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 talkinl* "T 7f en aft « * iittlc low talking, we heard the splash „f l)ie pad . die again as the boat returned. 1 tha he g i ra s <ifalher lr t,jld us “Inward that da, P briber than usual i , f"l*" and had nothing to >«htw e ood he had Jut in <ma " T d ' 0f »'<*<* could Bafelv e ** mu<dl a " 'he boat to return* a " d thfe " hadtriad he supWd* t , new wa fi which “K d i SK>~«£. l!0 ‘ to " e *■ i»pi„“ “r‘»« jut unless it was tilled l?

VOL 111. 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. T. R. Gouldi.vu. 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 --vilte Banner.
