"THrs BLARsTED CouNTRy."--A cores
pondent Of the Boston Globe, writing from
Nebraska, says 1t is very droll to see the
amazement of our English visitors They
can't comprehend the extent Of this wonder
ful country, so different from their own little
island, while the whill and hurry of our ex-
peditious management in all matters, dazes
them utterly. Not long since there landed in
New York the Mayor of a prominent English
city He wished to travel all over the Union
and understand its growth. Accordingly, hav-
ing made the tour Of prominent Eastern cities,
he purchased tickets for California and started
West. Arrived in Chicago, he inquired if he
were not almost to the Pacific. They inform
ed him that his journey was only commenced.
He meekly took the cars for Omaha, and then
desired to know how much further. Explana-
tions were attempted, and he courageously
went on till he reached Denver Looking out
at the giant mountains, and learning that
after passing them there yet remained two or
three days travel, he surrendered his tickets,
declaring he had seen enough in that direction,
and returning, visited some friends in this
city, declaring that the "blarsted magnitude
of the country bewildered one"

During violent storm, trading vessel was
driven upon high rock on the western coast
of England and immediately became perfect
wreck
Many of the crew persisted, but the captain
and his wife were providentially enabled to
reach this rock and clambered up its sides to
escape from the waves But all danger was
not over. Their place Of shelter was crag
separated from the main land BY deep chan
mel, where the sea rushed with terrific violence
between the rugged cliffs on both sides. The
cold was intense, and they had neither cover
ing nor shelter. The tide was running rapidly
and night was drawing ON.
1t was plain that, unless prompt assistance
was rendered, they could not hope to survive,
Happily they were seen from the neighboring
shore, and boat was Immediately launched
to attempt their deliverance. For the boat to
BILE, and the only alternative was to project a
rope towards them from the shore by means
of a rocket, and then haul them through the
surf within reach of the boat.
After many fruitlcss trials the attempt to
throw the rope was successful. The captain
grasped it with life and death tenacity, and by
means of it a second was drawn from the
shore, and one made fast to the person of each.
The mountain waves with every successive
flow surgcd up to their very feet, and then re-
ceding laid bare the broken and pointed rocks
which were spread out below. 1t was thus
rendered clear that their only way of deliver.
ance was to spring upon the bosom of the
wave at the moment of its highest swell, and
thus be borne safely over the danger and
death which slept beneath the raging pillows
The wife is the first to make the attempt
and is instructed what to do. All is ready
The great wave is seen from distance SWEEP
ing ON nearer and nearer with majestic grand
eur. AT last, 1t swels full at her feet "Now
now p shouted the crew. 'Sprng upon the
wave," cries her husband, with passionate
earnestness.
Alas she trembles, delays, only for a
moment, but that moment is fatal. She leaps
at last, but the wave has rolled by, and she
falls upon the rocks beneath a mangled and
lifeess corpse. The ocean pillows become her
winding-sheet, and the restless winds moan
her requiem.
Her husband, ignorant of her hapless fate
takes the wave at its swell and is saved
Now is the accepted time.

WoRDs.--If but one-half of the words that
are coined every day should be incorporated
with the language, we shall soon require .
new dictionary. Most Of the new arrivals
come from the West, where they no sooner
appear than they pass current The last dread
fnl invention in this connection is the active
verb to lunatic. Ii appears in the following
sentence
'John Harper was arrested on Tuesday for
attempting to lunatic Mrs. Amelia Green
Fortunately she lodged the shot and escaped
being lunaticked OH this occasion. The Eina-
ticker was locked up to answer" From which
it will be surmised that to lunatic signifies to
murder. The process of reasoning by which
this coinage was reached is not difficult to dis
cover. We suppose, if the word be adopted,
we shall be compelled to be subjected to such
phrases aus che has been lunaticking," che
may be Unmatched" ''she was lunaticked'
We fear that foreigners sometimes find it
difficult to read our newspaper language, even
with tolerable fair knowledge of its intrica-
cies What, for instance, could they make of
the following froma Western contemporary
"'rhe mayor galooted up the church aisle,
swashaying and gyrating like Chinese joss
with the jini-jams." We are a progressive
people, even in our language.

