A SWING FOR IAVK.
Our vc^sol was tho surveying brig
Plover, which, day nftor day, in the
real me of tho Arctic, with bows sheeted
in crystal, with icicles hailing pendent
from the yards, with frozen, sails, and
shrouds, went, rippling on her course
through vast 1'n !?1p of Ice, and among
stupendous bvrgs that towered above our
very musts.
Sublimity, br'ghtn ss and gloom
alternated in this wild 1*1 iUie.
At times we saw the red Aurora
Burcalia funning tho cold sky, as it' in
mockery, with its lurid linlit; at times,
the ice duaalud with its brilliancy ; but
ollen it SCOtnud covered with black
shadows, while the eternal thunder ol
the tides, washing the b.mes of Irozcil
cliffs, boomed on OUT ears.
But there was n little sunbea i; in our
lliidst, which cheered US more than
wor la can express.
It was (Jlatibcl?thecaj tain's daught
er?u child ol" ten, gentle and lovely,
while full ol' lite and spirit.
Cnptaiu .lames hail taken his little
cue with him on the voyage, hoping
thereby to stun-then and improve the
child, who, although .-he hail not ye;
eh own any sign of ill-health, wob light
and frail, with her fair hair and blue
eyes, the complexion ol hor sweet m >
tin r, whu had died "f consumption.
The captain was a Btoru.quicktemper
ed in.in. Ion he almost i 'olized bis sweet
darling child. So did ail the sailors.
Chirping like a bird, wrapped iu her
pretty iur tout, she would run am! ektp
ubi ut the decks, aiitiling Itiudlj upon
all.
Sometimes she would mount the icjj
shrouds, and, porchod nway up ou the
topgallant yards, look down, luughi.ig .
at hrr patent, as he anxiously bc?koit< d
her hack tu the deck.
?he was a gieat clilllbor, and could
j run along the rails and gu up the ri
ing almost us fast as a sailor Menu
while her laughing voice Would seem t"
jijple Hid tinkle nil over the vcAsel,
fulling like silvery music upon the ears
of the listeners.
Every morning nur little girl inn t

j One day a dove, eager to t the
I eiuutbs she held out, rushed .it lor
hand with an impetuosity which sent
the shaip bill into the ?flesh of the
child's palm.
'I'll say nothing to papa about it,'
she muttered, us she t ghtbj ehiFp d the
injured hand; 'he will be angry, and. !
I'm afraid, will hurt the little dove.'
Pupa, h/.wevor, overheard aud caw
what hail happc ed
The purser was pa-sin.* at the time.
This was a young Swiss of twenty, who
had once been a poor chanioia hunter,
but who, h.aiii^ a taste I'm the navy,
bad entertd a naval school, and, by his
superior abilities, finally won his [ resent
posit Inn.
Tiefe, purser,' ordered the captain.
1 want you tu ha\e that dove's load
cut off.'
'Beu pardon, sir.' a id the purser,
who had an titled ion lor doves, ami had
tak n great pains to procure those in
tho vessi 1, at our last port, 'but?but ?
1 thought we we were not to kill them '
'Whit! not if they hurt my darling
child '! OLey my nnieis at once, sir.'
'J he purser turned pile.
'No, sir!' he answered, firmly. '1
could never obey such an order. M \
mother, just before she died, made me
a pmeilt of a dove, which 1 have now
at home. This sort of a bird has over
lien sacred to me since.'
'But it ht'.s hurt uiv dear child !' cii <1
the captain, his eyeB (airly blazing.
?Come, sir, obey !'
"' be purser, who "was a fair-haired,
gentle yonng fellow, shook his
head, sadly.
'No, sir !' bo answered.
Tbc captain's rage was uuLouiulei'.
II? piekt d up a handspike, and rushed
at the Switzer. who must the next mo
ment have been knocked to the deck,
but lor nn interposition. ThiH was
Chiribel, who ,was a great favorite, with
the purser.
?No! oh, no!' cried the child, cling

