ing around you will give a eo|>|ier
colored lute to her skin, in spite of
every effort of the fancy.
Little blue-eyed Minnie Wlmrneliffe.
passenger üboard tlie whaler Truxtou,
t lor Rio Janeiro, was the sweetest girl
I eve* mw, either on land or water.
Her father, who was with Iter, hail,
for many- years, been a sv:MSR| tain,
but was tiovv on his wjty to take |r»«-
bessioii of some property left for hint
at the plate mentioned by n Portuguese
relative.
1 "as at this time utwmt oi htceii
; Years old, while Mil)uie was but fifteen.
Tlie silvery music o! the girl's laughter,
her sweet ways, and the starry light
duqeing in her dove-1 ik<> eyes, made
U|H>u me a powerful impression, when
ever I found myself near her. This
often happened, as the captain was
my third eon* in, and would scud for
me to visit him ,n his efthin.
When away from tlie girl > would
go hy niybdl to think of her, usually
mounting into tire in mu top, or sitting
upon the topitaii-v -ml ;><r tt. it purpose,
as I could not Lear to muse on so
gentle a subject among my noisy- ship
mates.
One evening—we were then within
a few tlnys' sail of Rio the w iud came
ou to Wow a gale, sen ling the seas
Touring and caret rtng along, with
crests gteaming white, and lire phos
phorescence seining U| ><n them like
j show ers of stars.
We were standing along with dotible
' reefed topsails, foresail, topmast stay
; sail and jib, rolling violen'ly, now ami
then plunging bows under, when I
I heard aery from Minnie, who had
eoine up to look at the sciuiillatiug
: waters.
Turning round—l stood at the time
near the main hatch—l beheld the
j girl’s hat—u little round one of velvet,
! »ith a green feather—whirling up
ward toward the main-royal must.
Watching I saw it finally catch
against the royal yard, where it re
mained, the ribbon daugling from it
! having i round the lift covered
; with melted tar, which caused it to
slick fast.
Os course the gallantry of the sailors
was at once aroused; several, myself
among tlie immher, sprang for the
main shrouds. Before we were in the
rigging, however, tlie captain sang
out:
“Hold there—that mast is uprung/ ”
(injured.)
When tlie gale first struck the ship,
we had heard a cracking noise, but.
had not known whence it came. Tlie '
skippei. however, had gone aloft to I
investigate tlie matter, and came down
just iteforc Minnie lost her hat I
; There she stood upon the qnnrter-
I deck, a pretty pictare to look at. Iter
I little rosy mouth half open, her hands
! clasped, her eye* turned up towards
: the fluttering hat, the wind making
| merry with her long chestnut curls, j
no I” she exclaimed, turning to
Brcnptain; “do not let them go if
I there is any danger.”
I My companions obeyed tire ea|>-'
. tain’s order, returning at once to tire
I deck, but 1 kept on.
j “Tom Burke!” roared the skipper ;
“come down, I tell you!”
! Reluetantly 1 obeyed, although 1
would much rather have preferred
1 risking my life for the velvet hat with
tlie green leather.
! An hour later darkness was upon
the sea. The wind stiil roared a gale,
and the was were as violent ns ever.
In calm or rough weather, it was
my custom, when !u warm latitudes,
to sleep either on deck or in the top.
in a gate like the present I usually
t*<ok the precaution to fasten a rope
round my middle, that 1 might not tie
jerked overboard. Just as the tell
struck for my watch below, I mounted,
as usual, into tlie maintop, and hav
ing secured my form with a rope,
stretched myself down with my head
against the mast.
As may be imagined, I could not
sleep, owing to the violent grinding
uud jerking-of the spar. With eyes
turned upward in*o the darkness, I
lay musing about Minnie Whamcliffc
and tlie hat with the green feather.
Tlie pretty little head-piece was prole
ably still aloft ou the end of that
hateful royal-yard, and the thought
j occurred to me that it would i>e a

