IN THE 6RQVE-
Ii was a olotuly nfleroooa in July.
The curly morning had been prophet-
of bleaunt day ; but. Iik a great
mnny propheoie of the p
present time.
had proved utterly fitle. Yet a Sun
day school it was a Presbyterian in
belief, and , so did not care lor a
sprinkling had determinedly shut its
eves to1 the 'threatening 'look of the
fik v, and tMne on a picuio thirty miles
from home. But, the heavy drops of
rain, which fell. about the middle of
tliH day, drove them from their origi.
nl nlaue ot destination., the. famous
Lion Creek Bridge gorce; and aoal
them on some five miles more to the
pleasant town of Horwich.
1 he excellent musio discoursed by
the band which accompanied the ex
cursionists, as well as the inherent cti
rioeity'of man to look upon strangers,
attracted many of' the residents ol
Horwich "down to the grove," where
the pick nickers were.- Jack llaviland
was one of the , many who could not
resist the temptation Jack and his
friend Clarion. Down they went to
the grove, with ouo umbrella between
them. : ; .., , . . ,
Can any one hope to describe the
feelings of a lonesome young man
who wanders through a, bevy ot
young girls, any one and every one oi
whom he desires to know, yet none
of whom he can know r Jack was
overflowing with that inexpressible
feeling. And who can blame him to
feel otherwise ? He had been shut up
for six long months, pouring over
"Parsons on Contracts" a book so
aoggeslive of loves dreams "Kent's
Commentaries," a "1at ulossary.
and Tomlin's Law Dictionary. Can
any one censure jack ior leenng a
longing desire lor a little human sym
pathy and human contact? llo list
lessly leaned against a pine tree and
looked around him.
Just then two young ladies came
into the field ot his vision. Une Jack
knew, the other was a stranger, and
the other was the one. Jack immedi
ately began to admire. Sne waa of
medium bight, dressed simply, yet
tastefully ; a white uanbaldi waist
I believe Jack found out afterwards
that was the name ot it belled in by
a broad ribbin, a dark skirt, over
which waa looped another striped
black and white, and out from under
which peeped two pretty icet, encased
in thick but neat boots : a classical
head, with a great mass of hair, real,
brown, living hair, twisted into a
grand coil behind, but not so firmly
but that stray little curls had managed
to creep out here and there to give
themselves an airing as the wind flut
tered around her lace ; and it was
such a sweet comely face withal, that
Jack most heartily envied the wind;
and, crowning all, waa a tasteful bit
of head-gear, such as ia worn now -a
days.'
Jack stood nnder the pine tree and
lost hi heart. But be might just as
well have lost it to the will o -Hie
wiep, a sprite, or some other fearful
deception, for what possibility was
there of his ever getting acquainted
with bis suddenly set up divinity,
much lesa of well, i Jack hadn't as
yet exactly defined it in his own
mind.
Just then it began to rain. Jack
had hi friend's umbrella. , It would
not do to let her get wet, so without
word Jack opened the umbrella,
stalked over to where she stood, and
held it over her. He did it in such
an honest, earnest way, she could not
take offense.- bhe looked up into bis
face and - smiled. She laughed a low,
rippling . laugh, Jack , a hysterically
short one -
"It's too bad it raina," said she, with
the accent on the "too bad, just as
girls al way a speak. '
L don t know, blundered Jack, in
reply, f . . , t
bhe looked at him curiously,-and
said, "Well," in a self -interrogatory
wav, as though she might have said.
"What sort of an oddity are yoa?"
and then laughed again.
With that Jack also laughed, and
caroo to himself.
The rain not ceasing, Jack walked
home with her. for lie found out that
she . lived in town. When they had
arrived at the door, and she bad
thanked him for the nse ot the am
brella, or rather the use of him and
the umbrella," Jack knew bo ought to
go: but every young man . knows
how it is he wasn't quite ready.
"My name," stammered be, "is Jack
Jack Uaviland." : :
"And mine is Clio Stanley."'
