ARACE WITH DEATH 4 ° ‘Sir, you're an ass.’ , Sir, 'm not. I came here to sue for your danghter’s hand, and—— ‘And you expect me to give my daughter to a man who,-whatever may be his other qualities, has not a copper in the world to bless himself with! ‘I know I have no money at present, sir; but I have hopes—— ‘A pretty thing to begin housekeeping on! Supposing you were married to-morrow, do you wish to live or die the day after?. . . ‘Live, sir, of course. o ‘Why, of course? To live you want food; if you want food you want money, and as you have no money you would ‘get no food; and food means starvation! Do you see that, sir?’ ‘Yes, sir, but——’ :

‘But! There’s no but in the case.— Now take a bit of advice from me, Mortimore, as one of yourfather’s oldest friends. Go and earn your living; and when you show’'me that you can support my daughter if I give her to vou—mind you; if—l shall be ready to talk to you. Good morning, bah! and the tasty but good natured gentleman stumped out of the ropm, leaving me speechless, ;sitting on the edge of a chair with my hat in my hand. Allmy hopes had been® ruthlessly, dashed to the ground. I had expected to argue the point with Mr. (llavering, as Bessie, his daughter, had assured me it would be all right if I only put the matter properly before him. We had mutually agreed that he would be sure to give his consent, and had laid no end of plais for the future, in which everything but the question of money had- been exhaustively considered.— The abrupt manner in which this had now been brought up disconcerted me not a little, and I left the room not quite :so certain-that I did not resemhle that generally good-natured but otherwise unreliable quadruped to whieh Mr. Clavering had likened me in the eourse of our conversation. ’ At the door I met Bessie, with an expression of mangled anxiety and curiosity on her countenance. ‘Well, Jack, what did papa say ¥’ ‘That I was an ass, Bessie. ‘Oh, I hope you did not quarrel. I was afraid there was'something wrong, as'T heard him order deviled kidneys for alunch, and he never does that without he is in a passion. ‘Bessie, the old gentleman asked me how we were going to live. - ‘Well, did you tell him in a little eottage, with-a gardep in front, and a ‘ pig-gery, and a kitehen garden, and a | fowl-house, and a dairy, and—' | ‘Yes, ves; but that's not what he | meant. . He wanted to know where all the money was to come from to pay for all this.” - : ; “‘Why, you were to provide the money of course. You were to earn - it g e ‘Certainly, but your father wanted to know how. o R ! “How? Well you would — there, now you ought to know best, surely. Don’t youel ' . *No, I don’t Bessie, and I think we ought to have thought of that before.’ ‘Jack, I don’t wonder papa got in a passion with you, you're -so stupid I have a great mind to get angry with yow myself. : ‘But, sweetheart; don’t you really think 'we ought to have considered how we were going to buy what we wanted ?° - :

- ‘That was your business, not mine; and Jack, if you look at me like that T'll box your ears.’ ‘No you won't; I think you're in a very bad temper this morning. ‘Do you? Now I tell you what it is, Mr. Jack,. Till youfind out how we're going to get money to live on, I won’t have anything more to do with you at all. Don’t come near me now. I don’t love. you a bit; I never shall, and I never did!. And Jack when you find out how, you'll come and tell me first, won’t you? and away -dashed Bessie, leaving me at the garden gate to which we had walked during our conwyersation. - .

