dFTUHe Wc OulJOTu Cttt.tU.
On Monday morning two oyster
pungies were sailing on the Ches-
apeake bay, bound for Baltimore.
Both were reputed to be fast sail
ers, and,a a stiff breeze was blow
ing at the time, all canvass was
crowded on and both PUNCHES were
doing their "level BEST" On board
one Of the boats was a remarkably
handsome lady, daughter of the
captain, who was sitting on the
deck, waving her handkerchief
and otherwise demonstrating her
enthusiasm eat the apparent sue
cess OF her fathers boat. So deeply
interested in the race had she be-
come, that, forgetting her situa-
ton, she rose up, and just as she
did SO, a heavy sea struck the
BOAT which caused her to loose her
equilibrium, and she tumbled over
the rail into the water. Quick as
\ flash the captain of the compel
ing boat took in the situation, and
giving the helm in charge of the
colored man, he took off his boots
and plunged into the foamlng wa
tiers, and when he rose to the sur
face he held the form Of the girl in
ais arms, By this time the first
boat had rounded to and sent off
a boat to their assistance, and tn ey
were taken on board.
BY skillful manouvering the col
ored man kept his boat as near as
possible without coliding, and his
captain was soon trodding his own
deck. On arriving in Baltimore
both boats landed at the same
wharf, when the father of the girl
declared that the brave man must
ee rewarded, but he refused every
thing offered him. Well,n ex-
claimed the old man, 'ef you won't
take money take my darter; she's
'willin' if you be-
The young fellow, after a mo-
nent's reflection, accepted the Of
fer, and towards the close of the
day they were married. And the
old man told her TO take her, d" for
he was deserving of her."

Some Largo Families.

Says a writer in Az the Year Round
About the year 1900, enc Lady Elphin-
stone died the mother Of thirty six
children, Of whom twenty-scren were
living at one time. The late Bishop
Bathurst, of Norwich, was the twenty
sixth child of Mr.. Bathurst, youngest
brother of the first Lord Bathurst. Eut
this is only part Of the story; for MIR.
Bathurst, who had twenty-five children
by his first wife, and was destined to
have fourteen by his second, making q
good round three dozen altogether.
Rather distinguished in this way were
the Bathursts; for two brothers and a
sister OF his had during their respective
married lives, sixty-four children. which.
with his thirty-six, made just an even
hundred. Another married couple,
Thomas and Helen Crquhart, are ranked
among those who have had thirty-six
children. Tue parents lived at Cromarty
castle, in the early part of the sixteenth
century: their twenty-five % all grew
up to manhood, aud many OF them he.
came distinguished. while the eleven
au ghters all lived to be married, and
many Of them to lie the mothers Of large
families. The Urquhart blood, there
fore, must have beer rather extensively
diffused in Scotland by the end Of the
century. An authenticated case of thirty
nine bro.hess and sisters was afforded
by the Greenhill family in the closing
years Of the seventeenth century. Mr..
Thomas Greenhill, a surgeon, afterward
author OF a treatise on the "AIt of En-
bslming,' addressed in 1898 . memorial
to the duke of Norfolk, in his capacity
as earl marshal Of England: "That in
consideration Of your petitioner leing
the seventh son and thirty.ninth child
Of father and mother, yorr grace
would be pleased to signxlize it ny some
particular motto or augmentation in his
coat OF armor, to transmit to posterity
g uncommon . thing" The College Of
Arms, o Heralds' college, Of which the
hereditary earl marshal Is the official
head, assen:ed to the application of
Thomas Greenhili, BY granting IN addi-
ton TO the armorial bearings Of the
family. In the language Of heraldry.
which Is not very Ineligible to out
sidera, the addition Was In the form Of q
demi-zrifin, powdered with thirty-nine
mullets.

Now is the time to save seed corn.
No farmer Should neglect this a single

Many farmers wait till they husk corn,
when they saw ont the best ears. This

year, as corn is too green.
Let every farmer ave double the
