MoEi.iionk. 1 MAXWELL 1)11). . yon’ Mux well did; Imt first, • yon ought to Unpw something nhont him. He's n of old Sawyer, tho vicar of Mid- ..'dhlmin. At tho time Maxwell cauiu to Sawyer ho had but ono other pupil, a lull, young fellow called Denton, moat y abominably conceited, and no favorite with ne. I don’t know what Denton ” did, except dinv.llo about nnd gossip, for ho had aa genuine a liking for seati- dal na any woman in tho place. Some how or .other ho gave na all a general impreaeiou that the now pupil, Maxwell, waa a regular milknop, freali from hia mother’s npron-atriug, and np to none of the ordinary purauitaof other youtlm. Seeing tho sum pica wo had already had, this was good nowa for Uh eldern ; but, of courao, auch a character did him no got id among tho young ladiea, and tboy need to pitv one another when Maxwell fell to their lot at a dinner party or dance. He certainly hnd very little to • nay for himself, and wus uncommonly shy, and was, therefore, a great contrast .. ter Denton, who yonld have thought nothing of strolling up to her Majesty at a levee and advising her to let Bucking ham Palace. It this way it got to ho considered that Maxwell waa a muff; and na ho did nothing partionlar to re move this impression, it olnug to him until the incident took place of which I am going to toll yon. “Well, thinga went on very quietly until last January. Denton had taken to patronising Maxwell before people, and often hinted that, but for him, thnt unfortunate youth would he alwaya get ting into scrapes, and ho took* much credit to himself forlaking the trouble to look after so young and inexperienced a lad. It was on the 20tli of Jnntiory thnt these two fellows hnd been dining with un, and it being a fearful night,«vo had persuaded thorn both to stay all night, a tiling they were often in the habit of do- iug, and 'whiob, we know well, would givo old Sawyer no anxiety. The wind hnd been blowing pretty stiff nil day from the north, and toward evening it had voored round to the enat, and onmo ou to blow a regular golo, “ I had been asleep for nhont two hours when Mary awoke me, and said she had hoard tho front door bell ring ing. I guessed at onoe what it was. J find given directions to the fisherman to send tip to tho hall wheuover there was n ship on shore, and I felt certain thnt Ibis was a message of that import. Ac cordingly, I slipped op my dressing- gown and went down to Iho door, and, without opening it, asked who was there. “ ’Tom PnrVfs,’ was the nnswer. “ ’What is it, Tom?’ I said. “ ’There’s n ship on the Black Steel, sir. ’ “ ‘God help them then !’ was mv first ejaculation. ‘I'll bo down direct y, Tom,’ I said, nnd went up-stairs to dress. Be fore doing so, however, I thought that • these two lads might possibly liko the excitement of tho scene, and so I went into tho double-bedded room where they wore sleeping. Upon hearing my errand, Denton said that lie had n cold, and that ho had seen wrecks before, and (lint he thought ho wouldn't come; but young Maxwell immediatt Iy began to dress, saying lliul ho didn't think he could sleep comfortably, knowing that prob ably some unfortunate sailors were per ishing so near to us. “ 'Will they be able to do anything for them, do you think ?' ho asked me. " ‘1 fear not, ’ said I. ‘The life-boat won’t have a chance in such a sea ns there must he, and I fear she may have struck too far off to he reached* by s . rocket. But be quick with vour tilings, and we’ll go down and see.’ . “In five minutes we were both down at tlio hall door, well wrapped up in pilot-coats nnd mufflers; and good need we had of them, I can tell yon, for the moment we opened (lie door the wind nnd rain rushed in with such force as to nearly blind ns, and it required all our united strength to shut it again. Having’ at last, however, done so, we turned round, and faced the tempest. It was, in truth, a fearful night, nnd we could scarcely make any way against the wind, which blew, certainly far stronger than I had ever known it do before. We linked our arms together and managed at last to get down to the beach The night Waa so dark that we could see nothing from the fishermen's oottages. “Where is she?” said I to an old man who stood at one of the doors. “ ’She’s on the south side of the 8 toe,, sir,’ said he. ’They’re trying tb reach her With a rocket froto the jetty end.’ •'Hurrying to the end we found a tol erably large group of fishermen sur rounding the two coast-guardsmen who had charge of the rooket apparatus. “ 'Do yon make anything of her, Harvey ?’ anid I to one of the coast guard, who lived in the village, and who was a great ally of mine in fishing and bopting expeditions, “ ‘Well, air,’ svitl he, '1 think she’ll lie a big French lhgger that Was knocked about, off and On, thin afternoon. I said when 1 see’d her I wouldn’t give much chance for her getting into the harbor. It’s so fearful tlnrk, sir, that wo can scarcely make her out a hit; bnt I fancy I picked out three masts, such as them great ugly French colliers have. We’ve missed her twice witli tho rockets —they both fell to leeward of her, but we'll allow enough for thin ono, sir.’ “Ashe spoke they got ready to fire another roeket, and this time, aa far as they could gnoss, it went right over the unfortunate vessel. We had now begun to got our eyes accustomed to the dark- nosa, and fanoied that we could mako out a black, shapeless mass shout fifty or eighty yards before us. We could hear tho cries of the poor fellows on Imard olearly enough, aud tho crushing, grinding Bound of the vessol on tin rooks; nnd by the latter sound we knew that, nnleas,something was quickly done, tboy would all perish. "Just then, to the great delight of ns all, some one on lioard fixed a lantern in tlie rigging, aud by its light wo could see that the coast guard had been right; in their conjectures, and that it waa one of those largo, unwieldy luggers which trade between our northern ooal ports and France. At last, after what seemed to us an immense time, we could just make out that a man waa getting care fully over the aide of tho snip into tho cradle, and, pulling the rope, ho earne toward us ihto the darkness, and in a few minutes we were able to haul up upon tho ' jetty a miserable, half-drowned Frenchman, who-. very soon hnd the nock of a bottle of better cognac than he had'ever before tasted thrust into hia month. “Off wont the cradle again, and hook it returned with tho snmo result, until we soon had quite a little Frenoli colony, shivering and slinking on the jetty lie- side ua. There only remained now the Captain to be brought off; and, to onr very great oonstornation, we made out from one of tho erow that he had an nounced hia determination to stick by his ship and Wait Until mornibg, when he imagined tho sea would go down. Bis reason for this was an idea lie had got into his foolish head, that upon his leaving hia deok he loat ail claim to hia vessel, whioh at onoe became the prop erty of perfidious Albion, and oh tliia unsightly old lugger was hia solo menus of subsistence he determined not to give her up. “It was a marvel to all the expori- enoed sailors ou tho Jetty that she should have held together so long as she hnd done, nnd she was expected to hrenk np every minute. What waa to lie done then for tliia foolish old Frenchman ? Was ho fo bo allowed to perish with her or oould anything bo dono to oompe 'lim to save hia life ? “We did not know what to do nnd lie- gun to think thnt lie must ho left to his fate, when one of the fishermen was hoard to sny to another: “ ‘If some fellow, now, had (lie plunk hr go off and fetch him ! If it Wasn't i'or the wife and bairns, I'd go.' “ ‘And what would he the good of thnt,’ snid another, 'when Von can't jabber a word of bin confounded lingo?’ “There waa a pause; and then, to my consternation, I heard a quiet voioe at my elliow aay: “ ‘That’ll be the only plan. I under- Rand French, and will go off to him nnd explnin the matter. ’ “ ‘Yon, Maxwell ?’ I said. ’Sinff and nonsense, my dear fellow 1 I won’t nl low it for a moment I' “ ‘Exouso me, Mr. Jormyn, bnt I in tend to go. Tho last time they prac ticed down hero I went off for fiiu, and there’s really no more danger now. It's only the dnrkneas and tho rain nnd noise thnt make it appear a rather perilous undertaking.' “ ‘No, I’ll bo lumped if you shall go I” said I. 'Good gracious me I are you to risk your life Incatisc n confounded, I luck-headed old Frenoli skipper chooses lt> he an obstinate old 'm'ttlo ? Besides, you sha’n't do it, Mnxwell, I tell you.’ “ His only reply was the taking off his watch, which he quickly handed to me. “ ‘The wet will injure it,’ snid he. “'Now, Maxwell, do lie reasonable,' said I. ’For goodness’ sake don’t do this foolish thing. It’s all very well be ing Quixotic, and all that sort of thing, but there’s a limit to that, nnd this is lieyond it. Come, let’s go home ; we can do no good here.’ “I give yon my word, Fred, thnt I was never so miserable in my life lie- lore. Here waa a boy who was virtually, if not notually, in my oharge, going into the most fearful danger, and I was powerless to stop him. If anything happened jto this l>oy what was I to sny to hia parents, nnd whnt would they aa’v tome? Yet entiling wo could aay would prevent liim f. < .n going. “We oould just make out thnt he had reached tho vessel, and then a vory long time went by without any sign whatever. Tho excitement in all our minds, and in mine especially, was painful in the ex treme. The coast-guardsmen, old ex perienced men-of-war’s men, nmi tho fishermen, were all in n state of wonder that the vessel hnd held together so long, and we all expeoted that every minute would be her last. At length’, after what seemed to be at lenstan hour, but which, I fancy, conld have really been only ten miuutes, we saw a man get over the side of the vessel, and soon the ugly cause of all our anxiety—a fat, pudgy, elderly Frenchman—was hauled I on to the jetty; and if he did get a little roughly handled aud shuken in getting him clear of tho ropes, why I don’t I think ho was much to be pitied. ! “ J need not say that the oradle wus ! sent off again aa quickly as possible, and wo saw, to our great delight, that S : Maxwell was getting into it. We to haul witli a will, but all of a n tho vessel seemed to collapse and go to pieces. A great cty arose from all on the jetty, when, to our infi nite delight, we heard Maxwell’s voice o’ose to us. He had just reached the jetty, When the rope gave way, from the vessel breaking up; bnt be dung tightly to it, and in a moment he waa pulled up among us, and waa almost devoured by the delighted fishermen, who crowded round mm to shake hands and ply him with brandy, " It WSs Undoubtedly One of the nar rowest escapes that was ever heard of. I f he had been a couple of feet further off when the rope gave way, nothing could have saved him, for the waves would liuvo dashed him against the jetty aud killed him, hut be fell just clear of the sea, and we had him up before one oMlie large waves could come.” 1 left Coxton the next day, but thotlght ihe story of "Whnt Tom Maxwell did” worth record, so hear it is. A Story by Iran Toiirgenieff, When I was in Ht. Petersburg, many years ago, I always entered into a con versation with tho driver whenever I hired n sledge or droschky. I preferred to ohat witli tho men who drive at night -jioor peasants from ilie neighborhood, who hoped by means of their rickety sledges and Wretched hones to earn enough to feed themselves and pay tin tax to their masters. I once drove with ono of those men- a young fellow about twenty, tall and handsome, a powerful youth with blue eyes and ruddy cheuks, whose brown locks curled under the patched cap pulled down to his eyebrows. How the torn coat kept on his broad shoulder* waa a marvel. The hnndsome, beardless face looked sad and gloomy. I began u conversation with him. His voioe, too, aoiindod sad. "Why are you not more oheerful, brother?" I asked. “Have you any Borrow ?’’ Ho did not answer immediately, At last he Imrst out: “Yes, sir, I have- I could wish no ono a greater one. My wife is dead.” "8o yon loved her?” The youth did not turn, only nodded. "Yes, sir—I loved her. It’s eight months ago—bnt I can’t get over it yet. It gnaws at my henrt continually. Why need she huve died ? Hhe was young and healthy. Tho cholera came and killed her iu one day.” “She waa a good wife to yon ?” “Oh, sir," the poor fellow aiglied heavily, “we were so united ! Hhe died in my absence. When I heard here that she waa already lmried I hurried home to tlie village. When 1 arrived it was after midnight. I entered my hut, Btood still and whispered softly, “Mas cha; oh, Mnsoha! ’ but only the crioket obirpeil, I began to weep, threw myself on the ground nnd bent the earth with the palm of my hand, ‘Insatiable gulf,’ “I smd, ‘thou bust swallowed her, swal low mo, too I’ Oh, Mascha I Maselia I” he lidded again in a low tone. And without dropping the reins he wiped a tear from his eye with his mitten, shook it off, shrugged his shoulders, and did not utter another word. WheuT got out I gave him a fee. He seized Ilia cup witli both hands, made me a low bow and then trotted slowly over the snow-covered street, wrapped in the dreorv. gray January fog. City Patronage.

One time, while enjoying a visit from mi Englishman, hiokory nuts were nerved in the evening, when an English friend called for salt, stating that lie knew a ease of a women who was taken violently ill by eating heartily of nnts in the evening. The celebrated Dr. Abernetby was sent for, bnt it was after lie bad become too fond of bis cups, and he was not in a condition to go. He muttered, "Salt I salt!’’ of which no notice was taken. Next morning lie went to tlie place, and she was a corpse. He said that lmd they given her salt it would linve relieved her, and if they would allow him to make an examina tion he would convince them. Ou open ing the stomach, tlie nuts were found in a mass. He sprinkled salt on this, and it immediately dissolved I have known of a sudden death myself which appears to have been the effect of the same ennse. I generally eat salt with nuts, •ii-il consider it improves them.—Ger- ‘ Iantoum Teleyraph.
