A LEAP FOR LIFE.
DV WILLIAM DURTOX.
After my discharge from tho* hospital at Ila
▼ona, I shipped in tho American barquo Indo;
lJaptaln' Kbtfbrt Jj—- bound -tb'
and then round tho Horn to' tho
Western coast *of North America. She was a
large vessel, of some seven hundred tons rogis
tdr, with a handsome poop, top gallant forecastle
and all other points of n flash ship. • The captain
was a native of Jersey, and tho crow wore a mix
ture of Americans, British and Spaniards* with a
sprinkling of woolly-heads, or “snow balls,” as
jve called the negroes.
Wo had not been a week out, ore very groat
dissatisfaction prevailed among tho crow, for the
captain, with unaccountable perversity, did not
allow ns half enough junk (I. c. salted beef) to
our meals 5 and even what wo did get, was what
sailors call “oW horse,” viz : hard, tough, lean,
stringy stuff, devoid of nourishment. Tho usual
allowance of junk on ship-board la one pound
and a half for each num per diem; but lam sure
wo did not gel more than half that quantity.—
Tho captain used to come on deck every morn
ing, and stand by the steward as ho weighed out
tho junk from tho “harness cask,” to seo that
wo did not get an ounce over what he had order
ed, On tho other hand, this captain allowed us
thrice as much grog as la usual. But sailors,
although very fond of rum, can’t Hvc upon It j
and throe quarters of a pound of “old horse,”
and a few rotten biscuits, quite alive with “wee
vils/’ was a poor day’s ajlowanco for a hearty
follow.
Our firstmato ofter remonstrated with tho cap
tain on his cdnducl, and plainly told him that tho
men would not submit to it; but the only reply
the captain ado was to toll. him to mind what
ho was about, or ho would “break him and Acre
him np/’-~moanlng that ho would send tho mote
forward as a common sailor, and* work him to
death. At length, after a long and fierce dis
cussion in tho forecastle, wo all went aft one
morning in a body, and complained through the
carpenter, ns spokesman, that wo had not enough
<o oat. Captain L listened without Inter
ruption,and then coolly turned round and said—
“ Steward, go down into tho cabin, and bring
my pistols.”
Wo looked at one another In silence.
In a couple of minutes tho seward returned
with tho pistols, and, with a face ns pale as death,
handed them to tho captain. Tho latter coolly
placed them both on full cock, and laying them
side by sldo on the top of tho binnacle, crossed
his arms, and glared round at every soul of us
cro ho spoke.
“Now, rtlon,” cried he at length, between his
tooth, “all I’ve got to say Is, that you aro mis
taken If you think you are going to got tho up
per hand of mo. lam yonrcnptain,and tho law
gives mo power to do what I like. You didn’t
ship to bully mo. Go for’ard to your duty, and
tho first man that hesltatof’, or gives mo any jaw,
I’ll shoot him as I would a pigeon!”
Wo tumbled to the forecastle In a body, and for
hours after, tho captain walked tho dock big with
his achievement.
Wo had light baffling winds Tor many days, and
tho temper of tho captain grow perfectly savage.
By-and-by came a calm and ho was a complete
madman. Ho stormed and swore from morning
to night, and “hazed” us all, from tho cabin boy
up to tho mate. Onr allowance of meat was
worse than over, and ho stopped grog altogether,
and put us on half allowance of water, under pre
tence that ho feared to run short If tho calm
lasted. But when a broozo sprung up at tho ex
piration of four days, our allowance remained
tho same—half moat, half water, no grog I Tho
sailors grow half desperate, and curses both loud
and deep wore handled from mouth to mouth,
and indistinct menaces muttered.
■ By-and-by it grew whispered In tho ship that
tho captain had had bcoup-de-solcil, or sun stroke
before leaving Havana, and that bo bad drank
freely of brandy ever since, and was consequent
ly really insane.to a certain extent. This would
explain his ponduct, and wo all wore Inclined to
acoopt It ns tho proper solution5 but the captain
had certainly never yet committed any act which
would legally bo hold proof of Insanity j for all
that ho did, although highly cruol and tyrannic
al, was within tho bounds of that fosrful amount
of almost irresponsible power that tho law al
lows to son captains.
