Importance of constant employ
ment as a means of Strengthening
and maintaining the health OF
mind and body. This, indeed. with
a consciousness of continual pro
gress toward a desirable end, is
found to constitute the main ele-
ment of happiness.

proved by a wide porch which !

Ernest and Franz were highly
successful as librarians.
The books, when unpacked and
arranged, proved to be a most
valuable collection, capable of af-
fording every sort of educational
advantage.
Besides a variety of books of
voyages. travels, divinity, and nat
ural history Several containing
fine colored illustrations), there
were histories and scientific
works, as well as standard fic-
tions in several languages; also
a good assortment of maps, charts,
mathematical and astronomical in
struments, and an excellent pair
of globes.
l foresaw much interesting
study on discovering that we pos
sessed the grammars and diction-
aries of a great many languages,
a subject for which we all had
a taste. With French we were
we'll acquainted. Fritz and Ernest
had begun to learn English at
school, and made further progress
during a visit to England. The
mother, who had once been init
mate with a Dutch family, could
speak that language pretty well,
After a great deal of discus
sion, We agreed to study differ
emit languages, so that in the
event of meeting with people OF
other nations, there should be at
least one of the family able to
communicate with them.
All determined to improve our
knowledge of German and French.
The two elder boys were to
study English and Dutch with
their mother.
Ernest, already possessing con-
siderable knowledge of Latin,
wished to continue to study it,
so as to be able to make use OF
the many words on natural his
tor and medicine written in that
language.
Jack announced that he meant
to learn Spanish, because 1t
sounded so grand and imposing"
/ myself was interested in the
Malay language, knowing it to be
so widely spoken in the islands
of the Eastern Seas, and think
ing it as likely as any other to
be useful to us.
Our family circle by and by
represented Babel in miniature,
for scraps and fragments of all
these tongues kept buzzing about
our ears from morning to night,

each sporting his newly acquired
word or sentence on every pos
sible occasion, prepounding idioms
and peculiar expressions like rid
dies, to puzzle the rest.
In this way, the labor Of learn
ing was very considerably light
ened, and everyone came to know
a few words of each language.
Occasionally we amused our
selves by opening chests and pack
ages hitherto untouched, and
brought unexpected treasures to
light-mirrors, wardrobes, a pair
Of console tables with polished
marble tops, elegant writing ta-
bles and handsome chairs, clocks
of various descriptions, a musical
box, and a chTondmeter were
found; and by degrees our abode
was fitted up like a palace, so
that sometimes we wondered at
ourselves, and felt as though we
were strutting about in borrowed
plumes.
The children begged me to de-
eide on a name for our salt-cave
dwelling and that of Rockburg
was chosen unanimously.
The weeks of Imprisonment
passed so rapidly, that no n
found time hang heavy on his
hands.
Books occupied me so much that
but little carpentering was done,
yet I made a yoke for the oxen,
a pair of cotton wool carders,
and a spinning wheel for my
wife.
AS the rainy season drew to
a close, the weather for a while
became wilder, and the storms
fiercer than ever. Thunder roar
ed, lightning blazed, torrents
rushed toward the sea, which
came in raging pillows to meet
them, dashed to fury by the tenn
pests of wind which swept the
surface of the deep.
The uproar of the elements
came to an end at last.
Nature resumed her attitude Of
repose, her smiling aspect of
peaceful beauty; and soon all
traces of the ravages of floods
and storms would disappear be-
naath the ~IuYuriant vegetation of
the tropics.
Gladly quitting the sheltering
walls of Rockburg to roam once
more in the open air, we crossed
Jackal River, for a walk along
the coast, and presently Fritz
with his sharp eyes observed
something on the small island
near Flamingo Marsh, which was,
he said. long and rounded, re-
sembling a boat bottom upward.
Examing it with a telescope /
could form no other conjecture,
and we resolved to make it the
object of an excursion next day,
being delighted to resume our old
habit of starting in pursuit of adj
venture.
The boat was accordingly got in
readiness; giving it some repairs,
and fresh pitching, and then we
made for the point of interest,

There are ran gaps TO be filled which will connect
