THREE PICTURES.
There is a form of girlish mould,
Under the spread of the branches old,
At the well-known beechen tree,
With the sunset lighting her tresses of gold,
And the breezes waving them fold upon fold,
Waiting for me.
There is the sweet voice, with cadence deep,
Of one that slngetH the babe asleep,
And often turns to see
How the stars through the lattice begin to
peep,
And watches the lazy dial creep,
Waiting for me.
Long since those locks are lald.in the elay,
Long since that voice has passed away,
On earth no more to be;
But still in the spirit world afar,
She is the nearest of those that are
Waiting for me.

Mount Hecla, on the island of Iceland, is slightly under a mile in hight.
It has three peaks, a little elevated
above its body, and along its sides are
numerous craters, the seats of former
eruptions. The crater of the principal
peak is about one hundred feet in
depth. It ■ is composed chiefly of. basalt and lava, but slug-sand and ashes
cover a great part of its surface, and
obsidian is among its most remarkable
products.
There have been forty-three eruptions of Mount Hecla recorded within
the last thousand years, five of which
have been simultaneous with Vesuvius,
four With those of -*35tna, and one with
those of both.
The last eruption began September
*2, 1845, and lasted until April 6, 1846.
On the 23d of November, the torrent
of lava, two miles from the crater, was
a mile in -width, and from forty to fifty
feet in depth.
Carl Steinamen visited Hecla just
previous to' this terrific eruption, and
had one of the narrowest escapes from
a horrible death that' ever befel an adventurous man.
We give his narrative in almost his
own words.
On the next mornjujg after my ana.-
val at the small village at the foot of
the volcano, I engaged a guide, a faithful, honest fellow, and set out for a
visit, to the noted crater.
From the very first, it seemed as if I
had passed the confines and was entering a-new world, so entirely different
was the scenery.,
As you press upward toward -the focus
of all the horror of burning stuff, you
find the peril, dreariness and" desolation increases until, at length, when
you stand on the topmost point of
chaos, you instinctively raise your heart
to God, with a shudder of terror to re-,
store you to the' great living world that
you have left behind you.
For six mortal hours—three On horseback and three on foot—I had been
clambering upward from the lower
world, and now, among the clouds and
mists that rolled around me, I stood in
a world of lava mountains, ice and
snow, the lava black as ink, the snow
of dazzling whiteness, and not, in all
the region, the slightest shrub, plant,
or living creature except the guide and
myself.
As far as the eye could discern, when
the sweeping clouds afforded a view,
was a succession of dark hills, glistening' glaciers, snow-capped peaks and
frozen streams—a world devoid of life,
the awful solitude of death—.filled with
gaping caverns, terrific abysses, and
Stygian caves, which echoed only the
sullen reverberations of thunder or the
groaning of the troubled earth beneath,
So impressive, was the scene that I
felt a strange chill creeping through
me, and I shouted to break the horrible stillness, which was more awe-inspiring than the thunders of a thousand Niagaras. I frequently found myself imagining that I was dreaming,
and I was only assured by pinching my
limbs or conversing with my guide.
Drawing my blanket dround me to
shelter me from the chilling atmosphere, and carefully puncturing the
ground with my sharp pointed stick
before me, to make -sure of my footsteps, I began to pick my way over
piles and heaps of lava, and pitfalls and
patches of ice and snow, my guide
keeping near me, and often, warning
me when he thought my footsteps were
leading me into danger.
Occasionally I struck the fragments
of lava that rolled down behind me
and as yet discovered no signs of the
crater, which eighty years before had
vomited forth its tremendous volumes
of melted black sand. At length, however, I reached the summit, and looked
down into a sort of basin, open at the
lower side, and having several deep
seams or chasms in the centre, into
whieh the melted snow and ice were
running in small sti'ig&ms. A' repulsive
odor in the shafe''ot;a^feij-smoky vapor, cante up, and I ' rf-\ kL I: heard a
distant rumbling noi.-c . .;.-it sounded
far down in the earth.-
I turned to my guide and. was about
to speak, when I Observed that he was
trembling and was pale as death,
"What's the matter?" I asked;
you seem to be frightened."
