THE casinos The CRISIS.
A “Companion Piece” to Mr. Hamilton’s
sermon to young women :
Broken, and crushed and, sad,
Father comes home at night; _
Rogues have stript him of all that he bad,
And his hair is thin and white;
Bravely he toils all the day,
And thinks that we do not see
His heart in his mouth when he looks the
u ay
0: mother and Winnie and me.
Wo -k with the hand or the head,
With n idle or broom or quill,
Daily wo:k for my daily bread—-
Work I must have, and I will,
I have youth, and health. and brains,
They said I was clever at school;
O‘.hers are earning their honest gains,
And why should I sit here and pale?
I know ll at he does not care
For th: lost that is no more new,
Or the dingy hous -, or the scanty fare,
If he could but pay all men their due ;
But itpains him to think that we
May not lounge in our easy.chairs,
With music, and novel, and afternoon tea,
And g03sip of others’ affairs.
0, if he only just knew
How weary I was of all that!
How I longed for a life that was earnest and
true,
And some useful work to be at!
I heed not what people may say;
All the bondage of fashion I scorn ; .
To bring girls up in that idiot way —
It were better they never were born.
But what can I do P I could teach ;
But scores will be eager to try
With their music, and German, and French,
and each
Far better to do it than I,
I had nice nimble fingers of o’d
For trimming a bonnet or gown ;
But now folks will find better use for their
gold \
Than to flaunt in gay dress about town.
I know I could tidy a room,
And give it a lady like-look;
And I’m almost sure I could handle a
broom,
And iron :1 little, and cook;
But I must beat home every night-
To kiss him and plague him awhile,
And comb the old hair that is thin now, and
white,
And send him to bed with a smile.
Work! 0, dear, what can I00?
I hurt my soft hand and it bled;
And I wish it were roughened, and blis-
tered too.
If it would only win me my bread ;
Yet I shrink from the girls at the mill ;
_ I watched them last night in the dark
Coming out, and it smote my weak heart
with a chill;
But I could be a telegraph clerk.
Sick! I am weary and sick,
Ever fretting for something to do ;
O, wouldn’t I work my nails to the quick,
Father and mother, for you ?
Ye are dearer than ever to me,
So meek, and gentle and brave;
But your shadows grow long, and I seem to
see
Them creeping close to a grave.
Work with hand or head,
With broom or needle or quill;
Dally work for my daily bread—
Any true work thatyou will!
0, just for a week tolhave Itoiled,
And to give him my wages and kiss,
Saying, father, dear father, my hands may
be soiled,
But my heart is purer for this.

Disease in Connecticut.
The report of the State Board of Health
for the month of December last shows that
pneumonia was quite prevalent in Hartford
during thqmonth, nine deaths having oc-
curred. There has been no prevailing epi-
demic either in Hartford or New Haven. In
the latter city there were quite a number of
deaths from membraneous croup and a few
from dipthcria.
There were a few cases of typo-malarial
fever in Salisbury early in December. The
history of malarial disease in that region is
interesting. Three years ago it appearcdin
Ashley Falls, Mass, eight miles above Salis-
bury on the Housatonic' river, and every
house on both sides of the river down to
Fall’s Village, a distance of nine miles,'has
been infested with :some form of malarial
fever. Typhoidomalarial first appeared in
the fullof 1878. There was only one case
Of cerebro-spinal meningitis in Salisbury in
December, and one also in Collinsville.
Scarlet fever, diptheria ‘and croup have also
been somewhat prevalent in the latter place,
although not epidemic. Scarlet fever and
diptheria have also appeared in- Avon, and
scarlet fever in Portland.
Typhoid fever has been very prevalent in.
Williugton during, the fall and winter al-
though of not a sevcre, form, In Union-
villc dipthcrin, intermittent and typho-mn-
larial fevers have occurred. 4 There was also -
more or less pneumonia in this place in
December. .
The only form of disease that has assumed
cdidemic proportions in December, as re-
ported, is a form of influenza, which seems
to have been pretty universally difiused over
the State, and accompanied with a tendency
to pneumonia of a catarrhal character, dif-
fering considerably from the acute, well
marked form of pneumonia. The slow,
insidious form, more often associated with
the depressing influences 'of dcvitalized air,
has perhaps been more noticeable in the cities
'as the cold has compelled a closer herding of
the poorer classes. . ._ , . ..
