The Frozen Crew.

There are fearful wonders upon the
ocean-wonders in the tempest and in
the calm; in the tropical heat and in
the cold Of the frozen seas. Thousands
and tens of thousands go down into the
deep and are seen no more forever
A more fearful fate has befallen a thou
sand sons of the ocean. as.tava5s
Long before the idea of the existence
of the new world was contemplated
by the Europeans, the northern seas
had been traversed in every direction
by the daring ree.booters the North,
who often bore the title of the Kings
of the Seas. They had discovered
Iceland, and the settlement there forms
ed, became an ASYLUM for the hosts ol
the northern men who we're driven
from Scandinavia, by the gradual APP
proach of the southern civilization. in
time Iceland also sent forth her colo
MES, and early in the tenth century eff
fected settlement on the coast OF
Greenland. 1t long languished for the
want of sufficient population; at length
in 1888, Erick Raud, an Iceland chief
tain, fitted out an expedition Of twenty
five gallies at Snefel, and being mann
ed with sufficient crews ofcolonists, set
forth from Iceland, bound to what ap-
peared to them "a more congenial cli-
mate. They sailed upon the, ocean
for fifteen days and saw no land. The
next day brought with ii a storm, and
many a gallant vessel sunk in the deep.
Mountains ofice covered the sea as
far as the eve could reach and but few

From the Buffalo National Pilot.
Will SaltDetre EXDlOdo?

Since the great fire in, New York,
and, the disastrous explosion which
took place there, the papers Of that and
other cities have been much devoted
to queries, suggestions and theories re-
specling the qualities and nature Of
saltpetre and whether, under any cir
cumstances, and if any, what, that sub.
stance can be made to explode. All
this. of course, had its origin in the fact
that the store which was blown up was
known to-, contain large quantity Of
Of saltpetre, and was not known to con-
tain any gunpowder. R,stt
We have watched the discussions,
and waded through the ponderous col
umns of matter upon this subject, with
no small degree of interest; and this
we have done from conviction of the
high importance Of the question to the
public; since it is manifest to all, that,
If this substance can be made explosive
under circumstances such as ordinarily
pertain. to fires, it should promptly be
put under such prescription as shall
save towns and cities from its direful
effects.
The analysis of this substance does
not produce explosive substances, say
the chemists; and this fact, with the
other one, namely, that it has some-
times burned, as has been believed,
with explosions of the most violent
kind, has served. to involve the whole
question in the most positive state Of
uncertainty. From this state, we have
seen nothing which appears 10 so near
ly extricate the whole subject from diff
ficulty, as the statement Of Mr.. A. "A.
HAYEs, chemist, Of Roxbury,s Mass.
That statement we find in the Boston
papers, and supposing it a. reliable ono.
based upon experiment, and not theory,
ii may guide US to the desired solution

gaines OF fleet escaped destruction.
The morning of the seventeenth day
was clear and eloudless. The sea was
calm and far away to the north could
be seen the glare of the ice-fe!d re.
flected on the sky. r3 "a jaat
The remains Of the shattered flee,
gathered together to pursue their voy.
age. But the galley of Erick was moi
with them. The crew of a galley tina,
was driven farther down than the rest
reported that as the morning broke,
the huge fields of ice that had covered
the ocean, were driven by the current
past them. and they beheld the galley
of Erick Raud, borne by resistless
force and the speed of the wind before
a tremendous fake Office. Her crew
had lost all control over her--the,
were tossing their hands in wild ago
ny. Scarcelya a moment elapsed Be-
fore it was walled in by hundred ice
hills, and the whole mass moved for.
ward and was soon lost beyond the no.
rizon. That the galley of the nara,
tors escaped was indeed wonderful. Ii
remained, however, uncontradicted,
and the vessel of Raud was never more
seen.
Half a century after this Danish
colony was established upon the west.
ern coast Of Greenland. The crew o.
the vessel that carried colonists thither
in their excursions into the interior
crossed a range Of hills that stretched
to the northward. They had approach,
ed perhaps nearer to the pole than any
succeeding adventurers. Upon lock,
ing down from the summit OF the hills
they beheld vast and almost inter-
minable field oil ice, undulating in va.
rious places, and formed into a thou.
sand grotesque shapes. They saw not
far from the shore the figure Of an ice
vessel with a glittering icicle for mas,
rising from it. Curiosity prompted
them to approach, when they beheld q
dismal sight. Figures Of men in every
attitude Of wo were upon the deck
but they were icy things. One figure
alone stood erect, and with folded arms
leaned against the mast. A hatche1
was procured and the ice split away,
and the figure off chieltain disclosed
paid and deathly, but free from decay
This was doubtless the vessel and tha
figure the form Of Erick Raude. Be
numbed with cold and in the agony o
despair, his crew had fallen around him
He alone had stood erect while tn,

Lily, Or the Bride Of the Grave.

bough." IL. ,-s 55
More like a bright May morning than
like any thing Of earth, was Lily Ross,
little dainty creature, just skipping
out of seventeen, with face Of smiles
and sunlight. Not the bounding OF the
tame deer in the park was lighter than
her footstep--not the deep blue Of the
spring sky more clear than the heaven
other eye--not the delicate tinge ofthe
blush rose more fair than the hue of her
rcheek--not the voice Of the south wind
when it says Summer is born" more
sweet than the girlish music Of Lily

a song, from the hall to the garden on
her bridal morning. ~F2
