colony'of V ietoria upon, at all events - ,
one very'deeided improvement upon , '
the somewhatccentric arrangements
adopted. by the juvenile colony .of
Port Philip sometime ago. When I
arrived there in theyear 1851, in the.

escape from laying your bones upon
it. In ease there may be any among
my readers who_ may not yet have
made a "personal conducted" to
Australia, and may thus miss the
cream of this exquisite pi actical jest,
I may mention that the harbor of
Victoria is a little island of I forget
=how many square' miles in extent,
with just one exceedingly narrow en
trance. It is, in fact, something like
a huge bottle: with a very tiny neck;
or, to be more dignillei4 like a minia
ture Mediterranean, with a .pro-por
tionate gut of Gibraltar.
. Now, thiS is all very well with the
.Mediterranean,which is an easy-going,
cl3t3 e scal old sea, ready enough to
ra o upon adequate occasions, but
far t 3 3 blase fur the unexciting:exer
tion of ; daily tide. But Port Philip
is in its 'tivenile stage—that stage
when it is a, • hysical necessity to be
"doing sometiing," if it be only the
truly diabolical bccupation of going
to and fro, had of\walk-ing up and
down. So PorL Philip of _course in=
dulges in - a tide ; and his tide has
no other means of getting • and out
of the big bottle except th ngh the
little heck, you may readily bktarn,
by the simple means of filling a \bop
tic w;th water and. turning it topSY
turvy, a fairly-supestive.idea of the
way, in which it conducts itself on the
passage.
I will do the third mate of the
Anonymous - the justice to believe
that he was not aware of the ingenious
regulation above referred to, -by
Which it was ordained that a vessel
should in all cases run the gauntlet
of this pleasant passage before pre
suming to demand the services of a
pilot. Indeed, there was no partieu-,
lar reason why the third mate should
have known anything about it.: It
was only his second voyage at sea,
and the .first had been to Callao and
back. You will say, perhaps, that
under those circumstances there eras
no, particular reason why the chaNe.
of the good ship Anonymous should
have been left to the third mate.
And perhaps there was not. Only",
with the second mate deserted in Port
Harbor, the first mate with his skull
split fairly open twelve hours ago by
the fall of. a heavy block, and the
skipper what a figuratively-disposed
Yankee on board called sopping
drunk - "- in his cabin, it was not "ao
Cray to say on whom that duty should
devolve. And on the whole, perhaps,
as a\practical seaman without the
slightest knowledge of his where

" What the.--," began our irate
young actinteommander, more sav
age at'the delay than grateful for the
help that had come at last. But the
man cut him short. '
".Is she quick in stays?" he asked;
briskly and imperatively—altogether
disregarding not only the mate's an l
gry greeting, but the elibrus of ;ob
jurgation from the forty or fifty pas
gengers around.
•' No 1". he replied, sullenly; "d—d
The' man struck his band impa

came intohis face - before which' the
chorus of objurgation somehow died
sudtbinly into 'silence. The stranger
gave one quick glance aloft, another
to leeward, where the , boiling surge
seemed to thunder over the roof al-
most close under our beam, then
spoke again briskly and imperatively,
as before:
" Then fill and wear around," be
said. " There's no help for it. And
bear a hatid, every soul of you, for
it's touch-and-go. "
_ And "touch-and-go it was.. The

