and when the happy hour comes that our
country again stands upon peaceful and
more permanent basis, should it happen that
they fail to meet with the same favor that
they have heretofore, let them attribute it to

A Terrible Spectacle.

Early as 998, Errick Rande, Icelandic chief,
fitted out an expedition twenty five galleys
at Sentell. and having manned them with
sufficient crew of coonists. set forth from lee
land to what appeared to bea more congen-
ialiclimate:, They sailed upen the ocean ff-
teen days, and saw no land The next day
bTC6ght with 1t a storm, and many gallant
vessel sunk in the deep. Mountains of ice
covered the water as far as the eve could reach
and but few galleys escaped destruction.
The morning of the l7th was clear aud cloud
less; the sea was calm, and far away to the
northward could be seen the glare ofice-ields
reflected on the sky. The remains of the
shattered fleet gathered together to pursue
their voyage. but the galley of Erick Eande
was not t-iere.
The crew of the galley which was driven
further down than the rest reported that as
the morning broke the large fields of ice that
covered the ocean were driven by the current
past them, and that they beheld the galley Of
Erck Rande borne by resistless force and
speed of the wind before a tremendous field
of ice her crew had lostall control over her,
and were tossing their arms in wild agony.
Scarcely had moment elapsed before 1T was
walled in by a hundred ice hills, and thewhole
mass moved forward and was soon beyond the
horizon. That the galley of the narrator es-
capped was wonderful, it remained however,
uncontradicted. and the vessel of Erick Ran
de was never more seen.
Half a century after that a Danish colony
was established on the western coast of Green.
land. The crew of the vessel which carried
the colonists thither in their excursions into
the interior, crossed range of hills that
stretched to the northward; and had approach
ed nearer the pole than any preceding ad-
venturers. Upon looking down from the sum-
nit of the hills they beheld vast and inter
minable field of ice undulating in various
places, and formed into a thousand grotesque
shapes.
They saw, not far from the shore. figure
of an iced vessel, with glittering icicles in
stead of masts arising from it Curiosity
prompted them to approach, and they beheld
a dismal sight. Figures of men in every at
titude of woe were upon the deck. but they
were icy things then; one fgurc alone stood
erect and with folded arms, leaning against
the mast. A hatchet was procured and the
ice split away, and the features of chieftan
disclosed, pallid and deathly. but free from
decay. This was doubtless the vessel, and
that the form of Errick Rande. Benumbed
with cold, and in the agony of despair, his
crew had fallen around him. The spray of
the ocean and the fogs of the ocean had fro
zen, as it lighted upon them. and covered
each figure with an icy robe, which the short
lived glance of G eenland sun had not time.
to remove. The Danes gazed upon the spec
tacle with trembling eyes. They knew not
but the same might be their fate too. They
knelt down on the deck and muttered pray
er in their native tongue for the souls of the
frozen crew, then hurriedly left the place, for
night was gathering around them

A REMARKABLE VIsIoN.--A solicitor. resi-
dent in the Isle of Wight, had business at
Southampton. He stayed at one of those ho-
tells for which the town of mail steamers is
famous, and after dinner he was looking over
his law papers while he slipped bis port He
was aroused from his foolseap % and red tame
by the opening Of a door Ibis wife (whom
he had left at home-in,the Isle of Wight en-
tered, gazed at him stedfastly, and passed
out through the opposite door. He naturally
thought thatitwas'a 4 h;sllueination. and re-
sumed his reasiiag .lExha a ywondering smile
at his own weakness. But within a quarter
of an hour, the very same thing occurred
again; and there was on, the countenance of
the specter an imploring look which terrified
him. He at once resolved to return home ;
with sowe difficulty got a boatman to take
him across; and when be reached his house.
he was struck by the CHASTITY and alarmed
look of the maid servant who opened the door.
This woman was so frightened by his unex.
pected return, that she spontaneously con
fessed her intention to murder her mistress ;
and her confession was confirmed by the fact
that she mad concealed n carving knife under
her'pillow. This, is very perplexing case for
those who think spectral phenomena can lie
philosophcally explained. Here YOU have
the phantom of a living person projected. en-
tirely without that persons consciousness.
Let it be assumed that person in extreme
peril can, by intense volition, act on the ner-
vous system of the universe, so as to influence
his dearest friend but here the person whose
likeness appeared was entirely devoid of ap-
prehension, while the servant, who alone
knew what was likely to happen, would nat
urally exert no volition towards revealing it.

SUBMISSION PREFERABLE TO REPUDIATIoN.-
Senator Wigiall. in the discussion of the re
bel currency question, a few weeks ago. says
If repudiation is to be the result. he was
prepared to lay down his arms and surrender
at once, for the loss of liberty would be NOR
tolerable than the loss of fhonor. Ifthe cum
try is ruined by the incontinent madness of
the people, every man ofthem will be ruined :
if it is dishonored, they will all share the dis
honor. Let the leaders of the people and the
press explain these matters to the people, in

independence but lose their liberties.

Hush thy sobs and bow thine ear, f.a.

BEST MATERIAL FOR DREss.-In all sea-
sons of the year, and in all climates, the
best material for dress, for old and young,
for strong and weak, is wooen 1t is the
poorest conductor of heat, and therefore Sc
cures the most equable temperature. This
is the principal object of dress. The supe-
riority of woolen clothes for babes is even
greater in July than January. In the
warmest days single thickness Of soft fan
mel will suffice But if linen or cotton be
worn, the garment is soon moistened by per-
spiration, and two or three additional thick
nesses are needed to protect the child against
the effect of draft. In warm weather we
find it necessary to wear woolen garments in
the gymnasium, as protection against a
chill from drafts while perspiring. Black
smiths, glass-blowers, furnace men and 9TH
ers exposed to the highest temperature, find
woolen indispensable. Few practices will
do so much to secure the comfort and pro-
tect the health of children as dressing them
in flannel night and day the year round. 1t
NAV be Objected that flannel irritates deli
cate skin. This is ofteG so as the skin is
now treated But there is no bays SKIN
so thin and delicate that bathing and faith
ful friction may not remove this extreme
susceptibility; and as the skin is the organ
upon which the outer world makes Its I'M
pressions, nothing is more important than
that all morbid susceptibility should be re-