Wo had boon throe wooksont, when it was my
morning to watch on dock. Six bolls (7 o’clock)
had Just boon struck, and I was engaged colling
eway tho lino of tho log, which had boon hovo by

VOL 41,
order of the mate, then In charge of the dock,
when Captain L- — unexpectedly came out of
the cabin. I noticedthathebadowild, nervous
look, for ho ghncod around and aloft, fust as a
man might do when suddenly aroused from a
dream.
“What’s the course 7” he abruptly demanded
of the man at the wheel.
‘‘South east by east, sir.”
The captain then • stepped up to the binnacle
and looked atthc compass. Turning round with
an oath, he struck the man a blow in the mouth
that knocked him away from the wheel, and
thundred—
“Fou take the spokes in Jiand I You know no
more about steering than your mother I”
(Such were the exact words, for I distinctly
remember them.)
The poor fellow, who was ode of tho best helms
men in tho ship% took hold of tho spokes again,
the trickling down his chin, and muttered,
“I was steering to a haira-breadth.”
“What’s that you qay 7”
“I say I was steering as well as any man could
and you’re a tyrant, captain.”
Tho captain’s face grow black with passion,
and tho light foam flew from his Ups, as he
screamed—
“Mr. Jackson, clap this follow in irons ! No,
seize him up—make a spread-eagle oi him! I’ll
teach him to too thojrmrk!”
The mate, Jackson, in vain attempted to soothe
(he madman, who compelled his officers to “seize
up” the unfortunate sailor—that is, to lash his
wrists to the shrouds, with his back bare for pun
ishment. Tliis ip called making a “spread ea
gle.” I dare not dilate on the sickening scene
that ensued. Suffice it that the captain with ins
own hand flogged the man most brutally in pre
sence of all hands, and not a soul of us dared to
speak.
That night we all signed a “round robin,” that
is, a paper stating a grievance, or petition, with
the names written in u circle, so that not one can
be pitched upon as the ringleader—addressed to
the chief mate, stating that wo all felt that our
lives were not safe intho hands of the captain,
as ho was obviously Insane, and requesting the
mate to take command of the ship, and place the
captain in confinement. We sent this to Mr.
Jackson by one of the boys, and in a quarter of
an hour the mate came forward^
“Men,” said ho, “do you know what you arc
about 1 Yon are in open mutiny—and you know
what the penalty for that is. For God’s sake let
us have no more of this. Captain L is
captain, and, his will is law. We must all sub
mit to lt;^. - W.4ro f to do my duty strictly, I
should show/Vtlfis,” pointing to the round
robin, “to tbercaptain ; but I don’t want to make
matters worse. Let us got to port, and then
complain as you please. Hulf'oryourownsakes
—and for my sake—don’t mutiny.”
.Wo all respected the mate, and his words made
a great impression. We consulted together, and
the prndepcc of the majority overcame the fierce
Impulse •of.tho holder spirits. It was, however,
tacitly understood, (hat If matters grow much
worse, wc would risk the dreadful penally ot
mutiny by seizing the captain? for we now con
sidered ho was undoubtedly insane,although the
mate acted rightly enough in holding aloof at
present, ns the captain had not yet evinced Him
self incapable of managing the ship.
Whether any whisper had leaked out in the
cabin, through the steward or officers, I cannot
tell, but the coplain undoubtedly suspected wiiat
had passed. At noon the next day ho camo_ on
deck, with a double barrelled grin in his hands,
and deliberately loaded It with ball, tumour., pnfAf
once. When he had don 6 this, ho .called all
hands aft, and in a language that sufficiently io
jji.c^mcl v ,front Ijs-wUcLducoherpnoy, th&t-’ho was
undoubtedly insane, ho addressed the crow wind
ing up*\vUh tho words—
“ You tliink to got 'the upper hand of mo, do
you 7 You will mutiny—you will take the ship
away j(Vom me?. I’ll make an example—l’ll
show you whom you have to deal with! Mr.
Jackson, let those two men ho seized up this
minute, for I'H nuke spread eagles of ’em sure
as I live.”
