fell, about four years ago, as she was descending to her work." "Fell!" said our Swedish interpreter, rather simply; "and pray what became of her?' "Became of her!" continued the foremost of our guides, disengaging one of his hands from the ladder, and slapping it forcibly against his thigh, as if to illustrate the manner of the catastrophe,-" She became a pancake'"

As we descended further from the surface, large masses of ice appeared, covering the sides of the precipices. Ice is raised in the buckets, with the ore and rubble of the mine: it has also accumulated in such quantity in some of the lower chambers, that there are places where it is fifteen fathoms thick, and no change of temperature above prevents its increase. After much fatigue, and no small share of apprehension, we at length reached the bottom of the mine. Here we had no sooner arrived, than our conductors, taking each of us by an arm, hurried us along, through regions of "thick-ribbed ice" and darkness, into a vaulted level, through which we were to pass into the principal chamber of the mine. The noise of countless hammers, all in constant action, increased as we crept along this level; until at length, subduing every other sound, we could no longer hear each other speak, notwithstanding our utmost efforts. At this moment we were ushered into a prodigious cavern, whence the sounds proceeded: and here, amidst falling waters, tumbling rocks, steam, ice, and gunpowder, about fifty miners were in the very height of their employment. The size of the cavern, over all parts of which their labours were going on, proved that the iron-ore was deposited in beds, and not in veins, for then the work would have

been more confined. Above, below, on every side and in every nook of this fearful dungeon, glimmering tapers disclosed the grim and anxious countenances of the miners, for, at the moment of our entrance, they were driving bolts of iron into the rocks, to bore cavities for the gunpowder, for blasting. Of this fact, and of the consequent danger of our posi. tion, we were not at first conscious: in vain did a miserable-looking female miner, snatching a lighted splinter of deal, dart to the spot where we stood, for the purpose of making us acquainted with our situation; for, even if we could have heard what she said, we could not have comprehended a syllable. But as the other miners now passed swiftly by us, hastening tumultuously towards the entrance of the cavern, we began to perceive our real danger: the noise of the hammers had ceased, and a tremendous blast was near the point of its explosion. We had scarcely retraced with all speed our steps along the level, and were beginning to ascend the ladders, when the full volume of the thunder reached us, as if roaring with greater vehemence, because pent up amongst the crashing rocks, whence, being repeated over all the mine, it seemed to shake the earth itself with its terrible vibrations. We were afterwards conducted into other cavities of the Persberg works. The whole hill of Persberg may be considered as a vast deposit of iron-ore; the ore lying in separate beds. The miners work in spacious caverns-like those of our salt-mines in Cheshire; excepting that the interior of our salt-mines, containing neither ice, nor cataracts, nor dreadful precipices to be scaled by means of rotten ladders *, nor filthy wretched females doomed to do the work of men-are rather pleasing than alarming in their appearance.

When we had concluded our examination of the Persberg mines, we set off for Saxan, and from thence, the whole way to the frontier of Dalecarlia, the traveller constantly meets with mines or ironfoundries: and it is worthy of remark, that wherever these appearances take place, there are also evident marks of the blessings of industry, in the neatness and comfort of the dwellings near them.

These subterraneous treasures, and their consequences, in employing so many foundries, and in requiring so much aid of machinery for working the mines, are among the most important possessions of Sweden. Their evident importance, in the prosperity to which they give rise throughout districts that would otherwise be deserted, ought to serve as a lesson to the inhabitants of other countries to seek diligently for such sources of industry and opulence, where the features of the country are unfavourable to agriculture; since it is the same Providence which renders productive to human labour the most bleak and barren rock, and the most fertile vegetable soil.

We left this country with feelings very different from those with which we entered it from Norway, where the barren aspect of the country seemed calculated to excite the murmurs of its inhabitants. For even amid these rocks we beheld "a land which the Lord had blessed;' -a land, it is true, where sluggards might starve,-as they may any where; but where a sturdy and active race of men have already found all that is necessary for the comforts, and even for the iuxuries, of life; a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, nor lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass!"- -From DR. E. D. CLARKE's Travels.

*The descent into the Cheshire salt-mines is by means of buckets, in which one may be conveyed into the mine, and back again, with the utmost safety and cleanliness.

NATIONAL EDUCATION. THE Report of the National Society, for the year 1832, has been published, and gives a most gratifying account of the progress of education. It does not confine itself to the Schools in union with the Society, but gives a summary statement of Day and Sunday Schools throughout England and Wales. The Society, last year, issued circulars to every parish church and chapelry, for the purpose of making a general inquiry and, from the returns made in consequence, it appears that there are above eleven thousand Schools in connexion with the Established Church; and that the number of children receiving education in those Schools, under the superintendence of the Clergy, and in the principles of the Church of England, amounts to more than NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND.

:

This fact, when it becomes generally known, will surely put an end to the shameless falsehoods which have been told about the general negligence of the clergy. Nor can it any longer be said, with the chance of being believed, that they endeavour to keep the people in ignorance. No calumny can be more gross, no falsehood more base than this. Whatever may have been the case before the Reformation, it is certain that, since that period, the clergy have been the most active and strenuous promoters of the education of the poor. King Edward and the Reformers were not able to do all that they wished when that great change took place, but they did a great deal. Their plan is thus spoken of in an interesting Appendix on the Rise and Progress of Schools.

"After the darkness which had prevailed so extensively, it was no trifling help to the ignorant, (1) to have a Bible fixed on a stand in the church, that they might all read it, or hear it read to them, (2) to have a comment or paraphrase on the Gospels in the same place, (3) to have the liberty of possessing a Bible at home, (4) to have chosen sentences of Scripture written up in large letters in the churches, (5) to have prayer offered up to God in the vulgar tongue, (6) to have homilies, intended to suit the capacities of the common people, and other godly books printed and dispersed abroad in a language they could understand. All these were vast helps continually lying in the way of those who were least informed. But besides what was offered them by provisions of this nature, positive duties were enjoined. The Clergyman, in the capacity of a catechist, was to be the instructor of the poor and labouring classes in all things necessary for the great purposes of life. According to primitive usage, the sponsors of children were, of necessity, obliged to make a solemn promise that the child should be taught the creed, the Lord's prayer, and the ten commandments in the vulgar tongue. They were obliged to teach them the church catechism, in which all things concerning faith, practice, prayer, and doctrine were collected in such short and plain sums, that the weakness of no man's understanding could hinder altogether the knowledge, or excuse the utter ignorance, of things necessary to salvation. The office of public baptism was set forth as the basis upon which the religious education of the poor as well as rich was to be framed, All curates were to instruct and examine children on Sundays and holidays in some of these things, publicly in the church; all parents, masters, and dames were to send their children, servants, and apprentices to be ordered and instructed by him ;-they were to breed them to learning, or some useful and honest employ;-in riper years they were to be examined, and not to be admitted to the Lord's Supper unless they understood these fundamentals of religion.—And to promote the same pious and enlightened purposes, wherever Schools existed, for whatever class of society, the masters were to be examined and licensed by the Bishop, that security might be had for their bringing up all children in sound doctrine, and in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Hence, notwithstanding that Schools for the poor, in their present character, were little thought of in that age, a plan was devised which, though far from perfect, was sufficient to embrace the religious interests of the whole population of the country; and happy had it been for the people, if it could have been dulv carried into effect.

"But the indifference of mankind to their spiritual welfare, the inadequate support left for the parochial clergy at the destruction of monasteries, and various other causes, combined to prevent this happy result; and it was not until the year 1698 that a School, specifically for the lowest classes, was actually set on foot. The SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING CHRISTIAN KNOWLEDGE then appeared as the great promoter of the education of the poor. It proceeded on one simple principle, that the growth of vice the principles of the Christian Religion. And this evil and immorality was greatly owing to gross ignorance of it laboured to diminish, by encouraging Schools and promoting the circulation of useful and religious books.

