A LARGHABLE NorlcG.-We are in
debted to the Warrcntown On. c. News
for the following advertisement. Which
was posted up in a tavern in Newb"rn
while the legislature was in session in
that place.
Mine host, it seems, was an honest
we'll meaning fellow, who had received
the idea that the members were the very
salt of the earth, and had listened to the
complaints OF some of them, relative to
the doings Of a few wilder characters,
who did not belong to their fraternity.
Here is the notice which he posted in
the most conspicuous place in the house.
Look here! The following rules OF
order will be hereafter observed in this
Hotcl:-Alembers of the assembly will
60 to the table first and the gentleman
afterwards"
After reading it over he did not cx-
actly like it. 1t didn't say anything
about rowdics and backgrounds, so to
caution them particularly he added:
"Nota Bene.--RoN dies and black
guards will please not mix with the
members, as it is hard to tell one from
the other"

particulars respecting Nacouyer's Island.
One thousand four hundred and seventy
eight acres of land have been sold to
eleven persons; the Fur Trade of the
Company We're in possession of 1854
acres, part of which they have sold to
their retired servants. The Puget Sound
Company have provided four farms to
employ emigrant on their first arrival.
The Rudson's Bay and Puget's Sound
Companies have, at their own expense,
sent out 81 males, so women and 81
children since 1875. These emigrants
were mostly agricultural laborers under
engagement. One thousand three hun
dred and fifteen tons of coal had been
collected by the Indians, from the sur
face seams, and had been exported by
the Company. The Company had in
Cured considerable expense in boring
for coal without success, until lately,
when promising appearances had been
discovered about so miles north of Fort

When round the weary traveller
The stormy evening closes,
When tangled wood or swelling stream
His tolisome way opposes;
If through the trees his eager steps
To rest and warmth are beckoned,
How gladly will he hail my first,
That leads him to my second.
When from some hills commanding brow
The gloomy prospect viewing,
He hears the distant ocean rage,
Waves. frightened waves pursuing,
How gladly turns he to my whole,
In watch serene abiding.
And fears no more to think OF those
Who trust my faithful guiding.

March Birds.

by ERAsTUs W. ELLSWORTH.
Though blasts OF March are rearing high,
And clouds run races through the sky,
And wealhercocks are yeXcd TO know
Which way 10 point the winds that blow.
Aud in the snow-lrift on the hill
Winter is hid in ambush still,
Thou, little BIRD, with faithful wing,
Hast staked Thy life upon Spring
Hast come, so full OF faith possessed,
Winds luie but thine outer breast.
Perched on the garden talest pear,
Because, last year, thy nest was there,
Thy song is Of a quitt,un
Unto the halcyon days fJune.
My life has many n austy sigh,
To blow the clouds otmcmory;
And my poor brain is veXed TO know
What way my feet had better 20;
And IN a veslurc white aud chill
Sorrow is hid in ambush still;
But still my heart shall strive to sing,
And stake its life upon Spring.
My heart, with constant faith possessed,
Shall keep quiet inner breast.
In season haunts, though blown and bare,
Because its last years love was there,
My heart sha sing quiet tune
into the Laicyon days of June.

TIE ,NtELSTRON.

The maelStrom Is Il current or motion
OF the sea Of Norway. the effects Of
which are no less n-ular than danger
Gus. Between the Lofodrn and Mosk-
oe islands, the depth of water is between
thlrty-siy and forty tathoms, when it is
flood. The stream runs up the country
with fearful rapidity, and the roar of its
impetuous ebb towards the sea, scarcely
eqnalled by the loudcst cataracts, the
noise being heard several leagues oil,
and the vortex SO powerful as TO absorb
every ship that comes within its attrac-
ton. The ship is then beaten to pieces
against the bottom, and when the water
is smoother its fragments are thrown no
again. But these intervals of tranquil
ty happen only at the turn of thu ebb
and flow, and last but a quarter of an
hour. Whales often come too near the
stream, and are ovcrpowerpd bv its vio-
lcnce. 1t is then impossible to describe
their howIings and beliowings, in their
trnltless attempts to diSrngage thcm-
selves. A bear once attempted to swim
from Lofodcn to MosIiop, to prey upon
the sheep in that island. but was caught
by the stream and borne down, whpn h.
roared SO terribly as to be heard on
shore. In the year 1915 the stream
roared with such noise and imp"tuositv,
that on the island of Moskoe the very
stones of the houses fell to the ground.
