THE PILOT'S BETESCE. ii (u towards night on tbe 21«t of: September, 1764- A small fchtglish «tbrig, which boil Ueeo fitted out for fbe suppression of smugglers, wss lsxiiy j creeping along pear the heavy moooto- 1 doqs swells, just oJ the coast of Gala- ; way, and on her deck was being enact- j ed a scene of aomewbat niore than comtu on interest.

To tWa j indignity tbe old «»a« afrde a "atont re- j be bad so far forgotten himself as to i strike tbe captain a blow which laid bim apon the deck. Sncb an insolt, to un Eogllsh officer was past endurance, and in punishment for the offence tbe smuggler bad been condemned to die. A single whip was drove at the star- j board foreyard arm, and all bands -were > called to wiuiaaa the execution, *Tl»e rope was noosed and slipped over tbe culprit's bead, and tha running end put ' through a small snatch block on the deck. Until this moment not -a word: had escaped the boy. lie trembled as be beheld the ewful preparations, and us the fatal uooae was passed over -the j head and drawn tight, the coior forsook bis cheeks, and ba sprang forward and dropped upon bis knees before tbe in- 1 censed captain. "Mercy, air-— mercy !" 'Tor whom ?" asked the officer, while j u contemptuous smile rested opoo bit lint. t

In oVd ence to the order, the men j I ranged themselves along tbe deck, and ; every one laid hold of the rope. Rob- j .1 ert Kinlock looked first at bis father, i I and then he ruu Ids eye along the line of i men. who where ty he bis executioners, j lint not one sympathizing or pitying look could be detect. Their faces were : ] all hard and cold, and all seemed anx ioos to consomute their murderous work, j I "What P' cried the boy, while a tear j i started fryn his eye ; "is there not one j ; even who can pity T" ! "Up with him,"' ahou'.ed tbe captain, i' J Robert buried his face in his bands, ! and the 'next womeul bis father •■•j i swinging at the yard-arm. lie beard ; tbe passing rope, and tbe creaking block j j and be knew that bo was fatherless. I | Itr.. au hour afterwards the boy knelt [ j beside a gastly corpse, and a simple | pftyer escapbd his lips. Then another j j low murmuring sound came from bis j bosom, but none of tlfose who stood j around knew its import. It was a j pledge of deep revenge ! Jnst aa the old man's body slid fropi i the gang-board into the water, a vivid i flash of lightnlug streamed through the ' hsavens, and iu another instant the dreadful artillery of uature sent forth a roar so long and loud, .thai ihe men actually placed their hands to thtic ears - to shot out the deafening sonnd. Robi ert Kintock started at tha sonnd, and j what caused dread in other bosoms, sent • a thrill of satisfaction to his own. i t "Oh, revenge ! revenge !" be muttered^ ! to himself, as he cast his eyes orer the j foam created wuves which bad Nltggd^ ; risen beneath the sudden storm. J Tbe darkness had oome as suddenly as did the storm, and alj that could be j distinguished from the dtok of tbe brig, i isaTe tbe breaking sea, which was the ! fearful craggy shore, as flash after flash J illuminated the heavens. "Light ho !•" alioutdd tbe roan forward, ' I and tha next moment all eyes were dirf rctc-d to a bright light which had sud1 j denly flashed op among tbe distant ' J rocks. 1 The windLiad now reached its height, ^ 1 and with its giant power it sent the ill- ' j fated brig directly upon the surf-bound 1 shore of rocks and reefs, and every face ' • save one was blanched with fear. In ' ; vain did they try to lay the brig to the j wind, but nol a sail would for an instant " i stand the wind, until at length the men ' ' fflaoaged tp get up a fore and main : ; storm-sail, and then tbe brig stood for a ! short time bravely np against the heav- j 1 ing sea. But it was evident that sbonld f ; she succeed in keeping to the wind, she ® ; would eventoally be driven ashore, for 1 tbe power of the in-seiting waves was * ! greater than that of the wind. " j "Boy, do yon know what light that ' J js ?" asked tbe captain, aa he stood bold1 i ing on to the main rigging to keep hie " | feet. ! '•Yes, air," replied Robert, "it ia BalI lymore's Crag." e ! "What is it there for ?" 6 "It marks the entrance to a little bar
