How Beasle Saved Her Lover.: a " (cONCLtlOXD.) W It wat'daylight when she reached tho 1 1 stream, and in roay splendor the sun '° rising in the JcaaL Coming to the ro as If by special Providence, a boat ''t wa* there moored. Jumping in, and kit- zing one oar, with Uiejnflowing tide s1, she made a rapid journey to the opposite ahore of old Gloucester county. At 111 last ahc was free. Now for a few momeets she could real. Then to! her mind the thoughts 'of the ycsUT-nlght trooping; of hor atillurM when her apokc to licr, breaking heart, of ' lover, of her good mother, and then m tho overwhelming thought of her egoniz- cc ing sorrow her sudden Sight would w cause. Then in her hand ate held the '' paper. Which a horscman'.travclling to "The Wand" had brought her. Where 01 got it, except, he swore it was given * htm by the writer somewhere "up 01 country" he would not tell. On it was ^ written, in a trembling hand that was " evidently done by a drop of blood ! " Sept. 89, 1777. 11 My Tucx EuxabEtui— "English dogs ol capturid me bye ye Harbor River. Tbcy oi will take ma to ye brig "Venture" In lr the Harbormf New York near Long Lie. lt ' 1 amVlmgnrlying Irom ye wound I got. . i 1 scno-tms bye nune friend. God save D you." William. »i Thrn on one tide turned over; hastily ° • scrawled "For God's sake, send relief, o I dare not aak for any here." "W." , And the brave Oape May girl, alone, >, wa* going to rescue her lover in the fsr j away harbor of New York! - „ On, on, she went through the fragrant , 1 pine forest. Sometimes she would leave t the dark green trees, through whose t aged, stately top*, tho wind was sighing t lo enter a clump of cedar* around wlioae loll trunks the bright Virginia creeper ■ grew. By noon aho came to tho home of a wood chopper who gave her some . of his scanty store. At night the slept ( In a deserted barn by the side ol the , footpath, hi a neglected '-clearing." f Again, the following morning she went j on her way. Once In a while she would , " meet some one, maybe a youth who ] would gaxe Into her pretty face, possibly , a jolly fanner who hallowed to .her as ; he rode his pacing steed, probably a ( woman travelling aUme like herself, for t In those day even the stage coach had , not come to that sooth eastern port of | the state, At night, consigning her | _ spirit to the God that gave It, she would i rest within some sheltering nook for | the chill frosts of antumn had come. . Sometimes she would pass through a ; M hamlet, where she could purchase a bit. ag of food from hor scantily stored purse. Finally she entered the last stagei of -r her journey. During the long week — that she had bees travelling, ber face had become haggtred, her eyes suken, and the severe mental strain was rapidly telling even upon bqr rugged physique. " it was on a Saturday afternoon that she ' 1 entered the house of a well-to do boatman near Keypori and asked him to ^Y row her to the brig "Venture" which " lay beyond gun shot in Lower Bay. He refused telling her that she would loose her life by such a course at they would • certain he fined upon. Without a word, ' she went to the sandy shore and jumpLy ing into a akifl placed the oars In the — rowlocks. A quick turn~ef the hand w and -she was out In the waters and awsy from the sight of the astonished shoreman. Nearer and nearer ehe came to the British brig. '#um, as the black T» bEtt yo*. not totwsy, she stood lathe bow and- waving a -white "kerchief," as

flag of truce, called aloud l<> the] Thinking it to 1* some joke* they al- I m lowed her to approach ami suffered a | nr ladder to tie let over the side lo 1 1|, help her aboard. Amid the laughter | and taunt* of the men the brave cirl yi stood on deck surrounded by the crowd, j maud the protection of the Captain of ' ]„ this ship." The senior^ officer hearing |[ the tumuli came forward and scarcely ; had the noise subsided when Bessie lold ' j„ then evident surpri-e, tlien open m mouthed wonder and lastly cheers as a j *• tlie manifestation* tire sailor* took I ,n toward ber. E'rc long Bessie "went | K| below" with the captain and soon lie cs- [ ported her to tbo "fo'castle" and smiling I n withdrew.

