THE SEA-CAPTAIN’S ADVENTURE. A THRILLING SKETCA. On my last voyage to Bristol, the owners of the ship took passage with me. The whole oa longed to them, and they not only wi todo some business in England, but they also had adesire to travel some. Be- sides the three owners, I had four passengers in the cabin. The passage from New York to England on that occasion was the most se- vere and stormy 1 ever made. I have expe- rienced heavier)storms, but never such con- tinued hard weather The old ship was ona strain the whole of tho time, and though I run her into the Avon without losing a life or an important spar, yet she had received much damage. Her main mast was sprung, her tim bers strained, and for the last week the pumps had to be kept going all the time, owners, pas- fengers, officers and all doing their share of work at the brakes. As soon as we could get the cargo out, the ship was hauled into the dock for repairs, and we fuund, upon examination. that it would be a week before she could be fit for sea, and if she had allthe repairs which she absolutely needed, it would take her nearer two weeks A contract was made for the job, and one of the owners agreed to stay by and superintend the work. This left me at liberty, nnd I began to look around for some place to visit. I had heard much of Salisbury Plain. The famous Stone 3 was there, and 80 were there other relics of Roman and British antiquities Ac- oraney to Salisbury Plain I resolved to go. When I went on board the ship to make ar- Tangements with the owner who had remained there, I found one of the passengers just leay- ing. Hisnamewas Nathan Leeman. He was a young mar, not more than thirty years of age, and I supposed him from his features and idiom, tebean Englishman. I told him I was going to Salisbury, and he informed me he was going the same way. Leeman had been intending to take the stage to Devizes, and thence take some of the cross coaches; hat I had resolved to take a horso and travel where,and how,and when I pleased, and he liked the plan so woll that he went im- mediately and bought Lim a good horse and saddle. It was about the middle of the forencon when we sot out. and I found that Leeman in tended to visit ie curiosities with me, and then keep cn towards London, by the way of | Andover and Chertsey, he having sent his baggage on ahead to Salisbury by the great mail route, which ran many miles of the way. I found my companion excellent company, andon the way he told me some passages from his own life. He was born in England, but this was the first time he had been in the Kingdom since he was fourteen years of age, ; ated that half a million was led to infer that at that time he | the workin, and ran away from his parents. During the last black clothes, with that and cravat which marks the officer. I turned towards our host for the = of asking if he knew the new comers, and I saw he was very pale and trembling A low, deep groan escaped him, and he arose from his chair. He in the jockey coatcame first, and his eyes rested upon Leeman and myself. “Only some travelers, Mr. Vaughan,”’ said our host. So Mr. Vaughan turned his gaze elsewhere ebout the room, and at length it was upon the old man. ‘* Well,”’ said he, ‘ what about the rent ?”’ ‘We havn't a penny of it yet, sir,’’ an- Swered the host, tremblin, “Nota penny ! Then twenty pounds ?’’ ‘ Twenty pounds?” murmured the old man» painfully. “Alas! I cannot pay it. You know Walter has long been sick, and every — 1 could earn bas been paid the doctor. You know he was to have earned the rent if he had been well.’”’ « I don’t know anything about it,”’ return- ed the landlord doggedly—for Mr. Vaughan owned the little farm, it afterwards appeared “All I know is, that you have had the house and Jand, and that for two whole years you havn’t paid meapenny.

Preparations are also making for a grand display of fireworks at night; I have ascertained from good au- thority that these alone will cost $50,000; so you can judge from this how things are done up in London. “A row is anticipated next Sunday on ac- count of the Lord Mayor mopping the music in the parks on Sundays, and I have no doubt the mob will give his Honor a ‘rapping.’ They did not miss the music last Sunday, as it was a very disagreeable day; but if next Sunday is a fine one I think there will be quite an excitement. “I visited Hyde Park last Sunday week and never witnessed such a crowd.

