A New Island Remarkable Pho
uomena.

A correspondent of the London Times.
writing from Athens, Greece, announces
that new island began to rise above the
level os the sea IN the Bay Of Thera (San-
torin) in the Grecian Archipelago, on the
4ih of February, and in five days it at
tanned the height of from one hundred and
thirty to one hundred and fifty feet, with a
length of upward of three hundred and
fifty feet, and breadth of one hundred
feet. 1t continues to increase, and consists
OF rusty black metallic lava, very heavy,
and resembling half smelte9 scoria which
has boiled up from furnace. II contains
many small whitish semi-transparent par
ticles disseminated through the mass like
quarts or felspar-
The eruption began on the 3lst Of jan
uary. A noise like voleys Of artillery was
heard, but without any earthquake. On
the following day flames issued from the
sea, in part of the bay called Yulkanos,
where the water is always discolored and
impregnated with sulphur from abundant
springs at the bottom. The flames rose at
intervals to the height of fifteen feet and
were seen at times TO issue from the south
western part Of Nea Kaimene- That is
land was soon rent by deep fissure and
the southern part sank considerably.
% the 4th of February the erup;ions
became more violent and the sea more dis
turbed. Gas forced itself up from the
depths with terrific noise, resembling the
bursting of a steam boiler; flames rose at
intervals, and white smoke, rising steadily,
formed an immense column crowned with
g curled capital Of dark heavy clouds
The new island was visible the next morn.
ing, increasing sensibly to the eye as il
rose out Of the sea, at no great distance tc
the south of Nea Kaimane.
The new island has been visited by DR.
Dekigala, man of science and an able
observer, who will record accurately all
the phenomena of the eruption as it pro-
ceeas.
The hea; Of tbs sea rose from 81 FaL
renheit to 1872, as near the scene Of vo,
canic action as it was safe to approach
The bottom Of the sea all round Nea Kai
meme appears to have risen greatly. Il
one place, where the depth is marked OF
Admiralty chart one hundred fathoms, j
was found to be now only thirty; and a
another where it was seveneeea, ii issnou
only three fathoms. Phe new island, as j
increases, viii probably form junction
with Nea Kaimene. 1t grows, as it were,
out of the sea, the mass below pushing
upward that which is already above water.

Advice to a Daughter.
SECOND LETTER.


PLEASANT VALLEY, Jan. 25, 1866.
MY DARLING DAUGHTER Yours of
the 22d, soliciting continuance of my in
struction relative to the best method of Sc
curing and retaining good influence over
your husband, is received. In my last, Of
the 20tb inst, you will recollect that ]
first told you two things you need not do:
LIST. That you need not put on your hus-
bands pantaloons. / did not then Illus
trate that ii would not be pleasant for him,
in a, cold morning, TO get up out Of warm
bed, and not find his pantaloons and then,
on inquiry, find that his wife had got them
on.
| But to return.
2dly. stated that you should not seem
| to know more than your husband. Even
if you do know more than he, you should
3eUer assume superiority on this account.
ii. stated some things that you must
do in order to secure a good and paramount
| Influence over your husband:
lst. stated tha; you must keep alive
and in full force your first love for your
husband. This first, this last, this always.
Love is the handspring Of all good infiu-
eace.
I'd. / stated that you must be careful
hS,0 you ask favors.
And 3dIy and lastly, ! stated that you
nest always study and consult the best
wishcs of your husband.
Toder this head | stated that your In
terests are his interests-and his yours
tbat they were one and inseparable. In
order to do this, you must study economy

that never was full, for down in the straw
wrapped in the robes or on one ofthe four
seats ii contained, there was also room for
one or two more. What groupings of
bright young faces there used to be in il 7
Faces in hoods, in caps, and ia blankets
hearts that have broken; hearts that
have mouldered. And away we went over
the hill, and through the vale, under the
moonlight and under the cloud when the
stars were looking down when the stars
had kindled the world into great jewel /;
but those days have gone forever away I;
and the sweet old necklace Of bells, big in
the middle of the string, and growing
smaller by degrees, has lost its power over
pulses.
In thet old sleigh brides have gone away

