ICE.-Besides the fact that ice is light
er than water, there is another curious
thing about it, which most people do not
know, perhaps-namely, its purity. A
lump of ice melted will become pure dis
titled water. When the early navigators
of the Arctic seas got out of water, they
melted fragments of those vast noun
tains of ice called iceburgs, and were as
tonished to find that they yielded only
fresh water. They thought that they
were frozen sea water, not knowing that
they were formed on the land and in
some way launched into the sea. But if
they had been right the result would
have been the same. The fact is, that
water in freezing turns out of it all that
is not water-salt, air coloring matters,
and all impurities. Frozen sea water
makes fresh water ice. If you freeze
basin of indigo water, it will make ice as
clear and white as that made from pure
rain water. When the cold is very sud-
den, these foreign matters have no time
to escape, either by rising or sinking, and
are thus entangled with the ice, but do
not make any part of it.

A CLERICAL ANECDoTE.-Some thirty
five or forty years ago, Mr.. Williams,
q clergyman of the old school, somewhat
eccentric, came to Salem from the coun-
try to exchange desks with one of his
brethren in the ministry. During the
Sabbath noon intermission he said to his
daughter:
am going to lie down. If st. Paul
himself comes, don't disturb me"
Mr.. Bentley, who had preached in the
East Church, who had been very intimate
with Mr.. Williams, but who had not seen
him for several years, hearing that he
was in town, hurried of, after dinner, to
make his old friend call.
"Where is brother Williams?p he in
quired, as he met the daughter.
He can't be disturbed, sir, even if
St. Paul should CALI
4" / must see him |" was the impatient
rejoinder, in the inimitable manner pc.
culiar to Mr.. Bentley.
Resistance to such a mast was out OF
the question. The room Of the sleeper
was invaded, and with no gentle shake
and corresponding voice, Mr.. William;
was aroused. He was delighted to see
his old friend Bentley, reiterating with
fervency his qualification.
[ think Brother Williams, that you
are little inconsistent"
"How so, Brother Bentley"
"Didn't you tell your daughter you
were not to be disturbed even if St
Paul called? ? Yet you seem very glad tc
see me-"
No, no, brother; not inconsistent al
all. l was-I am-glad to see you. TIL,
Apostle Paul why, l hope to spend ,
blessed eternity with him; but you
Brother Bentley-I never expect to SCI
you again"

A CURE FOR Low SPIRITS Exercise
for the body, occupation for the mind;
these are the grand constituents of health
and happiness, the cardinal points upon
which everything turns. Motion seems
to be great preserving principle of ma
ture, to which even inanimate things are
subject for the winds, waves, the earth
itself, are restless, and the waving of
trees, shrubs, and flowers is known to be
an essential part of their economy. A
fixed rule of taking several hours exer-
else every day, if possible, in the open
air, if not, under cover, will be almost
certain to secure one exemption from dis
ease, as well as from attacks of low spir-
its, ennui-that monster who is ever way
laying the rich indolent.
Throw but stone. the giant dies f"
Low spirits cannot exist in the atmos-
phere of bodily and mental activity.

The building of the second raft pro-
gressed but, although everything was
done to hasten it, darkness found it un-
finished, and the crowd unwillingly dis
persed for the night. The Omniscient
alone can tell how thatpoor, forlorn soul
passed the dark, dreary hours that in
tervened before morning-sleepless from
necessity-weary, lonely, with the waters
raging like unclaimed beasts all around
him, and the great abyss of terror yawn-
ing almost at his feet Some sweet hope
must have sustained him in that trying
time, or the morning would have found
him dead there upon the rock of his
dreadful exile.
Daylight came, and with it the eager
crowds fastened back to their points of
sight. The incoming trains all that day
brought more and more spectators, and
before noon the bridge was literally
crowded with them, leaving but small
space in the centre for the workmen with
the raft and on either side the bank
was lined-nay, packed-with spectators.
There were thousands upon thousands
present, all eager, curious and yet SYM
pathetic. Avery appeared as on the day
before, still hopeful, eating and drinking
what was sent down to him, motioning
with his hands and arms, and watching
all that was done on the bridge and the
shore.
The crisis of the excitement arrived
when, about the middle of the second
day, the second raft was launched from
the bridge upon the hurrying food.
Strong and willing hands held the ropes,
and it was cautiously lowered until it al
most touched.the spot where the castaway
stood. With bound he placed himself
erect on the raft /; and then arose such a
shout of rejoicing from the lips of that
multitude that it was heard even above
the roaring of the waters.
1t was a short-lived joy. The ropes
were manned by all the hands that could
find place, and the raft struggled up
little way in the teeth of the rapids, and
then furious volume of water broke
over and upon it, washing it from end TO
end, and hurling Avery bodily into the
rapids One faint, desperate hope re-
manned to him as the irresistible cur
rent hurried him down he might, by stout
swimming, make the shore of Chapin's
Island, some rods below, and to the west
of him. 1t was a furious, terrible strug-
gle for life and while the multitude held
their breath and looked on, it seemed at
first as though the man might still have
himself He almost reached the shore
of the little island but he never gained
it. Some said that the bush upon which
he laid his hand broke in his grasp,
others thought that his strength left him
when few more strokes would have
saved him. He yielded himself to the
fury of the rapids, and an instant later
his body was hurled over the fatal abyss,
amid the shudders and groans or the
heart-sick spectators.
Those who were nearest the spot where
he went over were certain that his dy-
ing shrek, full Of the horror of despair,
articulated the name Mary Frank
lin Fits, in Packards Monthly, for Sept
ember.
