Napoleon, and the British Sailor.

NHPCASOhe thS 1@a AssS.-
Many years ago, British sailor was ta-
ken prisoner at Boulogne by the French ar
my. He was not, however, shut up be-
tween four walls, but he was allowed his
liberty and permitted to roam about on the
shore as he pleased. | suppose it was
thought that one man could not do any harm
by himself.
But the young sailor longed sadly to get
back again to his country. He used to sit
and envy the birds as he saw them wing
ing their flight to dear old England he wish
ed he could make his escape as easily as
they did
One morning he observed an empty hogs
head come floating towards the shore. He
eagerly seized it and what do you think he
aid with it? Why he hid 1t in cave, and
worked there very hard, day after day, try
ing to make this old barrel into boat !
And at length. after some fashion, he sue
ceeded. But such boat was perhaps new
er seen before. 1t was not fiji to venture
upon pond in, and to think of crossing the
deep, wide ocean in it why the idea was
enough to make one shudder. And yet SO
ANXIOUS was the sailor to reach his home,
that he was actually going to put to sea in
it.
The French guard caught him with it on
the beach, and they laughed at him, and
ridiculed HIM finely abou. his wretched look,
ing boat. The story of this young sailors
attempted escape in this clumsy and dan
gerous manner was SO talked of that pres
emily it reached the ears of Napoleon.
Then Napoleon came and spoke to the
sailor. "Rash YOUTH" he said, "you must
have had some strong motive to make you
dream of crossing the Channel in thing
formed of twigs and slaves. What was 1t
tell me frankly"
The sailor answered, "Thad such greai
longing TO see my mother 1t is many years
since we last met, and l wanted SO much to
see her once more !"
"And so you shall, +" answered Napoleon
quickly, "such loving and brave son must
have had a good mother Then giving
the sailor piece of gold, he commanded
that he sheuld be put on board vessel sail,
ing to old England, and carried back to his
native land.
So the dutful and affectionate young sail
or was restored to his aged, widowed mo-
ther. They lived happily together, although
they were very poor; and the grateful sail
or never parted with the coin which Napo'
lie On had given him.
Boys do you love and honor your mo.
ther! Mothers do you train such children

CoUNsELs FOR THE YoUNG.-Never be
cast down by triAes. If spider break his
thread twenty times, twenty times will he
mend it again. Make up your minds todo
thing and you will do 1t. Fear not II a
trouble comes upon you keep up your splr-
its, though the day be dark one.
If the sun is gone down, look up TO the
stars if the earth is dark, keep your eye on
Heaven! With Gods promises, man or
child may be cheerful.
Mind what you run after! Never be con-
tent with a bubble that will burst, hrewood
that will end in smoke and darkness. Get
that which you can keep. and which Is
worth keeping.
Fight hard against hasty temper. An
ger will come, but resist it strongly: a
spark may set the house on fire. A tit OF
passion may give you cause to mourn all
the days Of your life. Never revenge an
injury. ;.
If YOU have an enemy act kindly to him
and make him your friend. You may not
win HIM at once but try again. Let one
kindness be followed by another, till you
have compassed your end. By little and
little, great things are completed; and so
repeated kindness will soften the heart OF
stone.
Whatever you do, do it willingly. A boy
that is whipped to school never learns his
lessons well. A man that is compelled to
work, cares not how badly it is performed.
He that pulls off his coat cheeriully' STRIPS
up his sleeves III earnest and sings while
he works, is the man for me.
Evil thoughts are worse enemies than IL
ons and tigers; for we can keep out OF the
way of wild beasts, but bad thoughts win
their way everywhere. The cup that is full
will hold no more; keep your heads and
hearts full of good thoughts, that bad
thoughts may find no room to enter.

MATRlMoNY VS.. THE MILITIA.-A priest
in parish in Ireland has fallen on singu-
lar and, as it would seem, successful device
for replenishing his pocket at the expense
of his Majesty's service. He has announced
from the altar that no married man will be
taken in the militia, while all the bachelors
are liable to be ballotted for or even i'm
pressed Acting on this hint. backed by
his strongest recommendation to do SO, the
eligible bachelors of his flock have very ex-
tensvely entered into the matrimonial state.
As each marriage secures handsome fee
to his reverence, his advice was not very
disinterested.

The Ocean and its Depths.

Professor Olmstead of New Haven, has
contributed TO the last number Of the New
Englander, "a quarterly publication an ar
tice entitled "a Philosophical Survey OF the
Ocean" from which we extract the follow
ING paragraph. The author commends high
ly the labors of Lieut. Maury:
The waters of the ocean cover nearly
three -fonrths( (ormore exactly ,fve-sevenths)
of the surface of the globe and of the thlr-
weight millions of miles of dry land IN eX-
istence, twenty-eight belong TO the northern
hemisphere. The mean depth Of the ocean
has been variously stated, but may Tor the
present be taken at four miles; the nume-
rous soundiugs now in progress will soon
enable US to speak with more definiteness
on this point. Enough has already been
done to prove that the depth is exceeding
ly unequal; that like the surface OF the
earth, the bottom of the ocean here rises i'll
mountain peaks, and there sinks in deep
valleys. Until recently the deepest sound
ing ever made, was that by Captain Scores
by in the polar seas, which was short OF
mile and half As late as 1S4S, the max
imum sounding was that of Captain Ross in
the South Atlantic, and gave 27,6OO feet,
or little over FIVE miles, without finding
bottom. But more recently, at a point OF
the Atlantic farther north, Lieut.. Welsh OF
the United States schooner Taney, sounded
without reaching bottom, to the depth OF
"a, 200 feet, or nearly 81 miles. Within
short time Captain Denham communicated
10 the Royal Society report OF having
reached the bottom of the Atlantic, in pas
sage from Rio Janeiro to the Cape OF Good
Hope, at the astonishing depth of 7'7oo
fathoms, or 81 miles; depth so profound,
that the plummet occupied IN its descent
from the reel nearly 81 hours. From these
results it appears that the depths OF the O.
cean exceed the heights Of the mountains,
since the loftiest SUBMITS of the Himmala-
va are little more than $4,000 feet, or 81
miles. Notwithstanding these enormous
depths there are large tracts of the ocean
con- paratively shallow and in the immedi-
ate vicinity of places where no bottom could
be found, were spots of no uncommon
depths. These facts indicate that the bed
of the sea is diversified like the surface OF
the earth. The Gulf of Mexico is thought
not to exceed on an average one mile; and
the Greenland seas are of such moderate
depth, that whales, when harpooned, often
run TO the bottom as Is indicated by their
appearance when they rise again to the sur
face. Whales are even supposed to seek
part Of their food at the bottom of the sea.
