The cars were watched BY the officers,
daguerreotye in hand, the following morn
ing as they left for the East. The lady
whose expeced journey had excited the sus-
Plcion and the scrutiny went on, but she
was without companion. Disappoint-
nent waited upon the anxious father here,
but only to sweeten his JOY and surprise at
Toledo. In accordance with the plan fix
ed upon in this city, the father waited up
on the Suprior of q convent of gray nuns
at Toledo, informed her in elegant French
that he was foreign tourist taking the
statistics of the converts in this country,
and would like to ascertain the date Of its
foundation, the name of its Superior, the
number of its inmates, and other facts Of
interest," and would desire further, person
ally, to inspect its departments.
Disarmed of all suspicion, the lady led
him through the convent and gave him
the desired information. But among all
the sisterhood he could find nowhere his
daughter, and heart.sick weary and dispiri-
ted, be was about TO leave, when the SUI
perior asked him if be would Ike to see
their school of orphans. Certainly-and
into the room he was ushered. In passing
side door which was partly open, his
quick glance discovered his long sought
daughter stretched upon sick bed!
In moment he sprang to her side and
clasped her in his arms. She was so vast
ed, says his letter to his friend in this city
which now lies before US, that he could
scarcely recognize his beautiful child of six
weeks before. She in her turn was over
joyed to see him. He Immediately turned
upon the Superior, who stood transixed
with astonishment, and vented upon her
his long, pent up feelings. He fairly
trembled with rage, while he caused her to
tremble with fear as he poured forth tor
rent of denunciation upon her head. She
stammered out an excuse to the effect that
she was only obeying the orders Of her su-
perior at Montreal, of which convent this
was branch, and that she had no discre-
ton in the matter. But the father was too
tull of Joy to waste time in chickering's
there; with his sick child in his arms, and
so, receiving a portion of her clothing,
hastily gathered up by the affrighted nuns,
he left the convent with the prize which be
had been seeking day and night for six
weeks, with an agony of anxiety that only
parental love can experience. A carriage
was in waiting with friends 10 whom he
had been introduced, and to whose residence
the party repaired. A telegram was dis
patched to the heart broken mother at
Montreal, who was worn down with sick
ness and suspense.
This occurred one week ago yesterday.
By easy stages the invalid daughter was
conveyed to Saratoga, where letter Just
received, announces halt for restoration
and health, while the oveJoyed mother
was hourly expected to crown their happi-
ness and make it once more complete. The
narrative which is strictly true, will take
its own comment with it.

steam on Common Roads.

The self propelling steam fire engine no.
ticed last week was constructed by Messrs.
Lee & Larned, at Jersey City, and it was
run from Bristol on its own resources, car
ryiDg nine passengers. The result of the
experiment was highly satisfactory. With
the steam al lso lbs. the engine was driv
en- at high speed, and up a hill with an in
cline of about one foot 10 ten. The speed
ranged mile to five or six minutes, and
the result of the experiment was TO estab-
lish the fact that it was easy to maintain,
on fair grades, q motion at the rate of II
miles an hour. The Philadelphia Ledger
gives an account of the trip, and comes to
the conclusion that the result affords a rea-
sonable presumption that it will not be
many years befor, steam carriages upon
common roads will supersede those drawn
by horses. The Southwark Fire Engine
weighed $4,000 pounds, including feul,
water and passengers, when performing
the five hours trip, the actual running time
being two hours. Steam carriages espe-
cially adapted to road travel, would of
course be much lighter than steam fire en-
giues.

The Distance to which Sound
may be PrOpagated.

The distance at which sounds are audi
BILE does not admit of precise measure
ment. In general, it may be stated, a
sound will be heard farther the greater its
original intensity and the deaser the me-
dun in which it is propogated. 1t also
depends greatly upon the delicacy of hear
ing of different individuals. The intensity
of the sound, like that of all forces acting
in lines, diminshes in the inverse ratio of
the squares of the distance of the sounding
body. Thus, if the linear dimension Of a
theatre be doubled, the volume of the per-
formers voices at any part of the eircum-
ference will be diminished in four fold
proportion.
A powerful human voice in the open
air, at the ordinary temperature, is audible
at the distance of seven hundred feet. In
frosty air, and undisturbed by winds or
current, sound is heard at much greater
distance with surprising distinctness. Lieu
tenant Foster, in his third Polar expedition
of Captain Parry, held conversation of
with a man across the harbor of Port
Bowen, distance of one mile aud quar-
Ter.
Dr.. Young states, on the authority Of
Denham that the watchword call 5 weli'
had been distinctly heard from old to new
Gibraltar, distance of ten miles. The
marching of company of soldiers may be
heard on still night at from five hundred
and eighty to eight hundred and thirty
PAGES; squadron of cavalry at foot pace
at seven hundred and fifty PAGES distant.
When the air is calm and dry, the report
of a musket is audible at one thousand
PAGES. The sound of the cannonading at
Waterloo was heard at Dover.
Sounds travel further and more loudly
on the earth's surface than through the
atmosphere. Thus it is said that at the
seige of Antwerp in 1882, the cannonad-
ing was heaId in the mines of Saxony,
which are about three hundred and twenty
miles distant; the cannonading at the bat
tie of Jena was heard feebly in the open
fields Of Jena, but in the casemates Of the
Notifications it was heard with great dis
tinctness. The noise ofthe sea fight be-
tween the English and the Dutch in 1872
was heard at Shrewsbury distance of two
hundred miles. The greatest known dis
tsnce to which sound has been carried by
the atmosphere is three hundred and for
ty-fve miles; as it is asserted, that the
very violent explosions of the volcano at
St. Vincent's has been heard at Demerara.

