I knew it would be useless to apply for release amid the noise and confusion that prevailed, and, with feelings wrought up to a pitch almost intolerable, tound myself compelled to descend again, and abide the issue of the storm. I entered tHe af- ter cabin, where there was a lamp suspended in the centre, under an inverted compass (for the convenience of the captain consulting du 0 o ' ,11 ii -j planks to a sofa that was lashed to the lee side of the cabin, I lay down in no comfortable state of mind. The lamp spread a strong ligh around, but it only added. to the dreariness the scene, as the salt water was dripping from above in a continuous shower. The ship eve- rv moment plunerinff headlong down, amid the gorges of the deep,' as if never more to rise the waves, after each rebound, comiug dashing up against tne stern winuows, witn a snoc-K ina threatened to smash them in, dead lights and all the fitful creaking of the chain bv which the helm is managed, the booming and singing of the gale thro the strained cordage, all com mingled with the wild and indistinct cries on deck, the supplicating ejaculations of the awe struck passengers, and the certainty of immedi ate danger, tended to superinduce reveries, o the most glaring character I lay with my head towards the stern, so that I could see forward through the doorway into the main cabin, and I had continued lor a con siderable time vacantly gazingin that direction, when I observed to my astonishment, the figure of a man descend ihtTcompanion (backward as usual' he stepped forward into the glare of the fmp, e, an it pa at the same time turning his face towards and I recognized the features of Old Jack pale and haggard, such as I had never seen hem before; and there was a glaring horror expressed in his fixed expanded eyes, that chil- ed through me with a shuddering of fear and amazement combined. He was apparelled in lis oil-skin jacket, or surtout, with his south- vester on his head, both of which were dripping vith water. I raised myself on my elbow, and endeavored to speak and ''ask what he wanted, put there was something in the appearance of he man that actually struck me dumb. A.fter taring wildly towards me for a few moments, ae raised his hands, both of which I perceived o be mangled and dripping with blood, and be jan waving them about, gasping at the same ime like a man in the agonies of -suffocation. instantly concluded that he had been hurt on teck, and had been sent down to. get his wounds ressed, and to be out of the way, when he could no longer be of use. Under the impres sion that he was fainting, I sprang towards him, to prevent him falling, but he suddenly rece ded towards the deck main cabin, and the next moment disappeared ! I thought he had slip ped down, and groped about for him at random for some time, but not getting my hands upon him, I called out his name--hstened no an swer I called again a deep respiration half sigh, half moan, close beside me, made me protrude my hand towards the spot, but I drew it back much more quickly than I had advanced it, on receiving a smack on the arm that almost dislocated my wrist. It was from the fin of a huge turtle, which the captain had taken a fancy to keep in, the cabin ina tub of salt water. My interest was too much excited by the appearance I had just seen, to allow me to attend to this casualty, which afterwards pained me much ; and after searching some time longer for Olcl Jack in -vain, I resolved to go on deck and mention !, the cicumstance to the captain. On getting up to the hatchway, lo ! it was fastened down as close as ever, although I was positive that it. could not have been raised and shut again without my hearing it. 1 retued to the sofa and lay down again in a state of feierish bewilderment that did not abate, although the galeand sea grew gradually calmer as morning advanced. Between three and four o'clock, being then good day-light, and a moderate favorable breeze having succee ded the late hurricane, the captain came be low to re tire to rest. I immediately questioned him as to, Old Jack having been "in the cabin during the night. He answered 'it was im possible.' 'Could he not have been down,' I rejoined, 'without your hearing of it!' 'Im possible!' he again replied, somewhat impa tiently; 'no, no, there was too much work for him on deck. I had him in my eye during the whole morning.' And has he met with no ac cident; are not his hands bruised?' he looked me long &, earnestly in the face, with an expres sion "of countenance which I could not then but afterwards did comprehend; he thought my brain had become affected by the terrors of the past night. 4 Why, Mr. ,' said he, 'yoii had better ask himself; you will find him aft at the wheel.' I went above accordingly, and there, to be sure, found Old Jack at his post, as hale and hearty as ever I saw him. He bade me good morning, and made some gruff, but good humoured remarks about the tight breeze' we had had; whilst he was Speaking I examined his horny hads, but could not discern the slightest scratch upon them. I knew not what to think all things contributed to assure nie that I had been imposed upon by an optical delusion. But the impression remained im dehble. j it was exactly a month from ihn dat nf the above strange InciSerrt, thafcl wag seated alone in the .main cabin, about three 'clock in, the afternoon, Teading -perhaps for the twentieth t, ,ae an old number of Blackwood, We were nearing-tbe banks of Newfoundland had been "running all that day before a southerly breeze, at the rate f nine knots an hour At the hour SO I speak of, the wind had chopped rotrad to ihe 1 i.-i .. .. .rr.- i-i. west, ana tne oosition ot th sail was? Aoi-vi- ingly to be shifted. After the canvass aloft had been righted, I heard the captain call but to heave round the spanker boom.' The men were engaged in this operation, when, suddenly, a shout of alarm was raised a rush of feet across he deck and the next moment were vocilera- ed confused cries of ' down with the helm !' back the yards!' 