Remarkable Phenomenon.


On the 18th ult., at Two Heart River,
on the southern shore of Lake Superior,
land suddenly rose out of the water.-
The new island is round, and about one
hundred and fifty feet in circumference,
and is raised above the water six feet, and
the rise on the beach, which is wide at
this place, is about the same size, and
resembles a hillock Of sand. The new
island was at first discovered with sand
and pebbles, like the bottom Of the lake,
but the waves have dashed over it since,
and washed it down TO black clay. The
water was about five feet deep where the
island was formed, and the boat had pass
ed over the very spot not FIVE minutes be-
fore its formation. A few rods from the
beach, on the rise of ground, a great de-
preston Of the earth occurred, as obser-
vable as the upheaving in the water. A
circular spot OF ground, some fifty rods in
circumference, covered with trees, sud-
denly disappeared TO the depth Of twenty
feet below the surface. No agitation of
the earth, or noise, occurred, and the
cause must have been much less power>
full than the internal commissions of the
earth that usually accompany such phe>
nOmena.

A Musical Church Clock.

The Charleston Courier gives the fol-
lowing account of curious piece of me.
chanism in St. Phillips Church in that
city -
From the tasteful steeple Of this beau
tltul edltce, we now, at intervals, have
tones of sweet music, emanating from ma
chinery attached to the clock manufacture
ed by Mr.. f. Stein, of our city. The
clock was presented to the congregation
of this church, by Collin Campbell, ESQ,
of Beaufort, S. c., and is masterpiece
Of art, highly creditable TO the mechanical
ingenuity of Nj. Stein. 1t is a thirty
hour time piece, chimes the quarter hours
with four hammers on four different bells,
and strikes the hour on the largest of
set of bells, eleven in number, the weight
of which is near 5000 pounds. The
movement Of the machinery plays three
pieces of music at three different intervals
during the twenty-four hours, viz: We'll
come our day of rest" "Greenands lev
Mount" and 'Home, Sweet Home.''-
These tunes ale played with sweetness
OF note and regularity, that would do
credit to parlor music box. A frame
work has been erected, as we are inform
ed, with the aid of which other pieces of
music can be performed A friend has
suggested that Two or three extra cylin-
ders, provided by the vestry, would give
variety to the music, and crafty our mu-
sic-lovlng community. Mr.. Stein has
given evidence of much talent in the con-
struction of this clock, and also in other
pieces of mechanism. When the work
is entirely finished, the dials will be ilu-
minated at night, and it will be not only
an ornament, but a highly useful work to
the citizens generally.

Vulgarity.

We would guard the young against the
use of every word that is not perfectly
proper. Use no profane expressions-al~
Jude TO no sentence that will put to blush
the most sensitive. You know not the
tendency of habitually using indecent
and profane language; it may never be
obiterated from your hearts. When YOU
grow up you will find it at your tongues
end Some expression which you would
not use for any money. 1t was one you
learned when quite young. By being
careful. you will save yourself deal Of
modification and sorrow. Good men
have been taken sick and become deliri-
Gus. In these moments they have used
the most vile and indecent language in
aginable. When informed of it after
restoration of health, they had no idea Of
the pain they had given their friends, and
stated they had learned and repeated the
expressions in their childhood, and though
years had passed since they had used such
words, the early impressions had been in
delibly stamped upon the heart. Think
of this, We who are tempted to use i'm
proper language, and never disgrace your
selves.

You will find it extremely pleasant and
healthy house to live in, said Brick, the
agent, as he had led US, few days ago,
through vacant house up town. "Ex>
celIent and roomy cellars" continued he,
dry as bone; step down and look at
them"
And down we went, and discovered to
Bricks surprise, that there were some six
inches of water over the whole floor, and
looking as if it had been there long time.
1t took US but moment to express an
opinion that such an arrangement would
not at all answer our purpose: bu. we
had not concluded, before Brick recover
ed his self-possession, and laugingly init
mated THAT it was altogether an oversight
on his part, the cellars not being gener-
ally at all damp, and not liable to be over
flowed by the ad jacent water-pipes though
present appearances looked nightly like
it. But" said he, growing confident in
our credulity, "this water was put here
for the accommodation of the last tenant,
he was an odd genius, and prevailed on
me to provide him with pond"

Cool.

A Scotch paper tells the following an
ecdote Of shrewd pedlar, who appears
to go a note beyond even the mass of his
own countrymen in the prudence and fore
sight with which he anticipates and pro-
vides for calamitous emergencies. 1t
would be hard to hunt up Yankee, who
has evinced so MUCK calculation -
A pedlar we'll known in our Highland
districts, buried lately his second wife
Being one of those who think it no part
of wisdom TO embilter the present with
recollections of the past, he soon turned
from bewaiIing the dead TO addressing the
living. He picked out a neighboring
spins,er as well suited for being his third
mistress, and lost no time in making his
desires known. Jenny it seems cooked
her nose at the offer; and John leaving
her to her fancy, departed, saying, "Weel,
weel; a the world does not think like
you" which was quite true. Before
reaching home the pedlar met more
compliant fair one. Jenny, in the mean
time reflected on the dangerous conse-
quence which would likely result from her
ruse, and resolved in future to be more
kind alas, in vain! Next day, as the
pedlar was passing by, Jenny called him
in and stated her contrition for the hard
words of yesterday. John heard her
through, then replied, "Weel, weel; Pm
owre far on wi anither ane now to think
af gaen back; but if she happens to be
nae lang liver, I'll no forget TO make you
my fourth wife"

nskh;nr of a Fancy Sketch, but too near the truth
make much fun Of
/ see him at the case,
With his anxious, cherries face
Worn and brown;
And the types unceasing click,
As they drop within his stick,
Seems of Life's old clock the tick,
Running down.
Years, years away have flown,
And the printer long I've known,
Boy and man;
Time was when step clate
Distinguished his gate,
And his form was tall and straight,
We now scan.
You could see Linn every day,
As he passed along the way
To his toll;
He labored might and main,
A living scant to gain,
And some interest small attain
In the soil.
And hope was high at first,
And the golden cheat he nursed,
Till he found
That hope was but glare
In cold and frosty air,
And the promise, pictured fair,
Barren ground.
He neer was reckon'd bad,
But I've seen him smile right glad
At "leaded' woes,
While corresponding frown
Would spread his features round
1t 'twere "c1oSe.''
Long years he's labored on,
The morning hues are gone
From his sky;
For others are his hours,
For others are his powers,
And his days, like passing showers
Fitting by.
You can see him, night by night,
By the lamps dull, dreary light,
Standing there,
With cobweb curtains spread
In festoons DER his head,
That sooty showers shed
In his hair.
And when the waning moon
Proclaims of night the noon,
If you roam,
You may see him, weak and frail,
As his weary steps do fail,
In motion like snail,
Vending home.
His form by years is bent,
To his hair tinge is lent
Sadly grey;
And his teeth are sore decayed,
And his eyes their trust betrayed
Great havoc time has made
With his clay.
But soon will come the day,
When his form will pass away
From our view,
And the spot shall know no more
The sorrows that he bore,
Nor the disappointments sore
lie bid adieu,
