A tittbpry owl on the Iwlfry t.Ttvet S.-vr blinking grave at the rising snn : "Ifs a shame." l, tmUX, at, this enrlv honr, For the sun to pet ttp, ami nothiug Uoiie Wati hthg all night, And never a bite." A Thomas cat on that break of day, Hunerj as ever a cat couM be. Prowling around in a gingerly w4f, Crftne to the foot of that tall bellfree Prow J in (r ftl! tiilit; tint nevet a bile. "What's tliat tip there o i the topof the linbae H looks like a Sird," said the Thomas cat. "Something lielow moves like a mouse." Said the owl, "It's bieakfastt hurrah for that. Wailing all night, Itut at last a bite." "I'll go for that bird," said the Tom eat soft; "I'm after that mouse," haid the owl, "down there." Tlie owl went down and the rat aloft. Ami ibey met half-way on the belfry stair, Waiting all night, Now surely a bite; As both were blind in that morning sun. Neither the other could piainlv see; "Fst, pst," hissed the cat, "Kihool," said the owl. As they clawed for each other quite av agelee, And With all their might. Tiled eaeh olhet to bite. Frantic and fierce was the conflict, too, Fearful the scratches and hoots of pain, Till the owl to a lofty beam suddeuly Hew, JicRving Mie Tom cat scratching in vain A tertible fight, I?tlt both got a bite. "This seems," said the owl, "some horrid tui-take ;" "You tiiiMUulerstood," said the cat with a Innvn ,'" , Let's luih an apology formally make." Then the o I he went, up, and the cut went dou li Each got a bite, P.iil tiio kind wasn't right. afoul o j a y iLi:jii:nu "Yon had better go below, sir," said the ttinti ai the wheel. "It's, a law, bad day, ant! you are not imed to this 'tie weather." I am well protected onanist it," I re plied ; "I couldn't May below now. IT we have to encounter icebergs, I had rather be ii bete." He looked at mo a moment, And then ni'Utemt, with a grim smile "It ttiaMeiB little whete you arc, if we do meet any." He hail scat cely spoken, when the liKk ottt's voice rang out, shin ply mid startlingl) : "let I lee 1 dend ahead At the same instant wo saw a bnc ob ject looming up in the ghaut), scarcely two lalln'tiis' length ahead of us. The wheel turned like lightning, and tliovos.sel swung suddenly mound. "My liod !"' I cited, seising the old man's arm. "Are you mad ?' lie thiew me oil", tieicely, and held he wlici-l ttowu with almost superhuman stieiigth. Another instant, and we went crahii'g into the mountain of ice, striking it with our broadnide. The ship quivered violently, mid gioaned like a human being in tin dial agony. Tlie tali mastsaud yards, which were of iron, snnpied as though they had been ieer!s, ami heavy masses of ice "Forward, there !" shouted the captain Again. "Ay, ay, sir." "What do you see ahead ?" "Nothing hut ice, sir?" He had hardly spoken, wheri a tremen dous, stream of water burst from the ice bet g ntl swept down upon the decks. The men could scarcely stand against it. There was a rush of passengeis from below, and they s wb lined out on deck, thinking that the veSSel was sinlciii;. "Drive them back !" shouted the captain. "The hatches and doors must be closed, or the ship will be tilled with Water in an tu ft ant." There was a despeinle srrtigglpj but the passengers were finally forced below, and the doors and hatches secured. Stil! the ttater rushed down upnti the decks from the dizzy bights of the bferw. The vessel rolled and locked violently; ahd at every stiain her hull creaked alarmingly: The men were Completely dieiifched, and colld scarcely keep their footing. I had not left my post by old Ben, and was wet through to the skin ; but I could not m'jve. I was powerless to stir. "This can't last much longer," Said Hen as he held the wheel hard down. "This heavy fall of water, and thin constant thumping against the ice, will knock her to pieces in a few nlinutea, if she is iron." Tlie fog seemed to be growing- lighter, and I could see more of the iceberg. As far as my sight could reach in any direc tion there was nothing but the clear crystal surface with its huge fissures and jagged pinnacles. Every minute the ship would Clash against the fearful mass. and I felt that old Ben was right. Wo could not stand it much longer. The rush of water lessened, and soon ceased entirely: but lite fall of blocks of ice le-cotnilieuced. The captain Ciied out "Forward, there I" "Ay, y. sir !" 'What do you see ahead?'' There whs no answer. A deep silence reigned along the deck for a minute or two, but then the time seemed greater to us. Then the reply came clearly and slowly "There's clear water a huudrud fathoms ahead, sir, and the fog is lifting," Not a man atirrert nr spoke The vessel moved slowly and painfully fot Ward. An other moment and we saw the end of the terrible mountain of ice. Three minutes more, and our stern was clear of it, and we were running in open water, and the ky was biigb.tetiing. Still not a sound was heard until the captain's voice broke the stiilness : "Ijot ns pray." In voluntarily we a'.l fell on our knees, and the captain, in earnesr, ttembliiif; tones, gave thanks to the God of heaven for our deliverance Ironi our great danger. Yes, we were free from the danger, and in half an hour the fog had eumely disap peaied. Then, as the sun came out, we could see our icelieig a few miles astern, tiAhtng and glittering in the brilliant light It was an immense berg, and we had ample cause to be thankful that it had dealt so lif-h ly with Its. We had Buffered fearfully from our colli sion, and now ihat the danger was passed, we could afford io asceitaiu the extent of our damages. Our masts wete so complete ly destroyed that I hey were of no use to us at all ; our hull was bent And crushed in several places, but fortunately no holes had been made in it by the ice. The immense came ciashinc down upon the deck. , It whs a moment of tearful honor. We had strength of this portion of the steamer had escaped destitiction for the time, but bow j alone saved the entire vessel from destruc loug could this last? We had scarcely ; tiou, but the strain on it had been so great stiuck be foie the captain was at the wheel. , that a dangerous leak had been spuing. "That was well done, Hen," be said, j This e endeavored to stop, but wit Ii only hoarsely, to ihe old steersman. "If we bad paitial success, and during the remainder struck her bow foremost, wed nave gone j down at once.