"Oh, my God I'" he gasped, "there
is going to be another eruption."
"How do you know that? Have
you ever been here before 1"
" Yes, but I never saw it like this.
When I was here last there was no hol-
low there,   but   only   a level piece of
snow and ice."
" Indeed," I exclaimed, with interest,
-"and you judge that fact to be decisive
With regard to an eruption ? "
"Oh, my master," said he, in the
greatest agony, " what else could have
caused this change 1 There must be
fire below, or what has melted this glacier ? You see the ice is nearly gone,
and what is left is fast melting, and
will soon follow it."
" How is this?" I inquired.
He shook his head.
" All wrong; theirs trouble brewing,-
master, as sftre as you live. You had
better leave."
I recalled the fact that the last esup-i
tion of Hecla occurred, eighty years be*
fore, long previous to the birtW oi myi
guide, and consequently he cojidtl know
as little of that as I did.. This foolish
thought prevented me from putting
the faitfo in his words that I ought to
have done.
" There is . no hurry," I replied, " I
have been so long finding my way to
the top, that.I am hardly disposed to
leave until I have seen more of the
volcano."
I observed his paleness and tremb-
®6& increase, if possible, but I still felt
a reluctance to retreat so ignominious-
ly, after toiling so hard to make the
summit.
He stood a moment in silence, and
then ventnired again :
" Let us gd while. there is time. I
am afraid to remain here. We may be
overwhelmed at any moment."
" Hold on J " said I, sensible of a curious fascination, such as sometimes
comes over one when on the brink of
the most appalling peril. " It is true
the ice has melted, but it has done so
very gradually. I have spent a great
deal of time to reach Iceland, and
when I started it was with the resolve
to see Hecla."
"Heaven knows I have seen too
much already," he replied; "more
than has ever been seen by living
man."
" How do you know that?" I demanded, somewhat annoyed by the
dogmatical manner of my guide."
" At least I think so."
" And I think you are mistaken. I
cannot consent to go back until I have
descended into this basin and looked
down into one of those chasms."
" Let me beseech you, do not. It
will be the death of you I "
" If you are afraid you can reiiurn,"
said f, in an unfeeling tone, for which
there was no justification.
" Oh, no, my master, I will not desert you."
" All I ask then, is that you mil
merely wait for me."
I had no right to ask even that, and
I consider the .guide a simpleton be*
cause, he heeded my request.'
" I will wait," he replied, " but remember when you go down, that I kept
entreating you not to do so."
" I hold you blameless, whatever
should occur, so have no apprehension
upon that score."
The crater was about twenty yards in
depth, with sides that slope so gradually that it could be descended without
difficulty if ordinary care was only exercised. "
I first felt the lava, ahd found it
quite hot, but not unpleasantly so, and
using my stick with great precaution, I
began . the descent. I observed the
temperature of the lava beneath my
feet constantly increase^ but I had thick
shoes and knew .they would be unharmed.
I noticed, also, a thick sulphurous
odor, but considered this nothing unusual, although it left a thick, disagreeable taste in my mouth and gave an
unpleasant twinge to my olfactories,
. The rill of water made by the melting ice. flowed, hissing down, and'was
lost to view in the dark chasm, from
which came puffs of hot air, accompanied by a rumbling and trembling of
the ground.
The place, the scene, and withal, the
«ense of danger connected with it, held
me there by a magnetic facination, and
I soon found myself strongly tempted
to make a fatal plunge into the awful
abyss. Conscious that reason frequently
loses her power at such times, I forced
myself backward a few feet, but still
remained fearfully near the opening,
heedless of the frantic entreaties of my
guide.
Giving no heed, therefore,* to his
earnest solicitations, I now determined,
if possible, to sound the depths of the
cavern before me, and then proceed to
examine the other.
