LARGE TuRsIPs.-We received last week
from Mr.. II. p. Bryarly, two turnips, which de-
serve to be noted among the vegetables Of cx-
traordinary growth this season. The largest,
measured 2 feet 81 2 inches in circumference,
and weighed IL pounds , ounces. The other
measured the same in circumference, and weigh
cd . pounds II ounces. We saw the crop from
which these were selected and the average size
of the turnips appeared TO be little less than the
samp les which we measured and weighed.

HUMAN LIFE.

lis wearison,e to think what troubles time may bring
There are times when atfliction and misfortune
weigh heavily upon man-when disappointment
sears the heart and the keen stngs of agony pierce
the inmost soul. Ii is then that pine in sorrow,
and yield TO the bitterness of dependency rcck-
essness OF life follows and the most tender and
fined feelings become callous and subservent to the
canker that gnaws upon the heart-freezing up the
channels of affection and love. Misfortune is the
earthly portion of all. The youth as he arrives to
manhood feels an indeinabe something that future
years explain, and the aged and hoary-headed vet
eran, whose head is covered with the rosts of eigh-
y winters welcomes the tomb, his only resting place
from earthly grief and sorrow. True, there are
bright and howery pictures in life for brief space
of time they are enjoyed by all-by the rich man
rcveling in luxury, and by the poor man pining in
poverty. But are there no sorrows to succeed,
which cloud and furrow the brow, and throw the
mantle Of despondency over these evanescent shad-
ows Look at the world. He who once sported
in pleasures bowers and rcveled i'm luxury-he who
imagined that the future could bring no grovcling

of those who once cravingy sought and enjoyed his
bounty; and he who once felt the piercing demands

DARING EXPLOIT.

Mr.. Clark, in his Naval History, relates the fol-
lowing instance of cool intrepidity, which exhibits
very forcibly the daring character and adroit ma
of our naval heroes, in the war of the rev.
outon: "In June, 1879, an expedition of u. s.
vessels was fitted out and sailed from Boston. 1t
consisted of the Providence, 32 guns, Commodore
Whpple; the Queen Of France, % guns, Capt. J..
p. Rathburne, and the sloop of war Ranger, Capt.
Simpson. About the middle of July, near the banks
of Newfoundland, the squadron lay in a fog sig
nal guns were heard, and at intervals the sounds of
ships bells striking the hours. From this they sup
posed themselves to be near q fleet. About III o.
clock the fog began to clear off, when the crew of
the Queen of France, their great SURPRISE found
themselves nearly alongside a large merchant ship,
and after they perceived themselves to be in
fleet of one hundred and fifty sail, under the convoy
of seventy-four, several frigaes and soops of war.
The Queen of France Immediately bore down to
the large ship and hailed her. She answered that
the fleet from Jamaica, bound to London.-The
English ship then hailed the American, and was an
swercd, his Majesty's ship Arethusa, from Halifax,
on cruise. The American then Inquired if they had
seen any rebel privateers. The English replied that
several had been driven out of the fleet. The Amer
ican, Capt Rathburne, then requested the Capt. of
the English ship to come on board, which he did {;
when, to his great astonshment he found himself a
prisoner. Capt. Rathburnc then sent one of his own
boats, and the English captains boat both well
manned, to the ship of which they took quite pos
session without exciting the least alarm in the feet,
Notwithstanding many OF the vessels uca,I .I
IN hail of the one captured. Rathburne then went
alongside another large ship, and captured her in
the same manner. Soon after the capture of the
second ship, Commodore Whippe came alongside,
and ordered Capt Rahburne to edge away out of
the fleet as soon possible, he was persuaded
they would be discovered and overpowered. Capt.
Rathburne then pointed out the two large ships
he had captured, and requested permission to re-
main. The Commodore at first disapproyed of this
object; but was at length prevailed upon by Capt.
Rathburne to remain in the fleet all day, and cap
ture as many vessels as they could in the same eau
tious manner. As soon as it was dark they left the
fleet after having captured eleven vessels without
giving alarm. The squadron arrived safe at Bos-
ton with eight of their prizes-three of them having
been retaken by the English

PARTING INTERVIEW WITH EMMETT

The evening before his death, while the workmen
were busy with the scaffold, young lady was
ushered into his dungeon. 1t was the girl whom he
so fondly loved, and who had now come to bid him
her eternal farewell. He was leaning in melan-
choly mood, against the window frame of his pris-
on, and the heavy clankng of his irons snote dis
mally on her heart. The interview bitterly af-
fecting, and melted the caous soul of the ja-
lor. As for Emmett himself, he wept and spoke
little; but he pressed his beloved in silence to his
bosom, his cOuntenance betrayed his emotions. In
a low voice half choked by anguish, he besought
her not to forget him he reminded her Of their for
mer happiness, of the long-past days Of their
childhood, and concluded by requesting her some
times visit the scenes where their infancy was
SPENT and though the world might repeat his name
with scorn, te cling to his memory with affection.
At this very instant the evening bell pcaed from
the neighboring church. Emmett started at the
sound and as he felt that this was the last time he
should ever hear its dismal echoes, he folded his be-
loved still closer to his heart and bent over her
sinking form with eyes streaming with affection.
The turnkey entered at the moment; ashamed of his
weakness, he dashed the rising drop from his eye,
and frown again lowered his counenance.
The man meanwhile approached, to tear the lady
from his embraces. Overpowered by feelings, he
could make no resistance but, rs he gloomily re-
leased her from his hold, gave her little miniature
of himself and with this parting token of attach
ment, imprinted the last kisses of a dying man up
on her lips. On gaining the door, she turned
round as IT to gaze once more the object of her
widowed love. He caught her eyes as she retired,
it was but for a moment; the dungeon door swung
back upon its hinges, and it closed after her, i'll
formed him too surely, that they had met for the
last time earth.
