Rich es came again, but ’twas laved, for ’ed lamed partly bow to value riches.’ The gentleman looked, as the moonlight showed, interestedly at the speaker; ‘ An other story with a lesson in it ?’ he said. • If it were not for keeping you out so late, I would ask you to do me the favor of tel ling it/ ‘ Ay, sir,’ said Skipper George. ‘ I said there were amany lessons sent us. This one coined nearer to me again than the tothcr —I hope I’ve lamed somethun by that story ! Fishermen don’t heed night hours much ; but it’s late for you as well, sir. Mubbc ’ee’d plase to walk inside a bit?’ he asked, with modest urgency, • It’s a short story, only a heavy one If ‘ Another time, perhaps,’ said, the strhnge gentleman ; 4 not now, if you'll excuse me; but if it wouldn’t be too much trouble 1 would thank you for it where we arc. One hour or another is much the same to me/ At the first words of this answer, Skip per George turned a look of surprise at the stranger, and when .the latter bad finished speaking, asked, 4 Be’ee stayun hereabouts, then, sir ?’ Perhaps he may have thoughtit strange that one who looked so muoh like a cler gyman should he staying for any length of time |n tho neighborhood, without being hotter known. 1 l am a clergyman,’ said the gentleman, frankly ; ‘ hut not of your church; and I don’t feel free until I’m better known/ Byppet George apparently weighed the answer. He did not urge his invitation; bnt his open face become clear and kindly as ever. 0 ’’ ' ‘ Then,’ sir/ said he, * ef ’ccd plase to be seated here, I’d tell the story. I know' it well/ Before begining it the fisherman cast a | look at bis house, and then gazed a while upon the restless waves which here glanced ' with the gleam of treacherous eyes, and there were dark as death. ‘Do’ee mind about ten years ago, in Newfoundland, sir V began Skipper Geo., turning his steady eyes to his nearer, and ■Peking as if the dlkte or the years since foe date had h^eh painful to him j 1 the • hard year that was when they had the *rdls,'they called T* -|. ‘Yes; though I was in England at the «me, I'know .pretty dell what happened n» Newfoundland.

Oh! ’twas bitter cold! We didn’ say much together, George an’ I, but we got along so fast *s ever we could. ’Twaa about an hour or two before night, mnbbe j and George says to me, ‘ Let’s lave the slide, father ! ’Twsn’ but we could ha’ kep’ on wi' iu though ’twas tarrible cold, hard work; bu| ’twaa somethun else ! 1 * So we turned the slide out o’ the way and laved her, and corned on. ’Twas blowun gales up over Backside; we could •soa’ce keep our feet j an’ I hard somethun! like a voice—an’ I brought right up into! the wind. ’Twas just like beun at sea,l in a manner, and a craft drivin’ right? across our wake, an’ would ha’ been onto’ sight aii’ bearun in a minute. Then I knowed by the sound ’twas the Minister — (we didn’ have e’er a reverend gentleman of our own in the diays; but’e lived over in Sandy Harbor and ’ed oosc to go ali i round the Bay.) We could sca’ce bide. together, but I was proper glad to meet* un, (for a minister’s a comfort, ’e know! sir;) an’ ’e said, ‘/a avyhoit, outf' —| 1 There’s two o’ brother Izik’s orphans sir, | I'm afeared, and others along wi’ 'em, 1 said. So ’e said, 1 God help them !

We were all atandun (for we didn’ think o’ nawthin Imt the boys) when two corned into the \ oor, all white wi’ snow. ’Twasn’ they 1 wo, sir, but ’twas ray nevy 1 Jesse and aothcr. ‘ Hav’ut they corned ?’ ’e said.

So, when it corned on to blow, Jesse and .his crow made straight for Bask Cove and got in, though they were weak-handed, for one had hurted bis hand-wrtet —and so, in about three hours, they got round by land, and thought the tother jaor fellows would do so well. ‘ What canhis do Un cle .Gcorgie?’ 'e said; for he’*, a proper ture-bearted man, sir, and 'e ims a’mos’ cryun. ‘ First, we can pray,’\ said the minister; and so he said a' prayer. I make no doubt I was thinkun lio much over the poor young fellows j and the wind made a tarrible great bellowing town the chimley and all around the housa and so I was ruther aw’y from it morq an’d I ought. Then the Minister and Jesse and I started out. My mistress didn’ want me to go j but I couldu’ bide; and a afore we’d made much w’y up harbor asen the wind and growun dark, (though \wasn’ snowun,) we met a man cumun from iother side, Abram Frank; and ’e said last that was seen of our four was, they were pul lun in for Hobbiss’ Hole, and then some thun seemed to give way like, wi’ one a’ ’em rowun, and then they gave over anc put her aw’y before the wind, and so a> long as they could see anything of ’eif, one was atandun up scullun aatarn. (Tb&t was my James sir !’) A very long breathed aigh here nude itself heard in the deep hush, and as Hr- Debree turned, he saw the sweet .face £f Skipper George’s daughter turned to htr father, with tears swimming in both eye> and glistening bn her cheek. She hai pome up behind, and now possessed her self quietly of her father’s, hand. ‘So we turned back, and the minister wi’ us ('twas a cruel night to be out in,) and the wind almost took and lifted us, and sot us dowb by the foot b’ the path over the rudge; but when we got atop benvand it corned athwart, it brought us all down kneelun, and we could scarce get over to the door. The poor mother got up from the chimley-corner and came for ward, but she ncedn’ ask anythin’; and there was a pretty thing by the fire, (this girl was a ! little thing, asleep, but there Tyas a pretty young thing there) that never got up br looked' round ; ’twas Milly Bessie, that was trothplight to James.— They was to have been married in aweek, ef the Lord willed; and ’twas -for Vs house we were drawan out the timber.— She just rooked heself on the She’s gofie, lonuenough ago, now fir I , < go the Minister took tfio Book (.and read a bit.

