The Pitch Lake of Trinidad.

The most remarkable feature of Trinidad
is the Pitch Lake. 1t is about mile and
a half in circumference. The pitch at the
sides of the lake is perfectly hard and cold;
but as one walks toward the middle with
the shoes off, in order to wade through the
water, the heat gradually increases, the
pitch becomes softer and softer, until at
last it is seen boiling up in liquid state
The air is then strongly impregnated with
bitumen and sulphur, and the impression
of the feet is left upon the pitch. 1t is
possible during the rainy season to walk
over most of the lake, but during hot
weather great part cannot be approached
extract the following account from the
narrative of gentleman who visited 1t from
San Fernando "To get to the lake it was
necessary to sail ten miles on the Gulf OF
Paria. The course lay along the shores of
the district of South Naparima, with cane
coming down nearly to the waters edge,
and the planters houses placed so as to
command good views of the sea; thenpast
the swamp called, par ercellence, the lagoon,
which fronts the sea for three or four miles,
and extends far into the interior, fertile
source of agues and fevers to the estates ad-
Joining, especially to leeward. Then came
some more miles of bush, and then our des-
tination, the beach and village of La Brae
(which signifies pitch). Nothing could be
more appropriate than the name, for 1T IS
pitch here and there and everywhere. 1t
is the shore, it is the bed of the sea as far
as YOU can trace it. 1t is the street and
the surface of the ground. 1t forms the
floors of the houses, and is under the veg
citation which hourishes with tropical lux
uriance all around. The road proceeds
almost in straight line from the shore for
about mile to the boarders Of the lake,
which is wholly covered with pitch, pre-
senting the appearance of motion, though
quite hard when he visited i'll. 1t ap-
peared as if wave after wave was oozlng on,
each one having sufficient consistency to
preserve its crest, as if the ripples on a
level seashore had been suddenly arrested
and solidfed The pitch is quite level with
the edge of the basin. 1t was our inten-
ton to proceed toward the middle Of the
lake, and after we had spent some time on
the border surveying the singular scene we
began to put our intention into effect. The
sides of the hummocks were slippery, and
very steep; but we pursued our way till
we arrived near the middle, where was a
larger flow of pitch than we had crossed.
Some guaya bushes afforded shelter from
the suns rays, and there we halted. The
..;il,o., ,raa ,,aru r,arked Not n sion of
animal life but what came from our own
party. while the black, brownish hue Of the
surface of pitch added to the monotony of
all around. Yet even here were the guava
bushes growing, without any visible soil to
nourish them, although probably crop
ping-up of soil in the lake gave them place
to strike root in. The water in the lake is
so slightly tinged with the taste of pitch as
to be drinkable, and there are many places
where those inclined to bathing can indulge

Frosty Windows and elycerine.

A very thin coat of glycerine applied on
both sides of window glass will prevent any
moisture forming thereon; and will stay
until it collects so much dust that you can
not see through it; for this reason it should
be put on very thin. If used on looking
glass you can shave yourself in an ice house,
and the glass will not show your breath.
Doctors and dentists use it on small glasses
with which they examine the teeth and
throat. Surveyors use it on their instru-
ments in foggy weather, and there is no
film to obstruct the sight Locomotive en-
gineers have used it as preventive of the
formation of frost on their cab windows.
In fact it can be used anywhere to prevent
moisture from forming on anything. 1t
does not injure the usefulness of field
glasses, &c. In fact, small drop of pure
glycerine in a small hole in sheet of
brass makes good lense for small mi
croscope.

The Cobra.

Horses, says writer on the subject, in
stinctively avoid the cobra; whole herds of
COWS or buffaloes viii flee before a single
one; even the tiger breads it. A gentleman
in the civil service of India had a pet tiger
confined in strong cage, which often got
so noisy and disagreeable that he had to be
bambooed- rather difficult job. One day
some one threw a freshly killed cobra at his
cage, which, getting entangled among the
bars, hung suspended there. The tiger
trembled from head to foot, and skunk into
the farthest corner Of his cage, putting up
his fore-claws with the apparent idea Of
protecting his head. He was completely
cowed until the defunct reptile was remov-
ed. A monkey in Cochin China absolutely
went into fits, and tainted away, when the
rather cruel experiment was made of fasten-
ing dead cobra to its collar.

A curious fact is that, although the
lynching of Henry Mason, colored, recently,
for the murder of Mr.. Hammsrsley, is the
first occurrence the kind in Campbell
eoauty, the very name of "lynch law was
derived from native of that county, old
Colonel Lynch, who was in the habit of
administering summary punishment to ma
rauders and miscreants of every description
without paying any attention to the ordi-
nary processes Of law. Hence he was
called aJudge Lynch, and this, it is said,
is the true origin ofsthe terms slynehing"

ONLY A BOY.

ONLY A BOY.
From the Boston Transcript.
Only boy?
Only healthy and rosy face,
Bearing of pain or grief no trace,
Save where at times the shadows play
Like the light clouds ON summers day.
Only boy?
Only loving and trusting heart
That throbs and strains for long life's start
That yields in love to the gentle touch
Ofone who will chide not overmuch.
Only boy?
Only an earnest and longing soul
Through which wild fancies and wishes roll,
Peering from out those eager eyes
At the untried world that around them lies.
Only boy?
Only the germ of some unknown gain
To a world that wavers 'twixt joy and pain.
Tell me of better gift who can,
To give to the world than an honest man.
Only boy?
Yes, when you sec him in after days,
Hating and grieving on life's stern ways,
Will he not look you through and through.
Bitterly questioning you-yes. you?
Only boy2
What did you do with his ardent youth?
What did you do with his love of truth
What did you do with lis tender heart?
Look, if you will. at your own poor part.
Only boy?
Only man with q saddened face,
Bearing of grief and sin the trace,
Craving love that might cleanse the stain
OF the old thoughts that viii come again.
Only boy?
Only spirit that scars at last
Der the chains and blinds of petty past,
Hardened but faithful, saddened but true,
Sayed-but the praise is not for you.
The Spirit of Winter arose on the air.
With shiyering limbs all naked and bare
Born in the depths of an iceland cave,
Graded and nursed on a stormy wave,
He slumbered season, and then came forth;
His steeds were the bitterest winds of the north;
A frozen cloud was his whirling car;
Darkness and Fear were his heralds of war;
His icicle teeth did rattle and shake
Like hurtling stone on a frozen lake,
Or the Gathering bones of a gibbeted form,
That is driven about by the merciless storm;
His long, skinny arms he waved in the breeze,
And stripped of their verdure the plants and Il
trees;
Wherever he snorted h is whitening breath
All delicate beings crumbled in death.