For this purpose I pulled off a small
piece of lava, and stepping to the very
edge of the chasm, dropped itj down
and listened to the hollow reverberations, as it went bounding from side
to side, long after it was lost to the
eye.
The depth was so immense that I
heard it for fully a minute, and then,
the sound seemed rather to die out
from distance; than tp pease from the
block having reached its destination.
It was a terrible depth, and as I drew
back with a shudder, a gust of hot
sulphurous- air puffed upwards, followed
immediately; by a steam-like- vapor,
ana a heavy, hollow boom, as .if a piece
of ordnance had been discharged in
the bowels of the mountain.
By this time I had regained my common sense, and became impressed with
the danger that hung over me. I
turned to fly, when all at once there
came a rumbling crash, and the ground
heaving and shaking and rolling under
me, began to crumble off into the dread
abyss, below.
I was thrown down, and on my hands
and knees; praying to God for mercy,
was scrambling over it, and upward,
to save myself from a most horrible
fate, when two- blocks rolling together,
caught my feet and legs between them,
and7 Without actually crushing, held
them as in a vice. Then came another
crash and crumble, .the lava slid away
from behind me, and I was left upon
the very verge of the awful gulf; now
widened to some fifteen or twenty feet,
down-fhto which I looked with horror-
strained eyes, and breathed the almost
suffocating vapors that rushed tip from
that seemingly bottomless pit.
Oh, the horrors of that awful realization I What pen or tongue can portray
.t$*1?T There, over the mouth of &
jiblaofc and heated abyss, I was held sus-
Tiended, a helpless and conscious prisoner, to be hurled downward by the
next great throe of rumbling nature.
"Help! help! help !—for the love of
Uo&, helpl^ I shrieked in the very
agohy'of my despair.
I rooked up and around to catch
sight of my guide, but he, with commendable prudence, I eotfidbut admit,
in my dire extremity, had sought his
own safety in night-.
I had notfiing to rely upon ' but the
mercy of Heaven, and I phyed to God
&b I had never prayed to Sim before,
for ft forgivenes of my sins, that they
might not follow me to judgment.
It migi; t be a second, it might be a
minute, it' Idight be -an hour that
I should have to undergo a living
death; but be the time longer or
short, I felt that there was no escape
from a doom which, even now makes
me grow pale and shudder when I think
of it.
Above me was the clear blue sky—
beneath me a black and horrible abyss
—around me sickening vapors that
toade my brain grow dizzy. Bumbling
and hissing sounds warned me that
another convulsion might take place at
any moment,, and another, would b,e
the last of mev Home and friends I
should never see again, and " my tomb
would be a volcanic Hecla!
'.. I stfove with the madnes^of desperation to disengage my imprisoned limbs,
but t might as Well attempted to move
the mountain itself. There I was fixed
and fastened for the terrible death I
was awaiting. Qh, God of Heaven!
What a fate!
All at once 1 heard a shont, and,
looking around,'! beheld with feelings
that cannot be described, my faithful
guide, hastening down the sides of the
fatal crater to my relief.' He had fled
in terror at the first ominous demonstration but had only returned to save
me, if possible, by risking his life for
mine. T^
"I warned you, master," said he as
he came up, his eyes starting and his
countenance expressive of commiseration and terror.
"You did I—you did !" cried I, " But
forgive and save me, for I am perishing!"
" I will save yon if I can, or perish
with you! "
The noble fellow instantly set to
work with his iron-pointed stick to
break the lava around my limbs, but
scarcely had. made any progress When
tjie earth again trembled, ahd the
rocks parted, one of them rolling
down the'ehasm with a dull, booming
sound.
• I sprang forward—seized a hand of
the guide—we both struggled desperately, and the next moment we had
both fallen, locked in each other's
arms, upon the solid earth above. I
was free, but still upon the verge of the
pit, and any moment might see us both
hurled to destruction.
"Quick! quick 1 there's not a moment to losel" cried the guide. "Up,
up ! and run for your life ! "
I staggered to my feet with a wild
cry of hope and fear, half carHed by
my faithful companion, hurried up the
sloping sides of the crater.
