Kensations of a Drowning Man.
ete ce
I was swamming at some dis.
tance from the shore in the
tropics, and when I. turned 1n Fy
homeward direction I found that
the current was too strong for
me, and that, do what I could, I
was belug swept in an easterly
direction; and as the coast-line
trendea northward, this was
| equivalent to being taken out to
., fea The sense of being ~once
more in the clutch of an omnipo-
tent and inexorable force of the
sea overwhelmed me with dismay.
I remembered with horror all
~| the sensations that bad attended
#\
my earlier experience of drown-
ing, and to this apprehension was
added the knowledge that there
was some, though not & great,
~. danger from sharks. I looked
shorewards and seawards, and
gaw to my joy that a small coral
islet or rock. a few feet square,
lay im an easterly direction,
and that by hoshanding my
strength it might be practicable
to reach it. Alternately swim-
» ming and floating [ was over
come by a terrible fatigue, and
as my strength tailed I became
conscious of the fact that a great
disaster was at hand. Almost
abandoning hope, I was invol-
uatarily interested in contrasting
* the sencations experienced under
the shadow of the death that was
impending with the feelings un-
der similar circumstances fifteen
years before. It suddenly oc-
cured to me that if I shouted with
all my remaining strength the
sound might reach the shore, and
that a canoe mignt be manned
and pu: ont for my rescue, and
might reachT me in time.
Although I was nov aware of
the tact, my cries had been
heard. Salf swimming, half
drifting with the tide, I had man-
aged to swallow sufficient salt
~water to produce partial insensi-
bility ; but by some good fortune.
and almost unconsciously, it
seems that I managed to roach
the coral rock to which reference
has been made. Although I felt
no pain at the time, the sharp
edges of the coral growth severe-
ly cut my nands and body, aud I
was bleeeing freely when over-
taken ty a boat which, without
my knowledge had put out to
save me. I suddenly became
conscious of the presence Of my
Tescuers, and automatically
grasped with a clutch the knife
like edges of the coral fronds,
which grievously lacerated my
fingers. Whether it was the
smell of blood or mere accident
at the time when I was lifted
from the water into the canoe, a
Shark was almost touching me;
but the noise and splashing made
by the men in the boat success-
. fully frightened him away. I
heave no recollection of being
lifted into the canoe, but was in a
past life, or to de slore the sins
and failings which I share in
common-with the rest of human-
ity."CassellTs Magazine.

Picnic in a Colored Church.
There was 8 picnic in one of the
colored churches of the town,
says the Louisville Dispatch.
The proceeds were to be applied
onthe shortage of the pastor's
salary. It was arranged that
every woman who attended the
picnic should take 4 well filled
busket, covered with heavy paper,
a card inside bearing het name.
The baskets were to go to the
highest bidder, and the purchas-
er was to eat with the ogood
sister� that brought the basket.
Darkies, old and young, came
crowding into thechurch. Uncle
Mosby arose pnd as he waved
his hand for silence, said:
oDis hyar picnic 1s ter de benT fit
uv Je church, decokinT is garan-
teed, highest bidder gits de grub,
cash down, mine yoT.�
Au old negro at this point
arose and said that he would cut
a white cake with a ring inside,
15 cents sash dowa, aod the ring
guaranteed.
The first basket brought 20
cents, but Uncle Mosby gaye
them to understand that no more
would go at that price.
The bidding came better. It
was just here that a new feature
was introduced. Jim Drake, a
drunken steamboat rouser. came
in, displaying four or five dollars,
and began to bid. An old sister,
by the name of Jane Lanem,
yelled out, oHa carnTt eat wid
me.�
Several others mace this same
statement, but Jim held his
ground, and said, oMy money 18
des as good as anybody's money.�
oYoT money is satinTs money!�
yelled Aunt Jane,
Uncle Mosby wayed his hand
and said: oDis hyar picnic am
gwine ter be rua on principuls

crit.�
Uncle Mosby went for him and
squashed a basket over his head.
Chicken and opop� flew in every
direction, and four or five joined
in the fracas, ~Che women yelled,
and some one turned out the
lights. Jim, the rouster, escaped
in the darkness and took a basket
with him as he went, and when
an old negro struck a tatch
Uncle Mosby and Elder J 2nkins
were fighting over In a corner
each thinking the other was Jim.
When peace was restored it
was discovered that seven baskets
were missing, and that the cake
with the ogold ring� was also
gone.

Hardware. Over in the next
town 1 have an old friend who
keeps a general store. He carries
one garden rake in stock"of an
antiquated pattern, and a mouldy,
wartime price. A customer who
needed a rake objected to the
price.
oWell,� said the old man,
crossly, oyou can take it or leave
It, just as you please.�
oYou donTt seem very anxious
to sell goods ?� said the customer.
oJT donTt know as I am Ttarnal

answer: oIfIdo ['ll only have

We have a merchant in this
town who is just the opposite.
He will do anything to make @&
sale. Heis very learned (in his
mind) and great is his use of
Latin. He was talking to the
Widow Smeed about her boy.
oHow much Henry reminds me
of his poor, dear father,� said he:
oWhy, heTs the squireTs very face

This merchant had half a dozen
of the most prominent ladies of
our county seat in his store, and
was weighing them on the scales.
A short, stout German women
came in, and the mexchani said,
oNow, Mrs. Schmitt, letTs see
what you weigh.� |
The scales hung at 210-
oMy gracious, Mrs. Sch mitt,�
