"Ieave to, or will sink you! What
are you palavering about:' shouted the
Englishman.
The two vessels were now side by side,
steering on the same course, abeam of each
other. the tender being to leeward, and
about hundred fathoms off.

Yes, WILL" answered the young reef
er, and with hearty will he began to
draw it to windward. At the same mo-

hard up, and the sloop rapidly payed off
right toward the tender

English officer.
eyes, Aminadab, you tarnal fool you,
let it go, | say. Let it go! Don't you
see we are coming right aboard the cap
tain's vessel g.
But Aminadab' pulled the harder,
and fairly took a turn with the sheet about
Delaying pin.
The English officer was about to pour
out upon him voIley of oaths, seeing that
the sloop would certainly fall foul of him );
he turned to give orders for the protec-
ton of his own vessel, but ere he could ut
ter them, the sloop's bows struck her near
the fore rigging, and swung arouud stern
with stern.
At the same instant, the American Off
Ger stamped on the deck, and forty armed
men made their appearance from the hatch
es, fore castle and cabin, and leaped after
Percival upon the tenders deck. The
Englishmen, taken by surprise, surrender
ed without striking blow; and getting
both vessels under sail, in the very sight of
the frigate, the gallant young captor sailed
with his prize back into harbor, and safe
ly anchored her of the battery, after an
absence of six hours and twenty seven
minutes.
This exploit is doubtless one of the bold
est and most spirited affairs that came off
during the,,war. The account given above
is a faithful narrative of the transaction,
and the chief circumstances will be recog-
nized both by the brave officer in question
as we'll as by his friends.

AN ORDER OF THE DAY OF MARSHAL
NErL.-Marshal Neil, on lately assuming
his command at Toulouse, published the
following order of the day: "Soldiers-
The Emperor has deigned to confer on me
the command of the sixth military arron
dissement. In placing me at your head
his Majesty accords me proof of his high
confidence, Of which | may we'll be proud.
A recent and aloriour war has shown once
more what may be expected from the cour-
age and devotion of the French soldier.
At present, you are about to take advan-
tage of the leisures of peace to improve
your training and dicipine, which are the
first bases OF the power of armies The
experience ofthe past will be turned to the
advantage of the future, so that if war
should again break out it may not be at
tended with less glory to our arms than in
these later years. and that, under all cir
cumstances. the Emperor may rely on
your bravery and devoted loyalty. I'm
ceasingly occupied in experimenting and
encouraging your lahors, shall always
be nappv to reward your services"

An APPLE TREE-The Bloomington
Panta graph states that on "Rhode's farm"
near that city is an apple tree, a seeding
of thirty years growth, which is now bear
ing the third crop Of apples ofthis season.
1t has frequently heretofore produced two
crops in year; the second and third crop
of apples differ very much from the first.
All the old wood of the tree bore the first
crop; the sprouts on wood grown last year,
contained the second crop, and the new
sprouts of this season bear the third crop.
This is some apple tree.

1900 YEARS IN BUuDrNG-The "vati-
can" at Rome, the palace Of the Pope, is a
pile of buildings covering space 1900
feet in length, and 1000 in breath, on one
of the seven hills of Rome. The site was
once the garden of the Emperor of
Nero. Early in the sixth century the Bish-
op of Rome erected there an humble dwell
ling, and this has been added to from time
to time by the Popes, until it is now one
of the most spacious and magnificent pal
aces, stocked with paintings, statues, books,
and antiquities Of the rarest kind.

IT II said that Queen Victoria's second
daughter-now the first on the marriage
roll-has expressed wish to resign her
"royal dowry" in order to become a pro-
fessed Catholic. The court paper insinu-
ates that this is step to court the young
King of Portugal, who has lately losFhis
wife. When Don Pedro was in England
few years ago, the Princess Alice was
" smitten," but religion was in the way
and the affair dropped.

In an ancient chair whose creaky cra~,

While down By her side on the kitchen floor,
Stood . basket Of worsted balls-a score
The good old man dozed o'er the latest news,
Till the fire OF his pipe went out;
And UNDECIDED, the kitten, with cunning paws,
Rolled and tangled the balls about;
Yet still sai the wife in the ancient chair,
3wsying to and fro in the fire light glare.
But anon, misty tcar-dro- came
In her eye of faded blue,
Then trckled down in furrow deep,
Like single drop Of dew;
So deep the channel-so silent the stream,
The good old man saw naughs but the dimm'd
eye-beam.
Yet marveled he much that the cheerful light
OF her eye had weary grown,
And marvelled he more at the tangled balls

" ! have shared thy joys since our marriage VOW,
Conceal not from me thy sorrows now"
Then she spoke OF the time when the basket there

And now there remained of the goodly pile,
But single pair for him;
Then wonder not at the dimned eye light,

l cannot but think of the busy feet,
Whose wrappings wont to lay
In the basket awaiting the needles time
Now wandered 80 far away;
How the sprightly steps, to a mother DEAR
Unheeded fell on the careless ear.
For each empty nook in the basket old,
By tie hearth there's an empty seat;
And | miss the shadows from off the wall,
And the patter of many feet;
IT'S for this that tear gathered over my sight;
At the one pair of stockings to mend tonight
Twas said that far through the forest wild,
And over the mountain bold,
Was land whose rivera and darkening caves
Were gemmed with fairest gold,
Then my first born turned from tho oaken door
And knew the shadows were only four
Another went forth ON the foaming wave,
And diminished the baskets store
But his feet grew cold, so weary and cold,
They'll never be warm any more
And this nook, in ita emptiness seemeth to me
To give back no voice bat the moaa of the sea
Two others have gone toward the setting sun,
And made them home in it's light
And fairy fingers have taken their share,
To mend by the freside bright;
Sone other basket their garments fill
But mine Oh mine is empter STILL
Another--the dearest-the fsrest-the best
Was taken by the angels away,
And clad in garments that wa1eth not old,
In land of continual day

While / mend the pair of stockings tonight.
