At n pleasant fmnllv reunion in Now York tho hour and daughters of an old comiuodoro of tho navy wero assembl ed at tho liouau ot n well known citizen to celobrato a domosllu nnnivorsary. Tlio tablo had beou oleared, cinars lighlod, and tlio vet ran, being urged by tlio youtiH ladloit to Biln tnora a sea yarn, related tho following story: It occtirtd, ho Baid, booh after 1 en tered the service, now moto than lorty ycara ago. Wo wero just about to leave Hain)lon Hoadtt on a cruise, when.Uio oaptiiu a gig dafilicd along nido, and with tho old dkiiiner camu a slight, girliHh, fair haired boy, npiinr- unlly a more child, but dressed In tho uniform at that time worn by ilia mid xhijimcn of our navy. Tho littto fellow had boon gent to cea to learn an honorablo profession, because bis father, sinco his bankrupt cy, could not educate bis son at homo in a manner becoming his former station. Ho stood uuoartatu for a while on tho quarter deck, alono, neg lected, abashed, until the captain, sud denly recoleoting hitiKolf, tumod round and introducing him to un cuded by committing Ilirry Brougbton, ai I Bhall call him, to my oversight, as tho old'-Ht midshipman on board. Wo wero soon on intimate terms, and ho was so frank, generous and win ning in his manners that you could not for tlin lifo of you, odcapa loving tho little fellow. Even the rugged old tars would do anything to pleaso him, and the seventy of tho first lieutenant him self often relaxed itself when littlo Harry, as wo all called him, had offen ded against somo paltry rule of disci pline. Always the first to turn out in a gale, nover to bo found Bkulking liko some of our other youngsters from his t watch, and at all times eager to volun teer on any extra duty, ho gradually wouud ininscli into tlio hearts ol every ono on board, from the landlubbers in tho waist to tho oaptatn in his after cabin. If wo went on shore Harry was Burc to bo ono of our company, for he was such a favorite with strangers on account of hU youth and bcn'Hy that wo wero always better welcomed i no wns along. Wo bad been out nearly three years, crnUing on tho Pacifio station, when we were ordered home, and nglit glad wo nil wero to hear the ncwd. Tho long, beautiful moonlights camo and went like tuo sound ot musio, and a hundred gallant fellows danced away tho ovoniug watchos to tho lively notes of tho violin. Wo reached tho Philippine Islands, passod tho strait' and at last entered tho Biy of Bengal. Wo were all hoartly tired of CI030 confinement on ship'ioard, and resolved to run up the bay and vmt a tow otlhooniot stations 011 tho coast. It was a glorious day when wo first caught sight of Mtdrai, with tho sunlight playing full on its walls and minarets, the long, low beach of whito sand crowned with the walls of tho fort above, and a tremjnd- oua sun rolling nud thundering in ahead. Every beart beat high with pleasure, and it was not a difficult tn li ter to obtain pormiston to land. A party of ofliccra, among whom were Harry and mysolf, resolved to mako an excursion into the town. I should have mentioned that thero is no port for vessels within twenty miles of St. Georgo's fort, and as our frigate would bo compelled to stretch out and in until our return wo had but little tituo for our adventure. Wo bad intended when wo started to leave the boats outside tho surf aid to land in lilts which woro used for passing tho broakors, and which, being sowod to gether and without keels, aro admir ably iiitted to resist the jerking of tho suf and cannot without great difliculty bo overturned. But when wo noared the shore wo saw that nono of these alive boats wero at hand, and as wo bad but littlo time to loose wit lay upon our 03rs just out tho breakers and call ed a oounoil to determine what to do. "What say you, Frauk, to making a dash, a rid passing it at onoet It will t. ...... i.:.. . .it. t 1 shook my head in disapprobation as 1 pointed to the huge billows that raced by us, and ourling over a cable's length ahead broko with noisa like thunder on the boaoh, whilo tho shiver- wave boiled and foamed in tho vor tex below. "Givo