to the commerco of the world, I was sent to
i araguay uy my employers lor tlio purpose
of purchasing cofleo,r!ct',etc., which far sur
passed tho productions of Ilrazll in quality.
At that time there was no regular lineof steam
eis playing between tlio United States and
the eastern coast of South America, and I
waSithereforo.obHgcd to embark on board of
a trading vessel, bound for Rio Janeiro. Tho
pn'scngers were few in number, and nothing
unusual occurred until wo reacheded Key
West, where a lady and gentleman got on
board. The latter proved to be n Mr. Hot
mail, from New Orleans, who had jut been
appointed U. S Consul to Iluenos Ayees,
and was on hii way to commerce- his olllcinl
lutics there. He was a pale.emnciated man
apparently fifty years of age. Hut the
daughter, as the lady proved to be, drew nil
attention to herself, causing even the hardy
sailors to tako oil' their hats in reverence.
It is as impossible to describe her beauty, as
It would bp to photograph tho radiance of
tho sun. She had a slight, petito figure,
though well proportioned and voluptuously
developed. Her hair was of that Indescriba
ble color between brown and black, which is
so beautiful iu effect, yetdiflicult of descrip
tion. The features were round and regular,
the cheeks alternating j between red and
marbletlie lips lull and pouting, enclosing
teeth which Ili-bo might have en v ad. Hut
tin- rial charm was in her eyes. Tlnir color
I know not ; but in repose they were, calm
and liquid like tho dove's and when cxclttd
by pnssh.n or pleasure gleamed from under
their heavy lashes as lightning darLs from a
gathering cloud penetrating magnetizing
all in Ihcir sphere.
I occupied the only respectable state room
In the veisel, but immediately tillered it to
Mixi Holnian Slio at iirst refused it, but
seeing my earnestness finally took the room,
and I felt amply tewarded in receiving one
of those sweet'siniits she could so well be-
Companionship in a vessel, as in an omni
bus becomes a necessity ; and a few days
sufficed to make mo thoroughly acquainted
with Mr. Holnian and his charming daugh
ter, Kate. With a broken voice, the latter
told me how she hud lost a sainted mother
and baby brother a few months before by
tho YellowFover,aud that iu order to escape
from painful memories as well as to restore
his broken health, her father had solicicited
and obtained his prescit appointment to
Buenos Ayre.s. The downcast eyes, quiver
ing lips, and above all tho gentle pathos of
her voice went deep into my heirt, causing
sympathetic tears to start to eyts which had
not known them for years. ''lis strange how
gentlo the heart becomes under the itiiluence
of love 1 The stern warrior, accustomed to
scenes of carnago and bloodshed, trembles
at the sight of a helpless maiden, the J udgo
relaxes tlio oflicial fronn,aud through its in-
ueuce permit Mercy to beam from tho eyes
of Justice, even the wild beast is tamed by
it. There vvas also that in our situation
which predisposed us to love. We saw Nu
tuio in her grandest and most illimitable
form, and iu awe at the sight, crushed back
tho petty conventionalities of life which too
often act as barriers. Wo were also away
from the busy world and its excitements,
and in consequence had none of its distrac
tions.
I soon loved Kate, and so knew it. Not
that tho word had been mentioned, but in
tuitively each felt it, and accepted tho feel
ing without protest.
We sailed cloeo to Cuba, Jamaica, and
other Ule.s, the perfumes from which were
wafted to us by gentle zepbyrs which intoxi
cated the Senses, while the green isles and
the shadowy mountains in tho back ground
captivated the imagination.
A few days sailing brought us in sight of
the South American coast, and by tho ship
per's reckoning wo were not far Ironi the
mouth of the Orinoco. Near midday the
vvinil suddenly lell, and there came a dead
calm, not even a ripple di-turuiu ; the sur
face of the v atery deep. The tierce, equator
ial sun butt down ou the es-el with such
intensity that it was iniio--ibk' to keep on
the deck, while it was almost surtbciting be
low. At sunset we were till on deck, but
still tho calm continued ; the sun going to
rest in a bank of leaden clouds which closed
over it as earth does the roiliti.
