'Tain't no kind of weather foi tKt slip of a lad to go foolin' with them big b.llows as goes sweeping around old Duil Head. Why, took yuuricif, woman. Ycu can sea them more'n four miles away daihir;' and lashing the shore," A3 Ctptain Rose syoke he poizted with his right hand in the direction cf one of the two headlands between which Dell Haven lay. "And no dory in the harbor," he continued, could weather Brigbt Head (pointing toward the headland at the left), not if Cap'n Hezokiah himself waa a rowin' of it. You'd better t te them row-keka ot and hide t!ie oars if he won't without yon doin' it." I can't bare to do it," said Mr. Swing, "Richurd will be bo disappointed. Ue set his luhster-pota vesterdav, and he hm t slept acy all right in his eargerne6S to go out early and haul them. IAn t you see, Captain Kose, it's Saturdayfand two whole coaches fall of the summer boarders came last nijht to tho Bright Head House, and he can gt a big price for bis lobster, today. My poor Dick has worked to bard making the lobster-potä himself, and it eecms like cutting off the boy's reward to say 'you thn't go' to him.'' "S'pos you do feel weakiäh 'bout it. Jsuean; but you don't want that ere boat picked up adrift and no boy ia it, do you?" !Yu know I don't, Ciptain Hose," she said. "If I hadn't loxed him do you think I'd get up bjfore daylight to come down hero to see the lal ofL'' "Hush," said the Captain. 4,IIere be coco?, and ho's fastening his straw htt to his butioi3. He sees thoro is wind enough ahead." It was a morning in Jane, an I the sun wsj not yet risen, but the glory in his corning vrf.3 in the east and oa tas sea. As he came dovn the pier, the or3 on his thouUer, and securing his straw hat by a s:m, to Lis jtcket, th old Captaia eaid: "IiV a fine lad, Dick U, Jind he's will worth tho eaving." He's all the world to me," thought Urs. Swing, although her lips uttered no word. "(jrrxl mcrnia, Captsin ;e,r calbd cut lVichnrd. 'Good for lotste, dj you think?'' '! ;tt?r for leb'ters than 'tis for boys," ejaculate! the Captain, removing his broad, brown hands froin bis shoulder arid lajicg oi:ocf them on the lad's shoulder as soon as he came witüia touching distance. 'I say, D;ck Swing, that you are not going out in that cocklosnell of your'n tnia raoraing,'' ha announced. "I certainly am, Captain Kose," returned the boy. "It's a little rouija, but like as cot the wind will come right around before I get halfway to the ledge, and 1 should think you would knew better than to scaro my little mother here hilf to do.-tb. kc, mother," he said, gayly, "I have n extra o?.r and one thole-pis, yes, two of them, in case a row-look gives way, aad I've got a lot ot extra courage about me that 1 can't exactly sbo-v you unless you coma with mo." Tii. 8 he iaii looking out at the sea, for he did m.t fell like looking tii.Ler at his mother or (Jt plain Kjee. "Dick." said Mrs. Swing, approaching the pier s edga as the owner of the lit'-'.a boat pr.ccodedto bestow his lunch-basket and extra undr the bow. "Well, mother," returned Richard, looking up. 'I wiöh you wouid not go," she said, her tones full of beseeching. "Why, mother? Dj you want my seven new lobster-pots to be carried olT to sea?'' he iked. "How could you hao the heart to ak rne? If thi3 wind k-jepa on blowing I shll lose tnem every one.'' That's true," j.culs.ted Captain Rose. 4I never thought of that. It's just right, thi? wind i, to drag theai oST, bat you never can haul them in alone. You'll 0 sure to be dregged overboard." 'No, 1 shan't. Come along with-me if you want to help," laughed Richard. "Humph 1 I should sink that craft before we got out of harbor," taid the Captain; "though if wasu't so heavy I would go." Captain Rose weighed. a triÜo lees than three hundred pounds, and had left tho eea afwr fifty years of faithful service. Not another person was in sight. "I'll teil you what I'll do," said the Captain. "If you insist oa going, I'll stop on my way up and ask Captain Dtnforth to look out for you, and if he thinks you're getting into trouble to sail after you." "Thank you. Captain." "Dick," said his mother, can't you let thj lobster-pots go?" 'Couldn't pcsibly," smiled the boy. ' C .u'.d you have the heart to ask me? "Will you east me oif, mother?" he called, a second later. "Wait a minute " exclaimed Mrs. Swing. "Fetch your boat close up. I w ant to speak to vou, Dich. Th-j boat received the necessary impetus, and touched tho side of the pier. Mrs. Swing bad seated herself on ths toptaost iay'.-r of log farming the wharf, and leaned over as though to speak Cjnlideatially to her eon. ' "D'.-k " said hi i mother, 'hold fast! I'm ooraing," and into the boat si 6 dr. ppd be fore either Captain Rose on the dock or Captain R chard in tho boat had knowledge of hr intention. "What under the sun, mother," cried the bov. 'do v u rif an? "I'm g ing witi )ou, Dick, to ktep you from tuuiblirj; overboard when you haul in, and she seated herself in the stern, calling back as th tide floated the boat, out "We dcpeid on you. Captain Rose to send afier us if we if It gets too rough," she carped, with a dash of spray in her fa.ee. "Ay. ay!" cried the Captain, ana he took oT his tat and swung it, he scarcely knew whv. Of all the women in D ill Haven, from the eldest to the yo-jngost, II ri. Swing most feared the sea. To live beside it, to watch its everv mood, delighted her, but to ven ture on it for pleasure she was never known to do.
