A THRILLING STORY. " Come Annie, come Jenny—sisters. Come aboard my ship, and we'll have a jolly nioe saU thia afternoon. I'll be a aea captain like my father, and show how he sails that great packet ship across th« ocean. Come girls, got in—^Annio, you shall ba my mate and lit¬ tle Jenny shall be our cook and steward. The speaker was a handsome, fair haired, rosy-cheeked boy, with bright, laughing blue eyes, about ten year old, who, during his ad¬ dress, was busily engEiged in rigging the mast and sail to a ship's launch which was made fast to the beach, in one of those secluded, picturi>pque little coves or inlets, with which tbe south shore of Lnog Island, between Fire Island aud Rockaway, is ao plentifoUy in¬ dented. The boy's companions were two little girls of eight and six years, beaatifal as angels, and ao exactly like thfir brother in every feature, that tbey .^eemed as perfect copies— all but the loug sonny ringlets—of his ex¬ quisite face. AnniM, tLe eldest girl, bimnded lightly into tbe boat at her brother's first iuvitation, and began assisting tiim about the sail. But lit¬ tle Jenny—who was tugging along a great basket filled with pies, sweet cakes and fruits^ wbich they had brought from a beautiful cot¬ tage not far off, for a little piunlc dinner— hesitated in sitwuce till her brother urged her j to his purpose, steered his tiny bark on away, again to g^t in th« boat, when she began to ! before tbe fierce howling blast, argue with him tbus; ' Once only he faltered ; and that waa when " 0, Willie, dou't let us go in the boat to- ' the launch quivering for a moment on the day. There ia no much wind, aud we might '¦ crest of a mighty surge, and then went reel- be ." ger of he^oapsixlng, to prevent whioh WiUie. Witt the asBlstanoe of his "two aistera, set about reefing the sail' Thia was soon aocompliflted.and again the boat was steered as close aa she would go, which st the best was atUl better than eight points, 80 that with her great leeway, WllUe soon fonnd that iu spite ofhia utmost eklll, hia craft was drifting rapidly out to fiea. Nearer and nearer rolled on the embattled legions of black storm olouda ; louder came the fearfulthunder orBsheB,more vivid gleam¬ ed the red liglitning's flash, wilder the shriek¬ ing gale swept by, howling and screaming dread notes of terror to the young voyagers. The water—which, in with the land was quite smooth—began to heave up the foam crested waves here and there all around them curling over aud breaking all feather-white in long lines of hissing spray. Great round drops of rain came patting down in the water, and pelting on the thwarts and gun vales of the boat with a sharp, click noise, that emote startingly dismal on tlie ears of the three lit¬ tle ocean wanderers. Young as he was, WilHe retained in his mind much of what he had heard his father relate at various times, in regard to the man- egemeat of a ahip in a gale ; and tha knowl¬ edge he had thns gained in theory, now stood in good atead. He had heard of keeping a Bhip before the wind in a squall, and of scad- ding in a gale—tbe dull sailing, clumsy boat was his ahip. Tbe theory which he had learned he proceeded to put in practice ; and when the first mad gust of the yelling torna¬ do fell on the launch, she was going dead be¬ fore the wind—otherwia** her sail woald have been blown away, or ahe would have been swamped inau lnstaH.t. Aa it was, ahe went flaahing on through the wild atorm and scream¬ ing surges, soudding away riglit out into the mighty wildemeas of waters. Ten, fifteen minntea went by, and still the war of the elements went on iu their terrible fury ; and still the brave little fellow stood at the helm, bare-headed, his cap blown away, bis clothes dripping with water, aud steady '•Yott are a little coward, Jenny, to be afraid,' iuterrupted the yoang captain impa¬ tiently. 'It'a the pleasantest day we have bad for a month; and it's ao late in the fall, that if we don't go to-day, I am sure we shall not get another chance this year. Come Jenny, don't be frightened—^jump in." "0, I am not at all afraid, brother,'and child as she was, Jenny's cheeks glowed for a few moments with a deeper vermillion tint, at the implied question of courage by her hrother. 'I'm not in the least afraid Willie. But you know that mother has often told ua that we must not go in the boat when it blows hard; all I'm afraid of is (lisobeying her." *Then you may come into the boat with ing and plunging, standing almost on end, down in the hissing vortex or liquid ravine. Then, a single qnick cry of horror escaped the boy's lips ; but the next moment Jenny crept up to bis aide and laid her hand upon his shoulder and spoke in a low soothing tone, and almost instantly called baok his confidence, and elioted from his lipa a cry of admiration for his sister's beroiam. " Don't be frightened, dear Willie," spoke the little angel, "Mother saya that God watches over people that live on the seas — And don't yon remember, brother, how often onr dear mother has told us that Jeaus loves little children f If God watches ua and Jesus lov:!S us, we shall be aafe. So don't be afraid." Night—dark, wild and gloomy night came down upon the world of waters, and still tbe out fear sister, for mother told me I might j terrible tornado raged iu all its horrora of sail tbia afternoon, it waa not five minutes ;'wild ligbtning, rain and thunder ; and there, before wo left the house." i ^^ *^« ^^^^^ °P^° ^o*^ w** ^^^^ ^^^^^ the hap- "Yes, I know that, Willie ; but that w.is ' two houra ago, when it was calm. It blows | a great deal harder now, and I'm snre mother would not like us to go away from the shore in the boat when there is such a high wind." "0, nonsense, Jenny; I bave heen all around the cave wheu it blew a great deal harder than this. Mother, you know, aays I am the best sailor along the coast, and just as well able to jndge when the weather ia fit to go on a cruise aa she ia. Come, sister, we can't get drowned, for the water ia so shallow at ebb tide, and with tbis west wind, that we could wade anywhere about the cave." Thua perauaded, Jenny passed the basket to her brother, and then clambering into the boat herself she took a seat beside Annie in the stem sheets, and soou the launch was under way. She waa a great, heavy, clumsy boat—as all of her class usually are, with a single lug sail of heavy canvas, altogether illy calculated for a pleasure craft. But little Willie Walton managed with oonsumate skill for so young a commander, and they had several stretches across the cove, when as they were passing the inlet that opened out sea-wards, Annie's eyes rest' ed upou the bright blue w&vea of the Atlan¬ tic, far out beyond the discolored water along the coast, aud clapping her hands with a aud- den ecstacy of infantile joy, exclaimed : " 0, Wil.ie, Willie I let ua go out there and sail on that beautiful ocean 1—Won't it he grand? So muoh prettier than this dirty lit¬ tle cove, with the bare aand banka all about us." Willie sprang to hifi feat, and gazing to the Offing, hia eyea lit up with the enthuaiaam caught from hia sister's words and he replied: " We'll go out there and have a glorious sail—^just like tbe great ships aud steamboats that we aee go by." "0, dont'l gD out there, brotherl" inter¬ posed little Jenny, her cheek growing pale as the delicate lily. "Don't go, Willie; mother will be angry with us." "Mother will do no auch thing, Jenny.— She will be pround of ua to think that we have been out on the ocean ail alone. I can easily come back with the flood tide tbat will aoon be setting in." And without further I argument, the reckless boy pnt his helm up, eased off the sheet, and away out throngh the inlet, towards the line of blue water out¬ side, went the launch, hurried along before the strong breeze whieh added to the strength of the last quarter ebb, bore her away at a speed that soon sunk the yellow ridge to a mere line along tbe margin of the wide ocean, and the white cottages with Venitian blinds, into toy honses dotted with bright green specks. The colored water—which appeared from the cove only a narrow strip dividing the white strip from the deep azure of the ocean beyond—expanded into a broad belt of several miles in width. But with the flne breeze and strong outset of the tide the boat sped on ; while the novelty of th«ir poaitiou and the uatural excitement induced by it caused the time and lipaoe to fly unheeded by the young voyagers, and a sadden dread oome upon thorn, as having gained the blue water, tbey looked back towards the shore aud saw hills, fields, bouses, and orchards blending and growing indistinct, and fading in the distance. There was a aense of lonely utter helplessness, suddenly shadowing their bright visions ; and tbere was a word of pa¬ thos in littlo Jenny's low voice, aa she laid her hand gently on her brother's arm, and looking up in hia eyes whispered : " 0, Willie, let us go home. Mother would feel very sorry if ahe knew we had come away out here SO far." Willie bent down and kissed bis sister's pale cheek, as he replied : " We will go back Jenny; I was naughty to come off so far from land. Bnt don't cry siater. lamsorry. Dou'tblameme,! couldn't help it; I loved thesea too much." " No, we won't blame yon, Willie; only let us hurry back; for see yonder is a black oloud coming np in tbe west, and I am afraid if we do not hurry home we——" The child's speech waa arrested by a groan of anguish from her brother, whose eye for the first time had been directed towards a hank of dark murky clouds heaving np in the western board, by his sister's remark, and at the very instant that the vision first rested upon the black pall, a chain of bril¬ liant zig-zag lightning arose, quivering along its upper edge, and a few momenta later,ther6 came to their ears a low muttered thunder. The young captain had hauled hia little vessel by the wind, but the clumsy thing lay broad off under ill-fitted aail. Besides the wind, wliicli she had soaroely felt while run¬ ning off before it, had now Increased so much, thtt aht ICMled 0?«r tiUtber* vm g>9«( daa- FACT. FTTH AND PAHCT. The Cleveland Register makes the following good hit: 'Whether Queeu Victoria's red petticoats will beoome a faahion in America is yet to be known. It is certain, however, that the attempts of 'some of her male pre¬ decessors to introduoe their red coats into this country did not succeed.' Au Irish magistrate having occanion to write the word 'usage,* contrived to spell it without using a single letter of the origiual word; his improved orthography was yowz- itch. When some remarks were made on Place the blocks far enough out for the falls similar feats, he averred that nobody could to drop about a fathom olear ofthe ship, and , apell with pens made from the quills of Irish then reeve ou good sail geer, bring both ends ,' geese. on one deck, and the other led along for a ' Pr.

