By order, downhearted.

They floated this way several minutes, and were gradually getting over the first shock, when the stroke-oarsman, a gigan- tic negro, called out:

‘* Look dar, a shark |”

Nothing so horrifies a sailor as the appearauce of that ravenous fish in hours of peril. The crew looked, and saw a huge bottle-nosed shark floating appar- ently not more than a fathom below the surface. The Captain saw the monster also, and felt his chances of escape dwindle to a cypher; nevertheless he did not lose courege, and insteud of hastening the event which seemed be- yond prevention, resolved to escape it if possible. He knewthat a shark will never bite at an unsteady bait. The nose of the creature is in its way; it must turn on its side to suap, and then ouly when the object is stationary. It may be so for a second only, but-that is enough ; the shark darts iike lightning, and ina moment seizes its prey. The Captain knew this, and knew his only salvation depended on his keeping con- stantly ‘in motion, The least pause would

He heard, too, the voice of one dearer to him than all of earth; the voice of one—but all this took place while a rapacious monster was floating

lwithin a few feet of him, waiting only

for a moment's pause in his movements to rend him into pieces.

What is consciousness! A mystery. What is peril? A terror to the coward, av inspirer to the conrageous.

Meanwhile the ships company. had

| discovered the mishap which had befallen

the boat’s crew, aud stood toward them, at the same time signalling the second boat to pull to their aid. More than an hour elapsed, however, before the second mate’s boat came within hailing distauce. The Captain then called to Jim Watson, the mate, and told him to take the mev off the capsized boat, adding that a shark was near waiting to sieze him the mo- meut he ceased to move, He told the mate to keep cool and follow his instruc- tions as on his instructions and address his life depended.

The mate promised; and, though usually a blundering, harum-searum fel- low, in this instance proved equal to the emergency. The terrible jeril of his fellow-officer sharpened his wits, and endowed him witha coolness and saga-

city not common to his nature. He suc- ceeded in taking every man from the keel, a proceeding which: the

shark watched with an apparenily-absorb ing interest, expecting to make a meal of at leaat one of the poor fellows clinging to it. Not succeeding, the monster swam toward the Captain and resumed it original sta- tion about a fathom below him, moving only as he moved, and turning now and then on its side as if intending to seize its prey The Captain, however, moved con- tinually, and the fish returned to its criginal osition.

The men being all aboard, the Captain now told the mate to lay his boat for him, to set all hands to the cars, and let them pull ibeir utmost, shooting the boat at full speed past him. As it passed he would grasp the gunwale and spring in, the critical moment being when he would lose motion, and when the shark would be likely to seize him. However, the risk must be taken.

The mate faithfully carried out his direc- tions. The men strained every sinew. They were whalemen, and as such top- gallant oarsmen, and the speed at which they sent their boat driving through the water would have shamed the flight of the awiftest sea-bird. The beat itself was scarcely seen, buried in a double wall of foaming spray, the oars bending like reeds and the gunwales quivering at each stroke. It took a steady nerve, an eagle glance, and a lightning grasp to secure the flying craft; but the Captain had these, and, as it passed, seized the starboard gunwale, and was threwn like a shot into the boat. At the same instant the shark’s head rose above water, and its jaws snapped with a sound, audible for a distance of several furlongs.

The Captain, as he himse'f remarked, escaped ‘‘only by a scratch ;’ the moment he was stationary the ehark shapped at him, the velocity of his subsequent motion only saving him frem a hideous death. But the danger was past, and with grateful hearts the crew pulled for the ship, big with another adventure to note down on the log of a whaler’s experience.

In the Woods.

In the weods, too, a man casts off his years, asa snake his slough, ayd@ at what period soever of his life, is always a child. Jn the woods is verpetual youth. Within these plantations of God a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life,— no digrace no calamity (leaving me my eyes) which nature cannet repair. Standing on the bare ground-—my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space—all mean egotism vanishes. I beeome a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing ; I see all; the currents of the Universal being circulate through me; I am part or particle of God. The natre‘of the nearest friend scunds thea foreign and accidental ; to be brothers, te be acqtaint- ances—master or servant-—is then a trifle and a disturbance. I am the lover of wn- contained and immortal beauty. in the wilderness I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the herizon, man behelds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature,
