In Search of the Tide, Mr. Perkins laid down the news paper and briskly stirred the fire, as be casually remarked : “There was a great tide last night; the highest water known here for years. I suppose the full moon and the strong east wind we have bad for the last week account fur it.” “Mow high was it father T asked Charlie, an be buttered the fifth piece of toast Charlie was fourteen, and the other Perkins children looked up to him as the bead of the family. “Sixteen feet,” answered Mr. Per kins Hany, who was not quite seven, and who was always trying to find out things for himself, looked very thoughtfully out of the window. The cottage stood a stone’s throw from the water; and Harry could look through the open channel be tween the islands out to the wide sea that was tossing restlessly in the distance. “Father,” be asked, where aloes the tide oome from f” Mr. Perkins sipped his tea before be carelessly replied: “Ob, from a long way ont at sea.” “But where does it start trom T” still persisted Harry. “I don’t think it starts from any particular place,” said Mr. Perkius. “I should hay the surface waters run iu from all over the sea.” MBut it must start somewhere.” said Harry. Mr Perkins had not studied up the subject of tides, and feeling that his aouwers had been rather vague, did not try to say anything more.” When supper was over, the fam ily went ou the piazza which stretch ed across the front of the bouse. Mr. Perkins lighted a cigar, Mrs. Perkins brought out some pretty worsted thing she was kuittiug. Charlie walked dou n to the heacb and began skipping stones across the water, and Harry sat down on a large rock and watched the tide running op and down on the bt ach. The aun had goue down, and left a few rosy clouds trailing after him, the mountains were growjog dim in the distance, and among the islands of the bay the water lay quiet and dark. It ran np the beacti as if it meant to travel far luland, ai d then something stopped it aud drew it back with a long wash that sound ed as if all the wet stones over which it ran were slipping back with it Harry had often watched this ad vance and retreat of the tide, but it had never seemed so curious to him M now. “What sends it up the beach, aud why does it go back in atead of going on F were questions be was trying to answer. The long, low wash of water along the line ot shore as far as Harry could see grew more mid more mysterious to him ss it became darker, aud the sights began to change into sounds. The great sea beyong the island seemed to be seudhig its waves io, and then suddenly stopping them. And the murmur of the waters seem ed to be the many voices of the sea calling its wavea back again. At laat Mr. Perkins look ont bis watch aud looked at it by the light of his cigar. “Why,” he exclaimed, “it’s later than I thought; it’s after nine.” Mrs. Perkins called to Harry, who very unwillingly left the shore and went to bis room. When be bad undressed aud blown out the candle he opened the bliuds aud looked out The moon bad just risen and was sendings silvery light over the sea, and the trees ou the islands stood out dark and mo tionless. Up to the window, in the stillness of the night, came the mar- mar and splash of the rippling tide, almost at its flood. “Where does it start from f” said Harry to himself as be tell asleep. It may have been two boars—it was probably more—when Harry suddenly awoke. The moon was ahiuing into the room, and the cool S aab of the sea on the beach came at the window. “Whore does it oome from f said Harry to himself a. aiu. Then, quick as a flash, the thought earns to him to go aud see. Why notf .The sea waaonly a little way off, tbs sight was aluiest as light as day, and At the little dock below the oottage Charlie’s boat “Bailie” tied. He slipped ont of bed and ran to the window ; the tide waa falling, aud this won Id be the beet time to go sod And where it earn* tom. In five minutes Harry was dress ed, and taking his shoes in his heeds, he crept softly down stairs, npeaed the door into the piazza, end shat it again so quietly that no one heard a sound. Onoe on the ground, be sat down aud put on bis shoea, then ran swiftly down to the dock where the “Bailie” was daue- ing on the water, slipped the rope off the iron rod, and jumped into the boat " Harry had spent nc end of time io the boat, and knew more about s-iiiing than many older boys. The tide was falling fast, and the water along the shore was rough, the “Bailie” danced up and down, aud before Harry could get an oar be waa thrown over a seat in'o the bot tom of the boat, which drifted rap idly ont into the bay. It was a still night and a light mist had spread