[" ADVEATISING TERMS, ACH subsaquent (Nfortion, \u201cVor.XXX., Nxw Seniss.HARRY BLOUNT.BY PHILIP GILBERT HAMERTON.CHAPTER XxXV\u2014(Continued.) \u2018What a scene ted iteelf to Harry when he was thus suddenly brou ht from dreams to realities! Dark and wild realities indeed thoy were! The sail was fiappiug about and was already élit open by the violenos of the wind.* Wemuat gettheuhoet free!\u201d he shouted, and they did get it free, but once liberated from the cleat it wriggled out of their hands like a Live 6e! and was over the bulwark in an instant, whipping the water, and tying itself inte inextricable knots.As for the wail, it was now rent in several places and flap; about with a noise like pistol.shots.The \u201c Alaria\u201d was now going simply befure the wind, with her hesd to the wide Atlantic.\u201c \u2018We must got that sail down, if we can,\u201d said Greenfield, * and just scud for it with nothing but the storm jib.Cau you it down, Harry?I darcnt quit the tiller.\u201d Harry weut to the hulyerds and mensged to lower the gaff, but the sail gave him iu.finite trautle and knocked him about dsuger- ously ; at one time nearly pulling him overboard.At length he managed to get it all in on deck, but it was s0 torn aa to be of no use till it could bo mended, and he had neither time nor vkill to mend it.\u201cThere's nothing for us now,\u201d he said, \u201c but to gv wherever the wind pleases, andit's taking ue further and farther cut into the Atlantic Ocean.\u201d \"ll, we noedn\u2019t despair, The yacht is all right yet.See, rhe goes more pleasantly now! That jib seems to lift her more up, whereas the trymsil was driving her undor water.The big waves avem to alip from under us.I think we re aafer than we were.\u201d \u201cYes, but we're getting farther and farther out, and the waves get bigger and bigger!\u201d ¢ Calverley tuld me the east wind nevor lasts long on the west of Scotland, so we shall have & west wind very likely in a day or two, and then we can come back again, We'll rig up a vort of rquare-sail.Anything will do wit! a fuir wind.All I'm beginning to be afraid of is meeting with some vossel in the dark.Look at the sompaes.Don't you see the wind has changed itadirection ?It blows now very much more from the north, and we shall be driven right into the track of the American vessels, \u2018The luntern at the mast-hend doesn\u2019t quite satisfy me.It locks as if it wauted trimming.We neod a good light more than ever.\u201d Harry looked up at the lantern and saw that its light was petting dim.no he lowered it at once on the de-k.He took it into the cabin to trim it, and in trimming, extinguishad it.There was uo light in the cabin (a great mistake), and Harry could not find the matches, 60 he came on deck to light à emall caudie- lantern at the binnacle, « most fooliah thiag to do an the «equel will show.Before Greenfield had time to say \u201c don't,\u201d our hero had upened the binnacle to light his candle when A gust of wind extinguished both aud left them in total durkness, \u201c You eknuldu't have done that,\u201d Groen.field said, \u201c the inatrhes are in the cabin in a box on the shelf in the little cupboard.\u201d Harry went down immediately to seck for them and found the box, a large one, but ths only box of matches on hourd the ** Alaris.\u201d At the instant when he took it in his hand there came a terrific sea which swept clean over the deck and carried Greenfield ott his logs.He canght at something, which proved to be the mast, and clung to it for his lifs, without which he would bave gono overboard.The water rushed down the companion ladder in 6 heavy cascade and immediately flooded the floor of the cabin.The violence of the shock at the same time threw Harry off his balance and made him fall against the wainscot, when he instinctively opened both hands, and eve lucifer match they had on the Alaria™ ffl into the awill of salt-water about hia feet.The situation was now really critical, the waves bad grown to an awful aize, towering Like opaque black mountains behind the little yacht, and threateuing to enqulf her.Not = star was visible in the densely-clouded heaven, but lights of another kind began to be visible, sud these only added to the disquiet of our two young friends, They were the lanterns of ships at sea which were battling with the tempest in their own way, and able to oon.tend aginst it with the knowledge of experienced captains and the strength of sufficient crews.Ureenfield's heart sank within him ashe perceived thin new source of danger.