the , danger was passeil.; \ ` and with a
ringing . cheer we dashed gayly into
the smooth water of the inrT . r,bay.
The breeze 'still held, and tn kvery'
few more hours we were %Art `the
anchorage. Half-an-hour more \arid
'the anchor was down ; the saila\--, \
what were left of them—had been`
furled and stowed sbmehow ; and the
ship's boats were hoisted out without
much need of, or regard for, the or
ders of the unlucky young third mate,
who, it must be confessed, took very
good-humoredly the plentiful chaff
which rewarded his well-meant but
perfectly futile attempts at enforcing
something like discipline. Equally
futile were the remonstrances of the
passengers,who soon discovered that
the ship's boats would only accom
modate the ship's crew, and that on
this occasion,at all events, they were
not by any means intended to accom-
modate any one else • and, as the
passengers were a little more numer
ous than the mate, it seeined at• first
as though there was likely to be "a
row."
Our, friendly pilot, however—he
was not a pilot, at all, by the way,
but the master of a small coasting
schooner, doing a fine trade in those
golden days between Melbourne and
Twofold Bay -- pointed out to us
that, even if we conquered our point;
only one batch of us could be landed
in the boats, and that only on Liar
det's Beach; while if we waited qui
etly for the steamer which was sure
to be alongside soon, a sovereign or
1
so apiece would tae us all right up
to the towp,, Sow gave the crew a
parting benediction, received an
equally hearty comPlinient in return,
and awaited the "'steamer with what
philosophy we might. In another
hour she WAS alongside, and we too
departed, leaving ' the captain in
peaceful possession of his ship, thro'
which his snoring resounded in un
interrupted melody. By-and-by, no
doubt, he alio awoke; realized—per
haps with a little difficulty—the con
dition of affairs, and, bailing the
steamer, was, "as in duty bound, the
last to leave his ship." I caa't spea
from personal knowledge, and be
may have jumped- or tumbled over
board.. All I know is, that wlin, at
the cost of a ten - pound note, e got
1? 7
a boat next day to go o ff f Liar
det's Beach for our effects, e found
the dead chief mate "in
f,,, 7 e charge,."
. You may suppose tha the interval
between our passage o the (anions
bar, and the little/iscussion that
followed touching t e movements;-of
azommagis or! Ditmewnca_nom /air IWARTEtt
the crew, had- not passed without
some attempt on our part to signify
our gratitude to' our rescuers. Two
meetings had been held—one' in the
caddy, one in the steenge—and a
nice little purse of some 04 'over.
eigns had been made up and duly
paned to the elder of .the twos with a
complunentary speech on therivarter
deck. For himself, however,* had
declined it. ' •
" Thank you kindly, gentlemen:!"
he said, " all the same. "I'm making
money pretty - fast, and - shall get a
ood price for this job ont of the
agents. So, if-you'll allow me, I'll
ust hand.it over to the lad. I couldn't
have got oft witliimt him."
The boy.'colored crimson through
pe tan which browned his honest,
open face ;. and his blue eyes sparkled
with delight.
"Thanking you kindly,gentleMen !
I'm surei" and he took of f his cap
and ruffied,up his crisp, brown curls
in a desperate. attempt at stimulating
adequate utterance. "I'M I'm
heartily. obliged, , gentlemen?—and--
and—and to iyou, too; sir, sure—
and—and—l ain't nowadays good at
talking; gentlemenbul do thank
you—hearty !"
And as the young fellow \ turned
away, it rather seemed to me aiPtho'
ho dashed a brown hand across the
bright blue eyes a little suspiciously.-
" What shall youlki with it all,
my lad ?" I asked presently, as we
were leaning side by side . over the
taffrail waiting for the steamer.
The boy colored again, and the
honest blue eyes lighted up.
" Send it to my sister, air 1" he an
,swered. " The old man's in trouble
just now with losses, and ono thing
and another, and I've saved up five
and-twenty pounds already. There's
a mail goes to-morrow, and—there
she is, sir—there comes the steamer.
I wonder if there'll he a letter in
town from Siff."
By nightfall I 'was. lodged, not very
sumptuolidy as regards accommoda
tion, but royally enough in respect
of cost, at "The Prince of Wales,"
and young , Harry Godwin had left
me to go up to the post-office in
search of a possible letter, promising
to look me 'up the nest day, before
going on board' again, and tell me
all the news—for Master Harry had
interested me, and I really wanted to
know how "the old man" was get
ting on, and whether the prospect
was in any way brightening of that
future meeting between pretty Sis,

