THE WRECK OFTHE SALLY.
BY IT. 0. UODUE.
I am the Captain of the flno canal boat
."Hally—No. 462,” my wife is ttrst matu
end our baby is the crow. The "crow”
isn’t big enough to steer the mules yet
or throw stones at thorn when they stop
to dine on tho bushes along too tow
peth, hut ha can do his share of yolllqg,
and, as the mules think the yells nro for
tbelr benefit snd start up a little whoa
they hear the disturbance, tbo "crew”
earns hie salt.
The cargoes wo carry are of coal from
the mines, and our trips ofteu extend to
the seaboard, where wo sen tho ocean
blue in the distance, while tho Sully lies
moored to tho dock.
Sometimes, in late fail, while anchored
thet way in suit water, tho cauitl will
freexe over so wo cannot gut buck, and
we are then forced to spond tho winter in
or on the edgo of tiie city, for we, of
course, live aboard our boat, as wo own
it.
My first mote onjoys this hugely, as
she has been told it is quite fabionable
to spend the cold weather in town. It
also gives her an opportunity to go a
shopping, hoar tho opera, and atteud
identic lectures—sumo os city women do.
I take much pride in sailing our mule
yacht, and many a raoo I've run and
won with her by sneaking post tho boats
nhead of us while tboy wero heaved to
for the night.
Folks think a canal bont sailor is
inmething to mako fun of, and they
alwaya liko to get off their littlo jokoa
about getting wrecked in a storm on
the mgiag canal. They take delight in
shaking of tho larboard mule and the
itarboard mule, and like to ask if we
have had a spanker-boom ou deck when
ever they see the baby.
They like to callout “Breakers ahead”
when the mules stop to kick at.n
and "Low bridge” and "All hands to
the pumps," and "Let gu tht main
<v sheet,” nod VWeigh anchor, ’ nod other
Vidlouious things.
& It makes my first mate *nnd when
The Bally is treated with disrespectful
levity, aud sometime* I lose my pationco,
too, but the baby dou’t mind it, so
after all, what difference duos it do.
‘ If the small boys cutcbing catlish out
of tho canal think it is smart to display
their igntrance of seamunsbin iu those
ways, or if tho grown up people attempt
to show off their nautical knowledge in
; such ailly manners, they can. But if
they, knew that Tho Bally had really
been to sea in a raging storm aud prop
erly wrecked and that tlioso aboard only
aVed their live* by a thorough under
standing of v/hat is required in such
emergencies, tho laugh would bo on
them and not on the captain, first mato
and crew of a mulo yacht.
Two years ago wo were spending tho
winter on Tho Sally moored alongside
one of the great coal docks of Jorsey
City opposite Now York.
Our smalt cabin was handsomely deco
rated by my wife and in it we wore us
cosy nud comfortable as possible. Tho
baby was then about teu months old,
and in his hammock cujoycd life im
mensely. Tho mules wero snugly
stabled iu the forecas’l after the coni lmd
been taken out aud extra planks laid on
the floor to prevout their kicking u hloo
in tho bottom, and everythingJooked
favorable to all hands leading a serene
-'''land happy existence aboard till spriug.
But "Man proposes aud Qod dis
poses," as the saying it.
About the middle of January a terrific
wind storm set in, blowing great guns
from the northwest and e^ery day get
ting worse.
The cold was intense, the mercury
going to fifteen and twenty degrees be
low rero.
Forty degrees below in tho Western
States was hot along side of it, for the
damp, chilling air of the coast eats right
into the vitals and freezes the very mar
row in the bones.
Keeping warm was out of the ques
tion. If we could keep alive was enough
to be thankful for.
The ever increasing and colder grow
ing gales had raged for a week .without
a lull, and the fearfully angry wavos iu
the bay were leaping mountains high
and causing destruction and wreck all
around.
Old sailors who had lived at sea for
years said they never saw the ocean any
worse. Ships were dragging their an
chors and dashing ashore by dozens aud
many lives wero nightly lost iu vain
ado its to save the vessels.
I had stout and extra lines from our
flash water boat to its dock, but in spite
of them our frail and unworthy craft
was wrenched and tossed till I began to
fael we bad no business to risk flaying
aboard while the storm lasted,
My wife wouldn't listen to our leav
ing tfctt only homo we had, aud vowed if
1 talked of deserting The Bally again eho
would liond a mutiny to prevent it. Ho
both of us, being only Iresh water sail-
ors and knowing but little of the force
of a salt water storm, settled down to
remain aboard in aplto of the warnings
given us by men on tho dock,
It was on the fifth night of the awful
aud almost unprecedented gale and the
chilling cold was at its lowest point, By
stuffing ell the crevices of our little cabin
room and keeping the stove red hot we
made out to bo comparatively comfort-,
able. Baby was sleeping soundly in the
middle of a big foathcr bed ou the floor
and in his warm nest was happily ob
livious to tho tempest and arctic tempera
ture outside.
By BDd by without undressing at all
and in fact putting on overcoats and
wraps wife and I laid down and triod to
sloop and forget how tbo gale was shriok-
iug In the black night without and bow
our boat was creaking and straining and
tossing on tho rough waters.
Th* wind nnd tho rocking of our craft
after a while made us sleepy and soon
wo wero slumboring os soundly as tho
baby.
I was dreaming of shipwrecks nnd
drowning when suddenly I awoke.
It seemed as if our boat was pitching
harder tbnh over and being battered and
knocked about frightiully.
The nolso of the hitting against the
wharf aud the creaking of ropes I missed.
I got ou my foot and managed to get to
the little window and peer through tho
frosted glass.
The city lights had vanished and noth
ing but iutenso blackness met my gaze.
Something was wrong I knew. Mount
ing the ladder stairs and Opening our
little hatchway door I looked out. We
bod broken Ioobo from tile dock nnd
wero flying before the shrieking galo and
the huge waves to almost certain death.
Where wo wore—what to do I knew
not. I quickly roused my wife and told
her of our danger. Mow bravo nnd how
cairn she looked. Mor courage made
mine.
Leaving her to bundle things on tho
baby aud prepare for what was to hnp-
pon, I stuck my bond outside again to
try nod discover n way to safety if there
was ono.
We wore drifting rapidly across the
hoy, and no far, luckily, had nut struck
an nnchored vessol.
Behind us I could sea the distant and
disappearing lights of Now York City.
In front Llio light-house on Mobbin'i
Iteof. am! boyond that the lights on Stater
Island.
If wo wore not carried out. on tht
ocean through tho Narrows—if wo dii
not cotlido with a ship or strike the reef,
we probably would bring up against
some dock on Staton Island—providing
our frail and clumsy craft lived to get
there.
As soon as we struck anything, ]
realized too surely that in a moment's
time after the crash wo must founder nnd
die.
Our only chance, then, was to bt
ready to leap, if possiblo ou the object
wo should dash against, and trust Provi
dence for tbo rest.
The Sally had whirled arouud, nnd
was rushing stern foremost through the
thundering billows, and I hoped when
wo struck that end on which wo wero
would hit first. If it didn’t, no uso leap
ing, for wo never could all of us make
our way over tho ioy, slippery two foot
wido deck on tho boat's side to its other
end. - .
Passing a largo ship so close that
i thought our cud had come, barely
missing tho light-house roof, wo wort
fast approaohiug Staton Island—and tho
Narrows.
For a time It looked certain that we
would bo swept aeaward'aud surely per
ish—then wo switched around and wonl
before tho wind straight for tho island
docks. Five minutes I calculated
and our fato for life or death would bt
sealed.
Getting a rope I placed our darling
baby, laughing aud crowing at the ex
citement, on Its feather bed, roiled tht
soft bail ontirely around it, trusting it
wouldn't smother for awhile, and bound
tho precious bundle firmly with the rope.
Taking it in my arms, bidding my brave
aud quint wlfo to bold mo aud follow I
galuod tlio stern,over tho slippery boat's
deck.
Thank heaven, wo wore still stern
foremost—dashing straight ou a dock.
One more moment of suspense and
horrible droad—then with a crash that
smashed tiio boat under us liko mi egg-
sliollj wo hit tho wharf.
At tho same instant, before tho wreck
could rebound, I flung bed nud uaby on
tho dock, seizod my dear wife's baud
and leaped for lifo.
Wo laudod safoly alongside our child
—then down under the raging waters
plunged our good boat, drowning the
awful cries of tho poor mules loft ou
board.
Cutting tho ropes to givo nlr t.o our
babe, blowu along by tho blasts behind
us, wo reached laud and a house nnd,
scon inside, found shelter and a warm
welcome.
We also found Tho Sally after the
storm was over, raised aad mended her,
and non- she is ns good as over for fresh
water sailing, which she menus to stick
to for the baianco of her days.

