An Incident of the e Northfleet'' au sEsE To sdj Dssas+nr -'H

A very curious circumstance has come to light in connection with the loss of the NorthAeet. lS Captain Oates, who was her actual captain up to within a few hours of the ships sailing, has been fretting and ,fuming in the tolls which the, Tichborne case, cast around him as being an important witness against the " claimant." Captain Oates is the only man living who saw Roger Tichborne safe on, board the Betle. at Rio, bound for New York, and he was subpoenaed by the, counsel for the, young heir as soon as the claim of the popularly es- teemed Sir Roger was put in. When the Northheet was ready for sea, Cap tain Oates secretly feared detention, but as he had already made a deposi- tiens which was in the hands of the leading counsel for, the prosecution, he put bold face on matters, and went on with his preparations for the voyage, as if no subpoena were hanging over his head. When the lawyers heard that the Northfeet was about to sail, they intimated, to Captain Oates that he was wanted" in April and must not sail, under heavy penalties. ;" Fine me 42Oo, or eS6o, if you like, l" said Captain gOatesy fsbut must sail in the North fleet son Saturday next" /" Mo-" said MT, Hawkins, the counsel for the Crown ss we must have your body in court, and if you attempt to sail you will be arrested"
 The Northfeet was to have sailed on Saturday, the 11th ultimo, and on the previous Friday, Captain Oates,p from information received in the shape of fo, Io1 of the law, said it was impossible for him his isbrother owners Captain Oates had a give the command to Captain Knowles, who had sailed with Captain Oates for five years, and 9f whom Sf 4 F very high }, effects of Captain Oates and Mrs. Oates were at the time on board the vessel, and were hastily removed to give place bride. 70 Mr. Knowles had been engaged always said he would wait till he got command. The waiting was so long that about Christmas he determin- ed to tarrya no longer, and here with wonderful good luck, as it appeared to Uu0 pOOT lSllOW,r u COu1u1du0 uuCADCCb- edlv tumbled into his hands, when he had been married only a few weeks, He and Mrs. Knowles gave up the apartments which they had just taken and furnished, and on given day, Mrs. Knowles joined the. ship at Gravesend, taking up her residence in the superior cabins which Captain Oates had especially fitted up for him. self and wife. 2a'''
 The restof the story the world knows but there are some curious incidents connected with it which are worthy of mention. About seven years ago, MT. Knowles being then chief officer, an emigrant ship outward bound from London was lying in the downs, when his ship was run into by steamer and cut down to the waters edge. For tunateIy, assistance was at hand, and she was lowed back safely to London. and there underwent repairs. What adds greatly to the remarkable character of the coincidence is that George Brock, the pilot in charge of the Northfeet at the time of her being run down, was also in charge of the other emigrant ship of which the hapless captain was chief mate, t5r7 .aar,Fs "s .aa aa- ...@

InexOrabIe.

InexOrabIe. David the Psalmist, the marvellous king, To his golden harp sang once and again; Down through the ages I hear his voice ring, "The years of man they are three-score- and
 ten"
 But what if the man or woman, we'll say, Has heart of fire and blood like new wine, Can find Heavens own bliss in Summers day. And in human eyes see light divine? The life that was given for seventy years, Whatif he squanders it all in a score? If, in ardent joys and agonized tears, He consumes it all till he has no more? Say, what shall become of the spendthrift,
 then,
 Who has lived his life, yet who is not old Such long years left before three-seore-and-
 ten, t"-
 And the fire burned out, and the ashes cold Oh stately psalmistl oh marvellous king! Through the dim ages hear thee again Without change without pity, still hear thee
