mg all that ne could to help wa Utile Jac
ques, a lad twelve years old, who was serv
ing as cabin-boy in the veseel. At times
we he disappeared tor a moment rjentn.i
the folds of a'sail, i he sailors thought he
fallen overboard ; and again, when a
wave threw him down on the deck, ihey
looked to see if it had not carried away the
poor boy with it ; but Jacques was soon op
again nnhort. .
'My mother,". said he, smiling te an old
aiIor,,"wouid be frightened enough if she j
saw mejoet now." j
His mother, who lived at Havre, was very j
poor and had a "large family. Jacques tov-
ed her tenderly, 'and , he was enjoying ihe
prospect of carrying lo her bin treasure i
two five-franc pieces which ha had earned
for his wages during the voyage.
The brig wa beaten about a -whole day
by the storm, and in spite of all tbe efforts
of the crew,; ihey could not steer clear of
the jocks on the oast. i5y the gloom oo ,

had but little hope of saving the ship. All
at once a violent shock was fell, accompan
ied by a horrible crash; tbe vessel bad
struck a rock. At this terrible moment the
passengers threw themselves on their knees
to pray.
'Lower the boats j" cried the captain
The sailors obeyed ; bot no sooner were (he
boats in tlie water than they were carried
away by ibe violence of the waves.
"We have bot one hope , of salaty," Baid
the captain. "One pi o? must be. brave
enough to rnn the risk of swimming with a
rope to the shore. We may fasten one end
to the mart of the vessel and tbe other to a
rock on the coast, and. by. this means we
may all get on shore " .
. "Bat captain,, it is impossible," said the
mate,"pointing to the surf breaking on the
to tbe shore with a string around' his body
to drav the cable after him ; he is obstinate
as a Male mole !" and he pushed Jacques j

"Nonsene ! such-a child can't go," said
the captain roughly..
But Jacqoes'was not of a character to be
easily discouraged. Captain," said he
timidly, "you don't wiari to ecpose the lives
of good sailor like these ; it does not matter
what becomes of a little, monkey of a cabin
boy, as the boatswain calls me. "Give me
a ball of s.rong tring which will unroll a I
get -n, fasien ona end around my body, and
I will promise yoa that within an hour the
rope will be well fastened 011 the fchore, or
I will perish in the attempt."
"Daesheknow how to swim?" asked
the captain .
"As swiftly and as easily as an eel," re
plied one of the crew.
: I could swim op the Seine from Havre
to Paris," said little Jacques. The captain
hesitaieJ, but the lives of all on board were
at stake and he yielded.
Jacques hasteneJ to prepare for his terri
ble undertaking. Then he turned and sott
ly approached the captain. "Captain,"
said he4 -as I may be lost may I ak you to
take charge of something lor me ?"
"Certainly," my boy," said the captain
who almost repented of having yielded to
his entreaties. j
"Uereihen, captain," replied Jacques

