~ Can Swim, SIR

During terrible naval battle between
The English and tie Dutch. the English
flagship. commanded by Admiral Narbcr.
ough. was drawn into the thickes: Of the
night. Two uastS were soon shot away.
and The Eainmast fell with fearful crash
upon the deck. Admiral Marlborough saw
that all was lost unless he coult! bring ND
lis ships from the right. Hastily sclaul-
ing an order, he called for volunteers to
vim across the boiling water under the
hiil of shot and shtll. a dozen sailols al,
once offered their services. and amongst
them was 4 cabin boy.
"Why," said the Admiral. "what can
you do. my fearless lad =
IL can swim. SIR" the boy replied. "Jf

one clse.''
Marlborough hesitatcd his men were
few and his position WAS desperate. The
boy plunged into the sea amid the cheers
"f the sailors. and was soon lost TO sight.
The battle ragged tier err. and as time went
on defeat seemed inevitable. But lust
when hope was fading 4 laundering cam
nonade was heard from the right and the
reserve WAS seen bearing down upon the
enemy. By sunset the Dutch fleet was
scattered far and wide. and the cabin bow,
the hero OF the hour. was called TO receive
The honor due him. His modesty and
bearing so won the heart of the old Ad-
miral that he exclaimed

Of your own"
The prediction was fulfilled when the |

Young ladies' of the present day would
lie rather shocked if they were obliged to
endure the mOnotonous life OF the girl of
II century ago. She was taught to en-
hroider, to sing and 10 dance The minuct.
She carried herself upright, aud sat habit
ually on the edge of her chair. ant never
leaned back. Whether she was modest at
heart or not, she assumed a modest de-
meanor. She looked down when gentle
men spoke to her. and was shocked when
they peeped under her bonnet. which was
really something to do in those DAYS. She
wore her dress very low in tho neck. and
very short in the sleeves. because it was
the fashion. She always spoke respectful
ly TO her elders, and sat in Il corner until
the gentlemen who admired her sought
her out. When she danced she gave the
tips Of her fingers TO her partner. and
avflen he paid her compliments she blush
