She was a fine, fast little ship of four hun dred and fifty tons, and bound from -Shan ghai to London, with a cargo of teas and silk. A Clyde-built ship, called the " Planet," a great favorite in the trade, completed her loading at the same time that we did, so we sailed together and passed through the Straits of Sunda in company. Now, you must know, that to bring the first of the season's teas into market, was then, and is now, a very great object; and of course there it considerable rivalry among the first ships loaded. Moreover, part of our cargo was on account of the owner of the ship, which made Captain Harrison doubly anxious to make a rapid passage. I do not know whether he understood he was to receive a present in case the Dryad" should be the first ship into London, though that is likely enough ; hut I do 'know that he had made a bet of five-and-twenty pounds with the captain of the " Planet," for I heard the bet made ono day when old San &lands was taking tiffin on board our ship. Well, we parted company off Java Head, and you may depend that there was not much rest for the officers and crow of either ship from that time forward,—at least, a . know that there was none on board our ship. Our skipper carried on her very hard, day and night the same : indeed, ho would boon at all hours of the night, not that he need have boon afraid of either of tho mates tak ing in canvas before they were absolutely compelled ; for though they wore perhaps not so much concerned personally in the mattor of a smart passage as ho was, yet they seemed to consider it for the credit of the ship that Ehe should boat the 4 ‘ Planet," and carried sail as hard as was safe, an oc casionally a good deal harder than was pleasant. A pretty general average they made among my crockery, to bo sure, when we had somo tolerably heavy'weather com ing around the Cape. However, we weath ered it handsomely, for a stun'sail boom or two, and a split topgallant sail don't count for much when a ship is bound to make a fast run, and in 270 south wo were going free at a groat rate with a fine fresh breeze. on the quarter, and tho skipper and' mates where in high glee; for they made certain we were beating the "Planet"; though, not having soon that ship since leaving Java Head, it was impossible for any ono to know anything for certain aboutthe matter. However, thoro was no mistake about the" fMr wind, and the " Dr3rad" walked' along in gietlt style, bowling off her ton and eleven knots an hour, when ono evening wherr were totting somewhere to about .260' south latitude, Ono of our yongsters; who Was up in the main-top, stowing away a sttin;Sail, sung out, "'Sail ho l" ' " WhiSre away ?" called out Captain Harrison and our chtef mate both together: You v bee they fended that it Might - ,be the g<EltinoV AirOia " Bleat' abeam of ue Us leeward; sir I" an. swered the lad. • • ' "What do yon" make her out: to, again Unlig - out tho captain.

THE STEWARD'S STORY Carlisle, Pa., Friday, July p 7, 1866, You see, at the rate we. wore going, we were dropping her fast. At this intelligence Captain Harrison looked very / much dis turbed and annoyed, and walked the dock for a minute or two, without speaking. Then he called down to the companion-hatch for me to bring his glass, which I did pretty quickly, for; to tell the truth, I was stand ing with it in my hand at the foot of the stairs, listening to what was going on. NOW, I heard what Monsell had said when he hail ed from the maintop; lib when I came on deck I looked; over the quarter. Theie. sure, enough, I picked her out at once with my naked eye, not very plain, to be sure, but plain enough to see that she was a large ship, very deep rolling heavily. She seemed to have a main-royal or mizzen-top-gallant sail set on a jury-mast rigged forward. As I could make out all this, you may imagine I was much astonishCd by hearing the cap tain say to the first mate, "I can't see her, Mr. Gilbert; I think it must bo Monsell's fancy I" When ho said this I looked round, and was surprised to see that ho had his glass di rected to a point or so abaft the beam. No wonder, he didn't see her, for the " Dryad" had not been idle all this time, And we were leaving the wreck well astern ; the breeze, too, was freshening into a smart capful of wind. Upon hearing the skipper's remark, our first mate said,— "Bring me up my night-glass, will you, Stedman ?" "And get supper ready, Stedman," added the captain, in a way that sounded like, " What are you doing on deck, when you are not wanted ?" Of course I took the hint, but what with going between the cabin and the galley, and listening at the foot of the companion, I heard and saw all that passed. Mr. Gilbert took the glass, and, walking right