Do not think that am Of the opinion
that the three classes Of persons spoken
of are TO be blamed for all of the intem-
perance of our land, for well l know
that our youth are 0eset upon every
hand, through allurements Of every
kind, to entice them from the paths of
reetitude. IL behoOves US, then, as par
ents, teachers, friends, or in whatever
capacity we may act, to instil into the
minds of the young the necessity Of
forming, while young, correct habits; to
be truthful and upright; to scorn deeep-
ton in all its forms; to shun evil COM
panions, and particularly should we i'm
press upon their minds the danger of ac-
quiring taste for tobacco and strong
drink, for in the train Of these follow all
other evils.


A few hours after the remains Of the
son of Bishop Morris were taken from
the cess-pOol in which be and two 9TH

full almost to bursting, remarked, "Oh!
there are worse pits than that in Port
land, in which young men are being
daily hurledv And he was able to re-
joice in that hour of sore trial that his
son was everlastingly delivered from the
pitfalls of the evil one, who is constantly
upon the alert, both night and day, to
decOy the unwary into his net, to shun
which all parents should teach their
children by example as well as precept
They should teach them to dare to dc
right without the fear of man. Let
every household be a temperance band.
Then, when the youth of the present
day come into possession of the reins of
government, intemperance, with its at
tendant sins, will receive the eOndemna-
tion it properly deserves.

No member or Senator who would be likely

A little explanation soon cleared the
mystery. Maria had spent the winter
with her aunt. who lived near Seville.
She frequently spent days in the town
with her friend, Blanche La Media, who
was really good-hearted girl. 1t was
she who had persuaded Maria TO adopt
the mask. The warning note and res
cue was merely little plot of the girls
to win the young mans gratitude. His
sudden departure frustrated their plans
and compelled Maria's hasty return
home. Maria's father was cognizant
to the plot, and Eustace vowed it was

r, Atkinson. captain, II. p. Hanson,
mate, and the crew numbered eight
men. They had fine weather until mid
night of January 80. At that time they
were thirty miles east of Delaware
Light-ship. A fearful gale from the
southeast then struck the vessel, and
she was hive to. She drifted to the lee
ward very rapidly, and soundings were
taken every hour. The gale continued
to increase and the sea to grow more
furious. To add to the already great
danger the soundings showed that the
water was shoaling fast. In the morn
ing they had thirty fathoms, at noon
fifteen fathoms and at p. NJ. ten IA
thoms were marked. At this time the
sea was running verv heavy, and the
ship was almost manageable. In
casting the lead, owing to the heaving
of the vessel, the mate made mistake,
thinking he had fourteen fathoms,
when in reality there were only seven.
The wind for moment died down, and
the anchor having been let go and Ia
ken hold, it was hoped that the vessel
would be able TO ride out the storm. But
in few minutes the chain parted, and
although all sail was made to keep off
the beach, the strong wind blew the
vessel up among the breakers. In de-
scribing the scene that then ensued

adrift in an open boat with only one
biscuit to last me for long time. Death

Stories almost innumerable have been
related illustrative Of the sagacity of
the dog and its attachment TO its owner.
A remarkable and well authenticated
instance, which may not be uninterest-
ing has just come under my notice, a
having occurred some years ago in the
neighborhood of Rotterdam. a per-
son in Rotterdam obtained young
shepherd dog, which he retained for 4
long period. While in his possession it
became much attached TO the whole of
the family, and especially to two of its
masters sons. After a time circum-
stances transpired which led TO the an
imal being sent to live permanently at
the residence of a farmer at Thorpe Sal
win. After the lapse of a considerable
time one of the sons of the dog former
master paid visit TO the farm. The
dog, on seeing him, appeared to be over
joyed. and was most demonstrative in
his indications of delight. During his
STAY it would not leave him, and when
it became necessary for him 10 leave In
the evening the animal could scarcely
be restrained, and had to be chained up
in the room where the family were sit
ting. As the visitor was taking leave
of his host the poor animal howled in
the most piteous manner, and manifest
ed other unmistakable signs OF grief.
Immediately after he had left the house
the dog all at once became quiet, and,
settling down on the floor, seemed to
be asleep. The strange and sudden
change which had come over the AMI
was remarked, and, on the parties go
ing to him, he was found to be quite
dead. The singular occurrence became
well known in the neighbOrhood, and
it was regarded that the dog had died
literally heart broken. When the sam'
dog was only pup it was attacked and
whipped by bigger dog. The defeat
ed animal showed his sagacity and a
the same time his revengeful feelings
by waiting until eighteen months hao
elapsed. when it had fully grown, ant
then he lay in wait for his old adver
sary, as near as possible 20 where thu

Outrages Of the kind committed on Sun
day in West Virginia are unfortunately not
uncommon in some parts of the country,
though in this case there were details of
fiendishness and malignity from which even
the summary vengeance of vigilance COM
mittees is ordinarily free. But where the
operation of the law is set aside there is
generally some fact that stands as paliia-
ton. In new Territories or new States, in
sparsely settled districts, where either the
machinery of justice does not exist, or
where it exists in terror of the classes with
whom it is appointed to deal, it is only the
sudden and awful retribution visited upon
murderer by gathering of enraged citizens
that keeps the criminal classes under any
restraint whatever. In such places Lynch
law has on almost recognized existence US a
substitute, however barbarous, for the MOI Q
regular system that the wild men who in-

plan in West Virginia is not Of the same ma
ture. There can be no pretence that the
sanctity of life requires it or that the ordi-
nary machinery OF justice is not equal to
all occasions For the killing Of Wallace,
therefore, there is not shadow Of any sort
of paliation. 1t was q murder as gross

they state their opinion with ap-

spondence sent forth from Washington on


the day it was transmitted to the Senate in


compliance with Senator Blaines resolu-
ton, and which were first given to the pub
lie in the Washing gton correspondence of

as the third member Of the Fisheries Com

these significant letters were withheld


from the press in the publication

objected with so much vigor and feeling to
