They were to nave been ntarried Thanksgiving 1 evening. Why cynlln’t he have had even common luck, and made a fair passage? Joe Thurso or Sam Andrews, who wore not half as careful as himself,-.were‘probably off Moutauk Point by this time, ni.d here ho was, south of Hattoras. halt his.crew down with fever and ague, a whole suit of sales blown aw Ay, his cargo of fruit probably rotten, sttid the wind hauling to tbe nortlTard all the time, with a strong prospect of another gale. It was too bad—‘too deuced bad!’ ho added, with an emphasis almost allowable under the 'circumstances, .as ho glanced tit the compass. ‘As unlucky as Arad Thorpe,.’ had passed into a proverb in his native town of (.'overly. And yet he was prudent, energetic and smart. Ho always made money for his owners; •>t however much ho might lav by for himself, was sure to bo, in some j miforseen manner, 1 .s|. The Hatnmerton hank, wherein he had deposited a thousand dollars, had suspended payment I'l.n for of the 1 fume Savings instil ute had ‘defalcated,’ leaving him a loser ,ol an equal sum. His little house on Elm street was burned in li is ub - settee, tho insurance policy having expired a day or two before. He had been knocked down am) robbed of bis freight money in Panama. A H of which events, occurring at differ out times, had come nigh to make ’Arad a fatalist. ■ . But, thanks to Jessih Banks, his betrothed, ho had kept up a good heart, and his courage had won from. Banks, / '-re, tlm promise that if he brought homo tlneohundred dollars ns his own share of the trading voy - age in tho O tribeftn son, ho should marry Jesdc, without further notice, on tho coming Thanksgiving even mg. This voyage ho had made some sncce-sful ventures, which had net ted him .about throe hundred and fifty dollars, said sum being locked up in his dfisk below. ‘How do you h ad now Jerry? was his querry for the twentieth time; and the tins'llisfactory answer,. T. tat-north -< est, sir,’ c .used an l ira ulation of impatience to escape’him. ‘Breckoy Joe much sick. Ho want med’eino,’ was the salntxoTj which met his ear, as a tall powerfully built sailor, a Spaniard, accosted him. Ho lmd slapped liis crew of four men and second mate in .Tumaca, id a rascally-looking set. tliey were though up to this time they had done well enough, and now that two of them were ■ sick, tho remaining two had done double duty; so that Arad had begun to Think. very well of them. Taking some quinine from the medicine-chest, he wont, forward, and enteting tho little forecastle, which. was dimly lighted by swinging lamps lie was about to proceed to The bunk of the supposed sick man, when L{i was suddenly seized from behind, a blanket thrown ‘over his head, and almost before he could think, was hurried to • the rail, over which He was thrown in an instant. Tint. Ai ad, like yll ('overly hoys, was a perfect water-dog; and after coming to the surface, he blow the water from his mo th, worked off his boots got himself out of his pea-jacket by dint of much squirming, and wiping the spray from bis eyes as he rose on tho crest of a wave, he had the cheer ful satisfaction of seeing the binnacle light of his vessel appurrantly half a mile distant, and rapidly growing fainter. ‘My luck” was on his tongue, as he struck out, with a vague hope ! of keeping himself afloat till morning; and then' Jessie’s last words eurne to 1 his mjnd; ‘Be sure, Arad; and do all you can ; God will do (.lie resf.’> With.an inward prayer for help, i he resolved to make a struggle for life, though ho felt his chalices wale j infinitesimally small ; -and, by dint lof husbanding his strength, the I morning light its it dawned over the ! turbulent sea found him cbiLled to '•the bone, exhausted and fainl, but ! still swimming. j On, how eagerly, ns it grew light : fit, did he look, for a- welcome sail 1 And, rising-on a crest ol a wave, his heart came almost into his mouth; for not a stones throw distant was a little hermaphrodite brig, under | short sale Muring down upon him. ' | ‘Hilloot>a Eho shouted, with all j his strength! ! Surely tiny must hear lyiin; but no answering lufe came to his listening ears, and in another moment, io his surprise ntid|horror, the brig’s course was altered, juid.sho headed in an - other dircetiqi, though Arad could seo that her yards with untouched -being, iu faty, braced iu an oposite ! direction. ‘S imotliing wrong there I’ lie thought; and, as it was his last uktlnoo for