A Sad, Sad Story.

twenty-five years ago, says q letter
writer, a company Of young people,
farmers. sons and daughters, To- the
number Of thirty-two, drove in tile early
morning down 10 the ancient little city
OF Amboy, New jersey, to embark in a
sloop for IA sail down the waters OF one
of the prcttiest bays that wash the At
lantic coast. Arrived at Sandy Hook,
they feasied, fished and froicked and
fiirted, too, no doubt, for the wash-tub
and the dairy can never deprive the
daughters of Eve Of Their prerogaiive.
At the close Of the afternoon they pre-
pared for glorious bath in the surf of
Florida CIR, We, the young men retiring
round tie point, leaving their fair friends
IN unembuIrassed enjoyment of the sit.
uation. Upon their return the young
turner's saw sight that might well
strike terror to the stoulesl heart. The
cruel undertow had sucked the poor
girls down 10 their deaths, md the
waves had cast their bodies on to the
sands from whence they had dashed so
merrily into the rolling suri short half
hour before and not one II the whole
party was left alive, Sadly the young
men bore the remains OF sisters, friend
and sweetheart back to their homes, now
made desolate indeed, and widespread
was the grief and anguish in the hithel'-
to happy township Of Piscataway. There
was not a family that did not mourn the
loss of a beloved child and daughter;
and such was the shock produced by
the terrible occurrence throughout the
whole State Of New Jersey that the
memory of it is preserved to this day,
and the story told by those who listened
to it first, perhaps, from the lips OF
sorowful eyewitness.

Not a Pleasant Ride.

Interesting accounts have been given
of frides with actual or supposed lunatics,
and some OF the criminal records Of the
European cities give graphic leminis-
cences OF criminals as companions on
railway and coach routes. But one ex-
perience OF Wagder of Newgate prison,
in a van loaded with criminals, is told
in the Pal Nall Gazette, as follows:
Itseems that the prison van WAS con-
veying fifteen convicts who had been
sentenced TO long terms of penal servi-
tude at the last session of the Criminal
Court from Newgate to the House Of
Correction at Pentonvile. One warder
was stationed inside the van, in a small
space Between the compartments, and
another wurder on the step of the We
hicle The journey passed offpleasan!ly
enough until the van reached Islngton,
when one Of the prisoners began to break
in the inner panel nf his cell. His ex-
ample was followed by three others. and
there appeared every prospect Of des.
perate struggle ensuing; Ill the mean
time the warder inside had given tie
alarm to the warder outside, who COM
municated the danger to the diver
The horses were accordingly urged to a
rapid pace, and dashed upwsrd toward
Pentonville Prison in the lopes Of AZ
irving there before the convicts succeed
ed in regaining their liberty. 1t must
hive been an exciting moment as the van
flew through the narrow streets with
this wild turmoil going on within its
gloomy panels. At last the haven was
reached in safety, and the relief of the
warder inside when he found himself
within its gates and handed over his
passengers to the Pentonvil!e officials
may be more easily imagined than de-
scribed p. .....". .. ..U... .r

The Way TO Keep Sunday.

The Lords day is good day in which
to learn to love you nGighbor as your
self / do not think it is a great sin if
your neighbor has his side door open on
the Sabbath day for you to walk across
the hlwn and sit on his porch, and talk
with him Of seemly things. l think the
Lord likes that i do not think that if
your household is more radiant, and
your children wake and say, las I never
did, "Thank God, il is Sunday"-I
don't think that il you make it the best
day Of the week, and your children are
good nutured, aud joyful that they are
any the worse i believe in letting out
the harness n little. Ibelieve in making
the holes for the buckle a little lower
down. Let our Lords day be q church
day in the II orning and family day the
rest Of the time. think that we preach
too much. I think we overteach and
ovcrtax in the Sabbath school. think
we are making the Lnrd,s day lahnrinus-
lido not think we use Sunday enough
to make the iamlIy liner, sweeter, more
homogeneous, more social aud so more
religious. see many, many men who
come to church stern and stiff. They
would not for all the world ride in u
street car on Sunday--no; nor 60 over
the ferry on Sunday--no; nor do any
thing at home that made them agreeable
mol! I do not hold up their way Of
keeping the Sabbath as model Sum-
day is a day of household love- 1t isa
day in which the children ought to feel
that their fatEer aud mother never we've
so handsome before, and never so good.
1t is day in which ever part Of the
household should. at the going down of
the sun, be able to say, "Thank God for
this open door Of heaven, which hns
poured ou: so many happy hours on
us ."

Realities Of Manhood.

To the boy, the world beyond his i'm
mediate SURROUNDINGS is only picture
He does not know how real are the sor-
rows, the passions, The ambitions of men.
Its absorbing interest, its heroes and its
martyrs, are heard Of by him without
understanding, on with indifference
His sport, his lessons, bis home life, are
alone real, But there will come change
The ordinary slow growth into manhood,
with its business OF professional pursuits
and widening relations, or startling
event, such as the death of parent, or
some intellectual or spiritual appeal,
striking out the latent soul, Will make
vivid and earnest what was indistinct
and uninteresting. Like stercscopic
picture before it isl put in the storescopic,
the life Of men has no body or reality;
but when the hoy awakens as with the
picture within the instrument SO with
him. soldiy and naturalnesss will be
acquired by the external world, and Ee
will feel that it is henccGorth to live and
move amongst these grander and gravcr
forms. Many mistakes will lie commit,
false estimates will he form Of proper
ton and perspective, the earnestness of
new conceptions will hurry him into ex-
travagances and generous errors, but If
there is truth in his nature, and noble
ness in his spirit, just views will be
formed, and the day in which it is given
him to work will find him not unmind-
full of the responsibility which arises
from a knowledge of the coming night.
