THE PILOT'S STORY. Wo had grown up together as it were, Molly and I, our parents being near neighbors, and-which does not always follow-linn friends as well. They were poor, and I suspect that fact had much to do ivith their friendship, for opportu nity - were always turning up for helping ?ne another, and I have often noticed that when uear neighbor, are well oil, and have no need of mutual help, there is seldom any friendship between them. There is more apt to be jealousy and competition. < >ur parents being such good friends, it naturally resulted that Molly and I fol lowed their example. We went to school together, read together, played together, and somehow, when Molly was eighteen and I twenty, wc agreed to travel togeth er all our live, anti were happy in that arrangement; in fact no other *-ould have seemed right or natural, cither to us or our parents. From thc earliest days of my boyhood, 1 had evinced a fondness for thc water, haunting the palatial .steamboats that floated thc great Mississippi River, on whose banks nestled the city in which wo dwelt, and, al thc period lo which I am about to refer, I had just secured a position as pilot on a small freight steam er. It wai not much of a position, tobe i sure, nor was there much ol' a salary nt- j (ached to it. but small us it was, Molly and I docided that we could make it answer for two people, reither of them extravagant or unreasonable : besides which, I had hopes of better .me-? to coote, as 1 had received words of com mendation iront my employers and prom ises of speedy promotion. So carly one bright morning, having obtained a day'n leave of absence, Molly and I were married, aud stepping into a carriage I had hired for the occasion, we started off", having decided on a day's excursion to a celebrated cave near bv. thi< being all thc wedding trip wc ?. ubi allow ourselves; not that wc cared in the least, however--we were loo happy to le disturbed by tiny shortcomings of time or purse. We had scarcely driven beyond our own street, however, when we were brought to a halt. "Herc is a note to you from the super intendent." Thus it ran : "Am sorry to have to re call your '.cave to day, but you mUit im mediately goon board thc Mobilia, which is ready to -tart up thc river. Tito pilot is too ill to attend to duty, and you are appointed to take his place for thc pres ent." "There goes our weddiug-lrip all tc smash," said I. as I read the order to Molly. "Why so?" >he asked. "You see, I must go to the pilot-house of t'ne Mobilia." 'Very well," she replied, "wc will just go up the river instead of to the cave, Drive on, Hob ; let ti* go down to the wharf in state." "But you can't go into the pilot-house with me, little goose." "Of course not ; but I can sit on the deck outside," laughed Molly, "and we can !ook at each other." And so it came about that I took pos session of the Mobilia'a pilot-house, my in art glow ing willi love and pride-with love, for there, just below me, on thc little forward deck, sat my sweet bride ; with pride, because the Mobilia was one of the finest of thc "Moating palaces" of thc Mississippi, and to pilot such n one had fur years been the height ol' my am bition. The steamer was fitted up with ti double cabin, one above the other, the upper one opening upon n smr.ll deck reaching out toward the bow, near the centre of which, on a railed platform, was placed thc pilot-house. This deck was always occupied by passengers, and this morning it was particularly crowded, foi tho boat was heavily laden with peo plo tcking advantage o? the beautiful weather t.. mai. an incursion up the river. Suddenly a cry broke forth from tba cabin behind mo : "Fire ! Fire ! Fire !" A horrible cry ut all times, but moat horrible of al! when it rings forth in the midst of gay, unsuspicious hundreds, Moating in fancied security in the midst ol' the waters. An instant's awe struck silence succeeded that awful cry, mid then three hundred voices of men, wo men and children uuitcd in fearful, heart rending shrieks for help. "Fire! fire! fire!" Aye, there was no mictake about it no false alarm. No oro could tell bow it bad commenced, b.it there it was, creeping along tho roof of the upper cabin, with thc deadly Hames greedily lapping up every awning and curtain they could find upon their way, ever and anon darting long tongues of Hame down to thc floor, to clasp in the light chairs, aud tables and settees in their fiery em brucc. Tho people darted down from the blazing upper cabin to the forw.J.d deck below, where, as yet tho foo had made but little headway, and there our bravo captain-who was that rara avis, the right man itt thc right place-suc ceeded in partially quelling the panic. "Keep quiet!" he ordered- "keen qui et and stay ju.