DRIVEN OUT TO SEA., About fifty miles above Sidney. Aus tralia an Euglish gentlemau named Howe, a retired civil officer, had & fine ! place directly on the sea. This was twenty-five years ago, and the place mty have passed through half a dozen hands ! since. It was a villa or country seat aud farm combined. Howe was rich, but he raised fruits, vegetables, hay aud wool ! to sell, and he was |rt owner in a small brig which called in at intervals to carry i on r stall! away. On my first, voyage in with this brig the gentleman took a fancy : lo me aud hired me to work ashore, and i 1 had been with him three year* when the distressing incident I am about to relate came about. Howe owned a pleasure yacht hut as he feared the sea she was seldom used, j Wheu she went out I had charge of her and could run her very nicely with the help of a boy. We also had several row boats. and there was scarcely a pleasant evening that I did not row some of the family out. There was a Hue bay in front of the farm, and uidss the weather was very boisterous this water was always safe. On the evening of December 10, 1866, the brig came into the bay to load with cargo, and she anchored almost opposite the house. She had a fine new vawl, in which the Captain came ashore, and it appeared that Howe and the women folks were greatly taken with it. Early next tfiorning i was told to get this yawl ready for a sail down the bay to the small island, where a picnic dinner was to be eaten. The party, when ready to start, consisted of Howe, his wife, and an eighteen-year-old daughter named Bessie, .a miss of thirteen named Ransome, who was on a visit, and little Ben Howe, who was only five years old. Two ladies from j the next fann above were to have gone with us. but a merciful Providence de tained them at home. It was touch and go whether we should make tht trip u ithout them, but it was finally decided to go in order not to disappoint the vouug folks. I had fillet! the water key and taken a big lunch basket aboard, and when we moved away there was just breeze enough to fill the sail and jog us along at about three miles an hour. A more 'perfect morning I never saw, and the oldes sailor- could not have suspic ioned a change, W-e reached the island ali right, re mained there until 2 o'clock v. m,, and then start'd for home. At about 1 ■>'cloctk the sky hazed up and the wind died almost away, and as the tide would begin to run out at 2 I became somewhat * axiom. My sailor experience warned me that there would be a change of wind and weather, and I was impatient to get away. One trifle and another detained us until the hour named. The people enjoyed themselves immensely, and it was not for me to say when we should start, although I did throw out a hint or two that I suspected a change of weather. All were in good spirits when we finally got away, and as the yawl was a good sailer she crept along at a fair sy)eed un til the wind suddenly fell as flat as you pleased. We were then opposite the ocean inlet, which was a mile broad, and we began to drift out with the tide. 1 had a pair oars in the boat, and Mr. Howe took one and I the other and we pulled away to cross the space. As he was not a strong man, aud had had no practice in rowing, we made no gain, .nd, to make matters worse, he lost his oar overboard and it was swept away. We were three miles from the brig, and I was getting ready to hoist a signal when the sky darkened up with a sort of fog, shutting us in, and the wind breezed up directly off shore. Had it not beer for the strong tide I could have beat back into the bay, even in the fog, but I was soon compelled to tell Mr. Howe, that we were being drifted and driven out to sea. The news at ouce unnerved him, aud his words and demeanor alarmed all the others, who began wailing and lament ing. Little Ben was an exception. He was not only too young to understand tho danger, but he enjoyed the novelty of the situation. He crept back to the stern-sheets, stood between my knees to steady himself, and whispered; “1 shan’t cry, Jack. Only I wish my dog was here!” After we had driven over the bar, which always forms at every inlet, the breeze freshened still more, and I had to run off before it, although 1 double reefed the sail. Had I attempted to bent back to the coast line I should have got among the rocks aud reefs which lined it for miles and miles. There was room iu the iulet to beat up against the tide, but it was now so dark that I could hardly see the bow of the boat, aud I had no compass and could havo ruu only by dangerous guesswork. In heading dead out, to sea I expected nothing worse I than to have to pass the night on the water. By morning, at loast, the brig would know that we had met with a piece of ill luck, and would stand out to pick us up. And, too, thj wind might go down with the suu or veer to a favorable quarter. Therefore, while Mr. Howe cursed his foolishness in ever step* ping foot into the yawl, and White the i women cowered and wept, I was eitoour- I aged to hope that everything might turn 1 out for the best. At 5 o’clock by my watch, the face of which I could hardly see through the gloom, the wind was blowing a topsail breeze and the sea getting a Hasty roll. : Every one but myself became seasick j aud fell on the bottom of tho boat, and for the next three hours I heat'd nothing ! hut cries and groans of distress, The I real darkness had come now, and t could j not see half the length of the boat. 1 1 held her steady ns she went, And was ! gratified to find that she made goo- 1 work j of it, and did not have to be Wat -hed as closely Asa larger boat might. It was i about 9 o’clock when Mr. Howe roused i up and crawled aft to me. He was in despair, but calmer than before. I