PROSPECTIVE HISTORY.
Our equipment was the same as.be
fore, except that half of us carried a
single 10-pound bomb instead of three
5-pound ones- We followed the shore
on the southern side of the bay as fai
ns Dalkey Island, which borders it in
that direction. About a mile in the
offing were visible the lightsofa large
steamer, the first of the line. We
knew that the next one lay two miles
beyond her, but from that distance we
could not make out her lights. Ar
rived ata point almost directly above
the vessel, I halted my little party and
explained my plans, which were ex
ceedingly simple. One of the men,
bearing a 10-pound bomb, was to de
scend cautiously until he was near
enough to drop his burden into the
funnel, after which he was to rise up
ward again as fast as possible. The
rest were to remain in readiness to
repeat the manoeuvre if it should fail
the first time. The man selected at
once began the descent, and for a few
moments we strained our eyes through
the gloom, vainly trying to follow his
movements. Presently a slight rattle
was heard; there was a bright flash
and a stunning report. The bomb
had missed the funnel and exploded
on tbe deck. For a few seconds there
was dead silence, then a confusion of
many vuccs; then a shot was heard, a
rocket whizzed up past us and burst
into a thousand points of dazzling
brightness, which lighted up with
noonday clearness an area of more
than a mile. In the unearthly glare
we could plainly see our comrade has
tening upward to rejoin us. Before
the intense brightness had gone out
there was a second repot t, anol her
rocket came hurling and screaming
right among us, and burst into great,
blazing stars above. The effect was
indescribably magnificent, but sadly
disconcerting to our plans. We were
confused and daz z led, and must have
been plainly visible to those on board.
“Scatter, men, scatter!” I shouted as
a third rocket came almost in the
track of the second. It was plainly
impossible to remain where we were;
but in spite of the flaming, sulphurous
masses that were falling like a rain of
fire around me, I balanced myself for
a moment while I found with my
p'umb line a point exactly ever the
ship. Then I loosed my 10 pound
shell from its sling and dropped it.
I heard the crash of it fall upon the
dock, and a deep muflled explosion,
which told it had broken through and
burst below. I did not wait to see
the end. but, striking off at* my ut
most -peed, I blew a shrill blast oa my
whistle to rally my followers, and held
my course toward the next ship. It
was easy now to make out her exact
position. Evidently aroused by the
commotion, though probably not un
derstanding its cause, she was throw
ing out luminous shells on the side
nearest the land. Each of these,
bursting at a loftv elevation nt a dis
tauce of about half :t mile from the
ship, diffused a bright light over the
water, by which the distance of a mile
might have been distinctly seen. The
rattle of a drum beating to quarters
came across the the water, and it was
clear that she at least would not be
caught napping. But while within a
wide circle all was bl ight as day the
vessel herself lay beyond the darkness,
now denser than ever from the con
trast. Her lights had all been extin
guished, and the only clues to her po
sition were the frequent flashes of her
mortar and the dull reports as shell
after she'd was scut up. This was the
very thing we wanted. The darkness
in which she was shrouded was neces
sary to our success, while the intensity
of vigilance with which her crew scan
ned the surface of the water prevented
any eye being turned toward the sky.
With a low whistle I brought ull my
men around me, and, in a lew
words,[directed one who carried a
large shell to descend low over the
vessel, and make quite sure that it
dropped into the funnel. lie was
then to shoot away to the dark side as
quickly as possible. The rest of us
ascended to a greater height, keeping
as directly over the doomed ship as
we eould in the darkness. For a few
minutes, which seemed an age, we
waited, looking down. No grander
or more striking spectacle could be
j imagined than met our gaze; the
quick flashes of the mortar, the in
tense blaze of the bursting shells, the
quivering light reflected from the illu
minated circle of sea, and in the dis
tance the rockets which the other ves
sels continued to throw up. The third
ship was now burning lights, too, and
so brightly was the surface of the wa
iter displayed that even so small an I
object as the head of a swimmer must I
have been seen. But we had not long j
time to admire this brilliant display, j
We could not follow our comrade’s '
■ movements iu the darkness which for- [
, innately enshrouded him; but after i
; some minutes of suspense a deepi,
■ thunderous sound was heard, followed,
' -iftcr ? few awful moment*, bv loud.'
confused shouting, fhc firing ceased;
the light of the last shell went out
like a dying lamp; and through the
darkness a horrible, rushing, gurgling
sound came up to our ears.
“That's the last of her,” said one of
the men, in awe-struck tones; “I guess
that shell has blown a bole in her bot
tom. Say, Captain, shall we go and
try the other one? We may as well
make a complete job while we’re about
it,”— Modem Dadalus.
SAVING FALLEN WOMAN.
The Florence Night Mission will hold
an anniversary to-morrow at the Univer
sity Place Presbyterian Church. This
institution is now in its second year and
it has proved to be one of the most use
ful of the charitable institutions in the
city. Its work is confined to tbe reform
ation of fallen women, a subject which is
Btron-. ly forcing itself upon the attention
of philanthropists.
