“ And your object is to ofgsr yotnr ser
vices to'ine as engineer for (heup-trip ?”
said Captain Beynoldsi inquiringly.
« As-you have intuitively perceived, it
is”
«Siiv—Lieutenant, I thank you—-dou
bly tirnnkyou—and if3l avail myself of
your kind offer; accepting in me same
generousepirit With which fit is made, end
without further ceremony V’ said .the capr
tain, as he wSrmly pressed the hand of the
other.—- <fc Knowing that the firemen ware
■all green handSy 1 was just hastening to
take charge, manage, as 1 best might, the
engineer’s department—but now I shall
feel at ease.”
“ Then let me at once enter upon my
duties; there is no time to loose I” said
the lieutenant, and there was a strange
gleam in , his wild, restless eyes, and a
nervous peculiarity in his gesture.
It was unnoticed by the captain—-or if
he noted, evidently considered the idio
synoraoies of an ardent temperament—as
he replied, with satisfaction expressed in
his voice.
“ True, true! I fear you will find mat
ters in somewhat confused’ state, but you
can send forward for me at any moment."
They passed beyond my hearing, and. I
leisurely ascended to the hurricane deck
to .enjoy .a cigar for an boor, after which
I sought my state room—found, entered,
dosed the door—and was on the point of
congratulating myself on having secured
it, when“iny attention was arrested by the
intonation of a musical voice of peculiar
: that could never be after
wards forgotten too’ heard 'mid the
wild - beauty and grandeur of an ocean
storm-r-the roar and carnage of battle, or
the discordant mariners of an assembled
universe ! Spell bound, I listened.
“Ob, sir, whoever you are, for the love
of Heaven assist me to get out of this
room—and at once! Our safety—aye,
the lives of every one on board is pending
on—l shudder to think—-perhaps the is
sue of a few moments!"
There was an indescribable earnestness
in the utterance that thrilled me to the
soul, m think was to ait, and knowing
by tbe sound that only a thin board par
tition separated me from the fair pleader
—for that she was fait 1 would have
staked my existence —I immediately drew
my heavy “ bowie,’*and first assuring her
of ]i speedy deliverance, Commenced cut
ting at the .top of one of the boards.
Id two minutes it was loose —in four I
took it out and stepped through the open
ing- /
What a picture was revealed!
Seated on a low stool, with her auburn
ringlets floating over her .shoulder of ala
baster. whiteness, was a gloriously beauti
ful maiden of seemingly, hot over sixteen
summers, and eyes as bjaght as the jewels
of a regal diadem. .
Ha hands were tied behind, and in
her struggles to free herself toe delicate
flesh was cruelly lacerated.
One stroke of my knife, and the cords
were severed in an instant. Observing
thepalorof her features; quicker than it
takes me to teU it, I had caught her in
iny arms and/ borne her jbhrough the cn
: ttopco which my good' blade-had effected.
To dash open the window, find to lave her
ferverlsh brow with water, I was but toe
work of a moment.
She soon revived, and to an eager
os to the .cause of her painful
situation, replied, that all ber family had
fallen, victims to the cholera, with the
cxceptionofher brother; who had recov
ered fittin the disease; only to exhibit symp
toms of that dark anomaly of the human
mind- —insanity. That she had used her
utmost influence with her brother to get
him to visit .the North, [hoping that the
change of climate and ‘travel would com
{detely restore him to'his former strong
inind an'd health. . That an hour before
hi," had eomo tp heir room with a stout
cord in his hand, and -said in a playful
manner that he must tie her up. Appre
hending no evil, she had not objected to
what she supposed onej of his vagaries,
but when he drew a revolver,,and told her
that the . ffrst words she would be
her ladt! then she hecome alarmed, and
begged to be released.! With a strange
calmness and voice !whioh brooked no re
ply, he . commanded he|p to silence, and
stating that he was an emissary of Satan,
duly commissioned to drive the steamer
to hell, locked the door and departed.
J3he paused and a fkint smile shone
through her like [the sonshine in a
midsummer rain. .
; A light dawned ttpotl my mind! v Tha
engineer was, then, the brother of this an*
geuo picture of loveliiiess; and
shuddered as 1 renumbered to have no
ticed the increasing speed of the boat wad
the heavy roar of the ejhaust pipe-—was a
madman! /[
No time was to be lost. Hastily telling
her the little I knew e|f the lieutenant's
movements, I escorted “jheiPthe grand
saloon and promisuig tp return the. mo
ment 1 found herbrether, I wentinsearoh
of the captain. I : ■
Hardly had I- rpapbeff the stairway
when my aifehtioniia
which rose high and 1 shiiH above imotl ier
sounds, shilling ito intonation,
[independent in everything.]
and seeming the drtead harbinger of com
ing doom!
I involuntarily raised my hands to my
ears, as did others,, to shut o?t the terrific
sound.
“In God's name what rras that ?” ex
claimed an elderly gentleman by'my side,
to an officer of the boat, who rushed past
us in the direction of the engine room. '
“The Mad BnoineebT Our lives
are in fearful peril! hollow if you would
know more P 1
A moment later, and we were at the
scene of excitement, and beheld a sight to
chill the blood of the stoutest heart!
With coat off—eyes flashing menace—
revolver in hand, commanding the range
of the entrance, and the “ register** show
ing an amount of steam far beyond the
rated capacity of the boilers—rthe engi
neer was seated upon the safety valve to
keep it down I and giving occasional ut
terance to a wild yell, as his weapon threat
ened with death the horror-stricken crowd
without. •
No questions were asked—none were
needed—it was evident that the engineer
had driven the firemen from their station
soon after taking his new position—had
tranafered several barrels of oil and rosin
to the fire under the boilers, and toe sharp
shrill roar of the escape-pipe, as well as
the quivering of the steamer from tuck to
kelson, as she leaped through the water
with toe impetuosity of a mad racer, told
each and all toe featf ul nature of the per
il which was momentarily increasing.
“We shall be blown to eternity! Shoot
toe- wild beast down! Our lives are in
the balance!” The words were ominously
echoed by toe sharp click of a revolver.
“ Stay! Hold I On your life,fire not! ’
And the voice rank like a clarion, yet
with all the wild music of an aeolian harp,
as the crowd parted right and left, and
the maiden of my story, the sister , mag
nifiedent even in her pallid beauty; rushed
to the entrance.
“ George! My brother!”
“ Virginia! You here ?” \
Tfie fire in the eyes of the madman
burned with less flame than before, and
hand and weapon fell to his aide. His
fierceness was gone in a moment, when
her bright orbs gazed searcbingly up on
him. Breathlessly we awaited the issue.
“ (Jive me the pistoH”
It was done.
u Now come with me!”
“ But my commission from Satan V’
“ Has been fulfilledl”
Withher eyes calmly reading his, she
took his arm and led him quietly away to
his state-room.
Captain Reynonlds immediately ordered
the dampening of the furnace fires,; and
by Urns reducing steam we were soon com
paratively safe-
I have hub Hide more to add.
We reached St. Louis in due time, and
without any return of Lieutenant BHton’s
malady, and as may be supposed, it need
ed' bat little urging for me to accompany
them to the house of their nncle, a wealthy
retired .merchant of that city, who gave
us princely welcome, worthy hie. generous
bachelor heart.
Under the careful treatment of several
of the most skilful physciaus in the city,
the lieutenant was soon entirely recovered.
Audi?
Need I add that my friendship for the
beantiful Virginia had ripened into some
thing warmer, into lovd !

