Miss Emma Willard.

From the n. Y. Post.
One Of the most eminent women in the
country died Friday. Mrs. Emma Willard
was distinguished in many ways. She was
the author of many useful treatises, several
of which still hold their place astext-books
in many of our best institutions of learn
ing. She had fine poetic taste, and some
OF her verses are familiar as household
words throughout the country; especially
the devout and expressive hymn, Rocked
IN the Cradle of the Deep, which was
actually composed by her during a storm
at sea, and viii continue for years af-
ter she has passed away to afford to pious
Voyagers a comfortable expression of their
trust. In vide circle OF personal friend
ship, and especially among the poor and
suffering in the City of Troy, where she
has spent long and active life, she will
be remembered for her sincere kindness.
deep sympathy, strong friendships and
genuine beneficenee.
But the work to which Mrs Willard gave
her best years and most earnest efforts was
that of the higher education Of women.
She was almost the first person in the Uni
ted States to give efactual and practical
force to the Iong-felt want of a higher
standard of culture in female schools.
She has lived to see the complete tri-
umph of her just and noble views; and
thus to obtain The highest reward a sincere
reformer can desire. Who would now ven
ture to question the rule she adopted mure
than forty years ago, that women ought to
enjoy a culture adapted TO their own work
IN life, yet equal in richness and complete
ness to that provided for men? Mrs Viii
lard had attained the ripe age of eighty
four years.

The Gold Mines in Eeya Scotia.

We cannot be unlnterested In the gold
mines ofNovas Scotia and of the Hastings
District OF Canada. as their proximity to
US has attracted the attention, and, to a
considerable extent, the money of our citi-
zens. In Nova Scotia the number of mines
IN operation increased from 69 in January,
1869, to 81 at the close of the year. The
amount of quartz raised seems rather to
have diminished; but the yield of gold
from it improved during that time at least
40 per cent. Ghe amount of quartz crush
ed during the year was 35, 424 tons, yield
ing 1865 ounces of gold, or nearly one
than the quartz of Australia, where three
eighths of an ounce to the tun is named as
good re Ult. The richest quartz in Nova
Scotia, found in the Montague district,
curiously enough gives the exact proper
tion-about OF. pwts. per ton of one of
the best California mines, the Eureka, of
Grass Valley, from which more than half
million dollars was taken in 1869. But
there is great variety of fortune Ia min
ing TO the north of Us. In one district on
the island the quartz only yielded two
penny-weights per ton, and the London
assays Of the Hastings ores are equally di-
vergent from. each other. Two of the lat
ter, taken from the same lots, varied from
SIC or SIT to $3.50 per ton. And it may
be added that the wisdom of experts re-
specting pyrites and quartz, as to the COM
parative value of different ores and mines.
takes shape in opinions as diverse as the
profits of the miners.

a friend on visit stops, but does not stay;
you order something to be fetched, not

the times when all quarterly rents are due
never March 31st, June Both, September
30th, and December 31st; it is the rental
of house you pay, not the rent; au-
tumn is the late season of the year, not
fall; hedges, shrubs, and trees are quick,
not alive; and you ask that two or more
things may be done at once Cat one tiae),

FIGHTING THE REGAL TIGER.
Prince Aifred's Great Tiger Humt-35
Elephants in the Field.

