The Bl‘itifih vessel was the Meteor, a fast sailor whose armament consisted of twenty- eight guns. She was a well built; double- decker, and had seen much survive in the war which had raged almost three years between Great Britain and her American colonies. Her speed and her formidable armament had made her a tumor to American veSSels in European waters. Her commander a sea.- borne-Englishman, named Gilderoy, was an oxficer of undoubted courage end cunning, to which he added a vindictiveness that render- ed him obnoxious to many of his own crew. Do you know ybur ilxwé‘ ns‘k’ed 5er the .costliest " thing-"3': I ‘ ' Ever madé'hy the hand ubmre : A woman’s heart, and awomzm’sylife, And a. woman's wonderful love? _ . , Do you know you have risked {or this rg'iceless thing ‘ ‘ As a child might ask for a. toy, \Vith tho reckless dash of a boy ? Toward the close of an October day in 1777, rt vessel railing in a south-westerly direction crossed the fifty seventh degree of north latitude. Her heel piowed the waves of the North Atlantic, and her destination seemed to be the Azores. She was sailing before it Hmong wind. and the arrangement of her sails indicated flight. If flight, from whom ‘2 The naked eve could perceive no pureuer on the busum of the ocean; but the sea-glasses, leveled by a. number of British officers, who graced the clean decks, revealed a. dark epecii en the watery rim of the Ninth- ern horizon. ‘ ' The Mulaur was flying from a new and iormidable (ocwllying with a. hold filled with booty. On the day preceding the one that had just closed upon her in flight, she lfid captured uu Amcxioan cruiser. latter a spirit- ed COlltUbl}. ’l‘he prize had proved one of value, and Captain Gilderoy did not wish to risk an engagement with the vessel follow- ing in hid wake. Captain Conyuglmm the pursuer, was a second Paul Jones. He was one of the most daring syirits of out then infant navy, and his name had become a. terror along the coast of England. He pursued and captur- ed a number UK British ships, which he eith- er burnt ur suit into friendly ports; and when he Lies-cried the Meteor, fresh from her victory, he hesitated not to crowd all sail and give chase. “ He still follows‘,” were the wards that fell from his lips ; “ but with the help of No_p‘tnne‘wu’_l_l outin‘il him _in thgnighti" Though the officer spoke with much ssr surmce, there lurked in his tongue a. latent fear whwh l is companions detected, and ex- changed sigmficunt glances. There were men on the deck of the Re- venge, as Uonyngham's vessel was appropri- ately named, who watched the flying Englishman. Much speculation concerning the result of the chase ranJhrough the sev- eral groups, and Conyngham smiled when he turned to reply to the words of ayouhhful Lieutenant who stood beside him, sea- .glass in hand. Over the face of the deep, night was tel; ting, and the vessel kept straight before the wind, to the joy of its ccmmandor who had lately spoken. The shadows gradually veiled the far-away pursuor from sight, and when the officers separated, expressions of triumph were on their lips. v “ We can outsail her, Gilbert,” the Ameriu can captain said, with emphasis. “ This wind favors us bush alike, and in the calm that will soon prevail, she must lay by till day.” â€" “I am confident that Miss Temple is on boardrthc Englishman,” he said. at last. The young uflicer turnad from his captain and again his eyes were strained to make out the form of the ship rapidly disappearing among the p: availing shadows. “ The fairest prizs old. Gilderoy has cap Lured in many a long day?” remarked Conynghum, With a laugh at the lieutenant’s smile, and the flash that lighted up the depths of his anxious eyes. The calm prophésiud by the Amcrlcan captain fell upon the ocean shortly after the descent of darkness. It worried Gilderoy, and he held frtquent consultations with his oflicers, now on deck, now in hm state loom. He held consultation in the latter place over a bottle of choice wine, and under the liquor’s influence he soundly cursed the Yagkeq priyatccr. Becalmed «,n the water and beneath the stars. the Meteor lay like a huge, slumbering leviathan. flur lights were hidden, and the spectral figures that trod her decks conversed in whispers. In a: small apartment not far from the council cabin, atood a beautiful young girl. Cofiynghaâ€"un did {not return to his glass, but watched the face of his youthful comâ€" panion. “Of course she is!” exclaimed the lieu- tenant mm a flush. “I know she was . on boa-rd the Mischief when it fell into the Meteor's hands, and I am satisfied she is a prise ” The conversation was interrupted by an unexpected veering of the wind that paled the chucks of the numerous watchers on the deck, and the ofllccrs separated. Now. having learneé spmething of the Meteor‘s pursuex‘, let us return to the Eng- lish vessel. VOL. XIX; NO. 27. my ANSWE L.

