Going Down into the Sea.

The International for January has Il
remarkable article OH "Deep Sea Ex-
plOrations," by Prof. Carpenter. A
diver can only explore the sea to the
depth of about one hundred and
twenty feet. But the most delicate
instruments have been constructed
that can give us reports from the very
bottom Of the sea. The cords i'm use
are about the size of Il quill, and these
If made of the finest hemp, will bear
a strain of more than half a ton. The
sounding brass Is long, hollow
brass rod, fitted with valves that
open upward so as to close upon and
retain any water or sediment gath
cred at the bottom. The sinkers
weigh one hundred pounds each, and
are SO hung that when the rod touches
bottom they fall off and remain there.
The pressure exerted by the water on
the apparatus is about a ton to every
square inch for every 1890 feet of
depth so that to reach the bottom of
the Atlantic in its greatest depth a
weight of five tons to the square inch
must be Endorsed. The results of the
recent explorations make us almost
as well acquainted with the currents;
the hills and plains, the sediments,
the strange inhabitants and plants,
the thermometrical condition of the
deep seas, as we are with those of the
continents.

The Sweetness or Home.

He who has no home has not the
sweetest pleasure of life. He feels
not the thousand endearments that
fill the void of his aching heart, and
while away his leisure moments i'm
the sweetest of LIES joy. Is misfOr-
tune your lot? You will find well
come from hearts beating true to your
own. The chosen partner of your
tolls has smile of appreciation when
others have deserted, a hand to help
when all others refuse, and Il heart TO
feel your SORROWS as If they were her
own. Perhaps a smiling cherub, with
prattling glee and joyous laugh, will
drive sorrow from your care-wOrn
brow, and inclOse it i'm wreaths of
domestic bliss.
No matter how humble that home
may be, how destitute It's stores, or
how poorly its inmates are clad, il
true hearts dwell there, il Is still a
home. A cheerful, prudent wife,
Obedfent and affectionate children,
will give pOSSessOrs more real JOY
than bags of gold and worldly hon
OTIS.
The home of temperate, indus
triOus and honest man will be his
greatest JOY. He comes to il weary
and worn, but the music of the merry
laugh and the happy voices of his
children cheer him. A plain but
beautiful meal awaits him. Envy,
ambition and strife have no place
there, and with u clear conscience he
laws his weary limbs down to rest in
the bosom of his family, and under
the protecting care of the poor mans
friend.

The Fickleness OF Man.

a late case of breach of promise
before the Liverpool Assizes, Illus
trates the fickleness of man. Mr..
George Henry Wilkes became salts
fed that his wife was not the kind of
q woman for him, and so procured Il
divorce. Shortly alter, he met Miss
INITIAL. To meet Miss INITIAL was to
love her, and Wilkes was infatuated.
He proposed and was accepted. The
wedding day was fixed. The young
lady was happy. Wilkes was jubi-
liant. They were to have been mar
ried ON the 18th of October last; but
by an unlucky chance, Wilkes went
up to London. There he saw his
former wife. The seductive smiles of
his prior partner proved as effective
now as when she captured him years
before, and to make long story short,
Wilkes surrendered. They went
straightway to a priest and were mar
ried. While they were reveling in
their secondhand bliss, poor Miss
INITIAL sat in the shadows mt home
sorrOwing for the lost one. Finally
her bruised and mangled feelings
reused her to action, and she sued
Mr.. George Wilkes for breach of
promise, laying her damages at e1O,-
600. The jury heard both sides, and
thinking that George Henry had been
carrying things too far, brought I'm a
verdict for the plaintiff In the sum Of
$4,000. This George Henry signified
his willingness to pay, for the graft
ficatiOn of having the matter finally
settled, and went out of the court
singing.

The Man that Spoke Mexican.

Gen. Wood, the brave and heroic
soldier of Buena Vista, was a strict
and rigid disciplinarian as well as a
gallant and accomplished officer. The
following "gOOd un," which Captain
TObin tells us happened I'm camp,
must have excited the fiery little
General to a degree. While sitting
i'm his marquee, Mexican was
ushered into his presence whose de-
meanOr denoted the importance of
some weighty communication which
Inc wished to deliver.
The General could not speak Span
ish, and his interpreter was sought
lin vain. A long specimen OF Suck
or, who from tho outer style of his
dress, the General took perhaps for a
ranger, happened ut the moment to
straggle past.
"COme here, my man." called out
the General. With an air of perfect
nonchalancc the sucker doffed his
battered castor, and entered the
tent.
"DO you speak MeXican?" in
quired the General.
Why, General, I rather guess
not"
"Well, can you tell me of one who
does"
"Yes, stree l just cam" answered
the man.
"Quick, then, let me know where
he isl" demanded the irascible COM
mander.
"Why, here" drawled the impcr-
turbable Sucker laying his hand ON
the Mexican with whom 1t was
desired to communicates" he can't
speak anything elSe." Capt. TObin

