This the.latter cpnhl not do, for two reasons; The hr* was-illness, which cjOufined him to li|s cot; th: second,* that ho had not ole-third of a crew ‘ .— not even men sufficient to man his guns. . At the moment when she uttered the Words which commence this tale, ! Brown, the adlniralv of the Buenos • Ayres ship, had hoisted a flag at his gaff, whereon was embroiilered, ; riii legible letters, “(Joe, THE Cow- 1 ARP.” This was more .than his no ble wife could stand; for well she knew her husband’s truth ami valor, i After gazing an instant at .the fiag, ; ' she raised her jewelled hand, and ! . taking from her finger a diamond of : great value, she cried, to the officers : *\«i aH^STcu'Tvho stood round her on the ! deck: | & T will give this -diamond to any | man who .will bring me yonder flag!” For a moment there was no re- spouse; the men looked at their offi cers—the officers glanced at each other—but volunteers for so desper ate a service seemed scarce. “What! is there not one of all your number who dares the trial? Is my husband’s ship, then, indeed, Plann ed by cowards? exclaimed the lady, while her beautiful lip purled with scorn, and her flashing eye sparkled with the fire of contempt. A young officer—an American— who had been lately appointed, step ped forward, and modestly said: “I was only waiting for my seniors fo.yv.tb speak, senora.

The sun was sitting behind a bank slowlyrising clouds, which threat- fkness and a storm, moment that Iris"ser vices were _ ted, young Bennett tuyiied ; to crew, and, as he glanced over iein, said : ‘ ; ._G I want six mentoman the wkale= Wuta 3 ' boat that hangs at the after-davits!” Struck by his gallantry, nearly one half of the crew stepped aft—now that they had a leader, volunteers were plenty. Bennett glanced his eye over them, and in a few mo ments selected six whom heJknew to be bo: li daring and firm—they were American sailors. “Go sharpen your cutlasses,” said he; “I shall not have a musket or pistol in the boat. If we fight, it must be steel to steel and breast to breast—for we must succeed or die!” The men answered only by a look —for they were of that class whose motto is : “deeds not words.” • They hurried l>elow to obey his orders, while others proceeded, by his directions, to muffle the oars of the boat, and to put a.sail and water into it. One half hour later, the sky was ■ covered with clouds, and darkness.) hail set in. Bennett had been cure- j ful to take the compass course of the ! enemy’s ship when the last light of the dying day gave the opportunity j —and by this alone he hoped to find ; her. « At this time, the lady was on ; deck, standing by the binnacle-light, \ regarding The. preparations of the i little party* who were about to shove off. At the moment the boat’s crew j cried, out that all was ready for a I start, the young leader came aft to tin; side of the senora, and, taking from liis neck a miniature, lie hand- i ed it and a letter to her, saying: i i f I am not on board at sunrise, j , please to send the miniature, i letter to its address.” ■ ^ The senora looked at the por- j trait—it was the likeness of a young ' and beautiful girl. A tear filled the ■ s.nova's eyes.' “Ydtt need not go!" said she. •‘No, you love—perchance are be- j loved ! Tour life is precious—I will ; not expose it!” i “This is my only sister, whom I almost adore!’’ interrupted tlie youth ; "but one who would scorn j me if i played the coward, or dis- j honoreu my name ! Send the letter j and likene-s to tier if 1 fall!

A second more, and the brave boy j was down on the deck and at the cabin-door, which stood slightly open. He peeped through tlie narrow crack, and saw tlie red-faced old addmiral seated at his round table, with two of his officers at his side, engaged over the contents of a square bottle, which looked very like that usually The The Selioel Fund, following circular has just Agricultural Statistics of Georgia, j Fertilizers vs. Labor. | Lora Letters.—We hare been The last census shows that there I Cheap and efficient labor need not I requested to publish the following are 6,831,856 acres of improved,' be looked for in this country for a love-letters, so-called: ■ra* f'ij - - - - ' ' Madam .•—Most worthy of ^stjma- .1 • i • ... r . - ! the fundraised from the tax author- A / glance at a settee jist to the left : «e4by ‘An Act to provule for the of the table showed the object of his lament of the debt due to teachers .... . . ^ i • i i ' suhnnl nm/*/.»rc ti'lm rlii'l aavvn»o enterpns(\ The tia^, for which lie been sent to the various county treas urers by the State School Commis- 10 816,085 of unimproved, and about j hundred years or more to come.

The night was very dark. A calm r was on the deep amt m the air; bui j it was portentous of a storm. A | smaii binnaeie-light and compass had i been placed in thboat, and by these ! lieiinett shaped his course—himself i taking the tiller, and steering right out into the offing, regardless of the j coming storm aim rising clouds, keep- ; ing his eye steadily fixed on the com- j pass—knowing that if the vessel had remained hove-to at sunset, he must , be very near her. But lie looked in i vain lo see her dark lmll loom up in j the gloom; he looked in vain to see ; a ligut which might guide him to her. i But Admiral Brown was too old a ; fox to betray his position by lights, j At this moment, when lie was.com- pletely at a loss which way to steer, ! the dark elomls which had been j gathering overhead burst with a long, j vivid flash of lightning, and a peal of ! deafening thunder ; but lie-heard not ! tlie thunder, he heeded not the lis- j ing storm. That flash of lightning i had shown him the vessel, no [ ollc j cable’s length from him. “Steady, boys—steady !” he whis- ' pered, when the thunder ceased; “I j shall pull under her stern, and get j on deck by the carved work and net- j ting on her quarter.” The men pulled slowly and silent ly on; and as lie Had ^marked well her position, the young officer in a moment found himself close under the vessel’s stem. At this instant an other flash of lightning illumined the sky and water; and then, as he glanc ed up at the gaff, where the flag had been hoisted, he saw that it was not there—it had been hauled down- He paused, thought for a moment what could be done, and then form ed his resolution. “I shall go on board alone, men,” said he. “Keep the boat where she is! Ifthe flag is where I think it is— in the admi.al’s cabin—I will have it! If I am not back in five minutes and you hear an alarm, shove off and go back to our ship,' and tell them that Coclu ane Bennett died like a man! You must be cautious! Reef the foresail—for the storm will be down upon ns in ten minutes ” All this was whispered to the men,. whose hehds were leaned forward to hear the orders which they dared not disobey much As they wished to share their leader’s peril. Springing lightly from the boat, Bennett efiugh t the quarter-nettings with his-hands,' and noiselessly as- cended to the bulwarks. He could hear the regular tramp, of the deck, who, having already Ink} everything reefed down for the blow, had uoth- Tlie'crew did so, and the next mo ment tho little boat was living'on towards tlie harbor, before the blast, like a sea-bird winging its wav to its young one’s nest. The enemy opened a harmless fire of grape-shot in the direction ; but it only served to tell tlie anxious watchers on board of Commodore Coe s Vi ssei that something had oc curred. Tliodntter, therefore, at once show ed lights, .and enabled our young hero to make a straight course for her. It was but lialf an hour after the first gun had been fired by Admiral Brown’s vessel, when the boat of the vouug hero rounded to alongside of liis own ship. “Have you captured the flag?” cried the senora, as Bennett bound- : t i ie ‘ tlix collected^ about $70,000,- i straight supple backs, ed over the side. i 0l)0, exclusive of interest.
