And the discovery was equally great BY
the workers who, Of course. thought the
island uuluhabi.ed, BY means Of signals
the castaways were assured that .bay would
be taken Of 10 safety BY tho "brig" that
was hourly expected to return for the de
vers to convey them and their spoils to
Melbourne. Iu due time it arrived, aud
with some difficulty what had been secar'
ed from the lost Eagle was safely got on
board the brig. which making tor tss
lowest portion Of the island. secured the
cestaways, and set sail for its destination.
Two days afterwards violent storm arose
and tue sea rose in mountains; the wind
blew With awful fury on to the i.land; in
short, all the clements seemed TO combine
that tho hard won toll should never bs To-
ken from its apparent grave, while tho
castaways felt they had quilted tho wretch

masts and bulwarks Of the brig we're
gone, and her boats swept away. She
was gradually sinking in tac cradle Of tho
deep, aud all on board gave themselves up
on that "vast wilderness Of waters" as If.

saw them; it bore down upon them within
an hour Of the final sinking Of the brig,
aud Her Majcsty's steamer Herald" on
her way from New Zealand port to Mel

A STORY OF THE DEEP.
Gold Seeking Under the Sea.

To the month Of December, 1863, the
ship Eagle started from Hudsop's Bay,
Victoria, Australia, on her her homeward
voyage to England. She was a vessel Of
large tonnage, full rigsed, ohcered and
manned by experienced scamen. She car
ried q full cargo, including an immense
quantity Of gold, copper ore, and . vast
amount Of specie. The passenger list in.
cluded q great number Of wealthy colon
ists, 81 some ig!sa! ea. lhsig..
business; n sseady, fair wind o
her safely out Of port; through the narrow
and always dangerous channels at the
mouth of the harbor, and in few hours
she was to those on the shore "a speck on
The horizon" Tho Captain shaped his
course for the coast Of Vsu Demons Land,
as is usual for all vessels from Melbourne
bound for England, excepting in days Of
contrary winds, when the course is geuer'
ally altered for the intricate and difficult
passage of Bass Straits. The captain OF
the ill.fated Eagle took the latter course
and after some days she was off the New
Zealand coast. Perhaps there is no part
Of the world, not even the English coast,
reoniriog more careful navigation than ln
these |a,itudes The winds are generally
suddenly trcachcrous and gustful. wh'''

suddenly reaching many miles in narro"

from the main land there are var'on>

known for its danger are those Of ,ht
Ancklauds, so often the dread Of the ma.
riner, refuge Of the castaway, aud tn
careful study Of The combined governments
Of the various colonies that constitute the
Australian group. Sixteen days from the
date Of her sailing, the ship on dark
and dusky night, deceived by strong cur
rents. plunged into huge cave in the IRON
bound cliffs of this island The sea was
comparatively smooth, but before the hlgh'
towering land could be distinctly seen.
and the sure and certain destruction Of
the ship, with the soul- on board she was
firmly imbedded between the rocks and
bolders, half Of her hull penetrating the
cave Had the weather been tempestuous

and not o soul left to relate the story. =

merciless island. But before the welcome
daylight came the sea rose in auger' and

sci, as though eager to snatch it from its
moorings and dcvOurit 10 the deep. The
critical position Of the ship left hardly any
hope oflauuching the boats is safety, and
four Of them we're stove in against hel

we're washed overheard, many died il

And set our sails for home,
And when shall come that summons
From shores beyond our view,

To dash the breakers through!

ders and ranks in society owe their origin
or have been made practicable only by the
introduction and use Of machinery as aids
to human industry.
In "the good old times" those who, by
hereditary rights or BY superior prowess
assumed or usurped the right to rule over
the great laboring masses. were content
to have their wants supplied, whether Of
cour,ly display and extravagauce, or Of
predatory warfare upon their rivals; With.
out thought or care as to the amount or
kind Of labor required for gratifying the
demands Of their pride and ambition.
The tillcrs Of the soil. tho artisan and
the manufacturer, oil upon common lev.
el, we're regarded as mere scrfs, useful 90.
Iy as producers Of what was required BY
the higher orders.
Labor saving machinery bas changed
all this. l. hos been the great elevating
and equalisiug agency Of modern times
and made il possible for tho mechanic and
the laborer TO supply his wants and to sur.
round himself with comforts, convenieuces
aud Injuries unknown 10 former times to
even the very highest orders. He is no
longer the serf or dependent Of other ranks.
compelled to devote bis life, subject to
their will, in minstering to tho wants Of
others, for tho mere right Of existence for
himself
All this We owe to The mechanic and
mechanical arts The great movement 10
this direction is still going on at constantly
accelerated ratio. One improvement only
stimulates to another; q comfort or lux
ury for to-day is q necessity for to-mor.
row; one improvement or advance secures
the means aud opportunity for still furth.
or triumphs
The mechanic Of to-day is not defined,
as be once was by a literary lion Of the
old aristocratic court circles, as "a low,
mean fellow" lie may, it bo improves
his opportunities, be the peer Of men q
any rank or profession.
