I'll stay at home," Helen said to
her mother that evening, when she gave
the' good-night kiss, and Cora, with down
cast eyes, said:
'" So will I;" for they felt that their
mother was grieved.
But that was not quite enough., Their
decision should have been to obey, at all
times, and never tease at all.
Another half holiday` came, though not
the next succeeding one, and again Cora
and-Helen wished to go abroad.
" Mother," sititi Helen, " You promised
aunt Leitise that you would take us and go
and see her, and you haven't been yet."
I have n't felt as though I could go so
far ; you know it's a long walk over to
anntar her mother replied.
" That's what yon always say," said Cora.
"Auntie said the walk would do you good,
and uncle. Howe will take us all home in
their, carryall. Do let us go, mother,
p-1-e.a.s-e," and Cora threw her arms
around her mother's neck, and kissed her
again and again.
Mrs. Leland decided' to make the effort
which she felt it would require, and was
getting ready to go when her husband en
tered.
" Anna," he said, " you had no appetite
at dinner, and I have come home to bring
these cherries—the kind you are so fond
of—they are the nicest kind of wild cher
ries. I'll have some of them preserved in
bottles, they'll be a tonic for you. 'T was
a fortunate circumstance, my meeting with
Farmer Smith's boy; he'd just been pick
ing them."
After the children and their mother had
feasted on the cherries, they set out on the
prdposed walk to the home of aunt Louise.
Mrs. Leland was much exhausted on ar
riving at her sister's, and had to lie down;
but the children were aocustomd to see their
mother tire with slight exertion, and so
they ran out, to play with their cousins till
supper time.
" .Aunt Louie always has such nice sup•
peril," whispered Helen to Cora, when they
were called to the table; their cousin Ag
nes overheard, and whispered back: " We
don't have any nicer suppers than you do;
and you always have meat on the table. I
like meat."
Mrs.' Howe teat concerned to find that
her sister had no appetite; and asked her
to drink some nice new milk, which she
did.
As soon as supper was over, Mrs. Leland
complained of feeling ill; and at her re
quest Mr. . Howo made ready his carryall
and. took her • home; but as Mrs. Howe
wished the children to remain till morning,
and as .they teased to stay and sleep with
their cousin, their mother consented.
When Mrs. Leland arrived home, she
fainted on leaving the carriage. Her hus
band became alarmed, and sent for a physi
cian.
The Doctor felt her pulse, shook his
head, and inquired what she had eaten.
" Cherries and milk ? fatal, I fear," he
said.
In great distress she la3r that'ilight, and
then a stupor passed over her system; and
when the morning streaked the eastern sky
they whispered, " she is dead !"
But who shall break upon the little
daughters the sad intelligence that they are
motherless 1
" Dear children," said their aunt, weep
ing bitterly.
" What,. auntie," said Cora, lifting her
head from her pillow.
" Auntie, you crying ?" said Helen.
Your mother "—she could say no more.
" She's sick," said Cora, springing to
the floor and seizing her dress; "I 'll go
and see her. I won't wait for uncle Howe."
Helen began to cry..
" Cora, darling, Come back," for, half
dressed, she was going to run down stairs,
and 'at her aunt's call she went and leaned
beside her, saying "I'm going to see my
mother.. I cannot wait."
• "Darlings, you have no mother now,"
their aunt replied, passing her arm around
the waist of Cora, and pressing her affec
tionately to her side.. "Dead!" shrieked
Cora,, nearly falling. "0 say she is not
dead;" and Helen cried and moaned upon
her pillow.
"0 say she is not dead, and I'll never
tease to go away from her. again," said
Cora.
But her aunt could not say so. No tears
could bring to life again the mother who
bad loved them so fondly. No sorrow could
atone for the .pain and anxiety they
had given her:
After the funeral Helen was taken home,
but Cora grew ill and remained with her
aunt, that she might bestow the attention
which Cora needed.
Before she recovered entirely, her father
had decided to move away from the town.
He did so, arranging with .Mrs. Howe to
have the charge of Cora, but Helen board
ed with her father, among strangers.
How these - chiliren longe'd - to see each
other, and very often did they think that
nothing could make them siPhappy as to
play together once more. But that time
never came.