way, my Bea dogi, givo wayl" Bhouted thu third lieutenant, coming up i breast in gallont style; "shall wo ilasli in, Mr. TilltrT ' "It looks liko a vonturo whoio ono cast is deaih, and tho other U ducking, but what say you, Brougbton'" "Oh, Bir," replied tho littlo follow. his eyes kindling as ho Bpoko, "tlmy say an English man of-war's boat pass ed it a few yoais ago, and I'm suro hc can do il, too. Besides Bir, wo oan try it with 'ono boat first. It isn't suclv a high surf, aftor all, and look there, sir. they're watching us from tho fort." lrno enough, the omcers of tho garrison wero quizzing us already with their glssees. I still, however, objected, ft olincr a Btrnngo kind of presentiment Ihat somo dreadful accident would occur if wo vnturcd in tho surf. But tho national prido of our men had boon touched, nud, the lieutenant, seeing it, wavered no longer, and shouting tho order to "Give way," our crew broko into a cheer and dashed rapidly up to the gigantio breakers. Tho aspect of tho surf as wo annrn- aohed it was terrible. Enormous bill- owb rollod in, ono after another roo liko mounters, paused a momont with tbeir white crests combing before they descended and thon hurled their mass of water down into tho abyss below with tho noiso of a mighty oataract. Hitherto all had been careless on boft'd, and josts had been flying plonti. mny auoni, nut, overy man now felt that a crisis was at hand, and accord ingly th deepest silenco prevailed, broken only by tho noiso of the oars and quick orders of the lieutenant. "Larboard!" Bhoutod Tiller, wavintr hls hand, "larboard a little more!" and riding on an enormous wayo we wero winricd into tho Heart of tho surf, with two gigantic billows madlv nur. suing us on our quarter. For a mom ent wo thought tlio crisis passod, but all at onco tho wavo too mod to lose its Impetus, and gliding from binoath us broached us almost broadside to, whilo tho foremost of our pursuois dashed against us and hofrled us nearly over into tho abyss. Wo wero losing all command of tho boat, when suddenly a volco from our oolloaguo outsido of tho surf exclaimed! "Look out, thoro's a Bhark on your quarter!" At tho samo Instant Tillor, p receiving ou) dangor, thunderod, "Larboard, hard easo oft there, lar board hardor, for God's sake, downl" but tho poor coxswain, Btartlod by the ill timed warning from tho other boat and conscious of tho torriblo situation in which wo wero, lost for a momont nil command of his faoulties, and bo foro ho could regain thorn, suflloiontly to oboy tho command of his olTiccr a wavo struck us full on our broadside and in another instant, with a wild cry of horror, wo found ourselves strug gling in tho stitf. Wnon I roao to tho surfaoo I struok out boldly, but I shall nover forgot tho sight that met my eyes. Tho boat was already broken in pieces and tho frag ments lowing about, whilo tho crow woro strggling hero and there in the breakors. A poor fellow wa just a hoad of mo, buffeting with tho waves, his agonized look fixed on n lingo, shark that lay oyoing him just without tho surf, IL screamed for succor, but it was in vain. Tho current was grad ually sweeping him nearer to his terri ble enemy. Tho othor boat vontured as near as it could, but it woul I havo been madness to approach nearer. Suddenly ho gave a quick, Bhrill shriek Hung his arm) upward and sank. The next iuslant the blood red hue of tho surfaco told tho fearful cause. As for mysolf, I Btruck desperately for tho shore, and being a good s dim mer as long as I could command my faoulties I know I had somo chanco of reaching land. I had turned in order to cscapu tho current and find a place whero tho surf rolled in less frightfully, when I heaul a faint ory, and saw lit tlo Harry struggling not two fathoms off. He seemed almost exhausted, aud was barely ablo to keep his head above water. "For tho lovo of heaven," ho cried, "Frank here!" But as I swatnj to wards him tho noblo boy exclaimed: "No! Savo yourself I'm nearly gone am getting woak tell mother and Fanny I died thinking of them. "Courage! ' I shouted: "I'll ba thero in a minute