'We were soon seated in the sanded parlor of the cosy little tavern . , with a - bowl of smoking punch between ns, and under its generous influence, Ser geant Eigood Grath speedily dropped what remained of his official reserve. ; and even became loquacious.

Although I had 'been a coast guardsman • for a number of years, and was even then hoping to get-my ap pointment as sergeant every day in the week, I still . continued to live in the-large town.of F—, where I was born and bred,: though its distance from the coast=nearly tithe miles= sometimes caused me serious incon venience in the performance army duties. •s " I had known and hiVed Jessie_ Silt, the. parson's only daughter, I ever since I was a youngster; but, I though she would always treat me as iin old and near friend, she would always laugh, or in some other. way stave mG Olt, whenever 1 grew ippony and threatened to declare my pas sion. ,llowever t after .her father and mother died. , and ‘ she was throltit;gt on the' needlework for her Orelup port, and I, at the, same t ad just received my appointmentitn the guard—which almost . any young man in the town would have sold his soul for—l - thought.thatX would, have it I pretty much i my 030 way.; seeing that little Jessie ha& a' bard time of it,swbile I was Wellible to support a wife, besides being not bad looking, andlaviiig a reputation for sobriety] and - industry.. , `, " But Tittle Jessie, to my aurprise and mortification, after " listening to my - story very' attentively, candidly told me that she could neverbe my wife.

The times were tronbltsome, and a vast deal of .smuggling was said to be going on under our - very nose, though the I coast guard - in this district:WWl dou bled, and I was made a full corporal. - A large-number of the poorer gentry in the interior were suspected of be ing in league with the smugglers. " Watch as we might, our plans Were nearly' alWays defeated. Bsdes andboxes 'of goods were landed run the lonely shore - at midnight, and .carted far Inland before we knew what we were about. " The most notorious of the smug glers wis bold fellow named Allen Burt, w-ho had been wonderfully suc cessful On the Cornish coast, and afterward. gave its his individual at tention;" We laid innumerable traps for him, but only got down on the shore in time io see his swift schoon er seuddinc , away before the - wind, ; And to scractniur heads over the probability that a rich cargo from her hold was already qn , its way to , the wine gellars aust,prfrate store rooms, of some of theitttstea of the intkrior. , ';.At last, however, we..discovered that • the freebooters bade_a-care, - atA Glensmere. The entrance iiras very small, and could only be approached .-and then - with considerable difll - lowest tide. Two of our men entered to explore it, and never . returned. So we concluded that they bad been__ slain by men concealed within the v 41- Cavern, and were very cautions in ont c plans: • "The lieutenant in charge of the coast determined to make.. a ' grand effort to capture the cave aid all the , smugglers _connected, with it. He received trustworthy information that Allen - Burt was to make an , at tempt to land goods a' certain night, and took his measures accord ingly., A revenue cutter was hid away behind the Long Headland;; to steam out at a moment's notice, and cut off the escape of the schooner, Mill EEEN i: :~: ixl 1 O.llJ~~' should she_ put in an appearance. The', majority of the ,guard—aome thirty In number—were concealed under the ellirs along thefieseb, ready to tackle the smugglers tatthey land ed at Glensmere ;. and I, with four men tinder my command, was to, take up a poaition in that littWoot-pith which - you . saw winding ownthe face of the crag toward the cove. " Grath; said the lieutenant; when the. preparations were about com plete, " the thieves have many con federates ashore, and, in case of ir covery, I believe they will mak a signal, and an attempt will be m de to, blow up the cavern, which _Lbave all along,. suspected to be mined for that.purpose: Your position will be directly over the cave, and you will have the- o p portunity of grabbing any incendiary' who may be lurking around., " Yes; sir,' says I, scratching my head, and feeling anything but cheer ful at the prospect of being blown higher than a kite. ' And do I un derstand you - to hint, sir, there is a reasonable chan&of promotion for a pooifellow who does his duty un der sucknircumstances?' "'Grath,' saysiie, 'there is a chance —a very reasonaide chance. . "+ Then., sir,' says I f ' - you can count on me through thick and thin.' "That-aft,ernoon, as I was going along the cliffs; oni. of my men, who had,, , jiat come from the town here, asked me if I knew that Jessie Holt and Master Guy Harnett-were going to be married in three &Lys.

"We crawled down the narrow path and took up our position about half-way between the summit of the cliff and the sands; and just at the edge bf a narrow crevice in the rock, which cut through the. path; like a knife, and seemed' to pierce 0474 down, ever so deep, as the noise of the loosened stones we sent rattlii?'• down was heard• a long time before it died aWay.

