comes from my lips; depress your guns
SO as take her between wind and water!
Sail trimmers, stand to your sheets and
braces, and be ready for ORDERS"
These orders given, Captain Seawaif
took his position on the larboard side OF
the quarterback and with ill-concealed
delight saw the Englishman range along
until he was almost abeam.
''Haul down your colors, or III sink
you! Strike, you Yankee rebel, strike.r'
shouted the English captain, who stood
on the poop of his vessel in full uniform
steadying himself by holding on to the
mizzen rigging.
''I'm Just going to strike-not my
colors but your cried Seawaif, sarcasti-
cally, and instantly giving the orders
for a broadside.
1t was done with terrible effect for
the British had not anticipated resistance
from the rebel whom they supposed to
be using his best efforts to escape:and
were huddled alorg the deck on the
side next the schooner, and were cut
down in fearful swaths. And as the
sails We're little injured, the sloop-of-
war shot ahead, so that she passed the
schooner before she could return the
broadside.
'Cut away the drags, spring to your
starboard battery@throw in chain
shot as well as grape-and cut her
sticks away" cried Seawaif.
Then ordering the help up, as the
schooner's Roadway increased, he veered
OFT athwart the stern of the sloop, and
as the guns came in range, delivered a
raking fire, which not only swept her
decks, but cutting away her masts,
crippled her completely.
He then hauled on a wind, determin-
ed to- pepper her until she would
"strike," and not wishing to lose any
men at close quarters, if he could help
it. But he had no occasion to use guns
any more; for suddenly, with shock
the sea and air, like an earthquake,
the ill-fated craft WAS seen to fly in
fragments, amid cloud Of smoke, in
to the air
Whether by accident Or design, no
one could tell, but in some way, the
powder in her magazine had been
ignited, and she was blown to atoms.
Prompted by humanity, Captain Sea-
waif instantly ordered the help up, and
steered for the spot where the sloop-of:
war had been, in hopes to save some
surviving persons Of her crew.
But not living soul could be seen. A
few blackened spars and timbers only
met the eye!

The Hair as a Type of Character.

The quality and color of the hair was
a subject of speculative theory for the
ancients. Lank hair was considered
indicative of pusillanimity and cowar-
dice, yet the head of Napoleon was
guiltless of a curl: Frizzly hair was
thought an indication of coarseness and
clumsiness. The hair most in esteem
was that terminating in ringlets.
Dares, the historian, states that Achil-
les and Ajax lebanon had curling
locks; such also was the hair of Timon
the Athenian. AS to the Emperor Au-
gustus, nature had favored him with
such abundant locks that no hair-dreser
in Rome could produce the like. Au-
burn or light brown hair was thought
the most distinguished, as portending
intelligence, industry, a peaceful dis
position, as we'll as great susceptibility
to the tender passion. Castor and Pol
lux had brown hair, SO also had Meme
laus. Black hair does not appear to
have been esteemed by the Romans:
but red hair was an object of aversion.
Ages before the time of Judas red hair
was thought a mark Of reprobation.
both in the case of Typhon, who de-
prived his brother Of the sceptre of
Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar, who &C.
quired it in expiration for his atrocities.
Even the donkey tribe suffered from
this ill-omened visitation, according to
the proverb Of wicked as a red ass
Asses of that color were held in such
detestation among the Copths that
every year they sacrificed one by hr,rl-
ing it from a high WALL

LOST CHARLIE ROSS.
Six Years Of UnavailinS search for
the stolen Boy
Philadelphia Pres

