Slie was aboard a little schooner, bound from Axua to St. Dotiiiugn, on the island of Uuyti one of the "West Indies. There were aboard, besides the distracted woman, several passengers, among them Herbert "SVent worth, a fine-looking midshipman of eighteen ou his war to his sloop-of-war, the Congress, then at anchor in the harbor of St. Domingo. Hearing the cries of the woman, he turned round, to soelier amidships, now wildly ad dressing hcr:-clf to a Spaniard, one of the passengers. "JVlro, for the love of God, save my poor boy ! You can swim !" " Ay,' answered the Spaniard, shrugging his shoulders, so can the sharks. There ate plenty of them hereabout, and, Santa Maria! 1 don't want to get in their jaws ! Resides, the schooner has, no boat to pick us up."' Wentwoi th, rushing to the rail and look ing astern, as the schooner was now brought up into the wind, saw the woman's son who, as it afterward appeared, had boon knocked overboard by the jibing of the main-boum, struggling in the sea. Near the young midshipman lay a coil of rone. He fastened tin end about his breast, beneath the armpits, and, throwing o3" his shoes, sprang overboard. Reaching the spot where he had last seen the drowning youth, he dive, and was fortunate enough to clutch his hair and bring him up to the surface. Soon the men aboard the schooner had hauled him and his burden to the vessel, and, a few minuter- later, tho youth was clasped to bis mother's breast. "(iod bleos you, .ir!" she sail, to the young officer, aul overwhelmed him with her tl ninks. That same day the schooner arrived at St Domingo, and parting from the mother and her son, Wentworth hired a boat aud board ed his vessel, the Congress. As may be imagined, the youth in a. few years was promoted. Five years after the adventure above re. corded he found hiai5e!f in command of the Argjs, a neat little gau-brig, making one of the fleet under Commodore Porter, sent out to break up the nest of pirates at that time among the West India Wands. With him he took his beautiful youn wife, Florence, who, having relatives at Cuba, was to remain there until her hus band's cruise was ended. At length, as the vessel neircd the coast of Cuba, iu the neighborhood of old Bahama Channel, whither she had been driven hy head winds, Florence, standing on the quarter-dock by Herbert's side, could not repress her Loars at the thought of their coining parting. She tossexl her long, rippling tressed of brown hair kick from her glorious shoulders, and her suple, well-developed form quivered. Had she and her huslv.nd been screened from observers, she would have throw n herself IaU Lis iii-ms auJ wept ujion his breast. Ahead of the Arg is was a low, suspicious looking schooner, sUmling, under fall sail, for the shallow water aai-.rig the reods along the Coast. Wentworth, who had lx;eii watch ing her keenly, crowded canvas in pursuit. Meanwhile the sun dimmed by a yellow ish mLit, and dark, lowering clouds rolling along to windward In-tokened a gale at hand, so the captain made every effort to overtake the schtKiuer before the storm. Just as she was within a quarter of a mile of the leeis, he sent a shot across her bov.s, compelling her cap tit iu to heave to, the breeze having moderated so that at present he could not Lope to e-cape his pursuer. Weutwotth kept on, until within half a mile of the schooner, when, not caring with his vessel's draught to stand up any closer to the re.f rocks, he lowered his cutter, and manning it with a good crew pulled aloug-f-idij the schooner. Just as lie sprung aboard, a squall struck the vessel, and down she went almost on her ea!ii ends, driven with r in bows towiid the rotki,.. ".Brace forward !" screamed a tall, fierce- looking fellow, evidently the captain, who, at the same time easting loose the cutter's warp, thus left the bout with its crew far astern. Wentworth laid his hand on the hilt of his sword. "Xo use, sir, you are my prisoner," said the schooner's captain. He made a sign, and in a moment th young man found himself surioauded bj armed cutthroats brown, stalwart fellows with blue and red caps pushed back from their foreheads, showing their knitted brow; and gleaming eves. "1 see," said Ilerliert, betraying no out ward sign of fear, while his heart beat fast; "it is as 1 thought ; you are pirates !" "Ay ! with everlasting hatred against yon naval officers, who hunt us like blood hounds," answered the tall captain. "What say, men .' "Ay ! ay ! ay !" screamed the savage crew, with one accord. Then the points of thirty daggers covered the young man's breast. "Xo," said the captain, "such a death would be too good for him." He looked as he spoke toward the brig, oa which WeatvvorthV anxious gaze was also now turned. The vessel was booming along on a coure parallel with the outer line of reef rocks, the officers in command not da:ing to venture nearer, although, by this time, Helium's perilous situation was know a ill who had seen the other cap tain ca-t loo- the warp and set the cutter adrift. Unli rl.iiiately the lirst lieutenant o olid not foiiov.' in the Wake 'f the schooner, which, wiJi her light diaught and her cap t.iu s kiiowiedg of the locality, was, with skiilf.il hand, steered clrcciiy through the i.i.i.w water c! l.:e e; i"o''l;s, nor would he eh sc foaril.g lliis Wo. dd he lie. ;oe :.a:e 1.

