About o'clock on Wednesday night last,
the ship Gloucester, Capt. Easterbrook, ly-
ing in the harbor ready for sea, was discov-
cred to be on fire. The alarm was imme-
|diately given, and the fire was found to arise
from lot of pulu, "a moss for beds) slowed
Immediately under the main hatch. 1t soon
spread, and threatened to involve the whole
ship and cargo in destruction, but after
Twelve hours severe labor, and owing to the
skill and cool conduct of the commander,
ably seconded by the other captains and Of
icers then in port, as we'll as by the resi-
dents from shore, it was subducd, without
hny material damage to the vessel. Some
kimbers we're destroyed, and the deck much
tnured. The bulk Of the cargo, consisting
pf sugar, molasses and tea was slowed in the
power hold and escaped damage. The wa
Yer poured into the ship between decks, from
he fire engines, occasioned some damage in
hat quarter, but the total amount is not
nown. How the fire originated is not as
, ct known, but the accident will detain the
Shp for some time.

mingled with regret at the soon expected de-

rounded the social board The sentiments
and speeches, which were many, were such

praise to say that the guests left highly graf

The Miller.

A jealous young minister, when
entering on his parish was told of a
miller, who, with more than usual of
the bravery of profaneness, had re-
PEELED every attempt to approach him
on the subject Of religion, and had
daunted all the hopes and efforts of
the few serious persons in his vicini-
ty. Among other practices of sinful
daring, he uniformly kept his mill,
the most striking object III the ham
let, going on the Sabbath. In a little
time, the clergyman determined to
make an effort for the benefit of the
hopeless man. He undertook the of
flee of going for his flour the next
time himself "a fine MILL" said
he, as the miller adjusted his sack to
receive the flour; "a fine mill, indeed,
one of the completest | have ever
seen" This was nothing more than
just-the miller had heard it g th0us-
and times before: and would firmly
have thought it, though he had never
heard it once; but his skill and judg-
ment were still gratifed by this new
testimony, and his feelings concilia-
ted even towards the minister. But,
oh!' continued his customer, after a
little pause, "there is one defect in
tp "What is that?" carelessly ask
ed the miller, "A very serious defect
too" "Eh!" replied the miller, turn
ing up his face A defect that is
likely to counterbalance all its ad-
vantagesF" "Well what is it?" said
the miller standing straight up, and
looking the clergyman in the face.
The minister went on: "A defect
which is likely to ruin the mill''
What is it 2" rejoined the miller
"And will one day, 40 doubt, destroy
the owner" "And can't you say it
out" exclaimed the impatient miller
ut goes on the Sabbath" pronounced
the minister, in firm, and solemn,
and monitory tone The astonished
man stood blank and thunderstruck
and remained meek and submissive
under a remonstrance and exhorta-
ton of an hours length, in which the
danger of his state, and practices, and
the call to repentance towards God,
and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ
were fully proposed to him.

Sum Stroke.

Doctor Dowler has kindly permit
ted US to make the following extract
from his medical notes, describing the
appearance of the lungs of two men
who died last week from sun stroke:
NEARLY the whole of the lungs
were dark, and injected with blood
The central and posterior parts pre-
sented the appearance of large clot
of blood, somewhat solid and united
by texture bearing no resemblance
to the light, elastic texture natural to
healthy lungs. On cutting off sew
eral slices, they looked like dense
black Jelly, the cut surfaces appear
ing smooth and glossy. There was
no recending of the substance before
the knife. 1t must have been utter
ly impermeable to air-indeed on
COMPRISING the part of the lungs SO
affected, it broke into fragments like
clots. These barely swan in water,
but sunk in alcohol Even after a
thorough soaking, they presented
smooth surface when cut.
Every dissection | have made,
since 1899. in these cases, confirms me
in the opinion which | then formed,
that sun-stroke kills by apoplexy of
the lungs and not of the brain.-N-

E1's. and Q'S.

