It v;is n clear, balmy day in .ftme.
when I. liicli.-iril llawsoii. mtdslltpmll.
nt home in ( 'ormvall titter a two years
criiise. looked up three of my old
schoolmates lor a row along the coast
in a yawl hired of a waterman, and
well freighted w ith all that was needed
to make the day a merry one.
Away we went, tour of the most
light-In' n rled lads living. liobTrelawny
stroke, myself with a pair of sculls,
Tom Davie 111 the bow rowing ran
dam ; and Hilly Finch, our little cock
swain, saucily hugging himself on the
dwarfish stature w hich exempted him
from any greater share in our labors.
With many a quip at each other's
expense, our laughter waking up the
echoes ot the curiously veined cliff
that towns above us we glided along
the picturesque coast ; sometimes pass
ing beneath huge blocks of granite,
which seemed to need but a touch to
lopple thein down upon our trail craft:
sometimes catching glimpses of tiny
coves, whose beauty no foreign scen
ery I have ever visited exwded. Into
one of these our cockswain steered us
when we began to show symptoms of
fatigue, skillfully taking' us through
the narrow Inlet between the rocks
that concealed it troln casual observers.
iVrliaps the dark hours that followed,
helped to imprint on my memory the
peaceful beauty of that spot, for I can
conjure up even now that years have
pa -sed over my head every detail ot
the fair picture; the high banks hem
ming in the mimic bay, covered to
their summits with heather and the
endless variety of ferns that flourish
iu the rich alluvial soil : the trees
crowning the heights, the sighing of
the soft hreez" that stirred their
bm nches, and the musical cadence of
tailing waters, as innumerable little
rivulets bounded from rock to rock in
glistening cascades, or like silver ser
pents threaded their Way towards the
murmuring sea. The scene was so
lovely that even the mercurial spirit
of out cockswain was impressed by it.
and he stopped in the midst of one of
his favorite ditties to exclaim, "By
Jove ! it's sublime !
in reminiscences of our happy school
days, and song after song from the
Mario of our coniiiany, the time quick
ly passed away, tiil the deepening
shadows warned us that we must de
part. Our diminished stores were
placed iu the yawl, and. bending to
our work, we soon emerged from the
peaceful cove into the broader exjitinse
of St, Michael's Bay,
While we were lingering in the
cove tlie breeze had freshened, so that
our little boat danced merrily over the
swelling waves, the hounding motion j
milling a fresh impetus to the mirth
which was exuberant enough at start
ing. We had traversed about half our
homewa.d way, when Torn Davits
proposed a row into one of the gloomy
looking caverns frequently to be seen
on the Cornish coast. Every one j
agreeing to the proposal, the boat was i
backed for a few yards, the head point
ed cowards roe nearest oienuig. ami
half-a-dozen vigorous stokes sent its
into the yaw ning cavity.
As we darted tinder the narrow arch,
we perceived that at its highest the
cavern rose but a few feet above our
heads while to our great consterna
tion, we found oui-selves irresistibly
carried much farther than we had in
tended penetrating into this abode of
strange echoes.
As another wave came up. impelling
us still onward in spite of our most
vigorous efforts to prevent it. w e look
ed toward each other anxiously, and
our cockswain's voice sounded hollow
and unusually srlxlued as lie exclaim-
I ed-
I say, you fellows, this wont do at
any price. Stern all ! "
This, to our increasing uneasiness,
I we found it impossible to accomplish.
We had but backed a few yards when,
I with a whirl and a ru-h against which
j we could make no head, another wave
I rolled in, and we clung desperately to
I the side of the cavern to prevent our
j boat being dashed to pieces on some
. hidden boulder.
Though alive to the danger of the
position, and bitterly regretting our
foolishness in making the venture witli
1 so rough a sea running, we did not
fully comprehend our uifllculties until
1 we looked toward the mouth of the
' cavern. To our horror, we perceived
tliflt it was growing less and less. As
, the next wave came dashing iu, its
I crest reached to within a couple of feet
I of the crown of the rugged arch above
; us. The tide was still rising, and the
dreadful reality forced Itself upon us,
that iu a short time we should be closed
in from light and hope ; in a word,
: that we should be buried alive in the
cavern
With Indescribable sensation we
watched each wave rise higlier and i
higher, and the faint light grew dim-1
mer ; wiuie, to increase tne norror oi
our situation, our boat was dashed to
, and fro with such fearful violence that
' we knew not how long we might hope
; to prevent its being broken up.
Ulnging with our bleedtng lingers
m me projecting tocks, we sat nun
our fares turned in mule despair to
wards the opening; and the "God
help ns! that burst from Trelawyn's
lips sounded like the words of doom
to all.
II igher a nd higher orc it 1 1 ie i iki tin te
waters, now reaching the very summit
of the arch, and obliterating the glim
mer of light that yet stole iu ; then,
as if to mock us. receding till the faint
ray was once more visible. Again and
again this happened : but at last we
were enveloped in pitchy darkness.
The wall ot water had barred us In,
and unless God helped ns, we had
taken our last look at the bright world
without.
It was hard to die so young; and
even now 1 think it no shame to our
manhood, that choking sobs and earn
est cries for mercy thronged to our
lips, as we struggled to hold on against
the volume of water striving ilwav to
dash us onward into the deeper reces
ses Of the chasm.
In our haste ami alarm we had for
gotten that a small anchor was lying
at the bottom of the boat; but now.
as a larger wave than we had hitherto
contended with came rushing on us.
Trelawny gasped out
The anchor 1 over with it, or we
are lost! I can hold on no longer."
In an instant. I had it over the side.
