ing service of glittering silver—here tinged with the
palest of greens, there passing into a lovely blue;
while motionless, ship after ship, with every
spread in a perfect crowd of caavass,
beauty of the scene.
~ Where | lay sheltered by a large over-hanging
} wey tay stream slowly trickled out of the cavern
mouth was beautifully fringed with many
varieties of fern, while other growths, vurtured by
the cool freshness of the vever-iailing water, added
tlieir velvety beauty to the favored spot,

Bat sow be. different! I stood in av opening in
the where the village was built, avd the great
jetty ran down into the sea. The wind tore by me
sa that I could hardly siand by its fury, while down
by the pier and the rocks, the waves came tumbling
in tea or twelve feet high, curliag over and over, as
if to out the chore; anu whenever they en-
countered rock or pier there seemed a momentéry
halt, a8 if gathering strength, wheu with a mighty
leap up flew tons of water in a towntaio of foam,
which was again swept against the face of the long
line of rocks behind the sand, or dashed over them
and carried in w storm of spray island.

The voise was deafening, for the shingles and
huge stones were being churved over and over,
and, as it were, pounded by the waves, while wher-
ever there was a cavern the water rushed in with a
bellowing roar that was at times deepened into thune
der, while the concussion and force of the hissing
waves seemed enough to rend the rocks assunder
and ploogh upthe earth beyond, till the current
foreed its way through, to tear on as a devastating
river, and drown all that came in its path,

* What? I shouted to a fisherman whose lips I
had séea move, while his words were swept away.

* Three ships ashore,’ he shouted back, iv the sing
song tone peculiar to the men of Cerowall, who
draw their harvest from the sea,—the sturdy, sober,
hovest fellows, who seem gentlemen compared to
ing ston run of fishermen at our ports and fish-
wi

stations, men whom I had sat upon the rocks

h fo listen night after night, when a kuot would
get together.and sing in capital tune avd time—and
with every part ia the harmouy carefully preserved
—soine melodious air, which, floating out to sea,
sounded sweet beyond conception, and made me
thiuk what littl seed there was for persous to go
abroad to find scevery and nafional peculiarity. But
it always was_a failing among us to be so far sighted
that the beauties of home were overlooked.

“ Three ships ashore,” he shouted, pointing in
three different directions; but 1 had already made
them out, and now we went down to the pier as
close as the waves would permit, tor but some filty
yards from the eud Jay a emall schoovor with the
waves washing over ker,—ouve by one the men who
had clung to her riggiog and her sails being beaten
off; washed towards the shore, aud then drawn back
by the under-tow again.

Every minute the pier would be left clear out of
the water, which poured of its sides, aud in one of
of those iutersals a sailor was seen swimming
strongly alougside, riding up aud down the huge
billows, but fighting bard for life.

‘ANl at once I saw « man seize a life-buoy, one of
those large yellow cork rings; and as the last wave
left the stone peir free from the water to where the
ight house rose, he dashed aloug it, runving swift.
ly towards where the swimmer was striving to reach
the shore,

In a few moments he was beside him, and threw

the baoy so thatthe poor fellow reached it, when)

the meu behind me began to shout to the gallaut
fellow. to returo, But every shout seemed beaten
back instantly; and amidst a violeut commotion—
mnen running and seizing ropee, women shrieking
and clutching one another—J saw a large wave
come tearing in, rise like a huge beast at a leap,
and curl right over the pier, sweeping it from end
to end, and delugivg it with many feet of water.—
This was succeeded by another and another, aud
then ones more the water was streaming off the
sand, and one could see the fisherman who ran to
his brother man’s rescue struggling for his own life
oa the other side of the pier, against which he was
at length violently dashed. But there were kins-
men aid friends in plenty, aud ore with a rope
round him ran down the pier, plunged iv, swam te
the poor fellow, clutched him, and then they were
drawn ashore together insensible, but locked ina
tight embrace.

