his course in the night season with as mirth
• Safety, nearly, as he does in the day time.
Then rarely was the milor blest with the
sight of a light; mid it was the custom of
those who lived by the sea side, when the
might was unusually dark or stormy, to put
bright light in th• it window facing the,
sios, in case any vessel should be passing.
Where now the revolving, the colored, and
the double•lights are seen, directing the
mariner which way lies his course, and
wanting. him of dangerous rock's and sunken

forth their feeble rays,

,James Richards lived on Cape ' •
.* *.
L ,
„
heuse, a neat one-story building, was
:situated on the furthermost part of the cape
Entrants the sea. He was an old sailor, and
had followed the sea until he was threescore
years of age, when he bought this spot and
beat a he!tse- It was a dangerous part of
the coast, and this was One great reason, he
stud. Why he settled there; 'for he meant to
keep a bright light burning in a dark night i
to light his brother , tars on their way.'
And so he did, while he lived, insomuch
that 'Richards'. light' was proverbial for
being the brightest and the most constant
P 1 aoy along shore. Another reason why
`he liked the place was, he had a) long, • he
apid,heen psed to the roar of tho sea, that
he Wait like a child who Could not sleep
unless" its accustomed lullaby woe sounded
in 'its ears; and hero the sea kept up a per
petual roar. It was never so calm that the
Surf did not give eht its Sullen echo. But
when the storm had stirred up the deep,
and the wind came from the seaward, then
did the lashing of the waves against the
"Oche come like full thunder to your ears. .
And then would the look of anxiety be visi
ble upon the features of the old sailor, as
he sat in his chair listening to the dash of
the spfay, forced 'l:ist the high winds hard
against the side of his dwelling; rind then too
would the Well-trimmed lamp send from his
wimlow Be brightest rays, which, if they
benefitted ro one,. allowed the benevolence
sled good heart of the old man.
Richards' family consisted of himself,
wife, apd two sons, the eldest thirty and the
yeungest twenty-five years of age. 'And
smart active boys they are too,' the old man
would say, 'as any about these parts. Show
me one stronger at the oar than John, or
iricker.at the line than Samuel—for catch. i
tag tish rit put them larQb . oys agin any tie I
ce_ll4 .l ean.,produce; and_ for cleaning 'em,
Sam Stebbins is no touch to them!' ln
truth this was not, all a parent's boast; for
John and Sam Richards were noted from •
•*,e•*lsland• to Cape * * * *, for being '
the,onvirtent hands at an oar or a line of any
hit„thatoeighborhood, and that was no mean
praise in those days.
The, afternoon of the day on which our
story opens had been very lowery, and ap.
pearances betokened a tempest. The two
young men had been absent about a week
on it fishing cruise, They over° therefore
anxiously looked fro all the 'afternoon by
their parents, more especially as they had
outataid their usual time of absence. As
the day wore away, and the appearances of
a 'storm increased, the mother's fears arose
proportionally; although the father was too
much of a sailor to be flights:flied, as he ex.
pressed himself, at a black cloud. However,
as the : day drew near its close, and the wind
began to increase, the. old man became un
easy, and his eye was directed seaward
oftener than usual. The sun went down
kindly. in the west, and large waves began
to heave. in with their feathery tops. The
old man left the house, and proceeded to the
shore. There was a smooth sandy cove,
which made a snug little harbor; but save