I vvas seated by Kate, and either tho fore
boding of danger, or some peculiarity of tho
scene, caused both to he unusually silent.
s night gathered over us, a distant moan
ing reached our ears. All else was still as
death, the sails even hanging listlessly from
the spars. The sailors leaned thoughtfully
over the railing, apparently watching the
pliosphore.eiice of the sea,whicli now gleam
ed in the darkness like demons' eyes at a
cursed soul. Occasionally a shark would
rise to the surface, and then rapidly disap
pear. Nearer camo tho moaning souud
thicker gathered the blackness around us
until at last tho hurricane with its awful
force struck tho vessel, shivering tho sails
and nearly putting tho craft on Its beam
onds. I cannot describe it. The roar was
deafening, and each moment tin waves
swelled higher and higher, threatening- to
ongulp us. . ilrst we tried to reach the
cabin, but that was impossible, and nothing
remained but to lash ourselves to the
mast.
Mr. IIolm.ni, at the same Instant, camo on
deck, where all now was Iu confusion but
while' essaying to reach' us,"' slipped and fell
on the deck,' I ran to assist him, and was In
tbo act of raising him up,when a hugo wave
broke over the vessel, and I wa3 UuresUting
ly carried Into mass of water beyond, One
piercing shriek alone reached my ears, then
nought vvas heard but the howling ol the
htirricano and roar of the now foaming sea.
With the instinct of life I tried to keep my
self above the surface, my etforts would
liuvo been uuayalling had not Providence
placed In my way si spar which had been
wrenched from tho ship, I clung to it with
the desperation of despair, yet my thoughts

known that she was safe. How long I was
tossed on the Wave I know not, my mental
suffering presented me from thinking of niy.

gragtlng the beach ; the next wave threw it
high on the sands, and I reallied the fact
that I had escaped a watery grave. I crawl
ed a few, pacts up- the beach, and then na
ture nave nay, and I Mtuk exhkutteu.
When consciousness rcturnedl found myself
lying under tho shado of a hugo cocoa tree,
nnd to my delight saw Kate Holnian bend
ing nnxlously over me. Doubt of my own
sanity first nrose, but a glnnco towards tho
still surging ocean, nnd a certain stiffness in
my limbs convinced mo that what I saw was
real. 1 soon learned of Ivato's escape. Sholiad
clung to tlio vessel until it struck, nnd then
was washed on tho beach, which was close
by. She had hastened up to n dry place, nnd
there, to her surprise, found me. Her poor
father was washed over nt the same time I
was, nnd must hnvo drowned Immediately.
Tho poor girl's agony vvas uncontrolablo on
asccrtjiiniiig tho certainty of his loss. Not
it trace of ship or crow was to be seen.
Tho necessity of action aroused both.
Somo cocoa-nuts and plantains furnished
some sustenance, nnd believing the Orinoco
could not bo far off, wo determined to push
on towards the river, aud by embarking on
It reach somo place of refuge. The deep
indentations along tho coast prevented us
from following that line.
We set off immediately, but our progress
vvas slow. Tho thick tangled undorgrowth
covared tho surface of the ground, and wo
were obliged to follow in tracks mado by
the jaguar nnd other tropical animals
Chattering monkeyes, screaming parrots,
birds of glorious plumage wore everywhere
around us j but our desperato situation pre
vented us from admiring this profusion of
nnlmal life. Even had wo been so disposed,
the growl of a distant jaguar, or sight of
the slimy folds of a boa-constrictor were suf
ficient toMrlko terror to the stoutest heart,
Kati bore up nobly against tho fatigue, but
finally could proceed no further,and remain
ing would only involvo mo in her fate.
"On," slip said, "you have strength suf
ficient to reach tho river ; should you es
cat e think kindly of Kate Holtnan."
I told her of my resolve to stay with her
to the last, and bade her bo of. good cheer
as the river could not be far distant. Leav
ing her for a short time, I proceeded onward
fur some dl3tnnct,,and soon had the gratifica
tion ofseeina the gleam of tho water throu-ih
the trees. Vasco tie Nunez lit discovering
the Pacific, or Columbus in first discovering
land, could not havo felt more joylul emo
tions than I ditl at the sight of tho turbid
flood before me.
