TO JOB PMNTEB8 PRETTY TOUGH YARN. SALT-WATER DAY. How a Drowning Mariner Wa.

We were about sixty miles out from Chicago when Mike Lanagan, who was doing something up on the mast, fell, struck on his bea«l on the roof of the cabin and bounced clear out into tho lake. Well, tho captain he see him fall and he stopped and backed that old Roustabout quicker’n you could say ‘scat’ Mike went down like a plummet for he was knocked Insensible, and I k no wed that there was no use to heave a life-preserver for him, so I jest hurried up the boys in gotting the boat down, although I didn’t expect it ’ud do much good. We had Jim King on board, passenger from Chicago. You remember Jim King, don’t you?” “Can’t any that I do," remarked a bystander. “Well, Jim was champion quoit thrower in them days, lie’s dead now, poor fellow but Jim was a boss on throwing quoits. I tell you quoits wore n groat game thorn days. Every village had a quoit club, and the boys on tho farms used to throw boss-shoes. It was somethin’ like base-batt is these times, although I nover could see as much fun in base-ball as I could seo in a good game o’ quoits.” “Oh, come olf.” cried tho impationt listener. “What did Jim do, or did he do any thing? Did tho man drown?” “Now, don’t be too fly. Wiiose toll in’ this yarn?” “Well, you don’t seem to be.” “Go oil! Go on!” said the crowd. “Well, you know, in quoits a ‘ring er’ was when you put the quoit round the stake. It counted double. Well, Jim, ho picks' up the round life-pr«j- server, it’s like a great big quoit, you know, and as tho capp’n camo running aft. J ini ho sings out: ‘Capp'n, I'll bet you live dollars that 1'11 make a ringer on that man, if ho comes up within the length of this line.’ ” “Bet you twenty dollars you can’t,” ■aid thecapp’n. •• *Tako you,’ said Jin), and just at thet miuit up bobs Mike's head about sixty feet astorn.

Wo got down tho boat, nnd when wo got to Mike he hadn’t come to yet ami didn't for some time after. He’d been a goner if it hadn’t been for that ringer, although it took tho skin, otfon his nose." “Did the captain pay tho twenty dollars?" “Pay it? You jist bet lie did.

GENUINE CONTENT. Oood Men anti Women Who, •’ Having Nothing. Vet Have All.“ In one of tho great cities of tho West which have sprung up into full lifo in as many yours ns men take to totter through babyhood, an old gray house preaches tho unusual lesson of content to all passors-by. Tho street on which it stands is filled with solid rows of massivo hanks ami importing houses, tlio most valuable property in the city. Nichol in between two toworing, splendid buildings are two ■ores of ground, planted in grass, and nn old-fashiono<l gnrdon, with a cow house and a plain little dwelling, such as might bo built for a few hundrod dollars. It is the property of a poor man, who lives on a modéralo salary ear noil by his daily labor. A few years ■go ho bought tliroo acres of this ground for six dollars, and afterwards ■old enough to build a homo for himself nnd his wife upon tho rest of tho lot. Ho has been offered half n million for It and refused. “I have uo children," was his an swer. “I have nil 1 wan!—a comfort able home, easy work, enough for our dnily need. 1 do not wish to bo rich." Whatever wo may think of his rea- ■ofis, or the wisdom or folly of his oourso, there o:iu bo no doubt, that ho has acquired something beyond ill jew els in vnluo—content If an honest mnn be tho noblest work God, a con tented man is assuredly the rarest.

It is a fact established in history that the New Jersey Indians were in the periodical habit of assembling in the neighbor hood of the salt water for tho purpose of feasting ujion oysters, and the gath ering and eating of oysters was one of tho chief features of Salt-water Day ob served among the Monmouth County farmers in later years. Before oysters became private property, and when there wero natural boils of thorn along the Jersey shore, farmers living within twenty or thirty miles felt a keen oys ter hunger about the first of every Au gust, and on Salt-water Day, which oc curs at this season, the beds wore made to suffer. They suffered so much that the New Jorsey Legislature finally passed a law refraining people from taking oysters by any means except the un- mpploniented feet and hands, so that for several years previous to the time when oysters cease«l to lie public pro|>- •rty the farmers on Salt-water Day could obtain this delicate food only by “treading" it; that is, by working the oysters from tlie bottom, and skillfully bringing them to the surface with their toes. South Amboy used to be a favorite place of gathering on Salt-water Day, and so lately as five years ago ns many asone hundred tent-top wagons brought in their loads of people from the back- lying farms to assist in this celebration. At South Amboy the festivities are concluded in a single day, but at other places—and notably at Point Pleasant, or Sea Girt, as it is now called, a part of the village of Squan—three days are devoted to them. Of course at these festivals at the odge of the sea there have come to be other joys than the joy of eating oysters. Bathing, dancing and miscel laneous feasting are to bo reckoned among the delights of Salt-water Day. I'lioro are stores of cold fowl, sand wiches, honio-inado pies, cider and pink lemonade, and some of tho wagon-tops keep tho sun off from a keg or a demi john of apple-jack. Tlie bathing suits worn by tlie farmers anil their wives and daughters are home-made, the «ante as tlie pies, and are oommondable for their comfort and serviceability rather than their fit. But the observance of Salt-water Day is not what it used to be. Rail roads have brought tho sea and tho oysters nearer to the farmers, and the season for the celobi alien is largely gone. Tho colored people still observe tho day with considerable fervor at Long Branch, but the festival, speaking generally, is one which is rapidly going outw-ZTar/ier’s tfeehiy.
