A Homo in tho Ocean.
Let us visit Minot Light House now,
While this stortn is nt full power. This
ledge is covered by water, except for n
short time at, very low tide. It risos in
Bostort'b^yi about twenty miles from
)Joalo*s and one utile and a half from
C&kasffcf.. * Into it are fitted and bolted
down tho stones of the tower, which are
dovetailed and bolted into each other in
each u fashion that no stone can he moved
without lifting tower mid ledge with it.
'The tower, light and all, is 114 feet in
height; all over it, clean to tho very
top, the waves are dashing. Does not
their thunder make your very heart
tremble? But these keepers tell you
there ia no danger ! For forty feet the
cowers are built up solid, except the well,
which ia in the centro, thirty-eight iect
deep. It holds'a supply of water for ono
year. Tho water keeps good and pure.
The well holds 2.000 gallons. It is
rather warm in the summer, nnd in the
winter becomes as on. the keepers says,
"a kiud of porridge iee. We will sup
pose we enter the tower from a boat. To
do so we should either climb a ladder
forty feet long, fixed into the side of the
tower, or be swung up in a chair. At
the top of the ladder are two sets of
oaken doors, against which are uuw beat
ing the hungry waves.
Between the other doors and the
inner is an entry about three feet long.
Entering this room (which is the collar))
from the doors are seen on the right
hand tho coal uud the wood. There
?lands also u flour barred, and over these,
suspended on hooks, hangs buckets of
various sixes, containing, doubtless, many
good things for food. On the left is the
oil pump for jumping oil into the tank
in the oil room. Here are chests, ropes',
brooms, tubs, pork barrels, and a little of
everything needed for light keeping and
lwusu-keeping. It is dark ami .dn'U
here, and we had better ascend. Ah !
how good it smells here, in the room
Uext ubpvc the cellar. Kitchen and
dining-room and everything cosy, com
fortable and neat. A table well sot ?
hut eakes ami hot coffee and boiled fish,
**Of course we wjll." And down we sit,
not waiting a second invitation. Well, j
is not this a singular situation ? It
seems like dining in a while's belly.
8toriucd about and dashed about and
poured about by the remorseless sea, and
eating n relishful meal quite at our ease.
It is certainly one "new thing under the
aun"*to some of us Each of the four
keepers is oft' one week and on three.
Communication with the land is ol'ton
dangerous ar.d impossible. In the win
ter they cannot get home as often as
once iu three or four weeks. They all
have families on shore; and hero they
sit during storms that shake to its foun
dations their lonely tower nnd envelope
its crystal summit in foam, and they
thiuk of wives and little ones who may
ho sick or dying without the possibility
of sending word to their beloved watch
man ou the sea.
'?Do you not tako pleasure in the
sights you must, behold during a*ll these
isolated days and weeks ?" asked one.
Oh, yes 1 We have a very extended
prospect, and one which is never twice
the same. Both sea and sky are forever
changing, and everything that is on tho
aea comes and goes. There is nothing
stationary but our tower. Wo sec all
the vessels that go in and out of Boston
harbor, and iu the summer wo arc visited
by pleasant parties iu sailing vessels and
steumors, the latter of which .sometimes
bring out bauds of music, which play to
us. They approach close to us, and give
three cheers for Miuot Ledge light.
When visitors conic into the Light we
sometimes find ns much amuse mo nt as
they do. We have all sorts of visitors,
as you may suppose. They come from
China, California, and from all parts of
the world. We have many fatuous and
aouie infamous names upon our visitor's
book. It may seem itrango that so far
as we are from shore W/J should be. visited
by birds, insects, millers and butterflies
from the land. The butterflies are ol
huge dimensions. I have in the morn
ing swept oft" the walk that surrounds
tho lantern, thirty, forty, and fifty of
these little shore birds, which allured by
fho bright light, have flown hither over
the waters to their death.
!:Aiir) here }? A bit of tho glass from
fljjo of thp squares of the lantern broken
last wock by a lurge soa fowl, as we - up*
pose, for we did not sco the gentleman.
