One of Natures Wonders, — The Bottom
less Pit in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky is
suspected by many to run through the whole
Diamiter of the earth. The branch terminates
in it, and the explorer suddenly finds himself
brought upon its brink, standing upon a project
ing platform, surrounded on three sides by dark
ness and terror, a gulf on the right and a gulf
on the left, and before him what seems an inter
miuable void. He looks aloft; but no eye has
yet reached the top of the great overarching
dome ; nothing is there seen but the flashing
of the water dropping from above, smiling as
it hoots by in the unwonted gleam of the lamp.
He looks below, and nothing' there meets his
glance save darkness as thick as lampblack,
and he hears a wild, mournful melody of water,
the waling of the brook for the green and sunny
•channel left in the upper world never more to
be revisited. Down goes a rock, tumbled over
the cliff by the guide, who is of the opinion that
folks conic here to see and hear, not to muse
and be melancholy. There it goes—crash !it
has reached the bottom No—hark, it strikes
again ; once m&rc and again, still falling. Will
I ever stop ? One's hair begins to bristle as
he hears the sound repeated, growing less and
less, until the ear can follow it no longer. Cer
tainly if the pit of Frederick shall be eleven
thousand feet deep, the Bottomless Pit of the
Mammoth Cave must be its equal.

Activity or the Slave Trade.— We learn
By conversation with a gentleman lately return
ed from the coast of Africa, that while near the
mouth of the Congo, he learned from good au
thority that there were 30 vessels, principally
Portuguese, or sailing under that character,
•along the creeks of that river waiting human
•cargoes. Sheltered by the thick growth which
abounds there, these pirates upon humanity are
safe from observation by vessels of war outside;
they have confederates upon the lookout near
the mouth of the river to warn of the vicinity
•of national vessels, and when the is
•clear they select a dark night and a fair wind
:*md escape clear of the land. It is said the
English Government have a steamer on the
coast, and that a certain Yankee Captain with
a fast brig amuses himself in sailing round her
upon a wind ; that what is wanted is an Amer
ican steamerj capable of sailing fourteen miles
an hour ; with such a vessel our informant
agrees to pay for every slave which Portuguese
or Yankees can steal from that part of the
coast.— N. Y. Tunes.
Thi: Market for Brandy.— A letter from
Cognac, France, bv the Persia, says :
“The quantity of brandy made will prove less
than was anticipated. There is no price fixed
for that quality yet, but by the offers which
have been already made, we see that it cannot
command under S2l and for best on
board. As for the old qualities, we cannot
name a price for thefft, for they were so scarce
that we considered it useless to attempt buying
any, ami arc literally compelled to decline all
orders for those qualities. Good many, it is
true, are offered daily, but not one single one
of them deserves the name of Cognac Brandy,
and what is the most remarkable is, that all
that touch finds buyers. Shipments from this
side ought to be received for the future with a
very great caution by the importers.”
Shocking Fatality.— A private letter from
Morgan co., 111., informs the St. Louis News
of a most distressing casualty, or rather scenes
of casualties, which occurred about 3 miles
from Jacksonville, a few days ago, and to which
nearly a whole family fell victims. A small
girl, daughter of a widow named Ironmonger,
while feeding the pigs, having got into the pen
where they were confined for the purpose, was j
■attacked by a vicious sow, and torn so shock-1
ingly that she died ; a large hole was eaten in
her side by the savage beast, and she was oth
erwise mangled. The shock on the mother at
•the horrible spectacle, killed her too. The
next night a camphene lamp exploded acci
dentally in the house, killing one child instant
ly, and so severely injuring another that it is
not expected to survive.
A Little Boy's Prayet.— A little boy after
saying nightly the prayers which had been
taught him, was quite tenacious of what he
called praying his own way.—He had a large
number of brothers and sisters, whose needs
and peculiarities he sometimes made the subject
of his petitions. On one occasion, at commence
ing this exercise,he was overcome with sleep.
“Wrestling with his stupor, he said :
“Oh, Lord, bless Elizabeth, and make her
better than she is.”
His head fell back on his pillow, but soon
rousing, he murmured drowsily, ‘‘Bless Henry,
too,” It was in vain ; the tongue refused its
•office— so he added, indistinctly :
“Oh, Lord, I can’t, there are many of ’em,”
and he sank into the deep slumber of child
hood.
At another time, while conducting this exer
cise in a more wakeful manner, he said :
“Lord, please to bless farther and give him
anew heart Be so kiud as to bless Mary, my
little sister, and give her anew heart. Oh
Lord, bless mother, but you need not give her
anew heart, for she could not have any better
one than she’s got, and I don’t see how she’d
go to work to be any better woman than she
Is now.”
Striking; Scene at a Gaming Table, — Asa
company of fast young men were busy over a
card table, a few evenings since, a singular
noise attracted their attention. It was of so
unusual a nature, that they immediately began
to look about for its cause. It was repeated
in another direction. Something more than
curiosity was excited, and the playing was sus
pended. Immediately one of the company
dropped into what the spiritualists call a trance
and procceeded to utter, as if from a deceased
father, a homily against gambling and its asso
ciate vices.
This was followed by an admonition purport-
Biorae from a deceased sister of one of
ipany, couched in such terms and uttcr
tb .su-H'b sisterly feeing, that the whole
vere irresistibly moved to tears. There
more card playing that night. None
of those present were believers in spiritual man
ifestations, and the scene was wholly unexpect
ed to all. Whether it was indeed spiritual, or
is capable of some other solution is a question.

