Iua state of exhaustion, I remained here for some time, almost as helpless as an infant, before could get a clear perception of what had taken place. Then, one by one, the incidents, slowly returned in regular order, till I remembered- the ship, the attempt to go ashore in a boat, and the accident that had left me to tho providence of God.

What of the others who had been plunged into the sea with me? Were they all, or any of them, living? What chauce had I of getting back to the vessel Doubtless my companions thought me drowned, and might never search for me again. But then daylight would show-me the ship, and signal would attrack their attention. I had nothing to do but to pass the night as best I could. Fortunately no bones were broken, aud, though considerably bruised, I could use my limb?, and did not suffer a great deal of pain,

The night, however, proved long and tedious. With not a dry thread upon me, the air was very chilly, and though I felt the need of a comfortable sleep, I did not get any.

With the first streak of dawn, I strained my gaze over the sea and when I beheld a broad Wdstc of waters, and no vessel in sight, my heart sunk, and a trembling fear came upon tnc.

Perhaps I had been carried around some near point of the shore, and was not at a hopeless distance! There was steep, rocky hill behind me, and by ascending that, I should know. I toiled up it with quickened pulse, not daring to look behind me till I had

AN ADVENTURE IN SIBERIA.

It was about dusk, on the seventeenth of August, 1854, that the American whale-ship Anlartic, let go PC her anchor off the mouth of the river, on which is situated the little settlement of Lachryvol, on the eastern coast of Siberia. Night soon shut in the already dim scene of the shore but there was a venturous crew of us on board, eager to visit the place before daylight and as the sea around was v? nearly calm at the time, we readily obtained the desired permission.

Two boats put off from the ship at the same time, in one of which I found myself confortably seated.

The night proved very dark—so dark indeed, that we lost sight of the ship before we saw the shore but, as .» each boat was provided with a coinpasH, we had taken the precaution to obtain our course befere starting, this gave us no uneasiness, and we pulled steadily on till we reach a dark spot, amid a white line of breakers, and .. knew we had gained the mouth of' the river we sought.

We had anticipated an easy time in as ascending the stream but we soon found to our chagrin, that the current was so rapid, that, with the utmost cxei tion of the men at the oars, we could 4 only make very slight headway againt it.

Suddenly tho bow of our boat collided with something like a dcsccndin log, was turned partly round, and was swept, downward like a feather. In less than a minute it struck upon sand-bar, rolled over, and every living soul was thrown into the boiling surf

Cries of distress arose upon the still night air, and thrilled the hearts of those who were not themselves struggling for life. Tlioy heard us y, aboard the ship, and as soon as possible another boat put off to our assistance.

My compauions were more fortunate than myself. In less than five minutes from tho time of the accident, all, save myself, had been picked up. Tnluckily I had been caught by breakers aud hurled against a rock, so bruised and confused, that the only wonder is I am alive to tell the talc.

I have only a dim, dream-like recollection of being whirled around in the seething waters, of my cars being filled with a hollow roaring sound, and of having a sensation and conviction of drowuiug.

How long I remained in the water, and what dangers I went through, can never bo known to mortal man. I returned from my lost consciousncss, in the dark hours of uight, to fiud mygulf clinging to a log—perhaps tho very one that had caused the disaster—with my head on shore abovo the roaring waves, and body half submerged in the lashing surf. With strange coufusion and bewilderment of mind, instinct, more than reason, caused me to crawl upward till I rosted on dry laud and heard the roaring breakers beneath me, no louger within reach.

gained a goodly height, lest I should meet with a fearful disappointment. When I did look again, cried aloud and shed tear.t of joy. Yes, there was the gdod fillip, quietly riding at anchor in the offing, noL more than a mile distant. I could see men about on deck, ami I alriiost fancied I could tell who some of them were,

Above me, some hundred yards or round behind him—first one side and so--highcr up, on tnc very .summit of thcu the other, holding up his nose the hill, was a large precipitous rock, and as the apex of this would throw

iny figure clear against the back ground of the sky, who re I should alm&3t certainly be seen by the lookouts on the vessel. I made my way thither with what haste I could.

The rock was about twenty feet high, and I had considerable difficulty in climbing it. On either side it was perpendicular or overhanging but on one there was some small crevices, where a few running vinos and creepers hail found lodgment. By taking hold of these, I managed to clamber to the top in safety.

Now. fairly upon the rock, I felt a wonderful relief of mind and taking ^handkerchief from my pocket, I waved it above my head, and shouted with all in)' might. I could soon sec, by certain movements on board of the ship, that I was perceived. Presently I saw some half-a-dozen figures descend into a boat, which immediately put off toward shore, aud then felt that delivcrancc was ccrtainly at hand.

