rapidly reduces with every year. Still
some sixteen may struggle on, as against
wind and tide, to near the close of a century;
very few of these just survive it; and one
of each squadron may perhaps linger to one
hundred and five years, or to January, 1866,
when the last relies of the great fleet of one
hundred thousand finally disappear.
Truly is life to all men voyage. and
time the sea on which they are sailing -
However we may be able to calculate its
term in the instance of masses Of population.
it is utterly unknown in the case of indivi-
duals; but that it will come to an end which
is ever approaching. is one of the gravest
certainties of human existence. No ques-
tion is more pertinent to the close of another
year. or more worthy of serious entertain
ment, than the inquiry, ''Whither are we
bound p and no work is SO important as
that quantity suggested in the lines -
''Give thy mind scare keep it wide of earth,
That rock Of souls immortal let loose thy cord:
Weigh anchor spread thy sails call every wind !;
Eye thy great pole-star make the land of ife.'
The voyage will then terminate with de-
lightful prospect in full view of the soul.
Gland ahead its fruits are waving
On the hills OF fadeless green,
And the living waters laving
Shores where heavenly forms are seen."

Dow Discovering q Thief.

After Lorenzo Dow had retired to his
room, after hard days travel in the west
ern part of Virginia. a number of persons
collected in the bar-room to enjoy their usu-
al revelries, as was the custom in that part
of the country. At a late hour in the night,
the alarm was given that one of the CON-
pany had lost his pocket-book, and a search
proposed. Whereupon the landlord remark
ed that Lorenzo Dow was in the house, and
that, if the money was there, he knew that
Lorenzo Dow could find it. The sugges-
ton was instantly received with appreciation,
and accordingly Mr.. Dow was aroused from
his slumbers, and brought forth to find the
money. As he entered the room, his eyes
ran through the company with searching
inquiry, but nothing appeared that could
fix guilt upon any one. The loser appeared
with a countenance expressive of great con-
cern, and besou ght Mr.. Dow, for Heavens
sake, to find the money.
"Have any left the company since you
lost your money! said Mr. Dow.
None" said the loser, none"
Then" said Lorenzo, turning to the
landlord, ''go and bring me large dinner
pot" A
This created no little surprise. But, as
supernatural powers were universally con-
ceded, his directions were unhcsitatingly
obeyed. Accordingly the pot was brought
forward. and set in the middle Of the room.
Now" said Lorenzo, Ego and bring the
old chicken cock from the roost.'
This was also done and at Lorenzo's d.
rections, the cock was placed in the pot aud
covered over with q board or lid.
'Let the doors now be fastened, and the
lights extinguished. said Mr.. Dow which
was also done. Now" said he, every
person in the room must rub his hands hard
against the pot, and when the guilty hand
touches. the cock will crow" )" .s
Accoffd din all 4camc fEUruafdi ansds = y
bed. or pretended to rub, against the pot.
But no cock crowed.
Let the candles now be lighted" said
Lorenzo; "there is no guilty person here
If the man had any money. be must have
lost it some place else. But STOP" said
Lorenzo, when all things were prepared.
''let us now examine the hands"
This was the important part of his at
rangement, for, on examination. it was
found that one man had not rubbed against
the pot. The others hands being black
with the SCOT from the pot, was proof Of
their innocence.
There" said Lorenzo, pointing to the
man with clean hands, ''there is the man
who picked your pocket"
The culprit seeing his detection. at once
acknowledged his guilt, and gave up the
money.
