'Mercy ! The horrid thing ! What shall
we do with him now ?'
Miss Gardner applied the remark 'to a
wretched crab which we had discovered in
our peregrinations along the beach, and had
succeeded, after half an hour's patient labor,
in extricating from between the huge stonen7

'Well, then, we've to leave him behind.'
'No, we rousn't. I want to keep him.—
tell you what. You run up to the house
and get a basket—that's a dear.'
Miss Gardner turned her blue,eyes toward
me in a way that was not to be resisted.—
She had never called me a dear before; and
I I became so exhi'erated at the sound that I
immediately clapped my hat over the unfor
tunate crab, told the young lady to put her
foot on it. and started away bare headed to
ward the house at the top of 'my speed.
I had run a dozen yards, when the convic
tion that I was making a fool of myself, made
me stop and look back. Miss Gardner sat
on the side of the boat laughing merrily,
with her bewitching little foot on the rim of
my hat, and waving me on with her hand.
So I dashed forward again.
For two months I had been pondering
what mysterious attraction it was that drew
me towards this girl She was very pretty,
-bat at that time this was no enchantment in
my eyes. In fact, I was very °harry of
pretty faces, and never approached one with
out a certain degree of suspicion.
My first meeting with Miss Gardner was
unpleasant. I felt that I almost disliked her.
She had such grand hauteur, and seemed to
feel such a serene indifference to my presence
that my sell•love was hurt. But at that
time I was a victim to an 'unbounded admir•
ation for my cousin Nellie; a fancy which, as
the summer wore on, melted away under
Miss Gardner's magnetic influence like snow
beneath the sun.
She had come to us early in June ia the
capacity . of a country school . teacher, when
the meadows were green and the pastures
were sprinkled with a golden dust of dandeli
ons. She carried her reserve into the school
room with her too; and yet the children, by
her potent spell, were drawn to her at once.
Withburg had about as wild a set of boys as
any village in the country, but I don't be
lieve there was one of them who would not
have gone through fire and water for Miss
Gardner.
In consequence of this, the female portion
of the community called her 'stuck-up;' and
little Polly Smith, whose mother kept • the
post office at the Corners, told me quite con
fidently' one day that she thought Miss Gard
ner was awfully conceited, and 'put on a great
many airs for a soboohnistress.' But when
I came to know Miss Gardner better, I found
a blithesome heart under this cold exterior,
and discovered that after all she was as merry
as a minx when occasion required, as any
other girl in Withburg. So by degrees I
leayned to like her, and it soon became quite
a regular thing for Nellie to ask her to join
in our afternoon strolls. Alas ! before the
summer was gone, poor Nellie herself was
left out of our calculations entirely.
I had a dim suspicion— I know not how
it came—or upon what it rested—that Miss
Gardner had passed through the ordeals of
what the French call an affair of the heart.

Scattering blessings as she passeth by,

About he middle of July, my conviction was
verified by the appearance of a dark-com
plexioned cavalry captain, who registered his
name on - tire tavern books as plain John
Smith. This interloper on my rightful do
main no-sooner establishahinaself, than he
commenced courting the with
all his military might and ferocity. His
advent-brought-home-to-me—the—knowledge
that I had a deeper feeling for Mies Gardner.
I met them ene moonlight night returning
from a drive along the beach; and as they
rolled past, a great throb of my heart told me
that henceforward there was to be a struggle
for victory between myself and the cavalry
captain.
Th us• matters stood at present, and I, turn
ed them over in my mind as I waded through
the clover-tops and crossed the long meadow

the sun shone like a silver shield. The cap
tain had gone fishing, and I had taken ; , ad•
vantage of this glorious opportunity, to ask
the little sohoolmistr e ss to goroviol
me. She assented, for it was her half-holi
day; and so we had rowed leisurely around
the Point to the beach, where we had just
now found the crab, and where, incredible
as it may seem, she had actually called me a
dear •
•un ' lary,' said - I, when rreaohed t
door of the porch, '1 want a basket'
',What for ?' she asked.
No one ever laid down a proposition to
Aunt Mary that she did not reply to by ask
ing either 'which' or 'what for . it was a
weakness she had.