All this time the sailor who clung to the buoy
scemed wild and confused, aud ignorant of its pur-

, for all at once a groan arose from the crowd
assembled, when losing his hold, the drowning man
threw vp his arms aod disappeared in the boiling
surge.

In rushed the waves again and again, while more
than once the yellow life buoy could be seen; but
as the waves receded they dragged it back, and uow
‘every eye was directed to the little schoouer, which
seemed to lift upon the waves, aud then tremble in
every beam as it was dashed dowo again, till the
masts went over the side.

About one hundred yards lower down 1 could see
a crowd assembled facing a large brig which had
struck against the rocks, and whose crew seemed
doomed to meet with a watery grave.

ut preparations were beivg made to afford suc-
cour here, for.as I reached the crowd I found them
busy with the rocket apparatus. ‘There was a rock-
et aod the long live laid carctully in and out, round
beg alter peg, in its case, so that it might run forth
erafly an euily, and just then the stand was di-

ted right, the rocket aimed, and the fire applied,
and after a loud rushing sound, off darted the fiery
messanger on its errand of mercy, formiag an arch
ia the air, and falling upon the other side of the
doomed ship, which lay about sixty yards from the
st:

ore.

An exultant{chorus followed this successful at-
tempt to connect the vessel with the shore by means
of a cord, for the rocket line ran easily and perfect-
ly ont, and the cable at hand being vow attached,
the sailors on board began to haul, when, like a
snake, the great rope ran slowly dewn the beach,
planged into the tolling surf, and still kept on un-
coiling and ravving down till those on the cliff sig-
nalled down that the end was hauled on board and
made fast to the mast.

And tow so far successful, the cable and a line
being on board, the cable hauled tight by those on
> bo: a. and secured to a capstan used for hauling up
boats, the rest of the arrangements being
ria and those on board drew the tarpaulin
seat, which run by « ring along the cable,

seemed ready, the meu by me began to haul,
seen that a woman was swinging by
rope, which rose and fell with the weight upon

\tate sorrow, for it wae seen that in’ the hurry of
| passing the poor woman over the ship’s side the rope
| had become eatangled round her aeck, and she had

ee oe

beea strangled in those brief minutes when there
was life and safety before her !

But there were other lives to save, and as the
body of the fair, delicate woman was borne with
tender, loving hauds up the sands through the
opening, aud then to the large inv, the sling was
drawn back by the crew of the ship, and another
tried the perilous passage.

How the angry waves leaped up and darted again
and again, as if to tear the men being rescued from
the rope of safety, and how those ashore cheered
again and again as each poor drenched and dripping
wretch, half choked with the brine, was hauled
ashore, and then stood trembling and tottering,
sometimes not even able to stand from being 80 ex-
hausted. Some shouted for joy, some burst into
fits of crying, others stood stolidly gazivg at their
saviours while one or two weet down on their knees
devoutedly to offer thanks for the life anved,

To five-and-twenty souls did that thin line, shot
over the wreck by means of a rocket, carry life and
hope, and heartily their fellow-meu worked to save
them from the sea that fought hard to take them for
its prey, and when, at last, vearly every man had
come ashore upon the frail bridge of hemp, the |
waves seemed to tear at the wreck with redoubled
fury, piling mountains of foaming water upon it,
leapiog upon the deck, or lifting the hull to dash it
again upon the cruel rocks that were guawing their
way through the bottom.

** Only the captain left vow,” said the last poor
fellow who came ashore, and then he staggared and
fell—quite insensible from the revulsion of feeling.
And on hearing these words the men set the slings
free, but they were dragged back ouly slowly, as il
the poor captain wag about exhausted. Every now
and then we could make him out clinging to the

from the yards, or from expesure; and at last, when
the vessel reached port, out of the crew there were but
three seamen able to do duty. Probably, short of ab-
solute loss, the Cvlumbia experienced the severest
passage we ever remember to have recorded. The
ship Neptune, Captain Peabody, also of the same line,
arrived the same day, although she left Liverpool just
a month before the Columbia. She also received
rough handling, having met three violent stormy,
during one of which she was knocked down and half
filled with water, bat fortunately escaped with no more
serious loss than that of her yards and some sails.
Captain Peabody states that for thirty years such heavy
westerly gales had been unknown on the Atlantic.