In North Stoningtondiptheria was very
prevalent, and ninegenideatlis, all-children,
are reported. The disease appeal-edge be
sporadic and originated undergthe conditions
above alluded to. There, were twenty-four
deaths during the year from ,zymotic dis-
eases, 50 per cent. ofvthe.total-_.mortality in
that town are equal to the whole number
of deaths reported in 18.78,: The death
rate for 1878 was in excessof that of most
American cities, being twenty-eight per
thousand.
The case in a family in Granby illustrate
the retention of the contagion. The family
lived in a miserable, filthy hovel, and in
the spring of ’78 the father and several others
of' the family died of diptheria. On the
approach of very cold weather the bedding
then used was brought into requisition again,
when the disease reappeared, attacking suc-
cessively the whole family, and taking off
two out of three remaining. As the but
was isolated, and there was little or no com-
munication’with neighbors, the disease did
not spread.
The method of the transportation of this
disease and the theory of its increased viru-
lence by successive transmission were well
illustrated in a series of cases in New Haven
county, as reported by. the physician in
charge. A lady visitor from a region where
diptheria has been prevalent, had herself a
mild attack of sore throat, hardly requiring
treatment. About a week after her arrival
three of the children were attacked and one'
died. All the adults of the family were
more or less severely attacked. One of
them meanwhile had left for a visit to a
neighboring town and was there attacked.
After the usual period of ineuabtion the chili
dren 0f the family were seized with diptb-
eria and one died. The disease than attack-
ed the adults, with one fatal result. This
series of cases was very carefully studied by
a very intelligent observer; the houses were
in an unusuallyng sanitary condition and
all other probable causes of contagion were
weathered-

Compulsory Pilotagc.
3 ,Hon. A. A” Hardenbergh of New Jersey,
$1138 ““011 ‘1ch in. the House a bill of great
iinterest and impedance to the people of all
Ithc maritime towns of the New England
{States It provides that no agent, owner
:or consignee of any vessel duly enrolled and
licensed and engaged in the coasting trade
or in fishing, shall, by virtue of the laws
of the State of New York, be compelled
totake, employ or pay a pilot not ,voluu-
tarily employed on entering or departing
from the port of New York by the way of
East river. Section 8 of article 1 of the
constitution provides that Congress shall
regulate commerce among the several States,
and that no preference shall be given by any
regulation of commerce to the ports of one
State over those of another, nor shall ves-
sels bound to and from one state be obliged
to enter, clear, or pay duties in another.
Yet, in spite of this plain provision of the
constitution, the State of New York has
for a long series of years imposed a most
onerous burden in the shape of compulsory
pilotage upon the commercial marine of
the‘eastern states navigating her waters.
Nothing can be more plain than that any ar-
bitrary imposition of a tax upon the coast-
ing trade or the fisheries by means of pilot
laws which enforce service with tax for the
same or enforce a tax without a service is
a contravation of this article of the consti-
tution. The entrance to New York harbor
through Hell Gate channel has for years
been subject to an enforced pilotage of fifty
cents per foot on the depth of water drawn
by coasting vessels and fishermen passing
through that channel. The availbility of
steam tug boats long ago obviated the need
Of pilots which may have existed in former
times, and many of the regular coasting and
fishing skippers are as well acquainted with
the channel as the pilots themselves, and
with a free wind can safely make the run.
There is no objection to the pilots but to
the arbitrareregulations that compels masters
of vessels to take them and pay full pilot-
age; ‘or, if they do not need them, to
compel them to pay half pilotage for no
service whatever. Often, when vessels are
being towed up by a steam tug they are
spoken by the pilots and compelled to pay
half pilotage. This tax is co'nsidered so
onerous that 'eastern vessels often go out
around Long Island by Sandy Book to avoid
its payment. If the coastwise and fishing
trade is to be subjected to these taxes,
those largely interested in the business do-
clare that, with the present low rates of
freight and depressed condition of the fish
market, it will be impossible for them to
make any profit. The United States long
since rescinded the tonnage on all coasting
and fishing vessels, requiring them simply
to be enrolled and licensed, but still per-
mits these oppressive local taxes in some
7 _ ports while there are none in others. A
New York coaster or fisherman can, we are
informed enter any of the ports or harbors
in New England without being subjected to
enforced pilotage, but all vessels from New
England ports, without destination, are sub.
jectcd to the tax when entering New York
harbor by the Hell Gate channel. ThiI
is argued, with good reason, that if New
York may impose a tonnage or pilot tax on
domestic commerce, so can every maritime
State, and the coasting and fishing business
thus be left to the mercy of Statelegisla-
tion, contrary to the constitution, and in
contravention to the power of the general
government. It should be stated in this
connection that there is no benefit of insur-
ance resulting from the employment of these
East River pilots; on the contrary, the em—
ployment of a steam tug (whose charges are
'usually less than the pilot fees) makes her
responsible for any damage to the vessel.