Oh, what a night it was: it’s no use! blowun and bel- ] lowun and freeznn, and ice all along the j shore to the leeward I j ‘ Well, then, sir, about two hours o’ j night there corned a lull, and then there was a push or shake at the door, and ano ther —and another—and’ i was, we all thought,) and then the door banged open.—’Twas nawttang but boW hiatus corned in, and thpn a lull for I - * ALTOONA, PA., THURSDAY, FEBRUARY IT, 1859. a second or two. So I shut the door; and the poor mother broke, oat aoryan, and poor Milly fell over and slipped right down upon the hearbstone. We had a heavy time of it that night, sir; but when the door banged open that time, this child that was a little then, lyan upon the bench .sleepan, made a soart of gagle like, when the first sound corned to the door, and when the flaws o’ wind corned in she smil ed, and smiled agen, and laughed as ef a body m’y be sayun pooty things to her in d’y time. Jesse sid it, and plucked me by the coatsleeve, and I sid it, too. ‘ Well, sir, night passed ; ’ee may be sure we didn’ sleep much on'y cat naps; and once or twice I failed into a kind of ■ dwall, and started, tbinkun they was speak un to me. —Mornum corned slow and cold, cdldet than night. So the neigh bors corned in at mornun, and sat by; and now and agen one ’ould say they were fine young men; and after a bit another’d say f James was abrave heart, and how he sav -1 ed a boat’s crew three years ago, scullun them into B’y Harbor; and so they said > how he began to teach in Sunday School | Sunday before ; and how brave’e was, when they sid the last of un scullen aw'y round the point and over the b’y, for t’other side, or for Belle-Isle, or some place to lee ward. So they said James ’ould take ’em safe, plase Qod, and we’d hear of ’em some place over the b’y in d’y or two. — Then they said they wondered ef the young men could keep from freezun their hands, and said mubbe .they woudn’ git touched, for they was all well-clothed, and James ’ould keep up their spirits, and brother Izik’s little George was a merry boy, and great play-game for the rest ; and my Maunselland ’ca tother cousin, John, were steady young men, and wouldn’ give up very easy ; but they were both quiet, and looked up to James, though John was a good bit older. < Wull, sir, the day went on, cold, an’ blowun heavy, an’ the water black an’ white, wi’ white shores, an’ slob-ice all along; an’ moire, agen, an’ heavier, to leeward, sartenly. We could n’stir hand or foot that day, nor next ; but the Lord's day came in softer, an’ we got a good crew an’ a stout hunt to sarch for the four boys that had been three days a missun; and old Mr. Williamson, the clerk that is now, fair, made a prayer over us before we laved. When we came to put off, they left me standun; X make no doubt but Jesse ''maned to spare me; but I called un back for I said, why should I be settun wi’ my hands folded, or- walking about, lookun out oner the water, and I may be just as well be doun somethun like a father for my sons an’ for my brother's orphans ? ‘We made for Broad Cove ; for so we thought the wind would ha’ driven the poor young fellows a-Thursday; but we couldn’ get into Broad Cove, for the slob an’ cakes of ice. The shore looked tum ble cruel!’ Skipper Georpe sate, thoughtful a mo meat, and then began again. i At Port’gal Gove,’ ho continued, look ing over the water, ‘ they.didn’ know about e’er a punt, an’ no m6re they didn’ at Broad Cove, nor Holly-rood j for we staid three days, an’ walked an’ sarehed all over. An’ so, a-Thursday morning agen we corned back home; ’twas cold, hilt still. So when we corned round Peterpont Point, /that s it over at the outside o’ Blazun Head, yon der,) every man a’most, looked over his shoulder, thinkun mubbe they’d got in; but't wasn' so* They hadn’ come, nor they hadn’ been hard from. So my mi-tress, an’ Milly, an’ George, an’ I, an’ this maid kneeled down after I’d told ’em how ’t was, an’ prayed to the good Lord. “ An’ so we waited, an’ didn’ hear from the four boys, not for a good many days.” Skipper George stopped here again for a while. « Awell, sir* then there corned word over that some men had abin found at Broad Cove!—-it wasn’ known who they were; —but We knowed. So they got Mr. Worner’s boat, and a crew of em’ went round, and Skipper ’Enery Bessie, and Skipper Izik Bessie, (that was Milly s father/) and Skipper Izik Marchant, (he wasn’ Skipper then, however,) butamany friends goed in her—l couldu’ g4 cents.