\u201c We are approsching the track of the Aweri- can ships,\u201d he said, \u201c and we may possibly get run down as we have not à epark of light to rhow where we are.\u201d Nor wan this fear a groundless one.\u2018Che lighta grew more and more distinct, and at length the red and green lights of an approach ing steamer were visible in vivid color.It wae rcarcely posible to affect the movements of the ** Aluria\u201d\u201d with the rudder when she had no sail on ber buts storm-jib.It seemed as if out of that wide trackless ocean the steamer wanchooring exactly the very line which would Flacethe little ** Alaria\u201d precisely in her path.he lights grew more and more brillisnt aud shone like two baleful stars, «I wish those colored Lights were away,\u201d raid Greenfield, \u201c1 don\u2019t like them! \u2014still they grew and inorensed, until at length the sound of the paddles could be heard about the waves, and the steamer bore down directly upon the * Alaria,\u201d She was a huge Atlantic liner, before whose sharp, thin cutwuter, the sironsenet yacht in England would have gone dun like à fishing- boat.A hundred passengers were in her aplea- did _saloon, cot ably warmed, brilliantly lighted, thinking only of themselves, and tying to pars the time in amunment or conver.ration so far ns the motion of the ship would let them, hut never once imagining the pol.bility that rhe might send two fellow-crenturos to the lottom unseen, unheard, and ualament- «à! The men cn the look-out, however, with that keconess of sight in the gloom ; which sailors acquire by practice, had a vi fanoy that ho distinguished something, an a to the stesrsman, who, by a turn of the wheel, made tie ponderous nna of the vesnl deviate a littl from ita course, snd that little saved tbe * Alaris.\u201d Tho hue paddle clore to her, churning the sea into foam, the bubbling water Joft's whitened track, and that danger was over ! CRATER XXXVI-A NAEIING OX THE G3FAT pres, After the \u201c Alaria\u201d hud «senpad from the teamer, her crew fully realized the danger of being at aes in the night-time without alight; but about an hour afterwards rose a fragment of & moon behind the clouds, no that & gray light won diffused over the tumbling waves.This light waa merged very soon, and very imperveptitly, ito the other light of dawn, so that is wan daylight before our adventurers were clearly awaroofit.At length thaalouis were canght hure and there hy a tings of redûbh ycllow amongst the roving slate- cclor, and glimpses of blue ky began to be visible at intervals, Beverat largo ships were in eight, Lut at great distances; however, it won cary to see with the glam that they were sailing under very litle canvaa.1t in dreary at ail times to be on the deck of a vereel betwern two and threa o'clock in the morning, when the night haa Leen stormy, and thesby lastill charged with the jos 1 clonds of tempest ; but Ît wa especially du for Rluunt and Greenfiel.t, who were siill soudding with nothing but their atorm-jib, oxnotly in the opprite direction to thet which the: would have willingly followed, and who h already begnn 10 feel the physical hardship of their position.Aa there was no Ares in the galley of the *Alarfa,\u2019 nor any practical means of Hgbting ane, the boys could neithre warm themredvre nor prepare anything warm for breakfast, and althcagh they were in the summer holidayr, a night of wet.and exposure had left theta phyaioally very chilly and miserable, \u2018They did not lone ceurags, however, but hoist: ed a signal of distrems, iu the hope that somes ship-captain might observe it with hin telescope, and boar dawn tow :riathem.The waves were till sxtivmely high, yet the\u201c Afarin rore nd fell Witisthem likes sen bird thet wite upon the water, sud a the vint dll not in- cresee, but shused signs of abating, \u20acor it now page kiy, 1g, first insertions TRI-WEEKLY lulled itself at intervals, the two boys began to hope that the woret of thelr perils was over, though it waa still a very serious matter to be out on fhe Atlantis Ocean, They went ou in this way till it was nearly noon, getting as à breakfast as they could manage er circumstances, but feeling very tired and sleepy, so that the world waters seemed y real to them, aud they felt like people ina dream.A little before noun, however, Harry being at the helm at this time, Greenfield went below, and res; on the deck with the sextant in his hands.