Bbon of dry Spanish wine, with the activity of Olaf

chitty beate taste, and will not discolor the teeth. It ex-,
rites languid appetite, gives zest to food, improves dt
ge,tion, increases the strength. steadies the circulation,
takes oft muscular flabbiness, removes the pallor of de
bility, gives firmness and precision to the actions of the
nervous system, with power to endure fatigue and ie•
sift disease. , MAGNETIO CITRATE. OF IRON is new and pe
culiar, differing from the ordinary* soluble, Citrate, in
containing an equivalent of Protoxide of Iron, biplane,
of the Ammonia. It is neutral, tasteless, without as
tringency, as prompt and energetic as the Chloride, and
unlike that, induces no local inflammatory action or
headache. Caliaaya .Ihok Is preeminent among vegeta

the storm, I could perceive alarge three
masted vessel about five hundred yards
from the shore; And once, as she heeled
over, and showed her'deck, 7 could see
that it Was erowdetilvith 'people.
'" God help them !"‘I muttered. -
Amen.V' said the old man ; • and just
then, away to our left, we saw the. life
boat carriage coming down at a trot,
drawnby two stout horses ; while a loud
"hum!"welcoMed its arrival—as ano
ther flash, and its" following heavy re
port, seemed to come from the doodled
vessel liken groan of pain in its hour of
sore distress.
" They'll never go out, to her;" said
the old man, shouting in my ear—for
after the lull, the storm came down with
redoubled fury, the wind shrieking and
howling east, cutting the crests of the
waves oft as it came tearing over the hill
of waters, and dashing the salt spray in
my face till it almost seemed to cut the
flesh; while at times the women who
had come "downwere completely- held
back. against the steep sand bank.
"ti There! look there!" cried the old
matt; suddenly seizing my arm. "Catch
ing at straws. • Why, there's a boat load
coming ashore, There, don't you see—
now aotop,o' that breaker ?" -
I . ,c,aught sight of a small boat crowd
edwith figures, and then there seemed
to be a tall wave curl over it, and I saw
it no more.
"Gone! said the old man ; " I knew
it would be so! Nothing could live in
such a storm."
" Let's go to the life-boat, and see if
they're going off," said I; but the old
man was intently gazing out to sea.
" There ; just a I said," ,he shouted
hoarsely, " just in the place. She has
struck."
And then, abOve the yelling of the
storm, we could hear a crash and a wild
shriek, that seems .to ring through me
nownpon a stormy night, wheii far in
' land I,listen to the howling wind.
."
It's now never!" said the 'old
nian,na he ran down towards where the
life-boat stood upon its carriage, with a
crowd of men and women around, the
Women hanging on to their husbands,
and apparently begging that they would
not dare the perils before them. '
The -sea had' looked -fearful enough
from where we stood before; but here,
as close as we dared go to the breakers,
it looked perfectly awful, while the at
tempt to launch a boat seemed absolute
madness. 'lt was evident that the men
thought so too, though, as we' came up,
one sturdy fellow shouted, " I'm ready,
mates, if you're goingi" a remark that
elicited no response, for every one stood
stolidly gazing out towards the doomed
Vessel. '
Just then, in the dull haze . seaward;
a blue light shone out over the water
like a dull atm. ; but still no one moved.
