The reservoir was fuller than it is now, and a few strides would S have earri me ti the margin of the water. Holding on to the cleft above, I felt 'round with one foot for a place to plant it below me. 'ln that moment the flap of a pound pike made me look around, and the roots of the weed upon which I partially_ depended, gave way as I was in the act orturning. Sir, one's senses are sharpened in deadly peril ; es I live now, I distinctly heard the bellsi of Trinity chiming midnight, as I rose to the surface the next instant, immersed in the stone cauldron, where I must swim for my life, heaven only could tell how long! I am a capital swimmer, and this naturally gave me a degree of self-possession. Falling as I had, I of course pitched out xpme Lance 'from the sloping parapet. A- few strokekhrought me to the edge. I really was not yet certain but that I could clamber vp the rice of the f wall anywhere. I hoped that I could. I felt certain at least there was some xpot where I might get told with my hands.,even If I did not ultimately ascend it. I trio the nearest spot. The inclination' of the wall was so . vertieal that it did not even rest me to lean sgain.t it. I felt with my feet. Surely, I thought, there must be sonze fissure like those in which that ill. omened weed had found a place fur its root ! There was none. My fingers became sore in busying themselvis with the harsh end in hospitable stones. My feet slipped trim the smooth and slimy masonry beneath the wa ter ; and several times my face came in rude contact with the wall, when my foothold gave way on the instant that I seemed to have found some diminutive rocky cleet upon which I could stay myself. Sir, did you ever see a rat drowned in a half tilled_hogsheil 1 how be swims round, and round, and round; 'andlafter vainly try leg theuides again and again with his paws, fixes hi eyes upon the upper rim as if he would look himself out of his watery prison. I thought of the Miserable vermin, thought of him as I bad often watched thus his dying agonies, when a cruel urchin of eight or ten. Boys are horribly cruel, sir; boys, women, and savages. AU childlike things are cruel; from a want of thought and from perverse ingenuity, although by instinct each of these is so tender. You may not .have observed it, hut a savage is as tender to its own young as a box is to a favorite puppy—the same boy.that will torture a kitten out of exist ence. I thought, then, I say, of the rat drowning in a halifilled cask of water, and lifting his gaze out of the vessel as he grew more and more desperate, and I flung my. self onluy back and floating thus, fixed my eyes upon the face of the moon. The moon : is well enough in her way, how ever you may look at her; but her appear. ance is, to say' the least of it, peculiar to a man floating on his back in the centre of a stone tank, with r dead wall of, some fifteen or twenty feet rising squarely - on every side of hire. Kthe young man smiled bitterly as he said this, and shuddered once or twice be fore he Went on musingly.) The last time I had noted the planet with any emotion she was on the wane. Mary was with me ; I had brought her out here One.morning to look at the view from the top of the reservoir. She said little of the scene, but as we talked of our old-and Chirdi4i loves, I saw that its fresh features were incorporating themselves with tender memories of the-past, and I was content. There was a rich golden haze upon the landscape, and as my own spirits-rose amid the voluptuous atmosphere, she pointed' to the waning planet, discernible like a &int gash in !be welkin, and wondered bow long it would be before the leaves would fall. Strange girl, did she mean to rebuke my joyous mood, as if we had no right to tw happy while nature, withering in her pzinp. and the sickly moon wasting in the blaze of noontide, were thereto remind us of the gone-forever?'They will all renew tlmm selvcs, dear Mary,' said I, encouragingly and there is one that will ever keep tryste alike with thee and-nature through all sea sons, if thou wilt but be true to one of us, and remain as now, a child of nature.' A tear sprang to her eye, and then search ing her pocket for her card else, she remem bered an engagement to be present at Miss Lawson's opening of Fall bonnets, at two o'clock! , And yet dear. wild, wayward Mary,' I thought of her now. You have - probably outlived dila sort of thing, sir; but I, looking at the moon,.sis) flouted there upturned to her yellow light, thought of the loved being whose tears -I knew would flow when she heard of my-singular fate, at once. so gro. tesque, yet melancholy to awfulness. And bow often we have talked, too, of that Cerise shepherd who spent his damp nights upon the hills, gazing as I did on the lustrous planet ! Who will revel.with her amid those old superstitions?

It was not altogether a dead pull. I had some variety of emotion in making my circuit. When .I swam in the shadow, it looked to me more.cheerfut beyond in the. .tnodnlight. When I swam in the moonlight I had the hope of making some discovery when' I should again reach the shadow. I turned several times on my back to rest just where those `avy lines would_ Mem..

