' Tf this had been in the city, they might . have lived "thus many years without making each other's ac quaintance, n As, however, the village in which they lived Was but a' small one, vicinity naturally led' to 'familiar ac quaintances, and thus an interchange, of neighborly courtesies. '.'It will "not 'do to cultivate exclusiveness. in a country village 'to keep one's self to one's self,? as the saying is. - Every one makes it a point to know all. about , everybody eije, and feels aggrieved if .any' 'impediments are thrown in the way. - .Tbis, however, is something of a digression. ...v. : "Bridget,' said "Mrs. Adams to her maid of, all .

To my mind it's just as bad to borrow an arti cle without intending to return it, as it is to pick a person's pockets 'Mrs. Adams had hardly seated her self to her work, when Bridget popped her head into the door and said : 'Please ma'am Jane is here, and says Mrs. Brown sends her compliments, and would be much obliged for the loan of a castor. ;' , ; . . -:-.:,-:.

' "'- Yes,' ma'am.', " Bridget disappeared, but returned in the space-of a minute. Jane forgot to ask the loan of a table eloth; and a dozen knives and forks.' What can .the woman, mean?' said Mrs. Adams, in astonishment, at this new demand. .' .'Well, you may give them to her, but tell her strictly they must be retarned to-morrow.' ' It seems to me,' she Continued, when Bridget had left the room,;. 'that Mrs. Brown must be strangely destitute of household conveniences, or she would never be obliged to borrow by the whole sale, as stie nas done lately. 'Bridget,' said Mrs. Adams, the next evening, 'has Mrs. lirown returned tne articles she borrowed yesterday?' Faith, not a bit! but bark i there's a knock at the door this minute. Per haps she's bringing them back.' ' 'Mrs. Brown sends her compliments,' said the yming lady in question, on be ing admitted, 'and would be greatly obliged by- the loan of a pair of glass lamps. Tommy broko ours to-day, and she hasn't got any to burn !' Well,' said Mrs. Adams, not overwil- ling, 'she can have ours for to-night. I suppose of course, however, she will pro- vide for to-morraw. But you havn't brought in the castor and other articles I lent you yesterday.'; ; , 'La, no,' said Jane .coolly, 'we are to have company to dinner day after to morrow, she would just keep 'em, and that would save the trouble of sending again.' ;.;.-:-.;.,,...,': 'Very considerate, upon my word,' though she did not say it.' ' ' ! She could not help' saying, however, with some slight emphasis -'Isn't there anything else I could lend Mrs. Brown to-day ?'s - .: i i 'There, now,' said Jane, with sudden recollectioo, 'I. came near forgetting one thing, and I should if you hadn't men tioned, it. ' Mrs. Brown would like to borrow your gridiron.' ' ; , ' 'Gridiron,' said Mrs. Adams in aston ishment. ' 'Yes, : ma'am, we've mislaid ours where we can't find it; and so if you hain't any objection we'd like to borrow yours, as we're agoing to broil some steak to-morrow morning.' 'Bridget,' said Mrs. Adams, in atone of despair, 'get the gridiron for J ane ; and if,' she continued turning to the lat ter, 'you could make it convenient to return it in the course of a fortnight, , I should be glad.' . 'Oh yes,' simply, not noticing the sarca8tio tone io whioh she spoke.

'No, no,V said-Mr. AdamB laughing, 'you give her the tub, and you needn't say anything about returning it it won't do any good.' - , 'Seriously,' said Mrs.: Adams, after Bridget had left the room, 'something must be done, or very soon the house will be empty. You don't know half the extent to which Mrs. Brown carries ber - borrowing propensities. Within the past week she has borrowed tea, cof fee, milk, sugar.'flour, eggs, frying-pan, knives, table-napkins, a castor, gridiron, shovel and tongs, and other articles, as the auctioneers say in their advertise ments, too numerous to mention, luis is bad enough ; but Mrs. Bron in ad dition to this, seems to regard the act of borrowing as investing her with per manent possession. ' At least I judge so from the fact' that she seldom of never returns the borrowed articles. 'Is it possible ?' said Mr. Adams in astonishment. . ' Certainly some end must be put to this ."wholesale robbery. Suppose we begin to borrow of her 1 It's a bad rule that don't work both ways, and perhaps if you make her feel a little of the annoyance to which she has subjected you, it may bo productive of benefit.' A good idea,' said his wife, laughing; 'and it is better to try this course than to refuse directly to lend any further; that would only produco bid feeling.' ; 'And yet,' said Mr. Adams, 'we must come to that finally,, unless the present course succeeds. " And next morning Bridget was sent to- Mrs. Brown s to borrow a dozen tumblers, nutmeg grater, and a couple Ot Sheets. Mrs. lirown was surprised. She had . never before received such an application from Mrs. Adams, and could not help wondering, besides, at the miscellaneous nature of the loan requested. Her sur prise was increased tbe following day, when Bridget brought her mistress' com pliments, aod would like to borrow her olothes-horse. ,,i . 'Yes, yon may take it ; but we shall want it early next week. : But you haven't brought back the tumblers.' No ma'am,' taid Bridget ; 'mistress expects, considerable company in a day or two, and it will save the trouble of borrowing again if she doesn't return them till afterwards.' ' 'Well,' thought Mrs. Brown, quite'un- conscious of the beam within her own eye, though she readily discovered the mote in that of her neighbor, 'I must say that is decidedly cool.'' .1 Every New England house-keeper knowa Tuesdav ia ironinr dav in all wnll regulated families. , , I I should like to tnow,' remarked Mrs. Brown, on that morning, 'why Mrs, Adams doesn't return my olothes-horse. She must know that it will be in use to-day. Jane, go over and ask for it. Jane did her errand. 'Give my compliments to Mrs. Brown,' replied Mrs. Adams, 'and tell her that since she borrowed our clothes-line. we've bad to dry . our clothes in the house, and . therefore were obliged to borrow her clothes-horse.. We should have been through nsine it. but as she has got our largest tub, it takes more than a day to got through with our wash- ine.' '.!"'. Mrs. Brown took the hint.