* 1 am going to take an observation,\u201d he aaid ; + Calverley put me up to it, and I $hink I shall be able to find out where we are, for the wun is visible enough behind the clouds.\u201d Tolerably prepared by Calverley'a lessons and aided by rome good and clear worku on navigation, Greenfield succeeded in taking an observation for latitude, and alse in fining the longitude, by a comparison of the time where they were (ascertained by observation) with the Greenwich time given by the chrono- meterin the cabin, He was rather long about Lin culenlations, but they came right in the end, and guve very nearly the trusresult, which wan lat.56.10, long.12 west.A reference te map of Europe showed that this was two egrees uf longitude to the west of Ireland, and two hundred miles from South Uist, and os much from Isls, which was now very nearly io their own parallel of latitude.\u201cWe're a gocd long way from the land!\u201d raid Harry ; \u201cand every minute takes us nearer to the riddle of the Atlantic, I wish we could hail a ship! We might then put a crew into the ¢ \u2019 and feel sure of saviag her, 1ushouldn't like the Calverleys to lose their new yacht, they were so fond of her.\u201d \u201c And I shouldn't like Mea.Blount to lose ker ndson,\u201d said Greenfield; \u201csho isso fond of him!\" \u2018Then they both laughed, the first time they kad laughed for hours\u2014it was a laugh of returning hope.\u201c As soon as ever we get to land somewhere, I'll send a telegram to the old lady.\" ** Better send it to somabody else\u2014to Mr.Masham for instance, for him to bear the good ews to her.\u201d \u201c And to think that the Atlantic Telegraph Cable is perhapa only just under us, or only Vit routh of us, and we cannot gat mb it 1\u201d Greenfield was sweeping the horizon with Lis glass, and said nothing: but seemed fora moment very much intercated in something at a distance.At lust be exclaimed, \u201c1 say, Hurry, there's a yacht, aschooner yacht ; «15's tuo pretty to be a merchant ship.Bh.» bate ing to windward, and coming in our dirx tion really, though sho seems to be sailing away to the south.\u201d \u201c Must I atcer so nas meet her?\u201d \u201cI rather think the best way will be to kag, along juet as we are.She's on her port taci now, When she gets on her starboard tack, the will cross our course ugain.\u201d The schooner kept a lung time on tho same tack, but eventually, to the great satisfantion of the crew of tho * Alarin,\u201d cime round on the other.The \u201c Alaris\u201d herself was going towards the schooner at a considerable xpeed, £0 the distance perceptibly lessened, At last Hurry said: * The wind blows from un to them, it would carry sound well, I should think, and we've » brass cannon oa Loard.Let un fire it, and see\" Neither Harry nor Greenfisld had ever firod 8 cannon in his life, except little toy ones ; however, they were nothing danated by the «ize of the brass jun on the * Alaris,\u201d which, though small enongh relatively to those of man-cf-war, was like « thirty-ton gun in co parison with the tiny artillery of their experience.(Cireenfield being now at the tiller, Harry immediately net about loading the cannon, having first quickly removed its cover of painted canvas, and went down below fora cartridge, There were blank cartridges and ball cartridges tos (only a few of the latter).Île selected one with ball, and excused the choice to Greenfield by remarking that it would do no harm to anybody, and would make \u201ca bigger thunge.\u201d by which he mount a louder .