Theu taming to the chief mate, he con¬ tinued: "Mr. Windsor, you will brace tbe yards all: square, which, without making any more sail, i will send the ship ttirough the water some¬ thing faster thau what the boat ia going.— Having done this, rig aingle whips two of each ou the lower yards—on the larboard side. ... 120,200 00 26.M0OO 10.000 00 4.000 00 19.1.10 no i.Oonou 17.1 (10 52.711 50 3,3.16 IS 16,043 30 less young voyagera speeding on and away, right out into the very heart of the Atlantic ocean. We will bid them adieu and glance back to their home—to their fond mother, rendered desolate in heart by the dread ca¬ lamity that had fallen upon her in the loss of her children. At the moment wheu the children firat em¬ barked Mrs. Walton had glanced out towards the cove, and for a few moments watched them with all a mother's fond delight aa she aaw them sailing to and fro on the quiet wa¬ ters of the^bay; and then some visitor cal¬ led and she forgot her children until just as the atorm came down, when a neighbor rusb- ed in witb the heart-rending intelligence that the launch had beeu aeen only a few miuutes previous, several miles out at sea. The first terrible shock almoat killed her, but soon rallying her woman's energy and mother's love she rushed from her home, re¬ gardless of the furious storm, aroused her neighbors and besought them with all the eloquence called up by tbe deep anguish^ of her riven heart, to help her recover her lost darlings. There was no vessel at Rockaway or Falk- ner's Island, and to venture out to sea in such. a storm with auch crafts aa were along the shore, were worse than madness, and imme¬ diate despatches were sent to New York, not only to the ownera of the ship commanded hy Captain Walton, but the Pilots; and with¬ iu an hour after the news had reached the city, two of the staunchest pilot boats, man¬ ned by extra picked crews of gallant souls, were under way, and speeding on their awift winged course in search of the ocean lost darlings. Leaving her there iu a atate of fevered anxiety, hoping in the very teeth of despair, we too, will go forth into the wild, yelling gale, to look upon a most sublime ocean picture. It waa an hour past midnight—dark as tbe deepest, gloomieat cells of an inquisitorial dungeon, save wheu the vivid lightning'a flash lit up the Cimmerian blackness with a glare rivalling that of the brightest noonday sun. Some ninety milea to the eastward of Sandy Hook lay hove to, a noble ship, inward bound ' in oue of the most terrific gales that ever swept along the northern coast of America.— The gale had just set in an hour before sun¬ down, and ever since dark the ship had been hove to under the shortest possible canvass, within half an hour after the ship reaches New York, you shall have a hundred dollars.'* " And now Mr. Kinsley, will you please call upou the second mate aud all tbe gentlemen passengers ?" I want tbem to ataud by the whips in order to assist the sailors, if neces¬ sary. We must aave those ohildreu, and do it, too, without the boat coming iu contact with the ship, as that would be instant de¬ struction to it and them in such a sea." " All ready the whips sir 1" came from the mate, and at that moment the third mate's voice rang out from the jib boom end:—Boat right ahead, steady as you ago !" " Now then my lads, who'll go into tbese running bowlines witb me, and stand by to pick up tbe children ?" anxiously inquired the captain. " I air; I, I," came from a dozen ready ! Bailors, in a moment: | "Thank you, my lads; but I only want] five. I will go in one ofthe bowliuea myself," | The selections were soon made, and there tbey atood in the fore-main mizzen chains— the commander and five noble fellows—with the bow-lines under their arms, ready to risk their lives to save tbe three children. " Steady 1 stand hy now! Here they come —look out!" screamed the oflScer from the jib boom, and a momeut later, the dim out¬ lines of a boat loomed np by the lee cat bead. Another moment of breathless suapenae, and the boat was abreast of the fore chains. "Stand by the forward whips I Look out there in the main chains. Veer away men. Now Harry ; now, and down went the captain and bis companion into the boat. A breach later aod a shout came ringing up look out main and mizzen chaina. Sway away on deck," and up by the ran came the two men, each grasping a child in his arms. " Ay, ay, sir. All right," answered a brave fellow, scrambling iu on tbe deck, with little Jenny grasped tight by her clotbes. " Father," exclaimed tbe little girl, clasp¬ ing tbe captain about tbe neck, "Father i Father," echoed back two treble voice.^i. " Almighty God, I tbank thert. Saved— saved—saved !" and Capt. Leator Walton Bank fainting on the deck. He knew the children were bia own from the moment tbey passed the ahip'a stern, and his indomitable self-control had borne him np until they were rescued; and wben thp reaction came, bo sank down inaeaalhle. At au hour before sunset the following day the ahip was at ber berth in New York, and the meeting between the distressed mother and ber children tbere, in the cabin of ber husband's ship, is too sacred a picture to he profaned by a mere pen and ink copy. BoTs AND GiBLS.