·

"But the zeal and earnestness with which the design was prosecuted, especially by the Clergy, will be easily judged of by the following facts. For the general encou ragement of the work, the children and patrons of Charity Schools assembled together annually, and a sermon was preached in aid of the cause by some eminent divine ;-on the first occasion, in 1704, 2000 children met together, in St. Andrew's, Holborn, and a sermon was preached on Genesis xviii. 19. Afterwards the anniversary took place in St. Bride's; then in St. Sepulchre's, where nearly 5000 children were assembled in 1716; and, on the 2nd of May, 1782, the Schools were, for the first time, assembled in St. Paul's Cathedral (Dr. Porteus, Bishop of London, preached), where the anniversary still continues to be held; and where, notwithstanding the dimensions of the building, the conductors of the ceremony are now obliged to limit the numbers of the children admitted, by reason of the prodigious increase of Schools."

The National Society has just obtained a King's Letter to make a general collection in every parish throughout England and Wales, and we hope the appeal will be liberally answered.

THE BEAVER. (Castor.)

THE Beaver (Castor), whose fur is so valuable, is an animal of astonishing industry, and prudent foresight. In order to procure lodgings and provisions during winter, the beavers live in a state of society, which resembles the civil compact of man, rather than the mere instinctive habits of other animals. As they must live near water, and frequently in it, they build dams across running brooks, to create an artificial lake; and in order to accomplish so great an object, they are obliged to labour in concert. The ingenuity with which they construct their dams, and build apartments or lodgings, is truly astonishing. If the water of the river or creek have little motion, they build their dams straight across; but if the current be rapid, they make them with a considerable and regular curve against the stream. the parts are of equal strength, and constructed of drift-wood, green willows, birch, poplars, mud, and

All

stones. These dams, by constant repairing, often become a solid bank on which trees soon grow. The

beavers sometimes build their houses in lakes, and other standing waters, without dams; but the advantage of a current, to carry down wood and other necessaries to their habitations, seems to counterbalance the labours of building a dam.

They construct their houses at a convenient distance from the dam, of the same materials; and the principal objects appear to be, having a dry bed to lie on, and security. The walls, and particularly the roof, are often more than five feet thick; and they never give them the last coat of mud-plaster until the frost sets in, which freezes it so hard, that the wolvereen, the greatest enemy of their tribe, cannot easily break through. Some of the large houses have several apartments; but it appears that each is occupied by a whole family. There is no passage into them from the land side; and they have vaults on the banks of the river to retreat to, when they apprehend danger. They drag pieces of wood with their teeth; the mud and small stones they carry between their fore-paws and their throat, They execute their work wholly in the night. When the increase of their numbers makes it necessary to build other apartments, or when they shift to another situation, they begin to cut down the wood early in summer, and begin building in August; but do not complete their work till cold weather sets in. They feed on the bark of trees, preferring that of the poplar and willow, and float down the wood which they cut in summer, to their habitations, for winter provision; but their principal article of food is a thick root, that grows on the bottoms of rivers and lakes. In summer, they feed on herbs, berries, &c.

THE CHEROKEE INDIANS.

I HAVE been very much interested by some anecdotes of the North American tribes, detailed to me by a friend, who, during an excursion in America, was anxious to collect all the information that could be gained of the original inhabitants. I had been accustomed to consider them (as perhaps some others as ignorant of their progress as myself yet may,) still in a state of barbarism. This, however, is far from being the case. The march of intellect, in its giant strides, has reached even the distant regions they occupy. The oppressed Indian, driven from the home of his fathers, has now a consolation for this unjust treatment in the benefit he derives from the present possessors of the land of his ancestors; for from the European settlers have proceeded the first rays of the light of knowledge, which have penetrated, and are rapidly dispersing, the gloom of ignorance with which he was formerly enveloped.

