HARPER'S MAGAZINE.

No more delightful travels are printed i'll
the English language than appear perpetual
ly in Harper's Magazine. They are read with
equal interest and satisfaction by boys of
every age, from eighteen to eighty.
Its scientific papers, while sufficiently pro-
found to demand the attention of the learn
ed, are yet admirably adapted to the popur
lar understanding and designed as much to
diffuse correct Information concerning cur
rent scientific discovery as it could be if it
was the organ of the Society for the Diffu-
sion OF Useful knowledge"
The great design of Harper's is TO give cor
rect information and rational amusement to
the great masses of people. There are few
intelligent American families in which Har-
per's Magazine would not be an appreciated
and highly welcome guest.
There is no monthly magazine that an in
telligent reading family can less afford to be
without. Many magazines are accumulated.
Harper's is edited. There is not a cheaper
magazine published. There is not confess
edly more popular magazine In the world
Ne,c England Homestead.
The most popular in its scheme, the most
original of our magazines.

A company of Yankees, in June last,
sent the brig Nellie Gray, from Proyi-
dence, fitted out with machinery for
submarine explorations, to search for
treasure supposed to have been lost
on the San Pedro de Aleantara, ship
of war, which sank off the coast of
Venezuela, half a century ago. Ar
rangelnents have been made with the
Venezuelan government for a salts
factory division of spoils in case the
object of the expedition is successful,
and late advices state that the wreck
has been found lying in ten fathoms
of water. All three decks are broken
down, and with their guns in con-
fused mass in the lower hold, leaving
the ships sides still standing. Large
quantities of copper fastenings,< brass
trimmings and lead have been raised
from the wreck, but the explorers, on
the second of September, had not found
the kegs of dollars and doubloons,
which form the objective point of their
search, although they were sanguine
of soon reaching them. When through
with the wreck, our enterprising fell
low-countrymen propose to test the
riches of some large beds of pearl
oysters near by, which lie in from five
TO twenty fathoIns of water, and are
beyond the reach of native divers.

RICH JoKE.-The Troy Press says:
A few days ago, at North Adams, the
State Constable seized a jar of rum
and arrested the party in whose pos
session it was found, for selling intox-
icating liquor. The examination before
the District Judge came on, when the
State Constable was sworn and testi-
fed thai he had seized the liquor, and
made detailed statement OF the
facts. Hon. Shepard Thayer, the at
sorney for the prisoner, asked him It
he knew it was liquor. He replied,
eyes, it was rum.n He then asked
how he knew it was rum, he replied
that he drank some of it. The pris-
oner, who was woman, was then
called as a witness in her own behalf,
when the following questions and
answers were put and received:
"Did you have any liquor in your
house when the State Constable called
| there I"
"Yes-I had some rum in a jar
How long have you had it 2"
| .IAbout six months"
" Did you have it for sale 2"
"Oh, no. don't sell liquor"
"What did you have this rum for y
~ kept it to wash the baby i'll"
" Had you ever washed the baby
in this rum ~
"Oh, yes, often! I used to turn
some of it out in dish, wash the
baby in it, and then turn it back in
the jar again"
"Do you mean to say that this was
the same liquor of which the State
Constable drank ~
.The very same"
There was much laughter in the
court, and the State Constable de-
clared that he would seize no more
liquor that was kept in jar. He is
about the only man in North Adams
that will take offense if you ask him
to take drink.

A Touching Story.

The New Orleans Pieayune tells the
following: ",Shortly after the close
of the war, Mrs. Beach, living near
Carrollton, went insane. The cause
of her arrangement was attributed to
the loss of her husband in one of the
numerous conflicts in Virginia. Not
withstanding the unsound condition
of her mimi, she went about her
daily duties as usual, taking care of
her children (she had two, a boy and
II girD, and sewing for their support.
1t was only in conversation that her
inf1mity was apparent, and her utter
aversion for society. Naturally weak
and delicate in her organization, her
overtaxed strength gave way under
the arduous work she performed, and
day, by day, her thin, pale face grew
eareworn, and her soft and silent foot
steps drew nearer and nearer to the
grave. But to all inquiries of friends
about her health, she would say, I'm
we'll; | can't die : who would care
for my little ones?' The sad, lonely
life of the woman excited compassion,
but she would take no aims, She
toiled early and late. But not great
while since she sent fora gentleman
living a short distance from her, and
when he arrived, said to him: 1 am
going to die now; my children are
provided for In less than two days
she was dead; and cotemporaneous
with the fact came the intelligence
that by the death of an uncle, hel
children had become heirs to large
fortune in Maryland"