The origin of the phrase, /" Mind your P's
and Q's." is not generally known. In alehou.
ses, where chalk scores were formerly marked
upon the wall, it was customary to put these
initial letters at the head of every mans ac-
count, to show the number of PintS and Quarts
for which he was in arrears; and we may pre-
sumo many friendly rustic TO have tapped his
neighbour on the shoulder, when he was In
dulgng too freely in his potations, and TO have
exclaimed as he pointed to his score---" Giles,
Giles, mind your P's. and Qs.---Ral. Register.

of scandal; and those who drink the deepest
from it are the most given to gossipln.. Old
maids, for instance, will drink bohea, of sutfl-

Perhaps, my friends, you may say there is no
use in my preaching thus; for if woman's
tongue is made long by Nature, ahe can be
guilty of no fault, but only subjected 10 misfor-
tune. | don't mean to blame her for what she
cannot help-an occasional overflow of loquaci'
ty; but | want to give her good dose OF admo,
milton with respect to a0hat she talks, and hou
she talks She must recollect that words are
as slippery as live eels; and when they have

der cloud bursts up at the climax OF It's black
ness, and unwonted sunshine Immediately sue
ceeds; yet still it casts gloomy shade for a
time over life's happy hours, and threatens de-
struction, though it may accomplish but little.
My dear hearers although mems tongues
are shorter, in proportion, than those ofthe wo-
men, and are slower in their movements, yet
believe they are capable of doing much harm,
and are often vulgarly, sinGully and prolansly
employed They are levers, in the mouths OF
many, that assist them in putting out oaths as
big as bushel basket, and as horrible as they
are bulky. Some mems tongues are constantly
coated with the thick scum of vice-others are
only stained with tobacco-uice and treachery-
while few there are, that are kept perfectly
clean by the pure and unadulterated saliva of
truth and virtue. 0, my dear friends, one and
all! pray you keep tight rein on that furious
wilderness of unrestraint, and dash your vehi-
ces of happiness down the precipice of perdi-
ton; pitching hopes golden treasures into the
dark, deep ocean of Despair And oh; ye moth
ers! look into the mouths ofyour prattlng babes,
and see whether any symptoms of the tongue
all are beginning to be developed. Watch over
them steadily, and teach them to lisp the words
of truth and sincerity for they may be called
into eternity in their swaddlings, and cause a
black mark to be set against your names in the
book of life. Yes, the very cradles in which
they are now sleeping may turn out to be cof-
fins on rockers, soon 10 be overspread with the
white mantle Of death.
Ny hearers--having shown you about half
the length of my tongue, the whole of womans,
and the tip end of mans in general, have nos
thing more TO say; excepting that we shall all
soon be obliged to hold our tongues in the silent
supulchre; beyond which we may indulge in
some delightful cogtations--but no talking.
So mote it be!-N. Y. Sunday Mercury.

POETRY.
The Lapse of Time.
BY wM. c. BRYANT.


Lament who will, in frutless tears
The speed with which our moments fly.
sigh not over vanished years,
But watch the years that hasten by.
Look! how they come-a mingled crowd
OF bright and dark, but happy days;
Beneath them, like summer cloud,
The wide world changes as | gaze.
What! grieve that Time has brought SO soon
The sober age of manhood on!
As idly might weep at noon
To see the blush of morning gone.
Gould forego the hopes that glow
In prospect like Elysian isles,
And let the charming future 60,
With all her promises and smiles.
The future! cruel were the power
Whose doom would tear thee from my heart
Thou sweetner of the present hour:
We cannot, no we will not part.
o, leave me still the rapid flight
That makes the changing seasons gay,
The grateful speed that brings the night,
The swift and glad return of day;
The months that touch with added grace,
This little prattler at my knee,
In whose arch eye and speaking face
New meaning every hour see;
The years that DER each sister land
Shall lift the country ofmy birth,
And nurse her strength till she shall stand
The pride and pattern of the earth;
Till younger commonwealth, for aid,
Shall cling about her ample robe,
And from her frown shall shrink afraid
The crowned oppressors of the globe.
True, time will seam and blanch my brow;
Well shall sit with aged men,
And my good glass will tell me how
A grisly beard becomes me then.
And should no foul dishonor lie
Upon my head when am gray,
Love yet shall watch my fading eye,
And smooth the path of my decay.
Then haste, thee, Time; it's kindness all
That speeds thy winged feet 50 fast;
Thy pleasures stay not till they pail,
And all thy pains are quickly past.
Thou fiest and bears away our woes;
And as thy shadowy trains depart,
The memory of sorrow grows
A lighter burden on the heart.