Ah he spoke tho captain pointed to two of the
nearest men—one an American, the other an
Englishman. These poor fellows looked round
at their messmates, and seeing how undecided
all were, they suddenly sprang into the rigging—
running aloft for safety.
The captain's eyes glared like a wild beast's
and seizing his pun, he shouted—
“Conui down this moment, both of ye, or I'll
shoot ye!”
They saw the threatening movement,and heard
the command ; but this only caused (hem to run
up tho rigging higher and higher. Twice more
the captain hailed them; and then ho raised his
piece, and quick as lightning, levelled and fired.
A burst of execration from us all followed, for
the ball had struck the Englishman, and broken
his leg. Ho fell liko a wounded bird into tho
main tpp, and screamed in agony.
“Oh, Godf what hove you clone, Capt. L-— 1”
exclaimed the horror-stricken mate. “You have
committed murder I”
“No. I have not,” answered tho captain. “I
ordered tho follow down, and If ho won’t obey,
it’s mutiny, and tho law will justify me in killing
him, or killing you cither —so mind wbut you
say.”
'The mate turned aside, and when one of tho
oldest seamen whispered in his car—“ Say the
word, sir, and wo will clap the madman in Irons,”
ho only shook his head, and burle'u his face in
his hands.
Meanwhile tho American, a fine young follow,
knowm by tho soubriquet of “Boston Bill,” had
ascended to tho royal yard, and was looking
down on dock to seo what course matters wore
talcing. Tho captain, not satlstlcd with disabling
one man, at this moment pointed Ids gun at him,
and hoarsely ordered him on dock, threatening
to shoot him it ho refused.
“Como down, man, for heaven's sake!” re
peated Ibe mate.
“lie will flog me If 1 do, nir.”
“Yes, I'll flog you, sure enough,” yelled the
captain.
“Then I will die before I come down I”
Without another ward, tho captain commenced
taking a deliberate aim, and hall a dozen voices
shouted to tho man whoso life was In this fear-
Ail Jeopardy,—
“Jump overboard, Bill, or you arc a dead man I
Jump for life 1”
In an Instant tho sailor ran along tho footropo,
and clung to tho royal yard-arm to looward. Tho
alternative was Indeed horrible. If ho descend,
od ho would bo flogged—lf ho remained ho would
ho shot—it ho leaped overboard from that dread
ful height ho ran tho risk of being dashed to
pieces If ho fell sideways on tho water, or of be
ing snapped by a shark or drowned, lot him fhll
which way ho would. Tbo captain shifted his
aim and his finger was on tho tj-lgger.
“Jump, Bill, jump!” screamed his messmates,
and his resolution was taken. Ho would leup
for life I
Lowering himself from tho yard-arms with bis
hands, ho pointed feet downward, and clovo tho
alrwith tho velocity of a cannon-ball. A second
or two, and ho bud disappeared in tbo curling
gruon sen.
Tho pont up excitement of tho crow found
vent at this .moment. One party rushed on iho
captain, and disarmed ami bound him, while tho
rest put tho holm down and throw tho sails abnok,
to stop tbo motion of tho ship, and sprang to tho
falls of tho quarter-boat to lower away to pick
up the American, should ho riso to tho surAice.
A breathless pause of very nearly a minute
ensued, and then wo behold tho bond of tho sall
omorgo at tho distance of a hundred yards \ and
being a capital water-dog, ho struck out boldly
for tho shin, and amid a loud hurra was picked
up. Ills ‘leap for Hfo* had boon succossAd.
Tbo other poor fellow who was shot aloft was
lowered on deck In a allng. 110 was moro In
jured by tho fall than by tho ball Jn his leg, and
died tho same night In extreme-agony.
- i .
“OL’B COUNTRY—if AY IT ALWAYS BE BIGHT—-BUT BIGHT OB fITIQNO, OUR COUNTRY.”
The mate now consented to take command of
tho ship, and Captain L> was closely con
fined till we came to port. By that time he was
raving mad, and he died within three days after
being conveyed to the hospital ashore.
