GRANDFATHER IN THE
MARSH.
While we were living at White Bluff,
mr mother,3 father came from his far
off home to make ua a visit, and he was
so well pleased with everything he saw,
that he stayed with us a long time. He
was an old man with white hair, but 1 e
was strong and industrious, and was
always wanting to do something useful.
There was not much to be done at
the Bluff, for it was a little village to
which the people came mostly in sum
mer for health, and where there were
no plantations, uor farms, nor factories,
nor works of any kind. Sometimes be
would work in mv father’s garden, and
sometimes in a little workshop that he
arranged for himself; and at other times
he would take my father’s boat and pad
dle off, with a servant or without one,
he did not care which, to shoot wild
ducks, or to bring back a mess of fish
and crabs, or a boat load of oysters.
Whenever the tides were very high, so
as to rise over the tops of the marsh
grass, he loved to paddle over to the
little hummocks or islands of cedar that
looked so pretty from the bluff, and
shoot the marsh-hens and the raccoons
that collect upon the floating rafts of
sea weed and dead grass. But whenever
he went away, he was sure to bring back
something useful, and if he could do no
better. he would load his boat with light
wood knots, or with chunks of cedar
for our tire. Sometimes he would be
absent only a few hours, and at other
times be would be gone all day.
At the time I am going to tell about,
be had paddled off by himself early in
the day, and had been gone longer than
usual. When sunset came and he had
not returned, my mother began to feel
uneasy; but when the twilight catue,
and the deep dusk, and at last the dark,
my father began to be uueasy, too. We
had waited supper pretty late, and
though nobody lelt like eating, we at
last sat down to the table, hoping every
moment to hear his halloo, or the splash
of his paddle. While we were at the
table, Jacob—not the same Jacob who
called to me and Rosa from the bluff,
but another black boy whom we called
‘•Little Jacob,” and who did not speak
so plainly as the other one—Jacob
came into the room and said, “iinly
i&tole tnassa now dat hollab down dey
in de mash ?”
You can scarcely make out what he
meant to say, for the negroes at that
time did not speak us plainly us they
do now; but 1 remember his words
at well as it they were spoken yes
terday. What be meant to say was
this:
"Is not that old master now, that
is hollaing down there in the marsh ?”
We all jumped up very quickly from
the tatde, ai.d ran to the piazza front
ins the marsh, to listen. We could
hear distinctly a voice from across the
river, crying, •‘Help 1 Help!”
This voice did not sound at all lil *
wy grandfather’s ; it was too weak and
hoarse; still my father answered as
loud as he could, "Yes, yes! coming
directly !” Then we ran over to the
nearest neighbor who had a boat, and
got hi s negro man to jump into it, and
paddled quickly to the other shore, to
help the person who was calling.
Although it is long ago this happened
I recollect perfectly the high bluff,
upon which we stood, near an ugly
looking tallow tree that grew beside our
neighbor’s fence. 'The night was very
dark, and the nian went off in such
haste that we had no time to prepare
him a light in the forepart of the boat ;
tnd indeed he said that unless we could
provide him a pretty strong light, he
*ould do better with none at all. When
we boat left shore, I remember the only
thing which showed where it was in the
darkness, was the bright sparkling ot
jhe salt water, which glowed like a
hundred little fire flies wherever its
surface was broken either by the boat
or by the paddle.
Soon the sparkling of the water, as
. ** the figure of the boat was lost
in the darkness. We could tell from
o strokes of the paddle that she was
Moving very fast, and we could hear the
TOice of the person in the marsh trying
guide the boatman, and also the
wice of the boatman as he went from
*° P'ace ii> search of him. Pres
y the voice of the boatman sounded
across the river, “1 find ’j ra l I find ’iml

neatest p»Mt of raarah ; bat this was
not an easv thing for a per arm so old m
he, especially •* h* h*<l au » bjg over
coat and a pair of thick boot*, that
n.de him wary clwtnay in the water,
and he came near aiuking before he
reached the point.
. y\-i, e n he found himself at the.raajth,
he was so weak from swimming that
wm soma time before be could
halloa at all, and then uot very loud.
The mnd of the marsh, too, where he
stood, was so aoft, that he tank in it
almost to his knees, and then the tide
kept rising so fast, that he knew, unless
somebody came very soon to help hiui,
he must drown right there. He said he
had been in many dreadful battles
nndcr General Washington, but he
never felt worse in any of them than he
did at that time, when he felt the
water rising higher and higher up bis
body every minute, and perceived bis
voice getting weaker and hoarser every
time he called, until at lust lie gave up
all hope, and began to think how dread
ful it was to die so, and have his body
eaten up by crabs and alligators before
morning.