This time I laughed in her face.
'Well;' she said snappishly, 'the only one
I know on that ain't in use your Uncle
Hezekiab's got, down to the Cove, clammin:
That one's in use, tew.'
I tuned away and rumaged successively,
the barn, the corn crib and the carriage shed,
in a fruitless search for something that would
answer my purpose
ad-offended—Aunt-Mary by not answer
ing her question, and she would give me no
assistance. Finally, after nearly an hour's
delay, 1 siezed as a last resort the waterpail
and started back to the beach.
When I arrived at the spot I had left, the
schoolmistress was no longer there. I looked
up and down the shore, but could see noth
ing but my hat. which propelled by some
unseen power, we,s slowly and laboriously
traveling up the beach'. The boat, too, was
gone. I recovered my tile, and in so doing
liberated our ugly captive, on whose account
I had already been put to so much trouble.
But where was Miss Gardner ? Was she
playing me some trick ? Had the cavalry
captain made a coup d'etate in my absence
and carried her off Neither of these things
seemed likely, but where was she ?
I ran along the sand and mounted a great
rock which jutted out into the water. In a
great deal of distress, I shaded my eyes with
my hand,-and - gazed earnestly, far and near,
over the sleepy, shiny sea. Ah ! could that
be she ? that black speck upon the water ?
Yes, for in a moment I could distinguish
the waving of a handkerchief. There could
be no one with her, and it needed but little
reflection - to convince me that the school
mistress was alone in the boat, and was
drifting out to sea.
Still I was puzzled to know how it - was
that she had left herself float helplessly away
from the shore without making an effort to
save herself, for I knew that Miss Gardner
was almost as good a sailor as I. However,
there she was; at all events; and I ran up
and down the shore several times in a state
of semi-distraction. There was not another
boat within miles, and every second of delay
separated me farther' from my life. At that
moment I knew how much I loved her.
Al last, in utter desperation, I threw off
my coat and boots, and waded into the water.
I had been an excellent swimmer from boy.
hood, and with so smooth a sea and the tide
running out, I felt hopeful of gaining the
boat.
I swam steadily on until I was tired, and
then turned over on my back to rest. It
seemed an age before I reached the school
mistress, and I became so thoroughly es
bausted that I was several times on the point
of letting myself sink in despair. Then the
thought of sharks came over me, and I be
came siezed with a wild panic, and swam on
as though swimming for life, as at last it
really was. I had gone so far from shore
that to return would be impossible, and I
knew that the only chance for my own salva
tion was to reach the boat.
As I neared the boat, I saw the poor little
sohool•mistress in the bow bending towards
me in agony of supplication. By my direc
tion she retired to the farther side, while I
clambered in, and then suddenly fell down
at my feet, sobbing bitterly.
I raised her up and waited until this par
oxysm had subsided.
'There,' said I, 'you are quite safe now.'
'Alas, no, -she said. 'Yon will be one
more. What hope is there for either of
us ?'
I looked around the boat, and my heart
sank within me. Not a thing did it contain
beside ourselves. The oars had been left on
shore.
'There is hope where life is,' I replied
'The flood tide will surely carry us back
again.'
We could do nothing but sit still and await
its turning. I tried to lead Miss Gardner's
attention away from our fearful situation, and
with that end in view, I talked of other
things. I told her stories, I- quoted poetry,
we criticised the last books we had read, ire
discussed botany, geology, and philosophy;
we sang songs together; and when we tired
of all these things, we made puns at each
other, and laughed until tears rolled down
our cheeks.
The stin descended into the sea a, scarlet,
fiery ball, and then the heavenly hosts came
out in countlees myriads, and we saw the
glittering armies form together and take up
their march thrciugh space. Under the glor
ions doom of night we drifted aut-upon_the
darkening se*. --
I was wet and cold,•and so the little school
mistress modestly removed one of her skirts--
and insisted on wrapping i t around my
shoulders. I told her that we wo'd divide
- the - night - into - watches, and that-mine - should
be the first, but she stoutly declared that we
should watch together. Before long, how.
ever, her eyelids began to droop, determine.
tion gave way to nature, and Miss Gardner
leaned against me and fell fast asleep. For
the first time in my life .I clasped her tightly
in my arms. We were alone beneath the
stars, drifting helplessly out upon an lin.
known sea, but I . would not have exchanged
_those precious moments.for_the happiest_ones

It was nearly midnight when she unclosed
hei eyes and looked up into my face.
