When I was a young; fellow, now many years ao. I frequently spent part 5f my uicr.tion with an uncle, who lire! in a U nutiftil part of Wales, and who house wits only a mile or two from the coM" in that neighborhood, very wild and precipitous, and remarkable fur the peculiar character of the strata of which many of the wave and weather-beaten elitfia were coin posts!. My tingle waa a keen geologist, and had imbued me with some of hit own interest in the subject: and many a lonami pleasant ramble we had together, armed with oar little hammer and specimencasrs; sometimes starting directly after breakfast, and remaining absent till the evening, either carrying oar simple luncheon with us, or adjourning for refreshment to some humble village hostelry, when such happened to be within eav reach. Those were pleasant day. I often look back to them now, when I ate an -elderly gtnUen.aa. subjeet to gout and rhenmaiiui. and tied lor moat of the week to a dingy office in the ritv. But they were very nearly being brought to aa abrupt conclusion b aa incident that occurred during one of our more dhrtaat excursions and as the relation of thii incident commemorate a rare intanee of combined pluck, presence of mind and heroic self-sacrifiee, I do not think f need any further excuse for en tering upon the detaila connected with it Few people are ever likely to be placed in a similar position: should. iHWrerer, such an occasion arise, let us hope they may not be found wanting in aouny to iouow so samiraote an ex ample. lmring one of my viiiits to my uncle. an turn at the same time as guests two profemioaal ireokMrista of some emi nenee, who had heard of the special facilities the neighborhood afforded for the pursuit of their favorite science, and had nad some correspondence with my uncle on the atibject, which resulted in meir recemngan inritatton from mv hospitabie relative to.eoaae to his house jMige of the matter for themselves. ThU invitation waa accepted, and the fpnilojrisu arrived; two very vieaaant. well-informed men, between whom and my uncle a very interesting and ant mated conversation speedily ensued, in which the terms granitic debris,' 'boulder dar," " newer formation,' "dip of the Wata." were freely bandied about in a manner very edifvingto lisUm to, if not altogether intelligible to the majority o their hearers. Far the first day or two we contented -oursvives with showing the strangers the features of scientific interest more jnmwiistely in the vicinity; and with m they were greatly gratified. But my nncle was anxious 'that ther should inspect a district some miles off", peculMMrly rich In specimens, and which be d himself visited several years before, but never since I had been the eompanion of hht expeditions; therefore was new to me as well as to our gutsts. Everything was arranged for JHtratart; ami we set off after an early breakfast, driving the first portion of m distance, and putting up onr trap t farm-hnnw. to await our Jctitrn, while we pursued the remainder of our Mriim on fcot. It was an exquisite tor and as we walked along the cliffs -here of very remarkable height and gninecnce-we indulged in loud exjttVttfoa of admiration at the beauty t the scenery, the haid line of coast rtretchlng Way for mlhwt on each side, the tremendous precipices descending w to the bine waters that lapped their base only h and there btaken bv some jagged and pointed rocks, thai rUsatl rapid dcMtruction to any uttwrtnnatn vessels which should be cast in Urnnt.

