Early in the summer of 1754 the good ship Grampus left the harbor or Nantucket, bound for London with a cargo of oil. She was a new ship, built after the moat improved models. staunch and trim, for those days, of great speed. Her owner Jethro Co (Tin, a near relative of the English admiral of that name, was on board ; and she was commanded by Both Macy, a friend and companion of Jethro's from boyhood. These two men, as well as most of the crew, were Quakers. But the greater part of Seth's life had been spent en the high seas, and his exper ience in ill-goverend Spanish ports and among savage islanders had taught him that, though non-resistenoe did very well in Nantucket, it was neither safe nor easy road to travel any where else; and while the Grampus was loading for her voyage he had urged Jethro to arm her with four six pounders; for England was at that time at war with France, and of course the colonies were dragged into it also. But Jethro, true to his principles, re jected the proposal with righteous in dignation, ana they set sail, much to Seth's disgust, armed only with lances and harpoons for warfare with whales, in search of which they were to pro ceed after disposing of their cargo in London. They had accomplished about two thirds of the voyage, and, the ship be ing under easy sail, some of the men were lounging about the deck, and some were gathered on the forecastle listening to a yarn from a man-of-war's-man who had been in the En glish navy. "Forward there 1" shouted the first mate, who had been sweeping the hor izon with his glass. "Ay, ay!" answered I lie men readi ly, and the marvelous story was cut short. "Jump aloft, one of you who have good eyes," continued he, "and tell me what you make out of that craft with such raking masts on our weath bow." "Ay, ay !" and several men sprang aloft. "Main-topgallant there!" hailed the mate. "Ay, ay V replied the man with the glass. (These Quakers did not use the affix sir in addressing their offi cers ; every man, high or low, was called hy his given name, and titles of all kinds were eschewed from relig ious principles.) "What sort of craft is to windward, and how is she standing!" cried the mate. "It is a small black shooner, all legs and arms," replied the sailor; "and she is besring down for us.under a press of sail. Now she runs up a flag, and by the flash and smoke she spits, she has just fired a gun." A dull, heavy report came boom ing on the breeze, and a thundering sound echoed againBt the ship's side. The mate's glass was bent upon the schooner, whose bull was dot vet visi ble, but the flag was found to be French. "Steward, call the captain 1" tried the mate, iu alarm. "Forward there ! call all hands on deck ; stand by to put the ship about." "Ay, ay!" responded the well-trained sailors, and every man stood at his post ready for prompt action. Both Macy and Coffin appeared upon the deck wondering at being sent for, and surprised to find every man ready for the word of command to change the course of the iship. "What docs this mean?" asked the captain ; "why dost thou change the ship's course?" . "I don't intend to without orders," said the mate, "but I thought best to have everything ready for prompt luatifleuvenug. We have a suspicious looking sail on her weatherbow, and she shows French colors. By the rake of her masts and general rig, I think she's a clipper, with a long torn amid ships ; she has given us agun already." "Rather a dangerous neighbor for us," said the captain, "and I think she will prove one of those piratical rascals that cut up the commerce of these seas; but keep the ship away," continued he, rising his glass again, "and see if she fellows us." Away went the Grampus, with a free wind, turning the spiay from hei bows handsomely, on her altered course. The Frenchman turned also, and gained steadily upon her. The ship was deeply laden with oil, and would be a prize of great value, and, as Beth thought, was eminently worth preserving, though the Frenchman was determined she should change owners. They managed their little craft with great skill, altering their course with Macy's, and gaining all the time. The breeze was only brisk, but it just suited the schooner, while the ladan ship, though the fleetest of her class, couldn't show her heels to advantage without a stronger wind. wtnnhiimn. MAY 81, 1876. . ILL Macy tried her on every tack, but es cape be could not the wedge-like schooner gained upon him at every turn. "Now I would give half our cargo for a few guns to speak to ehat saucy rascal in bis own language," said Ma cy, turning bitterly to Jethro. "Now is the time for those six-pounders 1 urged thee about before we left port; I .lear thou will pay dearly for not tak ing my advice. Aht there comes sa lute number two." A gun was fired by the Frenchman across the bow of Grampus, warning her to heave to. Macy paced the deck In agony of spirit, muttering words as he went that sounded much like swear ing. He ordered the Grampus to be kept off two or three points and a fore top mast studding-sail set; but in the hurry by some mishap the tact got tin rove. A couple of hands were order ed aloft to rig in the boom and reave in the tact anew. Isaao Coffin, son of Jethro, who bad struggled himself on hoard against his father's express or ders, and who bad hardly made his pence with him yet, heard the order, and seizing the end of the rope with his teeth raD up the foreshrouds, crept out on the top of the foreyard like a monkey, and then out on the bare boom. But before lie had half done his task the Frenchman brought their long-toai, charged with small shot, to bear upon the yard, and let fly at Isaac; thinking, probably, the addi tional sail might enable the Grampus to escape. Young Coffin was unharm ed though the balls whistled about him like hail, and he went fearlessly on with his work. "They are charging the gun again,'1 shouted Jethro. "Come down, my boy; creep in! creep in I Catch the halliards and come down with a run 1" "Ay, ay 1" cried Isaac, as he finished reeving the tack, and gathering a few fathoms in his band threw the coil down on the forecastle, and the men then hoisted the sail instantly. The Frenchman aimed his gun again, but Isaas was descending like a flash, and as he reached the deck the sailors fairly bugged him in their joy and admiration of his bravery. The hasty strides of Seth were again arrested by another shot which passed through the tail over his head. He clinched his hands and looked up at the torn sail. "By heavens I" said