And yet there as nothing else - with which 1 could hold communion! 4 turned upon my breast and struck out almost frantically, once. more. The start were forgotten, the moon, the very world, of which I as yet formed a part, my poor Mary herself was fiwoOtten. 1 thiiught only of the 'Strong matt there perishing; of me in my lusty manhood, in the sha - rp vigor ofmy dawn ing prime, with faculties illimitable, with seas es all alert, battling there with physical obsta cles which met like myself had brought to gether for my undoing. The eternal could never have willed this thing! I could not and and I would not perish thus. I grew strong er in insolence of seif trust.; and laughed al - and as I dashed the sluggish water irocti side to Then came an emotion of pity for. myself —of wild, wild regret ; of sorrow, oh, lnfini te, for a fate so deso late, a doom so dreary, so heart•sickening. You may laugh at the con. tradiction, if y sir,•but I felt that I could sacrifice my own life on the instant, to redeem another fellow creature from such a place of horror, from an end so piteous:— My soul and my vital spirit seemed in that desperate moment to be. separating; while one in parting grieved over the deplorable fate of the otker.' . And then I Prayed! I prayed,.why or wherefore I know not.— It was not from fear. It could not have been in lope.. The days of miles are passed, and there was no natural by whose prov idential interpo4ition 1 co& be saved. I did not pray ; it prayed of itself, my soul with ib me. . Was the calmness that 1 now felt, torpidi ty? the torTidity that proceeds dissolution to the strong swimmer who, sinking from ex haustion, roust at last add a bubble to the wave as be suffocates beneath the e 1 anent which now denied his mastery? If it were so, how fortiinate was it that my floating rod at that moment attracted my attention as it dashed through the water bylne. I saw. on the instant that a fish bad entangled- himself in the wire noose. The rod quivered,plunged, came again to the surface and rippled the wa ter as it .shot in arrowy flight from side to side of the tank. At last, driven toward the southeast corner of the rlservoir, the , small end seemed to have got foul somewhere.— The brazen butt, whicb;every time thp fish sounded, was thrown up to the moon, now sank by its own !eight, showing that, the other end must be fast.. But the cornered fish, evidently anchored somewhere by that abort wire, floundered several times to 'the surface before 1 thought of striking out to the spot. The water is low now and tolerablrelear. You may see the very ledge there, sir, in yonder corner, on ;Web the small end of my .rod rested when secured that pike withmy hands. I did not take him from the slip noose; however, but standibg upon the ledge, handled the rod in a workmanlike. manner, as I flung that pound pickerel over the iron railing upon the top of the parapet. The rod, as 1 here told you, barely reached from the railing to the water. It was a heavy, strong,' bass rod, which-1 had borrowed the Spirit of the Times office; and when- I dis covered that the fish attise end of tl wire made a strong enough knot to prevellt _me from drawing my.tackle away from the rail : ing, jsround which it twined itself as l'tbrew, why; as you can ad once see, I had little diffi culty in making my way up the. face of the wall with such aststance. The ladder which attracted your notice is, as you see, lashed to' the railing in the identical spot where I thus made my escape•; a n d tbr fear of similar ac cidents, they, have placed ahother one in the corresponding corner of_ the' other compart ment of the tank, ever since my remarkable .night's adventure in the Reservoir." `Ye give the above singular' relation ver batim, as heard from the lips of our chance acquaintance; and, although strongly tempt. ed tq " work it up" afterthe fantastic style of a famous German namesake, refer that the reader should have it in its.