'Where are we 1' she asked.
'We're riiinat,_were_afloW-I—said,—And
cheerily tried to strike up Life on the
Ocean Wave.
She smiled faintly, but lay in my arms
quite still.
'Has the tide turned yet ?'
expect it his ;_b_utit_don!tseem_to_make
enr—inah difference to us.' .
'ls there nothing betore us then ?'
'I see nothing but water,' said I, looking
around.
'And death !'
'And death 1' I repeated. 'But death with
you will be sweet. For me life alone is noth.
log.'
I bent down over her more closely. She
made no reply; but her little hand stole gent.
ly and softly into mine.
'For all time ? I asked.
'For all time,' she said, whether we live
or die.'
Now might the winds and the waves do
their worst. Now might the Heavens fall
and—the—earth—stand—still, What - would - it
matter to me ?
We were floating, floating silently on, but
in the debth of my joy I cared not. It was
intoxication—delirium~ Had I the means,
I would not have returned. So I sat still,
holding her closely to me, and showering my
kisses upon her lips.
The night seemed scarce begun before
morning painted her first gray streaks across
the east. • By our united exertions we suc
ceeded in tearing off one of the long rib elects
from the side of the boat, and after half an
hour's vexatious labor, I succeeded in rais
ing it in the bow with the white skirt stretch
ed across it for a sail, which, after—all, was
not so much of a sail as a signal of distress.
I now began to feel the distress of a raging
thirst; but my companion was so still and
uncomplaining thl" felt ashamed to say
anything of my own misery.
Slowly, step by step, the sun mounted the
stairs of day, and the sea became hot, and
burned our eyes like molten metal The
land vanished in the night, and we were a
lone upon the barren waste of waters. At
last, toward noon, I spied, far upon the ho
rizon, a tiny, snow-white speck, and we sat
breathlessly watching it as we came nearer
and nearer. In an hour my straining eyes
detected the white wings of a ,yacht, and
then the little schoolmistress plied me with
a hundred eager questions.
Did I think they would see us ? Was our
sail big enough, or our mast high enough ?
Would they not be likely to pass us by and
leave us ? How far off are they ? How long
would it take them to reach us ?
Our fears were soon put to rest, for the
yacht suddenly altered her course a little,
and bore straight down upon us. The wind
was very light, and it seemed a year before
it came within hailing distance. On the for
ward deck stood a tall man, whod I recog
nized at once as the cavalry captain. Strange
as it may seem, the old feeling came back to
me in a quick, hot flush, and at that moment_
I wished br him and his yachtat the bet-
_...:et. loth
torn of the sea.
'Hullo, my boy ! Here take this line,' he
shouted, cheerily, throwing a coil of rope a•
cross to mo, while the vessel lulled up into
the wind. I made him no reply, but sat mo
tionless.
'Zounds, man !' be continued, 'aro you
deaf ? What's the matter with you ?
The boats drifted together, and he reached
down and made fast to us with a boat hook.
Then he lifted my sohool•mistress up over
the side, and, to my utter astonishment, she
immediately threw her arms around his neck,
and burst into tears.
'He's my brother,' she said, laughing and
crying together, and with this explanation I
was satisfied.
I was so sliff with salt water' and exposure
that I could hardly move. The captain
helped me tenderly into the cabin and put
me to bed, while I resigned my companion
to his care with a confidence as sadden as it
was implicit.
It is nearly three years since I made my
memorable voyage with ,the school-mistress.
We live together now in a little cottage over
looking the beach where she first called me
a dear; and the incidents of that eventful
afternoon and following night have, to-day,
been vividly brought back to my remem.

Affecting Scene:
A correspondent writing from Liverpool,
-narrates a touching—incident that happened
on the voyage of one of our packet ships, so
well told and so characteristic of a noble.
