SUNRISE on THE MEDITERRANEAN

SUNRISE ON THE MEDITERRANEAN.
1.-THE effect of sunrise on the Mediter-
anean," writes a correspondent of the
Boston Globe, "was a revelation to be-
hold, and only comparable with the sun
set in this beautiful and historic region.
At first gray light on the horizon her
aided the coming god, while, as it in
creased in brightness, those sleepless SEN
tinels of the night, the stars, gradually
tainted phantom-like away; and then
came up out of the waves the brilliant
sun, too dazzling to look upon, lighting
up the dewy morning and dotting the
whole scene of mountain and valley in
wondrous beauty. I have seen the sur
rise and set upon our American prairies
west of the Missouri, and had though
that New England summer sunset was
beyond comparison; but, alas! my expe
rience was sadly defective until this de
lightful contamination at the foot of tn,
Alps"

A New Hampshire clergyman, spend
ing the summer for the sake of his
health on Star Island, volunteered to
preach in an unoccupied church during
his stay. The church was accordingly
opened, and he ministered to their relig-
ious wants through the season. But he
did not learn how highly his efforts were
appreciated until his departure, when
his magnanimous listeners sent him a
bill for the use of the church.

SAFETY OF ANEsTHETIcs.--If the
force of statistics be Of any value, ether
appears beyond question, to be the safe
est anesthetic. By combining Ameri-
can and British data relating to this
question, the result shows conclusively
tha, chloroform is eight times az dan
gerous as either, twice as dangerous as a
mixture of chloroform and ether, and,
as far as experience goes, il is more dan
gerous than biehloride Of methylene.
The report of the London Chloroform
Committee, appointed to investigate this
subject, states not only is ether less dam
gerous than chloroform, but that with
every care, and the most exact dilution
of the chloroform yapor by the most
skillful hands, the state of insensibility
may pass in few moments into one Of
imminent death.

An old colored preacher, prior TO taking
a collection to pay a church debt, made
the following good, though homely, ex-
h0rtation: "Ive known many n church
to die cause it didn't give enough, but
/ never knowed a church TO die cause it
gave to much. Dey don't die dat wayl
Brederen, has any Of you knowed a
church to die cause it gave too much?
If you do, just let me know, and I'll
make a pilgrimage to dat church, and
I'll climb by de soft light Of de moon
to its moss-eovered roof, and I'll stand
dar and lift my hands to heaven and say,
Blessed are de dead dat die in dc Lord. ~

A Brooklyn jury gave a verdict in q
breach of promise case, yesterday, which
exempts traitorous 'puppy-love' from pc
cuniary responsibility. A young man
sued and won, but concluded not to mar
ry; then the young lady sued, and won
only the information that her quandom
lover was able to plead the provisions Of
the baby act, he being under age. The
vision Of getting $4,000 IN return for
her fractured affections was dispelled,
and the oak, about which she once
thought Of twining, has shrunken mp 10
a sanlin.

A TRAVELLING CoLLEGE.-A brilliant
idea is evolved out of the brain-pan of
down-east reformer, who is dissatisfied
with the semi-monastic character of our
American colleges, and proposes what
he calls a Steamship college" He
would fit up frst-class steamer with all
the appliances necessary to make it an
institution of learning, and would take
on board as many pupils as it would ac-
commodate, and set out for some distant
land. Each trip would constitute a
term, and there would be four trips a
year, each to a new part of the world
Actual observation, assisted and guided
by books and competent instructors,
would constitute the principal part Of
the curriculum of this floating school,
and the latest developments of science
and the languages and history and act.
ual condition of the countries visited
would be the main object of study.
