A DEATH STOJIY.
This inn't altogether a story of press
gangs, tr. you'll find before 1'vo done,
and it made a good deal of talk here at
ho time, as I remember, though l was
only a lad. Hut the orowuprV impiest

tii'ist now' he i: itrli

ifty yi-ari ago fifty
half e! Mug his eves,
swvi pausing, si tus mini traveled over
the space which had brought ro many
hnd greai, changes, even to thai, quiet
little village, where an old sea faring
man they called (luptaiu Meredith lived,
at ler.tt, that is to soy. lodge 1, in the
the hou.-e nf a widow mimed Pc'iihyn.
You miiil.t see the spot from tho Inr.v
of the hill, f;r the h m-o uAf b is been
pulled down long since lio n. "Well, he
might have been a captain or not. I
don't pretend to say. It is certain he
hud a bit of money put Ly, and lived
comfortably enough. Some siy ha had
been in the smuggling trade, and made
money in thut way. However, it don't
much matter; he was well respected,
and though he had a daughter as was
called Ellon, and the prettiest lass in
Cawsand, an 1 lnr miles around. Well,
now, the old widow had a son named
Paul, and a strange article ho was. I
remember him a little, bandy legged
chap, with red hair, and thu people used
to call him "I'octor."
" Was ha then a surgeon '('' I inter
rupted. " I'm going to tell you. He had been
'pTcnticcd tfi a ('heiuj.4 in I'avenport
sve used to call him '"Hoc' in thosa days
and after his lim.; was eiut he hid
been stopping svlh his mother to take
care of her, tr p. rliaps he couldn't find
a situation readily for hiiueU'. The old
widow had put some-thing i,y, suppose,
ryl Paul had been at home about a
year when the captain came to lodge
therewith his daughter. This Paul's
room was at the top of the house, vhoio
bis light would be seen burning tit a
time when all honest folks were in bed
and asleep. Sometimes he would bo
out all night, and he met in the morn,
ing returning with his arms lull of weeds
and plants, which he used to take up
sluir.s into tho 'doctor's shop' as they
called it."
" Ah ! a botanist," I remarked.
" T don't know ubout that," replied
any friend, slightly puzzled ; " but the
j eople said he made poison out of them.
Any way, emee when Paul was passing
ly the blacksmith's the dog ran out and
bit him, and the next day Paul was
seen to give him a bit of bread, and tho
dog was dead within an hour. Thel
neighbors blamed him for it, and I ro,
collect when a youngster, e-alling alter
bitn: 'There goes Dr. Nightshade 1'
and bis stripping end saying, 'If I had
to doctor yon, my lad, you wouldn't
sboutso loud.' Well, veiy hhortly af

