I’ml thanks be to Providence, it proved otherwise All hands were called to hoist sail and put out to sea which we did after a jjreat deal of trouble; hit ajrain: we put her olT the shoal the same way she came on and stood to sea the remainder of the ni^ht with as much sail as we could carry. In t he morn in:' we espied land at about three lenities distant I ►caring from us \V by X and proved to be the Jersey shore at Little Iv.'i' Harbor which was a beautiful sioht to ns. We had a line view of tin* beach which appeared with line rows of trees a little way from itsedire. and the hills raisin*: their heads which were covered with lofty pines, ^ave one the most satifaetory views that over my eyes beheld.

Their names are Gov ernor's, Kllis' and lledlow's Islands, tiovernor's is the largest. It is on the south side of the bay. It has two twenly-*_'un batteries and is situ ated in a very advantageous position, as any vessel that comes up mils* pass between the two islands of lled- low's and tiovernor’s.

It is a very pretty place, bavin*: a line, ijrcen field all around and is enclosed with a line railing', and the river on the front makes it look beautiful.

They know what ought to Is* refused, anil they know, within the limits fixed by climate and labor, what are tin* beneficial quantities to be consumed, but they have entirely failed to make their knowledge perme ate the world. The educated have only glimmering ideas as to what their chil dren should eat. Half of them, till a few vears ago, bad a sort of horror of sugar, one of the most nourishing of all substances—and the uneducated have positively 110 ideas on the subject. They just eat and give their children what they can get. It maybe said that this is inevitable, Is •cause the majority in till countries are too poor to do anything else, hut is that true? We are not pretending to he experts, hut if we understand what professionals say much of the licst food produced m the world is also thechcajiesf. Oatmeal, for example, is very much liettcr than wheat bread and infinitely hi tter than rye bread, and it is cheaper than either. Hardly anything in the world is as nourishing as lentils, which might he sold much cheaper than bread, and eaten, too, with dripping, an invaluable combination. Millet, on which the big races of India grow »o tall and strong, might, if there were a demand for if in Europe, Im* far cheaper than wheat, and so might “corn flour,” on which Ken tuckians, the strongest race in America, arc bred, though that requires mixtures with a less nitrogenous diet.—London Spectator.
