Terrible Story from the Sea.

MT. Webster, Broughty Ferry, near Dundee, has received letter from his son, who was second mate of the Clyde ship Arracan, burned at sea on her voyage from Shields to Bombay with coals. The Arracan left Shields on the 11th of September last. On the 14th of February her cargo ignited. On the 20th, she was on fire from stem to stern, and the crew were compelled to aban- don her.. They left in three boats. The first, under the command of the captain, was picked up by the City of Poonah, and the men were landed at Alden; the gig, commanded by the chief officer, made the land at Cochin but the pinnace, under the charge of the second mate, MT. Webster, pro- visioned for only seventeen days, drifted about in the Indian Ocean for thirty three days until fallen in with by the City of Manchester and landed at Cal cutta. When picked up the poor fel- lows were 600 miles from the nearest land, and were in sad condition. Mr. Webster, in his statement, says
 "In addition to myself, there were three men and boy on board on the 10th of March. The men cast lots as to who should be killed, and the lot fell upon the boy. Iwould not allow them to kill him, and threatened to shoot the first man who should lay hand upon him. Things went on in this way for two days, when one of the men tried to sink the boat. and said he would have the boys life in twelve hours. I pre- sented my gun at him, and had no sooner done so than bird flew over the boat. I fired and killed it. It was iu- stantly secured and devoured, feathers. bones, and all. We subsisted after this on barnacles, which adhered to the sides and bottom of the boat, and on sea blubber, which was ravenously laid hold of as it fioated past. Delirious with hunger, one of the men named Layford asked to be killed. Another named Davies struck him on the head with a belaying pin. The blood was caught in tin and eagerly drank be- tween the two. I threw the tin over- board. The same day these two men fought and bit one another. They then shook hands and laughed and kissed each other like madmen. At last," says MT. Webster, "we were, through the mercy of God, picked up by Capt. Har- die, of the City of Mancherter, by whom we were very kindly treated and brought to Calcutta"
 The surgeon of the steamer who res- cued the men says they were in g wretched condition. They could not stand on their feet, their eyes started from their sockets, and they were per- feet skeletons. Altogether they pre- sented the most painful sight he ever beheld. The most cautious treatment had to be employed in bringing about their recovery.

Vinegar Bitters.

The great merit of VINEGAR BrTTEBs has made them the leading medicine of the day, and respectable druggists everywhere write: "They are the best and most popular preparation in the market, They have stood the test of public opinion and won, confidence. They sell rapidly because they cure. If you are sick you want reliable medi- cine. VNEaER BITTERs commend them selves to the ailing and afflicted, as they are deficient in one thing alone, viz :: the stimulant that unduly excites the brain, and creates a morbid thirst for spirits There is no phase of Indiges- tion, Biliousness, Nervous Disease, or Physical Debility, in which they will not effect cure. Invalids who are wasting away from a want of proper action in the liver, stomach and bowels, will find them constitutional specific, and @ fountain of vitality and vigor as refreshing and exhilarating as cool, gushing spring of water to the parched and fainting traveller in the desert.- Com.

A Touching Speech.

In the village of Brockport, Monroe county, the Excise Board met to take action on licenses. The Rochester Express says There was large at tendance of ladies, who had assembled to protest against the granting of licenses to sell liquor. They spoke of the evil effects of intemperance, and urged the Board to prevent the sale of liquors altogether.
 MT. Randall, the President, fully sympathized with the ladies in their anxiety to prevent the opportunities and the temptations to drink which be- set young men in the village. He said that about one year ago he lost a promising and beloved son by means of intemperance, into which he had been led through the enticements of the saloons. Producing a photograph of the boy, he held it up to the gaze of his associates and the assemblage as an illustration of the loss he had sustain ed. He said:
 "Look upon this picture. My only son, who had grown to manhood, and upon whom expected to lean for sup port in my declining years. You have given him poison and killed him. But forgive you ye knew not what ye did. Shall license you again to pur. sue this dreadful traffic? Never There was time when the sale of liquor was not looked upon as so great 8 crime. when dealers were more careful of what they did, and the restrictive laws were respected but latterly these laws are treated with contumely, and many deal. CTS defy them, while rarely one obeya them in entire good faith. For one he would refuse to permit the traffic tc continue"
 This address produced profound sensation, and the allusion to the loss of his only son brought tears to the eyes of many of the large audience.

The Young Wife.

The young wife should remember that she has chosen her own lot in life j; she has connected it with her husband ]; and, if by decree of an all-wise Provi- dence, he becomes embarrassed, it is her duty to aid him by her kindness not to mutter or oppress him by her ill-temper. Upon the male sex the task of providing the means of subsist- ence is, in civilized society, almost ex- clusively imposed and, consequently, when they become distressed and have not wherewithal to provide for their partners, they suffer doubly. They have not only their privations toregret, but yours also and the worlds frown, and the worlds (oftentimes uniust) censure, falls exclusively upon the hus- band. The wife can hide herself from the world, but the husband must face it's pride-its prosperity. May all young wives be permanently prosperous but, for their own sakes, and for the honor of womanhood, we admonish them not to depart from that affectionate con duct, in word or deed, which they owe to their husbands, and to conduct themselves in such manner as to do away with the truth of the old proverb, "When poverty comes in at the door, love flies out at the window.

A Simple Disinfectant.

Roasted coffee, says The Home opathic World, is one most powerful means, not only of rendering animal and vegetable eff1uvia innocuous, but of actually destroying them. In proof of this, the statement is made that 8 room in which meat, in an advanced de- gree of decomposition, has been kept for some time, was instantly deprived of all smell on an open coffee-roaster being carried through it containing one pound of newly roasted coffee; and in another room, the ef1uvium occasioned by the clearing out of cesspool, so that sulphureted hydrogen and am- monia could be clearely detected, was entirely removed within half minute on the employment of three ounces of fresh coffee. The best mode is to dry the raw bean, pound it to mortar, and then roast the powder on moderately heated iron plate until it assumes 8 dark brown hue; it is in this state ready for use. -.s- ...E .ss