Although Cora's health returned in such
a measure that she could ride out in pleas
ant weather with her uncle, yet she never
felt quite well again; and when the leaves
fell from the trees, Cora pined away, and
slept the sleep that knows no waking.

The Old Farm Gate.
Where is the gate that once used to divide
The old shady lane from the grassy road side?
I like not tbis gate so gay and so bright,
With its glittering latch and its trellis so white,.
It is pretty, I own, yet, oh dearer by far,
Were the red rusted hinges, bud the red rusted
bar,
Here ere fashion and form of a modernized date,
But I'd rather have looked ou that. old farm gate.
'T was there, where my sisters would gather to
play ,
In the shadow of twilight, or sunny mid-atty.
How we'd laugh and run wild 'mid those hil
locks of sand,
Where temptation existed no child could with-
stand ;
But to swing on the gate to olarnber and
ride,
Were the utmost of pleasures, of glory and
pride,
And the oar of the victor or carriage of state,
Never carried such hearts as the old feral gate.
0 fair is the barrier taking its place,
But it darkens a picture my soul longed to trace.
I sigh to behold the rough staple and hasp,
And the rails that my glowing -hand scarcely
could clasp,
Oh how strangely the warm spirit grudges to
•

With the commonest relic once linked t

And the brightest of fortuneli; the kindliest fate,
Would hot blinish my love for the old firm gate.
Raking Pun of People.
Once when traveling on a stage-coach,
says a writer in a cotemporary, I met with
a young lady who seemed to be upon, the
constant lookout for something laughable.
Every old barn was made the :subject of a
passing joke, while the cows' and sheep
looked demurely at us, little dreaming that
folks could be merry at their expense:
All this was, perhaps, harmless enough.
Animals were not sensitive in that respect.
They are not likely to have their feelings
injured because people' ' make fun of them;
but when we come to human beings, that
is quite another thing.
So it seemed to me; for, after a while,
an aged woman came running across the
fields, lifting up her hand to the coachman,
and in a shrill voice begging him to stop.
The good-natured coachman drew up his
horses, and the old lady, coming: to the
fenoe by the roadside, squeezed herself
through between two posts which were very
near together.
The young lady in the stage-coach made.
some ludicrous remark, and the passengers
laughed. It seemed very excusable;'for,
in gettinc? tr through the - fence, the poor,
woman made sad work with her old black
bonnet; and now, taking a seat beside a
well-dressed lady, really looked, as if she
had been blown there by a 'whirlwind.
This was a new piece of fun, and the
girl made the most of it. She caricatured
the old lady upon a card; pretended to
make a pattern of her bonnet ; and in
various Other ways sought to raise a latigh
at her.
At length the poor woman turned a, pale
face toward her, and said—
" My dear girl, you are now young, and
healthy, and happy. I have been so too,
but that time is past. I am now old and
forlorn. The coach is taking me to the
death-bed of my only child. And then,
my dear, I shall be a poor old woman, all
alone in the world, where merry girls will
think me a very amusing object. They
will laugh at my old-fashioned clothes and
sad, appearance, forgetting that the old
woman has loved and Suffered, and will live
forever."
The coach now stopped before a poor
looking house, and the old lady feebly de
scended the steps.
" How is she ?" was the first trembling
inquiry of the mother.
" Just ,alive," said the man who was
leading her into the house.
The driver mounted his box, and we
were upon the road again. < Oar merry
young friend had placed the card in her
pocket. She was leaning her head upon
her hand ; and you may be sure that I was
not sorry to see a tear upon her fair young
cheek. It- was a good lesson, and, one
which we greatly hoped would do her good.
Was it Worth Climbing For
A boy at play struck the ball awkwardly,
so that it fell upon the roof of a high barn.
He immediately scrambled up the rugged
door, and clinging by the hole in the brick
work, reached the top of the barn, rubbing
the skin from his fingers, tearing his
clothes, and running the risk of breaking
his neck. He gained the ball, but was it
worth climbing for ?
A man climbed up a greasy pole, on the
top of which was stuck a hat, for any one
who chose to take it. The man had great
difficulty in climbing the pole, for it was
greasy, so that he had to take sand fsom
his pockets to rub upon it, that it might be
less slippery. At last he reached the top;
but the bat bring nailed fast there, was
spoiled in being torn away. The man ob
tained the hat, but was it worth climbing
for? .