Pu-ing to leeward, it left a ch-ar sky, and the schooner now ili-;i:n ll n-veaied not a leai;.t disiatit. gliding landward throiigh the mazes of the re.-l rocks, with the brig's cutter still following astern, her clew pulling vvii.li might and main. Suddenly the lieutenant who had been lo kii.g through a powerful spy -glass, turned deadly pale. ".iive me that glass, sir !' cried Florence, who noticed his emotion. . She would not Ik' put off, and the officer was obliged to yield her the glass, which she immediately pointed toward the schooner. "I see .'"she moaned, after a moment's survey. "I understand it all! They are reeving a rope to hang my husband at the yard-arm !" "lam afraid it is too true !" answered the lieutenant. "My flod ! And nothing can be done to stive hiiu !" She liovved her head on the rail, gasping as if her heart would break. Meanwhile aboard the schooner, the rope had been rove, and Wentworth led to the gangway. Two men one on each side of him, armed with a cutlass, and others with simi lar weapons a few feet in his front and rear, served as a guard to prevent his escape. The rope had been passed through a strong block hung near the leeward end of the main yard. Two fierce fellows, as strong as bulls, stood ready to haul on oy.e part, while a noose at the end of the other part was passed about tho young man's neck. "Your hour has come !" said the captain, sternly. Wentworth looked to his right at the black-browed man with rolled-up sleeves and drawn cutlass. No hope of escape ia that direction ! He looked to his left. No hope there either. The bearded young man who guard ed him frowned fiercely, his black eyes snapping, while he shook his sharp cutlass and raven locks, menacingly. lie was the only person between Liai and the opeu gangway. There was the blue water only a foot beyond, and, but for the rope about his neck, Herbert thought he might pOSslb have contrived to knock this fellow down aud spring to the sea. As he was now sit uated, however, this was impossible, and, composing his face to show no outward sign of fear, he resolved to die like a brave man. One last look at hU gillant little brig in the distance one last look to sky and ocean! then tamo the stern voice of the captaiu : "Now LET IIIM SWING !" The two brutes at the rope gathered all their strength to jerk the fatal cord, bat, just as they hauled, a sharp twang was heard a quick flash of white light was seen above Weutworth's head, aud down i weut the two rope-pullers ou their backs ! The bearded young pirate g larding Went worth on his left had severed quickly, and just at the right moment, w ith his keen 'e.thtss. the rope above the prisuv-i's head. Then two splashes were 'heard, as he pushed j w entworth luto tho water, quickly follow ing. The suddenness of the movement gav e the two men an advantage. Ere the pirate cap tain could recover from his astonishment, they were many fithoms astern of the schooner, swimming toward the approachiii" cutter; whose crew, now aware of what had taken place, redoubled their efforts. As soon as possible, the pirate lowered boats iu pursuit, but they were many fath oms distant when Wentworth and his com panion were picked up by tie former's men. Shot after shot was discharged lrom the schooner without, however, striking the cutter, whose crew pulling bravely on were soon met bv other boats from the hi-i.. when the pursaii'g pi.iii.es turning wcat back t i their vessel. ".Now, then, who are you who have saved my life?" said Wentworth, t.ddicssiiig his pirate deliverer. "Bjt lor my beard, you might remember one, who could never forget jour face," wad the reply. "In Heaven's name, who are you?'' "I am Henri Cardo, whom you saved fve years ago, from drowning, when I fell over board from the schooner aboard which I had taken passage with my mother!" "Ay, ay, I know you, now !" said Went worth, recalling to mind the circumstance. Soon after he w;ts aboard the brig with Lis wife in his arms. When he told her how he had been saved, she overwhelmed Henri with her thanks. Afterward, however, the young pirate could not be prevailed upon to make a promise to give up his lawless life, and one morning he was found missing from the brig, from which, as was subsequently dis covered, lie had contrived, under cover of darkness, to swim to land, distant not a league. The schooner was captured by the brig, on the next day, after a sharp chase, und to wed into Havana. Subsequently the islands were completely swept of the lawless desperadoes there, aud the days of piracy were ended. Wentworth afterward met, in Havana, Henri Cardo, who hud married a good wife, and settled down, through her in'leenee, into the ways of a peaceable, law-abiding citizen. A Jovial Yankee. In IS 17, sune English officers were sta tioned ut the fort of Accra, on the coast of Africa, aud it was of course their duty to suppress the slave trade as far as their p. ever extended. One day a rakish-looking schooner appeared, and from it landed a very agt ee ahle Yankee skipper. He was asked to din ner, became very jovial, and invited all the