DEATH AT SEA.

Death is al times solemn but much so as al
sea. A man dies on shore his body remains with
his friends, and the mourners go about the street but
when falls overheard and is lost there is
a suddenness in the event. and difficulty in realizing
it, which gives 10 il air Of awful mystery. A man
dies shoreyou follow his body 10 the grave, and
stone marks the spot You prepared for the event
There always something which helps YOU TO realise
it when happens, and 70 recall when il has passed
A man is shot down by your side in battle, and the
mangled body remains object and peal evidence
but at sea the man Is near youat your sdeyou hear
his voice, in instant he gone and nothing but
vacancy shows his loss. Then, too, at sea-to use
homely but expressive phrase-you miss
much. A dozen men are shut up together in little
bark, upon the wide, wide sea, and for months and
months no form and hear voices hut their own,
and one is taken suddenly from among them and they
miss him at every turn. like losing limb There
| are new faces scenes to fill up the gap.
There is always an empty berth in the orecastle and
one man wanted when the small night watch is
tered. There 10 one less to take the wheel, and
less TO lay out with you upon the yard. You miss his
form and the sound of his voice, for habit had made
them almost necessary to you, and each OF your
feels the loss.
All these things make such death peculiarly So
Tenn, and the effect Of il remains upon the crew for
some time. There is no Kindness shown by the Off
GERS to the crew, and by the to one another.
There is more quietness and seriousness The oath
and loud laugh gone. The officers are more
watchful and the crew go more carefully aoh. The
lost man is seldom mentioned, OF is dismissed with a
rude eulogy-" Well, poor George is gone His
cruise is up soon! he knew his work, and did his
duty and was good shipmatc." Then usually fol-
lows some allusion to another world, for sailors
almost all unbelicvers; but their notions and opinions
are unfixed and at loose ends. They say'God Won't
be hard upon the poor fellow and seldom get beyond
the common phrase which seems to imply that their
suffer,ngs and hard treatment here will excuse them
hereaiier,-"fo work hard, live hard and 20 hell
after all, would be hard ndeedl" Our cook, a SIM
pie sheared old African who had be N through good
deal in his day, and rather seriously Inclined al
ways going to church twice day when on shore and
read his Bible Sunday the gallery talked to the
crew about spending their Sabbaths badly, and told
them that they might 60 suddenly as George had,
and be as Little prepared.
Yet sailors lite is at best but mixture of good
with much evil, and little pleasure with much pain
The beautiful is linked with the revolving the sublime
the common place, and the solemn with the ludcrous.

USE OF THE BAROMETER.

]. The rising of the mercury presages, in general,
fair weather, and in falling, foul weather rain snow,
high winds, and storms.
,. In hot weather especially if the wind is south,
the sudden falling Of the mercury foreells thunder
3. In winter the rising indicates frost and in ros-
ty weather ii the mercury falls three four divisions
there will follow ihaw; but if it rises in continued
frost, snow may be expected.
4. When foul weather happens after the fall
of the mercury, it will not be of long duration nor
TO expect a continuance Of fair weather, when
it succeeds the rising of the quicksilver.
5. If in foul weather the mercury rises considerably
and continues rising for two three days before the
foul weather is over, continuance of fair weather
may be expected TO follow.
g. In fair weather, when the mercury falls much
and low, and continues falling for two or three days
before rain cones, much wet must be expected and
probably high winds.
T. The unsettled motion Of the mercury indicates
changcable weather.
g. Respecting the words engraved tho register
plate of the barometer il may be observed that they
cannot be strictly relied upon TO correspond exactly
with the state of the weather though il will in gene
raj agree with them to the mercury rising and
falling The words deserve TO be particularly noticed
when the mercury removes from changeable' up
wards those the lower part should be adverted
to when the mercury falls from changeable down
wards.

RURAL SCENERY IN CHUsAN, IN CHINA
Here and there as if dropped at random upon the
peeping through their thick foliage, the roofs of
houses and temples diversified the scene.
Amongst many of the beautiful groves of trees
which here invite the wanderer to repose, spots
are selected as the resting places of mortality !;
and gazing on these tranquil scenes where the
sweet climatis and fragrant flowers help TO deco

The natives of this Island do
not inter their dead in the southern provinces;
but the corpse is placed upon the ground in
wooden coffin, covered with lid easily removed
highly polished, round which the wild flowers

boxes were the first article that met the eye in
