Deep Sea Soundings.
Some persons are surprised at
the statement that the water upon
the telegraphic plateau between
Trinity ami Valentia Bays is from
two to three milee deep io the deep
est parts, having been told that there
it is comparatively shallow. A com
parison of deep 6ea-soandings will
ahow that the idea of its shallow
ness is correct, when measured by
the 'almost incredible aVysse3 to
which the "plummet has been Bent.
Lieut. Berryraan, in 1853, made a
mounding in the Atlantic ocean 29,
G0O feet in depth, equal to a little
ever 71 miles; and Capt. Denham, of
.
the British Mvy, has obtained
sounding at the vast depth of 36,
23G feet, or about 7 English miles.
The highest mountains upon the
globe might be hurled into these
immense chasms and still leave a
vast ocean abovo their tallest peaks.
The giant Himmilays, that overtop
nil other mountains, would be swal
lowed as easily as the Alps. The
highest peak of the chain is only
2S,17S feet above the sea level, and
its summit might be submerged
about three miles, at the point of
Oapt. Deubara's deepest sounding!
No Principles on the Subject of
Slavery. Tho position of the Uni
ted Synod, tho body that seceded
from the New School Assembly, in
consequence of its action in refer
ence; to slavery, is thus defined in a
pastoral letter lately published by
the Presbytery of Winchester: "It
deciues, that as slavd-holdrcg h not
alluded to iu our Constitution, it shall
bo let alono in our ecclesiustical
meetings, and the Tnam-gcmentof it
left w Lolly to the State, where it
properly belongs. As a Church, we
have no principles upon this subject,
while each individual connected with
us is left at perfect liberty to enjoy
rod express his own opinion upon it
upon his own personal responsibility."
'The N. Y. Herald says that the

are doing an active business in the

States. Louis Phillippe had large
possessions in our Republic, and Louis
Napoleon has sent from three to five
millions here to be invested by his