i Strange Tale.
A LEAF FROM THE LIFE OF A BUSINESS HAM IN
CHICAGO.
There now resides in the city of Chicago,
a gentleman well fcnown in business circles,
and whose paper is good on change for a
very respectable sum, whose lot it was io
the early portion of his career to reside in.
the city of New Orleans. This was many
years ago away back in the half decade
of 1830 to 1835. He had gone thither from
tku M iimiK nannilaai t aom
a livelihood
I I U C? 11VI IU V II U I I VD IV
for himself and tn pursuit of that fortune
r . . .
which all youg men hope to reach, but
which few ever attain. Shortly after his
arrival in ;the crescent city be fortnnately
succeeded in securing a position in an old,
antl well established mercantile house,
where by his industry and uniform truil
worthy conduct he secured the confidence
of his employers and rapid promotion up
through tbe several departments ol the
bouse to the counting room.
For the purposes ol this narrative we are
called upon to select a cognomen for the
gentleman before proceeding further. And
since this sketch is published without con
sultation w'uh him, we feel obliged to give
him a name other than that by which he
is known in the commercial walks of life,
and with the title of Mr. S our readers
must be satisfied.
Mr. S ' had been scarcrilv two 'years
engaged io discharging the duties of his
position in New Orleans when he became
enamored of a daughter of one of the mem
bers of the firm. Deeply engrossed as ha
was in the affairs of every day business
life, the tread of all absorbing trade failed
to crush out the gentler sentiments of his
heart, and the jingling of the dollars could
not drown the sweet music of interchanging
vowa of constancy and of plighted faith.
His affections were reciprocated, but though
"Barkis was willin" the parents were not.
With all the pride ol aristocracy, and con
tempt ol bcrest labor which formerly and
does still characterize the Mrealthy of the
South, they sneered at the loves of the
young couple, interposed objections, and
torbade intercourse between them.
As a natural consequence, clandestine
meetings were held and an elopement pro
jected aud consummated. The parties re
turned to New Orleaus one day man and
wile, but lo receive no "blessing or forgive
ness Irom the parents of the lady. Mr. S.
was dismissed Irom the service of the firm,
and for more than a mouth struggled Lard
to maintain himself and the wife now de
pendent upon his ezertior.s. His efforts
were not crowned by the most perfect sue-
and Mr. S. returned to his home in the
Epstein States.
Six m0nlhs after his arrival at ihe North,
received a New Orleans paper con-
taming tbe announcement ol tbe death ol
his wife and infant child. Attached to
,
them as be was, though compelled by ad-
. ,u k
vere circumiaces to leave them, he
.
mourned lor them sincerely and believed
.' , 1 . f ' i. i.
tilt in a vi . . & i j -J .'ii'i
. '
met with a ladv whose eood Qualities ol
... . . u ,
mind attracted him and whom he sc bee-
quer.tlv married, and with whom he lived
happy lor many years, raising a family of
sons, two of whom are lo day residents of
theri'y of Chicago.
in the natural coore of events, Mr. S.
removed lo the west many years ago and
became one of the seekers alter fortune,
opon what waa then considered almost the
frontier. Chicago was then but a small
a nd comparatively unknown town, though
the tide of emigration was beginning to set
rapidly in litis direction. He was shrewd
and speculative, and his former experience
had rendered him well qualified to turn to
advantage snch opportunities Sor the aggran
dizement of whatever ha possessed as came
in his way. He prospered in business and
year after year accumulated additions to ihe
gains of the previous )ear. Chicago and
:be great Northwest sprang from an insig
nificant village and a sparsely nettled coun
try to a great city and prosperous common
wealths. His own pecuniary advancement
was no less rapid, and from that time until
tbe present, his life was marked by no
more important eras than is tbe common
history of business men in (his community
and might be written of hundreds of others.
Some years ago his second wife died, es
teemed by her friends and wept and loved
by those to whom she was nearest and
dearest.
We will not say that during all this lapse
of years the mind of Mr. S. did ' not fre
quently revert lo the scenes of hfs earlier
days, and lo the strange vicissitudes through
which be bad passed. It would have been
wonderful indeed if he bad not pondered
.upon them, or often thought of the joys and
sorrows attendant upon his residence in
New .Orleans. He held no correspondence,
however, with any one resident there, and
accepted for truth ifce newspaper announce
ment of the death of -his former wife and
child. By it his entire life bad been chang
ed and turned from its original channel, be
himself seeking new associations,-new
scenes, and different avenues of - trade. - '
:' After the capture of tbe city of New Or
leans by. the Uniori fnrcesonr'riJr7,',',r,L
seized Mr. S. to revisit his old horse, and
look once more upon New Orleans. Thirty
years bad elapsed since his residence there
and the -occasion of his second visit. On
the second day after his arrival he discov
ered among the ladies of the St. Chariest
Hotel, one vrhon hj recognized as his for
mer wile. He immediately sought an inv
lerview with ber bat was refused, she re
turning the application by the no means
consoling information that she had no
interest in common with him, and no de
sire to look upon or speak with him. -The
succeeding day she had left the hotel
and he lost ajl trace of her. Mr. S. was
shortly atter taken severely ill and having
occasion to call in a physician, jndge of
hia surprise to learn from the conversation
which passed between them that the gray
haired medical attendant had been the ad
viser of the fami!) of his former wife, and
from him he learned tbe residence of the
lady. Prompted by feelings of curiosity
even if the old love had wholly died ort in
his heart, he again sought an interview and
was ai last successful.
The frtory of the lady was a strange one.
After the departure of Mr. S. Sor the North
ehe returned to her father's home, and to
the circles in society she had formerly fre
quented. Her father had purposely insert
ed in the paper the announcement of the
death of herself and child, and forwarded
it to Mr. S . that he might believe ihem for
ever lost to him. She passively wailed the
lapse of- time until a divorce was procured
on the around of abandonment, and a few
years alter entered opon her second mar
riage, in obedience to the wishes of her pa
rents. The son of Mr. S. and herself wes
then a colonel in the rebel army. She had
no desire to renew the intercourse with him,
and closed .the interview as soon as pos
sible. Mr. S. ddterir.ined if he could not have
the wife, at least to have the son. By pa
tient labor his discharge was procured
from the kervice of ftfferon Davis, and he
returned to the North with newly loond
father. A codicil was not long ago ap
pe tided to the will of Mr. S by the son re
ceives an equal share in that gentleman's
property opon the occasion of his death.
Mr. S. is again in ihe city of Chicago, and
again fills his accustomed place in business
circles. Yet few would suspicion that in
the life of this man. familiar to hundreds,
novel events had mingled and circurnstan
ces transpired, the like whereof we seldom
find save in the pages ol romance. Chica