-t whero you are, or I will not answer for tho lives of any of you. The steward will provide every ono of you with life-preservers ; but there is no reason for any person to go overboard yet awhile, at any rate, unless suicide is desired. Keep quiet, I say I Screaming won't frighten thc fire away. Pilot, head her straight for thc island half a mile ahead." (Wo wero at least twice that distance from tho mainland on ci ther shore.) Then he shouted to the engineer: "Put cn all steam-crowd her ou. Wo will rua a race with the foul fiend that has boarded the Mobilia." There was an instant's pause, and theu with a groan and n surge, with tho tim bers creaking and straining, and tho windows rattling as though in mortal terror, thc Mobilia gathered herself up to run her last race. Each passing moment thc flames crept on and on, never pausing in their terrible march. Fortunately, they leaped up ward rather than downward, so that Ibero was as yet but little danger to the panic stricken crowd on the lower deck. But the pilot-house was directly in the track of thc flames, and already their advance guard was beginning to aurround me, singing my hair and eyebrows. Suddenly there was a murmur among the people below, and thc next instant a light form flew up thc ladder leading to the deck by thc pilot-house, and before I could utter a word, my precious Mollv had thrown open the door, and closing it again, stood hy my side. "Molly. Molly," I cried, "for Heaven's sake, go back, go back ! Don't you see how tho flames arc creeping toward us hero? Go on, my dearest, my own true wife. Don't unman mo by making me fear for you. Go down whero I can feel that you havo a chanco for ssfety." "Rob Thorpe," 6he exclaimed, with her eyes looking bravely, right into mine, "am I your wife ?" "Surely, surely, thank God," I uttered. "But go, go." "My post is here, just as much as yours is," she answered, Irmly. "I will stay herc, Rob, and If you die, I will die, too. We will make our wedding trip together, my husband, even if it be into the next 'world. Keep to your duty and don't mind me, Rob. There is hope for us yet. and if it comes to the worst, why" and a brave, sweet ?mile crept around her lips-"wo are still together, dear love." I saw it W;i?? no Uot to urge her any nore, and besides, something swelled in ny throat so that I could not utter a vord, sc I just gripped thc wheel hard md looked right anead, though every hing looked very dim just then, aud my evotcd darling stood calmly at my side, retching the names that were creeping loser upon us, leaping around tho pilot oitsc like hungry demons impatient fot their prey. "Thorne !" shouted the captain, "come down. Lower her and yourself over the rail. We'll catch you. You cannot stay there any longer. Wc are very near thc shore now, and the rest we'll take our chances for." It was an awful temptation. I knew that did I follow the captain's advice, botli Mollv and I would bc safe, for I was a good swimmer, and should thc boat not reach t'.ie shore. I could save her and { myself; but then, if I did this, would I ? not deliberately expose every one of thc three hu ml red "souls on board to destruc tion ? True, the boat might keep her course during the short space remaining to bc passed, merely from thc rapid im petus of her approach; but again she might not- and then ? I looked at my wife inquiringly. "Stick to your post, Hob,'' she said. "No, sir,"*! shouted back ; "I shall stick to my post. I shall . tay here until I run heron shore, or die first." "My brave Hob-my noble Itob," iu*<r m II red Molly. At last, just as the theglowiug tongue-, af flame began to reach in through the window, a trash and a shiver passed from stem lo stem of the obie steamer, and with a sharp quiver and a -hake, her bow ran high upon the shelving beach, and in less time than il takes to tell it, every ?nan. woman and child sprang from the heated decks and were saved. Hut alas for my devoted Molly ! alas for me ! not ihe pilot house only, but the cutir? deck around it was now surrounded by llames. It was too late to lower our selves to the deck below. The railing was all ablaze. My arm>, released from their guardian tdd) over th*1 wheel, clasped Molly close to my heart : but my eyes and brain were but seeking for some mode of escape from thc death that ?teemed each instant more certain. All at once my gaze rested on the pad dh box. It had" t.ot taken tire yet; the Hying spray hail saved it. I had only to dash across thc llame swept deck anti Hying open ti door in its side, which af forded ready access to the wheels, lo lower my precious charge to thc water beneath in safety. No sooner thought of than done. "Take my hand, Molly." I said, "and run with mc. We shall bc saved, after ail. Wrap your shawl over your mouth. Now, now -run !" Heaping down on thc deck, wo sped, hand in hand to the paddle box. I d.vhed open thc little door, nnd pushing Molly inside, passed in myself ami drew thc door close again, thus shutting out thc eager flames, whose angry roar pur sued us, as wc dropped gently down in thc shallow water and crept out from behind the wheel. Our appearance was hailed with a shout of delight and relief, for all had given us up as lost, and we must have been but for the heaven-inspired thought pf the wheel house. Now that the danger was over, poor