the foot of the rocks, utterly paralyzed the
crew. Swiftly and unerringly the ship sped
on, but at the moment of supreme despair
an opening appeared in the cliffs. In the
mouth of this hungry canyon the wreck
was driven with the speed of the wind.
For a few minutes nothing could be seen
but darkness, and nothing heard but the
thunder of the sea. Suddenly'the hulk shot
into quiet waters, and a vision of bright-
ness broke on the bewildered mariners.
All around them, tremendous hights,
arose, breaking into lofty spires. They
were in a mighty amphitheatre, and the
only outlet was through the chasm they had
entered. Strange to say, the walls of this
sea-chamber were ofa creamy white, and
the pinnacles were like alabaster. They
were so high that the sky seemed to rest on
them like a dome of pearl. Captain King
says that no mortal man could describe the
grandeur of that scene. From tell o’clock
in the moring u ‘1 three in the afternoon
the sun filled th lace with its splendor.
The water was frightfully deep, but so
transparent that the vessel appeared to be
floating in id-air. Far down in the depths
were curious formitions, and shadowy
columns of coral, an I trees with all kinds of
strange fishes playing .imong their branches.
The moon happen. l to be full, and when
He chanced to be on a train going to Lon-
don, and had written to have his luggage
from a certain point sent to meet him, to be
put on board the train at Leamington.
Arrived at the latter place, where the- train
stopped a few moments, he leaped from the
railway carriage, leaving his wife and
friends, while he sought for his luggage to
place on the train, but in vain. Meantime
the time for starting arrived, yet still he
tarricd, thinking tojump on at the last
moment, American fashion, and started to
do so, but was restrained by an official.
.“But Imust go on this train; my wife’s
aboard,” said the anxious American.
“Can’t help it, sir, ’train’s in motion——
against regulations.”
“Butgou are going," said the traveler, as
he marked the long train gradually moving,
car after car, past them,and the official pre-
paring to take his place.
“Certainly. I’m guard, last man on. I
take the van. Stand back !”
So saying, the guard, or, as we call him,
conductor, pushed back the American and
leaped to his place on the step of the guard’s
van or last carriage in the train.
Quick as he was, the American was-equal
to him, for with two or three bounds, des-
pite the cries and rush of the porters, he
leaped after the guard, clung to him on the
“ Is it not time for us to think Of retrench-
ment,lny dear ‘2” said Mr. Livingston to his
wife, as he reclined in the depths of a lux-
urious easy chair before a glowwg grate.
“ Retrenchincnt is the watchword now,
and a very reasonable and seasonable one."
Mrs. Livington looked inquiringly ‘into
her husband’s face, and there was 11 Shade
of anxiety in the tone of her voice as she
inquired : .
“ Is there a necessity for it in our case, my
dear ?Y), . ‘
“Not exactly a necessity, I am happy to
say. It is rather a measure of expediency
than necessity. Every man ought to ask if
he cannot lessen his expenses at such a
time as this. As I said, retrenchment is the
watchword now.”
“It ought to be with many, no doubt,but
I cannot see why all should adopt it. Our
expenses have ever borne a wise and rea.
sonable proportion to our income, and you
admit that even now there is no necessity
for retrenchment.” - '
“This is true. Still, 1 think, in these
hard times, it is wise to cut ofl’unneccssary
expenses. There is a propriety in doing so.
Besides, the claims of charity will be great
this winter. There will be an immense
thither. As he ascended the stairs leading
to the humble apartment of the sewing-
girl, he heard, issuing from the room point-
ed out to him as MissTilden’s, the rough,
harsh voice of a man, and the sobs of a
female.
The story was soon told. Lucy had been
unable to obtain work since the day she
was dismissed from the employ of Mrs.
Livingston. She could not pay the month’s
rent of her room, and she and her little all
were being ejected from it. Mr. Livingston
hastened to repair the mischief of this sec-
ond measure of retrenchment. The rent
was paid, and Lucy was informed that there
was plenty of sewing for her at the house
of her old patron. »
“I have learned a. lesson,” said Mn'Liv-
ingston to his wife that evening. “ Not re-
trenchment, but wise expenditure, shall be
my motto this winter. Let .those who
should and those who must.retrench; but
let those who have to spend, spend wisely
and well. He who hoards up his Master’s
wealth when he shouldlexpend it may not
be less criminalvthan he who squanders it.
Mr. Chase is right; I will follow his exam-
ple and give employment to as many as
possible this winter, while I do not forget
the suffering who are unable to work."
would be without it. Of course all those
.who are educated to believe in God’s word,
and all such as are in the higher walks of
life (and these classes embrace most of those
found in a gathering of this kind,) do not so
much need the benefits this society confers.
Its benefits are mostly for those who are
outside of these classes; for the many who
have not been educated‘to regard the Scrip-
tures as containing the highest rule of life.
There are not a few of such. who year by
year, have their hearts gladdened by what
this Society is doing for them.
As to what has been done in this respect
during the past year, Rev. Mr. Ol'nlstead,
missionary of the Society, will make a full
report.
for me to relate what has been dune in aid
of those who are poOr and needy, in aid of
those who, above all things else, need the
sympathy and love-that are inspired in the
highest degree by the word ofGOd. ‘

