Suddenly it darkened. Then l knew
what had happened. The rumbling
noise came from an avalanche. l was
buried alive. fastened to the front
only to find it completely piled full of
snow and rocks. ResOlutely l set to
work to dig out, but soon came to a
huge boulder that put an end to my
labors. crept back into the tunnel
and sank down in despair | did not

toll and agony afterwards figured out
to be seven days. during which l was
imprisoned in that sutfOcating hole
without food but snow. Awaking from
sleep found the mouth of the tun-
mel clear. Another avalanche must
have swept away the debris of the first

crash. | staggered out and made my
way down the mountain. After wan
dering about all day l fell in with a
party of Ute Indians. Having some
money with me, | bought pony and
some provisions from them and travelled

the Rockies could not hire me to go
back and work that mine, or spend an
other Thanksgiving in it. &C.

A-hOy.

LandSmen would naturally suppose
that sailors are fully prepared for every
accident; but they are mistaken. Laws
are made for the greater safety of those
who "gO down to the sea in Ships"
There are tricks in all trades: but there
are more tricks worked on travellers
than any but one long experienced on
the inside of travel can tell of. For
instance, great ocean steamers sailing
out of Liverpool are required by law
to show to the inspector, just before
sailing, enough Seamen to thoroughly
man the life-bOatS. The official comes
on board, the men stand in line for in
spectiOn, and the quota proves sufficient.
The official goes Off one side and the ex-
ira men, each with IS cents in hand,
slide over the other, well paid for stand
ing few moments in line. Some might
say they would be detected in case of
accident. But they trust to luck. If
an accident does happen, they fill up
the boats crews with stewards rOuSta-
bouts and tiremen to satisfy suspicious
passengers.
In all my fifteen years of sea going in
merchantmen | never saw but one pre-
pared for every accident, or that had a
cOntriyance for casting oil on troubled
waters in time of terrible storm or stress
of weather. This method of Sticking
the sea is SO simple that every ship should
have it. The experience of everyone
that has tried it. goes to prove that
simple sponge. saturated with oil and
hung out over the water in canvas bag,
to drip slowly, takes the crests off the
waves and slides huge combers under
the ship as innocent rollers. The thin
nest oil is as good as the heaviest. A
ship hOve-tO will range slowly ahead
and drift to leeward. leaving the slick
to windward and astern. One gallon
of oil lasts about four hours and holds
in check the heaviest seas that were
ever seen to run, and prevents them
from breaking on board the ship. There
are more men killed and swept over
board by heavy seas than ever fell from
alOft. Yet, very few vessels are pro-
vided with the means of instantly rig
ging out "slick.' SINBAD.

An Unpleasant THANKSGIVING.

Thanksgiving! What recollections the
day awakens? Memory brings back the
past, golden with visions of home and
happiness. l can see the family gather
around the fireside, and wonder of the
missing one. | can see them looking
askance, as they sit before the feast at
the vacant place. Next Thanksgiving
perhaps they will not look in vain
IIallOwed as these recOllectiOns are. the
memory of one Thanksgiving spent far
from home, will forever haunt me. No
table was spread for me that day. No
loved ones graced its long hours with
happiness. In November 18S- | was

A Dream,

In my dream, | wandered by the
banks of river, no voice but the voice
of nature was near. The earth was
clothed in her garments of yellow for
the summer had flown and the mild
days of autumn were closing the year
The soft winds were signing over the
fields and the trees. The sweet muir
murings of the gentle river awoke i'm.
my soul happy feeling of praise and
waited me above all life's cares and woes.
AS the music of nature came softly
stealing over me, in my bosom tumuit
of praises arose; exulting rapture now
swells the pure feeling and leaving the
earthly ascends to the skies. The
Loud ringing of the morning bell
aroused me from my sweet, yet life-like,
dream; and as | was working in the
shop, that dream somehow prompted
me to wonder whether or not sweet
music will steal over me from the fields
of Elysium, and watt me through
deaths portals of gloom when the au
tumn of life brings me near to the
tomb. CHOCTAw HARRY.
