Surely, he added addressing. the crowd,
“you who have braved so many storms,

‘It is because we are accustomed to the

Trevor turned awaiy-—thie crowd was
evidently of the old‘ ma'n”s opinion. For
one instant he thought of abandoning his
desperate undertaking: but casting his
eyes seaward he fancied he saw the form
of a sh-i-pi, crowded with human beings im-
plsrring help. He was aware it was only
a fancy, but it nerved hiim anew.
‘It will be but one more if I do perish,’
he said mentally. Then addressing the
old man again, he said-— ~ '
‘But where is the life boat 1’
‘Just under the bank,’ was the reply, ‘in
its shed: but it has been out of use so
long that it is scarcely sea worthy. Take
an. old» man’s advice, who means you well,
but do not tempt providence.’
"I know you mean no -offence, Mr. Simp-
son,’ sail Trevor, addressing the old man
by his namc—‘but I am resolved to go ;—
and I will give fifty dollars to any one who
will help to man the boat. Come, Moore,
Johnson, Stevens—will none of you go '1’
There was a dead silence for a minute,
at length a voice spa‘ e—
‘You seem to know us sir, and your offer
is liberal; but money can’t buy us. If

young man was seen approaching from the
bluff. ‘You'll go with your old ‘playmate,
Fred Trevor, to see if some of these poor

seizing the speaker’s hand eagerly and giv-

head as he looked seivard, ‘though it is :1

In these words the young man slmtclietl
his character better than we could do in a
page. He was one of those gencrousand
daring spirits that ever set cold calculation
at defiance; and having by his boldness
"0l1l€"9d more than one deed which older
heads had regarded as impossible, he had

vices.
‘The’ sky is brightening,’ said Mr. Siinp-
son, when he saw‘ that his opposition was
fruitless, ‘but if you would wait till morn-
ing, your chance of success would be
greater.’
‘No, no,’ said Jack Wharton as they
proceeded to launch the life boat. ‘Now
or never,’ is an old and good motto; and
Mr. Trevor, who leads us. is as much ofa
sailor as any man here. I know little of
you sir, begging your pardon, he said frank-
ly, though somewhat abruptly; ‘but I sup-
pose you can pull an oar- If not, and a
pretty stout one too, you’d better stay at

‘Oh, I can do my share,’ said the young
m=-an’, now without a trace of Ilin indiffer-

‘Are you all ready,’ said Trever.
‘Ay! ay I’ was the quick response.
He gave the word ; the boat was launch-

a short but desperate Struggle the light
craft breasted the waves and was soon

Towards this terrible bar the ship, which

was with a jar that flung the sailors from

The after partof the vessel still remained,
however, though every wave broke over it.
The three passengers, with the captain and
the remainder of the crew, were collected
together under the ice of the round house
partially protected from the surge.
‘How long do you think the stern will
hold together '!’ said Mr. Palmer addressing
the captain.
' ‘Not long, I fcar—an hour at rnost.;——
probably not five minutes,’ he replied In 11
whisper.
The father made no reply, but pressed
his child closer to his bosom. 'I he captain
continued-— -
‘I fear they have not heard us on shore,
or will do nothing in our aid. Your only

But before Mr. Palmer could reply a
groaning was heard in the timbers below,
and the crew crying that the stern was
going to pieces, made a rush for the boat,
which I-lied before it touched the water.
IVIr. Palmer arose instantly and hurried to
the ship’s side, but before he reached it the
men had pushed off. In vain the captain
called to his mutinous crew to return--
fear was more powerful with them than
humanity—tliey bent their ours to the
water and the boat shot of toward the
land.
‘They will ,not go far,’ said the captain.

As he spo' e, a fearful cry arose. The

sunk, not a living soul was seen. Alone
of all that vessels living freight, the cap-
tain and his three passengers remain alive.
‘They surely must have heard our guns
from the shore——wliy do they not light a
fire as a signal in reply '1’ said Mr. Palmer.
‘Alas I’ answered the captain, ‘few who.
strike on the l_‘ea(lmen's Slioal-—and I fear
there is where we are-—ever live till assist-
ance can be rendered them. The shoremen
no doubt tliink us all dead. If the wreck
holds together till morning an effort may
be madegto save us.’
‘And _VOll:i.llil'Il{ it will not hold together
till then 1’ said Mrs Montague, speaking
for the first time since the disaster.
‘It is a miracle we have‘ held together
so long,’ replied the captain, and wishing
to cheer her, be continued, ‘but having
resisted till now, I am in hopes we shall
hold out longer than I thought possible at
first.’
They now relapsed into silence. VVho

