from twenty to sixty feet, ana the time required,

II has been feared that the ventllating furnace at
Avondale would some day Are tho shaft. as it was
avery dry mine The danger to life Is very great
In mine which has but one means OF entrance

OF many mines In the same condition. 1t is to be
hoped that the next Legislature will not as 30 many
previous ones have DONE refuse to pass stringent
law for the protection Of miners ana Inspection of
mines.


The loss BY the burning Of the Avondale mine
worHs to-day is from $4,000 to 100000 not count
ing the loss BY the stoppage Of mining. This mine
had been involved in strike for over three months,
but had resumed work last Thursday and was pro-
ducng $50 tons Of coal per day. The works were
built In 1857 and 1t will take four 70 six months to
rebuild than.

There is another marine disaster reported at Nor.

Liverpool to Baltimore. went ashore on the north

the ship being closely reefed was not making more
than five or six knots an hour. The captain b ad

the vessel IN charge of seaman with orders to call

southery far out Of her course, and
when she struck on tho outer bar of

on board. All the boats were at once hOisted out
and ell hands abandoned the ship, which they ex.

An intelligent planter of Ala
bama entirely escaped the ravages
of the caterpillar last year, although
it destroyed the cotton upon eve
ry other plantation in his county.
His crop was the finest he ever
raised. The caterpillars came up
to the fields of all his next door
neighbors, but they did not cross
his fences. The reason for this was
ne issued the sternest orders that
not a single bird, except the jay,
should be killed on his plantation
under any pretext whatever. He
allowed little willow groves to
grow in his fields, and 10 them he
sent sack of oats every morning,
which was scattered upon the
ground. The birds fed upon the
oats, and swarmed in thousands
around bis fields. They ex-
terminated the cotton fly. And
hence as there were no eggs, there
were no caterpillars; there were
no larve; but there was a bloom
ing garden in the midst of blight
ed wilderness. There is no evil
without a cure. We know of no
species of bird which ought TO be
killed off, except the common jay.
they are deadly enemies and the
common murderers of almost every


species of the feathered tribe
They rob nests, suck the eggs, rob
them of the young and eat them.


These ornithological oannibals


should be killed for this reason.

One had wealth, another beauty;


Oh twas hard indeed to choose
Either prize was worth the winning,


Each too great by far to lose;
One was rich, and one was handsome
Wealth was ugly, beauty poor
Beauty maketh Wealth more wealthy,
Wealth increases Beauty's store.
"Rob the one and wed the other


Silence, tempter, get thee gone;
What are both devoid of honor?


Worse than either when alone.
Conscience is not bribed by riches,


Wealth is not slave for crime;
Crime will stain the soul forever,


Conscience rack you in your prime.
Limbs to labor, brain to guide them,
Health TO keep them firm and strong,
And Il lass brimful of beauty,


Ares fortune to the young;
These are mine, and / shall leave them,
Cozened by deceitful gold?
Get thee gone, thou bold deceiver,


Tempt me when I'm getting old.

been an ardent admirer of the

mer sort. When he proposed to


her he said he wished her to be-


come his wife on her own terms.


She consented, her terms being


the retention of her maiden
name, and the remuneration ON his


part of all his legal rights and au.
thority as a husband.


Such q union could not have
been formidable to her, whatever
it might have been to him. Their
marriage was nothing more than
an agreement to live together
while they were agreeable to each
other, and as there were but few
bonds there was but little tempta-
tion to break them. Perhaps
such unions might be repeated to
advantage between persons who
feel uncertain of a harmonious fu-
ture.


Lucy Stone and her husband
say those who ought to know
have never repented. They have
lived very happily together for
thirteen years, aud are likely to
do SO to the last. They have but
one child, a daughter, and have
since their marriage resided most
of the time at West Bloomfield,
New Jersey, in the strictest retire
ment.


Lucy Stone-the name of Mrs.
Blackwell always offends hers
very far from handsome. She is
small in stature, has gray eyes,
dark brown hair, a well shaped
mouth, and handsome teeth. Her
complexion is so forid as to indi-
cate rusticity, and her features
are not at all regular or expressive
of high breeding. Hers is strong
face, and when lighted up loses
much of its homeliness, and strikes
you as intellectual. Her charm is
in her voice. Turn away from
her, and you can we'll imagine she
is lovely. Look at her critically.
and you almost forget the sweet
tones that have SO much to do
with her power Of persuasion.-l
She is extremely kind-hearted and
benevolent, and never neglects any
to do good, She has
been much misrepresented, ridi-
culed, and abused; but no one
who knows her will say she is not
a true woman, whose aims and
purposes have always been in the
of justice, humanity aud
right.

How TO MAKE GOOD PICKLE.-
To seven gallons of water add one
gallon of salt, one quart of molas-
ses, and two ounces of saltpetre,
increasing the ingredients in the
same proportion SO as to make pick
lie enough to thoroughly cover the
beef--then boil slowly for several
hours, having the scum taken off
as it trises. Having boiled enough,
let the pickle stand all night, SO
thatit may get entirely cold before
being used.


We have used this receipt with
uniform success, for nearly thirty
years.


The forequarter is preferable for
picking, though the lower portions
of the hindquarter do very well.

DOMINION news continues very meager.--
Positively it is now stated that the Banking
Bill will be pushed to a test during the pres

different from what has been lately expected.
The general theme of the leading articles in
the Dominion newspapers is the great question
as to what the Home Government will finally
do as to the Irish church business. All the
editorials which we have seen almost implore
the Tory Lords not to make the threatening

We publish this morning special reports OF


sermons delivered yesterday in various parts


of the city and vicinity, as well as at promi-


nent points alta distance. They viii be found


to embrace the views of variety Of creeds


and to portray the sentiments of our pious


people Of nearly every sect and color. The
present Lenten period is a season of unusual
interest in the religious world, and all who
practice or profess godliness in any shape show
their devotion, or, as the lady portions Of the
congregations do in our fashionable churches
upon days so bright and beautiful as yester-
day, display their colors. We have much need
Of . shower Of grace and divine beneflcence
all over our country-for the soil is arid and
barren of heavenly fruits. The unrighteous
have crept into places Of power and trust and
robbed the people Of their money even in
their own tabernacles. Our halls Of legisla-
tion are filed with corrupt men. Laws arc
passed, not for the promotion Of the public
veal, but to secure profit and plunder and to
advance schemes Of personal aggrandizement.
Lawlessness, including every branch Of out
rage, murder, robbery and all. the train Of
evils that environs condition of sin and
wickednsss, besets our great cities, and the
tempter is cropping his Satanic way even into
our peaceful rural fields There is, how
ever, much hope for the truly pious
from the recent political change in
our government. Our political High Priest is
man Of commanding virtue and righteous
ness. He has promised to sweep out corrup-
tionists wherever he finds them, and to place
in their stead men Of honor and probity. That
he has made but few changes SO far arises not
from the fact that bad men are in Office, but,
unfortunately, for the reason that there are so
few competent and irreproachable men aspir-
ing to official position from which to make
judicious selections. It is the duty of all our
churches to encourage him in this great moral
work. He ought to be prayed for every Sab
bath from every pulpit in the land, so that the
sinful among the congregations may be made
to understand that the nation has an upright
and conscientious head, and that it is the duty
Of all our people to strengthen and sustain him
In his efforts for the redemption of our land
from official degradation. There is, therefore,
much labor in this vineyard before our clergy
men and all pious people, and we trust they
will not falter upon the wayside nor become
weary in well doing. Read the sermons of
yesterday. t8a h
