MISSING SEIPS.

The catalogue of ocean disasters for the
year 1879 was an unusually long one, although
the loss Of lie WAS much less than IN some
prayious years, since few of the wrecked YES
sells carried passengers. Fifty steamships are
included in the list. OF these only the fol-
lowing were passenger vessels. viz: The Great
Rennblic. stranded at the mouth of the Column
hia River Oregon the Cunarder Brest
wrecked on the coast of Cornwall; the State
of Virginia, lost on Sable Island the Cham
pion, of the New-York and Charleston Line,
sunk By collision the Falcon. sunk by col
ls.on on the way from Baltimore to Charleston;
the Locashema Mara, destroyed by an explo-
sion of gunpowder in her cargo, on voyage
from Osaka to Deva the Ava, sunk by collision
in East india seas; the Michel, sunk by collisions;
the Borussia, which fOuudered on the voyage
from Liverpool to New-0rleans; and the Span
jsh Steamer aiaro del 0ceanO. destroyed by fire
in the West Indies Only in the cases OF the
Ava. Michel, Locushema Nara, Champion,
Borussia and Pajar0 del OceanO was the loss
of life serious.
We have often called attention to the fire.
queucy, we may say regularity, with when
steamers of certain class employed IN the
freight traffic between American and Euro
pean ports sink on the voyage from no more
violent cause than stress OF weather, or DIS
sppear without leaving any record OF their
cate. These are almost Invariably British
built steamships, of aleut 100 tons. low in
the water and of but moderate engine
power, speed being of much less con-
sequence to them than carrying. capacity.
II is a suggestive circumstance that as rule
ey are cassed high at LlOyds. Most OF
them. indeed, are new vessels. and they are
all OF iron. Either they are not properly de-
signed for the work they have TO do. or they
are insuficiently manned. or there ia some
thing extra-hazardous in the cargo. Leaving
out of the list of wrecks Tor 1879 the vessels
sunk by collision, or burned OF stranded, we
have the following fourteen cases of total loss
on the route between Europe and America,
namely. two steamers abandoned, six
foundered and six missing. Two OF the
abandoned vessels were Spanish. The
other twelve were British eight of them
were loaded with grain and three with coal !
and three belonged to single firm IN Lon
don.
The question of the proper loading of grain
steamers is attracting great deal of atien-
ton in England ard it is well understood
that the state of facts disclosed by such
records as we present to-day is in
the highest degree scandalous. AS all
these vessels are built and owned in
England, and fitted out, differed, and manned
there it is not possible for our laws TO inter-
fere with them, even though they load in our
ports 1t may be, however. that American in
surance companies are sufficiently concerned
in the risks to be of some use in seconding
the efforts of the British Board Of Trade to
apply remedy.

with the facts; and, secondly, that the t''ie
of tho institution las brought the Superinteh-
dent into peculiar odium. With so convenient
name as the Shepherds Fold to work upon II
has been so easy to be saiirical about mer-
cenary philanthropi'ts and the woInsn
instincts of Christian clergymen. we
have no wish to plead Mr.. Conveys
case, but we are inclined to caution INC
public against accepting too implicitly tue
stories told by the children OF Tins I'M
happy Fold. This den of neglect ana
infamy was bad enough at the best, but there
is no reason why it should be made out any
worse than it really was. At all events,
Mr.. Cowlcy is now in fair way
to pay the penalty of his brutality
and criminal mismanagement, and II
he can prove that the witnesses against h,in
have exaggerated the charges, ne should oe
allowed fair chance TO do 1t.

MR.. COWLEY INDICTED.

The chief shepherd OF the Shepherds Fold
is now In the T0mbs. The Grand Jury
found twenty-five indictments against him.
and lie was at once arrested on a
bench warrant. The prnciA charges are
misdemean0r and assault and battery, and
owing 10 the number of the counts, he will be
liable TO several years of Imprisonment if the
pitful stories told by the wretched inmates of
the institution can be substantiated.
The public feeling against this mismanaged
charity Is now so strong that the action of the
Grand Jury and the officers of the Court will
cause the liveliest satisfaction. 1t Is only
common justice, however, to bear in mind
two facts: first, that the witnesses who
have appeared against him are mainly children
whose tongues are apt to play fast and loose

CONCERNING UNHAPPY PEOPLE.

Last Sunday we looked into the condition
of that rare human specimen, the prey Of
Fate-the unlucky man; the unhappy man
is n very different person. He is no rarity,
to begin with; his name is Legion. He Ia
everywhere he is our enemy, our brother.
ourselves. Go into any car, church or theatre,
and you will see him carrying to his work.
his PRAYERS. or even his fun the same doubt
tul woe-begone visage. This chronic condi-
ton of discomfort in the American is inexpli-
cable, it is not hereditary. He Is the son
of the phlegmatic Englshman, the gay Gau,
the happy-gO-lucky Irishman. Neither can
you account for il by ill-fOrtune. Unlike
his father, he lives In country better fed
and fuller of chances than any In the world.
The most wretched, unsmiling faces in car
and church. oddly enough, are intelligent and
educated They belong usually to healthy
well-dressed bodies Such miserable people
could have no better occupation this Sunday
morning than resolutely TO weigh this bur
den of anxiety on their backs. see what
il really amounts to, and to find out if there
is no way of getting rid OF it.
First, then: A man is most frequently miser-
able about money he wants bigger diyi-
bends from his investments. or an increase of
his salary. For what purposef Always of
course. to bring him more comfort or happi-
ness sometimes for himself alone, but far
oftener for wife and children. Can he not see
that he is now destroying the end for the
sake of the means? No man can reach middle
age without discovering chat happiness and
erecnbacks are very different things. The
hours of real heartfelt fun, the supreme expe-
ricnces of Joy or tenderness or rapt content
which we remember in our lives, no money
bought for us. 1t was a chance meeting with
old friends, day in the woods, a sudden alb
surd frolic, n trille which proved how dear we
were to somebody. This anxious man can 90
home now, If he chooses, with cheerful eyes
and a pleasant temper. He can rOmp with
the children; make joke Of the scant meal /;
speak few hearty, tender words to his wife.
He can do it with an empty pocket. Yet he
will scatter priceless pleasure about him IN
the doing of 1t. Not all his years Of drudgery
probably, will ever earn him the fortune
which he thinks would kindle life into bril-
lance for his chi dren, like an electric
spark But little commonplace effort now,
every day, on his part. 10 command his fret
full temper. to he a hopeful, CHEEKY, heart
ening power in his home, will food it with a
steady. enduring sunshine. Above all, it is
cruel and unfair to little child@n to bring
upon them the weight OF our anxieties about
money. Perpetual discussion of debts, or OF
our fears as TO the future, is too common Mt
many tables. If the parents have neither
philosophy nor religion to meet these spectres
of want and the worlds scorn, how shall the
poor babies struggle against them They have
been brought into the world without their as
sent, and father and mother owe to them, at
least, the capital for life Of a happy child