hold on, my bravo lad!" and I strainod every nervo to roach him, but tho current was powerful that it balllo.l my efforts. Ono whilo tho surf would sweep ns far apart, aud again dash us almost to gethcr. saw, however, that I gradually ncarcd the gallant littlo leliow. Tho crew of tho boat outsido bent to their oars, determined at all risks to securo us, when suddonly thoro was cry,, "Tho Bhark! tho shark!" And tho huge monster shot along not twenty yarn nu between us and our only hope, tho bint. My brain reeled as I looked. Tho boat was rapidly approcbing, but tho surf was too wild to siiltdr it to come near whero wo wero, and between us tho frightful minster was sailing to and fro, wait in for t'io tide to sweep us out. "I'm going, Frauk; 1 can't stand it any longer. Oh, my poor mother and sister God forgivo ma my sins." faint ly said tho boy. "Hold on a minuto, for heaven's sakef I cried, for I was already with m a yard or two of him. "Hold on!" thundered tho lioutonant from tho boat; "we'll ba there if we die for it givo way, lads, for life, hurrah!" uut poor little Harry had held on until naturo was comploioly worn out aud casting a wild look on all around ho faintly ejaculated, "My mothor, sister oh, my ttodl ' and then, with a convulsivo jerk of his arm?, sank liko lead into tlio waters. The noxt mom ent I would havo been by his side. "Givo way! Givo way! Givo way!" roared the lieutenant, wildly, as he waved on his men. "For God's sake, come on quiok!" I shoutod as I dived. But alas! my search was unsuccessful. and when l roso to tho surtaco I was far away from tho spot where Harry had disappeared and noaring with frightful rapidity tho shark on tho edge of the surf. Tho boat was yet too distant to promise auy effectivo aid. I shall nover forgot tho emotions of that instant. A sickening eoneation camo over me; my brain reeled, my joints grow woak and my arms seemed to refuse their duty. Tho monster was now nearly at my side. I could sou his great Pus appearing aud disap pearing, and almost feel tho lashing of his hugo tail as it beat against tho wators. 1 gavo up all ray hopo of this world and all I loved, and shut my eyes upon my tornhlo enomv as I brea thed 0 silont prayer for meroy to God A moment Hint seemed years ensued a moment of torturo moro horrible tlmn any I ever had conceived when a loud, sharp ory rang out just behind me, and at the samo instant a coil of ropo fell bisidu mo ns a voice called out in broken Ennlish, "Hold ou!" Clutching thu cord mechanically, I leit mysiii drawn rapidly 111 among tho breakers, whilo tho enormous mon ster, proooiving bo was going to be disappointed of his prey, struck tho waves wildly with his tail, and dashed like lightning alter me. 'In U'lth him liflnil fwnr lionrlt' shouted a voico, and I felt myself jir ked into ono 01 tho boats common on tho coast. At tho same instant a thun dering ohoer rung from tho crew out sido tho surf. Forgetful of ovcrytliiug but my wondoiul preservation 1 lell on my knees and thanked Uod I was nlivo. When I looked again, I Baw wo wtro riding in upon thu surf and tho shaik had sheered out to sea. Wo wero soon landed, and I then learned tho manner of my deliverienoe. Having been soon, a boat had been put olt to our rescue, and had already taken tip several 01 our crow, wnon thoy dis covered mo struggling against tho cur rent. Had I not been ongaged In on deavoring to savo poor Harry I would havo noticed their approach sooner, As it was four of our crow woro lost Tho poor boy, thank God was wash rd ashoro that samo aftornoon, and thero was not n dry cyo on tho ship when thoy heard of his untimely ond.

Ah wo waited in tho L. it N. depot at Nashville for tho train, Bomo ono began crying, and nn oxoitcmont was raisod among tho passengors. A brlof investigation provod thnl it was an old colored man who was giving wny to his grief. Thrco or four pooplo re marked on thu Hliangeuoss of it, but for somo time no ono said anything lo him. Then n depot policeman camo forward and took him oy tho arm, nnd shook him roughly nnd Binds 'Sco here, old rami, you want to quit that!