These are the experiences of all those that provi-
dentially succeed in battling with the Storm King, but
the agonizing sufferings of other unfortunates who,
after probably days of useless struggles and hope for
help, at last succumb to their fate, ind now lie buried
in the deep bosom of the angry ocean, can only be
guessed at, but mever known in this world. Two
recent wrecks were passed by the Columbia, the crews
of which have probably perished, and we fear future
arrivals will add considerably to the melancholy record.
Landsmen think the disagreeables of the city in the
winter are bad enovgh when splashing through the un-
eleaied streets to and from their labor; but how hght
do they appear when compared with even one day's re-
cord of the experiences of one who ** goes down to the
sea in ships” to labor for his daily bread!

HUMORS OF ADVERTISING.

Totake a newspaper fora leisure hour and begin-
ning with the first column read carefully through to the
last, we doubt if any part will be tound either more en-
tertaining, mstructive or amusing than that especially
set apart to the advertising public, and he who neglects
its perusal loses many a choice tit bit, and mayhap
much valuable and practical information. Ideas have
been rapidly undergoing a change of late years. The
man who formerly refused introducing himself or his
wares to public attention, through the medium of the
press, now eagerly covets its assistance, and the old
fogy and the penurious alone remain ignorant of its ad-

rigging, where the end of the cable had been secured, |
but ull at onee a regular mountaiv of a wave came |
coursing in faster, leaped up, seemed hanging in)
mid air fora few moments, aud then poured down
with resistless tury upou the doomed vessel, ‘There |
was a wild confused ery from those on shore, which
was heard above the howling of the storm; men
and women clasped their hands and ran hither and
thither, as if agonized at their helplessness to render
aid, and then, as I looked out eastward, I could ouly
see the clean swept deck at intervals, forthe rigging
was gone, while the cable, that bridge of safety to
so many, now huog slack.iu the water.

‘* Haul!” shouted the man who mavaged the
rocket apparatus—oue of the old Coast Guardsmen
—and a seore of willing hands crowded down to
get a clutch at the cable, when ata given signal they
started inshore to run it up, but checked directly,
for they found there was a long tackle of wreck attach-
ed, which came vp slowly, with the huge waves
tearing at it as though to draw it back, but as more
of the drippling cable appeared from the water
more williog bands siezed upon it, so that at last it
came faster, and part of a mast with a confusion of
blocks, ropes, shrouds, appeared at the edge of the
sands where the water boiled so furiously, and the
next minute was high upon the sands.

I hurried down to be one of the knot of people’
who crowded round, when my heart sank, for it}
was, as I feared; the captain, a fine, calm, sternly- |
browed man, lay there amongst the cordage, one leg
in the slings, as if about to venture, when that cruel
wave poured ruin upon the deck of the ship, and
tore away his last chance of life.

Twisted, tangled, and confused, the ropes lay to-
gether, and it was only by means of a free use of
their clasp-knives that the beachmen and sailors set
the poor fellow free.

Slowly and sadly we stood round, looking down
upon the features of the brave man who had clung
to his ship till the last of his crew was ashore ; but
there was no weeping and wailing Wife to cast
herself upon the cold, drenched form, and sweep the
hair from his broad forehead; slowly, and with the
crowd following in silence, we bore the corpse to
the inn, to lay it side by side with that of the wife
he had tried to save.

A young, noble-looking pair, with faces calm and
pale, seeming but to sleep as they lay there hushed
in death—in that great mystery, for the sea had con-
quered.

