CRoNSTADT.-Thefo following description
of Cronstadt, given in Berlin Journal,
although incomplete, may not be unin-
teresting at the present moment "Cron-
stadt is situated on the island of Kosline;
at the eastern corner of the Finland Gulf.
The island, about Ii English miles long,
and proportionately narrow, is close to
the mouth Of the Neva, and may be re-
garded as the port Of st. Petersburg,
whence it is distant about lSmiles Eng
liSk.) The town, which owes its founda-
tion to Peter the Great, contains about
10000 inhabitants, and is interested by
the Peter and Catherine canals.
On the northern side Of the island
stand the powerful Alexander ramparts,
constructed Of solid granite blocks, and
armed with heaviest guns. On the south
ern flank of this is the harbor, the chan
mel to which is defended by the citadel,
erected on a rocky foundation, and on
the opposite side by the Kronslot fortress.
Properly speaking, there exist three har-
bors for ships of war within the island,
with docks, arscnals, building yards, and
so forth.
A fourth and smaller harbor for mer-
camille vessels likewise exists within the
defences. The old Menschikoff palace
has long been converted into fouldery,
arsenal, and school for pilots. The
Marine Hospital is arranged for 2600
patients. In order to diminish dangers
that may occur from fire, all wooden COZ.
structions have been pulled down, anu
all superfuous stores removed"

THINGS THAT ARE CoMING.-Manhood
will come, old age will come, and the
diving bed will come, and the very last
look you shall cast upon your acquain-
tances Will come, and the time when you
are stretched Gfeless corpse before the
eyas Of weeping relatives will come, and
that hour when the company will assem-
bic TO carry you to the church-yard will
come and that moment when you are
put in the grave will come, and the
throwing in Of the loose Garth into the
narrow house where you are laid, and
the spreading Of The green sod over it
all will come on every living creature
who hears me and in few years tie
minister who now speaks, and the peo-
ple who listen, will be carried to their
long homes, and make room for another
generation. Now, all this, you know,
must and will happen-your common
sense and common experience serve TO
convince you OF il. Perhaps it may Lave
been little thought of in the days o.
careless and thoughtless and thsnklesS
unconcern which you have spent hitheg-
to but | call on you to think of it now,
lay it seriously TO heart, and not longer
to trifle aud delay, when the high mat
ters of death and Judgment and eternity
are thus set SO evidently before you.

FIFTEEN YouNG MEN.-At a respccta-
BILE boarding house in New York city, a
number of years ago, were fifteen young
men. Six of them uniformly appeared
at the breakfast table on Sabbath morn
ing, shaved, dressed, and prepared as to
their apparel, for attendance on public
worship. They also actually attended
both forenoon and afternoon. All be-
came highly respected and useful citizens
The other nine were ordinarily absent
from the breakfast table on Sabbath
morning. At noon they appeared at the
table, Shaved and dressed in a decent
manner. In the afternoon they went
out, but not ordinarily to church nor
were they usually seen at the place ol
worship. One Of them is now living,
and in reputable employment; the other
eight became openly vicious. All failed
in business, and are now dead. Several
of them came to AL mtimely and awfully J
tragic end. u .oa l!s ,a-saiCa,l q s.s ~
Many man may say, as did a worthy
and opulent citizen: The keeping o'
the Sabbath saved me-" It WILL, if duly