ing at tho widow's house, it was clear
to sco that Paul wished to courtlier;
wherever she went, euro enough, Paul
waf :i't far behind, and;thing9 wnt off in
this way for about six months, when
one night, when the wind blowing great
guns and the sea running hih, we saw
signals of distress from some vessel on
tho poirt there. There was no life
boat in tho place, and eur small craft
couldn't have lived a niinuto in such
water. In tho morning we saw no signs
of tho vessel, and wo supposed sho had
gine down, and all on bard lost ; how.
ever, wo heard in the day that one of
the poor fellows hid escaped, and tho'
cut and bruised, bad contiive 1 to crawl
up the point there, where lie was found
by Captain Meredith, who brought him
home lo his own lodging and uursed him,
" Ho wis a fine young fellow, an or.
ph in, as ho said, by name William Ran
dall, and had been working his way to
Liverpool in hopes of obtaining employ
ment. Tl;o clergyman of the place
you may see the church on the right a
you go toward Kdgercuinbe Ferry
heard of thi;1., and becoming a
gool deal interested in the young mau,
offered him a place as gardener, or gen.
cral servant, or something or other. Hill
was a handy chap, and soon made friends
with the people, and they persuaded
h'ra to stop here, instead of going to
Liverpool as he had intended to. lie
didn't want much pressing, for any one
could see there was a girl in tho case,
and that girl was F.llen Meredith, and
it didn't want more tb.au two eyes to see
that sho liked him. The folks used to
jeer Paul about his noso being out cf
j iint, and Tom Trcvellian, the black
smith, as owed him a grulge for tha
dog. used to say, 'Well, doctor, how's
your tioso by this timet" But they said
tho doctor only used U rum white, and
rub Ins hands ; it was a way he h-vl and
he did the same when ha gave the dog
the bread.
" U'eil, things prospered so well with
young Ilandall that ho at last made up
his mind to a.-k the captain lor his cou.
sent that he and Kllon should be mar.
ried, and as tho old fellow was a jollow,
easy-going customer, and liked Hill ve
ry much beside, it wasn't, 1 mg before
he gave it. Jut about this time, tho
folks in the village was frightened at
the report that the press. gang were out ;
that they had been as far as Plymouth,
four or five miles from tho town there,
and pressed one or two men. Tho Cap
tain and Ellen wanted to put tho wed
ding off, but Pill wouldn't bear to it,
and, strange to sav, Paul sided with
him. Well, on the very day afore tho
wed.'iing a strange man as ha in't been
seen in the village aforo, called at the
the house to sneak to Paul, and a neigh,
bur's daughter happened to be present
at. the time said afterward sho had seen
them talking together on the road to
Plymouth- Now, mind me, in the even
ing, and just as they were sitting down
t.) supper and drinking healths, Paul,
who was late, ran into the room, leaving
the door open behind him, and entreat.
William to look to himself, tho press
gang were already in tho village; and
before poor Hill could get away the
press. gang were inside and had seized
him, and in spite of bis struggles and
Ellen's cries and Paul's entrertics, car
ried him to the beach, where a boat lay
rcadv, and took him away in it.
" Is that all !" I ar.ke-1.
" Not exact I v, mate,'' said my friend.
finishing the rum, '-the strange part has j
to ctme.
So, replenishing his glass and refill
ing his pipe, he continued:
" W.:'.l, every one, of course, was very
much cat down r t this, but poor Hilen
particularly; however, for many months
she kept a ! v;.v.i h.-trt, always telling
the (,'api.iiu tf.it. she Lncvy William
would returo, and they would bo happy
yet, and d'y .l see no one liked to tell the
pool tiling d'.d'eiviit, although but very
few thought they'd ever see hiai i gain.
At any r ite it svas clear Dr. Paul didn't,
for alter a while he begin to pay his
addresses to her, aud this time more iu
earnest than before j butitsvssno use.
Kilon would have uothing to say to bitn
at ail.
" Now, about two years after they
had pressed poor Will, when it was get
ting on towards tho winter time there
had been a gocd deal of dirty weather
about, and several vessels had bceu lost
on the coast there was a report that
s vtral cresvs bad been paid off, and
when Kllcn made up her mind uioro
than ever that William woul 1 return;
when one day a neighbor comes in and
says ho has heard that a vessel like tho
spitfire thai wrs tho one William went
out in had gone down off the Sicillys,
an 1 it svas feared all bands had perish,
cd ; ho had it, no said, from a party who
was tol l o by Paul, who had learned it
when ho went over to Davenport tho
day befoio on somo matter of business.
"This svas bad news for the poor
a-s, but I believe fcho still hoped and
prayed for Tier sailor sweetheart, aud all
along kept telling the captain that be
would livo to sec her and Will llandull
bride and bridegroom yet ; but about a
fortnight after this Paul comes in, in a

