ton, and proceeding up stairs to the nursery, she
was surprised by terrific figure at the bottom of
the bed of the youngest child which was but three
years OF age The fact was, that the nurse maid,
finding the child not very ready to go TO rest, and
being 10th to be disturbed in her evening enjoy
ments by It's crying, had dressed up and placed the
figure alluded TO at the bottom of the infants bed
with view TO frighten it to sleep. The contrary
effect, however, had been produced-the child had
been horror struck, and appeared its mother with
ITS eyes hxed In an ldlotIc stare, upon the image.
Astonlshed and distressed, she rung the bell, and
then proceeded to take up the intant-but 10 ! it

nurses folly, had been To much for the little inno-
ceut. In the extreme of fear, the pulse had ceased
to beat-the vital spark and fled. and the mother
was left to mourn in unutterable anguish, the Gre

and the periidy of the unprincpled nurse in whom
she had confded. To add more is quite needless
and to describe the subsequent sorrows of the par
ents is impossible 1t is a melancholy story bat it
is not more strange than true; and We give it with
other view than to place parents upon their guard

Though the cliffs DO not preseut to the eye so

bard yet il is sufficiently deep to excite wonder
at the hazardous practice which is very common
amongst the inhabitants of the neghboring villages,
at the proper seasons Of the year. mean the prac-
tice of gathering the cnih mGritimum, or rock
of sapphire, which grows in great plenty along the
edges, and down the perpendicular sides of the cliff
Shakespeare, you may recollect, aludcs to this
mode Of livelihood, and calls It, as he well might IA
" dreadful trade ); for few ayocutons are attended
with so much danger. The method is simply this /;
The sapphire gutherer takes with him a stout
rope and AN iron crow bar, and proceeds to the
cliffs. Fixing the latter firmly into the earth, the
brow of the rock and fastening the former with
equal security to the bar, he takes the rope in his
hand, and boldly drops over the head of the rock,
lowering himself gradually till he reaches the crew
ices IN which the sapphire is found. Here he loads
his basket or bag with the Vegetable, and then as
ccnds again to the top of the cliff by means of the
rope. Carelessness casually in n calling so per-
lllous as this will sometimes produce terrible acc-
dents. Ih-m-s related one to us, which though
not terminating fatally, full of horror that,
to use vulgar but very oppressive phrase it made
our blood run cold
{" A few years since one Of these Adventures went
alone 10 the spot are speaking of, to follow his
accustomed trade lie fEed his crow bar attached
the cord to IT, and descended the face of the rock
In the course Of few minutes he reached a hedge
which, gradually retiring inwards, stood some feet
within the perpendicular, and over which the brow
of the cliff jutted consequently in the same proper
ton. Busily employed in gathering samphre, and
attentive only to the object of profit, the rope sud-
denly dropped from his hand, and after few oscil-
latons, but all without his reach, became stationary
at the distance of four five feet from him. Moth
ing could exceed the horror of his situation above
was rock of sixty seventy feet in height, whose
projecting brow would defy every attempt of his to
ascend il, and prevent every effort of others to rem
der him assistance. Below perpendicular de-
scent of one hundred feet, terminated by ragged
rocks, over which the surge was breaking with
dreadful violence. Before him was the rope, his on
ly hope of safety, his whole means of return but
hanging arsuch tanalizing distance as bafiled all
expectation of his reaching it. Our advenurer was
fortunately young, active, resolutc he therefore
quickly determined what plan to adopt: collecting
all his powers into effort, an d springng boldly
from the ledge, he threw himself into the dreadful
'acutm, and dashed at The suspended rope. The
desperate cxcrtion successful; he caught the
cord, and in short time was once more at the top
Of the rock"