GOOD FOR ONE PoUND.-It is said that in
dockyard in England ship of several thou
sand tons was once built, and great multi
tude had assembled to see the launching. The
wedges were knocked away, but the immense
mass remained motonless. Before feeling
of disappointment began to manifest itself, a
little boy ran forward and commenced push
ing vigorously against the sides of the vessel.
His efforts excited the ridicule of the specta-
tors, but he turned Indignantly towards them,
saying, 81 can push pound" and continued
his exertions They were all that was needed
to overcome the friction; and soon the huge
ship yielded to its pressure, gracefully gliding
into the waves.
So many great and noble cause stands mo-
tionless, when perhaps, the efforts of a child
would have overcome the obstacle that binders
its progress. A single grain will turn nice
ly balanced scale. A single word or action, a
glance of the eye, may be fraught with inesti-
mable consequences. We cannot be the judg-
es of the amount of our influence. We know
not how much it accomplishes. We cannot be
aware through what a wide circle it may
spread

A TIGHT SQUEEzE.-The late Mr.. Lyman
Raymond, for many years much respected
merchant at Bridegwater, Vermont, used to
relate the following anecdote of one of his ac-
quantances, and vouched for its truthfulness:
A miller in small town in Vermont was at
intervals temporarily insane for several days
together, and at those times he imagined him
self to be in another word-the world that is
to come-and the Judge fall the EARTH He
built a large platform nearly ten feet high
from the ground. and seated thereon in an arm
CHAIR with a ponderous Bible in hand, he inn
agined q large concourse of people to be before
him, and proceeded to question them concern
ing their former occupation, conduct, etc, ans
werng the inquiries himself. AT length he
came to miller residing in an adjoining town,
and questioned him thus
"What was your occupation in yondcr
world ?"
"a miller, sir.
"Dd you ever steal any grain ?''
eyes, sir.''
"What did you do with it ?'
"Uscd it myself SIR"
"You may go to the wrong side of the ques-
ton" said the pretended judge, unhesitating-
ly.
Finally after judging all others, he proceed
ed to treat himself likewise.
"What was your occupation in yonder
world ?" he asked of himself.
"a miller, sir"
'Dd you ever steal any grain?'

How Much THE Hoe WEIaHED.-A bluff
looking man, in a farmers work day costume
entered railway car at q way station The
car was well filled, and all the seats being oc-
cupied but one, which was half filed by
finely dressed exquisite. The farmer seeing
his only chance for n seat, asked the exquisite
If tother half of that seat was took" Receiv-
ing negative answer, he responded: WAL,
than reckon I'll squat
Like most of our hardy yeomanry, he was
inclined to be sociable
Snug winter morning" said he.
No response.
'.Shouldn't wonder if we had some more
snow afore night"
Still no response from exquisite, who look
ed out of the car window, evidently much an
noyed.
After several futile attempts to elicit some
reply, the farmer gayea yawn and quietly re-
marked, "killeda hog yesterday, but you can't
guess how much he weighed"
Driven almost to desperation, the poor fell
low said smartly--
.Four hundred pounds"
Yawning again.
"No, didn't weight that
swell, three hundred and fifty Them
Another yawn--''No, didn't weigh three
and half.'
Very impatiently--"thre hundred"
Yawning still-''no, not that much.
Almost ready to explode-"How much did
your old hog weigh anyhow9 p, FIG
''Waal he want much ola hog, and didn't

MISCELLANY Y.
ANEcDoTE or JOSEPH III.

Many stories are related of the quaint
all his foibes the spirit of humanity was his
overmastering genius. The Emperor was
walking one day alone upon a public pro-
menade of Vienna, when he met young
woman who seemed to be in great distress
He spoke with her and inquired the cause Of
her sorrow. She informed him that she was
the daughter of a petty officer who had been
killed in the imperial service; that she and
her mother had for u time been enabled to
support themselves by their industry, but
that they were now unemployed, and reduced
to utter want.
''Have you received no assistance from the
governments asked Joseph.
"None" replied the girl.
''Why do you not apply to the Emperor?"
''Ah," was the reply, with sad shake of
the head, ''such step would be worse than
useless"
"Why soa''
because he is cold and stern, and cares
nothing for us who are poor and unfortunate. :"
"Why do you think thus?''
Because | have been SO informed by those
who ought to know
upon my life, my good girl, | believe
you are sadly mistaken. But you shall try
for yourself. The Emperor is my friend, and
is indebted to me. Take this ring, and to-
morrow morning present yourself in the inn
perial ante chamber and show it to the usher.
Bring your mother with you, and fear not.
will answer for the consequences"
The girl took the ring and on the following
morning she and her mother appeared at the
palace. A number of dignitarics were in
waiting for admission to the imperial pre-
sence, but the presentation of the ring gained
them precedence of all others. When the
young lady was introduced to the Emperor
she beheld in him her friend Of the previous
day, and her first impulse was one of alarm in
memory of the words that she had spoken !;
but Joseph quickly treasured her.
''Be not afraid he said, with bengnant
smile. 81 have learned the record of your
brave father, and upon you and your mother
have settled pension which will insure you
against want in time to come. Whatever else
in the future you may believe of Joseph, do
not believe that his heart is cold or unjust"