—We agree with Life Il¬ lustrated, when it says, boys must have tradea and profeaaions. That is right. Every boy should understand that he ia to leam well to do some kind of business ; that he is to earn his living, and make himself uaeful in the world. That be has a rich father, is no rea¬ son why he should live in idleness. Train the boy to a useful occupation. Yes, if you would have him happy and honored, if you would make bim of the least eonaequence in the world, if you would save him from vice, miaery, and ruin, /rain him to industry. No one sbould live iu the world without sharing its common burdens and common joys—the reaponsibilities of recip¬ rocal aervice and sympathy. Boys are bred to buainess. Why are not girls ? Are tbeir minds in lesa danger of ruuniug to waste ? lesa fertile, ao that the evil whioh enemies scatter in unoccupied soil, will not take root and yield, a harvest of tares ? No ; as tbe world is, girls can not be per¬ fectly pure without occupation. The unem¬ ployed mindis uot happy. Every gtrl ahould he taught some branoh of industry, should beoome skillful in some kind of work, either mental or physical, by which she can sup¬ port herself honorably. No healthy grown girl sbould be satisfied to remain a tax on her father. Are her parents' means small F By the teaching aud practice of some art, she cau earn her money, and add much to tbe oomfort and the charms of home. She will be proud to do tbia, if she has been train¬ ed to feel so. She owes it to her own aoul, aa means of its elevation aud growth. Have the parents ample means ? Still, she could not merely exiat, of no more account thau a china toy or a bit of gliding. She can share the mother's duties, becoming ber right hand, and tbe light of tbe father's eyes. At the same time, ahe should be thoroughly versed in certaiu branches of either .Att or ' Oh, dear Sir,' replied J., 'it is for that very reason for thoae who tio won't lend lend me a farthing.' The most astounding instance of a man's regard for his word waa recently gives by a man who killed bis wife, whom he did not like. When aaked 'why he didn't go off and leave her instead of killing her,' be replied, jocosely, that 'he had promised on the wed. ding day to live with her until death should part them, aud he wasn't tho mau to break his word I' One of onr contemporaries disposes of the virtues of early rising as follows: 'We bave watched (be saya) those fallows who are early risers, and aa a general thing they are the first chaps who go to the groceries of a morning. It ia all moonshine about the smartest and greateat men being tbe early riseis. It might have been so in old timea, but uow-a-daya whou you see a chap moving about very early you may be certain be is after a drink " Old Rodger waa visiting a frieud who had a remarkably fiue little girl, about three yeara old, famoua for smart sayings. As usual she was abowu off before our esteemed friend. " What ia papa?" said the "parent," in or¬ der to bring out the precocious reply. " Papa's a humbug," said the juvenile. " 1 declare," said old Rodger, " I never in my life aaw so young a child with ao mature a judgement." To make hena lay perpetually—hit them a well directed blow on tbe bead witb a club. Mra.

'Well, you won't have far to go,* said tbo phlegmatic mau. 'Oh, Mr. Grubblea!' exclaimed a young mother, 'shouldu't yoa like to have a family of roay children about your knee ?' 'No, ma'am,' said the disagreeable old bachelor: ' I'd rather have a lot of yellow boys in my pocket." A young lady bad a parasol carried away by a guat of wind.

Downing, the great oyster purveyor, on being asked if the hard timea bad affected hia buainess ou New Year's day, replied: "Not at all; yer see: I gin out that anybody what didn't have oyaters on his table would be conaidered dead broke ; aud the consequence was tbat 1 sold more oyaters than I ever did afore." A lady was recently teachiugaboy toapoll. The boy spelt " c-o-l-d," but could not pro. nouuce it. In vain his teacher asked him to think and try. At last she aaked him " What do yon get when you go out upon the wet pavement on a rainy day and wet your feet ?" '^Tgeta a licking."

" Do jou think there's any danger to us or the ship, captain?" inquired one of the three passengers who stood near the com¬ mander of the ship, partly sheltered from the storm by the projecting roof of the round house. " Not the least, Mr. Kinsley. Yon are as safe here as you would beat yourown house iu New York, She ia a bran new ship, and I had no opportunity of trying her hove to before; but I am perfectly satisfied with her behavior. In fact, I never saw any craft eon- duct heriJelf quite as well in a hurricane like this. " 'Tis a terrible night, however, and God help those who may chance to be ont in a smaller craft than ours t For the last hour I have baen thinking of my wifa and children. My wife will not sleep a wink to night. She never cau in a storm like this when I am not at home. I was oast away once on the Long Island shore, and not half a mile from home, in juat anch a gale, only it was from south¬ west, I would give a hundred dollars'to be at home only for my wife's sake. Bat we must—my God, what is that ?" A oontinnoos flash of lightning lit up the flurrounding space, and as darkness Shut in again, a faint hut clear and distinct—"Ship Ahoy!" uttered by a female or a cbUd, oame down upon the blast from directly to wind- ward. A moment after the hail waa repeated, and another flash of lightning revealed a boat driving square down before the gale, and almost nuder the ship's qnarter. Bre one oould count five, the shrill, quivering cry came up from the boat as it shot past the ship not three fathoms clear ofthe rudder. "Merciful Heaven I There are three chil¬ dren in that boat 1" yelled. Mr, Kinsley, who with the Captain, was peering down over the taffrail, aa the boat flew past. " Hard up your helm, my man," said the captain^ In a voice as calm sa man's voice could be, and then calling to the chief and third mates, who were hoth on deck, he in¬ formed them of the faot that a small open boat, with three ohUdrsn in it, had juat gone past, and then gave hie orders. Mr. Casey, please get out on the flying jib- boom and keep a look out for the boat, and mind, Mr. Cauy, If w* coma up with tt yon Science, that iu caae of leverses, so common now-a-days, she cau gain an hone.st, inde¬ pendent livelihood. All