The Shin of Death.

Since the time when the Ancient
Mariner told the terrible tale of the
curse-laden ship with her crew of
ghastly corpses, no more thrilling
story of the sea has been related than
that of the whale ship Diana, that
recently drifted into one of the shet-
land Islands.
A year ago she left the Shetlands
on a whaling voyage to the Arctic
regions, having on board fifty men.
From that time nothing was heard
of her. the friends of those on board
became alarmed. Money was raised
and premiums offered to the first YES
sci that would bring tidings of the
missing ship, but all to no avail.
Hope was almost abandoned.
On the I'd of April the people near
Rona's Voc, in one of the Shetland
Isles, were startled at seeing ghast-
ly wreck of a ship sailing into the
harbor. Battered and ice-crushed,
sails and cordage cut away, boats
and spars cut up for fuel in the ter
rible Arctic winter, her decks covered
with dead and dying, the long lost
Djano sailed in like a ship from the
Deadman's Land. Fifty men sailed
out of Lerwick in her on a bright
May morning last year. All of the
fifty came back on her on the I'd Of
April this year; the same, yet how
different!
Ten men, Of whom the Captain
was one, lay stiffened corpses on the
deck; thirty-fve lay helplessIy sick,
some dying; two retained sufficient
strength to creep aIoft, and the Other
three crawled feebly about the deck.
The ship was boarded by the island
ers, and, as they climbed over the
bulwarls, the man at the wheel fel
fainting from excitement; one Of the
sick died as he lay, his death being
announced by the fellow occupant Of
his berth feebly moaning stake away
this dead man." On the bridge o
the vessel lay the body Of the Cap
tain, as it had lain for four months
with nine of his dead shipmates by
his side, all decently laid out by thost
who soon expected to share their fate
The survivors could not bear t.
sink the bodies Of their comrades in
to the sea, but kept them SO tina
when the last man died the fated shiI
that had been their common home
should be their common tomb. The
surgeon worked faithfully to the last
but cold, hunger, scurvy and dyson
terry were too much for him. Th'
brave old Captain was the first vic
tim and died blessing his men. Their
the others fell, one by one, until thu
ship was tenanted only by the dea(
and dying. One night more at SCI
would have left the Diana floating
coffin. Not one Of the fifty would
have lived to tell the CHASTITY tale.

SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN.
Speech by John Stuart Mill-Why Women
Should Vote.
MOMAN's INFLUENCE.

" OMAN > lNElbEhCE'
The time is come when women, if not raised
to the level of men, men Will be pulled down
to theirs. A laugh. The women OF mans
family are either the stimulus and support OF
his higher aspirations, or drag upon MN.
You may keep them ignorant OF poltlcs, Ut
you cannot keep them from concerning them
selves with the least respectable part OF pom
tics-its personalities. Hear, hear If They
do not understand and cannot enter into the
mans feelings OF public duty, they do notcare
about his private interests, and that Is the
scale into which their weight Is certain to oe
thrown. They are an influence always at hand,
cooperating with its selfish promptlngs,
watching and taking advantage of every mo-
ment of moral irresolution, and doubling the
strength of every temptation. Even IL tney
maintain modest neutrality, their mere an
sence of sympathy hangs as dead weight on
his moral nature, and makes him ayerse TO IN
eur sacrifices which they will feel, and to fore
90 worldly successes and advantages in Whlch
they would share for the sake OF objects when
they cannot appreciate.
But suppose him to be happily preserved
from temptation to an actual sacrifice OF con
science, the insensible influence OF the higher
part Of his own nature is still dcplorable I'm
der an idle notion that the beauties OF charac-
ter of the two sexes are mutually lncompatl-
| bic, men are afraid of manly women Ia laugh ;
| but those who have reflected on the nature ana
power of social influences know that when
manly men. A laugh Men and women are
really companions. If the women are trivol-
Gus the men will be frivolous. Ifwomen care
only for personal interests and trifing amuse'
ments men in general will care for little else.
The two sexes must now rise and sink togrth-
| er.
| woMAN'S INTEREST IN PUBLIC QUESTIONS.
It may be said that women can take interest
in great national questions without having a
vote. Certainly they can but how many OF
them will? All that society and education
can do is exhausted in intoxicating in women
that their rule Of conduct ought to be what
society expects from them. And the denial
of the vote is q proclamation ineligible tc
every one, that society does not expect them
TO concern themselves with public questions
Why, the whole of a girls thoughts
and feelings are toned down by it from theil
earliest school days. She does not take the
interest even in national history that boy
does, because it is to be no business of hers
when she grows up. Ifthere are wonderland
fortunately there are nOw-who do care about
those subjects and study them, it is because
the force within is powerful enough to bear NJ
against the worst kind of discouragemen,
that which acts not by interposing obstacles
which may be struggled against, but by dead
ening the spirit which faces and cOnquers OBJ

Volcanic ERUPTION at Sea.

