IIAMBuRG. Jan. 22. THE Dlamaut, one
Of the steamers sent III search Of the missing
passengers and crew Of the Cimbria, arrived
here this afternoon, with 10 passengers and
a fireman Of the ill-fated vessel. The res
cued passengers state that after having left

they sought refuge in some OF
the rigging OF the CinlbTia, which
was still above water They remained
In this position ten hours, freezing and ex-
pecting that every minute weuid be their

drowned upon its capsizing, and many
Others, after reaching the gging were
obliged TO release their hold aud were
drowned. The survivors describe the scenes
as horrib and hearuending.

quilted In the waves. The passengers affirm

been heard on board the Sultan,

A Man Sings a Mouse to. Death.

A New England lady writes: "Quitep
late the other evening my husband was
humming a lively air, playfully keeping
time with his feet as he sat in his easy
chair, when he suddenly stopped and
said: DO see that mouse!' 1t was only
about four feet away and it did not
manifest any fear. 1 said it is charmed
with your singing. He began again,
and going nearer sat down on the floor,
resting his hand on the carpet. The
mouse first ran q little further AWAY,
then came back and ran up his. hand
and arm, until he moved to prevent its
going to his neck. 1 took it from his
shoulder, but it instantly jumped to- the
floor and ran away in another direction.
Mr.. P. again sat down on the floor and
the mouse came running back to- him,
when, finding it injured beyond recov-
cry, he put an end to its 'sufferings.
We have never before seen a mouse in
that room, though troubled with them
in the pantry and kitchen. 1t seemed
to have been attracted by the singingto
come in under the door to find help or
sympathy, else why manifest such q
preference for Mr.. Pr"

Stingy Dayy.

Davy was a very pretty little Boy
He had light curly hair, dark blue eyes,,
and rosy cheeks. But he was very
stingy. He did not like to share any
thing with his little brothers and. sis
tiers. One day he went into the kitchen
where his mother was at work, and saw
on the table a saucer of jelly.
"Can I have that jellye" asked
Davy:
"Mrs. White sent it to me-" said
Davy's mother. "She has company to
dinner, and made this jelly very nice.
But 1 don't are for it; so you may
have it if you won't be stingy with it,"
Davy took the saucer Of jelly and
went out into the yard; but he did not
call his little brothers and sisters to
help him eat it.
elf I divide with them, there won't
be a spoonful apiece" he thought.
sit is better for one to have enough
than for each to have just a little"
So he ran to the barn and climbed up
to the loft, where he was sure no one
would think of looking for him.
just as he began to eat the Jelly he
heard his sister Fannie calling him.
But he did not answer her. He kept
very still. :
''They always want some of every
thing l have" he said to himself.
elf [ had just a ginger-snap they think
1 ought to give them each a piece"
When the jelly was all eaten, and he
had scraped the saucer clean, Davy vent
down into the barn-yard and played
with the little white calf, and hunted
for eggs in the shed where the cows
were. He was ashamed to go into the
house, for he knew he had been very
stingy about the Jelly.
20, Davy," said Fannie, running into
the ~barn-yard, 'where have you been
this long time? We looked everywhere
for you" -all =,
tWha did you want" asked Davy,
thinking that, of course, his sister would
say she had wanted him to share the
jelly with her.
Mother gave us a party" said Fan
ME. "We had all the dolls dishes set
out on a little table under the big tree
by the porch: and we had Strawberries,
cake and raisins. Just as we sat, down
to eat, Mrs. White saw us from the >iA-
dow, and she sent over big bowl of ice
cream and some jelly, left from her din
ner. We had a splendid time. You
ought to have been with u.s."
Poor Davy! How mean he felt!,. And
he was well punished for eating hisjelly
all alone.-Our Little Ones. 49,

1t; Andsso he had; but he employed d
Wild .Sllnerah1ndanca of words To Ell.

1t. Andsso he had; but he employed d
press his thoughts. For example:
"There are many persons, the majority
of persons, in: fact, who see, but do NOT
perceive" This awkward sentence be-
comes a good one by simply leaving out
the redundant words, thus: 1.-THE ma
jority of persons see, but do not per-
ceive." 1t would be still better, per-
haps, to avoid the long majority, and
say: "Most persons ee, but do not
perceive" Thus by erasing nine
words from a sentence of sixteen, the
thought is more clearly expressed be-
cause it is more directly stated. The
writer then remarks that many persons
have q habit of "postponing and put
ting off" what ought to be done at
once. The words "and postponing"
are useless. In explaining the .'pro-
cess" by which men are to get gump-
ton, he throws about his words with q
lavish hand.
"It is neither" he says, "more nor
less than the doing and completing of
anything that needs to be done upon
the instant, without delay or postpone
ment, and at the same time a careful
observation of what is going on around
one" By the omission of more than
half the words of this bad sentence, it
is converted into a fairly tolerable one.
I'll is the doing of what needs TO be
done on the instant, and carefully OBJ
serving what is going on around.' We
advise II young readers, after they
have "done" their compositions, to
let them lie in their desks awhile, "to
get cool,' as Washington Irving used
to say. Then go over them again,
bearing in mind Sydney Smiths recipe
for good writing: "Leave out every
other word" It is often possible to
obey this rule almost literally, as we
see in the sentences quoted above.
Daniel Webster tells us that whatever
excellence he may have attained in the
art of composition, be owed to a dis
covery he made when he was, about
nineteen years old. He learned that
:. all true power in writing is in, the
idea, not in the style" From that
time he pruncd his sentences Of re.-
dundant words, and gave his ideas with
directness and simplicity. ~. W
