Vtlutjch *tar. rhe Captain of the Carrot 'ft w'!s i 1815, the Biitish rigate Solebay lay at anchor in. Yarmouth Roads. A boat was pproaching ber' in the distaoce. The evhing was calm- scarcely iipple to be seen upon the bosoti f tle German Oecan. The frst ieutenant was on watch, aceoln anied I 'his acings onl the ,ui'ctor. deck by the assistant sur ~eon.6of the snip. "IDocto,'l i the lieutcniant, ob6ove that boat nearlir us. I ec by the glass it is the cutter of be gun brig Boxer. Her naster: ud bonmauder has the helm wo marines accompany hini and Aee are also six strange sailors 1 the boat,.probably prisoners of r ar."' During this short conversation o boat arrived alongside. the olebay. "Boatswain, pipe all hands on eek !" roar'ed the lieutenan t. "Aye, aye, sir," replied the su urdi nate... As the shrill whistle rang arough the lower decks, the sur eon's assistant leaned over the alwark to catch a glimpse of 2e w-estern captives. One of them, ho sutgeqjuenitly proved to be. e captain 'of the captive crew, rrested his attention. 1n stature eC was above the ordinary height, vith straig'ht black hair, sallow .!mlexionl, and an expression of auntenanice at once reflective, en and uncompromising. The hands from below, summon ld by the boatswain's call, were 1uickly on deck ; and Captain arry, the commander of the igate, stoodi by the gangway, :eady .to receive the prisoners as' hey ascended the ladder. The command-er of the Boxer ppeared first upon deck. After saluting the national flag in the .sual form, he approached the ~aptain. of the frigate. "Captain Curry," said he, " p-rr.ader7tg your charge the crew f the -merchan.tman Carrol, of he United States, captdred yes terday 'by 1e Boxer-six ordinary ~eaen and theiir captai-n." "Order t.hemn up," said Curry 'we will take care of them." All prisoners aboard from the oxer's cutter:!" shouted the boat' Swaiti's mate. Thd A ierican sailors ascended the ladder',gprecedeci. by their cap tain. As the latter placed his feet aI the quarter-deck of the Sole a, his bright h!aeck eyes en cunTterc.d those, of her comnman ter. Apparently uinconiscious of the situattieni in w hich the fortune f yvar had placed him, the Balti oe captain, with .steady gaze, tolded arms, and covered head, surveyed the post-captain. Silence aw at length broken by the lat ter. ..c - "Is it the custom in your cun try," said he to the commander of the Carrol, "to stand with cov ered head on the quarter-deck of' .yoar naval vessels, in the pres mee of yout superior officers ?" "Conditions alter customs," re plied the Baltimorean ; "and be who, in freedom, would volun .ary e -- ye the coresies migrht jusly refuse thnem wilon sougt to be -enforced, in captiMty, by a t national en)emy. f "We are not accustomned to the s language of defiance from our prisoners, and I shall place you I under arrest. Sergeant. (A ma- 8 rines. han(letiff this prisoine, and r place a sentry over himn," iefL1turn-1ed a C11rrY. excitedly. The-captive stepped forward then turning suddeiN round ai t he descended, he cast a look of a contempt at Captain Curry w!ih r ma1.de that officer flush with in dignation. Jie stood for a mo- 4 ment in mute astonishmenlt. Ae- C custonied as lie wa- to profound respect, and the strictest obedi'- s ence of all on board, the language C and the bearing of the prisoner - stung him to the quick. S "IHayeock," saidi he, addressing his filrst lieutenant, "these Yan- i kees are a singular people.. Here is a man, a pfisoner within my po% wer-without redress-aware that befoi.e to-morrow's 6unset wea may sead him to the guardship at. Sheerness, insulting us on the c quarter deck of his majest y's fri-ate. But Will pay him off beflre he leaves this ship." As the eight bells sounded in the d110,11ig, d hoat.swain' "sim- s mons to swab the deck of the frigate was heard between the e lower decks, and the seamen of s the Carrol :were commanded to t join in the labor.