These were 0on top of thlie ice andl lw ~opped so as to rest onl t heir keels. Ev'erytingIL bem!v ready, they were :NHI then tulrne(d so as to r'est on thle keel and side, w hen the -sailors buck led on their haernes.q~ the Ipas1senger's gave theliir aid, and oi1' the boats slidled.

Thlese little lills of ice wereo not very hiigh, from th IIiree to fonur feet, but I hey were generally f'rom two to thr iee hiundufred yards hong ; and oin a(eoun Il of t hiri ext r'emen rough ness5, it was raLlher tedliouis to minake wve airrive'd at the ter'Imi nation of teice, or rte,th c hc was thick einotugh to bear our we ighlts-for it was not entirely ('lear anly part of the enltire dis I ance-t hio paitsengers hialtedl, and the boats1 were pu1sheCd forward till Ihio ice gave way and let them illto the water.

WVell, when; inito thle water', or' ie and( wateri t'';-ethler. we nade itio risks from floating ico which ha( been broken loosu by the win< and was drifting with more speo( than wo. Al about 33 p. mo., we reachtc< tho firm ice surrounding this isle and then of courso, we had to dis embark. TIhe boats wero agair pulled upon tho ieo with tho as sistance of all parties, when w< began for tho second time, our on ward movement upon the firm ice flu t now lio sailors wore great3 worried, and wo made very dis couraging progress ; and glkinz into consideration the incrcasin, darkness on this bleak wildernest of ice, it was not at very desirabb( or comforting feeling. The win( seemed to grow stronger and th ice moro uneven, whilo we wer( going at the rate of ono milo eve ry two hours! At one time i scomcd that we would certainly b< compelled to remain out on th< ice all night, though wO were in sight of the light-house. A gloomy hour that-the passengers begin ning to murmur and threatening t< to abandon tho boats, and secl, their way to tire island ; but th< ca)taii restrained us, partly by saying that We would indeed per. ish as there were many dangerow places to avoid before reachin the coast, and partly by comfort ing us with the a1ssuranco that ie< was looking every minute for aid from tie isle. Eveni tihe thougit of remaining there on the ice dur ing the night was enough to chil any one, and I'm suro the reality would have frozen the entire par ty. unless there had been a suffi. cient amount of stimulants on board to have kept us alive in that way. And the poor women how they did sul'ler and cry I but now they are all talking and laughing over' the adv~entures of' tihe day. But to return. When wo wer< all about the climax of our despair lo ! we heard the whoops of voices coming to our assistance I What a joyfui m ioment that to overy beart! and in confirnation of whtieh, soon and simultaneously the cold icy shouts. Yes, it was aid, the strong, sturdy arm of the seamen--and within an hourit and a half after, we were all at our jonrerey's eid * * * *. Early the following morning the joni"oey was resumed, and witlhout ainy serious mishap we succeeeded in crossing the Belt, and on the erening of the same day reached 11amburg. This is a freo iperial city of North Ger'maniy, situated on tihe river Elbo, about seventy-fivo mites from its mouth, arnd con tains about 175,000 inhiab)it (antrs. I is theo firlst coimmerci(ial por't of G.er'manv--its im ports~ amiouint to $150,000,000 aininually, anid xp)or'ts $ 145,00,000, and is', in deed, erne Of tihe firPst comn mler'cial cities; of the wloi'ld.