Xo one would have le cnguized the proud steamer that had sailed so gracefully out of port a few weeks be fore. We were terribly crippled, but, through the mercy of heaven, we were not helpless. Neither the engine, the screw, nor the rudder had been injured, and as we had on lea id au unusually large supply of coal, we felt confident that we could reach Li vet pool if we had favorable weather, though we should be several weeks behind our recular time. All the hope for a speedy voyage was ended now. We were glad enough to get to England on any terms.

TIIK TALE OF A C AX DID A TE, John Cain was a quiet, unobtrusive citi zen. He didn't long for fame and renown, nnrt be didn't care live cents wbetbet this great aud glorious country was ruled bv a one-horse Republican or a,two-hoise Dem- ! ocrat. " ; He had a pew in church, gave sixteen j ovtnces for a pound, and when a man look- ! ed him square in the eye Mr. Cain never j took a back seat. He was at home at a reasonable hour in the evening, never took part in the discussion t "Is lager healthy?" and intitiy a mAn wished that his HTe rolled on as evenly and peacefully as John Cain's. Dut alas ! the tempter came. In an evil j hour John Cain allowed the politicians to , get after him and surround him. They j said he was the strongest man in the conn- j try j that he cottld scoop out of his boots i tiny man set up in opposition ; that his vii lues were many and bis faults (XXVXM) that It wbs his duty to coine out and take a nomination in order that this pure and Incorruptible government be Continued. All this and much more they told him, and John Cain became puffed tip. j It surprised him some to think that he j had held his peaceful way along for forty i years like a knot-hole in a barn dnor, with- ' but any ttne having discovered what a fel- . low he ' but be concluded that, there was a nett- bra iu politics rtud thrtt it was all right. j The politicians covered John Cain With soft soap. They told him that the canvass ! shouldn't cost him a red, aud that he Ritll i should retire at eight every evening and rest assured that his interests would bo j properly eared for. It was tube a still hunt iu a vety quiet election, and he would ' ha.dly know what was going on. John ! Cain was an bttncsf unsuspecting idiot, and he swallowed their words as the on fiding fish absorbs the baited hook. j John Cain was duly nominated aud the band came out and serenaded him. With : the band came out several hundred electois who tilled the Cain mansion to overflowing! spit tobacco all over the hi tit.se; ille and , drank all they could find, broke down Ihe ; gate and weut ,ott" with tlnee cheeis for : John Cain. Ih fine the canvass was ten days old, half a r.'eii men called on Cain and gen:ly hinted to him that he must Come down with Ihe Migar." He didn't even know what ; "sugar" was until they explained. Tbey ' wanted money to raise a pole, to buy beer, ' to get slips piinted, and io buy titty other tilings with, all for his particular benefit, , and be had to baud out the money. j In the course of another week they drew j Cain out to make a speech at a ward meet- ; ing. He tried to claw ofT but they told ' him that the opposing candidate would ntll him nut of sight if he didn't coine out, and be went out. When he got through seak itig the crown drank at his expense, and Mr. Cain was nstoui&hctl at tho way the liquor want down, and the nioet astonished at. the way the bill footed up. J!e didn't reach home until midnight, and for the first time in his life he was going to bed w ith his Ixx'ts on. 11 is wife wouldn't speak to him, the hired girl left the house to save . her character, and John Cain w islicd that 1 the politicians had let him alone. Mote men came and crooked their fingers at him and whispered "sugar." They want ed money to buy some doubtful votes am t bite four-horse teams, and to mail his slips, and he had to come down. He hesi tated about it, but they told him that the opposing candidate