rendered in the nasal style, peculiar In

pleased the audience not little. Dur

dannsels of uncertain age, dough-nuts

was resumed and closed with the singing
Of Old Hundred In which the audience
was invited to ''iine." The vast assem-

partake of an old-time supper and "chase

edibles, were mush and milk, hot rye

THE FATAL ROCK.


There has been found a large rock in
mid ocean. In was found by an italian
captain, in charge of a vessel who came
well nigh being dashed upon it, except
for the foresight of one on board Of his
vessel. It is out almost in middle of the
Atlantic Ocean, and directly in the track
of vessels that run from New York to
Liverpool. Captain Piascho hove near
enough to measure its top. He finds it
to be about three hundred feet long and
about thirty feet wide, and lies north
and south. 1t is of ared color. When
the tide is high it is under water, when
the tide is low it is out of water from six
to ten feet. A ship might be thrown
upon it and dashed to pieces without
thinking that there was any danger, for
most of the time the rock is under the
water. The seamen consider the dis
covery Of this great rock as an explana-
ton Tor so many vessels never being
heard ffFDm after starting across the At
lantic. Thirteen vessels in about thirty
years have been lost, without anything
ever being heard from them. No doubt
this huge monster has been the cause OF
thousands of human beings sinking be-
meath the waves. How and why this
peak whose foot must rest on
the bottom of the sea should loom up
three miles high, is only known to the
great Creative Mind, and for hundreds
Of years this watery path has been
and never before has it been
discovered, except by the unfortunate
mariners who perished in the waves
about it. The discovery by the Italian
captain, adds a new field to scientific
research as well as being a blessing to
the whole world.