'I'zo lostod my Somo years atro tho locality of con ducting tho business of a barber on Sunday was decidod in tho negative by Judgo Klwoll. It was one of tho first oases of the kind brought botoro tho courts of this Stato. A similar caso Is ponding in Philadelphia and wo print below a full report of it, becamo of its general interest. John II. low aud lid ward A. Anderson brought tbo quostion licforo tho Court by nn nppoal from tho sum mary conviction of William it. Wald man Magistrate Baird fonnd Mr. Waldmnn imittv of violating tho Act of 1791 by(working on Sunday. Tho argument of Messrs. Fow and Ander son was two-fold. Tlio first tioint was that Mr. Waldman could not ba de prived of bis liborty in a cilminal pro ceeding witho it a trial by a jury. Tho second point was that a barbel's work was a work ot uocessity, and as such would bo exempt from tho penalties of tho ancient law. Stresj was laid by Messrs Fow and Anderson in their artrumont on tlio first point that "tho thoughts which inuuenced tho niomuors of tho Legis lature and tho Constitutional Conven tion, that no man should ba deprived of his liborty and Buffer the ignomy of an imprisonment at tho will of a judge, but only on a solemn conviction ol a jury of his oountryraoti. They woll new that in the Court of Com mon Ploas tho judge is omnipotent, that tho verdiot of tho jury, bo it for piainiut or doiondont, Commonwealth or prisoner, is at tho marcv of tho judge; ho give3 tho law to tho jury, and thoy Bimply pass upon tho facts. it tnoir vordict is not in accordance with law as ho nnderstands it, or if the facts adductod do not warrant their ver dict or do justice between tho parties, no may sot mo verdict aside, and bo on until a verdiot is found that in his opinion docs justice But in Court tho Quarter Sossions, whore a man's liber ty, instead of his property, is involved, there tho jury is omnipotent, and tho power tho judgo has is merely to dt- tect, and not control, oxcept in ewes vh 10 injustice has boon dono tho prisoner" Judgo Ponnypaokor decided this point against Mr. Waldman, on the ground that if tho Legislature had in tended to tako away tho right of sum mary conviction, it, would havo so ex pressed itself in some law draftod to meat tho caso. As tho Legislature had tiooe nothing of tho kind, tho Court could only read law as ho found it. Advancing to tho discussion of the sesond point Mr. Waldman's counsel arguod that tho decision of tho quos tion whether barber's work was a work of necessity, was a question of fact which a jury should determine, but undor tho circumstances thoy would hayo to submit this "important q lOBticn of fact to his Honor's solu tion. Witnesses wero then called to tho stand, all of whom testified that thov shaved or wero shaved on Sunday and considered it a necessity to havo a clean face, and that it had been for years a custom to keep barber shops open on ouuaay. Mr. Andorson adlrosaod tho Court. with particular emphasis upon tho argument that tho riso and progress of a custom in tho community establishes tho idoa of its necessity. The argu ment then followed closely tho lines set by tho paper book prepared by alossrs. Anderson and Fow. from whioh thu following aro extraots: "My cook prepares mv food on Sun day, the maid cloans up tho home, wo wash our hands and face: why should not my barber shaio met Tho sun goes round seven days as well as six; a man s appetite is lust as stronir on Sunday as any othor day; his hands and laco grow dirty, his clothing dusty and untidy and his board con tinues to grow. "A largo class of tho community aro so ongaged as not to havo tho time to got shaved on baturday, and to others a Bhavo on Saturday will not render them clean on Sunday; and as cleanli ness is noxt to godliness, it is not only a necessity to all, but a duty to those who aro trod-lcanng. "Distanoes nre annihilated by tho wonderful inventions of man, modern progress has caused tho wants of man to increase, aud that whioh was not a necessity in 1794 may bo a necessity to-day. In 1791 thero wero but sevon barber-shops that also practiced cup ping and leeching in rhiladelplua. Wo to-day aro better ablo to mdtro of our wanls, from a point of necessity, than our foro-fathors; and tho sonti mont of this community is that shav- : o j . . i. ug mi ouuuay is n wortt 01 necessity. At the conclusion of tho argument Judge Pennypackcr announced that "as tho position taken in tho caso af fected the