'aft here to lower the boat! I rushed upon the deckv i he cause of the confusion was indeed a melancholy one. In swinging about the mizen boom, the wind had qaught the sail suddenly, and Jirked it round with so much force that it had knocked a man overboard. I looked over the ship's side; it was Jack. He had caught hold of the mizen sheet in falling, and was clinging to it with the tenacity of desperation. All was confusion on board; some were clearing away ine Doai, omers throwing barrels, tubs, nd what other the readiest articles that lay about, overboard; others again were backing the sails in vain : such was the impetus under with the ship was sailing, that it was found impracticable to bring her up against the wind for a considerable time; and, long eye it was accomplished, poor Jack had literally been torn from his hold by the oposing waters, but his had indeed been the grasp of despair ! When the rope was after wards examined, not only blood, but even pieces of the flesh of his fingers, were found engrained on it. I could only be a passive spectator of this scene of death. When the old i . .1 t it man lost hold of the rope, we continued to cheer him by cries and signals to keep up while , the boat was lowering, but his strength had been exhausted. A flock of sea fowl', with ominous screams, gathered over him ; he gradu ally sunk, until' nothing but his southwester was discernable above the Water, and then he seemed to make one ilast awful struggle for life. He threw his arms aloft, with an energy that raised his body half out of the water. I distinctly saw the dreadful contortions of his features his gaspings of agony the ex panded eyes of horror the outstretched hands dripping with blood, Oh, God ! I could not be mistaken !. It was indeed the apparition I had seen a month before, in the dead of v"..,.'giiv and which had haunted r t?r since ! A dim ness ca.nreover my eyes, and as the cries of ne's down! he's down!' sounded in my ea rs, I fell back insensible." ' Anecdote of his present majesty, when duke of clarence. The royal duke, accom panied by a lady of rank, used to bring the cele brated Master Iletty to sit to Mr. Northcote for his portrait. One day, the prince, tired per haps of doing the looking on, began to amuse himself by quizzing the personal appearance of the painter; whose small form enveloped in a loose parched morning gown, crowned with scattered white locks, not much indebeted to the comb and scissors for arrangement, was as singular, as the man himself. As the painter pursued his task, the prince twitched the collar of his robe; upon, which the artist suddenly turned round and signified his displeasure by a frown. Regardless of this tacit reprOof, his royal highness lifted up the painter's grey focks with his linger, observing, " you .do not devote much time to the toilet how long may it oc cupy you?" Mr. Northcoat, turning round, replied calmly, "sir, I never allow any one to take personal liberties with me. You are the first who ever presumed to do so ; and I beg your royal highness to recollect that I am in my own house." He then resumed his work. The prince was silent, and soon after went away, without waiting for his carriage, though it rained ; contenting himself with an umbrella which he borrowed from the painter. When the duke was gone, the lady observed, "Ilfear, Mr. Northcote, you have highly offended his royal highness." "Madam," he replied, "I am the offended party." The next day, a tap at the door of the painter's studio was followed by the entrance of the royal duke. "Mr. North cote," he said, " I am come to return the um brella, which you were so good as to lend me yesterday. I brought it myself, that I might have the opportunity of saying, that I yesterday, thoughtlessly took a very unbecoming liberty! witn you, and you properly resented it. I real ly am angry with myself, and hope you will for give me, and think no more of it." "And what did you say?" inquired the friend to whom he first related the circumstance " Say ? gude God ! what would'ee.haire me have said? Why no thing; I only bowed, and he might see what I felt. I could at that instant have sacrificed my life for hirn. Such a prince is worthy to be a king.": London paper, Children.

If a happy marriage has given and ensures to mart peace at home, let there be no dread of the caprices of chance; bis happiness is sheltered from the strokes of fortune. A wife, gentle and affectionate, sensible and virtu ous, will fill his whole heart, and leave no room for sadness. What will he care for the loss of property when he possesses this trea sure? Is not his house sufficiently magnifi cent as long as she commands respect to it spienaia ' enough, as long as her presence adorns it r A cottage where virtue dwells, is lar superior to a palace : it becomes a temnle. If he were deprived of a hieh a valuable office, he would scarcely notice it, for he oc cupies the first and betf place in the heart of her he loves. If he be not separated from her, banishment itself cannot become to him anentire exile; for in her person he views an image of his country. Through her exertions order reigns in his house-hold, as well as peace to the soul. If miustice or intrratiiudp irritate m r,i.;a.r0 u: her caresses will appease and console him. Her commendation is glory ; she too is his conscience, he thinks himself good when he raises her affections, and great when1 she admires him. He sees in her reason personi fied, and wisdom in her action, for she feels all that the philosophers of every age have onjy thought. As modest as the violet, she shuns display, and diffuses in the shades around her, the per fume of virtue and happiness. Labonrs, pains, pleasures, opinions, senti ments and thought are in common between them; and as he never expresses more or less, than what she feels, he reads at a glance her thoughts, in her gestures; and even in her eyes, he can apply to her what used to be said ofPompey when young : "The thought was uttered before the voice had sound."
