TREMENDOUS EARTHoUAKE IN

NAPLEs.-Tt0o Thousand Fire HIM
dred LfseS LoSt.--On the 14th of Au-
gust, the western portion of the King
dom of Naples was shaken by several
heavy shocks of earthquake. The
convulsion is supposed to have had its
origin in Mount Volture, a volcano
about one hundred miles TO the south
east of Naples
The city of Melfi, near to Mount
Volture, which contained about ten
thousand inhabitants, was prostratcd
ut the first shock, nothing but few
crumbing walls remaining. A large
number of its inhabitants were buried
in the ruins and at latest accounts
seven hundred dead bodies had been
found, and hundreds more were wing
in the hospitals, suffering from griev-
Gus wounds
The neighbouring towns of Atella.
Rionero, Bacile, and Rapolla, are
sufferers by tha same convulsion. Ri
onero is general wreck, rot sound
house remaining-more than u hun
dred persons have perished, and as
many have been manned or wounded
In Bacile, the only edificc not entirely
destroyed is the orphan asylum, while
the discovered dead amount to about
one hundred and fifty. In the com>
mune Of Bari, the towns of Gerato,
Minervino, Spinazola, Andria and
Trani were all injured more or less.
In Canosa, the ancient Canosium,
founded by Diomed, and whose walls
once enclosed a circuit OF sixteen miles,
three hundred and seventy.six houses
were thrown down At the last re.
ports the shocks around Mount Volture
continued, and one-half of the city of
Venosa, tie ancient VenuSia, contain
ing six thousand inhabitants. and cele-
brated as the birth place of Horace,
was destroyed. The mountain pro-
vinces of the Abruzzi and of Calabria,
where the earthquake Of 1882 de-
stroyed lhree hundred cities and buried
thirty thousand human beings, have
thus tar escaped.
The recent earthquake commenced
with sharp concussion, which was
succeeded by an undulatory movement,
the first shock being sbout sixty Sc
conds in duration AT Meli there
were six shocks.
The whole country is in state of
alarm, and every eye is directed to
mount Vesuvius as the safety valve
through which the su5terranean fires
and steam may find vent; and it is
generally supposed that an eruption i,
imminent.
Il is a curious fact that the appa-
rently extinct volcanoes often produce
the greatest devastation. Vesuvius
was silent for an immemorial period
down 10 A. d. 70, the date of the de
struction of Herculanaum and Pom
peii. After long interval Of slumber,
Mount Epomeo in Ischi, burst out, A.
d. 1891, and covered the whole island
with deluge of lava; and in 1888.
Monte Nuevo, in the Mampi Phlegraei,
in thirty-six hours rose from the
bowels Of the earth 10 a height of four
hundred and forty feet, near the site
of an old crater. The Solfaterra, in
the same vicinity, continues to smoke,
while the twenty-six craters around it,
specifically Judging, are extinct.
The loss Of human life by this dread
ful calamity is estimated at not less
than two thousand five hundred per-
sons, and every effort is being made
by the proper authorities to investigate
the evils. Government itself has
contributed ten thousand ducats to
relieve the survivors.

. SLEEP.-There is no better descrip-
ton given of the approach of sleep
than that which We find in one Of
Leigh Hunts papers:
lit is delicious moment certain
ly, that Of being well nestled in bed,
and feeling that you shall drop gen.
tly to sleep. The good is to come,
not past; the limbs have been just
tired enough to render the n emaining
in one posture delightful; the labor
Of the day is done. A gentle failure
of the perceptions comes creeping
over; the spirit Of conscious ness dis
engages itself more, and with slow
and hushing degrees, like mother
detaching her hand from that Of her
sleeping Child, the mind seems to
have a balmy lid closing over it; It's
now closing It's closed. The mys-
terlous spirit has gone to take it's
airy rounds"

Res.cue.

Notlong since, while passing near sandbank,
we saw little boy shovlling sand with all bis
might and upon nearer approach discovered
two legs projecting, upward the body almost
buried out of sight. We were alarmed az
such spectacle and lost no time in dragging
the little fellow from his perilous situation,
nearly exhausted, where be could not
have remained much longer without perishinQ.
After the excitement had partially abated We
herd from the boys the pilifBl reason for the
act. It appeared there had been three play
mates, who had spent most Of their time toQetb-
er; that one had removed to another part Of
village leaving these two to pass their play
hours in what they considered solitude. IN
order to remedy this they formcds plan for
increasing their number. It appeared simple
to them. One was to be planted, leaving bis
legs out of Che ground, from which two boys
vould grow and restore their former number
The one planted had volunteered to be the
victim of transportation. His part was 70 dig
the hole and crawl in,and the other cover him

ferance, but after familiar dissertion on cause
and effect the boys became reconciled to Us.

The course Of YOuthfuI Crime

The execution of young '2haroah,' at the
early age of twenty, for the crime of murder
ing young woman for the sake of her gold
watch, ought to furnish a lesson for the i'm
proved education of the young, and their en-
ployment in useful industry. that will place
them above the temptations offdIenesspoverty
or want Stephen Girard left his immense
fortune Of seven millions of dollars chiefly to
secure to orphan youth sound moral educa-
ton, and the means of future independence,
by binding them out to a trade Statesmen
sages, and philanthropists, in all ages, have la
bored to provide poor youth with the means
of subsistence through honest industry, and
giving them a control over their passions by
wise and proper moral instruction in early
life.
In his letter to his mother, Just previous to
his execution, Pharoah expressed bis sorrow
that he did not go back to his employer, and
stay his time out;' from which we may infer
that he thought such course of conduct
would have saved him from this revolving
crime. Leaving his employer, and refusing
TO return when advised to do SO by his moth
er, were the obvious causes that plunged him
into guilt; for the old saying has been fully