\u201c The ** thunge,\u201d as he called it, waa loud enough, for it astonished the artilleryman himself, and shook the very bones of his hoad.The man at the helm could not help jumping, and poor little Minimus, who had been confined for his own nafoty to the little cabin, ruched in alarm to the bolted door, under the impression that the strange voyage had culminated in a catastrophe.The bull tore away through the upper part of two or three distant waves, then buried itself in the water for ever, and sank slowly through two miles of depth till it got to the bottom.This bit of artillery-practico rather amused Muster Harry, su he expressed hia conviction that it would be necessary to tire sever times, in order to sitract the attention of the yacht.In this way he fired five shots, and the consoquence wan that the schooner, instead of making long tucks, as before, made short ones, that tha * Alaris\u201d might not be disco: Finally, a pufl of smoke came from the side of the # er, And some seconds afterwards, the report of her run reached the * Alaris,\u201d but not a loud repatt, on account of the direction of the wind.\u201c1 think we're all right this time,\u201d said Harry, \u201cbut it's a pity not to fire off all the cartridges we have.Ît'a very good fun.I with we'd snch & jolly cannon at Rilsbury Gran, What thungosit does mako !\" Half an hour later, they wore auffisientl near the schooner to examine her in detail, She was a splendid vessel of 180 tons, and her nome wes the \u201cEstrella.\u201d She came in the most Mately manner up into tho wind, and just when her tight flat sails were quivering n stays, à bost was lowered, a YiteSoar which was rowed in capital form by six smart sailors in the direction of the \u201c Alaris.\u201d This host wes under the command of the \u201cEs.trelle's\u201d mate, who acted en coxswain.He was very soon on board the * Alaris\u201d, and in au- awer to hia questions, heard a rapid socouat of wa A il be h \u201c wl « tn soe you, youn, gentleman, on board Hu \u2018 tonte » euid the mate, \u201c yon can row, of course, eo We will leave four able seamen nn hoard your yacht to take cave of her.They'll be able to manage her.We can take aaything you my want in the boat; any clothes, I mean.\u201d Tarry and Greenfield arcordingly weut below for their things,and the portinanteans wore noon transferred to the life-boat, as was Mini- mus, still in surprise at the sucoeasion of ad.ventarer, yet not dissatisfied at being taken out of hix prison Ou board the yacht, the firat prrmon who epoke to them wan the owner, a gentleman of short siature, with gray hair, aud a koen, thin face, good-natured looking, yet a little imperious.He was dressed very simply, and quite in nantioal fashion, in dark-bl jtot cloth.Ams the mate reported what he ad done on board the * Alaris,\u201d and what he had found there, he need the words \u201cmy lord\u201d and \u201cyour lordsblp\u201d rather frequently, eo it appeared that the old nautical ple man was 8 nobleman, but the boys did not hear bis name.To reneivod them with the very greatest kindness of manner, said how tad he waa to ba of ues to them, and gave or- po that they should have a cabin to themselves, \u201cTiure you dry clothes I\" he asked to which the boyz snawered that thoy had some in their porinsntesus, so with the help of the valet, and hot water, thay soin presented lhetnselves in the state cabin, looking very clean and happy.Harry had no notion of meh à cabln, and in- dved, thie onr had heen intended by the owner of the \u201cEatrella\u201d much leas for bis own pleasurs than for the reception of ladies on short pless.ure ornises.It wan panelled with frames of carved ebony, the panels themsclres being covered with yellow satin, on which were em- Lrofdered various clegant and fanciful designs in dark purplerilk.Tiny niches were reserved in the panciling, and ccooupled by statrettes in bronze.The nofas wero covered with satin, Jike that upon the walls of this abode of luxury, apd lsmps were suspended from silver brackets (each of them a work of art) fixed in the eat tony.Allthe accommodation on board the \u201cFetriHa'' was on a large scale, and her state mnloona wore At for Topsy itoelf.\"I'.c owner came very son into this faating EDITION, PUBLISHED TUESDAY, drawing-room, and sid, * I've sent two more men and the second-mate on board the ¢ Alaris.\u2019 They Lave already got her mainsail up, and she la salling + close to the wind.Bho will have no difficalty in keeping company with us, for a cutter always mils closer to the wind than s schooner, snd the *Alaria\u2019 acems to be an excellent vessel of bor kind.But however well the cutter may sail, you two are my prisoners, and must remain with me till we get to Liverpool.