There was choppy sea on; -"be j ti creasing wind crossin the bing Atlantic swell und kicking up coi siderable of a pother, and once dear ot Jaia and at the mercy of the ''roiling forties," tl schooner begafn to get pretty liveiy. The sk had become overcast, the clouds seemed to 1 getting lower. a?*.d *.he wind increased as gradually headed us on. and lt began to a sume the appearance cf what would nov-' I called "cutter weather.'' I was watching the other vessel through glass when I saw her lull' and como up in il wind. ''She's taking in her tops'ls." I shoute?. and when she fell off and again headed h< course ;t was under mains'l, and forseU an the jib only, and even then seemed to ha\ all the sail she wanted. And, indeed, it was high time we were d< ing something, too. for our skipper was *fii ing his vessel beyond what J thought advi able, ard J. expected something to go ever moment. She lay over at a fearful angle, th water to leeward hissing and bubbling abm her rail, while clouds of spray broke contint ally over the forecastle, varied ocensioimll by a hugo wave flooding lier dock torr; an aft. The crow, with tko exception of a coup] of hands at the wheel, were crouching mute tho weather bulwarks, every one of ther wet to the skin, when at length the cxpecte order eenie: "Stand by to take in your gai tops'ls and outer jibs, hekn-a-Iee, get the: stowed smartly, now," and hardly wer sheets slacked off and haliinrds matinee ere at a sign from tho captain, the heh was put up and we were again tearin tbrovgk the surges while the light canvn was being stowed. This eased her coi; siderably for a time, but by sundown i w-os blowing hnlf a gale while we plowed tb whitecaps iii grand style tinder a couple c reefs in main and fores'ls, our goal bearin; about three points to windward of tbo bea course we could lie. Before night closed in took another squint at the other vessel au? had the satisfaction of seeing that we ha< weathered on her some and were aise grad uaily drawing ahead. The view around u was superbly grand, but things were ratho too lively for any one not a seaman to enjo; it. The wind was blowing balf a gale-goo measure-the whole surface of the set-thin; waters had that opaque, graj- tint which th froth and bubbles of a heavy blow alway give. Monstrous seas rose and fell and ros again, their tops torn to shreds as th<-y brok into foam and spray under the fury of th1 gale, while the schooner, under her shortener canvas, was pitching in a way to make ? landsman's hair stand cn end ns one momen her sharp stem split a huge wave in twain her forefoot the next moment suspended clem of the water over the succeeding trough o; the sea as her stern sank d-.op hi the embrac? of the divided wave. As darkness came over the scene our last sight of the Invincible showed that we wer? at least holding our own, and, lt being my watch below, x turned in, after changing my wringing wet clothes, to make the most oj what bid fair to be only a short rest. I was awakened by thc bourse shout of "al! hands on deck," and tumbled up in a hurry to find the wind abating and the crew busy .shaking out the reefs in the fore and mains'ls. It being nearly 1:13* time to take charge the skipper went below, while I walked the deck in command, occasionally stopping to glan? at the compass to see how we kept nurcour:>'. About midnight we got the gait and jib tops'ls on her and before th.* captain again appeared we had the Hying jib set as well. By daylight, it vas only blowing a gotitio breeze, but the se- Ii was still k< avy, and as the schooner had .".Il sail r. including a maintop most stay>?J. ali that could be done was to watch and wait. It is needless to tell that, as daylight broke over the still heaving surface of the ocean, every eye aboard the vessel was eagerly se.i rei ling the expanse o? water for a sight of our competitor, but, from the deck, there v.as nota sail in sight. A baud sent aloft to the fore cross trees hailed the deck with the nows of a bark off the port beam, beading to the northwest, but that xvas ali. Speculation was rife as to the whereabouts of the olker craft, the generally accepted theory of her absence from view be? ing that she must have laid to to weather out the gale and that wc bad consequently run her out of sight. This Mea imparted a pleas? urable feeling to every ont- on board, as each one of us had the promise of a liberal share of the winnings in case of crossing the lino first-tbi-s being an offer of our owners as an inducement to the crew-besides the natural desire to win against a crack new boat The remainder of our run to and around Bermuda was uneventful, light winds pre? vailing all the way, and our course was i aid for New York with the expectation of meet? ing the Other craft on her outward ?journey. But no Invincible did we see, and on the early morning of the ninth c?ay out Sandy Hook light wps sighted. By noon we were running up the lower hay umlt-r a light, baf? fling breeze; shifting from east to east south? east and anxiously scanning every rchoonor in sight, but nothing was seen of the beauti? ful cruft for which we looked. We reported at the finish and found that wo had won our money, as the other vessel was not yet in, and right well were we satisfied with the race. When did the Invincible arrive? some one asks. She was never heard of ngai ri. Wheth? er she stni'-h a floating wreck, cr whether thrown on h?-r r?earn ends and foundered, or sprung a leak under the pressure bf the gait of tlw first dn\ arni night, has ;mr; ?or never will lie known.

