Narrow EscaDe from IcebergS.

While our ships were lying quietly at
the foot of this immense and wonderful
creation of ice, it happened that the
bergs Immediately to the seaward of us
commenced whirling along in al direc-
tions, acted upon either by different sets
of the tide caused by quiet avalanche
at some short distance away, or else bya
vast bodily pressurd outward from the
glacier itself. However that may be
our danger was imminent. The wind
was blowing strongly, so we double
reefed the topsails, cast of, and made
sail. The only passage of egress was
between two gigantic bergs that lowered
loftily above our mastheads. These
were fast closing together we had to
run the gauntlet, and not one moment
too soon; in fact, ten seconds later and L
believe we should all have perished, and
the ship have been smashed into pieces.
1t was sight to be once seen and ever
remembered. Sir James Ross, standing
near the men at the helm, directing by
the motion of his hand, perfectly self
possessed, more handsome and noble
looking in his then cool and command.
ing attitude than ever, every eye fixed
upon him, or painfully watching the
the closing distance between the majestic
arbiters of a fearful doom. Our very
breath was held as each and all seemed
10 await the inevitable fiat OF the angel
of destruction. Moments became hours
as the vessels length forged through.
Crash, crash not word, not move.
ment The lofty giants had closed on
our quarters, throNed one of our boats
inboard OH the deck, crushing her and
her davits T; the ship, checked. staggered
for one moment the noise of her rush
ing through the water reverberated up
the sides of the bergs, when, just as We
expected to be overborne and flung into
eternity, our noble vessel, that seemed
TO share in the exquisite tension of the
moment, slipped through clear of the
splendid masses, that, losing all their
terror. now commanded our admiration,
with full liberty of breathing action re-
sumed. Life was befx-ic us again. The
very ship was endeared to her crew from
that moment? Did she not seem almost
to share our Joy aud relief when, as it
were, passing through deaths icy grip,
she SO nobly plunged again into clear
water? But fresh scene had arisen be-
fore our eyes. Countless icebergs OF
enormous magnitude had gathered round
in all directions, obliging US again to
yield obedience to their sway, unable to
thread our way to the open sea. Most
fortunately the mysterious commotion in
the water had ceased, and these colossal
monuments of arctic solitude had become
motionless. We locked up to their sum-
mits with a mixed feeling of wonder and
awe, and, gazing among the tortuous
passages formed by the accidental va
riety of their positions, were fully inn
pressed with tue certainty that no such
mighty display of marvellous panorama
would ever again confront our astonished
senses. s.-COnamdnder Cheyne.

The Color of Horses.

This is subject to which we may
perhaps attach more Importance than Is
generally accorded to it. 1t has passed
into proverb that "a good horse can
not be of bad color" We shall, how
ever, merely give what, in our expert
ence, are good coIors and what bad-not
looking to the color as influencing the
strength and good qualities of the ami
NAL, but as an index to its constitution.
Now, n light chestnut sorrel, with white
legs and feet, naturally suggests the idea
that he is weak, washy brute while
on the other hand, dark chestnut, with
darker points, gives Immediately the inn
preston of good constitution. We be-
lieve these opinions, however conveyed,
are proved to be perfectly right There
are, Of course, exceptions, but we take
the rule. Again, bay horse, with black
points, or even with white leg or two,
is very good color 80 is a dark and
mottled brown--in fact, there is none bet
ter but no color is certain guarantee
of quality, though, as we before said, we
look upon 1t as not unreliable index.
For many purposes gray color is looked
upon as drawback, and so is that of
"yaller." We never heard of any OBJ
jections to the black color, nor do we
know of any. Some horses are said to
show character" in their coloring, as,
for instance, bull terrier does with
patch over his eye. Thus a brown or
black horse, with three white legs and
blaze, although not the perfection of
marking, gives such quaint appearance
that the animal is instictively, and
rightly, put down as having " character"
about him, and is often very good
horse. AS rule, it will be seen
that we lcol upon brown, dark
chestnut, and light bay as the best
colors, implying blood and good consti-
tutions, and the less white they have
about them the better. White feet are
particularly Objectionable, as they are
generally inclined to be fiat and weak
and horse which shows much white
about his eyes is often tricky, sometimes
a bad feeder. and vicious.
