"No, no," ho uttered, aa he leaped from the hold. "No, no—my men. Do nothing rashly. Let me go into the cabin first. Yon may follow me." Commodore Tucker strode into the cabin, walked up to tho bunk where his passenger lay, and, grasping hold of the female dress, ho dragged its wearer out upon the floor. There was a sharp re sixtanoe, and the passenger drew a pis tol, but it was quickly knocked away— the gown was tom off, and a man came forth from the remnants of calico and linen. Tho fellow was assured that his whole plot hsd been discovered, and at length he owned that it had been his plan to turn out in tho course of the night and get hold of the ball of twine, which he bad left in a convenient place ; then he intended to have gone aft, carefully unwinding tho string aa he went along, then to bars got into the boat, out the falls, aud aa the boat fell into the water ho would have pulled amartlv upon the twine. “ And I think you know,” he con tinued, with a wicked look, " what would have followed.

We believe the winning of wealth to bo n perfectly legitimate pursuit. Wealth has great and beneficent usee, and tho world would go very slowly if money eould not bo aocuHulatod in wise and enterprising hands ; but weodth may bo used to make all men near it prosperous and happy, or it may be used to make them poor and miserable. When a rich man is only excited by his wealth with tho desire to be richer, and goes on to exact larger profits and to grind tho faces of tho poor, in order that he may be superfluously rich, ho beoomee inhu man and unchristian. The Christian use of wealth is what we need in thia country and all countries. It is not that wealth does not give in charity. It is not that wealth u not sufficiently taxed for tho support of those who are wrecked in health and fortune, but it is that •wealth does not give the people a ohanoo to escape poverty ; that it doee not share ito chances with the poor, and point tho puthwey for the poor toward prosperity. As a rule, wealth is only brotherly to ward wealth, and the poor man leela himself cut off from sympathy wish those who have the power of winning money. We may root assured of one thing, namely, that tho poor in tho fu ture will insist on being recognised. If they are not recognized—if they are ignored in the mad greed for wealth at any cost to tteem —they will make tho future a troubled and terrible one for our children and our children'e ehildrea. —J. 9.