gtent hurry, and shows the captain a
bottlo which ho siys !d boon picked
up on the Cornish coast, no doubt hav
ing drifted in ; and in it was a paper say
ing that tho Spitfire cculdn't live the
uisiht through, that praying that svhoev.
cr foundtho bottle would, for heaven's
sake, send it on'to Captain Meredith, of
Cawsand, with the last prayers of poor
William Randall.
" This was dated back about tho time
when tho Spitfire was said to have gone
down ; and so now there seemed to bo
nr hope at a!!, and poor Kllen seemed
to think at la-t, frr yhe got paler and
weaker every day, and Z?oye 1 about like
onesvho had nothing to lr,"c for. To
make tilings svorse, the Captain had got.
into debt, and difficulties had got bigger
and bigger. 'Veil, one day ali on a
sudden the Doctor cos to him and cf-
fers to curry Kllea out ot hand, prom,
ising to discharge all tho captain's obli
gations, ail'1 slating his long and strong
attachment had induced him to make
tho proposal. Tho Captain, as you may
bolies'o didn't much fancy Paul as a son.
in-law, but at best he relented, and press
ed by his deb's and troubles, urged Kl.
len to accept him. The poor lass refus
ed for a long time, but when she found
her father's welfare and liberty depen
ded on it, and besides, as she had lo.-it all
hope eif seeing Will Randal! ajaiii, at.
last sha consented.
" But you don't mean to say they were
uiorried '(" I interrupted.
" Iu two or three months they were,
and a pretty couple they must have
made ; sue with her tall figure and pale
face, and he with his red head and bow
legs shaaibling along by her sida. They
were married at Millbrook church, (on
the hill, sir,) aud William Rand all's old
mastor read tho service. They said Kl.
len didn't cry or faint, or have any non.
sense of that kind, but sveut through
her share quietly and calmly enough,
svhile tho Doctor seemed all abroad.
Nuw, it seetu3 this very evening, just
about dusk, when the captain had gone
out to smoke his pipe, that Paul, who
had gone up stairs, heard a terrible
loud scream, and rushing back into the
room where he bad left Kllen, finds her
fainted, dead away on the floor, and
William Kaudall himself kneeling by
her side.
" William used to say afterwards that
ho ne ver could forget Paul's face when
they sasv ono another for the first time;
he use to dream of it he said; he had
many and tunny a time seen tho faces
of strong men who had been struck
down in tho boat and passion of bat
tle, or who had met violent death in
other ways; but Paul's face, ho said,
reminded him only of a pietureho had
seen, when quite a lad, of tho devil,
which he remembered had frighten
ed him then, but which ho bad for
gotten till their eyes met that night.
When Paul recovered his surprise ho
said not a word about the marriage ; but
when William sai 1 he h id just loft Ply
mouth and hadn't seen a soul in the vil
lage yet, he suddenly seemed delighted
at meeting him again, and iusisted on
their drinking togethci.
Ho led Kllen into another room
svhere, ho told Will, hi mother would
attend to her, and shortly returned with
two glasses of stiff grog, svhioh he put
on the table between them. Now, Pill,
old mate,' says he ' we'l drink to your
return home. ' Put what about Nelly,
my poor girl V says Will. ' Never
taind her,' says Paul, 'mother will soon
bring hur round, an meanwhile, let's
drink the greig ; but first of all let's
shut tho doeir and bo snug, eh ?" So
Paul shuts the door, and coining back
to the table, says: 'Now, Pill hero's
your jolly good health and no heeltaps 1'
and they both emptied their glasses.
' William,' says Paul after while, ' how
do you feel!" 'Quite svell, Paul, my
hcaity, thank ye,' nays Will. ' Do you'?'
says Paul, rinuing ; 'then you won't
for long, Will Kaudall,' says be, getting
white and trembling; 'we've had a lon'
account to settle, and now it's done.'
' What d'ye uieau V a:,ks Will iu sur
prise, as you may bo sure, ' 1'vo never
injured you!' 'Yes, ytiu have!' says
Paul. ' Didn't you step in between
ine and the girl I had set uiy heart on ?
Didn't the neighbors jeer and mock me
and drive tne almost mad ? Aud didn't
I swear to be even with you, como what
niight ? And I am ! I am ! When
you were pressed,' says he. getting
worso, ' put tho gang on you ! I bro't
the account that mada them think you
wore dead ! and now you have returned
alive to find tho woman you loved, tho
wife of a man you both despised !' ' It's
a hhamoful lie,' ciics Will, ' and I can't
believo it.' It's true,' says Paul, ' for
we wero married this morning; but, true
or false, it's all tho samo to you, for I
tell you, Will Randall,' and Paul turned
very whito aud rubed his bands, 'you
are poisoned. You drank the brandy,
and in an hour's time you are a dead
man 1'
Paul Penrhyn,' says Will, speaking
calm, and low, and looking the doctor
faiily in the eyes, you've played a deep

