The Cbesipeake Bay Pilot's Story of

"Now, Pilot, tell us something awful;",

tchooner was an awful one too. Let me ;
fee, it was four years ago last March, as J
we were cruising off the Capes, having j
run out of Hampton roads, just after i
hard blow from the eastward was over, and j

poor fellow had stood alone on a wreck 1
when a vessel has passed in plain bight,

think of this, for what is the satisfaction (
of a few hours shorter passage to that of
rescuing a fellow creature, or of having
Lad the will to do so, from a miserable
death.' Yes, a man who, from such mo
tives Las boarded a wreck, even should it
prove that there was no one on board cf
bcr, can fill away bis maintopsail again
with a feeling of greater satisfaction with
lrhnseif for having done Lis duty than if
he whole world bad congratulated Lim
upon Having made the shortest passage or

hung on by the floor timbers, and told his ,

" Put ynur hand through," he said to
one of us, "and let me kiss it When you I

indeed, lest our canoe should be swallowed
up in the vortex of the sinking vessel ;
and with feelings to which nothing of
wretchedness can compare, we shoved off
to our pilot boat.
In a moment the wreck went down, and
thc last vestige of those it contained was

owing to the serious depredations, ot the

however, will not have an opportunity to
work much mischief in the granary, as
the Doctor follows the wise suggestion of
threshing out his grain and disposing of
it at once, and in turn buying his flour.

Preserving Fruits without Sugar.
At the X. Y. State Fair at r.ochester,
List fall, there were exhibited thirteen
. bottles of frnits so preserved by 1?m. K.
Smith, of Wayne county, -fix: five of
cherries, two of peaches, one of straw
berries, three of different varieties of eur
rants, one of blackberries, and one of
plums. They were examined by a com
mittee, and found of fine flavor; and the
committee expressed the opinion that the
art of preserving fruit in this manner is
practicable and valuable, and that the
fruit, when carefully put up, can be made
to keep as long as may be desirable.
The method of preserving them is thus
given to the New York State Society by
Mr. fcmith. They are preserved by
placing the bottles, filled with the fruit.
in eold water, and raising the tcmperaturo
to the boiling point as quickly as possible ;
some varieties or fruit will not fill th
bottle with thatnwn juice. These must
be Til led with" boiling water and corked a
ftfjre mentioned, after the surrounding
water boils.
