Some of them were amusing themselves by tying an old tin kettle to the tail of a dog which they intended to ch ase i tlie others were looking on, and enjoying the Sport. The dog was a mete pup; but after a former experience, it did not seem inclined to take it quietly, but was whining pitcous ly, and vainly striving to escape from its tormentors, who were beating aud kicking it, to bring it to the ueccssary degree of alarm and anger. "Let that dog alone, will yon !" shouted a voice sufficiently loud and resolute to make theta desist and turn towards the sjeaker, who fearlessly advanced, took hold of and freed the dog from its encum brance, and permitted it to scamper off with a yelp of delight, ere tho astonished roughs could fully realize what occurred. "Is the dog yours?" said one of them, squaring np to the intruder defiantly. ,"Xo ; but. it isn't yours, and I won't have it bullied," was the firm but quiet reply. Whereby tlte blusterer collapsed and slunk back abashed. Cruelty to ani mals and cowardice are closely allied, and the whole gang were afraid of the young fellow who had bearded them so fearlessly, and whose broad shoulders, brawny arms and eagle eye indicated at a glance that his strength and courage were a match for any half dozen of them. So, standing still for a few minutes in their very midst, to show that he was uo afraid, the stranger quietly and uuosieuta tiously walked away. Caleb Murray, whose kind heart had prompted him to rescue the unfortunate t"g was & young engineer who knew from experience what it was to struggle unaided against adversity, and the value of a help ing hand. . Naturally enthusiastic and of an inquiring turn of mind, he had received a good practical education, and with a view to iKsfect himself in every depart ment of his chosen profession, had Icarnl carpentering and various allied handicraft. Unfortunately, when he had barely accom plished this, he lost both parents, and with them his means of support. This, how ever, only nerved him to exertion and be lieving that America otTeted better induce ments for an individual so circumstanced than the old country, he had the pluck to emigrate, to push his fortune in the new, and was to sail that very evening. The above narrated incident occurred during a spare hour before embarkation, while strolling about, keenly observant of all that he saw and heard, and ever ready to pick up any scrap of information from the innumerable sources in the busy world that then surronnded him. The most trivial event may mould our future. The little episode of th dog had au important bear ing on that of Murray. Next morning the Atlantic was well out at sea. Murray, who was somewhat sea sick, rose early and went on deck. As he recliued on one of the sets, the whining of a dog attracted his attention. Looking down he saw to his sstouishment that it was tlie cur which he bad rescued from the roughs ; which, on being noticed, wagged his tail, jumped up, laid his paws on his preserver and looked foi.dly into his face. The. unfortunate animal had lost his master, and for weeks had existed on charity. Murray's was the first kind ness he had experienced duiinghis vagrant I life. . JJcnt on attaching himself to his deliverer, he had followed him on board, ' and secreted himself, lik a stowaway, till there was no chance of his being put on shore again. , ,, lie was a long legared, uncouth cur, somewhat out of form from privation and the wandering life he had lately led. Bnt Murray took a fancy to and adopted him. He was of ah almost pure JScwfoundlnnd breed, ud eio the end of the brief voyage, EBEXSBURG, PA., FRIDAY, MAY 5, 1876. cleanliness, kindness and a plentiful diet had converted him Into a presentable dog, very different from the half starved animal which had smuggled himself on board. He was soon a general favorite. The pleasant voyage was nearly over. All look forward to to morrow's landing in New York, and little dreamt that a subtle current had carried them northward, con iderably out of their course, and well to wards a very different haven. Scarcely had the passengers retired for the night, and the watch been set, when the steamer gave a heavy bump, suddenly stopped, and then keeled over to one side. She had struck on a rock, and in a moment was placed in a position of the most im minent peril. The rock was a mere pin nacle, but all the more dangerous on that account; for it made a huge hole, through which the water poured in torrents. She drew less water forward than aft, and thorefore glided over it till about amid ships, where she stuck fast. There was deep water all around, and a steep rocky coast a quarter of a mile off. The night was intensely dark. They were out in their reckoning, and had lost their way. It was well that she stuck fast, at least for a time. Otherwise she might have sunk in deep water, or run stern on to greater danger. As it was, the passengers and crew had time to dress quickly and get on deck. The heavy ground swell made their posi tion more hazardous every moment. The long vessel alternately rose and fell at each end like a see-saw, thus grinding a larger opening, and increasing the likelihood of her parting amidships; a catastrophe from which few could hope to be saved. The unusual motion resulting from the peculiar situation made it difficult to hold a footing on deck. There was great coufusioii and terror. The captain kept his head clear, but it was impossible to restrain or calm the half frantic passengers, even if there had been time and opportunity. The constant rolling and pitching soon told on the vessel's strength. Ere a quar ter of an hour Itad elapsed, and