"And and I'm stud in g. law here
in town."- ;.'--'
MAnd I am stopping hero for the
summer with papa. I should be bap
py to receive a cajl frpm you." i f
J. hen Jack went home.
The i-next - day. Jack thought it: all
over. Xhe one moment ne caiiea
himself a fool, the next chuckled over
the action,' and decided, with all the
acumen of a country judge, toward
S 5 ir,

somewhat sharp. .Now be was in
clined to feel sorry and ashamed over
it; then, with an appeal to the principal
heathen, deity iu his vocabulary, Jack
expressed himself, as "deuced glad'r
it happened. So be went on in spirit al
alternatinir and ' down, and Jike a boy

but when evening came, he went and

In fact, he went -several consecutive

ed a settled ' business, he felt the time
to determine his fate bad come; yet
bow? could it La dontf The very
thought distressed him. Could he
dare he ask her? Could she know
how much her answer would mean to
him ? - If she said "Yes,'' what haiipi-
ness, success ; how . much to live for t
If she said ".No" he didn't dare to
think. ' ' " , .
The more he thought over It, the
more, he hesitated; 'and the more he
delayed, the harder-it became. At
last he determined it should be done.
Clio met him as usual with a pleas
ant smile. Jack tried to smile.' but it
ebbed off over bis countenance, and
waa lost in his "solemn expression,"
just aa a little wave ia lost in a larger.
Clio saw something was going to hap.
pen, and, woman-like, divined intui
tively what it was. But he : had kept
her wailing in suspense and uncertain
ty so long that now, when it waa
about to come, she determined she
would not help . him in the least. At
length Jack began t
Clio, I m having considerable bus
iness now." ;s
'Yes," said she, very , demurely,
with a quiet little nod : then relapsed
into sileuco without another word.
Jack fidgeted and thought, "Why
don't she say something, and keep a
follow on f
"I've got ao now I can support my
self and "
"I'm right clad to bear it," said
Clio. - '
Jack felt that . somehow she waa
sporting with him, and flashed up
"lott never heard that I didn t sup
port myself, did you?"
"I no I JJutthen "
But then? Yon know, Clio, that
ever siuce I waa fifteen"
"Never mind" said Clio," "for it
seems aa though I have beard a story
commencing like that before, Jack."
With that Clio smiled, and Jack a
momentary displeasure vanished ; yet
there was left on bU mind the unde
fined impression that, after all, he bad
been sold. But the ice of reserve
waa broken. ' -
To be plain, Clio, I came down to
tell you that I love yon." . .
Here came a long pauje. Jack
looked at everything in the room ex
cept Clio. It was getting exceeding
ly embarrassing to Jack, when there
came a quiet, - Well f frdm Clio.
-And to say, went on Jack, as
thongh no interpretation had occur
red, "that I am in a condition to get
married. - .
ibatsavery desiriable situation
for any young man, I am sure," aaid
Clio; and then she laughed that same
low, rippling -laugh he loved so.
Poor fellow I why couldn't he have
interpreted the . love for him which
rounded and mellowed that laugh ?
But no ; he grew desperate, and with
the thought that she was sporting
with him, just a little angry.
1 might have known how it would
end. Any fellow is a fool to dangle
round a girl for three years." And
he strode toward the door. His hand
was upon it. "I might have known
you wouldn't have married me."
liut Jack ' he turned "you
havwn't asked ma to.n -
"Haven't asked yon to?" Jack
caoght the look in ber eyes. ' The
next moment she was in bis arms,
and her arma were round bia neck,
and well, the Tact is, Jack never did
ask the question. .
After the . first happy momenta had
passed, and the ecstaciea ot the ac
knowledged mutual love had efferves
oed that word seems to express the
idea about aa well aa any Jack be
gan : . . .
'Darling, 1 bava loved yoa ever
since the first day in the grove. How
long have you cared lor mo r
binoe 1 saw, you atanding so lonely
and looking so down-hearted under
that pine ree."