Many years ago there lived In Nir-
ginia Baptist preacher named b.
Though uneducated he was q sound
thinker and eloquent speaker, and
no minister had more devoted
flock. 1t was the custom during the
Indictment season, to hold meetings
ut the residences of the members, and
once or twice, during the winter, at
the house of the preacher. For years
il was observed that B. neither
preached nor conducted the meeting
when held ut his house, but secured
the services of a neighbOring minis
ter. lie was often pressed for an eX-
PLANTATION, without success but final
w i'm response to the opportunities OF
some of his flock, he gave the follow
ing:
"When / was younger than 1 am
nOw-in fact, not long after the COM
mencement of my ministratiOns-l
helda meeting ut my own house. 1t
being customary for many the con-
gregatiOn to remain for dinner, Mrs.
b. sent our negro boy Tim to our
neighbOr Paul's for butter. Tim re-
turned and located himself, standing
on one foot at a time, in the out
skirts of the congregation. Being
well warmed up i'm my sermon,
thinking neither of Tim nor his err
rands, but only of the most success
full mode of pressing home my strong
est arguments, l demanded with all
the energy i'm my power "And what
did Paul say" Tim ut the top of
his little squeaking voice, exclaimed,
as Tim only could have done, "He
said you couldn't have any more till
you paid for what you got !"
"This brought down the house, and
cut short one of the first efforts of my
early ministry. Since then, l have
kept my preaching disconnected from
my domestic affairs"

The Value OF n Newspaper.

The following is the experience OF a
mechanic concerning the benefit Of a
newspaper:
Ten years ago 1 lived i'm town i'm
Indiana. On returning home one
night, for / am carpenter by trade,
l saw a little girl leave my door, and
/ asked my wife who she was. She
said Mrs. Harris had sent her after
their newspaper, which my wife had
borrowed. AS we sat down to tea my
wife said to me, Ivy name:
Il wish you would subscribe for
the newspaper; it is so much comfort
for me when you are away from
hOme.o
- would like to do So" said J.,
"but you know l owe payment on
the house and lot. 1t will be all l can
do to meet it,"
She replied: off you will take this
paper / will sew for the tailor to pay
for it,"
l subscribed for the paper il came
i'm due time to the shop. While rest
ing one noon and looking over it, l
saw an advertisement of the County
Commissioners to let u bridge that
was to be built. l put i'm a bid for the
bridge, and the job was awarded to
me, on which | cleared $500, which
enabled me to pay for my house and
lot, and for the newspaper. If l had
not subscribed for the newspaper /
should not have known anything
about the contract, and could not
have met my payment on the house
and lot. a mechanic never loses any
thing by taking Il newspaper.

The SlandcrOus Tongue.


The tongue of SANDER is never
tired. In one way or other il man.
ages to keep itself i'm constant en-
plOyment. Sometimes it dips honey
and sometimes gall. 1t is bitter now,
and then sweet. 1t insinuates or
assails directly, according to the cir
cumstances. 1t will hide q curse
under smooth word, and admin
lister poison i'm the phrase of love-
Like death, it Stoves u shining
mark" And il is never so available
and eloquent as when it can blight
the hopes of the nOble-minded, soil
the reputation of the pure, and break
down or destroy the character of the
brave and strong.
What pleasure man or woman can
find i'm such work we have never
been able to see. And yet there is
pleasure of some kind i'm ii to the
multitudes, or they would not betake
themselves to it. Some soul or body
must be gratified by it. But no soul
i'm high estate can take delight i'm it..
1t indicate lapse, tendency toward
chaos, utter dcpravity. 1t proves
that somewhere i'm the soul there is a
weakness, waste, evil nature. Edu-
cation and refinement are no proof
against it. They often serve only to
polish the slanderOus tongue, in
crease its tact, and give it suppleness
and strategy.

THERE was once q German noble
man who had led a foolish and dis
sipated life, neglecting his people, his
family, and his affairs, drinking and
gambling. He had dream one
night which wildly oppressed him.
He saw u figure looking at him with
a serious face and pointing to dial
upon which the hands marked the
hour of Nv. The figure looked mt
him sadly and said these words,
" After four" and disappeared. The
nobleman awoke in great terror,
thinking the vision fOrboded speedy
death. "After fourW What does 1t
mean? IL must mean that he would
die i'm four days. So he set his house
I'm order, sent for the priest, confessed
his sins, and received absolution.
He also sent for his family and
begged their forgiveness for past of
lenses. After arranging his affairs
with his man of business he waited
for death. The four days passed ON
and he did not die. He then con-
cluded the vision meant four weeks.
He did all the good he could, but at
the end of the four weeks he was
still alive. It is plain now, he said,
the vision meant four years, and the
next four years he gave his whole
life and fortune for the improvement
of his people, his nelghbors, his poor,
taking an honorable part In, public
affairs. At the end of four years he
was elected Emperor of Germany.

