stance Of hallucination over the mind and the
health of highly respectable and intelligent
young lady of Undertook, who some two o,
three years since, while in the enjoyment OF
robust health, was visited one night at her
bedside (as she affirmed at the time by an
apparition, which in solemn accent informed
her that at the age of eighteen she would be
an lnhabltant Of another and better world.
She made the incident known TO her mother,
who vainly endeavored to erase the circum
stance from the mind Of her daughter by SIM
ply treating it as the hallucination Of dream.
The daughter, however, averred that she was
in possession of her faculties and wide awake
at the time Of receiving her spiritual visitor;
and such was the effect it had upon her mind
that girl of life and glee, she became thoughts
ful and reserved, and gradually sunk under its
depressing influence, pining until recently she
became tenant Of the graveyard just as she
was entering upon her eighteenth year. sig "a

ON Interest.

A paragraph on interest from Henry Ward
Beecher's pen:
"No blister draws sharper than interest does.
OF all industries, none is comparable TO that Of
Interest 1t works day and night, in fair wealth
er and in foul. Il has no sound in IFS foot"
stepts, but travels fast It gnaws at a mans
substance with invisible teeth. It binds in-
dustry with It's film, as a fly is bound upon
SPIDERS web. Debt rolls o man over, binding
him hand and foot, and letting him hang upon
the fatal mesh till the long-iegged interest
devours him There is no crop that can af-
ford to pay interest money on a farm There
IS but one thing raised on farm like it, and
that is the Canada thistle, which swarms new
plants every time You break its root, whose
blossoms are very prolific, and every flower
Of million Of seeds. Every leaf is an awl,
every branch spear, and every single plant
IS like aplatoon Of bayonets and q Geld full
Of them IS ike an armed host. The whole
plant is a torment and . vegetable curse
And yet ia farmer had better make his bed Of
Canada tbistles than attempt to lie at ease upon
interest

Injustice to PubIishers.-Mr Joseph Med
on retiring from the Cleveland Leader, before
llkng charge of the Chicago Tribune, wrote
a Sspg and able yaedietory, from which we
ciipNhe following pertinent remarks:
sThe result of my observation enables me
to state, as a tact, that publishers of newspar
pers are more poorly rewarded than any other
class of men in the United States, who invest
an equal amount of labor capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for less
pay. stand more sponging aud "dead heading" !"
to puff and defend more people, without fee or
hope Of reward, than any other class. They
credit wider and longer; yet oftener the victims
Of misplaced confidence than any other calling
in the country. People pay the printers bill
more reluctantly than any other. 1t goes har~
der to expend dollar on a valsable newspa"
per than ten on useless gewgaw."

The open Polar Sea.

DR.. Kane, The renowned navigator, in re~
cent lecture before the American Geographical
Society. gave most interesting description of
The great Polar Sea, discovered during his.late
adventurous voyage. The water appeared per-
fecty iceless. Not particle of ice lined the
shores. At an altitude of 800 feet, SO faf. as
could be seen, nought but an open sea met the
eye A gale of long dura.on swept over this
sea, but brought no drift along with it. An
animal life resorted to these waters The seal
was shot upon its shores, and The duck resorted
to it from every direction. BE could not tell
the exact temperature of issWater, but it was
warmer than any water found BeIow. The
abrasures of the tides sometimesleave an open
space in the sea.
Mr. Bancroft, being present, asked how this
open body Of water could be accounted for.
DR.. Kane-We can only consider il incident
to great open arm at the Pole, or at point
farther north.
Alderman Chauncey-Is it possible, in your
opinion, to reach this opon area with boats and
explore il?
DR.. Kane-That is coming rather near home.
tried as hard as could to reach it, but failed.
(Laughter.) .only got an India rubber boat
there. think, with a proper organization,
however it might be reached, and have no
doubt it will yet be reached and be explored.
(Applause.)