life, with a desperate oils orgy he sought to intercept lit i Bourse, when suddenly her soles were thrown aback, and for a moment sao. drifted down towards him as though he> had l/oeti seen and measures ta ken for his relief. As she neared him, he managed in a roll of sea, to seize bno of the raainohain plates, and with a final effort, ho swung himsalf into the rig ging and over the rail, whory ho sank senseless oil tho deck, tbiuk'ing dim-- j ly how strange it was that no living soul was in sight. When ho recovered from his stir nor and K '-Llv vi'imw) el ....... ~n lie saw the wheel was lashed lead-a ■ port, and the stern boat gone from her davits; and it 11 islu-.l across his miml that the biig had been deser ted—a fact which a.voyage of invest tigutiou into the cabin eenlinneil. An open elf art whs lotitul on. the fl >or, whereupon the vessel's course from a little island in the YViedivurd group has been traced, aud further extwninatiou of her papers and leg. I took showed her to ho tho Spanitlr brig Don Carlos, bound from Jucand with In x sugar ‘to'anv port north of HaUer-.s.’ Arad.s mind was made up on the instant. Ho sounded the pump’s well, found nine inches of water th rein, aad, having refreshed him self Iron the steward’s pantry with Spanish tortillas, he stripped and went at it till tho pumps siieko 1. Then he loosed the lower sails fere and aft, sheeted tic m Icon ; with inlabor, a H ired the yards, and went aft to the wheel. The wiicld'.-cl hauled to the south west; a glance at tho but imeteer showed that the mercury was rising; and, with high hopes, Ar id b-ig.n his voyage ‘to a purl north’ard of Hat I eras. •Oh, if T could?’ was tho only .thought which he dared to give vent, to; and though it. did not seem an impossible feat if the weather held f dr, lie did not venturu.to carry his liopeful'anticipatiens furl her. For four days aud nights did lie stand at.the wheel, only lo.ivng it for his hastily-matched teed’, or 'to change the position of the yards, ex cept as ho was obliged to tako ob nervations; and his heart beat high' its on the twenty-fifth of Ivavo.iiher he sighted land, which ho know, front his course oh the chart to bo Sandy Hook.. Two hours later, pilot-boat No, 2 was alongside, and three men sent Oil heard, when his story waS heard Anri then'Ante! laid down fora little nap, which lasted precisely thirty six hours; and when awoke, fho little bldg, under lo ver topsails and I jib, was rounding tile light at tho hi- j trance of Ciiverly a.uber, ‘.idi half-a | gain of wind bloving nsferif. ‘Luck was with you this time, sir,’ I said Joe Carter, cue of the pilots, as tho anchor chain ran rapidly out, ! and the little vessel swung roun/l in j the wind. ‘ln three hours more you j will see it blow great gurus.’ ‘God was with me, I think,’ said Arad, reverently, as they went aloft snugly stowed the sails, which, as Arad usdd to say, was not milch for >et*4lian a b.nidana handkerchief. Old Bunks rowed out is his dory, as was his custom at evoyy new arm-, al. ‘Wliat. in the dance 1’ was liis lucid remark, as he stalled at Arad. And then, • Humph ! Lost your vessel, I s'pose? Picked up by this here brig, and come liome without any -roentry. ‘Jfember vhat I told ye when ye went away!’ Arad rjunouibered it very well; and whoa he went on to tell Banks, | pirr, that it was he that had picked up the Artg, that she was sugar laden | and that his share of salvage money would probably be it nice little sutn, Banka embraced him raptuously.and •j-sard: I ‘D'idt’t I always tell 5’ ot b Arad?’ Arad didn’t lvn'cmber anything of the kind; but theu, it is neither po lite nor politic to contradict 'one's prospective father in-law, so ho said nothing, and accompanied tfio old man n .shore, where, after meeting Jessie with a raptuous embrace, he said: •You know it was to be thanksgiv ing evo, dear ’ And it was. . The mut-inerri managed (-■> run his schooner ashore on iVukcd llul Bars, Gape Cod, and, hr obedience to retributive justice, were drowned; which, as the owners got tin excellent insurance on the vessel, did not seem to cause general grief. After the usual vexatious delays consequent upon such oases, Arad received something like eighteen th. usand dollar.-; as salvagir.mopoy A New Mul Law.—--Thera is a lie* mail regulation which is now strict.y enforced. .Matty merchants ’have expressed dissatislaction at the conduct of route agents when they were really only doing their duty.
