THE MAEIsrRoN.-Of late years, even the
existence Of the MaelstrOm on the coast Of
Norway has been doubted. The ancient ac-
counts of its terrible power were doubtless
fabulous but the maelstrom actually exists,
and is sometimes dangerous. NJ. Hagerup,
minister of the Norwegian marine has recently
given reliable account of it, in reply to some
questions from correspondent of the Boston
Record. The vast whirl IS caused by the
setting in and out Of the tides between Lofeden
and Mosken, aud is most violent half way
between ebb and food tide. At food and ebb
tide it disappears for about half an hour, but
begins again with the moving of the waters.
Large vessels may pass over it safely in serene
weather, but in a storm it is perilous to the
largest craft. Small boats are not safe near
it, at the time Of It's strongest action in any
weather The whirls in the Maelstrom DO not,
as was once supposed, draw vessels under the
water, or dash them upon the neighboring
shoals. NJ. Hagerup says:
In winter, it not unfrequently happens
that, at sea, bank of clouds shows west
storm, with heavy sea, to be prevailing there,
while further in. on the coast, the clear air
shows that ou the inside of the Westtjord
least side of Lofoden,) the wind blows from
the land, aud sets out through the tjord from
the east. In such cases, especially, an approach
to the Maelstrom is in the highest degree dan
gerous for the stream and undeT-current, from
opposite directions, work there together TO
make the whole passage one single boiling
cauldro0- At such times appear the mighty
whirls which has given it the name of Mael-
strom THAT is, The whiFling or grinding stream,
and in which DO craft whatever can hold its
course. For q steamer, it is, then, quite mad
visable to attempt the passage of the Maelstrom
during winter storm, aud for a sailing vessel,
il may be also bad enough in time Of summer,
should there fall calm or light wind, whereby
the power of the stream becomes greater than
that of the wind, leaving the vessel no longer
under command"

We find the following strange advertisement
in a Salem, Mass, paper: Bosoms-just
opened, \ 6ue bosom for II cents-a very
nice bosom at 25 cents. Our stock of bosoms
is full, and at very low prices" This is the
most frightful picture Of Immortality We have
ever happened to see. The full and " very
nice bosoms are all well euough-in fact they
are rather favorites with the community in
that shape; but the idea Of opening" them
at l. and a5 cents, is shameful and We hope
that Salem may never say anything more

That all may reach the rugged nights
And drink from Wisdom's ril.
He holds Progression helm

He roams with Science through her realm,
And bears Truths gonfalon:
Art, through his cunning, lives

Formation OF FULGURITEs-In June 1859,
a violent thunderstorm occurred at Oldenburg.
Germany On the Haute river, four workmen
were on board Of a dredging boat, occupied n
deepening the new bed for the river, when all!
at once the lightning struck the shore close to
them they appeared at the same instant to
be struck violently on the head with q soft
body. Having recovered from the shock, they
perceived smoke rising from point on the
shore; they ran 10 the place, and in the burnt
grass they discovered, about seven yards from
the water, two holes near one another, and
their edges surrounded with q Bhitish sand.
They dag carefully, and found in each hole q
tube, that they were unable to extract entire
on account Of its fragility; but they followed
them as far as the marshy soil situated under
the sand. There were two fulgurites, having
the ordinary appearance, being round and thin
as sheets of paper. perfectly enamelled on the
inside, but garnished on the exterior with
grains of sand there we're also, here and there
on the outside. spots Of green oxide of iron, of
the color of bottle-glass The soil was formed
of about three inches of vegetable earth on the
surface, then came twenty inches of white sand,
and lastly the boggy earth. The fulgurite be-
gan and ended at the superior and inferior sur
faces of the bed of sand. The principal frag-
ments have been placed in the museum Of

MINIsTERING ANGELs.-The beautiful have
gone, with their blossoms, from the gaze OF
human eyes. Soft eyes that made it spring
time in our hearts are seen no more. We
have loved the light of many smile that has
faded from US now. and our hearts have light
ened with sweet singing voices, that now are
hushed in the silence of death. Seats are left
vacant in our earthly homes, which none again
can fill. Kindred, friends, and loved ones have
passed away, one by one. Our hearts are left
desoate We are lonely without them. They
have passed with their love, away TO the land
from whence they can never return. Shall we
never see them again? Memory turns with
lingering regret to recall their smiles, and the
loved tones of their dear familiar voices. In
fancy they are often by our side, but their
home is one bright shore They visit US in
dreams floating over our memory, like shadows
over the streams OF moon-lit waters.
When the heart is wrung with anguish aud
the weary soul is bowed with grief, do they
not come and whisper thoughts OF comfort and
hope? Yes sweet memory brings them to
us ana the love we bear them lifts the heart
from earthly aspirations, and We long to see
them in that better land. They hover around
US, the ETHEREAL, dear departed ones, the loving
and the loved, they watch with eyes that slum-
Der not. When gentle dreams are wandering
to the angel land, in whispers wakes the hymn
ing sweet of that bright happy choir, reveal
ing many tale of hope and bliss, and tender
ness, and love. They tell of sunny realms, ne'er
viewed by mortal eye, of forms arrayed in fade
less beauty, and sound forth lofty anthems to
their great Creators praise in sweet seraphic
numbers. And this bright vision Of the blest
dissolves the tumut of lifes iarring scenes; they
fade in air, and then we glory in the thought
that we are heirs Of immortality. And Thy is it
that We regard with such deep reverence and
love, those bright celestial beings of another
sphere? Ab ! it is because they take an in
terest il our welfare, and joy over our success
in the great battle of lie they are not purely
selfish in their happiness, but fain would have
US share it with them

VERY STRANGE, IF TEUE.-As man was
walking in his garden, he discovered two
clothes horses He took them into his stable,
where he broke them. He then put the yolk
of an egg upon their necks, attached them to
a cart by the bonds Of friendship, and covered
them with sheet of lightning to protect them
from the flies. He then leaped upon the cart,
set upon the seat Of government, took the whip
of a top in one hand and the reins Of several
kings in the other. and drove of, passing thro'
the gates of Buffalo. over the ground coffee for
three miles; but in crossing the track of
snail he was run into by train of thought
and dashed heels over head into a stream Of
eloGuence, where the cart was broken against
the rock of a cradle. By industry and irugali-
ty he soon gained the shore, where he made
boat of the bark of a prairie vol, which he
fitted with mast of the north pole and two
auction sales. He then sailed down to its
mouth, and landed on a tongue Of land, where
be was seized by a serious sensation and con-
veyed to a CELL where be was secured By a
chain lightning fastened by ,huuderbolt.-
The jailor gave him his liberty for a Christ
mas present, and read bin the report of
cannon.