INDIAN CORN OCR BEST FEEDING CJtOr.
Notwithstanding all that has been
claimed for various fodder erops from
time to time, the fact remains that Indian
corn will produco the most eattlo food
per acre of nuything that we can grow.
The man who combines livestock with
general farming is foolish if he does not
arrange for a liberal crop of this. If
used in connection with a silo the com
field will accomplish its Very greatest
good. One advantage of tho silo is that
it furnishes succulent food to mix with
othci dry fodder and so make the latter
more palatable.—Neu> York Observer.
i'OFCoiur.
Popcorn growa well undor lfluch the
same conditions of soil nod climate as
are required for the field and garden
corns, but should bo planted apart from
either to prevent intermixing. The ears
should remain on the stalks until the
kernels ate entirely mature aud should
be thoroughly air-driod and preserved In
that condition until wanted for use. As
its bulk increases enormously by tho
popping no family will require a lurgo
amount of ears,but care should be taken
not to store them in a damp place. Ono
way in which they may be preserved is
by stripping off most of tho outer husks
and druwing back a few of tho inner
ones and laying them together in bunches
of convenient sizo for linnging up.
Where this is not practiced, tho cars,
either wholly or partly husked, maybe
put into baskets and hang suspended in
the corn-house or barn or from tbo ceil
ing of any dry Btorago room. For per
fect popping, corn should bo a year or
more old end caro should bo taken to
keep it whero mice cannot reach it, and
suspending it in some of tho ways pointed
out will secure tho two essentials of »
thorough air drying and protection from
the depredations of the small rodeuts.—