DEATH Great ships have gone over the
waters with less hope and happiness than
that rude craft has borne over the bilows
of winter; swan-lke shapes now glance
along the arrowy way; but give us for its
sweet memories of yesterday, the old
sleigh.
Then the days that we were coasters =
and when down by the big hill, by the ma
pie wood, through the little bitches, far
away in the valley we came with merry
shout, each the solitary Palinurus OF his
own small craft. How like flock of swal-
lows we we're, dashing down the declivity,
in among group of sleds, side by side
with rival. Shooting by like an arrow
steering in gallantly ahead like a jockey,
and on our way sled in tow, ere the par
ty had reached the valley below.
And then it was, when the wind had
swept away the snow from the pond and
stregm, and the ice was glare, that we put
on the . rockers" and darted hither an(
thither, and cut skies and eights, anC
curves without number, and drew the girl
that we loved, and whirled them like leave
over the highway of crystal. And tn
schools where we spelt each other down
and the schools where we sang Windhan
| and Near, and the schools where we ci
phered and wrote and "went up;" gone
all gone, teacher and taught, like the melt
ing SHOWS under the rainbows Of April.
And when, sometimes after the grea
:, snow, the winds came cut of the North 70
a frolic, what wreathings and carvings {
the cold alabaster there were; what CO
rinrhian adornings surmounsed the fenc
posts what mouldings were fashioned be
side the way; what fairy-hke caves in th'
drifts what flowers of rare finish ant
pendants Of pearl on the trees.

her table, staring at one of these flowers.

And caused every listener TO smile.

And none may your songs ever hear.
Yes birdie I'd have you be free,

Till listening birds eli your tree,
And flowers wake out Of the ground

Leisure.



Grand Is the leisure Of the earth
She gives her happy myriads birth,
And after harvest fears not death.
But goes 10 sleep In snow wreaths dim.
Dread Is the leisure up above.
The while lie sits, whose name Love,
And waits as Noah did, the dove,
To wit, II she should iiy to him.
lie waits for us, while houseless things,
We beat about with bruised wings
On the dark foods aud water-springs.
The rnincd world, and desoiate sea
With open windows from IL prime
All night, all day he wa.ts sublime,
Until the fullness Of the time
Deereed from Ills eternity.
Where Is our leisure Give us rest
Where Is the quiet We possessed
We must have had 1t onee-were blest
With peace. whose phantoms yet entiee
Sorely the mother Of mankind
Longed for the gardens left behind
For We still prove some yearnings blind,
Inherited from Paradise.

When nought but old mem 'ries remain
The saddest OF visions awaken;

The spirit OF the stock Market.

NEW York, Feb. 1.-The Post says
the loan market is active at soc per
cent. The efforts of a number Of capi-
talists to deposit their funds in the sub
treasury at the close of january SO as
to secure per cent. interest have tend
ed to depfete temporarily, the sup
ply of loanable capital. The strin-
geney of money in the west has also
some effect: on our loan market
here, but there is so large an amount of
surplus capital seeking investment, and
the accumulation of national bank cur
rency is so large that few of our tinan-
cial authorities seem to apprehend any
disturbance of the money market in the
immediate future. Commercial paper
is dull at 7C991<c for first class borrow
ers. The stock market is firm and mod
erately active. Government stocks are
quiet, with a fair demand. Railroad
shares opened with considerable ami
nation and quotations are well sustain
ed, excepting on Hudson and Erie. The
Commercials money article contains
the following: Government stocks are
a fraction better, but excessively dull.
The reduction in the rate of interest
on temporary loans at then sub-treasu-
nv has Increased the demand for gov
eminent stocks, and is the chief cause
of the Improvement in prices. The
connter-demand is quite limited. There
is an active Bull speculation in the
Cleveland and Pittsburgh and ROCK
Island, and both stocks are higher
Gold continues steady. There is great
scarcity in cash gold, and Is per cent.
is paid upon borrowed. gold. The de
mand for customs is very active. and
the Sub-treaSury still relrainS from sell
ing. The growing scarcity produces
strong upward tendency this morning.
The best broker sterling bills in the
market were sold at los, though the