rather than anger, was predominant- Dark
ness se►lled down on earth and ocean, still
nothing met the eyes of the anxious watch
ersf but the dark green waves rolled turbidly
to the shore with a sullen fearful murmur.
The wind blew furiously, and the rain came
with a heavy plash to the earth. The light
had been put to the window of the cottage,
and tha solemn 1 6nd .have the seamen in
keeping,' said by Mrs Richards, vet nei
ther husband nor wife had said a word to
each other about the peril of their absent
sons. They seemed to hold back with fear
from speaking of them as in danger. and
wondered only at their long star, and hoped
they would soon come. As the hour grew
late, and the heavy gusts of wind swept by;
and Mr. Richards had been once or twice
to the shore without seeing any signs of
their approach, their anxiety became too
great for silence, and impassioned prayers
were put up by the ;gather fur her sons'
safety; while the Gather, in a voice slightly
trembling, tried to comfort her by saying.
'fear not, wife, the boys are strong, and a
better sea boat never swam; they are well
acquainted with the coast, Resides, Goa
wilt have.them in his keeping, and will not
leave us childless in our old age. Cheer
up, and put your trust in Him at whose bid.
ding, ;peace, be still,' the waves cannot
harm.'
Ten o'clock came and wet.t by. The
boys came not. The storm was at its height.
After walking the room a while, Mr. Rich
ards ()eked his wife to prepare a lantern.
em going,' said he, in answerto his wife's
inquiries, 'ter kindle a fire on Broadsione, if
possible. Keep a good heart, trust in God,
and all will yet be well.' So saying, he left
the house., It was but a short time before
he had a bright fire kindled on Broadstone,
which•threw its light far on to the troubled
waters. 'Pray God the young"Sters may
see it,' the old man muttered to himself, as
he `reaped on the brush. He will not leave
me desolate in my old age! Take me, Fe.
ther Almighty,' dropping on his !mess and
raising his arms on high Ina prayerful atti
tude, 'rake rae, but spirre my children! Take •
me, who am• nothing worth, a worn out
hulk, but spare the boys to comfort awl
sopport• their aged mother.' A hand this
moment was laid on his shoulder, and a
trembling voice said hastily:
'James, hts will, not ours, be done.'
'Wife, how came you here? You should
not be out in this tempest'—
'Hark! there it ia again; I was mire I
heard it.'
'Heard what?' said her husband in aster).
aliment.
'Hark! listen!' said the woman, pointing
her arm seaward.
Here was a scene for a fine painter. By
the fitful glare - of the fire. now blazing high
in the air, and now quivering low to the
earth, as the wind lulled and increased, the
old man might be seen with his head bent,
and his body placed in that attitude which
denotes the senses of the man entirely fixed
on one object. His wife stood beside him,
with one arm resting on his shoulder and
the other stretched towards the tdrbulent
sea, dashing and foaming around, and her
whole appearance exhibiting the same in-
tense attention. Her head being bare, her
long gray hair hung, loose about her neck
and gave lies an air of peculiar wildness.
It was but a moment when a bright flash
was seen, and a faint report was borne on
the breeze from seaward. •
*They ore coming! the boys ore coming!'
burst simultaneously from the aged pair.
'They see the light,' suid the wire hurried
ly; 'let us hoop on more wood, James, praise
God.'
_ .
• We haveyeason to praise Him, wife. ne 1
nny He who protected them thus far restore
them to us in snfetv.
'He will, He will,' said the agitated .wife,
as she heaped large quantities of brush on
to the fire. As the flumes shot up in the
air, and were curled about by the wind, the
old man and his wife seated themselves to
await the approaching vessel, that contained
all that was 'dear to them. Their eyes
were strained towards the cave, in hopes of
seeing her in that direction; but happening
to turn their eyes, they saw the little. schoo
ner dashing over the waveti‘ right towards
the rocky part of the cape. They both ut
wed a cry of horror. Death, inevitable
death, seemed the doom of those on board.
On she came, now. rising high on a tower
ing wave, fluttering on its top like a fright
ened bird--and now plunging down in the
gulf of 'foaming waters; as if to destruc.
tion—then slowly rising again, still strug- -
Wing towards the rocks. The aged pair
stood for a moment like statues, gazing on
the scene before theirs, until the little bark
shot into the shade made by the cliff, and
was lost to sight. Instead of running fran
tically atfnut, 'accomplishing nothing, as to
too often the case in scenes of alarm and
danger, the 'old sailor' was put on. ' Bid
ding his wife advance to the edge of the
cliff with the lantern, Mr. Richards, with
the speed of ono some two score years'
younger, went to the houEie, procured a coil
of rope and a fishing !the, and was bark to
the chlf nearly as soon as liis wife. At'this
place the cliff' rose forty feet, perhaps, above
the level of the sea. About two-thirds of
the way . down, 'or mere, was a shelf, pro
jecting out three or four feet. • It was here
the boat came ashore.
‘Husband,' said Mrs. R. wringing her
hands in agony, ' what shall be done—what
can'be done? Father in Heaven, coUtdst
thottnot have spared than to es?
Veace, wile, peace! wouldst thou chide

me; it . is no place to be woniunish here.
Now, wife, pitch . .your voice . to its, shrillest
tone, above that of the wind, and see if the
poor boys are alive to make.answer.' '
The woman did as she was bid, and bend.
over the cliff, screamed in a high sharp
tone, 6.1.1m1 Samuel! my children!'
Her voice rang shrill" above the dash or
Cie waves and:the blasts of the gale. -

