A Finuch brig was ituniinr
from Toulon to Havre with a rich
cargo aud numerous iiasseners.
Off" the coSSt of ' lirptagiip it was
overtaken ly a siuhleii anil vitilent
storm. Cajit P , an exiei'ieneel
sailor, at once saw the danger whieh
threatened the ship on sueh a rocky
coast, and he gave orders to nut out
to sea; but the wind and wares
drove the brig violently towards the
shore, and notwithstanding all the
efforts of the ci.w, it continued to
get nearer land.
Among the most active on board
in doing all he could to help was lit
tle Jacoues, a lad twelve years old,
who was serving as cabin I toy m the
vessel. At times, when he disap
peared for a moment behind the
folds of a sail, the sailors thought
that he had fallen overboard ; ami
again, when a w ave threw him dow n
on the deck, they looked around to
see if .it had not carried away the
poor boy with it; but Jacques was
soon up again, unhurt.
" ily Mother," said he, smiling, to
an old sailor, " would lie frighteued
enough had she seen Jlte just now."
His mother, who lived at Havre,
! was very poor, and had a large fam-
ily. Jacques loved her tenderly,
and he was enjoying the prosjK'ct-of
carrying to her hisiittle treasure
I two live -trance pieces, which he had
! earned as his wages for the voyage.
Tin- brig wasbeateu about a w hole
day b the storm, and in spite of all
! the efforts of the crew, they could
not steer clear of the rocks on the
i coast, ily the gloom on the cap
I tain's brow it might be seen that he
I had little hope of saving the ship.

Ilea'.' gentlemen between the ages
of "eighteen anil ' forty-live," listen
to n lew wolds of gratuitous re
marks. When j ou make a social
all of an evening on a young lady,
go away at a reasonable hour. Say
you come at S o'clock, an hour and
a half is certainly as long as the
timst fascinating among you in con
versation can, or rat her ought to de
sire 1 1 use his charms. Two hours,
indeed, can be very pleasantly spent
w ith music, chess, or other games to
lend a variety ; but, kind sirs, by
no iiieeim stav lousrer. Make short-
i er calls and come oftener. A girl

j will enjoy it better, and really
value your acquaintance more. Just
i conceive the agony of a girl who,
well knowing the feeling of father
and mother upon the subject, hears
the clock strike ten, and yet must
sit on the edge of her chair, in mor
tal terror lest papa should put his
oil repeated threat into execution
jthat of inviting the ge lcnicn to
, breakfast. And we girl understand
' it all by experience, e I know what
; it is to dread the prognostic of dis-
pleasure. In such cases a sigh of
' relief .generally . accompanies t h e
j closing of the door behind the gal
' hint, and one don't get over the foci
! ins of trouble till safe in the arms
i of Morpheus. I'vcn then sometimes
j their (beams are troubled with some
' phantom of an angry father and dis
; tressed (for all parties) mother, 'ill
j because a young man will make a
! longer call than he ought to.
i Now, young gentlemen friends,
I'll tell you what we girls will do.
! For an hour and a halt we will be
most nresistably charming and las
filiating. Then beware, monosylla
ble responses will lie all you need ex
pect ; and if, when the limits shall
have been passed, a startling query
i shall be heard coming down stairs,
'Isn't it time to close up!'' you
must consider it righteous punish
ment, and taking vour hat, depart.

; e cr should atteuqit to run such a
risk would certainly in- tiasneu to
pieces."
" Well," said the captain, in a low
tone, " we must all die together."
At this moment there was a slight
stir among the sailors, who were si-
" Yes, yeV.'iid some of the sail
ors round him ; it is disgraceful to
us all that the little cabin boy should
se.t us an example of courage ; and
it would be a sad thing if the brave
child should dkrfor old men like us,
who have liyed our time. Let us
stop him !"
They rushed to the side of the
vessel, but it. was too late. They
found there only he sailor who had
aided Jacques in his preiarations,
and who was unrolling the cord that
was fastened to the body of the he
roic boy. They all leaned over the
side of the vessel to see what w as
going to happen, and a few quietly
wiped away a tear wliich would not
be restrained. p
At first nothing was seen but
w aves of white foam, mountains of
water, which seenjl.tO rise as hiali
as the niast, THid then fell down with
a thundering roar.i "Soon the prac
ticed eye ht the sailors perceived a
little black point rising above the
waves, and then again distance pre
vented tTiPTu from distinquishing it
at all. TUey anxiously watched the
cord, and tried to guess, by its quick
er or slower movement, the fate of
hiin.who was unrolling it.
Sometimes the cord was unrolled
rapidly; "P, what a brave fellow!"
they HJiiil,'. "see how quickly he
swims !" -At aunther time the un
rolling of -the bait if string stopped
siiddenly:.'"Po(rf thy," they srai'l.
"he has been ' Viwned or dashed
against the rock V
This anxiety lasted more than an
hour; the ball of string continued
to lie unrolled, but sit unequal pe
riods. Atleiij-Th it slippr-
ovrr the side of the vMe"U auT 'of
ten, fell' as if 'slackened. They
thought Jacqifi must have much dif
fleultv in irettin. through the surf
on the coast; " r '
rerhapa it 'i&.'&lic body of the
poor boy that Jke sea is tossing
backwards and forwards in this way."
said some of the sailors. '
The captain was deeply grieved
that he liad permitted the child to
make the attempt; and, notwith

to be thiiikhig ,nure of the boy than

At the suns t of a sultry day, I

her story. Her husband had teen
so severely wounded in the leg as to
make amputation necessary; and
she hail left home with a hundred
dollars, which she had "borrowed
from a friend, and had Pome all the

She had never travelled before,'
and had been troubled so much ia

and her nervous system seemed quite

dear that she found it imiossible to

her to stay there The surgeon said
it would lie weeks before her hus
band would be able to go home. " I

cried, wringing her hands, and sob
bitug bitterly.

and see her husband, while I thought

had tried to divert his attention from

Hattie; I shall go next." And he
did. I canuot calmly recall that .
parting scene. You who have laid
a dear one under the sad, near your

of her grief. Hut you who havey
like her, left the dear dust to mingle
with that of strangers, can realize
