Scotch Hymn.

To Mrs. A. IL, r.
There are blossoms that hae bu.ded.
Been blighted il the cauld,
An lammies that hae persisted,
Because they left the fauld;
But cover ye in aneath His wings
VIVA died upon the tree,
AM gathers in His bosom
Helpless weans like you and ms.
In the warld there's tribufation,
In the warld there is wac;
But the warld it is bonnie,
For our Father made it sac;
Then BRIGHTEN up your armor,
An be happy as We gang,
Though your sky be aften clouded,
1t Wilma be for lang.

Nos. 266 and 268 Wabash avenue, bui1t by this
old established house to replace, and more than
reproduce, the maryels of their noble store on
State street, burned in the Great Fire. Every
feature Of this elegant store calls for admiration,
and it is visited by hundreds Of mere aght-Heors,
and by even larger number who, obedient to
the instinct Of tho season, are gift-makers.
Messrs. Giles, Brother l. Co. have developed a

THE DEAD. SEA.-being without an
outlet, evaporation is the only escape of
the water pouring into it by the river
Jordan and some other streams. Each
brings into that extraordinary reservoir,
which is a depression i'll the earths crust
thirteen hundred feet below the water
level Of tho Mediterranean, ap immense
mass of materials which must at last fill
it up, when the Jordan will then run on
beyond and find on outlet to the sea, if
the world remains in its present physical
form long enough. The Jordan watts
down ninety cubic yards of water every
second. Each day it carries in six and
half bushels of salt, liberated from
rocks, on its passage, in each ninety
cubic yards. Therefore that dreadfully
salt, bitter reservoir has nearly reached
the point of saturation. When no more
salt can be dissolved, then it will accu-
mulate on the irregular bottom TIL it
reaches quite near the present surface
It's future will have qsite as much in
terest for coming ages as its past history,

THE MISSISSIPPI STEAMBOAT DISASTER.
The Coroner held an inquest on the
bodies of the victims OF the Oceanus dis
aster. George Kei9htly, first engineer.
testified that the Oceanus was inspected
last December at New Orleans and found
fully up to the requirements OF the law ;
her boilers were rated at 1877 pounds OF
steam ; the inspector set the valves at
that figure and locked them; the explo,
sion occurred while crossing the river
from the Missouri shore the steamer
struck the bar when in the middle Of the
river; witness had been Oh his watch
about fifteen minutes, and during thai
time he examined the water in the boil
ers twice, and found it at three III the
larboard, two in the starhoad, and two
in the middle boiler; the reason there
was more watertt the larboard than in the
other boilers was because the boat was
listed the list; was caused by the boat
making turn thinks the middle boil
err exploded first, and thought the mud
drum had been struck by snag, but
now thinks that the mud.drnm or some
of its connecting pipes gave way in con-
sequence of the boat striking the bar, and
that the explosion resulted therefrom !;
thinks the boiler was carrying about 100
pounds of steam when the explosion &c
CURED the boilers and mud-drum were
blown out at Cairo this was done ut every
change Of watches the boilers were
thoroughly cleaned out at Shreveport and