All at once, the old man by my side laid
hold of my Lain, and whispered :
" - Give me a lift, sir;" and before
knew hardly what his object was, he
had climbed by help into the boat.
" Now, then, you boys,", he shouted
wildly. " I can't stand this! Stand
aside, and let some of the old ones come
- • - " '• "
The spell was broken. Women were
hastily thrust aside, and a boat's crew
was soon ,made up, amidst the shrieking
and wailing of sweethearts and wives,
who ran about the beach wringing their
hands:"
"I-lurra. for old. Markal" shouted a
voice at my elbow, andthe crowd loudly
cheered the old num.,' Then oars were
shipped and all grade ready=, the old sail-'
or seizing the steering' oar as he stood
up iu his place with a life-belt on and
his hat blown off, looking nobler than
ever,
,
"Now, are you a ready Y" he pouted.
'" NO, no,"was the cry ; an in the
!hiish of - expectation, ' two 'men' rose in
the boat-dashed off their life-belts, and'
' amidst, half uttered -- groans :leaped. out
frail . ) their places and ,ran up the sands
tci the bank, where they disappeared:
• "Two morel"' shouted old Marks - ;
and Air a few: iliOinents, -so-dread was
the peril,-not a, soul , moved; then two
stout lads name_ rushing towards the
boat, pursued by an elderly man, a per
fect giant.
" Stop them !" he roared. -" Ye shan't
lads." •
-He came up to them by the boat. aide,
as they were climbing in, and endeav-
Orcd to stop their progress; hut in his
turn he was seized from behind by a
couple of men, and the two new corners
ivere in half a minute equipped - for the
dire struggle before them . , and in their
places.
"Let the go!" shrieked the man ; but
the others clung to him. As the signal
was given, the carriage • backed- down
into, position, the time accurately, cho
sen, and with a wild " hurrah !" heard
*above the storm, thelife7boaf 'was now
launched.
My attention had been so taken up
that I had ceased to look upon- the man
who was struggling to regain his liber
ty; hut just as the boat was leaving its
carriage, a bystander was driven vie-.
lentlY against me, and the moment after
I saw a figure dash across the interven
ing space, and seize the side• of the boat ;
and then_ came the roar ofthe storm
and the rush of spray, while, for a few
Minikes the life-boat was invisible.—
Then a short distance off she was seen
riding upon a wave, and then disap
pearing•agaiu into the dull haze, which
mingletd with the coming night soon
shut everything from our gaze but the
foaming water.
Over seventy, sir," shouted a voice
in reply to a query. , " Old man-o-lvar's
man. Been in many a'sterrn; but this
here's awful."
Awful it was ; for so wild a night had
not fallen upon that part of the coast
for niany years; and as the folks upon
the 'shore gazed in the direction the boat
had taken, they Shook their heads, and
shouted in each other's ears'
There was a long and awful pause,
only broken by the shrieking of the
wind, and then came a,. kind shout—
" Here she comes !" And in another
minute, obedient to their steersman, the
rowers timed their strokes to a second,
so that the boat, heavily laden, rode in
upon the summit of a giant wave so far
that twenty willing hands were at her
side, - and she was run right up the sands,
and fifteen shivering, half drowned fel
lOw creatures were lifted out and hur
ried up the shore.