I think alter that reply Jack kissed
nor. I know I should bad I been he,
The other , day I visited Jack and
his wife. In the yard in front of their
home I saw a small pine tree, which
they tend 'with the greatest care. I
asked where be found it. A amilo
and a look of peculiar significance
passed between him and his wife aa
be answered, "In the grove." ;

THB BEECH En SCANDAL.
The Terrible Story at Last Ott Beeeher
and Mrs. TUtoaj-TMtosi and JBovreav A
Dark Chapter All ArewaA.
The special correspondent of tbe
Chicago Times, May 4th, sends this:.
Nxw Yobe. May 4. While tbe
church bells were ringing this morn
ing in New York And Brooklyn, tbe
news-boys were yelling in the City of
Churches: ' Sunday lieviewtall ao-
count of the great Beocher Scandal!"
I bought A copy of tbe paper, and
found that some , light "at last 1 was
breaking in upon' this Plymouth
Church putridity. The Review 'con
tained the thunderbolt boiled - down
which Mr. E. H. O. Clark baa fired
at Brooklyn from tbo balls of Troy, j
This remarkable document has been
extensively canvassed and anxiously
looked for. ; . '
Then tbe true story is givea, wbicb
ia in effect this: Tilton asserts that
in tbe Fair of 1870. Mra. Tilton being
just back from a watering place, Mr.
Beecher visited ber, and in a mo
ment of fervid pastoral duty, he
sought ber to accord to him all those
peculiar favors wbicb ber sex admits
of. Mrs. Tilton declined tbe honor
with the mature sadness of common
sense. Then she told ber husband.
He asked ber to make a memoran
dum. This is it:
Yesterday afternoon, my friend
and pastor, Henry Ward Beecher,
solicited me to become bis wife in all
tbe relations which that term implies."
Tilton waa then editor of the iew
York Independent, and of the Brook
lyn Union, making all oi sio.uuu a
year. Six weeks after tbe occurrence
Tilton telle Bo wen of the honor Mr.
Beecher intended to confer upon bis
(Til ton's) wife. Theodore also says
that for a year previous liowen bad
lieen accusing Beecher of adulteries
and rapes. .
Bo wen urged Tilton to go for
Beecher, and finally Tilton wrote
this note, which Bowen delivered:
Uekbt W. Beecher bir: 1- or rea
sons which you will understand, and
bicb I need not therefore recite, 1
advise and demand that you quit
Plymouth pulpit forever and leave
Brooklyn as a residence.
. Theodore ailtos.
Then Air. Frank Aloulton cornea
on tbe scene. He u a prominent
member of tbe church. Tilton told
him about tbe note to Beecher. "Did
Bowen sign with you?" said Moulton.
"Jfo." r "Then you are a ruined
man " Moulton waa riirht. Wben
Bowen banded Beecher the letter be
said: "Mr. Beecher. a letter from
Tilton. Tilton ia your implacable
enemv. but I will be your friend.
Shortly after. Bowen . discharged
Tilton. Some eight months .after,
Beecher fearing the gathering storm,
callad on Mra. Tilton. She waa sick
in bed. but ber pastor sought ber
side and demanded retraction,
bich she wrote, saying that Mr.
Beecher. in bis intercourse wilh her
bad conducted himself as a gentle
man and a Christian. This is the
sweet concUiveneas of Mrs. Tilton,
hich Woodhull speaks of. Wben
Tilton beard of this, be besought
Moulton to visit Beecher, and de
mand the paper contaimog the re
traction. Tbe meeting waa a stormy
one. but aiooiion waa impiacaoie.
Beecher asked him what be would do
with it if be bad it? "I will keep
this memorandum and the first one
together," said Mr. Moulton, "and
thus prevent you and niton irom
barmincr each othr." "But. can I
confide in you?" , implored Beecher
Will you protect tbe paperr"
"1 will, qootu Aiouiton.
"How?" aoeried Beecher.