heard of your trick with the press-gang,
audi know you were a rival of mine,
and you've just owned to the treachery.
Hut when a man that I knew hated me
and svho looked as you did when v. e met
just now, suddenly became my friend
aud asked mo to drink, I grew suspi
cious, and while you closed tho door, I
changed tho glasses.'
" When Kllcn heard the fearful cry
that Paul gave, sho ran in, palo and
weak as sho was, and found him all twis
ted together like rage or pain, aud foam
ing at the mouth from tho poisou he
had swallowed.
" I don't know rightly what it. wis
Called," said the eoat guardsman, ' but
it svas very strong, for they siy Paul
died w:th'i! tho hour, and before tho
two ho had tried to keep nssundcr."
" A strange tale," said I, rising to go.
" It's as good as a play !''
" Jt's better than most of them,"
said ho, ji nocking lbs ashes out cl bis
pipe, " for this is true. Sood night, fir.

but " not a woman saved !" Kngiueer
and purser in ono boat, with crew, but
no woman ; and the purser lives to tell
the tale ! The captain and sixteen men
and only one woman and ono child, on
another boat ! Fortunately, to avoid
ineetiug tho shaking of locks gory with
tho death. water of the sea caves, the
captain of the ill-fated steamer after
six struggles after life, has gone to meet,
before another than earthly tribunal,
tho question propounded. " Why was
not a woman saved '!" Was there not
one among the crowd, of svhoso memory
it may be said,
"Among tlin faithless, faithful only lie !''
Som) fifty years ago or more, a ship
sailed from Liverpool svith many pas
sengers. Just after midnight, svheu
little pii't the centre of the Atlantic, tho
Jupiter struck an ice island, causing; her
to settle almost instantly into the awful
svater. She was badly provided svith
boat.,, but such as they svere, and all of
them, were at once launched in silenc o
and in order. Every passenger that
was awaka svas summoned to the boats.
Discrimination svas used, for the boats
could not hold all. Let those that are
awake save their lives? Let those that
sleep, pa.s's to tho sleep of death ! was
tho terrific, but merciful decree. Sleep
is but tho precursor, tho port al, the sim
ile of tho great enemy of life ! There
can be no pang in dying to tho sweet
and uncotiscious sleeper. So every
wake pcrsou was summoned; every sleep
ing person loft to wake in an eternity !
Tho two boats svere already over-c:osvd.
ed ; the devoted ship fast sinking. Again
tho Captain went to forecastle, to steer
age, to cabin, and on deck, to see if one
cot acinus person still w is left unprovided
for. Not one ! '' Push off your boats,"
svas the solemn order. " Put svhere's
uiy sister ?" screamed a voice of despair
from one of the boats; " I see ber not,
and I would die to snvo her,' " She
sleeps, I would not awaken her. Ono
person more in, and the lives of all arc
endangered," rcplie 1 the Captain from
ihe deck of tho foundering ship. "Then
I sleep with her, if I can not save her,"
Uttered the heroin brother, as ho sprang
upon tho fastling vessel ; and he and
she a id tho ship went down together,
with tho great Oeeuu's hymns testifying
to an heroic devotion and a self sacrifice
cradled in affection, and dying to meet
au immortality ! " Not a woman save J "
fioin the Evening Star ! What a contrast!
Yv'o cannot recall the name of the s-es-sel,
because, out off from the world, tho
Southern States, for four years back, have
little chronology left ; but not many years
since, a British transport foundered in
thedecp Atlantic. She was crowded with
soldiers, their wives, and women and
chilpren. Discipline prevailed, however,
in the awful sceno where a half a thous
and were summoned to death ! Every
boat was launched and guarded ; evory
woman and child was conducted to tho
gangway and securely deposited ; as if
the boats had been ball rooms, and the
eoamen the ushers ! The boats wero push
ee adrift; each soldier repaired to his peist;
each sailor to his place ; and with the
drums beating and rites playing.and a sob
itary gun booming a farewell to earth and
sky, the Hhip an I its ofHcers and crew
went dosvn ; tho British flag flying going
down with them, but covering thein with
its cross of glory ! There was dtcipline ;
there was seamanship ; generalship, ho
roism ! The gurgling waves told to the
mute heavens the story of devotiou, and
the Recording Ane;el copied it from the
heaveusupon the (i rent Book nf God.
Not a woman, not a child was lost!

