Albert Jennings, Jasper, ‘la.—Dea(^ Sir-: My wife had the fdver for U months, and I could get nothing to euro hor until re cently, when alio used a bottle of Rufus Phillips was an old friend and acquaintance of ours and knew our father before us. Oue of liis legs was several inchos shorter than the other, and on this account he was ex empt from military service.— He was one of those men who appear never to grow old, not withstanding the fact that scat tered among liis dark lmir was the frosty locks of many winters and no one guessing would have thought him fifty years of age, still he was, every day of it. During the fishing season his home was at Dcadman’s bay, or some of the (numerous) fisher ies along the coast of Florida.— Sometimes his wife and daugh ter accompanied him on these visits, leaving his home in Mil- con county in charge of a grown son, another going with him.— lie was a clever, whole-souled man, nothing he could do was a trouble if it afforded comfort to a fellow-being. With those explanations tlie reader is intro duced to the man who rescued us from our porilous situation on tho oyster bar, when the waves were rolling high and wo had to stand on tip-toe in order to hold our head above the swell ing tide. “Hollo, Jim, you dnrncd tool; what are you doing tliar, like a snag in tho water?” was the greeting we received from Rufus as he rowed up within twenty feet of us, and, resting on his oars, regarded us with a tuische- vious twinkle in his eves. “Do, Mr. Thillips, hurry up; there’s danger of being drown ed,’' we urged. “Mn. Phillips, I think I hear you say; if you wasn’t in water up to your neck, it would be "Rufc,”or “old Phillips,” I wa> rant you, but now its “Mister,” Ila, ha, ha! Did you sny you wanted to get in my boat ? if so, come on.” “Oh, Rti-Mr Phillips, please eomc ou; tho water is cold,” tve said, as we held out our hand, in abject dispuir. “Lay hold, boy, lay hold;” the kind old fisherman said as with a powerful stroke of the oars lie brought the bont along side of us, mid caught a hold with a lcech-liko grip. ‘ I was only teasing you, bov, you have always been kind and resjiectful to me, and it gives me pleasure to be tlie mentis of do ing you p kind turn,” said our rough old deliverer as lie pulled us into the boat. We told Mr. Phillips that wo had come to the bur for oysters and all uboat our troubles from which he had just delivered us, and shivering with cold wc took a sent iu front-of the old fisher man, while he sent the boat skimming over the. watdr-.jt.o- ward his cabin on the beach somo two miles away. The scti-gulls, fish-hawks and other sea-birds were screaming in the air, as they winged their tvuy landward, (a sure sign'of a coming storm) when, looking back toward tho sea wc could sec the tall, reefed masts of the “You have done u’good days’ work, father; where £(re tho boys that went with yoi cast a sympathizin' us as wc sat shiveriu “Bob Burnett pu per creek and Bill beynnd with good you needn’t be ’qtr the boys—I brought from the bosom of the sea, No!,” answered Mr. Philips, tyitlx a nod toward us. V.ii were the eohtesjSfiaitrae- tion now. Our friend told how lie had saved us from the water, how long he had known us, and how, in days “long Jieyaud” he had hunted tlie deer and. bear with our father, andJeonclutled his history of our life by saying wo looked “like a post stuck iu the water,.with ourSeycs stick ing out far enough to hail, water-bucket on.” His jests were cri we thought, still, we did, the vein of which composed his nature, we took all lio had toj-say with placid composure, jgrhcii his daughter Nellie can sat on a barrel, am both hands, said father’s jokes, but me and brother, and wp jvill give i put Oil. ling man , which pel much jtdgds-v.e ( dry ever L US, US .Respectfully-, \ S.

The clouds hung dark and angry over the see, while the wind roared and sighed as it rushed through the fan-like boughs of the low ’ palmetto treos. We bail oaten supper and were sitting by the fire .meditating over tho occurrences of tho day, when our host and his better half got into some dispute about tho number of fish caught during tlie season, and one word brought on an other until war was declared, and the two went at it, a regular “knock-down and drag-out.” Mr. Phillips was tho best man, and soon hud his hands full of her hair, while the woman was on her knees, screaming and but ting him in tho stomach. This tvns too much for us; we had never seen such a fight before, and interfered, and tbeta’s where we “slipped up,” for no sooner had the combatants be come disengaged vthun they botli had us down on the floor, and wo only escaped by ruuuing out into tho rain when Nellie opened the door. “Where is lie? show him to me!” old Rufe said os he made a Image at the door, after Nellie bad closed it upon oar retreat, “I will learn tlie young chap how to fool with mo in iny do mestic matter; I’ll fix him, con- sarn him.” So, it seemed, wc had l>eou saved from the water only to be beaten into ounce meat by our rescuer, still, we determined to were and said her father aud mother wanted to see us a mo ment. yV’o objected, tho girl plead, and our objection was withdrawn and we returned, , finding Mr. nml Mrs. Phillips ’ seated in front of tho fire from which tre had been so. uncere moniously hustled, tulkiug to each other as pleasantly as if n ‘war-cloud’ had never overshad owed their domestic peace. “You may have had it im pressed upon your mind, Jim,” said the husband r os we entered. t frgttjglt,. wHgjiiMt^lTlQT you————— “He’s no such fool, ns that, Rufe Phillips,” said hisMvife, as she moved .her chair to the opposite side of tlio room, “he heard you bellow when I buttod you iu the stomach, and you never saw the day you could whip tne, and- Slio looked at us and shook hor head and fists in a threaten ing manner, but tve said noth ing, only looked asjinnoccnt as tve could, occasionally casting a glance of appeal to Nellie, for vo felt that slio was our only friend, in the time of trial. “Come, mother,” said tho girl “leave father alono, now; lie’s sorry for’what he did, arid so are you.” “Yes, I am, old> girl,” Mr. Phillips said, “let’s he friends,” and he hopped over to where liis wife was sitting and kissed her. That was the last of the fight, and wc were glad of it. Not Shut we foared personal harm, for the reader has observed that wo wore capable oMpking care of oitrsolf. _ ' “Jinv'iloiPt you want- tQjjo bird hunting; it is not late, unit' ns wo liavo plenty of fish and bread, a low birds would not be out of place,” “IIow can wo hunt birds at night?” wo asked, suspiciously. “Ob, that’s easy enough; the clouds have gouo away, and wo can creep into a pigeon roost, only a mile or two from here, where we can kill thousands.” Preparations were soon made and started for tlio pigeon-roost on tlio river. Not far from the river was a dense thicket, sur rounding a spring (to which we had been before) of tlie clearest purest water, and toward this wo made our way. Entering the thicket we passed on into a clear space in tlio center, taking care not to make any noise, not even snap ping a twig, and when we had readied a certain distance Rufus told us to remain where wo were, he going beyond. In our hand we carried a long cypress pole, about the size of a good fishing pole, while our compan ions were armed in a like man ner. rf Tonic. I purchased a bottle Ipsed only a third of it and fed.