I rushed to the margin, hut on reaching
it my feet sank in the black 'uire. I tried
to extricate them but iu vain ; each strug
glo nolo sank me the faster. At first I was
angry, then fear came over me, and I
struggled more violently than before. Vain
strife I I only hastened what I would.have
prevented. Slowly, yet Oh ! how rapidly
the felid slime gathered around me, it had
now reached my waistl Thoughts of all my
acts from infancy up rushed through my
mind with lightning speed. Friends, rela
tives, all passeel in rapid review, and with
a sickening feeling I thousht of my past
aspirations, and of my present position.
ISut all of these thoughts sank into insignifi
cance when I thought of Kate, alouo in
tho wilderness, with no friend to protect, nor
haudjlo gtiide.or savo me. Again I struggled
but my body was now held as.iu a vice, and
my head alone remained abovo tho surface,
luch by inch I sank all hopo was gone,
when to adtl to my misery, from a distant

CURIOUS INVENTION UY A BOSTON. MAN
NEW METHOD OF L0COM01I0N.
According to the Ronton Tractllcr, Mr. J.
II. Nolan, whoso ingenuity and success as
an inventor has already secured him a high
stan-ling in the mechanical world, has just
iuventeda novel rae-ans of locomotion, which
is in the form of'iin automatic' or self-propelling
boric, tho locomotion being produc
ed by tho weight of the rider and tho weight
which is carried. "The'"horso" and its ap
pliances are models of mechanical simplici
ty, aud any amount of speed required can
be secured, in (act it can be made to go u
a mUe faster than the fastest trotting horse
of tho day. A "mail "horse," capable of
carrying u man, ten or twelve miles per hour
can be built at from $15 to $0. The "horse"
can carry cuiii-ideruble weight iu additlou to
the rider. Tho pcrsou sits iu position as
ho would upon tho live animal, with tho
feet in stirrups uud .reins iu liaudi. ill vbich
position he can govern tho speed and guide
the "horse" at will. There vvas an exhibi
tion made with one Of these "horses" recen
tly, iu a hall in Boston, and although tho
room was small and unfavorable for either
speed or ettse of locomation, a boy weighing
sixty pouuds propelled the "horse" at from
six to seven miles an hour with tho utmost
ease. The experiment thoroughly establish
ed the partieal value ot tho invention.

A Fall for Life.
Tlio merchant ship Druid, from Ilombay
for London, lay becalmed uir tho West coast
of Illnilostan, between Go.i nnd Mnnga
lore, whero the QhauU mountains wcro seen
towering in savago grandeur, thousands of
feet in air, with wild torrents leaping down
tho rocks, flashing through tho dark green
shrubbery, and rushing with tho din of
thunder.
If tho wind doesn't risj ero to-morrow
morning, wo will have to anchor," said tho
captain to Robert Vinfiold, a handsomo
young naval lieutenant on lcavo of absence
from his frigate, stationed at Ilombay.
'I don t want to lay the blilp's bunes ou
that coast, nor do I like to get too near It.
I have heard bad stories of tho natives there;
at any rate, I beliovo that every Hindoo is n
thief nnd a murderer by nature."
Uell Upton, daughter of Major Upton,
who was bound homo from his India regi
ment, on sick leave, heard tlioso words, and,
shuddering, drew closely tn thu sldo of her
invalid father.
A quick glanco was then oxchnuged be
tween her and the young lieutenant,, whoso
reassuring look seemed at oncj to dispel her
fear.
Major Upton, noticing the glance, frown
ing, said to his (laughter, "Come, Uell, lot
us go below."
Wiufield bad been a suitor of Bell's since
she came to visit her father at Ilombay some
months before. The girl favored him, but
but not so tlio major, who wanted her
to choose a wealthier lover.
Hell was beautiful, with a form of unri
valed grace, brown eyes, n clear( pearl white
skin, with very little color, and dark, golden
hair that fell in rippling masses over a pair
of magnificent shoulders
The lieutenant watched'her admiringly
until she disappeared iu the cabin.
