ALONE AT SEA.
A Little Boy Four Days on a Schooner in
the Open Ocean.


from the Philadelphia Times
The lescue of the lad, Adolphus
Parker, who was carried to sea on the
23d inst. III the schooner Twilight, which
broke her mornings at the inlet at At
lantic City and drifted out, has already
been reported. A Times reporter yes
terday secured the following statement
Of Parker's adventurous trip. He said:
" When she first parted her moorings /
thought would run her ashore, but she
struck the wharf and sheered off into the
stream. then threw over q small kedge
anchor, which dragged to the first buoy
and there parted the cable. Noticing
she was fast being driven on the bar,
hoisted sail to keep her off. The surf
boat put out to help me, but turned
back. Meanwhile Z tried to haul her
close to the wind, after clearing the bar,
IN the hope of receiving assistance,
which did not come. I now found my
self fast being driven to sea, and did
not think the schooner would be able to
stand the terrible waves which struck
her. The rigging was poor, sails torn,
and the prospect of her weathering the
gale not very promising. On Wednes-
day night a heavy sea broke over the
wheel. The rigging and deck were COW
cred with ice, and it was with difficulty
/ kept myself from freezing. On
Thursday [ suppose [ was near the Gulf
Stream. There was about foot and a
half Of water in the hold, and heavy
sea rolling. The pumps gave out, and
was forced to bail her out with buck
ct. About 4 o'clock on Thursday after
noon the wind sprung up fresh from the
southeast. I then headed west, and
about 10 o'clock at night was hailed by
a bark, which cleared the schooner by
only ten feet. The schooner's lights
went out, and I took down the starboard
light, reit it, and hung the signal light
in the main rigging en- the port side. On
Friday morning [ sighted land near
Beach Haven, and, after beating about
all day, headed up abreast of Absecom
light. The sea was very rough, and,
failing to bring the vessel into the inlet,
and as the water was up to the cabin
floor, I beached her on Little Brigan-
tine shoals, where was taken off, after
having been without sleep for four days
and three nights

MISS MONTGOMERY'S HEIR.

$50 you have refused my nephew?"
Mrs. Ambrose Montgomery looked Sc
verely at the young girl, who was calmly
tying her bonnet-strings before her mir
ror. She was severe old lady, very
wealthy, about whom futtered poor re-
lttions innumerable. Edna Sergeant
might have counted as one of these,
being certainly very poor, though peo-
pie were apt to say OF her, "proud as
Lucifer himself"
eyes, Aunt Lucille, I refused to marry
Walter Templeton. Since he seems to
have told you, suppose there is no i'm
propriety in my doing the same"
"May I ask your reason?"
Certainly! want my husband, if
ever have one, to be man, filing a
man place in the world, doing a man s
duties. I will never be the wife of a
lazy dandy who dawdles through life,
waiting for o possible fortune"
"Your cousin is very useful to me-"
DOUBTLESS. But J. do not need any
one yet to put my footstool for me, fetch
me shawl, feed my poodle and run my
errands."
"Oh!'

at a mans work Of brain snd hands,"
"Upon my word You had better
marry mechanic. But, pray, take him
away from here if you do. I want no low
fellow claiming kinship with me. I
should think when these plebeian ideas
come into your mind, Miss Sergeant, it
would be well for you to remember the
fact that you can trace your descent
direct from the Pilgrim Fathers !"
I am not likely to forget that fact,
Aunt Lucille, hearing it every day. By
athe way, auntie, do you suppose if our
noble ancestors, the Pilgrim Fathers I
mean, were to present themselves in
your drawing-rooms that you would
recognize them? Imagine them, in
their common clothes, holding by
shabby wives with babies in their arms,
homeless, exiled, coming suddenly upon
you. can hear you now telling John
to put those horrid low people out of
the house."

WashingtOn,s Coffin.

Ever since the attempts to seize the re-
mains of Abraham Lincoln from the sep
ulcher at Springfield, ILL.,, last year, per-
sons in charge of Mount Vernon have
feared some attempt would be made to
steal Washington's coffin, and have late
~ connected the tomb with the residence

to have it all renewed in mourning for
her only sister, Edna's mother.
1t was "dreadfully provoking" of
course, the more so as Edna, really low
ing the peevish invalid who had been her
care for years, could not attend to the
sewing. She was sorrowed sincerely for
many weeks, and then, to Mrs. Mont
gomery's infinite disgust, accepted po-
sltlon as companion to an invalid lady
and went abroad.
81 suppose" her aunt said, when it
was too late, If I had offered you a
salary with home you would have
come when asked you"
And Edna frankly admitted that she
would.
So over the ocean she carried her sor-
rows and her pride, the one fairly stified
for the time under the weight of the 9th
ers. For she missed her mother, she
found her new duties uncongenial and
combining, and she grieved for Walters
love.
She did not regret her decision, know
ing the uncertainty of riches. She saw
no future of usefulness before him, if,
at the end, his aunt disappointed his ex-
pectations She knew him for man
who could turn his brain or hands to no
purpose in life, and for this she despised
him as mere dandified puppet of her
aunts.
Yet in the heart-hunger other new life
she thought often of the glorious capa-
bilities OF her young cousin. She knew
he had mind clear and strong full of

NEEDED LEGISLATION.

The Chicago Icga! Adviser, in discussing
matters that should bc pressed upon the at.
tcntion Of our next General Assembly, says
that it seems to have been regarded tie
best policy, hitherto to so shape our laws Of
the state as to invite capitalists to send
their money here to loan to our citizens.
If such a policy were ever proper and
commendable the day Of its usefulness and
advantages has gone by. In other words, a
condition of things has been in0ugurated
and forced upon the country calling for a
complete and thorough change OF our
laws in this regard. 1t Mas the sharp
practitioners of Illinois that introduced our
present system Of judgment notes and judy.
mcnts by confession. and our trust deeds
and summary sales without redemption, In
times when the currency Of the country
was ample and values were firm there was
no general complaint Of injustice or hard
| ship from this condition of things. But
since the currency has been contracted
down TO gold basis, whereby values have
been generally reduced about two-third, in
amount, the people find that they need
change of policy in their laws, so as to at-
ford them some protection against the OPP
preston Of capital, which is creeping upon
them.
The people of Illinois, therefore, demand
that the laws shall be so amended First.
That the maximum rate eff interest on
money shall he reduced to such reasonable
interest as money ought to be obtained for,
which, at this time is six per cent. Second,
That there shall bc no more judgments by
confession on Judgment notes, so called,
without notice to the defendant and AN OPP
portunty for defense. Third, That there
shall be no more summary sales of lands on
trus, deeds under power Of sale, except
upon the Judgment or decree Of court, with
the right Of redemption, MS in other case,
OF judicial sales.
This subject will command the attention
OF the Legislature Of this State at its scs
sion next winter, and judging from III,
present sentiment Of the people, as quit,
generally expressed, we may look for !
