THE HURON EXPOS,ITORr The Birth of an Iceberg We observe the ' icy flood (the glacier) moving steadily and irresis- tibly onward, over precipices, . down steep declivities, upon level plains---. ;sometimes advancing with cumpara- .tide rapidity, sometimes slowly, but st .lily, year by year, coming to - Ts rds the fiord. We. see it swal- 10 ing up rocks and pastures ; _we 1.s a the deer retire further and furth- er down the valley, with each re- turning year ; we see the hillocks in the valley overwhelmed _with the flood of ice, the crystal stream pour- ing over and around them as if it were some semi -fluid substance.; we hear the cracking of the ice as the strain here and there becomes too great ; and we hear, ton, the echoing sound of the avalanch of ice and snow, crumbling from its front, and crashing down into the pont, be- neath. . We thus watch the ice - stream until the front- pf it has reached the fiord. But here it does not stop. The bed of the sea is but a continuation of the same inclined plane as the bed of the valley, and its outward course -is continued. Jt pushes back the water ; it makes a coast -line of ice where there had been a beach; and a white wall now stretches from one side of the fiord to the other. As it flows onward, it gets into deeper and deeper water, its foot still resting on the bottom of the sea. Thus the icy wall sinks gradually, down • as it moves along, and in course of time it has almost gone oat of sight. Then it gets be- yond its depth. When fresh ice floats freely in sea -water, there is one-eighth of it above the surface to seven -eighths below. If these proportions become disturbed—that is to say, if the glacier Should project far enough out into' the sea and deep water !to pre- sent mare than seven -eighths belo ATI to one-eighth above, then the buoy- ancy ofthe water will lift the pend of the ice -stream 'until it attains its natural; equilibrium. To do this, of course, a break mist occur, as the ice will not bend. But for a long time the continuity of the ice is not interrupted -so great" is its depth many hundredsof feet)., - so great is its width (two miles). But finally -it is compelled to give way. *; * We stood together looking at the ,glacier and the great sea of ice, when Philip said, ' Listen ! the gla- cier is going to calve ; for th.t is the name by which -they distinguish the breaking off of a fragment. I heard a loud report, but 1 could riot_ at once distinguish the source of it. An instant afterward it was repeated, now louder than. before. It resembled the first warning sound of .a -coming earthquake. I colld now see that a portion of the glacier was being lifted by the water. A 'great* wave was rolled back with this upward movement, and dashed fiercely against the ice- bergs that lay further down the fiord. Another instant, and the sound, which was before so deep and loud, broke. through the air with a crash that was like the discharge of heavy artillery near at hand. I knew now that a crack had opened in the ice -stream, and that a mass had been disengaged. A fragment of enormous propor tions was set at liberty. It first. reared itself aloft as if it were some huge leviathan of the deep indued with life, and was sporting its un- wieldy bulk in the hitherto undis- turbed waters. The crack had now opened wide. The detached frag- ment plunged forward ; the front, which had been rising, then sunk down, while the inner side rose up, and volumes of water that had been lifted with the sudden motion, pour- ed front its sides, hissing, into the foaming and agitated sea. Think of a solid lump of ice a third of a mile deep, and more than half a mile in lateral diameter, hurl- ed like a mere toy away into the. water and set to rollingwto and fro by the impetus: of the act—as if it were Nature's merest foot-ball—now down one side until the huge bulk- was ulkwas nearly capsized ; then back again; then down the other side once more, with the same unresist- ing force ; and so on, up and down, and down and up, swashing to and fro for hours before it comes finally to rest."—Dr. I.

From what 1 Not from hard work and exhausting toil, for this is the appointed lot of men, and we should not expect to escape from it; -by this right ,character is formed, and the earth brought to yield her riches Not from protracted and close study, for thus only are attainments and brain power developed, and the professions filled with able men. Not from rigid economy, years of toil,*and slow increase of wealth, for this is far better than fortunes made in an hour. But save them from' the fascina- tions of the gaming table, and es- pecially" from the insidious, fearful curse of intemperance. Oh, it is burning out the very vitals -of morality and manliness in a hundred social. circles. It is de- stroying by thousands the youth in our .best familiesi It is sweeping through and through the country, and carrying away to worthlessness and crime the youngmen who would be pillars in the Church and State, and it is gaining power daily. In a small room in a dark tene- ment building in a low part of the city, the writer was called recent- ly to pray over the dead body done piously trained, classically educated and endowed, who a` few years ago commenced his career with the brightest prospects., His fortune squandered, his heart destroyed, his brilliant talents besotted, by intem- perance, he died. A brother_ once equally talented and promising, was met at the door of the! narrow room, " with palsied hand, ''fevered eye, and muttering welcome, staggering against -the cof- fin as the service proceeded. A third brother—the youngest with downcast face and burning heart, wept over the desolation wrought bydrink. He may be saved. And this is one of the many cases that re constantly occurring. 'Ministers, teachers, fathers, moth- ers, sisters, call upon the young men to touch not, taste. not the accursed bowl. God save our young men.— Abstainer,-in Quebec Chronicle. te► Thrashing a Western Editor. 'Puritan, ;but a Puritan for all that: a, Methodist, ivho refuses to address the unions on a Sunday,; even, though sons of noble earls and the author of "Ginx's Baby" urge him; moderate and ` temperate—curbing the zeal of his eager followers, yet holding withne Puritan pluck to his "strike," and proposing his ulti maxum of a guinea a week to the Brookes and Leighs. Joseph Arch is well worthy to be the apostle of a new and most formidableTabor move- ment, for he has taught himself to read and►write; he has schooled him- self for the rostrum by lay preaching in Methodist chapels; and, by splen- did perseverance in tugging at ob- stinate hedges and digging trenches and making hurdles, has got the free- hold _of his cottage, from which no steward's edict can oust him. He has a rude eloquence born of sincer- ity, and a rude experience, and he confines it to the one object of per- suading the peasantry to insist upon reasonable wages, by orderly firm- ness and peaceful combination, keep- ing sternly aloof from politics, and forbearing to speak bitterly of the lords of the manors. Dr. Jones, of New York, ,told the subjoined 5 exceedingly a lli.ughable story at . a .reeent .celebratyicn of a Welsh society,the authenticity of which had been vouched for : "Editors," - he said, "like other shrewd men, had to live with their eyes and ears open. I have heard related a st-oryof an editor who started a paper in a new village at the West. The town was infested with gamblers, whose presence was a source of annoyance to the citizens, who told the editor if he did not conte out against them, they would not take his paper. He replied that he would give them 'a _smasher' the next day. And surely enough, his next issue did contain the promised "smasher," which did not belie its name. "On the following morning the re- doubtable editor was seated, scissors in band,- in his sanctum, cutting out news, when in walked a large man, with a club in.his hand; and asked: " `Is the editor in?' 4` `No Sir,' was the reply; 'he has stepped out. Take a seat, and read the papers; he will return in a few minutes.' "Down sat the indignant man of cards, crossed his legs with his club between them, and commenced read- ing a newspaper. "In the meantime the editor quiet- ly vaniosed down stairs; and at the landing below met another excited man with a cudgel in his hand; who asked hint a second time : `Is the editor inr " `Yes, Sir,' was the prompt res- ponse; 'you will find him up -stairs reading a newspaper.' "The latter, on entering the rcom, finding the `editor' prepared to meet him with his club, with a furious oath ecmmen3ed 'a 'violent assault upon the former, which was resisted with equal ferocity. The fight was continued until both lead rolled down to the foot of the stairs, and pounded each other to their hearts' content!" This was "equal and exact justice' all around; and it is to be lamented that all attacks upon honest and free - speaking editors against great evils should not result in similar manner. A Two -Headed Snake. Professor Halford has furnished to the Melbourne Argus the follow- ing account of the two -headed snake recently captured Each head was perfect in its own anatomy— muscles, bones, poison gii,ncls, and fangs. Each neck was perfect for about ten vertebro, when they blend- ed with one body and tail of the snake. There were two gullets, two windpipes, and two breasts, of which the right was the largest, as was the right head. The distribution of the blood vessels I have not yet traced. There were two intelligences belong- ing to one progressive apparatus, and; the result was very interesting to. witness. The right head wished to go one way and the left the atter'; as the neck vertebne of each depart- ed from the other at a very acute angle, the result was a simple on - AINLEYVILLE PLANING MILL, SASH, D.Oo LAND BLIND FACTORY The subscriber having bought out the above Mill, also the good -Will of the late firm, is now prepared to fill all orders in his line of business.
