ment Of the larger vessel, which they al
ready looked upon as prize, Seth seized
upon the helm with his brawny hand. The
men, scarcely needing the cautionng word
anticipated his intentions as he put the
helm hard up, and gave his impressive
shout in a suppressed and peculiar tone,
which was heard distinctly from stem to
stern:
'Letgo all the braces and bowlines, slack
OFT sheets and tacks, and square the yards
quicklyn This was all done in the twink
ling of an eye, and Seth shaped his course
as though he would bring his ship under
the lee-quarter of the privateer.
After making this demonstration, which
intended to deceive the enemy, her direction
was suddenly changed, and her head was
brought to bear directly upon the hull Of
the F:enchman! The crew ofthe schooner
now discovered, but too late, the design of
the Grampus; and confusion and dire "a
mazement aglt0ted the people, upon her
crowded deck. In their hast to remedy
their oversight, the Frcnchman failed al
together 10 avert the threatened disaster.
If thou dost intend to run her down,
said Jethro to Seth, hurriedly, projecting
his head for moment from the cabin
gangway. 'if-nay, hear me, Seth, for the
sake Of humanity if thou art deter mined
to run her down, ease thy helm a little,
and give them chance for their lives
Stand by to lower the boars!,' vocilera-
ted Seth, stamping furiousIy upon the deck.
y suppressed groan of horror escaped the
crew, as they now more plainly conceived
the design Of their captain.
The bolGest held his breath for time"
The little schooner still lay to, in the
trough of deep sea, her people running
backward and forward in frightened con-
fusion, while the huge bulk Of the Grampus
mounted the last high wave that separated
the two vessels.
Misericorde p exclaimed hundred
voices.
y wild scream Of spair-heard far
above the noise Of the element, and the
dashing Of the ship-burst from the poor
doomed Frenchmcn.
Down came the Cramps laundering up
on the privateer, and striking her with her
plunging bows directly amidships. The
frail schooner was cut directly in two by
the shock and her heavy armament, to-
gether with the irresistible force of the
severelng blow, bore both parts Of her hull,
with all her Inflated crew Of a hundred
souls, beneath the wave
Down with the boats from the quarter
launch the longboat,' shouted Seth. But
the command, though it could not have been
uttered nor executed sooner with safety,
came too late. The aim Of Seth had been
too fatally sure. The boats reached the
spot, and narrowly escaped being sucked
into the vortex where the schooner had
gone down. The French crew we're all
sent TO their long account; and the next
wave left not a trace Of the wreck, nor a
solitary human being to be saved from
watery death.
The ship and cargo were dearly ram
somed, Jethro Coffin; and, Seth, thou didst
sacrifice hccatomb Of human beings for
thy preservation.

INCIDENTS OF TRAVEL IN CENTRAL AN

INCIDENTS or TIA Eli IN CENTRAL AN Il
RIGA, CHIAPAS AND YUCATAN.
The following are extracts from the
above work, by J. l.. Stevens, and we
think will be found highly interesting.
A VIEW OF BOTH OCEANS.
The lofty point on which we stood was
perfectly clear, the atmosphere was Of
transparent beauty, and looking beyond
the region Of desolation, below US, at a dis
lance of perhaps two thousand feet, the
whole country was covered with clouds,
and the city at the foot of the volcano was
invisible. By degrees the more distant
clouds were lifted, and over the immense
bed we saw at the same moment the At
lantic and Pacific Oceans. This was the
grand spectacle we had hoped, but scarce
" expected to behold. My companions
had ascended the volcano several times,
but on account of the clouds had only seen
the two seas once before. The points at
which they were visible were the Gulf Of
Nicoya and the harbor of San Juan, not
directly opposite, but nearly at right an
giles 10 each other, so that we saw them
without tnrning the body. In a sight line
over the tops OF the mountains neither was
more than twenty miles distant, and from
the great height at which we stood they
seemed almost at our feet. Ii is the only
point in the world which commands view
of the two seas; and | ranked the sight
with the most interesting occasions, when
from the top of Mount Sinai looked out
upon the desert of Arabia, and from Mt.
Hor, saw the Dead Sea.
RUINS OF THE CITY OF CoPAN.
The Wall was of cut stone, well laid,
and in good state of preservation. We
assembled by large steps, in some places
perfect, and in others thrown down by
trees which had grown up between the Gre
vices. and reached q terrace, the form of
which it was impossible TO make out, from
the density of the forest in which it was