before the boats could be got out, she-broko her back, the tjro halves bow and steru im mediately slid off the rock and sank in deep water. The majority of the shrieking pas sengers several hundred in number thus suddenly thrown i.ito the water, struggled for a time in the darkness and gloom, till, becoming exhausted and lie numbed, they succumbed to the inevitable and sunk. Murray, like most on b ard, had been taken aback by tho suddenness ef the final catastrophe which carried the steamer from under them. But. he was brave and self possessed in time of danger, and could swim a little. Vo rtunately he soon came across a hen-coop, which buoyed him up. He had scarcely seized it when he heard a faint cry for help, and in the darkness discerned a white figure striving to reach the support to which he was now clinging. Beaching out his hand, he helped a young girl to temporary safety, and the assistance which the coop afforded. Like himself, she could swim a little, but her dress clung about her and clogged her movements, and but for his timely aid she would soon have sunk like her mother and the majority of her fellow-passengers. The coop, however, was too small to sup port both, so that Murray had again to resort to swimming. But he could not desert his young companion in her sad and lcrilous emergency, and therefore tried to tow the raft toward the shore. It proved fortunate for. both that they had thus met amid the waste of waters in which they were individually struggling for dear life. As they progressed, presum edly landward, Murray tried to cheer the flagging spirits of his fellow-castaway. The distant barkiug of a dog attracted their attention. Murray recognized it in a moment. All had now become silent at the scene of the wreck ; and for all they knew, they were the only survivors. Nero, however, had escaped uninjured as the steamer went down, and was at home in tile occanr where h;s water-dog instincts had full play. His quick ear had heard them talking, and, eager for companion ship, he barked and swam towards them. "Nero ! Nero 1" shouted Murray. To which the dog replied by a joyous yelp, and ere long was alongside the swimmers. To him they owed their subsequent safe ty. In the darkness they had been drift ing and swimming seaward. Nero's sub tle scent and sagacity at once detected this, and showed it by barking and swim ming in an opposite direction, occasionally looking round to invite, them to follow, which they at onco did. They had not proceeded far when a dark object loomed before them. This proved to be. a rock, on which they found a safe temporary resting place till daybreak, Nero helping to select an easy landing for them on its steep sides. But for bis aid, both would inevitably have been carried out to sea, and drowned. At length day dawned, and help came, to rescue them from their still jcrilous posi tion. - It was fortunate for them that they had landed on this rock. On the inacces sible and surf-beaten coast close by, they would have been dashed to pieces. A few others, chiefly swimmers, were saved in au equally miraculous manner. , I Rosa Blake's relatives arrived shortly ' afterward, and carried the motherless and ' alUictcd girl off to her home in New York. After traveling with her parents in Europe, ibey had taken passage for America, Only an hour before sailing, a business telegram had made it imperative that her father should remain a few days longer in Eng land. His wife and daughter, therefore, proceeded, leaving htm to follow by next steamer. The detention doubtless aaved his life. Murray, who likewise proceeded to New York, was not forgotten by Rosa or her grateful father. To htm they owed her life. Singularly enough, Blake bad wit nessed Murray's little episode with the Liverpool roughs, and immediately recog nized him on introduction. That alone bad favorably impressed him toward the young mechanic. His courage and kind ness toward bis daughter bad sinee won his esteem. And not only was Murray a frequent and welcome visitor at the house, but be was helped to obtain a sure footing in a leading firm, where his talent and en ergy soon made him valued, and ultimately raised him to the enviable position of junior partner. While thus prospering in a business point of view, his private worth and virtues were fast making way to establish his social happiness. As ' Rosa developed into womanhood, her youthful partiality for her deliverer gradually ripened into love ; so that when Murray asked her band, he found that her heart had long been his. They married, and have since prospered. Rosa's fortune furnished capital for her husband's projects, which, shrewdly plan ned, and skilfully executed, have brought both wealth and fame. His office is a favorite resort for tho most intelligent and upright business men of the city ; while his home is one of the brightest and happiest to be found any where. And in the latter, Nero is of course, a great favorite. The gratitude of the dumb animal was not excelled even by that of the master. Neither of them found his kindness unrewarded. RAILED TO DEATIT. On the 3d of February, 1SCG, several girls were murdered in a mysterious way at I'faf fenberg, near Kaiserslantern, in Rhenish Bavaria. Among them was a Miss Juliet Shcffer, the daughter of a wealthy miller, who was found to have been strait geld to death during her father's absence from his house. The police made efforts for the discovery of the guilty parties, but not the slightest, clue was obtained. The affair was almost forgotten, when a thrilling in cident at the Kaiserslantern opera heuse not only brought it again into vivid light, but