His moiher called Pen to supper just then, auu be went in, and gat gulping down the corn bread and uces of bacon swimming in gravv, and looking contempt at the boarder's slice of bread and glass of milk. The boarder, whose name was McXuky, and who always had a quiet, amused twinkle in his eyes when Pea grew most contemptuous, began as usual to a&k questions. "Do the fishermen go to sea all the year round, Mr. Bree?" "You don't expect them to work all winter bey?" muttered Pen. "Ilush-h!" said his mother. ."The most of 'em runs schooners in the coaii trade in fall, Mr. McXulty, an' cruises about iu the southern waters till spring; then thoy Ehes and crabs here for the New York market. But on accuunt of the inlet beias closed this summer, the sh an' crabs isn't tit for use." "I don't understand precisely about the inlet's closing?" "No sir? Well, you see this river is but a sort of backwater from the sea, an' the tides keep Cllin' it up with sand, an' niakin' the openin' rhallerer an' shallerer, till it finally shuts up altogether."' "Aad the river becomes a lake?" ' Well, a big pond, or sech. Once in every four or five years it closes up.

"And you do that to-morrow?" turning to Pec. "We begin to tio it. You don't Suppose it could be finished in an hour?" wiih an insulting laugh. The bright face and gentle voice of he other boy acted on Pen like a red tr waved before a bull. His mother called him aside, after per, and rated him sharply. "There's no use of my tryin' to earn anything by takin' boarders, ef you won't be civil, Pen Ires,11 she said.

McNulty went, thrusting a book iu one pocket aad a sandwich ia the other, before starting, lie spent the day usually ou the beach, to Pen's araazemeni and disgust, who won dered continually wba; the fellow found to look at ia the water. There were about twenty men at work which was looked upon as a great crowd oa Squaw beach. They began to remove the 8and by large wooden scoops, drawn by two hors?s, and the treuch thu3 commenced was ds to tiie level of tha river by men with fpades,"standiDg knee-deep in the water. McNulty had been a Lard-working student at tome. The gray, drowsy atmosphere, the melancholy calm of the scenery, the very idleness, slow words and (.lower thoughts of the fishermen, brought new, keen de-' light to bis tired brain, Tbey all, on their part, felt a liking for the lit tle fellow, without any share of Pen's eonlenint ' 1 -u"lc",P- , , . , j CapL Dan SutpbeO End be became closer friends, during the week that 'NOVEMBER 10,1875. followed, if Dan's account may be believed. "1 warned him not to provoke Pen Bree,'r he said, long afterwards, "for that Pen was too ready with his fist, and had the strength of a bullock. I knowed be'd kill that little chap if be ever bitbim s straight-out blow. I guessed the boys had no liking for each other; but I never suspected how it would turn out." It was Dtn. who with tome vague notion of clearing a war McNulty 's dislike of Pen, told him bow, when Capt. Bree died, Ten and bis brother Jem had left school, and gone to hard work to pay adfbt which their father owed, and had paid every dol lar of it. "It went hard with Jem, for he was the scholar of the two," said Dan. "But lie got a chance up in Trenton, as office boy, and there he picked up an idea or two, and studied a-nights, aal so when Hall s otopple wanted a bookkeeper in weir Dig nouse a montn ago, it was Jem Bree as got the place, widow must have told toq of The it she's mighty proud of that boy, so's Pen of his brother." "She did tell me, but I did know what hard work the poor an not fel- low had to teach himself," said Nulty, his thin face reddening. He listened after that to all Mc- the and discussions between Mrs. Bree Pen of Jem's chance of a holiday this August, and was almost as pleased as they, when he found that Hall & Stopple would allow him to come the next week. On the afternoon of the day when he was expected, the men completed the trench, with a fall of six feet from river to sea, but erected a bulwark to keep the trench closed until the sea should be "out" at low tide, when, the barrier being removed, the river would force a deep, strong outlet for itself, much deeper and wider than the trench. McNulty, going down to the beach, met the men returning with their spades and teams. "Nothing to be done till nine to night," Dan called to him. "Then we'll take away the barrier and then! you'll think old arth has broken up!" "I should not think the river would wait so long." said McNulty, looking down at the stagnant black water which had gorged every pond and marsh. "It is oozing now through the sand and bulwark." "Oh, safe enough," cried Dan; and with the other men he pushed on to the village, leaving McNulty alone on tte beach. No sound was heard but the sullen beat of tUe surf on the ocean shore, and the piping cry of a fish-hawk circling over the inlet. McNulty saw a boat crossing to the opposite shore. "That is TeD," he said, "going to meet Jem and bring him over in that leaky cockle-shell. He bad better