The Atlantic.

Soundings in the Atlantic have reveal
ed the fact that at least two hundred and
thirty miles from the coast of Ireland, the
water Is still shallow; or, in other words,
there is another Ireland only waitingsto be
raised-thus reversing the famous pana-
cea for keeping the country quiet 1t is
Just beyond this that the true Atlantic
begins, the gulf suddenly sinking to 5000
feet. Thus Ireland may one day have a
coast line as high as the Alps. The
whole floor Of the Atlantic is paved with
a soft sticky substance, called oaze, nine
tenths consisting Of very minute animals,
many Of them mere Jumps of Jelly, and
thousands of which could float with case
in drop Of water; some resembling
toothed wheels, others bundles of spines
or threads shooting from little globule.
Some, however, are endowed with the
property of separating flint from the sea
water-wlich is more than every chem
ist can. do; and there are hundreds oi
square miles covered with the skeletons
of these little creatures. Part Of this
oaze is doubtless from the clouds Of rain
dust which rise from the vast steppes oI
South America in such masses rs to dark
en- the sun, and make the animals fly to
shelter, and which, after sweeping like a
simooon over the country lose themselves
in the "steep Atlantic" No bones have
been found Of the larger animals, so that
the kraken and sea serpent might sleep
their last sleep, and leave not bone OF
q vertebra to tell the tale. Not mast
or anchor, not block or strand, not n
coin ora keepsake, has been found to tes-
tify of the countless gallant ships and
more gallant men who have gone down
amid the pitiless waves.

MAKE HOME BRIGHT AND PLEASANT.


More than building snowy mansions,
More than dress and fine array,
More than domes or lofty steeples,
More than station, power and sway
Make your home both neat and tasteful,
Bright and pleasant, always fair,
Where each heart shall rest eontented,
Grateful for each beauty there.
More than lofty swelling titles,
More than fashions Turing glare,
More than Mammon's gilded honors,
More than thoughts can well compare
See that home is made attractive
By surroundings pure and bright;
Trees, arranged with taste and order.
Flowers, with all their sweet delight.
Seek to make your home most lovely
Let II be a smiling spot,
Where, in sweet contentment resting,
Care and sorrow are forgot.
Where the flowers and trees are waving,
Birds viii sing their sweetest song;
Where the purest thoughts will linger
Confidence and love belong.
There each heart will rest contented,
Seldom wishing far to roam,
Or, If roaming, still will cherish
Mem'ries Of that pleasant home.
Such home mikes man the better;
Pure and lasting its control;
Home, with pure and bright surroundings,
Leaves its impress on the soul.

Boy LOVE-" One of the queerest
and funniest things to think of in after
life, is boy love. No sooner does boy
acquire a tolerable stature than he begins
to imagine himself man, and TO ape
manish ways. He casts side glances at
the tall girls he may meet; becomes a
regular attendant at church or meeting;
carries cane, holds his head erect, and
struts little in bis walk. Presently,
and how very soon, he falls in love; yes,
falls is proper word, because it best in
dicates his happy, delirious self-abase-
ment. He lives now in q fairy region,
somewhat collateral to the world, and yet
blessed somehow inextricably with it. He
perfumes his hair with fragrant oils, scat
ters essence over his handkerchief and
desperately shaves and anoints for n
beard. He quotes poetry, in which love-
dove and heart, and DART peculiarly
predominate; and he plunges deeper into
the delicious labyrinth-fancies himself
filed with the divine atflatus, and sud
denly breaks into scarlet rash--of
rhyme. lie feeds on the looks Of his be-
loved; is raised 10 the seventh heaven if
she speaks pleasant word; is betrayed
into the most astounding ecstacies by a
smile, and is plunged into the gloomiest
regions of misanlhropy by frown. He
believes himself the most devoted lover
in the world. There was never such an
other. There never will be. He is one
great idolaterl He is the very type Of
magnanimity."

TRUTH STRANGER THAN FIcTIoN.-
The Rochester Express relates that sew
eral months ago a respectable widow in
good circumstances removed to that city
from Syracuse with her family, boy and
two girls. Two weeks afterward, the el-
dest daughter, young lady of eighteen,
met young gentleman in company, who
at once became interested in her, and in
two weeks they were engaged. AT the
end of two weeks more they were married.
After living together for two weeks, the
lady visited a friend in Syracuse against
the vehement remonstrances of her hus-
band, and returned the next day to find
a note stating that he had left her forev-
er. She repaired TO her mothers house,
and besought her brother to assist in re-
covering her husband. Though in feeble
health, he at once left home for a neigh
boring city to search for the truant hus-
band. Two days after the youngest sis.
ter was prostrated by fatal illness, and
died on the third day. Word was sent
to the absent brother, but the return mai
brought intelligence of his decease! Or
hearing this the deserted wife swooned
and remained in state of unconscious
ness for two days. She then revived
but as soon, apparently, as she realized
what had occurred, she was thrown into
fit of delirium, and died in a few days
just two weeks after the dosertion of he
husband.

