The captain's ang-iy passion were to some degtee checked by it, though now and then they broke forth so suddenly that the object of his ftuy received a blow te. fore it could interfere. We had ai lived within a couple of days sail of the English Coast, -Alien, Itecomin exasperated by onie blunder of Hastings, he hurled a 1. laying pin, which struck him on the bead The vjHsir fellow suddenly clapied both hands to the sHt with a yell and rushed in o the forecas'le. The captain, afiei having thrown the missile. apieared, as I thought, sni prised at not hearing anything, and 1 noticed him glance nervously aloft. But still hearing nothing he recovered his courage and oidered Mr. Rayuor to "call that man on deck Again." The mate, ge ling no answer to his call, went elow and found Hastings delirious, lie reported that he believed tho man to be in a ciitirnl condition, and the captain di rected him to do whatever he t Initio lit bes for his relief. I think Opt. Phelps, like some other hard cases that I have saih-d with, did not dare venture into the fore castle himself, for fear that he might never get out again alive. That night it became necessary to cull all bauds out to reef again, and while we were on the yards a thrilling cry aiose from the Iwiws, such as might well have been raised by a tntuiac. A human form was seen by several of ns eiect 011 the rail, near the fore swifter, and then a l.rud sph.sh was heard in the water under our bow. Mr. Rajiiiii and the captain, who were on deck, lushed to the side; a hat was seen f.ira moment boboing upon the ctest of the sea, and the same dreadful yell of insanity was lepeated, even move shrill than befoie. Captain I'belps echoed the cry. but faintly, and fell insensible to the deck. Mr. Raynor hailed us on the topsail yard with a voice like a 1 111 in pet blast ""Lay down ftom a.olt ! Clear away the small boat !'' We thought the mate was quite as mad as the poor suicide ; and so he was for the moment. IJ the lime we reached the d-ck he was ready to countermand the or der. Everything was lii.ideu iu daikness, the wind and sea fast inci easing ; and it was baidly possible, even then, for the clumsy little liai to live. 'The captain, still nitcoin-ei his, was cat lied below, with many a mu.ter. d wish iliat lie niiln uevi come up aoaiu ; and bt ter weie the o.r.hs of Vf iigeaice, mingled wi h kind wmds and teais h-r 0111 tlepaited messmate, that went 11 Kind among our wakeful little circle during that Motmy, dismal night.

Si rolling along the streets at early even ing, leaily lor anything in the way ot" amusement that mini turn up, my at .entioii was caught by a postet announcing, the m ifoimauvu ot "Prof. Holbrook, Hit unrivaled and wo, Id-renowned veulrilo. quist."

"Sav-d! Where?" When you jumped ovei board raving mad." He laughed his own natural, hearty laugh; not the unearthly one which he sent down from chimneys and mastheads. "I never jumped oveiboaid, Ashlon," said be ; -and I never as any more mad than I am at this moment. It was only plan !o frighte'i old Phelps, and I think it succeeded but too ell. If he had been tried for his life and I had thought, him iu danger, I should have appeared in conn and fiighlened him again 10 save his lite But be could not be found, and I nevei heard of him since. My madness was all a sham, and the man ovei Is mid was only a bundle of old duds, surmounted by my .I1 hat. I slipped down into the f..rejak and lay concealed ill the night after the ship arrived, when I stole out and went ashore Of course you understand the ciies you beaid ?"