LEE. 0 The Prodigal Son of 1887. * No. my son. it isn't that the world lias „ grown hsrd-bearted ; it Isn't that we | aren't just aa glad today to see the prodi- ] gal come bick, and just as lovingly anx- | to welcome htm home as ever was f anybody In the fifteenth chapter of Luke. , It L the manner in which the prodigal t of 1887 frequently returns that ( throws a wet blanket over the festivities , of the welcome. When he comes down , the road with hL hat hanging on bis , ear and his hands in hL pockets ; when j ho kicks the fsithful old house dog aa , lounges in at the gate ; when he calls ] hL fatner "Guv'nor," and the hired man -Cull;" when he gives hL rider 1 brother two fingers to shake, and ad- i vises him to comb the-Jisyseed out of ; ■ his hair; when 1c tliroVrs himself into , ; the easiest chair In the house, perches his feet on the window sill and announces ' , thai he'll "take a tub before dinner;" i - when be comes hack with a generally < ■ forgiving sir of good fellowship about , him, and tiles to make all the rest of family feel very easy and reassured, ' then it is, my son, that your father longs • to run and meet you wnile you are yet ■ a mat ways off. and fall upon your . neck vrith a plow-hoe and welt you Into a state of becoming humility and penitence hv the time you are ready to take > off your hat to the bound boy, wad 1 crawl up the front steps to ask voor c brother to shake hands with you. Good . people are just as glad Uwlay as they ever -were, my son, to see the prodigal 1 come home, but it doe* rattle them a , to see him oomo home in a hack and „ aak them to pay the driver and rend for e his baggage. ^ 1 'Abbott, Aardln Bo..

We asked Colonnl Marshall afterwards how it was that both he and his chief wore such fine toggery and looked so much as if they had Just turned out to go to church, while with us our outward garb scarcely rose to dignity even of the -shabby genteel.' He enlightened us regarding the contrast, by explaining that when their wagons had been pressed ! closely by our.csvalry a few days bc- . fore, and It was found that tbcy would ! have lo destroy all their baggage except ' the clothes they carried on their backs, . each one, naturally, selected the newest suit ho had, and sought to propitiate ' tho gods of destruction by a sacrifice of i hL second best."

St. Matthew is supposed to liavc sufi- fcred martyrdom, or was slain with a r sword at the city of Ethiopia, in Egypt. J St. Luke wa* 'hanged upon an olive >. tree In Greece. 1 St. John was put into a cauldron of it boiling oil at Rome and escaped, death, i. He afterward died a natural death at it Ephesus, in Asia. e St. James the Great was beheaded at if Jerusalem. St. James the Leas was thrown from a pinnacle or wing of tbqtemple, and then beaten to death with a fuller's club. '• St. Philip was hanged up against a '• pillar at HIcrapolL, a city of Phyrgia. 0 St. Bartholomew was flayed alive by 0 the command cf a barbarous king, f- St. Andrew was bound to a cross, r- whence he preached unto the people un- '• til bo expired.

' Among the French aristocrats who escaped die guillotine, in the days when it «»s a crime to have been born with a ' title, was the Marquise de Sourcy. who > lied lo England and thence lo this country with her son. a boy of fourteen. ; Her husband having been executed, j this hoy, Pierre, inherited tho title: cs.

Ho cut the smaller gourds, and made of them boxes, which he stained and decorated with black figures, drawn en silhouette. Theao boxc* said rapidly at high prices. He then invented an iceboat, which drew large crowds to the hanks of Christiana Creek when it was frozen over. -There the young Marquis was walllnit-witli thc.boats which lie had for sale.- When spring came he had several small bateaux ready to dispose of. In the garden he rained poultry and vegetables enough to supply his mother's table. .Two years passed. Pierre had wider ambitions. He built, after many, failures, a boat so Urge that in it iic was , able to the Delaware and to bring from New Jersey sand, which he sold for building purposes, no bad fiom this a steady income, and began to look with . contempt on hL toy boxes and boats. But one day the poor little MarquL, . weighted with hL cargo of sand, was overtaken by a storm on the Detaware, ' hL boat capsized and he was drowned within sight of hL home. HL mother sank undes her trouble and died the next day.
