accounts which our reporters have given Of the
circumstances attending the wreck Of the New
York on Barnegat beach. The houses which
have been erected at distance Of every i've
miles, are entirely inadequate for the purposes
for which they were built. They are provided
with no accommodations for those who may be
saved, and each building is not capable
of holding more than fifty or sixty persons They
are without beds, and the only article Of house
hold furniture of which they can boast is an old
smoky stove, while chairs and tables are Injuries
they have never known. The consequence Of
this is that many, even after being saved from
shipwreck, die from want OF proper shelter dur
ing such Indictment weather as always prevails
along our Northern coasts in winter.
The Secretary Of the Treasury will, therefore,
we trust make this also the subject of his inves-
LEGATIONS. But this is not all that should be done
for the saving Of life. 1t should be made incum-
bent on every ship to carry with her mortar
and shells, with which, in cases similar to the
New York, line might be thrown to the shore
for the use of the life car Till legislation has
provided for all this we cannot say that we have
done what we should for the safety of those.
whose lives are endangered by shipwreck.

THr LATE SmrwREcKs--wHAr SHOULD Bis
DoNE ron THE SAVING OF LrFE.-Wc are glad
to perceive that the suggestions which we made
a few days ago in regard to the necessity Of
providing better means for the saving Of life
along our coasts, have attracted the attention OF
our legislators to this all-important subject.
Hon. Mr.. Thompson, United States Senator from
New jersey, presented a resolution in the senate
on last Friday, calling upon the Secretary Of the
Treasury TO report whether more efficient means
cannot be devised for the preservation Of the
lives of seamen and passengers wrecked on the
coasts Of New Jersey and Long Island. The re-
solution further suggested the propriety of grant
ing relief TO the families Of persons who lose their
lives In rescuing individuals from shipwreck.
The recent disaster on the Barncgat beach, In
which two Of the most active and daring wreck
ers on that coast John Parker and John Jones
perisbed while in the act Of saving the lives of
the crew of the ilLfated bark Taseo, W.T., II \
10 be hoped, lead to prompt and efficient
legislative action. One Of these men. had
large family dependent upon him for
support and they are now thrown upon the
charity Of the public. This, however, is only one
of numerous cases Of the kind which occur along
this dangerous coast, and by which many persons
have been reduced to a state Of destitution. We
trust, therefore, that the resolution ofMr Thomp-
son viii not be treated with that Indifference
with which measures Of true practical benevo-
lencc are too frequently received by our Iegis-
tors
That the means which have been provided for
the saving of life on our coasts are not as efficient

A new and hitherto undreant of destiny is

Japanese government do not, Of itself, submit to

people Of that archipelago cannot fail to APP
preciate the advantages which international com
munication win bring them; and we may ere
very long expect to see japan brought within the

'98 and 4s. The Modern Revolutionary History and

The public will better understand the character
and DRIFT of the work whose title prefaces this NOTICE.
if we say it is biography and history OF the men
who figured in the Irish revolutionary movements OF
1898 and lS48-men, most of whom were brave, tai
ented and patriotic, but wanting either in proper
appreciation of their countrymen, just Judgment
of Great Britain, fit estimate of the proper time
when their enterprise should be undertaken. Wolf
Tone and Henry Grattan; the Wexford Campaign
the United Irsllmen; Baron Plunkct, OfConnel and
Mitchell, with many others in the same ranks are
boldly outlined and ably sketchcd; with more praise
than we should award them, but, probably, no more
than we should use even in writing of our own coun
trynen. 1t is strange sad story all through, with
solrowful moral; not preaching anything very
grand for British philanthropy or the court Of Exeter
Hail. speaking mournfully too of race That has ac-
complisfed much in other lands yet but little at home.

The first ten years Of my post-mortem existence
having just expired, am permitted more to gaze
on mundane affairs ere re-enter the sphere which
separates me from mortals. What a change has
taken place since left the earth Let me visit the
churchyard! Ten years ago, it contained but a few
graves scattered here and there now, it is covered
with my old and dear friends of former gladstone
years Let me read To the Memory of jeremiah
Hicksn My Oldest and best fiiend Poor jerry!
Well do remember When.we left school, our hearts
beating with the anticipation Of brilliant future,
you clasped me by the hand and wished me long life
and prosperity, how little did you then think that
cur mortal being would lie in the same churchyard, so
soon Here is another beautiful monument to ''far
and lovely one"-INurian More My first boyisll
love as pure and chaste as the marble which now
covers her fair clay! Dear companion of my youth
ful joys and cares sleep on "a kindred spirit
watches DER thee! can go no further; every stone
bears dreul intelligence Of the transtory existence
of all things mortal, and my spirit finds nought but
sorrow here.
What dirty little gravestone is that-peeping from
yonder bed of noxious weeds? It looks as though
the idle schooboys had been using it for practical les
sons in sculpture. The grave, doubt of some pool
neglected mortal with whom friends were few:
