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. I. Hayes.

Save your Young Men.
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.—

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.

go one way and the left the atter';
