AMONG THE BREAKERS.

At a pleanant family reunion to New York the son# euu) (hufght#rs of an old coromodorv of the navy were assembled at the house of a well known citizen to csetebrate a domestic anniversary.

The table had been clearefl, cigars lighted, and the veteran, being urged by the young ladle* to spin them a sea yarn, related the following story:

It occurred, lie wild, soon after I entered the service, now more than forty yean* ago. We were just about to leave Hampton Koads on a cruise, when the captain's gig dashed alongside, and with the old skipper came a alight, girlinh, fair haired boy, apparently a mere tfbild, but dressed in the uniform at that time worn by the midshipmen of our navy.

The little fellow had been sent to sea to learn an honorable profession, because his father, since his bankruptcy, could not educate hia *»n at home in a manner becoming hi* former station. He stood uncertain for a whlte-'on the quarter deck, alone, neglected, aba*bed, nntil the captain, nuddciily recollwting himself, turned round and introducing him to us ended by committing 1 lairy Broughton, as I shall call him, to my overnight, aa the oldest midshipman on btwird.

We were soon on intimate term*, and he was »o frank, generous and winning in hia manners that you could not, for the life of yon, escape loving the little fellow. Even the rnggwl old tata would do anything to pleaa« him, and the severity of the flr*t lieutenant himself often relaxed itself when little Harry, na we all called him, had offended againat aome paltry rule of discipline. Always the first to turn out in a gale, never to tw» found akulking like some of the other youngsters from hia watch, and at all timea eager to volnntwr on any extra duty, he gradually wound himself |r|0 the heart* oif every one on lxwrnl, from the landlubber# in the waiat to the captain In hia after cabin. If we went on shore Harry waa anre to be one of our company, for he Wa« aueh a favorite with atrangera on account of hia youth and beanty that we were ahvaya lietter vreleoraed if he was along.

We hail been otit nearly three years, cruising on the Pocllk xtation, when we were onleml home, and right glatl we alt were to hear the now*. The long, beautiful moonlight* came and went like the tounl «»f muaie, ami a hundred gallant fellowadauped away the evening watehea to the lively notes of the violin.

We reached tlw Philippine lalanda, pasaed the xtrnita and at laait euteml the liay of liengai. We were all h«»artily tired of clone confinement on ahipboai*!, and re•olvml to run up the bay n»"' vb»lt a few of the chief atationa on the eoaat. It waa a glorioua day when we first caught alght of Madraa, wiUi theaunlight playing full on ita wall* and mlnareta, the long, low beach of white «and crowned with the walla of ilws fort aljove, anl a tremendous Burf rolling and thundering in almul. Rvwy heart beat high with pleasure, and It waa not a difficult matter to obtain per* miaaion to laud, A party of officer*, among whom w*ere Harry and myaelf, reaolved tomake an excursion into the town. 1 should have mentloneil that there is no port for vt«»el« within twenty mi lea of S4 George'a fort, and aa ot»r frigate would be compelled to atretch out ami In until our return we had but little time for our adventure.

paused a moment with their white crest* combing before they descended and then hurled their mate of water down into the obyw* below with the noieeof a mighty cataract.

Hitherto, all had been camtoae on hoard, and jest* had been flying nleotifi but every man now felt that a criaia waa at band, and accordingly the deep prevailed, broken only by the noiae of the ta*« and the quick orders of the lieutenant. "Larboard!" ahouted Tiller, waving hia hand, "larboard a little more!" and riding on an enannooa wave we ware whirled into the heart of the aurf, with two gigantic billowa madly pursuing us on our quarter. For a moment we thought the crisis passed, but all at once the wave aeemed to ioae Its Impetua, and gliding from befteatib na broached ns almost broadside to, while the foremoatof our purauca* daahed against na and heeled na nearly over into the abyaa. We were toeing all command of the boat, when suddenly a voice from our colleague outside of the aurf exclaimed: "Look out, there'a a shark on your quarter f" At the name instant Tiller, perceiving our danger, thundered, "Larboard, hard—ease off there, larboard harder, for •God'a aake, down!" but the poor coxswain, startled by the ill timed warning from the other boat, and conscious of the terrible situation in which we were, lost for a moment all command of hia faculties, and before ho could regain them sufOciently to obey the command of his officer a wave struck ua full on our broadside, and In another instant, with a wild cry of horror, we found ourselves straggling in the surf.

When I rose to the surface I struck out boldly, but I shall never forget the sight that met my eyes. Hie boat was already broken in pieces and the fragments tossing about, while the crew were struggling here and there in the breakers. A poor fellow waa just ahead of me, buffeting with the waves, his agonized look fixed on a huge shark that lay eyeing him just without the surf. He screamed for succor, but it was In vain. The current was gradually sweepv Ing him nearer to his terrible enemy. The other boat ventured as near as It could, but it would have been madness to approach neater. Suddenly he gave a quick, shrill shriek, flung his arms upward and sank. The next instant the blood red hue of the surface told the fearful cause.

