I was on my way irotu Pari.s to Home, atid one morning in May found myself in the City of Marseilles, where I had made up my mind lo take the Fteamer for Italy. The vessel I had intended to sail in had departed the day devious to my arrival, so there was nothing to do but to select the next best and commence my journey. Af:er noting the oilers of t lie various com panies, I finally settled upon the General Ahbertoci, of the Valery Line, and after seeing my baggage aboard, and looking in vain for some one to whom I might say jood-by, I followed suit, and was soen on the deck. I looked around me at ocr pn??engers ; never was there a yreater mixture of nations. 1' tench, Spanish; and above all Italian, was heard on every side, but I listened in vain for a sound of our good old English tongue. After numerous leave takings and kissing?, such as only a for eigner can indulge in, we managed to get oir', and steamed from the harbor with a light breeze following, and as happy a company as was ever ",ot together. There weie several notables on board, the Consul-General cf France lo Rome, and his wife, an ac'oriinliohed and elegant woman; several Secretaries of Legation besides many officers of the French Army, who, with a cmpany of troop., were on their way to relieve a part of the carrison at Civita Veeehi, then held by the French. As we sailed along many small boats followed us, the occopanO shouting and waving their good byes until we were out of sight. Couid they have seen what the next twenty-four luurs would produce ; could they have known that their good byes were indeed fa:ewel!9 to thoe who, before the morrow's sun, would be in elernity, their gladne-s would have been changed lo sorrow, and their rejoicing to teard. As I said, we sailed cn the morning of the 7th of 3Iay, 1800, and nothing oc curred lo mar our voyngo up to 8 o'clock that night, when the wind changed, and a head sea set. in, whieli uick!y drove all the ladies and most of the men below. As for in ) self, (having spent nearly a year at sea, awl never suffering from that malady called sea-sickness.) I walked the deck for some two hours, partly for the fresh j.ir, which I could not get in the faloon, nml nartly because a teeung ot - .. i . I ill uneasiness ant insecurny nau iaw.en noiu 0f n,e, w hicli I endeavored in vain to ' j. t throw otF. 1 here were good grounds, I nun c ci, i ji my itrciinj, iui itii iiofe .... f, ( ,- i- r i .. l , , l.peri halt an hour on iioartl iielore I no- ticed a lack cf discipline among the offi cers and crew, which boded no good in case of accident, and which was afterward fully confirmed by their condact. We were also heavily laden, including among our freight a deck-load of petroleum, upon the barrels of which the troops lay or sat smoking. I endeavored in vain, by signs, to make the Captain understand the nature of such inflammable material, but he treated the subject with the utmost indifference, and, shrugging his shoulders, went into his room, as if the fate of over sixty lives were of no possible conse quence. Having remained on deck up to nearfy 11 o'clock, t went to my room and lay down, taking off my coat merely, for the horrid presentiment that something would occur still clung to me, and made my sleep anything but quiet. It was about 1 o'clock when 1 was awakened by aT fearful crash, followed instantly by two more shocks repeated in quick succession, while at the flame moment shrieks and crie3 burst from all parts of the cabin, where terrified women and children were rushing madly hither and thither. My frrst thoughts were that we had struck upon some hid'ten reef or shoal which this part of the Mediterranean abounds in, but on j iCaclung the deck I soon saw my mistake, I for a large brig, whose outl ines I could j just see in the darkness, was slowly drifts j ing away from us, and I knew in a mo j ment that we had crushed into her, and the only question now was, were we sink ing or was she ? Every one was now on deck, and the confusicn and excitement was dreadful. Men called aloud for their wives, and ntothers for their children, while others on their knees called upon God to save them. I went the to forward part of the ship and saw enough to convince the that an hour would soon decide the case for us all, f r ol r bows, which were made of iron, (in f . C , the ship was iron, and Clyde built,) were all stove in, and the water fast pour ing in in great volumes at the apertures. Hut anoiher sight I saw, which, for cow ardice and unsailorlike conduct, could hardly be equaled. The Captain and crew, with only one or two glorious ex cepiions, had seized the only boat left uuinjured, and in the indistinct light I saw them pulling away from the ship, and leaving us to our fate. I rushed back to the stern, where tiie passengers, who had now caught sight of the boat, were vainly strctchin z forth their hands and begging