The "Makewake's" Dog Loftus his name was—Lofty we mostly called him for short; but with strangers he answered to "Mister Loftus," nothing loss than that. Passengers and visitors in the ship used to try and make friends with him in the usual coaxing way, but he never took the least notice of them. If they had any thing to say, they must call him by his proper title—talk straight out, with no non sense about "good fellow, "or "fine old dog," or any such phrases; then he would listen respectfully, and understand what was said, too. I sailed in the Makewake with hint going on eight years, and will say I never had a better ship-mate. Orderly and good-natured. ho never made the least trouble, and wouldn't allow anybody else to either, if he could' help it. I don't think ho would in terfere between the officers and the crew, but when we were bringing emigrants Loftus would always put a stop to distnrbances among them.. He would single out the loader in the fight, throw hint, and hold him down until the others came to the rescue. Some times he had to throw two or three, but the steerage soon learned to stow shilalahs whenever Mr. Loftus appeared. I remem ber ono time, we wore lying in the Welling ton Deck at Liverpool, taking on a lot of Fardowners—and the Steward had some dif ficulty with one. His only argument was n rope's end, and when Lofty thought the poor Greek had enough he intimated as much quite plainly. But by some means the Steward contrived to get a line in his collar and to make it fast in the main rig gin; then the Fardowner had to suffer. Pret ty soon the dog parted the line with his teeth, quietly went ashore, and rolled him self over and over in the thick, black tide mud—stole on board again and crawled, whole length, into Mr. Steward's berth.— After that be wouldn't go to market for it long time, and on the whole, I think the Steward g t rather the worst of it. Ile did rill our marketing--Loftus did, and never once made a mistake to my knowl edge. They would try tricks with him sometimes, but were very likely to pay for it by loss of his custom. Ho was acquain ted with most of the market-men, and if one did not treat him well he would go to anoth er. I Sailerlin Stirling and Field's Lino five years before I got to be first mate, and then the very next voyage I came near losing the number of my mess.

Meant-me we lost poor Captain. Ileputorth—the.hest officer in the line—and I came pretty nigh going too. Lams watched me and tended me like a true friend, and I do believe if it hadn't been for him I -never could have pulled through, for there was hardly any one to even pass a cup of water. When the new Captain came down from London - he called on me, 'and I didntt like his looks at all. He was smooth spoken enough, too, but his eyes wore vicious, and I felt- sure we should have trouble. He said the ship was quite ready for sea, and as soon as I was able we would sail. Not to make farther detention, I was carried on board in a cot. and we hauled out of dock on the next tide. In the cabin I found another cot, beside which a young lady was sitting with a fan, while Captain Darcy was busy- preparing the state-rooms. I then learned that our cabin passengers were an old man named Archer and hie grand daughter Jennie. Ptsor old Mr. Archer! He was far too ill to undertake such a _voyage, but ho insisted on going with the hip, feeling sure he should recover when the cool Atlantic breeze began to blow.