KN8II.A0K FOR STEERS.
Lo Grand Cannon, iu some remarks
before tbo Now York farmers, gives
Valuable information on his success in
fattening steers with the assistance of
ensilage. Ho took three sets of steers,
ninety animals in each lot. Ono lot was
allowod to run out of doors nil winter
just as tbo average Vcrmout farmer treats
his steers. The two other lots wero put
under cover and fed aliko, e.rcopt that
ono lot got ensilage and the ottior a peck
of mangels per head a day. Iu the
spring the butcher was allowed to select
fifty bond at six cants a pound. Ho took
every head of tho fifty from out of tho
ensilage fed lot, and would not givo five
Cents a pound for the others. Not only
wore the ensilage lot carried through tho
winter cheaper than the others, but they
improved so much iu quality that they
readily sold better. This is tho first
contrast wo have soon in feeding for beef
between ensilage nnd roots, Can it bo
possiblo that tho former is so much
superior to t.ho latter? AVo have ulways
been told that the English, the greatest
feeders In the world, pin all their faith
to roots, aud hare ensilage knocks them
out the first time. Cannot some of tho
stations continue Ibis experiment?—

SETTING AN Atm ORCHARD.
In setting out a young orchard of
apple trees, wo consider two rods apart
each way, or forty troos to tho acre, is
ouough, and unless tho lnud was vory
rich w* should prefer thirty foot. It
will then be many years before they will
cover tho ground, and when they are
very uonr that point the limbs can be
clipped at tbc end to keep them from
interlocking. Although there is con
siderable difference naturally iu tho shape
of the trees of different varieties of
apples, we should have thorn at uniform
distances, unless there were enough of
the very upright growing kinds to mako
au orchard by themselves, when twenty-
eight foot apart might bo far onough.
By cureful and frequent pruning of small
limbs, tlley can bo trained so that the
upright growers will cover more ground,
aud the spreading sorts be made more
compact. Homo who set trees at tho
above distances place plum, peach or
quince trees among them at fifteen feet
apart, so that there may be three of the
small trees to onch apple tree. These
small trees are expected to mako their
growth, bear crops for a few years, and
be ready to bo cut out when the apple
trees require the room.- Do not allow
the young apple trees to branch too near
the ground; four feet is low enough, evou
for those varieties whoso brandies have a
tendency to grow nearly upright, nud five
foot is not too high for the Baldwin, not
high enough for those, like tho Greeniug,
which are inclined to beud downward.
In these, care should bo taken by prun
ing ou the under side of tho limbs to pre
vent them from hanging too low down.
The advantage gained by shndiu’g tho
tree trunk is more imaginary than real,
and the less exposure to the wind is not
important, or may bo overcome by a
wind-breaking hedge, whilo tho advan
tages of having the limbs high enough
so that the horses can go under them
when plowing or mowing are very real,
as is also that of being able to turn sheep
and swine in when desired, to oat tho
fallen fruit, without having tho limbs
when loaded with fruit hang where they
can pick the fruit from them. There is
no better crop to grow among young
trees than corn, but potatoes can be very
well grown, and beans. Avoid crops
which need to be very heavily manured,
at least until tho trees get well to bear
ing, as too rich a soil makes the young
wood grow so rank as to be liable to be
winter-killed. Also avoid crops which
demand too much moisture lest thov cause
the trees 16 suffer. After the young or
chard has become an old orchard in full
bearing, clover or grass may be grown,
snd the land mado rich enough to sus
tain both crops.—Boston Cultivator.
It is more speedily available, if the bones
are ground fine, but if you have no mods
of grinding them, they are none the less

After a quantity of bones (say a buck

Discovery is the medicine to help
you. You know that it’s guaran

purifier is.
If it doesn’t benefit or cure, you
get your money back.

to sell. He offers something else
that’s “just as good.” Ip it likely?