a marble mummy, her beauty was enough
to melt the heart of Socrates. The rough
sailors uncovered theighcads and stood in
silent adoration before her. The vessel’s
papers were found,but could not be opened;
Enough, however, was discovered to show
that the ship belonged to one of the early
Spanish fleets. Her name was the f‘I_1‘,ldora-

in search of gold. They Evidently had on-
tered the'bay in fair weal er, for the sails
were set, and the pilot was at the wheel.
An atmosphere of drowsiness had settled on
them, and by some phenomenon Of_naturc,
they had become petrified .while in their
sleep of death. , _ '
Captain King and his men resenteren their
boat and landed on the shore by the woods.
Herc were fresh marvels. The trees and
shrubs were also petrified. Rare and deli-
cate flowers covered the ground. But no
perfume exhaled from their_ blossoms. They
were like glass and porcelain of every cole’r,
and as beautiful as the gems of Aladins
palace. , ‘ ‘
Asthe explorers were about entering the
stone forest, a peculiar feeling suddenly
came over them, and for the first time they
. observed that a delicate mist filled the air,
”With a cry or terror they rushed to the
boats and rowed back to the ship.‘ Two
life-boats were manned, and some .instru-
'ments and provisions hastily thrown in. All
hands then started for the entrance, deter-
mined to force their way out.
The storm had subsided two days before,
but the .sea was still raging near the rocks,
The spray dashed over them many times,
and once they despaired of their lives, but
after-a long struggle witlfthe waves, they
[reached the open sea,nearly exhausted.
It was many hours before the awful roar
of the surf faded from their ears. The ef-
fects of the petrlfying mist which had filled
their lungs in the bay, proved nearly fatal.
Each‘ day they.grew drowsier,~aud at last
their limbs would scarcely move. Fortu-
nately they were able to reach the track of
the whaling vessels, where they were soon
:picked up.

