The account states
When the different parties had taken up
their positions, on signal from tho inventor,
the boat was set IN motion, and was struc X
just abait her starboard bow, and instantane-
ously scattered into thousand fragments.
At the momen, of collision the water parted,
and presented to the eye of our informant the
appearance Of huge bowl. while upon its
troubled surface ne noticed corrusca,ion pre-
ciseiy resembling iorked lightning. A col
umn OF water was lifted up in the air like a
huge fountain, from which we've projected
upwards for many hundred feet the shattered
fragments of the vessel, which fell many of
them several bundled yards distant in the
adjacent fields. Our informant examined
many pieces, and found the huge ais snap
ped like carrots; tho mas. locke. it,ic tree
riven by lightning; ard never before, as Ne
assures us, has he witnessed SO sudden and
complete destruction, though he has seen
shell and rocket practice on the largest scale.
Such seemed to be the unanimous opinion of
all present. How this mighty effect was
produced was of course not disclosed to so
numerous party, but two naval officers pre-
sent were perfectly aware Of the mode Of OPP

tails contidentlally with one or two of the dis

question from Sir III. llardinge, the inventor
stated that without ba,,cring train he could
transport on mules back the means of de-
s'roylng the strongest fortress in Europe.

Spring has come-sweet spring, with its
gay laugh, its song of birds, its tender buds,
lis flowers of early time, and the young grass
that modest peeps above its winter covering,
as virtue does from poverty. Nor yet should
be forgotten, the refreshing shower, the swol-
len rivulet and the pure clear sky, in which
the thin white clouds come moving on, tiaas
OF elemental truce. Oh, glorious sprinS !!
richest of the seasons! To thee thy God has
given the beginning of all life.-Canst thou
not tell us its principle. Canst thou not
discover to poor, blind man,why thy showers
and sunshine arouse the germ of life alike in

There, answered the master, 'you again

our bodies are in health, we desire and relish

not yet passed away from the minds of many,
who have heard it from his own lips: few

"When was boy, had to study the La

and therefore | studied the grammar till
could bear with itno longer; and going to my
father told him did not like study, and ask
ed him for some other employment. 1t was
opposing his wishes, and he was quick in his
answer. "Well, john" said he, elf Latin
grammar does not suit, you may try ditch.
ing, perhaps that will my meadow yondel
needs aditch, and you may put by Latin and
try that" This seemed delightful change
and to the meadow went. Butt soon fount
ditching harder than Latin, and the first fore
uoon was the longest ever experienced. -
/ yha. day ate the bread Of labor, and glat
was when night came on. That night
made some comparisons between Latir, gram
mar and ditchlug, bot said not a word abou
it. I dug the next forenoon, and wanted {,
return TO Latin at dinner; but it was humili
ating. At night toll conquered pride, and
told my father, one Of the sevcrest trials ofn.,
life, that fine chose would 90 back 10 J.ali

since gained any distinction, it has been CIV