The . boy and the man were climbers
after ,things of little value. But all earthly
things are of little value, compared with
things which are eternal. A peasant boy
may climb after a bird's nest, and a prince
may climb after a kingly crown. Both the
bird's nest and the crown will fade away.
Well would it be for us to put to ourselves
the question concerning many an object of
our ordinary pursuits, "Is it worattimb
ing for 7" '
Noble Revenge.
When I was a small- boy there was' a
black boy in the neighborhood, by the name
of Jim Dick. Myself and a number of my
play-fellows were one evening collected to
gether at our sports and began tormenting
the poor black by calling him " Negro,
Blackanjoor," and other degrading epi
thets ; the poor fellow appeared excessively
grieved at our conduct, and soon left us.
We soon after made an appointment to go
a skating in the neighborhood-;- and on the
day of the appointment I - had the misfor
tune to break my skates, and I could not
go witlrout borrowing. Jim's skates. I
went to him and asked him- for them : "0,
yes, John, you may have them and wel
come," was his answer. When I went to
return them I found Jim sitting by the fire
in the kitchen, reading the Bible. I told
him I had returned his skates, and was un
der. great obligations to him for his kind
ness. He' looked at meand( with tears in
his eyes.said to me, " John, do'Let never
call me blaokamoor again,'' and immediate- .
ly left the room. The words'pierced my
heart, and .I burst into tears, and from that
time resolved not to abuse a poor black in
future::—Southey.

The Most Suitable Soil for Strawberries.
MESSRS. EDITORS :—After uaviug deter
mined what varieties of Strawberries you
will plant; the next , consideration is the se
lection of the most suitable soil in which
to plant them. •
As already intimated in a previous cora
mutheation, Strawberries will• grow in any
soil in this country; yet aiir they will grow
and produce , better in some than in pthers,
we 811ould, if:we have an, oportUnity of
making aeelection, choose the •best. The
best soil is , probably a y)arey_soil, inplining
to'Clay—not too rich,- and not
hi lily tea
nured. Sikh' a""piece all a -farmer'Would;
pronounce able to yield fifty or sixty bush
els of corn to an acre, is rich enough. -If
richer than this either naturally or arti
ficially, it will` produce fine, large vines,
but not so much.fruit. If poorer, it will
produce neither very good vines ner`fruit.
'Hence an old garden plot which, has re
ceived yearly additions of manure, and
which for convenience is usually selected,
if3tnot the -best location.. A:fteld' newly,
cleared from the originil forest, would per
haps 'be the best. If that is, pot to be-had,
the next be Would probably be an old pas
ture that had long -Jain - in,:fgrasig after the
`sod bad been turned under and thoroughly
rotted. The subsoil should be deep and
dry. The 'exposure should be° to the sun.
The tops of our hills, or the sides near the
summit, sloping to, the East- or South, is
much better than lOWersituations near the
base or in the valleys. Such locations will
produce larger fruit, although in no greater
quantitiek; on the other hand,- the best
vines and runners for planting are produced•
in the rich° nlluvial .Valleys. They are
stronger plants and much better rooted tlgni
those raised on the hills.
The bestseason for planting is Spring, in the
months-of April or May: It can be long;
however, successfully. in the Sunimer or.
Fall, when a moderate crop can be gathered
the following Summer; but if, done in the
Spring, a full crop may be had in the Sum
mer of the succeeding year; besides in.
Spring planting, not a plant will fail to
grow, whereas in Summer or Fall plantingp
many plants will be lost, no matter how
carefully they may be nursed. As to the
planting and Ouleivation, I cannot do better
than to state briefly- the mode followed by
our Pittsburgh growers-4nd I do this with
the more confidence,-
• because -it is,claimed,;
- and I believe truly, that we raise in this
county better Strawberries,, and more of
them in proportion to; the ground i'ultivi
ted, than are raised in any other part of the
Union. •
I do not agree with , those who attribute
this to our limestone soil. -Ours 'is not,
strictly speaking, a limestone mil. We
have limestone, to be sure, but it is by no
means the predominating rock. At Cin
cinnati, where the lower siluriau rock, and
at Columbus, O, where,the upper..silurien
rock iiist'to the einluSion of all others—
both pure carbonate of lime, impregnating
the superineumbent soilwith lime, to such ,
a degree that in some places it will eller:
vesee with acids—they are unable to pro
duce such fine fruit as we do. If I was to
hazard an opinion as to the cause, it, would
he to' attribute. it' to the potash which
abounds in the coal formation. I would
also be inclined to attribute to this ingro c
dient, in connection with the' sulphur so
common in our rocks, the peculiar adapta
bility of our' soil to the production of
grapes—issimilating our soil, as these, two
minerals d6',lO"the volcanic soils in Eiirope
and California, so celebrated for the pro-.
duction of wine.
