THE TRUE WIrE-Oftentimes have
seen a tall ship glide by against the tide
as if drawn by some invisible bowIine,
with hundred strong arms pulling it.
Her sails were untitled, the streamers
were dropping, she had neither side wheel
nor stern wheel still she moved on
stately, in serene triumph, as with her
own life. But knew that OIL the other
ship, hidden beneath the great bulk that
swan so majestically, there was little
toilsome steam tug, with heart OF fire
and arms of iron, that was tugging it
bravely on, and l knew if the little steam
tug untwined her arms and left the ship
it would wallow and roll about, and drift
hither and thither and go with the rehu-
ent tide, no man knows whether. And
Sc have known more than ono genius,
high decked, full freighted, idle sailed, !,
gay pennoned, but that for the bare toll
ing arms and brave warm beating heart
of the faithful little wife that nestles
close to him. so that no wind or wave
could part them, would have gone down
with the stream and have been heard OF
no ore.-[Oliscr Wendell Holmes.

MEN TRADING WITHOUT MONEY.

gagged in the work of establishing negro
colonies. From him the reporter obtain.

located in Graham County, the district

there was not a team in it, and the men
worked entirely with picks and spades.

A RIVER UNDER GROUND. .--Mete
Green, not long since, while out with
his cattle, made most startling diScuv-
cry, and one that may possibly take its
place among the grand wonders OF Ida
no. He was riding along early in the
morning on the divide between Indian
Creek and Snake River, when his horse
sprang aside, snoTted ard otherwise
gave evidences of having heard some
thing unusual. The spot was a little
knoll on the comb of the ridge, and Mete
Who had been almost asleep. taking a
sweep around with his eyes to learn the
cause of his horses fear, finally rested
his vision on what seemed to be hole
in the ground a few PAGES distant. Dis
mounting he was soon looking into a
fnnnel-shaped Orifice fifteen or twenty
feet deep by ten or twelve at its rim in
diameter
At the bottom of this 'funnel--the soil
giving out there-was a rift in the rock
two OF three feet in width by four or Fl We
feet in length, which seemed to open in
the bowels of the earth. Through this
aperture came UP from the depths a ter
rible roaring, As of leaping cataract, a
mighty rush of waters, tumbling over
rocks. The ground even trembled and
the subterTanean noise continued unln-
terTuptedly. MPte renamed some time
and the longer he listened the more con-
WINGED he became th at what he heard
was running water, but how far down
to the stream he could not conjecture
might have been a few feet or half way
to China. And as the fssure was large
enongh to take him in should his foot
slip. his observation was not an extend
ed one. The principal thing he did
was to listen long and strong and to
think loud--at safe distance from the
brink of the hole.-EJ.

THE EARTH AS A SORT OF SODA
BOTTLE, No theory of the earth's
crust can be complete which does not
provide the machinery for earthquakes
and volcanoes. Mr.. Fishers, for this
purpose, supposes his subterranean fluid
to contain, in intimate union with itself,
vapOT in considerable quantities. This
vapOr is to be retained in the fluid by
the superintendent presSure, as gas is
the liquid of soda water bottle. and
will, if such pressure be removed be
diSingaged from the mOulten matter as
the gas disingages itself when the cork
is drawn, though much more slowly. by
reason of the viscoscity of the lIid.
This agrees with the views taken by
Professor Judd III his recent volume on
volcanoes. 1t will be a novel idea for
many of US to imagine the earth like a
globular bottle of effervescent LIQUID.
and its crust like ice covering a lake of
aerated water. But such a constitution
would account for many of the pheCo-
mena of eruptiOns. The earthquakes
which usually herald them. the rise of
molten material in fssure, the exist
ence of permanently liquid lava like that
in Kilauea, the quiesence of neighbOring
vents, the growth, death and revival of
volcanoes. The difference in the lavas
elected from adjacent craters and the
supposed order of succession in the pro-
ducts erupted are also accounted for,
but not satisfactorily. The theory is a
very important one, and appears on the
whole the most satfactOry that has yet
neen propOunded.-Ndt

A BURNING LAKE.-It is said that
from one of the naptha wells Of Russia
the liquid shoots up as from fountain,
and has formed a lake four miles long
and one a quarter wide. Its depth is,
however, only two feet. This enormous
surface of infammable liquid recently
became ignited, and presented an impos-
irg spectacle, the thick. black clouds of
smoke being lighted up 10y the lurid
glare of the central column of flame,
which rose to a great height. The heat
and smoke were such as TO render a
nearer approach than one thousand
Yards distance impracticable. Suitable
means for extinguishing the fire we're

immediate farmers to remove to safer