“ Sixty years have I lived down here, man and
boy,” said a fisherman, in his pleasant song tone,
“ and if I were to try and count up the lives of men
as that great sea has taken, I could hardly believe
it. I've seen the sea shore strewn with wreck, and
and I've kuown the waves to castup the dead day
after day for weeks after a strom; some calm and
pale faced, some beaten, torn, and not to be looked
upon without a shudder. Seems sir, as the sea
kept them as long as it could, and then cast
them up and busily triedto hide 'em, throwing up
sand and shells—sand and shells, so that I’ve found
‘em sometimes half hidden, and the water lapping
melancholy around. Now, it’s some poor fisherman
—now asailor, or a gentleman been a yauchting, or
a foreigner from some fine vessel. Every year hun-
dreds taken, aud every dead body with such a tale of
sorrow, misery and wretchedness attached, as would
make your heart ache could you but read it. Ah,
the sea is a great thing, and as I live by it, kaow it
well. ‘T'o-day you see it quiet and still—to-morrow
it is teariag at the shore with fury, and it is only
God who can still its rage.”

But still, year after year, in their calm depen-
dance upon His great arm, our fishers and sailors
put forih to tempt the perils. of the vast deep for
their livelihood, Right and left of them others are
taken, but still the busy toilers thrust forth from the
shore and make their voyage easily, or in an agony
of fear are overtaken by the storm, and at length
* being exceedingly tossed withthe tempest * *
* lighten the ship.” And again, when run ashore,
cling terror-stricken to the vessel and its rigging, tilt
beaten off before succour arrives when they are cast
ashore,

Miscellanuconus,
THE WINTER ON THE OCEAN,

{From the N. Y, Com. Advertiser,]

The present winter season is productive of more
than the usual number of cases of suffering at sea,
owing to the continued intense teverity of the wea-
ther. Nearly every arrival during the past few weeks

—e el

in addition, ewith the loss of one or more valuable
lives. The B pes’ m8 Columbia, Captain Robinson,
which arrived on Saturday from Liverpool, with eighty-
six passengers, was 73 days out. had been re-
ported as Siiew this several days previous, but
the winter eterms baffled every attempt to reach her
haven, From the sixth day out, gale after gale bat-
tered the unfortanate ship, tearing away her sails,
washing away spare and bulwarks, and drenebing ber
on deck and below. Added to this, the cold weather
iced up the ship, her hull, masts, rigging, and spars
being encased with the frozen water, rendering it
poi an impossibility to work the vessel.

During one of the heaviest gales she was struck
ami by un electric ball of fire, which exploded
with a report; and, to add to the horrors, five
seamen one passenger Were lost overboard at dif-

had met with some accident to bull or epars, and some, | b

vantages. In our age the rule is to apvertTise. All
classes do it, and they do it in every way, There is no
general method or set term of phrases, for every one is
unmistakably for himself. As ageneral rule slettie-
mente are well written, striking and characteristic, but
sometimes they are worded withan utter disregard to
syntax, and sometimes the punctuation renders them
a trifle obscure, as witness the following, cut from vari-
ous papers in our office :—

* Wanted a steady young man to look after a horse of
the Methodist persuasion.’

‘To Let—A cottage containing eight rooms and an
acre of ground.’

‘For Sate.—A piano by a lady about to cross the
Channel in an oak case with carved legs.’

‘Lost !—A small lady’s watch with a white face, also,
two ivory young ladies’ work-boxes. A mahogany
gentleman's dressing case, and a small pony belosging
to a young lady with silver mane and tail,’

* Lost or etracdle from the scriber a sheep all over white
—one leg was black and half his body—all persons
shal! receive five dollars to bring him, He was a she
gout.’

A lady recently advertised in a city paper that she
wanted a ‘ gentleman for breakfast and tea,’ while an-
other in the same journal asks for ‘a hushand having a
Rowan nose with strong religious tendencies.’ and a third
party seeks to recover * a lost wallet belonging to a gen-
tleman made of calf skin,’

An advertisement of cheap shoes in a country paper
has the following nota bena:

*N. B.—Ladies wishing those cheap shoes will do well
to call soon, as they won't last long.’

