L TUUL IlEItOlKE. T WAS A BRIGHT spring moroln when the signal at Mount Nelson an nounced a ship in tight, and imme diately the ye.low fag was hoisted at MuUrave b tte.-y, and proclaimed vte welcome news to the inhabitants of Hobart Town. At the period of my story all were exiles. Natlvee, save the dark race, which is fast disappearing before the white man, there were none. All, I repeat, were exiles, but all were not penal exile3. Tho exiles to whom I allude were those whom Stepdame Fortune had driven from their Fatherland, or whom the hope of winning her favor had al lured from It All theEe had left their loves and dearest Interests behind them, and all their dreams and wishes were directed to the fair fields and bright firesides of the'r childhood. ' It Is now far otherwise. Van Die man's Land, like other lands, has grown national, with the usual exclus ive prejudices and partialities. Beautiful girls and gallant youths, in Its eweet valleys, have ripened Into womanhood and manhood, have be come surrounded by a young progeny, and they love the land of their birth- If the approaching bark was an'.lcl pated by many a beat'ng heart in Ho bart Town and its vie nlty, what were the feelings of those on board the Dart, the gallant Bhip that had now been nearly five months from England? It carrl?d a mis. e lancous assem blage of passengers, and had touched at Cork to take In some women and children, who were going to Join their husbands and fathers In the colony. In all this freight of humanity thre were two women singularly remarka blethe one. Dora Callan, for beauty; the other, Bridget Ryan, for extreme ugliness, which would have been re pulsive had It not been redeemed by honesty, simplicity and good na ure. She had an Infant a few weeks old. to which she was a terider, watchful mother; but it did not engross her genial heart. She had a kind word for every one and a helping hand for all who needed her aid. The sick found her rpady to forego her reet to soothe their suffer ings, and the sorrowing never called upon her sympathy in vain, and it was soon the feeling of all on board to seek Bridget Ryan under any emergency or annoyance or distress. But, above all, she became to Dora Callan the very stay and prop of her existence. The young creature had come on board In bad health, and with the prospect of becoming a mother, a prospect realized before they were many weeks at sea. In her hour of trial who was beolde her? Bridget Ryan. When the new-born made Ita feeblo appeal to Its feeb'.e mother, who took it to a cherishing breast? Bridget Ryan. Amid all her own and her Infant's wants she found means to administer to the wants of the young mother and her nursling; amid all the claims upon her time and 10M, she found hours to devote to them. "Brjget Ryan," said Dora, "I shall never see tho far land we are seeking, and one Is waiting me there to whore it will be a tore sorrow. Here Is h!u last letter, which I have read every night after my prayers, and every morning as soon as It was light. He will be on the watch for our ship and among the first on board." "Heaven speed him. my woman," exclaimed the cheerful BrlJgtt. "And won't he be proud of the gift you have for him?" sho added, looking at the sleeping'child. "Oh, sure, and it is I must be at the merry meeting." "Who has such a right, Bridget? But it will never be." "Tuth, woman, dear. Tush I Don't talk euch nonsense, child. It is the wakeness that has come over you. Walt awhile, and a blithe christening we'll have when we are once on shore." The young mo her bowed her beauti ful face upon her pillow, and the heav ing of her breast revealed the emotion that convulsed her. After an effort ef composure, she raised herself In her bed and flung her arms around the neck of her friend. "Oh, on this wide, wide sea, where I thought to find only danger and sor row, I have found a friend like unto the mother I have left. You will have her blessing, Bridget, and his. Oh, that I might live to tell him all I owe you." "Now, Dora dear, If you go on In thld manner," said Bridget, struggling with emotion, and gently trying to disen gage herself, "what will I do? Sure; I shall be fit for nothing this blessed day and the babies, too why, we are changing places wl h them and crying as if they could not do It much better that we. Take heart, woman, dear, the boy will need all your care." "All yours, Bridget, all yours. Oh, tell me that you will never forsake him I I know It, I feel it, he will soon be alone with you have only you. Oh, let him creep to your heart when the salt seas cover hla mother. Nay, Bridget, you shall not unclasp my hands until I have your promise; say that in dan ger, in distress, in sickness, he shall be to you as your own." "Hoy Mother, te my witness," faint ly ejaculated Bridget. "He -shall have half of my heart, half of my ctrength. When I forego my hold of him, sor row be my portion. But you will live, Dora Callan, and my. child may call you mother by means of this boy of ours, for now he is mine, you see, and I mean to dispose of him." A faint smile played upon the lips of the sinking girl in answe. to this Ifr sportive sally, and then closing her eyed she folded her hands upon her breast In silent prayer. The prophetic spirit In which the young creature had spoken was soon apparent. A rapid change passed over the fair face; the power of utterance suddenly failed; but while life lingered her grateful and beseeching eyes wer raised to-"the