Two months ago, the Professor began. a

Here was a dilemma. A stranger in Lon-

His wife and be both strangers. “Hadn’t
even been to their hotel yet. Couldn't it 'be
arranged in the morning?”
f‘Oh, certainly, if he would kindly give
his card}? the official would call at his hotel
at eleven tO-morrow. ,
No sooner said than done. The American
whipped out his card-case, handed, over the
bit of pastcboard to the officer, who glanced
at it, nodded to the cab driver, who closed
the door of the vehicle, and the party were
soon rattling over the London pavements.
.As they whirled along, the first view of
London by gaslight was forgotten in the ex-
planation of the affair by the American to
his wife. “But it isall over now, I guess,”
said be, “for although I gave the fellow my
name, I didn’t give him my address, and he
gpu’t know where to come to-inorrow after
a
Here again was a mistaken guess, for a
second thought might have informed him
that the number of every cab admitted in
the railway station was known, that he had
given his direction to ' the driver before
being accosted by the officer, and thereby
the latter had obtained his address, and that
if the case had been ofsnftlcient importance,
the cab could easily have been followed by
another, even if the driver had not been in-
structed to notify the officer where 11c left
his fare, ‘
However, our tourist, feeling somewhat
uneasy, related the affair to an English
friend, whom he met on arrival at the hotel,
who did not relieve his anxiety by looking
grave, shaking his head,and remarking they
had best both go to the manager’s office
next morning. This they did, and, through
the intervention of a personal friend of one
of the directors, after apologies and expla-
nations, the American departed,glad to have
got rid, as be supposed, ofthis unpleasant-
iiess.
About five days after, having meantime
changed his hotel, ourAmeriean citizen bad
business down in the city, after transacting
which he had agreed to meet his wife and a
friend at Westminster Hall to view that
noted building. Standing near the entrance,
and awaiting her coming, he was astonish-
ed to observe her to be accompanied by two
gentlemen instead of one. The second
was introduced as a person who had called
at the hotel to see the American on private
business. He was a respectable-looking
individual Of about fifty years of age, dress-
ed in apepper and salt suit, and, stepping
aside. presented to the tourist his card, which
bore the inscription, "Mr. John Lund, chief
of police, Leamiugton."
He was very polite, was very sorry he had
a disagreeable duty to perform, and he drew
out a lOl'l]1li]tll)‘l>' looking document, with a
prodigious form-ill of English expression,
alid several staiizzg seals, which cited the
offence our traveler had committed upon
one of her majesty’s servants, and summon-
ed the offender to ap war on the following
Wednesday (it was ’1 en Saturday) at “the
aforesaid” Leamington. .
“I was coming up to London myself,”
said the official, apologetically, and thought
I would serve this so as to make it as com-
fortable as possible.”
It was useless for the American to state
that theniattcr had all been settled by the
railway manager; of this the polite chief-
officer knew nothing. The first arrest was
probably at the instance of the officials of
the company in London, but this was by
the police authorities of Leamington, of
which be was chief. The official would not
be satisfied except by a visit of the Ameri-
can and responsible friend again to the
manager’s office at the Paddington station,
when it was arranged that the traveler
would appear and answer on the following
week if the affair was not settled before, and
the polite .chief of 'tlie Learnington police
took his departure. ' .
However, the visit to Westministcr was
given up fer that day, and the American be-
gan to wish he never had jumped upon that
railroad train. Supposing it alright now,
however, he forgot all about it again until
it was unpleasantly brought to mind on the
following Sunday by a note sent him by
private hand to a friend’s, house where he
was spending the day.

this. She Waited some time for her hus-,

he really supposed that he was doing a.
V try wise thing.”
“ [s that your case, my dear ?” said Mrs.
Livingston, in a tone in which wifely sym-
pathy and womanly anxiety were about
equally blended.- '
“ Precisely.”
“ Please explain yourself.”
“ You remember the plans for retrench-
ment adopted three weeks ago.” .
“ I do; and it was only yesterday that
you were descanting on the wisdom of the
proceedings of that evening.
“ That is true: but I have learned since
then this wisdom was folly, not to call it by
a harder name.- But I will tell you what
has happened to open my eyes. You re.
member what I said to you about the poor
fellow whom I assisted yesterday? This
morning I mentioned the circumstances to
my friend, Mr. Chase, as we were speaking
of the hard times and the sufferings of the
porlir. To my surprise, he exclaimed earn-
est v :
“ ‘I would not have given the fellow a
cent.
“‘ Why not?’ I inquired. ‘ Out of work,
with six children to feed; is he not an ob-
ject Of charity?’
‘NO: the fellow came to me with the
same storya week ago. I pitted him, of
course, and ofl’ered him work at low wages
until he could do better. But he scornfully
rejected the proposal. Now, such a mail
I do not care to help. There are hundreds
who would gratefully accept of even mod-
erate-wages. I made him the best Offer I
could afford, and it would have kept his
family from absolute suffering until the
times are better.’ '
“‘If I had known the fact you have
stated, I should have kept .the money for n
more deserving Object,’ I replied.
"" My plan,’ continued Mr. Chase, “ is to
give employment to as many as possible
these hard times. I believe it is the most
benevolent investment of money; it will
secure us from becoming the dupes of those
who make the hard times an excuse for
idleness and riotous gatherings.’
“ ‘ I suspect you are right,’ I said gravely
and thoughtfully; for a new light Was
breaking in upon my mind.
“Half all hour after Mr. Chase 'left the
store, his brother-in-la'w, Mr. Mills, came in.
“‘Are you in want of a female domes-
tie?’ he inquired.
“‘I am not,’ I replied, ‘but why do you
ask?’
“ ‘ I met with a case of suffering yesterday
that touched my sympathies. A poor girl of
neat and modest appearance, came into my
store to inquire if I did not wish to hire
her. On my replying in the negative, she
eagerly inquired if I‘did not know of some
one who wanted to hire. On again receiv-
ing a negative, the tears coursed down her
pale, thin cheeks—for very pale and thin
they were—and she turned away with a
despairing ejaculation that went to my
heart, I called her back and made inquir-
ies into her circumstances. It was a sor-
rowful tale. Her father fell from the roof

taken in sewing for the shops, and she had
gone out to service, and they had managed
to keep want from their door. But now