girls shoald be thoronghly taught all the neoeaaary detaila of houaekeeping—else, they shame their mothers, and they will bring misery on their own families. The needl«, broom, and duster are not the aole imple¬ ments of induatry adapted to woman. The pen ahe has taktjn. By the pencil she haa 1 aurpaaaed hor brother. The marble, beneath her fingers, givea birth to beauty-=0 exquisite as to draw tears from the eyes of stern men. Let her go on. She can, with perfect pro¬ priety, as she becomes conscious of inclination and capacity, become physician, merchant, lecturer—anything good for which God has endowed her. Bnt some ateady occupatlun she ahonld have. Train girls to definite and uaeful etnploy- ment, if you would render them good and happy. Familiarize them, early, with the idea tbat they are to become skillful iu sotne art or profession—that they are to be adepts in some useful work. Thug, they will be helps meet for their brothers, and the bles¬ sing of humanity. Charles Lamb's 'WARSisG.—Charles Lamb tells his aad experience aa a warning to young men, in the following language: " The waters have gone over me. But out of the black depths, conld I be heard, I would cry oat to all those who have but set a foot in the perilous flood. Conld tha youth to whom the flavor of his wine is delicious as the opening scenes of life, or the entering upon some newly discovered paradise, look into my desolation aud be made to under¬ stand what a dreary thing it is when a man shall feel himself going down a precipice with open eyes and passive will—to see his de¬ struction and have no power to stop it, aud yet feel it jill the way emanating from him¬ self; to see all goodii neas emptied out of him, and yet not able lo forget a time when it was otherwiae; to bear about the piteous speotaole ot his own min; could be see my fevered eye, feverish with the laat night'a drinking, and feverishly looking for to-night's repetition of the folly; conld he but feel the body of the death out of whioh I cry, hourly with feebler outcry, to be delivered—it were enough to make him dash the sparkling beverage to the earth in all the pride of ita mantling temp¬ tation." If you have a young friend who may be in danger of acquiring an appetite for strong drink, invite his attention to Charles Lamb's drevlfal experi«nc«. « Goin' After Recbdits.—Captain Wallen started down from the Dallea to Vancouver, to bring up a party of recruits to fight the lo¬ comotive Indians. He stopped for the night at the Cascades, in the house of an old man called "Uncle Sammy," an inquisitive old fel¬ low, about eifihty-s)x, and deaf asa haddock. After supper, the old man aud woman, and Walleu drew up chairs around a blazing wood Ure. The old man immediately commenced applying the brake, (good expression for pump!) * What are yegoiu, daowu to the maouth of the river for ?' ' After recruits,' replied Walleu, at top of his voice. 'Hey?' ' After re-cruita!' roared Wallen again. 'Can't hear ye.' Then the old lady moved rouud, aud pat¬ ting her mouth to the old man's ear, shouted, in a voice that would bave done credit to Stentor after he'd got a little in yeara: * He's agoin; daowu—arter re-cruits—sugar —and—coffee—and sich !* A Good Un.—We heard the other day a capital anecdote of a witty clergyman of this city, who is said never to come off aecond best in a jocular encounter : As one day he waa paaaing down one ofthe streets of a large village in the. State, where he waa settled, he waa observed by some waggish hangers on at a pablic house whioh he was approaching. One of these fellows, knowing that the reverend gentleman waa a 'hard caae' at a joke, aaid that he would bet them drinka for all hands that he could head Mr. H— .

THE YOTOG VOYAGBKS.
A THRILLING STORY.
" Come Annie, come Jenny—sisters. Come aboard my ship, and we'll have a jolly nioe saU thia afternoon. I'll be a aea captain like my father, and show how he sails that great packet ship across th« ocean. Come girls, got in—^Annio, you shall ba my mate and lit¬ tle Jenny shall be our cook and steward.
The speaker was a handsome, fair haired, rosy-cheeked boy, with bright, laughing blue eyes, about ten year old, who, during his ad¬ dress, was busily engEiged in rigging the mast and sail to a ship's launch which was made fast to the beach, in one of those secluded, picturi>pque little coves or inlets, with which tbe south shore of Lnog Island, between Fire Island aud Rockaway, is ao plentifoUy in¬ dented.
The boy's companions were two little girls of eight and six years, beaatifal as angels, and ao exactly like thfir brother in every feature, that tbey .^eemed as perfect copies— all but the loug sonny ringlets—of his ex¬ quisite face.
AnniM, tLe eldest girl, bimnded lightly into tbe boat at her brother's first iuvitation, and began assisting tiim about the sail. But lit¬ tle Jenny—who was tugging along a great basket filled with pies, sweet cakes and fruits^ wbich they had brought from a beautiful cot¬ tage not far off, for a little piunlc dinner— hesitated in sitwuce till her brother urged her j to his purpose, steered his tiny bark on away, again to g^t in th« boat, when she began to ! before tbe fierce howling blast, argue with him tbus; ' Once only he faltered ; and that waa when
" 0, Willie, dou't let us go in the boat to- ' the launch quivering for a moment on the day. There ia no much wind, aud we might '¦ crest of a mighty surge, and then went reel- be ."
ger of he^oapsixlng, to prevent whioh WiUie. Witt the asBlstanoe of his "two aistera, set about reefing the sail'
Thia was soon aocompliflted.and again the boat was steered as close aa she would go, which st the best was atUl better than eight points, 80 that with her great leeway, WllUe soon fonnd that iu spite ofhia utmost eklll, hia craft was drifting rapidly out to fiea.
