Full oi rocks and lull of ledges.

Not a Song you'll hear them singing
Seeing never makes them wise,

Water sparkling, blossom twining.
Toey but see, through these same sorrows,
S wl to-day and worse to morrows.
See the cloud tbat must pas over.

But the golden sunbeam bring.
Drinking from the bitter fountain,
Lo! your mule hill seems a mountain.

One of the most striking headlands

iu the extreme.
Ia the niuz' of the gigantic under
wood on tbe Bluff, at tbe time of

cats, m itikeys, serpents, and other
b-asts and reptiles, roamed at will ;
the precipitous sides and wild entan
glenieut iunurinif protection from the
attacks of tbe hunter.
Within the lait few years a road
has beeu made up tbe Bluff, and a
liirhib-'Ure now crowns tbe summit.
The inner or northern side of tbe
bluff f;run one sido of the Biy of
Niin!, wbile low suud hills inclose it
on the north.
Tbe northern coast is irregular,
and a saad bill stretching far into tbe
bay almost cuts it into two parts ; so
forming a double harbor. From ibis

and tbo water tbere beiag very shal

Fortunately, however, the bluff
protects them on the south ; and, ex

blowing, a tolerable gotd anchorage
is obtaiuable.
Oa account of the imp issibility of
emigrant ships suiliuir over tbe bar,
tee early emigrants were transported
from the ships to tbe beach iu tbe in

frequently bad to be carried tbronnh
the surf to the shore by Kaffirs. On
tho sand bill that divides tbe bay
there stands a lookout and tbe port
enptain or harbir master's bouse; and
ab. ct two miles op the south shore
i situated the town of Durban, tbe
only road to which, at tbe date of
this story, was through tbe bu?h

hottest, days iu the summer of 183 .

During his absence all bad bo
bnstle at tbe harbor. More K-ffir
bad come dowa in the hope of being
bired, and great was tbe amount of
speculation aa to tbe terms likely to
be offered. These Natal Kaffirs are
runaway Zululs. who, having ooce
deserted, are barred from returning to
Zululand under penalty ot death
lbey are both brave and intelligent
and are a much finer set of mea than
the negroes of the west coast. From
the lookout the crew of tbe schooner
could be seen pom ping incessantly, a
continuous stream pouring from ber
side; aud Mr. McKay, whose proffer
of the horse was instigated more by
the hope of profit tbaa disinterested
kindness, for be was tbe owner of the
surf-boats, was waiting for tbe stran
ger s return, and calculating the
amount be would realize by the bus
iness. S ;ooer than could.havebeen expect
ed, tbe capraia came riding op at a
ratiliug pace: and jumping from the
horse said: "Here's tbe permission,
boss, all correct aod complete. And
now, how many niggers ken I bev?"
' Just as many as you like," said
the harbor master; "tbere tbey are
waiting to be hired."
-ow, Bir ten me wnat time in
the morain' ken I git over the bar?
1 draw tea feet of water."
"Tide flows at six o'clock, and you
could come over at eight, I should
say," responded tbe harbor master
Good. Wal, now, too boys, I'll
give yoo seven aod sixpence apiece to
come aud take tn-os all oigbt. There's
a powerful lot o' water ia tbe bold by
this time, aod you'll her to work, I
tell yoo."
Tbe pay was high, aod a murmur
of satisfaction ran through the
crowd; those among the Kaffirs who
did oot understand English having
it explained to them by those wbo
did. Tbe terms were good enough
tor manv white men standing aroood
to jump at; but to work side by side
with Diggers was too degrading, aod
they were obliged to let tbe cbaoce
pass.
"Wal, boys, what say?" asked
tbe Yankee,
.Several voices eagerly accepted
ibe terms, ad the barber master
asked bow many be would engage.
"Jest yoa stand in a row, boys,

This was a large number f .- the

minutes tbe surf-boats with all the
niggers on board were afloat

"Wal, now, that's friendly of you

When the surf-boats returned, tbe

trim a trim a craft as tbe captain
said soe was. Ther also renonrd

Before tbe son bad arisen on the

Mr. McKay and tbe lookout men
were already assembled on the eaod

lmrj and sea, they strained their
eyts across tbe bay, eager to catcb
aa early glance of the schooner
whose arrival aod eoodiion had
caused such unnsoal excitement the
ay before Well might they start
and stare in speecb'eaa astonishment.
There was tbe bay all rigbt, and
tbere was tbe bluff behind i:. but
nothing else! No Southern Cross!
No ship at all ! Nothing to mark
where she bad lain at on tbe previ
ous oigbt. What could it mean?
Could she bave foundered with her

Impossible, for tbe wiod, a mere, cap

McKay.
"Mean?" said the harbormaster

"Wny bow?" gasped the bewilder-

"How ?" responded tbe harbor

A thrill of horror passed tbroogb

"But we saw them pompiog the

That's wbat it waa, Mr. McKay

"Sixty niggers kidnapped before

"A pretty tbiog, upon my word !"

"What's the good of tbat?" growl

"Only p'raps we might see what

tbe admiral was to come roond, we
could say which way she was a-gin',
sir."
"Oh, she's out o' eight by this
time, never fear," said the harbor
master; bat maa tbe boat, and we'll

Away went the men to get tbe
boat, and away went the harbor mw

the beach.