SANITARY Ancmrncrunn.—Sir William
Thompson, in his add before the Society
of Tclgraph Engineers, ndon, expresses it
as his ' 'on that when architects come to
regurfinselves as engineers, and when
the pu , come to expect them to act as en-
gineers, there will assuredly be less typhoid
fever; invalids too ill to walk, _or ride, or
drive out of doors, or to be benefited by lhe
beauty of foreign scenery, ivill not be expa-
traited merely to avoid the evil effects of
indoor atmosphere; people in good health
'will not be stupeficd by a few hours of an
evening at home‘in gaslight, or of sooinlre‘
union, or by one hour of a. crowded popu-
lar lecture or meeting; and in all hotels,
dwellings, and other buildings, there will be
none but refreshing aerial influences. The
problem of thus insuring Within doors any
prescribed degree of temperature, with air
as fresh and pure as the outside of the house
can supply, Sir William allows, is not an
easy one, but believes that it will certainly
be solved when architecture . becomes a
branch of scientific engineering.
RAILROAD Urs AND Dormer—”While the
Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania
Central continue cutting their own threats
to the great delight of the traveling ‘and
freight shipping public, the Union and Con-
tral Pacific roads have nearly doubled their
freight tariff to San Francisco. This is the
first fruits of the recent coup in Wall street,
whereby the interests of these roads and of
the Pacific Mail have been cohsolidated. In
the former case the stOekholders suffer while
the public enjoy the fun. It isnot unreason-
able tO‘hope that in the latter, if the public
have to pay so roundly, the stockholders
.may get the proceeds in the shape of a long
forgotten luxury, viz., dividends.

AMERICAN CYCLDPEDIA. ~
NEW REVISED EDITION.
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
ed with Several Thousand Engravings and
Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
f‘Tlle New American Cyclopeedia” was com letcd
111 1363, since which time the wide circa tion
which it has attauwdin all partsof the United
States, and. of the Signal developments which
have taken place in every branch of science, lites
rature, and art, have induced the editors and uh-
lishcrs to submit it to an exact and thoroug re-
vision, and to issue a new edition entitled Tim
'AJI ERICA)? C YCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress ‘of discov-
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new workVof reference an imperative want.
The movement of political affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fi'ultflll
application 'to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent; revolutions have oc-
curred, involvuig national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil_ war of our own country,
which was at its height when the last volume of
the old work appeared, has happily been ended,
a d a new course ofeommereial and industrial ac-
ti ity has been commenced. .
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers or
fried.
The "real; political revolutions of the last decade,
with t e. natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in everyone’s mouth, and of
whose lives ever one is curious to know the par-
ticulars. Great attles have been fought andim-
‘portant sieges maintained, of which the details
are as yet_prescrved only in the newspapers or in
the trausrent publications of the day, but which
ought now to take their place in permanent au-
thentic history.
In preparing the present: edition for the press, it
.has accordingly been the aim of the editors to
bring down the information to the latest possible
dates, and to furnish an accurate account of
the most. recent discoveries in science, of every
fresh production in literature, and of the newest
inventions in t racticaiarts, as well as to give
a succinct and. gmal record of the progress of
political-and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and careful
preliminary labor, and. with the most ample re-
gpurees tor carrying it into a successful termina-
1011.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but: every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact: a new Cyclopzediu, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, but
wrth far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time iii the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial efl‘ect,.but to give
greater lucidity and force to the explanations in
the text. They embrace all branches of science
and natural history, and depicttlie most-famous
and remarkable finitures of scenery, architecture
and art, as well as the various processes'of me—
cliaiiics and_ manufactures. Althou‘ h‘ intended
for instruction rather than embell shment, no
pains have been spared to insure their artistic ex-
cellence; the cost of their execution is enormous,
and lets believed that they will find a welcome re-
ception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopaldia,
and worthy of its high char ter. ~
