Pure Expression.

Every word that falls from the lips of
mothers and sisters especially should
be pure and concise aud simple; rot
pearls such as fall from the lips of a
princess, but sweet, good words, that
little children can gather without fear
of soil, or any regret TO pain through all
their life. Children should be taught
the frequent use of good, strong express
sive words--words that mean exactly
what they should express in their
proper places. If a child, or young
person, has loose flung together way
of stringing words when endeavoring to
say something, he should be made to
" thy again" and see if he caunot do
better. It is painful to hear many girls
talk. They begin with f My graciousl"
and interlard it with $50 sweet I" and
&c So queenly /" and so many phrases,
that one is tempted to believe they
have no training at all, or else their
mothers are very, very foolish women.
There is nothing more disgusting than
the twoddle-of i'll bred girls; one is pro-
voked often into taking q paper and
reading, and letting them ripple and
gurgle on, like brooks that flow they
know not whittier. My heart warns
with love for sensible girls and pure
boys, and, after all, If our girls and
boys are not this, fear it is not our
own fault-for this great trust rests in
the heart and hands of the women of
our land. If we have a noble, useful
purpose in life, We shall infuse the
right spirit into those around us.

Ronle's foundations.

There is another motive than that of
saving Rome from annual foundations
which animates those who seek to turn
the Tiber from its channel. We are
told that for the last 2, 500 years people
have been perpetually dropping things
into the Tiber. The gold and silver
and precious stones stolen by Roman
generals from all parts of the world
always found their ultimate way into
the river, and al the best statae, vases,
and other works of art which adorned
Rome during the period of her greatest
splsndor found the same resting place.
Under the mud at the bottom of the
Iiber lie the golden csndlestick of the
Jewish temple, the crowns of dozens of
oriental monarchs, hundreds of photo
graphs of Helen of Troy and Cleopatra,
and scores of BURGLAR proof safes con-
tanning bonds of Roman aqueduct COM
pauies and bags of specie. At least
50 We are told by those who wish to try
their luck IN digging in the Theirs bed.
Skeptical people may wonder why the
ancient Romans threw everything
valuable into the river, or may ask
how we know that such was their
custom. The questions Of all such
people win, however, be disTe-
garded By every true enthusiast,
and the work of draining the Campag-
na, on which drop of water does not
fall for ten months In the year, and of
turning the Iiber out of its course IN
order to find things that were never
thrown into it, viii be advocated by
Garibaldi and his friends iIhout regard
to its cost or its wisdom.

"And Martin, what has become of
him ? Is he dead ?" Owen asked,
breathlessly.
"No, it would be a good job if he
was, the girl said, sullenly " he's In
the pOor-house !"
Owen buried his face in his hands snd
wept aloud. Surely his curse had fallen
hot and heavy; far, far hotter and
heavier than he meant it should.
"Girl did You ever hear of your uncle
Owen2 I am he Take me to your
father. And this is Julia's daughter Z?
might have known you are so like
her."
1t was hard to make poor old Martin
MacDermott understand that his broth
er had come back, and was rich, and
willing to help him ; but when it did
dawn on his feeble mind his sorrow and
his gratitude were touching to behold.

my head among the neighhors again.
Sure, I'm a .poor, broken-down ould
creature but have a small taste of
the spirit of the MscDermotts left yet,
in spite of all my troubles. Take me
an Julia away, Ownie:"
There was now demonstrated q beau
tiful instance of magnanimity. Owen
took his brother and his niece to New
York but Martin did not long live to
.erioy the splendid home of Owen. Six
months after they landed he died, with
out any visible or local cause-simply
of broken heart. Julia took her place
as mistress of her uncle's establishment;
and before very long married the son of
his partner, aud had a fine house of her
own ; and when Darby's term of trans
portation expired, his uncle took him
to live with him. The young man had
learned a severe lesson, but he profted
by it; and is now one of the most pros
porous and esteemed merchants of
New York. His children climb on the
knees Of a haired, gentle old man
they call Uncle Owen and he some
times says to Darby, as he strokes his
eldest boys golden curls: "Your
Owen is like me, nephew I can see
that. I'm happy old man. I could
not have been so had I committed any
horrid act of vengeance. In doing

Ice In the Arctic Regions.