As we reached the ridge above, the
ground shook with a heavy explosion,
and looking back I saw with horror
which no pen can depicfe the dark,
smoking pit where We had -so iately
stood. Without waiting to see more, I
turned ahfj fled over the rough ground
as fast as my bruised limbs would per<
mit.
We reached our horses in safety, and
hurrying down the mountains, gave the
alarm tothe villagers, who joined us in
our flight across the country till a safe
distance was gained.
A few days later when the mighty
and long extinct Hecla Was convulsing
the island, and pouring forth its tre'
rflendous volume of melted lava, 1 was
far out upon the Atlantic, on my way
home, where I devoutly thanked God
again and again that I had lived to tell
my wonderful escape from death in its
burning crater.

The following item is from the Bu.
rcau County Patriot:
On Friday morning a merchant was
seen walking in great haste to his store.
A neighbor inquired if he expected to
find a customer waiting for him. " Oh,
no," replie'd- the merchant, " haven't
seen one for a week, but you Know
there are three partners in our concern, and as there are only two chairs
in the counting room, I want to be on
hand to secure one."
In a school recently a teacher tbex
occasion to relate an anecdote of the
little girl who tried to " overcome evil
with good," by giving a new testament
to a boy who had ill-treated her- The
story was appreciated, for a few minutes afterwards one boy strucx another,
and on being asxed the reason, said he
was " trying to get a testament." This
was a practical bearing altogether un:
expected.
From the Cincinnati Times.
Twenty-five years ago _when the people of towns began to cultivate the
Sickly refinement that so distinguishes
the present time, we knew a young
lady Who rejected the acquaintance of
an intelligent and industrious-mechanic because, as she said, "his hands
smelt of his profession." Ten years
later that lady had been married some
time to one whose hands did not smell
of any profession at all. He was employed in some light business that permitted his.hands to beoome as delicate
as a lady's. She spent all .lifs earnings
until he found himself put of employment because better hreil ftere found.
She turned free lov.?r oat of contempt
for her husband. That' is the way it
generally turns out with all who are
governed by such sentiments. That
rejected mechanic became one the first
citftens, and congratulated himself that
his honest hands saved him from so
great unhappiness as might have followed the friendship of that lady-.
We knew another similar case) where
young me'n who were farmers) or armed
with good trades that would always insure of a living, ytere rejected for the
hand of a young lawyer. Her husband
found himself inadequate to cope with
the endless array of talent with which
he had to compete, and her spijjt was;
broken by the descent of her professional
partner to the occupation of a wood-
sawyer for a living: while those she
scorned were residing in town mansions, or on large farms,' the lords of
broad acres-.
In an article addressed to parents
and guardians, oh the 'duty of giving
their .boys trades, Thurlow Weed relates the following anecdote:
In the hope of tempting at least one
poor boy to learn a trade, we will give
a single example: More than thirty
years ago, one cold winter evening; at
Albany, we met a boy thirteen years
old, in State street, who asked if we
would give him employment. He had
come from Ireland expecting to find an
uncle at Albany, but the uncle was not
there, and he was a stranger and destitute. He-was temporarily provided for,
and we very soon placed him as an apprentice "to a builder. He proved a
good boy, served out his time, worked
as a journeyman a year or- two in Albany, and then went West to obtain higher Wages, Several years afterward,
when we were in Iowa, that boy called
to see us. He was a master builder now;
lives in his own house j had brought his
mother and sisters from Ireland, all of
whom were happily situated, while he
was himself prosperous and respected.
The hand of every young mail that
does not smell strongly of some pro*
fession should be evermore rejected.
•No matter how rich his parents may be;
" riches have wings and sometimes fly
away," and there is no positive certainty for the future except by knowing
how -to do something,- and to do it
well.
. The public sentiment should be such
as to condemn and scorn every young
man who is not only able to, but actually is not doing something useful. We
would not dwell entirely upon the necessity of having what is called a trade.