And that's the only haunted ship that ever I was in. I've heard :.f others, but probably those cases might all be explained iu some similar way. - GOOD BYK, DEAR I TWO WOJIt. WHO WE HE TOO LONG SATING IT.' The Providence (H. I ) Journal says : A funny incident occurred at the west tntl of the tailioad station yes ei day morning, which at one time thieatened seri. us re suits, and it was only by go.nl foitune that one if not two lives weie not lost. As the 6:43 train for Wick ford Junction Was a Is -ur to leave, two women weie noticed appa rently (mining each other good bye. One was standing on the pla form of a car; the other was standing 011 the plalfoim that inns tint li'.m that end of the station. They had hold of hands as if lor a purling giasp. The train staitid slowly; lime seemed lo be no need of the final taiewell just yet, so the woman on the depot plat tm 111 walked along, still keeping hold of the hand ol her friend. The sjieed of the Haiti .iucieased, so did the Sieed of the woman 0:1 he plaiftum. tti they ki-pl hol.i of hands. A young man, an inter ested obsei ver of the tiansactloM, could not qui'e make up his mind whether she thai was otf the train wished to get on, 01 she that was oil wished to get. ..ft. The sjeci! of the tram si ill iucieased, until the wo man on the plalfoim began to trot, ami ihen to 1 un. Si ill t hey kept hold of bauds. Those acquainted with the locality will reinemlter that, the platform extends some distance from the slat imi. and at the end ol it a fence commences, .hicli inns along a cuple of feet or so from :he Hack. The woman oil the plalfoim by this time was going pretty fast, and when she 1 cached the end of the plat f.n 111 she didn't Mop. Still they kept hold ot hands. 'I lie tesull was the woman 011 the pla form fell down lietween the fence and 1 he moving t rain, and pulled the woman from the car down theie with hei. Theie the two weie piled up iu a small space, in imminent danger ol getting iintiei the Ham that was moving quickly by them. There was a seen id of silent, astonish ment ; and then they let I, ccimnnd. The iniciesi.d speciator now became a fiighlened sjieciaoi, and then a lescuer. He 1 11 1 1 d to the aid of these unfni lutiatcs, exH-c ing eveiy moment lo see one or both caught by the train and di tigged under I he wheels. Befoie he leached them, however, one in some way had managed to get through the fence mid out of the way, while the other lav 011 her back, kicking I'rauli cally. 1'eaimg she wotil.l, iu her wild en deavois, stnke the train to her own great sonow, the young man ie.iclie.1 in thiough li e fence, caught her hy the feet, and held them HI the train had passed, when she arose and iuquiied if she was peifcctly safe. A Miserable Failcke.

All of a sudden we were staril.'d by ft scream a shriek that could come fiom none but the tlnoai of a fiighlened woman ano we stood still, so full of ej tor and wild alaim had lieen the ciy. Theie was in front of us a rock. On one side led a path, on the other the same. Fiom the oiher side of the barrier seemed income theciy. I anixed first on the fpot, a cleared space hemmed iu by r.-cks, and my ees hehe'd what till then had never so expand ed their sockets with honor. On the ground tieside a bowlder, against .which one exquisite bate aim, clasned with a jeweled bracelet, w as stietched.Uy a young Mexican gulol astonishing loveliness, hei wondeiful lieiiuty veiled by a mass of black, wavy hail, that fell in a rfect cloud to her leet. She lay as still and white as one dead on the Milid lock. Honor fioze me al the next sight. At the .apposite side of the iuclosure, and titty feet away, was one of ihelaigest seieiits 1 ever saw.

T he moustioiis seiK-ui which I at once took for a species of anaconda was slow lv extending his shiny length towaid bis piey, his neck seeming to stietch like a lints- .if rubber out of the fiightful folds 011 the rock ; lor the head and nick elongate d, yet the horiible ci did not deciease. li s shoit, foiked tongue, darted loilh venge fHlly, aii-l his w icked, dull eyes snapped with diabolical ehgeiuess, yet he steadily came on. Scipent and girl were haidly sixteen yntids apart, and the girl still lay as lile less, to all appeal aiices, aa if the vital spai k had tied. -For heaven's sake, save her drag her away !" yelled Wilson. In his excitement her drew his revolver and fired a shot at the bead of the snake, which had no ciF.-ct. 'I he sound of his voice and the crack of the shot bioughi me lo my senses, for I was Mauduig like one paralyzed.