(MY persons are killed by lightning every year in this country, and as the season is approaching when casualties of this kind are imniinent. a few words of advice and caution 11DOil ,the . subject may serve as a safeguard , if direfully observed. • During the prevalence of a recent thunder. storm, which visited the town and 'vicinity of St. Peters'burg,, 111., two men were sad. denly killed by a stroke of lightning. , which descended the chimney of the house inwhich they were residing. One of the unfortunate victims was in the act of winding a - chalk that stood on the mantelpiece, and the other was standing immediately behind him, when both were struck lifeless. Two wonien were at the same time sitting in the room and es. caped in:fury, as they happened to be seated stune distance from the chimney. When the lightning's flash and the thun dcr's.crash,are seen end heard almost simul taneously, it is a sign that danger is at hand, and the next bolt may strike the tenement which affords us shelter. To know the place of greatest safety upon such an occasion is important knowledge. This science clearly teaches us. anci at a faithful monitor, its voice should be beard with attention. The earth and atmosphere are saturated with electricity, which ordinarily,remains in a state of equilibrium. When this condition is disturbed we itave the phenomena of thun. der storms--whieb is simply an effort of na ture to restore the electric equilibrium be tween tbe atmosphere and the earth. The atmosphere in such cases converted.into a huge Leyden jar; the lightning is simply dis ruptive discharges through the intervening air; and thunder ii the sound caused by the-. violent and sudden compression of the air. producing 'ware*, hence the continued' roll like the discharge of artillery. Lightning is the must subtile'and irresistible power of nature. A single flash can shiver the tall mast of a war-ship that might bid defiance to a cannonade, or rend the lofty osk.of the for est to splinters in an instant; and a single bolt has toppled the tall church spire to the dust in the twinkling of en eye. What is the puny power of man before such a mighty agent? It is physically frail as a feather `or a trembling leaf. - Armed in' the panoply of science, however, man, like a weak but skill ful general, can manceuver his forces against this otherwise destructive power, and convert danger into comparative safety. This dicovery was made when Franklin proved 'the identity of lightning and electric ity, with his little kite. Electricity possess. es the peculiar property of flowing quietly along or through what are- called_ "conduc tors,' such as copper, gold, iron, 47e.;, and taking advantage of this, the American phi losopher suggested the erection of tall rods of iron or copper on houses and ships, to tap the Leyden jars of the atmosphere, and con, vey their charges quietly and safely to the earth. This suggestion carried out has saved thbusands of lives and, millions' worth• of property, hence all houses should be,,,provid ed with such conductors; but as is the case now, perhaps the great majority of buildings will always be unsupplied with such agencies. In all such cases, it should never, be forgot. ten that the lightning always seeks to pass to the earth by the nearest and most prominent conductors, hence we have an explanation of the cause why trees, masts of ships, steeples of churches, towers, and chimneys are so oft en struck, and why the personi referred to above should not have been standing so near the fire-place on the occasion of a- thunder: storm which cost them their lives. -In such storms persons in 'houses should sit or 'lie in some place as far distant as possible from the chi?aney, and the most exposed 'parts of the middle of the room, if it is large, is the safest locality. Sailors an the sea should keep el far from ,the masts as pos sible, and farmers in the fields should neier seek shelter under the trees. Horizontal strokes of lightning sotnetifnes take and several persons have been struck while sitting at open windows during thunder storms. Every window of a room in which persons are sitting, in such cases, should be. closed ; a flash of the fluid, which would page through an open window into an apartment, will be conducted down through the floor . and wall to the earth if the window is shut. We have thus given some directions to be followed tiy :all persons during the prevalence of i lightning, and we have ; set • forth._ . the .11Ci. epee of the question, sothat all may net on , ly see the reasonableness 'of oue'rernirks but their seasonableness also.—Seientific I- g Mrs. Paftington, after ltatening to the reading of an advertisement'for's young ladit4' boarding schpo4 said : "ForMy pirt, I cant ;deceive. what .ou airth eddicatior, is coming t 0...

Ac the world unquestionably owes to the African saint the preservation of one of the,finest productions of Pagan literature ; so is it indebted to the Italian church for all that yet remains of the form and spirit of the 'religious system which preceded •it.— May it not be--from Pagan Rome that the modern church derives its marvellous' facul ty of adaptation to thespifithal wants of the humblest and most untutored understandings, which qualifies it in part for its extraordina ry successes among savages and semi-barha rises, and makes it the popular' faith of a large portion of the e most depresied daises throughout Christendom 2 •Fancy Fern.

It says; "Gentlemen and ladies, attend to your own concerns—l am equal to take_ care of mine." Her habitual expression indicates that. there is more of good than evil in her composition, but that she could be ugly if neixssary.— Nature endowed her with very fi ne sensibili. ties, and if these have been rendered too sharp by the hard friction of life it is her misfortune, rather than bar sin. • "Fanny" dresies in good taste, generally with black flounced dress.' grey cloak, and drab hat, with plum and.deep black veil; sometimes she wears a sky.tyluo hat; and sometimes she appears clad in black velvet, with a pink bon net blossoming with roses.—N.
