Pearl Fishing off CeylOn.

No sum of money, however large, no
temptation held out sufficiently strong,
would induce the divers to decend into
the ocean, unless two shark charmers
were present, who, as they believe, BY
means of their charms and potent spells,
can prevent the finny monsters of the
deep from injuring the pearl seekers
One of these impoSters goes out in the
pilots boat, and remains at the head of
it, muttering prescribed form OF incan.
talion as each man descends TO brave the
perls Of the vastly deep. The other
shark charmer remains on shore, where
he is shut up in room in a state of nudi.
ty till the boat returns with their divers.
A large brazen bowl is left with him, I'LL
ed with water, in which are placed two
silver fishes, and it is affirmed that the
moment shark appears in the vicinity
of the divers, these fishes agitate the wa
ter, and if an accident is about to hap.
pen, one fish will bite the other. When
he perceives such indications the char
mer Immediately "binds the shark" with
a potent spell. and thus cOmpels the crea.
ture 10 abstain from injuring the divers.
These shark chaImers reap an abundant
harvest during the fishery, as the natives
believe that unless they are literally re-
munerated they will exert their powerful
spells to make the sharks iGjure them, in
stead Of compelling the monsters TO re-
main quiet until the pearl fishery is over.
1t is rather singular that, although sharks
are freqently seen by the divers, an ac'
cident rarely happens, and numberless
fisheries have taken place without sin
gle accident occurring.-Sirr's CeylOn

MELANCHOLY SIGHr.--Dr. Reid, trav-
eler through the Islands OF Peru, is said
to have found lately, in the Desert of Alta
cana, the dried remains Of an assem-.
blage Of beings, FIVE or six hundred in
number, men, women and children, seat
ed in semi. circle as when alive, sta
ring into the burning waste before them.
They had not been buried; life had moi
departed before they thus sat around ;
but. hope was gone, the Spanish invaders
we're at hand. and no escape being left
they had come hither to die. They still
satimmoyabe in that dreary desert, dried
like mummies by the affect of the hot air;
they still kept their position sitting up as
in solemn council, while over that dread
Areopagus silence broods syerlastngly.

Sixty.fve ears ago on the 7th ult.. the
bold pioneers of Ohio landed at Marietta.
in this State. The leading persons were
Gen. RUFUS Putnam, as superintendent.
and Ebenezer Sproat, of Rhode Island;
Anseler Tupper, and John Mathews, of
Massachusetts and Col. r. J. Meigs, Of
Connecticut surveyors.
Sixty.fve years In time how brief,
but in its results how stupendous. For a
moment LET your mind wander back TO
that period. The inhabitants are the un.
toutored savsges. and everything around
them is in perfect keeping with their mode
of life unbroken in the wilderness

Logic among Friends.

Again, if people wish TO live well togeth.
er, they must not hold too much logic
and suppose that everything is 10 be set
tied by sufficient reason. DR.. Johnson
saw this clearly with regard TO married
people, when he said, Wretched would
be tine pair above all names of wretched.
ness, who should be doomed TO adjust by
reason, every morning oil the minute de
tails of domestic day." But the appli
cation should be much more general thar
he made it. There is no time for such
reasonings, and nothing that is worth
them. And when we recollect how two
lawyers, or two politicians, can go on con.
tending, and that there is no end Of one
sided reasoning on any subject, we shal
not be sure that such contention is the
best mode for arriving al truth. But GER
tainly it is not the way TO arrive at good
remper.-Frieqds IN Council.

From Arthur's Home Gazette.
THE BOYHOOD OF HENRY CLAY.

TMessrs. Lindsay & Blakiston are pub
fishing an excellent series of volumes,
called "The Young Americans Library"
The last issue in the series is well writ
ten life of Henry Clay, from which we
make an interesting extract.
When, in 1888, peace was proclaim
ed, Henry Clay was in his seventh year.
and had been for about two years forced
into that state Of early and trying inde-
pendence which lad inherits who To-
ses his father; for Henry's father died
in 1891. He was clergyman, and in
the humble, worldly lot of self deny
ing servant of God, has left no memo
rial which places his name on the re-
cord of distinguished men. But he was
remembered while those lived whose rec
elections went back to the period Of his
life, as a man estimable and beloved in
his social relations; and the fame of his
son will carry down to posterity the
pleasant memory of the man whose ear
" instructions-so often interrupted
formed the germ of the excellencies of
Henry's character.
But though the death of the father
is great misfortune, there is a relief
for it in the manly developement of
character, and the bringing forward of
mental strength, which are the effect
of the care of widowed mother
Though her sway be gentle, yet in the
case Of children thus bereaved, we Oft
en- read SIMPSONS riddle-out of weak
ness cometh strength. The boy, during
his fathers life is dependent; but to the
feebleness of his mother he becomes a
protector; and is early taught of what
value even child, disposed to be obe-
dent and useful, may prove in the world.
The mother Of Henry Clay lived to
see her son realize the reward of his
early industry and studiousness, and his
flial piety. She survived until 1897, at
which date Mr.. Clay had been over
twenty years in public life. She watch
ed with a mothers honest exultatlon his
upward progress; and with a mothers
deep affection rejoiced that public du-
ties never enstranged his heart from his
domestic relations or quenched the sa-
cred feelings Of flial piety and obedi-
ence.
A favorite symbol during the election
of 1914, when Henry Clay was can
didate for the Presidency, was a ruddy
lad mounted upon horse, with sack
for a saddle. This referred to his boy
hood, when in common with thousands
of his young countrymen, he performed
his part of the labors of the house and
homestead. Acardinal requisite to sue
cess in life is industry; and right under.
standing of what is honorable and what
is dishonorable, will lead young and old
never to be ashamed of necessary labor
Far less will the truly honorable boy OF
man save his own fancied dignity by i'm
posing undue labor upon mother or sis
ter. There is no more noble trait Of char.
acter than generosity, and he who sacri
flee pride, or overcomes Incidence for the
assistance of others, is more truly gener'
ous, in his self-denial, poor though he b.
than. if he could throw away, with lavish
hand. money which he need not count
And the lad Henry Clay, when a bare
footed messenger between the house ant
the mill, no doubt felt more content thar
