The Boston correspondent Of the
Hartford Coxrant writes: 1.-The la
test statement with regard to the
future of the atlantic Monthly is to
the effect that its character is to be
radically changed, if not Immediately,
ere long in the future. There are
those who say that it will pass into the
hands of the Methodist denomination
and become their literary organ. Mr.
Houghton, who has purchased it, is .
Methodist; but the impression Of those
who talk in this way is that he has not
bought it for himself. but for the
Methodist denomination. The demon
ination is spending more money in or
ganized literary effort than ever before
Some say it is aiming to found = univer
sity here that shall eclipse Harvard
College. It is believed to have been
contemplating the publication Of q
literary periodical for some time. l.
may be those acting for it found it
better policy to buy the Atlantic and
convert It to their objects than to start
out anew. They save the slow work Of
building up, and they extinguish an
organ Of teresy. If this be SO, the
children Of light have stolen a march,
indeed, upon the children Of the world.

Whilst the lookout on the hurricane
deck startles the passengers at inter-
walls with the sonorous blast of the fog
horn. A cry, heard but seldom, is utter
ed by the officer Of the watch "All

Of the sleepy sai,ors Of the starboard
watch responds to the call, till at

some cases not-unmixed with alarm,
those who are preparing the sounding
line into several small coils, equal in
size aud corresponding in length, and
after all are ready the men string
themselves along the leo bulwarks Of
the gallant vessel, the man holding the