- One of th.em re fusing. to work, was struck by d the master's mate. The blow ri given wns as quickly returned. .!The Amercan sailor was piced s in irons. The bustle consequent ( on this scene awakened the Brit ish captaim, who quic.kly gained t the upper deck, and -sternly de manded the cause of the disturb- t ance. In-formation having been been given him-, he replied: "Call up the Yankee sailors, d with their captain.". The Americans obeyed tile call, t and stood with folded arme before 3 thte commander of the Soiebay..i "'Are you willing to do ship duty ? said Curry sternly. d "No !" said the spokesman of the party.t The blood for a moment deserted r therhleeks ot the officer. After a e short pause lhe rejoired :1 "Will you take the advice of d your captain ?" r "We will," was the response. r Curryv turned to the American 1< captain and said : "You hear I what your men sy Itiin your t power to save them from they lash. The responsibility rests on a you, should the advice you give 5 be adverse to my command." ."Am I, a prisoner like them selves, at liberty to give them e such advice as .is consistent with t. my own feelings?" said the Ameri can. . "You are," was the reply.. Tile captain then said, turning c to his seamen : "I advise you to (10 nothing degrading to your. 3 selves or disgraceful to your coun- t try."c "Trfhis mere quibble of words e conveys no answer to my ques- a tion," said the commander of the r frigate. "D)o you advise your men i to obey my orders ?"s "If' those orders are consistent with national observances I do not otherwise," was the answer. c "W-ill you order them to swab c the deck of his majesty's frigate Solebay ?" continued Curry. t "I shall not !" replied the A meri- s can. "You refuse then to save your countrymen from tile punish ment of disobedience ?" . c ''Better punishment than dis. r grace!" was the answer. - "-1 shall handy no mnore wor'ds with you," said Cuirry, fier-cely. "Boatswain's mate, bring the sailor undeir arrest upon the deck, e and lash him to the grating." I The ordered was obeyed and It the seaman secured. 'phe man looked wildly ar-ound him ; then, turning to Cur-ry, ejaculated-"My country wvill avenge me 1" I F~orgetful of' their position, the comrades of the victim rushed forward to save him, but wer-e quickly overpo wered. The heavy atrn of the boatswain's mate sus pended the lash in air r-eady to Ol thea bar-ed back of the SiniJoned seaman, w hen the cap ain of the mercbanI man stepped rvand, and, arrestiwg it fiall, aid: "Captain Curry, these men are risoners of war. Treat thom ns uch-guard them with the ut :ost vigilalce ; but resort not to n act unheard of in civilized war are, for the gratification of ie 'enge. As at) A me ican, I enter he solemn* protest of my country ainst the exe:-ution of your ty anmival order." "1 have no time for trifling," aid Curry. "Boatswain's mate, o your duty !" A pause, and the heavy lash de cended on ite victim. The m1us les quivered beneath the stroko. 'he' brawny arm of the boat wain's mate was again raised, vben the-cry was heard, "The ad iral's barge alongside !" Punishment was suspended, the ards manned, and Vice Admiral lurray (the admiral of the port) scended the quarter deck. The uick eye of the port admiral at neu rested an the manacled sea r an. "What have we herel" said he, s his eye glanced from the sea ,aal to Curry. "Captain, as your uperior officer and admiral of the ort, courtesy of a gentleman, qually with our naval discipline, hould have taught you to report he cause for this infliction to me. qoW, sir, why has this extraor inary punishment been visited 11 a prisoner of .war ?" :l"He refused to do duty, and truck . the master's mate," said urry. "Had he provocation ?" con inued the admiral. "He gave the first blow," said he bound sailor. The captaiti of the Carrol step ed forward, and respectfully ad ressing Admiral Murray, said : Sir, the man speaks truly, I saw he blow given and returned. our captain, has also placed me airons, and I have given no low, nor been asked to do ship's u tv." "Liberate the p)roner," said he admiral. "Peace has been roclaimed." Then facing the rest-fallen Cap)tainl of the frigate, e proceeded: "You, .sir, have isobeyed orders, set aside the ules of the