Oh. Captain Narea wan a tailor bold
Of England's proud Navee,
And he sailed to the land of perpetual cold
That borders the Arctic sea.
“Hi’ll h easily beat those fallen" he aald,
*'That came from Aiuerikee.
And show the way to the Arctic Pole
To all that come alter me.'
Bo he sailed away to the frozen North,
And up Smith's sound weut he;
Till last he came to the end of hit rope
In latitude eighty-three,
• Hit's awtul cold hup *ers in the hice."
faUUI this Captain bold, said he—
“hut 1 ahouldn'tgo back since that feller, 'Ayes
Came nearly ae tar ae me.
“Hl’ll mark h<* latitude twenty back,
And aay a mistake made be,
And cad hie blasted Hopen Pule
My Palftocrretic Sea.
There’s more in a name than Beakcspare thought,
Though a poet grand was he.
And the R. G. 8. will a medal bestow
For my Paifiocrystio Sea,”
So he hauled his sheet and boro away
And quickly home came he.
With many a atory dark and dread
Of his Palvocrystic Sea.
And now It la left for aome Hall or Hayes
Whoever he may be,
To eaH with some little American ship
Through the Pslseocrystic Sea.

Lire In Lung Island.
Tho example of HuniinKton is hav
ing Its effect in other parts of Long
Island. Two gangs of boys, one rep
resenting Qreeupoiut uud the other
Williamsburg, have been fighting
wiLh stones anil lenives, for the pos
session of a bridge which joins those
suburbs. As these gangs are said to
comprise most of building black
guards of both places, a prospect
that they might exterminate each
other would have reconciled a de
cent community.anda police intrust
ed with judicial functions, to the
temporary iuuonvenieuce caused by
the closing of the bridge. But he
who cheiishes such a hope is ignor
aut of the nature of the hurnau boy.
The boy never gets killed. It is
the peaceful passenger or bystander
of mature years who gets kilted by
the boy and his killing is called ac
cidental, because the boy’s object is
not to kill anybody in particular, but
to do general and promiscuous de
struction. Murder, in the technical
sense, the boy rarely committs. He
is an elemental force, like an earth
quake or a can of nuro-glyceriae,
equally liable to explode ui>ou the
just and the unjust, and it is his
pride to bo looked upon as “tbeacts
of God and the public enemies,” for
the result of which no responsibility
can be enforced. It appears to be
conceded in the Eastern District
that his brick-bats have the right of
way over ordinary traffic, and the
bridge has been abandoned to them
by the police with no reasonable
ground for hope that tht-y will kill
any boys.
On Saturday night two gangs of
somewhat maturer ruffians carried
out an engagement, made some time
before, for a fight in one of the prin
cipal streets in Williamsburg. The
police no more thought of interfering
with them than with the boys of the
bridge. The result tended rather
more than that of the battle of the
bridge to justify the police and re
assure timid citizens, for one of the
combatiants was actually stabbed to
death, and Williamsburg is rid of
him. His murderer is iu temporary
seclusion, and will doubtless divert
his attention for a few days from
publicly murdering his colleagues to
committing unobtrusive burglaries.
There seems to be no chance of his
killing any more of his friends, and
we submit that one dead rufiiau does
not compensate t he Wiiliamsburgers
for the disturbance of a street fight
from which six or seven ruffians
emerged iu vigorous health.
The village of Huntington Is clear
ly at the bottom of all this. It has
been demonstrated mere that
an industrious and frugal young
man can rise to the position of a
leading citizen by applying tar and
feathers to his fellow-man prepara
tory to mutilating and’ murdering
him. Perseverance in this sort ol
well-doing might even make a man
President of the United Btates, for if
Huutington had been in Louisiana,
and J. Madison Wells bad been ou
the tar-and-featber party, the Kelsey
outrage would have oust, the Demo
cratic party at least 10,000 votes. In
Huntington, ttowever, a man secures
only bis respectability by helpiDg to
outrage and kill unpopular persons.
Tnese young Willimsbuigers are in
tbe way to become leading citizens,
but the successive steps to respecta
bility of tar, feathers, mutilation
and murder are not always at hand,
and besides they are too tedious for
the aspiring youth of Williamsburg,
who atm to be leading citizens at a
blow, and beigu with murder. As
Horace said, nobody cun become
highly respectable ail at once, but
still,if the murderer of Hertfelder will
move a few miles to Huutington,
when the police have stopped looking
for him, and present his claims as a
leading citizen, he will be secure of
a warm welcome and immunity from
prosecution, and stand an excellent
chance of becoming the first mayor
of Huntington.—A. Y. World.
An exciting Scene.
lam told by a gentleman who was
present during the discussion in private
session on the case that it was intensely
exciting. Now that is over, I suppos
there is no wrong done in telling of
something that occu'red. Thurman and
Abbott had the discussion on the Demo
cratic side —Morton and Garfield on the
part of the conspirators. The parties in
the heat of debate got somewhat beyond
parliamentary etiquette. The three
indecent old men of the Supreme Court
who not only refused to inquire into the
charge of fraud in the so-called Electoral
return, but enedavored to so frame the
decision as to cover in advance the Lou
isiana fraud, were told in rather plain
language that they were regarding neith
er law nor equity in their haste to aitf
their party. Judge Thurman said that
he had some knowledge of law and no
little experience in its administration, and
he had no hesitation in stigmatizing the
findiug proposed as simply monstrous.
Should Buch prevail, he said, there would
be no security in any relation of life call
ing lor legal interference. It removed all
barrier to wrong and destroyed the very
foundations of justice. If fraud does not
vitiate, fraud is the better policy and our
laws and Courts are utterly useless. —