aft, looked ovor the taffrnil n, little to leeward. Pres ently he said,— " I see her quite distinctly, sir,—a heavy ship, from Bombay or Calcutta, most likely ; rolling very deep, sprung a bad leak, I should say, sir ; should'nt wonder if one of her masts when they went overboard had started a .butt." All this Mr. Gilbert said without remov ing the glass from his eye. "She's abandoned, I suppose, Mr. Gil bert," said the captain, in a toae.which ho tried to make unconcerned, amd without looking in the direction of the wreck. " Well, no, sir, I should say not," replied the mate decidedly as he turned round and looked at his superior with some surprise. "I should say that there were some hands on board of her, if not all the crew ; they have rigged that jury-mast with that rag of sail forward, and they manage to keep her before the wind pretty well, considering." " Ah; well, Mr. Gilbert, she'll do all right enough ; she has a fair wind for St. Helena, and she can fetch that easily, I dare say, - if the worst comes to the worst ; besides she is in the regular track of the homeward-bound ers, and some ship or other will be sure to pick her up. Whether or no, I can put the ship's head round now and beat up to wind ward to her for three or four hours, and then find, after all, that she does not require our assistance. Perhaps the 'Planet' may fall in with her to-morrow or next day,—ha I ba 1" This he saidwith a forced laugh, but nei ther of the mates seemed disposed to join him in its merriment. On the contrary, they both looked very gloomy, and I can't say that I thought it a subject to be joked about, nor, I dare say, did the crew. Indeed our captain's behavior surprised me a good deal ; for though he was generally considered a taut hand, and very strict in his noticing of duty and discipline, no one on board had ever regarded him as a cruel or bad-hearted man. But, you understand, the Devil was at his elbowin two or three shapes. He was attr_inm, to bring in the first cargo of tea,— he was anxious to 'do Woll for Aviz uiv he Look a pride in the fast passage his ship was making, and then there was Ids con founded pet with Captain Sandilands, of the " Planet." But it is not for me to judge him, and, what's more, no one on board, officers or men, presumed to express their opinion, whatever they may have thought; only I heard Mr. Gilbert, who went into his cabin shortly after eight bolls had struck, mute taxing something to himself about, "a nic entry to make in the logbook !" It was the second mate's watch from eight to twelve, but captain Harrison remained walking the deck; and when I went up to him and an nounced that supper was ready, he sent Mr. Monsell down, saying that ho would keep the watch in the mean time And when Monsell returned on deck, there he still re mained, silently pacing fore and aft, and oc casionally stopping to look over the taffrail. The moon rose at four bolls or thereaboets, and 'soon' afte:rwards I heard the skipper say,--- " Turn tho hands up, Mr. Monsoll,—in EittrlV-sails !" Upon this up jumped Mr. Gilbert with, "What is the old man up to now?" He was on deck pretty sharply, and I could hear him forward, singing out for his watch. Then it was,—"ln maintop-mast and t i op= gallant stun'siiils; fore top-mast and tower strin'sails ; and then single reefs in" the toP sails, Dire and aft" ; .Thon, "Hands by the braces 1" and as the holni was put hard to .Port, the fore-sheet was dragged aft; the fdre tack boarded, the yards were braced sharp up, and the Ship hauled to the wind as close as-she Would lay. .' ' • Theri we knoviWhat our'eaptain had been . thinking . about, While he had been pacing the deck so silently during' the last' trio'or three hours; and I; for one did'itt. 4invy'hitn 'his reflections. • What he could have done a few hours be fore, very easily, he" was going to do now ; 'when it would ,not, only be but 'Weiltteiniin great, lima of time into: 'ito Ay, and 'what was worse, it :wciuld 'probAbly be too late.. i'or When WO first 'sighted the vessel distress titere no , more than a fresh hreeze; arid..,iierY little sea; novitherd Was a considerablelen running and wind had - freshened„ so that; as We;_iforyed to windward', it was like:half a gale; and under the canvas" we were carrying, Our good 'ship h i eeled over to it handSoniely,afia . toid the toes ovi3r` har in great Nevortholoas 'wit did init'make or at loFt that wan our (*plata opinion, IPMEI for when we wore ship at six bells, ho .said to the first mate, " We will got the main sail on hor, Mr. Gilbert." "Upon my word, sir, she has got as much as she can stagger under, and I don't think she can bear it," replied tho mate; the first time I think that I ever hoard him offer a