' MISCELLANY.
MONEY BELOW TAR.
OB, THE JACK-KNIFE VERSUS 20,000.
A ship was driven out of her course,
jj 1 C ..
; aim cast away wimin sigm ui uu uu-
lt known coast A II on board might have
escaped in the boats, though rather
crowded, but one ot the passengers, on
their refusing to admit his trunk in any
boat, remained in- the ship to unfasten
it and get out his pocket-book, which
contained notes to the n mount fX20,
000. This, he thought,, would detain
him a moment, and he requesrrd them
to wait, bin in ihe hurry and confusion
of the naometj, he could not immediate
ly recollect" what he ha'd done with the
key of his trunk. Having found it at
last, and secured the money, he perceiv
ed to nis dismay, that every boat was
oiit of sight, whiie the ship was falling
aart, and suddenly he found himself in
theea.
Catching at some article . that, was'
,'fioafiiig by, he clur.g to it almost micon
' scimisiy, not relaxing .his hold even?
when his senses were failing. - Vortti
liateiy, he was floating ; to land, and
when he revived, he found himself ly
ing on the beach. As soon as hi
strength returned, he ascended ,an einiri
'nence, but. could see no sign of the
wreck, or boats, or any human creature.
But, as he was " leaning dcspondingly
against a tr c, he was suddetdy startled
by being clapped on the shoulder, while
a voice in his ear exclaimed
'What cheer, my beauty ?i
' Turning around, he gladly recogniz
ed one of the crew, and inqmied what
had become of, the, retf.
. '-Why, 1 don't know, but I suppose
they are saf by this time, j but I have
aeu nothing of them.
'Were you with them in the boats V
'No, I stayed on board to the last.'
'And so did I, though I was not a-
ware of your being aboard. 1 hope you
succeeded as well as I did in saving
your property.'
'I had nothing io save but ajack
Jcnife and a plug of tobacco both safe
enough in my trousers pockets.'
Then why did yon not think of sa
ving yourself at once?"' .
'No, I could not think of leaving the
ship as long as the planks held together.
-She-could not say lb t I was not true
to the last. But, come, comrade, let us
see what kind of quarters we have got
into. : '
They travelled some distance with-
out any sight of a habitation. Necessi
ty quickened their ingenuity ; they
were successful in occasionally catching
fish, oysters, or birds, in all which the
sailor's jack-knife proved of invaluable
service, in preparing the proper snares
and weapons, in opening the oysters,
cutting up, or cleaning the fish or" birds,
above all, in "striking a light to make a
fire for the purpose of cookery. Once,
also, when they were attacked by a
wild beast, the sailor, by a prompt use
of his jack-knife, saved their lives.
They bad lived in this manner for some
months, when arriving at the opposite side
of the island, they fouml it inhabited by
savages, who cond&cted them to their
kins-
The gentleman, anxious to conciliate his
copper-skinned majesty, produced a five
.hundred pound bank note, and politely of
fered it to his acceptance. I he king ex
amined it with some curiosity, applied it to
his nose and tongue, and. being satisfied
that it was not gcod to eat, returned it with
contempt. The gentleman soon found out
that bis twenty thousand pounds could not
procure him the smallest consideration.
The sailor, on the contrary, in' a few .days
" became a personage of great importance,
V for the many services which he was ena
.bled to render with his jack-knife, among
a people where iroij was unknown. They
liberally supplied all their wants, and his
rich friend was glad to profit by his boun
' ty. : v-. ' .- . ' '
One day as they were attending the king
on an eminence overlooking the sea, they
descried a distant snil evidently imssing the
island. They kindled a bonfire and lioist
" ed signals, but they did not succeed in at
tracting notice.
'If we only had a boat,' exclaimed the
sailor, 'I think we couldjjet within bail,
and she docs not stand far out, though it is
plain she intends to pass without touching
this way.'
The gr.tlemnn prod need his twenty
" thousand pounds, and offered it to the
king in exchange for a canoe, but hi ma
jesty rejected the roll of paper, and turn
d to the sailor with a single word -'knife.'
The bargain was immediately closed,
Uhe jack-knife was received by the king
with no less delight than was experienced
ty the Englishmen as they jumped into the
anoe. By dint of hard paddling, and a
favorable current, tbey got within hail and
were taken aboard of the sh p, which pro
- -ved to be an English vessel, homeward
bound. : " '':'; .?'. f- '".
As they came in sight of the white cliffs,
the gentleman took the-sailor one side and
handed him two notes, which amounted to
a thousand pounds and Slid
'You must not refuse to accept this, for
you have done for me more than twenty
; times as much as I couid have done. I
; trust you may find these bills, one day -or
other, as useful as your jack-knife has been.
I have learned by-this time that a man's
wealth is to be measured not by the extent
of his possessions, but by the use of what
he possesses.'
,'Your stairs are very dark, Mr. Dun
son; do you think.C can find the bottom?'
'Nothing easier, my dear madam. AH you
have to do is to let go the balusters and
. make a tumble.'
. - - : A HOME.-.
If we were to tell numbers of our
friends that they do it know- what a
'home" is, they would grow somewhat
indignant perhaps use hard words.
And. yet it may le rernardedV that ihe
numler of persons who know what a
genuine home is, by experience, is sur
prisingly few. One man in good cir
cumstauces will tell us that he has a
fine hons of his own in which every
comfort aud convenience are provided.
He has a wife and children there also,
and they give life to the plaee. Very
true. I But docs he preler that home,
thus furnished and eulivpned, to every
other place in the world? Doeshe sigh
when the hour for leaving comes,- and
smile when he is permitted to rettin.?
Does he love to sit by the cheeiful fir
and fondle the children, entering into
all their little disputes with a' curious
interest ? Does hn take particular note
of the birds in the cage, and the cat m ar
the fire 1 If not, he lias no home, in the
dearest sens of the word If his mind
is altogether absorbed iri the dusty ways
of huMMess if he hurries from the house
iu' the morning, and is loth to return at
night if, while he is at homy, he con
tinues to think, of the -.journal and the
ledger and reptlsv the advance of the
prattling children, he has no home; he
only h;ts a place wltere he lodges and
takes his meals.
Ah ! happy is he who knows ai;d ap
preciates the full Miss ot home ; whose
heart is wasmed and harmoijzed by its
cheerful influence, and "'-who feels how
superior in purity ol pleasure are all its.
enjoyments to the turmoil delight of in
door life. Thrice happy is such a man.
He has discovered the only paradisi
this world can afford. It is only such a
man who can have a deep and sincere
pity for the unfortunate creatures who
are homeless. He regards them os be
ing cut off from the best iu fie nee of the
earth, and exposed to the action of all
the darker waves of life. He feels keen
ly for him who has no fireside no dear
ones to welcome him with smiles, and
prattle over the history of the day, no
tongue to soothe him when heavy cares
have troubled the mind and rendered
his heart sore; aud the sympathy of
such a man is not slow to overflow in
acts of benevolence. A good home is
the source of the fountain of .charity in
the heart.
Our advice to those who have no
homes, such as we have described above
is, to get them as soon as possible.
They can never be contented and sub
st tntialit ciarens, nor thoroughly happy
men, until they follow this counsel. Get
homes. Fill them with the objects of
love aud endearment, and seek there for
the pure d lights which the world besi
des cannot afford. -
He who is accustomed to commune with
himself in retirement, will sometimes at
least, be impressed with the truths which
the multitude will nbt tell. him.