We took dinner at Bradford, a large manu- facturing town, six miles southeast of Bath, and as soon as our horses were rested, we set out again. Towards the middle of the after- noon the sky began to grow overcast, and we hed promise of a storm. By 5 o’clock the great black clouds were piled up in heavy masses, aud it began to thunder. At War- minster we took the direct road for Albany, a distance of fourteen miles, and when this storm had clcsed upon us we were about half way between the two places. I was in no particular hurry, and as 1 had no desire to { | ment for a time. “I was at the last grand reception of the Queen—dressed in quite a laughable dress to my own countrymen—and enjoyed myself very well, considering I war mostly among strangers.

He told us that we should have the best his humble pluce could afford, and that if we would put up with that, we should be wel- come, As soon as the horses were taken care of, we followed the old man into the house. He was a grey-headed man, certainly on the down-hiil side of three score, and his form was bent by hard work. His countenance was naturally kind and benevolent, but there were other marks upon his brow than those of old age. The moment I saw him, I knew he had seen much of suffering. It was a neat room to which we were led, a living room, but yet free from dirt and litter. An old woman was just building a fire for the supper, and as we entered she arose from her work. ** Some travelers, wife, caught in the show- er,” said the old man. “ Surely, gentlemen, you’re weleome,’’ the woman said, in a tone so mild and free that I know she spoke only the feelings of her soul. “It's a poor fare we can give, but the heart of the giver must e’en make up for that.”’ Ithanked the good people, and told them that I would pay them well for all they did for us. “Speak not of pay,’’ said the old woman, taking the tea kettle from the hob, and hang- ing it on the crane - “Stop, wife,’’ uttered the old man tremu- lously. ‘Let not your heart run away with ye. If the good gentlemen have to spare out o’their abundance, it becomes not such suffer- ers as we to refuse the bounty. I saw the woman place the apron to her eyes. but she made no reply The door close by the fire-place, stood partly oper, and I sawin the room beyond, a bed, and I was sure there was some oneimit. I asked the old man if he had sickness. ** Yes,’’ he said, with a shake of the head ‘«My poor boy has been sick a long while. He’s the only child I have—the only heiper on the little farm—and he’s been sick now all the epring andsummer I’ve taken care of the sneep, but I couldn’t plant. It’s hard, but we don’t despair. My good wife—God bless her—shares the trial with me, and I think she takes the biggest share.”’ «No, no, John, don t say se,’’ uttered the wife, ‘‘no woman can do the work that you 0.” *«T don’t mean to tell too much, Margaret, only you know how you’ve kept me up.”’ _ A callfrom the sick room took the wife away, and the old man then began to tell me, in answer to my questions, some of the pecu- liarities of the great Plain, for we were on it now; and I found him well informed and in- telligent. Atlongth the table was set out, the clean white cloth spread, and we were in- vited to sit up. We had excellent white bread, sweet butter, some fine stewed damsons, and a capital cup of tea. There were no ex- cuses, no apologies—only the food was before us and we were urged to help ourselves. While we were sais: the rain ceased falling, but the weather was by ne moansclear, though just as we moved from the table a gleam of golden light shot through the window from the setting sun. é. It may have been an hour after this—it was not more than that—when a wagon drove up to the door, in which were two men. The old man had just come.in from the barn, and it was not so dark but we could see the fates of the men in the wagon, They were middle habi sort of SOPLDR Ge gu and the other drewed in | a ares home ate a pepe pe in speaking is proud, defiant, and fall of a sion, cunpesell by educated discretion.’’ ai i> In her description of the United States Madame Pfeiffer says : ‘* There are such extraordinary numbers of poetessess, authoresses, female composers, and | s0 forth, that, if I were to mention the names | | | | of all who have been introduced to meas such 1 should fill whole pages with them.

Eardley, mentioned the fact that a railroad is about to be established from the Mediterranean to Jerusalem, with a sanction of the Turkish and British Govern- ments, and thatit is likely that the material of the line from Balaklava to Sebastopol will bs transferred forthe purpose.

The Norfolk papers state that William fZaen who was ied in that city for an at- tempt to carry off slaves, has been sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. There are four more indictments against him, and asthe evidence is the same, he will probably have to spend a considerable portion of his existence in the service of the State.