remonstrance. " Sho muse boar it, sir I" was the reply. " Semi the people aft to the mainsheet, and let some good bands tend the buntlines." " Well, when she had- got tho sheet aft and the tack down, I hoped he was satisfied. The ship certainly went faster through the water, and held d better wind, but she ca reened over, so that our lee chains were un der water, and she trembled all over as the seas struck and deluged her deck, fore and aft. Thus wo kept carrying on all night, wearing ship about every two hours or so, andinostiy with all hands on deck. The night wan tolerably bright, OXotipt when the heavy clouds drove across the face of the moon; but no ship did we see. At seven bells in the morning watch, the wind had risen so much that Captain Harrison very unwillingly gave orders to hand top sails, and haul up the mainsail. Under this shortened canvas we still kept beating to windward, and I know, by the constant, anxious look-out kept by the mates, that they calculated we wore some whore near the spot where the distressed ship was last seen ; but no, the day dawned, the sun rose, but the clear expanse all around us was unbro ken. The ship was gone! Without orders, Mr. Monson took his telescope up into the main-top-mast cross-trees, and there he stayed for a quarter of an hour or more.— When he came down, Captain Harrison asked him no questions. There was no need ; the grave look of his face told its own story. All that forenoon we kept stretching to windward, though every soul on board, not excepting the Captain, must have known that it was too late ; but about midday Cap tain Harrison said to the first mate (and his voice seemed hoarse and strangO), " You can put the helm up, 'Mr. Gilbert, square the yards, shako out the reefs, and keep her away on her course." With that he came down below, and went, without speaking, into the after-cabin. At first I did not venture to disturb him, but after waiting about a quarter of an hour I fancied that I heard him groan ; so, by way of an excuse for intruding upon him, I got him wino, and taking it into the cabin, asked him to take some, saying that I knew that he must feel in want of some refreshment. Ho was sitting with his elbows resting upon the li table, and his face hidden between his hands. When I spoke to him he looked up . and stared at me as if ho did not rightly under stand what I said, and then dropped his head between his hands again; so I laid the wine in the swinging tray and loft the cabin. Upon my life I pitied him. A man may make a mistake and rectify it,—ho may commit. rt.+ It. nud atone for it ; heat Captain Harrison's case was a terrible one. Jae nad left undone what ho ought to have done ; and in heating his ship to windward under a dangerous press of sail, we all had witnessed his desperate endeavors to set right what'he had left wrong ; but who can describe the depth of his sorrow, and the bitterness of his self-reproach, when he found that those efforts were made in vain ? Too late I Ah, it is a bitter word to say. Homeward sailed the " Dryad," with tol erable,weather and fair winds; and every thing on board went on pretty smoothly as before ; but the mates began to perceive some thing peculiar in the Captain's conduct. Ho was usually a very reserved and silent man, and after what had happened it was only natural to suppose that he should be less lively and talkative than usual; but now he scarcely ever spoke to any one. Ho never had been what is called, "a jolly skipper," that is, he never cared much about good - 'eating and drinking, but now ho would hardly taste food oftener than once in the twenty-four hours. And from a few slight expressions I heard let fall between the Officers, I concluded that they thought their superior was light-headed, or not quite right in his mind. They might easily consider so, for his conduct was certainly strange. Ho would be on deck all day, and great part of the night also, his glass always in his hand. This he • was constantly using, looking to windward, just as he did when wo wore working up to the apot'where wo considered the dismasted ship to be. This, at first, did not attract much attention, but when it be came his constant practice ffp day long, the officers—ay, and the mob; too—began •7to guess how it was. Indeed, Mr. Gilbert, to try him, ono day said to him, in a cheery sort of voice, "I don't think you .need look out for the Planet,' Captain Harrison.l Bless your life, sir, sho ; .basn't got 'fogs to travel with'ue!" "Planet?! what 'Planet' " asked the poor man, in a bewildered way. . It was not the "Planet" that he was look ing for ; it was the foundering ship, which should never see , harhor more,, that was con stantly floating before his diseased imagin'a tion.

