Willie sprang, to his feet, and gazing out into the offing, his bright eyes lit up with enthusiasm caught froth his sister's words, and he instantly replied : "We'll go out there, and have a glorious , sail— just like the great ships and steamboats that we see go by." " 0, don't go out there, brother !" interposed Hi de Jenny, her cheeks growing pale as the delicate " Don't go Willie! Mother will be angry with us." Mother will do no such thing, Jenny. She wilt be proud of us, to think we have been out on The kig ocean all alone. I can ,very easili'Come bat ( k with the flood tide that'll soon be setting in." And without further argument, the reckless tiny put his helm up, eased off the sheet, and away out thro' the Inlet towards the line of blue water outsiae, went the launch hurried along before the strong breeze, which added to the strength of the last quarter ebb, bore her away at a speed that soon sunk the yellow sand ridge to a mere line along the margin of the wide ocean, and the white cot. tages with the Venetian blinds into toy shops dot ted with bright green specta. The colored water which appealed from the cove only like a narrow strip dividing the white surf from the deep azure of the ocean beyond—expanded into a broad belt of several miles in width. But with the fine breeze and strong outset of the tide the boat sped on ; while the novelty of their position, and the natural excite. ment induced by iecause.l the time and space to fly past unheeded by the young voyagers, and a sudden dread came upon them as, hosing 'gained the blue water, they looked back towards the shore and saw hills, fields, houses and orchards all blen ding, growing indistinct. and folding away in the dim distance. There was a sense of lonely, utter helplessness suddenly i.hadowing their bright vis ions ; and there was a world-of pathos in little Jen ny's sweet low voice, as she laid her hands gently, on,her brother's arm, and looking up in his eyes,. whi-pored : 0. Willte, let us go home. Mother would feel very, bad if she new we had come away out here.' %Villie bent down his head and kissed his sister's fair, pale cheek, as he replied : "We will go back Nome, Jenny I was naugh ty to come oil so far from the land. But don't cry sister I am very sorry. Don't blame me—l couldn't help it ; I do love the sea so much." " No we won't blame you, Willie only let us hurry back ; for see, yonder is a terrible black cloud coming up in the west, and I'm afraid if we " The clititr4 speech wait interrupted by a groan of , Ii1:4111.t1 from her brother, whose eye. fur the first tune. had been directed towards a, bank of dark, muck) clouds heaving up in the vrestern board, by his sister's remark ; and at the very instaa that his vlstou fist rested upon the black pall, a chain of brilliant. zigzag lightning rose quivering along its s upper edge, and a few moments later there came to their ears the low muttered roar of 'far off thun der. The young captain had hauled his little vessel by the wind, bin the clumsy thing lay broad off under het ill-fitted sail. Besides the wind, which she had scarcely felt while running off before it, had now increased soMuch that she bad keeled over till there was great danger of .capsizing, to prevent wlich Willie, assisted by his ; two sisters, set about reefing the sail. This was soon accomplished, and again the boat was steered as close as she would go. which at best was title better than eight points, Willie soon found in spite of his utmost skill, his crap was drifting rap idly out to sea. Nearer and nearer rolled on the embattled le gions of black storm clouds ; louder cane the fear ful thunder crashes ; more vivid glearritd the red lightning's flash; wider the shrieking gale swept by, howling and screaming dread notes of terror to the young voyagers. The water—which in with the land was quite smooth—began to heave up in huge, foam-crested waves, here and there all around them curling over and breaking all feather-white in long lines of snowy, hissing spray Great round drops of rain came pattering down in the water, and pel— ing, on the thwarts and pinwales of the boat with a sharp clicking none that smote startlingly dismal on the ears of the three little ocean wanderers. Young as he was, Willie retained in his mind much of what he had heard his father relate at va rious times in regard to the management of a ship in a gale ; and the knowledge which he had thus gained in theory; now stood him in good stead.— He had heard o I keeping a ship before it in a squall, and of scudding in a gale ; - and the dull sailing clum sy boat was Lis ship. The theory which he had learned, he proceeded to pal into practice; and when the first mad gem of the yelling tornado fell upon the launch, she was going off dead before the wind—otherwise her sail would have been blown away, or she would have been swamped in an in slant. As it was she was flashing on through the wild storm and screaming surges, scudding away, right out into the mighty wilderness of waters. Ten, fifeen minutes went oy, and still the war of elements went on hi •afl its terrible fury; and mill the brave little fellow stood there at the helm, bare headed, his cap blown away, his clothes drip ping with water, and'sleady to his purpose, steered his tiny balk 'on and-away before the fiemehowl ing blast. Once only he tattered, and that was when the launch quivered for a moment on the crest of the might surge, and then went reeling and ,plunging; standing almost oa end, down into the hissing rot *ex of the liquid ravine. Then a single quick ery of horror elle** the boy's lips; bet the next mo ment, Jenny crept op to his side, laid her ban I up on his shoulder, and spoke in a low soothing tone, that almom instantly called back his confidence, and elicited from his lips it cry of admiration for his sister's heroism..