For a plantation of Strawberries, the
ground is broken tip either. with the spade
or plow, as may be most confenient, to a
depth -of not less than fifteen inches—
twenty would be better.' It is reduced to
a fine tilth, and harrowed or raked smooth
on the surface. The plants, which have
been kept moist and in the shade, are then
planted in ,rows two and a half feet apart,
setting the plant twelve inches apart in the
rows. A gardener's trowel is used for
making the holes, which are made three or
four inches, deep,'and gable - 611Y large to
receive all the roots and, permit them to be
spread out, radiating in all direettons frau(
the centre of the plant... The, hole is then
filled up, and, the ground pressed firmly all
round the plant. They may now, be left
until the weede begin' to appear: , These
should be removed with a hoe between the
rows o ;:and by hAnd immediately around the
plant. Never - permit a horse to go on the
bed. The practice of horse-hoeing has
been abandoned here. No, further atten
tion is required, except to cut off the run
ners as they make their. appearance, Until
Winter sets - in.. They should then be
mulched by, spreading-a covering of some
protecting litter over the plants along the
whole line of.. the rows, an inch or two
thick. For this purpose I prefer to all
others, forest leaves- that have been pre
viously used for bedding cattle in 'the
stable. „Straw is an,excellent material - 0)a
it is' pt to have, a portion of unthreshed
grain among it,. which will grow among
your plants and cause additional labor in
cleaning them.. Tan-bark is,also good, but
I think it injurious to the sell from the
amount of salt it 'contains. • Sawdust is
also used, but is liable to be blown off by
the winds. Any one of these, however, is
better than none. -
Early in the Spring, this Winter cover
ing is removed from above the crown of
the plant, but suffered to - ternain in close
proximity to it where it will keep the
growls" moist, and, when the fruit is
formed, will keep it clean from the effects
of the dust and sand thrown Upon it . 'Ely

-The parsnip is, one of the most valuable
roots, that can be grown. In the Island,of
Jersey it is used almost eiclusively for fat
tening both cattle and swine., According
a
to Le Oonteur,:the wdight of good' crop
varies from thirteen to twenty-seven tons
per acre. When ,parsnips are given to
mileh cows, with a little hay, in the Win
ter season, the butter is found to be of as
fine a color and excellent flavor as when the
animals are feeding in the best pastures.
As parsnips contain six per cent.. mbre
mucilage than carrots, the difference, may
be sufficient to account for the superior fat
tening as-well as butter-making qual4y,of
the parsnip. In the fattening of cattle the
parsnip, is found superior to the carrot,,per
forming the business with more expedition,
and affording meat of exquisite and highly
juicy flavor; the animals eat it with much
greediness.• The result of experiment has
shown that not only in neat cattle, but in
the fattening of hogs and poultry, the ani
mals become fat much sooner, and are more
'healthy than when fed with any other root
or vegetable, and that, besides ' the meat is
more sweet and deliei9us. The parsnip
leaves being more bulky than those of car
rots, may be mown off beftre taking the
roots, and giiren - to oxen, cows, Or %ordea,
by which they_wilt-be greedily eaten. An
other thing in favor of phalli& 'for this

Curiosities of the Ocean Bottom.
Mr: Green, the famous diver, tells sin
aular stories of , lais adventures when mak
ing march in the deep waters of the ocean.
He gives some' new sketches of what he
saw at the " Silver Banks " neer.Hayti :
The banks of the Vend on mrhilih my
divings were made, are about forty miles in
length, and from ten: to twenty in breadth.
