The sun, which has lmng all day Iik a C'ppqr po'ig upon a bra-a ceiling, is now inercifn ly disappearing. Tin mountains of Lower California shine in bis last-fading rays like “the golden bills of heaven,’' while one little hum mock of an isinnd, long and high ami narrow, rises out of the sea like the grave-mound of some ocean god. For onoe the water is smooth ; noth in; breaks its silliness but the steamer's trail, anti the seagulls now and then brushing its surface. Far, far away— fur os the eye cau reach—is 10‘hing Ini' ihe siiine expanse of deep blue waters, broken onlv by those yellow hills, now fast vanishing into distance and night Overhead, onlv another and wiilei expause, still “deeply, darkly, lieauii fully blue,” and lieliiud a cloud the new moon just tiegiuuing to look forth upon the Isnsb-rons woil 1 lielow. Prigsby, from L mdon, explains 11 a gu]nng audience how the scenery now before fliem sutlers from comparison with that of the Rhine. 8am Boland, of Sun Francisco, carelessly replies to an inqniri r that lie is going proqiectiii!! for gold in Guatemala, acknowledges it to be a “ pretty risky business ” udin t» tlie country to lie full of road ageuis and bushwhackers, but “ reckoua he'll pull through.” Meantime Hetty and Deb, seeing the Captain bad a story in reserve, settled themselves to hear it. “ Didn't I toll Volt how my first offi oer got married? No? Well, nobody e..u. . > boon sinker'll his wite ue.s , ,i. he c* .irted her. I'll just tell yi u a. shout It if you like. “ W .ll, you sec, I haven’t alway. b -ei Cap'in of a first-class ste.inn r—no. siren! I run away to s.a when I was iL years rl l, and I've worked my way fiom the lsit'om of the ladder. Well, wins I was 3J, I was Captain of a large sail ing vtssel that was in the bouili Ameri can trmle. “ I sailed from the port of Callao, San F.a.icx.-o being my destination. Mi second officer was an Englishman, hut my first was an American, ouly l wool three years younger tliun I—a good looking yoiiDg fellow as ever I saw, tall and straight and handsome, with eyes like blue china. He was a right good fellow, too; brave and honest, but frisky as a kitten aud up to all sorts of larks. “ Well, we crept up the coast, stop ping at every ninth door, os onr orders obliged ua to do, taking in all sorts of tliiugs, all booked for Sau Francisco. Finally we enmo to Son Jose de Guate mala—that lies ninety milea inland— and there we hove to and waited for a chance to go ashore. “Did yon ever hear of the surf on that coast, ladies? No? Well, it often rolls fifteen or twenty feet high, and a good p.u t of the time no boat can live in it. 8orry we re not going to stop this trip or yon might see it. You see, there's really no harbor—nothing but an op-si roadstead—and, except in the Bay of Fuudr, this place shows the highest snd lowest ti le in the world The peo pie hero tried to tmild a breakwater out is'voml the i urf, but it breaks over it half the fim >, and when it doesn’t it knocks it to pieces. 8 nnatimes vessels have to ride at anchor for a week before they can put a Is at ashore. tim'd that a ship at anchor, not far off, was making signals of distress, and that a boat was putting off in onr dir. ction. Of course, we were anchored far out lie* yond tiie rn f, and it was comparatively easy for the Unit to reach us ; bo it was soon alongside, and one of the men came np the ship's aide and told me « hat was wonted. “ It appears that the ship was a oof fee ship from Son Francisco, and had come to San Jose for a cargo. It was only half loaded when one of their hosts capsized in the surf, drowning the Captain and first officer. The second officer was very low with a fever, and tlier had nohnd v to navigate the vessel; bo they’d bad to wait in port till some other ship came along and conld lend ’em an officer or somebody who under stood navigation. “Well, I called up my first officer, and pnt him aboard the coffee ship, snd in a ’ ■ or two we lioth sailed. Wo were just the same ground—or ', ss the two vessels were l each other in sight We'd ts-en out ten L.in American waters L a sudden the ship as to stop.