She was Wolideiously beaulilul ; yet she I.iy motionless, every moulded contour of her liguie in icHse, w hite and rigid, classic as a maible siaiuu of innocence itself. I took the inanimate form of the gill in my aims and lushed away from the maw of the huge snake. In my excitement I could not lielp shuddering at the frightful presence oft he sei jK-tit. Few would willing ly be near such an object, and, wh. thei by intuition or stipe rstitiou I knew not, there seemed to be a lull fascinai ion, horrible, but inesislibe, in the crealuie's presence. I lushed past W iisoti with my burden. A toirent was at IimikI. I laid my frail bui den on a mossy bed, while Wilson cau.e to the Siot oppoiiuiiely, bringing with him a hatful of coid water. A gentle application of this the fust time plod need no effect. A second and thiid. more violent, seemed fi unless. She lay like one dead. We became alai med. Was she really dead? We bote her to the side of the boiling torrent, and (louied the icy lorieiit on her pure forehead. All of a sudden she seemed to return to the posses sion r her senses. She stalled up, slated at us, iu affiight, gaz.-d about tier, and then seemed to be I lying to lecall the uietu oiy of all that had befallen her. All at once she clasjM-d her hands to hei face, and with a wild sin 1. k of lenoi, she fell iuto my arms, ciymg out : "Por Dios, le anaconda !" Then she fainted again. The fiightful encounter with the seipeut had absolutely crazed the pooi giil. Waier wasag-mn ajT plied, and tins lime she awoke wnh less dilliculty than befoie. We watched the dark eyes un old with no little appreheu sion. She let-aul. d ns with the same vacant stare. I said as soot hiug as I could : Don't fear, Senoiita, you are among friends." She seemed to gather her senses and lake courage. After a little while she was enable lo explain to us that she lived in the neighboihieNl will her father and family; that she had strolled out among the nioun tains fuit her than usual 011 the present oc casioti ; that she had sat down to rest, and that all of a sudden her appalled vision en countered the ugly head .if the serpent ad vancing towaid her. She screamed and fainted. We arrived on 1 he scene a mo ment later, and lite reader knows the rest. We told her we were English travelers, that we could have 110 greater pleasure than to befriend her, and that we would see her home. This we did, and, having received the thanks of herself and lelatives, westarted to lo.k again after the seieiit. 1 he animal was eitner sunning himself or plotting moie mischief in a state of d -bbeiative iesise pel haps both.

The ciealuie had drawn back as if stunned, with the blood flowing frwm his 1iead, and his eyes apparently demob ish.-d.

We could not get another shot till he became moie quiet. Si we waited. "See, he is trying to escape !" c. ied Wil son. It was even so. He rattled at headlong speed down the mountain, over rocks everything. We got on a tall r.K:kt where we could i.veilook the scene.

Ijib grade) litem! me ; and as our Itoys and gills are essentially a leading class, and the demand for this literature is laige, the bookMoies and news slamls are stocked with it. An unnatural develop ment of sent iment, at the expense .f jutlg ii.ciii, ie.uis the young of both sexes to paliouize that species of sensational ro mance, slanting fiction, 01 even cn.nse vul gaiily, that is so uuspaiingly meted out to them iu the novels and stoiy patters that have attained immense ci.cula1n.11 iu tho laud. Th'ey devour with avidity the ac count of imaginary adventures, and billow with all the interest of absolute reality, through the pages of these highly wrought lileiary pioduclioi s the wavering foil lines of some fictitious hero or equally mythical heroine. And the same iriesisttble pench ant for these sensai iotial romances that has enthralled the intellects of much of our adult imputation has become a kind of sec ond naiuie aitli our rising geneiatiou. It has Itecotiie woven with their veiy being so hat it would appear to be a uecessaty ad jnnclto their existence.

W e advise patents to exclude front their homes the filthy story papeis ahich con stitute "the lileiatuie of ciime," and we would warn them that when once a youth has y ielded his undeveloped intellect to the subtile and poisonous influence, he endau gets the safety of his intellectual amplia tions. No more will he aspire to true and subs anlial lileiatuie; no more will his ambition prompt htm lo or. vet intellectual study ; 110 moie will he seek tu make ev erything subservient to the increase of his in elligetice and the pni-r culiuieof his genius and talents; solid bteratuie will 110 longer have any chai ms for htm is his tastes become subiiieiged iu the yawning gulf of debasement. Many a young man of the brightest tal ents, whose career at school was' honorable and successful, has thwarted his high an ticipations by the habit of reading "the lileiatuie of crime." It is then, the sol emn duty of patents and guaidiatis to see that their sous and daughters do hot read the intellectual iH.ison which can be found on the counter of neaily every peiiodical! store iu the land. A Materialized Hole. Take a sheet of stilt wining per and fold it into a lube an inch in diameter.

The as tonishing effect will Ite ploduced of a hole, appaietitly Ihe size of die cross section of the tube, made through the left hand.