"No harm shall befall her, not while I
live I" ho thotiirlit, as ho glanced uneasily
tmvarils the oast. "We have arms on
board, have wo not V he added aloud to tho
capt tin.
"Ay, ay, sir ; but it isn't, likely we shall
tie attacked. Wo are two full leagues fiom
the coast, and, before we are near enough to
be boarded, a breezo will spring up I've no
doubt. "
A few hours later Jilght closed .around tho
ship. The sky was covered with thick clouds
which obscured tho moon ami seemed to
betoken that a breezo would come before
long.
Meanwhile, tlio ship having drifted a
leaguo nearer tho coast, tho lieutenant
thought tho captain very careless not to hnvo
more than his ono lookout forward posted
ou so dark a night.
Refore 11 o'clock the quarter deck wa! de
serted by all save the officer of tho watch, a
lazy fellow, who was now stretched on the
carpenter's chest half aslocp, whllo the
watch forward, as Wiufield (who stood lean
ing over the rail amidships could perceive
by the light of a lantern in the fore-rigging,
lay reclimug on the hatch, somo of them)
snoring.
Not feeling sleepy, the young lieutenant
resolved to go aloft on tho mizzentop sail
yard to watch' for the first sign of a breeze.
Arrived on tho yaid, the gloom was bo in
tense that ho could not see tho water beluw,
although, as lie still gazed iu that direction
was it reality or only imagination ? he
thougt he could detect a thin outline of
something shooting round the ship's stern I
Ho was about de?cending,whett tho clouds
parting over the - moon,- a flood of silvery
light was poured down on ship and water,
revealing a spectacle th;(t thrilled tho young
man with horror a 6ceno so huddcn and un
expected that his-very heart-seemed to stand
still I
While he was aloft, Iietl Upton had como
out ou tho quartrr deck, and now stood with
her back to tho mil, about two feit front it
her head bowed as if she vvas ill deep
thought, io that heV beautiful wbito neck
shone like polished ivory in tho clear
moonlight.
Unseen, unheard by the young girl, n
Hindoo, with a long, lithe body, naked to
tho waist had clambered the side, from u
long canoe containing half a dozen of com-
pinions, and had contrived to elide, sepent-
like, on tho outside of the ship, until he had
obtained a position directly behind her,when
he had drawn a largo dirk, which ho vvas on
the point of plunging into the snowy neck of
the fair passenger, that sho might glvo no
alarm.
'fho lieutenant's hand clenched tho yard
like a vice) as he beheld thu young lady's
peril.

June,
Io glvo an alarm would only hasten tho
girl's doom ; to desend, no matter how
quickly, by means of one of tlio back stays,
would bo of no use, as she would perish be
foro ho could reach tho deck and attempted
to stay tlio deadly hand I
Thero.was no time to lose ; in three sec
onds the dirk would descend, and tho girl
would be killed nt ono stroke, so that tho
murderer's companions, who had already be
gan to dscendthe vessel's 6ido, could pouuee
upon the drowsy male occupants of the deck
and slaying them, make themselves masters
of tho ship, almost before a warning could bo
givetL
Xviko a a tigiitniug llasU, tha instinct ol
love, )he. resolution to save JIbII in some
manner from the Immediate; attack sent a
sudden thought to the brain of tho agonized
spectator.
The-Hindoo murderer, in his position on
the outside of tho ship, was vndcr Iho lieu
tenaut, although about forty feet below him;
while the girl standing within two feet of
the rail was within easy reaoh of the native,
whoso arm and body, as stated, were now
draniu back from the bulwarks, to glvo
force to the meditated blow.
The young man, therefore, deemed that
it would bo an easy mutter to reach the Hin
doo in the only way it could bo done with
sufficient rapidity to prevent the accomplish
inent of his deadly purpose a way at once
uovel and desperate, und which would; per
haps, involve, his own destruction.
In a word, Lieutenant Wiiifield, not hesl
tatltig to risk life or llnib for the woman he
in...t -t:..,.i , .i .i . .
wivu, lumiiu m un-ji nuivn jroin near tne
end of the tiilzzen-topsail-yard upon the
Hindpo, forty feet below', and thus dish him'
from the rail into tho' sea, 'perhaps klll him,
ere he cguld deal the fatal blow with his up
lifted dirt.