ill is time sparlh the craft
wan cracking with the violent motions
of vessel, on-1 as I gained tho yard,
site Blunged with n suddenness anti
I'ohse that almost threw me from im
position.
1 looked for tho hnt, att*l saw it still
fluttering from the lift. With a quick
movement, 1 secured it, by darting
ont on the foot-rope, and was about.
mo*-ing iawurtl, when there wus
another plunge of the shi|> —a crash—
and, to my bonor,l felt the spar going
over. 1 threw myself upon the yard,
grasping it Qnalj. Down went the
must at the same moment, hurling
me Irom my ixjsitlon.
As I MI, uiy knees canto into con
tact with the tnd of the maintop-gal
lant yard, and I endeavored to grasp
the lift.
A roll of the ship made me tutss it,
and J was thrown oil'!
Wildly 1 tossed my arms, and
grasped a thin line, which, 1 instantly
comprehended, was the top-gnllant
gasket—a rope which is used to wind
round and hold the sail when it is
furled or stowed upon the yard.
•Sometimes, during a gale, this rope
becomes looscrte.l, e«|>erially when the
sail Is not very neatly furled, by the
wind getting in beneath the creases
of the canvas and putlliug it out.
Such, ou tiiis occasion, was the case;
hnt it must be understood that the
•’.■edict had not blown entirely clear,
and that it Was simply one of the
bright* or turns which I had sneoeeded
in grasping. Thu turns being nil
loosened, lias bight slackened beneath
my grasp, causing me to be precipita
tcTt tirCut tF^tcn&tttar
I expectod t ) continue my course,
liut in an instant my progress was
arrested by a circumstance, which,
while pci-.w-tlj uatural, was totally
itucxpected.
My ankles, us I fell, had caught in
two turns of tin; loosened gasket,
which lie,oming twisted round them
by a swing of the ship, tautoued,
liringing my heels sharp up against
the yard, as if they had been screwed
there! It was my weight that pre
served the twist of the rope—prevented
its uueoiliug; uud so there I hung,
aw.'tying al »ft, head downward, nearly
a hundred feet ahnec the deck !
A thrill of strange horror went
through me—the blood soeging into
tuy brain, soon uoufused and bewil
dered me.
Through the darkness, tlie phos
phorous gleaming from the " liite-loam
patches of roaring water, resembled
the eyes of miniature sea-demons, look
ing up uud exulting in my painful,
perilous situation I
As well us I could in my present
positiou 1 shouted to make myself
heard, but my voice was swallowed
up in the thunder din of sea and gale!
To me, the noise was as if hundreds
of cannon were booming in my ears.
Despair seined my soul. At the
mercy of the rolling, plunging ship, I
wus tossed hither and thither like a
pendulum. Far down—down—down
iieueath me in the durkucss, the sett
by roy distorted vision was soon mag
nified into one great yawning whirl
pool, contrasting with which, the dim
dedf looked h*w a mere chip, whirling
round and round.
1 would rather the rope parted and
let me go down into that whirlpool,
than hang thus much longer. I could
not make myself heard—doubtless
those below were still ignorant of my
situation—and so there 1 was, that
ship’s living pendulum, swinging so
far aloft, with bursting eyeballs and
brain filling with blood.
Boom! boom! boom! Swing!
swing! swing! crack! xvhu! whish-sh
sh !
llow drearily monotonous sounded
these noises of tlie roiling ship, the
swashing water, the thundering gale!
How I prayed that the rope might
part ami thus put an end to my tui.v
cry.
There was something fearfully tan
talizing in being held by tlie mere
turns of a gasket, without any pros
j»ect of my rescue.
But to be made yet more of a Tan
talus was I doomed; for beneath me,
faintly discernible in the phosphor
lighted gloom, ap|ieared the forms of
two of my shipmates, standing near
the main-mast, apparently conversing
in the most quiet, uucom-ernud muuuer
possible!
The gloom impenetrable abore them
prevented their seeing me; they, with
all the rest below, were eveu ignorant
that the royal mast had given way,
the’ noise having been drowned by the.
I din of the tempest.
Could I do nothing t« attract the
| attention of my two shipmates ?—to
make my situation known to them ? I
| I again endeavored lockout, hut
now my long, unnatural downward
position had almost deprived me of
the |>ower of speech' My brain was
j becoming more confused every mo
ment: I felt) that my senses were
deserting roe 1
| Ere consciousness left me, however,
* sudden thought flashed iuto my
brain 1 l clajqwd roy hand to the
! belt in which l Ittpt my knife, and
eUncovered Unit the instrument, thanks

