Lever was their a more noble son than beâ€" honored in the world and the stafl' of her do- clining years. Aye: he was her support even then, but she did not know it. She never realized that it was her little boy that gave her strength for daily toil-that his slender form was that upheld her over the brink' of de- spair. She only knew how she loved the child, and felt that amidst the midst of age his love would hear her gently through its infirmities to the dark hall leading to the light beyond. Now she is “ the old woman,” but she did not think it would ever come to that. She looked through the future years and saw her boy tq manhood grovgn ; and he stood trans- It seems that in several places in lche world there are volcanoes under the sea. Such volcanoes, of course, do not send up volumes of flame and smoke. Instead, they pour forth streams of sulphurous acid vapor that mingle with the sea-water. Some of these volcanoes are situated in bays where ships can safely ride at anchor. As is well known, the bottoms of many ships are protected by a covering of copper. This copper, after a time, becomes corroded by the action of the sea-water ; a sort of green mold forms, sea-mosses begin to row, and even small sea. animals, like the iarnacles, build their shell-houses upon it. Of course, all these things roughen the ship’s bottom, and as the vessel gathers more and more, it sails very much slower by reason of the eat accumulation. Then, if she happen to e anywhere in the neighborhood of one of those submerged volcanes, the captain sails her thither to be secured. This scouring process does not require hands or machinery of any sort. All that is necessary is that the ship should lie quietly at anchor where the sulphurous acid vapor, mingling with the sea-Water, can gently wash her sides and bottom. In a few days, or weeks, as the case may be, not a weed, not a. barnacle, not a bit of the dark green mold remains, and the ship can sail off again, her copper bottom as clean and as bright as when it was first put on.

MISCELL ANEOUS ITEMS. On Meeting People. {From the Hamilton New Dominion, ‘ ( i l ! i There are persons who find some of their acutest trials in meeting their fellow-beings on the street. Shyness of this sort is very often the result of excessive attention. if one were completely oblivious and self-ab- sorbed, he would have no difficulty in pass- ing anybody. But an observant man is con- scious of the individuality that approaches, and perhaps curious about it. If it is a girl, he has a very strong impulse to see whether she is pretty. It is difficult, even, to let a; man go by without interrogating his counte- ‘ nance as to what manner of man he is. But the most harrowing cases are those of people who are our acquaintances, or with whose faces we are familiar upon the street. If you know a man and can bow to him, indeed there is always less awkwardness in passing him ; but, unfortunately, when your eyes‘ are looking out ahead of you you espy your acquaintance a half block‘ off. The theory is that you how upon sight, and that the look of happy recognition upon your countenance is the spontaneous expression of your de- light at beholdin'g him. ' But the fact is that you see him several rods away, and have to brace yourself to advance and ‘ ‘ take his fire. " From the time of recognition until the sa- lute, you must look as if you were not dreaming of his approach, and many and funny are the ineflectual little artifices to which people resort to accomplish this. Some assume a laborious absent-mindedness, others inspect the opposite side of the street with much curiosity and intentness. All of these subterfuges are utterly ineffectual ; the simplest person is never deceived by them for an instant. l People living in the country have, in one sense, an advantage. There are so few on the village streets that persons meeting are always expected to speak. In a city, on the other hand, the rule is rather that people do not observe each other as they pass on a crowded sidewalk. There is always the difficulty then of knowing which theory your acquaintance is going to take. A and B are friends, and they meet on King street, A is perfectly content to he at a distance from B at that moment, and B is in the same state of mind towards A. But it does seem a little cold and heartless to come within ear- shot of each other, and not so much as nod. It happens then that neither A nor B knows what to do, and if they look furtively at each other there is an inevitably unpleasant re- sult in the shape of restraint, or possibly a little temporary hostility. ..... . .1 [From the Baltimore Sun.) Shortly before one o’clock the other day, about five pounds of nitro- lycerine exploded with terrific force at Lake ontebello. Mr. John E. ’Ischbach, the contractor for the work at the lake, is engaged in constructing a. tunnel by which a. small stream known as Tiffany’s run will be diverted from the bed of the lake. Nitro-glycerine, which is used in blasting, is