Man Overboard.

were going to m.ko some arrests,
Just above Port Jackson the United

lost liis balance and fell overboard.
The afearner was slopped and a boat
was lowered and sent out to save tho
drowning man. But the unfortunate
Marshal sank, just before the boat
reached him never to rise again in life.
The cold waters of Ghattahooche

forever, for we learn that up to date
all efforts to recover his have

Many years ago a young man made
his appearance tit Stratford, and passed
n few weeks at the tavern, which
then existed to afford shelter to stage¬
coach travellers, Whence lie came
and what was his business none could
guess. Directly opposite tho tavern
stood the small cottage and forge of a
blacksmith named Folscm. Ho had
a daughter, who was tho bounty of the
village, and it was her fortune to cap-
tivate the heart of tho young stranger.
He told his love, said ho was travelling
incog., but in confidence, gave her his
real large name, saying She ho returned was heir his love, to a
fortune.
and they were married a few weeks
after. The stranger told his wife that
be must visit New Orleans. Ho did
so, and tho wife gossips of the town made
the young unhappy by disagrees-
bio hints and jeers. Inn few months
tlK ‘ husband returned; but before n
week had elapsed ho received a largo
budget of letters, and told -his wife
that ho must at once return to En¬
gland, and must go alone. He took
liis departure, and the gossips had an¬
other glorious opportunity to make a
eonfindiug woman wretched. To all
but herself, it- was a clear case of do-
sort-ion. The wife became a mother,
atnl for two years lived on in silence
ami hope. By the end of that time a
letter was received by the Stratford
beauty from her husband, directing
her to go at once to New Fork with
her clothes child? taking nothing with her but
the sho wore and embark in a
ship for her home in Englad, On her
in New York she found a vessel
splendidly furnished with every cou-
vcuience and luxury for her comfort,
and two servants ready to obey every

count: “With characteristic vanity

turned on him as he came through the
m;«4u door facing the Speaker, and
paused for a moment as if waiting to
be shown a seat, and also to give the
women an opportunity to feast their
eyes on his supreme loveliness. It was
so characteristic of the snob that an
immense smile spread all through the
masculine ranks. He was soon shown
a seat in the open space fronting the
dusk next to Mr. Bayard. Neither

monies; but Cockling had to show off
somehow', so ho turned Ids hack on

with Garland, with whom and Eaton,
