Save Ne, l Perish.

During heavy storm off the coast Of
Spain, dismantled merchantman was OBJ
served by British frigate drifting before
the gale. Every eye aud glass were on
her, and a canvas shelter, on a deck almost
level with the sea, suggested that taore
might be life on board. With all his
faults, no man is more alive to humanity
than the rough and hardy mariner; and so
tbs order instantly sounds to put the ship
about, and presently boat puts off with
instructions TO bear down upon the wreck.
Away after that drifting hulk 60 those
gallant men through the swell Of a roaring
sea they reach it; they Shout and now
strange object rolls out Of that canvas
screen against the lee shroud Of broken
mast. Hauled into the boat, it proves to
be the trunk OF man, bent head aud
knees together, so dried and shrivelled as
to be hardly felt within the ample clothes,
and SO light that mere boy lifted it on
board.
1t is laid on the deck; in horror and
pity the crew gathered around it; it shows
signs Of life; they draw nearer; it moves,
and then mutters- mutters 10 a deep,
sepulchural voice, "T'hcre is another manr'

What we Owe TO Winter.
BY II. W. BEEcHER.

II is not often thought that we owe all
our habits and institutions to winter. We
do not bear in mind that the reason whv
northern nations are more manly than
southern, is that there is winter 10 the north,
and no winter in the south Winter makes
nations manly by driving men into social
unities, and obliging them to live with each
other, and devise ways for their instruction.
In mild climate where there is no necessi.
ty for men to dwell under a roof, they
wander abroad, and in great measure dis
pense with each others society, so that
although they may have certain amount
of cursory enjoyment, they are compare
lively uninstructed. Bat in a severe eli
mate like this, when the cold season shuts
men out from the field, and they retreat
from their ordinary avocations, and the
days are short and the evenings are long,
the dwellings become a castle aud a school
house, and there must be not only abvrs,
but conversations and readings. Under
such circumstances the family is centre
Of knowledge and, if there be any leaven
in it, center Of Christianization. The
shortening of days and the lengthening Of
evenings make great difference in the
civilization Of nations; and | think it may
be said that New England and all the north.
srn states owe as much to the fact that
they have long winter, as to any of their
laws or institutions it gives rise to such
household education, such domestic culture

The following example of love and zeal
in blind girl will interest our readers
A blind girl in England brought to a clcr.
gyman thirty shillings for missionary So
ciety. The clergyman, surprised that
she should offer him so large sum, said tc
her:
You are poor blind girl--you car
not afford to give thirty shilings to the so
cicty."
~ am, ipdeed, sir" said she, "as you
may see, blind girl; but not SO poor, per.
haps, as you may suppose me to be, And
| can prove to you that can better afford
to give these thirty shillings than those girls
who have eyes"
The clergyman was, Of course, very much
struck with her answer, and said "I shal
be glad to know how you make that out"
Sir" she answered, ~ am basse
maker; and, being blind, l can make bas
kets as well in the dark as in the light
Now, | am sure, sir, in the last dark win
ter it must have cost these girls that have
eyes more than thirty shillings to buy can
dies to see to make baskets; and SO think
| have proved that | can afford this money
and now hope that you will take it al

Amos Dykes Fortune.

The time Of our little tale shall be some
sixty years ago, before express trains tore
along at the rate of fifty miles an hour, be-
fore chimney-pot bats were in fashion, and
when there were many quaint old ways and
customs in dress and manners which have
now faded quite away.
And the hero of our tale shall be Amos
Dyke, the sou of the Ilollington carrier.
Old Peter Dyke, the Holington carrier,
lived in little side place off the Main
street of the town, and commenced life
with only few shillings in his pocket. -
BY honest industry he had accumulated
enough to establish good business, and
at last he became the Holington carrier
Old Peter died leaving son about ten
years Of age, aud enough for him to start
well in life, and something more. But as
he was so young it was necessary that he
should have some one to look after him and
his property aud who so fit as the miller,
Crust, TO undertake the task ? Crust was
nothing 10th he promised to defend the
boy and do the best he could for him ; and
as Crust was an honest man, everything
promised fair for Amos.
Old Peter Dykes business was sold at
his DEATH according TO his express wish ;
and according to arrangement made be-
tween the miller and the old man, the pro-
ceeds were all invested in the mill--a four
ishing concern-and one out Of which all
the neighbors said fortune must sooner or
later be made.
The prospects Of Amos Dyke, then, were
about as bright as those Of any young
man in his rank Of life in all the country
round.
The miller did not neglect his young
charges education. He gave him the very
best the neghborhood afforded, and acted
honorably by him in every way.
Thus grew up Amos Dyke to manhood
asd side by side with him grew Mary
Crust. And often, if the truth were
known, the worthy miller looked with sat.
isfaction upon them, as they sat one on each
side Of his table, and thought that perhaps
some day, when be was gone, Amos and
Mary would be in their places at the head
aud foot Of the table, and perhaps the mill
will be more hourishing than ever.
There was one drawback to this agreea.
Bile prospect. Amos Dyke was rather Of
a dreamy nature--he was often absent as
though bis thoughts were far away, and he
had to own that many time when he
should have boen attending what he was at
he was building castles in the air instead.
Time passed on, as it will always keep
doing, aud Amos was now 20, and Mary
was lS-and in another year, on New
Years Day, Amos would be Of age, and
would come in for his share of the mill
lie hoped also to come in for his share ol
Mary.
Bat alas there was heavy cloud loom
ing over the Hollington mill. The worthy
miller entered into large-too large .

was about, and if others had been Al

Safely Anchored.

A little sloop, with costly merchandise
on board, was once instrusted to the care
of man.of-war, which was to convoy it
from the Cape of Good Hope to England
For many days they kept together, and
then storm came on When it cleared
again the little sloop was nowhere to be
seen, aud though sharp lookout was kept
for her, it was all in vain.
The commander was very sorry, for be
knew the value Of the rich stores on board
and how precious the lives Of every one Of
that crew were to some little circle at home

o, Sabbath school teacher, how many OF
these precious little barks which We have
conveyed do we lose sight of in our life's
voyage. How many times we mourn over
them as lost, when it may be they are only

may see them anchored safe beside us in
the celestial harbor. Who cannot say, With
