in mid-ocean.
We had passed by the deepest sounding of
2,4OO fathoms and over more than half of the
deep water generally. while the amount of cable
still remaining in the ship was more than sufh-
cient to carry us TO the Irish coast, even sup
posing the continuance of the bad weather
should oblige MS To pay out the same amount OF
slack cable we had hitherto been wasting. Thus
far things looked very promising for our ultimate
success. But former experience showed US only
too plainly that we could never suppose that
some accident might not arise until the ends had
been fairly landed on the opposite shores.
During Sunday night and Monday morning,
the weather continued as boisterous as ever, and
it was only by the most indefatigable e~xerti9ps of
the engineer upon duty that the wheels could be
rose and fell with the sea, and once or twice they
did come completely to q stand still in spite of all
that could be done to keep them moving, but
fortunately they were again set IN motion before
the ship was thrown up by the succeeding. wave:
No strain could be placed upon the cable, of
course, and though the dynamometer OCCASION
aIly registered LOO lb. as the ship lifted, it was
oftener below 1000, and w~asfrequently nothing,
the cable running out as fast as its own weight
and the speed Of the ship could draw it. But
even with all these forces acting unresistedly
upon It, the cable never paid itself out ct a
greater speed than eight knots an hour at the
time the ship was going at the rate OF SIX knots
and q hall. SQp9equenuy however "uoai ~
speed of thG5 even exceeded six Knots and q
half. the Yer ran out 30 quick. The
ayeraxe speed lined by the ship up to this
time, and, indeed. sor the whole voyage, was
about Eve knots and q half, the cable, with occa-
sional exception. running about 80 per cent
faster.

Girls. be Cautious.

The following paragraph, k many others
equally. as good, we find floating around with
out credit. It matters but little though, who
the author may be, for it contains some very
excellent advice, whichw commend to all our
young lady readers especially those who
contemplate matrimony. This, doubtless,
includes all, for we have yet to find the young
lady, (there are no old ones unmarried,) who
has resolutely determined never to unite her
fortunes with some member of the rougher
sex, should a favorable offer present itself
But to the extract, which is as follows:
"Girls, beware of transient young men
never suffer the address of strangers recol-
lect one good steady farmers boy or indus
trious mechanic is worth more than all the
floating trash in the world. The allurements
of a dandy jack with a gold chain about his
neck, a walking stick in his paw, some hon
est %tailor's coat on his back, and a brainless,
though fancy skull, can never make up the
loss of aekind fathers home, a good mother
tiers Their affection lasts, RWnitee that Oh 4s665tdf
a man is lost at the wane of the honeymoon
Girls, beware; take heed lest We should faI
into the ''snare of the fowler )" too many hav'
already been taken from a kind fathers HON,
and a good mothers counsel, and made tn,
victim of poverty and crime, brought t
shame and disgrace, and then thrown upol
their own resources to live their few remain
ing days in grief and sorrow, while the brain
less skull is making its circuit around tn
world, bringing to his ignoble will all tina
may be allured by his deceitful snares, ma
king the home of many a fair one the sham
of his artful villainy."

Errors in Composition.

The Georgia Crusader gives, In few words,
a valuable suggestion to young writers, who
are in the habit of indulging too freely in adj
j~ectives-which is one Of the greatest errors
into which many young writers fall. They
seem to think that a bountifui profusion of
these is essentially necessary, in order to i'm
part vigor and dignity to their style which
is to them a more important object of consid-
Grafton than the matter. They seem, how
ever, often to lose sight of the fact that every
adjective has a definite meaning. According
ly, we not unseldom find them so employ we'd
that they give to a sentence a sense very diff
ferent from what the writer intended But
more often still, they are mixed up in so con-
fused a manner as TO convey no clear idea to
the mlnd at all. When such a style has once
been formed, i~tscontinues until a sobered
Judgment has produced conviction of its bad
taste and long practice has begot a less stilted
and more sensible order of composition.

Death of Joan dare.

We make the following extract from Ap-
pleton's work, "Tbe World-No Women
1t is from the pen of Mary Cowden Clarke.
"There is something indefinitely touch
ing in the saints and hero's relapse into
simple humanity and womanhood, on the
dark, unnatural May morning, when the
heavy news was told her that She must die
before sunset. She wept bitterly. Like
Jcphtha's daughter, she mourncd that her
pure and beauieous body should be thus
early sacrificed, e~xclaiming: 'Helas me
traita ton ainsi horriblement ct cruellemcnt,
quill faille que mon corps, net ct enter, qui
ne fut jamais corrompu, soft aujourd'hui
consume ct rendu Gil ccndresp She shrank,
and shricked, and wrthed at the thought
Of the flames, plying herself for the pain.
But the saint triumphs soon-even through
the fiery vista before her she sees a better
kingdom than France, n better home than
Bomremy. Even in this death she recog-
Mics the delivcrauce' promised her by
the voices
She appealed to God from the Injustice
and cruelty Of earth she partook of tho
holy sacrament with many tears she ut
tered her touching and tremendous word,
to the Bishop Of Bcauyais, a summons tC
answer for her death before God. What
child-like naturaIncss, a p~laintive naiyctt
marked the words she addressed to one o
the preachers standing by 'Ah, Maitr,
Pierre, where will Ibe this EVENING"

~ Punch states that there are two taxes

on beauty and a tax on intellect. He adds:
The beauty tax would be cheerfully paid
by all the ladies, even by those who might
be exempted, either from old age, ebliquity
Of vision, freckles, or any other disqualified
ton and the intellect tax would meet with
the same large success among the men. You
would find intellectual dwarf and pigmies-
persons who believe in the lies Of quack doc
tors, or put faith in the prospectuSes of bub-
BILE banks and cheap clothes (the one burst

| write because | fear the approaching re-
suits. Ten Thousand d~runkdrds IN oar State!
Allowing but JfUe sufferers to each drunkard,
and We have yty thousand daily sufferers IN
N. G. from intoxication; to say nothing OF
the almost countless thousands who are more
or less afflicted by this unholy traffic. The
tears and cries of groaning widows and
helpless orphan infancy ascend the skies
daily, to call down the vengeance of an IN
censed God upon a country so stained and
polluted as ours. North Carolina now boasts
of the largest d~istilling apparatus in the world;
and she b0asts in her shame.
What is to be done? Legislate against
this unholy- business? No sir, we can't do
that thing. You might as well attempt to
brush down the Pleads from the concave
heavens with a sucking calfs tail, or perfo-
rate the globe with a hens tooth, as to find
enough sober, moral men in the Legislature
at one time, to have this accomplished
The best plan | can think of, will be to
petition the general government to issue q
proper process at law, that shall embrace and
prosecute the entire Legislature of the State
binding them up to so6riety and good orde
during the session and, that when any on
of them is caught intoxicated, he shall be pub
hcly exposed and sent home, never to return
Ifthis plan were adopted, and a few of ther
were to receive an application of the birch, "
would soon have our Legislative halls file
with sober men, acting in the fear of God fo
he good of their country.
But to be serious. We must have son
enactment upon this subject and the eonst
nationality, propriety, and necessity of tn
measure, may form the subject of a future a
ticle from the pen of BOB.