I can tell the captain be- fol‘é an hour, ifâ€"” - Adeline paused nmoment, and heard the beating of the sailor’s heart. He stated in- to. her face like a. man suddenly frightened by a ghost, and she finished her sentence v'vith lips almost touching his ear. “ It yondo not obey me ! ” Then the helmsman‘s lips parted. “ For the love of heaven do not throw us [on devils at the feet of Gilderoy,” stam- mered the sailor. “ He would hang every one of us before morning.

Didn‘t I hear the helmsman any last night that the sailors would refuse to‘ fight for the man who zjules them with a. rod of iron, and when he had spoken thus, didn’t he remark to a. fellow tar that the prisoners ,did not know their strength? Yes, that he did. The men think of mutiny, and the man at the wheel is ready to rise against the captain of this ship. They want It lend- er ; they gnaw in silence the chain of tyran- ny, with which their captain has bound them. I will springthe mine! I will lead the Meteor’s mutineers, and the Revenge mayhem my prize.” The observer wouhl have laughed to think that she had decided to head a [‘0 1y of mu- tineersâ€"that sheâ€"a. fragile girl of nine- teen, had resolved to rob the English navy of one of its best vessels or to perish in the attempt. She left the room with a, reSolve well form ed, and steadfast in her determination. Like a spectre she glided down the darkened corridors of the vessel, and at last. climbing upward with’care, reached the deck. Captain Gildeloy and his lieutenants were below. discussing the situation over several bottles of wine. Adnline saw the stars over- head, and turned her head to the vaxious points of the compass without greeting a breeze that would have pleased the British captain. ' She stationed two of the strongest at the door of the council room, while so many more guarded the hatches. Then the prisoners were called forth, one by one, until sixty-two strong-limbed Yankee sailors stood unfleck, ready to do their duty.“ Thefi the helmsmavn saw the knife whose blade flashed veryuear his breast, and the next moment he stood on the deck. Captain Gildetoy, unsuspicious of the mutinous spirit on his ship, had placed watches who had belonged to the Chester party. Adafine soon discovered this, and at length seven determined sailors, armed with kniy’es and pistols, prepared for the fray. There was a tumult among the captain’s party when the mutiny was discovered, and the officers were apprised of the state of afiuirs by the discharge of several pistols in the hold. “ Mutiny !" cried Gilderoy, springing from the table ; and the next moment, hav- 1ng opened the door, he found himself flung to the floor by one of the mutinoers who guarded the portal. Another British officer was knocked down, when several prisoners made their appearâ€" ance, and the inmates of the cabin were se- cured. It was one of the most startling and successful mutinies in the annals of the Brit- ish navy ; but the most thrilling part was yet to come. “ Now three cheers for the English smil- ors 1 ” cried a stalwart mutineer who had ably Seconded the patriot girl. “ No more such cheers} 7’ suddenly cried Adeline Temple in a tone of command. “, The Meteor Is to bear the flag of the American Congress at her mizzen peak. The British mutineers will lay down their arms. Yankee sailors will prepare to shoot those who refuse to oleey." ' “1 will take his place,” Enid Adaline. “ Now let us strike ! ” A moments silence was followed by curses, and the nineteen mutineers looked into the faces of the men-Whom they had. armed with English pistols and cutlasses, Obe- dience alone would save their lives, and in a. few moments the British mutiueers were prisoners like their more faithful commies, and the good ship Meteor was in Yankee hands! ‘ Before dawn rockets revealed the Meteor’s position to her pursuer, and the astonished Gonyngham Goon stood on her bloodless decksfv Then the young American lieuten- ant encountered the heroine of the hourâ€" the girl on whose fingei’ he had already plac- ed a. shining ring. Adams Tefuple spoke with stem deter- mination and clenched her hands. ” We’ll do it ! ” he said. ” But thster is wounded~hurt yesterday by a. ball from 501111 sln'gt Cl_1est_e1f ways to haverlied usAsQ’ “ I knew that you were near in the 1Ee~ venge,” she said to him, “ and I thought I would present you with the Meteor.