curiosity enough to make tni’in discern
whence the weapon came.
Alas! 1 knew, by the manner in
which the knife left my hand, that 1
Imd not made st’fllcient allowance for,
j the wind ; that the weapon was, there
fore, whirled off into the sea!
; And so, there 1 still was doomed
to swing, while my two shipmates so
far bcueath tne—right lienealli me—
still stood calmly talking together,
| ignorant of my peril!
! O! how my head throbbed! how hot
1 became my eyeballs! A »ca was surg
ing in uiy brain as well us below! I
Another thought! my pocket knife! |
I felt for it, tied round inv neck by
an old lanyard, which, with one jerkl
s tv e I!
Then 1 dropped tlie knife, and then
—a twanging sound like tlmt of a
bow-string went through my brain,
uud 1 knew no more I
When I came to tuy senses, I was
in the cabin, tho captain (tending over
ine, a pair of soft eyes turned upon
my face—a soft hand upon my brow I
She was by tue, Minnie .Vharncliffe,
and I was happier than words can ex
press.
What more to add ?
My last effort Itatl proved success
fit I ; the knife, failing near the two
tin u, led to a search aloft, and to my
rescue, accomplished by means of
ropes.
“Do ye sea that?” inquired the cap
tain, holding up a piece of rigging.
It was from the gasket, ami there
was but one liny tlrand Left , the other
two Imviiig untwisted!
“That was all between yon and
CM nifty, when we hauled ’you in !”
continued the captain—“a moment
more and the strand would have pur
led!”
“Did Minnie getJier hat?”
“Yes,” she answered, blushing, and
with tea s in her eyes, as she held it
up —“it was found tied to the button
hole of your Jacket.”
In due time Minnie became my
wiio.
“Take her,” said old Captain
Wharmjiffc, wher. I told him I wanted
his girl, “and, although I shall feel
eternally grateful for the peril you
incurred on Iter account, in the matter
of tlie hat with the green feather, still
remember, hereafter, not to let your
I gallantry, my lad, ruu afoul, as it did
in that ease, with the wisdom of tin
old bead that knows how to steer his
craft according to the weather!”
A Strange Adventure Mr. Red

money, and told him to go out WeJt and
lcmuiu two years, at tlie end of which
I time, if ho would return to a s|icciftud place,

going home together tho wanderer, after
relating Koine ol his adventure*, inquired
whether anything Imd happened since he
left home for the West ?
“No, not a single thing,” said the other,
“everything is just the same as when you
left—except that the old crow died."

BED-nuo ANTtnoTE— A lady who hat
tried this simple method of extirpating the
repulsive liedbug, is kind enough to give a
public profession of iiiith in its cfllcacy
tlirougli the columns of a newspaper:
"If any of your readers need a sure rem
edy for bedbugs, they can have mine, and
I cleanse the house ol this troublesome ver
tuin without expense. They have ooly to
wash with sail water, filling the cracks
where they frequent widi salt, aud you may
look in vain for them. Salt seems inimical
to bedbugs, and they will not trail through
it. I think it prelerabte to all ointments,
and the buyers require no certificate as to
its genuineness."