\u201d Dinner being announood, they went to a remarkably comfortable state diuing-room in carved oak and green velvet, and here they were joined by the captain of the yacht, who had boen à lieutenant in the royal navy.There were no guests but our two yuuug friends, \u201cNow, I want you to tell me the whole story of your advénture mors at leisure, but first excuse me if I ask for your names.Ire the Aluria belongs to Mr.Calverley ; are you won or relatives of his ?I should scarcely tiko you for two brothers.\u201d Here the young gen.flemen gave a brief account of themselves.\u2018When it waa finished, their host's countenunes was over-clouded by an expression of great sadness.\u201cI wonder,\u201d hesaid, * whethor you arefrelated to the Blounts of Bil-bury Grange.I knew the last MF.Blount, of Bilsbuey, to his great misfortune, for he went abrond, at my request, to be of usc to me, and both he and his wife unbappily perished in the steamer hid, was to have brought thom back to Eag- à.\u201c1 am his only son, my lord,\u201d sid Harry, \u201cand you must be Earl Wymondeswold.\u201d The Karl louked at H with an cxpres- rion of cuch astonishment th:t it appeared to te minglel with dread, as if he bad.just witnessed something rupernatural.Then he held out his hand to Harry, aud said, \u201c This gives mo at once so much pleasure, and so much pain, that I cannot say more on the subject now, All 1 feel able to say is, that I have never Leen aware that your father and m ther had loft à child bebind them in Eaglsud.1 knew that they had none in Spain, and raw, from tho list of gers lost in the \u2018 Gau- dalquivir® that they had no infant with them.I called on your grandmother at Bilsbury soon after the event.She was at home, but veut to ray that she was too unwell to receive me, and felt that the sight of me could not be otherwise than very painful to her, so I did not call again.lence my ignorance about you.Hed I known you were liviag, you wou'd not have required this strange adventurs to find me.\" From that moment, the Earl did not treat Harry as a friend, vut ass son.Ho asked all ubout lis education, and about what he intend.al to do in after-life.Nothing of all this was lost upon the servant who waited at the little dipner-table, and an hour afterwards it was known to every inan in the forerastle, with the usual exsgyerations, so that Harry found him- felf treated with the very greatest defercace by all on board the ** Estrelia.\u201d (To bs Continued.) A BOY SAVES A TRAIN.Tre Indianapolis Suntinel of Baturday, 3rd inet., has this interesting story : \u2014 Last Tuesday the Cincinnati day express, going esst, left Connersville on time, was flying on its way at the rate of twenty-five miles an hour, when approaching a bridge over a river & few miles from Connersville the engineer notived & small boy in the middle of the track motioning wildly with his arms.The heavy raina for several days bo- fore had caused tho man at the throttle no little apxicty, and in o moment it flashed over Lis mind th: tho bridge, but a very short distance al nd.wou at least damaged by the freshet.Wi hh une hand ho reached for the whistle, £10 «ith the other he reversed the engine.J).train employees heard no ordin- sry storpi.signal in the keen, short whistle, ard in 1 mu:nent conductor, baggageman, and sllthe tr.in vm} loyces were helping the regular brmkemcn wind the chains that were per- Lapa the only hopes of saving the lives of nllon board.Thetrain was stopped within a fow steps of where the bridge once rested oa the abutment.The structure had boen washed entirely away, and had it not been for the boy the catire train would have gone into the river, as (be bridge was just at the end of a curve, and so hidden by trees that ite disappearsuce would not have been noticed until too late.An soon as the gers had gotten over the rhock the full realization of their dangee had caused, a earch was made for the boy.He waa found sitting down off to one side of the track, shaking aa if he had a chill so badly \u2018was he frightened.Every one on the train flocked arcund the brave little fellow, who raid he was cleven years old, and almost crushed him in their joyful anxiety to evon touch his body.He fonocently sud he did rot begin shaking until be sat down, thereby showing that not until he had seen the train stopin mfety did his nerves givo way.He eaid bis name was Davis and that he lived near Ly, pointing to & farm-house.He was on his way home from a neighbor's when he discov