We %vill'ittid them adieu, and glance Iback to their home—to their fond mother, rendered dean. late in heart by the dread calamity that has fallen upon her in the toss of her children. Isl et At the moment whe he children first embark ed, Mrs. Walton need out towards the cove,and for a few miuutei she watched them with, all a mother's tend with, as she saw them sailing to and fro on the quiet waters of the bay; and then some visitors called and she forgot her children till just as the storm came down, when a neighbor came rush ing, iii, with the heart; rendring intelligence that die launch had been seen only a few minutes previous ly, several miles out to sea. The first terrible shock almost killed her; but soon rallying all her woman's ,energy and moth. er's love, she rushed forth from her home, and re gardless of the furious storm aroused her neighbors, and besought themwith all the eloquence called up by the deep anguish of her riven heart, to lend their aid in the recovery of her lost darlings. There was no vessel at Rockaway or-Faulkner's Island, and to venture out at sea in such a storm with such small crafts as were kept along the shore, were worse than:madness ; and so immediate des patches were sent to New Yolk, not to the owners of the ship commanded by Captain Walton, but to the pilots, and within an hour after the news reach ed the city, t wo of the staunchest piloi.boats manned by extra picked crews of gallant souls, were under. way and speeding on their swill-winged course in search of the ocean lost children. Mrs. Walton herself hastened to the city, to urge with her presence and infiaence, more prompt an lion ; but the two vessels had been gone an hour when she arrived, and so she repaired to the:house of Mr. Alma' the owner 01 the ship her husband commanded, to await the return of those who had so nobly gone forth in search of het three lost dar lings. - Leaving her there in a stale of levered anxiety, hoping in the very teeth of despair, we too will go froth into the wild, yelling gale, to look upon a most sublime ocean picture. It was an hour past midnight—dark as the deep est, gloomiest cells of an inquisitional dungeon, save when the vivid lightning's flash lit up the Cimmerian blackness with a glare rivalling that of the brightest nocnday sun. Some ninety miles to the eastward of Sandy Hook lay hove to a noble ship, inward bound, in one of the most terrific gales that ever swept along the northern cost of America. The gale had set in an hour before sunset, and ever since dark the ship had been hove to under the shortest possible can vass, heading up west southwest with die gale com ing in violent squalls out at due northwest. " Do you think there is any danger to us 01 the skip, captain r inquired one of the three passen gers partly sheltered from the storm by the projec ting roof of the round house. " Not the least, Mr. Kinaley. You are as safe here as you would be to your own house in New York. She is a new Ship, and I have had no op portunity of trying her hove to before; tut I am pertectly* satisfied with her behavior. Indeed I never saw any craft conduct herself quite so well in a durricane like this. 'Tis a terrible night, how ever, and God help those Who may chance to be out in a less able craft than ours !

But we must—my God, what is,that !-1 A continuous flash of lightning lit,up the sorroun dir.g space, and as the darkness shut in again, a taint but clear and distinct—•' Ship A-boy !' uttered either by a female or a nhild, same down on the blast' from directly to windward. A moment alter the nail was repeated, and an other flash of lightning revealed a boat dry/ mg square down before the gale, and almost under the ship's quaner. Ere one could count five, the shrill quivering cry came op from the boat as it shot past the ship not three fathoms clear of her rudder. " Merciful Heaven ! There ete three children in that boat!' yelled Mr. Kinsley, who, with the captain, was peering down over thitaffrail as the boat flew put. " Pot your helm hard up, my man," said the captain, in a voice as calm as man's voice could be; and then calling the chief and third mates p eto ' were both on deck, he informed them of: the tact that a small open boat, with three children in it, had just gone past, and then gate his orders : " Mr. Casey, please go out on the flying jib boom end and keep a lookout for the boat; and mind, Mr. Casey if we come up with it, you can lay the shiVso as to bring the boat close aboard on the larboard side—to:lolrd, remember, Mr. Casey - 4 Don't for your life make a Mistake.

" All ready, the whips, sir !"',eametorri the nratn, and the neat moment the yonnt third mate's voice rang out horn the jib-Worn end: 't Beat right ahead ! Steady as you go !', " Now then my lads, who'll into these running bowlines with me and stand by to pick up the chit dren !" anxiously inquired the captain. " I, air," and " I," " I," eame from a duzen rea dy sailors in a mornent. - "Thank you. my lad ' s; but I only want ftve. l I go in one of the bowlines, myself." The selections were soon made, and there they stood in the fore, main and mizzen chains—the commander and five noble fellows—with the bow• lines under their arms ready to risk their lives to save the three children. "Steady! Stand by, now! Here they come ! Look out !" screamed the officer from the jib-boom, and a moment later, the dim outlines of a boat loomed up by the lee cat-head. Another moment of breathless suspense, and the boat was abreast 01 the fore•chains. " Stand by the for'ard whips ! Look out there in main chains! Veer away men ! Now, Harry, now !" and down went the captain and his com panion into the boat. A breath later and the shout came ringing up, " Look out main and mizzen chains ! Sway away on deck !" and up by the ran came the two men each grasping a child in his arms. " Main chains, there ! In God's name have you got her!" screamed the captain, rushing tibial% the boy he had saved still in his awns. " Ay, ay, sir! All right !" answered a brave fel low clambering in on deck, with little Jenny grasp ed tight by her clothes. " Father !" ezclaimed the little girl, clasping the captain about the neck. " Father!" echoed back two treble voices. " Almighty God, I thank dies ! Saved—saved— saved !" and Capt. Lester Walton sunk fainting to the deck. He knew the children were his own from the moment they passed the ship's stern, and his indomitable sell•control had borne bim up till they were rescued; when the reaction came, and he sunk down insensible. At an hour before sunset on the following day, the ship was at her berth in New York, and the meeting bewteen the mother and her loved children. there in the cabin of her husband's ship, is too sacred a picture to be profaned by a mere pen and ink copy.