When I first began to crawl out in the cabin L noticed Captain Darcey's cril eye often wandering towards her with a peculiar expression that alarmed me. I was troubled and didn't know what to dn. I could not say anything to Jennie, and, unable to stand alone, I could not in any way protect her. In this difficulty Loftus came to my :dd. Ile would guard the lone girl fir better than I, and his dislike to Captain Darcy was stronger even than wino. And so I contrived that Jennie and L .fits should become great friends. -S:10 WU+ the kindest and gentlest little soul that ever lived, and the dog learned to love her ti re than he eter did another human being.— Lofty never had a mistress, the Makewake V 741.9 his mistress, and ho clung to the ship through all her ch trip:es of crew, officers, and owners. But to Jennie he seemed to attach himself as dogs usually do to their owners, or even inure closely. •Ifter fairly under standing that she must be watched and pro teased, he hardly left her an hour in the day,. and slept before her door at night. By the tim, I was able to ga about a lit tle—and out on deck when the sun was nut too warm—Jennie Archer had quite won my heart and I W 43 much hurt to find that she grew more reserved as health reiumed to me; the little womanly ministrations, which had been so grateful, were gradually dis continued. Yet we were very friendly, and being the only idlers in the after part of the ship, we were with each other a great deal Our long pleasant evenings on deck and morning readings in the cabin were the hap piest hours I had ever known. I3tat I did nut believe that I was making any progress in her affections—that is, I did not think that she would ever care for me as I did for her. I was pleased to see, however, that the Captain's attempts to be agreeable were, quietly but decidedly repulsed. lie saw it, too, after a while, and his Irateful disposition thereafter began to show itself. lie perse cuted poor Jennie without mercy whenever he could find an opportunity, and though Loftus and I were seldom of duty, he yet contrived to make her suffer from his spite in a thousand ways. her simple dignity and unswerving faith in herself during these trials made me love her very dearly. She never complained to the at all, not even when I found her, one time, weeping, heart broken, and fr.ghtened, with litt'e bits of a note from him scattered over the floor. Captain D.trcy made no secret of his rage and vengeful temper; he seemed to consider that ho owed defeat to me, and hated me ac cordingly. "You think yourself d—d smart," he would say; "but I'll :Mow yon I'm not the man to he ',milked by any such whelps as you and that dog. You may do your d—ost, but I'll 'nester her yet, and then I will settle with yon, yonng man." I didn't aniaid his threats much, knowing him to he cowardly, like other mean souls: lint I kept closer watch than ever over Jen nie, and fed Loftus widt my own hand. ti which care I think he owes his life On the thirty-fifth day out we were off the Bank., and about noon I went up with Cap tain Darcy to take the sun. Lofty assisted in the observation, as he always did with the utmuet gravity, and Miss Anther added her smile to the brightness of the hour, happy —thought I—to know our voyage wasso near ly (low?. While working up my calculations I noticed the Captain hastily deseending the cabin gangway. I thought it odd he did not wait fur the result), and directly I was furth er enprised to find that Loftus had also dis appeared. I didn't think mach ,tbout it all. though. I wits alone with her far, perhap4, the last time, and Lingered a good while be low to make my entry in the log. It seem• ed to me that she hail never looked so kind ly upon me as then, and I 'e tine very near telling her how dearly I had learned to prize her favor, and asking that it might be mine forever. But I felt as though that would be taking a certain advantage of her needing a protector, and, in some sorepresuming upon the claim I might be supposed to have--r the words which trembled on my tongue were not spoken. I afterwards wished they had been. Entering the cabin nt last, we were start led by sounds of strife, evident strugglim.% force growls, and a storm of curse.. Fer the first time Jennie's courage gave way: yet, even then, she seemed more hart than afraid as she leaned against me. sobbing.— "Oh, (leaven! he's in my room!" And so indeed it wag. Crouche I d we in one carncr—a pitiable sight indee Captain Darcy with L,ftu•r' teeth in Mg throat. He still clutche I the leatlier belt which contained Jennie's little f.,rtune, and in a sailor's bag at his feet I foand ery thing else of the least value which ghe pas• sewed in the world —even the letters to her friends. Llftus must have seen indignation and horror in my face, f,r he Mune liately re-: newed his attack with the utmost ferocity,' and it was only by Jennie's best efforts ho was prevented from killing the wretch on the instant—ho wouldn't listeti to me at all. As it was, Captain Darcy had to be car ried; ashore when we arrived. and I rettlem-1 ber they used the very seine cot that I was brought aboard in. During the fever which followed he was delirious Tart of the time, and I had gathered from his wild talk that he hail hoped. by reducing Jeanie to utter poverty, he emit,' make her dependent upon him and ,submissive to his will. Thanks to Li ftus the robber was caught in the act, and I half envied the dog his re- i ward of fond gratitude. He accompanied her to Brooklyn when her friends came for her, and after that he used to run over there! every day or two. As the Captain's duties I fell to my hands I was unable to leave the ship for more than a week, but sooa as I could get off, I made a visit to Jennie in her new home. A very nice place it was, away out on Clinton Avenue, and I found her delighted with it, as well she might be- Her friends, ton, were just the pleasantest sort of people, received me very But somehow I felt disappointed and un comfortable, though I couldn't tell why for the life of me. Jennie's manner to me was 'the same as it always had been, except a little embarrassment at first; she was very friendly and confiding as ever, bat yet I felt that in Clinton Avenue she was very far away from me and from the life we had lived together. Then there was a good look ' ing young chap at the house who played on the piano and sang with Jennie, and who had all-those pleasant little aecn.nplishments which show cultivation and good-breeding. Well, I liked him—l hadn't any spite at all —hot couldn't help thinking that 'longsids Ihis fine gentleman's graces, my plain sail. or ways appeared to small- advantage. SO r did not enjoy my visit as I had anticipated bat welt away as early as possibls,:yezed and dissatisfied with myself and everybody el4e. C.tptitin Darey got an ides into his on settlel mind that Jennie and I were going to proceed against him for piracy on the high seas, and th ugh I assured him that neither of us had a. y such intention, he became frightened, and suddenly disap peared from his hotel before I believed him able to go about. I halo never seen hint or heard of him from that day to this. When I reported tin flight to Stirling 3 Field, our ownerc, they seemed rather glad than other wise, ai.d much to my surprise immediately -itTered the eiimmand of the Makewalie to Dan the long days of eonvaleseenee. wilco 1 cal t der tint little else. I had dreamed again nod again of the limo when I should he Captain of the Makewake, and lie in po skima tii offer Jennie Archer a home as well as a heart. These had been visions of hap. piness to me; but new, when they might be realized, their brightness failed fast—it seemed highly iinprobable that I should ev er make Jennie an offer of anything at all, and being Captain of a Liner didn't amount to nineh any way. However, I accepted the proposition gladly enough, and thereafter staid by the ship more closely than ever. Loftus :tilt continued his visits to Clinton Avenue. being over there, indeed, at least half the time. though he always came home at night. My first experience there had not been of a sort to encourage my going again—so, when the Mikewake way neorly ready for sea, I sent by Loftus a note to Jen nie, apologizing for not calling, and saying good-bye. Of course I half hoped he would bring some little reply from her—and so he did. She wished particularly to see me, and begged I would come to her before I sailed. %Veil, I was delighted! I spread all the light canvas I could carry, and bowled over there —gay as a lark. The very first thing I saw way Jennie walking around the grounds with that good looking young follow—talking so earnestly and gazing up to his face in such 'e charming way—it just took me flat aback; I wished myself aboard ship again and out side the Hook. I don't know but I might have run away, only Loftus attracted the children's attention, and then 'twas too late. I had not been in the house ten minutes when I noticed an understanding of some sort between Jennie and the handsomeyoung gentleman. They had consultations and side glances, and looks toward me—as I thought—and, finally, it ended in his pre senting to me, in behalf of Miss Jennie Archer, a very fine gold chronometer and chain.—lfe delivered it with a little speech of which I hardly heard a word—l was so confused. Passengers aboard ship often 'neat in the cabin on coming into port and give the officers something or other to re, me ober the voyage by, and I had certain phrases which were always used on such occasions. I got thorn off os well as Ie i and sat dowli in a corner to think the mut ter over. I don't like people who are over sensitive, emdly grieved, and perpetually feeling hurl.

