SELECTED STORY.
Extraordinary Nerve.

While the French Marshall, Murat, was in
Madrid he wns anxious to communicate with
Junot in Portugal, but all tho roads to Lisbon
swnrmed with guerrillas and with the troops
composing Castano'ss army. Murat mentioned
his embarrassment to Baron Strongonoff, the
Russian Ambassador to Spain.
Russia, it is we'll known, was at the time not
only the ally but the friend of France NJ. de
Strongonof told Murat that it was the easiest
thing in the world "The Russian Admiral,
Sinaivin," said he, sis in the port of Lisbon !;
give me the most Intelligent of your Polish
laucers; ! will dress him up ina Russian uni
form, and entrust him with dispatches for the
Admiral. All will go well even if he should
be taken prisoner q dozen times between this
and Lisbon, for the ;nsurgent army is 90 anx-
ious to obtain our neutrality that it will be
careful not TO furnish q prete1t for rupture"
Murat was delighted with this ingenious
scheme. He asked Krakinski, the command
| ant of the lancers, to find him brave and in
telligent young man. Two days afterwards the
commandant brought Murat young man of
his corps, for whom he pledged his life; his
name was Leckinski, and he was but eighteen
years old. r. So a'iI.#''ti-iEi>
Murat was moved at seeing so young man
court so imminent a danger, for if he were de-
tected his doom was scaled. Murat could not
help remarkiDg to the Pole the risk he was
about to run. The youth smiled ''Let your
imperial highness give me my instructions" he
answered respectfully, II will give you good
account of tho mission I have been honored
with. Ifthank his highness for having chosen
me from among my comrades, for all of them
would have courted this distinction"
The prince augured favorably from the
young man. . modest resolution. The Russian
Ambassador gave MIN his dispatches; ne put
on a Russian uniform and set out for Portu-
gal. mf
The first two days passed over quietly; but
on the afternoon of the third. Leckinski was
surrounded by body Of Spaniards, who dis
armed him and dragged him before their COM
manding officer. Luckily for tho gallant youth
it was Castanos himself
Leckinski was aware that he was lost if he
was discovered to be a Frerchman consequent
ly he determined on the instant, not to let
single word of French escape him, and to
speak the Russian and German, which he spoke
with equal fuoncy. The cries of rage Of his
captors announced the fate that awaited him,

A Wonderful Story.

The following wonderful story is said to have
been taken from the log book of q vessel which
arrived in New York:
In tho course Of the voyage, that dreadful
disease the ship fever broke out among the
crew. One of the sailors, among the first VIC
Tins, was accompanied by his son lad offour.
teen years who was strongly attached to his
father, and remained With him day and night,
and never could be persuaded 10 leave him for
a moment
A large shark was seen every day following
the vessel evidently for the purpose Of devour.
ing any one who should die and be committed
to tho deep.
After lingering a few days, the sailor died.
AS was custom at sea he was sewed up In a
blanket, and for the purpose ofsinking him, an
old grindstone and carpenter axe were put
in with him. The very impressive service of
the Episcopal Church was then red and the
body committed to the deep.
. The poor boy, who had watched the pro.
ceedings closely, plunged in after his father,
when the enormous shark swallowed them
both. The second day after this dreadful
scene as the shark continued to follow the ves-
sci Oor there were others sick in the ship,
one of the sailors proposed as they had ahark
hook on board, to make an effort to take him.
They fastened the hook to long rops aud
batting it with piece of pork, throw it into
the sea, and the shark instantly swallowed it.
Having thus hooked him, by means of wind
las they hoistcd him on board. After no was
dead they prepared to open him, when one of
the sailors, STOPPING down for that purpose,
suddenly paused and after listening few mo-
ments, declared most solemnly he heard n low
cultural sound which appeared to proceed frcm
tho shark. The sailors, after enjoying hearty
laugh at his expense, proceeded to listen for
themselves, when they heard similar sound.
They then proceeded to open the shark when
the mystery was explained.
1t appears that the sailor was not dead, but
in trance; and his son, on making this dis
coycry when inside the shark had by means
of knife, ripped open the blanket. Having

Never insure your life for the benefit of