I was now about to descend from the height, and liastcu down to the beach, to meet my friends, when I was suddenly startled by a heavy growl. On looking down the side at my left, my blood rau cold with hor ror at perceiving a bear of the largest species. Ho was a most tremendous and ferocious looking beast, as big as an ox, of a brownish color not unlike the Itocky Mountain Grizzly. I had heard of these monsters before—of their great strength, courage, and daring and of their wonderful vitality— a ball directly through the heart, not always being sufficient to make them succumb.

And here was I upon the rock, without weapons of any kind, and the horrid monster looking up at me, and growling his displeasure. I had no immediate fear for myself—for believed the animal could not climb to me but shuddered at the thor^ht of what would have beon my fate had I encountered him a few moments sooner, while ascending the mountain, and I trembled with apprehension for my comrades, should they come to my rescue.

Tt was necessary for me to give them warning but I knew I could not make them understand previous to their getting some half way between the roaring surf and myself, and then it might be too late.

I had little hope of their seeing tho bear themselves, because of a dense growth of shrubs around the rock, and as a consequence 1 was filled with tremulous anxiety.

The next quarter of an hour was one of the most painful of my life. My frieuds were steadily drawing nearer and nearer the shore and the sccne of danger, aud were doubtless wondering why I did not come down to meet them and the monstrous creature so far from showing a disposi-

At length he stopped at the very place where I had climbed up, strctched his huge form agaiust the rock, aud tried the bushes aud crevices with his terrible claws.

But no shouts of triumph followed. With him had perished a comrade bclu.cd by all aud as they gathered up the mangled remains of the latter, and 'jore tlmm dowu the mountain, every eye shed tears of sorrow.

THE MAN IN THE RELL

In my younger days, bell-ringing was much more in fashion among the young men of than it is now. Nobody, I believe, practices it there at present except the servants of the church, aud the melody has been much injured in consequence.

80111c

fifty years ago,

about twenty of us who dwelt in the vicinity of the cathedral, formed a club, which used to ring every peal that was called for and, from continual practice and a rivalry which arose between us aud a club attached to another steeple, aud which tended considerably to sharpen our zeal, we became very Mozarts on our favorite instruments. But my bell-ringing practice was shortened by a singular acc-i-

tion. Over me swung an immense mass of metal, one touch of which would have crushed me to pieces the floor under me was principally composed of crazy laths, and if they gave way, Twas precipitated to the distance

to get a glimpse of the bear, and he slept beneath. This was my first ter-

about to make a spring among them. I smote into by ears with a thunder At least six pieces were levelled at him, and, as if acuated by one thought and one fear, every man pulled his trigger at the same moment, and five of them sent their leaden balls into his head and breast.

which made me fear their drums would crack there was not a fibre of my body it did not thrill through. Tt entered my very soul thought aud reflection were almost utterly banished I only retained the sensation of agonizing terror. Every moment I saw the bell sweep within an inch of-my facc, and my eyes—I could not close them, though to look at the object was bitter as death—followed it instinctively in its oscillating progress until it came back again. It was in vain I said to myself that it could come no nearer at any future swing than it did at first every time it descended, endeavored to shrink into the very floor to avoid being buried under the downsweeping mass, aud then, reflecting on the danger of pressing too weightily on my frail support, would cower up again as far as I dared.

At first my fears were a matter of fact. I was afraid the pulleys above would give way, and let the bell plunge on IUC. At another time, the possibility of the clapper being shot out in some sweep, and dashing through my body, ss I had seen a ramrod glide through a door, flitted across my mind. The dread also, as I have already mentioned, of the crazy floor, tormented me but these soon gave way to fears not more unfounded, but more visionary, and of course more tremendous. Tho roaring of the bell confused my intellect, and my fancy soon began to teem with all sorts of strange and terrifying ideas. The bell pealing above, and opening its jaws with a hideous clamor, seemed to me at one time a ravening monster, raging to devour me at another, a whirlpool ready to suck me into its bellowing abysS? As I gazed on it, it assumed all shapes it was a flying eagle, or rather a roc of the Arabian storytellers, clapping its wings and screamover me. As I looked upwards into it, it, would appear sometimes to lengthen into indefinite extent, or to be twisted at the end into tho spiral folds of the tail of a flying-dragon. Nor was the flaming breath or fiery glance of that fabled animal wanting to complete the picture. My eyes, inflamed, bloodshot and glaring, invested the supposed monster with a full proportion of unholy light.

The air, set in motion by the swiugiug of the bell, blew over me, nearly with the violence, and more thau the thunder, of a tempest aud the floor seemed to reel uuder me, as uuder a drunken man. But the most awful of all the ideas that seized ou me were drawn from the supernatural. Iu the vast cavern of the bell hideous faces appeared, and glared dowu ou me with terrifyiug frowns, or with grinning mockery still more appalling.