lor the love of God to take them in. The Consul, whom I have ma nlioned, shouted a reward of two hundred thousand franco would they but take his wife. In his agohy he beseeched and prayed them, but money in that hour had no temptation, and his words fe!ls on cars deaf to all mercy. Seeing one of the sailors, who yet bravely stood at the wheel, I asked, by signs, for life-preservers, lie shook his head ; they had none. I then tried lo get two or three men together, who would help me wrench olF door or cut away the seats and benches which ran along the upper deck for a rafr, but they would not stir; either they could not understand or fear had paralyzed them. And now the ship was settling by the bows and rapidly sinking ; already thi water was nearly amidships, nnd almost up to the fires. The engineer had left his post, with the engine at full speed, and it was pushing us here nnd there, as chance directed. I now began fo look around to see how I might save myself. The tim.3 had passed when we miht have passed together, an 1 everj one for himself was the thought of all. I laving taken off my clothing, I seized a small settee ; it was almost good for nothing as a float, yet more than one at tempted to take it from me, and it was only by threatening them all with my knife that I could keep possession. I knew that it was a chance, if it would hold but one, and life was too dear to part with lig! tly. As the water reached the boilers, the strom poured out in volumes, and many, thinking we were on fire, added to the scene by their cries. 1 had made op my mind to throw mv settee oveiboard. and about to put it into execution when I was my attention was drasvn to the brig, which was approaching again with the evident intention of affording help. The ship had now sunk so far that her stern was raised some thirty feet abore the water, and only the mizzen-mast was clear of it. Every moment we could feci her settling ljwer and lower, preparing for her final plunge to the bottom VYe were all hud dled together in the stern, anxiously look ing f r boatitj or at least a boat from the brig, when the Captain hailed ti", asking what nation the ship was. He spoke in French, and we cried back : The General Abberloci, Italian ; we are sinking ; can yo i save us ? Then a f?lMe-e ensued, and mothers hushed their children, and we all waited the words the words of life or death. The anBwer came back clear and distinct : We cannot help you, we are sinking ourselves. Oh, the agony of that moment. Vet there was no more frantic crying, bat men grasped each others hands in a farewell grip, and a dark, sctlled des pair was on the face of ail. I now determined fo reacri the bug cr perish attempting it, for I saw there was no hope for us. and I reasoned that the brig, b'cinsc a wooden vessel would hold out the lotigest, or at least afford means of building a raft. At niiy rate it was dealii to stay where I was, for I knew I should be drawn in by the suction when she sank. So, grasping my watch, and what money I had with lie, which 1 had taken' from' ray vest, I went up the rigging, and as the brig sank on the swells, I jumped down' and across. The exact distance I sprang I could not say, but I struck her gunwale and fell to the passage way, between it and the after-cabin. I lay for a moment stunned, nnd then springing up, I came amidships. Here everything also waB iu confusion, our steamer having struck her on the starboard side near the bow, cutting a hole in her to the water, and carrying away a cood part of her rigging. The Captain and sailors, numbering about ten men,' were endeavoring 'to get a 6mall boat, which lay keel upward on her deck, free from the entangled rigging, nnd launch it. It was ordy after working with n will that we were enabled to get it over the side and jumping in as best we could, j we pulled away from the brig toward the OlVlUilblj UUb OTIS UiU b IJW K H ti VWWH UV near for fear of being drawn in, but shout ed for them to jump, and wo would try and pick tbcm up.' It was too late. One awful scream, one cry of agony such as I pray t may never hear again as she plunged to the bottom- and of all those cabin passengers, I alone was left. 1 he waters met and closed over her as peacefully and calmly as if nothing had occured, and nearly tixiy souls men women and children, were in eternity. The day had fairly broken now, and with the new light we seemed to have new hope. Finding that the brig, which had drifted some way olf, was si ill floating, we sheered for her, and, clambering up, threw ourselves upon the deck, worn out and exhausted. I think, had our vessel then, sank that not a man could have saved himself, so utterly were we used up. liut help was near at hand. We had discovered, while in the boat, the masts and spars of a ship looming up on the horizon, and now she was in plain sight. We hoisted our flag as being in