Ho would utter a shrill cry-a warning to
the.crew as ha cleaved the air, (bus rou.lpg
them, perhaps ju. time to meet the attack of
.(he robbers, and ensure tho further safety
of Bell and the ship,
THE COLUMBIAN, VOI,. XI, NO. 43
The emergency admitted of no delay. Tho
young man, clutching tho yard near tlio
end, hung liy it ft second, to mako suro ho
was in a lino with tho Hindoo beneath,
then, just its tho dirk was about to descend,
ho let go of the "spar with a long, wild cry
tnat pierced ovcry corner of tho ship, nnd
down ho went, cleaving through tho air with
terrlfio velocity.
There was a whirling, rushing sound, then
a loud thud, as tho heavy boot-heels of tho
falling body crashed upon the head of the
dmlry.' native cro ho could uso his knife,
dashing lilm from tho rail Into the sea, and
kilting him instantly.
The watch had heard tho warning cry of
the lieutenant; aud ero tho other natives
could recover from their surprise, caused by
the occurrence which had so suddenly and
unexpectedly broken upon them, the decks
wero allvo with tho whole crew upon which
tho gang of robbers beat a hasty retreat.
Mcanwlillo Hell Upton had been so be
wildered by that sudden, fearful cry sho had
heard, and tho subseqaent splash of tho two
bodies fulling Into tho water, that, not till a
boat win lowered, and the lieutenant, who
hnd been struggling In tho sea, was brought
aboard and in the cabin, to explain, in a
faint voice, how he had saved her life, did
she clearly comprehend all that had taken
place,
Then sho threw herself down by the pros
trate form of her lover, and hung over Mm
In agony, fearing that he was fatally injur
ed. Soon, however, tho ship's doctor gave
cheering information to the contrary.
Tho young man had sustained a fearful
shock from his contact with tho Illudoo's
boby ; but, as that body had offered little re
sistance to his downward progress when ho
struck it in fact, as it had been simply
Iriveti before htm into tho sea his lower
limbs, although partially paralyzed for tho
time, wero not broken.
He had, however; fallen dangerously near
the rail ; a roll nf tho ship to the other side,
ero ho let goof tho topsail yard to descend,
would havo caused him to fall from the
bulwarks, when, of courso ho would havo
been killed.
"Never before," said tho doctor, "did I
heir of such a daring performance."
"Ay I" exclaimed Major Upton, with ad
miration and gratitude. "God bless him!
Here Hell, he shall have you, girl, for he
has well earned you I"
He put both hnnds of his daughter, who
had clasped her lover's neck, in tho lieuten
ant's, nnd turned his head to hido a few toars
on his bronzed cheek.
Immediately after the young man had
been brought aboard, an off-shore breeze
sprang up, enabling the captain to head
seaward.
Iu due time tho vessel reached her homo
port, when tho lieutenant, who by this time
had fully recovered from tho effects of his
fall, claimed his beautiful and williug bride.
A Stranso Story.
A ROM AXCC OF P.N6CII ARDHN EXEMPLIFIED
HARPSIIIP. OF THE LAW.
In May, 1S19, George pud Mary Hough
ton were married in Brooklyn New York.
A fow mouths after tbeir marriage the "green
eyed monster" Btioweu his hideous lorm in
their household. ' It is said that George was
not jealous without cause, but ho did not
mako much noiso about the matter. Uo
simply left bis young wife without any ex
planation, and ' went to' reside in Connect!
