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 ' glorious achievement, would raise me .raufiortlgfr tfi ,ll* W passenger's tuta# peril of mv 1 re*>l«|d te ftfjSF.-'Tbe captain, who was nfs- v.-*mld at present know tediifeg it, anti as for the U* he would be tina lJe, owing totte intetme darkness, to It stffiek Mg tiiat the captain had "■"'tl '* ■ tpv’ttv**ll,-1,:; -.tnee 'Mii-jfev to restore it to I: .»wf ', vqp * * I chould have re fit- wa- :.n old seaotm. and' h»| for not. making o'«yißg'«StJ| n- ••! ihnuxmv. ui. 1 ''v# a -f.- lopipfat ng fWfc, Man jr 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 t lu the tixhfiftysa of the sheath, was stijl there! • j t pc -i pulled ftjgfh the blade and dropped ■jtffpt A woni i ffli cklvto ~ami i-ts 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 blossom drank more than his usual allowance of hot ruin mid sugar, one eoltl night, tiic conscqncnco of which was, he gave his wife a rather confused account of his conduct, on his return home. “Mr. Smith’s grocery store I invited me to go and drink cousin I Sain, and you see, the weather was I dry—and 1 was very sloppy—so I ! said I didn’t mind punching one drink j —und’s queer how my head went into the punch though! j The way home was so dizzy, thnt I slipped upon a little dog—the corner , of tiic street bit me—and an old gen tleman with cropjHid ears and a brass collar oil hi« neck, said lie belonged to the dog—l w.is—you undcrasand— ! ie—that is, I don't know nothing more about-.” l C2*~ A Cincinnati correspondent return ing from the Kost, wa* about to file himself 1 away in one of tlie ruilway pigeon-holes of n sleeping ear when the somnolent passen gers were roused by the voice of u huge . Kentuckian who holding up u pillow Ih-- : tween his thumb and finger, roared out to the attendant, “I say, you tev, come.— 11 What for, s*y?” Because I'm afraid the ' darned thing will get in my ear.” l iSf A sickly man, slightly convalescing, recently in conversation with a pious friend congratulating him upon his recovery, and asking him who hi* physician was. replied : j “Doctor Jones brought me through.” ' “No, no,” saiil l.i* friend, “Cod brought you out of yonr illuins. not the doctor.” i “Will, maybe he did, but iam certain j the doctor will charge for it” gy A correspondent speak* of a neigh bor who took his eight gallon keg to a store to hare it fill' and with molasses. The store keeper declared he had put in ten gallons, and demanded pay accordingly.