Sinc e the introduction of Mr. Hardenbergh’s
bill a movement has been made in several of
the Massachusetts seaport, towns to co-
operate with him in securing the action of
Congress upon the matter, looking to the
repeal of thc‘New York law, and depositions
are beingfitaken at Gloucester and other
ports for the purpose of enabling him to en
lighten Congress as to the extent of the injury
done to commerce by the unjust exactions of
this law.
The Hell Gate pilots should not be con—
founded with the regular outside pilots of
New York harbor. whose energy, during and
skill are well known to every sailor, but the
objection is to the “dock pilots,” who do not
earn, in the estimation of those whom they
pretend to serve,the money which is extortcd
from a class of persons .who can ill afford to
pay.
A Great Question for Humanity.
The Physioo-Medfcal Recorder of Cincin-
nati, in a thoughtful article with the above
title, says : “The ‘liquor interest’ is rapidly
growing into a moral and physical blight to
our country. On one hand it corrupts and
endangers our political liberties. On the
other hand it bears down true hearts, bright
minds, strong bodies and throws them as
'wrcclis upon society. No person so deeply
knows and understands the ,cxtent of this
blight as the physician. And no one so
well as he understands that tampering with
mild drinks is concentrated folly, and that
any attempt at ‘regulating’ the tragic is
little short of public idiocy. Corporations
have but one ‘regulation’ against the en-
croachment of the yellow fever. They do
not license certain vessels to import it from
New Orleans and Grenada to Vicksburg
and Memphis, and so make the disease em.
inently ‘respectablc’, Quarantine regula-
ttions make a clean sweep of, and protect
be healthy citizens by the total prohibition
of infected vessels. In a like sweeping
manner should it protect decent people and
the rising generation from the fatal liquor
contamination. While humanly caring for
the deceased bodies and souls of those now
stricken down with drink,let the fatalsupply
be stopped by a moral quarantine that shall
enforce total prohibition.
The Democrat? Revolution.
The attempt of the Democrats to engraft
upon the appropriation bills new legislation
to reverse or stop the wheels of goyernment
is revolutionary in the highest degree, but
one short step being open between it and
armed rebellion. The presept purpose of
the Southern Democracy is to force upon
an appropriation bill a repeal of the laws
regulating the election of President and
members of Congress, and the securing of
their fair and honest election. This is an
inherent right of all parliamentary'bodies.
It is secured to it by the constitution of the
United States, the same as the right inheres
to State governments under the State con—
stitutions to provide for the election of State
officers. The authority of the Federal Gov-
ernment is indisputable in this regard. It
is a wise and just provision, and one which
cannot be elintutcd without endangering
the healthy structure of the Government.

Two NATIV’ES or CONNECTICUT DEAD.—
Mr. James S. Rockwell of Brooklyn, New
York. whose death was announced by tele-
graph Saturday morning, was of the firm
obJ. S. Rockwell & 00., Cliff street, New
York, importers and dealers in fine leathers.
'He wasa Connecticut man by birth, and
was a son of Theron Rockwell of Colebrook.
His brother, the Hon. John T. Rock-
well of Winsted, was formerly engaged in
business with him in New York, but rc-
tired several years ago. He was a man
who possessed clcar business perceptions
and was very successful in all his enter-
prises. It is estimated that he leaves a for.
'tune of between two and} three millions of
dollars. His age was sixty years.
Another Connecticut man, Roswell C.
Brainard also died in Brooklyn last week.
He was a native of East Haddam and stud-
ied law with IDavid Dudley Field and took
up his residence in Brooklyn, twenty-seven
years ago. He was active asademocratic
politician, and held numerous local offices,
including for one term that of corpora-
tion counsel. I-Iis age was fifty eight.—

MILE-1N 'rwo mamas. - '
(Spirit of the Times.)