fearfully over the edge of Om cliff , The

cond it was lowered down, •swayed to and
fro by the wind. John was not long in pos.
Reusing himself of it. But what was the
old man's horror when he saw his son cast
off his jacket, end grasping the end of -the
rope, walk to the end of the shelf, as if to
I jump into the waters that foamed at his feet.
What is hedging? he is leaping into the
seal Merciful parentl—boy, boy, will you
leave me childless in my old age!' shouted
he, in a voice hoarse with emotion as he saw
his son dive into the sea. He stood trans.
fixed with horror. In a few minutes, how.
ever, John appeared on the shelf and made
signs for those !dime to pull the rope. The
old mnn commenced, givi ig directions t
his wife to watch the motions of John. He
soon made signs to stop hauling, and thou
was seen to lift the apparently lifeleQs body
of his brother on the shelf. After examin
ing the rope, I e made signs for them to hoist
again. It was a sad sight to witness that
old man, by the uncertain light of the fire,
the rain beating upon his gray head, strain.

son from the dark depths below; and when

my son, would to God I cMild have died for

-beating down upon her uncovered head, and
flinging her gray and tangled tresses wildly
to the air.
The old men's attention was now directed
towards rescuing his other son, who was in
imininenidanger, as the tide was setting in,
and ere long would probably wash him on;
the force of the, wind having raised it to
more than its usual height. He male fast
the rope to a neighboring tree, and bending
over the din, gave directions to his son to
avoid the sharp reeks that jutted out, as lie
attempted the perilous ascent, steadying the
rope and encouraging him.
'Father, your hand,' said John, breathing
thickly, lifting his arm to the edge of the
clitl; well nigh exhausted. At the moment
he uttered these words, the rope, which
had worn against the sharp rocks, parted,
leaving him dangling over the horrid death
below, holding by one hand to the edge of
the cliff, and by the other to the tired arm
of his natter.
'Wife! wife!' shouted the old man, in a
voice hoarse with agony, 'leave the dead,
and attend to the living!' His wife was so
absorbed in grief that she paid no attention.
'Women!' shouted he in a voice of despair,'
'will ye) sacrifice the living to the dead?
Will ye see your first born perish? Quickly,

Lion brings on pains or derangement in the or.
gans or pall where such impurity of blood setae*.
ITT is true a variety orcnusee may bring about
this state of the •blood—sncli as a violent
bruise or lull, damp loot, indigestion, pain in the
head, &c.—and although it may be said that
those diseases have not their origin in impurity
of the hlood, yet the effect is the same—they all
end in impurity of the blood and our only object
to prevent the irritating influences being kept
up is continually to purge the body, as long as
any unpleamint symptoms remain, with
Dr. BRAN BR ETU'S VEGETABLE .
UNIVERSAL PILLS,
which, if persevered with in sufficient quantities
to produce copious evtioutione, will asaist. nature
to restore every organ to a state of health. This
is on the principle ofdraining. We drain a mar.
shy piece of land, and from a state of sterility
soon produce a most abundant fertility, and so
it is with the human body. When any thing is
the matter 'ith it, we have only. occasion to
drain it by purgation, and. experience has taught
those who have adopted this reasonable practice,
[because consistent with our nature.] that they
have acted rightly, the result having been sound
health. About ton. thousand persons can bo re.
ferred to in New York city ; and nearly the same
number in Philadelphia, who have been cured,
when every other means had become unavailing,
of diseases which appeared of the most opposite
character, and whole to all appearance. no human
means could save life, have patients, by the use
of those Pills, been restored to perfect health, the
devouring disease having been perfectly eradicat
ed.
NOTICE.—Owing to the numerous attempts
of Drugists, to destroy tin, fame of Doctor Bran.

counterfeit, instead of the genuine article, the
Public aro cautioned against purchasing said Pills
of any person, except the appointed agents, but
especially to avoid Drug stores; as they are never
in any case appointed as agents; and it is in their
hands the spurious Pills aro usually found.
The following are the appointed agents for this
vicinity, for list of agents of other counties see

marks; not from the certificates of unknown' per. •
sons, but from our own knowledge ofeoveral im
portant cures effected by his inedininS,which have
ereated d genoral astonishment. The most impor.
tent one is that of Miss E. Rohr, the daughter of
our worthy Post. master, who, after years of suf
fering, has been relieved solely by the use of Mr.
O'Neill's medicine—the Medical Faculty having
tried every thing in vain. Those are Miss Rohr's
own statements. The high reputation of Mr.
O'Neill's endorsors Justify us in saying that their
statements merit universal credence.