A moment's peace she ne? er knew when
Richard, her only son, was exposed to the
treachery of the waters, but rather than mar his wild delight in wind and waves this unselfish mother concealed &3 much as possible her anxiety for him. Richard was noUelfith, and bad he iaif gined what his mcther was at that moment suffering would have put the boat about and tied it forever at the stake rather than cause her this agony. Just as the boat get well into the toil cf tho waves the sun arose, shedding such brilliance on the waters that Mrs. Swing, who sat facing it, was dazzled and well nigh failed to see ia time a gill net into which the boat was running. "See any boat ahead, mother?" questioned Richard. "You must keop a good lookout for me. I've pot myTangea right and can fetch the lobster grounds every time." "Is it far?" questioned his mother shuddoricgly. "Not very; just outside Dull nead. I reckon we'll fetch it," said the lad, dipping bis oars for a full stroke and then letting tho boat slide up to the summit of a rolling wave, a trick he had caught from Captain Hezekiah Danforth, the master boatman of Dell Haven. The wind grew ttronger and strongor and the Y.aves every moment increased in size. Even Richard elanced sideways more than onco with ill-concealod anxiety as the long billows came tumbhn!' on. and just then getting a glympso of his mother's face beheld it so blanched with terror cf the sea that it seemed to him his mother was no loncer in tho boat with him. "Dick." she pasped as h oar mirsed stroke and sent the spray over -the boat, Dick, I ci alraid to go on. Dick glanced backward. Ho had pulled about a milo from shore and was midway between the two headlands familiarly spok en of as the Horn. Dull Head was surrounded by an even accumulating mass of breakers, and Bright Head cangnt me Eea on it3 precipitous sides, sending it backward in fountains of loam, and all the lour mi.es that lay between the two points were roll ing miles of billow S tticg with Lis face landward Rkhard had not fully folt thq danger. Now the lad could not repress a shudder as ho said: "I don't believe I could Und the buoys in such a sea, and nobody could haul iu the poU. I believe I'll put about" 'O, do! O, Richard, there cornea an awful onef and Urs. Swing slipped down from her soat into the bottom of th e boat and hid her face from the oncoming wave. Richard gave a mighty pull at the oars to koep the boat bead on, and it rode that wave in safety only to meet new ones, into whose depths the tiny choll rolled, to be completely hidden from the sight of two men who wero standing out oa tho Dell Haren pier. One was Hexokiah Danforth, the other was Capt'iin Roec. 'lf there was only a tur in tiat to h lp them," groaned Captain Rose." "Why dida't you dun a little coa.mon ten into tho woman if she didn't take any naturally," scolded Captain Dinforth, "or saut her and tho bsy np somewhere.'' I told her, but 1 declare when I was yrung l could have brought aown lueni oars in half the time it takes Jim to fetch em. I say, 'Kiah Danforth, aint that boat trying to put about?" "It acts like it, John, but it wni get swamped just as euro a guns if no, it's going on. There's nothing eUe to do. I never in all my lifo saw a time when there wasn't a sail in sight. That boat's gone I No There it comes sgaint" Suddenly a cry for a helping hand was ruined among the bystanders, and willing hearts went forth from the land. Every wcond tells. It's a race for life!" called out Captain D-nforth. "Jim, you'd bet'ergetin. xonrs strong; if one of us tuckers out you can take hold." All ready lay tho boat, a dark green surf boa', a Ix.at that could stand heavy soa., and tbe two mon and boy who hai nobly volunteered were not Jong in starting off. "6ueceM to you. Fetch 'era back alive 1" called out Captain Rose. All at once the pier at Dell Haven seem ed thronged with people. The news had spread that Mrs. Hwing and Richard were out alone on tho sea. As they wa'.chod the dim, dark speck now rising upon the swelling waters and as quickly van;.hing from sight, not ona of the little throng but knew tho danger ot tho tinv bsat With breathless eagerness they wiUcbei tho surf boat as its two rowers stood at the oar urging it onward. "It's down the harbor now. They're catching it. .It's an awful wind for June. Do you think they re gaining on 'era: lhat mito of a bimt will never live till they get there, ' wers some of the remarks hoard as th.'y pasitd on. As for Captain Koeo he went panting up tho hill into tho town, climbed into the belfry of Dell Haven Church, a3 far up as he could go, and watched through a spy-glass the progress of tho mere speck iu the dis tance and tho toiling helpers so far behind. fter a few uiautes he realized that Captain Danforth, although doing hiä utciof t, could not reach the periled ones in time to save them and he said to himself: "The boy is doing well, but he can't hold out. I must do it." Captain Rose a littlu daughter had followed ber father into the Church and climbed the belfry stairs. 