A Iriond of the family, the organist Volsius, a divine is Indeed upon as almost a supernatural being, is unable to influence him in spite of his eloquenoo and his sup plications. The old Franeft danntps ‘ . teacher, Tortelot, a retainer of the Hut- teras family, who is greatly venerated by George, is not more snore ssful thoi Volsius. In spite of all their endeavors and all their prayers George is deter mined to depart. He, therefore, goes to Dr. Ox, who has invented a marvelous elixir, and in company with Eva, his l>o- trothed; Axel Waldomcr, a Dane; Tor- telet, the retainer, and Dr. Ox himself, he descends into the bowels of the earth through the crater of Vesuvius. They traverse vast and mysterious galleries where they find not a living soul, but faiMoftana el -liw presence of a people who doubtless con ceal themselves and watch the trailers. George, always ready for adventure, •tarts on a tour of observation and dis covery. Suddenly Waldemer «tters a cry. Ho is struck in the batik by a large, curiously shaped stone. 'Whence conies this projectile? By what unseen hand has it been thrown ? They look on all aides—nothing. Waldemer puts the atone in his pocket, it will be a souvenir of the centre of the earth. Meanwhile Tartelet, astonished by the power of the echo in theee subterranean regions pro poses to hist it and logins to play on nia violin, from which he is never sepa rated. At the first stroke of his bow the instrument gives forth tremendous sounds; others rtwpond in the distance, then increase ns thev approach. At this moment monstrous Wings appear. They are led by Dr. Ox, who is not seen. They approach Eva, follow her and sur round her; they are about to seize her and bear her ofr, when old Lyden-Broko unexpectedly appears. Eydon-Broke, who is none other than Vokius. the good genius of the pieces, seizes Tartelot’s violin and begins to play with so mueh soul and skill that the monsters, charmed by his new Orpheus, leave Eva to listen, then disappear at a sign from the player. Saved from the monsters, the travelers soon find them- selves menaced by the flames. The flro mounts up from the centre of the earth. Sparks rain down upon them; torrents ’ « lava roll about them. Hero a very effective ballet of fire spirits is intro duced. George is dazzled, transjiorted. ■Li He had not hoped to see anything so extraordinary. Nothing now prevents hbn from returning to-tne earth to Jive Bappily with his dear Eva. Lyden- Broke (Volsius) triumphs. But Dr. Ox tells George Hatteras that what ho lias seen is nothing iu comparison with that wbichho is still able to show him. George hesitate*, then, pushed on by Ids fatal 2.

It is common to speak of the skill and exploits of thieves as remarkable. It is more remarkable that thieves " coaiplish greater things than are record ed of. them. The thief shqply follows his Unde, making himself as tlwroughly competent in it as if ho were learning some other means of obtaining bread. Those upon whom he prays are careless and forgetful, while he is always watch ing for an opportumty. Officers of the law- are paid when they moke no arrests, and there is little incentive (o catch a thief: so that thieves, if they can guard against the vigilance of the property owner, which is rarely exercised os it slioull l>e, have an oksy road to travel.

For ('very hundred girls bom into the world there are one hundred and four boys, and it used to be imagined that the extra four boys were supplied in order to moot the extra wear and tear of life which must be borne by the breadwin ners of the world. But'the old thing to whioh Dr. Biddle calls attention in a medical contemporary is that tho extra four per cent.* or boys is wiped out by death before they attain the age of Jive years. Why is this? Dr. Biddle makes two suggestions—first, that tho greater “waste” of boya maybe due to their higher anmutem: and, secondly, that it may he “due to the fact that our little boys are given over to the tender mor being reared by thoseriwho understand them. ” “ Those who understand them ” Would seem to refer to persons of their own sex, so that Dr. Biadle would ko< in to look with favor upon the appointment of mole nurses for male infants.

This method of payment is sometimes eiirri.-d out on a large scale.
