THE P
, ,
Fifty years ago a terrible „s ,rm shook
the city of London.; At the iad of the
night; wlieu the storm was at i highest,
an agedinibter living in the t '3urbs of
the city, as arousedd by an eitilst cry
for help window from his winw he

beheld a rude mitt, clad in the coarse

lin a,few moments then .the. ; rain came
down in orreats, and the storm howy

That very day as strange, old man hadi,

A glio meting light stood on a broken

It was the form of a strong man, grown

There was a face:you might look,upon

Bat another flag than that waved when I
was a child. And listen, old man, were
I tal ; pass the streets as I passed them
when a child, the babes in their cradles
would raise their tiny hands to curse me.
The.gravcs in yonder churchyard would
would shrink from my footsteps, and
yonder flag would rain a baptism of blood
upon my heart."
That was an awful death bed ! The
minister had watched- the "last night"
with a hundred convicts in their cells,
and yet -never beheld a scene so terrible
as this.
Suddenly the dying man arose. He
tottered •along the floor, with those white
fingers, whose nails are blue with the
death chill, he threw open the valise.
He shOw.td a , military coat trimmed with
sliver, an old parchinent, and a piece of
cloth, that looked like the wreck of a
battleflag. •
"Look ye, priest, this faded coat is
spotted with my blood!" he cried, as old
memories seemed stirring at his heart.
"This is the coat that I wore when II
planted the Mars On Ticonderoga. That
bullet hole was pierced at the fight of
Quebec,--now I am a—let me whisper
in your ear."
;' , .Now help me, priest," he said to a
voice growing suddenly tremulous, ,thetp
me to put on this coat of blue and silver.
For .you see," and a ghastly smile came
over his face, "there is no one to wipe
the cold drops from my brow ; no wife,
no child—l - must meet death alone; but
I will meet; him as I -met him in battle,
without fear."
• While he stood arraying himself in
that worm eaten coat of blue and silver,
the good preach'sr spoke to him of faith
in Jesus. Yes, of that great faith that
pierces the clouds of human guilt, and
rolls them back from , tho face of God.
"Faith 1" echoed the strange man, who
stood there erect with the death light io
his eye, 'faith can't , give me back my
honk I Look ye, priest, there, over the
wades sits George Washington, telling his
comrades the pleasant story of the eight
years' war—there, in 'his royal hall, sits
George of England, bewailing in his idi

here am I—l, who was first to raise the
flac , of freedom the first to strike the blow
n
against that king--here am I, dying like

STORY OP A FIAT.-i—There was a start
ling development,
,a i t Mount Holyoke
Seminary, not' long since. One of the
young ladies had just returned from a
visit to the outside world, and soon after
vigilant teacher located into her room
and di'soovered a gentleman's hat there.
Another teacher. alsol satisged Imrself of
the existance of the alarming object, and
the pupil was forthwith summoned to the
hall of judgment. was a most delicate
subject of inquiry, and the point of attack
was onl3 reached by gradual and zigzag
approaches. The pupil, who manifested
her depravity by half concealed merri
ment, and showed no disposition peni
tently to unbosom herself, was at last
brought up with a plumii question as to
the hat in the room.l There was a mo
ment of painfully anxious suspense, fol
lowed by a sudden .collapse, when the
offender confessed 'th a t she had brought
in - orie of her father's 'old hats to cut up
for rolls for her hair.- She was pronunoed
excused, and then there was great fun in
the halls, as the story circulated.
LOST i3TS Wm —A gentleman while
taking a drive through one of our country
towns, accompanied by his Irish servant
had the misfortune to have his vehicle
smashed, and himself and companion
thrown violently to the grdund, by his
horse taking fright running away.
The gentleman was solnewhat bruised,but
not seriously. His principal loss was
that of his wig which, had been shaken
off, and on picking himself up, he found

and horror.

"Hurt, mit ? •Ah, l master, dear, don't

Pat, in his terror ,and confusion, had

WHAT MAKES A LADY.—When Beau
Brummel was asked What made a gentle.
man, his quick reply wai, "Starch, starch,
my lord !' This may be true; but it
takes a great deal mo i re to make a lady:
and though it may to some seem singular,
I am ready to maintain that no conceiv
able quantity of -muslin, silk or . satin,
edging, frilling, hooping, flouncion , b or
furbelowing,can per se', or per dressmaker,
constitute a real lady.
Was not Mrs. Abbott i Lawrence just
as much of a lady when attired in twelve
cent calico, in Bost* . as whea arrayed
io full court dress at St. James, London ?
"As Mrs'. Washington was said to be so
grand.a lady," sayi a Celebrated English
visitor, (Mrs. Thorpe') "we thought we
must put on our best.lbibs and bands, so
we dressed ourselves in our most elegant
ruffles, and were -introduced to her lady
ship, and don't you think we found her
knitting, and with her check apron on !
She received us very graciously and easi
ly, but after the compliments were over,
she resumed her knitting. There we
were without a stitch 'of work and sitting
in state, but Gep. Washington's lady,
with her own hands, was knitting stock
ings for her husband.". Does not that
sweet republican simplicity command
your admiration ?