Now, my lads," cried old Marks,
" on to the truck with her, and we're
off again." . .
The boat was soon mounted., and ev
ery man at his post, the father of the
two lads taking his place by the side of
the old coxswain ; for no amount - of per
suasion on either side could effect a
change.
There was another cheer,
rising above
the storm, and again the gallant crew
were launched into the surf, that seemed
to curl around the boat as though to 1 - 111
it in an instant. It rose and fell a dark
mass amid the white foam for an in
stant, and.then seerned-to plunge into a
bank of foggy blackness, for night had
fallen.
I could not drag myself away from
the stirring scenearound me, for I seem
ed held to the spot bra strange fascina
tion. All at Once a lurid light shot up,
for a quantity of straw Had been set on
fire, and the flames roared and crackled
as dry sea weed and pieces of wood were
heaped up to increase the glare, which
appeared to gild the crests of the waves,
and threw into bold relief the figures on
the sands—some gazing out to - sea, some
watching eagerly the fringe of breakers,
ready to rush down and secure anything
that might be washed ashore from the
wreck.
More straw was heaped upon the fire,
and the flames and sparks rushed in 4
land, as they rose with the mighty cur
rent of air, and darted across the sand
bank. Out seaward all seemed black
darkness, and the eyes strained after
the life-boat were for a while strained
--
in vain.
All at once there was a cry of " Here
she comes ;" but it was prolonged into
a wild wail of despair; for by the light
from„th,e fire the boat could be seen
broadside on, and close inshore ; and
then, after tossing about for a moment,
she was dashed, bottom upwards, upon
the sands.
There was a rush to aid the men strug
gling in the surf. Some were dragged
ashore, some scrambled unaided from
the water, while more than one was
sucked back by the undertow ; but the
life-belts they wore kept them afloat;
and at last, more or less hurt, the whole
crew was ashore—three being carried up
to the village insensible.
I now learned that, about half way to
the messel, the steersman's oar had snap
ped in two, nd the boat fell into the
trough of ti 1
sea; when,9n their eiliarts
to right her, couple more blades were
broken ; a wave swept over them and
washed two men from their seats; but
they regained their places, and. then,
with the dread of death upon them, the
boat became unmanageable -in their
hands ; for in spite of the efforts of the
old coxswain, the men appeared panic
stricken, and rowed at random.
The light that glared upon the shore
now showed that it -was completely
strewn with wreck; and I looked with
horror upon the various signs which so
plainly disclosed the fate of the good
ship. Spar, plank, beam and cask, en
tangled with rope, were being churned
over and over in the sand ; and twice I
saw something dragged ashore, and car
ried away., which sent a shudder thro'
my frame.. -
At last, heartsick and weary, I turned
away, & inquired where the crew of the
boat were, and who had suffered ; when,
to my sorrow, I' learned that the only
one seriously injured was old Marks,
who had so gallantly set the example
that evening—an example which had
resulted in the saving of fifteen poor
creatures from' a 'watery grave.
-On entering the village I soon found
where the old man had been Conveyed,
and a few minutes after I was at the
- bedside of the sufferer. I, found him
sensible ; but with a change in his coun
tenance that no amount of pain or suf
fering alone would have placed there.—
He was quite calm, and smiled as I en
tered.
!' Has she gone iii pieces?" he whis
pered, stopping to wipe the blood away
that oozed from his lips.
" I fear so," I replied ; " the shore is
strewed with wreck."
" I knew she would," he gasped.—
" Poor things, poor things ! Flow many
did we bring ashore•gll
•
I told him fifteen.
"Ah I". he groaned. "Not enough,
not enough."
" - But it was a most gallant act," I
said ; "and morewould have been saved
but for the accident. Where are you
hurt? It is not serious, I hope ?"
" Serious?" he whispered ; and then,
with a sad smile: " No ; it ain't seri
ous. I'm the only one hurt; and my
ti me's up long ago—four years and more.
So it ain't serious"_
" Where are you hurt?" I said.
" Ribs all crushed," he whispered.—
"I was under the gunwale of the boat;
and it's all over—l could see it in the
Doctoeslooks."
A gush of blood stopped his utterance,
and I dared not whisper the comfort I
could not feel.
"It's all right, sir," he whispered, af
ter lying with his eyes closed for about
half an hour—" it's all right; and an
old tar couldn't die better than loin' his
duty. I never thought to ; but I always
felt as I should like to die in harness, as
they say, and so I shall ; but I wish there
had been more."
" More what?" I said.
"More saved," he whispered. " Yer
see I've been afore now in action ; and
the Almighty only knows how many
souls I've cat off; and I should like to
feel•sure as I'd saved more than I did
for—that's all.. Perhaps they might go
in the scale, to help balance the bad."
" nut you did all as a part of your du
ty."
"Ah !" he whispered, " duty! Yes,
sailors should do their duty ; and I felt
it was mine, to-night, to go. We old
menu-war's men were, trained to an
swer to a call in calm or storm ; and
when lives were at stake to-night, I felt
that I was led, and I hope I did my
duty. Wil ou ask them fifteen to just
say a word r two for .the old man in
their prayers, sir; I mean when I'm
gone? I think I should like them to,
for I'm an old sailor,-and can't boast di
my past life." . .