beyond Ballarst.
Meanwhile, a less 'romantic, but
more practical and pressing, consid
eration was—dinner; and that dis
cussed, I strolled out fora moonlight
walk at "Canvas Town." I have a
curious faculty, not merely for find
ing my way generally, but for finding
it, in the case of any new or unex-
plored locality, straight to what will,
be for me' the most interesting spot
in it. In the present instance, my
accommodating instinct conducted
me direct to the establishmeht or Mr.
'Hermann Ranch.
From an an architectural point of
view, Mr. Hermann Rauch's ; estabf
lishment could hardly, perhaps, be
considered a success. The biiiiding,
which was abOut fifty feet long by
twenty feet, wide, stolid endwise to
the street, if street it - Could be - called,
which street was none but an irregn
:xi: chasm, of varying-width and un
certain direction, between two rows
of tents and shanties. , Its original
-designkad, evidently been that of a
frame boase, with planked walls,
glazed via Vl's, and asphalted - salted - roof.
f.
And so far as . ncerned a considers-
We portion of the principal front,
this design had been carried into ex
ecution: The doorktood, of course,
in the centre, with a' indoor, ior a
place for - one, on either side. Of
these windows, the one on the • side
nearest the town was complete—all
but the glass— the , wall tfrrough
, which it was pierced being also fairly
,fluished in stout deal planks—all but
ii\iipace of some four or five feet
eqUare s in the top corner, which I at
first toe& to be occupied by a sign,
but whiel“ found, on examination,
to be fillo\4n, for lack of iboards
with some \balf-dozen gaily-painted
tea-trays. o \ n \ the other side of the
door, the plaiik'ng ceased a little
more than half-wato the window,
lip
the remaining porti n`q the facade
being eked out with isinge taipaul
ing. To a fanciful mind: 41a little,
perhaps, under the infin6ac of its
surroundings—the house had alook'
of having been fighting, and of \ hav-1
int/ come off with a gigantic black fie.'
However, the frame-work of that por,
tion of the building was perfect\
enough, and for at least a couple of
yards back the roof also possessed a
fair semblance of the original design,
and was duly covered with asphalted
felt, neatly nailed down. Then, sud
denly, the felt also gave place to ter
pauling, which again, in its turn, was
1 -replaced by a heterogeneous collec
tion of old sails, reefs-poihts, bolt
ropes, and all, just as they had been
cut away from the yards—and with
every here and there an. irregular
opening, hastily slit with a knife, to
let out the smoke and, foul air. Ap
parently even this materiel had run
[ rather short after a time—for the
roof, which at the ~street-end must
have been qui eighteen feet in
height, made ' sudden. dip about
twenty feet b ck, and from thence