- hearted - 14i captain, that - we copy it - entire :
'A little girl was returning to England in
charge of the captain. She was the only fe
-br 113 by h-- '
nr - t e — eifboard, an... Jy , her sweet simplicity
had won the lore of the noble captain and
passengers. The poor child was very, very
sick, nearly all the way; and became much
reduced in strength. One dreary-night, the
fancy struck her that soda water would be
refreshing. Spasms of the stomach almost
immediately ensued, and before the morning
came the little sufferer had passed away to a
better world; mourning most of all, that no
mother's gentle hand would close her eyes it
t
,weir last sleep, nor a mother's prayer linger
last-upon-her-deafening-ear. But the great stalwart Captain had almost
a mother's heart. He whose voice could be
heard high up aloft, when the tempest raged
in its fury, had tones of gentleness and love
o - e-poo , • an ,--- °rig
scarce knew the word fear, tears fell like rain
from his eyes upon the wasted face of the
little corpse.
Beautiful, most beautiful—though full of
gloom—was the scene presented in that cab
-in-on-t haHrild-win ter's - nigt ith evil&
site delicacy and almost sacred tenderness
was the corpse laid out and preserved. But
another trying time for the generous Cap
tain was yet .to come, for he knew that the
mother would hasten to the dock gates to
meet her child the moment the ship's arrival
was telegraphed. And she did. The Cap
tain saw her in an instant, and as soon as the
ship got near enough to enable her voice to
be heard, she could no longer restrain her
self, but cried out in tremulous accentb—gs
Mary on board ?
The poor captain scarcely knew what to
say, but requested the mother to go to his
.hotel and he would soon be with her. I dare
not attempt a description of the-subset_uent
scenes of this simple, though sad drama.—
Suffice it to say, that when Thomas B. Crop
per goes to his last account, of this touching
incident it will surely be said—inasmuch as
ye•did it to the least of these my little ones
ye did it unto ME'
Boundlessness of Creation
About the time of the invention of the
telescope, another instrument was formed,
which laid open a scene no less wonderful,
and rewarded the inquisitive spirit of man.
This was the microscope. The one led us to
see a system in every star; the other leads
us to see a world in every atom. The one
taught us that this mighty globe, with the
whole burden of its people and its countries;
is but a grain of sand on the high field of im
mensity ; the other teaches us that every
grain of sand may harbor within it the tribes
and families of a busy population. The one
told us of the insignificance of the world we
tread upon; the other redeemed it from all
insignificance; for it tells us, that in the
leaves of every forest, and in the ewers of
every garden, and in the waters of every riv
ulet, there are the glories of the firmanont.
The one has suggested the thought, that be
yond and above all that is visible to man,
there may be fields of creation which sweep
immeasurably along, and carry the impress
of the Almighty's hand to the remotest scene
of the universe. The other suggests that
beneath all that minuteness which the aided
eye of man has been able to explore, there
may be a region of invisible—and that could
we draw aside the mysterious curtain which
shrouds it from our senses, we might see a
theatre of as many wonders as astronomy bad
unfolded—a universe within the compass of
a point so small as to elude all the powers of
the microscope, but nevertheless, where the
wonder working God finds room for the ex
ercise of His attributes—where he can raise
another mechanism of worlds, and fill and
animate them all with the evidences of his
glory
Beauty of the Heavens
How delightful to contemplate the heav
ens! Wo can find no limit, no boundary
Millions of nines may be traversed from any
given point of space,
and still the heavens
appear illimitable. Infinity is stamped upon
them. And with what gorgeous splendor
and magnificence is that curtain adorned !
In every direction is is studded with worlds,
suns and systems, all harmoniously moving
in perfect and undeviating obedience to the
Almighty will. The soul, in such a contem
plation,
is absorbed. Earth ceases to hold
us with its silver chain. The mind., set free
from grovelling pursuits, mounts np as if on•
the wings of an eagle, and soars away through
immensity of space, surveying and admiring
the innumerable revolving orbs, which, like
so many 'crowns of glory' and 'diadems of
beauty,' spangle that firmanent 'whose an
tiquity is ancient days,' and which so won
derfully attest that 'the hand that made them
is divine
The immense distance of the fixed stare
claims our attention, and awakens the most
enrapturing feeling in the mind. Reason is
compelled to give the reins to imagination,
which tells us that thete'are stare so distant
that their light has been shining since the
creation, and yet, amazingly rapid as light
travels, be ray from them has yht reached
us!