have let him go round by the bridge, if it is an hour later." He looked uneasily at the sheet of water before him. It was deep and black, and had a treacherous ap pearance to the faneiful boy. The trench cut for it to the ocean wa3 not more than forty feet wide, and the water already filled it up to the bul wark, which the men had thought so impregnable. "But,it is not impregnablethought McNulty. "The water will under mine it in half an hour, and as soon as the breach is made, nothing will restrain this tremendous volume of ater from going out to sea." He seated himself quietly, taking out bis watch, he remembered after ward, to see whether be had been right in setting half aa hour as the time. In less than twenty minutes, towaver, the oozing drops became a tiny black stream, which gradually widened and widened, nntil the whele body of water in the Inlet, pressing down into tte trench, urged its way witi a Isi3tls3 force through the barricade. "No boat would be mad enough to venture out," he said, scanning tte dark inlet aDjiou.lv, But several hundred yards from the trench, be saw a small dark ob ject washed furiously to and fro by the swift, terrible current. McNulty yelled, threw up his cap, ran to the edge of the whirlpool, and waved them wildly awar. "Back! back! Pen! for your lives!" he cried. "The water is running out!" "I knew it," be beard Pen say, sullenly, to the other man in the beat. "I thought we could jet over in time. Lut I've done for you, Jem. Jem, who was 3 powerfully built qs LL brother, and as muih at home in the water, stood up and loosed up and down. Tbey had no oars on board; the mast of the boat, with its dirty little sail, lay almost level with the water, and they and the boat and sail were sweeping down the swift black torrent with a speed like the wind. The young men with one accord turned from the in which was no hope, to the sea wLich waited for tbem. The heavy waters or tne inlet, after passing through the trstitb, had cut f.or themselves a path into the ocean a mile ftom the shore. No man could have stemmed the current, or kept himself afloat ia ii. The two brothers, both expert swimmers, scanned if for a full minute, weighing their chance of life. Thev saw there was none; for the fierce waters rolliogover the beach in their madness would ingulf tbem, and life would begone before they could reach tho smoother waters of the ocean. "There's a man ashore," said Jem, hoarselv. "A hundred men could do notLia'," said Pen. He savV, too, that the man was the girl-babr McNulty, and that instead ol coming down to this awful store f death, he was stepping carefully and coolly up the bank. "Venn, even in that last moment, sneered at him for a coward. "There is Daa Suthen on the ot!;er bank," said Pen. "What's NcNulty doing?" he serieked. suddenly. "Ha he's throwing a squid to us! Fool! What can a fishing-line do?" Bat Jem bad quicker wit. "There's a rope to the line, and he's throwing it to Dan! It it reaches him before we reach that poiat, we are saved!"

But in a few minutes twe dripping figures stood over him, and Pen said: "He's nigher laintin' for ns. He's but a weak feilow, Jem, but he's got 8 Diwerful head oa him."

Charles Warren Stoddard writes: Ireland puts her best foot forward on whichever side you approach her. Within she is barren and bleak, and awfully uninteresting. Some miles of peat bog will do very well for a background, but when you find your self swamped in the middle of it somehow vou lose all interest in this life and naturally begin thinking of your latter end. Ireland is so lone some, so melancholy, so thoroughly forsaken that when you come upon a town ot any considerable size yoa wonder how they manage to keep it up. There is plenty of land there, most of it rich and mellow, but it lies idle simply because there is no one to work it, or worse, those who have remained at home and are will it:? to work cannot afford to under take it; they havt'nt a penny to bless themselves with. They have 8 pig which bates in green water in front of the door and dries himself on the hearth by the peat Sre in the one room of the cottage. The hen3 lay eggs in tne bed that is wben they can afford to make shells and fill them; the cow looks in at the back window, which is without glass or sash, and shears at the scarcity of brp. I nave seen a cow in the house examining a chest of drawers to see it there were anything eata ble thereabouts, while the family was literally crowded into the mud under tffe door sill where the pet pig snored luxuriously. These very people would give yoa 8 sharp and witty reply, and very often 8 grace ful one, to any remonstrance yoa might be pleased to make. You find fragmentary unpublished pages t Lever, Charlton, Banim, Maxwell, Griffin, Mrs. S. C. Hall, and a host of other novelists in any hovel you enter; but for the unbounded good humor of Pat and his Biddy, Ireland would indeed be a sorrowful spot Brig-ham Young a Personal Appear- aaee. Brigham Young is a shrewd Yan kee, born in Vermont 72 years ago, and