On my way across tho Sound I foll in with two old sea-captains-John Stroctcr and Asa Mot ton-with whom I bad sonni slight acquaintance Street er was ?bout three-score, and had fol lowed tho sea during most of his lifo. Morton was considerably youngor, but still n .seaman of muon experience. Tho subject of tho abolition of Hogging in our navy cunio up in course of con versation, and Captain Moi ton express ed himself very decidedly in favor of keeping up that time-honored institu tion, tho cat-o'-ninu-tails. "I nm not proparod to say," remark ed Captain Streeter in reply, "that tho condition of our incn-o'-wars-men will bo in every case benefited by tho abo lition of Hogging, though 1 am sino that it might bo so. 1 moan that tho officers have it within their power to do away with nearly all kinds of pun ishment- that is, oi course, for such tillen .f, as aro usually punished on shipboard." '.For my part," returned Morton, "I should not caro to take command of a ship if tho power to punish refractory seamen as I thought proper Wore taken from mc." "Woll," resinned Captain Streeter, "I used to think just so. lu fact, there wore few masters moro passionate or ?overo thai! I was. Men used to run away from me, and, on more than ono occasion, my very lifo has been in dan* ger hom the vengeance of men whom I hail abused. I used tho cat and tho lope's-ond almost as freely as 1 used my tongue; and I often wondered how it happened that 1 always had tho luck to get such bad men. "When I was about forty years of ugo I look command of the ship Peters ham. Site was tm old craft, and had seen full as much service as shu was capable of seeing with safely; hut hor owners were svtlling to trust a valuablo cargo in her, so 1 would not refuse to trust myself. We were bound to Liv erpool, and nothing unusual happened until about the eighth day out, when wo ran foul of a small iceberg. It was carly in lite morning, before sunrise, anti not above ?ix or oight feet of tho ice was out of the water, it having been nearly all melted away in the warmer water of the Uulf-stroam. i did not think that wo had sustained any injury, for tho shock was very ?light; but I was angry, mid gave tho look-out a severe punishment, without stopping to inquire whether ho co.dd haVO seen the berg in season to escapo it "My cabin-hoy was named Jack Withers, lie was fourteen years of ngo, and tills was his li rsl voyage. I had taken hun from a widowed moth er, ami had promised her that I would seo him well treated--that was, if ho buln ved himself. Ho was a bright, quick, intelligent lad i hut 1 soon mado my-cit believe that he had au awful disposition. I fancied that he was tho most stubborn piuco of youthful hu manity Uiat 1 hail ever come across. I made up my mind that ho bad never been proporly governed, and I forth with resolved to break him in. I told bim Pd curb his temper for him belora I had dono with him. In reply ho told mo that I might kill him if I liked; and I flogged him with tho end of tho mi/. /.on-topgallant halliard* till ho could hardly stand. I asked him if ho had had enough, and ho tobi mo that I might flog moro if I wished it. I felt a strong temptation to throw tho boy ovorboard, but nt that moment ho staggorcd back against tho mizzen mast from absolute weakness, and I left him to himself. Whoa I reasonod calmly about that boy's disposition I was forood to acknowledge that ho was ono of the smartest and most faithful lads 1 lind over soon. When 1 asked him to do anything he would start off Uko a rocket; but when I roughly or dorcd him to do it, then came tho dis position with which I found fault. ..Ono day, when it was very near noon, I spoko to him, and told him to go below and bring up my quadrant. Ho was looking ovor tho quarter-rail, and I know that ho did not hoar mo, and tho next timo I spoko I ripped out an oath, and intimated that if ho didn't move I'd holp bim. " 'I didn't hoar ye,' ho said, with rathor an Independent tono. " 'No words,' said I. " *I a'poso I cnn spenk,' ho retorted, moving slowly towards tho companion way. "His look and Ids words, and tho ?low, careless manner in which ho moved, firod mo in a moment, and I grasped him by tho collar. " .Speak to mo again like that,' said I, 'and I'll flog you within an inoh of your lifeT M ?You oan flog away,' he ropliod, os firm ami undaunted as a rock. .'And 1 did Hog him. I caught up the end of tho first ropo that carno handy, and bent him till my arm fairly ?ohed. But bo nover oven winced. Jfk .. -How's thatf' said I. ?Thore'e a littlo moro lifo In mo yet that you'd bettor flog out,' was bis ""And I beat him again. 