We were riding out a cyclone in the mid- dle Indian ocean, and the bell had â- tmok fear, telling that the fint watch was half geoe^ when tiiia word waa attered close to »y eur. The voice waa that of my ehnm, Jac'-- Walah, ae good a sailor aa ever trod a deck. Standing by my dde daring the two preced- fcig bonn, he had watched with me while the Northern Light, the ship of whose crew we formed a part, drove wildly on throngh the mad tumult of the wafara. "Hiat I that waa a gun." A eold ahndder swept over me, and for a moment my heart stood still, for U the sullen boom we had heard waa, aa Jack said, the report of a gun, it meant but one thing, wlJeh was, that na» as aomewhere amid that twrmeil of wibd and wave men like ourselves were battling against a death that stared tkem in the noe. ,„ *3" And we were not the only ones who had heard and reisognised the message, for as we stood straining our eyes to see if we could ditcover the vessel that waa tignalirg the mate on watoh joined na. " Did you hear a gun ' he aaked. "Tes," anawered Jack. "And could you tell the direction of the Bonnd " "Ko but It muat have been somewhere to the windward." "Let us watoh for the next discharge, for if anything can be done to save life the Northern Ught will not prove a laegard in the work." Again our eyea turned to the rough ocean lying about us and we watebed the dark ez- puise with an in t jntceaa that was painful. "Ihere " It waa Jack again, ai;d as he spoke a sud- den light flaabed and fMed along the waves, and the dull boom sounded out again, near- er to na, and dearer than bciore. |uick 1 answer with our starboard gun, and let the poor devila know that frier ds ate near. I will go aft and tell the captain. Jack and I atmggled over to the gun, which waa loaded, and removing the tar- paalia that covered it, threw back the lock and pulled the lanyard The sharp report thi^ followed brought the watoh below op from their snug quarters in the fo'castle. and tiie next moment we heard the captain's voioe shouting out the orders that quickly brought the ships head close to the wind, and h^ld it there for the Northern Light worked like a yacht. The wind allows no leisure to those who battle with it, and knowing this we worked on, giving no heed to the vessel we sought to help. Enough for as was the knowledge that our officers were determined to clear the way for areaoue, if this were poaaible. When the ship was laid to we turned our ^es to the windward, and just at the mor sent that a broai glare of light (hone outil laminating a large vetsel tosMd on the crest of a large and angry wave. We could see tiiat she was not of Cana- dian boild, and that her fore and mizzm masto were gone, and that aha was laboring heavfly. We knew, too, thoagh we could not see this, that the seas had made sad havoc with tiie hull, and thoagh we could not distingaish the faces of those moving about in lue circle of light we felt that they were filled with anxioas forebodings. "Bum a red light," cried the captain, "and men lay aft to mainmaat." We did so, and even before we were all gathered at the place named, theseccmd mate had the red light blazing on the •juarter. "My men," said Gapt. Skeiwet, as he join- ed na at the main fife-rail, "yon have all seen the ship yonder, and know that her people are in danger. It is a bad night, and a worse sea, what shall we do " "Save them if we can, and make the effort at any rate," said Jack Walih, and several of the men responded. "Yes, that is the way, " "I knew you woald and the reputation our and now I want twelve life-boat." We all volunteered. "Thank yon, my men, but some of us must stay behind to keep ship, and be ready to help tiiose who go in the boat. I shall go wlui them, and if yon agree will choose the crew." We all oried out for him to do thia, and he laid: "You, Walah, will act as oox- iwain," and then he took half of the crew frotfieaoh watoh, and when all waa chosen, told us to man the boat. The Northern Light carried a new and tiiorongh life-boat, with a patent apparatus for lowering, bat even with thia the danger tA tempting the aea and wind on anch a ni?ht wmild have been apparent to the veriest landaman. Still whHe we looked with anxious eyes to the dark and reatieaa turmoil altont us, we grasped our oars firmly, and waited for ttie word that woold plaoe oar Uvea almost withia the jaws of death. We heard the captain give directions con- Mintiiiy a whip to be placed on the cross- jai yard, and a line uat waa tobe boomed oak from forward, and then he climbed into tke boat, and the first and aeci.nd mates took the falls and at his oommand, lowered away promptbf Fortunately the boat had â- wnng on the lee ride, and we got away safe- ly, bat now oame the stmggia, for tiie wind and sea were both agi^nst as and oftSB we. â- eemed powarleaa to stem thafar â- fcrangUi. The osptain helped, and Walah kept a â- teady hand tm the iteeriBg oar, and w« knew that, tiiongh making bat little head- way, wo were aaaring the atrangar, tot the wfaid waa driftbw her dofWB toward oa. "Here she i^-cried tite ttipttbx, "and a â- aQor oamnanda hm, for aea, he has brought Imt to, and f «»med a lee for na to work in. A bright blase fliahadont, and bomed â- teadilT, aadaa Ha nkKaaoe raaom and diowed na, a oheer oama from tiie sUp and avoioehailed, "Wliatahalll do TU aaked.