bor, sir, whieh lies on tbe back of it." ^ " And can it he entered by a vessel * of this sire 7" asked the captain, while { a gleam of hope shot across hia faoe. i "Oh yes, air ! large ships can easily f | enter there." : "And do yon know the passage 7" ( J "Yes, sir, I have spent my whole life I on this coast, and know every torn iu ' , it."" i j "Could yon take tbe brig in there in , , 1 this atorui 7" i | "Yea, air," answered the hoy. "And will yon do it?" eagerly asked , the captain. , ' , 1 "On two conditions." "Name them quickly." "The first is, that you let me go in 1 peace ; and the next, that yon trouble ' i ' none of the smogglsra sbonld ihty be i 1 there." 1 "1 promise," asid tha captain, "and j " will give yon a hundred pounds besides. 1 Now set* about your work; but mark j 1 me, if yon deceive me, by 8u George, ; ' I'U shoot yoa on the moment!" The brig was soon put before the 1 wind, and Robert Kinlock stationed " himself at the starboard fore-yaj4 »r», from wheace his orders were pasaed '» aktag to the helmsman. The boaoding » j vessel woo. c»rot in sigijt of the ragged crags, and the heart of every maa leaped it j with fearful thrill as thvy swept past a 1 (rowning roefc, which almost glared them •lir-on flew the brig, and thicker and mVre" fearful brcsme the focks which J nsjatdAhaiT. heads <u «*ary side. -• • ■» •»
sbonted the boy. |- "Port it is." "Steadj — so!" ' i "Steady it ia." "Starboard — qaiek !" "Aye, are — starboard it is" At ibis moment the vessel swept on . past an overhanging cliff, and just st a 1 ^ vivid flsfh of lightning shot through tbe ^ j heavens and revevealed the horrors j around, a load shout was heard from the ^ I young pilot, and in a moment all ryes j j were turned toward him. He stood on 1 ( i tbe extreme end of the yard, and held j himself by the lift In a oomcnt more 1 j bw crouched down like * rice* *f,er Lis ' ! prey, aad thea u>ii h one wild leap be | j reached the projecting rocks. | "Revenge I'-idvenge !" wss all that the doomed men heard, and they were swept away into the boiling surge beyond. . 1 1 "Breakers! — a reef!" screamed tbe 1 qptn forward, "Starboard, quick !*' But it was too late. Ere tbe helm > ' was half up, a low, tremendous grating ! of the brig's keel was felt, and the next j 1 1 instant there came a crash which sounded high above tbe roar of the elements, and the heavy mast went sweeping away lo the leeward followed by large portions of tbe ill fated vessels cargo nnd | , wreck. Shriek alter shriek wsot up from those doomed men, but they were i in the grasp of u power that knows no mercy. The Storm King took- them for : his own ! ; The next moment a small party cf 1 » reckers came from the rocks and moved . 1 < along the shore. It was strewn 'with 1 i scatU^u fragments from the wreck, and ; •MrtftT wed there tbe mutilated and braised forms of the brig's crew. Among the ' wrecker's was Robert Kintock, and | eagerly did he search among tbe ghastly ' corpses, ns thongh there was one he was ■ eager to fiud. At length be stopped and stooped over one, npon thc^shoulders of which were two gold epaulets. It was the captain of the itrig — the mnr- : dt-rer of his father. Tbe boy placed hia ; ; foot upon the body, and while a strange 1 light beamed from bis eyes, and a shud- < der passed over his countenance, be : muttered : "Father, you are amply revenged." J The boy spake truly. Fearful ia con- i ceplioo and fearful iu consumatioc had 1 | been tbe niWk revesoi. j A BATTLE THAT WAS NOT FOrCUT. j I Many years ago, two boys differed | abont some trifling matter, while at play, ; I I and one of them challenged tbe other to j J fight. The challenge was accepted, and , the heroes went into an adjoining field j to settle the quarrel. Jackets and caps were thrown on tbe gronnd, and all was , 1 in readinesa, but each appeared nnwii- ; ling to strike the first blow. 1 "Now, then, strike me if yon dare," said the yonnger boy with a look ofj 1 defiance. His companion looked at bim, 1 bat did not like to strike, and at length ' said, "Nay, I have nothing to strike ' you for.** 1 "Well, then," said tbe other, who Lad provoked tbe quarrel at firat, "let us be j I I
good friends again ; fir I have nothing j I to strike for cither " They dressed, and left the field with- j 1 out.striking a blow, and never qaarroled j 1 after. One of them now holds a very respect- ! | able position as a teacher of yonth. How few battles would be fought, either among yonog people or old, if. in t | imitation of these boys, the disputants i would try to find a reaton for a quarrtl, 1 J before they itrike a blow. "The hrgioning of strife Is as when i one letteth ont w»ter ;' therefore, leave ' off contention be forest be meddled with." \ _ ~ rTTHrSLASM. Rev. Rowland Hill 'in once addres- j i sing the people at Wotton. raising him- I self, exclaffced : "Because 1 am in earn-' est men call me an enthusiast. When : I first came into this part nf tbe country j I was walking on yonder-hill, and aaw . a gravel-pit fall in aad bury three human i beings alive. I lifted np my voice for belp.RO load thai I waa heard in tbe : towc balow at a diatasc: of near a mile; I help came and reacoed two of the suf- , ferers.

