CARRIED HITH THE
CIJR REM.
BY "HOWARD WAYNE.’’
“He-00-pe-e!’’ “He-00-pe e 1”
The cry rang out on tire night
air. I aroHe, went to the door
and listened.
‘He-00-pe-e!’ ‘He-00-pe«e!’ came
the halloo once more.
Sure enough, thero wan that
well known call of a traveler for
the ferryman.
I had tied up my “flat” at suns
down, fully determined not to
cross that swift, swollen siroani
any moro tbai night. I had gone
Up to my cottage after a tnurd and
dangerous day’s work—carrying
paHigmgers from one tide of the
mad waters to the other—and now
as this distressed cry saluted my
ears, I folly resolved not to re
oross the liver again, but to allow
the passenger to remain on the
(opposite hark til) morning.
Ordinarily, the river was- not
wide, bfit at all timen swift and
rugged, and the swiltness aud
rnggedness increased until they
culminated, ywo miles below the
f &r*4, in the Sepulga Falls. These
fa*ls weoe ops woipu
the waters and no one
would think of descending them at
such a time.
ash, rails, logs and trees had
been coming down the swollen
stream al[ day—dislodged by the
tremendous sweil-r-and'it was nec
essary tr. each trau. dor/ation to
stekr clear of all such obsticles, as
their luoiuautum uMepi everyt'dng
betpro them.
The night wa° intensely dark,
ami who could expect a ferryman
to rocrosß the river undei such
circumstances f
The hallowing continued, but I
had made up my mind to leave the
passenger alone, and to retire for
he night, when mp nephew pro
posed that we should go to the riv
er and let the traveler know the
utter impossibility of crossing be
fore morning.
Securiug a torch, we proceeded
to the river, and walking to the
other end of the pat, inquired the
urgency of the case, and also stat.
ed,bow hazardous it would be to
attempt to cross—perfect madness
to risk our lives op such waters, in
such a night! We learned from
the wayfarer that liis mother lay
at'he point of death, that he had
received a tnojsagfl a few hours
since requesting him to make aTI
speed in reaching her bedside, and
that it was his mother's wish to
sey kei sou 'ere she dlhcf. We
knew the family, and also that
what be said was true; for tl e fain
lly lived in tne village, aud we
knew that they had been expect
.eg his mother to die for some
time. With these facts berora us
how could we resist such an appeal?
And with ether stubborn facts in
sight how could we venture upon
that mad, roaring river? A few
o s.inest words in consultation wit A
my nephew, and our minds were
made up.
We would stem the tide, and
risk our lives in endeavoring to
bring (teorge Melver to the bod
side of his dying mother ! Why
not cross and recroiy the roaring
waters ns 1 had done many times
to day. in perfect safe(y ? Why
nqt intrust everything to Him who
could carry us over safeiy ?
Wiihon/ one has been so situat*
od it is impossible for him to judge
of the which sti* one’s
breast wuen on the point of uude r
lakhig such a hazardous enter
prize!
“Pop ! crash! thud I’’ goes the
timbers as they rub ami strike
against ot or in tbeir mad descent!
Nothing daunted, we luosed the
flat, seized the rope and pulled oef
into the stream- Our light had
been blown out, and we were in
-Egyptian darkness.” No moon,
no stars; but sombre, threit- ing
clouds seemed to rcich aiuicst to
the water, and to ehvelop avery
thing in a mantle, grim and ter
rible!
Hy the clanking of our chains
tho anxious, waiting traveler knew
that we were coming, and encour
age;! us to move as rapidly as pos.
cible across the stream, as, iu tbat
event, v>e should be more apt to

With what tei ribleAfr-locity we
were pr.ipelltd on to our fate, by