An Indian Ceremony
Among tho many curious ceremonies charac
teristic of.the California Indians, one of the
most interesting and imposing, is said to be the
‘‘Feast of Gympsum”—which celebrates the
introduction of boys to manhood. On tho oc
casion of this ceremony, due notice of the feast
having been given, and invitations extended to
neighboring friendly villages, all the youths
who havoattained the requisite ago are confined
within the dwelling of some chief, and obliged
to swallow n-.decoction of gympsum or stram
onium, sufficiently strong to destroy all power
of muscular action and sensibility for an entire
night. The female choir of the village then as
semble around the tent, decorated in their gay
est dresses, and surrounded by a body guard
of old men, one of whom acts as director of the
: proceedings. The younger men and invited
guests enter the ring, divested of the greater
part of their clothing, profusely ornamented
with feathers, and covered with alternate stripes
of black and white paint. Tho director then
makes a short speech and commences dancing.
The entire choir bursts out into a song by no
means unmusical, and‘all the men within the
ring proceed to follow’ the example of their di
rector in a scries of steps which set at defiance
all conventional rules for the poetry of motion.
At the close of the song, the old men puff from
their mouths a volumcof wind towards heaven,
and with a loud howl the dancers retire to re
cover breath.
Three nights are spent in this manner, with
the exception that after the first night the
youths, who have recovered from their stupor,
are allowed to participate in the dancing. On
the first day after their recovery from the effects
of the medicine—which effects are said to re
semble somewhat the delightful sensations pro
duced by the of the Arabs—they are
presented with water and paint, and after hav
ing performed ablutions ami painted themsel
ves, arc led into the field ami taught the myste
ries of planting and harvesting—also how to
construct the various kinds of lodges, and how
to ensnare the different species of game used by
them for food. They are also daily lectured
upon the “arts” of war. theft, and deception.
This instruction continues for three days, dur
ing which time they are inducted into a now
and higher stylo of dance. On the third day
they arc lectured upon religion, the creation of
the earth, and the history of the human race,
and are then dismissed to the liberties of man
hood.—lfojfon Journal.
Ancctlolc of Parson Brownlow.
TTc once heard an anecdote told of the Par
son, which, if true, clearly shows that what he
thinks is right, he will endeavor to maintain.—
It is said that he was once notified by one of the
greatest pugilists and bragadocias in Tennes
see. that if he attempted to preach again at a
certain place, he would bo taken from the pulpit
and publicly whipt in the presence of his con
gregation. The persons present knowing the
,mpn who had thus threatened the Parson to bo
.n-deaporate fellow,.advised him not to preach.
They were requested not to give thcmsclrcfflmy
trouble, as ,Uo.,woabLaVbcmd-to .the.tnjtf.flsr him
self. '• , ‘
Sunday morning came, and so did the Par
son at tile appointed hour, and took his place
in the pulpit. Upon looking around, lie saw
the follow who had threatened him, with a num
ber of his friends occupying . a portion of the
church near the pulpit. the usual
exercises by opening the Bible which lay upon
the desk—ho then removed from his right coat
pocket a revolver, and placed it at the right of
the word of truth—then another to his left; he
then drew from his bosom a largo and heavy
howio knife, and laid it across the leaves, to
prevent the wind from turning (hem. This was
an argument which forboded certain results:
his opponents were so perfectly amazed with
the beginning of the sermon, IhaKtlwy conclud
ed it best not to interfere with him, and it is
said that no set of men ever got such a scorch
ing ns did some of his congregation upon that
occasion.