At last, the devil himself, accoutred as in the common description of the evil spirits, with hoofs, horn, and tail, and eyes of infernal lustre, made hiappearance, and called on me to curse God aud worship him, who was powerful to save me. This dread suggestion he uttered with the full-toned clangor of the bell. I had him within an inch of mc, and I thought on the fate of the San tan Uarsisa. Strenuously and

his courage in this situation. In twenty minutes the ringing was done. Il.ilf of that time passed over me without power of computation—the other half appeared an age. When it ceased, I became gradually more quiet, but a new fear retained me. I knew that five minutes would elapse without ringing, but, at the end of that short time, the pell would be rung a second time, for five minutes more. I could not calculate time. A minute aud an hour were of equal duration. I feared to rise, lest the five minutes should have elapsed, and the ringing be again commenced, in which case I should be crushed, before I could escape, against the wall or frame-work of the bell. I therefore still continued to lie down, cautiously shifting myself, however, with a careful gliding, so that my eye no longer looked into the hollow. This was of itself a considerable relief. The cessation of the noise had, iu a great measure, the effect of stupefyiug ma, for my attention, being no longer occupied by the chimeras I had conjured up, began to flag. All that now distressed me was the constant expectation of the second ringing, for which, however, I settled myself with a kind of stupid resolution. I closed my eyes, and clenched my teeth as firmly as if they had been screwed in a vice.

At last, the dreaded moment came, aud the first swing of the bell exorted a groan from me, as they say the most resolute victim screams at the sight of the rack, to which he id for a second time destined. After this, however, lay silent and lethargic, without a thought. Wrapt in the defensive armor of stupidity, defied the bell and its intonations. When it ceased, I was roused a little by tiie hope of escape. I did not, however, decide oil this hastily, but, putting up my hand with utmost caution. touched the rim. Though the ringing had ceased, it still was tremulous from the sound, and shook under my bund, which instantly recoiled as from an electric jar. A quarter of an hour probably elapsed before I again dared to make the experiment, and then I found it at rest. I determined to lose no time, fearing that, might have lain then already too long, and that the bell for evening service would catch me. This dread stimulated me. aud I slipped out with the utmost rapidity, and arose.

I leaned against the wall, motionless and deprived of thought, iu which posture my companions found me, when, in the course of a couple of hours, they returned to their occupation.

They were shocked, as well they might, at the figure before them. The wind of the bell had excoriated my facc, and my dim and stupefied eyes were fixed with a lack-lustre gaze iu my raw eyelids. My hands were torn aud bleeding, my hair dishevelled, aud my clothes tattered. They spoke to me. but I gave no answer. They shook me, but remained insensible. They then became alarmed, and hastened to remove me. He who had first gone up with me in the forenoon, met them as they carried me through the churchyard, and through him, who

Massachusetts. The so-called civil rights bill and the frecdmen's bureau bill commanded an iniiicrlir.ont inler-

matters with which they should had nothing more to do than with the question whether a negro should have sweet or Irish potatoes for breakfast, up to the time of the passage of those bills, it was supposed in this country that one of the duties of the government was to enforce, when properly called upon to do so, the performance of contracts between individuals. The frecdmen's bureau not only undertook to, but did, make contracts between individuals. It was clothed with the same authority of guardianship over negroes that a father has over minor children. It told the blacks with what planters to engage, and for what wages, and, in many instances,—so many as to prove the whole institution a swindling concern,—collected the wages, and cheated the negroes out of the fruits of their labor. 3

The pretence for the establishment of the bureau was that the negroes were not capable of taking care of themselves. Tho pretence" for the passage of a prohibitory liquor law in Massachusetts is that men who drinkalcoholic or fermented liquors are not capable of taking care of themselves.

While we were told that the blacks needed such protection as the bureau affords, because they were in the minority, ignorant and helpless, the same congress which created the bureau passed the laws, the sole purpose of which was to placc those ignorant and helpless blacks iu tho control of the southern state governments, in the hope that thereby vcngancc would be inflicted on the white men of the south, and the rule of the republican party be prolonged. It is absurd in any man who sustained the frcedmen's bureau to denounce the meddling and prescriptive spirit of prohibitory liquor laws.

Another absurdity of which republicans are guilty, while protesting against the temperance movement, is in boasting of what their party has done for the cause of temperance. It has passed every prohibitory liquor law that has appeared on thestatjite of any state.

Wishing to keep liquor prohihitionists, and also to conciliate the "loyal'' proprietors of dram shop, and the '-loyal'' men who abound in dramshops, republicans assail the anti-dram I shop party, and at the same time point to the fact thai republican legislatures have been foremost to make war on the liquor traffic.

These tactics cannot long be continued. They make too great a draft on the ingenuity of their authors. To preach temperance, and enact temperance, and assail temperance, and clcct drunkards to oflice, are combinations of''moral ideas" and political thimblerig which can only be maintained for a short time. The best policy for the republican party is to discard the tem-