Ho walked away, and file 'coined now

The captain could not forbear giving

*You haven't the spunk of a chicken.
Mr. Duller,' said he; '1 don't know
what you'u do if wu wer?* in muuh

Dclfer'a eyes Rushed, but ho con

bugging at Iiis kmc, whispering, 'Novir

'1 he wounded hand was well in a
cmplu of days. Meanwhile Del for's re
fusal to chop off the dove's head was,
by mauy ol 'he sailors, looked upon as
pr< of of Iiis being decidedly ka chicken
hearted IblloW.'
The vessel was then ?t auchor.
Ono morning, about three days after
the event ncii'del, ? dove Hew out ol
the bin, and was, by the wind blowing
freshly at the time, carried sums yards
fn.m the ship. It alighted upon the
edge of an iceberg, towering to tho
height ol our t.'p galiaut yard, and from
I hence to t'ne very summit of tho berg.
With if quirk cry, Cluribel bounded
to the rail, and. getting over ilito the
nitiiu chains she was, before any person
could pi event her, upon tho fou idatioii
uf the berg?a broad, circular, jagged
piece "f ice, upon which the ba->e ol the
!V ?Zun pinnacle was fixed.
The upper put of the loflly mass pro
Ic i ? inwttrti.-like-a huge rocky shelf. ,
overhanging t'.ic foundation. As it was
supportfd by a rather narrow strip of
ice, r.n t as it had been heard to crack
several times by tht.se aboard the vessel.
. we ?II ? Kpccted to sec it give way at any

Judge, therefore, of ? ur consternation

less it w.i- an experienced climber, could
iii unit that berg. His weight would,
we believed, cause him to slip at every I
-tep. Claribcl, however, owing to her
lightness, went up the piecipi.ee almost
as east I) u- i! she wure going up stairs.
At this moment the vessel, caught b\
.i pull of wind, swung round, so that
for several minutes, the little climber
ous lost to our View.
The caj t tin and tin* rest called to her
t<> come bick, but the wind was blowing
nonius! us, so that we doubted il we

A : length, thefe she stood upon that
huge overhanging mass ofioo projecting
from the summit of the loftly berg. Tho

the very edge uf the onus, and Cluribel
stund looking down at it. Nut seeming
t' sie or hear us. she suddenly stooped,

d ished t>. pieces on the jagged iee. fifty

jeeted on al! sides !
Still, there she was, laughingly un
conscious of her peril, on the slippery
ledge, reaching out for the dove
The herg was n ?w oscillating with
the waves ; the cracking sound was he.ird
again.
Tfcfl captain sprung to tho quarter
boat. Hall a dozen men, among them
the young Swiss purser, Henry Delfer,
sprung in.
'1 he boat touched the icy foundation.

