Ii w?s In llie month ol February, 1881, (i bright moonlight night and intensely Cold that the brig 1 commanded lay at Iter anchor inside of Sandy Hook. We had a hard limn of it, beating a I [ out eleven days <>H the coast, and the { now ami sleet falling for the met of the lime. Forward, the vessel was thickly , 'overed with ice, and it was hard work to i landlo her, as the rigging ami sails were it ill, and yielded only when the strength ?f the men was exerted to the utmost.? When tit length, we made the port, all lands were worn down and exhausted ; ve could not have held out but two days onger without relief. 'A hitler cold night, Mr. Larkin,' said to my male, as I tarried a moment on leek o iinish my cigarThe worthy down easier buttoned his oat more tightly around him,looking up o the moon and (olt his red nose before I 10 rep-ied. 'It's a whistler, captain, as we used to ay on tlio liennehec. Nothing lives ! omfoitahle out of blankets in such a light as this.' 'The tine is running out swift and iroiig ? it will be well to keep a shaip ook-out for the ll"aiing ice. Mr. Laikin.' i 'Ave, ave, sir," responded tlio mate ; ? old I went below. T?o hours afi'*r, I was aroused from a ound slumber by the vigilant officer. 'Kxcuse me for disturbing you. Cant sin.' Hiil lie, hs he detect I'll an Expression ul ex tit i<>n on my face, 'but, I wish you k'ould lurr. out iind come on deck hs soon ,8 possible.' 'Why?what's the matter, Mr. Larkin?' 'Why sir, I have been watching a Cake f ice that swept by at a little distance ? w moinents ago; I saw something black ipon i'?something that 1 thought tnov d. The moon's under a cb>;id, and I ' ould not see distinctly, but I do believe here's a child out hi sea this freezing j uglit on that cake of iie. We were on deck before cither spoke nother word.

When he lull light fo ! at last upon the water uili a brilliancy only known to our Norhern lallitudes, I put my gla-^i to my eye. 1 )ne glance was enough. Forwanr, IIn-re !' I shouted at the top if my voice, and with a bound I reached be main batch and began to clear the j hip's yawl, Mr. Larkin had received the glass frotn iiy Iihik), and took n look for himself. 'My God I' he said in a whisper, a? In- | el lo nod lit sid tit A in iTAlliinr mil it.o >oal?'My Ood I there Hre lv\o children >n litHt cako of ice !' Two men answered my call, and walk- ' d lazily aft. In an incredibly short ! pace of time wo launched the cutter, in- , o which Mr. Larkiit and niV'olf jumped ? followed by two men who took the Mr*. I rig/ed the tiller, and the mate at l>eside the s?ieru sheet. 'Do you soo that cake of ice with somfelling black upon it lad*!' 1 eticj * 'put tie along t,ii|o v.f tb,at I'll give you a lotlle oj rum each to jiiglil, and a Month's extra wages when you are paid iff.' The men bent to their oars, but time trokes were uneven and feeble. Tliev | * ere used up by the proceeding duty of he last fortnight, and though they did heir hesl the boat made but little more lixn ;Iim tide. This was a long chase, ind Mr. L., w ho was suffering as he saw towr little we gained, cried out : l'ull A Is?I'll double I lie Cap'ft n's >iize?two holies of rum and two uonth's pay. l'ull lads, for tire love of rod!' A convulsive effort o." llio oars told .. - ? low willing the men were 10 otiev, nut lie strength of their strong nrins were j.-KC. Mr. Mr I. trkin sprang and ueiz I id the <leftcrls<l onr '!/? down in the bottom of the boat,' aid ho to lite in <11, 'and, Captain, the ilher oar ; we hoist row fur ourselves.' I look the second mar'a place?bar tin had stripped it*hisfiucrnsev shirt; ? is he pulled the Mem oar, I waited for he signal stroke. It came gentle hut inn, and the next moment *? were pull tig along, steady, the stroke gradually in reusing in rapidity until the wood seem d to smuts" in the oar b>? k*. We kept line eacli, hy llie breathing of ihj other, iuch a pull ! Wo lieutforwai.il until our aies touched our kt.ee*. and throwing ill our strength into tlie backward movetieo', until rvorj inch gained. At every troke the boat shot ahead like an arrow hachaiged from a how. Thus we work ?d the oars tor fllteen minutes?it seemed ;o tne as many liours. The s veal rolled iff in great iltops, and I was enveloped 11 a steam Crom my own body. 'Are we slim."I_cis3 jt, Mr. Larkinf' I ^rapsed out. 'Alinnst Captain?don't givo up ; for 1 he love of our dear ones at home?dont | give tip, Captain.' The oars flashed as the blades turned lip to the moonlight The men who plied them weie fathers, and had childrer., the strength which nerved them a., that moment wa? more than human Suddenly Mr. Larki* stopped pulling and my heart for a moment almuii coasid beating j for tlic terrible though*, that be had yivei out Hashed across mv mind- Hut I wa quickly re assured bv his voice; 'Gently, Captain, gently?a stroke o two more?there, that will do,' and Lar kin sprat g from the boat with his heavy fe. t upon the ice. I started, and calling to the men to make the boat fast to tin ice, followed. We ran to the dark spot on the centrt of the mass, and we found two little hoyi ?the head of the smaller nestling in tlx bosom of the larger. JJotli were fast as leen ! The letha/gy which .vould hav< been fatal but for tlie timely rescue, liar overcome them. Mr. Larkin grasped oik of the lads, cut off one of his shoes tort off his jacket, aijd then loosing his owi gaimonls to the skin, he placed the chill ed child in contact with his own warn: body, carefully wrapping over him, hit greatcoat, which he produced from tlx boat. I did the Siitne witlt4lie other child and when we returned to the host, tlx men patlially recovered, polled slowly back. The children, as we learned, when wo subsequently but the delight of restoring I In-ill t?i their parents, were play in jjf on the ice, and had ventured on the eakr which had got jammed in the bend ul the river ten miles from New York. A m ovement of title set the ice in motion, anil the little fellows were borne hwhv on that cold night,ami would inevitably have |ii-i idied, but for Mr. Lai kin's see ng them as tlo-y were sweeping out to sea. How do you feel }' I said to the mate, the next morning af.er the adventure. A litl'e ilill in the arms, Captain,' tin noble fellow replied, while the big tear.of grateful Irippiiiiui* gushed from bis eyes; 'a little slift in the arms, Captain, but vei v easy here,' and lie laid bis hand upon bis heart.

