 1 days that are only to be witnessed in the east; there was not single cloud 10 break the blue expanse of the heavens, or intercept the burning raJs Of the sun, as they dafted fiercely down upon the water, which seemed almost to rise in vapors from their heat; ard poor Frank was now lying exposed to all their in- huence with no shelter ter his burning head, and not a drop of water to cool his parched tongue. About noon-day ne saw speek of white upon the ut- most verge of the sea, and he soon dis covered that 1t was sail; but he was again doomed to suffer disappointment. l 5ts fl bore away without conaing within many miles of him. Evening was fast approaching, and he began already to anticipate the horrors of another nipllt exposed to the mercy of the waves: since, thoughhe was drifting towards the shores he was stili too far distant to reach 1t before another day had passed. Hun ger too, was fast assailing him, as he had eaten nothing since the morning previ- ous; but terror kept 1t some time aloof. Again it occurred to him, that the spot where he was floating abounded with sharks, and once or twice, when he saw a piece of dark eolored wood floating past him, he tancied il the fin Of one of those sareesosss animals which is tre- quently apparentabove the water. whilst the hungry monster is gliding close be- heath the surface of the sea. He deem- ed himself deserted both by God and man; fer he had nc confidence t look for help from the one, and no relief to hope for from the other. To add to his dismay he found that the wind was be- ginning to increase, and he feared that a tempest, should it ensue, would be but a speedy termination of his torsnents. as he had not enough of strength remain ing to buffet with tine stormy waves.--- lie prepared to resign himself to his fate; and with a faint and fearing heart he addressed afervent prayer to Heaven to entreat its protection, not as an act of favor to him who was so unworthy of if. but of mercy to his sorrowing and deso- late mother: he then leaned his burning cheek against the plank on which his safety depended, and closing his wearied eyes, he abandoned himself 10 the care of that God whose protection he had humbiy, though unworthily, implored. In this state of torpor ard inaction. Frank had remained for about q. hes..r. when his ear was struck by the report ofa gunat no great distance; he started. and on raising his head he saw large boat, impellea by oars, standing towards him, and not more than two or three miles distant; the wind was fresh, and having suddenly rounded one of the headlands of the island, it had appeared to him thus unexpectedly; he immedi- ately raised himself as far as he could above the water, and waved his arm as a signal for them to draw near to his rescue. 1t was some time before they ! observed it, but he eventually saw them haul round, and pull towards him. In a few moments they drew near, and Frank was pulled up the side of their little vessel

A PRINTERS ARGUMENT.

A subscriber to one of the eastern papers, a few years ago, being sadly in arrears for the same, promised tic cdi- tor, that if his life was spared to cer- tain day, he would, without fail, dis charge his biii. I'hfe day passed and the bill was not paid. The natural con- clusion therefore was, that the man was dead--absolutely defunct. Proceeding on this conclusion, the editor in his next paper, placed the name of the delinquent under his obituary head, with the ate tending circumstances of the time and place. Pretty soon after the announce ment, the subject of 1t appeared to the editor-not with pale ghastly coante- nance usually ascribed to apparitions-- but with face as red as scarlet. Nci~ ther did it, like other separations, wait to be first spoken to, but broke silence with-ssssyshat the devil, sir, did you mean by publishingmy death Why, sir, the same that mean when l publish the death of any other person, viz: to let the world know that you were dead." ---.' Wei, but I'll bs cdd if l s,rIi dead.n Notdead! thenits yourown fault, for you told me you would positively pay your bIll by such day, ii you lived tiff iii that time. The day is passed, the bill is not paid, and you must positively be dead---for will not believe you would forfeit your word, o no. Isee you have got round me MT. Editor-but say no more about it; here's the money. And, hearkee, you wag, just contradict my death next week, will youp Oh certain ly! just to please you, though upon my word, can't help thinking you died at the time specified, and that you have merely come back to pay this bill, on ac- count of your friendship for me-"

During the night, no sound disturbed his meditation save the ripple of the sea that swept him along, and no object met his gaze throughout the dull expanse of the ocean, except here and there the gleam of a distant wateh-ilre on some lonely island. Long ere 1t was mid night, he fancied the morn must soon be breaking; and when hour after hour elapsed, he thought the sun was never more to rise; for the thoughts and the agony of his mind had made that weary night appear the length of years ill its duration. 1t last faint line ot light began to streak the eastern horizon, aud as the sun rose gently from the sea, lss found that he had drifted far from the scene of yesterday 'sferrific catastrophe. On his left was an island apparently of considerable dimensions, and he could descrv the white walls of 9 building on the summit of one of the loffiest crags; but as vet TO ship was visible on either side. Shortly after sun rise he saw a white sail put off from the shore, but as it only kept along the coast, he knew that 1 it was merely fishing boat, and in about an hour he observed it slowly return ing.