A t • I could keep up the arpoaranee of' cheerfulness no longer, and determined to steal sway—never to return.

Confessions of a Green Tea Drinker I= I em a nervous woman, and I used to drink green tea. These two circumstances have given me some opportunities of study- ing the mysteries of that border region which lies between the spirit world and the mutual. Nut that Ih. cc tried to pry into them; but they have t vied into me most se verely and. painfully. Nerve+ and green tea have both of them a wonderful tendency to elevate the faculties n 1 sensation, and lay us open to all the wandering influences that come to us. I have heard inure "voices of the night," I think, than Mr. Longfellow I ever did, and I have tried to study and ells sify them. There are three kinds of voices, end three kinds of apparitions. First, those front the outer world, produced by veritable impressions on the organs of sense. Secondly, those which are purely spiritual, and which only come to the inward ear or eye. Thirdly, thu-a which are partly both, and belong to that mastic border-land I spoke of, which separates the ;calm of pure spirit, from the realin of pure sen-ation.— My experience has been principally in the latter, though I confess that the boundary lines of this middle region are some:inies very dim and wavy. Swedeuborgians believe that all ohjects, animate and inanimate, have their own sphere of magnetic in:lot:nee, very subtile and pervadieg, and I believe this is philo sopltieally true. But in dna day time this universal influx is not gsl perceptible. and think too, it is less active and operative.

Sere enough, tables tipped, responses came. mid my great-grandmother, who d ed thirty years ago, lettered near, and with the ntphabet spelled out my secret history. My husband ponhed at the whole thing, though neither of us could explain it. My great-grandmother bade ma good night, saying. .'to prove to you that i•pirits do communicate, I'll wake you tonight na 12 o'clock." I slept that night two hours, but awoke exactly at tuidlidgmt, and heard every stroke of the town chick its the twelve vibrations rolled off into the b iundless night; and then the burdening undertone of nature teas all that could be heard for five minutes. Then a sound came which I had never beard be fore. Knock, knock—kunck;—throo at time, strokes as distinct as anything I ever heard in my life. They came uniformly three at n time, and about once a minute. I traced the sound in all directions, but it seemed to come from nowhere in particular. Then suddenly a burst of music tilled the room. It sounded like a llighland bagpipe. only thought it more Sweet and melodious. It would rise clear and full, and melt away again in mournful softness, sometimes seem ing close at hand, and anon away off through woods and over the hills. It'suggested im mediately long files marching and counter marching through devious and winding ways. .111 my senses were sharpened. I looked intently, expecting to see squadrons and cavalcades burst into sights but they vanished sway ngttin, ns if playing the Dead March of Saul in sheltered" glades or over the graves of heroes slain. I tried to wake my husbanC. I have ni theory about the equality of sexes.: but I must say that I think these men without any nerves are provokingly stupid. Mr. Smith is one of the best husbands; but he was dreaming of his lay and potato crop, and it was u great while before I could open his tenses to these bagpipes of the spheres. '• Wake up, Mr. Smith, my great grand mother has come with a band IlEmusia." "A fig for your great-granlaother. D 3 let her eler.m and me too."