If you and she want to be married, why don't yon wait till you get ashore ? ’ '• Ton see, ladies, we talked out free before her, for she couldn't understand a woid of English. “ ‘ If we wait till then,’ said he, ‘ you and III l>e going to her funeral instead of her wedding. We've got to be mir ried, and right away, and yon have got to marry u-.’ “ You see again, ladies, we were »ery great frierds outside the ship, and when we were alone together we dropped all ceremony. “ ‘ What in thunder are you in such a hurry for?’ said I. ’Why can’t you wait till you’re ashore ? Where are the lady's friends ?’ ”' Her stepfather's aboard my ship,’ he said. “ ‘ I thought so,’ said I; ' and I won’t have anything to do with it’ 11 He just turned and winked me ' out of the tail of his eye,’ and then I remem bered, in a moment of misplaced coni! dence, I had told him of some little cir cumstances in regard to my own mar riage. “ ‘ Hem! * mud he, grinning like a monkey, * I think they’re sometimes jna tillable.

L told him I wouldn't have any such doing aboard my ship, and he slapped my face. So I put lum in irons, and came oC to you.’ 11 Well, Indies, I just went over te the “ofa where the little girl was rolling her big black eyes at us, and wondering what in thunder we were saying. •“How old are you, my dear?’ I asked in Spanish. “ You see, I’d been married more’n two years, aud I thought I'd a sorter right to be paternal. “ 'Eighteen, Senor Captain,’ said she, in the softest voice in the world. “Said I: ‘Do you love this young man and want to marry him? You needn’t if you don't, because I’ll see to it your stepfather doesn’t bother yon anymore.’ ■‘ I didn't dare look around at Jack, for I knew he’d lie 1.Hiking blucker’n thun der at me jnst then. And, indeed, he took a step toward ns ; hut I made him keep off till sheahould have answered for herself. “ Well, she blushed very prettily, and hesitated for a second, then answered very sweetly that, if the Senor Captain didn't mind trouble, she should marry the senor first officer. That the senor first officer hail heen her only friend : that, although she had taken many voy ages and seen many people, she had never before found any one who cared to interfere in her behalf; tha, she felt very grateful to the senor first officer, and had now become attached to him, and, with the Senor Captain’s permis sion, would gladly become his wife. ‘ As she said this, Jack got out of sight behind the door, pnt his thumb to his nose, and twirled liis fingers at me in the most disrespectful manner. I had a great mind to pnt him in irons for mutiny -but no matter. “Of course there was nothing to be done except marry them : she was ovei 18, aud at Bea the Captain's as good as a parson, you know. “So I called np the passengers and officers ; and the ladies dressed her np iu their own finery, and we had a wedding in very short order. Alter that the ship’s surgeon prescribed an antidote for the bed-bug poison. “The second officer went over and took command of the coffee ship in Jack’s place, and sent back Dolores’ trunk aud clothing. At first I thought we couldn't get along without him, for Jack was so d.-eplv in love with his little sea-sick girl I thought lie’d be of no manner of nse. But we bad good weath er most of the time, and Jack did his duty like a man. “ But it was real tonching to see him go to his wife’s cabin every day and bring her on deck and fix her comforta bly on a bed the steward made for her under an awning. Aud there be’.l nnrse her and care for her just os if lie’d been a sitter of chanty. Yon might have seen then, Miss Hetty, how a sailor con love a woman I " Well, she soon got better and stron ger. Jack and the doctor fixed her np between them, and a healthier, livelier, happier little woman never set foot in San Francisco. Jack took her right to his marr ed sister, and there she stayed between voyages till alie had a lot of children, aud her husband bought her a house of her own. “ What abont the coffee ship? Oh, that made |iort a day before nv, and the old doctor had ns all arrested the mo ment we tonched land. So we were all hauled up ia ronrt, and Jack had it out with his step-futher-in-law. “ I think the court was rather against ns first, hut the bed-hug poison and tile slap in the face did the business, and turned everything in our favor, He was afterward declared to lie a lunatic, and turned over to his brother’s keep tug. “ • What’s beoome of Jack T Why, he sailed with me fur several years os first officer; now he's Captain to the com panion steamer to this. That good looking young fellow that’s been mak ing eves st yon. Miss Hetty, is his son ; slid I dure say he agrees with his father that sea-siekueaa makes precions little difference when a man’s in love.” The moon ia quite np now, flooding the sea with silver. Between ns and the shining mirror interposes the head of young Jack, showing in fine, clear-cnt silhouette. What wonder that Hetty baa to put severe strain upon her eyes tnst they shall not wander in tnat direc tion? The Captain saunters away to do the agreeable to other passengers, while Deb strays down to the deck to listen, at a little closer quarters, to the tinkle of a guitar and to a bolt voice humming a# Spanish love song. ’ As she strolls back she finds a mascu line form nsnrping her place, and peep ing under Hetty’s downcast lids are a pair of earnest sailor eyes, whose dawn ing love and hope no sea can fright at quell.