that a bridge had been washed away since prrine sum bour previous.He remembered the down passenger train, and knowing it was about timo it came along, hurried up the track to give warming.He had only arrived at the spot where he was noticed by the engineer when the train came along.One of the passengers, an elderly Quakerlady,gave him five dollars, which he waa reluctant to accept, although the oouduotor informed her that the officers of the road wonld reward the boy.The following day Superintendent Wil.linma arrived at the scene, and hunting out the hero, gave him what money he had about him, some tweuty dollars, with the promise that whenever he wanted anything at all, he ehould apply to him.NORTHERN COLONIZATION RAILWAY, LR4AT, OPINION ON THR COUNTY OF OTTAWA BONDS, Mresre.R, Tafatome, qe, snd P, Aylen, on son »t of the Muncipal nell of the County of Utiaws, have given « formal Loge aplaion as te whether the Corporation nanld anmpeltad to stgn debentures the amount subscribed.On the 12th Juoe, 1873, the Ottawa County Council authorized the Warden to subscribe to twenty thourand shares jo the above raliway on these conditions: 1.That the sald subscription should be pay- sble in debentures of the oration of the eaid County of Ottawa of one hundred dollars each, payahle twenty-five pere after date, bene- ing laterest at tha rate of six Pe contum per annum, on the first January sad July of every car.> 8.Ore hundred and fifty thousand dollars as the work of the ratlway progresses within the sald County of Ottawa, such payments not to excced fiity per cent.of the value of work done and materials furnished on the line between the boundary of the County of Argan.fcull and the village of Aylmer, and not to ex.cred three thousand dollars on any one mile therenf, fRuch payments on account shall ba made monthly es the wo progresses, upon the certificate of the Com « engineer, Wblch tony be verified, if required hy the Corporation, by an engîneer to elected by the musl- cipal council of the said county.To complete the sald rallway om or before the let December, 1978.The Lompar fs Insolvent.They have not ald any of de proprietors through whose finds the road passes.None of the stoc!

TUESDAY, THURSDAY.AND SATURDAY.MONTREAL, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1876, 1, teally asserted that both women and man aro incompaiably more virtuous than suywhere else.Whetler this [a or is not correct, I am unable to tell.Home reasons have beeu given in 8 previous letter why cou juxal fidelity and do- tuéstic virtues in general ivok as if they were more solid among ihe French of Canads than $mong the

remark, a great deal of the fotoaleating liquors abrerded should be charged to the account of the exceptionslly rude climate, It fs probably to tbe severity of the ciimats, too, bat the rad fuct of some of tho Canalise Ialtcs isdulging in the use of spirits should he attributed, Considerable discretion is, however, ustd in the cxercies of this Indulgence by ether scx.The drinkinz places are all more or less masked.Bcreens, double doors and gluzed windows everywhere protect the thirty sustemer, There are also apeclal apertires made lu some cares (some like the litt'e hole ta à sisge curtain)

water, and the execution of thousands of analyses.Dr, Frankland, in summing up the subject, of course classifies the mass of polluting matter into orgunic and mineral, necording to its source and character.der the head of organic mutter he names, first, town drainage: mcund, drainage from the various forms of fibre manufacture paper, 0, woollen, linen, jute and rilk factories}.der the head of Diincral matt«r he names, first, mine waters; and second, drainage from chemical works, Organic malter Oreurs in water either in solution or in suspension, wiheress mineral polluting matter, m cording to Dr.l\u2019rauklaud, in nearly always pre.cnt in a state of suspen.ion, and will, if allowed sufli-i-ot time, settle by specific gravity.This statemer.sounds strange in view of the well known facta concerning the presence of dissolved mineral salts in many waters; but it must be remem! that Dr.Frankland is speaking of \u201c polluting matter,\u201d and that the soluble min salts are net usually reckoned in that category.Moreover, it is in lakes without drainage, and not in streams, that the mineral salts sccumulate in largo