On this bank of coral -is presented to the
diver ,one of the most beautiful and sub
lime scenes the eyeever beheld. The we- .,
ter varies from ten, io one hundred feet in
depth, and is so clear-that the diver can
see from two to three hundred feet when he
is submerged, with but little obstruction to
the sight. The bottom of the ocean, in
many places, is as sinooth as a marble floor;
in others' it is_ tudded with coral columns,
from ten to one hundred: feet in height, and
from one to eighty feet in diameter. The
tops of those more lofty support a myriad
of pyramidal pendants, each lorming a.
myriad more ; giving the_reality to the im
aginary abode of some water nymph. In
other places the pendantslorm arch after
arch; and as the diver stands on the bot
tom of the ocean, and gazes through these
in the deep winding avenue, he finds that
they fill him with as sacred an awe, as if
he were in some old catnedral, which had
long been buried beneath Old ocean's
wave.": Here and there ' the coral extends
even to the surface of the water, as if those
loftier columns were towers belonging . to
those stately temples that are now in rums.
There were countless varieties of diminu
tive trees, shrubs, and plants, in every
crevice of the corals, where the water had
deposited the least earth. They were all of
a faint hue, owing to the pale light they
received, although of every shade, and en
tirely different trod plants 'am familiar
with, that vegetate upon dry land. One in
particular attracted my attention ; it re
sembled-a sea fan of-immense size,`of va
riegated colors, and the moat brilliant hue.
The fish which inhabited those Silver
Banks,' I found as different in kind .as the
scenery was varied. :They were. of all
forms, colors, and sizes—from the symme;
trical gobjr, to the globe-like sun-fish; from.
those of the dullest hue to the changeable
dolphin; from the spots of the leopard to
the hues of the , sunbeam ; from the harm
less minnow to the voracious shark.- Some
had heads like squirrels, others like eats
and dogs', one of small size resembled the
bull, terrier. Some darted through the
water like meteors, while others - could
scarcely be seen to move., To enumerate
and'explain all the various kinds ` f fish
beheld, while diving on these banks would,
were I, enough of--a naturalist - so to do, re
quire more than my. limits will allow, for I
am convinced that most of the kinds of fish
ihich inhabit the tropical seas, can be
found there. The sunfish, sawfish, starfish,
white shark, blue ,or shovel-nose shark,
were often seen. There were also fish
which resembled plants, and remained as
fixed in their position as a shrub; the only
power they possessed was to open and shut
when in, danger. Sortie of them resembled:
the rose in full bloom, and were of all hues.
There were the ribbon, fish, from four to
five inches to-three feet -in length; their
eyes are very large, and protrude like those
of the frog. Another fish VMS spotted,like
the leopard, from three to ten feet in length.
They build their houges like beavers, -in
which they spawn; "and the male or female
watches the egg until it -hatches. I saw
many specimens of the green turtle, some
five feet long, which. I 'should think would
weigh from 400 to 500 pounds."

and the operation may be repeated every
eighth or ninth year—the quality of the
bark continuing each year to improve as
the age of the tree increases. When the
bark is taken off, it is singed in the flames
of a'strong'fire, and after being soaked for
a considerable time in water, it is placed
under heavy wights, in order to render it
straight. Its extreme lightness, the ease
with which it can be compress* and its
elasticity, are properties so peculiar to this
snbstance, that no efficient, substitute for it
haS been discovered. The
. valuable prop
eitie.s cork were known to the Greeks
and Romans, who. employed 'it for all the
purposes for which it.it is used at present,
with the exception of stoppers; the'ancients
used cement for skipping the Mouths of

to have made .coffins of cork, which, being

The Stars.end Stripes upon the Pyramids of
Egypt.---43ythe arrival of the last steamer we have
not, only the confirmation of the deatkof. Mr. Ste
yens, the great American traveler, who was,mur
dered in the interior of Africa,
but also that of
the . most heart-rending death of Mr. Wise, the
well-known rock-painter, who for the last three
years has been - in the employ of Messrs. P. H.
