The herald. (Smyrna, Del.) 1870-1871, 1871-06-17

In very short time the action became
general; the crew fought well and des-
perately, but the terrible odds with
which they contended became every
moment more manifest. Nearer the pi-
rates approached, till the rattle of mus
kerry became incessant. They were
soon alongside, amidst a cloud of smoke,
they mounted the bulwarks, jumped
upon the deck, and engaged in hand
to-hand contest with the crew.
A long and deadly fight ensued. With
cutlass in hand, the captain was seen in
the thickest of the conflict, dealing death
and destruction at every blow; but
foot by foot, and inch by inch, they
were steady being driven back and
into the sea, when the loud report of a
heavy gun was heard. 1t was like
throwing ice in boiling waters. For a
moment the combat ceased and all eyes
turned to the direction of the sound. A
shout of joy burst from the crew of the
Marion. 1t was the Vixen.
The pirates, seeing that their chances of
victory were now gone, attempted to es-
cape, but were all either captured or
destroyed.
AT the very moment the shot from the
Vixen sent such thrill of hope through
the hearts of the crew of the Marion,
Chang Lay, with deep curse, at the
changed condition of affairs, sprang over
the bow cf his vessel, into the chains,
and in few moments, clambered over
the bow of the Marion. Springing on
deck, he started for the cabin. But
scarcely had he advanced step, ere he
was confronted by the stalwart form. of
Capt. HUDSON. The conflict was of
short duration, and soon Chang Lay lay
stretched out, bleeding corpse.
Meanwhile, pale and trembling, with
anxiously beating heart, and mind tor
tured by alternate hapes and fears, Let
tie Fay sat in the cabin Of the Marion,
with the pistol grasped tightly in her
hand, and her uncle's parting injunc-
tion ringing in her ears. A step sound
ed in the passage way. Nearer and
nearer it approached, until it slapped
at the cabin door. Letties' heart stood
still. The terrible moment had come,
and approaching the locker, she stood
with the pistols muzzle thrust into the
powder, waiting for the door to open,
and the dreaded Chinamsn to APPEAR

ped from her nerveless grasp, but, for
tunately, did not explode; she gazed
wildly for moment, and with single,
glad cry, Richard" fell senseless into
the outstretchod arms of Richard Crane.
But little more remains to be told.-
Capt. Crane, suspecting the designs oi
Chang Lay, anG his connection with the
pirates, had put to see with the Vixen,
as soon as possible, arriving to the as
sistance of the Marion at the most criti-
cal moment, as we have stated.
Captain Craine and IIettie Fay are
married now. Lettie no longer knows

How We Go to sleep.

The order in which the muscles loose
their power is deserving of passing
notice. The muscles which move the
arms and legs usually become relaxed
before those which maintain the body
in an erect position. There are, how
ever, many exceptions to this rule, as
NAV be seen in church on Sunday,
when some Of the congregation arc
almost certain to be seen with their
chin quietly resting on their chests, but
tightly grasping their prayer books
In relation to the eyelids setting up a
barrier between the retina and the
external world; but independently OF
the cyelids-if they have been removed
by the surgeon, or cannot be closed
through disase--the sight is still the
first sense whose function is abolished
Some animals, as the hare, do not shut
their eyes when asleep, and i'll cases OF
somnambulism the eyes remain open,
although the sense Of sight is Temporal
rilv lost. The other senses, as DR.
Hammond tells us, are not altogether
abolished; but their acuteness is much
lesscned. Taste is the first to disappear
and then smell; hearing follows; and
touch is the most persistent of the
senses. So, conversely, person is the
most easily awakened by the sense OF
touch; next in order by sound and
then by smell.-Oace u Week.

ARTIFICIAL WASrs,-Bulwcr says
that poverty is only an idea i'll nine
cases out Of ten. Some men with ten
thousand dollars year suffer more for
want of means than others with three
hundred: The reason is, the richer
man has artificial wants. His income
is ten thousand, and he suffers enough
from being dunncd for unpaid debts to
kill q sensitive man. A man who earns
dollar day and dees not run in debt,
is the happier of the two. Very few
people who have never been rich will
believe this; but it is as true as Gods
word. There are thousands and thou
sands with princcly incomes who never
know moments peace, because they
live above their mcancs. There is re
ally more happiness in world among
working people than am ong those wh'
are called rich.

There is the soumdest Of common
sense in the following paragraph from

"Why is it that there is such a re-
pugnancc on the part ofparents to put

mechanic is an independent man. Go
where he will, his craft will bring him
support. He need ask favors Of none.
He has literally his fortune in his own
hands. Yet foolish parents-ambitious
that their sons should rise in the
WORLD as they say-are more willing
that they should study for profession,
with the chances of even a moderate
success heavily against them, or run the
risk of spending their manhood i'll the
ignoble task of retailing dry goods, or
of toiling laboriously at the accountants
desk, than learn trade which would
bring them manly strength, health, and
independence. In point of fact, the
method they choose is the one least
likely to achieve the advancement aim
ed at; for the supply of candidates for
positions as 'crland boys dry good
clerks, and kindred occupations, is no.
riously ovcrstocked; while on the
other hand, the demand for really
skilled mechanics of every description.
is as notoriously beyond the supply
The crying need of this country to-day
is for skilled labor; and that father
who rcglccts to provide his son with
uscrul trade, and to sec that he thor
ouglly masters it, does him gricvous
wrong, and runs the risk of helping, by
SO much, to increase the stock of idle
and dependent, if not vicious, members
of society. 1t is stated in the report o
the Prison Association, lately issued
that of fourteen thousand five hundred
and ninety six prisoners confined in tn
peni,cntiarics of thirty States, in 1861