" I bad become so interested in the scene that I bad forgotten all about the duties of my position • but a mo ment after the,Tockeehail risen athd disappeared, .I .was suddenly recalled to them by a ball of_iire, like a burn ing turiTentine ball attached .to a stone, whizzing by my hew' and dis appearing into the crevices at my feet. " Lgave a shout, and, springing up the footps.tk like a goat, seized - the form of a woman in full flight. Her face was veiled, and she struggled wildly to free herself. But it was of no avail ; ,I" held her like a Vice. I . tore:the vejLfrom her face; and gnie a groan recog Jessie Holt: She returned my . vratiny .7eritlr a stubborn, defiant stair, though her face expressed the wildest - uneasiness and exeitement.-A bust of suspicions rushed across my mind. in an instant, but no time was to he lost.

The only damage it effected, however, was to blow out fragments. .of rock at the,,mouth of, the cave, Without detriment to either party, as the fight was going on farther up the beach.- The smugglers were almost Baal to. the coast guard in numbers, "and were making a grand 'resistance. They were -.led by , a dashiugieung fellow t whose fate was s Fiartia - e.on cealed by aivide felt hat.

"Allen Burt, with the men • wig remained in the schooner, died in the .ill fated schooner.

The calmer glories of the summer evenings havejust glien plane to the glowing of the most beautiful and interesting constella tions, and the observer may also with one sweep of the eye view three of the"moat interesting planets.', Mighty Supiter and his four tompanions ; ringed and leaden-hued Saturn' and his satellites, and ruddy Mara, with the interest that of late years has attached thereto by the diticoveries of science, are all in sight, even in the early evening. An all-night vigil will witness the silent, _beautiful and awe-inspiring spectacle of the unrolling of the moat resplendent scenery upon the mighty panorama of the skies. The watcher, taking his station- at 9 P. If. and keeping it until dawn, will, it armed with but the slightest astronomiCal knowledge and a decent appreciation of what his own eyes can see, be an, enthusiast in the_ study before- the light. of day brings the astronomical lesson' to a close. There will come before hiin "Sagittarius" with his bow—the oldest archer in the. nni- verse; " Bootes," - driving his mighty bears, and beautiful as his distinctive • mask that beautiful star Job himself has told us of ; the " Eagle`" and the "Wolf" with.their _attending mysti cism of nebuhu and clusters of migh ty outlying systems; "The Cross," whose flaming symbol flashes as bright as when in distant Judea the divine tragedy gave it its awful sym bolism.; damp old " Aquarius the ,pretty "Diamond " that some Sombre old thinker has taught us to call "Job's coffin;" winged." PegasulV with his magic square ; flrey-hearted " Scorpio " just, passing from view; rampant star-horned "Taurus," with his cluster-gemmed front; tnagnifi-. cent "Orion,"-the belted and sword ed prince of the starry hosts, with his drapery of nebule that will•serVe for study forlhe world'sastronomera till time shall end ; " Perseus " and. the wonderful varying star "Algol." glowing "Sirius," the sole interest of the constellation it graees; and in deed a score of other constellations and the brilliant pointt thereof will all pass before the visiOrtin one short night. However, thislmautiTal exhi-, *Mon is not billed for "one;: night; only," but will -hold the bohrds for the month and mu - eh longer -4 and it does not cost a cent to-see it. Only a step out-doors and there it an lies. before the beholde - r, with-no price set upon it except a ',Tun' of ague or a well-developed catarrh for those who do - not know enofigli to guard - against infringement of nature's most com -1 mon laws, and are susceptible to the jnfluences of the night air. ' The trouble with- Jupiter has not yet,beerOxplained to the satisfaction of. all. That there is ' something strange going on upon the surface of the iant planet is plainly to be seen, even by the glassused by the.writer and the e:tnater instruments owned by Mr. Puddefoot and others of this city. A huge spot of a shape that may be - described as a very flat ellipse is seep lyinvouth of the equatorial belt, Ou - close inspection it proves I to be of a color matching tha t of the northern belt, and a curvature in the southern belt near which it lies shows that the belt and spot are not of af finitive natures, the spot evidently repelling the belt. Thosewh - o believe 1 that Jupiter is shining by its own light, tout least %the extent, think this spot is a' huge Till in the sur- . rounding medium, revealing the firey mass 'beneath. The ' measurements even by_ astronomers show that the spot covers about 60,000,000rNuare_ miles—or is far larger than the ag.: gregate of all the dry land on the earth's su'rface. By observing, it the rate. of Jupiter's revolution about its axis can easily be noted. - ANIMALS AND Music.:‘,=Some ani mals arc fond of music; horses espe ,cially love to hear martial musicond the sound of the trumpet will fill them with _fire aini-ipirTt.
