AN EXAMPLE TO MorHERs.--Queen
Victoria, when at home, regularly teaches
Sunday school class and Bible class for
the benefit of those residing in the palace
and lis vicinity. How attentive she is to
her own children, may be inferred from a
late pleasing circumstance. The Archdea-
con OF London on one occasion was cate
chlslng the young princes. and, being sur
prlsed at the accuracy of their answers.
said to the youngest prince, "your govern
ess deserves great credit for instructing
SO thoroughly in the catechism" >" Upon
which the royal boy responded, "Oh, but it
is mamma who teaches us the catechism."
Many American mothers may take prof
liable hint from this queenly practice.

QUEER Times ABOUT WoMEN,:.-Abo !:

QUEER Times ABOUT WOMEN.-About
women some queer things are. said, which
only the professed satirists have the hardi.
hood to publish. Everybody remembers
Punch's abhorsion that "Men want all they
can get and women all they can't get"
Starr King said in lecture, whenever
three women are walking together, two of
them are laughing. We have ourselves
remarked that of the men and women we
meet in fashionable promenade, the lat
ter as general thing have the more cheer
ful look. An il-natured bachelor, to
whom we mentioned the fact, said it was
owing to their greater pride Of apparel.
"a well-dressed woman said the impu-
dent churl, "is always happy" 1t has
been noticed that invariably fat women
envy the lean ones, and tile lean ones the
fat. -..-...s .,....- ..-.-l
A recent writer contributes the follow
ing: "1he smaller lady is, so much does
she affect sunhower rosettes, enormous
founces and extra-sized ornaments. Di-
minutive ladies invariably giant like gen.
! tlcmen, and vice versa. Ladies who are
greatly admired by their own sex are very
seldom viewed in the same light by gentle
men. Ifyou walk up the street with bo-
quet in your hand, nine women out of ten
will look attentively at it, while not one
man out of ten will notice its existence.
It. is curious fact that those women who
have made the most acquaintances during
long course of years, have by far the bes
memory of faces and persons.
"Although women are supposed to be
the talkative sex, it is not less true that in
learning foreign tongue men acquire
more readily the facility in speaking ii
while ladies understand it bettcr and soon
el when spoken to-" etue

SINGULAR CAsE.-One of our excbauses
says there is a young man in a town in
Vermont who cannot speak to his father
previous to his birth, some difference arose
between his mother and her husband, and
for considerable time she refused.to speak
to him. This difficulty was subsequently
healed-the child was born, and in due
time began to talk-but when sitting with
his father was invariably silent. 1t contin.
ued SO till it was five year old, when the
father, having exhausted his powers of per.
suasion, threatened it with punishment for
stubborness' When the punishment was
inflicted, it ELECTED nothing but sighs and
groans, which told but too plainly that the
little sufferer was vainly endeavering to
speak. All VINO were present united in
this opinion, that it was impossible for the
child to speak to its fathers-and time prov
ed their opinion to be correct. At ma
ture age its efforts to converse with its pa
rent could only produce the most bitter
s!!ghs and greans.-N. Y. Ledger. 'Ia3a

A PET LroE-A gentleman visiting 4

A PET LreE.--A gentleman visiting
house in Algeria, says -" In few mo-
ments the door opened, and lion entered
the room, the man only leading him by the
tutt OF his name. He was a magnificent
animal, two years old, and full grown. all
but his name, which, although but a foot
long, made, nevertheless, respectable ap4

turned on his back to be scratched. After
scratch or two he began to yawn, and
was fairly settling himself for nap, when
cigar wes pnffed in his face, proceeding
he evidently did not approve of. Rising
in hurry, curling his lips, and wrinkling
ms nose, he exposed to view splendid
set OF teeth, a sure sign that he was not
pleased. A hearty sneeze seemed to re-
store him to good temper; and bearing no
malice, he returned a friendly pat, bestow-
ed on him by Capt. Martenot, who had
been the aggressor, by rubbing his head
caressingly on his knees" ."-Kennedp's A.

ART OF SwlMMING.-Men are drowned
by raising theiGarms above water, the un-
buoyed weight of which depresses the head.
Other animals have neither motion nor
ability to act in a similar manner, and
therefore swim naturally. When man
falls into deep water he will rise to the
surface, and will continue there if he does
not elevate his hands. If he moves his
hands under water in any way he pleases,
his head will rise so high as to allow him
free liberty to breathe, and if he will use
his legs as in the act of walking (or rather
walking up stairs his shoulders will rise
above the water, So that lie may use less
exertion with his hands or apply them to
some other purpose. These plain direc-
tious may be found highly advantageous in
preserving life.

A RIGHTEoUs DEBT PAID IN Full
Some thiry-fve years ago, St. Peters
Church in Bainbridge needing a bell, the
members of that church and others raised
portion of the amount required for the
purpose, and sent Hon. John g. Clark, and
Capt. John Newton, then of their village,
aud active men of the society, to Troy to
make the purchase. While on the way
they came across Hon. John G. Mcdowell,
of Chemung county, and then State Sem
ator, and casually made known to him
their errand, and that they had not funds
enough to make payment in full. With
characteristic liberality, Judge Mcdowell
rendered them the amount needed, exact
ing only the promise that the bell should
be toled when he should pass away.
The bell was bought elevated into its
place in the tower of St. Peters and hung
there for all of those years, calling wor-
shippers to church, and communicates to
the sacrament, and ringing merry peals
for merry weddings; it has tolled for the
dead, and tolled again at their burial -
And so years have passed, until few
weeks ago, when Judge Mcdowell himself
passed away, and the old bell which had
told of SO many deaths of those who had
gathered at its bidding, and who are laid
to rest with4 sound of its own echoings
told out mournfully and slow, as it spoke
of his death, and who aided in its purchase
and who now sleeps his last sleep among
the valleys and hills of his distant home