Read nr. the Teachers Int er-Comity In? stitute, of Sumter and (Jin rend on Counties, on Friday, Any. 'lOth, 1887. and Published. [>}j Rennest of said, J nsf it nfc. Habit, in the abstract, is tiie involun? tary tendency to perform certain notions which is acquired hy their frequent re? petition. There are two classes of hab? its-good and bad-resulting from the repetition of certain given actions The repetition of a good act will produce a good habit : the repetition of a bad act ? will produce a bad habit. I believe j that Metastasio's strong sentence. "Ail I t in mankind is habit, even virtue itself," I i is true. Habit is formed si owly at first, be- j ginning with single acts, extending j into a continuous repetition of acts, and j it is not till its spider's threads are j woven into a thick cable, that its exist- j ence is suspected, proving that a 'two? fold cord is strong, but a three-fold cord is not quickly broken.' Jeremy Bentham says: 'Like flakes of snow that fall unperceived upon the earth, the seemingly unimportant events of life succeed one another. 'As the snow gathers together, so are our habits formed ; no ein?le Sake that is added tc; the pile produces a sensible change; no single action creates, how? ever it may exhibit a man's character . ? but as the tempest hurls the avalanche | down the mountain, and overwhelms the inhabitant and his habitation, so passion, acting upon the elements cf mischief which pernicious habits have brough ? together by imperceptible ac? cumulation, may overthrow the edifice j of truth and virtue.' A bad habit, wheo indulged in, soon becomes deep-rooted, obstinate, begin? ning with cobwebs and ending with chains, when the whole man is enslaved, ? physically, mentally, and morally, his ! whole nature being changed. Repeated pilfering will produce a confirmed rogue: repeated dissembling will pro? duce commensurate fraud ; repeated j betting will produce a gambler ; re- j peated back biting and gossiping will j produce a devil in a neighborhood ; continuous dram-drinking will produce | a drunkard. So powerful is this effect ! of the constant repetition of actions, that j men whoce habits are intemperate may . be almost said to have lost their free ! agency. Habit being second nature, their acts become of the nature of fate, and so strongly dc thc cords, which they have manufactured for thcmselve?, > entwine them, that they do those very j same things which they have been tc- j custom ed to do, even when they know j that a performance of the same can af- j ford neither pleasure ncr proSt. A bau habit, fixed, can never be j eradicated, from the fact that it renders pleasant, things which at Srst '.rere in - j tensely disagreeable or even painful. Xo man likes the effects of the first ? chew of tobacco. A bad habit may be kept in abeyance; it may be controll? ed : it may be governed, but never. never, y EVER, can be destroyed. Bad temper, opiates, thirst for liquor, are examples. From the time that it is formed, a bad habit, becomes a powerful and fearful factor in a man's life, and ! necessitates a constant, persevering, ! vaiiaut struggle until death to keep it j under. Bad habits arc more easily formed ! than good ones. We may use auy ? article of food agreeable to cur phys!- ? cal welfare without the formation of any j bad habit, but whenever wc use opiates, \ tob?ceo, liaaor, or ai?y other thies < contrary to our taste, a habit is formed, i a bad habit which will last as long as j life endures. By way of parenthesis, j the amount of tobacco and whiskey con Fumed per year is simply appalling. . Indeed it seems to bc a popular idea i with not a few of our youth that they j cannot appear manly unless they . their hair slick with drug store fat, j force down a drink of li .'?or. *eu>s : "round a few' and then take a quid of i tobacco and spit red ; they're elected i then; bound for the ki Dildo m.

'J he time inf; come when good men and women ail over our land should raise their vinces a sain M thc eviis of thc liquor traine. The time has come when those who make our laws, and those who administer them, must look to the suppression of this evil, for it threatens the ruin of our country, it is right and proper that our young peo? ple ir? school should bc warned against the dangers of this habit cf in Temper? ance. No teacher is faithful who doc?? not do it. The habit and vice of 'mod? erate drinking'.-houM Lc cl as?-d ?vi th that of intemperance, for it leads to drunk? enness, and is the more dangerous, be? cause so insidious. Help your pupils, with all the available help?, to keep the temples of their bodies so pure that God will dwell there; and show thom that they can not accomplish this if they take into them the 'strange fire" which turns a beautiful, nobie hoy into a bloated, staggering drunkard, and which habit ?lis, mere prisons and graves than docs any other blasting evil. Let us urge our students to think of the ruined homes, the widows and orphans, the suicides and murders, that liquor has caused, and thus do, through them, ali we can to help ban? ish it from land, keeping ever before them, in their minds, the solemn and awful declaration that, 'No drunkard shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven/ So much on tin's specific habit. If such be the results of b"d habits, how necessary is it that we cultivate good habits-doing all the good we can, getting ail the good we can-so that when the trial, the struggle comes. w& will have the reserve power to over? come, always bein?: prepared. William Matthews says: 'in some of cur. large mechanical establishments may be seen a machine invented to operate upon cold iron. With ali the ease and quiet of a common printing press it exerts a force ; equal to a thousand tons, whilst at every pressure of the 'cam' large cubes are pressed o?t of the solid bar as easily as one cati break earthenware cr mould clay. It will push its hard steel finger through iron two iuches thick, without the slightest jarring or failure in the regularity of its action. What is the secret of this prodigious and constant pjwer? It is found in the accumulated force of the balance wheel, which: re? volving one hundred and thirty times a minute, bears with overwhelming force upon the steel punch, and must either break the whole machine into fragments, or pierce tb rough eyer j obsta? cle. tn this ingenious piece of mechanism, we have a striking illustration of the I power of habit. There are times of pressure in every man's lifo when lie would utterly fail but for tho help thus j a?fo rd ed ; hut fortunately at the crbis. ; hy the force of principles that have ? gathered energy by long and pcrserver- j ing good habits, be is carried over rho j dead-point, and is .able to rally his j strength for new trials and struggles. Wc could continue, and enumerate \ and discuss mac j, many speciQc habits, such as politeness, showing that impo? liteness is derived from just two sources, indifference to the divine and contempt for thc human : the habit cf chaste con? versation, proving that as *a little ?re ki nd le th a great matter,' just so a lit- j tie quiet shutting of the mouth when i we are tempted to tell what wc heard | about somebody would soon cure that abominable, soul-cursing, mind destroy? ing habit of tattling, gossiping and back-bitting-small talk-in which li?'le.
