THE WAYSIDE WELL,

He stopped at the wayside well
Where the water was cold and deep;
There were feathery ferns twixt the m ossy stones
And gay was the old we'll weep
He left his carriage alone;
Nor could coachman or footman tell
Why the master stopped on the dusty road
To drink at the waysjde well.
He swayed with his glOved hands
The well-sweep creaking and slow,
While from seam and scar in the buckets SIDE
The water splashed back below.
He lifted it to the curb,
And bent down to the buckets brim;
No furrOw Of time or care had marked
The face that looked back at him.
He saw but n farmers boy
As he stood DER the brink to drink
And ruddy and tanned was the laughing face
That met his o'er the brink
The eyes Were sunny and clear,
And the brow undimmed by care
While from under the brim of the old straw hat
Strayed curls of chestnut hair
He turned away with sigh;
Nor could coachman footrnan tell
Why the master stopped III his ride that day
To drink at the way side well.

DEAD MANS ISLAND,

The steamship City of Rio de Janeiro arrived
on Wednesday. She left New York July l. and
after commonplace passage, during which they
had very fair weather, they touched at Sandy
Point or Point Arenas promontory belonging
to Chilli, and situated at the entrance of the
Straits of Magellan. Although this was in the
ranged five degrees below zero All the officers
and the crew were mutfied up in double suits,
furs, &c, to protect themselves much as posi-
BILE from the biting cold. The stoppage was made
to bury one of the crew who had died The
swell, however, was so strong that it was found
impossible to land, whereupon the poor fellow
was sewed up in canvas and tenderly assigned to
the deep. The roar of the sea, mingled with the
short burial service, the officers and crew muffied
up in their coats and with the white crosses shin
ing from the desolate distance, showing where the
bones of other poor mariners rested combined to
make the scene very solemn one After the
ceremonies were over the steamer kept on and
next anchored near Dead Mans Island or Cover
nor's Point, solitary island in the Straits of Ma
gellan, where large board is seen on which the
names of all vessels whose boats have been able
to land were painted. A terrible snowstOrm was
raging at the time. Snow could be seen in drifts
from fifty to sixty feet high on land, while the
snow on the deck was four to five inches deep

Irresolution is "a fatal habit; it is not
vicious in itself, but it leads to vice,
creeping upon its victims with Il fatal
facility, the penalty of which many a
fine heart has paid at the scaffold.
The idler, the spendthrift, the epicur-
can and the drunkard are among the

strength from his limbs and the happi
ness from his heart, oppress him with
disease and hurry his progress to dis

possesses it to pass through perils and

An Accommodating Parson.

Recently in Texas u couple bent on

they were in Il pickle. The only par
son for long. weary miles was Just

ONLY WAITING.

Only till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmcr
OF the days last beam has flown,
Till the night of earth has faded
From the heart once full Of day;
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reaperS
Have the last Sheaf gathered home
For the summer time is faded,
And the autumn winds have come,
Quickly, reapcrS . gather quickly
The last hours Of my heart;
For the bloom of life Is withered,
And ! hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
At whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor and des0latc;
Even now | hear the footsteps,
And their voices far away;
If they call me, am waiting,
Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows
Are a little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam has flown;
Then from out the glaring darkness
Holy deathlesS stars shall rise,
BY whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

Marriage.

Marriage, says Jeremy Taylor, has
in it less of beauty, but more safety
than single life; it has more ease, but
less danger; it is more merry and
more sad; it is fuller of sorrows and
fuller of joys; it lies under more bur
dens, it is supported by all the strength
of love and charity, and those burdens
are delightful. Marriage is the mother
of the world, and preserves kingdoms,
and fills cities and churches and heaven
itself. Celibacy, like the fly in the
heart of an apple, dwells in perpetual
sweetness, but sits alone and is con-
fined and dies in singularity; but mar
riage, like the useful bee, builds a
house and gathers sweetness from ev-
cry flower, and labors and unites into
societies and republics and sends out
colonies; and feeds the world with
delicacies, and obeys their king and
keeps order, and exercises many vir-
tues, and promotes the interest Of man
kind, and is that state Of good to which
God hath designed the present consti'
tuition Of the world,

An important Advance in Photography.
The old saying concerning invention
being the offspring of necessity is well
illustrated in the new bromide emul-
sion process, recently perfected abroad,
and introduced here says u New York
paper by Mr.. lockwood, of II Union
square. The continuous dark and fog
gy atmosphere of London and other
large cities of Great Britain and the
Continent, induced Capt. Abner, Herr
Won Monckhoven and other scientists,
to seek some new Photographic pro.
cess, which would be even more scnsi.
tive than that hitherto in use, with
the hope that portraitTe might be
made successful in modified light, OF
possibly be worked practically by ar
tilicial light A marked success at
tended their efforts, and portraits arc
now made in one or two seconds un
der portrait light, and out-of-doOl
pictures in fraction of Il second Of
time. Mr.. lockwood was abroad a
the time of its most complete success
and secured the process for his estab
lishment.
The advantage of II practical process
of this kind for the photogahphing o
children or adults is very great. L
dispenses with the annoying "head
rest" and makes all days "sumy days
or working DAYS with the photograph
er. In the late dark weather, whei
successful sittings by the ordinar.
process was almost impracticable, MI
lockwood obtained excellent results il

Mr.. lockwood has probably photo
graphed more persons than any MAJ
living, his list of negatives now nun
bering 10000.

Cause of EARTHQUAKES.

Professor r. Falb, in one of his late
lectures, attributed earthquakes to sub.
terranean volcanic outbreaks, produced
by the cooling action of the hot liquid
interior of the earth in conjunction
with the attraction of the sun and the
moon. The Nature says that, in sup.
port of his opinion, he cites the fact
''that most earthquakes occur when the
sun is nearest us, viz, in January
fewest in June; also, that the number
of earthquakes increases In the months
of April and October, because Of tht
strong attraction Of the sun on March