'See here, Dollv, he said, "can you look through hero and keep - sharp watch? No, you run you can go quicker'n I can,' and the Captain scribbled a message on the back of an envelope, and giving it her bade her make haste to the telegraph ollico. "You tell Johnny Blake it's to save life, and it mu?t go ahead of e verything." Dilly Roso Gil not need to bo told twice. She ran evory step of the way, and rushing into the telegraph othce hushed and eager, cried out: ''Mr. Blake, here, send this quick. iRichard Swing and his mother are going to drown, and it a to save them! 'Captain Tuuk, Steam-tug ucod Heart, Cromwell Harbor: Steam out at once in search of small boat woman and bDV in it o3 Dell Ilavon throe miles: going against the wind; can't latt long. JofiN RosK." "All right," faid the operator, clicking away at his machine for a minute. or two, and then exclaiming, "It's done. "Wait a minute, sis; and I'll tell you whether or not ho gets it; wire runs right down to tfce wharf." Ten minutes went by. Ten bad pa3sod when the answer came back: . Steam'a up; start at once; go myself. Timothy Tktjk." " The operator did not stop to write it "Run quick ani tell your father Captain True is cono already," he said. Dolly ran, eaying to everyone she met, Ihey ll bo cared! They'll be saved! ' The child got up the belfry stair, and couldn't utter rt word. She could onlv smile and bow Ler head aad try to get out the message, which she did at last. Captain Rose's cyo was on the speck. He dared not tako it off lost never to find it again. Meanwhile the news got abroad that Captain Roso had telegraphed to Cornwall fof a tug, and the burden of fear r-ew lighter. In the little boat agftln and agiia had Richard tri(l to turn, its head toward the land, but with ach trial it took in so much water that bo was forced to give up the at tempt. Nothing could be done but keep off aad face the boiling sea. Very, few words wero spoke u. .Sirs. Swing kept bail
ing as fast as possible, with only the shell of
a horse-shoe crao to work with. At length came a wae like a small hill, up which the boat rode gallantly, and then suddenly Richard shouted: 'They're coming for us, mothor. I see a boat just ouUide the harbor." Then the tears sprang to Mrs. Swing's eyes. She stopped bailing for a moment to look toward the thoro. All she could see waa a wall of water shutting out the land 'Courage, mother," Dick said. Every rise and fall of the oar was a prayer; every dip of the poor old crab hell was a petition for life. Out from Cromwell Harbor, seven miles to the eastward, and hidden from sight by Bright Head, steamed the tug Good Heart. Never had its Captain stood watching the sea with more earnest gaze. Never was steam applied with more generous hand Twas the woman and the boy in the boat out at the sea that lived in the gaze, in the steam and in the fuel, and Good Heart bore away with cordial speed till Brigdt Head waa won and weathered. "I see it!' shouted the Captain, ''though how in thunder it's lived to get there's more'n I know," and he gave directions to Eteam outsido. Richard's attention was so divided between the billows and the land and tho friendly boat, and Mrs. Swing wa3 so intent on bailing, that neither of them saw the tug until it was upon them, and a hailing vcice shouted: "Hold on till we pick you up." It seemed as a voice from heaven hai spoken. Even bluff old Captain Rose, up in tha belfry of the Church, ejecuiated, ''Thank God!" as he raw the tug come to. The shock of the call, the sight of the black throbbing tug, friendly as they seemed, yet came near swamping tho boat, for Richard let it turn, and the last strength he bad was put forth in holding it up to the wind until a line waa cast off, and even then be had no power to make it fast. It was Jirs. Swing who tried to obey the commands thftt came but could net. . ' Finally the tug's beat was lowered. It wis no easy task to get to leeward and board the Good Heart, which held its breath, bracing itself against the waves almost as a thing of life to do its kindly office. Richard and his mcther had been saved. 