THE RESCUE.
THE RESCUE. SPECIALLY SET FOR JHF EVENING EXPRtSS. It was in the month of February, 1831, a bright moonlight night, and intensely cold, that tlio little brig I commanded lay quietly at her anchors inside of the Hook. We .had a hard time of it beating about for eleven days off this coast, with cutting north- westers blQwin:, and snow and sleet falling for the most of that time. Forward, the vessel was thickly coated with ice, and it was hard work to handle her, as the rigging and sails were stiff, and yielded only when the strength of the men was exci ted to t utmost. AArhen at length we made the port. all hands worn down and exhausted, we could not have held out two days longer without relief. "A bitter cold night, Mr. Larkin," I said to my mate. as I tarried for a moment on deck Donnish my cigar. The worthy down-ouster buttoned his coat more tightly around him, looked up to the moon, and felt his red nose before he replied. "It's a whistle, captain, as we used to say on the Kennebec. Nothing lives comfortable out of blankets in such a night as this." "The tide is running out sjwift and strong; it will be well to keep a sharp look-out for the floating ice, Mr. Larkin." Ay, ay, sir," responded the mate, and I went below. Two hours afterward I was aroused from a sound sleep by the vigilant officer. "Excuse me for disturbing you, captain," said he, as he directed an expression of vexation on my face; "but I wish you would turn out and come on deck as- soon as possible." "Why, what's the matter, Mr. Larkin?" "Why. sir, I've been watching a cake of ice that swept by at a little distance a moment ago; I saw something black upon it—something that I thought moved—the moon's under a cloud, and I could not see distinctly, but I really believe there's a child floating out to sea in this freezing night on that cake of ice." We were on deck before either spoke another word- The mate pointed out, with no little difficulty, the cake of ice, floating off to the leeward, and its white, glittering surface was broken by a black spot-more I could not make out. Get me the glass, Mr. Larkin; the moon will be out of that cloud in a moment, and then we can see distinctly." I kept my eye on the receding mass of ice, while the moon was slowly working her way through a heavy bank of clouds. The mate stood by with a glass. When the fall light fell at last upon the water with a brilliancy only known in our northern latitudes, I put the glass to my eye—one gla.nce was enough. Forward there!" I shouted at the top of my voice, and with one bound I reached the main hatch, and began to clear away the little cutter which was stowed away in the ship's yawl. Mr. Larkin had received the glass from my hand, to take a look for himself. My God!" he said in a whisper, as he set to work to aid me in getting out my boat—" my God, there are two children on that cake of ice." The men answered my hail, and walked lazily aft.. In an incredibly short Space-e-of time we launched the cutter, irtto which Mr. Larkin and myself jumped, followed by the two men who took the oars. I rigged the tiller, and the mate sat beside me in the stern sheets. Do you see that cake of ice with something black upon it, lads?" I cried; "pull me along- side of that, and I'll give you a bottle of rum each to-night, and a month's extra wages when you are paid off!" The men bent on their oars, but their strokes were uneven and feeble. They were used up by the hard duty of the preceding fortnight, and, though they did their best, the boat made little more way than the tide. This was a long chase, and Mr. Larkin, who was suffering as he saw how little we gained, cried out-" Pull, lads; I'll double the captain's prize; two bottles of rum and two months' pay; pull, lads, for the love of God, pull! A convulsive effort at the oars told how will- ing the men were to obey, but the strength of the strong men was gone. One of the poor fellows watched us twice in recovering his oar, and then gave out; the other was nearly as far gone. Mr. Larkin sprang forward and seized the boat." "Lie down in the bottom of the boat," said he to the man; "and, captain, take the other car; we must row for ourselves." I took the second man's place; Larkin had stripped to his Guernsey shirt, and as he pulled the bow I waited for the signal stroke. It came gently, but firm; and the next moment we were pulling a long, steady stroke, gradually in- creasing in rapidity until the wood seemed to smoke in the oar-locks. We bent forward until our faces almost touched our knees, and then, throwing all our strength into the backward movement, drew on the oar until every inch of the space covered by the sweep had been gained.. At every stroke the boat shot ahead like an arrow discharged from a bow. Thus we worked at the oars for fifteen minutes; it seemed to me as many hours. "Are we almost up to it, Mr. Larkin?" I gasped out. "Almost, captain—don't give up; for the love cf our dear little -ones at home, don't give up, captain." The oars Hashed as the blades turned up to the moonlight. The men who plied them were fathers and had fathers' hearts; the strength which nerved them at that moment was more than human. Suddenly Mr. Larkin stopped pulling, and my heart for a moment ceased its beating; for the terrible thought that he had given out crossed my mind. But I was quickly re-assured by his voice. "Gently, captain, gently—a stroke I or two more-there, that will do!"—and the next moment the boat's side came in contact with something, and Larkin sprang from the boat with his heavy feet upon the ice. I started irp, and, calling upon the men to make fast the boat to the ice, followed. We ran to the dark spot in the centre of the boat to the ice, followed. We ran to the dark spot in the centre of the mass, and found two little boys, the head of the smaller resting 'n the bosom of the larger- both were fast asleep. The lethargy which would have been fatal but for the timely rescue had overcome them. Mr. Larkin grasped one of the lads, cut off his shoe?, tore off his jacket, and then. loosing his own garments to the s'dn, h'J plascd the cold child in contact with his own warn body, carefully wrapping over him his great coat, which he procured from the boat. I did the same with the other child; and we the ) returned to the boat, and the men, partially recovc-ied, pulled slowly back. The children, as we learned when we subse- quently had the delight, of restoring them to their parents, were playing on the ice, and had ventured on the cake, which had jammed into lhe bend of the river ten miles above New York. A movement of the tide set the ice in motion and the little fellows were borne away on that cold night and would inevitably have perished but. for Mr. Larkin's espying them as the ice was sweeping out to sen. "How do you feel?" said I to the mate the morning after the adventure. "A little stiff in the arms, captain." the noble fellow replied, while the big tears of grateful happiness gushed from his eyes-" a little stiff in the arms, captain, hnt very easy here," and he laid his hand on his manly- heart. My quaint, brave down-easter. He who hushes the sea into a fury, and lets loose the tempest, will care for tnee! The storm may rage without, but in thy bosom peace and sunshine abide always.
