A STORY OF THE TKOCBLKS IN 1812-13.
In tho year of 1813, while the British
fleet waa blockading the Chesapeake
Bay, the schooner Ruby, laden with
flour and bound for Boston, was lying
in the Rappahannock river, waiting for
a chance to run the blockade and get to
sea. Captain Handy, a native of the
State of Maine, was a shrewd, practical
man, full of energy and pluck, and equal
to any emergency. At this time ho was
right in the prime of life, being about
40 years of age.
One stormy night the “Ruby/
shrouded in mist and almost impenetrable
darkness, passed nnheard and unseen
tho vigilant blockading fleet, and the
morning found her well out to sea,
veiled in thick, but friendly fog. For
four days she hod light southerly winds
and foggy weather. On the morning of
the fifth day, Captain Handy judged
himself in the vicinity of Montauk
Point, and indulged the hope of reaching
the Vineyard Sound in safety. But he
was doomed to disappointment, for as
the gray dawn began to appear, the fog
settled down on the water, disclosing
above the mist the looming spars and
rigging of an English seventy-four, not
209 yards distant.
Too late to escape. The loss of his
vessel and introduction of himself and
crew to the horrors of a British prison
seemed inevitable. As if to dispel the
last hope of escape, a thirty-two pound
ball with a frightful and unearthly
scream shot across the bow. Interpret-
iugjthe fire os a command to heave to,
tho topsail was promptly thrown back
and the flyiDg jib hauled down to await
the coming oi the ship, which very-soon
ranged np a short distance to windward,

See or nddrees, J. M. llARDIN, by a boat from the ship In charge of
fjau8-’83-Iy] Canton, Geevgia. the first lieutenant. All of the Ruby’s
crew, with ihe exception of Oapt, H.,
were convoyed to the ship, while two
midshipmen end four seamen wore trans
ferred from the schooner, with orders to
proceed at onoe to Halifax. The two
vessels Boon separated, tho Rnby sailing
toward Halifax, and the ship to ooutinno
her cruise off Now York.
Oapt. Handy soon began to task his
brain to devise some plan to retake the
schooner, of which he was a large owner.
The captain’s pleasing address, inimita
ble manner in which ha rotated his stir
ring personal adventure as a pioneer on
slioro, and as a seaman along the const,
and the deference he paid to tho young
officers in command, resulted in quickly
gaining for him tho confidenoo and good
will of all on board; and Inst, but not
least, ns a reconciler of hostile feelings,
a jng of Jamaioa rum did very mnoh to
wash out from the British hearts the
bitter national prejudice which was at
first entertained against the Yankee
prisoner.
The morning following the capture,
the Ruby passed tho south shore of
Nantucket. At this time it waa blow
ing hard from the southward, the vessel
was put under short sail, tho appetite of
tho midshinmou for Jamaica rum in
creased with the galo, and after numer
ous unsuccessful attempts to quenoli
their thirst, they booame very drowsy,
nnd when Capt. H. very genorously
offered to stand their watch, they made
no opposition. As soon ss the oflloerk
were asleep, tlio crow were invited to go
nnd do likewise; an invitation which an
“old salt” never hesitates to accept.
Capt. H. on taking oommand,
changed the oourso of tho vessel from
cost northeast to north northeast, which
was continued till late next morning.
As the vessel was running at least ten
knots an hour, the oaptnin wont far on
nfs way literally rejoicing. At eight-
IvcIIb when they came on deck tho next
morning, tho Ruby was running again
cost northeast, and so continued during
the day.
As tho following nignt closed in the
wind was still blowing hard, now from
the south southeast a heavy sea was
running and the thick fog rendered it
impossible to discorn any objects half a
cable length distant. In view of those
facts, and knowing Ills oloso proximity
to tho shores of Maine, Capt. H. ad
vised lioaviug the schooner to under a
double reefed foresail, giving as a roo-
hou that as they were approaching the
coast of Novia Scotia, it would be very
dangerous to run further iu the dark
ness. His advice was accordingly acted
upon.
As the morning dawned, an island
covered with trees, its shores lashed by
the broaking waves, wus discerned only
a short distanco to leeward. Thorn was
no time to bo lost; tho jib was hoisted,
tho helm put hard to starlioard, and tho
vessel falling off before the wind, ran
around the island and came to au anchor
in a quiet land-locked harbor, The
island, so ditulv seen through tho ruin
ana log, was not recognized by Oapt.
H., though he well knew ho was some
where on the coast of eastern Maine.
Boon a boat containing two mon came
alongside. Capt. H. saw at once that
its occupants wero old acquaintances,
whose silence ho soourod by signs and
gestures, aud managed to inform them
of the situation of affairs without excit
ing tlio suspicions of the Englishmen.
He Was iuformed that his vessel was
lying in the harbor of Littlo Kennebec,
an inlet within the limits of the Town of
Mnchias.
The visitors under the direction of tho
Captain, gave the midshipman to under
stand that they wero in a snug harlmr,
and only a short distance from Halifax.
The officers, taking their own boat
and two of Iheir own men, invited the
Captain to accompany them on a stroll
on shore. On lauding they walked some
distance from the boat, when Oapt. H.,
wlro had loitered behind with two
Americans, who had accompanied them,
proposed that with their assistance he
would recapture the vessel.
This proposition was assented to.