Clear anawers told him that aU waa as he wished, and then he shouted to the captain of the wreck "Now throw me a line from your bulwark and let your people slide down it. How many have yon ' "There are Imt eight left, and two are wo- men." "Send them on." "Aye, aye I will, look out." A rope fell across my arm as the word came, and I grasped it. "Now hold it firm," cried the captain, "and I will look out for the people." This was to tbe after oarsmen, of whom I was one, and we grasped the line with a firm hold. "Here comes one," said the captain, "by Jove, that skipper is a trump." Tbe words were barely attered before a woman's fffm came swiftiy down the line, sitting in a bight attached to a block that had a whip ready to haul it back, and it waa this ar.arg mant that had elicited our captain's approval. "Cut the sling," shouted the commander of the wre k, "1 have others ready " It took but a short time, following this direction, to get all of the stranger's people into the boat, and when the captain, who came last, slid down the rope and was haul- ed in by our skipper, the later said "Now stand hy to put off, get out your oars strokes. The bows will keep theirs in, and be ready to take our line stand by to let go from tbe wreck. Now, give way with the star- board oars Give way together Let go " And swinging around, the boat swept out from the protection she had found in tiie lee of the drifting ship, and began her strife with the sea coca more. And now came the hardest part of our toil, for with her heavier load the stout craft waa less buoyant, thoagh she rode the sea well and seemed to know that more human trost relied on her strength than had put faith in such a craft before. Capt Skewet had taken his podtion by ride of Walsh, and kept his eye on the light that shone a lurid guideon the bow of North- era light. {Suddenly a heavy tqnall stmck us, end the wind swirled and shrieked about us un- til it seemed that it would wrench the oars from our hands. "Bend to it, boys," cried the captain, and then, as we put all of the strength we possessed in our effoi t we heard him say to Walsh "My God I I have lost the light.' A shudder, cold as the keen wind that brings the first snow, chilled us. What if we should be swept past the ship, and car- ried on inti the seething hell beyond. There was but one end to such a fate, and tiiat was death. The darkness had grown in decuty, but the great force of the wind helped us, beat- ing down the sea. We knew that this would last but a short time, and that a madder frenzy of the water would follow, and oh, how we longed for a gleam that would help UB. The tenuon of mind that waa ours in those few momenta is seldom equaled. Where was the Northern Light Had we passed her There was no reply to those questions, unless it was the high shrieking of the squall. Then, in one of these rapid transitions that seem the result of divine love and care, the sky changed, and, as if tom by the wind, a huge rift parted the clouds, letting the c.ear radiance of the full moon shine tiirough. It showed us two things that will never be forgo ttonâ€" one the Northern Light, lying just aiiead the other the wreck, whiah, as the moonlight came, suddenly settled by the head, lurched, and disappeared from sight forever. The squall was sweeping by, but it had served us well, for before the wave rose again we had run to leeward of the ship, the man watehing having seen us, and our hu- man freight was quickly transferred to the deck. The comparative smoothnecs tiiat had been brought about by the fierce rush of the wind, enabled us to secure the boat with less trouUethan we had expected, and just aa the day broke, finished the work, and as the cyclone had swept by us, we were able to set smI and keep away on oar course. The people we had rescued were the cap- tain, mate, three seamen, and three passen- gers of the French ship St. Laureot, bound from Havre to Bitavia. The remrinder of her OTCv had been lost when the foreyard went by the board, or were carried away by a sea that followed this accident. In falliog. the yard had hit the hull, and tiiia accident caused the leak that sunk the ship. I liave been in several trying scenes since then, but never in one that so thrilled me with the nearness and the power of death. An Apt Qaotation. A valued lady oortaspondent in Hiimil- ton relates the following incident, which ac- tually occurr^ :-â€" " A little Oakville boy, whose father was away from home, thought he would please him by writing him a letter. He got all the materiala ready, and then paused, totaily at a loss for something to say. All at once a bright thought struck him. He would as- tonish his tather by writiiw sooiething out of his new pimer and let Um see how well he was getttas on. So opening the book at random he laborioosty oopied out the fol- lowing: 'Is it an ass? It isaaasa.' Yoor son, ROBBIS." "Ye^ my boy, you are correct.