over the sky, makikg the stars dim and faint. The islands looked strange an i vague to Harry, and the sea was white aud weird. Things did not look at all as they did by daylight; everything was queer and ghostly. Not a snood came from the cottages scattered aloug the shore as the boat drifted away from them ; not a light was burning in a window anywhere ; the whole world bad gone ’o s eep except the sea, aud a strange dream had come over that. When the tide falls as far as it did in this bay it makes a good deal of commotion, and there are swift currents between the islands. In one of them the “Bailie” was caught, and swiftly carried seaward. Soon cottages and islands lay behind, growing dimmer and dimmer every minute, and the sea was close at band The water along the beach was white and foaming, and around the rocky head at the entrance of the bay the sea rushed aud roared nightly. Harry was not at all frightened ; be loved the water, and had not so much as thought that be might have trouble iu getting home again. The tide was running swift y ont, and if he followed it be would sure ly find where it came from On aud ou, out into the strange, lonely sea, the little boat drifted; once iu a while the moon would look ont for a moment between the clouds, but most of the time she was hid den by them. Sometimes the foam ou the crests of the waves would flash iu sudden points or Hues of fire; sometimes a quick gleam would show itself at a distance, and Harry would wonder if it were not the flu ot some great fish cutting the stir face of the sea. He had left tha silver watch which his father had given him ou his last birthday, banging on the head of his bed, aud so he could not tell what time it was; bathe noticed after a while that the stars began to grow paie, aud the heav ens a little less dai k. A fresh breeze bad sprung up, aud went singing over the sea; fortunately it was a light wind, and did no harm beyond making Harry a little chil ly. The boat drilled wherever the waters carried it, and they carried it straight out to aea. When the sun rose, and the morning mists bad roded themselves our of sigh , Harry saw far behind him the is land from which he had sailed, its mountains standing out green and solemn against the sky ; far ahead were ibe barren rocks trom which at night a lighthouse sent its soli tary beam over the sea. B eakfast lime came, but no breaktast, anti no sign ot any. The sun marched steadily up the steep circle of the sky, aud found it such a hard climb that be not only got very warm himself, but put every body e se into a profuse perspira tion. On Harry he fairly poured his beat until the poor little fellow’s bead buzzed aud ached, aud be lie gan to wish himself safe at home, tide or no tide. Dinner time came, bat nc d nner; and finally, after a long hot after noon, tea time, bat no tea. The boat bad floated further and forth er, but Harry had not found where the tide started from ; the further be went the wider the sea spread ont, and there was no sign of a be ginning or an end anywnere. Har ry begin to think be had passed the place where the tide started ; cer tainly, if it got out as far as this, it would lose itself aud never get any where. The sun, tired with his long day’s work, went down hot aud red, by aud by, one by one, the stars began to steal ont from the places where they had hidden away from him. Harry, tired, hungry and a little frightened, had fallen asleep in the bottom of the boa', and was dream ing of sitting down to a nice dinner when the moon came np aud found him lying there, far out to sea, when he ought to have been iu bis bed at home. CHAPTER II Oapt Peleg Waters was coming home with a goodly load of fresh mackerel; wind and tide bein^ fa vorable, be expected to maka Rock land sometime tb i next afternoon. Oapt. Peleg was rather a rough looking old feliow, bat he had the kindest heart iu the world. At the time he sailed into this story he wastakiugbis tarn at the tiller, and was enjoying about equally the beautiful moonlit night and the short pipe from which he blew oc casional puffs of tobacco smoke. “This is the purtiest night we’ve bad this trip,” be said to himself, as he looked np at the fuD moon sailing serenely through the oiouds, and at the silvery sea whispering to itself as if in a dream. Jnat then something ahead caught the captain’s eye. “Wa’al, I declare,” he exclaimed aloud, “if there ain’t a boat I What is she doing twenty miles ont to sea t” in ten miontes Capt Peleg had brought the schooner alongside the little boat, and was looking down at the small boy still fast asleep. “Wa’al, 1 vow,” said the cap'ain, “if that ain’t the littiest crew and the