In tli month of J tine, 1810, 1 fill -d
tba birtb of second uiate on cot

The art of steam navigation -as an-

In these days of clipper built

but at that tune to which I rofer,
tba 'Neptune' was regarded na hav
ins performed a uiarvelnna feat
wben, ou her first trip, alio rode gay

Three houra before the atoamer
tsiled from tba formor port, on her

I bad heeu discharged from my

While convening, aboj approach

''Well,' exclaimed the latter, aa bo
hastily porusod the piper, "what
can I do now f Here's my first mute

What am I to do t He ia a trusty

He stamped his foot impatiently.

Suddenly be turned to me.
"Mr. Ilerne, you are the man !
Coma on board. I will pit you in
tba second mate a birth, for of course
he will have to act first".'
Tba offer, nneipected aa it was,
presented too great a temptation to
be rejected i so, aa I had no wife
whose permission I must obtain, I
harried off to tny lodgings, p ud my
bill, bundled my Inggage together,
and stepped on board the Neptune,
half an Lour before she sailed.
She waa a fiue, staunch craft, pos
sessing bat one fault tbat I could
Me, altbo lgh to be sure that might
prove to be a aerious one, and a it

Her owner bad fitted her op at
great expense, and all that waa pos
sible had been done for the comfort
and convenience of the passenger.
lrge as waa their expenditure it
was not without ita policy, for every
inducement waa necessary to lead
travelers to trust themselves on 'the
new fsngled macbinea".
. If in this early period of their ex
istence an ocean atearaer eeonred
twenty to thirty passengers for one
kip, the waa considered aa reraarkly
'ortnnate. the average number being

Captain Clay listened in silonco :

He walked hastily away, expect

that I had no intention of doing so.

I made no reply i all my faculties

But it was in vain tbat I sought to

while the sighing of the wind amidst
the rigging rendered it impossible
to detect any slight sounds that
might be made.

Although during the racleo fivo of
tho mutineers had bcon seriously

accounted f r by the circumstance
of our possessing firearms, while

A barricade, composed of hum
mocks aud empty casks, had been
thrown across the forecastle, iutur
stices being left horo and there be
tween them, for a purposo which I
ei'Jily divined, eveuhad not my first
glauco revealed the protruding bar
rel of a uiuskot, buhin 1 which ap-
poured tho villainous conntenanco of
tho mato, ovidently on the watch for
the first ono of our party, who
should rashly expose himsulf.
Au instant's letljctiou, decided
my cjnrso. Thero before inn, was
tho ringleader, tha instigntor of
tho mutiny, wlv' ' h had already cost
two valuable lives, even now the
villain was oagurly watching for n
opportunity to a 11 another t f tho
sad list, and whilo ho livod, I felt
that to hope for mercy, or coin
promiso with tho muliiioors, would
bo vain.
I had always beoa ncno'into 1 a
good shot, and with tenth tightly
clenched, I raised my revolver,
taking deliberate aim at tha glaring
eyes that flashed from behiud tho
row of hain nocks mid casks.
15 ing 1 how the sharp report broke
the stillness of the early morn 1
I did not need to tire ugaiu ; tho
mate bounded to his foot, and fell
headlong upon tho barricade boforo
him, where his body remained,
swinging at each tnovoruout of tho
vessel.

tho advisability of storming the

thoy must bo by tho loss of thoir
leader i but I speedily showed thorn
that such un uttempt would bo mad

defensive and to await tho course of
events.
Our patience was not severely
lusted
So cngressod had wo all boen in
the tceiios enacting around us, that
we had uot observed tho threatening
aspect of the heavens.
1 ho wind now began to riso, ana
in two hours time the full forco of
the g ilo was ou us.

The result was to bring all tho
straiu amidships, where she was
least able to bear it.
The waters rose higher and high
er, and as they occasionally swept
over tbo duck, I directed the passen
gers to lush the cutters iu their
places, acd to secure themselves also,
by means of tbo ropes
Scarcely had this precaution been
adopted, when an enormous green
sea camo rushing on behind us,
with ten ill o force, foaming, roaring,
tumbling, fearful object to look at 1
"Hold on, hold ou for your lives I"
I shouted.
And then, with a shock that made
the steamor reol and quiver, the
mighty wavo came abroad.

the wheel, aud borne on its resistless
course.
Tbo next thing I was conscious of,
( fouud myself lyiug in tbe waist of
tbo vessel, which, fortunately for
ine, was some four feet deeper than
the auarter-deok. 1 rose to my feet,
staggoring against the bulkhead that

Of hgony are iliiue.
Who dies t Not nlono the person
who has departed. If deaths means
chango, theu lifo is so much changed
to tun mourners who are left behind
that thoy may be suid to have died,
iu part i for that which constitutes
a great part.of this life has been taken
away No more is lifo to ns the
sumo. It is completely changed
Both io our joy aad in onr sorroy it
is unlike what it was before. The
day hits lost half its brigbtnoss,
wben we feel that the eyes which
have looked with our owu so many
years yill not opon to its beauty,
und when, in a great grief, we feel
that tho heart which has shared in
our previous sorrows boats no more;
we start bewildered, as if waking,
from a dream, and feel that we are
strangers and pilgrims on earth.
Our homo soonis uo longer to us the
home that it wus before. Not aloue
they who die j but tboso who are
left bohind have in part tested
death.