little Molly fainted ; and no wonder. But she soon came out all right, and as the people began to find out that thc brave little girl, as they called her, was really a bride of only a few hours, and that wo were on our wedding trip, there was a regular ovation, followed up by nine deafening cheers. Tho island upon which tho Mobilia liad been beached was low, sandy and uninhabited, although not an inviting place for three hundred people, without a particle of shelter to pass haifa day upon ; yet, even in this plight, there were few grumblers in our midst. There was no room in our hearts for any feeling but that of thankfulness for our preservation from a fearful death, and niter the peril of tho last hour or two, it seemed a small matter to wait patient ly for the coming of the relief boats that wc knew were sure to arrive before many hours Wv ce part. Though Home miles from any large city, we knew that the burning steamer must liare been seeu from the farm houses scattered sparsely along the river bank, and that from these, noticct; of the disaster would bc sent to the nearest town. And so it was. Before nigbfali several uiun?i sleumboula at rived, and after that but a few hours elapsed before we found ourselves safely at home, and our adventurous weddiug trip at nu end. But its results were not ended by any means. Tho terrible nervous strain I endured, combined with sovero burns on my face and hands, threw mc prostrate on a bed ofsickness. When I was able to report for duty again, two weeks later, I learned that a noble gift from tho Mobilia'? grateful passengers-no less a sum than two thousand dollars-lay in the bank awaitiug-my order. Not only Ibis, but thu steamboat com pany had voted mc a gold medal mid tho appointment of pilot of thc finest steamer on that linc. Years have gone by since my brave wifo and I had so nearly journeyed out of tho world on our wedding trip. From pilot I have come to bo captain and part owner of ono of tho-se beautiful floating fialacea that used so to excite my envy ; >ut never do I pass, without a sickening shudder, tho little island where tho Mo bilia ended her last race. Tho Blamed Fools. When Davy Crockett was a member of Cougress he was Bitting ono day in a hotel toasting bis shins, when a Senator from Massachusetts entered. Approaching the old frontiersman the latter said : "Crockett, a large procession of your constituents are marching up thc street. You ought to go out and greet them. Crockett hurriedly rose aud went out upon the hotel steps, when a large drove of mules passing by caught his eye. He quietly watched them until tho last one had passed nnd then returned to his seat by the stove. Tho Massachusetts Sena tor was still there,andas thc rcdoubtablo Davy dropped into his chair, asked : "Well, did you see your friends?" "Ob, yes," was the response. "They I look remarkably well, too." "Did you ascertain their destina I lion?" "Certainly, sir." "And where were they going in such a solid body?" Crockett turned to the Senator with a quiet, calm expression, and replied : 'The blamed fools wero all going i down to Mofisachusetta to teach Behool !" I And they gazed a moment into each I others faces and sadly walked up to cx j ercise the bar-keeper a while. WHISPERING FOR BACHELORS.-Noue but the married man has a homo in bis old agc ; none has friends then but ho ; but he lives and freshens in his green cid ago, amid the affections of wife and children. There are no tears shed for the old bachelor; thero is no one in whose eyes he can see himself reflected, and from whose lips he eau receive the unfailing assurances of care and love. No, the old bachelor may be tolerated for his mon ey ; he may cat and drink and revel as such do ; and ho may sicken aud dio in a hotel or a garret with plenty of atten dants about bim like so many cormorants waiting for their prey; but where are the moistened eye, and gentle band, and lov ings lips that ought to receive his last farewell? He will never know what is it)(o be loved, and to live and die amid a lov ing circle. He will go from this world ignorant of the delights of tho domestic fireside, and on the records of humanity his life is noted-a blank. - Captain Boyton, the noted swim mer, is on his way lo Fort Benton, whence he will start on a voyage down the Missouri River to St. Louis, a dis tance of 8,580 miles. THE YORKTOWN CELEBRATION.