"With this. if. necessary," said
Moulton. and he brandished a revol
er. Then Mr. Beecher gave up tbe
document, and Moulton has kept it
since. All this dramatio scene is in
Til ton's true story. Now wo have
Woodhull on tbe scene, Tilton finally
making her acquaintance. One day
she showed him a copy of the World,
containing a letter of his, in which
she had written this passage: x
know a clergyman of eminence . in
Brooklyn who lives in concubinage
with the wife of another clergyman
of equal eminence. -
Doctor, jou know woom i mean,
said Vicky,.. :- . :;- : -c ;
"AO." v ,!-,,... : 7'-:,..
- "1
I mean you and Beecher." ;v ,
Then Tilton sought to get on the
right aide of Woodhull, and began

of himself.' ouch is the gist of
Til ton's true story aa it appears in
Clark's thunderbolt.' I interviewed
Tilton this afternoon and was dumb
founded as we walked on the
Leigh th, observed by all - we met.
He said he waa never mors in ' the
dark any time during tbe past year
than- now. - Letter after letter had
appeared in the papers, of which he
was given ' as the author, and of
which he said he knew nothing. - He
does not deny the contents of . his
letter to Bowen, dated, , January 1,
1871, but says it is not a correct
copy. "He denies any personal
knowledge of E. D. Q. Clark, of tbe
positive
nt the
Troy 'Whirl- and has no
knowledge of ever having met. the
gentleman; . believes that a man
named Clark did once bring -bim a
letter' of introduction from James
Redpath; but has entirely forgotten
the circumstance. r He critioised the
article in the Leviaw pointed out
feveral mJiios .inaecnracieSv .butr did
not deny the general truthfulness' of
the account. Several passages al
luding to Mr. Beecber's proposals to
his wife he did most emphatically
deny, and yet be read those self
same passages to me from bis own
manuscript last Thanksgiving day.
It was evident Mr. Tilton was on bis
guard and purposely evading and de
nying, thi, too, at an interview to
which I was invited by him. be well
knowing my character as a journalist,
and evidently expecting me to make
use of anything he might communi
cate. He played the role of bravado
to perfection, and said that be didn't
care a snap about what tbe paper
saidor what Mesdames Woobuil and
Claflin or Colonel Blood did. There
did not exist, he said, a single scrap
of paper emanating from his pen
which he was not willing to have
given to tbe world at any time,
whether addressed to a man or
or woman. Allusion being made by
me to tbe manuscript statement of
bis case wbicb be had read to me last
Winter, and which was intended at
tbe time for private circulation, and
poamble publication, he said that
there were at that time certain con
tingencies existing wbicb affected
not himself but others, but that now
happily these were all removed.
Notwithstanding this statement, my
recollection is perfect that what Til
ton read to me as bis story tallies
exactly with what tbe thunderbolt
says in reference to Mr. Beecber
soliciting Mrs.: Tilton to extend to
mm tbe favors of wife-hood, and
furthermore, that tbe lelter from
Tilton to Bowen, but recently - pub
lished, was there tn extento, tbe one
case being that in which the honor
of bis wife was attacked, tbe other
springing from a business and salary
relation witb a. C Uowen. Mr.
Tilton then alluded to tba fact, well
known to those who are au faid in
this matter, that Mr. Bowen's first
wife, now dead eleven years, waa al
so a victim to Air. lieecher s lust.
which very reasonably accounts for
tbe vindictive spirit shown by Mr.
Bowen when he urged Tilton to
write that demand for Beecher'a res
ignation which be so obligingly car
ried, and which be was smart enough
not to sign. In view of tbe fact in
thia connection that notwithstand
ing the hot abot the Eagle is pouring
into the Union, of which Bowen is
proprietor, calling him the slanderer
of bia pastor daily; and in view, fur
thermore, that last Wednesday Mr.
Beecher'a friends offered $125,000 for
tbe purchase of a controlling inter
est in -tbe t man, the situation is
certainly suggestive.