Perhaps two months had passed, during which I never woke up my husband either to hear ghosts or drive away thietes from the premises. But one night„ long to be le membered, I woke up again jest at twelve, and found all my senses shall eoed into a marvelous green-ten vividness. I was 66N veyant and clairamlant. I ceuld hear the children breathe in the thild lft, oho of them with a deeidelly crom.y int:lathy).— The moon was riding in middienvet,s, c ver ing all the fields with a nil ter glare. The plum tree standing by the window projected its shadows between the half drawn curtain making figures on the carpet that stirred like living things. All the dead watches in the room were going tick. tick, and I cold hear something that sounded exactly Hite w a ter dropping upon the Stir. This an old spin•ter sister of my grandmether has told me was a sere sign of death. I lay a wh..le hour and listened to it—drop, drop, drop. I tlionAht it was probably a forerun ' tier of Charley's demise, who very likely would lie dead with croup before morning. I was about waking Mr. Smith to go and see to the child. There Mr. Smith lay—his emintenane placid as peace itself. his mind locked in where no earthly trouble could find entrance. But I will wait a little, thought I—pity it is to disturb such profound and refreshing slumber. So I lay down again. But plainer than over, drop, drop went the water. and tic's, tick, went the death watches. I put the pillow over toy ears. Then I cull hear nature playing on her minor key. Liz— z—z—z-- Caine as the blending sphere wave of sadness from "all objects it thought" in the visible and invisible universe. I shut my eyes with all my might mid tried to sleep. i could see all kinds and shapes of dark. Indeed I never knew what people mean who talk of total darkness. I never saw any such. I could see great balls of dark and little balls, points or dark no big ger than a pin's head or a needle's eye.— Then the points would grow big and turn into great balls, and the great balls would grow little till they vanished into nothing.-- Theti there was deep ilark, and gray dark. I and darlc of copper color, and their color was ' , hanging Imo for the other without cc:1841;4. Sometimes little dots ordark would begin in the distance, and tarn to,big ones; and Cialla up with a rush, and break in mecel. Sometimes they would cross, mix p, and make evolutions, us if dancing an eight-real. But, (lark: there are wheels in the distance, and a wagon is corning up the roa I.

If there is n big there is a ,) dy, there is a head. And if there is a heed of course it is a burg lar. I could not -ee the least flaw in this reasoning. I lay down and thought it nll over. The logic icenteal complete in every from the foot to the burglar. I I.+y in a sweat of ag o,v :tad I cold hear a slight rustling, and 'Semi plainly I cull hear somebody, somebody breathing under the bee.. The whole plot flashed upon me at once. This fellow had concealed himself there, waiting, for Isis ace nu:di-ie.; who came up in the wagon, and I hail been waked up just in the nick of time, probably by my gt eat-grandmother, in order to save our lis es. But how to wake up Mr Smith. and a a bring the villain upon us! I 11110Cee , IP 1. however. awl spoke as low as possible: "Mr, Smith, there is a burgh.tr under the bed:— Wake up!" "Burglar— timpb—nonsense!" "Hush!—hush'.—looa for your..eli"." Sara enough, Mr. Smith started up when he saw the projecting member, and his im pulse, I presume, was to seize the robber and .drag him out with his head bumping again.d the deer stone. At any rate he started up. made a plunge and a grab, and brought up one of his own congress boots in his hand. It was now dray-break. and thieves and spectres arc said to flee alike at cock crowing. The mysterious sounds diet away. No sounds of wheels were heard going out of the yard; and how that wagon could rumble up to our kitchen door and then van ish like a spectre, must remain a secret till the day when all secrets are discloaed. I learned to distrust the ear somewhat, as it was impossible at all times to distinguish the noises which are materialistic from the vibrations that come from the middle sphere into the natural. Sometimes I think there is n confused Wending of the two. I heard Mr. Smith give orders with a droll face on Friday to wedge the sashes of our bed -romp window, and fasten some pieces of the blind that were playing in the north wind. Sitfce then I have never board the knockings and the -bagpipe..