though . this a decided artistic , ad
vant4e. It helped theithershbectiff,"
he said, and made tbii building look
longer.
It was the sound 'of music which
first attracted me to the place; and,
on entering, I' found 'albite a harp,
and a cornet-a-piston in full blast. I
don't think they , were ,all playing
quite the , same tune. Indeed, _the
cornet—who; f course,had it all his
own way,and who had evidently ab
sorbed quite as many nohblers "as
were good fer him—was a little .
un
certain as to! both air and key, and,'
even as I entered, ' glided from one ,
tune into another with a ;rapidity
i►hich must a: little have disc:cm:wiled
his accompanists,, .Outside the build
ing the more penetrating tones of the
instruments had.irmie themielves
heard sharply enough. Within; the
babel of sounds, the clamor of a hun
dred vole* the - click of tin pmini
kint and pewter-pots, the shouts , for
beer and 'brandy and a sham,"' the
tattle of dice, the banging of rough
deal tables with letti7 fists, and the
stamping of bege t hobnallet:l boots on
the loosely-imarded ItOpr, made up
among them a volume or noise which,
for Utmost part, fairly domhutted
the musical portion of the entertain
ment, and left the performers free , to
follow their own sweet wills in the.
matter either of time or tune.
Round this ‘randemonium I bad
been • "loa fi ng ' quietly for-half-an•
hour or so, taking an occasional
"nobbler," for the benefit of the house
and lotting
, or winning a half-crown
or so here and there, just to avoid
singularity, when my attention was
arrested by a sight which at that Mo
ment it' grieved me not a little to see.
I'm not strait-laced in the matter
of gambling, while I. confesseit has
always appeared to me at least 48 in
nocent, I mean for losing—or, for the
matter of that; of gidning—money as
a good many others on which the
"Mrs. Grundy " of the period looks
with anything but disfavor. But I
was sorry to see young Harry God
win item
There was something In the boy's
face,..tdo; which only too quickly as
sured'ine 'that he was not at Mr. Her
mann Ranches establishment in any
character of mere ' visitor like my
self. It was air \ honest, open face
enough still; but itliad lost the- mer
ry, careless look which I had never
yet seen absent from even when
the laboring ship was illatelp on the
breakers, and any moment might
find us struggling for - our Hies in a
whirlpool that would drown a Whale.
Now, it had a heavy, anxious, and,
at the • same time, eager look—the
look I have seen so often since, and
had even then seen- more than once,
as the face of some young and begin
ner at the deadly table. '
This, then, was the end of all his
good resolutions:of the evening; this
was to he the Tate of the money which
he had earned so gallantly, and which
was to have been sent off by to mor
row's mail, to help the struggling
father, and good hard working sister
at home. It was no business of mine
of course ; and in such an atmosphere
as that of a gold colony, who - could
expect a lad like that to steer clear
of all the.thousand temptations
around him, and: with his pockets '
full of money too? If he were not
here, he would very likely be doing
worse. And yet I couldn't help be
ing sorry for it—So sorry- that I was
on the pont of making my way to his
side and trying if I could not rescue
poor, pretty •Sis's' fifty pounds for
that night at all events, when the
opportunity passed. The boy who
had been hurrying about from table
to table, looking now at monte, now
at euchre, now at cribbage, but not
venturing yo try his luck at games
of which, as -I afterward found; he
knew absolutely nothing, had at '
length arrived at one where the play
was confined to simple betting upon
the dice, and from which a man was
just rising with a goodly spoil. The
boy hesitated a moment, then set his
teeth close, and set down on the va
cant cask. Before I could make my
way to the - table he had already won
twice ' and the blue eyes were begin
ning to sparkle. 'Then I knew that
I was too late, and that f Ahe fester fit
must run its course. -
Poor Harry t It did. not lake. long.
For about half-an-houi he held
out, now winning a trifle,-now losing
a trifle more. Gradually the little
pile of sovereigha diminished in
bulk then vanished altogether, "and
Harry Godwin's last stake lay on the
beer-stand table. The great, .shag
bearded digger with whom he was
playing gave a huge horse-laugh and,
rattled- the dice-box triumphantly
over his head.
" Last chuck, mate ?" he roared.
pleasantly, ' "Ha

suddenly as he caught sight of me,
"only see here!" • '
I took the letter he held out tome,
and ran my eye rapidly through it.
It was short enough and clear enough
—only too clear. The last sentence
will be sufficient. '
"Soit is .use, Harry," it ran
" Unless the two hundred pounds
can be got at somehow before Christ