A man ence advertised for* competent persons to un.
dertake the sale of a new medicine, and adds, we doubt
not with truth, ‘it will be profitable to the undertaker.’

The following extract from a medical advertisement,
is perhaps correct:

‘Consumptives, cough while you can, for after you
have taken one bottle of my mixture you can't.’

A Western paper advertises thus :

‘Run Away.—A hired man named John; bis aose
turned up five eet eight inches high, and had on a pair
of corduroy pants much worn.’

How that nose must have looked dressed up in cord-
uroy pants!

The advertisement of a doctor who undertakes the
eure of madness begins thus: ‘Worthy the attention of
the insane.’

A wholesale house recently advertised ‘ Wanted, wo-
men to sell on commission.’

In a shop window in an obscure part of London is
this announcement: * Goods removed, messages taken,
carpets beaten, and poetry composed on any subject.’

A sign on an Academy out West reads: ‘ Freeman
& — Freeman teaches the boys and ‘Ifuggs the
gir a.

A Brooklyn storokeeper announces ‘ Umbrellas re-
covered here.’ A hyphen alter the ‘re’ would undcubt-
edly render the advertiser's meaning more literally
correct.’

Another class of advertisements evinemg peculiar
characteristics, are to he found under the head of peraon-
alsin city dailies. Take for instance the following,
where the man evidently signs his right name:

‘Fun ano Mieru. —If the ladies on Madison Square,
next to park, going down, about half-past one P, M.,
on Tuesday. who recognized the gentleman m omnibus
going up, would oblige’ by turther acquaintance, will
please address A. Donkey, Metropolitan Hotel.’

COULDN'T GET THE RIGHT FLOP,

In the year 1843, during the Millerite excitement in
the usvally quiet town of Durham, old * Aunt Sally
U—,’ who would ‘weigh nigh on to two hundred
pounds,’ got all ready to * go up,’ and one evening in
meeting, In the midst ef a warm season of exhortation,
she arose and said:

‘Oh, brethren and sisters, I'll soon get away from
this wicked world; I'm going to meet the Lerd in a few
days. My faith is powerful strong. Oh, yes. powerful
strong it is! So strong,’ continued the old lady, exten-
ding ber arms and motioning ther like a goose on the
wing, ‘ that it feels as if 1 could fly right away now,
and meet the Lord in the air.’

The minirter who was as great an enthusiast on going
up as the old lady, encouraged her by exclaiming :

* Try, sister, try! Perhaps you can fly, if your faith
is yg atrong enough.’

re Vell I can,’ she exclaimed, ‘I know I can, and I
will.

She was standing near a window, which was raised
because of the oppressive heat—for it was summer.
With her hadkerchief in one hand and her fan in the
other, she mounted the seat and thence to the
top of the pew, and gave a leap into the air with a fly-
ing motion of her arms, expecting to ascend heaven-
ward, But the law of gravitation was too much tor
both her faith and the gravity of the audience. Down
she came with an enormous and no very angelic grant,
shaking the whole house with the concussion.

She arose, folded her wings, and with great meek-
pe ata back into her seat, evidently quite disap-
pointod.

The next ovening some of the young folks asked

er;

* Aunt Sally, why didn't fly last
ake Tree y you fly last night, when you
* Could’t get the right flop on,’ was the meek and
conclusive reply.

I sot me down, in thought profound,
This maxim wiee | drew:

It's easier for to love a gal,
Than to make a gal love you.

‘IT resortto my wine to stimulate my wit,’ said a
young spendthbrift to an old one, ‘Ah,’ replied the
veteran, ‘ that is the way I began; butnow I have to
resort to my wits to get my wine.’

‘' Do you believe in the appearance of spirits, Joe?”
No,” enid Joe; “I believe in their Glappenrenes,

ferent times, either by being washed overboard, falling

and have witnessed a great deal of it."