the bosom of each as that \vcary night
wore on, and they sat there, on the expo-
sed deck, trembling every moment lest the
next wane should submerge tlicui. This
was the storm with wliicli the captain
playfully had promised to gratify Miss
Palmer.
The wind stillblew with violence. The
waves chased each other through the
gloom, their crests flasliirig ghost-like a-
cross thc darkness; while the terrific thun-
der of the surf, breaking on the bar around
them, appalled the heart. Now and then
a gigantic roller would be seen coming in
toward the ship, its vast from rising high
over nli surrounding waves, towering and
towering as it approziched, iiniil finally it
would plunge headlong down upon the
wreck, burying the. round house for a ino-
incnt, completely out of sight. One of
these huge blows had nearly swept the lit-
tle crcw from their shelter, and cvcn the
veteran oflicer trembled for the result of
another surge, when Mary suddenly ex-

‘If iIll'TC are human beings nigh, they
can hear us better than we can them, for

if they are near they will answer.’
With these words the captain, placing
his hands to his mouth, so as to make a
sort of speaking trumpet, cried at the top
of his luiigs——

The ill-atieiiwaii factory on the creek, in

ltaxcs from 1828 to 1544-, (16 years) $33,

or the amount paid by 35 farmers of 100
acres, which $22000, is just so much mon-

‘thing from the means of the farmer. The

The next day dawned fair and smiling.
The sky had cleared off and the sun shone
brightly. Birds were glancing to and fro,
dipp7ng their white wings in the surf, and
then shooting to the sky, where they went
screaming down the wind. The first look
of Trevor, as he left the ion, was turned in
tliedirection of the Deadman’s Shoal. The
surf bro‘-c fiercely there, flinging its spray
far up toward the sky; but no vestige of
the wreck was visible. Had it not been
for the still enormous lillows that rolled
thundering in upon the strand, and the
fragments of the wreck strewn everywhere
along the beach, the events of the last
night would have seemed to him like a
dream.

from gratitude, and it must have been so
in this case, for before a two-ilvcmonth had
passed, the ne\\'spapc.rs announced the mar-
riage of Frederici Trevor, Esq. to Mary,
only daughter and co-heir of the lion. Ed-

her taking captive his heart.

The court room was crowded to suffocation-

\Vlien the gay Lothario appeared, the plaintiff
looked Iightiiing and rain at him, and the audi-
’ enco rose on tiptoc to see the breaker ofhearts,
(whose money was to repair the mischief behad
: done. But somehow the case did n’t;soem to go
ahead very fast. Judge \Villi:ims sat leaning
, iunining the external appearance of the plaintiff
’ to discover exactly what sum would be necessa-
'ry to make her broken heart: as good «as new;
the audience were getting impatient—t.ho law-
lyers looking wondrous wisc—and every thing in
| a state of uncertainty. At length Mr. Booth af-
iwhich slio was semi to gesticulate very vehe-
inently, sat down mid rapidly wrote about half‘
a-dozen lines on a strip ofpapcr and handed it’
to Mr. Bissell, counsel for the defendant. Mr.
,‘Bissell looked at the paper, put on his, specta-
cles and looked again, frowned, shook his head,
so]. Mr. Hawley twisted the paper corner-
ways. looked at its hack, road it over, looked at
Booth, who was watching him with a broad
suiile on his face, read it over again, whispered
to Mr. Bissell, both read it over again, laughed,
nodded at each ot.lic.r,liaudcd it back to Mr. Booth,
wliispercd something in his car, then all leaned
buck and laughed most, lieartzily. Mr. Booth
then took the paper and showed it; to his client;
she smiled graciously and the legal gentleman
sent it off into the lobby to the defendant, who
speedily sent it back again with his own name
added to it, by which it was \vl1ispci'cd he prom-
ised to pay the plaintiff, Alice’ Reynolds, $800
and costs ofsuit, if she would only let him alone
and never trouble him more. By this time the
audience was in a perfect fever; “they To set-
tling it,” was whispered about, and fair faces
grew sour, men cursed, and everybody looked
daggers at the lawyers. The judge rose and
told the jury that as the parties had arranged
their own matters, they, thejury, might. go home.
The confusion that; followed is indescribable-
soine swore, some laughed, and one good old
maiden lady, who had come to hcarhow hearts
were wooed, and won and broken by man’s
treachery, actually fainted at the disappointment.