General Phil Kearney.
We are informed by a prominent laWyer
of this city, that. while sojourning in Amboy
last night, be,passed a pleasant hour in (tom
pany with a former rebel officer, who was at-
tached to Stonewall Jackson's division of the
afetlerate-army-d uring-the-war, arrd - wh
related an interesting reminiscence of the
death of General Kearney, of which sad 'e
vent he was an eye witness : 'The gallant
Kearney,' he said, 'received his death wound
from a private in my command, and when ho
fell. from his horse, I hastened, with many
others, to the point where he lay, not sup
posing that his wound was a mortal one.—
Just as we reached his body, however, his
limbs gave one convulsive quiver, and then
all was over. Seeing that he was a major
general, word was sent to headquarters to
that effect, and General Jackson coming to
the spot immediately' gave one glance at the
dead officer's features, and exclaimed, 'My
God boys, do you know whom you have
killed? You have shot the most gallant of
ficer in the United States army. This is
Phil Kearney, who lost his arm in the Mex
ican war.' lie then involuntarily lifted his
hat, every offi:er in the group following the
example, anti for a moment a revereryi LI
lenge was observed by all. Subsequently the
body of the dead soldier was placed upon two'
boards, and when being removed to head
quarters,
was followed General Jackson,
General Ewell, and other officers, while a
regimental band preceded it, playing the
dead , nrarch.'—.Newark Courier, N. J.
Noble Sentiment
'This is an agreeable world after all, If
we would only bring ourselves to look at the
objects that surround us in their true light,
we should see beauty where before we be•
held deformity, and listen to harmony, where
before we could hoar nothing but discord.—
To be sure there is a great deal of anxiety
and vexation to meet ; we cannot expect to
sail upon a summer sea forever; yet if wo
preserve a calm eye and a steady hand, we
can so trim our sails and manage our helm
as to avoid the quicksands, and weather the
storms that threaten shipwreck.
'We are members of one great family ; w
are all travelling the same road, and shall ar
rive at the same goal. We breathe the free
air, we aro subject to the same bounty, and
we shall lie down on the bosom of our com
mon mother, It is not becoming then that
brother should hate bkrother ; it is not prop.
er that friend should deceive friend ; it is
not right that neighbor should injure neigh•
bor. We pity that man who can harbor en•
mitt' against his fellows; he losses half the
enjoyment of life; he embitters his own ex
istence. Let us tear from our eyes the .col.
ore(' medium that invests every object with
the green hue of jealousy and suspicion;
turn a deaf oar to the tale of scandal; breathe
the spirit of charity from our lips; and from
our hearts let the rich gushings of human
kindness swell up as from a fountain, so the
'golden age' will become no fiction, and the
'island of the blessed' bloom in more than
flesperian beauty.
Fifteen Young Men
At a respectable boarding-house in New
York a number of years agn, were fifteen
young men. Sin of, them uniformly appear
ed at the breakfast table on Sabbath morn
ing, shaved, dressed and prepared for public
worship, which they attended both forenoon
and afternoon. All became highly respecta
ble and useful citizens. The other nine were
ordinarly absent from the breakfast table on
Sabbath morning. At noon they appeared
at the dinner table, shaved and dressed in a
decent manner. In the afternoon they went
out, but not ordinarily to church; nor were
they usually seen in the place of worship.
Ono of them is DOW living and in a reputable
employment; the other eight became openly
vicious All these faili d in business, aou
are now dead. Some of them came to an
untimely and awfully tragic end. Many a
man may say as did a worthy and wealt hy
citizen, I The keepiog of the Sabbath saved
me.' It will, if duly observed, save all. In
the language of its author, 'they shall ride
upon the high places of the earth.'