navy, and violated the ights of humanity. You are no gcr commander of the Solebay. suspend you until a court mar ia1 shall confirm my opinion of our conduct. You are under rrest, sir. Lieutenant Haycock, ou wvill take charge of the ship ntil further orders." It was in. vain the disgraced aptain endeavared to explain his yrannical conduct. To all his rotestations the admiral replied : Ydn have disgra~ced the flag, sir." Captain Curry retired to his abin completely crest fallen. "I rejoice, sir," said Admiral urray, turning to the ca.ptain of he Carrol, "that the ratification f .peace between our respective ountries allows me to return you nd your companions to your ative land; If I can serve you any way during your necessary tay at Yarmouth, it will gratify "In my country's name and my wn I thank you," said the Ameri The adinir2l extended his hand o.himi anzd said : "1 trust wVe hal never again meet as ene 'ies." "As personal enemies we can ever meet," returnedl the captain f the Carrol; "and may the sun ievr rise which shall shine upon S a national ones." The Amerrican seamen descend 4 into the jolly boat and, after auting the British flag and ;iving 1,inle hearty cheers for the ,diral, pushed off for Yarmouth., hence they soon proceeded to e United States.

'La! mcn! you don't say!' came fron the girlish lips so devastating to his heart and pocket-book particularly in ice cream Lime. 'I love nature,' he continued sadly, remorselessly bitingas much of his frail mustache as could be reached. 'Why, Fred ! what a naughty boy you arc, and I won't like you a bit, anymore, so I won't. Here you'x e been telling me all the time that you loved me, and no. body else. I'm real mad, so I am, and you needn't come round here any more. If you can't give me all youi love I don't want auy. I shall pine away and look horrid, I suppose, but I won't be made a fool of it it kills me. And my wedding dross is such a beau ty, too, and fits perfectly splendid. I declare it's too bad ! why didn't you tell me this before we were engaged, and the day set ?' and the tiny lip shook in tremor as the curly head tried to find an easy place on the points of the palings. 'Why, Susie ! what can you mean? what have I said to make you feel bad ?' 'You said. you loved somebody else, so you did.' 'Why, no, pussy ; what a silly (gooJe you are. I said I loved nature-but not the same as I do you. Her I love with awe and -well, all that sort o' thing, you know, but you-pshaw ! I've told you lot's of 'tiies I never could tell you all about it if I shouid live two hundred years." 'But who is she, Fred? Your landlady ?' 'Who, Susie ?' 'The-the one you like so, and are still kind 'o 'fraid of?' 'Dear mue, what a little tease you are ! I said I loved nature.' 'Yes, that's the name-but who is she ? Is she young ?' 'Gracious, no ! Thousands of years old. Nature is what makes the grass grow, and the flowers bloom, and the-hang it all, pus sy, you know what I mean.' 'Why, yes to be sure. Is that all you meant, Fred ? How stu pid I was ! 1'm so glad, though, we can go on being happy, same as ever, and my dress won't be thrown away after all,' and the girlish face rippled with smiles, and soft hand nestled again upon Frcd's; arm. 'I1 would have been a poet, Susie, but nobody would ever print any of my pieces. When a person loves nature it is a sure sign they bave genius. A love for trees, flowers, and other things that grow makes us better and wiser, and should be culti vated.' 'Well, I just more than like spring onions,' broke in Susie ; 'I never can get enough of them. Does that count for anything, Fred ?' 'Hum. Yes, it indicates candor. But I say, Susie, when we get married, and my grandmother dies and leaves her money all to me, we'll buy a nice little cottage down the river somewhere, on a sraggy clift, where the scenery is wild, far away from.the noise and dirt of the city, where we can dream and muse, and wander hand in hand, through the cool and silent groves, with nothing to disturb our dream of bliss ex cept may be a steamboat whistle now and then.' 'Will the street-cars run by the house, Fred ?' 