It must be delightful to every benevolent heart to hear that the minds of a large portion of these people are expanded; that they have raised themselves to the rank of civilized beings; and, above all, that the gloomy terrors of superstition no longer enslave them, but that they are blessed with a knowledge of truth in the pure doctrines of Christianity.

The Cherokees, in particular, have made great advances. They have a code of laws enacted by a council of their chiefs and warriors. They like to be styled As soon as the ice breaks up in the spring, they the Cherokee nation, are anxious to maintain the digleave their houses, and ramble about during summer; nity of their tribe, and each year send two ambassaand, if they do not fix on a more desirable situation, dors to the congress at Washington, to guard against return to their old residence in autumn, to provide any encroachments on their territory, and watch over the store of wood necessary for winter. The beaver their general interests. May their possessions never is cleanly in its habits, always leaving its apartments be invaded! Sad, indeed, would it be for them to be for necessary purposes. They are easily tamed-be- forced from their beloved habitations; for they have come fond of human society-are readily taught to not led, like many of the Indian tribes, a wandering eat animal food—always retain their cleanly habits-life, but from time immemorial have possessed the and are fond of being caressed. They bring forth territory they now occupy. from two to five at a birth.

The flesh of the beaver is considered very delicious both by the fur-traders and the Indians. The value of the fur is well known; it forms an important and principal article of commercial profit to the Hudson'sBay Company.

The colour of the beaver is a very dark glossy brown; accidental, but very rare, differences occur. Some travellers mention that the white beaver is a distinct species; but Mr. Hearne believes that there is but one kind of beaver, and, during twenty years' residence at Hudson's-Bay, he never saw but one white beaver skin; and the beautiful glossy black beavers' skins are also merely accidental variations.

Those who hunt beavers in winter, must be well acquainted with their manner of life. Their vaults, or holes, are discovered by striking the ice along the banks with an ice-chisel fastened to a pole. While the men are thus employed, the women, and those less experienced, break open the houses; and the beavers, not being able to remain long under water, are secured and taken by the Indians.- -M'GREGOR'S British America.

The beaver, although now known chiefly as an American animal, was formerly abundant over all the northern parts of Europe, and not uncommon in Britain. At present, it is sometimes met with, in small communities, in retired spots on the banks of the Rhone, the Danube, and the Weser. As a proof of its having been found in this island, we may notice

One of their old superstitions must still, no doubt, contribute to increase their attachment to their country, though it may have ceased to influence their belief. The idea was, that their forefathers sprang from the ground, or descended upon their hills from the clouds. This made them consider the lands of their ancestors inestimable; and it was looked upon as highly dishonourable to relinquish the venerated spots where the bones of their forefathers were laid.

The circulation of newspapers in a country is a sure proof of its having attained to a certain degree of civilization. The Cherokees have one, which is published weekly at New Echota; it is printed partly in English and partly in Cherokee characters. I have a number of this publication now before me. It commences with a copy of some of the laws, to which the signatures of many of the assembled chiefs are annexed. These, it is true, sound strangely to our ears. Each chief, in addition to his own name, takes some English one of his own choosing; and the taste displayed in this selection seems rather extraordinary. Turtle at Home, Black Fox, and Path Killer, do not to us convey ideas of very dignified persons, yet these are the names of three of their most distinguished chiefs. The other contents of the paper are remarks on the affairs of the Indians, and expressions of their feelings; extracts from several English and American authors (Sir Walter Scott, Washington Irving, &c.); and translations of some portions of Scripture into the Cherokee language.

RELIGION.

RELIGION should enter into every thing that we think, or feel, or speak, or do. Each morning, we should reflect that we are about to enter on a day, which is the gift of God, and which is wholly due to God, and of which we must hereafter render account at the judgment-seat of God: and, having thus reflected, we should frequently, in the course of each day, recall these thoughts, and apply to God for his all-powerful grace, that we may continually feel ourselves in his most holy presence, and conduct ourselves as exposed to his all-seeing eye. Each night, we should examine ourselves wherein we have offended, wherein we have omitted any duty, or committed any fault; we should humble ourselves for every such neglect or offence before the throne of grace; and we should entreat for strength and power from on high to amend our lives, and to proceed in all virtue, and godliness of conversation.