he, I will not part with so fiue a ship and cargo without a deadly struggle." "Swear not! said Jethro; "it will not help us in our strait. We had better yield quietly to the necessity. Put down the helm, Seth and bring the shin to." "Yield quietly, didst thon sayf Did I understand thee aright when thou bidst me bring the ship to?" The eyes of Seth glared upon Jethro, and his nostrils distended like a bull at bay. "Put down the helm, indeed 1 Jethro Coffin, who is commander of the Gram pus, thou or I V demanded Macy, in a heat of passion. "Jethro answered catnly, "Thou surely art her captain. Save the ship, if thou canst, but thou can'st not. We have no means of detense, and if we had it would not be justifia ble to oppose with arms." "Jethro, I will save this ship or sink in her. What! yield to that little gad fly a gallinipper .that is scarcely larger than our long-boat 7 Another shot, better directed, splin tered the mainmast a little and woun ded two men. "There, Jethro 1 that is some of the tender mercy for the French pirate a foretaste of what we may expect if taken. "Yield, Seth ! The longer thou delay, The more hazard to the lives of our people; he is a man of war I" "Go thou below, Jethro! I com mand here! Yield, indeed!" he mut tered, as Jethro began to descend ; I will sink first 1" "Stand by there, men !" shouted Seth, in a voice which made every sailor start. It was evident that he had put off the Quaker, and the men responded heartily to it. "Get the long-boat ready to be launched at a moment's waruing; clear away the quarter-boats, and see all clear to low er them in 'an instant. Mate, take in all the small sail at once." Macy's voice and manner were res olute and peremptory, and the men executed the orders promptly and were ready ibr the next, though won dering what the captain ment to do. The Frenchman was also at fault taking the maneuvering of Beth for an intention to give up his ship, and hove the schooner to, and waited the lowering of a boat from the Grampus. Iu rounding to, as Seth had calculated, the Frenchman had given the advan tage of the wind to the ship, and while his men stood rgape at the manage ment of the larger vessel which they looked upon as a prize, Setb seized the helm in bis brawny hand. The men scarcely needed the word, but antici $2 PER ANNUM. pated his intention as he put the helm bard np, and in a compressed bnt concentrated voice which was beard distinctly from stern to stern, he (raid, "Let to till the braces, and bowlines. slack off sheets and tacks, and square me yaras quiOK 1 It was done in a twinkling, and Macy shaped his course as though he would bring his ship under lee quar ter of the privateer. This feint com pletely deceived the enemy, when Seth suddenly changed his course and brought her head to bear directly up on the hull of the Frenchman. Her crew discovered now, but too late, the cesign or the Urarapus, and dire con fusion ensued upon the crowded deck. "If thou dost intend to run her down, said Jethro stamping flurried W, projecting his head a moment from the cabin eancwav "if nav hear ma. Seth for the sake of humanity if tnou hast determine J to run her down, ease tny helm a little and give them a chance for tbeir lives." "Stand by to lower the boats!" thudered Seth, stamping furiously up on the deck. A groan of horror es caped his own crew, for not till this moment had they really seen the de sign of their captain, and the swarth iest cheek grew a shade paler; but it was lor their lives, and they knew it. The schooner lay in the trough of the sea, her decks covered with confusion, and the huge hulk of the Grampus poising on the last high wave above her. "MUericorde!" A wild veil of des pair, beard far above the dashing of tne Bhip ani rushing of the waters, burst from the doomed Frenchman an instant and down came the Grampus foaming and thundering up on the privateer. Her plunging bow striking her just amidship, cut the small vessel directly in two, and her heavy armament, together with the tremendous force of the levering blow, sent her beneath tbe waves to rise no more; and all her ill-futed crew of one hundred and fifty souls went under with her; a few struggled a moment in the mighty vortex, but werofarried down, and the next wave effaced every bubble of the mass of human life so terribly and instantly quench ed. "Down with tho boats from the quarter launch the long-boat 1" The command, though it could not have been uiteed or executed sooner with safity, came too late. The arm of Seth had been too futally sure. His own boat narrowly escaped being sucked into tbe whirlpool made bv the sinking schooner, and not one of the frenchman s crew rose or again saw the face of day. Seth entered the cabin, and walking up to Jethro, said : "The Grampus is saved, but it had been less costly if thou had been wiser -at Nantucket. Hereafter in times like these arm thy ships ; the best way to be at peace is to show thyself ready for war." And bowing his head upon his hand Jethro answered nothing. YOI'.MJ AUAIN. The Adrain (Mich.) Timet thus tells a pleasant stery, which, it says, comes to if'from out npar Phillips's Corners, in the edge of Ohio." "It seems that Mr. William Kynd, brother of Dr. Rynd, of this city, who lives near there with his father, had purchased a wild young colt which no one could handle. He desired the colt, which was a stout, spirited animal, should be broken to horse-back riding, but the colt steadily resisted all efforts that were made to mount him. The country round about was searched for a man who would dare to ride the colt. None could be found. At last the father, Mr. Charles Rynd, who is seventy-six years old, ordered his son to bring him his spurs. The old, rusty spurs were brought out, and nmid the protest of son and daughters and all who stood by, the old gentleman mounted the snorting steed. Rearing and pitching and tearing, the colt went around the yard, while the woman cried and brg the old gentleman to dismount and save his neck. At every jump the colt make the spurs were drawn from his side and the blood followed. In an hour or less the animal was per fectly quiet and docilo. The old gen tleman rode him up to the barn, and dismounting, remarked that be didn't feel ver7 much over twenty-one ysurs old." "Ma, does pa kiss the cat?" "Why, no, ray son. What in the name of goodness put that in your head?" "Cos when pa came down stain this morning he kissed Sarah in the hall way and said, 'That's better than kiss ing that old cat up stairs ain't it, Sarah ?'