It was a lovely spring morning. All nature seemed in ecstacy at the prospeet of approaching summer. I alone was sad. I could not help feeling that I had made a mistake, and that 1 must have lowered myself considerably in { the estimation of old Mr. Clavering by appearing so thoughtless and: incon-t siderate. True, I was but nineteen, -and having lost my father early, had been, brought up and educated by my mother alone, and so, perhaps, had rather less knowledge of the world than I shofild have acquired had I-been sent to a publie school or to the university. My position was by no means A bad one. The only son of a distin- | guished military officer, who was not | wealthy but left what little he had to his widow during his lifetime. I might | be said to] have possessed a good edu- ] -cation, and what was better, fair pros- | pects. 1 had been invited by Mry. Clavering, who was an old military comrade of my father’s, to spend a month with him at his residence at Morecombe bay. During my stay 1 had learned first to like and then to love his daughter Bessie, and when my visit approached its termination had not only declared my love, but had asked permission to marry, with what result is known. Having been always tolerably well suplied with money, I had never yet been brought face to face with the great reducer of humanity,—the necessity to earn one’s bread, —and was, therefore, rather ignorant of some of the principal duties of life than unmindful of them. The bluft! common sense of Bessie’s father had compelled me to consider matters from a practical point of view, and I was now, perhaps, more angry with myself than with any one else. ‘I walked on, but finally determined to return to the cottage and saddle Moro for aride. Moro had been my father’s charger, and had been left to me, with particular instructions as to his care. ‘He - was a splendid horse of jet black color and enormous strength. By the kind- . ness of my host I had been permitted to bring him with me, and many a . %lgsaaant ride had lon his back with ; gie Clavering, ' se As T re-entered the pleasant garden

attached to the cottage, I strove in vain to catch a glimpse of Bessie, and reached the stable without having met anybody but the old gardner, whd saluted me with the useful ‘How’ee do, sir” I was soon by the side of Moro, who gave a neigh of delight as I entered. It did not take me long to put on his saddle, and as I left the vard I learned from the old groom that Miss Clavering had ridden Out alone about a quarter of an hour before me. I was certainly much chagrined at | this, and made several mental resolves | to be fully revenged as soon as I could t get a convenient opportunity. I turned down alane that led out to the bridle path along the top of the cliffs, and letting the reins down over Moro’s ;neck, abandoned myself to building castles in the air, in the erectien of which Bessie took a prominent part. The spot was admirably adapted to meditation. To my left a small'wood, through the breaks of which glimpses of the rising upland were caught now and then; straight ahead a broad ex‘panse of purple cliffs, at the foot of which lay a vast tract of sand, as the sea, owing to the flat shore, retires a distance of nearly four miles; far away in the distance the bright, dancing waters, with a sail or two in sight, and over the whole a glorisis expanse of blue, across which the light morning air blew a few wihite, scudding clouds. Some three and a half miles from the shore- there exténded right slong the coast a low sand bank, which was’ at once a source of pleasure and danger to the inhabitants and the 4sherman. When the tide flowed, the sea beat against the bank for some time, till. at last, with an angry roarn; itsurmounted the obstacle and came tearing i down-the incline like an avalanche.— Many accidents resulting in loss of life had taken place;owing to the igno--‘rance or careléssness of tourists and. others, who lulled into a state of fan- ‘ cied security by the distance of the sea, and unaware of the peculiarities | of the place, would wander about on the sand till overtaken by the tide, when they were placed, as it were in | ant instant, beyond human assistance, and were invariably lost. Danger signals and. notices had been put up in every prominént position by the authorities, who were accustomed also at the turning of the tide to fire a signal gun; but, with all that, the sands were so tempting, and the very breeze that wafted across them so delicious, that a day seldom passed without some party or other, generally mount- 1 ed, ventured upon them. As I looked down I could see nothing but a solitary speck in the distance, which I soon made out, through a little pocket-glass I always carried, to be a person on_ horseback entering aléng. 1 paid no particular attention at thé time, and continued on my way, gathering up reins as Moro bore into a trot, I was now on the very edge of the cliff, where a single false step would have precipitated me on to the sands below, and, consequently, although Moro was wonderfully sure-footed and well acquainted with the path, Imoved along with considerable caution. . The beauty of the scene and the exercises soon dispelled the gloominess that opressed me, and as my blood began to circulate more quickly, my spirits rose, and I commenced to sing right merrily.— The path now took a sudden turn by a deep grove, and as I did not wish to g 0 ‘round it, a distance of nearly a mile, I resolved toput Moro across it: S 0 patting him gently on the neck, for I never touched him with a whip or spur, I called to him, and the noble old horse understood me at once, and increased his speed. On we went, the pace getting faster and faster, till at the gorge Moro rose with a splendid bound, and alighted safely on the other side. I now had a full view of the sands again, and found that I was considerably nearer the person on hoyseback below, in faet, that we had been moving toward one another. At that moment Moro suddenly stopped and tossing his head in-the air, gave aloud neigh. Somewhat astonished at this proceeding, I looked more carefully, and perceived by-the flutter of the dress that the person on horseback was a lady. I became more interested, and taking out my glass discovered that it was no other than Bessie, who had been cantering along on the sands on a mare that her father had lately bought her. Moro had no doubt recognized herstablé companion. I debated with myself whether I should return, and by taking a short cut, meet her, on her way home, in order to upbraid her misconduct in going out alone. While I was cogitating the question, Moro uttered a snort.of alarm. I looked and beheld a sight that for a moment took away my breath. From some cause or other Bessie’s horse appeared to have taken fright and become unmanageable; all at once it tore away like the wind in the direction of the sea. At the same moment I héard the distant boom of the single gun, which. announced that‘tide was about to turn. The full horror of the situation now flushed . across me, unless the mare could be stopped in time, my love would be overtaken by!/the sea and lost before my very eyes. A cold ~chill took possession of me, and for a moment I sat motionless. Bessie’s figure began growing smaller as she was borne rapidly onward. ‘Now or never, Moro! I said aslaroseinmy stirrups; and the gallant old horse seemed to -understand me, for he impatiently pawed the air with his fove-feet. The next thing was how to get upon the sand. . ‘The gorge! Oh, the gorge!’ 1 touched Moro, and in a few seconds we reached/it. It was a frighful declivity, and the descent almost impossible; yet it,was my only chance, and I determined to make an attempt.— Carefully, and with the greatest cau-. tion, I guided Moro, and after a few moments of agonizing suspense, gairned the sands. L knew I had only one. course before me: to pursue the mare and then attempt to race the tide. ‘Moro,” I shouted, ‘Moro, ride to save my love!’ - More shook himself as if ‘he knew that the tremendous effort was demanded of him, and settled down to his work. =By this time Bes~sie was quite half the distance to the ‘sea. Would I reach herin time? In i order to lighten the weight ‘1 threw away my overcoat. - I called upon } Moro; heseemed to.fly, We were gaining upon them, but still the awful question rose to my lips. ‘Would it he time?” T could already hear the roar _and surge of the water, and the rising wind: warned me that the tide would ' that ‘gnominﬁ probably exceed its usual height. My blood was thoroughly ‘ up. I determimed either to save my lover or to perish with her. We were now about half amile apart. I gshouted until I was hoarse, but all to no. effect, for the wind 'was dead in our faces. Moro seemed to participate in -0y excitement, and strained every merve to overtake the mare, |We were not more than two hundred yards