then there, was great blot, and the
letter ended abruptly vrithout even a
signature. Butl there . was no need
for any signaturei - nor for - any expla-
nation now for Harry Godwin's pres
ence in that room. It was already
September. The mail—the only
mail that could posrubly reach Eng
land by Christnurit—eailed the next
morning, or, -rather that morning=
for' day was already beginning' to
'dawn.- Dick Golding- 4 poor, dar
;ling Dick "—was many a mile away.
{lf fortune would only smile, the
seventy-flve pounds -the boy already
had in hand -might- even now be
turittrd into the two hundred pounds
Which alone could save: Dick's
sweetheart—his own pretty Sig—
from the fate that - hung over .her.
That was the story of -Harry God
win's visit to Mr. Hermann Rauch's
spielsaal in Canvas Town.
' "Don't bother the lad," I said and
I felt something very like a tingling
in my-own eyelids, and following the
impulse of the moment, I held out
the letter to Harry's late antagonist.
Ile took it, looked at me, then at him
then slapped his great band upon the
table and sprang to his feet
"Harry Godwin I" h 6 shouted.
" Why, if I didn't think I knew his
face ! Areyou Harry Godwin, of
Twofold Bay ?"
The lump in poor Harry's throat
was stiilto big to let him speak; but
he. nodded assent, and dashed the
tears angrily away with his hand.
The next moment the big digger was
standing on the table which creaked
and groaned under his weight. •
"Halloa'there, mates !" he roared,
at the top power of his stentorian
lungs. t Halloa there! Winners,
I ahoy !"
There was a - lull in the clamor
which filled the room, and turned
toward the speaker; who pulled his
battered billy-cock from his head and
held.it out at arm's length.
44 Look here lads!" lie cried; "you've
all heard of Hairy Godwin, the boy
as jumped rightin among the sharks
to save Billy Curling's little wench?"
"Aye! aye !" said one hoarse voice,
answering for the rest ; " We've hearl.
'What - about he?"
\‘ Why, he's down in his luck—
thatis what •he is. His fancy gal "
—the 'speaker was making a slight
confussidn of persons here; but it
don't signify 7 . his fancy gal's got
to marry another One, if' so be as he
can't shell out 'two hundred pounds
by this thunderingsmail ; and darn me
if I aren't been and\rooked him out
of every blessed shiners!"
"..More shame for yon 1" growled
the hoarse voice again.in reply. "Give
the chap hls quids haCk again, and
be hanged to ye I" .
" Give 'em back !" roared the first
speaker as he dashed a huge handful
of coin into - the hat which he still'
held out oratorically. "In course I
will I Here...they be--and & dozen
more to the back of 'em! But that
aren't enough, boys—nor half enough.
So. now, then—winners, ahoy !
Who'll shell out a few shiners to save
plucky tfal Godwin's sweetheart ?"
l_must confess that, as a rule, I
should not expect an appeal of this
sort to meet With much success in - a
ganibling room. But an Australian
or &California digger "on a spree " is
a very dfferent animal from the busi
ness-like habitne of Hamburg or
,Monaco. He plays not so much .for
the gain as for the excitement of the
game; and his great empty -heart is
often but the softer for the little calls
that is surroundings allow of being
made upon it. The . battered billy
cock made its round, and made it by .
no means in vain. Withirk ten min
utes it was back again, and its con
tents were poured out in a shinning
heap upon the table. There was
enough in it to free pretty Sis and to
lerire Harry a ten pound note over,
lute the bargain.

" Never again air I" he answered,
with earnestness. " And, after all,

face with his broadest and merriest
smile, "after all, " you know air ! I .

Ton CORWIN AND THE RUNAWAY
StAvt--Dr. Graham; in 1852, ,was
the proprietor of the Harrodsburg,
(Ky.) Epsom Springs, since purchas
ed oy the Government a a Soldiers'
Home. He, had a favOrite negro
named -Pierson, who when not in the
ball, room or pavilion, walked about
in faultless broadcloth and kid gloves,
and it was said, would ' seldom .talk
to a negro woman not four fifths
white and never to a negro" the
height of the season, when he looked
scorn upon the donor of a halNollar,
and only smiled when the eagle shone
in gold, he ran away. Being educated
he had no difficulty to write his pass
es and go to Ohio . , as'he had often
been there before.
He went to Columbus to amuse
the L e gislature, and there he met
the lion. TOM Corwin. I do not
remember the date when he was Gov
ernor.. .
_ .
Tom said : "Is Dr. Graham here,

"No sahl am alone," he said. •
• " Give my love to the family, and
