THE SAILOR BOY OF HAVRE.
A French brig was returning from
Toulon to Havre with a rich cargo and
numerous passengers. Off the coast of
Bretagne, it was overtaken by a sud
den and violent storm.
Captain P , an experienced sail
or, at once saw the danger which
threatened the ship on such a rocky
coast, and gave orders to put out to sea;
but the winds and waves drove the
brig violently toward shore, and not
withstanding all the efforts of the crew,
it continued to get nearer the land.
Among the most active on board in
doing all that he could to help, was lit
tle Jacques, a lad twelve years old, who
was serving as cabin-hoy in the vessel.
At times when he disappeared for a
moment behind the folds of the sails,
the sailors thought that he had fallen
overboard; and again, Then a wave
threw him 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.
"My mother," said he smiling, to an
old sailor, "would be frightened enough
if she saw me just now."
His mother, who lived in Havre,
was very poor and had a large family.
Jacques loved her tenderly, and he was
enjoying the prospect of carrying to
her his little treasure —two franc-pieces,
which he had earned as wages for the
voyage.
The brig was beaten about a whole
day by the storm, and in spite of all
the efforts of the crew they could not
steer clear of the rocks on the coast.
By the gloom on the captain's brow, it
might be seen that he had little hope
of saving the ship. All at once a vio
lent shock was felt, accompanied by a
horrible crash ; the vessel had struck
on a rock. At this terrible moment
the passengers threw themselves on
their knees to pray.
"Lower the boats!" cried thecaptain.
The sailors obeyed; but they soon
were carried away by the violence of
the waves.
"We have but one hope of safety,"
said the captain. "One of us must he
brave enough to run the risk of swim
ming with a rope to shore. We may
fasten one end to the mast of the ves
sel and the other to a rock on the coast,
and by that means we may all get on
shore."
"But, captain, it is impossible!" said
the mate, pointing to the surf breaking
on the sharp rocks. "Whoever should
attempt to run such a riak would cer
tainly be IIIHIICU tiu j/LNRRAS '*
"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 silent
ly waiting for orders.
"What is the matter there?" asked
the captain.
"Captain," replied a sailor, "this lit
tle monkey of a cabin-boy is asking to
swim to shore with a strong string
round his body to draw the cabie after
him; he is as obstinate as a little mule!"
and lie pushed Jacques into the midst
of the circle.
The boy stood turning his cap round
and round in his hand without daring
to utter a word.
"Nonsense! such a child can't go,"
said the captain roughly.
But Jacques was not a character to
be so easily discouraged.
"Captain," said he timidly, "you
don't wish to expose the lives of good
sailors like those; it does not matter
what becomes of a "little monkey of a
cabin-boy, as the boat-swain calls me.
Give me a hall of strong string, which
will unroll as I get on, fasten one en<l
round my body, and I promise you that
within an hour the rope will he well
fastened to the shore, or I will perish
iu the attempt."
"Does he know how to swim ?" ask
ed the captain.
"As swiftly and as easy as an eel,"
replied one of the crew.
"I could swim up the Seine from
Havre to Paris," said little Jacques.
The captain hesitated; but the lives
of all on board were at stake, and he
yielded. Jacques hastened to prepare
for his terrible undertaking. Then he
turned and softly approached the cap
tain.
"Captain," said he, "as I may he lost
may I ask you to take charge of some
thing for me?"
"Certainly, my boy," said thecaptain,
who was almost repenting of having
yielded to his entreaties.
"Here, then, captain," replied Jac
ques, holuing out two five-franc pieces
wrapped in a bit of rag; if I am eaten
by the porpoises, and you get safe to
land, be so kind as to give this to my
mother, who lives on the quay at Ha
vre, and will you tell her that I thought
of.her, and that I love her very much,
as well as all my brothers and sisters?"
"Be easy about that my boy. If you
die for us, and we escape, your mother
shall never want for anything.
"Oh! then I will willingly try tosave
you !" cried Jacques, hasteuing to the
other side of the vessel, where all was
prepared for his enterprise.
The captain thought for a moment.
"We ought not to allow this boy to sac
rifice himself for us in this way," said
he at length; I have been wrong. I
must forbid it."
"Yes, yes," said some of the sailors
round him, "it is disgraceful to us all
that the little cabin-boy should set us
an example of courage; and it would be
a sad thing if the child should die for
old men like us, who have lived our
time. Let us stop him."
They rushed to the side of the vessel,
but it was too late. They found there
only the sailor who had aided Jacques
in his preparations, and who was un
rolling the cord that was fasten d to
the body of the heroic hoy. They all
leaned over the side of the vessel to see
what was going to happen, and a few
quietly wiped away a tear which would
not be restrained.
