CAUGHT BY THE TIDR.-Those OF our

OF novels, ore surely familiar with the
little adventure wherein Martha Jane.

entirely and-as she is thinking of her

rising tide. The treaoherons waves come
up the sand. and suddenly the way is
barred. Matilda turna to fly, but. of
course, the judioious novelist does not
intend to let her off so easily. She finds
her return stopped also. There she is,
and there she stays, upon high rock,
until either the lover comes over the
cliff, at the risk Of his precious neck, or
in boat through much peril of billows,
and rescueB her. It is not often such an
adventure occurs in real life, but Mr..
Burns, OF Scarborough, England, lately
found himself in such predicament.
He was caught by the sudden rise OF the
spring-tides on the road by the bench
leading from Scarborough to Filey. He
secured a position on narrow ledge of
rocks, about ten feet from the beach.
Upon this narrow ledge, about two feet
In circumference. and clinging to the
rocks, he passed many hours. In this
perilous position, amid the roar Of thun-
der, the fash of lightning. and down
pour OF rain, the hours of the night
orept slowly on. The storm of rain,
which had been q cause of alarm to
many. was Welcome visitor to him, for
parohed, faint and weary, even the water
which poured down the rocks was re-.
freshing beverage. Soaking his handker-
chief in the rain as it ran downwards, he
was enabled to batho his heated temples
and to slake his thirst. He was rescued
in the morning by bout.

The following anccdotc, extracted
from unpublished memoirs of a French
nobleman, may, it is hoped, serve as an
example, we'll worthy of being initiated
by all who desire to be thought only
brave and courageous. 1t records an
instance of a victory gained by man
over his own passions-victory more
glorious, more honorable than any that
has ever been purchased with fire and
sword, with devastation and blood
shed.
Two noblemcn, the Marquis dc Va
lase and the Count de Meric, were cdu.
Gated under the same masters, and
were regarded by all who knew them as
patterns of friendship, honor and sensl-
bility. Years succeeded years, and no
quarrel had ever disgraccd their at

ing, the two friends, having INDUCED
rather freely in some excellent burgun-
DIV, repaired to q neighboring hotel, and
engaged in a game of back CANNON.
Fortune declared herself in favor of the
Marquis; he won every game, and in
the thoughtlcss glee OF the moment,
laughed with exultation at his unusual
good luck. The Count lost his temper,
and once or twice upbraided the Mar
quis for enjoying the pain which he had
excited in the bosom of his friend. At
last, upon another fortunate throw
made by the Marquis, by which he
gammoned his antagonist, the infurat-
ed Count threw the box and dice in the
face of his brother soldier.
Every gentleman present was III

quis would shcathe his sword in the DO

Kicking Cows.

A correspondent of the Maine FIR
mcr writes as follows how to treat COWS
that kick and switch their tails: |
purchased, a few years since, an excel
lent COW, but, Us her former owner in
formed me, "she would kick out Il
double shuttle frequently while being
MIXED" which soon found to be the
fact. | bowed her up in u horse stall,
fixed a piece Of hardwood plank across
the stall, so that it rested about six
inches from the floor. and two inches
forward of her hind feet. She soon
found the sharp edge of the plank
was injured less than her shins, and af-
ter Il few trials abandoned her bad habit
of kicking. | had another COW who
kept continual switching of her tail
while being MIXED. placed q small
pole across the top of the stall, bored a
hole in board near the end, placed II
wire ring through it, slipped the pole
through the ring, so that the hoard
hung about two feet from the floor. at
the SIDE of the cows near hind leg. She
can pound the board with her caudal
appendage all she plcases without in
convenience to her mixer. The ring
slides on the pole, and the board can be
showed aside when not needed.
