THE ICEBERG. BY \. STEWART HARRISON. [CONTINUED. 1 "Justas we were going over the* side a lad we had on board wanted to KO with ns. He was the owner's son and had been sent aboard to eure him of a desire to go to sea. There's as many gets the desire for sea life that way as gets cured. Captain said he couldn't go, but he begged so hard that I asked leave for him, and said I'd take care of him; so he came with us three. "We traced the lane till night, and then got under the cliff, lit a bit of tire with the drift-wood, pulled out thc coffee and biscuits, and so did pretty well. We laid down round the fire, one keeping watch. I found it precious cold with only the blanket and my pea-jacket; and I was obliged to hug up the younn 'ter, he felt so bad. I don't know but what both were warmer for it. In the morning, we had some more coffee and some pork. It got light enough about eight bells to go on; and when we got into the wind, it was dead South and felt as warm as summer. We got on and had some dinner, and started again ; we could see the watery sky ahead, so pushed on. The lane was open nearly all the way ; here and there we should have to cut a bit, but not much. 'About 2 o'clock, we sighted the water itself. There was a good deal of surface drift to the edge of the pack, but the thaw was going on fast; right ahead, there was a biggish berg; so we left 'Sleepy Sam' at the bottom and climbed up-I and Sands and the boy. .V'Can't get back to-night, if we try for it,' said Sands. 'Anyhow, we'd best stop, and make a long day of it to-morrow.' ' 'I thought this' was a good plan ; so we went down again, expecting to find Sam. "He was gone-clean gone! not a trace of him anywhere: We shouted and fired our guns, but could hear nothing in ratnrn. " 'Must stay now,' paid the boy; 'it's getting dark, and we shan't do any good stumbling over the hum? mocks to-night.' "So we stayed. "Best getup on the berg again,' said Sands. 'He'll stand more chance of seeing us and we him. ' "We got a few sticks and ht a fire 1 again; and I said I'd watch for the first spell. Sands and the youngster lay down, and I watched. "I never knew rightly how it was, but I was waked up by falling right on my face. I crawled up and found that the berg was adrift from the pack, and had risen at least ten feet nigher, and all on one side. "Sands and the boy woke up as soon as I did, and says Sands, " 'She's adrift, Stevens!' "He looked awful pale, he did; for we could see it was just morning. True enough, she was adrift, and knocking about in the small ice in a way that made us hold on fast to any? thing to keep our feet. "She kept slowly drifting to the East'ard along the edge of the pack, breaking it up as she went; so that there was no chance of our getting off it on to the main fast ice, to reach the ship. "About an hour or two after she started, the youngster says to me, " 'Mr. Stevens-' " 'Drop the 'Mr.,' says I; 'it don't sound natural.' "'Well, Stevens, then; there's Sam.' ' 'True enough, there he was, run? ning along the edge of the pack like a race-horse; hut he soon stopped. We signalled him that it was no use, and motioned him to go back to the ship for help, though there was small chance of his finding his way there in time to do us any good.

Fob 13 I Charleston Advertisements. 1 m in'mum OF THE SOUTH. THE undersigned, WHOLESALE DEAL? ERS, advise you of the fact that j Charleston is agaiu a market for the pur? chase of goods; and in view of the early opening of the Spring Trade, we beg to solicit the resumption of tho patronage sd j liberally extended to this market in thc . j past. \Ve are aware that many old and I respected firms will be missed from ?ur ? j number, but many familiar names will be j found in new associations, ready to supply t the wants of the trade as of yore, and other j old and new firms will be added to our : number at an early day. J The cash and short credit system having been universally adopted in all the North I ern markets, w? are necessarily compelled to adopt a like system as the only safe one on which to conduct business, and th? heavy per contage once necessary to cover bad debts will now be avoided. Small pro? fits and quick returns will be the rule, and ! under its working we hope not only to restore to our ancient city its former pros? perity, but te extend her trade to the fall extent of the capabilities her excellent geographical position and natural advan? tages afford. Our interest and ambition t combine to stimulate us in attaining this result. The South Carolina Railroad is now open to Columbia, and its President has officially informed us that the Augusta line will be completed to Blackville thia month, and that on the first of February he will receive through freight to Augusta. A line of steamers to Savannah will afford facilities for shipping in thai direction. It is our purpose to have in store, by the last of February, a complete and varied assort? ment of goods in our respective lines adapted to the Spring Trade, and every : exertion shall be made to promote your | interests. We extend to you the hand of commer? cial fellowship, and solicit your co-opera- I tion and patronage in our efforts to make ! Charleston tho centre of Southern trade, j Give us tho encouragement we ask. and j you will enjoy all the advantages of a cheap homo market. I I Dry Goods. W. T. Burge & Co. ! i Edwin Bates & Co.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN : Nothing is so uncertain as life. No provision is perfect that is contingent ooo.i the duration of your life, ?vbich is not immediate. Tho only IMMEDIATE provision isthat provided by LIFE INSURANCE. It provides a SECURITii to tho family of every man engaged in business. lt is a species of property that costs nothing but tiie premiums; it requires no repairs, has no taxes, calls for no outlays, and its conditions do not change.
