The gonfalons Of cloud and stain -streak'd sky.
Hark to his pipe and drum!

The surges mount, and tree and turret fall
His cannon on the air
Fleshes and roars. The signal gun Room there
Now he is citing crowned;
And golden sunsets beam his brows around;
And ruddy noontide hours
Warm up the thin leaves of his mottled bowers.

But hardy, ripening still

Icebergs i'm the Atlantic.

From an interesting article on lcebergs in
the Atlantic, encountered now by almost eve
ry vessel going across the Atlantic, we quote
from the Philadelphia LEDGER:
Every ship from Europe brings accounts Of
an unusual quantity of icebergs in the Allan
tic, 1t is probable that the north-westerly
winds, which have prevailed in this latitude to
such an extraordinary degree this winter, have
ragged also in the Arctic circle; have set the
ice fields in motion earlier than coVmon and
have filled the Atlantic with drifting bergs and
packs.
The origin of these ice-mountains was long
subject Of controversy. By some persons
the berg was thought to be the result of months
of freezing in the open, sea. By others, it was
more correctly attributed to land origin
DR.. Kane, the historian of the late American
expedition, has proved, conclusively, by OBJ
servation on the spot, that the iceberg has a
similar origin with the glacier, being deposited
on the sides and in the valleys Of Arctic noun
tains, and afterwards pushed forward exactly
as glaciers are, down the slope and along the
gorge. As these valleys eventually open to
the sea, the field of ice is finally protruded Into

A RoLl1Ne STONE GArHERErH NO Moss
Well!what of that2 Who wants to be mos
sy old stone, away in some damp corner of a
pasture, where sunshine, and fresh air never
come, for the COWS to rub themselves against,
for snails and bugs to crawl over and for toads
to squat under among the poisonous weedss
It is far better to be a smooth and polished
stone, rolling along in the brawlng stream OF
human life, wearing off the rough corners,
bringing out the firm crystalline structure oi
the granite, or the delicate veins of the agate,
or the chaldony.
1t is this perpetual chaing and rubbing in
the whirlng current that shows what sort OF
grit man is made Of and what use he is good
for. The sandstone and soapstone are soon
ground down to sand and mud, but the firm,
rock is selected for the towering fortress, and
the diamond is cut and polished for the mon
arch's crown.

the water, where part of it breaks off, at
last by its own weight, and is hoated away
The early navigators, seeing these enormous
smasses, called them in their native tongue,
+" bergs," or mountains, and by that name hey
have been known ever since.
Not unfrequently, large masses of rock,
which are frozen up in the glacier on land, are
borne off with the iceberg. As the berg melts
they drop away, and sink to the bottom of the
seas. Geolsgists tell lus thatthe large boulders
which areAoften found in the interior OF this
continent, hundreds of miles away from primi-
tive formations of a similar character, were
thus transported at some far distant period,
when most of America was still vast ocean,
In melting, the bergs often assume the most
fantastic shapes. Some look like floating
towns, with towers, pinnacles and forts. Some
bear the shape of gigantic castles. Some re-
call the fairy description of the Arabian Nights
The temperature of the water being lower
than that of the atmosphere they melt at the
bottom faster than at the. e..top, and finally turn
over, cenvulsng the deep for an immense cir
Gle around, and mperiuing ships that may hap
pen to be near. =
The playsof light on these bergs is, at times
indescrbably beautiful. At other times, how
ever, the ice-mountains move surrounded with
fog, the offspring of their own evaporation
and on-such occasions, wo to the mariner who
is.not warned in time Of the damp mist he sees
settling down arolud. After traversing our
eastern coasts, and assstingto make our springs
later than those on the Pacific side, the bergs
are melted down by the gulf stream, or borne
off in greatly reduced bulks to the coast OF
Ireland, where they disappear forever.

Wreck of the Ship Powhatan.

The loss of the ship Powhatan, of Baltimore,
with all on board, some 400 souls, at Absecom
Beach, has created painful sensation in New
York. for which port the il-fated vessel sailed
from Havre During Wednesday afternoon,
the newspaper offices in that city were thronged
with distressed and anxious persons, who had,
or supposed they had friends or relatives on
board, and every report from the scene of the
disaster was seized upon with the greatest
avidity. As not soul on board, however, es--
capped watery grave, the intelligence received
was extremely meagre, and but added to the
terrible anxiety of the anxious enquirers.-
The Philadelphia Ledger has a letter dated
Long Beach House, April II, which says:
write to inform you of the total loss OF the
ship Powhatan. She came ashore on Sunday
morning about o'clock, during one. Of the
most violent storms ever experienced on the
coast. She was laden with emigrants, I'should
think about 200, and out of the whole number
of passengers and crew there was not a soul
saved. 1t was impossible to save any one on
account of the weather.
The vessel has gone to pieces so much that
it is almost impossible to tell where SHE struck,
which was about 7 miles north of Egg Harbor
Light. We have picked up 33 bodies to-day,
and since the storm has abated, we have plenty
of help from the mainland to assist in the search
for bodies.
Adespatch received in Philadelphia, on Wed.
nesday evening, from Absecom, says:
The number of dead bodies that have hoated
ashore is now increased to 6S, consisting of
4nen, women and children. alnchded in this
number are many found upon Brgantine Beach,
which is divided from the main land by chan
mel about q. quarter. ofen mile in width. The
greatest excitement prevails at Absecomb, and
the inhabitants are unremitting in their efforts
to ascertain the extent of the catastrophe, and
to give the il.fated bodies an appropriate burial
Another despatch from the same place says: {:
"a portion Of the bedding Of vessel has.been
washed ahsore. 1t has cut or stamped upon
it. Packet Observation-Disclosures bound
to dock, 1877, East River" This, it is fear.
ed, came from another wreck, as there is yes.
sci belonging to New York of that name. =
despatch, dated Philadelphia, the 10th
inst, says: 50 :
$50 far 100 dead bodies have been washed
ashore on. Absecomb Beach. 1t is not yet
known to what vessel they belonged"
The Pophatan, which was commanded by
Capt Myers, was owned in Baltimore, built in
that city in 1887, 59s tons register, valued at
about SIS, 1000, and is probably insured. Her
cargo, principally, French and German goods,
and of considerable value, is probably largely
insured in. New York. She sailed from Havre
about the lst of March, with Al passengers.
The packet ships Constitution, Manhattan,
John Black, and Anaericaa Congress, fears for
the safety of which were entertained, the N.
Y. Times says are all safe, as is also the ship
Humboldt which was reported wrecked. She
has 400 or 500 passengers on board and is
anchored at the New York Quarantine.

the injury will to 6serious extent reduce the