The intense popular interest in every
feathery fraction of a second plucked from
the wings of time by our truly American
quadrupedal institution can scarcely be over-
estimated, and therefore, speculations as to
the ultimate speed of the trotter are natur-
ally ihdulged in, and there~are few subjects
upon which intelligent turfman differ. They
may be divided into two extreme classes at
present; the conservatives, who from time
immemorial have believed, and still believe,
that trotting speed has reached high-water
mark, and the sanguine, who expect to live
to see the day when two minutes to the mile
will represent the fastest 'flight of the trotter.
There are shoals of middle men who fix arbi-
trary figures, like 2:12, 2:10, 2:08, for the ul-
mate speed at this gait. It is with consider-
able confidence that we write ourselves down
among the sanguine class, and there are sev-
eral reasons for the faith that is in us.
In the first place. history teaches us that
progress in this respect, though‘ meeting
with long and frequent interruptions, is on
the whole continuous. It was in the year
1818 that the gray gelding Boston Blue was
matched to trot a mile in three minutes, and
won, and there are still many living who
can recall the wonder with which the
news of that achievement, was received
throughout the land, but it was not long be—

became plentiful, and so rapid was the pro-
gress that in 1833, Edwin Forrest trotted a
mile, under saddle, in 2:31}. No conserv-
ative could then be induced to believe that
2:30 would ever be beaten, but in ten years
time Lady Suffolk trotted her mile in 2:28,
under saddle, and lat:cr reduced it to 2:27}.
This stood at the head of the list for ten
years, when Taconv eclipsed it, by one
second, and Flora Temple, in her turn, re-
duced the time to 2:245. This was in 1856,
and that little' more successively lowered
the best record to 2:22, and in 1859 to 2:19§,
being the first trotter to accomplish amile
better than 2:20. It was not until 1867,
eight years, later that Dexter was able to
take the crown of the turf by trotting in
217%, and he wore it for four years, when
Goldsmith Maid trotted in 2:17, a record
which she lowered in 1872 to 2:16:1‘, and in
1874 to 2:16, 2:1553 2;14§-, and finally 2:14,
in rapid succession. Four years more elaps-
ed bcforc Rarus clippcdafraction Of a second
from the time of Goldsmith Maid. This
rapid review shows well enough for our pur-
poses with intervals of time there have been
between the several reductions in the records
for one mile by a trotter, bllt it must be
borne in mind that,'while it may take years
for the phenomenon to appear who can
eclipse all predecessors, the number of those
who crowd upon the heels of the reigning
king or queen of the turf continually in-
creases. No sooner does a champion set a
mark forward than a spirit of emulation in-
spires all followers to reach and surpass it
and it is the varying law of life that the one
must succumb to the many.
But it is not so much a study of history,
and a belief that progress which has been
steady for over sixty years
WILL NOT now COME TO a DEAD sror,
that causes us to rank ourselves among the
sanguine ones as to the ultimate speed of the
trotting horse, as it is our faith in the ca-
pacity Of the animal. Afterjall theories as
to breeding and form are exhausted, the fact
remains that the question how fast a horse
can ever trot a mile depends upon length
of stride and rapidity in picking up the feet,
coupled with the endurance to go the route
at top speed. So much depends, to our
mind, upon the first of these qualifications,
that we cannot permit ourselves to doubt
that the “coming horse" will be big gaited,
and prdbably, a long-limbed animal. We
have seen a Glostcr or a Great Eastern ap-
parently slouching along at a 2:40 gait
though really doing twenty seconds better
while a little Adelaide or Hannah D. peg-
ging away for dear life, and seeming to take
two steps to their one, could with difficulty
keep even with them. Were the big horses
able to lift their feet as fast as the little
mares, how dierl‘ent their record would be
at the end of the mile! Let a horse appear
with a stride only One foot 'IOnger than that
of “Rams." but able to take them as fre-
quently and to maintain his speed to the
end, and he will out nearly seven seconds
from the record of the king of the tllrf.
We have confidence that such a horse, and
even faster ones, are hidden in the womb
of time. It cannot reasonably be doubted
that, on several occasions, quarters have
been trotted in thirty seconds, and the man
seems to us blind to the progress of the ages
who doubts that one will yet appear who
can trot not only one, but four quarters, at
that rate of speed. It may be long to wait,
but we believe at least that the child is born
who will live to see it. There is a linlit, of
course, to the speed Of any creature of flesh
and blood, but the limit of the speed of the
trotting horse, to our view, still vanishes like
the mist of dawn.