And conscious that, though placed in God's empire, we are surrounded by hosts of darkness, we should never lie down to rest without fortifying our souls by devout and fervent prayer. The devil will flee from him who is shielded by this divine armour. If such a man be sleepless, he will have recourse to the best and only sure fountain of consolation and enjoyment. Like David, like Silas, like Saint Paul, and like our blessed Lord himself, his prayers and praises will ascend at midnight unto God; and amidst his quiet and refreshing slumbers, that God will shield him from all evil, and make his very dreams devout! -BISHOP JEBB.

EPITAPH ON AN INFIDEL.
[FROM THE LATIN.]

BENEATH this stone the mould'ring relics lie
Of one to whom RELIGION spoke in vain;
He lived as though he never were to die,
And died as though he ne'er should live again.-M.

NEW RIVER.-SIR HUGH MYDDELTON. WE gave, in a former number, an account of the ancient mode of supplying London with water by means of CONDUITS. These were found insufficient for the increasing demands, and, accordingly, in Queen Elizabeth's time, the citizens of London obtained an Act empowering them to cut and convey a river from any part of Middlesex or Hertfordshire to the city of London, within ten years, which, however, was not carried into effect.

In the early part of James the First's reign, another Act was obtained, " for bringing in a fresh stream of running water to the north part of the city of London;" and this was followed by one still more explicit; but the difficulties appeared so great, that the city declined to undertake it.

Mr. HUGH MYDDELTON, however, a native of Denbigh, citizen and goldsmith of London, who had amassed a large fortune by a silver mine in Cardiganshire, and who had urged the city to apply for the Acts above mentioned, was disposed to carry the object into effect. He made an offer to the Court of Common Council in March, 1609, to begin this work, on their transferring to him the powers which they possessed under these acts; and, this being regularly done, he commenced the work, on the 1st of April following, entirely at his own risk and charge. Various difficulties, however, soon occurred;-the art of civil engineering was then little understood in England; and he experienced many obstacles from the owners and occupiers of the lands through which his destined river was to be brought.

The distance of the springs of Chadwell and

Amwell, where he began, is about twenty-two miles from London; but it was found necessary, in order to avoid the rising grounds and valleys, to make the stream travel over more than thirty-eight miles.

The spirited and industrious projector soon began to feel the weight of his task, and petitioned the City for an extension of the time appointed for its completion. With a fresh term of four years, he again set to work; and, having adjusted the claims of interested landholders in a friendly manner, he was so reduced in finances when he had brought the water near Enfield, that he was compelled to entreat the co-operation of the City in the great and useful design. The city of London refused to grant him any aid, and he then petitioned King James himself, who, upon a moiety of the concern being made over to him, agreed to pay half the expense, past and to come.

The work now proceeded rapidly, and was finished according to Mr. Myddelton's original agreement; and, on the 29th of September, 1613, the water was let into the basin, now called the NEW RIVER HEAD, which had been prepared for its reception. It happened that, on the same day, Sir Thomas Middleton, brother of the projector, was elected Lord Mayor of London, and that he proceeded, with the Recorder and many of the Aldermen, to see the opening of the river, of which STow gives the following account.

[ocr errors]

'A troop of labourers, to the number of sixty or more, well apparrelled, and wearing green Monmouth caps, all alike, carrying spades, shovels, pickaxes, and such like instruments of laborious employment, marching after drums twice or thrice about the cistern, presented themselves before the mount, when the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and a worthy company beside, stood to behold them: and one man in behalf of all the rest delivered a speech.

"At the end of which," says Stow, "the floodgates flew open, the stream ran gallantly into the cistern, drums and trumpets sounding in triumphal manner; and a brave peal of chambers (guns) gave full issue to the intended entertainment."