it is believed, to fully fifty millions

"away up in
boasts of one of the
California. Oq the
bench he is firm, decided and prompt,
not caring the snap of his finger for
eithir tho applause of friends or the
muttering of enemies. He is, per
haps, the most devoted man to law in
all creation, and has his head so full
of what he terms "judicial talk," that
be not unfrequeutly finds himself ma
king learned charges and passing
sentence outside of tho court room.
On a recent occasion the Judge
was culled on to exercise the "power
and authority iu him vested," in the
case of a young couple, who desired
to have their hearts united in the
holy bond of wedlock. Of course he
consented to perform the pleasing du
ty, and on the appointed evening was
promptly on hand at the house at
which the affair was to come off.
The room was crowded by the beauty
and fashion of the town, and none
looked more dignified and happy
than the Judge himself, who was
dressed within an inch of his life.
It is customary on occasions of the
kind referred to, for the good folks of
the mountain to pass around the wine
quite freely, and to their everlasting
credit, we will add, they consider it
no harm for one to manifest his in-
terest in the joyous event by getting
"lively.". The judge is an ardent
admirer of the fair sex, having in the
course of his life led the third one
to the altar. To use his own lan
guage, he is a "great believer in wed
dings." and that he should become a
little mellow amid the glorious scenes
of the evening, was not to be wonder
ed at by those who knew him inti
mately. He would take bis tod."
The wine had passed round and
round and 'round. Tho music had
ceased. The time for making Jo
seph Bowers and Nancy Harkeos
one, had arrived. Every heart throb
bed with the most delightful emotions.
The young gentlemen desired to know
how "Joe" would stand it, and the
young ladies were anxious to see how
"Nance" would suffer tho anxious
shock. Others, again, who had close
ly observed the turn of affairs during
the evening, fixed then attention up
on the judge, to Fee how lie would
come out of the scrape.
At length the trying moment was
announced. The judge arose very
cautiously from the chair which he
hadoccupiad in one corner of the
room, and casting his eye over the
company, he recognised the sheriff of
the county, who was present as an in
vited guest. The judge had imbibed
just enough to make him forget the
nature of business. He Has full of
his "judicial talk,'' and required noth
ing but the presence of the sheriff to
start him. Looking sternly' at . the
officer, he shouted:
'Mr Sheriff, open the Court and
call order!"
A general twitter followed this com
mand, in tho midst of which the
sheriff took the "court" gently by
the arm, and led him to his seat in
the corner, at the same time inform
ing the august personage of his mis
take; . . -
Everything cow bid fair for a sud
den termination of the affair, until
another annoyance, which was noth
ing less than the absence of the
bridegroom, was observed. It turn
ed out that he had just stepped across
to join his friends iu a parting drink,
but before his return, somo cold blood
ed wasr had whispered into the car of
our fogy the causfc of "delay in . pro
ceedings.'' Instantly the chair in the
corner moved, and in that direction
all eyes were fixed.
'Mr. Sheriff," slowly drawled the
iudsre. "brine Joe into court on a su-
penar" the judge had his own way of
pronouncing the word men aaaress
ing tho bride who stood in the fore
ground, and hung her head in deep
confusion, ho added: "I'spose youVe
the plaintiff. Well, don't take on.
Innocence and virtue will be protect
ed in this here court."
This was the saddest blander of all.
The judge was again made to see his
mistake, and would have been consid
erably set back, bad it not been for a
nnnmm, tmnI taorsdaf,
i
corrective in the shape of "forty
urops oi :ne critter, wnica ne in
stantly applied.
In a few moments all was ready in
righr down earnest ' The bridegroom
had arrived, full of joy. The bride
in "gorgeous array," stood at his
side. The company pressed forward.
The excitement was intense. The
judge never looked so dignified in his
lifr. He evidently felt every inch a
judge.
'J-J-o-e B-B-o-w-e-r-s," commen
ced the man of law, in that distress
ing style of fpcech with which he
was invariably troubled when under
the influence of liquor; "J-J-o-e B-B-o-w-e-r-s,
stand up. Have y-y-3'ou
anything to s-s-say w-w-w by is-s-sec-
t-tence "
"Stop, stop, stop, Judge," shouted
the sheriff from the back partof the
room. "You are not going to hang
the man, but marry him,"
The Judge drew a long breath and
blinked rapidly, but stood his ground
well. Recovering himself, he pro
ceeded: "J-J-oe B-B B-owcr?, do v-vou
t-t-ake Nancy II-II-Harkens for y-y-your
wife, so h-h-elp vou God?"
This was a tolerable effort and Joe
nodded assent.
"N-N-Nancy Harkens, it how re
maius for this here C-C-Court to "
Here the Sherift again interrupted
the Judge, reminding him of the real
business of the evening.
"Miss N-Nancy," resumed the
Judge, after being set right,' "d-d-do
y-you t'take J-J-Joe B-B-Bowers for
a husband, t-t-to the best of your
knowledge and b-b-belief, or d-d-do
you not?" .
"Ton Icir softly answered the
light hearted Nancy.
tThe Judge then took the hands of i
the happy couple, and joining them
wound up the business fis follows:
"It now r-r-remains for this h-h-h-here
C C-Court to pronounce you,
J-J-Joe Bowers, and y-y-you Nancy
Harkens, man and wife; and" (here
the Judge paused to wipe the per
spiration from his face,) "m-mrvy G-G-God
Or-mity h-h-have mercy on
y.y.your souls! Sherffl, remove ilie
culprits!" ;
The company roared. Joe and
Nancy weakened. The Sheriff was
taken with a leaving. The Judge let
himself out loose in a glass of apple
jack. It was the greatest vedding
ever witnessed. '

I think I smiled again;

And saw he seemed to wait
To-catch my very glance

I did not seem to heed,

At length a mutual friend

A Country Cottage.
The stream ripples brightly by my cottage,
' The sunfhine is bright onthestream;
And the wee pebbly stoues in the sunshine,
Like diamonds sparkle and gleam.
There are hazle trees kissing the water,
And plumes of the fair meadow sweet;
And down by the hazel sits Jennie,
And dabbles her little white feet.
The robin peeps in at my door way.
The linnet looks down from the tree,
And here, pillowed up in his cradle,
Wee Sandy sits smiling at me.
My milk-pail stards bright ia the corner,
My tins are all bright on the shelf; .
And the white supper-cloth on my table
Is clean, for I wat-hed it myself !
NOT YET.
If the great Temper can only per
suade men to postpone the atten
tion to personal religion, he is
quite satisfied with Lis success. Thi
conscience, quieted by the promise
of ' future elwrt ceases to give trou
ble, and the delay in numberless in
stances, proves fatal. Immediate
decision, followed by immediate
action, is the only safety
for a bur-
jdened soul.

"I am about to enter into trade;

Business did prosper.

ness; "my children must have my
care; when they are settled in life
I shall be better able to attend to

"Not yet,'1 still he cried; "I shall

And so he died; he put off to
