A Night Among Vikings.

The scene is laid in Gamie Norge, in
Norway, visited by some English lady
travellers, one of whom describes it: 1
have not told you of the interruption of
our first nights repose in our new home.
Nestled in elder down and lulled by the
;a,,ar; :f tl,e cir thrpneh the stove,,ipe.
home thoughts and longings over the
wild waters which we were so glad to be
done with. woke suddenly, my heart
beating wildly with fright, to find the
room quite dark and filled with a sound
so unearthly that for an instant 1 dare
not move. The cry ceased and arose
again-long, weird, melancholy, dis
cordant. Before it died away 1 was at
the window with Janet, who was equally
startled and had hurried to my room
that we might meet the catastrophe to-
gether. Again it came. This time
louder, nearer-was taken up at some
distance, swelled into a horrid chorus
and ceased just as all the neighboring
clocks struck twelve. "The watchman;
only the watchman," affirmed Janet.
She was right; and calming ourselves to
this bit of common sense we went to bed
again, to sleep till morning. Nowplease
don't think exaggerated the hideous
unearthliness of the sound; how it can
proceed from human lungs am at loss
to imagine. I believe they do assist ma
ture by using some kind of horn. I'M
agine a number of donkeys, lunatic,
heart broken and gifted with articula-
ton, parading the streets at dead of
night to awake the inhabitants with the
information that the clocks are soon ex-
pected to strike, that the wind is blow
ing generally southwest, and conse-
quently y rain pouring from cloudy sky,
but that otherwise calls WE'LL" and
everybody may go to sleep again-im-
agine all this, and you have an idea of
what the Bergenese endure every hour
of every night all the year round. I
never hear it without thinking of the
dead-carts plying through the streets OF
plague-stricken city to the doleful cry
Bring out your dead"

Perry's Flagship.

The remains are queer looking mass.
The port side has been cut down nearly
to the keel, planking having been torn
off and ribs sawed off by those who
thought it was no harm to steal a piece
Of wood off the Lawrence, and this has
been kept up until at least third of her
bottom has gone. The Lawrence lay
on her starboard side, and that side is,
therefore, tolerably whole to her deck
beams upper works all gone years ago),
and the timber is, in general, sound and
in good condition, but is purple black
the result of the action of the water.
Of the twenty-seven killed in that
naval engagement twenty-five were
killed on the Lawrence, on board OF
which was the intrepid Perry. The
Lawrence was one hundred feet long,
twenty-eight feet beam, and nine feet
depth of hold. In her time she was 9
model war vessel, but in these days ol
iron-clads, monitor rams and heavy ar,
mament she would not last as long in al
engagement as yawl boat in a hurri
cane. She fulfilled her mission, how,
ever, and gave our English cousins
cause to remember her contemporary
and Perry's famous victory.

Want Some NitrO.Glycerine {!

The Laramie (Wy. Ter Sun of recent
date says: About ten days since the
engineer of freight train, near Bryan,
heard terrible cracking noise, and
thought something must be wrong with
his engine. The train was stopped,
when it was discovered that something
was leaking from the car, near the engine,
and that the loud reports were caused by
the wheels passing over drops of the
fiuid which n.,z,,, mo trnol.
The car was opened, and number of
large tanks found upon the inside
labeled "Glycerine. The horrible
truth then burst upon the train men that
they were hauling whole car load Of
that terrible explosive compound, nitro
glycerine. The Car was side-tracked
and left at Granger, where spur track
was built, and the car run out upon it
away from the main deck. 1t will re-
main there, and the citizens and railroad
officials are alike at loss to know what
to do with it. The car is consigned to
some firm in San Francisco, but the
shippers cannot be found, although the
company have made most stringent
efforts to discover them. The owners
are respectfully requested to come for
wrad. prove property, and take it away.

Suffering the Penalties.

To all who know the early history of
Carl Schurz the name of Herr Kruger,
of Spandau, Germany, is fraught with
interesting memories. After the trying
days of 1848, when Mr.. Schurz escaped
from confinement in the fortress of
Spandau, Kruger gave him shelter be-
meath his own roof. In country where
everything savoring of treason was as
harshly dealt with as in Germany, this
act demanded no small degree of cour-
age. Indeed, Krreger soon learned
what it cost to trife with the law. A
rumor reached the ears of the authorities
that he had given aid and comfort to
two rebels; and forthwith his estate was
confscated, his business broken up, a
small Office which he held under govern
ment taken away, and himself thrown
into prison. He survived these trials,
retrieved his fortunes to some extent,
and passed his remaining days in COM
parative ease. Lately he died at the
ripe age of seventy-six years, surround
ed by loving relatives and friends, and
all the peaceful, pleasant associations
which rob the long valley of its shadow.