Married Politeness. There is much of trutl> as wail as c.| that kind of philosophy which cornea into every day requisition, helping tc strengthen and brighten the lies of social all'ection, in tiro subjoined brief article taken from the 'Ladiei* Enterprise.' Will you," asked a pleasant voice. And the husband answered, 'Yes, my dear, with pleasure.' It w is quietly, but hugrlily said ; thr tone, the.m-inn -r the I.e'V, were perfectly natural ami very affectionate. Wo thought, bow pleasant that courteous reply, how gratifying it must be to tbe wife M my husband's of ten year's experience are realv enough with the common cour les i-s of pobtr ness to the young ladies ol their acquaintance, \\ hilo tl*ey speak with abruptness to the wife, and do many little rude tilings without considering them worth an apology. The stranger, whom they may have teen but yesterdav, is listened to with deference, and althogli the toihj cl a;ay not be of ll;e upist pleasant nature, with a ready smile; while tin poor wito, t: she relnes a domestic grievance, is snubbed, or listened to with illy concealed impatience. Ob! how wrong this is?all w ron2l>oes she urge some request? "O don't both* r me!" cries ber gracious lor<l and master. Does she a-k for necessary funds for "Susie's shoes or Tommy's liati' ?"Seems to me you are always wanting money' is tbo handsome retort. Is agy little extra Jetnaudcii by bis masculim appetite, it is ordered, not requested. 'Look liere, I want yon to do so an< so; just seo that it's done;' and off inaj cbes Mr Ibior, with a Low of gentleman ly polish and friendly sweetness for fcvery casual MCipinintaiico be may choose t< recognize. When we meet with such thoughtless ness and coarseness, our thoughts rever to tlie kind voice and gentle manner V the frieud who said, 'Ves, my dear, will pleasure.' '1 beg your pardon,' cornes ai rapidly to his lips when by a little swk wardness he has disconcerted ber, as i would in the presence of the most fash ionahlo stickler for etiquette. This is because he is a thorough gentle man, who think* his wife in all things en tilled to precedence, lie loves her best why should he hesitate to show it; not it sickly, bainllin attention, but in pre ftrring her pleasure, and honoring liei in public as well as in private. Ill kn.ovs her; why should lie hesitate tf attest it? 'And her husband, he praisetl lie*,' saith Holy Writ; not by fulsome ad illation, not by pushing her charms inti notice, but by speaking, as opportunity Occurs, in a manly way, of her features Though words may seem little things and a slight attention seem almost value law. , ... -I- 1 : ? 1 -L .* y I? ii | ii >11 II, I lit* V KM flame bright especially if tl?*?y are natural The children prow up in heller moral at mosphereft, ami learn lo respect their p? rents, as they see them respecting eacl other.

