Fishing for SnNngas.

The sponge trade, according to the re-
port of our consul at Nassau, gives EN-.
ployment to severalthousand persons and
some hundreds of vessels. The sponges
are divided into coarse and fine, of which
the former bring in about five dollars
per hundred weight, and the latter double
that sum. The principal varieties, in
the order of their value, are known as
sheep-wool, white reef, abaco velvet,
dark reef, boat hard-head, grass, yellow
and glove; and of some of these varieties
there are several grades, designated by
numbers, all being used for mechanical,
surgical and bathing purposes. Bahama
and Florida sponges are about equal in
texture and value, but both are inferior
to those of the Mediterranean. The ves-
sells employed in sponging are small,
with crews of from six to twelve men.
About six weeks provisions are taken
on board, and they then coast along the
banks and reefs, where the water is
shallow, and generally so clear that the
sponges are readily seen, and are brought
to the surface by hooked poles, or some
times by diving. When first brought up
they are covered with soft gleatinous
substance, as black as tar, and full of
organic life, the sponge, as we know it,
being only the skeleton of the organism.
The days catch is spread out on the
deck, so as to kill the mass of animal
life, which in dying emits most un-
pleasant sm.ll. Then the spongers go
ashore and build pen, or crawl" of
stakes close to the waters edge, so that
the action of the tide may wash away the
black covering, in which it is aided by
pounding the sponges with sticks. When
this operation is completed the sponges
are strung upon small palmetto strips,
three or four to strip, which is called
ga bead, when they are taken to
Nassau, to be sold in the sponge market
under certain conditions and regulations,
nobody being allowed to sell his cargo
otherwise than through this sponge ex-
change. On the conclusion Of the sale
the sponges are taken TO the packing
yard, where they are sorted, clipped,
soaked in lime water, and spread out to
dry in the sun. They are then pressed
by machinery into bales containing one
hundred pounds, and in this state are
shipped to England or the United States.

THE HOME OF THE SOUL
BY THE AUTHOR OF THE STAR sPANGLED
BANNER.


THE correspondent sending the following
poem to the New York ObSsryer, remarks:
81 have never seen It in print, bat obtained
it through manuscript copy OF a friend Of
the author, bIr. Francis S. Key, and feel sure
can youch for It's authenticity.n
Oh, where can che soul find relief from its
woes,
A refuge Of safety, a home of repoSel
Can earth's highest summit or deepest hid
vale
Give refuge no sorrow or sin can assaill
No, no, there's no home!
There's no home on earth, the soul has no
home.
Can 1t leave the low earth, and soar to the
sky,
And seek for home in the mansions on high
In the bright realms of biiss a home shall be
given,
And the soul find a rest in its Home of the
Heaven.
Yes, yes, there's a home!
There's a home in high heaven, the soul has a
home.
Oh, holy and happy its home shall be there,
FREQ forever from sorrow, from sin and from
care,
And the loud hallelujahs of angels shall rise
To welcome the soul to its home of the skies.
Home, home, home Of the soul!
The bosom of God is the homo of the soul!

Saved by an AlbatrOss.

The Sidney (Australia) Telegraph says:
A singular story has been related to us by
the master of the bark Gladstone, which
vessel was in latitude forty-two degrees
south and longitude ninety degrees east,
seaman fell overheard from the star
board gangway. The bark was scudding
along with a rough sea and moderate
wind, but on the alarm of "man over
board being given, she was rounded to
and the starboard lifeboat was lowered,
manned by the chief officer and four
men. A search for the unfortunate man
was made, but owing to the roughness Of
the sea he could not be discovered; but
the boat steered to the spot where he was
last seen. Here they found him floating
but exhausted, clinging for dear life to
the legs and wings of huge albatross.
The bird had swooped down on the man
while the latter was struggling with the
oaycs anu aGtempteC 10 peck him with
its powerful beak. Twice the bird at
tackled its prey unsuccessfully, being
beaten off by the desperate sailor battling
with two enemies--the water and the al
batross-both greedy and insatiable
For the third time the huge white form
of the bird hovered over the seaman, pre-
paratory to final swoop. The bird, eager
for its meal, famed its victim with its
widespread wings.
Suddenly a thought occurred to him
that the huge form so close to his face
might become his involuntary rescuer.
Quick as thought he reached up and
seized the bird, which he proceeded to
strangle with all his might. The huge
creature struggled with wings and pad
dies to free itself. In the contest the
sailor was beaten black and blue and
cruelty lacerated, but he held his own,
and slowly the bird quivered and died
The carcass foated lightly on the waves,
its feathers forming comfortable sup
port for the exhausted man, who had so
narrowly escaped lingering DEATH But
another danger awaited him. He was
not much of swimmer, and the excite
ment of the extraordinary conflict began
to tell upon him. He was faint and grew
giddy. But with one arm around the
albatross' body, under the wing, and one
hand clutching the birds feet, the sailor
awaited his chance Of rescue. Presently
he heard his comrades shout from the
boat, and in a few minutes more was safe
on board the bark, though good deal
shaken and exhausted.
