ONE or III SUFFERERS BY THE ACCIDENT
t9s 10 TIE PRINCESS.
from the New orleans Delta, March AZ.

We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday on our streets
Judge Boyce, the IT,. 8. Judge for the western district OF
Louisiana, whose name has appeared on the list of the
sufferers by the disaster of the Princess. The Judge wears
the marks of some pretty severe I'M aries received in this
sad disaster. His face was somewhat scllded, his head
cut by the splinters, and his arm severely cut about the
wrist. The Judge was thrown by the explosion from the
guards into the river, and caught a cotton bale, upon
which he aoated until he was taken off by some persons
in a skif. When he got ashore he walked to Colonel
Hckey's, where he was very kindly entertained, until he
could remove to the city, He is now entirely restored.
A few minutes before the explosion Judge Boyce had been
engaged in conversation with Mr.. John Hagan, who had
left him, saying that he had to write to his wife, who
was then in this city. IL was whilst so engaged that the
explosion took place. and that gallant and estimabls gen
teman was hurled into eternity.

A Child,S Faith,

In the Highlands of Scotland there is
mountain gorge twenty feet in width
and two hundred feet in depth. Its per-
pendcular walls are bare of vegetation,
save in their crevices, in which grow
numerous wild flowers of rare beauty.
DESTROYS of obtaining specimens of these
mountain berries, some scientific tourist
once offered a Highland boy handsome
gift if he would consent to be lowered
down the cliff by a rope, and would gather
little basketful of them. The boy looked
wistfllly at the money, for his parents
were poor; but when he gazed at the
yawning chasm, he shuddered, shrank
back and declined. But tilial love was
strong within him, and after another glance
at the gifts and at the terrible fissure, his
his heart grew strong his eyes flashed,
and he said ..... ......
'I'll go if my father will hold the rope!"
And then, with unshrinking nerves,
cheek unblanched, and heart firmly strong,
he suffered his father to put the rope
about him, lower him into the wild abyss,
and to suspend him there while he filled
his little basket with the coveted flowers.
1t was daring deed, but his faith in the
strength of his fathers arm, and the love
of his fathers heart, gave him courage
and power to perform it

Whining.

There is class ofpersons in this world,
by no means small, whose prominent
peculiarly is whining They whine be-
cause they are poor, or if rich, because
they have no health to enjoy their riches;
they whine because they have "no luck, "
they whine because it is too shiny !;
they whine because it is too rainy !;
and others prosperity exceeds theirs; they
whine because some friends have died
and they are still living; they whine
because they have aches and pains, and
have aches and pains because they whine,
and they whine no one can tell why.
Now, | would like to say word to these
whining persons.
First, Stop whining. 1t is Of no use
this everlasting complaining, fretting,
seolding, fault-fnding and whining Why,
you are the most deluded set of creatures
that ever lived. Did you not know that
it is a well-settled principle of physiology
and common sense, that these habits are
more exhaustive of nervous vitality than
almost any other violation of physiological
law? And do you not know that life is
pretty much as you take it and make it :?
You can make it bright, sunshiny, or you
can make it dark, shadowy. This life is
meant only to be disciplinary-to fit us
for higher and purer state of being.
Then stop whining and fretting, and
Ego on your way rejoicing"
Second, Sing the song of life cheerily.
Hark Do you hear yonder bird singing
joyously its merry carols, as it hops from
bough to bough in its native forest.home ?
Initiate It'll Take up your song of life,
using it joyously and bravely. Sing on,
though you feel it not You are miser-
able, nervous, dyspectic, in wrong rela-
tions to yourself and all Gods universe,
and that's all that ails you. Then stop
short, take up the song of life, and leave
off forever that whine of death.
"A merry heart doeth good like medi-
cine, but a broken spirit drieth up the
bones" Live simply, cheerfully and
trustingly, and by-and-by, your troubles
will take to themselves wings and fly
away" You will gradually grow more
and more into harmony with the natural
order of things, and the bright light of
heaven will shine pleasantly down into
your souls and baptize them into new life.

A Sweet Voice.

A sweet voice is indispensable to a
woman: do not think | can describe it.
1t is not inconsistent with great vivacity,
but is often the gift Of the gentle and un-
obstrusive. Loudness or rapidity is in
comparable with it. 1t is low, but not
Observation-Disclosures, butnot slow. Every
syllable is distinctly heard, but they follow
each other like drops from fountain. 1t
is like the cooling Of dove, not shrill nor
even clear, but uttered with that subdued
and touching readiness which every voice
assumes in moments of deep feeling or
tenderness. 1t is glorious gift in wo-
mani should be won by it more than
by beauty-more even than by talent,
were it possible to separate them. But l
never heard deep, sweet voice from a
weak woman. 1t is the organ of strong
feelings and Of thoughts which have lain
in the bosom till their sacredness almost
bushes. Willis. H.4