The DEFALcATIoN AND FLIGHT Oh
MckINNEY.--It turns out, as we have ex-
pected it would, that John Mckinney, tho
late State Treasurer, is defaulter. This
intelligence the Governor gave us in his
message. From our Lansing correspon-
dent we learn that the amount of the de-
falcation has been found to be not less
than $l34,000, and that Mckinney has
absconded.
Though Mckinney may have pocketcd
the proceeds of this defalcation, he is not
the only responsible party for it. The
State Auditors, who by law are required
to make periodical examinations of the
treasury, must bear very uncomfortable
share Of the responsibility. And we shall
not be surprised TO learn that the defalca-
ton is considerably larger than it now ap-
pears TO be, and that it had its origin in
the former administration, when Treasu-
rer Holmes pretended TO keep large de-
posit in certain Brooklyn bank, and
when the democratic minority in the..Leg-
islature sought in vain TO make an explo-
ration OF tho real state OF affairs. Nc
Kinney was nominated on the republican
ticket for Holmes successor through the
influence Of Bingham, Holmes and other
members Of the expiring administration,
and charged at the time that the purpose
Of this movement wds to conceal a treas
ury defdlcation. Perhaps we shall soon
know whether we were right or wrong.
1t was Mckinney whom, after the dis
closure of the Hazelton transaction, Gov
eruor Wisner certified TO be as honest
man as ever lived.' The whole demo
cratic press Of the State at that time do
manded that the Attorney General sho'd
proceed against Mckinney under penal
law which he had violated. We await
further disclosures. [Dct. Free Press.

BooTH REMovED.--By order Of the
Court Sherman M. Booth was yesterday
conveyed from the Custom House to the
county Jail, the room which he lately oc-
cupied being needed for the use of juries
in the United States District Court
Marshal Lewis expressed great satisfac-
ton in being relieved from his thankless
charge. Mr.. Washburne stated recently
in Congress that the expense Of Booths
imprisonment would be thirty thousand
dollars. The entire expenses to the Gov
ernment, thus far-including his re-arrest
after he had been rescued by a mob---art
less than three thousand dollars.
Senator Doolittle, in late speech il
the Senate, referred to Booths imprison
ment as an evidence Of the loyalty of thu
people of Wisconsin 10 United State.

tor in connection with the fact that h
was himself elected by the influence o
Booth on the. express question of resist
ance to the law the penalties Of whicl
Booth is now suffering.

FoRT SUMPTER-The force now in
Fort Sumpter consists of about $50 men,
80 Of whom are laborers, and the rest
troops, belonging to the artillery branch
of the United States service. These lat
ter are sufficient to man about one-half
the guns of the fort, supposing the guns
were all mounted. Fortunately, howev-
or, this is far from being the case. Out
oe 75 pieces of heavy ordnance now in
the fort, only IL are fully mounted
These are all case-mate guns in the lower
tier, and include the nine guns of that
face Of tho fortress fronting toward Sulli-
vans Island. Two moro Of these case
mate guns were nearly mounted on Fri
day evening, but the work of getting
them in position is necessarily slow and
tedious, and, with the force now al work,
it is impossible to mount more than three
guns per day at the utmost. The heavi-
est guns, too, which are the 10 inch Co
lumbiads, have yet to be mounted. One
Of the case-mate guns at one of the an
giles Of the walls has been placed in posi-
tion so as to cover Castle Pinckney. The
garrison were, on Friday evening, getting
ready TO mount some of the case-mate
guns on the side of the wall.
Beside these heavy pieces, four of the
lighter Jarcette guns are mountrd upon
the ramparts, pointing towards Morris
Island. These are so arranged upon piv-
OF carriages as TO sweep around the whole
horizon. The magazine of the fortress is
well stocked with an immense quantity
Of grape, canister, and shells, and
about seven hundred barrels of pow
der. All the small arms and stores ol
Fort Moultrie have been transferred with
the garrison, and there is q sufficient ac-
cumulation of provisions to last, in case
of necessity, for six months at least
Four large cisterns contain an ample sup
ply of fresh water, but is now well un,
derstood that Fort Sumpter has no fue
TO spare.
An officer of the u. S. Coast Survey
writes that Fort Sumpter is three anc
five-eighths miles from Charleston, one
and one-eighth miles from Moultrie, three
quarters of a milo from the nearest land
one and three -eightbs miles from For
Johnson, and two and five-eighths miles
from Castle Pinckney. The last named
fort is one mile from the city, and For
johnson is two and quarter miles from
the city. These measurements are taker
from the last surveys made by the U. S
Coast Survey.

SUFFERINGs OF THE ENGLISH PRrsoN-

ment. Two days before his death his
nails and fingers burst from the tightness
of the cords which bis captors placed up
on him, and modification set in, and the
bones of his wrist were exposed. Whilst
he was alive worms were generated in his
wounds, and eat into and crawled over
his body. They left the body there three
days, and then took it away. Five days
after his death a sowar, named Ramdun
died in the same state. His body was
taken away Immediately. Three days af
ter this Mr.. De Norman died.

DISCOVERIES OF THE MICROSCOPE
Leuwenhock tells us of animated insects
seen with the miscroscope, of which twen-
ty-scvcn millions would only be equal to
a mite. Insects Of various kinds are OBJ
servable in the cavities Of common
grain of saud. Mold is forest of beau
tiful trees, with the branches, leaves, flow
ers, and fully discernible. Butterflies are
fully feathcred. Hairs are hollow tubes.
The surface of our bodies is covered with
scales like fish; single grain of sand
would cover five hundred pores---yet
through these narrow openings the per-
spiration exudes like water through a
seive--how minute must be its particles
the mite makes five hundred steps in a
second! Each drop of stagnant water

She hoped to be one Of the beneficent
Queens of Hungary, and she thought she
saw how the Austrian dominion might
be moro closely knit and truly re-estab-
lished; but now, at three and twenty,
she leaves home, having seen one child

proud of when becoming an Empress at
seventeen. Pale and wasted, she moves

King of Naples, and the other of his

conduct of the late Duchess of Orleans,