No, sinner, I am no en1 thuvtasi in so doing ; and 1 call on tbet a aloud to fly for refuge to the hope sat ! before thee In tue gospel."
TRACKS. A light snow had fallen, and the boys f desired to make the most of iu It was i ; too dry for snow balling, and not deep ; enough for coasting. It did very well ■ I to make tracks iu. There was a large ' . j meadow near the place where they were j , a&sembled. It was proposed that they ^ - should go to a tree which stood near tbe ' centre of the meadow, and that each ont- ■ should start ftom it, and see who could | 1 ' make the slrarghtest track, that is, go ; * from the Wee in the aearesi approach to : 1 a straight line. The proposition was ; assented to, and they were soon at the : tree. They ranged themselves around^ j ) it, with their backs toward tbe trunk. They were equally distant from each ; other. If each had goue forward in a ; straight line' the paths would have bceu Hike the spokes of a wheel®— liic tree' j representing the hub. They wero to go I till they reached tbe boundaries of the i meadow, when they were to retrace their ■ steps to tbe tree. j Tbey did so. We wish we coold give ; a map of their tracks. Such a mup | would not present much resemblance to > the spukes of a wheel, i" . 'JY hose is the siraightest ?'.' said j j James Allison lo Thomas Sou Jets, who , was at the tree first. i "Henry Armstrong's is the ouly one] ! that is straight at all " ] ' "How could we all contrive to go so ; crookedly, when the ground is so smooth i and nothiug to turn us out of our way ?" said Jacob Small "How happened you to go-so straight j ( Heury 7" soid Thomas. "1 Gxpd uiy eye on that lull pine tree ; on the hill yonder, and' never looked I away from it till 1 reached the fence, j "1 went as straight as I could, with- j j out looking at anything but tbe ground" ] said James. 1 "So did I," said another j "So did I," said several others. j It appeared that nobody but Henry had aimed ot a particular object. They 1 attempted .ia go straight without ut:V : definite aim. They failed. Ylen cau- | not succeed iu anything good without a I definite aim In order to do good there I must be a definite aim. Genera! pu/i pores, general resolutions, will not i avail. Yoa must do as Henry did — fix | npon something distinct and definite as , j an object, and gq stea-iily forward to it. I Thus onlj- can yon succeed HOW TO TREAT AN ENEMY. ^ j If you have an enemy, and on opporI tunjly occur* to benefit bim, in mailers ' ' great or small, act like a gentleman, and 1 do him good service without hesitation. ' ] If yon would know what it is to feel no- ; ble and 'strong within thyself, ' do this I secretly and keep it secret. A 'man who fi can act thus will soon feel at ease any- ' - where. It Is said of Caliot, the emineut h ; French artist and engraver of thesevene 1 leeulb century, that he was once slan- : dered in a pasquinade by a certain no- ^ ] blemau of the court.

To this day the ! iucidenl is cited as an instance of proud ' i nobility of soul. Caliot was in the bigh- | est sense polite. Politeness is shown by passing over the fault* and foibles or those whom you meet. Cultivate this - especially towards relatives. This world is severe iq iu jodgments of those who i expose Abe faolu of kiadred, no matter i what .the provocation may be. Vulgar ! families are almost always at feud. It i is not polite to detail injuries which yon - may bare received from any one, unless there exisU some nrgent necessity for so t doing. * * j — Io a French translation of Shako- : pesre, the passage — "Frailly, thy name * is woman," ia iranelaied, "Mademoiselle . 1 Frailty is the uame of the lady I" — Way is a young lady, just left k boardin^sgjiooLJike a buildiug cummit- .

Unluckily ' i i for bim, there was quite a quantity in before he got there, so tbal it was late io the | > afternoon before he got on Jde's lot. Tbe - i water was low, consequently tbe mill (tones run rather slowly. Ide wa» hungry, and i his inner man grew uproarious, and looking I 1 ! up to the miller, he says : ' ( "Uncle Keub, 1 can eat that meal faster ! • I than you can grind it."