distress, and shouted, and almost cried with joy, as we saw her return the signal, and then came bearing down towaid uSi As she passed where the steamer sank, she put out her boats and picked up two passen gers, and then came to us. She proved to be Tie King bound from Norway to the coast of Africa. Her Captain, a bluff old sailor, but a kind-he'arted maiij after a con sultation with the Captain of our bri" told him he would help him into the near est port, which was Leghorn, or, as he called it, Lireano. Our vessel, although severely damaged, would still float, for being, as sailors have it, only in ballast, viz., having no cargo we were enabled by constant pumping to keep the water out until we had stuffed the rent full of old cordage, sails, &C., and nailed a large lot i of canvas over the sid. ! The Captain of The King had also pick- j ed up the Captain of the steamer and his j crew in the boat which th;v had taken so i basely, and, being rather short of pro j visions, with so many more thrown on his hands, all that could had to stay on j the brig. j We found by observation that we were about 100 miles ficni Leghorn, and turned ! uur prows in that direction ; but novVj one j of these calm3 so frequent in this sea set in, and it was only after three days and I nights' increasing labor at the pumps that j we reached the port. The ship, mean j while, kept close by u?, and at night our i lamps answered each other's welcome liyht, while Uecki watches of t he two vessels sent across the water Ihe joyful ! cryof "All's well." I was quite used op ! and unfit for duty after the second d ty, i for my feet were swollen and purple and j my left wrist sprained frorh my jump, but ! it was njt until cramps set in that I gave up taking my turn at the pumps for there was many a poor fellow worse than I. I The moment we arrived the news spread i like fire, and soon a crowd of many hun ! dreil.s were about us asking questions and j pressing upon our acceptance food and ! inoney, and in fact, like many others of ! our species, we needed both, for a more j sorry looking crowd it would b-j hard to j find. Our wardrobe was made up of the odds and ends belonging to the Captains of ll,e two vessels, and was anything bat comfortable but we Utile thought of that, for life had been spared us, w hile so many had met a watery grave. Of my journey to Uoni'!, and the reception I received there, I will not speak stit'L-e it to say that a moro kind-hearted people than the Italians, or ones more ready to help those in actual distress, do not live. I made a statement of the atlair before an Ameri can Consul at Leghorn, and have since learned that the Captain of the Abbrtoci is serving out a term of eighteen years in the Government iVison for not having his lights out, and cowardice ia leaving his vessel. Neaily two years have now passed since that night, but I cm yet see those pale faces, and hear the shrinks as they sank. It will cling to ma while I exist, for I am sure I can never forget while memory last-! in' leap for life. How's that for HoNfcY ? Rather an amusing joke was practised recently on one of the committee of ladies appointed to examine honey, and other sweets, and award premiums, at a fair inr California. Some practical joker procured a honey jar and filled it with Dr. McDaniel's cas tor oil, and labled it "honey." The jar was nicely fixed and set among numerous h'oney damples. When the committee came along the nice-looking jar immedi ately attracted her attention and the pro ceeded to examine it. Holding irf one hand an immense tablespoon, she poured out the contents of the Jar, the clear ambir color of which excited favorable remark, and it was declared as true looking honey as there was in tho pavilion. Having a mouth watering for the delicious 6weet, and evei sparkling in joyous anticipation, she threw her head back, opened" her mouth, thrust in the spoon and swallowed the contents at a gulp- lut the pleasant expression which was on her countenance was immediately succeeded by one one of horror and diFgust, and tho laughter of Ihe joker, who witnessed the success of the trick, Soon led to an exposition of the fraud.