'Give 'em a signal! Givo 'em three!" and tho steam-whistle blew three shrieks that went over the bay and up the harbor and over against the meeting-house steeple, until old Captain Rose fell down on bis knees to utter the first prayer of thankfulness his little Dolly had ever heard her father offer. Stephen Girard'. Marriage, and tbe Horrible JJitfcovery He Made. A correspondent says: Having several hours of leisure while in Philadelphia, upon the occasion refeired'to, in company with a resident of the place I drove out to that renowned philanthropic memorial, and after inspecting the eight white granit buildings on the ample grounds instituted an inquiry among old Tniladclphians to ascertain, if possible, the motives which prompted Girard in founding the institution, and the causo of bis enmity toward all Churches. Tho fetory, as .1 obtained it from unquestionably correct source?, is as followa: Girard was formerly a devout Catholic, whose contributions to the Church at times were almost princely. Ho did net marry until many years of eld bachelorhood had tinged his hair with gray, and but for a strange meeting would doubtless' have remained a celibate. Being the largest shipowner in the world, his business lad him to nearly all parts of the glebe, and hi3 name was familiar in every merchant port. On a public occasion when a large body of merchants welcomed him home alter a leng cruise, the festivitit of the reception turned from speech-making to a grand ball, at which Girard saw and was introduced to the daughter of a prominent gentleman in Philadelphia, and this meeting, which had many singular features about it not necessary to be related, culminated in marriage. It is said by all those with whom I conversed on the subject that Girard's young wife was exquisitly beautiful and a lady or rare polish and education. His treatment of her, C3tead of being auatere, as "Gatn" declares, wa3,tbat of a proud lover, ever anxious to excite her favors by a bestowal of elegant gifls and a constant exhibition of loving tendernoss. One year after his marriage business e died Girard to South America, where ho remainod nearly eighteen months, and upon his . return he wa3 greeted affectionately' by hi? young wife, but her caresses were poison to his lips, for there were unmistakable evidences readily apparent that she was about to become a mother. I could aid nothing to tho fact3 of this sad story by dwelling upon t e scene which followed. Girard's reproach was succeeded by a frank confession from nis wife, who named their favorite pa3tor as her guilty companion. I am not prepared to say of what denomination Mrs. Girard was a member, but my impression now is that Girard had some time previously withdrawn from the Catholic Church for some just reason, and that both he and his wife had united with tomo Protestant sect. Girard could not forcjive hia wife, and she, being a keenly sensitive woman, was so conscience-stricken by her great crime that two months after the revelation she became insane and was carried to a mad-house. Here she languished for nearly two years, when death delivered her of her malady. The Church of which she was a Dember took charge of her remains and gave them burial commensurate with the great wealth of her husband. A bill for the funeral ex penses was afterwords presented to Girard, but be peremptorily refused payment, and the matter was about to go into the courts. Discovering the attitude in which such a legal contest would place him, Girard paid the bill under protect, and then, feeling as though the Church bad stabbed him twice, he withdrew from active life, and, realizing $18,000,000 from his shipping interests, he concluded to spend frS.OOO.OOO of that sum in founding a college, which he intended should be a perpetual reproach to all Churches and the lollowcrs tbereef. Hia respect for society and his relations prevented him from exposing the secret which crushed hia life, ai.d thus speculation has been left to write the history of his domestic sorrows. KctatiT Term. A person thoroughly converted to a certain belief is more sensitive and delicate in recogniz'mg tho spirit of certain terms than one who has not fully entered tbe enchantment pf tbe perfected circle. "We never doubt the sincerity of one who becomes converted to the ida of perfect equality f tbe sexes, but soenctirres the language used in speaking of the opposite sei is not in iru9 harmony with the highest ideal of spiritual companionship, fcr instance, it is not un usual that the following expressions occur in speakinff or writing: "ilan and wife which smacks too much of drawing a sex line. It should read "Man and woman" or "husband and wife." How would it look to write it ''woman and husband?" or 'wife and man?'' Let theso relative terms ba used by all in such a perfect way as to denote the parfectocl equality cf the sexes. The recent creation of seven cardmala by l ope Leo A.