Suiting the action to the word, they
turned and ran to the shore; hut tho
officers quickly discovering the flight, a
very exciting race commenced then and
there, each party making almost super
human exertions to be the first to reach
the boats. The Americans came in
ahead, having the Btart of the English
men. To throw the oars of one boat far
ont in tho water and jump into the other
aud shove off from the shore was only
the work of an instant. To pull for the
vessel at the highest rate of speed attain-
able was the next thing in order,
Tho officers finding themselves out
witted, began hailing the vessel with the
intention of arousing the two men-on
board, and warning them of tho impend
ing danger; but the men were below,
and before they reached the deck, the
indomitable captain with his followers
were on board. Seizing the two pairs of
making belligerent demonstrations, the
Yankees compelled tho English soRmen
into an immediate surrender.
' Very soon tho middies came pulling
off using two boats thwarts in lion of
oars, Cnpt. H. promptly challenged
theia and told them they could oomo on
board only to make an unconditional
snrrender of thcmaelves as prisoners of
war, which alternative they accepted
without parley. Two honra after they
were duly put into the custody of tho
commander of tho fort at Machlasport,
where they remained until exchanged
ali i sent to Halifax.
' A Romance of the Flood.
HOW A CALIFORNIA MF.t'HANlO SAVED A
FAMILY AND GAINED A BRIDE.
| Robert Drn|>o was married to Guado-
lniie de Bandiul, iu Huorameuto city,
California. Under snoh an announce
ment rests hidden a gallant deed wliloh
Jins passed uuperccivod. It was during
the flood. A young widow with
her two children waa standing
on tho poroh of a house situated on
the bank of tho river, and there was no
escape for hor. Spectators looked horri
fied, lot the waters had completely sur
rounded the frail building, and the cries
of the poor littlo children and tho agon-
ising looks of the mother wore piercing
their hearts, but none would bravo what
appeared to he certain death, to rescue
tne unfortunates. A young mechanic,
brought to tho locality by curioaity, ap
peared among tho spectators. Realizing
the danger, and divesting himself of his
surplus slothing, ho plunged into tho
turbid waters. Soon he reached the
doomed building. To strap tho children
on his back and seize the mother in hia
strong arms, was bnt tho work of a mo
ment. Boon he landed them on tho safe
ground, amid the plaudits of tho crowd,
and as he assumed hia outer apparel the
house disappeared in the roaring waters
of the river. Tho gratitude of tho
S ther fonnd vent in tho flowing lan-
ige of the natives of Spain, and onr
boro, who oonld only guess at the mean-
ol theamwinal words, read in tho
eyes of the Guadalupe inoipient love.
Hia blushes wore a response to this lan
guage of the heart, and, moved by an
irresistible impulse, they flew into each
other’s arms in words, for ho understood
not her laugungo, nor did she know his,
but by look, and the pledge was ratified
in the presence of Father Peter and a
crowd of mutual friends.
Good IliisInoHH Rules.
THE 1IDM0U0US PAPERS.
Business men, especially thoso who
me prompt and methodical, are guided
by certain olemontary principles. In
some coses thcHO principles are formu-
lifted into simple rules, which cover
even the details of oonduot.
A prominent New York hanker attrib
utes his success in business to tho core
with which ho has obeyed thoso plain
rules;
Tako time for eating, sleeping and di
gestion.
Don’t worry. Be satisfied with your
work, after doing it well.
Never ask another to do what you
ought to attend to personally.
Shun the slightest appearance of dis
honesty, as you would shun tho plague.
Always meet your appointments on
time. Never late. If possible, not
much ahead of the moment.
Don’t talk too much. Let your ac
tions speak for yourself.
Be honest, even if you Iobo money
by it.
Never let business interfere with
home dnties.
Remember that money alono cannot
buy peaoe, nor true friends, nor a loving
family.
It is refreshing, in these days of spec
ulation and dishonest dealings to know
that a man can live according to tho
abovo principles and yet make money..
It shows that honesty aud business car
go hand in hand.
Chicago’s Conspicuous Horsewoman.
Chicago has a young horsewoman
who goes in for uorrel color oi a bright
shade. Her hair is bleached to exactly
match the steed. One day she wore a
jockey cap, under which, the reddish hair
was cropped close, in a boyish fashion,
and the tail of the horse was docked,
thus making a harmony of style. On a
subsequent occasion the girl s hair fell
in a fluffy mass down her back, save
when speed or wind raised it. It was
obvious at a glance that the enormous
abundance was false. The horse pre
sented a more difficult problem. His
tail nearly touched the ground. Was
this another horse, or had his tail been
braided tight ? Neither. The long tail
was false.

THE OLD 1'IK STORY.
A party of young mon wont camping
cut iu tho Maine woods. Ono wns
selected to cook, aud it was agreed that
the first man who complained of tho
ouisiue should assume tho duties of cook
himself. Tho faro was simply atrocious,
bnt all held thoir peace with an effort.
Ono day somo pie was brought that was
thought more villainous than anything
that had gono before it. The mail at
the head of tho tablo lookod around
upon tho faces of his companions, and
it occurred to him that a condition
nearer akiu to rebellion wns piotured
upon tho fuoo of his viH-a-vis than upon
tho countenance of any of tho other un
fortunates. Addressing him, sweetly,
he said: “What do think of this pie ?’’
With the utmost emphasis tho reply
came: “I think it is alrout the moauost,
moat infernal and contemptible pio that
I over ” And then tho recollection
of tho agreement rushed noross tho
speaker, and with a boamiug oouutc-
nnnoo and tone of domonlao delight, ho
hastened to odd: “But I like it,"