officers to accompany him on board his .ship lor a few days' "pogui" fishing. The invitation was accepted, bat next morning the officers remembered in tunc that it might be rather awkward for them to be found hy an English cruiser on board of a ship w hich was well undeistood to be u slaver. Their withdrawal was lucky, for next morning appeared H. M. S. Devasta tion, which immediately gave chase to the schooner. After a time, the schooner was overhauled, and brought into the roads of Accra. No slaves were actually on board, and the Y'atikee captain had taken good care to have his papers in order. Accordingly, another dinner took place, including the of ficers of the Devastation, as well as the previous party. Dinner was very lively, and was followed by a game of leapfrog; after which the guests tried how many chairs they could clear at a standing jump. A good many falls attended these postprandial athletics; as the fun grew boisterous the Yankee skip per avoided liquors and withdrew. The naval officers returned to their ship a little before dawn. When they got up next day the Y'ankee schooner had shipped her cargo and departed in safety. Talking Canaries. It may not be generally known that canary-birds can talk, yet they do. I have known three birds that could speak distinct ly, and articulate clearly. One, an orphan bird, forsaken in its tenderest infancy by its "cruel parients," was adopted and brought up "by hand," by a young lad', who never tired of supplying all its wants, and com forting the poor little heart in the mnst af fectionate and flattering language. Blessed with an excellent appetite, together with the enormous doses of lattery he could swallow at a gulp aud without a wince, soon Con vinced his foster-mother that he was of the male gender, and a strong pair f lungs, as evinced by his impatient morning chirps f,,r his rati iiiS, mah; glad the heart of his litilj maid, and she laughed in her heart, and dimples leHected the smile on her lips, as she said to herself, "I have raised a bird that chii sing." One bright June d;ty, as she sat dream ingly swaying to and fro iu her rocking chair, watching, with loving eyes, her pet, a change seemed to eo.u j over the bird an i lea seized him.

This is especially the i"tojla. case if the dress is bung up in the closet and the man is iu a hurry. Wo think we are safe in saying that he always is in a hurry on such an occasion. The owner of the dress is in the sitting room serenely engrossed in a book. Having told him that the article he is in quest of is in her dtess pocket in the closet, she has discharged her whole fluty iu the matter, and ran af ford to feel serene. He coes at the task with a dim consciousness that be has-bceu there before, but says nothing. On open - ins the closet door and fnidinrr himself confronted by a nutnberof dresses all turn ed inside out, and presenting a most for midable front, he hastens back to ask "which dress," and being told the brown one, and also asked if she had so many : dresses that thete need be any great effort j to find tho right one, he returns to the j closet with alacrity, and soon has his hands i on the brown dress. It is inside out like ' the rest a fact be ujes not notice, how- i ever, until he has made several ineffectual i attempts to get his hand into it.

Then he tiyhs the relief ho feels, and is mentally grateful ' he did not iis.e any offensive expressions. It is sill ri;ht now. There is the pocket in plain view not only the inside and all he has to d is to put his light hand right around iu the inside and take out the ar- tide.

He tries again ; he feels tho entrance and glides down it only tj appear ag liti as be fore. This makes him open bis eyes and straighten his face. lie fee's on the out- ' side of tho pocket, pinches it curiously, lifts it up, shakes it, and after peering closely about the root of it, he says, "By gracious !" and commences again. He does it calaily this time, because hurrving only makes matteis worse. He holds up breadth after breadth, goes over them carefully, gets his hand first into a lining, then into the air again, (where it always surprises him, when it appears,) and dually iuto a pocket, and is about to cry out in ' triumph, when he discovers that it is the pocket of another dress. He is mad now ; the closet air almost slides him ; bo is so nervous he can haidly contain himself, and the pocket locks at him so ex.rsporatingly that he cannot help but "plug" it with clenched list, and immediately does it. Be ing somewhat relieved by this ei foi mancc, he has a chance 1 1 look around him, and see that he has put bis fo 't through a band box and into the crown of his wife's bonnet ; has broken the I im of his Fauanuv bat, which was hanging in the same closet, and foiu about a yard of bugle trimming from a new cloak. All this trouble is due directly to his wife's infatuation in hang ing up her dresse s inside out. lie immedi ately starts alter her. and impetuously urg ing her to the closet, excitedly and almost prruaueiy ltwimates hia ileubts about the.e being a pocket iu the ihvsi, anyway.
