But think on his throne he sat silent.
And confessed it II sensible thing:
For there's never Il burden SO heavy

There is never so bitter Il sorrow,
That the cup could not fuller fill.

Adelia Louise StowA, a literary person of

The WOOtcock and Her Young.

The woodcock builds her nest among the
dry heather in the woods, and there, of
course, her eggs are Matched. The baby
birds are helpless creatures, of no use TO
themselves till their bills grow hard and
their legs and wings become strong. They
live chiefly on worms and want besides :.
good deal of moisture.
These things can only be had in swampy
ground, and as the youngsters cannot go to
the marshes the question is, How are they
fed9 1t would be wearsome job for the
mother to fly to and fro with the large
quantity of worms th1t her hungry infants
need. She would have no time 30 get /,
meal for herself
Well, regularly every evening she actu-
ally carries her young in her feet from the
woods to the marsh and brings them back
again before day break to the shelter of the
wood, where they stay during the day.
This habit was doubted for a long time
aud even denied, but it is now accepted as
a well established lact.-New York Jour

SIGN Your Communications.

How many times must we tell our read
er. that unsigned communications receive
no attention. but are put into the waste
basket unread. The following line: "No
notice whatever will be taken of I'M
signed communications" is run at the
head of our editorial page every morning,
and yet there is scarcely day that two or
three anonymous communications do not
20 into our waste basket. There are two
before us as we write. One desires US to
make a little personal note about a party
who has been sick; but is able to be about
agsin. We should have been pleased to
publish it had the writer signed his name,
but without any signature, what
authority Las the Journal for pub
lishicg and becoming responsible for the
statements it makes? Often parties send
Us little items about themselves and do not
sign them. That is false modesty. We
do rot publish the source of our informa-
ton in such personal items; but we must
insist upon knowing it in order to estab-
lish the reliability of such statements.
Even then mistakes may sometimes
be made, through the fact that our
informants may have been uncon-
sciously in error. Another communication
comes from lady who speaks for an CT
ganization and signs herself "a member of
etc." The communication is apparently a
bona fde one but whose authority has the
Journal for giving its readers the state
ments it contiins? How can it know
that the writer is "a member of
ETC." In this case we have not even the
handwriting Of our CORE spondent, for the
communication is in typewriter. An anony-
nous signature is equivalent to no sigma
ture. 1t affords us absolutely no authority
for opening our columns to the state me nts
that precede it. Every thing sent us for
publication MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY THE
BONA FIDE NAME OF THE WRITER. We do
not want these signatures for pub
LEGATION, but simply as guarantee of their
authenticity. We wish that our readers
would understand t e fu,i,ity of sending us
anony nous contributions by so doing they
will save themselves the annoyance of need
less work. The Journal will always Re
glad to receive contributions when they are
properly signed, and will never fail to keep
faith with all who thus favor it.

TWO MEMORABLE WRECKS.
The Horrors of Northwest Gale ON tbs

Atlantic Coast.
Woe to the sailing ship that encounters q
| December nor wester in the north Atlantic
near our coast! Huh and rigging become
| incased with ice; the crew work with diiii-
| Guilty, for the prodigious seas coming on
board freeze where they strike, make decks
and rigging slippery and freeze hands, faces
and feet Woe to the ship that is wrecked
on our coast in such terrible weather!
There is one specially memorable wreck
Z which these horrors were awfully exem-
plified 1t happened to an American prl-
vateer brig in the war of the Revolution
She sailed out from Plymouth with crew
of l44 men, Of whom many belonged to that
part of Massachusetts. The wind was
southwest, but when it got into the bay II
veered to the northeast, blowing so harC
she could rot carry enough sail to keep OF
lee shore They wore ship and tried to
run back, but she struck on the bar and
could not be moved. A prodgious sea was
running, it was the month OF December
and the vessel was loaded down with frozen
spray. Then the wind shifted to northwest,
and what the northeastern began the north
wester completed.
After the wind went down, the people OF
Plymouth went off to the rescue. They
climbed the slippery sides and stepped on
the slippery deck and entered the cabin and
the forecastle. There was not man left
alive on board All were dead. One hun
dred and forty four corpses were taken on
shore and laid in the church. But when
the minister arose to preach the funeral
sermon and saw that array of dead men be-
fore him his voice failed him, and he fell
back in the pulpit in a fit.
Similar was the doom that befell the
noble ship New Era in 1854. She was struck
by the deadly Northwestern. Those were
the days when emgrants came to the
United States in sailing ships, and the New
Era had some 600 souls on board 1t was
the middle of December, 1854 She was
nearing the Jersey shore-of all our coasts
one Of the most dangerous and yet her
captain, instead of exercising proper vlgl-
lance with such u precious freight III his
charge, was engaged in making love to one
of his passengers and drinking himself
drunk.
On dark night in a binding snowstorm
the ship struck on Deal beach. To make
matters worse she settled on quicksand,
which sucked down the hull, and the break
ers roared over her decks and swept off hun
dreds. The survivors fled to tue rigging,
aud then the wind shifted into the north
west. sharp AS razor and fierce AS hell.
One after another the survivors were frozen
to death. Some fell frozen into the surf,
some chung with icy grip to the ropes and
spars dead Nearly 800 corpses lay the next
day in rows in long barn, where the bowl
ing alley of the Hathaway House now
stands. They were buried in one common
grave at Branchburg. -Worthingt on's Mag
