Study Wen, Not Books.

Oh, but books are such safe company They
keep your secrets well they never boast that they
made your eyes glisten, Or your cheek flush, or
your hearts throb. You may take up your favor
ite author, and love him at distance, just
warmly as you like, for all the sweet fancies and
glowing thoughts that have winged your lonely
hours so feetly and sweety. Then you may
close the book, and lean your cheeks against the
cover, as if it were the face of friend, shut your
eyes and solioquize to your hearts content, with
out misconstruction, even though you should ex-
claim in the fulness of your enthusiasm, what an
adorable soul that man has You may put the
volume under your pillow, and let your eye and
the first ray of morning light fall on it together,
and no Argus eye shall rob you of that delicious
pleasure, no carping old maid, or straight laced
Pharisee shall cry out, "It isn't proper !'' You
may have thousand petty, provoking, irritating
annoyances through the day, and you shall come
back again to your dear old book, and forget them
all in dream-and. 1t shall be friend that shall
be always at hand, that shall never try you by ca
price, or pain you by forgetfulness, or wound you
by distrust.
"Study men! !" ,1a
Well, try it once l don't believe there is
any neutral territory where that interesting study
can be pursued as it should be. Before you get

DeDsh of the Ocean.

Capt. Denham, of the British Navy, has pre-
sented communication to the Royal Society on
the depth of the Ocean, and gives an account of
OF sounding in 1906 fathoms of water. The
sounding was obtained on calm day in last Oc-
tober, during the passage Of the ship Herald from
Rio Jareiro to the Cape of Good Hope. The
sounding line was lilo of an inch in diameter,
and when dry weighed l lb to every hundred faith
oms. The plummet was 1-7th of an inch in d-
ameter, IL inches long and weighed nine pounds.
When 7,706 fathoms had run off the reel, the
sea bottom was reached. Capt. Denham stated
that Lieutenant Hutchinson and himself, in sepa.
rate boats, with their own hands, drew the plum
met up so fathoms several times, and after it had
renewed its descent, it stopped abruptly at the
original mark to fathom and would not take an
other turn off the reel The whole time taken by
the plummet in descending to this amazing depth
of 1906 fathoms, or II geographical miles Of so
to degree, was 9 hours and "a minutes and 45
seconds. The highest SUBMITS of the Himalays
are little more than $4,000 feet, At geograph-
ical miles above the sea. The sea bottom has,
depths greatly exceeding the elevation
of the highest pinnacle above its surface. Great
care was taken in the endeavor to bring the plum
met again to the surface, to. show the nature of
the bottom, but while carefully reeling in, the
line broke at 14O fathoms below the water line,
carrying away the thermometer which had been
attached to it at 8 900 fathoms. This sounding is
the deepest that has ever been made.

his manhood. Drunk-drunk for days, and his
wife at home diving; and his children starving.
! Oh! ye who preach so much to wives, ssto make
home beautiful have you no words for husbands!
Oh! women, how long will you witness these
things, and yet plead that men will be your
mastersl The news reached the worthy friends,
and they took her and the children home, and laid
her upon a soft couch, and ministered to her
wants. but it was too late; nature had said it is
enough;' and though the tear tfembled in her
eye, and her hands clasped in prayer, when she
heard the wall of her babe, she prayed that she
might live, live little longer, fer her darling's
sake; still she said Thy will be done,' and
passed away, even in the noontide of her life the
victim of an inebriate husband. Here she lay,
thrty-one years DID, the mother of seven children,
murdered by inches, forced from her high and ho-
ly duty of wife and mother, by the man who had
won her youthful love, and promised at the mar
riage altar to love, cherish and protect.
The minister who made them one, and who but
now had breathed his prayer over her cofin-the
judge of the court who. had given his sanction to
the grog sellers trade-the voters of the law--the
bar-keeper himself--the women who boast of
their private influence, all, all, who had looked
on for years, and seen the wasting, wearing, hor-
rible murder, and now they came and looked at
that cold brow, wreathed with white roses. They
listheied to the aged mothers fearless groans,
and heard the children's fearful cry of &c mother,
mother, mother. Ehey looked into the face Of
that boated, perured, brutalised, ruined husband,
father, murderer, and they shook their heads,
dropped tear perchance, and said, sit is horrible,
and went their way.
But will they arouse to duty and say, these
things shall no longer be!
Slowly, tearfully, we wended our way home
wrrd, and as we sat around the table partaking of
our cold simple, heartfelt meal, told this story
my children.-How Henry W had been bro It
up in the home of wealth, fed from boyhood on
on rich and dainty fare, learned to chew, smoke,
and lastly, through his vtiated appetite to drink,
and now, with poverty, crime andshame upon his
brow, he goes forth almost vagabond upon the
face of the earth, and strangers must for his
children.
pressed itupon my own dear ones that they
live simply, humbly, industriously, stunning all
those things which lead to sin and shame.

