THE COOKS BOY.

Our ship lying in Gibraltar har.
Dor. The day had been remarkably
pleasant one, and hundreds Of people
from the shore had been on board to
examine our specimen of Uncle Sans
naval architecture. After the ham
mocks had been "piped down knot
of old oceans hardy sons collected be-
meath the topgallant forecastle, which
place was their regular "torum." Old
Ben Miller, our second boatswain's
mate, had been quite sober and
thoughtful during the latter part OF the
afternoon and upon being asked the
occasion OF it, he said he had seen
something that brought to his mind a
thrilling circumstance Of by.gone days.
We knew there was yarn on the ;apis
and collected about the old mate, we
awaited its delivery. lie Knocked the
ashes from bis pipe put it in his pock-
ct, and then charging his mouth with Il
generous piece of tobacco, he COM
menced and this is the yarn he
spun:
"lt is now fifteen years ago that /
was a foremast hand on board the old
ship "Hunter." She was from New
York, and bound to India. A man by
the name OF Adam Warren, who was
one of the owners, had taken passage,
and with him were his wife and
daughter. The latter was one Of the
sweetest, prettest little creatures l
ever saw, only about tW elva years old
and as bIithe as lark. They called
her Judith. Oh it would have doue
your souls good to have seen her skip
ping about the deck !-now hiding in
coil of rigging now pulling at some
rope, and then clapplng her little dim
pied hands aa she repeated TIE orders
of the captain. Her merry laugh ran
through the ship like the notes Of our
own native robin, ard the sun seemed
to envy her brightness. Her father was
one OF your business men-a right
down dollar hunter, who didn't seem
to care for much else than the purchase
and sale Of his cargo; and as long AS
his child was well and happy he SEEM
ed to take hut little notice Of her,
though must say, he was a kind
hearted man when you could bring j,
out. Judith's mother was one of your
city aristocracy-a proud Oyer-bearing
woman who seemed 10 think there
was nobody OF any consequence only
the smell Of tar made her
sick. When she was on deck she
always kept smelling-bot,le Il. her
nose, and tell you the truth when l
tell you that her nose was :airly Geek
billed by her eternal snuffing at that
.ame bottle.
"We had boy on board named
Luke Winship, only fourteen years old
who had been put in the galley to
help the cook. He was noble little
fellow, though we hadn't then exactly
Iound it out.
"One evening after we had entered
The southern tropics, Luke was sitting

caught her by tho waist, and with
strength which was surely superhumaI

The angry surge had swept of to thC
leeward, aud the boy and girl nov
rose and fell upon the bosom OF the
long waves, Both tho life buoys
were driven past them, Luke

no held TO the form Of the inscnslhlC

collar Of his jackcl, IIc was lairly
insensiblc when | touched him but
his grasp upon Judith was like adeatl
grip, and sooa they were both in the
boat.
We reached the ship in safety,
Mrs. Warren had tainted but the huS-
band caught the torn Of his daughter
and rushed to the cabin, whittier Luke
was also conveyed, and ore long they
were both brought back to conscious
ness, Mr. Warren pressed the boy to
his bosom aud promised to be father
TO him, and even the rejoiced mother
did not hesitate to look kindly upon
the preseryer Of her daughter.
1t was sometime before Luke recov'
cred but when he did get about, he
wei.t not back to the cooks gally (;
but waited upon the cabin. lie was
now allowed to associate freely with
Judith ; aud many an hour did / see
them sit together upon the poop, list
ing to each Others simple stories.
Sometimes Mrs. Warren look nervous
when she saw them thus, but dared
not forbid it; public opinion was too
strongly against the predjudice which
she still cherished, though IN a modi.
fled form.
We anchored in the Hoogly and
Mr.. Warren went to Calcutta.
He took Luke Winshlp with him; and
from that morning till to-day I
saw him not agaif. Shipmates you
noticed that man with who l was talk.

"And you noticed that splendid
looking woman by his side ?"
eyes, yes"
"WelI," resumed old Ben, as he
brushed away tear from his bronzed
cheek, "that was Luke Winship. Tha.
woman was Judith, and she is now
his wife. Fifteen years have passed
away since we parted at the gangway
of the old ship Hunter but he knew
me the moment he So " me, and so did
Judith. He is now rich merchant
doing heavy shipping business in
New York, and is up here on business.
Ie made the captain promise that /
should 60 on shore and visit him to-
morrow. "Ben," said he as he shook
me by the hand, 81 am rich, but I
have never forgotten, or broke that
sacred promise l made my father on
bis death-bed.' Aud shipmates, I
don't believe he ever has.
As the old boatswain's 5 mate closed
MS yarn, he turned slowly, thought
fully away, and went below, and
soon afterwards we all followed his ex.
ample, no remark we've made by those
who had heard the story but'I could
zee that the sentiments it inculcated

heir noble sympathies.

The Case Of John Strode.

The case of the Territory vs. John
 StrOde was concluded about midnight
 last night ny a verdict of guilty of
 murder in the second degree. We deem this judgment on the part of the jury an ample vindication of the jus tice of the case. In some cOmmuni- ties, possibly, the grade of the crime might have been reduced to man slaughter, but with us it is necessary to rebuke the use of deadly weapons with a sterner voice. The only won der in the matter is, that the courts were ever able to arrive at just con clusiOn, for on the day when the kill ing of Buck took place it is pretty certain that nearly everybody in the was more or less under the influence of liquor, and, especially, -he two men whose quarrel resulted so fatally, and who went about all day 1ourishing revOlvers and abusing each other, were from hour to hour drunkerl md drunker.