brought up, like Joseph of old, to a carpenter's trade. I a person he is rather commanding and striking in appearance. He stands nearly six fjet high, broad shouldered and stocky, with the general physical as-j pect of a human bull. His head is1 of moderate size, with strong devel opments of the basic and posterior regions of the cranium, and it is by no means lacking in anterior breadth. His hair is chestnut il not colored, abundant in growth, and combed in a pedantic style into 8 fore top to the right side, with somewhat of the lop of a sick rooster's comb. The im pression received from the care be stowed oa his bair is that of an over weening vanity and a desire to ap pear young. His face is entirely unlike that de scription of Christ alleged to have come down to us from some Roman writer. Benignity and the hightest type of humanity were the marks upon that countenance indicative of the sublime soul so sweetly reposing within. In Brigham Young the lowest type of humanity ii depicted in bia gorilla like projecting lower jaw, avarice ia, his pinched mouth, harshness and ungodliness in every kJiceaxent of his revolting face; and still i have heard many Mormon women say, "What a beautiful and benevolent face he has!" To my eye it is axoag the worst faces 1 have ever seen. It expresses greatness of a peculiar cast, but it is that of the grossest ignorance which I have ever seen depicted in a person professing such a high position or bo mash ec clesiastical, civil &ri political re nown.

After the de struction of their hall by fire, the Matons met for some time in the lodire room of the Odd Fel!.w' ! bailding. This was likewise destroy ed by fire a few days ago, leariog !be Order without an appropaiate place of meeting. In this emergency the Master of Virginia Lodge, No." 3, in imitation of a custom of the craft in ancient times, called a meeting ot his lodge on the summit of Mount Da vidson yesterday afternoon. Over three hundred members of the Or der were in attendance. When it is considered that the top of Mount Davidson is seven thou sand eight hundred and twenty-seven feet above the level of the sea, and nearly seventeen hundred feet above Virginia City, the significance of this large convocation will be apprecia ted. The summit ef the mountain is a pointed mass of broken granite, yet almost upon the very apex a rude altar of stone was erected, and around it gathered over three hun dred Masons, who, in the beat of the midday snn, had toiled up the rugged mountain side to witness the open- ing of a Masonic lodge at a place so unusual; and there, overlooking a city of twenty thousand people, the lodge was opened partially in form aad its regular business transacted. rrom the summit of the mountain tho country for a radius ot perhaps a hundred miles oa every side is vis ible, with its towns, lakes, moan- tains, valleys, hoisting works, quarti mills and 'railroads. The view is one of the grandest ia the State, and the gathering yesterday was in the eye of every Mason present scarcely less grand than the surroundings. As the lodge was opened, the white emblem of the Order was thrown to the breeze from the flag staff oa the summit, and the cheers that greeted it must have been heard ia the val leys below. Masic, speeches, and a bountiful repast for all, enlived the proceedings, and at five o'clock or a few minutes earlier, the concourse wended their way down the moun tain side Members of the Order were ia at tendance from Gold Hill, Silver City, Day ton and Carson, and so impress ed were ail present with the gran deur and solemnity of the occasioc, that the rude altar was almost chip ped io pieces, to be preserved 83 me mentoes of an event so unusual in the annals of the Order. It is prob able that a Masonic Lodge was nev er before opened ia the United States at so great aa elevation certainly never upon so prominent a point in the light of day. The occasion will long be remembered, not onlr bv those present, but by the people of btorey county. Nevada Ae?r. Am ASTeetlBa; Caae. The many freaks of physical in- hrmity show nothing stranger than instantaneous blindness or deafness, or their immediate care. The fol lowing fs told ia a Nashville paper: W e recently heard a remarkable and touching story of a little boy, the son of a gentleman in aa adjoining county. His age is twelve or thir teen. He is aa interesting and prom ising lad. Ond day during the past winter he failed to rise in the morn ing as early aa usuaL At length his father went ia the room where he lay, and asked him why he did not get up. He said it seemed dark yet, and he was waiting for daylight His Sailer retired, but the boy did not make his appearance for some time, he returned and said a second time: "My son, why don't you get up?" "Father, is it daylight?" he asked. "Yes, long ago." "Then father," the little fellow said, "I am blind." And so it was. His sight was gone. Ia a short time his father took him to Nashville, to get the benefit ol the medical profession there, hut none of tbe physicians could do