On came the bellowing wave, the boat
was lifted upon it. our hadds forced to
relinquish their grasp of the jagged
stones to which we had been Clinging,
and like an arrow we were driven for
ward : but the anchor held, and, for a
time, we felt that we were saved.
Up to this moment very few words
had been uttered for the transition had
been too great from the mirth and
sunshine without, to the darkness and
terror within, to permit ot speech,
We all knew by what a frail tenure we
held our lives, and silently huddled
together, listening to the wash of the
billows as they came whirling and
rumbling past our boat, to dash with
a concussion like thunder against some
recess of the cavern which seemed to
be far. far away.
Strange fears stole over us as we
prayed incoherently that the anchor
might hold, and the wind drop, or
clung instinctively to the sides of our
vessel, when the eqdving waters hur
ried by, leaving behind them a tran
sient calm, so profound that we could
hear our own deep breathing, and the
bitter grief of our erstwhile happy
I itt le cockswain . V ere not Ins t noughts
with the widowed mother who. it she
last, him, lost her all?
Presently the awful stillness was
broken by a rock crumbling from the
roof, and falling witli a deafening
crash not many feet from where we
lay, the sound reverberating along the
cavernous rail its until it died away in
the distance.
Alter a while we fancied we heard
the moaning of the wind outside our
prison. Had it increased? And if the
result should he as terrible as we fore
boded, would our fate ever he known
to those who would mourn for us y
Would any vestige of the yawl, or her
unfortunate crew, be washed out to
sea to tell the sad tale f
At last and what an eternity it
seemed we could discern a faint glim
mer ot light. A few seconds, and it
had vanished. Then, like a bright
star 'dawning upon us, it steadily in-cn-ased,
and we knew that the tide
was falling. Breathlessly we watched
the bright harbinger of hope, till with
eyes that brimmed over, and voices
tremulous with thankful joy, we told
each other that we might make an at
tempt to depart.
It was not until many narrow es
capes of being dashed on the partly
sunken rocks, that we succeeded in
reaching the outer world. What we
then thought, or how we acted, my be
better imagined than described : and
1 suppose I need scarcely say that we
have never since then explored a Corn
ish cavern when the tide was rising.
GitATKFtM, COCKllOM'li. A corres
pondent of a New York paper relates
a touching Instance of insect instinct
as follows: "I found a cockroach
struggling in a bowl ot water. I took
half ii peanut shell for a boat. I put
him into it and gave him two wooden
toothpicks for oars, and left him. The
next morning I visited him. and he
had nit a piece of w hite cotton thread
on one of the toothpicks, and set the
toothpick up on end as a signal of dis
tress. He had a hair on the other
toothpick, and there that cockroach sat
a fishing. The cockroach, exaustcd.
had fallen asleep. The sight melted
me to tears. I never had to chew
leather to get a soul. I was horn witli
one. 1 took that cockroach out, gave
him a spoonful of gruel and left, i'luit
animal never forgot that act of kind
ness, and now my house is chuck full
of cockroaches.

The RlvbU of Women.
The House, on Friday, disposed of
a couple of bills looking to female en
franchisement, in very cavalier sort of
style. One of them had received the
recommendation of a committee ; and
a minority of the same committee had
recommended the Dassage of the bill.
with an amendment striking out the
material portion of it, but allowing
women to vote in all matters relating
to the liquor traffic. Tlie bill was.
however, after sometrifiiugdlscussion.
indefinitely postponed. We should
have been better pleased. If the Hou-e
bad allowed the bill to go through Its
regular course, and take its chance on
a square vote, yea or nay.
The people of Oregon may not be
yet prepared for the adoption of Wo
men Suffrage, though we think the
Legislature 'may possibly do many
tilings worse than to give women the
ballot. The. time will soon arrive, it
ought to hare arrived already) when
the laws of our State will recognize
women as something more than noug.
entities; when it will be acknowledged
that they have some rights which men
will be bound to respect. There arc
many rights connected with property
which iu justice they should have, and
exercise as freely and fully as men. It
is not our purpose, however, to enu
merate them here. In our opinion the
members of the House have commit
ted a grave error not only in point of
justice but of policy, iu refusing to ac
cept at least Mr. Pat ton's proposition
to give women the right to vote on all
matters connected with the legalizing
of the liquor traffic. That is a matter
iu which they are directly and material
ly interested". It is a question far less
abstract than the general question of
female suffrage. The liquor traffic
affects society, tlie greater share of its
evils falling upon won en and children.
The right to vote on it should be wo
man's weapon of defence, inasmuch
as society gives her none. We are not
at all a sentimentalist on tills or any
other question ; we simply ask for jus
tice for women. Statmuimi.

A Rivkii 8TORY. A couple of flat
boat men on the Mississippi river,
having made an extraordinary good
speculation, concluded that while they
were iu New Orleans they would go
for a real first class dinner at the St.
Charles Hotel. Having eaten the men 1
they called for the bill. The waiter
iu attendance misunderstood them,
and supposing tlia' they wanted the
hill of fare, laid it before them with
the wine list uppermost.
Whew. Bill!" said Jerry, "here's
a bill ! Just look at it. Here, you add
up one side and I'll add up the other,
and we'll see what the whole thing
conies to."
So Bill added up the prices of wine
on one side of the list and Jerry added
them up on the other, and tbev made
the sum total 584.
Whew, Bill!" said Jerry, "that's
pretty nigh all we've got ! What are
we going to do about it ?"
"We can't pay that,"suitl Bill ; "It
'ud clean us right out. The waiter
: ain't here now. let's jumpout o' the
! window and put !"
"No, sir-ee." said Jerry, "I'd never
I do sicli a mean thing as that. Let's
i pay the bill and then go down stairs
i and shoot the landlord. '