Forty burs ._ the "Old Beaver" India
man, home w ard bound from Canton had
been lying there off the Cape of Gooii
Hope—hull i s o—every yard of canvas
close, furled and mired in double gask
ets. . -
The ship bad bee hauled to under bare
poles, at noon on Sat ',ldav, and ..it was
eight bells in the fir st. forenoon watch,
Monday morning. Fort hours of as fair
a wind as ever blew was d! But we•
could do no better. 1 The of st sailors in
the ship' said: they ha& neve seen the
seas run so high and break, so uriouslY.
Kept off on her course, under all the'can
vaa we could show, the ship would\have
foundered in an hour. Hove to as \she
was, She lay as comfortable as she woill•
have ,done in her berth at the foot of `Val,
street, though not so quietly perhaps. • II
She was rolling tremendously,but theia
that was nothing new for the Old Beaver
She always'rolled in any weather. 01
Charley Latham swore thaii a man mith6
just as well be the snapper on the end of
a coach whip ithree miles long as a man on
the Beaver's royal yarde, and she going
anywise free.
All our quarter deck people and pas
sen,Ters were ti till below at breakfast when
one bellwas struck, and.just then I saw
Charley Bognet, an active young sailor
lounging in the starboard watch, .spring
up into the larboard forprigging, and be
gan to climb aloft. It was a daring act
and a.very dificult one too, for the
. ithip
so rolled and slat, that sometimes Charley
would be'pinned to the rigging,unable to
move hand or foot. Then watching his
chance, he would go up a dozen ratlines
like a monkey..
Looking aloft to see what was taking
CharleY up without orders, I discovered
the bort yardarm of the e foreroyal adrift,
and the sail slatting like mad. That was
what Charley was after, to secure that
sail. ,
I was at that time a lad ten years old,
and could climb whereOr the best sailor
in the ship dared to go. IBut I remember
how I trembled and shuddered that morn
ing, as grasping my father's trumpet I
screamed with my might of lungs :
"Charley, ahoy eew ! Come dowif, sir!
I say, you Charley ! get down out of that!
• I might as well have bawled at the gale
to hush and be quiet. for Uot a word did
Charley hear; and if he had, he would
net have heedid me an atbm.
the master, 74are
He gained the royal Jard and laid him
self ont on it just a,4 ill father the chief
mate and several of
,tie gentlemen pas
sengers, almimed by my yelli, came hur
rying on deck. .
Charley secured the snit, and watching
the starboard roll, flung himse l lf in along
the yard, and caught hold of the royal
rigina , with his hands But the ship
brought up- with a sudded jerk, and slat
back'to port so quiek that the man failed
to get a hold with hiti feet, and when the
ship was down, rail to,:.en that aide, he
stuck right out straight, at a right angle
with the royal mast, clinging to the rig
ging with' his hands onley. The next surge
of the ship to 'the starboard slat him in
againetthe spar with a violence that it
seemed must have stunned him and broke
his.hohLentirely. •
My father, though for thirty years
commanding a ship, had no.(other oath
fhan "by hemp Fr that he evetq l swore by,
and that morning, ten times, when Char
ley swung out at rik,lit angles from the
royal 'rigging hanging •on.his hands, my
father would exclaim :
"There, by hemp 1 he's gope."
Then as the next roll of, the ship would
dash the poor fellow in against the mast
my fithei would clap his hands and cry
out :1
"No, he sticksyet 1" •
But Charley, theughl he had been a
monkey, could not have clung there long.
His desperate grip was at length broken,
just as tho ship was on even keel, and
endlong, whirled over, and over, down t he
came, checked somewhat, first by some of
the fine topsail gear, then striking the
bitatlof the fore course, and from thence
fallino , upon the port anchor, twisted and
doubled up, a quivering mass; having
scarcely the semblance of humanity.
•"Mr: Montgomery," my father said to,
the - chief mate, after we had all stood for
ten minutes. I think,.lgazing • upon the
sieletiing; spectacle, "there will be a ham
mock; and a slupg shot for poor Charley
at noon." ,
, There was a convulsive movement of
the mangled mass,,a 'nervous clutching of
the hands, the gory head twisted itself
out from under the shattered thigh, and
bubling with blood, the lips cut, and hid
eous, muttered distinctly : .
.-"Avast there, Capt'n—l'll live to , see
you launched over the side yet l"
No one had dreamed of there being life'
in' the man, but th i ere was, years of it,
horribly as he was crushed.
We had, among our passengers a skill
ful sUrgeon, who took Charley in hand,