At first nothing was seen but waves
of white foam, mountains of water
which seemed to rise as high as the
mast, and then fell down with a thun
dering roar. Soon the practiced eye of
some of the sailors perceived a little
black point rising above the waves,
and then again distance prevented them
from distinguishing it at all. They
anxiously watched the cord and tried
to guess, by its quicker or slower
movements, the fate of him who was
unrolling it.
Sometimes the cord was unrolling
rapidly. "Oh what a brave fellow!"
they said, "see how quickly heswims!"
At other times, the unrolling of the
ball string stopped suddenly; "poor
boy," they said, "he has been drowned
or dashed against the rocks!"
This anxiety lasted more than an
hour; the hall of string continued to be
unrolled, but in unequal periods. At
length it slipped slowly over the side
of the vessel, and often fell as if slack
ened. They thought Jacques must
have much difficulty in getting through
the surf on the coast.
"Perhaps it is the body of the poor
boy that the sea is tossing backwards
and forwards in this way," said some
of the sailors.
The captain was deeply grieved that
he had permitted the child to make
the attempt; and notwithstanding the
desperate situation in which they were,
all the crew seemed to be thinking
more of the boy than themselves.
All at once a violent pull was given
to the cord. This was soon followed
by a second, then a third. It was the
signal agreed upon to tell them that
Jacques had reached the shore. A shout
of joy was heard on the ship. They
hastened to fasten a strong rope to the
cord, which was drawn on shore as fast
as they could let it out, and was firmly
fastened by some of the people who
had come to the help of the little cabin
boy. By means of this rope many of
the shipwrecked sailors reached the
shore, and found means to ease the
others. Not long after all had safely
landed they saw the vessel sink.
The little cabin-boy was long ill from
the consequences of his fatigue, and
from the bruises he had received by
being dashed against the rocks. But
he did not mind that; for, in reward of
his bravery, his mother received a year
ly sum of money which placed her
above the fear of want. Little Jacques
rejoiced in having suffered for her, aud
at the same time in having saved so
many lives. He telt that he had been
abundantly rewarded.
THE EARLY HOKE OF JESUS.
Four miles south of the strong Greek
city of Sephoris, hidden away among
gentle hills, then covered from the base
to the crown with vineyards and fig
trees, lay a natural nest or basin of
rich red and white earth, starlike in
shape, but a mile in width and won
drously fertile. Along the sacred and
chalky slope of the highest of these
hills spread a small and lovely village,
which, in a land where every spot seem
ed to have a story, is remarkable as
having had no public history, and no
distinguished native name. No great
road led up to this sunny nook. No
traffic came into it; no legions marched
through it. Trade, war, adventure,
pleasure, pomp, passed through it, flow
ing from west to east, from east to
west, along the Roman road. But the
meadows were aglow with wheat and
barley. Near the low ground ran a
belt of gardens, fenced with stones, in
which myriads of green figs, red pome
granates and golden citrons ripened in
the summer sun. High up the slopes,
which were lined and planted like the
Rhine at Bingen, hung vintagesofpur
ple grapes. In the plain, among the
corn and beneath the mulberry trees
and figs shone daisies, poppies, tulips,
lilies and anemones, endless in their
profusion, brilliant in their dyes.
Low down on the hillside sprang a
well of water, bubbling, plentiful and
sweet, and above this fountain of life,
in a long street straggling from the
fountain to the synagogue, rose the
homesteads of many shepherds, crafts
men and vine dressers. It was a lovely
and humble place, of which no ruler,
no historian of Israel had ever yet tak
en notice. No Rachael had been met
and kissed into love at this well; no
Ruth had gathered up the sheaves of
barley in yon fields; no tower had been
built for observation on this height;
no camp had been pitched for battle in
that vale. That one who would be
come dearer to the fancies of men than
either Ruth or Rachael, then walked
through these fields, drew water at this
spring," passed up and down the lanes
of this hamlet, no seer then could have
surmised. The place was more than
obscure.
The Arab may have pitched his black
tent by the we"l, the magistrate of
Sephoris must have known the village,
hut the hamlet was never mentioned
by the Jewish scribes. In the Bible,
in the Talmud, in the writings of Jo
sephus, we search in vain for any record
of this sacred place. Like its happy
neighbors, Nain and Endor, it was
VOL 61.—WHOLE No. 5,395.
the abode of husbandmen and oil dres
sers, whose lives were spent in the syn
agogue and the olive grove, away from
the bright Greek cities and the busy
Roman roads. No doubt it had once

GROWING TURNTPS WITH CORN— Mr.