she was universally remarked, and all that ener-
gy of purpose no less peculiar to her at all times,
moved within her with irrepressble force, and
suddenly rising from her seat, and sezing me, she
exclaimed in her shrillest tones.
,"Oh, Peter, help help! Oh, Mr.. Duncan"
addressing the sleeping king0 "iook out-git
!'' and then pointing to the astonished Mac
beth, exclaimed: saint you ashamed to sneak on
fellow critter in that way, and try to assassnate
him, you ugly mean man you ?''
These expressions, spoken in all the earnestness
and intensity of Aunt Debby's nature, electrified
Macbeth, caused the sleeping Duncan to open his
eyes in ainazement, and then to join in theg gene
raj laugh which filed the whole house. My feel
ings can be better imagined than described; how
grabbed Aunt Debby, how rushed from the
house with that estimable lady, while the girls
like couple of tenders to locomotive, followed
in my wake, how l bumped myself through the
streets, and how, faint and sick at heart, reach
ed the paternal roof, are all mysteries to me to
this day, but how felt awfully mean, excessive
ly mortified, and most outrageously Mortified, are
matters of stern reality now, and ever will be.
The next morning suddenly found it necessa-
ry to leave home, and would have been pafticu-
larly delighted with an embassy to the Fejee Is
lands. The poor girls were confined to their room,
and refused to see company for month, while
Aunt Debby, to her dying day, firmly believed
that she had saved Duncans life, but to our great
relief, never after expressed desire to visit
the Theatre. - Nashvilze Gaz.

Simple Division.

We heard story the other night on the sub
iect of Division that we thought some' at the
time, and never having seen it in print, we are
tempted to give our readers the benefit of it.
A southern planter named P, pretty well to do
in the world noso was some twenty years ago a
poor boy on the eastern shore Of Maryland. One
of the strongest and most marked traits of his
character was inordinate love of money. This,
however, is characteristic of the people in them
digins, where they practice skinning strangers
during brisk seasons and skinning one another
during dull times. In due course of time P. was
of age, and thought it about time to get married.
He went to a neighboring village, and in the
course of events was introduced to daughter Of
Judge B.
"Dang fine gall said the embryo spectator to
his friends who were gaining him an entrance
among the elite.
Very
"How much might Judge B. be worth?''
"Why, about 10000" was the reply.
How many children has Judge B.a' continu-
ed the enquirer.
Only three.'
Three into ten goes three times and a third
over,' mentally ciphered P. Here was chance
"a glorious chance, and he improved it too. He
made love to the beautiful and unsophisticated
daughter of the Judge with all the variations.
strange to say-for he was as uncouth a looking
cub as ever went unlicked-his suit prospered
and they were married.
The honeymoon passed off, as all other honey
moons do, and they were happy. The bride was
lively and chatty, and often made illusions to her
brothers and sisters. Startled at number oi