The vast catacombs by which a large portion of the city of Paris ore under mined were only known by popular tradition until the year 1774, when some alarming accidents aroused the attention of the Government. The old quarries were then surveyed and plans of tiiem taken, and the result was the frightful discovery that the churches, palaces and most of the southern part of Paris was undet mined, and in great danger of sink ing into the pit below them. A special commission was appointed, and on the very day it met it house in one of the streets sunk ninety-one feet below the level of its court-yard. The pillars which bad been left by the quammen, in their blind operations, without any regularity, were in many places too weak for the enormous weight above, nnd in most places had themselves been under mined, or perhaps original y stood upon ground which had previously been hol lowed. The aqueduct of Arcueil passed over this treacherous ground; it had al ready suffered some shocks, and, if the qnarries hod continued to lie neglected, an accident must, sooner or later, have happened to this watercourse, which would have cut off its supply from the fountains of Paris, and have filled tne excavations with water. Repairs were forthwith commenced and promptly completed, and a portion of the old qnarries was devoted to receive the Isiues-of the dead. This took place in April, 1786; the remains of the dead were removed at night in funeral cars, covered with a pall, and followed by priests chanting the service of the dead. When they reached the catacombs (lie 1 tones were sbot down a well, and the rattling and echoing which they made in their fall were as impiessive as auy sound ever heard by human cars. Tims the limestone qnarries that had supplied the materials for building the sujierb monuments, palaces and houses of Paris nccamo huge charnel-houses, which they >iow remain. Calculations differ as to the number of bones collected in the .-atacombs, bat it is certain that they ■ontain the remains of at least 3,000,006 of Human beings. — Harper's Young itooie. A Chicago Kjrear Story. Dttviil Swing savs that a Chicago girl, who married a profane hn*band, invited her four bridesmaids to dinner. The fire refined and lieautifnl women sat down at the table with the habitual swearer, but all failed to go as merry as a mart iage bell. The wife got mad and blanked the roast l>eef, one of the bridesmaids blank blanked the gravy, and a third blanked blanked the servant to blank for her awkwardness. Over the dess< rt the profanity became fast and furious, and the amazed husband, startled at the ut ter incongruity and indecency of the 1 in (mage used, rested his head upon the table and wept with remorse to think that he had ever let an oath cross his lips. This is a very nice story ; but is David Swing sure that he stilt retssis the glittering hatchet of his boyhood? Opium Drunkard*. The pnblio were shocked, not long since, by the account of the death of a ladv, the daughter of one of the most eminent professional men in the country, from an overdose of mofphiue. The wretched story was published all over the country. There is no impropriety, therefore, in our pointing the young girls who are our readers to its me suing. The woman was youug and beautiful She bad high culture, and was by nature gentle, and lovable. A few years ago she began to take opium for some dis ease, sud soon became its victim. All her struggles against it were in vain. At an age when she should have been in the full vigor of her womanhood, a happy and retired wife and mother, she died alone, and her downfall oud dis grace were blazoned in every city of the Union. Opium drunkenness is said to be on the increase iu this country, aud it pre vails largely among women. Very few matrons or young ladies, when suffering from weakness or nervous disorders, would resort to brandy or whisky. But a dose of laudanum, or some other anodyne, they regard as harmless. Physicians too, heedlessly prescribe something which they vaguely call “drops” to an overwoiked mother, or young girl exhansted by incessant danc ing and flirting, when the proper rem edies would be a few weeks' rest from latter and care, and a more wholesome, rational life. American women are, as mle, en ergetic, The busy housekeeper and the eager belle, find resort to a seemingly