Drake & Co., proprietors and originators of the
celebrated Plantation Bitteia tonic' which' is
fast becoming a household necessity all over the
- world. -Mr. Wise had about c `completed a most.
successful Nur through the Holy Land, the Val
ley of the Nile, Jerusalem, and a large portion of
Egypt, painting upon the rocks in a thousand
plaCes of biblical renown and amociatien; , in and
around Gaza, the city where Samson pulled down
the Temple; on the top of the, rock Etam, near
the place where Samson slew the Philistines with
the jaw-bone of an ass;"upon the lofty and dark
mountain of ,Jebel *aka, near where Pharaoh,
and his host were swallowed up in the Red Sea;
upon Mount Tabor overlooking the great plain
of Esdraelon, the battle-field of all ages and na
tions, also upon the range of mountains over-'
looking the Sea of Galilee; upon the tower in,
the- vicinity; of Cana, Where 'our Saviour 'earned
water into wine; upon the lofty mountains of
Lebanon, lifting their heads into, the regions of
perpetual snow and ice ; and upon the ancient ol
ive -trees, on Mount Olivet', under which the sacred
martyrs toiled for the sins' of the 'world, eigh
teen hundred years ago. The eircumstanieS, as we
learn them from an English correspondent of the
London Times, at Cairo, are somewhat as follows:
Mr. Wise had taken up les temporary abode in a
small village in close proximity to the Pyramids,,
and had, at great expense and trouble, erected
an .enormous scaffolding, reaching to the very
topmost:height • of the centre pyramid, and had
already been'employed some two weeks in paint
ing and affixing thereto the cabalistic signs,
S. T.-1860—X, the meaning of which no human
being has yet been able to decypher. He had
completed the novel and dangerous undertaking,
had put the last finishing touch to the whole,
which caused, them to shine out in the sunlight,
. like letters of living gold. This mysterious S.
T.-1860--X, could be seen for miles and Miles,
And when the scaffolding should be taken away,
the wandering Arab and weary traveler would
wonder, how they came there,- and perhapg ima
gine that other than human hands had placed
thein there. His duty to his employers had been
fulfilled, and now came what he conceived, to be
his duty to his bleeding and War-distracted
country. To that end be had erected& flag-staff
upon the very peak of the pyramid, which was
accomplished by blocks of wood and straps of
iron, and announced' that at twelve o'clock on
such a day, he would hoist the American flag on
the,top of the world-renowned pyramid.- The
-announcement flew like wild-fire, and long be
- fore : the appointed hour on the twenty-second, of.
February, ten thousand swarthy, ragged, and
bare-legged Arabs had assembled, and pitched
their tents in the immediate• vicinity of the'pyra
mitts. At eleven o'clock My. Wise, with the flag
wrapped around him, • commenced the ascent of
the Scaffolding, and in-half an hour had reached
its top; Soon after, the flag was securely attached'
to the halyards, and all was ready ; with breath
lessiifixiety and the stillness of death, the thou : -
sands of' up-turned faces watched every move
of the daring and. patriotic Wise. Arid as the
Egyptian bell tolled the hour of twelve the broad
stripes and bright stars were given to the breeze,
and There, abOve the peak of the mighty pyra
mid,- waved the - proud banner in -all its beauty,
majesty, and glory—at sight of - which - these ten
thousand Arabs shouted and yelled as lustily as
if they were welcoming back to earth the millions
of their race said to be entombed within the Pyr 7
amide: Brit now comes the sad part of our story
—Mr. Wise had successfully "accomplished all
that he had undertaken, and was about to com
mence his descent, when, oh! horror of horrors I
the scaffolding was seen to sway, to and fro in
mid air, and in less time than I have been rela
ting it, 'the whohrstrueture came- crashing 'down
to earth, and there in the dizzy height could be
seen this brave man, holding on to a portion of
the halyards that he caught - hold of when he saw
and felt the scaffolding giving way. The Beene
was changed, as with the waving of a magic
'-wand, thErlaughter and the shouts subsided into
silence—that indescribable murmur that beto
kens tbe presence of a multitude. It was utterly
impossible for human-power to aid him, and for
one whole hour thousands of human beings stood'
and watched, with, 'oh ! What agony of euspenee;
a brave man strugglingfibr life—his Agonizing
calls for help could be distinotly beard, but, alas !
no help could reaeh Ihinit%At last nature was
exhausted, and in a Moment more he lay at the
base of the Pyramid, a crushed and bleeding
mass of flesh and blood. Still the proud banner
waved, and - still the S. T.-1860—X, shone out
with -undimmed lustre, but to place them- there
had cost the life of a brave man. He was buried
at the base of ie Pyramid, which will ever be a
lasting monument to his patriotism and bravery.
