THAT'S MY BoY-I remember once
standing by the surging billows, all one
day, and watching for hours father
struggling beyond in the breakers for
the life of his sou. They came slowly
towards the breakers on piece of wreck,
and as they came the waves turned over
the piece of float, and they were lost
Presently we saw the father come to the
surface and Chamber along to the wreck,
and then saw him plunge off into the
waves, and thought he was gone but in
moment he came back again, holding
his boy. Presently they struck another
wave, and over they went; and again
they repeated the process. Again they
went over, and again the father rescued
his son. BY and by, as they swung
nearer the shore, they caught on snag
just out beyond where he could reach
them, and for little time the waves
went over them there till we saw the
boy in the fathers arms, hanging down
in helplessness, aud knew they must be
saved soon or be lost; and l shall never
forget the gaze of that father. And as
we drew him from the devouring waves.
still clinging to his sen, he said. That's
my boy, that's my boy p and half fran
tic, as we dragged them up the bank, he
cried all the time, That's my boy,
that's my boy !" And so have thought
in hours of darkness, when the b.llows
roll over me, the great Father is reach
ing down to me, and taking hold of me,
crying, {" That's my boy!" and l know /
am safe.-Dr. Fo,cler, IN the Methodist.

person they cry out, Flat, fiat shell

exceeding great joy.

The Brave Engineer.

Simmons, who met his death at New
Hamburg in the engine of the Express
train (nighD, was the son Of DR.. Sim.
mons, and formerly resident of Utica.
We have to-day no braver men in Ameri-
ca, taken as class, than our locomotive
engineers. Almost every week the Press
records some act of heroism on the part
of an engineer Mr.. Simmons was
worthy representative oe his comrades
even in the face of death. When the
fireman jumped from the engine, the en-
gineer said he should "stick to his post
and go through" In the instant of time
which was given him for action, he sound
ed the proper Signals and the last OF
these mingled with the crash of the col
.ision. The telegraph told us yesterday
in words brief and vet how eloquent
The body of the faithful engineer
has been found clasping the throttle
valve of his engine:" No matter what
station in life he may fill, when such
man dies it is the nations loss. In a lee
ture delivered Tuesday evening, George
w. Curtis said: a
/ stood on the spot where a terrible
railroad accident occurred last night
there | was told that the engineer Of that
fatal train which was thrown from the
burning bridge, calmly saw the doc m
before him, gave the complete signal
for every car to put on the brakes. and
then. went down with his engine, in the
performance of his last mortal duty.

ment. As soon as / could leave the field
| went over to look after my wounded
/ found the English officers lying on the
first floor, and our own on the floor above,
| saw in the lower room the young lady
whom had met in the morning at the
breakfast table, her whitedress all sprink-
led with blood She had been attend
ing to the British wounded. On the sec
ond floor, just as | was turning into the
room where our officers were, met my
hostess.
One glance at her was quite sufficient
to answer the question which l had
been asking myself all day. She had
intended to betray me, and nothing but
the accident of my aid rising for his
handkerchief saved us from capture.
Years afterwar9, in rejecting upon
this incident, was led to doubt whether
had not misconstrued her startled man
ner as l suddenly encountered her. That
unexpected meeting would have occa-
stoned embarrassment in either contin-
gency and it is SO difficult to believe
lady of cultivation and refinement cap
able of such an act, that l am now, near
ly half century after the even, dispos-
ed to give my hostess the benefit of that
doubt. And now, sir, added the General,
this is the third time in my life have
told this story. ] do not remember to
have been spoken to before on this SUBJ
ject for many years." He looked at me
and seemed to be considering with him
self few moments, and then said:
Remembering your intimacy with
General Worth, l need not inquire how
you came to knowledge of our secret"
We'll General" I replied, have
kept the secret for more than forty years,
always hoping to obtain your own ver-
sion of what struck me as most re-
markable incident in your military life. I"

BLUNDERs OF BAsHFULNEss. If there
is any defect more striking than another
in American character, it is bashfulness.
Young America in particular, is pain
fully affected by it. An incident is men,
toned by correspondent, who was de-
sired by his aunt to go over to neighbor
Shaw's and see if he had any straw for
sale for filling beds. Mr.. Shaw said our
informant, was blessed with goodly
number of Misses Shaw, and l therefore
felt a little timid at encountering them.
To make the matter worse, Iarrived just
as the family were seated at dinner
Stopping at the doorway, hat in hand, l
stammered out, Mr.. Straw, can you
spare me enough shaw to fill couple Of
beds?" "Well," replied the old gentle
man, glancing around at his large fami-
ly and enjoying my mistake. :" I don't
know but l can how many will you
need?" Before l could recover, those
hateful girls burst into chorus oflaugh-
ter. and broke for home in cold sweat.

PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF ALCo-
HoL.-An important memoir upon the
effects of alcohol upon the human body,
was lately read before the Royal Society
of London, giving the result Of expert
ments prosecuted by two eminent army
surgeons upon an intelligent British sol
dier. This man was perfectly healthy,
and entirely unaccustomed to the use of
spirits or tobacco in any form; so that
the effects produced on his appetite were
direct, and could be readily appreciated.
1t was ascertained that small quantities
of absolute alcohol-say one or two fluid
ounces -lessened it considerably, and
larger quantities almost destroyed it.
While this particular effect may have
been the result of peculiarities of consti
tuition in the individual experimental
upon, it is also possible that in case of
disease, much smaller quantities of alco-
hi might affect the appetite. The num-
Der of beats in the heart in twenty-four
hours WIS increased very largely to an
average of at least thirteen per cent
and the actual work d,ne by the heart,
in excess of the normal task, was found
to be equal TO that of lifting fifteen tons
one foot and, indeed, during the last
two days of the experiment the extra
work amounted to twenty-four tons. The
general conclusion, from this experience
and others which we have not time to
mention, are very decided that, in case
of ordinary health. the use of alcohol,
even in small dose, is very much to be
reprehended; /; but that when the system
is run down and enfeebled, it may be
given as stimulant, and for the pur-
pose of causing the organs of the body
to act with greater vigor.-Ha1per's
Magazine.

WHAT ONE WOMAN DIp.-Nine
years ago there was an old man living
in Dutchess county, N. Y, who owned
farm of about 800 acres, and had three
children, a son and two daughters. He
was an old man then, and past work,
and his son managed the farm. Then
the old man made a proposition He
could not live long, and wanted to divide
the property in this manner: He would
divide 1t into two halves; give the son
one half and the other half to the two
daughters. Then the son made a prop
osition. The property was worth from
eleven to twelve thousand dollars, and
he said he would sell his share to his
sisters for five thousand, on condition
that they would take care of the old
man as long as he lived. One of these
sisters, a small, delicate person, acts for
the other, who is something of an inva-
lid. They agreed to the proposition, and
then the first thing this small person did,
when she got hold of the land and found
herself in debt FIVE thousand dollars,
was to run in debt four thousand more,
with which she bought new stock and
implements, put her buildings and fences
into good repair, and got everything as
a woman likes to see it. That is nine
years ago. Her father lived five years,
and got to be so helpless that she had to
wash his face for him, and shave him,
and wait on him hand and foot. She fell
sick herself of the strain, and could at
tend to nothing for some months. But
now that whole nine thousand dollars
debt is aid. The farm is in better con-
dition than it was when she took it, and
she has got SO forehanded that she is
able to go round visiting her friends. and
was sitting among you in this church
the first Sunday after vacation; and
suppose you would not know her, if she
were here tonight, from the lady who
seldom goes outside her own parlor. She
has had the whole oversight of the place,
sometimes hiring a foreman to work
with the men when she needed one, but
never giving up her own plan of ruling
and guiding the land. One day, when
she was not far on with her work, her
brother came to see how things were GO
ing,-not indifferent, / suppose, to his
share of the property still invested. He
saw some stone wall that was just done,
and said, You must not build a wall
like that; the land will not afford it,
What do you think that wall cost ?''
she said. The brother named the price
it would have cost him. The sister
brought out her book, showed him every
item, and it was not quite half as much
as he had said it cost. But then he
found that while the woman did not
touch the wall with the tip of her finger,
she inspired and directed the men, so
that they built as they built at the walls
OF Jerusalem in the days of Ezra the
scribe and SO the wall was finished. All
this she done and has raised poor lad
beside, taught him farming, started him
on farm OF his own in Missouri, and is
now looking out for another.-Robert
Collyer.

HUsBANDINa THE PESNIEs.-There
are but very few excuses for an impecu.
nious old age in this country, where Ia
Dor is SO we'll remunerated, and where
the avenues Of employment are 80 nu'
merous. However moderate it may be,
there is no one who does not receive
sufficient income to lay aside few pen
nies daily; and if an individual begins
to save only Al cents q day, at twenty.
one the amount SO saved, including in
1t, will foot up to $500 when he is
three score and ten. If, instead Of
spending II cents day lor cigar, he
lays them aside, he will have nearly
$4,000 at the end Of the same time.
How few people there are who could not
save 55 cents day without discommod-
ing themselves in the least, and yet this
sum would amount at the end of the
time specified to $4,000. There are
thousands of men who daily throw away
double and treble this sum over the seven
thousand bars of New York City. There
are few who suddenly acquire wealth,
but look around and select those who
have secured competence, and it will
be found that they have done SO BY hus-
banding the pennies which others care
lessly let slip through their fingers.

ANNIs OR MosEs.-A correspondent
of the Brattleboro Phoenix, writing from
Jacksonville Florida, relates this Incl.
dent:
Rarely have / carried basket, or
package of any kind, in the streets of
this city, without being accosted by some
colored man or boy with. "Please, sir,
may tote that for your" This morning
with basket in hand, l was passing down
Pine street, when young colored man
in the street seemed, as l supposed from
his movements, to be after my basket
But this time was mistaken, he had
more important business on hand, as could
be read upon his anxious countenance, as
he handed me letter, saying; Please
sir, will you be SO good as to read this
to me? l have asked FIVE different per-
sons to read it, and they can't do it."
1t proved hard task for me to give
him any intelligence from this worse
than Egyptian hieroglyphics. finally
ascertained that Annis wished Moses to
understand his affection for her was re-
ciprocated US this quotation will show
"As ter techin what yer sa Moses will
take yer fore all dis world" While
was vainly trying to read the remainder
for the letter, he impatiently reached
of the letter, saying: That's enough, I
thank you, that's all | wanter know"
With the joy of a pardoned sinner
cleaning on his animated face, his cup
of knowledge as we'll as of happiness
running over, he left me. s.F
