A FRAGMENT.
•Meet her,quart'.'muisdtT!’ huilotl tlio officer of the

Torn from my ^r«Mp upon ihecnp.stan by a moim-
taiu wave which swept Urf in its power, 1 was borne
over llm lee.bulwarks ; tuidti rope, which 1 grusjted
in mv passage, not bein^ In.kiyed, uurove in in\
hands, and 1 was buried in the sea.
•ManoverboardV function^ the docks ‘Cutaway

Stunned and strangling, I rose to the surface, and
instinctively struck out lor the ship; while, clear
above the roar of the storm, and the dasliot thee
terrible sea, die loud thuuder of the trumpet t amo
full on my ear:
•Man the weather main and maintop-sail brae • *>•:
slack the lee ones; round in ; stand by to lower
away the Ice quarter boat!’
My first plunge for the ship, whose dim outline I
could scarcely perceive, in the almost pitchy dark-
ness of the night, most fortunately brought nit; with-
in reach of live life-buoy grating. Ciiiubing upon
this, I used tin; faithless r<»pe, still in my hand, tu
lash mvself fast; and thus freed from the fear of im
mediate drowning. 1 could more quietly watch am*
wait for rescue.
The ship was now hidden from my sight; but
being to leeward. I could with considerable distinct
ness make out her whereabout, and judge of the
motions on board. Directly, a signal-lantern glan
ced at her beak ; and oh ! how brightly shone that
solitary beam on nn straining eve.! for, though res-
ru d from immediate peril, what other >uecor could
I look fur, in that f artul swell, on which no boat
could live for a moment/ What could 1 expert,
save a lingering, horrid death !
Within a cable’s length, lay my floating home,
where ten minutes before not a lighter heart than
mine wit.-'enclosed by her frowning bulwarks; and

The ship now remained stationary, with her
lights aloft, but I could perceive nothing more
for some minutes; tin v have given me up for

That I could sen die ship, those on board wo.. ■ ..
knew, provided I had gained the buoy; hut their I .
object was to discover me, and now several blue-1
lights were burnt tit once fin various parts of dm !

rising (T ar above the wttvi , her bright masts and

‘There be is, Sir ! right abeam !* shouted twenty i
vocies, as l rose upon the wave.
‘Man the braces!’ was the quick, clear, and joyous !
reply of the trumpet; while, to cheer the forlorn!
heart of the drowning seaman, the martial tones of j
the bulge rung out, 'Hoarders, away!' and the shrill

and the noble ship, blazing with light, fell off be fore
the wind.
A new danger now awaited me; for the immense
hull of the shiop-of-war conic plunging around,
hearing direetlv down iq nn me ; while her increas
ed proximity enabled me to discern all the ininutiflP
of the ship, and evon to recognize the face of the
first I iicutf'iiant, as, trumpet in hand, he stood on
the forecastle.
Nearer yet she came, while 1 could move only as
the wave tossed me ; and now, the end of her living
jib-boom is almost over my h« ad!
‘Hard a port!’ hailed the trumpet, at this critical
moment: ‘round in weather rnaiu-hraccs; rbrht the

'The spray from the hows of the ship, ns she came

by so doing, I might in that fearful swell miss
the rope, and be unable to regain tny present po
sition, and drown between the two chances of es
cape.
I was so near to the ship, that 1 could recognise
the luces of the crew on her illuminated deck, and
hear the officers ns they told me where the ropes
lay, but the fearful alternative l have mentioned,
caused me to hesitate, until I, being much lighter
than the vessel, found myself fast drifting to leeward.
1 then resolved to make the attempt, my resolution
again faltered, and the precious and final opportuni
ty was lost! Now, too, the storm, which, as if in
compassion, had temporarily lulled, roared again in
full fury, and the safety of the ship required that she
should be put upon her course. * * *

her infancy to he flattered and caressed ; and when,
at the lady’s desire, she bestowed her hand upon

Thn Anglo.Norman dress, in tho I ltlt century,

wore a long and close gown reaching to the feet,

Over this hung an equally lung cloak, generally

hood hung behind it. The close gown was put on,
over the head like a shirt, and fustened round the

I’awsif. OouitTsnir.—The following descrip
tion of the mods in which a Pawnee woos his lady-
love, is abrideeJifrom Murray’s travels in America
and Cuba. It will be seen thnt ll»is tribe of Indians
court, as convicts in a penitentiary labor—they
adopt the silent system ; a most conventual mode
for all bashful bachelors.
\Vlv n the lover wishes to break the ie«, he comes
to her lather’s tent uuinvited, and sits on the corner
the mat for a considerable time, and then goes
away without speaking. This is the preliminary
step, answering, perhaps, to the first gentle pressure
of the biimk—the first blushing, hesitating address—
tlie first mutual glance of understanding. After a.
few days, the young man returns, wearing his buf-
falo robe with flic hair outward, and again sits down
silent in tho corner of the tent; this is a proposal,
a regular. “ popping of tlie question.” If the father
is determined to reject, him, nothing is placed for
him to sit on, and no meat is ofTured him ; but he
aftprov of the match, these lights of ho* prtality a.**
Zibscrved- Feasts are then given by the respectivlK-
parties, in order to obtain the consent of tlie*x rela- >
lives. Hf both leasts terminate favorably in this
respect, t!tc young tuau presents himself once more
before his bride at the door of her tan*, and then
turns round and walks slowly of)! towards liis own ;
she rises and' follows him—the marriage is then
complete ; (if she remain sitting, it is a sign that her
family decline tlie match.) All this is done with,
out a word passing between tiie intended bride and
tlie husband that is to bn. But the most extraordi-
nary part of the uftair is, that havingmarried an el
der sister, lie lias a right to marry all the younger
ones as they successively attain tiie age of puberty.
The uutluir adds, “ l have seen several chiefs who
have in this manner married a whole family; the
eldest wife being the greatest drudge,and the young
est being gone rally the favorite Sullanaa, and conse
quently dung tho least work.”—N. O, Picaytmc.