Critical Periods OF Human Life.

From the age of forty to that of
sixty u man who properly regulates
himself may be considered in the
prime of life. His matured strength
of constitution renders him almost
imperviOus to the attacks of disease,
and all of the functions are i'm the
highest order. Having gone a year
or two past sixty, however, he ar
rives at Il critical period of existence;
the river of death flows before him,
and he remains at a stand-still. But
athwart this river Is n viaduct called
"The Turn of Life" which, ii
crossed in safety, leads TO the valley
of "Old Age" round which the riv-
er winds, and then flows beyond
without q doubt of causeway to effect
its passage. The bridge is, however,
constructed of fragile materials, and
it depends upon how it is trodden,
whether it bend or break. GOut,
apOplexy, and other bad characters
are also i'm the vicinity to waylay the
traveller and thrust him from the
pass; but let him grid up his lOins
and provide himself with perfect
cOmpOsurc. To quote a metaphor,
the "turn of life" has turn either
into a prolonged walk or into the
grave. The system and power, hav.
ing reached their utmost expansion,
now begin either to close, like flowers
Of sunset, or break down eat once.
One injudicious stimulant, single
fatal excitement, may force 1t beyond
its strength, while a careful supply
of props, and the withdrawal of all
that tcndsAO force q plant, will sus-
tain IL in its beauty and vigOr until
night has nearly set in.

Sam Slick ON Lawyers.

Few things resemble each other in
natur' more than an old cunnin' law
yer and a spider. He weaves his
thread into corner with no light to
show the thread of his net, but I'm a
shade like }; there he waits in his dark
office to receive a visitor. A buzzin'
thO'tless fly, thinkin' of nOthin' but
his beautiful wings, and well-made

comes stumbling head over heals into
the net.

And then he ties up one leg, and has

the spider, laughin'; "yOu must pay

DlsraelI.

In his SEVENTEEN year, age and even
sorrow sit lightly upon Disraeli.
Though IL may be said to have been
only yesterday that he cast his garland
of loving regret on the coffin Of
faithful and devoted wife, he has the
same familiar jaunty gaint, the same
gIossiness of head, and almost dan
dyish .faultlessness Of attire, Us OF
yOre. Disraeli is unquestiOnably the
most versatile as well as the shrew-
OF actors who appear on the political
stage OF our British cousins. Still as
proud to he called a man of fashion
as when Willis saw him at Lady
BlessingtOn's, arrayed in brilliant
cOlors and OstentatiOus jewels, he
carries this social art of cOquetry airily
into politics. His smiles beam alike
upon the lord and the peasant. The
favor of his swallow and curl-enfram-
ell cOuntenance, issiren-like manner,
are shed width equal impartiality
upon the rustic of Hughenden, with
whom he hOb-nObs amid bucOlic, bow
ers, and upon the Manchester artisan,
whose horny hand he grasps with
amiable fervOr; upon the brewer,

bishop, whose rubric inspires his
most felicitOus quotations.
The ease with which Disraeli passes
from gay to grave and again from
grave to gay, the grace with which
his facile tongue discusses one minute
of cabbage and crops, and next of the
fall and rise of empires, gain him
more friends than Gladstone attracts
with all his passionate and silvery
Oratory. Disraeli Is equal to any
fortune. The feebler his following i'm
the House, the remOter the prospect
of his return to power, the merrier
seems tho humOr of this political
Mark Tapley, and the more persist
emily and gaily he "chafls" the other
party. When he was Prime Minister,
he used to waive away a troublesome
question with an epigram, and, amid
the laughter which 1t provoked, the
question and the querist were forgot
ten-Lnter- Ocean.

The ear is about as easily deceived
as the eye, and one by little prac-
tice can SO change his voice AS to
make it appear as If proceeding from
some distant object. To perform in
the general line of ventrilOquism, Il
large room Is best, but for producing
echoes u small one will do.
TO produce Il mountain echo turn
your back to the listeners whistle
loud several short, quick notes, just
as il you were whistling to dog
then as quick as possible after the last
note, and as softly and subdued as
possible to be heard, whistle about a
third the number of notes, but il
must he in the same tone or pitch
this will cause the last whistle to APP
pear just like an echo at u great dis
lance. This imitation, if well per-
formed, causes much surprise tothose
listening.
The same thing can be done by
shouting any sentence, such us "IIal-
lOa, you, there |" "Ship ahOy!" Let
your voice be formed close to the lips
then quickly, i'm the same pitch OF
tone, speak the same words very sub
dued, and formed at the back of the
mouth. This is very simple, yet Of
