New YoRK, Dec. 27.-Captain Park, o.
the Ship Alert, burned at sea November
Il, arrived to-day rs n passenger on the
steamer Maranhouse. from Para. Hesaid:
"The Alert sailed from Now York October
%, for Shanghai, with cargo Of 10000
cases oil oil, and crew Of eighteen per.
sons, besides the. Captains wife and chill
dren. On the morning OF November II,
latitude 81 N, longitude 20.lO w, where
tho trades winds were lost, heavy,
threatening weather prevailed. At 10
o'clock a. ~, rain fell in torrents, accom-.
panied by vivid flashes Of lightning, which
struck the fore.royal mast, carrying il
away, and cutting some of the running
gear and taking large piece out Of the
fore-royal.: The shock felled the men to
the deck. At 1880 o'clock A. N. smoke
was seen coming from the fore hatch.
ordered the hatcies caulked down, which
was done in part, when they were blown
oil by an explosion, which threw the men
to each side OF the ship. Clouds OF smoke
filled the air, and the flames were seen
near the hatch, and all parts OF the ship
were soon enveloped in smoke.
II ordered the boats cleared away, and
prepared to leave the ship. At 80 we
were all in three boats, with some cloth
ing and provisions, and soon after our
leaving the ship was ablaze. At dark we
made the boats fast astern OF each other,
and lay by the burning ship, hoping some
passing vessel would be attracted be the
light and come to our rescue. Next morn
ing allSwere- rescued by the steamer
Comte dEu, from Havre 10 Pernambuco.
Not being able to speak or understand
French, while the others did not under
stand English, we were made to perceive
by their actions that We could help our
selves to anything we could find ior our
comfort"

WAITING FOR A CHEAP RIDE.

Nothing suggests this more plainly than
the sight presenting itself at all the sta
tions at about the time when the change
OF fare takes place. Just before half.past
eight in the morning the station Offices are
thronged with people eager to get their
ticket before the red side oil the board,
showing the fare TO be FIVE, is reversed and
the white side confronts the belated pas
senger, doubling his expenditure by the;
simplest process conceivable. In the
language of the immortal Eccles, "it is
ard" to convince the average man or
woman that n lapse OF second should
double the consideration ior which the
company contracts to carry the passenger.
The scene is reversed at half.past four,
when folks stand awaiting the tlrn OF the
card giving them the right to ride for half
the figure charged the instant before.
TIE ''Too LATE" EcoNoMIzER.
Amusing, indeed, is it to observe the
first too-latc man in the morning. He
puts down five cents. ~ gr
"Ten cents" says tho be-cappcd iunc-
tionary at the ticket window.
With affected establishment the conner
takes out his watch.
Taint half-past eight; your clocks
wrong," and he looks unlovinsly at the
remorseless time-piece provided for the
instruction Of the tickct-scller.
"Don't Stand in the way, please" for
others are pressing on behind.
But why quarrel with destiny? The
ten cents are paid without another word,
and the next moment the passenger has
thrown his ticket into the cancelling.box
on the platform, and is struggling towards
the train.

In the grim old garnet hanging
Mong the shadows dropping low,
Is the little ragged roundabout
wore long years age.
Back the years come sweeping DER me
As gentle dream like shock
While fond recall the memories
That cluster round the froek.
Well nigh harried by turmdillng
In tho busy world rest
Yet the frock so fond recalling,
Recrestes tho days OF blest,
eainted memory of childhood
when life's triumph was in store;
Censt thou opo to me the portals
OF a half forgotten iore2
In the jacket is a ashllne
And a bonded pin or two
Next handful OF split buckshot
And cork are brought to view;
Here's an old jack-knlfe that's bluntcd
And bit OF crayon white,
Then q tangled mass Of cat-gut
Greets my fondly searching sight
Melange Of boyhood's pleasure
Ere this life grew gray and scar,
Souvenirs of vanished sweetness
OF an unforgotten year,
Fare thee we'll thou banished treasure,
Now forever laid away,