Thre oldor portion of' H[amburg was ver'y badly buiilt, and1( consistedl of' narr'iow and1( ver'y dlirty sti'eets; but in ISR12, sixty-onio str'oets and1( over seveniteeni hun rdried houses wcer5oldestr'oyed by fur'e, and in the pr'ocessi of' rebuild inrg, maily imt por'tanlt impr)1oveilmnts wer'e made --and( the business portIioni of tile illamburg of to-daly, is really very maugnificenit. It is not a city tho' -aboundiing in public buildings or' works of' ar't deserving of' special montion--yot th-ero are some sigh ts wvell worth a visit. The Bourso or Exchange is a very fio buihi ing, andi certainily very lai'go. Re tween 1 and 3 o'clock every dlay, it ha1s withlin its wails some six thlouIsandi merCchanti s, and maniy v'isitors~ inl the gralleries. To bo0 thero( betwoon thoeso hiours, which is duinig chiaiige, and1( look dlown 0on the cr'owded assembly in the gi'eat HIall, is undoubtedly a very inlterestiniig sight, as we we watch the cxci toimon t dopjict ed on each face, white every'bodty is pushinrg and1( pullhing arid 1111 trying to talk ait tthe same t.ime. 'Tis impossible to dli'tinlguish a single wvord--all u' ri mhled togethrer in a per'ieet ntba(s of' voices. I visite ao :lso the Gymnasiurm, a lu ri il st1ltri l'e, l -otiniingan iiraIary 01 GUU,UUU volumes, and a I tolerably good museum, and St. I Pctor's and St. Michael's Churches I -both interesting, tho first as the oldest, being built in tho twelfth I century, an(d the second, as con taining the largest organ in Cor - many. The custodian also tells you that the latter has a tower - 400 feet high, is ascended by 000 steps, and will contain 6000 po o- pl. I ascended tho tower, but didn't count the steps, yet know very well that it was necossary to rest soveral times before reaching its sunmuit. The literary and charitable institutions of Iamburg aro very numerous, and its trade embraces every artielo of Cerman commerce, both in the way of im ports and exports. The principal branch of industry, are sugar re fining, brewing, distilling, calico ,,,printing, (lycing, hat-m aking, silk and velvet weaving, and tho mak ing of snutff' and tobacco.

