Hath no one regre‘uted some wasted hour When 1T8 scorned the fruits of learning’ A iairer morning never shone than that on which Captain Jesse Amazeen leftthe Long Wharf cl Oldenport behind him. There wasjust breeze enough to fill the great sails of the pilot-boat an] float her along upon the smooth harbour-water. over the bar, and out to sea, till she lay like a cloud, belond the sand-spurs and the breakers,on the horizm‘s rim. To the lounger on the capstan at the warfs end in the town she looked like a sea-bird that had spread its wings and was hovering over its prey, at last she vanished from his sight and fancy altogether. The sky was freshlv washed from mist and murk the air was full of its morning sparkle ; there was a vig- our in the full sweep oi sunlight over one, felt like the bubble of a draught of wine. Captain Jesse Amazeen whistled lustily at the helm, and every now and then paused to Wet his whistle, while the boy and man who were his his companions sang scraps of song and served out plugs ot tobacco. and gauged hooks for deepAsea fish- ing, and made themselves merry in general till some craft shoulu. heave in sight for Captain Jesse to hail and board and pilot up to town. But in all the range of his glass no craft appeared of larger siZe than his own, except those already making for another harbour on the other side of the Capeâ€"and the morning wore into lorenoon, and the i'orenoon into noon. The charm ofthe long unbroken day‘ at sea, when one is to put back to lamiliar port and household scenes‘ at night, never lessens, even to such an old sea-dog as Captain Jesse. The wide sweet solitude never grows monotonous or weari- some, trifles become circumstance a gull winging by is an event, cur‘ rents, winds, strange sails, are in-l cidents sufficient, the guest of all out-doors does not tire of the hospi- tality he receives. Nevertheless, when dailv bread depends on yet somethi .th more, this mete person- al enjoyment of space and height, ofthe curling wave beneath the pruw. and the vast level plain to to the ocean’s edge, gives, place to the object for which one came ; and Captain Jesse at last went below forty winks, with the sun at the top ofhis eternal round, in order that he might come up all fresh for afternoon work, for it would be an odd dav i-J his experience if before night-fall there should be no work to do. Captain Jesse came up all right and bright at close of his for- ' ty winks; and the boy and man , took their turn below in a series of u powers ‘1 0r deplo ed some advice unwii’iufly given That hath tumed another’s step from hea- L ven?

RICHDIOND HILL, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1866. “ Let Sound Reason weigh more with us than VPopulcw Opinion So one delightful dream melted into another, and down in the hot little strifling black-hole ol a cabin this hour broke upon‘the next, and all vanished together like foam, till with a long dull scratch resounding beneath them, and then a shock of suddenly ceased motion, the sleep- ers woke, rub’oed their stupid eyes in bewilderment, gathered their scattered wits, rushed up the nar~ row companion-way to the deckâ€" and found the boatâ€"after floating about at its o'wn sweet will and driftingin on the tideâ€"now lay with shallow water everywhere about it, ashore, and firmly wedg- ed in a Sand-bar; and as for Cap- tain Jesse Amazcen he was no- where to be seen. The redoubtab'e individuals looked about them in perplexity, inconstemaiion, in amazement. they had left Captain Jesse on deckâ€"it was a physical impossibilily that he could be any- where else. Perhaps now he was behind the mai’nsail? No. Under the seat .7 No- hen he must have gotten out in the shoal water to push the boat off? No! Why, where in time was he ? Had he gone below tofhide and frighten them? But then ‘Ca'ptain Jesse was not a manythat played tricks. Could he havaiallen asleep again, and so have falfeu overboard 'l Was there any earthly Io: {unearthly rea- son for him to have-made away with himself ta; have commited suicide- _ 1,1' .“ i-‘cHetve their senses, they hallooed and shouted and danced about like madment But while this worthy pair had been taking it so easily below deck Captain Jesse had been in far less enjoyable plight. Left alone at the helm of the pilotboat, and the sun beating ardently down upon him he had thrown ofi'janket and west- coat, and with the least possible accoutrement endured the hot as- sault ofthe day and awaited his fortunes. ,There was not. a sail to be seen ; his assisants Were still in their bunks belowâ€"he let them sleep ; and cast and trolled his blue fish line, if happily any lighting; lellow should come across the bait None (lidâ€"the solitude seemed in- fectiousâ€"desert above the waters, desert below. The sea began to darken and ripple in one place, the. ripple cicpt his way. brushed along by a deceitful little waft of Warm win'J. ‘ We’ll leave these parts.’ said Captain Jesse ; and he put his helm to larboard that he might to and trim the mainsail. He thought' he put his helm to larboardâ€"it was a little mistake he madeâ€".he had put it precisely the other way ; he“ bent to loosen a rope, the boat came up in the wind, the sale slappedl over. and the heavy boom brushed him like a feather from its course, and tossed him far out into the sea as lightly as a flake offoam. When Captain Jesse came to the surface after his sudden plunge, rose, struck out, and shook the water from his eyes, the pilotâ€"boat, her sails filled with the deceitiul breeze only to be forsaken by it presently. had swept far forward on her, hail-l ed her again and again, but there was nobody to anSWer ; in vain pnttingtorth all his powers as a swimmer, he tried to reach her, she fled before him ; and the distance grew, stretching Itself like a thread of infinity. The little breeze [led with her, left the sea all calm and still behind, but darkly ruffled the way before and blew her on in its sport, He had endeaVoured, with the energy of despair, to keep in her wake, that even if he might not overreach her he might be Observe ,ed by the sluggards should they ever come on deck ; but now, at last, he saw that it was no use for him to depend the remnant of his strength in idle efforts to compete with the winged thing; he must be content, to float about till he could be picked up ; muz be con- tent, perhaps, to drown. He 'lifted himself up, treading water, 1and searched the whole horizonâ€" ‘it was empty as a last year’s nest â€"and he lay tack with his hands iolasped behind him, his mouth justi , higher than the surlace, and the, iwhole ocean seething in his ears. ‘lBytimes, as he lay there and the ilaggard instants crawled by on the vripple ofthe tide, the fatigue, the suspense, the fear grew insupport- He sprung forward in the waierl will] new energy, and again and‘ again searched the sea with swill eager glances. It was all as empiy‘ a: the skey itselfâ€"«empty of every l thing save colnur and lightâ€"an» "azure and plliless hollow, out of thl’) lanced golden arrows at lhe hollow as vast and as pililess be’ low; for the great sea lifted its worse straits than this“ .bfi’mt'éwfd": day. One black ltlgl'll, the sea running sluices, he had gone off to bring a schooner ‘into a port, and his boat had stamped beneath her bows, the mast had broken and the sail had taken him over and under wrapped about and about with its told a mummy, and the waves had sucked him into their huge hunng hollows a powerless atom. God knows how he got out againâ€"lie never did. Nor that only, As he lay in the placid, sottly singing sea there came a fine sweet sound of distant bellsâ€"ahernoon bells ring- ing at once from the beli'ries of all the sohoolsin the great town, or else gay wedding bells, or perhaps alarms of fire. Tlte mingled tones stole out to him like half-lost chimes, with a .vild music in their cadences; he began to fashion them into tunes, the tune perhaps his wife was singing with one footl upon the cradle at this moment. He saw the children trooping into scho>l by the music, his own prefty Carrot-top with them, swinging her Shaker and dancing on while the sun beat out every thread of her yellow hair to gold, and little Nick lagaing along and throwing hand- l‘uls ofstreet-dust over the urchin lagging with himâ€"a trick for which the imp had had many a good shaking; he only Wished )1 were in his power to give him a good shaking now l Then the bell- notes came slower, and yet more slowly; they were tolling~tolling for himâ€"or was he fainting? Per- haps soâ€"it might have beenâ€"had notJust then some indistinguisha- ble object shot swiftly by him in the bark slippery depth, some fish or moster of the deepâ€"and with that came the thought of sharks. This wasthe weather; these were the watersâ€"Good Heaven! Coffing or Cluney, or anyhodyâ€"â€"help ! No man-eaters about these shores ! Why, he knew better! He had seen them to his cost. And young Ben Eaton. had to the cost of hislife itself. What course would there be for him to take? The exertions that terrified and drove off the nibb- ling shoaes might be theVet-y thing to attack the large and more cun- ning cruel creature. There was indeed but one way to face himâ€"- just so long as he looked at a shark as he turned and kept him eye to eye, just so longe the