AID TO EARLY RIsING.-Our friend
Abram has invented machine intended
10 benefit those who wish TO rise early and
are not able. 1t is rather complicated
affair. A large case, the sise of an ordi-
nary molasses hogshead, contains all the
apparatus. After rolling this into your
bed room, you proceed to arrange it be-
fore retiring. The first article is a Yankee
clock, which is arranged on vibrating
board over the top of the case, and set at
the hour required. You then, with the as
sistance of several men, lift the whole affair
upon chair at tho head Of your bed, and
retire. Immediately at the hour designed,
the alarm runs down, and the vibration
ofthe board sets in motion several revol-
wing dinner gongs. which in turn dischar-
ges pistol aimed with precision at peg
supporting fifty tin pans of buckshot, and
Of course upsets the whole affair, and by
a curious contrivance, gives an inclina-
ton to the case, and unless the sleeper
gets ou. marvelously quick. lands the
whole concern, Yankee clock and all, on
top of him.--N. Y. Picayune.

The Boatman of Montereau.

Matthew BoisGoux was born in town
called Montereau, and got his living as
boatman on the rivers Seine and Ynnne.
Sober, industrious and unweared IN his
assiduity for labor, he supported with his
earnings his aged mother, and The orphan
children of his brother. At an early age
he devoted himself specially TO save the
lives of those in sudden danger. He had
at eighteen, the good fortune to drag from
the fumes, an old man and young girl,
and the sentiments thus awakened n his
bosom were, he has declared, so exquisite
that he de ermined nc yer to lose an op-
porunity of saving his fellow creatures in
the same way In the course Of the fol.
lowing five years he wos present on so
many occasions at fires, at upse ing Of
boats, and had saved so many lives, that
men ceased to count them, when an acci.
dent occurred, which raised his reputa>
ton to the highest point.
An inundation took place, which cov>
cred the plain around the town, while
several quarters Of Montereau were inun-
dated. The inhabitants, flying to the
neighboring heights, communicated only
by boats. Three men had gone 10 exam.
inc what ravages had happened to their
property from the flood. and weary and
sick at what they had seen. entered
their boats and pushed off with their feet.
They instantly saw that they were with>
out oar or pole, but it was too late to REM
edy the omission. The stream carried
them away towards the bridge which was
nearly submerged in water, and against
which thor lrail vessel was sure TO be
crushed. They uttered one cry of de-
spair and anguish, which afar off was
heard by Matthew Boisdoux, who was on
the shore. He stood one moment irreso>
lutte. Should he fetch his boat!
Mop he exclaimed, i should be too
late. Par ma fol, will swim and trust
te P:ovidence.'
He plunged into the water, despite its
raging throe and the sharp cold, striking
out for the boat, which he could scarcely
see, being guided only by the cries of the
unfortunate wretches about 10 perish
They were far ahead of him. But he
made superhuman exertions, and present
lv the boat was almost within his reach
He takes counsel only Cf his intelligence
and indomitabe courage. With one arm
, thrust forth like bar of iron, he checked
the boat, and swung it round, thus catch
ing the pointer in his teeth ; he then AGAR
r began to swim, this time for shore. The
\ tack was almost in vain.
!. The torrent sped on with terrible We
J.. ocity, the bridge was within a hundre
$ yards and they were carried down upoI
6 it to encounter certain death if the
y reached it. They would be sucked Jude
v the arch. A crowd hurried down to th
e waters edge, some ventnred on tn
bridge with poles, but not boat was n
hand in the confusion. Suddenly heav
sigh was heard from every bosom. Bois
: doux. despite his strength, courage an
o agility, was evidently being carried ava
d by the torrent. Some cried to him
r save himself, that his life could not /
