No one answered. His sister hid her face

handsome face grew very sad as he thought,
"The poor fellow is right; there are few
things that young girls dislike more than gray
hair and wrinkles"

HENRY WARD BEEcHER on INTEREST.
How many people in the country have
found true the following by Henry
Ward Beecher:


No blister draws harder than inter.
est does. OF all industries none is
comparable to that of interest. 1t
works day aud night, in fair weather
and in foul 1t has no sound in IFS
footsteps, but travels fast 1t gnaws
at mans substance with visible teeth.
1t binds industry with its film, as the
fly is bound upon a SPIDERS web. Debt
rolls a man over and over, binding
him hand and foot, and letting him
hang upon the fatal mesh until the
longlegged interest devours him.
There is no crop that can afford to
pay interest money on a farm. There
is but one thing raised on farm like
it, and that is the Canadian thistle,
which swarms new plants every time
You break its roots, whose blossoms
are prolific, and every flower the
father of million seeds. Every leaf
is an awl, every branch a spear, and
and every plant platoon of bayonets,
and field full of them is like an arm.
ed host The whole plant is tor.
ment and a vegetable curse. And
yet a farmer had better make his bed
of Canada thistles, than attempt to
lie at ease upon interest.

1t is decided that the new mammoth
is not exempt from the ills that ordi.
nary ships are heir to. The directors
having decided that the vessel should
go to Southampton, she left Holyhead
harbor on the Sd inst. In steaming
clear Of the Welch coast she put out
far enough to sea to give those on
board q taste Of life on the ocean wave.
1t was supposed that the steamer
would ride upon the waves without
rolling or pitching like ordinary YES
sells, but this anticipation was doomed
to disappointment. The chairs and
tables began to be unsteady, to reel
to and fro like drunken man, and be
at their wits end. The crockery fol-
lowed, the cups, saucers and dishes
rushed furiously to destruction against
the pantry walls, and were dashed to
pieces like potter's vessel. About
five O'Clock giant wave came surg.
ing on towards the bows, and struck
the Great Eastern with a loud boom,
sending its green waters in heavy
clump clear over the forward bull
warks, and drenching the men on deck.
1t was also proved by this trial trip
that the Great Eastern will require
three hundred tons Of coal day to
make her go at the rate Of fifteen and
half knots an hour. So, on the whole,
it may be questioned whether her 81.
gantic size is not, after al, the chief
and only merit of the mammoth steam
er.

MED her that which alone could have given
her power as such. Neither her freedom
nor her property was in her own power, and
her whole soul was repugnant to applying
TO stranger for counsel, or appealing to

dependent ut given age.


1t was during these distressing circum
stances that her soul aroused itself and
found peace in its own pure desires, and in
the conviction that the governing power OF
the world was more just than human laws
and Judgments. The Gospel which Yngve
had revealed to her, began to difTuse its
light through her soul. She often thought
of the words, Righteous Father, the world
has not known Thee, and appealed from
her earthly to her Heavenly Father. now
her only hope, and continued quietly to rul.
fiji her everyday duties, attentively watch
ing the while for any favorable tn rn which
circumstances might take, in the hope th at
the moment would come when she cdtIld
take decisive step to secure herself and
her future.


She began dnring this time to exercise a
more and more beneficial effect upon the
education of her young sisters. She en-
deavored TO accustom them to a settled
course Of daily work, and showed them the
ultimate object of this as beyond our earth
ly life.


Often fascinated by the lofty doctrine
which she promulgated, she yet withdrew
many time to her own chamber to shed
the bitter tears Of doubt and suffering. 1t
often appeared 10 her as if she consecrated
the lamb for sacrifice; aud she wept over
her sisters, over all the young souls which
would be born, live, and slowly die in this
hard unrighteous world. Afterwards, she
dried her tears and went from her own
room, grave, but calm, ready to work, to
sustain, to comfort. She concealed the
toni in her own heart, and let the flowers
above it seud forth their fragrance for 9th
ers, A certain, singular, lofty, and touch-
ing beauty developed itself the while, in
her gIauce voice, and whole being, togeth-
er with an increasing power over the souls
of Others, which. she felt, not without plea
sure. Her young sisters, in particular, at

Occasionally we get brief outlines of the news by
foreign steamer, from Cape Race. Cape Race is
the me st easterly point of North America, being
promontory of the island of Newfoundland. The
European steamers approach within mile two
OF Cape Race light, usually reaching that point in
seven or eight days A boatman is employed there
by the associated press, who cruises the spot
and the steamers throw up signals and fire gun TO
attract attention. When the newsboat is seen
from the steamer 4 buoyant tin can with fac
attached is thrown over, which can be seen to a
considerable distance; the steamer keeps on its
course without interruption, and the boatmen
pick up the can and take it quickly as possible to
the telegraph station at st. Johns whence the news
contained In it's at despatched to all parts the
United States. 1t first passes over the Newfound-
land line, which is built across the island through
an almost impenetrable wilderness, thence across
the submarine cable to Nova Scotia, and through
New brunswick to Maine and Boston and New York
The telegraphic distance from Boston to st. Johns
Is over thousand miles, and it is not singular that
wire which for considerable portion of the route
is through wilderness should be sometimes out of
order. We suppose the reason for making the Cape
Race dispatches meager is the difficulty of trans
mittlng the news upon the Newfoundland and Nova
Scotia lines. Otherwise there is no reason why it
should not be full as the despatch that comes
from Halifax. There have been of late since the
war commenced, very annoying interruptions on
the Nova Scotia lines, which are attributed to in
territorial misunderstanding.


The amount of foreign news passing over the tel
egraph line is now very great, and the dispatches
usually embrace all the interesting and important
features of the news. They lack only method in the
arrangement to make them quite perfect. The
promiscuous manner in which the different events
and circumstances are mixed up adds vastly to the
labor of preparing dispatches for publication; and
to print them as they to hand, after the man
ner of some papers, is only to throw the vexation
that properly falls to the editor upon every one of
his readers. As the telegraph lines improves, and
those who prepare for the press come to un-
derstand their duty better the foreign news will
undoubtedly come to hand in good shape as our
home dispatches

LATE FAsHION.-Napoleon ! II. is as nearly as pos
sible, aping Napoleon l. in everything. The last
wrinkle in the imitation way is the adoption of the
nudity of costume by the ladies of the imperial court
Eugene favored the plan because she was getting
obese and looked bunchy with high necked dresses,
besides having fine shoulders and bust, and she
took the lead in inaugurating the fashion by coming
out in dress which had no sleeves, the upper edge
of the waist passing under the arms and across
back and breast Thus very little material is
wasted in needless supertuity of covering for the
upper part of the person This style is calculated
to prove advantage in one contingency, for if
Austria should be too much for France, and the in
vaders should reach Paris the patriotic and des-
pairing ladies of the empire scOrning to survive its
fall, would not find it necessary ''to bare their
bosoms to the weapons of the enemy their milli-
ners having saved them the trouble. We remark
that this fashion, though not in its extreme, has
