SI-1111ARY OF THE YEAR S WORK.

The work of the National Life-boat Institution, ia
saving life from shipwreck in the ',ear 1072, may thus be
brittly summarised :--
Lives saved.
By Life-bouts . . . . 569
By Shore-h ie.+ and other means, for whose
services the Institutiol granted rewards 170
Total . 739

The Pre,ervation of Life, to which the Institution has
devoted itself for nearly half a century, has been con.
eidered in all ages as an act deserving of every meed of
gratitude and encouragement. The highest and humblest
are often made widows and orphans by the violence of
the storm, as was too frequently seen awing the fearful
gales of last December. To-day it is the great captain
in his prowl war,hip, who gies down with five hurdred
men into the ocean's bosom. To-morrow it is the poor
wornan,with her children round her—who, on the desolate
beach, mourns for the manly heart that will return no
more—teethe night has been stormy—and the fishermen
have all been ' drowned."

It only remains for us at the commencement of th•
year, to pray that it may not be so stormy av the past
year; and to appeal to the public at large for their con-
tinuous support to the Life-boat Institution, which is so
merciful and patriotic in its design, and a hich is so con•
stantly giving practical proofs of its successful working
in saving life from Shipwreck.

"A VISCI TO EPPS'S COD SIANDFACTORY.—Throug&
the kindness of Messrs. Epps I recently had an oppor-
tunity of seeing the many c implicated and varied pro-
cesses the Cacao bean passes through ere it is sold for
public use, and, being both interested and highly pleased
with what I saw during my visit to the manufactory, I
thought a brief account of the Cacao, and the way it is
manufactured by Messrs. Epps, to fit it for a wholesome
and nutritious beverage, might be of interest to the
readers of •` Land and Water.' ''--See Article in" Land