No sloop so beautiful and calm, so fair to look U)on. Sho seemed a croature fresh from the haand of God, and waiting for the breath of life ; not one who had lived, and suffered death. Her couch was dressed with here and there some winter berries and green loaves, gathered in a spot sho had been usod to favor. "WIion I dio, put mo near somo thing that has loved the light, and had the sky above it always.'' Those wcro her words. Sho was dead. l)ear, gentle, patient Nell was dpad. 1ier little bird, a poor, slight thing the pres sur, of a finger would have crush ed, was stirring nimbly in its cago, and the strong heart of its child mistress was mute and mo tionless forever I Whero were tLIYo tracos of her early cares, her suflerings, and fatigues? All gone. Sorrow was dead, indeed, in hor; but peace and perfect happiness were born, imaged in her tranquil beauty and profound ropose. And still her former self lay there unaltered in this change. Yes I the old fireside had smiled npon the sweet face ; it had pass ed, like a dream, through the haunts of misery and caro; at the (oo' of the poor schoolmaster on (lie summer evening, before tho furinace fire upon the cold, wet night, at the still bedside of tile (lying boy, there had been thlat same mild and lovely look. So shall we k nowv the angels, in their majesty, af'ter death. The 01(1 man held one languid arm ini h is, andl the small, light hand iWled to his breast f'or warmth. It was the hand she hadl stretched out to him with heri last smile ; the hand that had led hlimi on th rough all their w'~anderI ings. Ever' andl anon lhe prlessedl it to his lips5, then hugged it to his brecast, murmuring that it was wvarmoer now, and, as lho said it, lhe looked in agony to thoso who st.ood aroundl, as if' imploring them to help her'. *She was dlead., and passed1 all help or needl of' help1. The ancient r'ooms she hadl scemedl to fill with lif'e even wvhile her own was wan ing fast ; the garden she had ten dled, the eyes she had gladdenod, the noiseless haunts of many a thoughtless hour, the paths she had trodden, as it were, but yes terdlay, could know her no more. "It is not,'' saidl the young schoolmaster as he bent down to kiss her Oil the cheek, andl gave f'ree vent to his tears, "it is not in this world that Heaven's justiceo ends. Think w~hat it is, comparedI with the world to which her young spirit has winged her early flight, and say, if 0on0 deliberIat(, wvish, expressed in solemn tones, could win her bac'k to life, which She had been dcad1( twvo days. They wce all about bori at thef ti mc, k nowitng that the end was dlrawin)g on. She dliedl soon after (layhlreak. They had roCad and(lIi tailked to her' ini the ear'ly p)ortion of'thle ntighit: bitu It Il1he h 1'S crept on, sho sank to sloop. They could toll by what she ftintly ut tered in her dreams, that they were of her journoyings with the old man ; they woro of no painful aconcs, but of those who had help ed thorn kindly ; for she often said, "God bless you 1" with great fur vor. Waking, she never wandered in her mind but once, and that was at beautiful music, which sh said was in the air. God knows. It may have boen. Opening her eyos, at last., from a very quiet sleep, aho begged that they would kiss her onco again. That done, she turned to the old mau, with a lovely smile upon her faco, such, they said, as they had never soon and could never forgot, and clung with both her arms about his neck. She had nover murmured or complaitned ; but, with a quiet mind, and a mind quito unaltered, save that she every day became morO earnest and more grateful to them, faded liko the light upon a smm1er's evening. The child who had boon her friend came there, alost a:( soon as it was (lay, with an ofl'ering of (dried flowers, which ho begged them to lay upon her breast. le told them of his dream again, and that it was of her boing restored to them, just as she used to bo. He begged hard to see her, saying that ho would be very quiet, and they nood not fear his being alarmed, for ho had sat alono by his youngor brothor all day long when ho was doad, and ho felt glad to be so noar him. They lot him have his wish ; and, indeed, ho kept his word, and was, in his childish way, a lesson to them all. Up to that time, the old man had not spoken once, except to her, or stirred from the bedside. But when ho saw her little favor ito he was moved as they had not soon him yet, and mado as though he would have como nearer. Thon pointing to tho bod, he burst into tears for the firsu time, and those who stood by, knowi.:g that the sight of tho child had done him good, left them all alono together. Soothing him with his artless talk to hor, the child porsuaded him to take some rest, to walk abroad, to do almost as ho dosired him. And when tho day came on which they must remove hor, in hor earthly shape, from oartlhly eyos, ho lod him away, that he might not know when she was taken from him. They were to gather frosh leavos and borries for her bed. And no0w the boll, the boll she had so often heard by night and by day, and listened to withI solcmn apleasu11ron, al most as9 a living voi Co, runog its remorse less toll for her, so young. so beau tiful, so good.

THE CorOlt OF MUrES.-In along exhaustivo article on the "nul," which it puts in tho form of a re view of a book on that atnimal, published by a Philadualphia house, tho writor says: "Color has much to do with tho value of a mule. The deepost col orodtof any particular color are generally the best. The white mule is the least hardy, though an iron gray is almost invariably a ser viceablo animal. Cream mules, with hair, mano and tail,. all of the same color, are frail; but thoso with black mano and tail, striped logs, and a black striped across tto shouldors t nd the back, are more hardy and more apt to re selmblo the jack than mare. Pin tos, or spotted tnls, ar-e tho least valuable of their race." With regard to the practice of using almost anything, whether it is easy for the animal or other wiso, to attach it to the load, the same writer gives thoso sensible directions: "Work animals should have every portion of the harness fit ting comfortably. The bridle and thront-latch should neither bo too short nor too tight, for one will ruin the mouth and head, and the othor the mind. The collar should bo just long ouough to enable the driver to pass his open hand easily through between it and the wind pipo ; and if it pinbes at all, should be put into water over night, and a 'ow moments wearing the next morning will give it tho exact shapo of the neck. Dry, hard loather collars should never be scraped, but washed, thoroughly in warum soapsuds and thon oiled.' 'lIls lCltlP': ON THE 'vulEATRY.