Charles Dykeman a handsome, auburl_i°-
haired youth, was the son Of an East Rock-
away farmer. Three years ago he bought a
puppy, half Newfoundland and half hunting
breed, for which be cherished extraordinary
regard. IIc fed him with his own hand,
attended to his wants, and would allow no
one to molest him nor to interfere with his
comfort. The dog in turn evinced, it seem-
ed, the utmost affcction and gratitude for
this kind treatment. He followed his mas-
ter everywhere, and would eat from no other
hand than his. He capered and barked
with extravagant joyzwhcnever Charley ap-
peared.
In the middle of last December young
Dykeman died, and being very popular, had
a large funeral. The procession had scarcely
moved before a large black dog with a rope
around his neck, and a piece of broken rope
dangling from it, jumped from the roadside
and dashing by the rear carriagefstationed
himself, panting, under the hearse. His
shaggy coat was covered with mud and torn
with bricrs. - -
“It’s Charley's dog 1" exclaimed a dozen
persons who had seen the animal in his mas-
ter's lifetime, and who knew him well.
How he had managed to get loose ho one
could tell. Every effort to coax him from
under the hearse failed, and he was allowed
to remain there. During the whole of the
seven miles’ journey the dog toiled wearily
on thrOugh the mud and slush, never parting
company with the hearse until it reached the
little cemetery in the rear of the Presbyterian
Church in Hempstead. After the earth had
been smoothed over the grave, and the last
monrner had quitted the cemetery, the dog
Sprung from behind a bush, and, with a long
howl, sank down on the newly made mound.
He lay over the head of the grave in a'
crouching attitude, with his fore paws ex-
tended and his head buried between them.
Darkness came on, but he did not stir.
The cold increased, yet he lay stretched out
upon the damp earth, and refused to move.
All night he remained there. When, early
the next morning, a wondering lad froma
house across the street crept into the little
churchyard, he found the dog cold and half
frozen, at his post.
Ever since, day and night, in cold and rain
the poor dog has remained faithful at his
past. He has been repeatedly taken away
only to return. During the intense cold of
Friday, January 3, when the thermometer fell
to 4 below zero, and icy blasts swept over
the Hempstead plains, the dog lay.for ten
hours on his master's grave. ,When the dog
is absent from the grave in search of food,
no one seems to know where he goes

Over the Banister-s.
[Chicago Inter-Ocean]
Over the banisters bonds a face.
,. . .
Damngly sweet and beguiling;
Somebody stands in careless grace.
AntI watches the picture, smiling,
The light burns dim in the hall below ;
Nobody sees her standing,
Saying good night again, soft and low,
Half way up the landing.
Nobody, only the eyes of brown,
Tender and full of meaning,
That smile on the fairest face in town,
Over the banisters leaning.
Tired and sleepy, with drooping head,
I wonder why she lingers,
And when all the good nights are said!
Why, somebody holds her fingers~
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing bolder,
Till her loose hair drops it masses brown
Like a mantle over his shoulder.
Over thebanisters soft hands fair
Brush his cheek like a feather;
Bright brown tresses and dusky hair
Meet and mingle together.

She has flown like a bird from the hall-

How Mrs. Logan Gathered them
‘ in. .
An Illinoisan has given me an account of
Mrs. Gen. Logan's manner Of catching gud-
gcon—ycleped members of the Illinois legis-
lature. It is a beautiful, elegant sort of fish-
ing. There is no pea-jacket required, no rub-
ber boots, no ugly hook catching into one‘s
fingers, no disagreeable bait. Izaack Walton
would have been ashamed at his bungling
methods if he could have witnessed hers.
This fair fisherwoman clothes herself in silk
and lace; at the proper time she moves into
the neighborhood of the fish (Springfield,
Ill.) She takes parlors at the first hotel,
quietly procurcs the names of the various
gudgeon, and studies up their private histo
ry; then, assembling her friends about her
from day to day, waits for the fish to come
into her net, and she does not wait long.
Gudgeonolike, in they come. Thinking them-
selves very shrewd, believing that any time
they can withdraw, counting on their power
of resistance to burst the meshes. in they
sail, smiling, flu in fin. Here comes a huge
fellow the fair angler has been waiting for.
She knows all about him; more than he
knows about himself. ”Why, Dr. Clark,
how do you do? I wondered if you were
coming to see me. I was so glad when I
heard you had been re-elected, though of
course I knew you would be. How is Mrs.