Barnes, of Westmoreland, OneidaC'oun
ty New York, has a novel method of
growing turnips with corn, which we
do not remember to have seen describ
ed before. He plants his corn three
feet four inches apart, each way, which
makes four thousand hills to the acre,
and manures in the hill with well-rotted
manures. He uses about ten loads of
manure to the acre, and while loading
up the manure in the yard, turnip
seed is scattered over the load two or
three times, or, in other words, when
a third of a load is put upon the wagon,
a few seeds are sprinkled ever it, and
so on for every third of a load. The
manure then is carted to the field and
placed in the rows where it is to be
used, and then corn planted. He states
by this method about every hill will
have its turnip, which grows well with
the corn and yields at the rate of one
hundred and fifty bushels to the acre
of roots, without any detriment to the
corn crop. The turnip plants become
firmly established by the time the corn
is fit to cut, and after that make most
of their growth, advancing with great
rapidity. He says the turnips do not
interfere in the growing of pumpkins
among the corn if desired.
WHAT EVERY YOUNG MAN
SHOULD Do.—l. Every young man
should make the most of himself, in
tellectually, morally, socially and phy
sically.
2. He should depend npon his own
efforts to accomplish these results.
3. He should be willing to take ad
vice from those competent to give it,
and to follow such advice, unless his
own judgment or convictions proper
ly founded, should otherwise direct.
4. If he is unfortunate enough to
have a rich and indulgent father, he
must do the best he can under the
circumstances, which will be to con
duct himself very much as though he
had not these obstacles to overcome.
5. He should remember that young
men, if they live, grow old; and that
the habits of youth are oftener than
otherwise, perpetuated in the nature
of a man. Knowing this fact, heshould
"govern himself accordingly."
6. He should never be discouraged
by small beginnings, but remember
that nearly all great results have been
wrought out from apparently slight
causes.
7. He should never, under any cir
cumstances, be idle. If he cannot find
the employment he prefers, let him
corneas near his desires as possible—
he will thus soonest reach the object of
his ambition.
8. All young men have "inalienable
rights," among which none is greater or
more sacred than the privilege to be
"somebody."
ADV ANTAGES OF MOISTENED FOOD
OVER THAT WHICH is DRY.—Besides
the benefit secured by causing the
ground grain to adhere to cut hay or
straw when wet, it has been ascertain
ed by Boussingault, in some well con
ducted experiments, that soaked fodder
forms a ihore suitable food than tha%
which is dry. He found that heifers
fed soaked hay gained in weight over
those fed during the same time with
dry hay. By reversing the order of
feeding, the results were the same. The
experiments referred to abpear to have
been simply to test tne advantages of
moistened food over that which is dry.
Notwithstanding the moistening of
hay will render it more readily diges
tible, yet the advantages gained w.ould
hardly warrant the labor. But in rum
inating animals a great advantage re
sults from feeding the grain in combin
ation with the hay or straw, and this
can only be done by grinding the for
mer and cutting and wetting the lat
ter. But to do this economically all
the necessary appliances must be at
hand for grinding, cutting,wetting, &c.
With these, arranged as they may be, a
large numberof cattle may be fed with
no great increase of labor. This sys
tem of feeding in stalls affords the ad
vantage of saving and making a grea
ter quantity of manure than by any
other, which ought to be, if it is not, a
matter of tl*e first importance to every
farmer. v
ONE evening a parent was hearing
his little son recite his Sunday school
lesson, it was in the 13th chapter of
Matthew, wherein it relates of the ma
licious individual who wentabout sow
ing tares, &c.
"What is a tare?" the parent interrup
ted to inquire.
Johnny hesitated.
"Tell me, my son, what a tare is."
"You have had'em," said Johnny,
casting down his eye and wriggling
his foot.
"Had 'em !" said the astonished pa
rent, opening his eyes rather wide,
"why what do you mean, Johnny !"
"When you did'nt come home for
three days last week," said Johnny, "I
heard mother tell aunt Susan you was
off on a tare." The Sunday school
lesson was brought to an abrupt close,
and Johnny, who knew too much al
together to sit up any later, was sent to
bed.
RADICAL TESTI-ROWY AGAINST RADI
CAL t'OBBCPTIOM.
We would respectfully call the atten
tion of every taxpayer of Pennsylvania
to the following Radical testimony in
regard to prevailing corruption and
knavery among the law makers of Con
gress and a number of the State Legis
latures:
"A large number of our legislator.—
enough to corrupt legislative action—
are purchasable."—Weir York Time*.
"With a depth and infamy of legisla
tive corruption never before known, we
are falling into a practice of wholesale
and shameless briberyat elections, and
that, too, in New England—in the 'land
of steady habits' itself."— Boston Tran-
script.
