TEE BIBLE IN Coal MINE.-In one of the
coal mines in England, youth, about fif-
teen years of age was working by the side
of his father, who was pious man, and
governed and educated his family according
to the word OF God.
The father was in the habit of carrying
with him a small pocket Bible, and the son,
who had received one at the Sunday school,
initiated his father in this Thus he always
had the sacred volume with him, and when
ever he enjoyed season of rest from labor,
he read it from the light of his lamp.
They worked together in a newly-opened
section of the mine, and the father had just
stepped aside to procure tool when the
arch above them suddenly fell between
them, so that the father supposed his child
to be crushed. He ran toward the place,
and called 10 his SOD, who at length re-
sponded from under dense mass of earth
and coal.
"My son." cried the father, "are you
living?"

rock"
"Where is your lamp, my SOM"
"lt is still burning, father
"What will you do my dear SOM"
II am reading my, Bible, father, and the
Lord strengthens me-"
These were the last words of that youth
he was soon suifocated.

The STRENGTH OF IRON PnLARs.-In an
article on the above subject, by VIM. Bryson,
G. E., published in the Journal of the Frank.
lin Institute for this month, the author says;
Mr.. Hodgkinson found that the weight
which would crush the pillars if they were
very short would vary as five to nine nearly;
and for flexible pillars, he found the weight
varied from 1894 tuns in the strongest iron
to 33 80 tuns in the weakest. Therefore, if
we take the case of hollow cylindrical pill
low of inches external diameter, beginning
at 10 diameters or 5 feet high, the coeffcient
of the strength will be Is 81 tuns; for feet
high, 2068 tuns; for feet high, 2456 tuns;
for feet high, 2794 tuDs and so on increas-
ing until we arrive at 4434 tuns, or trife
above l6 feet, or 80 diameters. And in the
case of a solid pillar of the same hight, and
inches in dismeter, the coefficisnt of the

similar manner as the above, until we arrive

Developments OF the African Slave Trade;
The Horrors Of the middle PnsaaRe.


The New Bedford Mass papers of Tues
day give full reports of the examination of
A. S. Bigelow and A. II. Potter, of that city,
on the charge ofcomplicity in the slave trade.
The ship Burbus which was subsequently
engaged in the traffic, was fitted out and
cleared from New Bedford. One of her crew,
Milo R. Robbins, was called as witness. He
testified that he shipped for whaling voy-
age, but on arriving of the African coast the
real object of The voyage was announced, and
the shipment of slaves commenced. Robbins
testifes to the horrors of the middle passage
as follows
On the l4th of February last we came to
anchor off place called DEVILS Point, off
Congo River, and the next morning we up
anchor, ran in near the shore and took our
cargo on board-about six hundred negroes.
There were seven hundred negroes in all, but
about fifty of them were drowned in getting
them off in the boats, and the balance we
left. We commenced taking in cargo about
half.past eight o'clock A. N and finished
at FIVE P. M.-then slipped anchor, leaving
both chain and anchor, and steered for the
coast Of Cuba. Before leaving the African
coast we took on board beans, corn, beef,
hogs and SON goats.
The first land we saw was the Islands OF
Martinique and Charlotte, between which
we steered. About week afterward we
came in sight of land and took on board 9
Spaniard, a pilot. In about week we
landed at Cuba, running the ship aground.
Three small boats came off with Span
lard in each, and with these boats and the
ships two whale boats we landed the ne
groes. We landed about five hundred, and
they we're taken in covered carts about si1
miles into the country on to a plantation
Many were suffocated on the passage tc
Cuba, SO that out of the seven hundred
slaves we landed somewhere in the vicinity
of five hundred-men, women and children.
The crew left the vessel as soon as the cargo
was landed, leaving on board four or Ave
Spaniards. / saw no more of the vessel, but
supposed she was burned, as saw a fire anC
smoke. They put US in asugar-house, In tht
upper story, the negroes being confined
below, and kept US there eighteen days. unit
arrangements were made for sending US in {
fishing smack to Key West. All left e1cep
Jackson, the mate, and Thomas Jeffrey, who
remained behind and Frank Standish, who
died in Cuba. The foremast hands were
paid $500 each. The mate and steward were
left on the COST of Africa, and two men
came on board there, both Spaniards, one
acting as Captain, the other as surgeon.

Whatever may be said to the contrary, it
does cost great deal Of money to be gem
tleman, and q great deal more to be lady.
Where the mistress of the house has TO be a
nurse and domestic servant as we'll as q
wife, she will be sure to sink the last char
acter in the first. Unless a woman has ex-
traordinary health and vigor her husband
will enjoy very little of her society if she is
always looking after the children or the diH-
ner; and, If both he and she are reed to
spend a great deal of time and thought in
contriviDg ways to make their income cover
their expenses, their mind will be very apt
to assume a petty cast and will be fixed for
the most part on small aud somewhat sordid,
though important objects. The obscure diff
fculties and struggles of such mode of life
are, in plain truth, great enemies both to re-
finement and to high aims in life. A couple
to whom every sixpence is an object, have
to think and talk a great deal about six
pences. Although it is perfectly right that
they should do so, it would be better for
them both to be free from the obligation.
1t follows from this that the desire to keep
up appearances is neither an empty nor a
vulgar one, for the appearances so kept up
cover substantial realities. 1t is quite true
that the first and perhaps the most obvious
result of the sort OF marriage which is so
warmly advocated, is loss of social station /;
but the reason why that loss is incurred is,
that such marriages almost always render
possessions of great Importance extremely
precarious. They endanger the independence
and the refinement of those who contract
them, and they make it probable that they
will become the parents of children who will
hold position in life altogether different
from their own. This simple account of the
matter will continue to be the true one 80
long as the average energy and selfrestraint

changed. Whether or no such a risk is
worth running, and such price worth pay
ing for the qualification of affection, is sep
arate question but it is of great Importance
to understand rightly what the price really
is CornhiH Mdgdzins.

A BRAVE SoLDIER.-A brave officer, who

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-In the mountains of
Tyrol it is the custom of the women and
children to come out when it is bedtime and
sing their national songs until they hear
their husbands, fathers and brothers answer
On the shores of the Adriatic such a custom
prevails. There the wives of the fishermen
come down about sunset and sing a melody.
After singing the first stanzas they listen
awhile for an answering melody from off the
water; and continue TO sing and listen till
the well known voice comes borne on the
waters, telling that the loved one is almost
home. How sweet to the weary fisherman,
as the shadows gather around him, must be
the songs Of the Owed onts at home, that
sing to cheer him. and how they must
strengthen and tighten the links that bind
together these humble dwellers by the sea
Truly It is among the lowly in this life that
we find some Of the most beautiful customs
in practice.

A CONFIDENCE GAME--The custom of max
ing a certain class of debts confidential has
been perverted into an instrument Of fraud.
To illustrate: A jobber finds his credit linn
tied, and arranges with one or two leading
commission and importing houses that what
ever goods he buys of them shall, in case of
his failure, be made Confidential" and with
further understanding that he shall be per-
mitted to refer to them, and they shall re-
commend him for credit. 1t is said that this
practice is carried far beyond any conception
ing parties for credit under such circum-
stances are simply guilty of fraud, and fur
thermore make themselves legally liable to
those whom they thus inveigle into the sale
of goods. Some rare discoveries of this char
acter have been made, and measures are be-
ing taken to test their legality.-JourHdl Of