sleepiest that I ever saw afloat.” Capt. Pelt-g whistled to himself, as always did when puzzled; then be leaned over, and called out softly,— “Ahoy, there P Harry opened his eyes wide, and jnmped up in a second. He was a bright honest boy, and the captain knew it tbe minute he laid eves on him. “Where yon fromf” he asked, as gently as he coaid, for a voice that gets used to bawling in the teeth of all sorts of winds, isn’t very soft. “Bar Harbor,” answered Harry, promptly. Capt. Peleg’s eyes twinkled. Thin was the queerest craft be had ever fallen in with on tbe sea. “Where you bound t” he con tinued. “I want to find where the tide comes from sir,” was tbe quick re ply. Capt. Peleg whistled long and load. “What yon got in yer locker f” be said, looking quizzically at the boy. “Nothing,” said Harry, dolefully, for he knew this was tbe weak point of tbe voyage. “How long you been ont f” Harry hesitated a moment, for he was rather confnsed by the absence of dinners, teas and clocks; finally be said be had been ont a day and night. “Anything to eat!” asked Capt. Peleg. “Nothing,” answered Harry, very mournfully, tor he waa becoming very weak, aud there was a strange feeling iu his stomach. The captain whistled again. “Hi, there, Jim P he called in « very loud voice. iu a minute Jim came stumbling up from the little cabin, looking very fr nzt and sleepy. “Just yon uke this tiller,” said Capt. Peleg Jim took tbe tiller. “Now,” said the captsiu to Harry, “throw me that ro|>e.” Harry threw tbe rope, and the captain made the little (mat fast to tbe big one. Then he held ont his hand, and with one vigorous pull tbe boy was on the schooner and the little boat was floating behind. Meanwhile the captain disappear ad. When be catuo back be hand ed Harry some big slices of well- buttered bread. “Jrst stow '.bat away in your bold,” he said tu Harry. The boy needed no second invita tion, and the bread speedily disap- peared. “Now, you tarn in, and in the inoruing we’ll take our bearings,” said Capt. Peleg, as tbe last piece of bread went out of sight. Harry was thereupon slipped into the captain’s bunk and witbin a tew minutes he was fast asleep- When he awoke it was after ten tbe next morning. He found Capt. Peleg ou deck, with his short pipe iu bis mouth. There was a fresh breeze blowing, and the schooner was dashing along sending little showers ot spray right and left from her prow ‘•Moruin’. Ho|»e yon slept wellf” said Capt. Peieg, when he spied Harry. Harry thought be had never slept better. “Well, I’ve followed the sea go ing on forty five years, and my ad vice is, give op this ere voyage of yours and pot for home,” a*id the captain. His eyes twinkled, bat his face waa perfectly sober. “I’ll take you into Rockland. Then yon can telegraph to yonr friends,” Harry thought this was tbe wis est plan, and was quite willing to give op tbe matter of the tides if be could only get home. Abont three o’clock in tbe after noon the schooner came up to the dock, and Capt. Peleg wentstraigbt to tbe telegraph office, and seut the following dispatch: Rockland, Aug. 3. ’84. George Perkins, Bar Harbor, Mt. Desert, Me. Boy Harry and small boat “Sal- lie” picked up at sea. Bead direc tions. Peleg Watrks. This little sheet of paper which bore this good news filled the Per kins family with joy. They bad found the little boat gone, aud guessed what had happened, and telegraphed io every dilection with out get tiug any news of the lost boy. Mr. Perkius ran down to the r ffioe aud sent this message iu re ply: Bab Habbob, Aug. 3, ’84. Peleg Watbbs, HockUud, Me. Heartfelt th inks. Bend boy and boat by steamer to-day. Geo rob Pkrxins. Tbe next day the steamer came along tbe dock of Bar Harbor, and Harry ran off the gang plank among tbe first, and was kissed and bug ged and cried over to his heart’s content* Charles got into tbe “Bailie” an rowed home, but Harry bad bad enough of boats for the present, and preferred to walk. About a week later Capt Waters was surprised by tbe arrival of a small aud very nicely tied package. He opened it esotiously and discov ered a very substantial watch, with tbe grateful regards ot Mr George Perkins and family. Harry has not yet found ont where the tide starts from. A Court Scene. [Fron tb* Oolumbis Register.] James Heunegau was as fine a specimen of a man as could be seeu in a Day’s travel; six feet two in bis stocking feet broad in pro|K>r- tion, yet Jim, as be was generally called, did not carry a pound of surplus flesh. Kiud and gentle in bis manner, Jim bad but one serious fault (if it oau he called a fault), he would fight upon the least provocation, as tbe following in cident will illustrate. Oue moruing