"RoCKET contributes the following
sparks to the Boston Commercial Bulletin:
Notwithstanding darkness reigns, it
may be very dry night.
The color of the wind was discovered
by the man who went out and found it
blue.
"You cannot see any better with light
breeze, nor tell the weight of the wind ON
a balance sheet.
"When the mercury stands at ninety de-
grees in the shade, you had better sit
down yourself; you may sit up, how
ever, all night
"If you are out in driving storm, don't
attempt to hold the rains"
THE New York Ray says: ave hope
| none of our readers will be tempted by the
seductive whitenesss and marvellous
cheapness of the sponges displayed by
itinerant venders, to rashly invest ten
cent stamp in what appears to be beauti-
full product of the seas. That unblem-
ished tint is artificial, and the marvellous
cellular structure dangerous. Certain par
ties make a regular businesss of buying up
countless pounds of sponge which have
done service at hospitals upon suppurating
limbs and bodies, and are positively con-
tagious, though they may subsequently
have undergone the process of partial
purifcation in steam vats. The immacu-
late purity is the result of the chemical ac-
/ ton of chlorine. The seeds of disease are
undoubtedly conveyed within the sponges
bought on the street; and an examination
| of several reveals that the cleansing pro-
cess has been only partial. Whether
these dangerous articles are procured by
unprincipled men through the connivaDce
| of hospital managers or attaches, we do
not know; but certain it is, that several
institutions here, and at Philadelphia, have
the reputation of disposing of large quan
titles"
| FROM Gloucester, Mass, comes the
story of sailing boat, merry with bridal
| party, that went out to sea and came not
back again. The wedding had been cele-
| brated in the morning, and the party were
to leave for New York at night, so, to fill
the measure of the day, went roaming
over beach and scar, and finally gathered
in the boat for short sail upon a sea that
scarcely rippled. 1t wLs the last that was
heard of them. Whether upset by a sud-
den squall, or borne out to mid-ocean by
L.. = NJ. In
| to tell the story of the death, and through
the lonely easements of the mansion, eyes
that are dry and fearless look down over
the waste of waters, searching for a sail
that does not come.
Do the doctors know that half the wives
in the world die of negative kindness /?
"He never spoke an unkind word to his
wife" Yes, but did he remember,
now and then, to speak kind one ?
Did he have any sympathy for her
bodily or mental ails. Or was he
blind and deaf to both, treating them with
that cutting indifference which in time
chills the most loving heart, and silences
its throbs forever? Men are very guilty
in this regard. They take a young girl
from loving, cheerful home; and, after
few brief weeks of devotion, leave her
to battle, single handed, with new cares
and new duties, and TO bear sickness with
what courage she may; and go their ways
into the tangled paths of life without a
thought of the responsibilities they are
shirking, or the solemn vows they have
really broken.-Erchqnge