innocent little black bottle, when they are “ran down,” much easier than the giving up of work, or the sacrifice ol balls aud germans. Before they are con scious of their danger, they are victims to the most hopuless and terrible of ap petites—they are opium drunkards. It is probable that no one who haa ever become addicted to this habit lias been able to conquer it De Quincy wrote a book that for dramutio horror and pathos, has not its like iu literature, to prove that it was possible to rise “out of the deep;” but he sank again, helpless and hopeless. The liest monograph on the opium habit written iu America, was the work of a brilliant man of letters who believed himself cured, yet died its victim. Most of onr readers can recall at least one opium druuknrd whom they have known. The livid, corpse-like skin, the glassy eye, the vague air of terror, are unmis takable. They are signs that the night mare, life iu death, bus seized its prey, and is dragging it snrely down to the grave.—Youth’t Companion. The Sea of Galilee Biding by the foot of Hattin, over the place where, 700 years ago, Saladin an nihilated the Crnsaders’ power in Pales tine, we at length reached a ridge where we looked out on the distant hills of Boshan, and fur below ns on a dark bine pear or liarp-Bliaped sheet of water, ly ing snugly tn a deep iuclosure of high brown hills. Though less lhau tliirteeu miles long and seven miles broad, yet, measur>d by the events it has witnessed, it is a kind of Pacific ocean. It was the Sea of Galilee. As we moved over the long way down ward to its level—350 feet below the Mediterranean sea—we had time to fix and grasp its whole aspect and sur round.ngs. It lacks 1 silliness of outline, for its hills slope gradually bock from the shore, or leave a narrow plain, as at Gennesaret and Buthia. But the lights and shadows lie sweetly on the hillsides j at night and morning; the norihem end is broken into pleasant little bays, and Hermon looms grandly up beyond, far off, yet seemingly near. The whole as pect of the lake is one that suggests the tbongU n&S fcUo look of beautiful homes, it was still a long rido to the lake. The j region we were passing, once brimful ol life and activity, was utterly forsakeD now. The entire lake lay spread before us, and nearly the whole of its coast line, along or near which once lay ten uities of Tariehen, Tiherias, Hippo, Ga rnala, Gergesa, Bethsaida, Cuorazin, Ca pernaum, Magdala and Beth Arbel. Ot these cities, Tiberias once had its Senate of 600; Gain ala was able to resist and defeat Vespasian at the head of three legioDS, and when captured by Vespa sian and Titus it lost 400 in the tight, and 6,000 who hnrled themselves, oi were pushed down the precipices; while Taricliea, according to Josephus, was able to furnish 10,600 for slaughter in a sea light with the Homans, 1,200 slain in cold blood in the stadium, 6,000 cap tive youth to dig for Nero in the isth mus, and 30,000 to be sold into slavery. The only existing representatives of this strength and activity were the little clus ter of huls called Medjel (Magadala)and the shrunken Tiberias, with its 2,000 in habitants. From our path not a ves tige of the other placeB could be dis cerned. It was near sunset when we en tered Tiberias. We followed the road through the gate, but could easily have passed through the rents in the walls. The now squalid city, mentioned but once in the New Testament, has been the chief home of Jewish learaiug since the destruction of Jerusalem, Here the Jerusalem Talmnd was o unpleted, and here is now what may be called the pres cut theological school of the Jews.— /Vo/. BariUtU The Nature of an Oath. Early in the rebellion, when the Federal forces were stationed at Beau fort, S. C., there was an old darkey by the name of Lige Jackson, who, deserted by his master, was left to take care of himself as best he might, Lige was considered a ohattel of weak intellect, and moreover ho was exceedingly awk ward in his attempts to play the role of a house servant. Hesmasliedand destroyed pretty nearly everything he laid his hands upon, and having waited upon nearly every officer at the jiost, each in turn, after giving him the benefit of a good cursing for his stupidity, turned him adrift It happened that Lige was a witness in a case that came before a court martial, and