Nearer and nearer rolled on the embattled legions of black storm olouda ; louder came the fearfulthunder orBsheB,more vivid gleam¬ ed the red liglitning's flash, wilder the shriek¬ ing gale swept by, howling and screaming dread notes of terror to the young voyagers. The water—which, in with the land was quite smooth—began to heave up the foam crested waves here and there all around them curling over aud breaking all feather-white in long lines of hissing spray. Great round drops of rain came patting down in the water, and pelting on the thwarts and gun vales of the boat with a sharp, click noise, that emote startingly dismal on tlie ears of the three lit¬ tle ocean wanderers.
Young as he was, WilHe retained in his mind much of what he had heard his father relate at various times, in regard to the man- egemeat of a ahip in a gale ; and tha knowl¬ edge he had thns gained in theory, now stood in good atead. He had heard of keeping a Bhip before the wind in a squall, and of scad- ding in a gale—tbe dull sailing, clumsy boat was his ahip. Tbe theory which he had learned he proceeded to put in practice ; and when the first mad gust of the yelling torna¬ do fell on the launch, she was going dead be¬ fore the wind—otherwia** her sail woald have been blown away, or ahe would have been swamped inau lnstaH.t. Aa it was, ahe went flaahing on through the wild atorm and scream¬ ing surges, soudding away riglit out into the mighty wildemeas of waters.
Ten, fifteen minntea went by, and still the war of the elements went on iu their terrible fury ; and still the brave little fellow stood at the helm, bare-headed, his cap blown away, bis clothes dripping with water, aud steady
'•Yott are a little coward, Jenny, to be afraid,' iuterrupted the yoang captain impa¬ tiently. 'It'a the pleasantest day we have bad for a month; and it's ao late in the fall, that if we don't go to-day, I am sure we shall not get another chance this year. Come Jenny, don't be frightened—^jump in."
"0, I am not at all afraid, brother,'and child as she was, Jenny's cheeks glowed for a few moments with a deeper vermillion tint, at the implied question of courage by her hrother. 'I'm not in the least afraid Willie. But you know that mother has often told ua that we must not go in the boat when it blows hard; all I'm afraid of is (lisobeying her."
*Then you may come into the boat with
ing and plunging, standing almost on end, down in the hissing vortex or liquid ravine. Then, a single qnick cry of horror escaped the boy's lips ; but the next moment Jenny crept up to bis aide and laid her hand upon his shoulder and spoke in a low soothing tone, and almost instantly called baok his confidence, and elioted from his lipa a cry of admiration for his sister's beroiam.
" Don't be frightened, dear Willie," spoke the little angel, "Mother saya that God watches over people that live on the seas — And don't yon remember, brother, how often onr dear mother has told us that Jeaus loves little children f If God watches ua and Jesus lov:!S us, we shall be aafe. So don't be afraid."
Night—dark, wild and gloomy night came down upon the world of waters, and still tbe
out fear sister, for mother told me I might j terrible tornado raged iu all its horrora of sail tbia afternoon, it waa not five minutes ;'wild ligbtning, rain and thunder ; and there, before wo left the house." i ^^ *^« ^^^^^ °P^° ^o*^ w** ^^^^ ^^^^^ the hap-
"Yes, I know that, Willie ; but that w.is ' two houra ago, when it was calm. It blows | a great deal harder now, and I'm snre mother would not like us to go away from the shore in the boat when there is such a high wind." "0, nonsense, Jenny; I bave heen all around the cave wheu it blew a great deal harder than this. Mother, you know, aays I am the best sailor along the coast, and just as well able to jndge when the weather ia fit to go on a cruise aa she ia. Come, sister, we can't get drowned, for the water ia so shallow at ebb tide, and with tbis west wind, that we could wade anywhere about the cave."
Thua perauaded, Jenny passed the basket to her brother, and then clambering into the boat herself she took a seat beside Annie in the stem sheets, and soou the launch was under way.
She waa a great, heavy, clumsy boat—as all of her class usually are, with a single lug sail of heavy canvas, altogether illy calculated for a pleasure craft.
But little Willie Walton managed with oonsumate skill for so young a commander, and they had several stretches across the cove, when as they were passing the inlet that opened out sea-wards, Annie's eyes rest' ed upou the bright blue w&vea of the Atlan¬ tic, far out beyond the discolored water along the coast, aud clapping her hands with a aud- den ecstacy of infantile joy, exclaimed :
" 0, Wil.ie, Willie I let ua go out there and sail on that beautiful ocean 1—Won't it he grand? So muoh prettier than this dirty lit¬ tle cove, with the bare aand banka all about us."
Willie sprang to hifi feat, and gazing to the Offing, hia eyea lit up with the enthuaiaam caught from hia sister's words and he replied: " We'll go out there and have a glorious sail—^just like tbe great ships aud steamboats that we aee go by."