Am tor myself, I struck desperately for the shore, and being a good swimmer as long as I could command my faculties I knew I had some chance of reaching land. I had turned in order to escape the current and find a place where the surf rolled in less frightfully, when I heard a faint cry, and saw little Harry struggling not two fathoms off. Ho seemed almost exhausted, and was barely able to keep his head above water. "For the love of heaven," he cried, "Prank —here!" But as I swam towards him the noble boy exclaimed: "Not Save yourself —I'm nearly gone—am getting weak—tell mother and Fanny I tiled thinking of them/' "Courage!" I shouted "I'll be there in a minute—hold on, my brave lad!" and I strained every nerve to reach him, but the current was so powerful that It baffled my efforts. Qne while the surf would sweep us far apart, and again dash us almost together. I saw, however, that I gradually neaml the gallant little fellow.

The crew of the boat outside bent to their oars, determined at all risks to secure u«, when suddenly there was a cry, "The shark 1 the shark!" And the huge monster snot along not twenty yards off between us and our only hope, the boat. My brain reeled as I looked. The boat was rapidly approaching, but the surf was too wild to suffer It to come near to where we were, and between us the frightful monster was sailing to and fro, waiting for the tide to sweep us out. "I'm going, Frank I can't stand it any longer. Oh, my poor mother and sister! Got?forgive me my sins," faintly said the boy. "Hold on a minute, for heaven's sake!" I cried, for I was already within a yard or two of him. "Hold on!" thundered the lientenant from the boat "we'll be there if we die for it—give way, lads, for r. life, hurrah!"

Hut poor little Harry had held on until nature was completely worn out, and casting a wild look on all around he faintly ejaculated, "My mother, sister—ol», my God!" and then, with a convulsive jerk of his arms, sank like lead Into the waters. The next moment I would have been by his side. "Give way! Givewayl Give way!" roared the lieutenant, wildly, as he waved on hia men. "For God's sake, cope on quick!" I ahouted as I dived.

But alas! my search twi tmsncaessful, and when I rose to the surface 1 was far away from the spot where Harry had disappeared and Hearing with frightful rapidity the shark tm the edge of the surf. The boat was yet too distant to promise any effective aid, I shall never forget the emotions of that instant. A sickening sensation come over me my brain reeled, my joint* grew weak and my arms seemed to refuse their duty. The monster was now nearly at my aide. I cxmld see his great fins appearing and disappearing, and almost feel the lashing of his huge tail as it beat against the waters. I gave up all my hopes of this world and all I loved, and shut my eyw upon my terrible enemy as I breathed a silent prayer for mercy to God. A moment that seemed years ensued—a moment of torture mote horrible than any lever had eonccived—when a loud, Aharp pry rang out just behind me, and at the same instant a coil of rope fell beside me as a voice called out in broke® English* "Hold on!"

Clutching the cord mechanically, I felt mywlf drawn rapidly in among the breakers, while the enormous monster, pea-eel vin£ he was going to be disappointed of his prey, strnek the waves wildly with hia tail, and dashed like lightning after me. "In with him, hand owr hand!" shouted a vok«s and I felt myself jerked into one of the boats common on the coast. At the Muue instant a thundering cheer rang fK»m the crew outside the anrt Forgetful of everything but my wonderful preservation 1 fell my kuffss and thanked God IwasaBva, W0

When I looked apitC sAw .nre wet* riding in upon the surf and the shark had sheeted wit to «ml We wete soon landed, and I then learned the manner of my deliverance. Having been seen, a boat had put to oar rescue, and had aliwady take® up several of our crew, when they discovered me straggling again** the current. Had I not been engaged In endeavoring to aav« {*x»r Harry I would have noticed their approach sooner. Aa il fawt «f mm ctew wvfe lowfc.

ROPING TEXAS STEERS.

A REMARKABLE CONTEST AT A COUNTY PAIR IN THE SOUTH.

Vartotti Aatstals Turned Low* for the Mm and Ponies to Tnssls With—Peculiar Sagacity of the Uttls Ponies,

XCea Who Have to Be Quick, One of the most Interesting things I saw while I waa in Texas was a roping contest at the Ctmcho county fair. The winner of the first prise—a beautiful cowboy saddle —was to be the contestant who should rope and tie down a steer in the shortest time. The second prize was a gorgeous gold and silver trimmed sombrero, and was to be won by the contestant making second best time.

It hi the intention to run up as dene alongside or behind the steer as possible, and, while going about hia own gait, throw the rope over his horns then by following along with the rope slack it may be gotten dear under him as he runs then by taking a tarn around the pommel it is secured, the pony suddenly stopped, braced with all his strength, and the steer is thrown clean heels over head literally. By a dexterous jerk and good management a steer may be thrown whan the rope has caught but one horn, but it will usually slip off.