This is the first accident of the kind
giucc the light "ifas creeled.'*
"How long was this tower iti' build
ing r
., ' Five years and four mo
"What do you men find to employ
your minds and hands' with','and keep
time from hanging too heavily upon
you ?"
"Oh, we mniingc to keep busy. Wc
make almost everything, from an exten
sion table to n clothes pin. Then for
sport and to supply our tublc wc fish.
We don't have to go a fishing. Wc are
already there. All wc have to do is to
heave a line from the door, and in a
minute we have our dinner by the nose.
Then we have reading and writing and
sewing to do."
jfy this time dinner is finished, and up
we go. The next room is a bed-room.
We notice that the rooms are all of one
size, twelve feet in dinmetci, and six or
seven in height. Overhead in this first
bed-room is a long piece of joist, which
can be put out of the window and used
for raising up heavy objects. Hero is
nil iron bedstead, a table.on which lies a
register for the names of vistors. a ward
robe, a* marble wasn-bowl and a water
closet, l.'p again, and we conic to the
oil room. There is one water tank in
this room, also a work bench and a bor
of glass for the lantern. There are here I
an oil measure, a tool chest nud*h spare
lamp. Another of fche steep narrow
stairways brings us to the watch-room?
sitting-room of the tower. Here is a
table, an arm chair, a stove, books, pa
pers, a lew pictures, and the machine for
ringing the fog-hell. From this room we
may now. since the storm has ceased to
send the waves so high, pass out on the
balcony that surrounds it. Well for us
that the iron railing is so strong There !
now you've no choice but to go home
haro-heuded. Why did you not cling to j
your hut and Wig ? This wind is enough
to take hair put by the roots, even if it
leaves the head itself. What a scene !
-v> H??j>r4?iae L 'We. c.-.iinnt d ?>'-ri)>q it_;
Let us uo on j*WOuo more flight and wn
are in the light room. Here is the ob
ject tor whose elevation and continuance
all this masonry was made?all this skill
and labor called forth. "And the light
is the life id .men." Thus we render it.
At sunset the lamp is lit. and till sunrise
it ghincs on in the darkness?a beacon
und a warning to all who sail mi that
dangerous sea. 'file lamp has three con
centric wicks, and is in the centre of a
lens four feet in diameter and ten Feet
high. Step within and look at your
friends through these prisms?how do
you like the looks of faces three feet
long ? This magnifies the power of the
liiiht. and the glass walls of this room
probably have the same effect.. There is
another walk and balcony without, but
1 we will not try it. It is only on calm,
clear evenings that being out there is
agreeable. 15uL within, not all the cold
and frost and storms of winter, at its
worst, can effect one's bodily comfort.
One is as thoroughly protected as if he
was in his tomb. Wonder if these keep
ers ever have a nervous fancy that they
are entombed ! It would not be strange.
On the first balcony, about three feet
I wide, wc should have seen the fogbcll
could we have seen anything for the
wind and spray. It weighs 1,500 pounds,
and is hung up against the waii of the
tower. ? X. )'. Journal of Commerce.
A Touciiinc Stoiiy.?The Hon. A.
H. Stephens, of Qcongia, at a meeting
at Alexandria, for the benefit of the
Orphans Asylum and free school of that
city, related the following anecdote :
"A poor little boy on a c Id night,
with no paternal guardian or guide to
protect or direct him on his way, reach
ed at night fall the home of a wealthy
planter, who took him in, Fed and lodged
him, and sent him on his way with a
blessing. These kind attentions cheered
his heart and inspired him fresh courage
to battle with the obstacles ol life. Years
rolled round j Providence led him on
and he reached the legal profession; his
host had died; the cormorants that prey
on the substance of u man had formed a
conspiracy to get from the widow her
cstnto. She sent for the nearest counsel
to commit her cause to him, and that
counsel proved to be the orphan boy
long before welcomed and entertained
by her deceased husband. The stimulus
of a warm and tenacious gratitude was
now added to the -ordinary motive con
nected with the profession. He under
took her cause with a will not oasy to be
resisted, bo gained it: the widow's es
tates were secured to bor in perpetuity,"
and, Mr. Stephens added, with an cm
path is of emotion that sent an electric
thrill throughout the house, "That boy
stan I? before you."