Your First Sweetheart.
j You can never forget her. S'jc was
j so very young, and iunoceut, and prettv.
She had such a way id'looking at you
i'tcr her hymn-book iu church. She
alt nc of all the world did not think you
a boy. and wondered at your e ae and
learning, and believed you every inch a
man. When at those stupid evening
parlies, where beys and girls who should
have been eating suppers of bread and
milk, nnd gone to sleep before, waltzed,
J end Hirtud, and made themselves sick
' over oysters and sweet meats, ynu were
j favored with a glance of her eye, or ?
! whisper of her lip, you ascended to the
seventh heaven immediately. When
! once upon a certain memorable eve. she
smiled nj on another boy, and nevor
looked at you, how miserable you were.
It is funny to think of now ; bu it was
I not fuuny then, for you were awfully iu
earnest.
Once at a picnic she wore a white
dress, and had roses twiued in her black
hair, and she looked so rauch liko u
bride that you fairly trembled ; some
limes yon thought, in just such snowy
ct stiiuie, with just such blossoms iu her
hair, sho might stand beside the alter,
and you, most blest of all mortals, might
place a golden ring upon her finger; and
when you were left ulonc with her for a
moment, somo of your thoughts would
form themselves into words, and though
she blushed and rana.vay, and Would uot
let you kisj her pretty rosey lips, she did
not Heeni to be angry. And then, when
you were somehow parted for a little
while, and wheu you met again, she was
walking with a gentleman, a large, full
grown, whiskered man, of twenty eight
or thirty, und hud neither word nor
I smile for you, and some well meaning
gossip informed you shortly after that
she was ''engaged" to the tall gentleman
with black whiskers, arid that "it was a
splendid match." It was terriblo news
to you theu, and sent you off to some
great "city fsr lroni your native place,
whore, rtftcr a good deal e4'you thful
grief, and many resolutions to die and
haunt her, you recovered your cjuaat
tnity aud began to make money aud to
call love stuff and nonscrso.
You have a ricv wife of your own
now, grown-up children, aye, even twq
or three toddling graud-children about,
your health ; your hair is gray, and you
lock your heart op in the ?io-prcof aafe
at your counting-.house, when you go
homo at night And you thought you
had forgotten that little episode of your
childhood, until the other day, when
you read of her doatb in the papers.
You know she was a stout lady, who
wore glasses, and bad died older than
che was in that olden time, but your
heart went brick and you saw her emil
ing and blushing, with her golden hair
about her face, and yourself a boy again,
dreaming of wedding robes and rings,
and you laid your gray oli head upon
your office desk aud wept for the memory I
of your first sweet heart.
Too Much Credit.
Mr. Kcene a shrewd and thrifty far
mer of A Men borough owned a large flock
of shep, and one autumn when it oarne
housing time he was groatly annoyed
upon missing a number of his finest mut
tons; among three or four wethers which
he had raised and fattened for his owu
table, lie was sure it was not tho work
of dogs, and the most ho could do was to'
await further developments.
On the following spring when hisaheep
wcre turned out to pasture, be instituted
a careful Watch mi ere long he detected
fom Stickn?y, u neighboring farmer, in
the act of pilfcriuga sheep; but he made
no noise about, it at the time. Stickney
was u lean well to do and Kcene did not
care to expose him.
Autumn came again, and upon count
ing up his stock Mr. Keens found eight
sheep niissiag. lie made out a bill in
form to Thomas Stickncy for tho
S i n?eutod tit. Stickney
co-iked and ri::>-.:: r- J but .ltd njt baek
down. Like a prudeut bo paid the bill
? .nid pocketed the receipt.
A., i . .? springtime c;..uc and Mr
Kerne's she p were turned out.
I A noth< ; aul 01 i came, and the fjruler
ngaiu look un :> ?uut of his stock, and
i I . wore missing. As
?ro he I out the bill to Tom
Stickney for the whole nun.her missing,
but this limo Tom object od.
"Its to i n.u rh ol a good thing." said
he. "Fifteen sheep ! Why, bless your
soul, 1 hadn't a fifth of em."
Mr. Keeiie was inexorable.
"Th< re is the bill," Baid be, "aud I
have mude it out in good faith. I have
made no loss when my sheep have" b tea
mussing, because 1 deemed your credit
good and sufficient.*'
"Well," gro ined Tom, with a big gulp
?'I suppose 1 must obey; but," he added
emphatically, "we'll clo.e that account
from this date. You have given uie too
much credit ulthoi|gb?some other ras
cal have Iseu stealing ou the strength of
it."
FraYKB ?tlas r,,it the church ilmost
to learn )et what is the power of prayer?
What conception have we of believing
prayer, before which mountains depart ?
\\ hut of presirving pray, which causes
us to stand continually upon the watch
tower in tho day-time, and which sets
us in our ward whole night*? What of
importunate prayer, w hich storm heaven
with its violence and force ? What of
united prayer, gathering us together to
ask tho help of tbo Lord? What of
consistent prayer, which regards no
iuiquity in our iieaits? What of practi
cal prayer, which fulfills itself?
Let such prayers he understood, let
our spirit but break with suuli 1 paging,
and the expectations oi our bosoms shall
not be delayed. "Aud it shall come to
pass that before they cull, I will answer;
and while thoy are yet speaking, I will
bear."?Dr. jamcs Hamilton.