also led to the discovery of the mur derer of a number of young creatures. On that occasion Donizetti's "Daughter of the Regiment" was played. During the second act a loud cry resounded. Theu a man arose and, pointing to a well dressed gentleman in a proscenium box, he shouted: "Polict ! arrest that man I" A great up roar ensued. Three or four police asked the shouting man what he meant. Point ing again to the mentioned man, he said : "Arrest that man ! He is the murderer of 18G6 !" This added to the excitement. The gentleman in the proscenium box, upou hearing what had occurred, turned pale, and said that the man who called him a murderer must be insane. But the ac cuser, who gave his name as Valentine Ery, made the following startling state ment : Oa the evening of the 3d of Feb ruary, ISCO, abont dusk, I escaped from the house of correction in this city. Being afraid of falling in with the gens d'armes, I climbed into one cf the linden trees in front of the sawmill at Ffaffenberg. 1 could look into the attic window, which was lighted. I saw in it a young woman who was lying asleep in bed ; a few minntes later this man entered on tip toe, and he seized the woman's head and with a ham mer he deliberately drovo a nail into her head. She writhed a moment and then expired, lie covered the spot where he drove the nail iu with her dense hair and then left. I was so horror stricken that I was una bio to niovo or speak for' several minutes. I tied, an hour afterward, and crossed the Alsatian frontier. I do posi tively identify the man as the murderer of the young woman. I did not tell this be fore, because, being an cx-couvict, I was afraid that it might not he credited." Tbe accused gentleman had listened to this horrible charge with visiblo agitation. He gave his name as Bcitliold Humbert, and said he had left IZaiserslautern in lSO, having been a school master there, and had gone to New York, wbere he had been a music teacher. He denied the charge, but his conduct was so suspicious that he was detained in custody. On the following morning the remains of the unfortunate woman, the miller's daughter, were ex humed, and in her skull the fatal nail was fonnd. Tho sight of. the skull with the nail in it caused Berthold Humbert to con fess be had murdered her, as well as four other young girls, on the same day at Pfaffenherg. He refused to say what his motive bad been. ' TELEORAPiTERsare guilty of sad blunders sometimes. The Prince of Wales tele graphed from India for "Five Milner's" Mtlner lieing a great safe manufacturer "three with drawers, two without." The message reached London : "Five milliners here with drawers, two without," , ' The Automatic OfirjH't Sicecpcr. I James E. Calliper, is a Sixth street man and a machinist of considerable inventive ! talent, which has recently developed itself j in a new Automatic Carpet Sweeper. The ! idea is an excellent one. All the woman of the house has to do is to wind it up, set it on the carpet and move a spring, when away it goes across the room, taking up every particle of dust, old paper and lint, and depositing It in an internal receptacle. As soon as it strikes the wail it hops just ! its own Jength sidewise, and goes back ward over the next breadth, and it keeps this np till the carpet is swept, and it stops in the last corner, from which it is picked np and emptied in the ash barrel. Calliper has spent many pleasant hours in showing his neat, practical idea to ad miring neighbors. When he went away to work 3-esterday morning, bo wound the machine up and laid it away, but during the forenoon some lady friends of Mrs. Calli-er called in, and she thought she would like to sbowtnem how nice the new sweeper worked. She took it out, and winding it up some more, as long, in fact as she had strength, she sat it d nvn on the parlor carpet, and touched the 'spring. Away it scooted like a scared rabbit, and struck the wall with a bump that knocked down a good chunk of plaster, at the same time hopping out into the middle of the room, and making a dive for the feet of one of the ladies, causing her to hop around like an excited politician in a ward row. It next tipped over the rocking chair and grabbed up a mouthful of the surplus of Mrs. C's wrapper. She shook it off with a hasty scream, while the visitors mounted chairs and held up skirts out of its clutches. It made a short circle around the room, and struck out into the hall, whete it wound up the tail of the family cat and a short, sharp and decisive conflict ensued, wheiein tlie cat lost four inches of a valua ble tail. ' Tho row brought the Spitz dog on the scene, who attacked the machine with great fury, but in five seconds he had a bare stripe down the middle of his bnck, which looked as though a hasty streak ft lightning had passed that waj The woman folks fled through the dining-room into the kitchen, while the cat ncd lg took refuge on the garret staiis. Tle machine danced after the ladies as thouoh it was af.'aid of being lonesome, gathering up a pair of gum shoes, the stove-lifter and iron-holder in its way. Mrs. Calliper at this juncture had tin presence of mind to open the kitchen-donr and rlee for her life. The idiotic contriv ance at once sought the open air. and nftei cavorting around on the back porch for a few minutes it tumbled down into the back yard, where it amused itself by racing up and down after the terrified chickens and shaving the grass off as clear as a skul! that had been operated on by an cxj.cit Comanche.

"I can't; say that I am Farticularly fond of it," he muttered, "but eat it if it is ou the table." NUMBER m. IilI,Li:i iT TJIU ILs'TAJi.