cut. Mary mourned his loss for a short
time, but vvas fortunate enough in a year or
two to find consolation in tho company of a
man'tiameJ Stephen Oram, who proposed
marriage. Like Mrs, Enoch Arden, sho had
misgivings, and requested Stephen to wait
another year or two. Not hearing from tho
lost one for five years sho concluded that ho
was dead, nt least iu law, and consented to
becomo Mrs. Oram, Tbo following year the
dead man turned up and obtained a divorce
on tho ground that his wife was living in
adultery witli Stephen Cram. Mr. Hough
ton again disappeared, nnd married a wife
in Connecticut, witli whom it nppears, he
lived very happily, while his first wife con
tinued to reside tranquilly with Mr. Oram,
who knew all thft.circumstanccs nnd took it
for granted that he was, her legal husband,
as llonghton had- abandoned her for five
years, twenty years rolled around, and
Mr. Houghton and his first wifo never met,
After the Urooklyn theatre calamity of 1870,
while1 Mr. Houghton vvas reading over tho
list of tho victims ho observed in it the name
of Stephen Ojaui. Ho went,, at once to the
house of the latter to inquire about him,
and when he knocked at the eloor it was
opened by his first wife, who did not recog-
nizo him. Ho speedily mado himself known,
nowover, anil a sensational sceno was the
result. Hut now comes Mrs. Oram's great
est trouble. She and her second husband
by hard Industry had accumulated a llttlo
property, whiqh she imagined was hers at
his death ; but when she sought letters of
administration she was opposed by some of
of Mr, Oram's friends, On tho ground of her
divorce Irom Houghton without the privil
ego of marrying again, and ou tho strength
ot this the surrogate refused her application.
Thinking tho casd very hard, inasmuch as
sno eim not marry uram until she consider
ed her first husband legally dead. sho. after
tuerciusalot thenurrogate to recognize her
as tho lawful wifo of Oram, made appllca
tion to the superior court to have the divorce
frqm, Houghton set asido on tho cround
that sho had not been teryed with a sum-
mous at the time and had no knowledge of
mo uivorco proceedings. But here atralu
sho was met by another difficulty in the
mesnes ot tue lvr. Houghton has a child
seveuteen years of ago by his second wife,
who would, of course, be made illegitimate
if Mrs. Oram should succeed lu setting aside
tho divorce. After careful consideration of
all conflicting interests in tho case Judge
Friodman recently denied the motion, thus
leaving the woman, in licr old age, deprived
of many years' sayings of hard toll aud
thrown ou tho world because she did not
fully understand tho law of divorce in the
tlio first Injtance. The legal proverb that
'Mgnorauce is uo excuse" has been carried
out her case with terrible severity, not al
together, as. It WQuld seem, from the fault of
the law or tho judges, but chiefly by the
force of circumstances.

For tho same soul lives In each.
Now I meet no tender cj-es
Seeking mine, In soft surmise
t some broken utterance faint,
f-mtlo quick brightening, sigh halt spent.
Y'et in somo sweet hours gone by,
No responding eye to oyu
Needed we, for sympathy.
Love, I se-em to see theo stand
Silent in a shadowy land.
With a look upon thy faco
As it even In that dtm plnco
Distant voices smote thlno ears,
llemorloH ot vanished years.
Or faint echoes ot these tears.
Y'et, I would not have It thus.
Then would bo most piteous
Our divided lives, U thou
An Imiierfect bliss shouldst know.
Sweet my suffering, lf to theo-
Death has brought tho faculty
Ot entire felicity.
Rather would I weep la vain,
That thou canst not share my patn,
Deem that Lethean waters' roll
softly o'er thy separate) sVul,
Know that a divided bliss
Makes theo careles3 of my kiss,
Than that'lhou shouldst tool dbtross.
Hush I I hear a low sweet sound
As ot music stealing round.
Forms thy hand tlio thrilling chords
Into moro than spoken words ;
1 I tls but the gathering broezo
YVhLspcrlng to tho budding trees,
Or the; song of early bees.
Love, where art thou ? Canst thou not
Hear me, or is all forgot t
Secst thou not theso burning tears t
Can ray words not rcacli thlno ears ?
Or betwixt my Boul.airtl thlno
Has somo mystery dlvlno
Sealed n separating lino ?
Is it thu3 then' after CL-nth,
Old things none remembcreth?
Is tho splrlt henceforth clear
Of tho life It gathered hero 2
WU1 our noblest longings seem
Llko somo dlsreincmbered dream
Hark! the rainy wind blows loud.
Scuds above Iho hurrying cloud ;
Hushed Is nil tho song of bcos ;
Angry murmcrs of the trees
Herald Icmrests. silent ft
Slecpest thou nor tear, nor fret
Troubles thee. Can I forget ?