Mormon Assassins.
i\ ? ??. - .it .
The Suit Lako Rrportcr gives the
following account of Brighum Young's
baud of cut throats:
A . certain nuhiber, suiil to be twelve,
of the roost ilusiK5rnfco characters in the
Church, were 'selected from among the
Danites to commit such assassinations as
might be found necessary by the Prophet
for the ^welfare" nnd "advancement" of
'his hob/ cause The murder of Gov.
BoggS nnd many others w:is plauucd in
the secret conclave of the Danites, nnd i
executed by the chosen '?twelve." The
attempt to murder Governor Bogga for
tunately failed, and at least one of the
would-be murderers is now kuowu to
live iu Utah. Both of these secret socie
ties now exist in Salt Lake City. The
discipline is mote perfect under Bfigham
Young than under Joe Smith, and con
sequently the aims more sure, tiie objects
more certainly accomplished. No sooner
does a Gentile enter Salt Lake City than
he is placed under the survcillianec of
?the secret police. A member of the
Danite organization is deputed to watch
him from the time ho comes until he
leaves. His habits words, and careless
expressions of opinion are noted and
reported, that the Mormon authorities
may determine whether he is a friend,
a secret enemy, or nn open and avowed
opposer of Mormon iniquity. The day
has been when expression of opinions
inimical to the Mormon leaders would
result iu assassination to the bold de
fender, and sometimes even the mere
suspicion that a Gentile was opposed to
the Mormon rule would produce such u
result.
Tho true secret of Brigham's great
success in controlling the discordant
! elements of which his Church is com
?posed is due to fears of the Duuitcs. The
Mormons know that certain death by
nssas.-'iiaiion awaits a violation id'their j
l oams, ami Und aliliougu tne^'oay1 o|J their7
I doom may be postponed, it is sure to J
! eoine with too opportunity. It is true
that many apostates have escaped as
! sassination. but this was owing to the
fact jthat they used*subterfuge to place
themselves beyond Brilliant's pa wer;
but even these instances are not wanting
of Danites having followed apostates into
different cities of the United States,
hoping for a favi ruble opportunity to
assassinate. Others escape, because for
tho time it is deemed inexpedient to kill
them. Bccoilt mysterious deaths of
Gentiles near Salt L.ke City have for
n short time excited comment, but finally <
tin v have been lorirotten. No coroner's
inquests have investigated facts and
circumstances, and no inquiry has been
made by the authorities into the cause
of their deaths. But such a system
cannot be perpetuated. The Government
must sooner or latter throw her protect
ing banner over her citizens in Utah,
and not allow it to be scoffed at and spit
on by a lewd ami lecherous priesthood.
Eauly Bisi.vn.?A young farmer
found he was getting reduced in circuill
stances. He went to a friend to ask his
advice. This friend, with a grave face,
said : "I know of a eharin that will cure
that; take this lit tie cup. and drink front
it every morning of the water you must
get front such a spring. But remember
you must draw it yourself at five o'clock
or the charm will be broken."
The next morning the farmer walked
across his fields, for the spring was at
the farther end of bis estate, and spying
his neighbor's cows which had broken
through the fence, ami were feeding on
his pasture, ho turned them out and
mended the fence. The laborers were
not yet tit work ; when they came loiter
ing along after their proper time, they
were startled at seeing their master so
early.
"Ohl" ''aid he, "I sec how it is; it
conn s of not gotting up in time."
This early rising soon became a pleas
ant habit; his walk and cup of water
gave him an iippctitc for breakfast; and
the people were, like him, early at work.
He soon acknowledged that the advice
his friond, had given was as good as it was
simple.
A Frenchman who was a Hinted with
the gout, being asked what difference
there was between that ami the rhucmu
tism, "One- very great diHereiicc," he
replied. ??Suppose you lake one tiee,
you put your linger in, you turn dc
screw till you bear him no longer?dat
is do rhucmntiz; den s'poso you give
him one turn more, dat is gout."
