THE STORY TOLD by CAPTAIN TYLER, OF
THE SCHOONER ANN Z. CARLL.
Captain Tyler, of the schooner Ann T..
CARL, which was wrecked off Sayo Key
south coast of Cuba, has arrived at his
home, Northport, J.. l., and tells an in
teresting story of his misfortunes an ad-
ventures. The schooner was making a
very quick passage when hurricane
struck her. She was driven at its mercy
for four days, and ON the fifth, after beat
ing over two coral-reefs, she was forced
back aground on the key-a small, ,desolatc
island, the only inhabitants being num-
Der of alligators, which swarmed around
during the first night and came near
devouring the crew. In fact they were
only kept off by fire which the sailors
succeeded in kindlng.
The key is about sixty miles from the
mainland, and out of the usual track of
OF vessels, but soon after the CARL had
thus been wrecked her crew were the
means of saving a Spanish and an Eng
hsh crew, whose vessels had gone to
pieces, and Captain Tyler, finding that

A Human Break Water.

The London Builder says: The bursts of rain iu the Carnatic are tremendous. As much as five inches of rain fall in a single night is not unffequent, and Sir A. Cotton has known as much as 19 inches to fall in that time. The small est Till that is allowed to trickle over an earthen bank wears itself passage and becomes a destructive torrent with extreme rapidity. On one occasion, the water in the Veranum tank is said to have overfowed the whole 12 miles of the bund and to have reached it in 13 places. On another occasion, the engineer ill charge of a bund, finding the water rise with more rapidity than he was able to meet by the supply with earth, made wall of the bodies of his laborers, causing them to lie down close to one another on the top of the threatened part of the dam and thus keeping back the two or three inches of water, which if unchecked, would soon have wrecked the whole bund and ruined wild district, until their places could be supplied by basketfuls of earth. It was an original expedient, but it saved the district. What the laborers said about it we have not heard.

THE steamers of the North German Lloyd, running between New York, Southampton and Bremen have well earned reputation for safety, comfort and speed. This line was inaugurated in 1857, and has thus been in successful operation for twenty years, during which period over 600, ,0O0 passengers have been conveyed by their steamers. The Company's fleet consists of twenty five strongly built iron screw steamers of 5000 tons and 700 horse power, com- manded by experienced captains and provided with every appliance for the safety and comfort of travellers. Pas sengers will find this the shortest and most pleasant route to London, South ampton, Havre, Paris and Bremen, and to any point in the interior of Germany. The well known firm of Messrs. Oel- richs & Co.,, ? Bowling Green, New York, are agents of the line.

Don't Lose 8 Minute.

Keep busy.-The man who has noth- ing to do is the most miserable of beings. If you have no regular work, do chores, as farmers do when it rains too hard to work in the field. In occu- patton we forget our trouble, and get a respite from sorrow. The man whose mind and hands are busy finds no time to weep and wail.-If work is slack, spend the time in getting ready. No man knew too much.-The hardest students in the world are the old men who know the most. If you lack books, there are free or very cheap libraries, at least in :. the cities, ,jats your command. The man who does not acquire some item of use- full information between daybreak and bedtime must mournfully say, with the Roman Emperor, "I have lost a day"

An Indian Legend.

The Pawlinska Indian Journal says: The existence of an ancient Indian vil- lage at Paragooonah, Utah, about 2OS miles from Ploche, is reported. The houses now covered with trees and brush, were arranged in uniform rows, and were about eight by nine feet in size. They were all two story, built of adobe, supported by pillars of sand stone rock. The only entrance discov- erable was 8 sort of man-hole in the top. Bone needles, rude appliances for grinding corn, and other relics were found in several of the houses. There is tradition among the Indians of that region that long years ago the tribe that inhabited this village brought about their anhihilation by their own preposterious opinions. They were quite prosperous people, and refused to associate with the Sioux, Shosones, and other tribes. Indeed they were far above the savages, insomueh as some of them were real giants, and walked the western plains Goliahs in power and size. They were winter than most American descendants of Shem. They however, had their developed caudal appendage. They refused to believe in the Great Spirit and declared they could remember when they existed as four legged animals. Their remote ancestors could trace their origin to the serpentine world and told how their ancestors conld relate when the first member of the race had absolutely sprung into being from nothing.-The other Indians did not take to this idea. On account of this preposterious piece of ignorance, this peculiar race would have nothing to do with other tribes. They also looked upon their beliefs in 8 hereafter as all foolishness.-They were very persistent in their denuncia- tions and brought thewhole spirit world upon them. These characters deter
 mined to avenge themselves for the in
 dignity offered them. The long and short of the matter was that an army
 of them swept down upon the the ir. reverent wretches one night and car
 ried off the whole tribe. Not word a has been heard of them since.