A SUBMERGED CITY IN THE LAKE 0F GENEVA. A strange discovery is reported from the Lake of Geneva. A tourist having lost his trunk, two divers were employed to search for it. While they were below water they found what they supposed to he a village, since covered by the lake. Their statements led to an investigation of the spot by the municipal authorities, who took measures to ascertain the truth of the extraordinary ac- count of the divers. 0n covering the placid‘ surface with oil, these latter were able to distinguish the plan of the town, streets,‘ squares, and detached houses making the bed of the lake. The ruddy hue which char- acterized. them led the observers to suppose that the buildings had been covered with the famous vcrmilliou cement which was used by the Cults, Cimbri, end the early Gauls. There are about 200 houses arranged over an oblong surface, near the middle of'whieh is it space more open, supposed to have been used for public 83801110184383. At the cant- ern extremity lies it large square town‘, which was taken for a rock. A superficial investi- gation seems to indicate that the construc- tion of these buildings dates from some cen- turies belore our era. The Council of Valid has decided to have the site of the dwellings inclosod by a. Jetty stretching from the land, and to drain oil the water, so, as to bring to light what promises to he one of the most interesting archaeological discoveries of our day.â€" London Telegraph.

Hanna, N. 8., Nov. 23.â€"T.ie Fishery Commission reportei this afternoon. None but oflicial members of the Commission were permitted to be present. The award is fcr five and a half million dollars for the whole twelve years' use of the Canadian fisheries. In this award M. Delfosse and Sir A. T. Gait concurred, and it was therefore pro- lsented as the award of Commission. Hon. Mr. Kellogg, United States Commissioner, is reported to have dissented. Your correspon- dent is not in the secrets of the Commission, but is safe in saying that Senator Kellogg’s dissent, or protest, is not based on any denial of the value of the Canadian Fisheries, or of the justice of Canadian claims, but rather upon the failure of the other Commissioners to properly appreciate the value of the con- cessions made by the United States and the treaty; But as the Canadian counsel drreeted their attention to breaking down the value of these counter concessions by evidence from American sources, showing them to be of small value after all, it is quite unlikely that Congress will give serious weight to Mr. Kellogg‘s protest, and will generously, as well .as justly, pay the money. The headland question is not decided. It has sunk by the turn taken by the mass of evi- dence produced concerning the actual values of the catch and the markets. It, there. fore, remains substantially the same as before. Canada has still her claim to the territorial sovereigntv preserved intact, with tho‘iull consent of Great Britain, in spite of Earl Kimberley’s despatch and the former hesitancy oi the Britith Government. Whtn it is considered that the claim for compensa_ tion for the priveloges of purchasing bait, transhipping cargoes, and purchasing stores was ruled out of the Canadian case, the award is on the whole very satisfactory. The Washington Treaty thus gives us three main advantages~a free market for fish, the privilege of carrying goods in bond, and a. rental of five and a half millions for the twelve years’ use of the fisheries. while our territorial claim is still intact, to be revived at the end of the twelve years. The Ameri- can Commissioner and Counsel have been very cordial in their recognition of the liberality they have met with and of the ability with which our case has been conduci- ed. The evidence for the Canadian Case was as, iull and complete as it was possible to make it and was used with great discretion. Eire American recognize the courtesy of the Canadian press, which has maintained on the whole a dignified silence. admonish others to be wan-30f his example!

I risk you young mm who is jiut forming the habits of life, of thought out of which habits grow, to look around him and mam]; the examples Whose fortune he would covet, or whose fate he would abhor. Even as we walk the streets We meet with exhibitions of each extreme. Here behold a patriarch, whose stock of vigor three-seem years and ten seem hardly to have impaired. His erect form, his firm step, his elastic limbs, uni undimmed semes, are so many certificates of good conduct or, rather. so many jewels and orders of nobility with which nature hm hon- ored him for his fidelity to her laws. His fair complexion shows that his blood has never yielded his digestive apparatus for a. Vintner‘s cesspool; h‘is CX‘lcii language and keen uppiehensioa, th it his brain has never been dragng or stupifieil by the poisons of distiller orJobncoonist. Enjoying his appe- tite to the highest. he has preserved the power of enjoying them. Despite tho moral of tho school-boy’s story, he has eaten his cake and still kept it. As he drains the cup of life, there are no law at the bottom. His 0.3mm will reach the goal of existence t0< gather. Peiiulessly, its a candle burns down in its :o;ket, so will he expire.