Buying ON Credits

The practice of buying on credit the
necessary articles of the household is
fatal to good economy. The housekeep-
er has always to pay dearer when she
does not pay cash. The tradesman
must have interest for his money, for
man will never in busy community be
willing, and is seldom able, if he were
willing, to forego it. To the ordinary
cash price of the article he therefore
adds the interest which may accrue dur
ing the time that credit is allowed.
This, moreover, is not all there must
be premium exacted by the dealer for
the risk he runs in trusting his goods to
that class of more or less dangerous Gus
mers who never pay ready money.
Even the most honestly disposed of
these are often unsafe debtors for they
are generally such as are imprudent
enough to anticipate their incomes, and
to overrun them in expenditure. The
credit system, moreover, is tempta-
tion to unnecessary purchases There is
a sort of check in sight and touch of the
hard-won money to the disposition to
dispose of it lightly. On the other hand
there is something in the facility o.
credit, removing as it doc IS the disagreea
BILE necessity of payment to vague
future, very seductive to the buyer wht
can crafty his love of possession with
momentary sonse, at any rate, that it
qualification costs hirn nothing. Their
is no such cheap and cautious purchase
as cash.

The Origin of Coal.

The discovery of diatoms in coal, by
Count Castracane, recently announced,
is of much interest, as throwing addi-
tional light on the mode of formation of
carboniferous coal. These minute forms
of plant life have not been recognised
in any but very modern formation but
Count Castracane has succeededin in show
ing that they date from the palaozoic
carboniferous period. He says: "All
the forms 1 have been able to observe
among the ashes of the coal present such
an appearance that the most practiced
and sharpest eye could not detect the
slightest difference between them and
actually living diatoms: outline, struc
ture, shape, and number of the futings
in short, all the peculiarities which
characterize the species that we meet
with in the state of actual vegetation
agree exactly with those of the carbonif-
erous period" 1t can scarcely be denied
that the existence of these minute
forms of aquatic vegetation in the sub
stance of carboniferous coal goes to
confirm the view of those who hold that
this mineral has been formed in pres
ence of water, and the great preponder-
ance of fresh water forms of the diato-
mace@ proves that this was fresh water ;
still the occasional occurrence OF marine
forms leads to the inference that the
waters of the ocean occasionally had ac-
cess to the lagoons or inland lakes.
In fine, the presence of diatoms, taken
in connection with the strategraphical
phenomena of carboniferous coal beds,
appears to bear out the views of those
who hold that the mineral has been
formed from the decay of successive
generations of plants and forest trees,
growing with their stems partly i'm
mersed in the stagnant waters of vast
lagoons, these lagoons being nearly on a
level with the waters of the sea, which
sometimes gained access to them, and
carried with them marine forms.

Getting Married.

Every young girl, nowadays, expects
to get a rich husband, and, therefore,
rich men ought to be abundant. In the
country we admit that girls are some
times brought up with an idea of work,
and with suspicion that each may
chance to win a steady, sober, good
looking, industrious young man, who
will he compelled to earn by severe
labor the subsistence of himself and
family. There are not so many brought
up with such ideas now, even in this
country, as there used to be ; but there
are some, and they, consequently, learn
how to become worthy helpmates to
such worthy partners. But in town it
is different. From the highest to the
lowest class in life the prevailing idea
with all is that marriage is to lift them
at once above all necessity for exertion,
and even the servant girl dresses and
reasons as if she entertained romantic
confidence in her Cinderella-like destiny
of marrying a prince, or, at least, Of
being fallen in love with and married
by some wealthy gentleman if not by
some nobleman in disguise.
That is why so many young men fear
to marry. The young women they meet
are all SO imbued with notions of mar
riage SO utterly incompatible with the
ordinary relations of life in their station;
they are so wholly inexperienced in the
economy of the household they have
been taught, or have taught themselves,
such "noble disdain for all kinds of
family industry they have acquired
such expectations of lady-like ease and
elegance in the matrimonial connection,
that to wed any one of them is to secure
life long lease of domestic unhappi-
ness, and purchase wretchedness,
poverty and despair.
All this is wrong and shouldb be amend
ed. Such fallacies do not become a
sensible people. Our grandfathers and
mothers had more wisdom than this.
The present age is much too fast one
in this respect. Let us sober down a
little. Let every young woman be
taught ideas of life and expectations in
marriage suitable to condition, and she
will not be 50 often disappointed.
Should she be fortunate and wed above
that condition, she may readily learn
the new duties becoming to it, and will
not have been injured by having pos
sessed herself of those fitting a station
below. Let her anticipate always a
marriage with one in the humber walks
of ife-and then should she happen to
do better her good fortune will be more
delightful.
