THE HOLYoKE TRAGEDY.-That was q
frightful disaster at Holyoke; Massachusetts,.
The burning alive of some seyenty-fve men.
women and children, through an accidental
eOnfagation in Catholic Church, reminds
us of the still more dreadful affair at the
Santiago Cathedral some eight years ago.
On that occasion the fire started, as at Holy.
Oke, from the decorations of the altar, and
some fifteen hundred persons were roasted.
On both occasions the people got we1ged fast
in the passages and doorways, and ihus con-
tributed by their frantic struggles to secure
their own destruction. 1t is invariably the
case in an accident of this kind that the peo-
pie loose their heads, and when men and
women are thus deprived Of their self-control
through fright, they are as imbeoile and as
helpless as sheep. OF course the means Of
exit was at fault, but it may be questioned
whether any width Of passages or doors
would prevent people from packing themselves
together as they always dc under similar cirI
cumstances.

CAUTIOUS PIETY. Last Sunday was a
raw, clustering day, but several converts 70
Christianity were sufficiently warmed with
faith to enable them TO enter the portals Of
the colored Baptist Church through the tur-
gid waters of Grand river But the scene
was too uninviting for one little fellow who
was to have been immersed on thet day.
He lodged behind the crowd that stood on
the river bank, and hid until the ceremony
was over He afterwards explained his
strange conduct by saying; Use got suah
huff 'ligion-Tse done found it-but dat
watah did look too cold S'posen catch
my def O. cold, an die?" 1t was suggested
TO him that, in such An event, he would
have gone right straight to heaven. "Dun-
no." he replied, slowly shaking his head:

THIRTY PER CENT.

\ hard, close man was Solomon Ray,
Nothing Of value he gave away;
lie boarded and saved;
He plnehed and shaved
And the more he had the more he cravef.
The hard-earned dollars he toilei 10 gain
Brought him little but care and pain;
For little he spent
And all he lent
He made IT bring him thirty per cent.
Such was the life of Solomon Ray.
The years went by, and his hair grew gray,
HIS checks grew thin.
And his soul within
Grew hard as tbs dollars he worked 10 win
But he die,l one day, as all men must,
For life IS heeting, and man but dust.
The heirs were gay
That land him away,
And that was the end OF Solomon Ray
They quarreled now, who had little cared
For solomon Hay while his life was spared,
His Lands We're sold,
And his hard-earned gold
All went 10 the lawyers, L am told.
Yet men will cheat and pinch and save,
Nor carry their treasures beyond the grave
All Their gold some day
Viii melt away
Like the selfish savings of solomon RAY.

The ORGAN OF THE Mnp-.En.

HE ORGAN OF THE MIND.-"Is the
brain the sole organ of the mind ?" is
a question now being agitated. A
majority of those who have never Civ
en- the subject serious thought would
regard as ridiculous an assumption
that the mental faculties are not con-
lined exclusively to the brain. DR..
Hammond, of New York, lectured ON
this subject a few days since. A frog
deprived of his brain will swim, scratch
himself when tickled, will turn oyer
when placed upon his back the head
less rattieSnake will coil and strike
when 1t Is annoyed /; the deeapitated
alligator Will show similar signs of
consciousness. Hence DR.. Hammond
argues that wherever there is grey
nerve tissue there is also mind. This,
1t seems to US, is hardly plausible.
Who would pretend TO hold that the
headlesS trunk Of a human being has
the power Of thought? Yet this power
would be necessary to prove the exist
eGce Of mind in the headleSs trunk,
for mind is capable Of thought, and
mind only. The contortions of the
trunk would be mere nervous action,
q species Of mechanism. This subject
affords field sufficiently prolific of
study and reflection to engage a life
time; and even then one would die
unsatisiied, for no explorer in the realm
of science can hope to see the day that
he can rest content with the assurance
that he has learned all there is TO learn.

