ORIGINAL SKETCH.
Written for The Alleghanian.
Extracts s from PencfIlfngSa at Sea.


1t is unnecessary for me to state by
what vicissitude of fortune, [ found my
self, on the morning of the nineteenth of
August, 1874, on board the ship Mary, of
Salem, in the capacity of sailor before the
mast. We were in violent gale of wind off
the coast of Spain, and endeavoring to gain
sufficient offing to double the Cape of
Trafalgar, and make the entrance of the
strait of Gibraltar The wind during the
preceding night had been blowing in fit
full gusts, with occasional squalls of rain.
BY daylight, when all hands were called
on deck, it had settled down into a regu-
lar gale, such as can only blow along the
coasts leading from the Bay of Biscay.-
These generally exhaust their force on
the bold head-land of St. Vincent but in
the present instance it appeared as if that
slight obstruction had only increased the
fury ofthe A thick, heavy mist had
settled over the water, and the atmosphere
presented an appearance, in the extreme
of what sailors call, dirty, and so thick
that if mountain had been within hun
dred fathoms, it could not have been seen
by any one on board. And, to add to the
terror of the scene, the wind blew as if
old Eolus had again allowed the bag con-
tanning the winds, to be re-opened, and
determined in his anger, to make us feel
his power, before he would permit US to
escape from his wide domaint into the
placid waters of the Mediterranean.
The ship had been laboring very hard
all the previous night, and the creaking of
her timbers, and the continual roar Of the
waters breaking over the deck, had arous-
ed us from our unquiet slumbers in the
middle watch; so that we were not alto
gether unprepared for the Boatswain's S
shrill cry, which summoned all hands on
deck, two hours before the usual time.
Rushing up the ladder l found things
as above described, and with anything but
a pleasing prospect for a green hand at
sea. The ship had been stripped of her
top hamper, the top sail close reefed, but
the mainsail was still set. Yet, it seemed
evident, even to the eyes of green hand,
that this was more than any ship could
carry with safety, in such a fearful storm
My own opinion had already been formed
by the officers of the deck, for the first
words that salutcd our cars after making

A Cure 1Or

"Oh, motherp' said little Clara. sI get
so tired eating just bread and butter and
potatoes for my supper, and drinking only
cold water out of this tin cupl You do
not know how beautiful Mr.. Carrington's
table looked to night when went home
with the work. They were Just taking
dinner, and asked me into the dining-room
to get my money. Everything was so
bright and sparkling. The tea things
were silver and the plates china; and
little Ellen, who is no bigger than 1 am,
had a cup of coffee and a little silver cup
for water, too. There was such nice
things on the table-fresh fish and chick
en-, and every thing SO good! Don't you
wish we were rich people, too. Mother ?"
only little girl must be careful to keep
Giant Discomfort out of her heart if she
would be happy. We must be contented
to live in the sphere in which God has
placed us, for He knows a great deal
better than we do what is best for U.S.
If you had been with me this morning.
Clara, and had seen what did, you would
feel more thankful for your good, whole
some supper of fresh bread and butter,
and mashed potatoes"

than ever. She cannot go out washing
any more, and her two little children
We're almost starving. All they had to

Johnny gathered from the Streat'
''Oh, mother, how dreadful % said little
Clara, her eyes filling with tears. II wish

"They are well provided for now A
kind gentleman, for whom l have been
sewing, has sent them provisions enough
to last them several weeks. You should
have seen how the poor woman's eye
lighted up with JOY at the gift, and how
eagerly she supped the bowl of warm Cruel

"When we are tempted to fret, Clara,
and envy those who are better off than
we, it will be great help to remember
how many are in a great deal worse con-
dition. You have read the sweet little
story about the 'Sheperd of Salisbury
Plain You know his little daughter felt
so sorry for those poor people who had
no salt to eat on their potatoes while
they had "a dish quite full of it "
Cultivate the same spirit, my little
girl, and it will make even dry crust
taste sweeter than many rich mans
dainties. IS. s. Banner.

S ELECT POETRY.
From the Waverley Magazine.
Weep Not For Her.