Cost of thk Mammoth Cavk.— Colonel Cor
gan, to whose family it belongs, was a resident
of Louisville. Ho went to Europe, some twenty
years ago, and, as an American, found himself
frequently questioned of the wonders of the
Mammoth Cave —a place he had never visited,
ami which, at home, though living within nine
ty miles of it, ho had heard very little. He went
Incrc on hia return, and the idea struck him to
purchase and make it a family inheritance.—
In fifteen minutes bargaining he bought it for
slo,ooo—though shortly' after he was oflered
$lOO,OOO for his purchase. In hia will ho tied
it up in such a way, that it must remain in his
family for two generations, thus appending its
celebrity to hia name. There aro 1000 acres in
the estate, —though tho cave probably' run*
under the property of a great number of other
land owners. For fear of those who might dig
down and establish an entrance to the cave on
their own property’, (a man’s farm extending
up to the zenith and down to the nadir,) great
vigilance is exercised to prevent such subterra
nean surveys and mcasuremcnlsas would enable
them to sink a shaft with any certainty. The
cave extends ten or twelve miles in several di
rections, and there is probably many a back
woodman sitting in his hut within ten miles of
the cave quite unconscious that (he most fash
ionable ladies and gentlemen of Europe and
America, are walking without leave under his
corn and potatoes 1
Dignity or Trade.—Wo liko to see a man,
no matter what business ho may bo engaged in,
to have a respect for It. It elevates labor, and
ennobles trade.
Tho other day, In tho neighborhood of tho
Park, wo encountered n tall, dignified looking
man, in a long seedy frock coat, buttoned up' to
tho chin, with a glossy silk hat, presiding at an
npplo stand. Somo how or other his manner,
his “stylo” struck us.
vWhttt Is tho prlco of these apples,’ wo asked,
pointing to a pile of red ones.
•IVo shall have to charge two cents for those,
said ho i ‘they are superior article» but
thoro is an apple,’ ho added, ‘and of a good
quality, that wo put younta cent I’
‘Shade of Commerce!’ Uo couldn’t have
said more nor in a more pretention manner, Ifho

Ono cvo ofbeauty, wtion fho sun
Was on the streamer Guadalquivcr,
The gold converting,'oho by one,
The ripples of tho mighty river 5,
Beside me on tho bank was seated
A Seville girl with aubnrn hair,
And eyes that might }ho .world have cheated,
A wild, bright, wicked, diamond pair!
She stooped and wrbtp’upon the sand,
Just os tho loving sun was going.
"W ith such a soft, -small, shining hand,
I could have sworn *twas silver tinning.
Her words were three,' and not ono more,
What could Diana’s motto be 1
The Syren wrote upon tho shore—
“ Death, not inconstancy.”
And then her two largo languid eyes
So turned on mine) that, devil take me,
I set tho air on fire with sighs,
And was tho fool she choose to make me,
Saint Patrick would have been deceived,
With such an eye and such a hand;
But ono week more, and I believed
As much the woman as tho sand.
THE RECONCILIATION.
A PLEASING SKETCH.
‘Well, I think it is.likely; but don't tease |
me any more. Your','fcrothcr has married a (

This speech was addressed to a lovely girl.;
scarcely eighteen; !>6atltiful ns the lilv that,
hides itself beneath tho.dark waters. She was
parting the silvery lookk on her father's high.;
handsome forehead,' her own was a,
miniature, and pleading the cause of her de- j
linquent brother, who.hfld married in opposition j
to her father’s will, and had consequently been i
disinherited. Mr. Wheatly was a neb old gen-
resident of Boston. He was a fall
good-natured old fellow, somewhat given I o mi n 1 1 1
and wine, and satin lus arm chair, from morn
ing till night, smoking his pipe, ami reading
the newspapers. Sometimes a story of his own
exploits in our revolutionary’ battles, filled up
a passing hour. 110 hr.d two children, .the dis
obedient son, and tljfl beautiful girl spoken of.
The foud girl wcn^.'ph‘pleading:
•Dear father do forgive him : you don’t know
what a beautiful girl no has married, and— 1
‘I think it’s likely;'said the old man: ‘hut

never knew that before’! but I think it’shkely.
Well, now, give mo tby chocolate, and then go

Kllen left.him.. Ttioold man's heart began
to relent. i
‘Well,’ he went was always a

never enquired her name. I’ll find out ami—
'l think its likely.' Saul the old man.
Ellen led into the room n beautiful hoy. about
two years old. His curly hair and rosy cheeks
could uot but make one love him.
‘Who is that ?’ said the old man, wiping his
eyes.
‘That—that is Charles’ boy,’ said Ellen,
throwing one of her arms around her father's
neck, while with the other she placed the child
on his knee. The child looked tenderly up into
his face, and lisped out,
•Graml-pa, what makes you cry so ?’