Prince Alfred, the Duke OF Edinburgh, is
enjoying himself greatly in India. In Feb
ruary he was magnifcently entertained
near the boundaries of Nepaul, by Sir Jung
Bahadoor, a native Prince, of immense
wealth. fHs
The Duke reached his camp on banks of
the Mohan river, which separates Dude
from Nepaul, at $50 on the morning of the
23d of February. Soon afterward Sir
Jung Bahadoor, who was eneamped on the
opposite bank, came across to meet and
congratulate his royal guest. He was in
full state costume, and wore a
splendid head-dress valued at thirty five
thousand dollars in gold. After pleasant
interview, Sir Jung Bahadoor having laid
aside his elegant attire and replaced it by
a hunting costume, the two Princes set out
for the great tiger hunt which the Indian
host had planned for the entertainment of
the Royal English sportsman. The battle
which followed is described as absolutely
unique. There were upward of $50 hunt
ing elephants in the field; tiger was soon
started our of the jungle, and by mastery
management was gradually SO hemmed in
by elephants that at last these formed
complete circle of not more than sixty
yards diameter, with only the Prince, Sir
Jung Bahadoor, and the tiger in the centra
space.
When the latter realized his situation,
he ran roaring round and round the circle
trying to find an exit, and at last made
rush at what seemed probably the weakest
point in the circle. This, however. was
just in front of the Dukes elephant, and
well directed shot from his Royal High
ness rolled him over, though it took two
or three more balls to finish him. 1t was
an understood thing that no one but the
Duke was to fire, and to give an idea of Sir
Jungs consummate courtesy, it may be
noticed that he had dismounted from his
own elephant and climbed into the state
howdab, which by his orders had been
prepared for the Duke, where he sat be-
hind his royal visitor, not firing himself,
but handing gun after gun to the Duke as
he required them.
The dinner that night in camp is said to
have been, considering where it was, sight
of itself worth o journey. About p. m.
the tent door opened, and in long defile en-
tered a string of Goorkhas, bringing trays
of presents beautiful knives, elephants
teeth tiger skins, China silks, musk pods,
the current coins of NepaUl, and a small
elephant, (who objected very much to the
festiyities), and last, Though not least in
teresting), baby tiger, only ten days or a
fortnight old, which made itself quite at
home on the table with the dessert, and al
lowed itself to be caressed and made pet
of at once.

AT THE SOUTHAMPTON POLICE COURT Ser
geant Holdaway made the following state
ment: On Monday night, at about half-past
eight, having received numerous complaints
that cellar was being let to number of
boys at two shillings week, he went TO
see lrto the matter. On reaching the cell
lar the police found the door shut, and that
a watch was on guard. He got in, and
discovered about thirty children, from the
ages of about five to ten. A stage had been
erected, as well as scenery, and several
boys were performing. He found that the
children obtained the money for admission,
which was one penny each, in some cases
by dishonesty. The pices performed ap-
peared to be those of the 'Jack Sheppard"
style. The scenery and dresses were
brought into court, and included the royal
arms of England! There was also q hat,
which was evidently made with view of
giving romantic appearance to the wear
er, and of initiating the representations
which are given in low-class periodicals of
highwaymen.

DISCHARGE OF LIVING FISH FROM Vol
CANoEs.-It is a curious fact that feature
of volcanic discharge in South America
often consists in the election of immense
numbers of fish, usually of one species,
thrown out sometimes in such quantities
as to poison the air and spread disease by
their exhalations. The fish IN question
belongs to the same natural order as the
fresh-water catfish, with which every enc
in the United States is well acquainted. It
has been taken alive in some of the lakes in
the sides of the Andes, at an elevation Of
eight or ten thousand feet above the sea
and it is supposed that these lakes COM
municate with reservoirs in the interior,
from which the fish are elected by the vol
cano. Specimens were obtained by Prof
Orton, on his late expedition to Ecuador,
and have been identified as the CycIOpiaun
h,tnlbOldtii of naturalists.
1t is very remarkable, however, that
these fish, although sometimes thrown out
in half boiled state, are generally TN
cooked, and some Of them indeed are alive
when they reach the surface of the earth.

barely getting living and gIowling
about their poor luck. Now, we
assert that there is a good reason
for their poor success, and that luck has
but little, if anything at all, to do with it.
If we take the trouble to ascertain the real
facts in their several cases, we shall find
that those young men who became masters
in their trades, or leading men in their
pursuits, were not afraid to work, and were
determined to succeed. They looked be-
yond the day and week. They made them
selves valuable and useful to their employ
ers, by being always faithful, reliable and
willing to do what they could for the inter
est of those for whom they worked. When
a press of business came, they were ready
and willing to work extra hours. and with
out sulking or grumbling, well know
ing that business must be attended
to when it came, and that there were
plenty of dull times during the year, which
would more than counterbalance any extra
briskness of the busy season. To sum it
all up, these young men identified them
selves with the establishments where they
were employed, became useful to their en-
ployers, in fact, fixtures, who could be lily
spared, and in due course of time, having
gained experience, were invited to take
hand with the already established house,
or else boldly strike out for themselves.
Here. then, is the lesson, which is, if you
wish to become successful masters, learn
first to become faithful servants. -Er-