Weep not for her the pure, the good,
Who from our midst is gone;
Twas ever thus since mortal man
This earth was placed upon:
Our dearest objects pass away
The cherished droop and die;
The hopes that highest upward soar
The soonest PROSTATE lie.
Weep not for her-to mother dear
A higher boon was given,
In grace immortal now she treads
The sapphire streets of Heaven.
With crown unfading on her head,
She chants the Savior's praise
With myriads who in concert sweet
Their angel voices raise.
Weep not for her-she's better off
For one so mild and meek:
This earth was not a fitting place,
So barren, cold, and bleak
The sinless light the golden air
OF Zion claimed its own,
And took her wearied spirit up
Unto its native zone.
Weep not for her-for "all is WELL"
She is an angel now,
No more will sorrow sweep athwart
Her bright effulgent brow.
Nor sin, nor suffering pain her heart
This sinful worlds bchest-
She lives DER death victorious now,
On Heavens eternal rest.
Weep not for her-for mother dear,
Though sadly were bereft;
And though within our circle fond,
An aching void is left
Her memory is a sacred shrine
\ sweet endearing theme
On which our holiest thoughts may dwell
Our calmest slumbers dream.
Weep not for her-but let US strive
To nerve our spirits up
Gainst sorrows pang-oh yes, we can
Unshrinking drink the cupi
And when we've walked life's thorny path
few fleet severing years,
Well meet her in those happy realms
Where Dought but joy appears.

neSgs Sir Francis Sykes and Henry reters,
two English gentlemen, have returned to st.
Paul, Minnesota, after an absence since June
last ON hunting expedition to the country adj
iacent and beyond the Red River settlements.
They have met with abundant success in the
pursuit of game, having killed iifty-two buii'i-
ioes, eleven elk, five black-tailed deer, "a very
rare species) Eve white tailed deer, two ante,
lopes, one lynx, two large black bears, several
white wolves, besides small game, su'h as
ducks, geese, ETC., in large numbers. The mos
noticeable feature Of these spoils, however, Is
the mammoth size of the elk horns, which av-
erape four feet nine inches in length, while
crosswise, from horn to horn, (tips) they mea'
sured four feet three inches apart. Bristlinl
with several sharp pointed branches, which
vary from foot to a foot and half in length
these immense horns present a most formidable
appearance.

THE FEET I'm WINTER TIME.

No person can be well long, whose feet are
habitually cold while securing for them dry
ness and warmth, is the certain means OF re-
moving variety of annoying ailments. =
The feet of some are kept more comfortable
in winter, if cotton is worn, while woollen suits
others better. The wise COURSE therefore, Is,
for each one to observe for himself, and act
accordingly. -, A.
Scrupulous cleanliness is essential to the
healthfuI warmth of the feet; hence all, espes
cially those who walk great deal out oil doors
during the day, in cold weather, should make
Il a noint to din both feet in cold water on
rising every morning, and let them remain,
haleankle deep, for half minute at time,
| then rub and wipe dry, dress and move about
| briskly TO warm them up. To such as cannot
well adopt this course, from any cause the
next best plan is, to wash them In warm water
every night, just before gong TO pea 'ahins
tho nrecaution to dry them by the hre most
thoroughly before retiring; this, besides Keep
inc the feet clean, preserves natural soltness
IN the skin, and has tendency to prevent ana
| cure corns Many a troublesome throat allec-
tion and ANNOYING headache will be cured, u
the feet are always kept clean, warm, soil ana
dry. oo,d

Thou wingest thy flight DER the realms OF earth
And its silent places are filled with mirth;
Thou stretchest thy hand DER the desert place
And the palace rises in marble grace

o,or the barren mountains thy foothas stray'd
And their heights are yelled with the fores

Thou passcst on, and the tigers den

The heather wilds by thy steps are trod,
And the Christian temple springs up to God
The bones of millions in dust ara strewed,
Rut the nations strength is by thee renewed

Hindlest their fire on some younger brow;
Man mist perish, but thou hast shrined

who goest forth, and upon thy track
Youth and beauty and bloom come back
Powerful as DER earth's realms thou art

OF hope and love to their bowers again