SEA SALMON IN FRESH WATER The
question as TO the ability of the salmon to re-
main permanently in fresh water has re-
ceived an important illustration during the
past winter. 1t is well known that the
lakes of Maine along the coast contain a
variety of fish known as the landlocked
salmon, which, while possessing the external
appearance and peculiar habits Of the salmon,
together with equal excellence of flesh, is
much smaller, and remains permanently in
the lakes' and it is still a Yexed question
whether this is actually descendant of the
true sea salmon or a different species. An
argument in favor of its being the former is
afforded by the fact that in two localities young
salmon, hatchot from es Of the true sea salmon
collected at BucksrOrt, have lived in fresh water
ponds, and yielded npe eggs during the past autumn;
In the one at New Hope PennsylYania the islt
attaining several pounds III weight while some bred
IN Wisconsin We're only five TO seven inches IN
length, though perfectly mature In every respect
In the first case, however TIE ponds were quite
large, AMI offered ample space for the movements Of
the fish while IN the other they were confined to
small trout ponds Of only few yards in extent.
Whether the egg thus obtained will produce healthy
young, and whether these will attain maturity, ara
questions of much interest.

IN the village of Sperenburg, about 20
miles distant from Berlin, is situated the
deepest well in the world. 1t is for some dis
tance sixteen feet in diameter, and Is 4194
feet in depth. II was begun about five years
ago by the Government authorities with &
view to ascertaining the existence of rock
salt beneath the strata of gypsum oc-
cnrripg in the locality. At depth of $50
feet the salt was reached, but the boring
was continued 10 a depth of $50 feet, the
diameter OF the bore being reduced TO about
thirteen inches. The boring was subsequent
lv prosecuted by steam until the final depth
cf 4194 feet was attained. At the lowest
pDiut, the salt deposits still continue, exhibit
inp the enormous thickness of 290! feet.

Almost every man can recall scores of
cases within his knowledge where pleasing
manners have made the fortune Of law
yers, doctors, divines, merchants, and in
short, men in every walk of life. Raleigh
flung down his laced coat into the mud
for Elizabeth to walk on, and got for his
reward proud Queens favor. The pol
itician who has this advantage easily dis
tances all rival candidates, for every
voter he speaks with becomes his friend.
The very tones in which he asks for
pinch of snuff are often more potent than
the logic of Webster or Clay. Pol
ished manners have made scoundrels
successful while the best of men, by
their harshness and GOODNESS have done
themselves incalculable injury-the shell
being so rough that the world could not
believe there was a precious kernel
within Civility is to man what beauty
is to a woman. 1t creates an instanta-
neous impression in his behalf, while the
opposite quality excites as quick preiu
dice against him. 1t is q real ornament
the most beautiful dress man or woman
can wear-and worth more as a means of
winning favor than the finest clothes and
Jewels ever worn. The gruffest man
loves to be appreciated; and it is oftener
the sweet smile of q woman, which we
think intended for us alone, than pair
of Juno-like eyes, or "lips that seem on
roses fed, that bewitches our heart and

uses are accomplished, she makes US will
ling to leave. To the well-ordered mind
it is evident that death is as fortunate an
event for US as any that occurs.
'To die is one of two things said So
crates to his judges; ''either the dead
may be annihilated and have no sensa-
tion of anything whatever, or there is a
change and passage of the soul from one
mode of existence to another. If it is a
privation of all sensation or sleep in
which the sleeper has no dream, death
would be wonderful gain; for thus all
the future appears to be nothing more
than single night But if, on the other
hand, death is a renewal, to me the So
journ would be admirable. \ The
judges there do not condemn to death,
and in other respects those who live
there are more happy than those that
are here, and are henceforth immortal
To good man nothing is evil, neither
while living nor when dead nor are his
concerns neglected by the divine ones.
What has befallen me is not the effect
of chance 1t is clear to me that to die
now and be freed from my cares is better
for me-"
As most of us do not accept the delara-
ton of Winwood Reade and his fellow
philosophers, that "the belief in immor-
tality must die, but instead look for a
continuous existence, it must appear OBJ
vious to US that our mundane life is
kind Of preparatory school for the next.
1t certainly is not well to hasten thither
till we graduate; yet when the time ar
rives there is ever reason for passing to
the next stage gladly, and fearing moth
ing By living morally and physiologi-
caIly we shall escape the pain so much
dreaded; by considering the matter
calmly and reasonably we will annih1late
the terror by faith in the loving and the
right we shall apprehend all the great
facts and know that we pass from the
good to that which is better.
