For days the fleet rode bravely on,
Hctorc the favoring wind;
The bine sea sticlehing far before,
A foaming wake behind.
I'ntil there came n night of storm,
And raging tempest-war;
And mountain breakers driving fierce
Upon a reefy shore.
The good wives sat beside their hearths
Anionic in Gloucester town;
And children played in carclc mirth,
That night the licet went down.
Hut waiting hearts at length with fear
And wild suspense trrew sore,
As Vro. the rolling Harbor liar
i The licet hailed in no more.
And widowed wife and orphaned child
Still walk with grief to-day,
l'or tiiri! and husband who went down
Ueneath the rolling surges' Irown,
In distant Chalcur Day.

Fuller's Knrth.
Katural soap, or soap clay, has been
dug from Mnunin's mine, on tho Hur-
bofs, in Franklin county, .Missouri,
sotno sixty miles from St. l.oui-. This
soap or clay was found at n depth of
seventy-live feet below the sut face,
which gives evidence of the presence
of paponiferous qualities, and is cnua
in lis effects to many of tho soat.V
the manufacturers.
Wo find tho above in several of our
exchanges. What has really Wu
found is jirobably ''fuller's earth," a vn-
riety-of clay which, from its unctuous
touch, might be easily mistaken for
soap. Tho same kind of clay has been
found on this coast, and heralded
abroad as a "toap mine." "Fuller's
earth" presents various shades of col-
ors yellowish, greenish, bluish, brown
and gray; its luster is dull, and it
feels very soany. when tubbed. The
quality most preferred by thoo who '"to shamo nt the look l God. Feet

l the channel would bo incrensed to

It is argued that the bar cannot under
any ciicuiiistances bo extended tery
much further into the Gulf for tho great
tropical current which makes thu
Oulf Htrcnui sweep along our entlro
'coast, already washes away all deposits
hum tlio outer edgo of thu bar. After
'lb" frown of tho bar is reached and tho
seaward slope commences, the water
', deepens rapidly to 0"0 feet, and ten
j miles off no soundings can be made,
Theso facts wero ndductd as sufi'tlent
reasons for concluding that though the
delta of tho Mississippi might bo o.
much farther in mi outward direction,
"(1 ronseqtiently it was urged that if
eilectiially agents wero employed tore
move tho bar from Its prcnout position
it would bo removed f oi ever.