so aatlfaMiM4ltr m. wafdsd. We bad taken skm sandwiches ana snerry with us, and enjoyed our lunch during an interval of testation ftoni our geological nuesrchea. BythU Urns we had reached the extreme emi of oursxbedltkm, and were on the point of retracing onr steps when one of the waacem expressed a desire to round a promontory a short distance ahead, su as to inspect tan line of coast Just beyond; the proposal was agreed to; and wa all started along the cliff, which at this place was of a lesser altitude than at some points we had previously passed, though still it was about fifty or sixty feet above the level of the sea, which at the time was at full flow, and washed against the rooky vail below it. To round the promontory we found it was necessary to descend a little way, and then proceed along a narrow Mge of projecting rock, so very narrow in some part that it would have been impossible for any one to have attempted the passage unlew he had a remarkably good and steady head. We were all experienced climbers, so the risk was disregarded; and the two geologist and my uncle had just turned round a rather sharp' angle, and 1 was closely following, when the rook on which I trod suddenly gave way under my feet, and after abrief but Ineffectual struggle I slipped down, with ray face toward the sea. Uttering a cry, I instinctively Dung my hands upwards; one of them in some marvelous manner caught a project in portion of the ledge; the other was stmnglv grasped by my uncle, who, beiu mercifully close lu me, turned at my shout, and instantly seised hold of my extended hand; For two or three minutes, which seemfd an eternity to us both, my brave ndaiive, who, though an elderly, was a very riawerral man, held tue upcnded In this frightful manner, while ho endeavored to take in the situation and decide on a plan of artioa. Our horriiied friends were powerless to help, as they could not HMibly get near inc. on account of the narrowness of the ledge, which afforded even my uncle a most precarious footing, and rendered useless anv attempt to raise me from ray dreadful position. I was foung', and life was very sweet to me; Mrt I felt that my last moment waa at hand. Another second or two must end the matter; no severe a train could no longer be endured; our hands in tut loosen their hold; and 1 must inevitablv be dashed tn pieces on the broke rocks I had observed at the foot of the precipice. There was an instant of breathless silence, during which time my uncle had clearlv realised the critical nature of the Mtuatkm. and decided on a plan of action. He looked over, and saw that just tolow the spot where I was susjtended there Was a ragged projection of rock, extending follv six feet beyond the perpendicular of the point where I hung. If I fell on this my fats was sealed; no power could save me from death. Beyond this rock was water, possibly f a depth sufneleat to break the fore of a faU, If only that water could he reached r but in this lav all the difficulty. My nnete was a good as well as a brave man; he loved me as the son of a dead sister, and he was wilting to dare everything; to save me; but he did not undervalue the nature of the awful risk be was undertaking on my behalf, and he knew that be was going to take his own life hi his hands as wclfasmine. Breatblasr a praver for Divine nrotection, ne sara qtueuy nut nrraiy: . as" a m , firmly : 'Tom; j there is out one way for it I'll save you, or we will both perish together. When I amy the word, take your hand from the rock Now!" As my uncle loudly said "Now!" I J relaxed my bold of the rock; and at the same instant my uncle made an immense effort and sprang horizontally into the air, carrying me with him and retaining his hold of my hand as we rushed violently down, turning over in our headlong descent. I can not pretend to say Stat I ever very distinctly recollected my sensations during those awful seconds, for It was nothing more. I had my senses pretty clearly while I hung from the rock, and I can recall the gasping feeling which I experienced as I took my hand away; but beyond that, all is chaos. So great was the force with which my uncle leaped, that he oontpieteJy cleared the projecting ledge, and we fell into the sea, which was deep enough to break our fall, thowgh the violence of the shock unloosed our grasp of each other. Half stunned as we were, the cold water probably acted as a restorative. We wore both excellent swimmers, and a ntosneat or two later we were breastlag the waves, fortunatelv not too bolsterone for onr sorely tried strength. We rose about twenty yarns apart, at some little distance from the rocky , ledge, and rather nearer a ikttish rock wham reared its head from the billows. For this shelter we made; and too deep for utterance wore the feelings with which we took each others hands ana .gazeu into each other's eyes. "Thank God! my boy," at last said my uncle, fervently. 1 Uncle; ami you. too. wnere should I havw bee Jw. but fotr you "Hush! Tom. 'Thank Clod, we're both safe. It wife an ugly jnmn no doubt of that." . We both shuddered cased on the precipice frowning above ue, on the top of which we could see onr two so recently horror-stricken friends, wildly waving their hats in a transport of joy at their discovery of us on the rook, apparently safe and sound. A heartY cheer in reolv assured them of our perfect safety; and then my uncle shouted to them some directions aft to the eftuwe they were to pursue in endeavoring to procure assistance for our resene. owing to the width of testa broke of where I feU, their nrtttrn by ii. inula mmm iasiwMntbia: aan. a onjww arrnliV n.w rrnn iwnresmsief w