any thing for Lim, asd happily made no experiments oa his eyes. Some la dies ia a family of his father's ac quaintance sought to cher him ia his aSacuoa. and one night propos ed to take him to tbe opera, that he might hear the music and singing. He went and was delighted. In the course of tbe performance, all at once he leaped up, threw his arms around his father neck, and screamed with ecstacy: "O, father! I can see!" His sight had irisiewadry returned. And since tha he has retained i. ia full vior, except that under excite ment there is sometimes a dimness of vision. Tbe case is one of a remar kable and singular character. Depth of Ihotremi LaJhoo. There is a mystery aboot the American lakes. Lake Erie is only sixty or seventy feet deep ; bat Lake Ontario, which is 500 feet deep, is 230 feet below the tide level or the ocean, or as low as most part of the Gulf of St La w ranee ; and the bot tom of Lakes Huron, Michigan and superior, altnouzn tbe surface is much higher, are all from their vast depth on a level with tbe bottom of Ontario ; now as the Detroit River, after allowing all tbe probable portion carried off by evaporation, does not appear bj aay means equal to the rjuantity of water which the tLxae upper lakes receive, it, baa beea con jectured that a subterranean river may run from Lake superior, by tne Huron, to Lake Ontario. This con jecture is not impossible, and ac counts for the singular fact mat Her ring and salmon are caught ia all lakes communicating with the St Lawrence, bat no others. As the Falls of Niagara must have always existed, it would puzzle the natural ist to say how these fish got into tbe upper lake without some subterrau eaa river; besides, any periodical examinations of the river would fam ish a sot improbable solution of the f mysterious flax and retta o! the lakes. The difference between persever ence and. obstinacy is that one often cornea from a strong will aad the other fraza a asroag wont Wester fa I JHstcrtiy. A traveler tells us something of the singular weapon used by the na tives of Australia, tbe boomerang. He saw them used by tbe natives. They ranged from two feet to thirty eight inches ia length, and were of virions shapes, all carved a little, and looking, as he described them, like a wooden new moon. They were made of a dark, heavy wood, and weighed from one to three pounds, la thickaess they vary from half aa inch, and taper to'a point at each end. One of the natives picked up the piece of wood, and, poising it aa in stant, threw it, giving it a rotary motion. For the first on hundred feet or more it went straight ahead. Then it tacked to the left and rose slightly, still ro atiog rapidly. It kept this latter ct a se for a hundred feet more, perhaps, but soon veered to the left again, describing a broad er curve, and a moment latter fell to the earth six or eight feet ia front of tbe thrower, having described nearly a circle io tbe air. Another native then took the same boomerang aod cast it, holding it with the same grip, it took tbe same course, but made broader curve, and as it came round the black caught it handsomely ia his right hand. Another native next threw it, and lodged it oa tbe ground about twen ty feet behind him, after it had de scribed a circle of two hundred yards or upward. After him tber all tried it, and but one of them failed to bring the weapen back to the spot where they stood. Carnboo, a native, then selected from tbe heap of boomerang, anoth er one, and cast it wit a jerk. It flew very quickly for 40 or 50 yards, whirling like a top. Then it darted into the air, mounting fully oae hun dred feet, and came over our heads, where it seemed to hang stationary for a moment, then settled slowly, . still whirling, till be caught it Two others of the blacks did the same thing. Meanwhile I bad with my knife shaved a little of the wood from the convex side of one of the boomer angs. This is now offered to one of tbem to throw. He took it without noticing what I had done, poised it, but stopped short, and with a con temptuous glance at my improve ment threw it town and exclaimed ; "Bale budgery !" (no good.) The others then looked at it cau tiously, but it was a bale budgery also to them No one could be in duced to throw it Myers asud them why they did not use it. but they could not give him a definite answer. It was plain that they did not like the way it. poised when held ia the hand, y I couid not distinguish any differ ence between this and the othec wea pons. Burleigh then walked to a distanc of 200 feet or more froa the- blacks and bid Carnboo throw to kin. The native looked at him for a mo ment rather curiously, then compre hending what was wanted, he select ed one of the heaviest missiles, and. turning halt round, threw it with great force in a direction almost op posite from that where Burleigh stood. Tbe weapen sped smartly fo 60 r 70 feet, then tackled ia aa instant ana flew d.'rectly at Burleigh, and bad be not so expeditiously, docked. he would have received a hard thump. ii notbing worse.