THE OCEAN BOTTOM,

Mr.. Green, the famous diver, tells sin
gular stories of his adventures when making
search in the deep waters of the ocean.-
He gives me some new sketches of what
he saw at the "Silver Banks" near Hayti:
The banks of the coral on which my
divings were made are about forty miles
in length, ,and from ten to twenty in breadth
On this bank of coral is presented to the
diver one of the most beautiful and sublime
scenes the eye ever beheld. The water
7aries from ten to one hundred feet in
depth, and is so clear that the diver can see
from two to three hundred feet when sub
merged, with but little obstruction to the
sight. ... i. -r........ ...... ........
The bottom of the ocean in many places
is as smooth as marble foo. In others it
is Studded with coral columns from ten to
one hundred feet in height, and from one
to eighty ieet in diameter. The tops Of
those more lofty support a myriad ofpyra-
midal pendants, each forming more, giving
the reality to the imaginary abode of some
water nymph. In other places the pen
dants form arch after arch; and as the di-
yer stands on the bottom of the ocean and
gazes through the deep winding avenues,
he finds they will fill him with as sacred
an awe as if he were in some old cathedral
which had long been burieo beneath old
ocean waves. Here and there the coral
extends even to the surface of the water,
as if the loftier columns we're towers be-
longing to these stately temples that are
now in ruins.
There are countless varieties of diminu-
tive trees, shrubs and plants in every crew
ice of the corals where water had deposit
ed the earth. They were all of a faint
hue, owing to the pale light they received,
although Of every shade, and entirely diff
terent from any plants that | am familiar
with that vegetate upon dry land ! one in
particular attracted my attention; it re-
sembled a sea-tan of immense size, of va
riegated colorS and the most brilliant hues.
The fish which inhabit these Silver Banks
found as different in kind as the scenery
was varied. They were of all forms, col
ors and sizes-from those of the synmet
rical goby to the globe like sun-fsh -
from those Of the dullest hue to the change
able dolphin from the spots of the leop-
ard to the hues of the sunbeam from the
harmless minnow to the voracious shark.
There were also fish which resembled
plants, aud remained as fixed in their posi-
ton as a shrub the only power they pos
sess is to open ond shut, when liz danger.
Some of them resembled the rose in full
bloom, and were of all hues. These were
the ribbon fish, from four or FIVE inches to
three feet in length their eyes are very
large, and protrude like those of frog.
Another fish was spotted like leopard,
from three TO ten feet in length. They
build their houses like beavers, in which
they spawn, and the male and female
watch the egg until it matches.

She told him, then, the story of her day
leaving out nothing. He could see how
deeply she had been moved, by the color
which came and went ON her cheeks, the
tears which gathered unheeded in hel
eyes. When she was all through. she
said hesitating y H. 49,.
"John, we are very happy, aren't we"

"AnG we owe something, don't we, tc
those who are less so? Think, John, if
had lost you as she has lost her husband
And if had only not lost you, but had
afterwards no way to live p
She paused, as if for some encourage
ment, but she received none. John Lane
was beginning to get glimpse of a new
phase IN his little wife's character, and he
meant that she should bring out her own
ideas unaided She went on, timidly
enough, but very earnestly:
"a part of two hundred dollars, John
would buy that woman the necessaries
which would make her comfortable, and
she would soon be well again, for her dis
ease is only the result of overwork and
exposure. The rest of it would buy her a
sewing machine, and she could get along
nicely with that. She wouldn't need any
more help" .......
Still Mr.. Lane was silent, and she drew
little nearer to him, and began smoothing
his big fingers with her own little ones.
II know, john, dear" she said, coaxing-
ly, that two hundred dollars would be too
much to ask you for, in most cases. for
any one charity; but | have so set my
heart on really and substantially helping
this poor beIeft woman. Our drawing

know y0u thought it would do this morn
ing. And if just this once. l might have
the two hundred dollars to do this great
deed with, and keep the old carpet down
1T would make me so happy. Just think,
John, that poor widow and those little
children would say your name every day
in THEN prayers, and they would be made
comfortable for life. May /, John %
John Lane bent down and kissed the
eager, tender face. Pm afraid his eyes
were too dim just then to see all its bright
ness.
"Are you sure. DEAR" he asked gently,
"that you would be satisfied with the old
crapet !"~a: = ....r--..
''Quite sure, John. 1t shall last as long
as the Wilton would. Oh, John, never
did any good in my life. Let me do this
little now." ... ...-...
'Annie you shall .. ..-- ..
The great, manly heart was too full, just
then, for many words; but by the firm
clasp which held her so tenderly, Annie
Lane knew that her husband was not dis
pleased .r'" - .r
She carried out all her plans. BY Au-
gust, Mrs. Stanton was well again, and the
sewing machine stood at tn, window of
her comfortably furnished room. TO her
the face of Annie Lane seems like the face
of an angel. Gods messenger she has
indeed been to the widow and fatherless, l
think there is one woman whose heart will
never again be moved to envy by Wilton
carpets, or wide bordered shawls, since
she has tasted the luxury of doing good