1 beat lum till h? sank from myliand against tho rall; and then 1 sent one of tho men after my quadrant. When lt cn nw, Abd I had adjusted it for my observa tion, 1 found that the eua wu? already past tlio meridian, mid that I was too lute. Tliis added fuel to tho lire of luv lUdd0088, and quickly seizing tho lad by thc collar, 1 lcd him to tho main hatchway and had thu ii atoll taken otb 1 then thrust him dowai, mid swore that 1 would keep him there until his stubbornness was broken* Tko hatch was thou put on, and 1 wcut into tho cabin. 1 Buffered a good deal that af ternoon- not with nny compunctions for what I had done, but with my own temper and bitterness. It mudo mo mad to think that 1 could not conquer taut boy-that i could not break down Iiis cool, stern opposition, "lint 1 will do it,' 1 said to mysolf. 'Hy thc hcav 0U8 abOVO inc, I'll starve lum into it, or iic shall die tinder tim operation!' "After supper 1 wont lo the hu toll way ami called out to him, but ho re turned ino no answer. .So 1 closed tho hatoh and went away. At len o'clock I called ngaltl, and again I got no an SWOr. 1 might havo thought the Hog ging had taken away his senses had not somo of tho mon assured nie that they had heard him, not an hour be fore, talking to himself. 1 did not trouble him again until the next morn ing; but 1 went lo tho hatchway after broakfii8t and called out lo him OUCO more. 1 hoard nothing from him, nor could 1 see him; 1 laut not seen him since 1 pul him down there. 1 called out several times, but ho would make mo no answer; anil yet the same men loki me that they had heanl him talk that very morning. Ho seemed to bo calling tor them to help him. Ho would ask them for help, bul he would not ask me. 1 meant to break him into it. 'He'll beg boforo he'll star vc," I thought; and so I determined that ho should stay there. 1 supposed .he hail crawled forward lo the forecastle bulk head iu order to make tito sailors hear him. Somo of tile men asked to bo permitted to go down and look after him, hut I refused. I threatimod to punish tho lirst man who dared to go down. "At noon I went airain, and as ho did not answer me Ibis time, 1 resolved thal he should como to tho hatchway and ask for ino ere 1 went any moro. Tho day passed away, ami when even ing came again 1 began to bo startled. I thought of how many good qualities the boy bad ; and 1 thought of his widowed mother. He had been thirty six hours in tho hohl, and fully forty hours without food or drink. He must bo too weak to ery out now. It was hard for me to givo up, but if the boy died there from absoluto starvation, it might go bardia1 with me still. So al length i made up my mind to go and sec him. lt was nol ipiite sundown when I liad the hatch taken off, and 1 jumped down upon tho boxes alone. A little way toward I saw a space wiiero Jack might have gono down, and to that point I crawled on my bands and knees. I called out here, but could hear no answer. A short distance farther was a waler space, which I had entiroly forgotten, but which I now remembered had been left open on account of a break in the dooring of tho hold, which would have lot anything that might have been stowell there rest directly on the outer planking of tho sh ip. "To thu place I niado my way and looked down. 1 heard tho splashing of water, and thought I could detect a sound liko tho incoming of a tiny jet or stream. At tirst I could seo noth ing, but as soon as I became used to tho dim light I could distinguish tho faint outlines of the boy at some dist auco below me. Ho seemed to bo sit ting upon ibo broken lloor, willi his feet stretched out against a cask. 1 called out to him, and 1 thought ho lookotl up. " 'Jack,' I said, 'aro you thereP' "And ho answered mc, in a faint, weary tono: " 'Yos; holt) mc! For Heavon's