A .Mad Hohsk.-tIJ^, West Chester,
Pa. Republican of AJ-flM^rSiij-B: .,
"Ou Saturday labfjflBibor*>p#,iAcd.>by
Sewell Cliambers, a colored uiata Uviug
iu Thortibury township, was aeixed witli
hydrophobia. Tho aniuial had liuen con
fined in a field near ncr, I
but by some means' y.r>\, out of the enclo
sure into the public,?oad. It attacked
a team belonging to^William Farrqll,
who was engaged in hauling stone to the
railroad. The driver lif the team succeed
ed in driving oft' the mud animal, and it
is not believed that it injured any of the
horses attached to the team. When the
fit was off, the poor brute would become
very weak, stagger, and fall. When the
spasm returned it would again rise, und
attack everything in its road. Several
persons w.re chased to the tavern porch,
und one individual narrowly escaped
being bitten. Iu its fage to bite its own
tongue w.:s nearly bitten off. The animal
was finally secured iu a lot, where it died
during the night in great agony. It was
a valuable horse, and was used by Mr.
Chambers iu threshing grain, with a
machine, through the neighborhood.
What is still more terrible to contemplate
is the fact that tIiis horse is supposed to
have been bitten by a dog belonging to
Mr. Elias linker, that was thought; to he
mad, and bit two persons some three
weeks since?an account of which was
published in this paper. This supposi
tion is strengthened ky the fact that Mr.
Baker's dog bit two other dogs os the
farm of Sir. Georgs Faucet t, where the
horse was kept. The dogs of Mr. Faucet I
were killed immediately alter. The two
young men who'were bitten, as well as
their immediate friends, are much dis
tressed over these facts; but it is hoped
that the means resettled to in their cases
will prove effectual against thin malady.

drove the team pito a good range, and
determined to pass the Sabbath enjoying
a season of worship it li the good folks
of the village. When the time for
worship arrived .John \v;.s set to watch
the team, while the wa; oner went iu
with the crowd. The preacher had
hardly announced his subject before the
(dd man fell fast asleep. He sat against
the partition in the centre of the body
slip, while just against him, separated
only by the very 1 >w partition, sat a
fleshy lady, who seemed all absorbed in
the sermon. She struggled hard with
j her feelings, until, unable to control
them any longer, she bur t out with a
' loud scream, and shouted at the top ??!
1 her voice, rousing the old in.in hall awake,
who thrust his arm around her waist,
and cried very soothingly :
??Wo Nance! wo! Here John, cut the
bell}' band and loose the breeehing-quiek
or she'll tear everything t.? pieces!''
It was all the work of a moment, but
the sister forgot to shout, the preacher
lost the thread ol'his discourse, und the
meeting eaiiic prematurely to an end.
while, deeply mortified, the old loan
skulked away, determined not to go to
meeting again until he could manage to
keep his senses by remaining awake.

A Wonderful1 Story.?For a week
past the daughter of Mr. Walshauor,
aged about three years, ami residing at
the corner ol* Spain ami Grcattuan street
complained of an itching ache in the
stomach, which she attributed to her
parents, as being caused by ants. This
irritation lasted from that time until half
past seven o'clock Thursday night, when
she was taken worse. The father ol'the
child, supposing that worms was the
. an- - of her illness, administered a worm
powder. About midnight she was taken
seriously ill. accompanied by a choking :
sensati and it was feared she would j
die from the effects, when she suddenly
vomited, throwing up, among other mat- I
ter. a iive in use, about an inch and a
half long, not including the tail, which
was m ar the same length. As soon as
the young g'nl was relieved of the ani
mal, she immediately exclaimed to her
anxious pniuiits, "Oh. mother, look, this
is the thing that has been troubling me
So much." When wo saw the child.
Kr *' ly morning, she was as well as could
he, and rompituj about the streets as
happ) as a "gay sunflower." The mouse
which was so mysteriously lodged in the
child's stomach, was captured by Mr.
Albert Wetlbacher, tho druggist, corner
of Spain and Grcatuien streets, and pre
served in alcohol, where the curious, as
well as skeptical, can examine it at their
leisure. How, when and where the ani
mal found its way down her throat, and
how it maintained life, is a matter of
conjecture.? .Y. 1'. Time*.