At a recent meeting of the Unitarian Club, in Boston, President Eliot related an amusing anecdote of two honored Professors of Yale, one of whom, he said, is long of speech, the other concise and pithy. "The wo were taking a walk spiced with conver sation ono day, when they wero met by a friend, who greeted them with this paraphress of a r.ible text: "Day unto Dwight uttereth speech; Dwight unto Day showeth knowledge." An amusing story is told of tho successful courtship of the lato Astronomer Royal, and how it began. A friend had aked: 'Uaveyou ever observed Mhs X'a eyes? They have the principle of double refraction." This struck tha philosopher as odd, and he expressed a wish to see them, and to call.

It is Fail in the patent office reports that patenU were granted last week to women. That is as it should be. We have thought for years that women ought to Lave been patented, and are glad that it has been done finally. They are the greatest invention of this or any other age, and it is ridiculous to think of fortunes being made on the invention of mouse-traps, tobacco-boxes, sewingmachines and breech-loading fire-arms, when there is no patent on women, the great labor-saving sewing-machine and gen erally useful article. The party who "has got a patent on women has got a fortune, as no person who enjoys the society oi the pat ent will kick on paying a royalty. Now let the newly-patented article vote, and it is all right. Pock's Sun.

Of course, tbe incandescent system can produce no disturbance) of the atmosphere and no heated gases. A gas well in Clarendon, Pa., dug in 1831, oa depth cf a littlo more than 1,000 feet, row supplies fuel to twenty-six drilling wells, thiee pumping walls, 125 stoves, two machine shops, and two pumping stations. Recently, on a rather cold day, tho guage in the company's office showed a pressure of seventy-threo pounds to tho square inch. Dr. S. Gibbon, Medical Officer for the Iolborn district, London, savs in his latest report, that, whatever may ba tho cause, there is no doubt that a Jew's life in London is, on the average, worth twice as many years as a Christian'. The Hebrews of the metropolis are notoriously exempt from tubercular tmd scrofulous taint. Pulmonary consumption is very rare among them. The medical officers of one of the Jewish schools ha3 remarked that their children do not die in anything like the same ratio as Christian children. In High street, Whitechapel. the average death rate on the north side, which is occupied by Jews, is twenty per thousand, while on the south side, which is occupied by English and Irkh Gentiles, it is fortyII 1 A - iuree pur luuusnuu, Dr. K. von Fritsch, of Halle, maintains that the cau:os of earthquake are much slighter than ha3 leon generally believed, that they may be sought at a depth'of not more than ten or fourteen miles, aad often of less, and that rather feeblo forceä may produc3 earthquakes wmch will be feit at great diätacces. Tho hammer in Krupp'a factory, which weighs a thousand centners, and falls from a height of ten loet, produces sensible concussions over a surface five miles in diameter; and a recent explosion ia a dynamito factory was felt at between twenty-five and thirty mileB away. Dr. Fritsch points out how earthquakes might and must be produced by the increase and decrease in volume of rocks under tho in-i fluenco of physical and chemical forces,, by concussions, ty the opening of crevices in roek3, and by the subsidence of masses cf rocks duo to these agencies.