Thousands of men breathe, move,
and live—pass oft the stage of life,
and are heard of no more. Why?
None are blest by them ; none could
point to them as a means of redemp
tion ; not a line they wrote, not a
word they spoke, could be recalled,
and so they perished; their light
went out in darkness, and they are
not remembered more than the in
sects of yesterday. Will you thus
live and die? O, man, live for some
thing; do good, and leave behind
you a monument of virtue that
storms of time can never destroy;
write your nanae by kindness, love,
and mercy, on the hearts of thou
sands you come in contact with year
by year, and you will never be for
gotten. No; your words, your deeds,
will be as legible on the hearts you
leave behind as the stars on the brow
of the evening. Good deeds shine as
brightly on the earth as the stars of
heaven. _

XANTHINI
Never fails to restore Gray Hair to its original o

Prepared by XANTHINE CO.. Richmond. 1
gold by Purcell, Ladd k Co.,Richmond, Va., and
druggists and country merchants. Price $1 per
bottle.
This incomparable preparation for the Hair is
commended to the public on its own merits.
It prevents the Hair from falling off, producing
a rapid and healthy growth ; eradicates scurf and
dandruff, and cures diseases of the scalp. Try it
and judge for yourself.
[From Rev. E. T. Baird, Sec’y of Publication of
Presbyterian Church South.)
Richmond. July 27,1874.
The Xanthine is the only hair dressing I have
ever used which has removed the dandruff from
the scalp and made my hair soft and pliable. It
has also restored my hair to its natural color; and
by occasionally using it as a hair dressing, I have
no doubt it will preserve the color.
E. T. BAIRD.
[From Rev. Mr. Cameron, Minister of Presbyte
rian Church South.)
Mossy Csxkx. Tenn, Aug. 22, 1876.
Xanthine Cos., Richmond, Va.:
I have used the Xanthine now for three years,
and have induced others to buy it, and have nev
er known it to fail in accomplishing all you
claim for it. It is an excellent tonic, a pleasant
dressing, removing and preventing dandruff and
all unpleasant itching, promoting and preserving
the natural growth and color of the hair, and ren
dering it glossy and pliable. I confidently,
cheerfully, knowingly recommend it.

The foUowlng la an extract from a description, published In the New York Tribune, by the wel
known agriculturist, Bolon Robin eon: ....
All tho termers were of tho "well to do” sort, and some of them, vho have turned their attention
to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. The noil Is loam, varying from sandy to clayey,
and surface gently undulating, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits ot peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole upland surtece, after it
has been exhausted of Its natural fertility.
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, iu an almost level position, and suitable
condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this side of the Western prairies. We found some
or the oldest farms apparently Just as profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a
hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a
marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in
the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient sheila, of the tertia
ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted
form, aud in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the termer desire* to
cultivate.