In this there was something awesome for Our Dog, and when out of this unnatural quiet they rose suddenly to sing, Our Dog was frightened, and would have run out of doors, only the doors were closed. He soon recovered himself. They were only folks, after all -such as he saw every day in the street and house. He began to recognize one after another. He tiled to get up a little sociability with them, but they took little or no notice of him. Everybody seemed strangely constrained and altered. Our Dog is a pet, and ibis cut him. liut his is a self-reliant, recu perative nature, so he threw hiinfelf on his own resources for amusement. He was delightfully ignorant of the proprie ties of church or church service. The choir is separated from the congregation Only by a slightly raised platform. On this walked Our Dog. Again there was singing; ' Ho first smelt of the organ ; h j then smelt of the organist, and wauged his tail at him. The organist 1 oked j with i an amused and kindly eye, but he !d not stop. Our Dog then .molt of would net stop the basso profundo ; he smelt of the tenor; he smelt them first on one side and then on the other. Then he went brick and resmelt them all over again ; also the organ. That was a little curious. There might be a chorus of dogs in-'de; and that man at the keys tormenting them. To him, at any rate, it was not melody. He walked around it and then smelt at every crack and corner, to get at the mystery. He tried to coai a liitle familiarity out of that choir. 1 hey seemed to be having a good time; of course, he wanted a hand or a paw in it himself. Jt was of no use. ! He stood and looked, and wagged his I white, bushy tail at them as hard as he j could. lut, selfishly, ihey kept all their I pleasure to themselves. So he left the j choir and came down again among the I congregation. There, sure enough, were I two little girls on the back seat. lie ! knew them ; he had enjoyed many a i romp with them. Just the thing! I7p i he jumped with his. paws on that back seat ; yet even they were in no humor j for play. Thej' pushed him away, end j looked at each other, as if to say, "Did j you ever see such conduct in church ?" It was rebuff everywhere. Our Dog J would look closer into this matter. The ; congregation were all standing up. So j he walked to the open end of a pew, jumped, on it and behind the people's backs, and walked to get in front cf the ! little girl?, that he might have an explan ation with them. .lust then the hymn ceased. Everybody sat down with the subdued clash of silk and broadcolth. Everybody on that bench came near sit ting down on Our Dog. It was a terrible : scramble to get out. Still he kept employed. There was a i line of chairs in the aisie. In one of these J deliberately sat Our Dog. If everybody 1 would do nothing but sit still and look at ' that man in the p ulj. it, so would he. liut ! somehow he moved one hind leg inadver- 1 tently. It slipped over the chair's edge. Our lXg slipped over with it, and came 1 as near tumbling as a being with four i legs can. All this made noise, and at tracted attention. Little boys and i Is and big boys and git Is snickered ami : snorted and strained as only people can pnicker and s?t;ort and strain where they ought not to. Even some of the cldcis made queer. faces. The sexton then tried to put Our Dog out. liut he had no idea cf going. He had come with our folks, and he was not going until they went. The strange man grahb'ed for him, but he dodged him time mid again with all his native grace and agility. This was something like ; it was fun. The sexton gave up the chase; it was ruining the sermon. Our Dog was sorry to see him go and sit down ; he stood at a distance looking at him, as if to say, "Well ain't you going to try it again!" No. No more of that. Nobody was doing anything save the man in the pul pit. Our Dog would go up and see what all that was about. So he marched up the main aisle, and as did so he waved, in a majestic and patronizing sort of way, his bushy tail, and it seemed to say,' "Well, you can fit here, glum and s-lent, if yoa have a mind to. I do no such thing. I'm a dog ; I need none of your preaching ; I'm superior to all that. Things go easy enough with me, without coming here,- once a week to sit fcitent, sad, melancholy and stupid, and be scold ed by a man whoni you pay for it." Then with an innocent and toiichIiig ig norance that he was violating all the pro prieties of lime and place, Our Dog went bol lly up on the pulpit ftaira while our minister was preaching, ami stood and i surveyed the congregation. Indeed,- he appropriated much of that congregation's attention to himself. He stood there and surveyed that audience with a confidence which, to a nervous and inexperienced speaker, wiild be better than gold or dia monds. He didn't care. He smelt of the minister. He thought he'd try and see if the latter were iu any mood for so c lability. No; he was busier than tiny of ihe rest. The stupidily and silence of all this crowd of people who sat there and looked at him puzzled Our Dog. He could see no sense in it. Some. little boys arid grid drd snvde ai he stood there; seenaingly,those smiles were for him. Uut 6o soon as he reciprocated the appar- ent attention, so Sion as he made for them, the smiles would vanish, the face become solemn And so at last, with a yawn. Our Dog flung himself on the aisle floor, laid his head on his fore paws and counted over the beef bor.es he had buried during the last week. Not a word of the sermon touched him ; it went clear over his head. Lippincott'a Magazine for March. Wit an t Wisboii.