cowardy wretch would delay attack; it be- hoved him to by warvthcn, to keep his senses in condition to be ready to fight his foe should he come. ' "Phis is ii,’ though; Captain Jesse. ‘Drowning is only slow anoptexy, the doctor said. I am drowning.7 A few seconds afterwards he wonâ€" dered why’he did not recall his sins, as he had heard that peOple In his condition werP apt to (10,333 then he began to remember with a vengance. Then, in defiance of ghosts, and ends, and fate itself. he gave a score of stout strokes, leaped up and swept the sea again with his piercing glance, hailed some chance ear, and set. his teeth and fell back to float once more, determined not to drown. He re- membered that he had been in ah'e ; he trod water and looked around him again with an eve that scrutinised each distant crest and foam-bell, or else summoned his forces and his will to the rescue and swam wildly and vaguely about he knew not whither. His brain was becoming so bewildered that he could not direct himself, and in which direction to make .hat' he might soonest reach some shore he found himself unable to decide. But what a Crazy dream! there was no shore in sight. The sense, then that he must wait for others, and could do nothing lor himself, wax- ed into pOSitive suffering, His limbs got languid, too, in the warm an! pleasant, water; the sun play- ing on his bare - head made his brain light and giddy; a strange pulse was going like a little trip hammer upon his temple, an!l bright and beautiful colours shot their woven beams before. his burn- ing eyes with evory other breath. WNV MMVVWW,/\WAA ‘ l'v'ame leltv chilly and chillier to poor Captain Jesse. He wondered if its temperature had changed, and then thought of complaining to some one that his feet were cold; afterwards he remembered him. selflwith an eflort, and began to swim .afresh. A wave came runn- ing over another and dashed in his face, a second followed it, a third lifted him to an fro; there were hneand tiny cups of foam every- where .ribbmg the expense; the tide was falling, and a gentle wind had begun to blow on,just enough to roughen the, water and make a ridge and trough, in which a stout fresh swimmer would have had ado to keep his headway. His mouth and throat kept filling with the brine; the salt sea spume broke remorselessly over him; it was of no use to swim; told its hands be- hind his backâ€"there was nothing now but browning.

It was a contest only to abar‘don, Captain Jesse was brave man naturally; he had looked on great- er danger and never quaiLed ; hat that was because exnectaiion and will were then his allies. Now, tossed about in the tide. his mind had weakened as his energies ex- hausted; and cold and numb as he had grown, his heart was coler yet within him. Drowning out there all alone !â€"â€"the thought made him ache with horror. The awful part of it, perhaps, was the drow- ing all alone. If the had been some one with him, other casta- ways, a hand to take hold and go down with him, a receding step voiceslrom the shorel And then the entrance all alone into eternity, that great unknown, that vaster, vaguer deep! All alone â€"while' the horror was yet still upon him, the ringing in Captain Jesse’s ears, the hollow sounding of the sea, re- solved into a kind of solemn music yet a music, full of glad, harmoni- one tumults. He heard the very words as in his young days he had himsellmany a time sung them in the choir, an as he had scarcelv thought ofthetn sinceâ€" ' While his almighty aid his nigi‘itff He looked idly up, and a shining thing hung before him in the hea‘ vens, rank upon rank of snowy pointed wings joining over the‘ heads of angels and arehangels; and behind them and above them, rising in golden gleam, the lilie- ness of a cloud-built cit) shone, with domes, and minera‘es, and spires. ‘ And the twelve gates were twelve pearls, every several gate was of one pearl, and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.’ And then. in Captain Jesse Amazeen’s disordered fancy, a hand touched his indeed, but a hand as if to lead him up and on; a face bent over ‘him, a face like a white star, that lglowed with a deep,' deep smile, land warmed his chill lainting soul. Swoet voices murmured all about lhim; one said, ‘And there was no more sea.’ Ah if this were drowningâ€"this delicious death! A film faded away from Captain Amazeen's vision, as a mist strips slowlv oil from a morning meadow he was plunging and rocking with a very diflerent motion from that iewclled walls l‘ke the rim of a cup, and all in; smooth and level splendour slanted up from where he lay, an idle speak at the wane and boilom olillc cup.