SHAMEFUL LIFE.

A discourse recently delivered by Rev.
E. H. CHAPLIN of New York, upon sub
jec. which is regarded as too delicate for
conversation or public lecture, has attract
ed some attention as reported in the New
York Evening Post. 1t contains, as we
believe, salutary doctrine and inculcation,
with some pungent structures upon that
prudery prevalent at this day, which affects
to ignore by silence, facts of the greatest
moment to the welfare of Society.
Our readers will bear us witness that by
no word of ours have we ever ministered to
the prurient tastes of readers who delight
in semi-lieentious narratives. They will
recognise in our selection of the subioined
article, the same regard for genuine purity
and virtue.

A Sublime PerOration.

The closing passage of Prof. Mitchell's
lecture after speaking of the unfatbomable
distance which no telescope can penetrate,
lying far beyond the system in which the
earth revolves, and yet filled with inde-
pendent systems of worlds of infinite pum-
Der, was as follows:
"Light traverses space at the rat Of
million miles minute, yet the light from
the nearest star requires ten years to reach
the earth, and Herschers telescope reveal
ed stars two thousand three hundred times
further distant. The great telescope of
Lord Ross pursued these creations of God
still deeper into space, and having resolved
the nebula of the milky way into stars,
discovered their systems of stars-beauti-
full diamond points glitteriDg through the
black darkness beyond. When he beheld
this amazing abyss-when be saw these
symptoms scattered profusely throughout
space-when be reflected upon their i'm
mense distance, their enormous magnitude,
and the countless millions of worlds that
belonged to them, it seemed TO him as
though the wild dream of the German poet
was more than realized.
"God called man in dreams into the
vestibule of heaven, saying, come up hith-
er and will show the glory of my house.
And to his angels who stood about his
throne he said, take him, strip him of his
robes of 1esh-clense bim of bis affections;
put new breath in bis nostrils; but touch
not his human heart'-the heart that fears
and hopes and trembles. A moment, and
it was done, and the man stood ready for
his unknown voyage. Under the guidance
of mighty angel, with sounds Of flying
pinions, they sped away from The battle
ments of Heaven. Some time on the
mighty angels wings they fed through
Saharas of darkness, wilderness Of DEATH
At length, from a distance not counted
save in the arithmetic of Heaven, light

long eternities of twilight; then again on

Shameful Life.

Rev. E. H. Capin, in the course of a re-
cent series of sermons on the "Pbases of
Life delivered one entitled "Shamefnl
Life" that excited more than usual atten-
ton. As the evening happened to be
stormy, be was requested to repeat it, and
did so last evening, when the spacious
church was crowded to excess, and many
were obliged to leave, unable to find even
standing room After the preliminary ex-
ercises, consisting of prayer, reading of
Scriptures, and singing by the congrega-
ton led by the Sunday-school children,
Mr.. Chapin delivered his discourse, taking
as bis text the 10th and ilth verses of the
9Th chapter of John:
"Wben Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw
none but the woman, he said unto her, Where
Rre those thine accusers? Hath no man con-
demned theef She said. No man, Lord. And
jesus said urto her. Neither do l condemn thee:
60, and sin no more"
Mr.. Chaplin remarked that be should
leave the question of the authenticity of
the passage from which the text was taken
to be settled by the critics. He was satis-
fed to take the words, as be found them in
our English version, as a genuine express
sion of the spirit of Christ's teaching
This passage presented, first, our Saviour
IN contact with the shameful phase of hu-
man life; secondly, it showed men, con-
victed by their own consciences, not dar-
ing to "cast the first stoue;" and it exhib-
tied, thirdly, Christ's treatment Of nen;tent
guilt in His words, "Neither do condemn
thee: 60. and sin no more" He proceed
ed to show the bearing of text upon the
subject of shameful life, in the order of
these three points suggested by the text.

ed some time since, two personages in the