The stars mkI stripes were streaming from lite ram > ; parts of that Fort, which two hours he t fore had been pronounced impregnable 5 by the Mexicans, and which was studdied with cannon, bristled with bayonets, and } : manned with an army of twenty thou| sand disciplined troops. Valencia's migli, ty host, the flower of the army, had been 5 | routed with terrible slaughter, and were , Hving from the field in all directions.? I Scarce had the shouts of the victors teas , ed teverberallng among thos 1 rugged hills, ; j before the booming of Worth's cannon , 1 and rattle of l w iggs' muskets fell upon j I the ear, telling us in tones of thunder that , another battle was to be fought, another , victory 'ost or won, before the already w$r worn and wearied victors could rest from their toils The wounded, as well r as the many prisoners taken at Contreras, j having been properly provided for, the j troops were crdered off, in quick time, to \ ; take their place and perform their part in ; that bloody drama, the fiisl act of which | w as then being rehearsed upon the field of Clmruhusco. i Shields' brigade, consisting of the New I Yoik and l'alnietto liniments, having had a taste of the blood of the Mexicans, thirsted for more, and w ith boating hearts, , flushed with victory, hurried on quickly , ' to the scene of strife. Arriving at Sa:i i , Angel, we halted, to await further orders. ( \\ lulu we sere resting upon our arms, finger's liatlery came up in a gallop and i dashed past us, amid the cheers of our j brigade. Shortly after our gallant old commander in chief, (ieneral Scott, was | .'seen approaching 1 Vieei\ing his ap . proach, Col. Butler, road up and met him. They grasped hands, mid tears coursed their way down the cheeks of (ten. Scott, as he returned his thanks to I v^oi. iHitier, lor me gallant conduct of f the Palmetto Regiment upon the field of i i Con'reras. "South Carolina wid <]<> her duty, General," was the l.rief but charge- , I j terislio reply of our Itu'Jer. Thus they ! ; parted never to meet again upon earth. The battle at the Convent and bridge , was waging hotter and hotter. The musketry, and cannonading were terrific, and our boy* longed to march to the tight, j ! which was raging so fearfully. The or , ' , der to move forward came at last, and . j was promptly obeyed. , j Our brigade was ordered to file past ! , the troops which wera engaged at the ! teti< )?mt. and take position near the hascienda de las Porlales, in order to cut i f off the letreat of the enemy. After a j winding march of more than a mile, from : 1 i San Angel, we found ourselves near the , , \ edge of a largo field, which was damp ' , and boggy. Here, to our surprise, as ! , well as to the surprise of our command- , i ihg Generals, w e found over four thou- ( sand Mexican troops?among them the | > celebrated Pulque Guards, composed of dandies and rich m< n's son's residing in Hie city of Mexico?well entrenched, and r protected by a hedge of Polque plant, ' who at once opened ? shatp fire upon us, , I which momentarily increased. As we j I were marching by a Dank, it t ecu me ne I r < ccssary to execute a movement before ' ; we could meet our foes. The order "on the r right by file into line" was extended, and f ; never was this order so promptly "filed" j under so galling a fire. We then advanl ced upon the Mexicans. Every step we 1 | look, some of out .boys would reel and fall, Lr the fire of the enemy wm very - deadly. Thy air seemed thi k wiiblyad-i ; 1 en messengers of death, which told ter- j i rihle elfect upon our lines, I-nt still the I ; Regiment advanced. Volley after volley ' | were poured through our ranks in rapid t succession, causing us to wave to and fro ' J I like stalks of wheat in a wind storir., hut i ! still we marched onward. Color bearer \ x [ after color bearer would fall, but pro lliey j touched the earth, their flags were seen t 1 waving proudly o'er our heads. The - voice of our Hutler could l?o hoard high , above tkc horxui uon*i a.,o din of battle, 1 urging us ou to victory or to death. Gen 1 oral Shields finding it impossible to out , ! flank tlx) enymy, determined to pierco to i I heir rcnl re hv l he ha \ onel. Orders w.-rc i rxtended to file to the right, and take por sition in rear of the hacienda for the pur j 1 pone of establishing a new line. The ( > left wing of our regiment, not hearing the | i 1 order. and feeing the right wing fiiing off, supposing that the latter had come to the : > conclusion that "discretion waa the better r part of valor" had fled. The otlicers of , the left wing shouting loudly to their , command to aland,'or die in their tracks,1 while^lie subaltern* swore like ari my in Flanders," tiial they would never . leave the field alive. The command was - extended however, and soon the left wing fi'ed off. Here, a new line was formed, I the l'nlmeltot'S being the base, and again f we were ordered to advance, liy this i time we were encircled on three sides by a a blond thirsty foe who were pouring a i, terrilife?oh, bow terrible,? fire up>n u.?, w bich * *? committing havoc in our ranks, a So tuirihle and so deadly was it, that the r other Regiment composing our Hrgade, i. adopted FallstafTa plan to get out of it, - and either "played dead," or showed u* i- the color of their pants under their coat i tads. General Shield* then turned to us. y and in a tone of voice which betrayed e deep emotion, said : "Falmettoes I have 0 every confidence in your gallantry I who e will follow me !" Our beloved colonel e stepped op, and after raising his cap, ? proU/lly replied,' "General, every South y 1 Carolinian hero will follow you to the death." "Aye, to the death," responded Servant llrooks, and then followed a of j shout of defiance which made the very it? earth shake. Onward we marched, de- stni termined to do or die. Suddenly we tha were aeon to falter, and reel to and fro chn like drunken men. Then came a cry, I past /hitier is killed! /hitler is killed!? ry i (jinl help us now, said my right hand it w man to me, to which I solemnly and from atte my heart replied, "Amen." Oh, this was as i a trying moment. Standing in the cen- was tre of six thousand creel and blood thirs- | wen ty foes, ouiselves numbering scarce two drip hundred, we suddenly lost our head, our As father, and for the moment felt that we loni were orphans indeed. Our arms became star nerveless, onr heart's blood chilled, while ' dou tears, aye, scalding tears, coursed their 1 the way down our powder blackened cheeks. , chu Col.