being called np to give his testimony, was objected to on the part of the de fendant, who stated that he didn’t be lieve the negro was of sound mind. “Stand up, Lige,” said the court “Do you understand the nature of an oath?” Lige scratched his wool for a moment, and then turning up the whites of his eyes, replied: “Look a yeare, marse; dis nigger has waited on ’liont haf de ossifers since dey fns cum to dis place, and if he don't understand de uatnre of an oaf by dis time, den dares no wnrtne is cussing.” The oourt considered Lige a competent witness. Age Cannot Wither Them. It is with alarm that we notice that, as we leuve our country's birthday farther and farther Itehind ns, the negro of longeval proclivities, shows a s. ftled determination to bridge the ever-widen ing span of years. The aged African, whilom content with a round hundred, now thinks nothing of adding ton of twenty years thereto. We hud looked forward to the time when the entire race of nurses and coachmen to the father of his country should become extinct Tain hope! Age cannot wither them, though custom has somewhat staled their infinite variety. Verily, the Wash ington nurse and c jachman shall flourish in immortal youth, unhurt amidst the war of elements, the weeks of mutter and the crush of worlds.—ilotUm Trcuucrift, Cleanliness and Health. The alarming spread of diphtheria and kindred diseases is a warniug to the people of the United States, of which tuey cannot long neglect to take heed. In many cities and towns diphtheiia now exists almost to the extent of be coming epidemic, while there are few sections of the country entirely exempt from its ravages. It is behoved that the first cause of the disease is the preparation of the sys tem by the presence of impure air for the germs of the disease to take effect, while these germs are believed to be multiplied by this impure air. The beet houses of the cities, where there is a tide flow, are liable to the disease, be cause the sewer connections are in the house, and cannot easily be so secure but that the gits is forced by the bellows of the tide bach into them. This is also ihe case with dwellings in cities where high water Alls the sewers, or into which from other causes the sewer gas escapes. . ,****$ Upon the farm and m villages tjy ~s eate is propagated by the impfire air from cesspools and other sources. The gems of the disease are not des royed by the frost as with those of yellow fever, and the only safety is in a com plete removal of all imparities lrom the vicinity of the dwellings, and not only this but the filth must be entirely de odorized and rendered innocuous. In the cities the sewer may be mode a complete carriage way to a place of safe ty.

Experiment with • Mirror. Some of you will remember, in the years agone, the store of Sam Curtis, on Washington street, Boston, where, in his palmy days, he manufactured the best frames, and put up the largest mirrors to lie found in the City. Well, once upon a time a curious discussion arose in that store. A large French-plate u i ror had been set up on exhibition in ihe great swell-front window, its rnirror surfaee toward tae street; and the ques tion was: Would the most men or the uio.-t women stop and look into that mirror in passing ? Most of us, naturally, declared, with out hesitation, iu favor of the women. We lielieved six women to one man would stop and take a look at the bright ly-reflecting surface, as it was soset that it would reflect the full length of a hu man figure upon the sidewalk. At length, two of our number agreed to fake a favorable stand for observation, and make a strict count; and the result, which may be relied upon, somewhat surprised iis. Here it is: They kept their post just one hour. During that time they counted 876 men who went by the store on that side; and all stive two glanced at the mirror suffi ciently to gain a clear view of them selves, most of them stopping for a longer or shorter perioel. Of the two who uid not stop, one had a huge bundle on the shoulder next to the window, and could not look iu that direction; while ihe other was being led by a boy—evi dently a blind man. During that same hour there were 692 women who passed the window, not one of whom stopped, and only three of whom even glunced at the mirror. Each and every one of the dear creatures was entirely occupied in studying the dresses of ether women! That was the report of our watchers; and they were both married men, and -.truiUfu.1, and admirers of ths gantlqr sex.