and early life:
A District School not far away -
Mid Berkshire bills, one Winter’s day
Was bumming with its wonted noise
Of three-score mingled girls and boys—
Some few upon their tasks intent,
Bat more on furtive mischief bent;
The while the Master's downward look
Was fastened on a copy-book—
When suddenly behind his back.
Rose sharp and clear a rousing shack t .
As ’twere a battery of bliss
Let off in oue tremendous kiss ! ,
“ What’s that?” the startled Muster cries:
“ That tbir,” a little imp replies
“ Wato William Willitb, if you pleathe—
“ I saw him kith Thuthannah Pealhe l"
With frown to make a statue thrill,
The Master thundered “ Hither, Willi"
Like wretch o’ertaken in his track.
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will bang his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came—
A great, green, bashful simpleton,
The but of all good-natured fun—
With smile suppressed, and birch upraised,
The threatener faltered—“ I’m amosed
That you my biggest pupil should-
Be guilty of an act so rude I
Before the whole set school to boot—
What evil genius put you to’t?"
“ ’Twas she, herself, sir, sobbed the. lad,
I did’nt mean to be so bad—
But when Susannah shook her carls, -
And whispered I was ’{raid of girls,
And durs’nt kiss a baby’s doll,
I could’nt stand it, sir, at all I
But up and kissed her on toe spot,
I know—boo boo—l ought to not.
But, somehow, from her looks—boo-hoo,
I thought she kind o’ wished me to 1”

viz:
1, They work more and develope all

2; They take their exercise m the open

3. Their food and drinks are commonly
less adulterated, and far more simple.
4. They do not overwork their brain as
much as industrious professional men.
5. They take their sleep commonly du

9. They are not so and do
not wear themselves out so rapidly ih the

4. Their pleasures, arc simple and less

Encouraging Benevolence.— Good
deeds are very faithful; for out of one
good action of ours, God produces, a
thousand, the harvest whereof is perpetu
al. Even the faithful actions of the old
patriarchs, the constant sufferings' of an
cient martyrs Uve. still, and do ‘good to all
succession of ages by their example. For ;
public actions of virtue, besides that, they
are presently comfortable to the doer, are ■'
also exemplary to others; and as they are-;
more beneficial to others are more crowned'
in ns. If good deeds were utterly barren
and incommodious, I would seek after;
them for the conscience of their own good
ness : how much more shall I now be en
couraged to perform tbem for .that they;
are so profitable both to myself and others,
and to myself in others.-— -Hall. '