intorests of a largo and im portant portion of tho community," ho would tako tho matter into careful consideration. Almost overy man at somctimo in his life is Btnitton with a nowspapcr mania, I fancy, BaysTalmago. Ho has Bomo idoa, moral or politioal or relig ious, and lie induces somo friend to nil vanco tho cash to start a papor, and ho gots ont a prospectus which throatons to do groal things. Aftor a wcok or two somo plain, raaltor-of-fact stock holder finds out that thoro has been no special revolution in tho univorso nnd that the stiu and moon do not stand still, and that men aro just ns big liars as thoy wero before, and that baodl'irs aro just as thick. Pretty soon a big bill for whito papor comes in and ab sorbs all tho sparo cash in tlio business ofl!c3 and the printers refuso to work unless tho "strings" aro cashed up; the printer bows to tho managing editor and tho managing editor bows to the editor-ln-chiof and ho bows to tlio stockholder. Tho stockholder bows to tho ceneral pnblic, and tho sub soriber in tho rural districts wonders why his papor does not come any more. My adviao to a mau who hai any thing to B3y in a nowspaper is to say it through somo papor that is alroa ly an established institution. An idea is provalont that a man who oan do nothing olso can edit n news paper. A man who cannot row a dug ont aoross tho Mississippi rivor has no bltsiness trying to onginoer tho Groat Eastorn from Now York to Liverpool. It requires, to edit n newspaper suc cessfully, the brains of a philosopher, tho skill, tho vigilance and tho bold ness of a groat general; a man ought to bo a statesman, an essayist, a geo grapher, a statistician and an encyclo pedia; and it moro men had found this out earlier in their career thero would havo been many fower cases of bank ruptcy within tho last fifty years. My advioo to tho young man who fools called on to start a nowspaper is that ho consider that tho first sign of soft ening of tho brain, that ho plaoo all his monoy in his wife's hands and mako a rush for somo lunatio asylum and sur render himself baforo he doos any thing desparate. I believo a groat improvement w'll be mado in tin nowspapors when they drop tho impersonal style. Tho belt pens and tho best minds aro ongaged to-day in writinn for nawspapors and thoir writings ofton appoar in tho edi torial columns, yet most of them dio unknown, and livo, many of them, on iuccmpotont salaries. After a whilo thoir hand forgets its cunning and without resources they die. Tha world novor know them. If this impersonal ity woro dropped in tho moro impor tant of newspaper writings, it would be a creator iustioo to those who en gage in nowspaper work. It used to add woigjit to an article in tho Now York Tnbuno to see tho initals "H. G." at tho end of it. Whun mon sign tho'r names to what thoy write, liter ary mou will corao to lirger apprecia tion. No honorablo man would wrilo anything that ho would ba ashamed to put his name to, and writers can bo held responsible for what thoy writ 1. Tho imporsonal oditorial "wo" will not stand between a man who has b;en assailed and tbo writer who is respou siblo for tho article. I could preach a wholo sermon upon tho everlasting blessings of a good newspaper. A good newspaper is tho greatest temporal blessing that Gxl has given to tho people of this country. In tho first place all tho peoplo rond tho newspapers, and thon tho news papers furnish tho greater portion of tho reading of tho peoplo. They don't read books. Tho old peoplo look for tho deaths, tho young poop'o look for tho marriages, and those who aro unemployed road tho want adver tisements. Great libraries mako a few intelligent men and woraon, but tho newspapers lift tho nation into sin light. My idea of a good nowspaper is a mirror of lifo itself, bomo peoplo complain because the evil of tho world is reported as woll as the good. Tho ovil must bo reported as woll as tho good, or how will wo know what to guard ourselves against or what to re form, Thoro is a chanco for discrimi nation ns lo how muoh space shall bo given to suoh things as prize fights, but tho nowspaper that merely pro Bonts the fair and beautiful and bright, eunny sido of lifo is a misrepresenta tion. That family is best qualified for the duties of lifo who have told to thorn not only what good thoro is in tho world but the ovil, nnd is told to solect tho good and reject the evil. tloket nn' money, an' dat's what's do matter.'