VINEGAR AND GOOSE.
VINEGAR AND GOOSE. Dr. Lenigar, a titular archbishop, a man of great wit, happened iu a mixed company to be introduced to a Mr. Swan, a gentleman "f a cyni- cal turn of mind, whose practice it was to attempt to raise a laugh at the expense of some of the company. They sat near each other at table, where the doctor engaged general atten- tion by his sprightly manner. Mr. Swan, to silence him, said: "Doctor, I forget your name." "Lenigar, sir," returned the Archbishop. "I ask your pardon," said Swan; "I have the mis- fortune scarcely ever to recollect names. You'll not be offended, therefore, if in the course of conversation I call you Dr. Vinegar." > "Ob, not at all, sir," returned the doctor. "I have the very same defect: and it is probable, though I now name you Swan, I may by and by call you Goose.
Quips and Cranks. .
Quips and Cranks. Miss Upperton: "I was so disappointed I was out the other day when you called, Miss Per- cival." Miss Percival: "So was I. I felt sure I'd find you. because as I turned the corner I saw you go in." The codfish," says the professor, "lays con- siderably more than a. million eggs." It is mighty lucky for the codfish that she doesn't have to cackle over every egg," said the student who came from the country. Kind Lady: "What a nice little girl you arc? Is your father in business in the City?" Little Girl: "Business? My papa doesn't have to bother about business!" "Ah! Gentleman of ic -,ire,then*?" "Yes, ma'am; he's a policeman." Rather a neat way of stating an awkward fact was adopted by a recent applicant for a pension. The applicant had been wounded while his regiment was in retreat, but he did not say it that way. "I received my wound," he said, "while marching rapidly in front ú; the enemy." Mrs. Kirlland: And why do you think, Mr. Donley, that the world is better now and more beautiful thai. it w:m 35 years ago?1 Mr. Donley (who is after her sweet daughter): Because;—because you were not in it then. Papa Kirt,land's objections to the young man have been ovcnwW* Is Mrs. Dismal orthodox?" "Ob, yes! I have often heard her say that she feared many people would be saved who didn't deserve it!" Lulu: Yes, I was introduced to him yester- day, and he told me I was the prettiest woman he had ever met. Celie: Ah. you see, I was only introduced to him this morning. ''I'm going to be a contortionist when I grow up," said little Johnny, proudly; "I'm in training now. so I want you to tell me what is the best thing for me to eat." "Green apples, my boy," chuckled the old man. » Over the triple doorway of the Cathedral of Milan there are three inscriptions spanning the splendid arches. Over one is carved a beau- tiful wreath of roses, and underneath is the legend: — All that pleases is but for a moment." Over another is sculptured a cross, and these are the words underneath: -"All that troubles is but for a moment." But under- Leath the great central entrance in the main aisle is the inscription: -That only is im- portant which is eternal." Tom: Skelter gave his seat in the tram car to a lady this morning. Dick: Oh, come now: don't impose' on my credulity. Tom: It's a fact. He tol(/ me afterwards that there was a hole in the window at the* back of him, and he was afraid ofO the draught. < "Did you ever stop to think, my love," said Mr. M., gazing at his plate of lobster salad "that the things we love most in life are the very things that never agree with is?" "Will you be so kind." said Mrs. M., straightening herself, "as to tell me whether you are speaking of the salad or of me, sir ?" A witness, who was very prolix, and tested the patience of the bench, jury, and even the counsel who had called him, was suddenly askec by the judge, "What is your business?" H( answered, "I lead the orchestra at a music-hall." "I thought," responded the judge, with a wearj look at the court-room clock, "that you must b an expert at beating time." Mahonv. the Irish wit, known as Father Prout," once called on a literary lady, whom he found conversing with a gentleman whose ltiiaiiiiers indicated his familiarity with good -society, but whose apparel betrayed his sloven- liness. "Did you not notice his well-bred ease any courily tone ?" asked the lady of Mahony, after the gentleman had left the room. "Yes,' growled the cynical wit, your friend can well afford to put some polish in his manner, for he keeps none for his boots." War is a frightful thing under all circum- stances, but probably no stranger reason for war or peace was ever recorded than has been noted by a French Governor of the South Pacific Colony of New Caledonia. This sportsman assumed his authority while the natives of New Caledonia were still cannibals. There had been rumours of an insurrection, and the admiral called before him a native chief wlio was faithful to the French cause, and questioned him as to their truth. You may be sure," said the native, "that there will be no war at present, be- cause the yams are not yet ripe." "The yams, you say?" "Yes. Our people never make war except when the yams are ripe." "Why is that?" "Becausc baked yams go so well with the captives:"