as Jim was proceed lug to bis place of business, he eu- oouutered oue of tho>e tall, lank, lean, hungry lookiog fellows from tbe Btate of Lexington, carrying upon his arm a basket ot eggs. 1 bad forgotten to tell you that Jim had a moet serious impedi- meat in bis speech; in fact, be was tbe worst stutterer in the county, and was most sensitive about any notice taken of it; so you may im agine Jim’s feelings when tbe lean, tall fellow addressed him tbusly: “I sasassy, mi-mi-mister, we- wa-want to”— He never finished the sentence. Jim thought that the man was mocking him; bis ire rose to 160 degrees Farenfceit in two seconds, aud that Lexiugiouiao went down. “Ta-take tb-that, you ga-ga ga loot,” bowled Jim. The Lexinctouiao, be tig one of tbe lean, hungry kiud, was lull of pluck. Up iu a minute, be aud Jim weut at it without a word, for tbe simple reasou that both being stut teriug men of tbs worst description ueitber could get a word out before a new aspect of aftairs was pres ented. But the bystanders no ticed one thing about that lean man—every few moments there issued from his lips a sound which resembled a suppressed quack of a duck, tbe sound seemingly being emitted at the end of every sentence. Well, Jim was rather getting tbe bettor ot bis man when a policeman put in an appearance, separated them and ordered them both to ap pear before His Honor the Mayor tbe following moruing. 1 do not know if any of yon ever attended Mayor’s court, and for fe.ir that you have not I will tell you something about it. This court is very informed iu some things, but mighty uniform iu others. The procedure is ratbei ou the “Go as you please” order, but tbe judge meul is just tbe reverse; “five dol lars or ten days” is almost the iu variable rule, but sometimes both sides catch it. I remem tier tie trial that took just two minutes. Au habitual druukard was up, “Well, Biggs, what’s tbe charge,” says His Honor, ’‘Straight drunk, yer Honor.” “Five dollars or ten days; sit down.” The next morning after the fight court opened as usual, and the first case ou the docket was that of Jim Heunegau and John Pike; charge, “disorderly conduct; fighting iu tbe street.” The two men were tried together and stood side by side in front of tbe Mayor’s desk. Tbe policeman stated that he saw tbe crowd, ran to the spot and found these two men fighting. His Honor knew Jim well, and tbe twinkle io his eye showed that he anticipated some fan, but being ignorant of tbe Lexingtooisn’s pe- culiarities did not exactly take it all io at onoe. “Well, Hennegan, what have yon got to say for yonrselff’ “We-well, yes-yesterday I was go-going to my w-w-ork, when 1 m-mmet that ga-ga-galoot ”— “Hold on there, Hennegan ; tell yonr tale, but no names here.” “Ga ga-loot yer-yereelf,” (quack) •tattered tbe Lexingtoaiao. If Hie Honor had been shot he would not beve jumped as he did when he beard that quack. It was similar to no sound be had ever beard issne from tbe lips of any human being, even in ali of his ex tensive travels. It certainly was an indignity pat upon bis court, which be could not and would not stand. Turning upon the poor Lcxing- touian those eyes, the very gleam of which strikes terror into the hearts of the city ordiuaoce break ers he thundered: “What do you mean, air, by mak- ing snob a noise in this court f” “No-nothing” (quack). “Well, sir, if you dare make that noise again I shall fine yon forty dollars. Go on, Heonegau*” “Tb-tbaton easssaw-says tom- ■•me, •Wa-wa want to b-b bay.’ I th-tn thoogbt he w-was a m m-tu moeking me and I h-h-bit him, and w we f f-fltand w wasa f-f-figbting, and I w-was a g-c-getting t-t-the b b-beet of him w-w-when”— “T-that aint s-s-so, h-h-bonor” (quack), shooted tbe Lexington- ian. “Hold on there,”says His Honor, “let roe straighten this thing. I know that you stutter, Heunegau ; but did you know that this man stuttered too f” “N-n no,b-by g gosb,” says Jim. “Pike, did you know Hennegan stuttered f” , “N-uo, b-by j-jingo.” says Pike, “and it li-he h-lmd s spoke to me- me first I’d a h bit him.” “Well,” says His Honor, “you were both laboring under a mis take, but mistakes do uot excuse a violation ot tbs ordinance. I shall not flue yon as heavily as I would nnder other circnmstsnoes, bat the ordinance most be enforced, and 1 fine you each five dollars or ten days.” Jim already bad a roll of bills out of bis pocket, so turning to Pike he said: 'P-p-pike, g-got any m- money I” “N no, b-by j-jinks I” “W-well. th-that’s all r-rigbt; sh-shake h bands; we w-were both wr-wrong. I w-was wrong f-flrst, and g got^ou into th-tbis s s-scrape, and b-bv g-gosh I’ll p-pay y-yon out.” And be did. PARLEY. Signal Revenge. Thirty-six