THE HEWITTS AT SEA.

The principal incident in Abram Hewitt's life was in 1844 when he and Edward Cooper were cast adrift in a leaky boat from the packet Alabama, which was wrecked in a fierce storm soon after leaving the Mediterranean for New York. He show* ed so high an order of heroism on that occasion that the Coo/pen took him into the bosom of their family the lovely Sally, daughter of the house, giving him hqr heart an a hand. It was that awful experience at sea that caused Mr. Hewitt in later years never to risk the lives of the several members of his family in a single vessel when a voyage to Europe was to be made. Wife, sons mid daughters would, sail on different steamers and meet on the other side. A few other heads of families have adopted these tactics in imitation of Mr. Hewitt.

This time he replied that he had made a lot of money and paid him SSO he had borrowed on a previous occasion. “Well, me boy,” said Pop Corbett, “remember there’s an old proverb and a true one, Tt's the roving bee that gets the honey.* *’