What We mean is that everyone should
know either a trade or agriculture; .For
every one who learns a trade there
should be at least four learning to till
the soil and all the knowledge necessary to success in farming. It would be
a good thing if every youttg man could
learn both agriculture and A trade;
then he would have a double reliance.
At least no young man's education
should be considered complete until he
had made himself familiar, both theoretically and practically, with horticulture. The time is rapidly approaching
when all who work or do business in
the city or town, will reside in the
country, on one or more acres. This
will render* such knowledge indispensa-"
ble to true ' independence. Besides;
this knowledge would be the strongest
temptation to work in the ground a
portion of each day, not only for the
pleasure of seeing beautiful objects
grow under one's hand, but also for the
sake of that health to which out-door
exercise is indispensable.
The time is coming when he who
cannot show a stout, masculine, sun-
browned hand, will be repudiated by
every lady Of taste as too little of a man
for her respect.
The drottes are becoming so numerous, that it will soon be a deep disgrace
to be seen unemployed, and parents
and guardians should look out for their
sons and wards in time, by bringing
them up to do something.
There is no reliance to be placed upon clerkships, because they are thronged by hungry thousands, who are ready
to grasp convulsively at the first chance
of a place to sell tape or toddy for the
means of subsistence. For every petty
little office there are thousands, greedy
as famine-stricken skeletons, to serve
at any price whatever. How can any
young man of spirit enough to be worth
anything, in any capacity, be satisfied
to live in this way ? How can any parent be satisfied to cast his sons into
such a contemptible scramble for a
bone to pick ?
No—better be manly, and for the
sake of manhood and a proud independence, become fully armed for the
battle of life. Be able to do something
and to do it well. Those who grow up
do-nothings are doomed to be know-
nothings and be.;nothings.
WALKING A RAFT.
There was a fellow once stepped out
of the door of a tavern on the Mississippi, meaning to walk a mile up the
shore to the next tavern. Just at the
landing there lay a big raft, one of the
regular old-fashioned whalers—a raft a
mile long.
Well, the fellow heard the landlord
say the raft was a mile long, and he
said to himself, "I will go forth and se
this great wonder, and let my eyes bf
hold the  timbers  which  the hand  c
man hath hewn-."    So he got on th1
lower end and began to ambulate ovet
the raft in pretty fair time.    But jus'
as he got started the  raft started  toe,
and as he Walked up .the  river it walk-
down, both going at the same rate;—--
When he got at the end ef the sticks;
he foulid they were near shore, and in
sight of  a   tavern.    He   landed   and
walked straight into the bar room he'd
come out of.   The general sameness -of
things took him a little aback;  but he
looked   the landlord steadily ih the
face, and settled the matter ih his own
way.
"Publican,'' said he-, "are you gifted
with a twin brother, who keeps a similar sized tavern, with a duplicate wife,
a comporting woodLpile,and corresponding circus bill a mile from here?"
The tavern-keeper was fond of fun,
and accordingly said that it was just so.
"And, publican; have yOu among yoof
dry goods for the entertainment oi
a man and horse any whiskey of th<
same size as  that of your, brother's?"
And the tavern man said that, from
the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, he had;
They took the drinks; When the
stranger said, "Publican, that twin
brother of yours is a fine young man—
a very fine "young man, indeed-. But
do you know, I'm afraid that he-suffers a good deal with the Chicago dip-
theria?"
"And what's that'?"" asked the tOdd
stieken
"It's when the truth settles so firm
in a man that none of it ever comes out.
Common doctors, of- the catnip sort,
callit lyin': When I left your brother's
confectionary, there was a raft at his
door, which he swore his life was a
mile long; Well, publican; I walked
that raft from bill to tail; from his" door
to yours. Now; I know my time; arid
I'm just as good for myself as for a
hoss, and better at that than any man
you ever did see. I always walk a mile
in exactly, twenty minutes ' Oh a good
road, and I'll be busted with an overloaded Injun gun if I've been inore'n
ten minutes coming here; steppin
over the blamed logs at that.