"Right Dress"?Forward- Charge, followed each ottier in rapid succession. With abound we dashed on, "hurling our ranks of liv- she ingsicel in the face of a now astonished and panic stricken foe." "It was hut the dres work of a moment?a shout?a shriek? "ml and all was over?the enemy were flying Hoi in n'l directions, like broken fragments of .

In the joy of that moment \ sl*e we forgot our dead and dying, and made "f y the welkin nog with our shouts. Just ! w,,n then we beard shouts ascend from Twiggs '1 and Worth's division, ami then we knew tlioi that the bathe of Churtihuaco had been fought and won and victory f<>r 11fifth 41 tune, that day |>o?cliu?l ititon the Allien 'J can flag.

With iiglit hearts wo turned our figb bad s on them to retrace our a* ops. Then '1 it was that the st< rn realities ot a battle that field hurst upon our view. One hundred you and thirty seven of our bravo comrades, 4^ who had ri>en w:th us at the tap of the ' 41 Irnrii that morning, and who had joined j f?rt with us in shout* of victory at Contreras, : to u were now stretched upon the lield, some j you cold and a'.iff, others dying, and others .

Here lay Ad j you ains, cold iu death, with a smile upon his not handsome countenance. Farther on lay I you, Clark, surrounded !>v the remnant of his vvlra command, who were vainly striving to I 41 keep alive the vital spark which w as still 1 she retained iu him. On every side were our 4^ mess mates, our boon companions and I"4"! our comrades. It would be a labor of this love, to toll of the deeds of dnring per- *'*< formed hv my brave coniradea, each and you every one of them, but I leave this to 41 abler pens than mine. lr'01 tutu jj' ?? c? : poo A Husband's confession- jlou I never undertook but once to set at to naught the authority of toy wife.
