the prize proved to be the 1centurcTO, n
fine yacht-like schooner, carrying one
long swivel gun amid ships Small need
was there to inquire OF her sulen COM
mander whether the cargo was lawful or
'contraband,' and our sailors at once pro-
ceeded to open the closely-covered hatch
ways. On removing them dense steam
inc mist of foul sickening air ascended
from the slave-deck below and three
hundred unhappy beings of both sexes
were discovered lying down, their feet
manacled to long iron bars placed fore
and aft throughout the ship. From this
piteous writhing mass of humanity arose
strange voices and shouts of Joy as the
irons were unloosed and the fact of their
deliverance dawned upon their minds
Half their number were brought on deck
to breathe the purer atmosphere, and the
rest, untettercd, roamed about at will be-
low.
The crew of the SLAYER, twenty-four in
all, were transferred to the Pmtatoon,
and lieutenant and party Of men de-
tailed to convey the prize to Sierra Le-
one. Before parting company, however,
an exciting scene of plundcr was enacted;
officers and sailors keenly searching after
actables which-although articles of
daily consumption on shore-were luxu-
ries to men shut up for months in an
African cruiser.
Tins of preserved meats, sardincs. pot
ted salmon and lobster, boxes OF crystal
Ized sugar, raisins, potatoes, butter, wine
and bottled pale ale rewarded the laugh
ing plunderers and were passed into the
s!ip under the very eye of the.siave-cap-
tain, who, as he leaned over the side,
muttered the not inappropriate word, La
drones. Soon, however, his face clear
ed up, and calculating Fortuna de la
guerre. he smoked his paper cheroot
with calmneSs. consolcd doubtless 10y the
recollection of former successful trips
for slave-tradcrs confess that if only one
vessel ont Of four escapes, they are am
ply repaid.
And now, all arrangements being COM
pLete, the prize crew gave a hearty fare
well cheer ~ the -irchtnTeao. with En-
Giamd> tiag Of liberty waving ut the peak,
bore away to the westward, Il cheer re-
turned as heartily by their comrades in
the PmtIlooa, aS thlt vessels head was
once more turned towards her cruising
ground. =. W. SApLER.

Thy gracious protection, desiring TO be
hrncetorth dependent only on Thee. To
Thee they have appeared for the righteous
ness OF their cause To Thee do they now
iopk up for that countcnancc and sup
port which Thou alone can>t rive. Take
them. therefore. heavenly Father. un-
der Thy nurturing care. Give them
wisdom in council and vaior in the field.
Defeat the malicious designs of our ad-
verSar.c- convince them of the unright-

persist in sanguiuary purposes. On, let
the voice OF Thy own unerriug justice,
sounding i'll their hearts, constrain them
to drop the weapons Of war from their
unnervcd hands in the day of battle. BE
Thou present, O God of wisdom, and di-
rect the councils of this honorable as
~rmbly. Enable them to settle things
on the best and $urc-t toun lation, that
the scenes of bloDl may be speedily clos
cd. and order, and harmony, and peace
may be ctttclually restored, and truth
and justice, religion and piety prevail
and flourish amongst Thy people. Pre-
serve the health of their bodies and the
viGor OF their minds shower down up
on them and the millions they here rep
resent, such temporal blessings as Thou
see>t cNpcdicnt for them in this world,
and crown them with everlasting glory
in the world to come. All this we ask,

How To GET lIEALrH IN FLoKIDk.-
My invalid friend, enIcavor to winter in
Sumter county i'll Florida. Bring with
you congenial friends Take with you
light boat. Let there be both rifles and
shot guns. Put up in cloth bags an am
pie supply Of plain provisions, meal, rice.
hominy, selt-raising flour, bacon, butter.
etc. Secure good tent and plenty Of
blankets. Ii the days are warm, the
nights will often be cool. DO not be
afraid OF getting backed with pine
smoke. Secure at jacksonville or PLAT
ka for your party of four persons a rood
cook, bring him with you, and then find
here on the spot, Il hunter and gailc.
DO you ask whether you may wisely
make a home i'll this region! | answer
frankly, no. In general the soil is poor.
There Is no suitable society in this region.
There are neither markets, schools, nor
churches. The Sabbath is unknown.
Your children would be doomed to pa
ganism, if you should rear them here,
unless q whole colony of good citizens
settle here together. But as place in
which they that have lung diseases, yet
are not too much weakened, may sojourn,
this region IS no: surpassed. The nights
are almost always dry. Hills seem to
purify the air The mode of life IS fa-
vorable. Lounging in hotels, or along
city streets, swallowing nostrums, attend
ing meetings of invalid clubs, where each
member makes a study of morbid history

One reason why workin"mcn seldom
acquire property, or become puS>esSorS of
home, or have Il few dollars even laid
up in the savings bank a@ain-t sickness
or dull times, is the naked fact that they
will never acquire the h,tJt Of ya'ng.
In saving, Where there's Il will
there's a way" This maxim Is illustra-
ted by case within the personal kuowl-
edge of the writer. In 1870, when the
subject of home. for the industrial classes
was being agitatef, the writer was III
terested in inducing poor men to obtain
homes for themselves. Being a mcch;m-
ic with many men in his employ, he
constantly presented and pressed the sub
.iect upon their attention. Four Of his
men now own and live in their own
