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 reach’ 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.—Cassell’s Magazine.

Dn or —— nea 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 “good 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: “Dis hyar picnic 1s ter de ben’ fit uv Je church, decokin’ is garan- teed, highest bidder gits de grub, cash down, mine yo’.” 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, “Ha carn’t eat wid me.” Several others mace this same statement, but Jim held his ground, and said, “My money 18 des as good as anybody's money.” “Yo’ money is satin’s money!” yelled Aunt Jane, Uncle Mosby wayed his hand and said: “Dis hyar picnic am gwine ter be rua on principuls uv respec’, au’ bein’ yer ain’t 10 no respectubul condishun, Jim, yo’ can’t buy no grub.’ “T’se jos’ erbout as ’specterbul ez yo’ wuz when yo’ stole dat sack er merl, vo’ ol’ lyin’ hipper- crit.” Uncle Mosby went for him and squashed a basket over his head. Chicken and “pop” 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 “gold ring” was also gone. mane aed A Housenold Necessity.

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. “Well,” said the old man, crossly, “you can take it or leave It, just as you please.” “You don’t seem very anxious to sell goods ?” said the customer. “JT don’t know as I am ’tarnal anxious to sell that rake,” was the| answer: “IfIdo ['ll only have to order another one.” 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. “How much Henry reminds me of his poor, dear father,” said he: “Why, he’s the squire’s very face swile.” 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, “Now, Mrs. Schmitt, let’s see what you weigh.” | The scales hung at 210- “My gracious, Mrs. Sch mitt,” said the merchant, “who would have thought you would weigh that much!” “Vell,” said the answer, “you see, | was fat vheve you don’t gee.” (iS = ee Burke county has imported about 7,000 bushels of corn this season from Lonisville, Ky., and the Furmer’s Friend, of Morgan- ton, says the “fact ought to make us all thoroughly ashamed of ourselves.
