off Chatterton landing, where there is no wharf. The
passengers and freight for that point was being dis
charged by small boats at the time, and one host had
been lowered when the flames burst forth. The ves

remains but the broken shaft and smokestack.
THE PASSENGERS BEQISTEBID
when she left Washington numbered 110, but she re
ceived and discharged passengers at various landings, '
of which there was no record, and there were proba

unknown. As soon as the flames were discovered, she

before I left the boat I heard a lady, Mrs. Taylor, of
Alexandria, crying for help from the rear of the ves

a boat to her rescue and saved her. I am satisfied that
the excitement caused undue loss of life and that every

in a quaint sort of way, inquires why it should
be a reproach to be called a second-hand
swain, and goes on as follows: “The title is
a patent of nobility—a token that the pos
sessor is desperately in earnest. It is a sigh
of courage, a proof to perseverance. Nor
can it be said that new things are always the
best. That depends, we know, on the quali
ty of the article; whether it is made to sell or
made to lost. Many a second-hand thing,
although somewhat battered and bruised, is
more highly prized than its tawdry, flashy
neighbor, which will fall to pieces as soon as
any strain is put upon it Repairing
broke* hearts is seldom either ex
pensive or difficult. Horrible, but true!
“How often does a man marry the woman
with whom he first fancies himself in love ?
Adam did it. There was only one woman in
existence. Smoe the Adamitic age, where is
the man who hAS married his first love ? It
is not in nature. Boys are slower of develop
ment rhan girls, and their first essay is gener
ally with a charmer older than themselves.
They grow out of it; take a slight attack of
love as they take a whooping-cough aud
measles. It is foolish to say that the mature
love of a man is less worthy than the spooni-
nesq of the boy. There is a Dora and an Agues
in well-nigh every life. Is the first novel, or j