Not tbe least disgraceful feature,
therefore, of this thoroughly dis
graceful affair, is the bare-faced at
tempt of Ateepber a friends to bide
the shame of tbe dead wife witb the
glamour of gold. It may be well to
mention here a fact not generally
known. During tbe incarceration of
Woodbcll and Claflin in the Ludlow
Street Jail, where they were visited
daily by George Francis Train, a
gentleman named Westbrook, . from
Western Pennsylvania, ex-minister
and ex-lawyer, and now a successful
coal operator, also called upon them
and heard their story. , Thence he
went to Tilton and interviewed him.
Tilton read aim a statement now
published in tbe thunderbolt, pre
viously read to me, and supplement
ed that reading by tbe recital of
a gross rape by Mr. Beecher upon tbe
person of a celebrated literary lady
of this city byThe name of Proctor,
dressing tbe story up in glowing and
dramatic colors. Ibis is tbe case al
luded to in the letter from Tilton to
Bowen, lately published, in which
the grossoess of the rape was con
cealed by the characteristic stars.
Westbrook, himself, ia my authority
for this; and, further, that Tilton
told him that upon . learning of this
rape from Mr. Bowen, Tilton called
upon Miss Proctor and asked . her if
she bad told Bowen of the outrage.
and that she said she had, and lm
mediately swooned at his feet.' On
recovering her consciousness.' he
asked her whether she bad com
municated the intelligence to Mr,
Bowen verbally or in writing, and
she answered verbally.' Mr. Tilton
admitted to me to-day that he had
such an interview with Westbrook,
bad told Westbrook of his interview
with Miss Proctor, but evaded direct
questions about the lady, and main'
tained that tbe story was exaggerat
ed. ' All this time we were walking
along the street, Tilton carrying the
Review in his hand, title out. ' He
sought the most frequented thorough
fares, just as the churches were dis-
tmsfiin? their congregations, and
seemed in no way to be annoyed by
bis " consDicnousness. ' He chatted
pleasantly, and several times laughed
heartily at what the paper said
about him, intimating that the thun
derbolt's true story was put togetb
er by some clever band from tne
pilfering memories of those tb whom
he had read his statement. .', He . said
tbe original statement called his true
storr was in the custody of Mr.
Frank Moulton, which remark , wa8
confirmed by Mr. Moulton himself.
Mr. Moulton also says in his paper
that he, when called upon, will show
satisfactorily where he got the state
ment he published. When parting
from Mr. Tilton, he asked me in a
careless, off-hand manner, how, the
town talked about the scandal. I
told him thia: Every man I had
met that morning. , among them
several prominent members of Plym
outh Church, believed it now,- while
they never did before, and gave as
their opinion that Mr. Beecher must
come down from the pulpit. , " 1
It is difficult to get at the feeling
of the church, but I may remark in,
conclusion, that a nephew of Wi O.
Bowen. : a prominent member of
'Change, haa offered to wager $5,000
that m this social tilt his. uncle is
bound to win.' ' ' '.'

, mrs. BauiKERnorvs affinjtt, "
In another column is published the
latest escapade of ' an advocate of
female suffrage and woman's rights
Mrs. Brinkerboff of Michigan, , who
appears "to 'follow the practices of
tbe Woodhull, while with feminine
perversity she repudiates tbe doctrines
of the Woodhull In plain English,
Mrs. Brinkerhoff has left , bet hus
band and gone to live with a shoe
maker named Squiers. Per e the
item is not of immense importance,
but it presents some facta wbicb at
least are of interest. t ,;,. ,,,
The persons in the epic of Cattle
Creek are - three' in number the
Brinkerboff, the husband of Brinker
boff, and tbe affinity of Brinkerboff.
The second of these, Mr. ; Brinker
boff is of importance only as prov
ing that there is such a thing as the
husband of a strong-minded woman.