made light, of the adventure, ;re lictiug that we would be back at the farm before noon,next day, and calling his attention to the splendid behavior of the beat, and after a little he seemed to have hopes, i suggested that we have a bite to cat, and he got the hamper of provisions. It con tained wine, cake, crackers, cheese and i meats, and also two candles, which had j been taken along to explore a cave said to be located on the island, but which we did not. find. We got A light, I roused up tho others, and after we had i broken our fast all felt more Cheerful, j Had the women been of common sort I j should bare known what to say to brace j them up, but they were aristocrats, tender ; as spring flowers, and a bit of hardship I was calculated to u;>set ’em. I made an j attempt to belittle the situation, and de i dared that, it was nothing buv an uu | pleasant adventure, and after a bit they ' all got some courage aud began to be ; more hopeful. What worried me the most was the fact that the wind kept : getting stronger and strouger, and by 11 ! o’clock the yawl was humming through j the yeast like a man-of-war in a gale. I ! knew we Were going out into ti;, Indian Ocean at the rate of fifteen miles a.i hour, : and that if the wind held as it was we’d I be at least a hundred miles off snore by sunrise. If it got up much strou ,or I'd have to bring the yawl about head on, no matter what the risk, for she wss now j rolling gunwale down and on.y just • keeping ahead of the rollers. I got the women folks to lie down in tiro bottom of the boat, and then had Mr. Ho.ve pass I me the single oar, a piece of board which j I little Ben had put iu, a bit of two four ! i scantling which was under a than:,, and ; a water pail. While still hold; > the | yawl dead before tit" wind I tic 1 these | together for a drag, told Mr. Hwc to attach them to the boat's paint. -, and i by midnight was ready to bring he. head | on. It was time. The wind was now blow j ing half a gale, and there was danger j that a following sea might break aboard I and fi,l us. I did no: tell him vhat 1 , proposed to do, fearing he would become ; nervous and rattle me, but I ouietly j waited for the right moment, se k him to the bow to throw out the draaud j when I hauled sheet and put tiller over I could feel my heart in my throat. She hung for a moment, and ever, soul aboard screamed out iu terror, but the 1 crisis jiassed, and as she settled into a ! hollow she was head to the gale, aud the ' drag was holding her thus. I then ex- j 1 ained to th people that nothing more could be done, and that they might as j wall lie dowu. When they ware dowu Ii got out an old oil-cloth and covered them from the flviug spray as much as possible, and then took iny sea: amidships to use the bailer. I did not rest over five min utes at a time from midnight to daylight, aud when day finally broke aud I looked about me. my heart was like lead. The gale still held off shore, with no sign that it might change or abate, And the ocean around me was ft boiling cauldron. The yawl was riding like a cork, however, and the only water taken in came from the wave Crests broken off and hurled at us by the wind. When the people finally crawled out I hardly knew them. All were pale, hollow eyed, and despairing, while Mr. Howe had a look upon his face which made me stare at him. It was a look of mortal fear and desperation, and I realized that his mind was going. The pooi women didn’t seem to notice it, having so much trouble of their own, but little Ben did, and he crept over to me and whispered; “Please, Jack, but you won't let papa touch me. will you?” I began to call out in a cheerful voice that the gale was abating, and that we were all right. Howe only looked at me in a cunning, crafty way, as if he medi tated some trick. I got out the pro visions, roused up the women, and forced them to sip the wine and eat a little. The gentleman refused to partake with us, and by aud by tho woroeu began to no tice his strange actions. This brought about t climax. [ saw him looking stead fastly at his wife, and I carefully moved nearer to her. One of the girls changed her position further nft, fearing that a struggle was about to take place, and I turned aud extended my hand to steady her. A I did so Howe uttered a sort of scream, sprang upon and seized his wife, and, though I clutched her skirts, the fabric tore, aud both went overboard and out of sight in an instant. Neither one rose to the surface, or, if they did, they were far beyond reach. The sudden and awful tragedy deeply affected us all, and the girl’s flung themselves down and oould not be roused up again- until after noon. Ben didn't realize it so deeply, buf it was like a dagger at my heart to see him sitting with closed eyes and white face, and Ills lips framing the words of the Lord’s Prayer now and then. At uoon the wind and sea began to go down and the sky to clear up. The gale had blown itself out, and I now consid ered it only a question of time when we should sight the const. The better state of affairs brought new life to the girls, and I was glad to have them rouse up and show some signs of life. A rough man like me is no real comfort to one iu distress, but I did the best I could, and fin ally got theminterested in the question of saving themselves. By 5 o’clock I got in the drag, shook one reef out of the sail, and stood off on a southwest tack, but before I had made five miles the wind died out entirely and We were left tum bling on the last of the sea. Night came on as mild and balmy as you please, the ocean grew quiet, artd every one of us lay down and slept the whole night through without a break. I was the first up, and the minute I saw the sky 1 groaned in despair. It