Present advices promise a inilita rv roprcseutatiou from nearly every State iii tho Union-many Stales sending full regiments- together with tho Governors of most of tho State?, accompanied by their statis, and distinguished citizens iii lar;_'e numbers. For tb" reeontion at"' proper comfort of tho latter, a building is to be erected, thc arrangement of which will bc ln:er announced if deemed nee canary, lt hiing desirable thal all the military organisations should be comfor tably e'stabTished before the eeroinouies begin, so that, s., far as possible, confu sion may be avoided during tho c?r?mo nie-, it i-. urgently requested that oil organ izations intending to participate o-ange i>, bo on the ground not later than Satur day, the I'd fi october, and notify thin ollie,' of their intention to bo present I before thu 10th September next. To those w ho report later than Ibo last men tioned dale no guarantee of a com fort a b'" ramping place can be made. Tho commission purjK>xo t<> establish a uilli tarv camp un the South bank of thc york Hiver, near the town of Yorktown, and as nearly a- practicable on the ground occupied by the allied tr ?>>i<-* during the siege of lf-il. Tho camp will be under tl.mmaud of Major < 'encrai Winfield S. Hancock, I". S. A., and will be governed, *o far as may be practica ble, hy the rules and regulations of the army While it is the intention <d* the commission to furnish tents to shelter the whole command, it is questionable whether tho limited amount of canvas placed at its disposal by the government will meet the demand."owing to tho large numbers expected to participate in the celebration. Organizations, therefore, having tents at their disposal, or within their requisition, are recommended to bring them with them. Karly advices should be given this otlleo upon this point, in order that thosu unprovided with shelter may be promptly supplied upon their arrival. Water for drinking and cooking will bo provided in reasona ble quantities and nt as convenient points as possible. Fuel to a sufficient amount for cooking purposes will be provided by thu commissi'UL The tn ?ops from each State will, as far as practicable, be located together. A post?nico will bo located on tho grounds, also a telegraph ofllco, with connection to all points. Tlie camp will be lighted by night w ith electric lights and no effort w ill he spared to make the encampment as complete ami enjoyable ns the means and facilities al the command of the commission will permit. The com mission linds it wholly Im practicable to pr?vido or arrange for tho subsistence of the organizations visiting Yorktown. The soldiers of tho regular army will ho provide<l with tho regular ration, and it is recommended that mili tia organizations so far as mav be possi ble, como prepared to establish company messes on the ground. In such event, the more important elements ol' the ra tion, such as bread, salt meats, salt, pep per, vinegar, sugar, candles, Ac, should bo brought with them, also cooking uten sils and dishes. Tho situation of York town, in the near vicinity of the finest fishing grounds, oyster beds and inarkof. gardens in tho country, affords peculiar facilities for tho abundant supply of edi bles of tho largest and choicest variety at tho most reasonable rates. At tho same time no objection exists to the employ ment of caterers ?ir to special arrange ments being made with any of tho res taurants or hotels on the grounds to fur nish meals to companies or regiments, provided tho meal hours conform to thc regulations of the ramp. ('aterors who will send their addresses, and the extent oi' their ability to furnish meals, to this office, will bu placed in communication with organizations desiring to obtain subsistente in this manner." A IluriUA-vr WHO LAUGHED.-Sev eral men were making purchases in a Michigan avenue store yestcrdtry, when a mau who had been looking out of the window for some time turned mid said: "Well, that'B a bud case." "What is it?" inquired two or three ?t ?DCC "Well, I don't know who Lac hus band of this woman out herc in the wagon, but if I were he I'd go across the street and smash that fellow's head." "Why?" "Why, because, be has been working like a beaver for thc last half hour to get up a fliration with ber." At this ono of the men began to chuckle. Then the chuckle ran into a laugh, and finally ho had to sit down. "What's thc matter with you?" was asked. "Why, I'm-I'm that woman's hus band." "Are you? And you arc laughing over the flirtation !" "I-I can't help it," bc saidee bo went off in another fit. "Ju?* think of him a flirting and a strutting up and down and a doing the pvrty when the old woman out there has been stone blind for seven years-ha: ha! La!"-D?truit Free Pren. WHY IMMIGRANTS SUI N THE SOUTH. -Tho St. IiOuia Republican thus defines the two chief causes for the lack of im migrants to the South : "First, tho existence of the large negro population of the South ; second, wide spread misrepresentation and false infor mation as to the social and political con dition ofthat section." A large negro population in Texas and Arkansas does not deter white im migrants from settling in those States. "False information about social and po litical conditions" may have had some thing todo with preventing immigration, but the chief cause for the immigrant shuiinitig thc South isa lack of informa tion concerning the facilities for obtain ing cheap land. Cheap land is the great attraction in tho West. Cheap land takes tho immigrant to Arkansas and Texas, and cheap land will fetch him to Tennessee and other Southern States, when he eau have assurance that he can get it in those States.-Memphis Ara* lanche.