face of Bridget, at whos breast the little creature so soon to b orphaned nes led In comfort. The next night a white hammock was lowered into the eea beneath the solemn starlight. The passengers and crew stood round while the captain read the funer. al service; his voice often faltered, and at Intervals a deep sob was heard; it burst from the bosom of Bridget Ryan, who, with bo;h children clasped In her arms, knelt upon the deck. When the solpmn ceremony was over and the fair form of Dora hal cunk many fathoms to IU deep and silent grave, a low wall of excessive anguish broke from the lips of Bridget. "Dora Callan, Dora Callan," she at length uttered, with a deep fervency of tone, which was in itself eloquence, "Why have you gone from me from me whose heart loved you like its life? But who may keep what the Great Maker wants? Br.ght be your place among the angels. Welcome be your fair face whero all is beautiful. Och! shall I ever forget how sweet you were, how kind, how loving? When you wake from your great winding sheet, Dora mine, may we who mourn you now meet you rejoicing." Then her voice sank till its murmurs became inaud ble. While rocking her self to and fro on the deck, she cow ered over the children and bathed them In tears. Impressed by the scene, all stood In deep silence, watching the subsiding struggle of her deep grief. Almo.-t unmarked, a change of weather had gradually come on, and a more than common activity on board declared that some exigency was ap proaching. Low winds seemed from afar gather ing clouds that 60on overspread the sky, till the ho'.low, dismal waillnga became long howlj and hoarse shrieks, and the darkness grew Into blackest night. Oh, for the pen of Cooper to portray the storm which broke above the devoted ship, while It reeled and staggered amid the rage of contending winds and rolling seas. The captain and crew did their duty firmly. Perhaps there la no energy, no cour age, superior to that of English sail ors; no sense of duty so high, so per fectly, so nobly, fulfilled. Vain were all their efforts; the sea surged above the yards, sweeping down on the doomrd bark, which would bravely rise again and again above the briny deluge. Desperately she plowed A RUSHING SEA. her way, till at midnight she became a total wreck on one of the small Lslandj in D'Entrecastrtaux's channel. The morning broke at length, but it came rather to reveal than to relieve their distress. When the vessel struck a shriek, compounded of many wild voices, pierced the thick darkness; the masts went by the board, a rushing tea swept over the deck, carrying many of the despairing wretches into the engulfing waters: but with the gray, drear light of morning. came a lull. The captain, who still survived, with some few of the passengers and crew, felt a deep anxiety for the fate of Bridget, and was Eeeklng her, Inquir ing for her, when she crept forth with the two chlldi eo In her arms. "The bravest heart on board, by heaven," he exclaimed, as he beheld her. "Hope on," he continued, springing forward, "we are be. ciibed; there are boats making toward us." At these words Bridget started to her feet, just as a tremendous wave struck the ship, and, sweeping the deck, carried her and the children overboard. ' Much is said of human selfishness In the emergencies of great danger, and much is, of course, exhibited; but so powerful bad Bridget's example and beauty of character impressed her fel low sufferers that the most vital Inter est was felt in her fate, and at this catastrophe many cried .a'.oud, "Sive her, save her!" while at the moment hopeless of saving themselves. The boats which had put off from Brune Island redoubled their effort. Bridget succeeded in grasping a frag ment of timber, and thus kept herself afloat; the heavy rain, which had been for some time falling, increasing, re freshed her, and the sea subsided, as if calmed by the tears of heaven. The cheering voices of the approaching men kept alive the pulses of her heart, and at last' Bridget and the children were rescued, the little helpless crea tures, wonderful to relate, alive. This, however, she tcarcely was her se!f; yet amid what was apparently the pangs of death, her sense of duty was still paramount. Carried on shore, soo'hlng voice and succoring hands were oon around her, but she made a fefb'o effort to re tain Ihe children, whi'e sho exelahsed, with what strength remained In her: "Michael CaHan!" . Th name was repeated aloud by those who marked her anxiety; e.nd Im mediately a young man wb-? had helped to man the boat that hail saved her pressed eagerly forward. . "Here am I," he cried; "what would you with Michael Callan?" He was directed to the dying trom f.n; he knelt down beside her. Bridget opened her eyes, whfta a noment before had been closing 16 the list exhaustion and falntness. "Are you here?" she asked. "I am Michael Callan." "Now the Father of Merc? and a?l His saints be praised." she Illicitly ejculated. "Michael Callan, he? is your child Dora's child!" And with these words her Ion?; vi talned energies forsook her, anA nhe sank Insensible into the arms v! the people near her. The etory soon spread througf; 'he colony, and by the time Bridget 'as restored to health and streng h the found herself possessed of a little, for tune. All who, like herself, had sunned tr-9 wreck, bore testimony to er Christian charity and hero'sm, ?.id fi'!m every quarter of the island eub scrlptlons in her behalf poured in.

