Il is rumored also that boat with six
persons on toard, was eapsized during the

About the same time an awful catastrophe

were on board eight perished. Captain
Barras, who stood over the boiler, was
blown high into the air. Mr.. Terrien had

The Revolt Of the Stars.

Far up in the dim unfathomable immens-
ity Of space, where even the ambitious fancy
OF Garth born souls has not reached, where
science has but family urod in lis widest
dreams of the azure pathway OF unknown
worlds Of light, there gtimmers and spark
les host OF bright stars.
And among the angels that inhabt the
happy hereafter, of which we hear so much,
We. know so little, there runneth singular
legend Of these stars.
The legend came TO earth upon the lips Of
a stray angel, which for the sake Of for II
while mingling with mortal, transformed
itself into a spirit of life, which became the
soul of new born infant, and when the fair
haired child became man this seraph soul
though laden with memories Of human fraiI-
ties, remember the legend,
And this was the legend--thus was the
legend:
"When the Creator rested upon the sew
enth day, after forming and breathing exis-
tence into this beautiful world of ours, he
felt weary and with the vast blue space,
in which hisvast creation rolled, for a coach,
he gathered these unknown stars about
him to triIl anthems upon their harps OF
light"
The stars murmured at this, for they en-
We'd their sister plants who had been APP
pointed as sentin6ls over earth, as they
wished to be tEeretoo, but they dared moi
di sobey his commands. Yet he knew o!
their envy---he knew they were discontcnted
and this voice came to them:
"Ye are unhappy because your fairer sis
ters are gazing down upon the newly Gre
ated world--upon that world which is but
star like yourself--a star looked upon by
other worlds which have created are this
Ye are not happy"
/ And the stars whispered low and sweety,
vet sadly, "Oh, Creator, we will submit to
thy will, yet you whoknowest us must know
we are not happy"
The blue heaven upon which the Creator
rested trembled, and when they looked toi
him he was gone. But an echo floated past
past them upon a golden c'oud. made
golden by the reflection Of their radien
tears; and the echo and, "seven o
thy number shall be known to the sous or
earth--seven of thy number only shall beam
from your cells Of glory upon the new orb
and in af'e time one Of the seven shall dis
appear and be known no more"
The stars twinkIed upon each other, anc
their tears of sorrow, that fell at partin 9
with their sisters, became meteors that raineC
through air, Lighting the seven to their new
homes.
And the wise men Of the earth, wher
they beheld them, called them sthe Pleads ;
They seemed glorious in their distance from
the eyes of mortals. Ages rolled on an,
one of them, the eldest, faded from tn,
cir:le--faded to come no more, forever
and when it was lost, then the sister stars
that were left behind knew they were pun
ished for their envy. Their revolt lost fo
them their brightest, fairest companion :
but Repentance came and redeemed it afte
time, and their lost sister is now gen
glittering upon the brow Of Elohim.

The White Slave Of London.

Several correspondents of the Times have
lately been engaged in depicting the shame

of the writers proposed that the ladies of
England with the Duchess Of Sutherland dt
their head, should refuse TO give their pa
tronage TO any house in which the twelve

The Times thus sketches the scenes ofmis-
cry which exists in the most fashionable
quarters OfLuxurious London The young
female slaves OF whom we speak are worked
in gangs in i'll ventilated rooms, or rooms
that are not ventilated at all, for it is found
by experience, that if air be admitted, it
brings with it ''blacks" of another kind,
which damage the work upon which the
seamstresses are employed.
"Their occupation is to sew from morning

served out to them is scanty and miserable

than their fevered system can digest We
do not, however, wish to make out case ot