Adding Insult to Injury. —The Wheeling

N O WHERE,
KNOW NOTHING,
Am Affecting Incident.
An affecting occurrence took place some
time ago in a seaboard town in England. Six
lutie children got into a boat, on the beach,
and a mischevous boy shoved it off. The boat
di if ted away to sea before the children were
missing. Terrible was the agony of the moth
ers when they knew it. A number of men
went oft in all directions, every boat was on
thelookout until tar in the night. Daylight re
turned, and still there were no tidings from the
helpless children; the day wore away, and still
nothing was heard from them—-they were ei
ther lost in the wide expanse of the ocean, or
buried in its unfathomable depths. A Ply
mouth fisherman, fishing early next morning,
discovered something- floating in the distance,
lie bore down to it, and discovered it to be a
boat, and in the bottom six children, all hud
dled together like a nest of birds, fast asleep
God having mercifully given them that blessed
solace after a day of terror and despair. lie
took them aboard, and feasted them with bread
and cheese, and gladdened their despairing lit
tle hearts with the promise of taking them
home. Between iliree and four in the after
noon, the fisherman was seen in the offing, the
boat astern. All eyes were turned eagerly to
wards him - The best spy-glass in town” was
rubedagain aad again, and at last they could
fairly see that it was “the identical boat. The
news flew through the town—the mothers came
frantic to the beach, for there were no children ’
discerned in the boat; none to be seen in the
sloop. Intense was the agony of suspense, and
all alike shared it with the parents At last
the boat came in, and the word went round—
“ They are all safe,” and many a stout hearted
man burst into tears, women shrieked for joy,
and became almost frantic with their insup
portable happiness. It was indeed a memora
ble day; and a prayer, eloquent for its rough
sincerity, was offered up to Almighty God,
who, in his infinite mercy, had spared those in
nocent children from the perils and terrors of
the sea during that fearful night. Five of
these children were under five years of age, and
the sixth but nine years old.
Let me Pi ay First.
Avery intelligent little girl was passing
quietly through the streets of a certain town a
short time since, when she came to a spot where
several idle boys were amusing themselves by
the very dangerous practice of throwing stones.
Not observing her, one of the boys, by accident
threw a stone towards her, and struck a cruel
blow in the eye.
She was carried home in great agony. The
surgeon was sent for, and a very painful oper
ation was declared necessary. When the time
came, the surgeon lu.d takeiuout his instruments,
she lay in her father’s arms and he asked her if
she was ready.
‘No farther not yet,’ she replied.
‘What do you wish to wait for my child?’
‘I want to kneel in your lap, and pray to
Jesus first,’ she answered. And then kneeling,
she prayed a few minutes, and afterwards sub
mitted to the operation with the patience of a
woman.
II ow beautiful this little girl appears, under
these circumstances ! Surely Jesus heard the
prayer made in that hour: and he will love eve
ry child that calls upon His name. Let every
boy and girl learn to pray; and let idle boys be
careful how they throw stones. — [Ex.

He is active and eneigetic, often so far as to go beyond
his strength He is frank and open-hearted, and possesses
an extremely hopeful disposition. He sets his standard
high, and in justice I must say, he strives nobly to come up
to it. As you would infer from the above, he is a hard
working man in School—his whole soul is in his work. lie
has a happy faculty for waking up and securing the attention
of his Pupils. 1 never knew an instance of a scholar who