At last, however, he heard some one
from the other shore callout, “Yes I
coining directly!” and he saw lights
moving very last, as if people were in a
hurrv, and heard a loud thump as the
boatiuuu dropped his anchor in the
boat. Still, he said, he knew that there
was not one minute to spare, for the
tide had already brought the water up
to his neck, and he was afraid that be
fore the boatman could hunt round in
the dark and find him, the tide would
have risen over his head.
He said thnttbe souudofour voices from
across the river was very sweet to him,
but that the sweetest music lie ever
heard in his life was the sound of the
paddle as it came near to him in the
darkness. It was some time, however,
after the boat got to his side of the
shore, before the boatman could find
him ; for all except his head was cov
ered by the water, and a man’s head
cannot be seen far in a dark night,
especially when it is surrounded by
marsh grass. He kept guiding the
boatman by bis voice as long as he
could make himself heard, and when
the boat at last reached him, the water
from the tide was beginning to splash
into his mouth.
When he reached our side of the river,
he was almost dead from cold as well as
weariness, for it was winter-time ; but
my mother had a big mug of hot toddy
ready for hinT to drink, which made him
feel so much stronger, that he got upon
his feet and allowed himselt to be helped
up the bluff to_our neighbor’s house.
There, a nice warm fire bad been pre
pared for him, and also some hot tea;
and soon he was stripped of his Wet
clothes and rubbed dry, and supplied
with warm dry garments.
The distance was not great from this
house to my father’s—a child might
run there while another slowly counted
a hundred. When my grandfather said
he was ready to shirt, my father walked
oil one side to support him. and our
good neighbor supported him on the
other, while a negro walked before him
with a blazing torch of light-wood, and
my mother and myself walked close
behind him, and in course ofa few min
utes we were at home.
After this accident my mother in
sisted that her dear old father should
never go off in the boat unless some one
went with him. But he said that he
was no baby, that he was an old soldier,
and had served seven years in the war
ander General Washington, and that
lie must be allowed to do as he pleased,
and take care of himselt’. I think, how
ever, he took better care of himself in
time to come: at any rate, I know that
he never pleased to engage in another
such boating as he had had that day.

Fux.vvGßaprrrc Reporting. —We find
in an exchange somewhat of an amusing
statement of reportoriai doings, which
did not exactly convey the ideas of the
lecturer. The reporter thus put the lec
turer in print :
“ The lecture last evening was a bril
liant affair. The hall ought to have
been filled. We are sorry to say only
forty persons were present. The speaker
commenced by saying that lie was, by
birth, an ecclesiastical deduction, gave
a learned description of the devil, and
his skill in sawing trees. Among other
things, iie stated that the patriarch
Abram taught Cecrops arithmetic. We
trust the eloquent divine may be induced
to repeat the lecture at some future
day.”
The next day the lecturer came out
with the following letter, in which he
rudely spoils the report by correcting a
few mistakes:
Dear Sir:—ln a report of my lecture
in your beautiful city, you have made
some mistakes which I wish to correct.
You made me speak of myself as by
birth an “ecclesiastical deduction
w-hat I said was that I was not by birth
but only ecclesiastically a Dutchman.
Instead of speaking ot the devil sawing
trees, I spoke of him as sowing tares. I
said nothing of Abraham, but spoke
of the Arabians as nomads of patri
archal simplicity. I said that Cecrops
was the founder of Athens, and in
structed the people in agriculture.
IdT.EWILD.—Mr. N. P. Willis’s fa
mous eountry'seat on the Hudson came
about in this way: It was a portion of
the farm of Nathaniel Sands, a lovely,
kindly, gentle old man, whose sweet,
persuasive words from the high seat ol
the Quaker meeting have won many
hearts to the peacelul faith he had es
poused. He decided to sell the track
to Willis, naming some very moderate
snm of money as its price, “hecaußO,
Nathaniel, it is only an idle wild.” “I
will take it,” said Willis, “and it shall
be called Idle Wild.”
Rruakkaiii.e Mkmoby.— Our attention
has been called to a remarkable instance
of memory in the case of Master Ed. R.
Pennebaker, jr., a member of tbe Sun
day school, of the McKendree Methodist
Church, who repeated verbatim 2375
consecutive verses of Scripture, without
hesitating or making a single mistake.
This was done at four recitations. At
another time he repeated the entire
book of Mark at one lesson. Master
Pennebaker is an intellligent and pro
roisiug youth of eleven or twelve years
of age, and a nephew of onr fellow
citizen, E. K. Peunepaker, Fsq.-A’dv/t