Parties who have tried this meth- od, say the oontenta of the barrels are pre- served antn Spring in a better condition than by any other means they have ever tried. Ceixaks in Tffii Fall.â€" Professor Bu-ld, makes the seasonable suggestion that cel- lars in which fruit to stored between picking time and the setting in of Winter, should not be opened during the day, but the win- dows opened doricg the night, when the air to cooler. The warmer air of ttie day-time has ita mototore precip tated by the cold objects in the cellar, and dampness u en- gendered. A WiKTEB PouLTBT-Hoosi.â€" In building your poultry house for neit Winter, you of course want to make it warm but don't forget that fowU need a good supply of fresh, pure air, or duease will attack them. If yea are m^fcing yoor w^to doable, do not fill in with sawdust or tanbark. Leave an air chamber bet wet n, making the ontaide wall close by strips, and the inside onee by felt or paper. Let your ventilator be near the top of the house. ' A Hint as to Hogs. â€" An expertenoed feeder of swine advises that when hogs are taken from grass, or other bulky diet, to be fattened, the change to a more concentrated food should be gradual, aa too sudden a chanj'e to often attended with sertoas resulta. The animal should at first have light food. Bran and other mill stafi, made Into slop and given vith grain, to good, and if the refuse from tbe orchard or potato fie'd is given, that, too, will be beneficial, especial- ly if cooked and mixed with the bran. eto. Cabe of Live Stock. â€" The farmer should bear in mind that the comfort of his animals to always of first importance and in the Ibie of direct success, observes a writer on stock huslMmdry. Feed, water and shelter are of equal importancs in providing for the oom- fort of any kind^of stock in the Northern States, There the Winters are severe, the water to frozen up, the feed to often buried beneath the snow, and in no way can the stock thrive wi hout shelter and having feed stored and fed to them in the dry state. Loo£ TO Your Flocks. â€"Sheep need ex- tra care now, in order that they may reash the cold season in full vigor, especiaHy where wool is the object. If kept in a poor pas- ture till late, and brought; to the bam in thin flash, it will cost much more to get them into condition than it would to have kept them so. Cotton seed or linseed meal, mixed with an equal weight of bran, giving about a quarter of a pound a day to each sheep, in additiu to hay or straw, is one of the bast foods to grow wool. Barley, rye and oate are also good, but coin alone to too starchy. WiNTEBiNG Turkeys.â€" Turkeys that sur- vive Thanksgiving and Christmas will not require as warm qnartera through the Win- ter as other fowto. However cold, the wea- ther, they should be allowed to run out of doors every day, except, perhaps, in very stormy weather. If coidined in warm quar- ters, and not allowed to run out of doors, they usuaUy show rigns of indtoporition, lose their appetite, liecome dumpbh and in- active, and not nnfreqaentiy die. They ar« very hardy birds and easily wintered. About all they require to a plaoe to roost at night, where they will be out of the wind, with Slenty to Oct and drink, and their liberty nring the day. Drying Seed CoBN.â€"The old plan of hanging the seed-cora to the joisto of the kitehea by the husks, which had been strip- ped back and plaited together for the pur- pose, always seemed to make " seed that would grow," because it was thoroughly dried, says a contemporary. Not many farmers' wives will allow their kitchens to be cluttered up thto way nowdays and so we suggest that the com be hang in the smoke-house and regularly smoked, like hams. Thto will secure ita t horoughly dry- ing, which to the essential point, and the smoke will tend to keep birds and inaeoto at a respectful distanoe when planted. But. whatever plan you may adopt, be sure that the seed to thoroughly dried before it to reached by cold weatiier.