On this point, touching - the -primal
origin and ultimate fata of 'the
male of that species, the most pro-1
voking confusion and contradiction
bave obtained. With . perhaps the
exception of Mrs. Julia Ward Howe. I
of Massacbnsetts, the woman 'a rights I
advocates oi toe century nave been
unable to produce living autboritv or
apologies in breecbes for tbe title .of I
r m .--f
Mrs." which they - have " assumed. I
And Mr. Howe s existence only rests
on tbe , allegation of his wife an
interested witness that be proiected I
bis "fiery entrails" against a glacial I
age; an assertion which would seem J
to connect- Mrs. Howe's husband I
wich the crowning race - of steam
men who in the , future shall , bear
our burdens and fulfil all the baser
fonctions of life. ' The impreasioo
has prevailed that tbe weak-minded I
husband was to tbe strong-minded
wife what the drone is to the queen
bee an individual - of tbe male
species who was destroyed ruthlessly
as soon as he had conferred the
the honor of matronhood upon'' his
superior bride. This slander is now
refuted. He is spared for .future
usefulness. If a strong - minded
woman bad no husband how could
she desert ber husband ? Brinker
hoff, like the worm in Tennyson, has
not been "cloven in vain nor "shriv
elled in a fruitless fire" of jealousy.
Though the husband of Mrs.
Brinkerboff cannot be called jealous,
for we are expressly informed that be
justifies tbe action of his wife and is
willing, nay anxious, that sue anouid
marry ber ammty. In bis conduct
some may profess to see a lack of prop
er spirit or a disgraceful abdication
of the privileges and duties attaching
to bis pomtion as a man and a bus-
band. We are not of .these. Mr,
Bnnkerbofx is not tamely and ig-
nominioosly accepting thi situation

Mr. Squiers. lie might -Bboot Mr.
boaters with impunity, but be re
serves for bim a severer punishment,
Ho "lustines bis wife and is anxious
thst she should marry Squiers
Mr. Squiers also deserves mention.
though be, too, plays rather a pas
sive part in the drama. He ia a
shoemaker a suitor who. went ultra
crepidam. He called upon Mrs.
Brinkerboff (whether to take , ber
measare or dan her does not appear)
at a moment when in the phraseol
ogy of her scbool-!-"all the stars io
heaven bad gone out. ' she waa
"physically- unbalanced" whatever
that may be and unable to study
and lecture.; "How to live and. pay
ber debts" was a problem beyond her
power to solve. From bia more impar
tial standpoint the reader may with Dr.
Johnson denr the Premises and as-
sort that there waa little necessity for
Mrs. Brinkerhoff to pay her debts,
and still less to prolong ber exis
tence; but ' she - thought otherwise.
At this opportune moment Squiers,
a celestial cord wain er. entered,
Mrs. Brinkerhoff s wooing combin
ed the passion of the South and the
practicality of tbe xast. . She suc
cinctly stated the case as follows
I must love some one to save my
life. I do not ask any one to love
me." Then she pointedly put' the
question: "Can you accept - tbe
situation without neglecting : your
familv and duties?" . It is aafe to
infer that the shoemaker of . Battle
Creek,' Mich., who "lived among tbe
tbe stars enough, was by this time
so completely and confusedly, ex
alted that: again to quote Tennyson,
be walked "with Death and Morning
on the silver horns" shoe-horns, .of
course.- , Blushing as deep a hue , as
red morocco, he "accepted the situa
tion," and swore, in the language of
his craft and Mrs.- Unn ken liott s let
ter: that "his love should be 'lasting.
The rest is all but leather and
prunella, as may be-read ia our cor
respondent's letter. We would only
add a word of warning to the mem
bers of that sex which has furnished
the Brinkerhoff with a husband and
an affinity. There has been inaugu
rated at Battle Creek, Mich., a sys
tem of vast and dangerous possi
bilities. .There would appear to be
no more safety for the rural shoe
maker that calleth "when all - tbe
stars of heaven have gona out" than
for the urban gas collector who dun

A TOBT'OI TUB ZOST ATIAXTIC,
n James i Bateman, 5 a good-looking
yonng Englishman of 26, from Lon
don, was with tb emigrants, snd -desires
to make a statement concerning
the death of bis wife on the ship. , Ho
was the only passenger who was able
to bring his wife on deck, all of the,
others being drowned below stairs.