taken before they were themselves la security, when they immediately sought oil means of daiiveranoe for my undo sod myself. Hut la the meantime better look had hefallea. us. The nolss mad by our shooting had attracted (he notice of a fisherman who lived in a little cottage under the cliffs, at a place whore the shore reeeded. and left bare a tiny creek where a smalt boa was moored. He had clambered over the crag thai hid us frnu his sight; and as soon as he spied the two figures standing on the solitary rock our situation became anIiareat to him, and be lont no time in aunching his boat and coming to our assistance. Truly thankful we were for the timely akf. We were both soaked to the skin and shivering with cold, and we took was far too small for any attempt at exercise, A very abort time saw us in the cosy interior of the fisherman's cottage, where a bright little tire was burning, very welcome to u in onr chilled condition; while his kindly wife busied herself in preparations for our comfort, and ran ac teed her humble stores for a supply of dry garments, also highly acceptable. Little remains to he told. When we were quite rested and refreshed, and our clothes were dry enough to be worn, the lisherman conducted us to the top of the cliff by a circuitous little path, which in Home- places unpleasantly recalled our recent experience. We reached the summit in safety, however, ami made the. best of our way to the, Jarufr-house where we bad left'our conveyance. The fisherman undertook to S prise our friends of our wbercaboatt; n having procured a boat at the revenue station, and come round he ooat in her, to point out to her orew the exact spot of our confinement. Having liberally rewarded tboe who had so willingly assisted us in our extremity, we returned home, our bodies fatigued by the varied exertions and excitements, of the day; our minds penetrated with lasting gratitude towards the Almighty Being who bad brought us through so many perils, and had mercifully preserved 'us from the jaws of a sudden and terrible destruction. Chamber? Journal. They Faid 9e Duty. There is a celebrated restaurant down towc, the proprietor of which sits, Mko Zaccheas. at the receipt of custom. lie is a persuasive foreigner, with a most engaging air and that effusion of manner which convinces every patron that he is the lat ter' s closest and dearest persona) friend. It has been for years a habit of this ingenious gentleman to say to each customer as he paid his bill and scrutinized the cigar stand? "What for yon bodder about does cigars' Here (in a deep whisper, and with an overwhelming wink) 1st some cigars worth smoking. Dey are chenuwine but they have pan no duddy (another profound wink). Only ten cents!" Equal hr nattered by being taken into his confidence and by the receipt of a good imported cigar in exchange for such a nominal amount as ten cents, the customer fell himself bound over and over again by a strong personal tie to the shrewd and insinuating gentleman of the counter. But alas! aum brurht MfHtdar tha piuu tom-bonse authorities, always on the qui rt'tv, heard of these generous trans actions of " imported cigars that had paid no duty," and an official raid was the natural result. A chief detective grabbed the celebrated inexhaustible ciear-box under the counter, and his subordinate took possession of some twenty or thirty others of the same brand. "What's the matter f inquired the astonished restaurateur. "IstJae these cigars as smuggled goods," replied the custom-house detective. The honest restaurateur burst oat Into food laughter. "Bonner wetter! Dose Is domestic cigars I bought in Chatham street, six dollars a hundred," he exclaimed, the tears running from hht eyes. What are ther doing in these Havana boxes?" inquired the man of the custom-house. " I put dent in dote bones to suit my own convenience," said the restaurateur, growing a bit thoughtful. ' "AH right," replied the detective, carelessly; for he knew by hearsay the clever little dodge of the restaurateur; ' I'll take them and if you can prove what you say you can release them." The Belgian's brow darkened. To prove his story, of course, would be to destroy hht reputation with those of his customers on whom he had bestowed a real genuine cigar for ten cents. If the oustom-honse officials kept than boxes it would not be long before the warder would out. There was clearly only one thing to do, ami that was to pay the duty. How much Is the lotf ho inquired, ruefully. " Seven hundred ami fifty dollars," replied the deteottve. It. was a bitter straggle, but in the long ran the little Belgian's apprehensions for the future got the upper hand, and slowly and sadly he gave n is check for seven hundred and fifty dollars for duty on about three hundred ttallar worth of domestic cigars. He finds some comfort, however, in the difcovery that his euJrtomet hare heard nothing about the matter, but,, on the contrary, keep on joyfully paylair each hht ton cents for the "real" article from Chatham street. if.

