L., June 20--eod A SHIP MASTER’S STORY, [concLUDED. ] A little way forward J saw a space where | | | Jack might easily have gone down, and to! tris point I crawled on my hands and knees. I called out there, but could get no answer, A short distence further was a wide space which I had entirely forgotten, but which I now remembered had been left open on accofint of a break in the floor- ing of the hold, which would let anything that might have been stored there rest directly on the thin pisnking of the ship. To this place | made my way, and looked down. I heard the splashing of the water, and thought I could detect a sound like the incoming of a tiny jet or stream. At first I could see nothing, but as tinguish the faint outlines of the boy at some distance below me. He scemed to be sitting on the broken floor, with his feet stretched out against a cask. I called out to him and thought he locked up. | **Jack, are you there /’ | And he answered me in a faint, weary / tone: | ‘Yes, helpme! For Heaven’s sake help me! Bring men and bring a lantern—ths ‘ship had sprung a leak !’ i hesitated, and he added, in a more eager tone : | ‘Make baste! I will try and hold it till you come back.’ I waited to hear no more, but hurried on deck as soon as possible, and returned with I leaped down Mien’s and Boys’ Straw Hats selling very peti ty ant contd scarcely believe ‘my own senses, Three of the timbers were | completely worm-eaten to the very heart, |and one of the outer planks had been ‘broken, and would burst in any moment |the boy might leave it, whose feet were braced against the plank before him. Half \2 dozen little jets of water were streaming ‘in about him, and he was wet to the skin. | I saw the plank must burst the moment the strain was removed from it, so 1 made the | men brace themselves against it before [ ‘lifted him up. Other men were called down, with planks, spikes, and adzes, and with much care and trouble we finally suc- ceeded in stopping the leak and averting the danger. The plank which had been stove in was six feet long by eight inches wide, and would iet in a stream of water of that capa icity. It would have been beyond our reach long before we could have discovered jit, and would have sunk usin a very short time. I knew it must be where the iceberg | struck us Jack Withers was taken to the cabin and there he managed to tell his story. Short- ly after I put him in the hold, he crawled forward and when he became used to the dim glimmer that came through the dead- lights, he looked around for a snug place in which to lie,for his limbs were very sore. He went to sleep, and when he awoke he heard a faint sound, like water streaming through a small hole. He went to the open place in the cargo and looked down and was sure that he saw a small jet of water springing up through the ship’s bot- tom. He leaped down, andina few mo- ments found that the timbers had given creasing in size. He placed his hand upon the plank and foundit broken, and dis- covered that the pressure of the water without, was forcing it inward. He hed seuse enough tosee that if it gained an inch more, it muat all go, and the ship be lost and perhaps all hands perish. And he saw, too, that if he could keep the broken plank in its place he might stop the incom- ing flood. So he sat himself upon it and braced his feet against the cask, and then called for help. But he was too far away— so low down, with such a mass of cargo about him, that his voice scarcely reached other ears than his own. Some of the men heard him, but thought he was talking to himself. And there he sat, with hia feet braced, for four and twenty hours, with the water spurting all over him, and drenching him to the very skin. He had eeveral times thought of going to the hatchway end call- ing for help ; but he knew that the broken plank would be forced in if he left it, for he could feel it heave beneath him ; his limbs were racked with pain, but he would not give up. I aeked him if he would not have given upif 1 had not comeasI did. He answered that he would not have done so while there was life in him He said he thought not of himself—he was ready to die—but he would save the rest if he could; and be saved us, surely—-saved us all—from a watery grave. Tle boy lay sick almost unto death ; but I nursed him with my own hands—nursed him through ail his delirium; and when his reason returned and he could sit up and talk. I bowed myself before him, and humbly asked his pardon for all tha wrong 1 had done him. He threw hia arms around my neck and told me if 1 would be good to him he would never give cause of offense ; he added as he sat up again, ‘lam nota coward—lI could not be a dog.’ I never forgot these words; and from | tans hour I never struck a blow on my ‘ship. I make my men feel that they are men, that I so regard them, and that I wish to make them as comfortable and lappy as possible; and I have not failed to gain their respect and confijence. I give no undue license, but make my crews feel that they have a friend and a superior in the same person. For nine years I have eailed in three different ships with the same crew. A man could not be hired to leave me, save for an officer's birth. And Jack Withers remained with me _ for thirteen years. He was my cabin boy; one of my foremost hands; my second mate ; and the last time heeailed with me he refused the command of a new hark. Messrs.

