valued possessions of the Charlestown
navy yard, is in danger of turning
turtle. and it is learned that the

its present Etate The frigate is leak
ing badly and the hold fills SO rapidly
that it is necessary to use a power
pump frequently. One of the attaches
of the yard said today that the Off
cials did not care to risk placing the
ship in drydock to make repairs, as
the vessel would crush with its own
weight. .

Chiefly to give delight.
With an earth flied with roses, and an
air rich with their perfume, and with the
holy calm of summer all about us, and a
June noon shedding about the leaf
Twilights of airy silver and the Sc
rene silence made only more profound in its
peace by the croaking OF distant frogs and
the hooting of owls, it seems an unnecessary
process to sit down and inquire, of our
selves, what we really are, and what we
really want. and what we really intend to
do with our lives. I have friends who solve
these questions entirely to their own salts
faction, but find that | do not belong to
the energetic and organising variety; but
would rather wander out to where the
king-cups grow, and, sitting on willow
trunk beside a little stream, forget the very
existence of everything but green pasture
and still waters, and the glad blowing of
wind across the joyous fields. And yet, to
profit by retirement we must not allow the
ideal equivalents Of the goads and loads
that stung and CALLED us in the thorough
fare to pursue and irritate us still, but win
true respite from them By ceasing to think
of them. Bonivard, in dungeon in the
castle of Chillon, in Switzerland, was
fastened TO a ring in column by chain
four feet in length. He could walk only
three steps: but he resolved to keep him
self alive until some providential deliver
ance should enable him again to serve the
cause of liberty. A channel worn three or
four inches into the rocky floor. still visi-
bic, makes the pathetic limits OF his daily
and determined exercise; and within this
circle may be seen three yet deeper cav
tiles, made by the three footballs which his
chain allowed him. After six years he was
rescued. It was his indomitable purpose
alone which had kept him from decay and
death. But this cell Of his was not dark
cell, at least not while the day shone, and
directly opposite the pillar to which be was
chained was a long low window from which
he could see the lakethe lake of Geneva,
the bluest and most beautiful in the world,
think, and some ice-capped peaks Of the
alps on the opposite side, and the fishing
boats with their Lateen sails between, and
with Gods sunshine not wholly shut ous,
and with so much beauty before the eyes, it
seems to me one might endure great deal
shall never forget that glorious day in
August when We visited Chlllon We
went in small boats from Montfeyil. The
upper part Of the castle is now kept as a
prison for local criminals; but the lower
part, aud the cell Of Bonivard is held
sacred for the inspection Of curious, or
reverential visitors, / think I could never
make any one see the beauty of earth and
sky as it appeared to me that day. The
mountains. the peaks Of which pierced the
sky like shafts Of silver. and the blueness
of the sky which hardly equaled the blue
ness Of the lake beneath, and around us,