quantities.Suspended organise matier ia ant likely to settle by gravity, and hence, to got rid of this, other means must be resorted to.Organic matter in solution is not only noxious Lut peculiarly dangerous, because it is often scarcely discernible by the senses.Clear water may therefore be more unwholesome than turbid, if the former contains organic matter and the latter only mineral matter.An illustration occurs to u« from our own observation.At tho St.Louis water works the main pipe through which the water is pumpad from the river has its mouth in the muddy part of the stream which.sa ia well known, at that point distinctly shows the two rivers, Mississippi and Missouri, Sowing together but not yet thoroughly mixed.It was found by experience that the Missouri water, though viry muddy, could be cor purified by settling, because its turbid character is dus to mineral matter ; whereas the clearer water of the Mississippi, which carries more organic matter in euxpension and solution, could not be no easily purified.The favorite theory that polluted rivers cleanse themselves is cmphatically disproved by the experiments of thin Commission.Dr.F anklend calls it an cxvedingly comfortable doctrine, if true, and sags it is in great repute among two classes of j+reuns\u2014those who are polluters of rivers, and those water companies which abstract their beverage from points below the outfalls of town sewage.Actual experiment has shown that after à flow of à dozen miles, although, ss might Le expected, the mineral matter suspended in & stream is considerably reduced, the quantity of organic matter in solution and suspension is the sa as at the beginniug.The remeadiee for orga pollution are divided into methods of prosipi- tation and methoda of vxidation.A common method of precipitation is the use of slakal lime or lime-water.Must drainage Water containa bicarbonate lime, and the addition of caustic lime reduces this bicarbonats, causinz a precipitation of the simple carbonate or chalk ; and this precipitate mochsnicaily carries down in its fall particles of matter suspended in the water, besides actually exerting a sort of surface attraction which takes out of solution some of the dissolved organio matter and carries it down in compacy with the precipitate.Rut this latter part of the process is exceedingly imperfect.Another very common process is precipitation by means of a mixture of alum, clay and an infiuitesimal quantity of blood.Uther processes employ sulphate of aluming ; lima and clay: lima and chloride of iron; or au bosphate of alumins snd sacked lime.All these diminish the suspended matter, but have littls offert upon organic matter in solution.Moreover, it is found that the material which they precipitate in practically worthless for fertilizing purposes, the ingredients roquired for fertilizers bein mainly left in solution.Dr.Frankland says the Commissioners believe, as the result of their enquirice and ex.rimenta, that the sewage purification of the uture will be affected by irrigation, that in, by distributing the foul drainigo npon the soil, which by surface utiri tun removes from it ita polluting matter bith in solution and in suspension, and delivers it to the roots of growing plants.The ouly drawhack is the difficulty and sometimos impowibility of obtaining sufficient land enitable for the purpose near large towns, It was found that by ordinary irrigation thirty acre were required for a populaticn of 3,000 prople.If less land was litigated mere abubidantly, the pores of n the soil e up aad the cfluent water was not ed ; but br bringing air and drainage water slternately In contaot with the roil, & rapid, continuous and satisfactory purification was obtained.This involves à well.kmr.wn property of porons matter, namely, tte attraction for gases, ceprrinus oc atmos- phorlo oxygen, and the great chemical affnlt; of this oxygen for organic matter.In thio way the oryanie pollution ie not only retained but really subjected to 8 alow and complete combustion, e process bas been carried on for three years at Merthyr Trdvil, whore but a ringle acre of land has been required each 3,000 of population.A curious instance of natars! purifisation may be seen fn our own country in tho Schuy.kill River, above Philadelphia, where steams come t et, some of which contain eulphate «f iron solution, others bicarbonate of limo, The result is 8 mutual doromposition producing aulphnte of lime and insolublo sale of iron, both of which are precipitated, leaving the Schnykill comparatively purs.Tho tor.mation there precipitates may be seen from for the Lanks.