I had just turned in to warm and dry my. self during the momentary lull, and was stretching myself oat in my bank,. when I heard the sharp twanging: soap of. a cord. . Our six-inoh hawser had parted, and we were pringlng by the two others; the gale like a roaring lion to the south ward. ; ' ; ' .,(,.; ) -. - - , - Haifa minute more, " twang, twang!

The manilla oable was proving its ex cellence when-1 reached the deck ; and the crew, as they gathered ' around me, were loud in its "praises.

We then tried to beat back through the narrow ice clogged water .way, that Vas driving, a quarter of a mile wide,' be tween the shore and the pack. , It cost us two- hours of hard i labor, I thought skilfully bestowed ; bat at the end of that time, we were at least' four miles off, opposite the great valley in the cen- tre.of Bedevilled reach. , Ahead of us farther to the north, we could see the strait growing still narrower, and the heavy ice tables grinding up, and clog ging it' between the shore cliffs on ' one side and the ledge on the other.

' We ' allowed her to scud under 'a reefed : forctopsail ; all hands watching the enemy, as we closed in silence. ;i, At 7 ia the morning, we were close upon the piling masses. We dropped bar heaviest anchor with the desperate hope of winding the brig, but there was no withstanding tne loe torrent that followed us. We had only time to fasten a spar as a buoy to the ohain, and let her slip. So went our best bower. Down we went upon the gale again, hopelessly scraping along a lee of ioe seldom less than thirty feet thick; one floe measured by a line as we tried to fasten to it, more than forty. I had seen such ioe only once before, and nev er in such rapid motion. One upturned mass rose above our gunwall, aid smash ing in our bulwarks, and depositing half ton of ice in a lamp upon oar decks. Oar staunch little brig bore herself through all this.wild adventure as if she had a charmed life. ' ' " ! ' 1 Bat a new enemy came in sight ahead. Direotly iri our . way, Jast beyond the line of floe-ioe, against which wai were alternately sliding and thumping, was a group of bergs. WettabVnby power to avoid them ; and the oniy question was, whether we were to be dashed to pieces against them'or whether they might not offer, ns. some providential book of refuge' from the storm.' But as we neared them, .we perceived y that they were at some distance from the floe-edge, and separated from it by an ' interval of open water. Our hopes rose as the gale drove ns toward the passage and into it, and we were ready to exalt; when from some unexplained cause, -probably an eddy of the wind against the lofty ice walls, we lost oar headway. -Almost at the same moment we saw that the -bergs were "not at rest; that with a momentum of their own they - were -' bearing down npon the other ice, and that it mast be oar fate to be crushed between the two. Just then a broad aoonee-piece ot-4ow water-washed bergs 'came ' driving from the southward.!'- The ' thought ' flashed upon me of one of oar- escapes in Mel ville Bay, and as the soone moved rapid- ly close alongside us, McGary managed to plant an anohor on its slope-, and to hold on to it by a : whale-line, a It an anxious moment.' i Our : noble two horse, whiter than the pale horse that seemed to . be pursuing us, hauled " as bravely on; the spray dashing 'orer 'his windward . flanks, and his forehead plo ing up: tbe -lesser ice as if in scorn The bergs encroached upon as -as we ad vanced ; '. our channel .narrowed to width., of about . forty . feet ; ; wo braced the yards: to keep clear of . the impend ing ice-walls. We passed elear ; but it was a olose shave, so close' that 'Our port quarter boat would have been crushod if we bad nottaken'it from the davits, and ; found ourselves coder the lee' of a bergs, in comparatively open lead.
