e" And it came to pass that as we
were pulling the hand-press last Satur-
day, Erastus We conductor came also
among us.
And Satan said unto Erastus, whence
comest thou? And Erastus answered
Satan and said, From going to and fro
in the earth, and travelling up and
down from the Rapids.
And Satan said unto Erastus, Hast
thou anything to offer? And Erastus
answered Satan and said, Yaw; hast
thou considered thy servants Cotton g.
Goodrich, that there are none like them
in all the earth, jovial and upright men,
who love lager and eschew tobacco.
While he was yet speaking he shov-
ed letter under our optics, wherein
it was written that Grace, the fat and
faithful, had been among them and left
a keg ofpurc extract Of old ll;crtcl's

While we were yetreading, Erastus,
in compliance with the command Of We
psalmist,
''Brung forth a Royal Demijohn,"
and within no-time thereafter, Mr.. Tur-
nersen our Journeyman, didn't know
whether he was iu Friendship or Port

from him, and, after laying Turnersen
under the table, helped the party pres

And soon was heard the voices Of
the inmates Of the only printing office

singing song ''ye like whereof is not

all the gentlemen passengers. l want
them to stand by the whips in order
to assist the sailors, if necessary.
We must save those children, and do
it, too, without coming in contact with
the boat, as that would be instant dis
truction to it and them in such sea-"
"All ready the whips, sir!' came from
the mate, and at that moment the third
mates voice rang out from the jib boom

"Now, then, my lads, who'll 90 into
the running bowlines with me, and
stand by to pick up the children?" anx-
iously inquired the captain.

ready sailors in moment.
"Thank you, my lads; but / only
want five. [ viii SO ii one myself"
The selections were soon made, and
there they stood in the fore main mih-
zen chains-the commander and f-c
noble fellows-with the bowincs " )er
their arms, ready to risk their lives 70
save the three children.
"Steady! Steady by now! Here
they come! Look out!' screamed It's
officer from the .jib boom; and mo-
ment later the dim outlines of boat
loomcd up by the lee cat head. An
other moment of brcathless suspense,
and the boat was abreast of the fore
chains.
"Stcady by the foreward whips!--
Look out there in the main chains.-
Veer away men. Now, Harry, now"
and down went the companions and
the captain in the boat.
4 breath later and a shout came ring
ing up, "Look out main and mizzen
chains. Sway away on deck" and up
by the run came the two men, each
grasping child in his arms.
Gay, ay, sir, all right" answered a
brave fellow scrambling in on deck,
with little Jenny grasped tightly by her
clothes.
"Fatherr' exclsimed the little girl,
clasping the captain about the neck,
Father! Father" echoed back two
treble voices.
"Almighty God, | thank thee Saved
--savcd-savcd !" and captain Lester
Walton sank fainting on the deck. He
knew the children were his own from
the moment they passed the ships stern
and his indomitable self-control had
borne him up until they We're rescued;
when the reaction came he sank down
insensible.
At an hour before sunset the follow
ing day the snip was at her berth in
New York, and the meeting between
the distracted mother and her children
there, in the husbands ship, is too sa-
cred picture TO be profaned by mere
pen and ink copy.