SUNDRY MATTERs.-Be careful of lights in the barns and stables. Safe lanterns only should be used. We have used the glass globe lanterns, protected with wire, for many years without the least accident, or breaking one of them. Only perfectly safe oil should be used. With good oils if lamp should fall, there can be no fire if it is picked up again immediately. Choose perfectly solvent insurance company in which to be insured, and take no risks. Keep roofs, roads and sidewalks clear of snow. Ventilate the cellars whenever the wea- ther is sufficiently mild. A tub of water placed in cellar on very cold nights will protect fruit or vegetables from freezing. Clean up all machines and tools ahd oil them, coat the bright parts with tallow, and cover them to keep out dust and dirt. Prepare for packing ice bye-and-bye, or pack it now if possible. A few loads of sawdust should be hauled when convenient, so that it will be ready when wanted; when the wagon box is filled, pile on filled bags to com plete the load. Keep the shoes of horses and oxen sharpened or roughened, and do not attempt to drive unshod oxen 1; it is poor economy to save set of shoes and lose half of their working power.

BIRDS.
Music of upper air

& Music of upper air - Palmer to mortal ear than stars low song, What tremulous joy embodied do ye bear, Floating afar, along?
 The forest knows it well, For breezes tell it to it's countless leaves; It rings from every floweret's lowly bell; And where the spider weaves His fne-drawn lines each day, Stretching across the grasses slender spires, There summer winds do sing it as they play
 Upon @olian Tyres.
 Music of upper air While man doth sing his minor song below, Above, in ether pure what joy ye bear -t- Far from his grief and woe.

The PedIeree Of Words.

A study of the pedigree of many words which are in daily use would prove more fascinating than any other kind of mental recreation. Trench in his little work on the Study of Words. has done much to cultivate the taste for this kind of investigation; but he made only beginning. The field is inex- haustible. In this article we propose to give a short list, to which we shall add from time to time:
 "Jet" derives it's name from the Ga gates, river of Lycia, where was found the black stone which the French called gagate, or jaet, which we abbre- viated into jet.
 Pamphylla, a Greek lady, who com piled history of the world in 32 little books has given her name to the "pam- phlet."
 Punch and Judy are the relics of an ancient mystery play, in which the actors were Pontius Pilate and Judas Iscariot.
 Dollar is from the German thaler and is derived from Thai, the valley of Joachim in Bohemia, where the silver works were situated that made this coin.
 Bigot is from Visigoth, in which the fierce and intolerant Arianism of the Visigothic conqueror of Spain has been handed down to infamy.
 Humbug is from Hamburgh; Ca piece of Hamburgh news"was, in Ger many, proverbial expression for false political rumors.
 "Exhort" and "yeast" are from the same root, which signifies something boiling or overfiowing.
 "Gas" and "Gust'' have the same parentage.
 E'Blue Jeans Williams'' probably does not know that the fabric from which he derives his name was origi- nally made by Moors at Jaen in Spain.
 "Gauze" derives its name from Gaza, where it was first made.
 Damask silk was first made at Damas- GUS.
 The word "panic" has curious ori- gin. According to Herodotus the god Pan was supposed to have assisted the Greeks at the battle of Marathon, 49C B. O., striking such a terror into the Persian hosts, that they fled to their ships in perfect dismay. From that time the Greek term panikon was used to describe unreasonable or sudden and overpowering fear.
 "Tabby- cat" is all unconscious that her name is derived from Atab, a fam ous street in Bagdad, inhabited by the manufacturers of silken stutfs called Atabi, or Taffety; the wavy markings of the watered silk resembling pussy's coat"
 sOld Scratch" is the demon of Skratt who still survives in the superstitions of Northern Europe.
 'EOld Nick" is none other than Nikr the dangerous water demon of Scandi. navian legend.
 In the phraze "Deuce take iti" the deity Tiw still continues to be invoked In his book De CiUitate Dei, Augustine speaks of "quosdam damones dusios Galli nuncupant."
 The lemon takes it's name from the city of Lima.
 Loadstone is a corrupted translation of Lydjus lapis, the stone of Lydia.
 The money reminds us that the coin. age of the Romans was struck at the temple of Juno Monieta, the goddess o1 counsel.-Transyl0ania Presbyterian.

HOP YEAsT.-Boil half pint of hops in two quarts of water till the strength is extracted. Rub half a pint of flour smooth with cold water, strain the tea and mix it in; let it cook slowly like mush from five to ten minutes. Let it cool, and then add gill of yeast and two nicely mashed boiled potatoes, and put it in stone jug or bottles to rise. A tin coffee pot should be kept to boil hops in, as the bitter taste is hard to re- move from the kettle.