prool Jests ccwii-kred in my last, I do
not, find any proof nt all of tho doct-ine
for which you bring them. Let us now
look at the remainder and see if your

You ask ' fs there anything in the

purpose : but you fei! to i.hr.y it. By
"this doctrine" I suppose you mean
tho rloctriuo yiu advocate concerning
tho "intercession of saints.'' Pvit in
the pas-age cited (Luke 1"., 7, 1))
there is not the slightest mention of the
'', or of anybody's t'iir--?:.i'o.i.. The
tirtyrtt In lf"ivn know when a sinner
repent?, and rejoice over it. You coo
frtmo that this is true i f the stikifs eVo.-r
I'll re.wm:t'o,t a point I would like
you to prove. But if this were granted,
(and I do not deny th:t it may b so.
only I have not seen proof of it,) if it
bo so that t he saints know somo things
that oei'ur'jon earth, this do.M not go the
length nl uhowing that they know " all
things coiici.-rning us ;" and ye more,
tint it. is proper to aA thrir mterees-ton.
Of" fi.'s dootriuo " our Sivior says no.
thing, and there is not n word in the
passage which implies tint ho knew
anything about i.
You nest quote Matt. 1 1, and
intr.rircl into It a rmariing svhich I
think can by no fair means be dr-swn out
of it. R-ad the whob) pas-ago. The
disciples c.iuio asking, " Who is greatest
in the kingdom of Heaven '! " Jesus
called to Him a little ;hild an 1 taught
them a lesson of humility. Ma i looks

Heaven must bo converted and btcouio
as littio children. And so in v. 10, our
Savior warns us against a worldly esti
mate of persons admiring the great and
despising the humble by reminding us
that these littio ones are dear to God.
and that He takes care of them as is
set forth in the H 1st Psalm, " llo sh-1!
give II is angels charge concerning thee,"
ko. " Take hood that ye despise not
one of these littio ones : for I say unto
you, that in Heaven their angels do al
ways behold the face of my Father who
is iu Ile-iveu." God so esteem.-, Ih-H-i

the ineouiug ot the text, and I c mn 't

such ideas as you suggest '' th:t they

Y'our interpretation of Luke l'o. ',)
seems to mo equally far fetched and un
natural. You say well, " Here is a eli
rect oommaud to make friends of the
poor servants of God ; " but when you
say " because if we relieve them in thi

thtir inttrrrisi'oii, bring our souls to

There U no intimation that it is " by
their intercession " that they will " re

nor is this suggested by anything in tha
e:itext,or anything, that I can fin 1, in
the wholo Bible. Or the contrary, il
seems to mo evilent that our "savior did