During the past year there have been
350 women admitted to the Home on
Bleeker street, of whom about 300 have
been induced to live better lives. Many
of these women have improved their con
ditions, in a worldly point cfview, to a
marked degree. Ten have got married
and gone away as the wives of farmers
and others to create homes of their own
in distant communities. Fir eighty sit
uations have been provided in this and
other cities and nearly 30 have been-we
turned to the homes of their parents.
It has been found that when these wo
men have been brought to a realization
of their condition and have ully grasped
the principles of religion they become
the most zealous ofChristians and lend
their assistance to the authorities of the
nission in extending their field of oper
ations and doing missionary work among
their former ass ciates.
Many incidents come under the obser
vation of the superintendent that are sad
and pathetic. There was one cr.-c during
the past year where a highly educate.:!
and cultured young woman, the daugh
ter ol a minister in i, distant town, came
to the city on a visit. Her father took
offense at her for some imaginary trans
gression, an 1 when she returned the door
of her home was closed upon her. At
first tempted to commit suicide, she
changed her mind and was about to adopt
a life of shame when the agents of the
mission met her ia a low concert hull,
where they arc cons' ant ly doing mission
ary work, and induced her to listen to
their good advice and enter tbe Florence
Night Mission. Surrounded by friends,
her early religious enthusiasm was soon
revived, and she banished all thoughts
of the life she was about to lead.
This is a simple of ninny i stances in
which girls have been saved when just
upon the brink. As a rule, the agents
of tfic mission have the assistance of tf<
keepers of the dives and conceit halls,
•n.d in this way their work is greatly fa
cilitated.
The special field of the agoets of the
Florence Nicbt Mission is upon the
streets at night and in the low et no rt
halls, whore the fallen women are most
frequently to bo mot with. A great
many of these women are f requent visi
tors to the home on Bleeker street, and
at one funeral held from there of a git I
who had died 213 atlcruhd.
At social gatherings at the home 200
women often attend, and during the past
year 9,000 have attended prayer meetings
there. Twenty-six girls about to adopt
a life of shame have been saved by the
agents. Nine thousand meals have also
been provided tit the home.
It can thus be seen what an instrumen
tality for good the Florence Night Mis
sion is. It costs about $4,500 ay-ear to
conduct. Nearly $1,200 wis raised by
voluntary subscription during the past
year and the rest furnished by its founder,
Charles N. Crittenden.— N 1. Graphic.
G HCSI I.Y VISITS.
There is an old house standing about
a mile from High Shoals factory, in Wal
ton county, now uninhabited and fast
going to decay, that bears a very uncan
ny reputation in the neighlorhood. In
fact, the most intelligent pe pie in that
community look upon it with horror, and
no amount of money could induce ono to
sleep in the house over night. Travelers
after dark will go out of their way rather
than pass the premises, while among the
negroes the excitement almost amounts
to a panic. The ,ast occupant of this
house was an old man who died some
time since, for be alone would consent to
brave the spirits, ami sleep under the
same roof with them. For years this
house has borne the reputation of being
haunted, and in the still hours of night
hundreds of re iablc witnesses attest tint
they have been aroused from quiet slum
ber by tbe strangest and most unearthly
sounds. In one room a mother can be
heatd rocking her baby to sleep and sing
ing a low, sad lullaby, doors are sudden
ly thrown open, persons are heard walk
ing up an 1 down the stairs, etc. But
nothing unnatural has ever been seen,
and when tbe haunted rooms aie invaded
with lights the most death-like stillness
pre vat s. A few years since a prominent
minister spent the night at this house
and ridiculed the idea of ghosts. But
the next morning he appeared pale and
haggard, and stated that he would not
sleep another night beneath the roof for
ail the gold in the universe. Families
I have moved in one day and out the next,
’ while visitors have left the house in tlie
! dead hours of right, being driven off
I through fear by' the strauge sounds heard

If we could know!
WScannot, darling; and 'tie better so.
1 should forget, just as I do to-day.
And walk along the same old stumbling way—
If I could know.
I would not know
Which of us. darling, will be first to go,
I only wish the space may not he long
Between the partim. and the greeting song;
But when, or where, or how we're called to go—
I would not know

any medicine that I ever handled. In one
case the constable for the precinct, has
been very sick and low spirited for a long
time. For several years he lias tried all
the doctors here, and we have some good
ones, and th -v did him no good. After
much persuasion I sold him two bottles
of Ps.rlna an.l Manalin. He took half
of the medicine. I could see a great
change in him, and now he is as sound a
man apparently as there is in tliis vicinity,
and he says lie is entirely well. He is
a number one man and is highly re
spected He is satisfied that your medi
cine saved his life, alter all the doctors and
all medicines bad failed. Being unac