"0, dont'l gD out there, brotherl" inter¬ posed little Jenny, her cheek growing pale as the delicate lily. "Don't go, Willie; mother will be angry with us."
"Mother will do no auch thing, Jenny.— She will be pround of ua to think that we have been out on the ocean ail alone. I can easily come back with the flood tide tbat will aoon be setting in." And without further I argument, the reckless boy pnt his helm up, eased off the sheet, and away out throngh the inlet, towards the line of blue water out¬ side, went the launch, hurried along before the strong breeze whieh added to the strength of the last quarter ebb, bore her away at a speed that soon sunk the yellow ridge to a mere line along tbe margin of the wide ocean, and the white cottages with Venitian blinds, into toy honses dotted with bright green specks. The colored water—which appeared from the cove only a narrow strip dividing the white strip from the deep azure of the ocean beyond—expanded into a broad belt of several miles in width. But with the flne breeze and strong outset of the tide the boat sped on ; while the novelty of th«ir poaitiou and the uatural excitement induced by it caused the time and lipaoe to fly unheeded by the young voyagers, and a sadden dread oome upon thorn, as having gained the blue water, tbey looked back towards the shore aud saw hills, fields, bouses, and orchards blending and growing indistinct, and fading in the distance. There was a aense of lonely utter helplessness, suddenly shadowing their bright visions ; and tbere was a word of pa¬ thos in littlo Jenny's low voice, aa she laid her hand gently on her brother's arm, and looking up in hia eyes whispered :
" 0, Willie, let us go home. Mother would feel very sorry if ahe knew we had come away out here SO far."
Willie bent down and kissed bis sister's pale cheek, as he replied :
" We will go back Jenny; I was naughty to come off so far from land. Bnt don't cry siater. lamsorry. Dou'tblameme,! couldn't help it; I loved thesea too much."
" No, we won't blame yon, Willie; only let us hurry back; for see yonder is a black oloud coming np in tbe west, and I am afraid if we do not hurry home we——"
The child's speech waa arrested by a groan of anguish from her brother, whose eye for the first time had been directed towards a hank of dark murky clouds heaving np in the western board, by his sister's remark, and at the very instant that the vision first rested upon the black pall, a chain of bril¬ liant zig-zag lightning arose, quivering along its upper edge, and a few momenta later,ther6 came to their ears a low muttered thunder. The young captain had hauled hia little vessel by the wind, but the clumsy thing lay broad off under ill-fitted aail. Besides the wind, wliicli she had soaroely felt while run¬ ning off before it, had now Increased so much, thtt aht ICMled 0?«r tiUtber* vm g>9«( daa-
FACT. FTTH AND PAHCT.
The Cleveland Register makes the following good hit: 'Whether Queeu Victoria's red petticoats will beoome a faahion in America is yet to be known. It is certain, however, that the attempts of 'some of her male pre¬ decessors to introduoe their red coats into this country did not succeed.'
Au Irish magistrate having occanion to write the word 'usage,* contrived to spell it without using a single letter of the origiual word; his improved orthography was yowz- itch.

less young voyagera speeding on and away, right out into the very heart of the Atlantic ocean. We will bid them adieu and glance back to their home—to their fond mother, rendered desolate in heart by the dread ca¬ lamity that had fallen upon her in the loss of her children.
At the moment wheu the children firat em¬ barked Mrs. Walton had glanced out towards the cove, and for a few moments watched them with all a mother's fond delight aa she aaw them sailing to and fro on the quiet wa¬ ters of the^bay; and then some visitor cal¬ led and she forgot her children until just as the atorm came down, when a neighbor rusb- ed in witb the heart-rending intelligence that the launch had beeu aeen only a few miuutes previous, several miles out at sea.
The first terrible shock almoat killed her, but soon rallying her woman's energy and mother's love she rushed from her home, re¬ gardless of the furious storm, aroused her neighbors and besought them with all the eloquence called up by tbe deep anguish^ of her riven heart, to help her recover her lost darlings.
There was no vessel at Rockaway or Falk- ner's Island, and to venture out to sea in such. a storm with auch crafts aa were along the shore, were worse than madness, and imme¬ diate despatches were sent to New York, not only to the ownera of the ship commanded hy Captain Walton, but the Pilots; and with¬ iu an hour after the news had reached the city, two of the staunchest pilot boats, man¬ ned by extra picked crews of gallant souls, were under way, and speeding on their awift winged course in search of the ocean lost darlings.
Leaving her there iu a atate of fevered anxiety, hoping in the very teeth of despair, we too, will go forth into the wild, yelling gale, to look upon a most sublime ocean picture.
It waa an hour past midnight—dark as tbe deepest, gloomieat cells of an inquisitorial dungeon, save wheu the vivid lightning'a flash lit up the Cimmerian blackness with a glare rivalling that of the brightest noonday sun. Some ninety milea to the eastward of Sandy Hook lay hove to, a noble ship, inward bound ' in oue of the most terrific gales that ever swept along the northern coast of America.— The gale had just set in an hour before sun¬ down, and ever since dark the ship had been hove to under the shortest possible canvass,
within half an hour after the ship reaches New York, you shall have a hundred dollars.'*
" And now Mr. Kinsley, will you please call upou the second mate aud all tbe gentlemen passengers ?" I want tbem to ataud by the whips in order to assist the sailors, if neces¬ sary. We must aave those ohildreu, and do it, too, without the boat coming iu contact with the ship, as that would be instant de¬ struction to it and them in such a sea."