Clark '1’" And so she runs on, giving him his
fill of flattery. He wonders how she knew
he was Dr. Clark. He was pleased to find
this brilliant lady so greatly interested in him
and his, but, before he has had time to gather
together his dazzled and tickled wits,the siren
voice proceeds; “Let me help you to a cup
of coffee, Doctor. Do you take sugar? Here
are a couple of good lumps. Doctor, you are
going to voteLfor my husband—are you not?
Now you will—won’t you 1” And the gut]-
geon says yes. And a few moments later, as
he goes away, he says to his friend who call-
ed with him: “Why, do you know whatI
have done? Why, I told Mrs. Logan I would
vote for her husband, and when I went in
there I fully intended to vote against him. I
had no idea she would ask me outright, and
I said ‘ycs’ from politeness, before I thought
what I waé doing. And I can’t go back on
my promise to a woman." And so he votes
for “my husband."
How Smelt are Caught in Maine.
On the coast of Maine smells visit the
rivers about the 20th of December and re-
main almost all winter. For about two
months they take the hook readily, and are
caught in considerable numbers through
holes cut in the ice. Formerly, on cold
days, it was very severe fishing without
shelter, except by piling up czikes of ice,
evergreen boughs,&c. Last winter one of the
fishermen made a canvas tent, and it proved
to be so comfortable that it has now become
the universal custom to fish in them. There
are now on the ice, above the bridges, two
villages of these canvas houses, , much re-
sembling an Indian encampment in winter
quarters. A light wooden frame with a
sharp roof, is put together, and the whole
covered with a light canvhs or cotton cloth.
In some instances the covering is painted,
the better to resist the piercing north-west
winds. The ordinary tent is about six
feet square ,occaslonally one is larger, for
two persons. The interior is provided with
a stove, and a bench upon which the an-
glcr sits while fishing. The whole rests
upon runners, and can be easily moved from
place to place. When the fisherman reaches
the grounds he cuts a hole through the ice,
places his tent over the same, builds a fire,
closes thcfirop, drops his lines through the
hole and waits for bites. Each man uses
four lines. The bait used in this vicinity
is the clam worm, which is found in clam
flats. The upper end of the line is fasten-
ed to a pole above the fisherman’s h'ead,
while the hook is from six to ten feet
below the surface. The fisherman sits on
his bench besides the stove, and patiently
awaits for the fish to bite. There ,is not
much skill in this kind Of angling, for when
a smelt takes.the hook the motion of the line
conveys the fact to the fisherman, and he
quickly hauls him in. The fish bit‘e better
on cold. stormy days. From 10 to 15
pounds is a fair days work for one man.—

The Struggles of Outlawry.
The reason why the democracy insist
upon an early repeal of the Federal election
law is obvious. It stands in the way of the
practice of intimidation, bull-dozing, and
ballot-box stuffing, which have been inaugu-
rated in the South in the interest of the
Democratic party, and to retain that law is
to lessen the chances of corrupting the elec-
tive franchise with proper punishment
therefor. The Louisville Courier—Journal
denounces the election law as: an engine Of
“tyranny and injustice,” for the reason that
reputable citizens, as the South counts rc-
spectability, are being punished for its open
and palpable violation. This furnishes addi-
tional evidenc‘iat the violators of law and
the abettors thereof never cultivate a high
respect for restraining enactments.
This law is in the interest Of fair and bon—
est elections, without which, as a controlling
power, a republican form of government can-
not but put on health. strength, vigor, and
longevity. The stability of a republican
form of government rests largely upon the
purity & the elective franchise, for that is
really the foundation of power.
A Beautiful Instant.
A naval ofilcer being at sea in a dreadful
storm, his wife sitting in the cabin near him
filled with alarm for the safety of the vessel,
was so surprised at his serenity and compos-
ure that she cried out:
“My dear, are you not afraid ? How is it
possible you can be so calm in such a dread-
ful storm 1’”
He rose from his chair, dashed it to the
_ deck, drew his sword, and pointing it to the
breast of his wife, exclaimed :
“Are you‘not afraid ll"
“No l” she immediately replied.
“Why 1’" inquired the officer.
“Because," replied his wife, “I know that
the sword is in the hands of my husband, and
heloves me to well too hurt me'" .
“Then,” said he, “I know in whom I I
believe, and He who holds the winds in His
hand is my Father."