Watte Late Brum,

For dress oeonstons, lor fete aaddlnners at the watering-pUees, white lace dresses are the first choice, and these are made short, and are conehlarsn appropri&te both fur day eatertammente, when a hat of the lace may be worn with it, or for the most elaborate dinner party, where a trained skirt was formerly tu rigutur. White French laces, woven precisely like the well-known black French laces that imitate Chantillv, are the novelties for these dresses, and are used in pieoe laee for the basque and over-skirt, and with scalloped edges as trimming lace. These are made up over inexpensive and soft white satin Sarah as a foundation skirt and basque lining, and are simply fashioned as a postilion, or else n very short basque that is even around the hips, and trimmed all around the edge with full frills of the lace, or alaoe ruche with rosettes, or else with soft puffs, or it may be a panier drapery that forms the old-fashioned panier basque. The Surah lining is high in the neck, and follows the outlines of the basque, but all llalng may be omitted in the lace sleeves. The Surah skirt has box-plai tings of surah at the foot, on which the garniture lace is arranged in thick plaits at intervals, forming a ruche, and the spaces between the plaiting are filled in with oblong roiettest of very narrow white satin ribbon so thickly clustered in loops that five or six yards are required for each rosette; sometimes several hundred yards of ribbon are on a single drtjfs. as there are similar rosettes on the Fides of the skirt, down the front of the waist to the point, and on the postilion and the sleeves. White Oriental net In the piece, with lace to match, is also used for these dresses, and is trimmed with wide trips of cryrttal-beaded net cut from the piece and laid along the apron drapery, cither lengthwise or horizontally, as the height of the wearer may determine. The sleeves are made entirely of, the crystal beading, and the neck, whether square, a pointed surplice or with a vet, has this beaded net gathered Inside of it, to partly till up the open space or form a vest or plastron. Black French lace dresfre made in the same way, and trimmed with jet-beaded net and satin ribbons, are laid as transparent over black atin Surah, and arc considered the choicest black drees of the summer. Antique sHk guipure lace in the niece and in trimming widths Is again in fashion for black dresses and is very handsome when mad up over black gros grain. The designs of flowers, leaves and stripes worn ten years ago arc again seen, and there are also quaint figures of birds, dragons and animals woven la these rich guipure leoea. Uarjicr't Bnxar. The Keely Meter Sasaye. I met to-day the chief support of that psychological puxxle of the age the Keely motor. Mr. Fmnk U. Green was a prosperous manufacturer of iron pipe until be became infatuated with the motor fat 1874, and neglected his business. Bankruptcy ensued. Since then he has been Keely s chief supporter, the treasurer of the company, and constant friend of the wildest fraud of the times. I knew Mr. Green when he was In the iron business, and when wo meet I never fail to ask him how the motor k coming on. Sometimes be invites me to a little office he has in the Boreel building, and sb-iw me pictures of the motor and reads w Mr. Keeiy's latest explanations of this great discovery, which might jnst as well be written in Choctaw for all the sense that they convey. To-day it was the same story that I have heard for the last ten years. "It's all right this time." he said; 'there's no mistake about it now. Our fiOO-horse-power engine is alt ready to he put together. By the middle of next month we shall give you newspaper men an exhibition mat will convert yen aU. The stock will go up to 9A.00U a share within two days after your ar ticles appear "What's it worth now?" I vestured to ask. "Five dollars a share If any one wants to buy.

Not only that, but Mr. Keely has so perfected his invention that, by running wires from, hi generator in Philadelphia, sav, he can work all the engines in New York.