\u2014 Christion Union, - ee \u2014 CHILDREN'S CORNER.ANY AND BFSSIE; OR, BEARTNG ONE ANOTHER'S BURDENS, CLAPTIB HT.\u2014A LITTLE COXPORTRE.\u201cWhy, Ressie dear, crying ?Oh, don't cry, den't ery, dutling.\u201d Desai hed not heard Amy Joy enter; and the loving arms were around her neck before «Le was well aware that her little friend was in the room.my waited patiently until Bemie began to dryher eyes, then she aid cheerfully Les #30 they've moved you to the window, dosr ?How nice it is here, im't it?\u201d \u201cIt dora rotde mo any good,\u2018 said Messie, sorrowfully, \u201cI'vebeen worse since I've Loea here than I was over in the corner.\u201d \u201cWhy, how is that, dear P* asked Amy.© (Ob, it makes me think of going out mo,\u201d raid Tesaie: \u2018and I shall nover go out Again, I'msure I shan't!\u201d # Oh, but you must not talk like that, Bessie dear,\u201d said Amy; \u201cwo don\u2019t know how soon you may get better; besides, God does all for the best, ycu know, darling.Ah!\u2019 she added sorrowtully, \u201cit is easy for me to talk like the But still'it's true, you know, it's true.But now, Bessie dear,\u201d and her manner was light and cheerful again, \u201clet me tell you what I have got in my basket.Mother ta sent such a beautiful custard for yon\u2014for us I mean.For what do you think mo*her ss about it, Bessie?¢ Amy, she says, \u2018I've male this custard large enough for you both, for I know well enough {that Dessie won't eat it unless you eat with hor.And mind, Amy,\u2019 the says, ¢ you areto see that sho eatsheartily ; you tell her that I say 20.\"* With that up she jumped, and began her preparations.\u201cLet's ave, ahe said: * first of sll we'll have the tray,\u201d and away she went to fetch it.« Next Ab\" did mother put that cloth in the basket, after all?Oh, yer, here it is,\" and out from tho basket came a nice white cloth.\u201cWhat made her send it at all?\u201d said Dossie.Ah!

Polly Selfe! if you bed known but haif the joy that Amy felt in making others happy you would not have wondered that she was ro ready to give up her own pleasure for the enke of ber little friend! How Bessie enjoyed that custard, to be sure! And yet sho would ecarcely have touched it, you know, if Amy hado\u2019t Leen there to share it with her.And what a plessont afternoon those two friends spent togetter! How merrily they chatted over the little things in which they were intereat- ed! Amy had plenty of news to tell-how ber brother Fred had gone to the top class iu his rchool ; how Mrs.Leaver had her chimaey on fire; how Martha Tidey had gone to service: huw one of Farmer Tiliit's pigs had got into the pond, and heen drowned \u2014and I don\u2019t know how many other little matters of village mip, which \u2018were sure to interest Bessie.ut when Amy came to tell of the kind mos.sage the girls had sent, the subject was changed, and they fell to talking of pleasant times gone by; of their wanderings together in the fields and the woods; of the happy Sundays they had spent at school: of the kindness of Mra.Silverton, their teacher ; and then of their favorite hymns.This led them from talking to singing: Amy.of ennrse, leading and Reado joining in a little here and there.Then Bessie told Amy how nice it was to hear her sing \u201cOh so bright,\u201d when she first came in, and how she never thought it so beautiful before.So they sang it over again therc, together, and as the soft rays of the evening sun shone upon Amy's face it seemed to Bessie as though God bad sent some loving angel to cheer her sickroom, and poiut her to that happy laud of which they were singing.Oh, it was a pleasant afternoon! And how quickly it passod away! Why, here was Dossie's mother returned already ! \u201cWell, you do look happy.my darling!\u201d sho said as she came in.\u201c Why, Amy dear, what have you been doing to her to brighten Ler up like this F* Sho did not wait for an answer; but as she famed into the next room to put away her nnet she murmured to herself, * It's always the same: she's always bright and cheerful when Amy is with her.\u201d {To de Continued.)