Some years ago there was a bill introduc
ed in ihe Georgia Legislature lo lay a "tax
often dollars a year on all Jackases
Some appreciative members proposed to
amend it so as to include lawv ers and doc
tors. The amendment was accepted, and
amid.M much Jocularity, the bill passed.
Several efforts have since been maJe to re

Weldings Over tiic watick. It i very

will be astonished lo iearti that there the

time ago, a couple went from Penrheolger

groom walked off with the money which
ihe bride had given him to pay ihe r-ister
ami lost it playing pitch and toss with his
companions. The wedding had thus to be
put off till the next day, when the -young
woman kept a sharp lookout on her lord

Watcrig Window Plants. Mis Mai
iig, tne autboress of "Flowers for window
garden in Town and Country," thus writes:
There is one univer-ai law as to watering
plants which a great many people entirely
neglect. The neglect ol this ona rule
causes more blight and more unhealthy
plants than perhaps any single thing that
can be named besides. I mean the excel
lent rule of watering them with warm water,
always rather warmer than the soil the
plants are growi ng in. People must surely
see the check and injury it roust ba lo
plants lo gil cold food. Tha organs of
lender plants are extremely delicate ; and
when tbey are warned to digest their food
it is a bad plan surely to paralyze them with
cold. If we feed them, on iba other hand,
with food a li'te warm, they are stimulated
at once to make the most of their meal.

On the 27th of that month, and while tbe
tet-onu and third divisions were making a
reconnoUsance on tha left, General Miles,
commanding the first division, directed a
demonstration on the rebel fort in front of I
his line. Kellerman was selected, with
others, for the purpose. They charged
amid a heavy fire, and succeeded in driv

nnmber of prisoners with whom Keller
man was sent to the rear.- Having perform
ed ihis duty, he started back to rejoin bis
comrades. In the meantime the rebels had
rallied and our troops were compelled to
fall back. Kellerman in the darkness did
not observe this until r.ear the fort, when
he came upon the rebel picket line, which
had been e Mablished in his absence. For

to make bis escape dcring the night. Soon