Six years ago Charlie Ross was alb
Quoted from his home under circum-
stances that ought to have rendered his
trail an easy one to pursue. The boy
was so distinctly marked physically that
the attention of even casual passer-by
would have been attracted Moreover
a brother old enough to be observant
was with the abductors long enough to
remember them, even when he saw
them in death, months afterward The
pursuit Of the missing boy, stimulated
by a phenomenal reward, has engaged
the combined private and official de-
tective force of eastern cities for years,
impoverishing the father and resulting
in nothing more positive than the as
certainment of the identity of the alb
ductors. Detective agencies made the
father their prey, and levied contribu-
tions for alleged services that we'll nigh
bankrupt him. Mr.. Ross says of their
services: II was not aided in my search
by any detective, public or private
Every clue that has proved of service I
worked out myself" He might have
added that when the combined detec-
tive talent found itself at fault it turn
ed it's skill toward proving the father
the author of the abduction. They had
already made Il case strong against him
in its Prescriptions when one of the
real abductors, dying of wound re-
ceived in the preparation Of a bur-
glary, declared his participation. And
now, after six years search, the discov-
cry Of the boy seems as far off as it
was on the day his loss was first made
known.

A SALEM PRIVATEER.

1t was in the year 1779, the red sun
had just come up out of the Atlantic,
and now frightened the slightly-rippled
waters of Salem harbor. The sails of
the Tyrannicide privateer, Captain Sea-
short, and she only waited for the
change Of the tide to commence her
cruise.
She was, for that era, astonishingly
clipperish, raking in spars, sharp in hull
and calculated to carry all astonishing
quantity of canvass. Her rig was that
of a psail-schooner-her lower
masts being long and heavy, so as to
carry large fore-and-aft-sails. Her bur-
den appeared to be about 800 tons. She
was pierced by eight twenty-four pound
carronades on side; and a long brass
thirty-two pounde working on a pivot,
shone bright as gold betweet her masts,
mounted high enough to work above her
could be seen the CLEAN of boarding
pixies and battle-axes. At her main
mast-heads blood-red flag hoated out,
bearing the motto-"Death to Tyrants"
At the fore-truck, another red flag bore
the name Of the schooner ''The Tyran-
ncide." Her fgure-head was serpent
striking his fangs into the heart Of a
man who wore Il crown. Taking her
altogether, she was indeed dangerous
and saucy-looking craft, calculated to
both sail and fight well, Upon her deck
many men could be seen, showing that
if she had "teeth" she had also strength
to use them.
All Of her boats had been hoisted in
but the captains gig, and the officers
were watching the tide very inpatient
ly for its turn.
Presently Seawaif appeared at the
end of the warf. The young captain
sprung into his boat amid the applause
of hundreds Of citizens who had gather
ed there to see the privateer 60 to sea,
and in moment he was on board of
his vessel.
With Il clear, bugle-ike voice, which
needed no trumpet, the young comman-
der shouted:
"Man the capstan bars, lads, and
run the anchor up with a will. Stand
by the jib and hying-jib halliards-
the head yards back p
LILO OAOClo Nclc ODcJ W 1Ct1uily tl4A
III few moments the second officer,
who stood on the forcastle looking over
the bows cried:
''She's broken ground, STRIP
Every well sir; run up the jib and
hying-jib, and haul the sheets to star
board-man the top-gallant and top
sail sheets and halliards Round with
capstan, men, and run the anchor up
to the bows -
A moment later, and the head-sails
were up, the veering of the schooner
proved her to be all awaight, and then
came the order:
"sheet home, and hoist away top
sail and top gallant sails p
This was done; and, as the fore and
aft sails, already up, filled, the schoon-
er began to gather Roadway. Then, as
she fell off before the wind, which was
fair out of the harbor, her square sails
filed, and she shot ahead with increas-
ed velocity. The crowd on the shore
looking with delight at the splendid
vessel, and gladdened, too, at the

Queen Victoria is said to pride her
self exceedingly upon her beautiful COL
lection of miniatures and she is accus-
toned to boast with a laugh, that in
this respect she has only one rival in
Great Britain, and that is the Duke of
Buccleuch. The Queen maintains her
fondness for art, and though now over
60, still sketches from nature with much
skill and taste.

THE TWO BRIDES.
BY JULIA pORE.