[LETTERS Vo THE Error, _»——— Taking Care of Shade Trees. Si1r,~—Those of us who have had oppor- tunities for observing in other cities, but especially those of our Southern neighbor, what makes tree planting a success, might, very profitably to the inhabitants of Char- lottetown, ‘‘rise and explain.” Dead branches are cut away whenever they are discovered (snd the cperaior has a sharp knife in hand) eo as to give the wound time to heal itself over. Should a spur be left on a tree—that is to say, a stub where the amputation of a branch takes place—it will he very likely to ruin the tree, because it will die down in the core to the centre of the branch it was cut from, seoner or later. The growth of defective or misplaced branches culy rob the symmetrical parts, aud as they throw the tree permanently out of shape, by being left, they should be removed. An observant tree culturist will, in his determinations, take special care to leave | the limbs that show a stronger growth. Often a lateral will take a leading part in the growth, and should then be adopted, i for after a main stem has surrendered ita ‘increase to an ambitious lateral, it never |recovers its supremacy asa leader, It is better, therefore, to remove it, and the | lateral will soon straighten itself up into | its place. | But, supposing the selection of the shady ‘tree has been judicious ; its symmetry duly secured; its plantiog (both as to tree and place) successfully accomplished, and the ‘severest critic among the tree planting fraternity satisfied; there will yet remain something to do, of such vital importance | to the growth of it, that to neglect to do it ,would be to consign the tree to a struggle | for existence, which if it does overcome is sure to show its hard usuage in its tardy The shade tree is no whit less } ‘ | growth, ‘deserving of good and scientific treatment _than the favorites of the orchard, and it is no less necessary to surround the shade ‘tree with conditions to grow freely, than |where the product we wish to hurry is |apples and peers. Perhaps of the two the shade tree would obtain the-first award of |merit, for while these fruits can yield its | products but once in the seasow, the shade tree blesses and continues to bless the wayfarer and the stranger, the veary and ithe tired, all through the season of hot 'weather. Let us feel grateful for its shade ‘and show our gratitude by taking care of \it, by destroying the weeds, that dry it up, and cultivating a circle of weedless soil, enriched with plant food, and arranged /with neatnees. Charlottetown bas done |well already (for Charlottetown) but it |seems very evident that Charlottetown !must do better before it can offer itself for {competition on the shade tree question to | other more experienced and wide awake cities. Cut away the sod round the street walk ‘shade tree; manure with well rotted com- | post, keep it frequently stirred, and don’t ' | that only pretend to protect, become mere ‘scraping places for the tender bark when a | high wind makes it impoiently bend before it. RETSGAB. The General’s Run. Among the unpublished incidents of the rebellion was one which at the time,created perhaps more sensation and amusement than any other during its course. It hap- pened on the last morning of the Batouche fight, and is well-known among the men as ‘“‘The General’s Run.” That morning Gen. Middietor had,for some reason known only to himself, wanted to see either a priest or some one else who was in the priest's house, which stood between the loyal and rebel lines, four hundred yards from the former and only’ two hundred from the latter. Accordingly he started out without a word to anyone, dressed in civilian’s clothes, except that he wore a helmet. Capt. Young, Brigade- Major, saw him start out with much appre- hension, and was en the point of ordering a guard to attend him, but feared that doing so would be much more likely to attract the attention of the enemy. The general reached the house in safety, and was met at the door by the man with whom he had to converse. The interview ended, he started back, but hardly got twenty yards from the door when pop—pop—-pop— went the rebel rifles, and bullet after buliet sped by the (General’s person. This was the more remarkable, as the stout, corpulent body of the General ofier- ed a good rownd target to the enemy, The Commander-in-Chief thought it was time to get out of the way, but he was no longer an athlete, and his fat Jittle legs were hardly capable of carrying their load at any great pace. He, however, did his best, and with a motion more like a waddle than a run, in- creased his speed. His wind was no longer good and soon began to give out, and as he waddelied along the puff-puff-puff which came from bis panting frame was audible in the lines of his men. The rebels still kept pouring leaden hail afier him, but whether their aim was bad or his waddle disconcert- ed them it will perhaps never be known. At any rate they missed him every time. Captain Young, as soon as he saw the predicament of his chief, called for volunteers to go out and draw the fire of the rebels away from him, and accompanied by Major Kirwan, Lien- tenant Helliwell (who was three hours after- wards badly wounded) and two others,start- ed cut. They succeeded in their design,and probably saved the General’s life. He kept en his way, panting, puffing, and blowing until his face was as red as a beet,end com- pletely pumped out, he eventually reached the lines in safety. He must, however. have acquired much additional respect for his powers of pedestrianism, for as he fell ex- hausted on his cemp-peb, he was heard to mutter. —"'] didn’t know I conld run so fast before.” Basses co cnctapemmgpinememnteanaeneneeeen age