from the sand bank, against which the waves were dashing with unwonted force. Another second and the mare would haye passed the bank, be over- | Whelmed by the raging waters, and all would be lost, I'screamed in my agony. I thought I heard a low wail in response. I shut my -eyes, as I could not bear to look, but opened them im- | mediately, as Moro gave a whinney of pleasure. ‘Ah, what is that ” the mare has stumbled 4nd thrown Bessie, and plunged widely in sy terror and fury info the waves. In an instant I was alongside my love, had dismounted and ' was kneeling by her. ‘Bessie! Bessie! ho, my darling, are you dead ? Ob, speak to me?" After a few moments, which seemed an age of torture, she opened her eyes and said faintly, ‘Jack, my best beloved, save yourself, the tide will be over the bank, in a second or two. Give my love to dear papa.’ Then, exhausted, she fell back in'a dead faint. I tore my hair in despair, T raved like a madman. What conld 1 do? Atlast I became calmer, for a desperate resolve had taken possexsion of me. Moro should have a double burden, and would try and outstrip . the tide, we would race with ‘death! I soon placed my darling across the saddle and leaped up behind her, just as the first spray came dashing over the bank. I knew not an instant was to be lost. We started fortheshore. I patted Moro, I said to him, “Moro, you bore my father through the ranks of death at Balaklava. Oh, save his son! To add to my agony, I now perceived that a storm was impending., The sky was overcast; heavy drops of ‘rain began to fall; and every now and then a lurid flasl lightened the darkning air. We were now but two miles from the shore, and if I could reach the gorge in time, I knew we were saved. Icalled again upon Moro. The noble horse for the first time uttered cries of distress. A new terror now seized me-Hwould Moro’s surength last? I turned and looked, and thro’ the blinding rain saw to my horror that the sea was already breaking over the bank. 1t would be upon us almost directly. T urged Moro afresh, ‘but the poor animal appeared to be unable to increase his speed. Boom ! boom!. ‘Ah, what is that? Thank God we have been observed, and they are hastening to our help! The signal gun! Moro, my Moro, but afew seconds longer!” We tore along, Bessie . still lay insensible in moarms. The cliffs now rose frowning before. Another hundred yards and we were saved. ~ ‘On, Moro, on! I hear the roar of the descending tide.” Onee more I turned, and, as the lightning flashed, 1 saw the raging and surging waters almost at the horse’s heels. At that moment Moro staggered. The sea was upon ug and over us. I heard a ringing in my ears. 1 gave onelast, one agonizing shriek, and remembered no more.: | e I awoke and found myself in a warm bed, surrounded by compassionate faces.. Mr. Clavering came forward. You must not excite yourself, my dear boy, he said, Bessie is well. : ' ‘And Moro ?’ I asked. ‘ls well, too,” he said. : | ~ Do you want to know whether I married Bessie or nét? If you do, go to.Morecombe bay, ask for the Hawthornes, and maybe you’ll see an old black military charger, almost blind, with two or three curley-headed little urchins on his back, all laughing and clapping their hands as he carries them daintly up and down the path. — ————— - — - THE NATHAN MURDERER APPEARS AGAIN, ' e He Turns Up in San Francisco This ' Time, and Tells His Story Like |