His statement is as follows: i i, ; .
tMOn tbe first of April, at 9 o'clock
kt it., I and my wife were awakened
by hearing tbe ship strike; I heard
them say it was .only the noise of s the
anchor, and that we.vere in port, in
Halifax. 1 and my wife ran op stairs
to the door, ' but the', sailors were
guarding it, and said they bad orders
to keep uU bekne. "l burst open the
door against the ;men,-. and my wife
and, I fell upon ; the deck. At . this
minute mey were nnng;tneir last

trying to launch a boat, 1 'got icfo
the boat with my wife, when the sail-
ors came and said they would, split
our beads open if we did not get out.
naturally prelerred to stand- my
chances on deck rather than be killed
n the boat, so we obeyed them and
I go out into ins rigging. , say r we
laud I hald on to the rigging, and just
o en
as we got noia the ship keeled over
and we were suspended in tbe air" by
oor bands. My wire, Tl years,of age,
a strong- woman, and I pushed her ia
to the rrggmg again. lhen tne sea
swept over us several times. I waa
dressed la nothing but ' a shirt and
coat, and my wife had only a chemise
and flannel petticoat, so : we suffered
grMy s fom cold. : My wife i jwaa
freezing nine hours in the rigging be-
I"re she died. The last man saved
'a the first mate, and I think they
could have saved ; my wife at that
time. -.Her last words vera to an of
ficer, "Please give me . something, )f
only a handkerchief, to save me from
freezing;" but' the officer, ' though
warmly clad himself, -refused to aid
her.- -. M .
"A Halifax oaoer cires the state
ment of First Officer Fntb, to the ef
fect that he stayed by my; wife until
she perished. 1 This is false. He did
nothing for ber. 1 think be is tbe
greatest coward God ever made. , A
number of other passengers corrobo
rated this.) Jl tried, aa a last effort to -save
my wife, to cross the deck from
the mizzen rigging to the fore part of -the
ship, and dozens who had made
the attempt were washed - overboard.
1 was successful. . 1 asked Captain
Williams, to try and save my wife.
He replied, ?Fetch your wife, if you
want her saved ; but that waa impos
sible, as I could not again cross the
deck. A lot of sailors cried 1 out,
Save the woman : but none . dared
try.. It wa too late.;.. .When. I . last
saw my wife she was frothing at the

The Weoxo Max. A little while
ago a well-knowD London poet, whose
name ia not given by our . authority,
was returning home late at night, car
rying under his arm bia dress boots -wrapped
in paper, when be was' sud
denly arrested by a policeman, who
collared him in a very vigorous man
ner. The poet: mildly remonstrated,
and asked the meaning of such very
pressing attentions. . lhe constable
made a sneering reply, hinting that
his captive knew very well why -he
was wanted, and another constable
appeared on the scene to assist in con
veying the luckless poet to durance
vile. After some-' expostulation he
succeeded in -mitigating the suspi
cions of his stern janitors bo far that
they agreed to unhand him on condi
tion that he -walked between them,
one in front and one behind, and made
no effort to escape.: Arrived at the
police station, the inspector at once,
exclaimed, Why, this ia not the gen
tleman ; you have made a. mistake,
and tendered an apology to the poet.
"That's all very well," rwas "the reply.
f but I should like to know something
more about this rather singular affair.
One does not get taken np every day
of one's life." It was then explained .
that a lunatio had got loose from an
asylum, and that his friends had told
tbe police to look after lum, and they
would know him by reason ot a pecul
iarity ot his. He had a cat-like aver
sion to wet feet, and always carried a
spare pair of boots under bis arm ia
order to put on directly when those
which be wore began to get damp. -