We two will stand in the shadow here,
TO see the bride as she passes by:
Ring soft and low, ring loud and clear
Ye Ginning bells that swing ON high,
Look! look! she comes! The air grows sweet
With the fragrant breath Of the orange blooms
And the flowers she trea,lS beneath hor feet
Die in flood Of rare perfumes.
She comes she comes. the happy bells
With their joyous clu.nor hill the air.
While the great organ dies and swells,
Soaring to trembling heights of prayer.
Oh! rare are her robes Of Siken sheen,
And the pearls that CLEAN on her bosom's snow
But rarer the grace Vi her royal mien,
Her hairs fine gold and her checks yOun
glow.
Dainty and fresh as il folded rose
Fresh as /. violet dewey sweet,
Chaste us lily, she hardly knows
That there rough paths for other feet;
For love hath shielded her: honor kept
Watch beside her by night and day
And evil out from her sight had crept,
Trailing with slow length far away.
Now in her perfect womanhool,
In all the wealth of her matches charms,
Lovely and beautiful pure and good
She yields herself to her lovers arms.
Hank! how the jubilant voices ring,
Lo! as we stand in the shadow here
While far above til. gay bells swing,
catch the CLEAN Of happy tear.
The pageant is over. Come with me
10 the other side OF the town. pray,
Ere the sun goes down in tie darkening sea,
And night falls around us, chill and gray.
In the dim church porch an hour ago
We waited the brides fair face to see:
Now life has saller sight to show:
a darker picture for you and me.
No need to seek for the shadow here:
There are shadows lurking everywhere:
These streets in the brightest day are drear,
And black MS the bl ackness OF despair.
But this is the house. Take heed, my friend:
The stairs are rotten. the way Is dim.
And up the flights, as we still ascend,
Creep stealthy phantoms dark and grim.
Enter this chamber. Day by day,
Alone in this chill and ghoStly room.
A chid-a woman-which is it: pray
Despairinyly waits for the hour Of doom!
All! rs she wriny5 her hands 80 pale
No CLEAN Of il wedding ring you see:
There is nothing to tell. You know the tale
God help her now in her misery.
Idare not judge her. I only know
That love was to her i sin and snare.
While to the bride Of an hour ago
It brought all blessings its hands could bear.
I only know that to one it came
Laden with honor and JOY and peace
It's gifts to the other Wore woe and shame.
And IL burning pain that shall never cease.
I only know that the soul of one
Has been pearl i'll golden case
That of the other pebble thrown
Idly down in wayside place,
Where all day long strange footsteps trOd.
And the bold, bright sun drank up the dew
You both were women. 0, righteous God!
Thou only can judge between the two.

Colonel Gordon, the Englishman
famous for bravery in China, has re-
fused his appointment as private secre-
tary to the Viceroy of India. The Col
onel is said to be particularly eccen-
trio man, and is so honest and clever in
his own special line that his eccentric
ity is overlooked. On his last visit to
England he was invited to dine with the
Prince of Wales, and refused. 1t would
be impossible for him to 60, he said; he
was always in bed at half-past 8; and he
did not 20.

Three Brothers Marry Three Sisters.

MOnCfcdl W lCleSS.
It does not often occur that three
brothers are married to the same num-
Der ofsisters, and when such an ocur-
renee does take place it is worthy of
record. Henry Putnam, of Niagara
township, married Miss Elizabeth Bury
some seventeen or eighteen years ago,
and, with the help of his better half,
has worked his way up in the world,
and is now one of the leading farmers
of the county of Lincoln. Andrew Put
nam, seeing that his brother had done
so well in the married state, sought after
and married Miss Sarah Bury last jan
uary. Jacob Putnam, not wishing to
be outdone by his elder brothers, court
ed and married Miss Mary Bury on the
Oath ultimo. Jacob Was a widower.
Miss Mary Bury had lived with her sis
ter and brother-in-law, Mr.. Henry Put
mum, for the last fifteen years.