The precise object of the Austrian
Polar expedition was not particularly
that of reaching high latitudes, but of
exploring the large unknown sea north
of Siberia. For a year and a half the
explorers had constant opportunities
closely to observe the behavior and
formation of the packed ice. The phe-
nomenOn is instructive, as it is the
same In the whole OF the Arctic regions.
With the exception of 1and-ice, which
clings to the coasts and never reaches
far out into the sea, all ice-icebergs as
well as helds-is in constant motion,
winter and summer; and this, as has
been shown, is through the influence
of winds. The motion, however, is a
different one almost with every field,
and thus a certain pressure results
wherever two fields touch; this natural
ly leads to the breaking up of the fields,
and the contraction of the ice, during
sudden low temperature plays its part
10 similar way. If one c. Insiders the
great extent of fields, sometimes of
NJ any miles, and their enormous masses,
one can easily imagine the colossal
forces which are active in these phe-
nomena, and the greatness of their eff
fects. When two fields meet. a combat
body to body ensues, often lasting only
few minutes, but sometimes even for
days and weeks. The edges are then
turned up on both sides, upwards and
dOwnwalds, an irregular wall of ice con-
slsting of wildly mixed blocks begins to
build itself, the pressure increast s
more and more, masses of ice eight feet
long and broad are lifted thirty to forty
feet high, and then fall to make room
for others. At last one of the fields
begins to shift itself for some distance
underneath the other one; often they
separate for a while, only to renew the
struggle. But the end of it always is
that the intense cold unites them all
into one solid mass a single field re-
suits from the two, and the next storm
or quick change of temperature cracks
the new field in some other direction,
the pieces renewing the old struggle.
This is the origin of the ice-felds,
which are quite irregular above and
below, sometimes only consisting of
blocks that lave frozen together, and
filling up the whole arctic region as So
called pack ice

Natural Resources of Ervnt

Egypt has but a single natural re-
source-the Nile. There is no other
river In the country; nor has this one a
branch or afHuent between its mouth
and the Nubian desert. Besides the
almost shelterless date-palms, there are
no palms, the few wooded parks planted
by order of Mehemet Ali, the ornamental
trees of the cities, of which Cairo and
its suburbs contain forty thousand. and

Az Apparent Resnrrectinn.

The following is related by the
Augusta (Malne) Journal
A young man In the town of Vas
salboro, IN this county, was suffering
IN the last stages of consumption, the
disease which had insidiouslv and
stealthily brought him to the verge of
the grave. For several weeks he had
been entirely PROSTATE and unable to
speak, even to articulate a SYLLABLE.
He became SO oppressed for breath
that he compelled his attendants TO
ralse the windows in his room. put ont
the fires, and resort to every means to
obtain fresh air. On the 18th inst. the
young man died. Friendly hands pre-
pared the poor, emaciated body for the
burial; but, just as the attending
friends were arranging the remains for
the casket, there appeared unmistaka-
Bile evidences of returning life In what
had seemed to them an inanimate mass
of clay, and it was discovered that the
heart had begun again it's slow and
measured palpitations, the pulse throb-
bed, and the young man arose from
the death-shrOuds, opened his mouth,
and spoke IN clear and distinct words to
those who stood appalled, in the death
chamber. There was no huskiness in
MS VOICE, ne appeared lively and active,
said he telt not the slightest pain. but,
to use his own language, "I feel Just as
well as l ever did," At his request the
neighbOrs were all called in, who crowd
ed the house for hours, declaring that
the recovery of the man was equal to
any miracle recorded in the Scriptures.
he told this startled assemblage of his
friends and neighbors that, as he died,
all things seemed dark, but only for an
instant his eyes suddenly opened to a
new world, the real heaven, which had
been so many times in his thoughts and
had given him so much comfort in his
last week of pain and sorrow. He stood
upon an eminence which overlooked a
vast and beautiful plain; the magnid-
cent plain stretche farther than his
enlarged vision could penetrate, and
he described it in language which, to
his moral auditors seemed extravagant
In the extreme. But the revivified life
OF the young man was not to continue
long. Before night he again resigned
himself to death. The boay was kept
a reasonable length of time and buried
ON Sunday last, the funeral being large

OUR TELL-TALE LIPs.-I have OBJ
served that lips become more or less
contracted in The course of years, in
proportion as they are accustomed to
express good humer and generosity, or
peevishness and n contracted mind.
Remark the effect which a moment of
ill-temper or grudgingness has upon
the lips, aud judge what may be ex-
pected for an habitual series of such
movements. Remark the reverse and
make a similar judgment. The mouth
is the frankest psrt of the face it can't
in the least conceal its sensations. We
can nei her hide ill-temper with it, nor
god; may affect what we please,
but atfectation will not help us. In a
wrong cause it will only make our OBJ
servers resent the endeavor to impose
upon them. The mouth Is the seat of
one class of emotions, as the eyes are
OF another +; or, rather 1t expresses the
same emotions, bat In greater detail,
and with a more irrepressible tendency
to be in motion. It is the region of
smiles and dimples, and of q trembling
tenderness a sharp sorrow, or a full
breathing joy; of candOr, OF reserve,
of anxious care, or liberal sympathy.
The mouth, out of its many sensibil-
tiles, may be fanciei throwing up one