- a Little Man. e SAN 'FRANCISCO, August 28. — A | man named Ewing, who is in jail here, | confesses himself to be the murderer ‘of Nathan, in New York. e says | that the housekeeper’s. son got them | to do the murder at the suggestion of Washington Nathan. They determined to use chloroform. He thinks the name of his confederate is McNally. The following is the substance of his confession this evening: “The shipcarpenter’s dog was stolen from a ship-carpenter’s chest. T know where his;shop is.. We entered the house at the basement. The housekeeper’s son went in and left the latch up, so that we could get in without trouble. After we got in the cellar I heard the bell ring - nine. It seemed to me an hour or an hour:and a half we were there in the dark; it seemed long to me; perhaps it wasnotso late. When ‘the' man came down and said, ‘l've finished the old man,’ we went up stairs. He had struck the old man five or six times on the head, and when he saw he was going to fall he was afraid the fall would startle the folks, so he caught hold of him and laid him down. I've got in my house in New York some Pacific Mail stuff, some Boston, Hartford and Erie, and some other things. There’s a small memorandum ‘book; I took from the old man several pages of it, in Hebrew ; there are in it some: names—there’s Albert FEroza, Samuel Lewis Cumings, Fourteenth street, and Dr. Leo Woorty. T got between six and seven thousand dollars. The safe was open when we went up —the man and I—from the cellar. 1 stayed thére while thé man washed his hands and face. He had blood on’ them: When we left the old man’s room he stopped to look out of the door and as he did so took hold of the casings and left blood marks on them —prints of his fingers. We then concluded we would not leave the house that night.. It was opposite the Fifth Avenue Hotel. There were a good many policemen around; we were afraid we would be seen and arrested. We stayed till about six o’clock in the morning; just as we went out of the front door a man was passing on the other side of the street with a tin pail ; helooked at us. Then a girl came -along—a shop girl-—she looked around -and took particular notice of us. My - wife is in New York, and I have a L davghter fifteen years old. 1 don't - want to tell you the names of either of these men because it may not he -right.

In passing down his head struck the timbers, tearing off the scalp, and' a splinter. five or six inches in length was stuck beneath the skin of one leg. Hisright arm was cut, probably by the tools in the box which he was carrying upon his shoulder at the time of his fall.