"Far away—far away," he said, with
a mournful shake of the head ; " and
some are a-waitin' for me to join their
watch._ Don't leave me, sir,"-he said,
piteously.
I promised I would not ; and sat
watching, hour after hour, listening to
the hard breathing of the sufferer, who
seemed to sink Into a state of stupor,
only moaning at intervals as he tossed
his head from side to side of the pillow,
and-muttered a few words broken and
half-spoken.

wind quite lulled.; and about three o'-

clock I half drew the curtain and look
ed out upon the sea, which still tossed
fearfully, though all above was cairn and
peaceful—a light cloud just drifting
slowly past the pale bright moon.
I stood gazing at the soft blue sky,
now so placid and serene, almost won
dering that so great a change could have
taken place, when I started, for a voice
behind me shouted,
" Morning watch ! Draw the curtain
and let that moon shine in."
I obeyed—turning cold and trembling
as I did so--still looking at the dying
sailor, who sat erect in the bed !
" Here," he said ; and, as I approach
ed the bed, he seized my hand. "Hark !
don't you hear that? It's the boatswain
piping for me to- keep my everlasting
watch. Ay, ay, sir! There—hark a
gain ! There's the waves a-lashing up
on the farther shore. Breakers ahead!!
Look out there ! The old vessel has
struck, and she's going to pieces—the

plunge, and a hopeful heart—a brave
striking out through the harsh breakers!

the dark waters is coming—blinding—
deafening,—but a bold heart, messmate.
God bless you! I'm going ashore."
For some minutes I sat motionless.—
The old man's eye had lighted up, as he
gazed straight before him out upon the
moonlit heavens. His voice seemed to
peal through the silence of the night,
till I shivered as he described the wreck
then taking place. To the last word,
his voice had rung out loud and reso

upon the pillow, stained uow with his

One of our merchants, nervous and
irritable, received a letter from a cus
tomer in the country; begging for more
time. Turning to one of his counting
clerks, he said : ,
" Write to this man immediately."
" Yes, sir. What shall I say `."
The merchant was pacing the office,
and repeated the order.
"Write to him at once."
" Certainly, sir; what do you Wish me
to say ?"
The merchant was impatient, and
broke out :
"Something or nothing, and that ve
ry quick."
The clerk waited for no further orders,
but consulting his own judgment, wrote
and dispatched the letter. By the re
turn of mail came aletter from the de
linquent customer, enclosing the money
in full of the account. The merchant's
eyes glistened when he opened it, and
hastening to his desk, he said to the
clerk:
" What sort of a letter did you write
to this_.man? Here is the money in
full."
" I wrote just what you told me to,
sir. The letter is copiedinto the book."
The letter book was consulted, and
there it stood, short and sweet, and
right to the point :
"Dear Sir—Something or nothing;
and that very quick.

And this letter brought the money,
when a more elaborate dun would have
failed of the happy effect.
FRESIJ AlR.—Every house should be
thdrdughly ventilated the first thing ev

This card be done by first airing one part
and then another. By doing this a house
can be the more easily warmed. When
there are many persons collected in a
room, crire should be observed to keep
a few inches of the window open from
the top, every one sitting close to or un
der it, a 4, after a time, when many are
collected, the atmosphere of the room
becomes impregnated with their exha
lations,
and the air is thusrendered im-
Pure. • By perfect ventilation, there isa
uniform amountof oxygen maintained,
which is the vital part of the atmos
phere, and which is necessary to our
very existence.
Who has not noticed a disgreeable
feeling on going from the fresh air into
a room with many persons, in which
the ventilation is imperfeet? At night,
also, fresh air should be admitted into
the room, for it is, if anything, more
necessary that there should be a plenti
ful supply of oxygen. We have often
been asked the ridiculous question, if
enough air did not come in through the
key hole. Certainly not. That is not
fresh air. _Make it a rule always to sleep
with part •of your window open from
the top, avoiding its blowing on you.—
Fresh air never hurts any one, for by it
we live. It is a want of it that injures.
Persons seem to forget that they spend
one-third of their lives in their bed
rooms. We frequently see a man build
ing a house, bestowing all his attention
on• the plan of the parlors, while the
bedrooms are, to a great extent, and in
some instances entirely neglected. It
had better be vice versa.