—Xew York Ledger. A Hammock’s Wild Way. [From the Cleveland Herald.] An Illinois exchange lccls cul.ed to thus lcliver itself: “ His hammock swung loose it the sport of the wind,” and tumbled the lion. J. S. Irwin on his head, and, but foi llic application of St. Jacobs Oil, lie linglii have gone “ where the woodbine twinctfi.” Even so, dear Beacon, as many others have gone, who failing to use the Great German Ueinedy in time, for their rheumatism and slier dangerous diseases, “have paid the debt of Nature.” Hub is our motto. What Not to Kill. The French Minister of Finance has done a good deed iu causing a placard to be posted which it would be wise for cit izens of all countries to have before theil eyes. It tells farmers, sportsmen and laiys and others w‘-at creatures—hereto fore by a multitude of ignorant people considered to be pests to be abated—not to kill, as follows: Hedge-hog—Lives mostly on mice, small rodents, slugs and grabs—animals hurtful to agriculture. Don’t kill the hedge-hog. Toad—Farm assistant; he destroys from 20 to 30 insects per hour. Don’t kill the toad. Mole—It is continually destroying grubs, larvte, palmer worms and insects injurious to agriculture. No trace ol vegetation is found in its stomach. Don’t kill the mole. Birds—Each department loses several millions annually through insects. Birds are the only enemy able to con tend ngaiust them vigorously. They are the great caterpillar-killers and ag ricultural assistants. Children, don’t disturb their nests. Lady-bird—Never destroy, for they are the best friends of farmers and hor ticulturists, and their presence upoi. aphis-ridden plants is beneficial. WHAT WE HATE. [From Ihe fit. Paul Fluueer-Press,] We hate growling, no matter the source or cause, and recommend heicwith the remedy. Use St. Jacobs Oil and laugh at pain. It will do the work every lime. flnranlay a Memory. Ben Jonson won from liis admiring contemporaries the epithet of “rare”— chiefly, if I remember aright, from Lie powers of memory. But Ben’s power* were small compared with these of Ma caulay, who recited the greater part oi the Lay of the Last Minstrel after read ing it for the first time. He ased to say, and lie was by no means a boastf.il man, that if by any chance, all the existing copies of Milton were to be destroyed, he thonght he conld replace the first six books of Paradise Lost from memory. “ He seemed,” said his friend Milman, “to have read everything; and to remem l>er all that he had read. ” I have seen a letter of the late Sir William Stirling Maxwell to a friend, entreating him tc ask “Mr. Macaulay, who knows every thing'’ for some piece of information. “ Macaulay,” said Sydney Smith,“ can yon recite the list of Popes?” “ No,” confessed Macanlay, “I get confused with the Johns audGregories." “ Well,” said Hallam, who was pres ent, “can you manage the Archbishops of Canterbury?” “The Archbishops of Canterbury!" was the disdainful reply, “any fool can recite his Archbishops of Canterbury backwards.” And he began, from Howlev bock tc Pole, when his hearers declared them selves satisfied.

A colored man by the name of Ike Simpson was seen standing on a street corner, leaning on an immense club. “ What’s yer doing dar, Ike ? ” asked Sam Smith, another darky. “ I’se out dock hunting,” responded Simpson. “ What sorter ducks ? ” “Wild ducks, ob course." “ And spoein’ wild ducks was to light about heah, what would you kill ’em wid?” “ Wid dis here club," said Ike, swing ling it over his head in a most alarming manner. “Well, yon is de biggest fool on Gal veston island, sure," said Sam Smith. “ Not much I ain’t. I’se gwine to rake in dead oodles of wild ducks right heaU on dis corner. I'll bet you a foah-dollar hat I captures moah den a dozen wild ducks on dis heah comer wid dis heah short-range club,” and once more Ike swung the club to the great discomfort of Sam Smith, The bet was taken and now Ike sports a fine new hat. When asked how he managed to get the dncks, he explained: “ You knows dat old niggah Noyes, what libs down on de island? Well, he borrowed a new saddle wuff $10 from me bcfoah de wall, and he liain’t neber fetched it hack yit.