On Easter eve, a Deacon Home came home from class meeting, he thought he would buy a few eggs to color for the children, and so stopped in at a grocery store and procured half a dozen, which ho placed in the pockets of his coat tail. The deacon is an absent-minded man, and by the time he reached home he had forgot ten all about tbe egw, to they remain ed in his pockets, lie woro the Cfta( to church next day, and sat on three of the eggs during a large portion of the service. Just before the sermon he had to take up the collection, and started down the aisle to do to. As he handed the box to Mrs. Coffin ho thought he saw a bug crawling err her bonnet, and while she was get ting her money ready he put his Land into his coat-tail pocket to get his handkerchief to brush it off. As his hand descended Mrs. Coffin observed a look of anguish steal across his face, and, as she thought he waa angry b cause she hadn't given enough, she exclaimed out loud : "It's none of vour business, anyway, what I give. I'll give just what I please and you needu't be glaring at me in that way. I won't have it 1" This made the deacon so nervous that be lost his presence of mind, and pulling out his hand, which was coh ered with broken shell and had five yellow strings dangling from it, .he tried to brush that bug from Mrs. Coffin's bonnet with it. Aa toon as she caught a glimpse of the bedaubed hand.she rose up in the pew.brandished her umbrella under the deacon's nose and shrieked: "G' way from here ! G' way from here this instant 1 If you put that nasty atuff on me, Mr. Home, I'll knock the breath outen you with this umbrella. G' way, I tell yon." The deacon felt ready to faint, and ho clutched the top of the pew to keep himself from falling. Noticing tbe smear made by his hand, he dropped the box and held on with the other hand. Then it occurred to him that he must pick up the box, and he did so, collecting the scattered money with his egged hand, and getting it in an awful condition." Then the broken eggs began to ooze through the pocket, and he stood there in the aisle with at thin, yellow string dripping from each coat-tail, until Brother Smith sugges ted that he was spoiling tbe carpet ; and then, in titter desperation, the deacon darted for front door, taking with him the money-box, and con firming old Mrs. Coffin's suspicions that he intended from the first to rob the church aa soon as he got a chance. She was about to stand up and cry "Stop thief!" when Miss CofBn ex plained the matter to her and she subsided. The deacon hasn't been to church since Easter. He is getting his Sun day coat cleaned and his Coolings soothed. The St. Louis Republican mentions some of the troubles that will follow the new money: "When a man walks much the inside of his legs will be chafed raw. When lets than a dollar is to go by mail it will have to he con verted first into postage stamps. When you run for a street car, money will fly out of your pockets at every jump. When you tell your wife that you have no money she will say that you lie for she heard it jingle. It will be difficult to pay a man a quarter by mistake for a half. When yon are in a hurry the storekeeper will have to weigh the ooin in his hand and sound it twenty five times on the counter before ha can determine whether it is goad. The baby will swallow a dime day. A boy with a quarter will lose it in a crack in two minutes, from which no amount of coaxing with forks and chips can recover iu Sleepy men will put buttons aud lozenges into the con tribution boxes aa of yore." An Eastern paper having had cou- siderable to say about "raising1 chick ens by hand," the Galveston News re sponds. ."Such information is not needed ut the South. The whole col' ored population know how to do it, and an enterprising freedman can raise more pullets iu a single night, on his way home from prayer meeting, than that Eastern editor could raise in a year with all his science." Some old fraud says, "Get up with the sun if you want to be healthy and wise." It is easy enough to follow this advice in tho winter, when tho sun acts sensibly, and doesn't get up uutil seven o'clock; but when he com mences to get up at four o'clock, we observe that the wisest men give hint about two hours start, and let their wives accumulate health and wisdom. A hotel in Kansas has the following notice displayed iu tbe bedrooms: "Gentlemen wisbiug to commit suicide will please take the centre of the room, to avoid staining tho bed linen, wallr, and furniture with blood."
