Saved by an AIbatross.

During q voyage made by the bark
Gladstone from London to Sydney, in
Australia, on the 22d of October, while
the vessel was in latitude fortytwo de-
grees south, and longitude ninety de-
grees east, a seaman fell overheard from
the starboard gangway. The bark was
scudding along with rough sea and
moderate wind, but on the alarm of
Man overheard" being given, she was
rounded to, and the starboard life-boat
was lowered, manned by the chief Off
Ger and four men.
A search for the unfortunate man was
made, but owing to the roughness of the
sea he could not be discovered, but the
boat steered to the spot where he was
last seen. Here they found him floating,
but exhausted, clinging for bare life to
the legs and wings of huge albatross.
The bird had swooped down on the
man while the latter was struggling with
the waves, and attempted to peck him
with his powerful beak. Twice the bird
attacked his prey unsuccessfully, being
beaten off by the desperate sailor bat
ting with two enemies-the water and
the albatross-both greedy and insatia-
BILE. For the third time the huge white
form of the bird lowered over the sea-
man preparatory to final swoop.
The bird, eager for it's meal, famed
its victim with its widespread wings.
Suddenly it occurred to him that the
huge form so close to his face might be-
come his involuntary rescuer. Quick as
thought he reached up and seized the
bird, which he proceeded to strange
with all his might. The huge creature
struggled with wings and paddles to free
itself.
In the contest the sailor was beaten
black and blue, and cruelty lacerated,
but he held his own, and slowly the bird
quivered and died. The carcass foated
lightly on the waves, its feathers form.
ing support for the exhausted man,
who had SO narrowly escaped lingering
death.
But another danger awaited him. He
was not much of swimmer, and the
excitement of the extraordinary conflict
began to tell upon him. He was faint
! and grew giddy. But with one arm
around the albatross' body under the
wings, and hand clutching the birds
feet, the sailor awaited his chance OF
rescue. Presently he heard his com
rades shout from the boat, and in a few
minutes more was safe on board the bark
though a good deal shaken and ex

A Morse r arm.
(From Macmillan's Magazine.

From Macm1llan's Magaz1ne.I
Our interpreter, like many of his class
in Norway. was an excellent cook, and
we perhaps valued his services most in
the latter capacity, as We ourselves pos
sessed sufficient knowledge of the Ian
guage for all ordinary purposes. He
was assisted by the farmers wife, who
owned the house and kept us supplied
with milk and butter from her dairy.
It was a comparatively rich farm, where
they pastured fourteen COWS this sum-
mer, for the hay harvest had been good
last year, and upon the excellence of the
crop depends the number of cattle these
poor people keep through the winter, as
they never buy or sell fodder, each
farmer maintaining as large a stock as
his own land can feed. There were
more than twenty farms in this little
valley, only four miles long; few had
tenant proprietors, but the greater part
were rented by their occupiers, who
have always to pay down large sum on
taking possession, with proportionate-
ly reduced yearly rent. The landlords
do not seem to take much interest In
their property, and as for improvements,
there is no likelihood of disputes on this
neaQ, as GnlngS are just Wn0fe Gn0y were
500 years ago. At the age of so it is the
custom for the farmer to make over the
holding to his son, receiving a sum of
money for his interest and promise
that the son will house and feed HIM for
the rest of his days. Thus the old couple
have quiet old age secured to them,
and the farm is worked by active hands.
Whether these arrangements have legal
sanction we know not, but they certainly
form the regular observance of district
in many ways remarkable for its main
tenance of ancient customs. One of the
most curious is the habit of using patro-
nymics, which has died out in many
parts of Norway, but is still retained
here, and causes great dealof confusion
in successive generations, especially DIS it
is the rule for the eldest son always to
be baptized with his grandfather's
Christian name; thus Eric. whose father
was Lars, is simply Eric Larsen, and is
bound to call his his eldest son Lars
Ericsen. A wife, too, does not adopt
her husbands name, but remains with
the euphonious title of, let us say,
Petrina Jacobsdatter.

A Queer Lawyer.
(From Temple Bar. ]


Ballantine tells a story of Sir Charles
Wetherell, that he escaped from the fury
of the Bristol mob in clean shirt and q
pair of braces. Now, st. Charles, in a
momentary fit of weakness, might have
been induced to put on a clean shirt,
but nobody could ever have persuaded
him into braces. He was most effect
i've and violent speaker in the house of
commons, and owing to his exertions
there was usually wide gap in his ha-
biliment. The speaker said the only lucid
interval he had was between his waist
coat and breeches. Some lawyers went
one morning to his chambers for con-
sultation. They were ushered into a
room, and after waiting a considerable
time they rang the bell for the servant,
and on his appearance asked when Sir
Charles would be ready. ooh, [ think
it will be very soon, was the answer,
:" for he has just put his razor in his
teapot"

SONG
BY SAMUEL MINTURN PECK.

Go hold the rose to thy cheek,
And Irvine them n thy hair;
60 gaze into their hearts and seek
The message hidden there;
And when they softly, sweet]y tell
Their secret, pray thee listen well,
And dream tits who speak.
Go wander where. low murmuring,
The brooklet glides anear,
And trembling willows droop and cling
With Bonded heads to hear;
And when the steamlet, ripping by,
Repeats its wooing melody.
Oh, dream tits / who sing
Sweetheart, as fadeless perfumes throng
From roses long since crushed.
And as the brooklet's tender song
Is never, never hushed,
So will my heart keep, day and night,
Its peerless love forever bright,
Through sorrow and through wrong.