fell sure of victory and that, acted as a spur. There was haidly a night that from four teen to two hundred and forty friends did not call on Mr. Cain to inform him as to the "prospects." . They drank up the cur rant wine that Mrs. Caiu had laid by for sickness, emptied her preserve Jars, and there wasn't a morning that she couldn't sweep out forty or fifty cigar stubs and a peck of mud. They all told Cain that he would beat the other mm so fai out of sight that it would take a caniei pigeon to find him, and he couldn't very well refine to go over to the corner grocery aud "set 'em up" for the boys. The crisis finally came. On the eve of election Mr. Cain's friends called for "sugai" again, and he had to sugar them. A big crowd called to wain him he would certainly be elected, and the saioon bill was .$28 more. Thirteen or fuirteeu men shook hands with his wife. One hun. dred or more shook hands with him, aud he had to get up and declare that he didn't favor women's rights, aud that be din ; that he was down on whisky, and yet loVtd it as a beverage ; that he wanted ttie currency inflated, and yet favored specie payments ; he favored the civil rights bill, and yet didn't; and in his brief speech Mrs. Cain counted twenty seven straight lies besides the evasions. Mr. Cain wanted to hold popular views, and he wanted to be on all sides at once. Ou the day of election they dragged him from poll to poll, stopping at all the saloons on the way ; he had to make 25G.000 prom ises, pull his wallet out until it. wus as ilat as a wafer, drink lager with some and cold water with others, and when night came he went home and tried to hug the hiicd girl, called Mrs. Caiu his dear old rhinoceros, and fell over the cradle, and went to sleep with his head under the stove. When Mr. Caiu arose in the morning and became sober enough to read the election returns he fouud he had scooped 'em as follows : A "Knight of the Gartrr." THE KF.ASIIX TUB JtkV.

Two men were found who were bold enough to attempt to face the situation. The suj. eritiletirient of tho Sund-iy school n yolmg man who admired Miss Smith, and repaid ed Pollock's Course of Time" assui-eiior to "Paradise Iost," and was excessively near-sighted, noticed that his reveied pas tor had dropped what he imagined to be a Ilnssian bather puise.

He turned deadly pale, leaned for a nioiriit against the railing of the stairs, then pcti;vdv went back lo his seat and buried his face in his hands. The senior deacon, fancying that the young man had suddenly been la ken ill, rose up and iu his turn went to the pulpit stairs, but before he had time to re cover the lost article his wife, au exceed ingly narrow old lady, with Very shaip edges, whispered in a shrill tone, Deacon Smertley, don't you dre to touch il !" and the gotvl deacon went meekly back to his seat.

Cornelius, who was sixty three , years old last Sep einlier, raised this year ' on the Widow Greenlee faim, French-on-ek township, this county, by his own labor, : except four days' work of a hired hand dnr i ing the wheat and bay harvest, the follow ' ing crops : 325 bushels of oats, 12.1 bushels of buckwheat, 500 bushels of Com in the ear, 150 bushels of potatoes, (fifty of which filled a' half-bushel measure), 600 large . heads of cabbage, and cut and put np three acres of wheat aud alxuit five tons of hay, besides taking care of his stock and doing j the usual chores 011 the farm. This for a man of sixty-three, on a farm generally considered as worn-out, is a go-id showing. Mr. Cornelius says : "I put the plow in to the beam." That, with steady, persistent and intelligent labor, is perhaps oue of the secrets of his success. There are hundreds of farms in this county, looked on as ex hausted, upon which a similar exhibit could I be made. With skilled and willing labor our agricultural resources are almost uu- i limited. In making a farm productive there ' is a gieat deal iu the land, but there is a great deal more in the man who tills it.