years ago occurred the battle of Chillianwallab. at which tbe Knglisb ran an appallingly nar row chance of being defeated by the courageous Bikhs opposed to them. Though England did gain the day, it was only by an enormous expeii diture of brave men’s lives. A com memorating pillar is erected to their memory, in the garden of tbe Chel sea hospital. This battle, however, one of tbe jpverest ever fought by the British on the soil of India, is also note worthy because of tbe shadow of misfortune and disgrace overhang ing it. Tbe fourteenth regiment of dragoons, in tbe midst of tbe en gagemeut, sudd* nly turned iu re treat, aud nearly caused a panic iu tbe army, its commander, Captain King, oveioome by shame, after ward committed suicide. Previous to his death he repeat edly declared that he gave no order tor retreat, aud knew do reason why his troops shonld have fled. But the order was heard by many officers aud men, and the captain’s word was uot believed Public opiuion gave a verdict of cowardice against him. Tbe circumstances of tbe battle have, however, been recently reviv ed, and new evidence has oome iu, which, if true, frees both officer and men from the worst charge which can be preferred against soldiers. In tbe regiment, says this exonera ling voice, was a private who, for some reason, bore a grudge against his colonel. Though he had sought for an opportunity of taking re venge, none had presented itself But the mau was a ventriloquist; and at last bis chance came. On tbe day of the battle, at tbe critical moment, when it was infamy to lake one backward step, the ven triloquist threw his v< ice close to the colonel aud called : “Threes about P It was the signal for retreat. The regiment was a model of discipline, aud had alu ays obeyed as one mau. It did so now with fatal prompti tude, and, in the melee of the bat tlefield, its retreat was soon con verted into helter-skelter flight. The soldier bad avenged bis wrong at the expense of his comrade’s hon or, aud at tbe risk of defeat to bis country’s flag. Old Libraries. The three oldest consulting libra* ties iu tbe United States are those of Harvard, Yale and Ibe New York society. Harvard College began its career with a library which was part of tbe bequest from John Harvard, but iu 1794 a fire totally destroyed its accnmnlatiooe of 128 years. Yale College began its ocllections iu 17U0 and was aided thirty-three years la ter by tbe bequest of 1,000 volumes from Bishop Berkeley ; yet in 1864 it amounted to only 4,000 volnmes. The New York aociety’s library, now containing 80.000 vohnnes, waa founded ia 1700 bat did not Uke this name nutil 1754. Th»* fourth rldest library is tbi t in Philadelphia, fonnded by Benia min Franklin aud his friends in 1781. Tbe library has now over 130,000 volumes, and in some re spects is unsurpassed by any other colleetiou of hooka iu the country. Iu income is abont 120,000 a veer, of which a third only is available for the purchase of new hooks, yet it attempts, with much success, to do the same kind of publio service that Is socomplisbed by the Boston J nblie library, whose iuoome is 125,000. A Good Fighting Editor. The champion fighting editor of the conn try lives at Albuquerque, New Mexico. As tbe story goes, eleven citizens of the varaty known as “toughs,” came to tbe conclusion, a short time ago, that it was their duty iu the interests of law and order, aud the purity of the ballot box, to ■ake the editor out and bang him. Now, our Albnqnerpue journalist lived alone in a log cabin consist ing of a eingld room with a cellar underneath. His only companion a pet urizzly bear occupied tbe cel isr. On tbe night when the editor had good reasons, to expect a visit trom the reformers, be retired to tbe cellar and left the upper room to tbe grizzly. At tbe hoar of midnight eleven stalwart men arrived with a rope. They battered down tbe dour aud rushed in eager for the fray. They bad no light, but they rushed against their man, as they suppos ed. For so editor he showed un- nsal pluck and stn-ngth. He went for the lynchers with such activity that the fight was over iu five min utes. In the gray of early morning three men turned up iu Albuquerque, each with an eye missing Oue mau called at the doctor's office with one foot and three fingers chewed off. The remaining seven reformers were l«i«flng around on the streets more or less mutil ated. When tbe alleged facts of the fracas got out the editor became tbe most popular man iu the territory. His pa|»er is doing a booming busi ness, and he can get any office he wants He still keeps tbe grizzly in tbe cellar ready for an emergency. Pronunciation of Some English Names.