prepared by Mr. Kalmbach at a frame house in the woods. a short distance from the tunnel. Drilling in the rock is ac- complished with steam, and when the work- men are ready for blasting, word is ‘ven to ‘ Mr. Stolberg, foreman of the nitro-g ycerine factory, and he prepares the cartridges, 1 charged with fulminatlng powder and provid- ed with fuses, ready for use, and sends them by an assistant to the points where they are wanted. At the time stated a young man was despatched from the factory with about five pounds of nitro-glyeerine cartridges in a bucket packed with corn meal to prevent con- cussion. The man was smoking a pi )e, and the wind was blowing as he made is way over the hills toward the tunnel works. It is thought that a, spark from the ipe was ~blown into the bucket and ignite a fuse. When between the west end of the tunnel and shaft No. l, the man saw smoke issuin from the cartridges, and becomingly alarmed he made no effort to tear out the fuse, but throwing down his bucket ran for life. The fire in a short time reached the fulminating powder, which goin off, caused the concus- sion that exploded t e Whole mass of nitro- glycerine. The locality is rather s arsely settled, and no damage was reported yond There ought to be no hostility, for the very persons with whom our meeting is apt to be awkward for those for whom we have a. liking. Persons whom we do not like, or who are in- different to us, we can pass without restraint. But those whom we respect and wish to be on good terms with, we are anxious to con- ciliate, as far as me, be, without sacrificing dignity. The result of our anxiety is often awkwardness. Kindness and a too great civ- ilization, one might almost say, are in part the source of this excessive sensitiveness. \Vhen' we think of a highwayman any then of a man so gentle that it hurts him to pass an ac uaintance without leaving upon his mind t e pleasantest impression, we say how very difierent human beings may be under difi'erent circumstances, the bréakin of a fevaanes of ‘ lass in hBuses a considerab e distanw 08’, an a shaking up of things generally. The country never possessed so many beautiful marriageable young women as it does at the present time. And why do we not have more marriages? W'e answer, be- cause marriage for love is the exception and not the rule. The young people of this a. e have gone fashion and money mad. If the dandy bank clerk who pays one half of his income for board and the other half for clothes cannot improve his condition he will not marry. The shop 'rl who earns good wages and cannot be gistinguished by her dress from the banker’s daughter certainly will not plunge into matrimony unless she can better her condition in life. If a man is fortunate enough to possess money, it mat- ters not how old or ugly he may be, hun~ dreds of intelligent, handsome young women can be found only too willing to become his wife. Love is an after consideration. They marry to be supported and dressed extrava- gantly. _ How often gig we hear the remark, ire not satisfied to be darlings. Theyi’ill persist in loving' other men after they are married. » - It cannot be denied that a great number of the unmarried mentare adventurers look- ing for wives who can keep themwithout working for a living. The peace and con- tentment of a hap y home is not taken into consideration. They are willing to sufl‘er a. hell upon earth if they can be kept in idle- ness. If our young people do not abandon this extravagance 0 dress and greed for money our country will be filled with old bachelors and old maids. “'e must have more genuine courtships and marriages to have prosperity and happiness in this world. Too many marry for money only to be dis- appointed and unhappy the rest of their lives. 7‘ Bet'ter lmome an old man’s dalflipg flan it poor man’gslavp.” _ A198 {too maul of they} The true art of livin easily as to money is to pitch your scale 0 expenditure 8. degree below your actual means. Money in itself never yet made a man happy, and never will ‘; as a rule, the more a man has the more he craves. If it satisfies one class of desires it is apt to create more in another direction. A little general economy may enhance the enjoyment of life. Let yourself feel a want before you provide for one. Somebody ad- vises people not to put their trust in money, but to put their money in trust, and a good plan it Is to do so. u . -. Cold as a servant is excellent and neces- sary, but as a master it is a fearful tyrant. \Vhen you are undecided which of two courses to choose, take the cheaper. This rule will not only save much money, but also much indecision. Remember that what a thing costs you is no real criterion of its ac- tual value. Money when rightly used is health, liberty, and strength ; but not one in a hundred know how to use it. The fact is, few people take care of their money until they get generally to the end of it ; it is the some with their time. By doing good with money we make the best use of it.