portended a hot day and it deftfl Calm, and both followed. Even befbre breakfast l had to make a shift tO get some shelter from the blazing sUh, aud when I came to overhaul the provisions iffy face so betrayed my feel irtgß tlißl the younger girl cried out; “<)h! Jack, but whit has happened now?” I could have eaten and drank all we had ju five minutes. I had not filled the | water keg to its capacity, and even some that 1 did put in had leaked out by way of the bung. Ihal to tell the n that we must put ourselves oa allowance, and hki'dl.y more than u crumb at that, but they Cheerfully accepted the situation. I ant not going into the details of the next week; F'of seven successive days we had dead calm dr a contrary breeze, which was of little use t<- help us beat up. We spuu the water ilnd provisions out for four days, and then yve had nothing left. By resorting to those expedients known to sailors we kept hunger and thirst in abeyance until the evening of the sixth day. Then tin three wailed and wept, and I took off in; cowhide shoes and cu. one strips fo. us to chew at. There was some sligiil relief, and the three only call" l out iu their troubled sleep a few times. We had only the leather all day o. the seventh, and on the morning of the eighth, al though a favorable breeze was blowing, and yve all felt in better spirits, Iha :< cut up the other shoe. Little Ben yvas now reduced to a bundle of bones, and ho had the glassy eyes which go with a fever, while the girls were burned and freckled aud starved until I could not bear to laok at them, Both were looking ahead iu a vacant, uncanny way, and Ben was rest ing in my arms yvhile I steered, when wt rau suitlght across the course of a trade: coming Un from New Ecland. and were picked up. Being a young man, and a tough one, it wasu ta fortnight before I was my old self again, but the girls and the boy were down with fever for a month or more, and yvere a whole year in being restored to health.— 2 Veto York Sun. I’ractreal Joking in the Army. Ttao burup of fuu is exceedingly well 1 developed in the average soldier of the regular army. They are constantly on the lookout to play some pranks oa their comrades, and when found out or dis covered it seldom, if ever, results in a row, for all concerned take it good naturedly and yvait their time to pay back in turn. One Sergeant seat a raw, verdaut recruit out on a dark, stormy night with a lantern to see what time it was by the suu dial. The poor fellow stood in the rain for half an hour, and then it sud denly dawued upon him that he was being made a fool of. The next time dress imrade was formed the recruit got even on this l,ttie joke. He surreptitiously placed a big rooster’s feather in the apex of the First Sergeant’s full dress helmet, and in this condition the latter marched on parade. --Whats that y-u have in your hel met?” sternly demanded the' Colonel. “Nothing, sir. answered the frightened Sergeant. Dicipline was lost for u moment, for down the whole line could be heard a titter of merriment. The viotiru saw there was something wrong, and removing his hat for a moment, he discovered the feather. No more jokes were played on that recruit i aim ward by anybody. BUDGET OF FUN. HUMOROUS SKETCHES FROM VARIOUS SOURCES.

Primitive man, being by nature a fight ing animal, fought for the most part at firs; with his great canine teeth, his nails ' and his fists, till in process of time he added to those early and natural weapons ! the further persuasions of a club or shil lalali. He also fought, as Darwin has conclusively shown, in the main for the | possession of tin; ladies of his kind against ! other members of his o vu sex and species. ! And if you fight you soon learn to pro tect the most exposed and vulnerable portion of your body. Or i? you don’t natural selection manages it for you by i killing you off as an immediate conse quence, To the boxer, wrestler or hand-to-hand combatant that most vulnerable portion jis undoubtedly the heart. A hard blow, i Well delivered on the left breast, will easily kill—or at any rate stun—even a strong man. Hence, from an early period men have used the fight hand to fight with, and have employed the left arm chiefly to cover the heart and to parry a blow aimed at that specially vulnerable region. And when weapons of offense aud defence superseded mere fists aud teeth it is the right hand that grasps the spear and sword, while the left holds over the heart the shield or buckler. From this simple origin, then, the whole vast difference of right and left in civilized lise takes its beginning. At first, no doubt, the superiority of the right hand was only felt in the manner of fighting. But that alone gave it a ; distinct pull, and paved the way at last for the supremacy elsewhere. For when i weapons came into use the habitual em- I ployment of the right hand to grasp the 1 spear, sword or knife made the nerves or muscles of the right side far more obedi ent to the control of the will than these of the left. J The dexterity thus acquired by the ; right—see how the word “dexterity” im plies this fact—made it more natural for i the early hunter and artificer to employ the same hand preferentially in the mau , ufacture of flint hatchets, bows and ar ; rows, and all the other manfold activities !of savage life. It was the hand with j which he grasped his weapon; it was, therefore, the hand with which he chipped it. To the end, however, the right re mains especially “the hand in which you hold your knife;” and that is exactly ■ how our own children to this day decide the question which is which when they begin to know their right hand from their left for practical purposes,— f 'um j hill Magazinf Powell’s Practical Business School.