'Nonsense ! why, . no, certainly! not. We shall want to get as far from them as possible.' 'Won't the milk carts, and the fish-peddlers, and the scissor grin ders, and the hand-organ people, and the girl for cold vittles, and the clothes-wringer man, and the woman n ith dr-essmaking charts, and strawberry wagons, and the directory canvasser come to the house, either, Fred ?' 'No, pussy, we'll get so far awa none of them can ever dis turb u1s.' repli ed t h yot: t h i tI ey es full of joyous anticipation. 'A nd won't the proeessions pass the house on St. Patrick's Day ami the Fourth of .ilv?' 11, ha! %ow absurd ! of course not, Susie.' 'ell, then,' said SusiQ, with an impatient stamIp1) of her foot. that ciacked a brick. -1 won't go a step toward your old musty cot tage. I couldn't. stand it there a week. I'd get so lonesome I'd die, sure, zind no body would want to go to a funeral in thit ont-of'-the-way place. You can yearn for the picturesque as much as you want to, but you'il have to promise to live in town where a body can see something and be handy to market, or I won't mar ry you.' [Cincinnati Breakfast Table. WANTED. ORE 'OINT11ENT.' A Washington correspondent tells this anecdote: In the year 187- an official from the regions of Puget Sound came to the capi tal to transact some important business with one of the executive departments. It was his first visit to the seat of government of his country, and it was evident, from his dress and manner, that he 'Was infinitely more at home on the frontier, atti'red in buckskin. and sleeping with the blue canopy of heaven for a covering, and liv ing, on his round of official duty, on the products of his rifle. The amenities and comforts. of civiliza tion were new to him'; but, with genuine American self-assertion. he purchased an "outfit" of broad cloth, mainly a "swallow-tail" on the "slope," and traveled in Pull. man cars over the mountains and across the plains and prairies to the capital. Arriving here, be sought out the best hotel, and put up there. At dinner that day, after astounding the waiters by his extraordinary gastronomic capacity, having tasted of every dish on the menu, the Puget Sounder touched bottom on the dessert. Amongst other things there were apple dumplings, with :a sauce of sugar and i>utter, and a strong. infusion of cognac, a com bination of ingredients not objec tionable to the frontier official. The steward, in doling out his dumplings, assigned to each a be comning ration of sauce. The Puget Sounder, by a partiality for sauce, caused it to fail in its dis tribution to dumpling, so thait the supply of the former was pre maturely exhausted, leaving but a leathery mass of bare dumpling. The frontier official, in his time, had swallowed worse things than Washington hotel dumplings ; but after nibbling around the doughy mass and' selecting from beneath the covering all the apple he could serape out, the waiter, no ticing the situation, -stepped up and inquired: "Governor, will you have some more dumpling ?" The official, first looking at the waiter to see if he was in earnest, and then at his plateful of exca vated dumplings, replied, "No, thank ye ; but, if it's all the same to you, I'll take a leetle more of that i-intemnent." A SHARP VoIcE.-YOu often ear the remark made by some aggrieved person 'I did not so much mind the words themselves as the tone in which they were spoken.' And it is true tbat a harsh voice is aggressive in itself. A sharp tone soon becomes habitual. One must start in youth and be ou the watch night and day, at work and play, to get and keep a voice that shall speak at all times the thoughts of a kind heart. It is in youth that a harsh voice is formed-a voice that conveys ill will rather than utters it. Some pcole have a sharp home voice for use, and keep their best voices for those they meet else where, just as they would save their best cake and pies for guests, and all their sour food for their own board. I would say to you 'Use your guest voice-at home. Watch it day by day, for it is a pearl of great price.'