But in the thick weather and strong westerly gales, there was noth ing for it, he considered, but giving thern a wide berth, and" intended to keep well to windward of Flores. And this, I presume, ho considered ho 'had succeeded in doing, for the night after I heard his conversation with Monsell, they both came down below ,fegether, to look at the chart.. • They had not much opportunity for tak ing observations, but I suppose Gilbert was satisfied that we had weathered the island, for after pricking off the ship on the chart, ho decided on altering her course two points or so, rounding in the weather braces, and shaking a reef out of the topsails. This al teration in our course made almost a fair wind for us, and as we had been hammering away for the last two or three days close hauled under short canvas in dirty weather, it was good news to all on board. But we ~ vetu tauter premature in our rejoicing. That very night, just as the first mate was turning in (for he had not been in his, berth during the last two nights, and now that his mihd was at ease ho resolved to have_ four hdlirs' sleep) the look-out on the forecastle shouted "Breakers ahead I" Mr. Gilbert was on deck in an instant, and gave his orders promptly and coolly. "Down with the helm, raise tacks and sheets I" But it was too late ; the only dif ference was, that the ship went crashing broadside on to the reef, instead of bows on. A choice of two evils with a vengeance. As she struck, the foremast went over the side at once, dragging with it the main-top-mast, and there lay the bonny "Drydd" almost on her beam ei.ds, smashing and tearing her self to pieces on a reef off the shore of the island which poor Gilbert had flattered him self he had weathered so cleverly. The ship continued beating very heavily, and the sea broke clean over her waist; but though there was not much shelter anywhere, the; quarter-deck was comparatively secure, and there we all, officers and men, betook ourselves. As she lay with her deck to wards the shore, she made a lee for us on that side, and that, so far, was a fortunate circumstance. To our surprise, the captain seemed to have completely recovered his senses ; he was perfectly cool and collected. lie blamed himself and no one else, for the loss of the ship, and consulted with the mates as to whether the cutters could swim in the sea that was running, and whether they would be sufficient to hold all the people. It was extremely doubtful whether they would do either one thing or the other ; but he order ed them to bo seen clear, all ready for low ering, 'and then said : "My lads, the ship will no doubt stick together until daybreak: if we can manage to hold on till then, - We' shall have a bettor chance of getting ashore; by that time, too, the weather may have moderated. It would be more dangerous to attempt to land now than it is to stay by the ship " He then ordered me to go down with the mates into the Caine, w our hands upon the blue-lights, also some cartridges for two small swivels, which we had on the taffraii. Moreover, he directed me to bring up some wine or spirits, to servo out to the crow. This I managed to effect with some difficulty : and very useful the allowance was to the wet and shivering men. We learned afterwards that our blue-lights and guns certainly gave notice to the people on the island of our whereabouts, but pro duced no other effect, nor, indeed, did we look for much assistance from shore. A dreary night wo passed, nor when day broke was the prospect much more inspirit ing ; lit . that•our commander's advice was good in urging the men not to take to the boats during the night was evident, as we could now perceive, what we should proba bly have missed in the dark, that there was a short stretch of sand and shingly beach, whore we might have some chance of run ning the boats ashore, and oven of saving our lives if they chanced to be rolled over in the heavy surf, which wo could not help considering was more likely than not. Be that as might happen, the trial was to be made ; and Captain Harrison Proceeded to tell off the crow of the first cutter, which ho placed under the charge of Mr. Mom.°ll. With him she would carry• twelve in all. This divided the crew and officers equally between the two boats, with the exception of the captain, who made one over the comple ment for the second cutter. This having been arranged, wo hovered away the boat, with two hands in her tend ing the falls, and, thanks to the shelter af forded by the position of the ship, we man aged pretty well, and got the people into-her without accident. But she swum very deep, even dangerously so. As long as she was under the leo of the wreck, this was'not matter of so inuckconsequence, but it was a l ticklish moment When ,they let go the pain ter; and.'put her head, round for the shore, We watched her progress for ami oor 'two, and then proceeded to lower the second cutter, the captain saying; "Now, Gilbett, it is your turn." The boat was successfully lowered, and :the hands liaised 'scifely over the side, leav= ing. Captain Harrison, Mr. Gilbert, and my, 'self. Then tbe oaptaia addressed the ,mate, and said, "Gilbert, I must bo the last : man' l on board, stop.; over tho' side: Stedinan, fetch me my glass ; it lies'in the companion hatch." „ I brought• it to him, and ho ordered me to :get into the , hoat:' As he folleived'ine to' ship's bnlivarlts; X, of ,cdurse, obeyed liirp,'neve'r dreaming of anything but that' he, would follow Mo. •But when ho saw: that ilias`dafe'tm 'board the boat, he called out, to the sure t pe'ef talc— ' • “ThirteeTis, an unlucky number, Gilbert; you.are , too deep tts. it is; and will do , better without me.