" All ready the whips sir 1" came from the mate, and at that moment the third mate's voice rang out from the jib boom end:—Boat right ahead, steady as you ago !"
" Now then my lads, who'll go into tbese running bowlines witb me, and stand by to pick up tbe children ?" anxiously inquired the captain.
" I air; I, I," came from a dozen ready ! Bailors, in a moment: |
"Thank you, my lads; but I only want] five. I will go in one ofthe bowliuea myself," |
The selections were soon made, and there tbey atood in the fore-main mizzen chains— the commander and five noble fellows—with the bow-lines under their arms, ready to risk their lives to save tbe three children.
" Steady 1 stand hy now! Here they come —look out!" screamed the oflScer from the jib boom, and a momeut later, the dim out¬ lines of a boat loomed np by the lee cat bead. Another moment of breathless suapenae, and the boat was abreast of the fore chains.
"Stand by the forward whips I Look out there in the main chains. Veer away men. Now Harry ; now, and down went the captain and bis companion into the boat.
A breach later aod a shout came ringing up look out main and mizzen chaina. Sway away on deck," and up by the ran came the two men, each grasping a child in his arms.
" Ay, ay, sir. All right," answered a brave fellow, scrambling iu on tbe deck, with little Jenny grasped tight by her clotbes.
" Father," exclaimed tbe little girl, clasp¬ ing tbe captain about tbe neck, "Father i Father," echoed back two treble voice.^i.
" Almighty God, I tbank thert. Saved— saved—saved !" and Capt. Leator Walton Bank fainting on the deck. He knew the children were bia own from the moment tbey passed the ahip'a stern, and his indomitable self-control had borne him np until they were rescued; and wben thp reaction came, bo sank down inaeaalhle.
At au hour before sunset the following day the ahip was at ber berth in New York, and the meeting between the distressed mother and ber children tbere, in the cabin of ber husband's ship, is too sacred a picture to he profaned by a mere pen and ink copy.
BoTs AND GiBLS.—We agree with Life Il¬ lustrated, when it says, boys must have tradea and profeaaions. That is right. Every boy should understand that he ia to leam well to do some kind of business ; that he is to earn his living, and make himself uaeful in the world. That be has a rich father, is no rea¬ son why he should live in idleness. Train the boy to a useful occupation.
Yes, if you would have him happy and honored, if you would make bim of the least eonaequence in the world, if you would save him from vice, miaery, and ruin, /rain him to industry. No one sbould live iu the world without sharing its common burdens and common joys—the reaponsibilities of recip¬ rocal aervice and sympathy.
Boys are bred to buainess. Why are not girls ? Are tbeir minds in lesa danger of ruuniug to waste ? lesa fertile, ao that the evil whioh enemies scatter in unoccupied soil, will not take root and yield, a harvest of tares ?
No ; as tbe world is, girls can not be per¬ fectly pure without occupation. The unem¬ ployed mindis uot happy. Every gtrl ahould he taught some branoh of industry, should beoome skillful in some kind of work, either mental or physical, by which she can sup¬ port herself honorably. No healthy grown girl sbould be satisfied to remain a tax on her father. Are her parents' means small F By the teaching aud practice of some art, she cau earn her money, and add much to tbe oomfort and the charms of home. She will be proud to do tbia, if she has been train¬ ed to feel so. She owes it to her own aoul, aa means of its elevation aud growth. Have the parents ample means ? Still, she could not merely exiat, of no more account thau a china toy or a bit of gliding. She can share the mother's duties, becoming ber right hand, and tbe light of tbe father's eyes. At the same time, ahe should be thoroughly versed in certaiu branches of either .Att or
' Oh, dear Sir,' replied J., 'it is for that very reason for thoae who tio won't lend lend me a farthing.'
The most astounding instance of a man's regard for his word waa recently gives by a man who killed bis wife, whom he did not like. When aaked 'why he didn't go off and leave her instead of killing her,' be replied, jocosely, that 'he had promised on the wed. ding day to live with her until death should part them, aud he wasn't tho mau to break his word I'
One of onr contemporaries disposes of the virtues of early rising as follows: 'We bave watched (be saya) those fallows who are early risers, and aa a general thing they are the first chaps who go to the groceries of a morning. It ia all moonshine about the smartest and greateat men being tbe early riseis. It might have been so in old timea, but uow-a-daya whou you see a chap moving about very early you may be certain be is after a drink "
Old Rodger waa visiting a frieud who had a remarkably fiue little girl, about three yeara old, famoua for smart sayings. As usual she was abowu off before our esteemed friend.
" What ia papa?" said the "parent," in or¬ der to bring out the precocious reply.
" Papa's a humbug," said the juvenile.
" 1 declare," said old Rodger, " I never in my life aaw so young a child with ao mature a judgement."