IMroRTANT TO OWNERS or IIoRsEs.--A French
man By the name of Iouy, now resident in Poland
has invented a method Of shoeing horses, for
which the Emperor has awarded him fifty thousand
rublcs besides an exclusive patent. Jony covers
the entire hoof with iron, and the base Of his shoe,
or, as it is called, sandal, perfectly smooth. This
method Of his is being adopted in al parts Of Russia
Ii requires neither nail screw it Is extremely
cheap, and has the important characteristic Of great
lightness Horses whose hoots have been destroyed
BY bad shoeing, are, by the Of these "hippo san
dals. restored IN q short time to their former Stale
of efficiency, and may be used as soon as provided
with them. Some horses have been brought TO Mr..
Jony's smithy, which could scarcely limp along, and
with their boots IA so lamcntabe state, that the
common mode Of shoeing could not have been ap-
piled TO them but after performing slight opera
ton upon them, and putting the new sandal on their
feet, they were sent back to their owners in q COM
pa.atiyely sound state, and fit TO- work.

II Will hence be seen, that Illinois and Msss-
sippi which absent from tie present House arc
entitled bv the late census 10 cieren roies.
IL will be seen that while New England loses
four votes, the nine states entitled TO a
gam of hccpiy FIRE, making difference Of tecniy-
nine in the relative strength of those sections.
Five Southern States including Maryland viii
lose eleren roics, making relative difference be-
tween them and the nine new states ofhiTfy-sir
vOiCs.
kentucky will also lose two, and Tennessee one.
Maine, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Georgia and Arkansas
will have their present number, but as the aggrc-
gate representation viii be increased, their relative
strength Will be diminished
Both Arkansas and Michigan have been admitted
into the Union since the census Of 1880.
Finally this table shows, that within the last ten
years more than one tenth of the political power Of
the Union has been transferred from the seventeen
elder States TO the nno younger ones The nine
States are entitled to have in the House about TIM
per cent. more power than they have now.
In this state Of things, and when two Of those
States wholly uHrcprcsonted, will Congress press
tho exercise Of doubtful powers, oyer,urn long es-
tablished systems in which they peculiarly IN
terested plunge the country into debt, and burden
the people with new taxes II they DO any thing
more than is absolutely necessary to carry on tho
Government, can they carry with them the conf
dence of the country, or hope that their decisions
will be respected

SAVING OF SEEDs.-As far as possible, every far
mcr should save has seeds Ii he is careful and
selects but the best, if he gathers them tie
proper time, he is more sure of their kind and quail
" than if he purchases, is too frequently the
case, begs.them and Is, Of course less liable to fail
ares and disappointment in his crops. There are
many small seeds such as are wanted for the gar
den, herbs, roots, vegetables, flowers, DC. which
should be saved as they ripen, and are nearly al
ways wanted and welcome when the seasons come
round. No vegetable plant should be selected,
planted for seed. that of the best quail
~ costs no more to raise seed from good plant
than an inferior one.

TIE ROCHESTER CLERICAL SEDUCTION Tie
Rochester Advertiser has the following paraoranb
We regret that the friends Of Rev ". Van Zand'
should cndeayor to prejudice the public mind in his
favor, or blacken the character of the young lady
and her family who charge him with seduction
The reputation of the young lady for truth and pu-
rty was unsulhcd until her fatal association with
the al Zandt family. Those acquainted with the
victim and her family, will be slow to believe that
malice AMI ayarice' would prompt the charge Of
such crime against clergyman and married man
if untrue instead Of the young relative" who. Il
guilty, could IN measure, repair the injury By mar
rage. Ii the family connections OF the Reverend
accused in New lork. as unfortunate as they are
here, they VIII hardly succeed in crushing the I'm.
fortunate or shielding the guilty by newspaper par.
agraphs.