You see, although he was so cool in tak ing command when the ship struck, and in arranging for the safety of the men ; yet as soon as the first great excitement was over, his ideas whent back to their former channel. He had no care now for his wrecked ship, for his good men in extreme danger, or even for his own life, fast drawing to a close. No,—no; his thoughts were fifteen hundred miles away, with a deserted ship and a lost crow, whomtbe would have given his life to ) rescue, an for whom ho would look until his last ho r and look in vain I My stor is nearly told. The second mate manned to beach his boat very cleverly, and well for us in the second cutter that he did so ; for we were not An Inekir.Wham. within three bents' length of the shore, a heavy roller took the cutter under the counter and-.turned her over, sweeping us,-aloiratiwi4k the capsized boat, bruised and half-drowned. So that if Mon sell's crow and the people on shore had not been on the look-out for us, and ventured boldly into the surf to our assistance, we should inevitable have been carried hack by the returning sea, and, in our injured and helpless state, most probably have perished. But, thank God, we wore rescued, though not without some casualties. Among other trifles, Mr. Gilbert dislo cated his shoulder, and two of my ribs were broken. Indeed, the whole of us had suf fered more or less, and our boat lay on the beach, keel uppermost and useless for the present. The first cutter, however, was in pretty good order, and the mates consulted together on the possibility of reaching the wreck and bring off their commander, whether ho would or no. If they had con sider.a it at all fonaiblo, thojt oou/d inwu raised half a dozen volunteers in a minute; but it was too clearly a sheer impossiblity to launch any boat through the surf which was then breaking on the beach. We hoped, however, against our better judgement, that the " Dryad" would hold together until the weather moderated. In the mean while we were all kindly treated and cared for, and an account of our misfortune was to be conveyed to the British consul, at Fayal, as soon as -the weather would permit. I may as well mention here, that by that gentleman we were furnished t h needful supplies, and eventually sent home to England by a large steamer that called at Fayal. When the next morning dawned, how ever, our hopes as to the weather and the wreck were doomed to disappointment. The "Dryad" was gonel And what had been only thirty-six hours before a smart, well built ship was now nothing but a mass of smashed and twisted timber, driven about like straw by the breakers, and hove upon the beach. And there we found hint!

Wo dug his grave and laid him down with all decency and respect ; ay, with sorrowlng hearts too ; for to us he had always behitv?d as a good and just man; and if in the lamentable in stance I have related he had greatly erred, so also most bitterly he had repented. SLEEP AND DEATR.—As men begin to be about fifty years old, especially if of seden tary.,,babits, the feeling on rising in the morning is as if they have not gotten enough sleep, not as much as they uspd to have, and as if they would like to ha.pe but cannot get it. They look upon a healthy child sleeping soundly with a fooling of envy. But it is curious to observe that there is a bliss to all in the act of going to sleep, a bliss we become cognizant of only when we happen to be aroused just as we are falling into a sound sleep; and there are strong physiological reasons to suppose that this state is a counterpart of the great event that comes to all, the eat of dying. In fact, those who have, in rare cases, been brought back to life when on its extremest verge, and in several cases as tO lhose who have been recovered from drowning and other modes of stangulation, or, simple smoth ering the expressions have been, on coming to consciousness.

Rome has its snail market, as well as its fish and meat markets, and the historian says that in the most luxurious days of Rome the tables of the banqueting halls were graced with dishes of fattened caterpillar grubs of great luciousness. In Northern Africa wagon loads of locusts are brought into the cities to furnish their inhabitants with a very popu lar dish. They are preferred by the Moors to pigeons, who consider two or three him dred of them a moderate quantity for each person at the table. In other parts of Afri ca the white ants are the chosen luxuries for the table. They are parched in iron pots over a gentle fire, and then, without sauce, are served up as a delicious food. A distin guished traveler says that he has often par taken of this dish, and thinks it delicate, nourishing, and wholesome, resembling in taste sugared cream or almond paste. And why should we sneer at the African for din ing upon white ants ? The Arab is as much disgusted with our use of the oyster as we can be with his parched locusts. The China man dines on the chrysalis of the silk worm, and derides the Frenchman for his love of frog and snail soup. We glory in clam chowder, fried oysters, and roasted crabs, and profess a disgust for a distant people be cause their breakfast is made of roastedspid ers. How do we know but there may yet be found in the insect world greater luxuries for our tables than we have ever gathered from the treasures hid in the sands. Indeed, an eminent entomologist has pronounced, upon his own authority, the large grasshop poLtolie_excellent food ; but ho is in .451 ; are yet ready to imitate. But we have fol lowed that most daring man who first swal lowed an oyster, and we honor him, who over ho may be, as a benefactor of his race for having introduced us to such a luxury. LUCK AND LABOR.—Luck is ever waiting for something to turn up. Labor with keen eyes and strong wil, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed, and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy. Labor turns out a six o'clock, and with busy pen or ringing hammer, lays the found ation of a competence. Luck relies on chance. Labor, on character. Luck slips down to indigence, Labor strides upward and onward to in- dependence The every day experience of every obser vant man tells him that these are indispu table axioms, and hence the man who would succeed, should kick "luck" to the dogs, pull of his coal. roll up his sleeves and work.