The old man clasped the child to Ins bosom,
kissed him again and again. After his emotion
had a little subsided, ho bade the child tell Ids
name.
‘Thomas TThoncr rally,’ said the boy, T am
named after graml-na.’
‘What do I hear ?' said the old man ; ‘Thom
as Homier your grandfather?*
•Yes,’ lisped the boy, ‘and he lives with mo
at ’
‘Get mo nvy cane.'said the old man, ‘and
come; be quick, child.’
Tiny started offal a quick pace, which soon
brought them to the poor, though neat lodgings
of his:fion. There ho beheld his old friend,
Thomas Bonner, seated in one corner, weav
ing baskets, while his swathed limbs showed
how unable ho was to perform the necessary
task. Uis lovely daughter, the wife of Charles,
was preparing their frugal meal, and Charles
was out seeking employment to support his
needy family.
‘lt’s all my fault,’ sobbed the old man, as he
embraced his friend, who was petrified with
amazement.
‘Conic,’ said Mr. Wheatly, ‘come all of yftn
home with me, we will all live together, there is
plenty of room in my house for ns all.’
By this time Chorles hod come. lie asked
his father’s forgiveness, which was freely given,
ami Ellen was almost mad with joy.
‘Oh, how happy we shall be ! she exclaimed :
‘and father will love our little Thomas so, and
he’ll bo your pct, won*t ho, father ?’
‘Ay,’said the old roan,‘l think it’s very
likely.*
•Fashionable Folly.—Wo observe that tho
New York flishlonablos are endeavoring iq out

i Story of Circumstantial Evidence.
Some years ago, I went especially to Clotp
woll assizes and accidentally witnessed a trial
which I never shall forget. A wretched man,
a native of that county, was charged with the
murder of his neighbor. It seemed that an
ancient fued existed between them. They had
met at a fair, exchanged blows ; again that eve
ning they met at a low pothouse and the bodily
interference of friends alone prevented a fight
between > them. Tim prisoner was heard to
vow vengeance against his rival. The wretch
ed victim left the house, iollowed by the prison
er, and was found next day on tho road side,
murdered and his face barbarously beaten in
by a stone so that ho could only be identified
by his dress. The facts were strong against i
the prisoner ; in fact it was the strongest ease |
of circumstantial evidence I ever met with.—
As a form—of his guilt there was no doubt—
the prisoner was called for his defence. He call
ed, to tho surprise of every one, tho murdered
man. And the murdered man came forward. —
It seemed that another man had been murdered
—the identification by dress was vague, for all
the peasantry of Tipperary wear the - same de
scription of clothes—that the presumed victim
had got a hint that he would Le arrested under
the White Boy Act—had fled, and only return
ed with a noble Irish-•filling of Justice, when
he found that his ancient foe was in jeopardy on
I Ins account. The case was clear; the prisoner
was innocent. The judge told the jury it was
I unnecessary to charge them. They requested
I permission to retire: they returned in about
I two hours, when the foreman with a long face
handed him the verdict of ‘guilty.’ Everyone
was astonished. ‘Good God !’ said the Judge,
‘of what is he guilty ? Not of murder, surely V
•No mv lord,’ said the foreman, 'but if he did
not murder that man, he stole my mure three
years ago.’—Dome/ O'ConnrU.
rn.riT Zkat.. —Xo man was ever scolded mil
ot his sins. Th£ heart, corrupt as it is, »ml he. '

scolds back again.', A surly mastiff will bear per-:
haps to be stroked, though ho will growl even j

a religions zeal. A man thinks ho Is lighting;
for Christ, and lie is fighting for his own notions.
He thinks ho is skillfully searching (ho hearts
of others, when he is only gnmfying the malig
nity of his own; and charitably supposes his
hearers destitute of all grace that he may shine
the more in his own eyes by comparison.

would not use for any money. U was one you
leared when quite young. By being careful,
you will save yourself a great deal of trouble,
mortification and sorrow. Good men have been
token sick and become delirious. In these mo