If, when he has been roped and the rope made fast to the pommel, a steer suddenly bolts sideways, he is very apt to pull horse and rider over—especially if he be big and the pony little. When the stoer has been thrown all right the rider jumps off and runs to tie him, leaving the pony to hold him by keeping the line from the pommel to his horns taut. And this was to me the prettiest picture in the whole panorama. The sagacious little pony standing with his nose to the fallen adversary, straining at the line, and watching the steer with bright, knowing eyes. He realizes that he's in a bad fix if the steer gets up, and he hasn't the least intention of letting him do so.

In the first place, all the wild and vicious steers that can be found on the ranges and ranches about are gathered up and brought, fighting, bellowing and protesting, to the fair grounds and put in a pen them

HOW THE BTEKR IS ROPED.

When the fair commences the steer is haled about with sticks, clubs, yells and whoops, until perfectly maddened, when the outer bars are suddenly withdrawn and be leaps out into the opening. The contestant whose turn it is is stationed close to one side, and is after him like a shot.

The first steer was a big, lean, sorrel colored one, with horns about four feet across at the points, and that ran like a deer. The cowboy was a fine, handsome, keen looking fellow, and his pony one of the best cow ponies in the country, a little white fellow, bearing the favorite nazne of Possum, with big, bright, black eyes, as quick as a cat, a "regular trump." They got a fair start with the steer, the throw was made successfully, and then came the moment of suspense, when the pony was straining every nerve to keep with the steer, whjle the rider watched each turn to catch and throw him by an endwise jerk. This he succeeded In doing, then leaped from the saddle to "tie him down," leaving Possum to hold him. He had but tguched the ground when the steer made a sudden convulsive effort and rose to his feet. But Possum's eye was on him he instantly ran backward and jerked him fiat. By this time the cowboy reached the steer, jumped on him and tied his feet and the business was completed.

Now recommenced the yelling and whooping, and a big white steer tears into the pen and is half across the liars before he can be beaten back. He finally bursts through the bars before they can be taken down. This time it is the deputy sheriff that afterward had the scrimmage with the Mexicans at Knickerbocker, mounted on a little claybank with silvery mane and tail— Capt. Scott, and a captain he proves himself. jjy

A SAGACIOUS POKY.

He quickly overhauls the steer, the throw is made, the rope secured, and then the big brute bolts sideways liko lightning, and horse and rider go over in horrible confusion.

Hurrah for the captain! He's up and off I It's he and the steer for it. And now there were screams and roars of laughter and shouts of admiration as the plucky little fellow dodged and tacked and jerked the Ug animal about till attendants could come up and cut the rope and drive him into the outer regions.

Here comes the next candidate for the rope. This time the roper is a handsome boy of 31 or 88, whose father owns a big ranch, of which the young man is manager. Off they go, the fiery little pony fairly flying over the ground The steer is roped, thrown—not without a struggle—and has only to be tied to complete the job. But the moment he feel the young fellow's weight upon him he rises like a shot. Everybody ia®broathless—we hardly know whether to laugh or be terrified.

But the pony doesn't debate. He promptly hauls the would be "ridin' hoea" down with a backward plunge, and keeps dragging him a little as he struggles to rise, until bis master has him safely tied and all with such little snorts, such tosslngs of his pretty head, and kicking* out of the little slim heels, such sharp neighs and flirtings of his tail as wefe for all the world like articulate speech.

This was the very cutest pony of all, and when his master got on him after tying down his steer he went off fairly dancing and swelling with pride and high spirits.

TOR PRIZE WINWSIt

After this there wipe one or two failures, one horse failing in a prairie dog hole and one man missing the throw It had taken him long to get close enough to make. And now came an unusually wild, ugly ateer, and the funniest kind of a pair to nut after htm and catch him. The pony waa a little, ratty roan, and the man big, heavy and awkwanlt looking. Everybody laughed when they sailed la close on the heels at the vamoosing, buckskin colored steer. But that little beetle bug of a pony just caught up with the great long legged cxeature, the big, dumsy looking man thiwK' his rope like a streak of Inebriated lightning ovw his bona, threw Mai endwise till I looked to bear his neck end, then happed otttof the saddle liken little diens boy and U«d him with newtaeaa and

SCROFULA.

[One of the most dangerous and unpleasant evidences of the existence of hereditary scrofula is glandular swellings and painful ulcers which accompany it and render life a burden to the sufferer and to those about him. Sore eyes, scabs on the head, pimples on the face, salt rheum, and the like, are all caused by impure blood. There is but one way to banish these offensive symptoms, and that Is by the use of tried and trusted remedies to strike at the root of the trouble.