It only now remained to convey the water to the various parts of the metropolis, the expense attending which was considerable, and it was some time before the water came into general use; but this having been effected, its benefits were soon apparent. So little, however, were the advantages of this river at that time understood, that the shares continued to be of very small value; and for the first nineteen years after the finishing of the work, the annual profit upon each scarcely amounted to twelve shillings.

This noble undertaking is generally allowed to have cost the original proprietors 500,000l., an immense sum in those days, yet not astonishing, considering the heavy expenses for the purchase of land, &c. in the line of the stream. At the completion of his enterprise, the once wealthy and public-spirited MydHe was obliged delton found himself a ruined man. to part with the whole of his property in the scheme, being the thirty-six shares vested in him out of the seventy-two into which it was divided.

Sir Hugh Myddelton died in 1631, having been When we reflect upon created a baronet in 1622. the public spirit and persevering industry of this great man,we cannot but regret that he and his family not only reaped no benefit from this great national undertaking, but were absolutely impoverished in its accomplishment. Lady Myddelton, the mother of the last Sir Hugh Myddelton, actually received a pension of 201. per annum, from the Goldsmiths' Company, which was afterwards continued to her son, Sir Hugh, in whom the title expired*. Some of the *Gent. Mag., vol. 54, p. 805.

On a small isle formed by the stream that supplies the river at Amwell, a tribute of respect was paid by the late Mr. ROBERT MYLNE*, surveyor and engineer to the Company, to the memory of Sir Hugh Myddelton. It consists of a votive urn erected on a monumental stone pedestal, which is surrounded by a close thicket of mournful trees and evergreens. An inscription appears on each side of the pedestal. That on the south is as follows:

SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF

SIR HUGH MYDDELTON, BARONET,
WHOSE SUCCESSFUL CARE,

ASSISTED BY THE PATRONAGE OF HIS KING,
CONVEYED THIS STREAM TO LONDON.
AN IMMORTAL WORK!

SINCE MAN CANNOT MORE NEARLY
IMITATE THE DEITY

THAN IN BESTOWING HEALTH.

The inscription on the north side is a Latin version of the above: that on the west, describes the distance of Chadwell, the other source of the river, &c. the east, records the dedication of this "humble tribute to the genius, talents, and elevation of mind, which conceived and executed this important aqueduct, by ROBERT MYLNE, architect," in the year 1800.

MOUNT HORER.

ON Horeb's rock the Prophet stood,
The Lord before him pass'd;
A hurricane, in angry mood,

Swept by him strong and fast:
The forests fell before its force,-
The rocks were shiver'd by its course.
God rode not in the blast;-
'Twas but the whirlwind of his breath,
Announcing danger, wreck, and death.
It ceased-the air was mute-a cloud
Came, hiding up the sun;

When through the mountains, deep and loud,
An earthquake thunder'd on.
The frighted eagle sprang in air,
The wolf ran howling from his lair.
God was not in the storm;-
'Twas but the rolling of his car,-
The trampling of his steeds from far.
'Twas still again, and Nature stood,
And calm'd her ruffled frame;
When swift from heav'n a fiery flood
To earth devouring came :
Down to the depths the ocean fled,-
The sick ning sun look'd wan and dead,
Yet God fill'd not the flame ;-
Twas but the fierceness of his eye,
That lighted through the troubled sky.
At last, a voice, all still and small,
Rose sweetly on the ear,
Yet rose so clear and shrill, that all
In heaven and earth might hear
It spoke of peace, it spoke of love,
It spoke as angels speak above;
And God himself was near!
For, oh! it was a Father's voice,
That bade his trembling world rejoice.
Speak, gracious Lord! speak ever thus ;
And let thy terrors prove
But harbingers of peace to us,

But heralds of thy love!

Come through the earthquake, fire, and storm,
Come in thy mildest, sweetest form,

And all our fears remove!
One word from thee is all we claim :
Be that one word, a Saviour's name!