For one bour he lay at lb bottom of a deserted mlno shaft andt was only saved by a dog that whined and howled at a neighbor's house. Just after a recent storm Mr. Smith wenl prospecting in. Deer canyon, a branch of the Big Tejunga, In the San Fer nando range. He was removing som timber about the top of an "old skaft, when tho rotton wood gave way and carried him to the bottom of the shaft. A heavy load of timber and earth fol lowed. iUrange to say, he was unin jured and lay free from ImmedJatsv danger in the dark, damp space left by the boards. Gloomy wore th thoughts that filled his mind as he lay there and thought of his past life an4 the friends he would never see again, for tho tthaft was one which had been, covered overhead and lost to the knowl edge of the neighborhood for years. Moreover, It was a mile and a half from the nearest house. 'Odce or twlcs he shouted, but his vo'ce sounded se pulchral as It cioed in muffled ,way between the overhanging walla and re verberated in his ears. For one hour he lay there in this cramped position, while gloomy thoughts passed la frightful procession through his mind. Fortunately, his little dog waa with him.

OFFICE-SEEKINO. The "civil service'' question la usu ally discussed from the point of view of good government. What Is the best mode cf appointment? Ought pollti to brt considered in selecting civil ser vants? Should the minor offers antf clerks have fixed terms or be retained during good behavior? Such are soma of the bratches of the general Ques tion. , There is another side to the queatlow that which concerns the Individual. In tho broadest terms it is this: Is position under government a desirable career for a young man? On tho one hand It is surely trua that no man occupies n nobler sta tion, or one In which he can better serve his fellow men, than he who helps make the laws, and he who dl rec's the execution of those law9. In. other words, the highest walks of po litical life are worthy of the ambition of the ablest and best citizens More over, no one reaches the heights save those who have started lower down and havo toiled up the ascent If a lowly position In the govern ment service gave opportunity to rtsa to a higher, or if occupvlng It stirrdi the ambition of him who had secured it, there could be no doubt that It would be well for young men to seek, office. Unfortunately it is' not so. There is a fascination not difficult to explain in drawing a salary fron government. Those who havo onca experienced it are apt to acquire a taste for offlce-holding almost aa hard to overcome as is the phys'oil appetlta for an intoxicant. Almost every 00 a of ua can call to mind at least ona person who. having been a clerk or petty officer under government, and having. lost his picca, la good for noth ing else. He, is willing, perhaps; to do tha dirtiest political work, and to becoroa a "toady? to any one who eon bl him bach Into a position where he may draw pay "trom the treasury. He can not content himself In . any private position nor even in business. That there ia a sacrifice of independ ence, and that ambition la too apt to become limited to a passion for retain ing what one has, are additional rea sons for thinking that, even under a civil scrvfC3 system administered ac cording to "reform ideas, a career therein is not one that should attract an relive, energetic young man. Tha case is far worse when civil servant are at the mercy of the "spoils'-' sys tem. A Fnltnre.