"Thecorruptionistsat Washington and
Albany are debauchers of the young;
they are traitors, * * vermin,
who arecrawling under the foundations
and destroying by corruption the vital
powers of the Government."— Henry
Ward Beecher.
"The Legislature of 1867 is no more.
It has fought its last fight—it has won
its last stake. * They have passed
sixteen hundred laws, 'pinched' others
by the score, and finally, after three
months of rioting, rotating, pinching,
plundering and pocketing, their time
has come, and they go out, as a rule, to
return no more forever.— Chambersburg
{Pa.) Repository.
"Bad as has been the character of our
Legislature for years, it seems to be
generally conceded that the body just
adjourned was even more untrustwor
thy than any of its predecessors. *
All the Christian people in the State
should join in thanks to the Throne of
Gr<tce that it did no more harm than
it did. Another such a Legislature
would sink us.— Somerset {Pa.) Herald
"Our legislators are rascals. No de
cent man would like to win an 'Hon'
for his name in such company.—Chica
go Post.
The New York Legislature, alluded
to, stood: Senate—Radicals 27; Demo
crats 5; House—Radicals 82; Democrats
46; Radical majority on joint ballot, 58!
The Pennsylvania Legislature, al
luded to, stood: Senate—Radicals 21;
Democrats 12; House—Radicals 62;
Democrats 38; Radical majority on
joint ba110t, 33! The Illinois Legislature,
alluded to stood : Senate—Radicals 16;
Democrats 9; House—Radicals 62; Dem
ocrats 23; Radical majority on joint bal
lot, 46!
The Massachusetts Legislature al
luded to stood: Senate—Radicals 40;
Democrats 0 ; House—Radicals 226;
Democrats 11; Radical majority on joint
ballot, 258!
The Rump Congress, alluded to,
stood : Senate—Radicals 43; Democrats
and Conservatives 9; House—Radicals
127; Democrats and Conservatives 36;
Radical majority on joint ballot , 125!
By those large controlling majorities
the legislation of the States and nation
was performed. If it is corrupt and in
famous—and we have abundant Radi
cal testimony, other than the foregoing,
thitt it is—the people cannot fail to place
the responsibility where it justly be
longs. Having done so, it is for them
to apply the corrective which it is their
privilege to use, by electing, hereafter,
none but honest and pure men, and so
balancing party power as to make one
a check upon the other. It is useless
to look for purity or correct legislation
when and where one political party
holds so large a preponderance of power
as is indicated above in the Congress
and Legislatures of 1867. Equalize the
political power, and each party will
find it necessary to act honestly and
purely in order to gain favor with the
people. If the people are wise, they
wi'l at once curtail the corruptly
wielded power of the Radical leaders.
GIVE THE FRIXTERS FAIR PI AY.—
We have a piece of advice which we
wish to impress firmly and indelibly
upon the public mind, and that is to
give the printers fair play. Do not
forget that it costs something to pufT as
well as to advertise, and never sponge
on a printer in any way whatever. It
is printer's ink that makes nine-tenths
of your fortunes; it takes money to buy
ink, type and paper, and yet, after all
♦this, few are the thanks the printer
gets. Give printers fair play, and give
up all expectations ofgratuitous puffing,
&c. Daniel Webster was 'mighty near
right' when he remarked of the press:
'Small is the sum required to patronize
a newspaper, amply rewarded is its
patron. I care not how humble and
unpretending the gazette which he
takes, it is next to impossible to fill it
without putting into it something that
is worth the subscription price.'
PPEPAUAIION F WHITEWASH.—
Wiiitewash is one of the most valuable
articles in the world when properly ap
plied. It prevents not only the decay
of wood, but conduces greatly to the
healthiness of all buildings, whether
of wood or stone. Out-buildings and
fences, when not painted, should be
supplied once or twice every year with
a good coat of whitewash, which should
be prepared in the following way:
Take a clean, water-tight barrel,or oth
er suitable cask, and put into it half a
bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring
water over it, boiling hot, and in suffi
cient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir ikbriskly until thorough
ly slacked. When the slacking has
been effected, dissolve it in water, and
add two pounds of sulphate of zinc,
and one of common salt. These will
cause the wash to harden, and prevent
it cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance to the work. If desirable,
a beautiful cream color may becommu
nicated to the above wash, by adding
three pounds of yellow ochre; or a good
pearl or lead color, by the addition of
lamp, vine, or ivory black. For fawn
color, add four pounds of umber, Turk
ish or American, the latter is thecheap
est, one pound India red, and one pound
common lampblack.—For common
stone color add four pounds raw um
ber and two pounds lampblack. This
wash may be applied with a common
whitewash brush, and will be found
much superior, both in appearance and
durability, to common whitewash.