"Well, it's no use now. But where

we might catcb tbem now ; but we

By this time tbe boat was out and
manned, and a beartly poll took tbem
to the Bluff bead ia bait aa hour, but
ao sign ot tbe whaler was to be
seen.
Tbe next day a southern-biund
brig dropped aocbor ia tbe outer by,
and seot ashore for some fresh meat.
The barbur master went off to her,

A rigai Life.
Some lime ago ex Judge Trey, of
Brooslyn, became toe pos-e- r of
tbe Siberian blood bound, "Snao,"
known to sportiog men throughout
ihe country as a terrible fighter But
the dog was bo treacherous ia bis dis
position that ex Judge Tny turned
bim over to a clerk ia bis office, -Mr.
E Uaeriog, who, having been an
athletic performer ia a cumber of
circuses, had become accustomed to
entering ibe cages of wild beasts, un
der tbe instructions of a number ot
sui mat trainers. Mr. Haering agreed
to take tbe dog to bis father's premi
ses lo Atlantic, near Alabama ave
nue. East New York, providing tbat
ex-Judge Troy would pay for tbu
animal's keeping. Mr. Troy willing
ly consented to tbis, and a ca ten
teet long, seven feet wide aud ten
feet high was const rooted in Mr.
llaering's garden, and "Satau" was
placed in it One Wednesday, two
or three weeks ago, "Satan" beg an
io howl, as was bis custom wheu be
wanted food or water. Haering went
into tbe garden lo fted tbe dog, ac- ,
Comoaaied by balf a duzeu persons, ;
curious to see the brute. After giv
ing the dog meat, Haering procured
some water aod stepped witb it iuto
tbe cage oo the outside. He Usually
went into tbe cage lo feed tbe animal,
atid always on such occasions, car
ried a heavy, leaded riding whip. Oa
tbis occasion he had begle-id to
take the whip with him. Haering
set the pan of water ou the flu r, but
the dog eeemfd disinclined u d iok,
refused to be even petted and walk
ed restlessly op ana dowa tbrougO
the cage.
Haering saw that "Satan'' was in
one of his worst humors, and turned
to go ou of tbe cage. He bad oo
sooner taroed bis back than the ani
mal sprang opon bim. Haering then
threw bimeelt lo one side, but the
dog's paw struck bim oo tbe shoul
der, and dog aud man fell to the fLor
together. Haering sprang quickiy io
his feet, and tbe dog jumped at bim
and souk bis teelb into tbe mao's
right arm. Uaeriog, quick as light
uiog, pitched tie Oog over on bis
back aud was jat going to jump oa
his paws, as the brute recovered him
self and sprang for Hatrmg's toroat.
With ooe baud llaenog grasped the
dog's leg, aod witb ibe other cannot
bio by tbe upper eyelid, aod did out
let go bis bold until be bad toro ibe
animal's scalp to tbe back ot his bead.
Tbe dog tell back wub Haering oo
top. Both got their teet and Uaer
iog sprang quickly for the gate ot the
cage.
Tbe dog dashed at bim again, and
Haeriog clinch td the brute, and tried
to set bis teeth iuto bis shaggy oeck.
He failed, bot caught tbe d. g s ear
with bis leeib, and held ou until be
bad cut it off, aod then he burled
he brute to ibe Boor aud tbeu fell
himself
Tte dog rushed at Haering again,
just as be was getting op, aod bit
bim iu tbe left band. Haering tben
tbrost bis baod into tbe brute throat
aod tried to smother bim la the
teirible straggle both fell age a, aad
the dog lacerated llaering's Itft
baod
' Unbolt the door, quick 1" shouted
Haering to tbe men, wbo were stand
ing fifty feet away ; bat no ooe cared
come to tbe rescue.
Haeriog tben threw himself on tbe
dog aod set bis teeth ioto bis throat,
aod at tbe same time grasped the dog
by tbe opper jaw with bis left arm
ootil tbe flesh at tbe Bides of tbe dog's
mouth was torn by tbe strain. Dog
aod maa struggled a boot the cage
for at least five minutes. At last
tbey reached the door, Uaeriog still
keepiog bis teelb in the animal's oeck,
lifted him op and pinned birr against
the side of the cage Tbeu with bis
rigbt baod be onbolied tbe door of
tbe cage aod got outside, at tbe same
time drawing tbe dog's bead tbroogb
and closing tbe gate oa its cetk
Tbea be preseed upon tbe gate wi.b
all bis might. He beld tbe dog in
tbis way ootil be felt bis strength
failing, and tbeo, letting go tbe d '
oeck with bis teelb, be opened tbe
gate silently, aod. with a quick kick,
he knocked tbe dog inside, and closed
and locked tbe gate. Both Haering
aod ibe dog were covered with blood.
1 1 ae ring's lacerated band bled fast,
and blood was roooing from the
brute's throat. Dr. Allen was pent
for, and dressed Haeriog's wooods.
Four of tbe veins ia bis band were
found to have been toro, aod tbey
bave begon to bleed afresh twice

bouse fur constant medical treatment.
He was rapidly improving at last ac