. <SHOOTING NIAGARA. The Last Tight-Rope Lunatic—Daring - . - Drop of One Hundred Feet ifito ..+ the Gorge Below, o "+ . [From the Buffalo Courlef, 26th.] ‘ | The distance between the two banks -at the point where the rope is stretch‘ed’across is fourteen hundred feet, one ‘end of the rope being anchored directly opposite the Clifton House and thg other end in Prospect Park, abouta ‘quarter of the distance from the railway incline to the new suspension -bridge. This is the widest point of the river at which a rope could be got ~across. . The rope used by the famous Blondin was stretched further down - ‘theriver, where the banks are only eight hundred feet apart. The entire ‘length of Balleni’s rope is fifteen hundred feet. It isa three-strand manilla line, two and -a quarter inches in diameter, The banks of the river at the points where the ends are ,ancgpred are said to be about one hundred and ninety feet' high. When we first saw the rope it sagged down fully half the ~distance, but subsequently it was ‘somewhat tightened by a capstan turned by horse power at the American side. Still, however, the sag was as much as sixty or seventyfeet, and it seemed impossible that any human be‘ing could walk up or down the ineclines. At the center the rope was ballasted with sand-bags, and it was braced at either side By a great number of guy ropes. - Signor Balleni claims that his rope-is thelongest ever used by a tight ropépetformer. © e b s - Balleni stepped againupon the rope and came down the incline to the center with rapid steps—almost on a run. As he started aboat, occupied by three experienced men, pulled out from the shore to the center of the river. Arrived at- the middle of the rope the Signor stooped and. prepared for his awful jump. 'ln doing so he lost his bhalance pole, which he had intended to attach to a guy ropeiso as to slide down where it could be regained.. The pole fell'into the river and sunk. Signor Balleni unrolled & line eighteen feet long composed of thin strips of india rubber about an inch in width. One end of this line he attached to the main rope. -Holding thg other end in his hands, he allowed himself to drop bodily down, and the crowds ion the banks with bated breath saw him fall straight down full one hundred feet into the rushing flood, striking the water with a splash which could be heard above the noise and roar of the- - . As he struck he released his . hold of the rubber line which whipped - back into the air high above him. In the water the Signor found Hhimself equally at home as on the rope. Three or four strong strokes kept him above ° the flood until the boat was. alongside him, and in a; moment more he was taken in. ' Then the boat pulled to the Canada shore where the carriage and four -were in waiting. The Signor. was preperly wrapped up in blankets' ' and conveyed to his temporary residence, the spectators’ of his thrilling * exploit crowding ,about the vehicle and giving vent to a great deal of enthusiasm. ; '

i A Mile a Minute. 2+ Of the flight of a railroad train at ‘the rate of sixty miles an hour, hetween Salem and Portland, in. Oregon, an editor of the Evening News, of the latter city, says:' “Tlfe depots and towns along the road presented a ludierous appearance ;. they seemed to~ be stretched out like a piece of rubber:. The depots looked like' bricks flying throligh: the air, and telegraph poles ‘distanced Highland flings te the music of-the scréaming whistle and the snort of the iron steed. The reins of steam were loosened, and the angry engine trembled '‘as,she bounded over ‘the tinkling rails, scarcely touching them. With the speed of lightning, alinost, she passed over bridges; around curves, and over deep gorges, hurrying on with her freight-of human beings to aid a sister city in her dread affliction. .In the short space of eightythree minutes from the time of leaving the Salem depot, little Capital engine was;doing beautiful work in the city of Portland. Although the train started thrity-six minutes behind time; it arrived at its destination just . thirty minutes ahead of time. 1 - Where can such rapid speed be equalléd? Wlhiere was prompter response ever made to a call 'so many .miles away, -and so'soon answered ? But one-alone of the many passengers realized the dangers of the situation; the others would have said, “give her more steam,” if that had been their privilege. -We have been told of .a laughable incident that happened at Milwatikee. A gentleman who wished to eome down on the train was in waiting at the depot, and had stepped out’ near the platform in order to ‘ jump on board as. soon as the train "slacked up. While waiting patiently, ‘e turned his eyes up the_track fand l saw something coming. Strange ideas’ flitted ‘through his mind of death and the hereafter. Not having time to reach tall timber, he embraced a large post in the shed, and clung to it for gweet life. As the train.shot past, Tis hat ‘was carried almost fifty yards, ‘and his coat tails wére both dislacated. As soon ag he thought it was safe to ‘Joosen his hold, he made a break for “home, bare-headed, having come to the ‘eonclusion that he ‘did 't care to go Lto Portland, any way.” : v