sake, help mo! Bring mon, and bringa lan torn; tho ship has spruuk a leak!' "1 hesitated, at.il he added in a moro oagor tono: " 'Mako haste; I can hold it till you como back.' "1 waited to hoar no more, but hur ried on deck as soon as possible, and returned with a lantern,and tlirco mon. I loapod down beside the boy,and when 1 saw it all I could hardly beliovo tho evidenco of my own souses. Th roo of tho timbers wore completely worm-eat en to tho very heart, and ono of tho outer planks had boon brokon, and would burst in at any moment tho boy might loavo it. Ho ?at tlioro,? with his back upon it and his foot braced against tho cask boforo him. Haifa do/.on littlo jots of wator woro streaming in about bim, ami ho was wot to tho skin. I saw that tho plank must burst in tho mo mjiit tho strain was romovod from it, so I bado my mun braco themselves against it boforo I lifted him up. Other men wore called down with planks and spikes and adzes, and, with much care and moro trouble, wo finally sucecedod in stopping tho leak and avortiug the danger. Tho plank which had boen s to VD in was si\ foot long by eight nich os wido and would havo lot iu a gtroaui of wator of this capacity. It would have beon boyond our roach long ore wo could havo discovcrod it, and would havo sunk us in a vory short limo. J know it must bo whoro tho iceberg had hit ns. "Jack Withers was takon to tho cab in, and there ho managod to toll mc his story. Shortly after 1 put him in tho hold ho crawled forward, and whon his oyos i.ec.une used to tho dim glim mer that carno through tho doad-liglits, ho looked about for a snug placo in which to Ho, for bis limbs woro'stiif ami ?oro. Ho went to sloop, and when he a wol;e ho hoard a faint sound, like wa ter stroaming through a small kolo, lie wont to tho opon space, iu tho cargc and looked down, and ha was suro thal ho saw a small jot of wator spurting up from tho ship's bottom. Ho leaped down, and in a fow momonts found thal tho timbers had given wholly away, and that tho stream was increasing it si/.c Ho placed his hand upon th? plank aud found it brokon, mid alu disco*c<-< ' that tho prcssuro of tho wa tor without was forcing lt inward lb had sonso onoupdi to soo that if it g.dina an Inch moro it must all go. and titi ship must be lost,and perhaps all hamil porish!

Ho throw his arms about my nook, and told mo if I would bo good to him ho would never givo mo causo for offence: and ho added, as ho sat up again, '/ am not H coward-1 could iiulbc a dogP "From ihat nour I novor forgot those words;and from that hour i have novor struck a blow on board my ship. 1 make my mon fool that they aro mon that i so regard thom, and that I wish to niako thom ns eomforlablo and hap py as possible; and I havo not failed lo gain their respect and conlidenco.

Wino may bc kept for various peri ods; but good ordinary wino is never better than at tinco or four yours old, though it may koop sound for twenty years, lt is now very dillicult to get puro wino. Water is often added at tho limo of pressing equal lo tho quan tity of wino and fermented with it; thus tho two bocoino blended, ami pure alcohol added gives the strength. Peo ple used lo pure wine can delect ut once any adulteration. Once wo lidd ed something to our own wino. There had boon a very abundant crop of grapes, owing to an unusual amount of rain having lallen when tho grapes were swelling. Tho amount of wino was moro than one-third above ibo av erage, and though clear and puro it seemed weak. Wo thought it could not stand a hot summer, and consulted a local authority, who recommended a hollie ol brandy, or maybe Iwo, to bo added lo e.tea cask ot about 40gallons. The advice was followed, and tho wino was spoiled-thai is io say, tho pure taste ol wino was gone, although il ro maine.i perfectly sound, li was no pleasure to di'ink it, timi wo consigned il to ibo domestics. A small cask that bad not been doctored or fortified kept perfectly wed, and turned out au ex cellent wino. Tue best wino comes from high ground, bul quantity gives way to quality. Stony ground-often old quarries-produces a high quality of wino-bright, light, and wholesome, lu thu plains below you have quantity, but Coarse sud heavy wine.