An interesting letter has just been received
by Mr.. William Logan, Glasgow, from the
Rev. Geo. Turner, missionary, author of
"Ninteen years in Polynesia" dated Samoa,
or Navigator's Islands, South Pacific, Noyem-
Der %, 1860. We make the following extract:
"On the 18th of September a little after
noon, q connection was observed in the deep,
blue sea, about a mile and half from Olosen-
ga, and three and half from Tau. 1t APP
peared like surf breaking over a sunken
rock. Some thought it might be a whale
blowing, and others that it was a shoal of
bonito. The unusual cOmmotiOn continued
all day, and by the following morning, at day
light, volcanic action was unmistakable. At
first the eruptiOns were at intervals of about
an hour. They went on increasing for two
days, and on the fifteenth there were fifty in
the hour. For three days longer there was one
continued succession OF outbursts. The natives
gazed in amazement at the great jets of mud
and dense columns OF other volcanic matter
rising in terrific grandeur two thousand feet
above the level of the sea. These again
branched out into clouds of dust, blacke 8ng
the sky and covering up Olosenga from the
sight of the people on Tau. The roar of the
eruptions, and the collision and crash Of the
masses of rock, met in their downward course
from the clouds by others flying up were fear
full. Quantities of fused Obsidian, too, threw
off the most lovely Fragments which shone
and sparkled in the sunshine like thousands
of pendants from crystal gasolier. No flame
CLEAN Of fire seen in the matter thrown up
The sea was most violently agitated, and
boiled and dubbed furiOuSly in great basin
half mile in diameter. After q time the
ocean had light sulphur tinge Tor ten miles
around. Heaps Of dead fish were washed
ashore, and among them deep sea monsters
six and twelve feet long, which the natives
had never seen before, and for which they have
no name. The sulphurous vapors, heat and
smoke and ashes soon made the settlement
on Olosenga in line with the volcano unbear-
able, and the people fled to place little way
to the south. A Slight tremulous motion con
tinued to be felt on land, but no assures
opened, nor have any hot springs made their
appearance. The ordinary springs of fresh
water are also unaffected. After three days
the violent action began to abate, and on the
18th Of November, when the teacher from
whom have my information left, there were
only three or four in the twelve hours, and the
height to which the matter was thrown was
reduced to twenty or thirty feet above the lev
ell of the sea. No cone or other uplifting has
appeared above the surface of the ocean, nor
is there any apparent uplifting or subsistence
OF the adjacent small islands.

DO WOMEN WANT THE BALLOT?

We are told that women do not wish for the
suffrage. If this be so, it only proves that
nearly all women are still under its deaden-
ing iniluence-that the Opiate still benumbs
their minds and conscences. But there are
many women who do desire the suffrage, and
have claimed it by petitions to this House
How do we know how many more thousands
there are who have not asked for what they
do not hope to get for fear of being i'll thought
of by men or by other women, or from the
feeling so sedulously cultivated by the whole
of their ducation-ayersion to make them
selves conspicuous. Men must have a great
faculty of sclf-delusion if they suppose that
leading questions put to the ladies of their
families or Of their acquaintance, will elicit
their real sentiments,-will be answered with
entire sincerity by one woman in ten thousand.
No one is so we'll schOOled as most women are
to making virtue of necessity
1t costs but little to disclaim caring for
what is not offered, but frankness in express
ing fully what may be disagreeabe or conflict
those virtues which woman's education tends
to cultivate. At all events, those who donot
care for the suffrage will not use it. Either
they will not register, or if they do, they will
vote as their male relatives advise them, by
which, as the advantages would be about
equally shared between all classes, no harm
would be done. Those who, whether few or
many, do value the privilege, would exercise
it, and so experience the stimulus to their fac
ulties which the suffrage seldom fails to exert
over every class admitted TO share it. Mean
while an unworthy stigma would be taken off
the whole sex. They would no longer be
classed with children, idiots, and lunatics,
laughter or incapable of taking care OF them
selves or others. II only one woman in TWEEN
ty thousand used the vote, it would be gain
to all women to be declared capable of using

no pressure OF necessity, but from a laudable
desire to lind scope for her activity, applied
herself to the study of medicine The doors

admitted to the profession were closed against
her except one-the Apothecaries' Hall

wards so Objectionable did it seem to that
body that they resolved to close the door and

was only an iBStGr 0nlaiunl. A short time ago
women could be associates of the Royal Acad-
envy, but as soon as they had distinguished
themselves this privilege was taken away
from them. Hear, hear. This was the kind
of care taken of women by those who faith
