the tall, spindling spires that pierce the
air. altogether out of, proportion, in
length and shape, to the churches
which support them. The great
objection to church steeples, how
ever, and the one that should weigh
heavily against them, is their fearful cost; !;
not in money, but in human life. In
the absence of statistics it is safe to esti-
mate that there is an average of at least
one life lost in the erection ofevery church
spire in the country, to say nothing of
the deaths and accidents which result
from attempts to repair them. The work
connected with them is probably the
most hazardous in which the builder is
ever employed, and the risk thus in
CURED should be carefully considered by
those who contemplate the construction
of tall spire, for no reason in the world
than that they are ambitious to overtop
the tall tower of their neighbor. There
are church steeples in nearly every city
which have cost the lives of two or three
men, and they are nothing at all It they
are not the monuments of the mechanics
who thus celebrated their labor with
their death.

PERILOUs ADVENTURE.

The captain Of whaler gives the follow
very near being his last. In giving an ac-
count of the accident and singular escape,
he said that as soon as he discovered that
the line had caught in the bow of the boat,
stopped to clear it, and attempted to throw
it out from the ohock, SO that it might run
free. In doing this, he was caught by a
turn round his left wrist, and himself
dragged overheard. He was perfectly con-
scious while he was rushing down with un-
known force and swiftness, and it appeared
to him that his arm would be torn from
his body, so great was the resistance of the
water. He was we'll aware of his perilous
condition, and that his only chance of life
was to cut the line. But he could not re-
move his right arm from his side, to which
it was pressed by the force of the element
through which it was drawn. When he
FIRST opened his eyes, it appeared as though
stream of fire was passing before them,
but as he descended it grew dark, and he
felt terrible pressure on his brain, and
roaring of thunder in his ears. Yet he was
conscious Of his situation, and made sew
erNl efforts to reach his knife that was in
his belt. At last he felt his strength failing
and his brain reeling; the line for an in
stant sackened he reached his knife, and
instantly that the line became again taut
its edge was upon it, and, by desperate
effort of his exhausted energies, he freed
himself. After this he only remembered a
feeling of suffocation, a gurgling spasm,
and all was over, until he awoke to an ago.
uized sense of pain in the boat.
