The captain naturally wanted to hjtng on tfl t!je' last, for, the chance ''of another haul.' ' , . ' ''."'

I said; "I just left you writing in your cabin.'' , - 'I have cot been in my cabin (or the last half hoqr,". tpe . paptaip VnsVered; butviho'pgp, he was chaffing, and I didn't like it. .; : .: ;;.!. ,.;..-; U : There was some one writing atiyour desk, just cow,' I said; l4if it wasen'i you, ycu had better go5 and see who it was. .

" ; 4,Mr. Brown,". said the captain, who saw I was cetiIed, you must havei been mistaken ; my desk is locked. : But come we'll go down and see about it." ' 'l ' I followed the captain into jhe cabin. The leg was cn the table, the desk - was closed and the cabin was epipty.: The captain tried the" desk it was locked.

' . r Ha cpeped -.the : desk, and there stretched right across it was a sheet of paper, wiirV tjie words, wSteer N. W.." written in an odd,' cramped hand: . The'captajij looked at the, paper, and then handed it to me. j t ,7 - "Yon are rjght, - Mr. -'Brown ; some body has been here.

It is tfpe, i bad first taken the man for the captain, but now points of different, sug gested themselves. I had not looked very attenively at the figure, but still. - I was under the impression that the coat it had on was brown, and the hair,' which appeared under the cap, seemed, a? I re member, to have been longer and whiter than the captain'sr There was oly one nap n board who resembled in the least tpe JigjLir.e J. pad seen. I suggested to the captain iat ;I plight bafe beeri .old ShieJ, the boatswain. He did cot like to suspect the old "man, who was a great favorite ;' besides, what motive could he, or indeed any one else, have had in try ing to change the coarse of the vessel? Not to appear to suspect any one jp partipujsr, the 'paptain determined to have up all the crew.'. We had thera up. eneby ene.,- - We examined them, and made all those who could write, wrjte Steer N.

We were neither cf us inclined to be talkative. I tried to tink "cf bcrnei and thsj pleasure it would be to see old England aaip, but still my thoughts alvyay wandered back to that mysterious writing. ' I tried to; read, but I caught , .myself furtively puepbg at the desk, epectipg ta ssths figure tittiDgthsra.' ? r': f". ,: .. The captain had not spoken, for seme time,' ac4 was silting with his face buried in his hands. At list he suddenly lock, ed up, and said: . T "Suppos:cg we alter hef course to the north-west, Mr. Brown 1" i I den't know what it,s; I cicct hope to' make you understand the feeling in my pied that followed those words; it wa. a sense, cf relief from-a, rrrible nihimare., I was ashmed of the child ish pleasure I felt, but I could pot Jielp answering, eagerly:' "Certainly, shall I give ths order ' .. .. ; I waited nt longer, but hurried on deck, and altered tbe course of the vei seb , . . ; It jvas a clear, frosty night, and as I looked at. the compass before - going be low, I felt strangely pressed, and caught myslf chuckling, and rubbing my hands al what, I cannot say I didnV know then, but a great weight had been taken' off my mind. : ' '' I went down to the cabin, and: found the captain pacing up and down the small .ipace. He stopped as. I came ipr apd looking tpv saidiabrupily ; , j - I cAn do pp barrn. AJr.-Brown."

I was to restes to sleep after it, so,I kept on deck the whole of the day. Even that did not satisfy me. "I . "was continually running into the tops with my glas?, but every time I came down disappointed. The,: captain was as un quiet as myself. ' Something we expected to happen, but what.lt was' to be, we could form no ides. The second officer. , v ieve, though us both crazy; indeed. I often wonde'ied,: myself, at, the state I wa3 in. Evening came, and nothing had turned up. The night was bright, and the captain determined to carry on under easy sail till morning, " y , ' ; Morning came; and with the first grey light, I was on tfetk It was bitter cold. Those -only .who have seen ttess, can form an idea of the delicate tints of the morning sky in those northern seis. put I' was. in' no humor to appreciate Jhe beauties of nature. , , There was a raist ow down on the.horiz'n; I waited im patiently for it "to lift.' It ifie4 soonrand i could see the shimmer of "ice. J sent down to tell the'eaptain, whd came-on deck directly. --'-'i o ;- : - It is no use, Mr., Brown, " he said; "you must put her about." y , .. ,."Wait one -moment," I said; wait one moment;' the mbt jj litjn, more; i will be quite clear directly." The mist was indeed lifting repidly. Far to the north and west, we could see the ice, stretching away in one unbroken field, , i was trying to see whether there appeared any break in the ice towards the west, when the rapiain, seizing my arm ' wjih the one hand, and pointing straight ahea,d with the other, exclaim ed ; - ;t r: ' ' ' ":- '5Iy God ! thjere is a ship there." - The mist had risen like a curtain, and there, sure enough,' about three miles ahead, was a ship seemingly firraly pack ed In the ice; ' We stood looking at it in silence. There was some meaning, after all, in the mysteroas warning, was the first thought that soggesld itself to me. "She's nipped bard, "sir,' said, old Shiel,- who, wi.ih: the rest of the crew, wasanxoyslf watching our new discovery. I was trying to make her cut with the "glass, when. the flash of a gun, quickly followed ly the report,' "proved thai she had seen ua. r Up went the 6ag, - Union downwards. We. needed no signal to kpow her distress: Tbe captain order ed the s.ecp'n.d ofpeer off into the boat. I watcped him, ps ip : made ais way over the ice with a few of the men towards the ship. They : soon returned, "with eight cf the ship's crew.'' It was a dis mal account they gave of their situation. Tbey might have sawed their way cujof the; ice, but the ship was so injured that she could not have fkated no hour. The largest cf their boa's were stove jp; the others were hardly sea worthy; 1 They were preparing, however, to take thera as a last resourpe, when our welcome ar riral put an end to their fears. Another detachmept was soon brppght cff. and the captain, with thj remainder of his crew, was tp; follow iamediatsly. . . . I .went down to ray cabin, and tried to think' ever the singular fate which hid made us the preservers .of this ship's crew.. I could net divest"' myself of the idea that some supernatural agency was connected with, that psrt ia the'desk, and I trembled at the thought cf what might have teen the consequence. if we had negbcted the 'warning. . The bcit ccraicg alongside, interrupted my reverie.-"Ip a fey seconds I was on deck. ; . I found the captain lalking to a fine pld sailor Ijke looking nidD, whom he trnred ' to . me ' es ."Csbtain Scuires.

' At jhe captain's re tiuesvbe wrote Steer IT. Y.;" we compared it with ; the 'original writing. There could be no doubt cf it. : It was in tha same odd, cramped, hand. : Cea any one solve the mystery ! . .'The following "rules' cf the r are based upon legal decisions, and ojght to be universally known. The courts have deci ded that 'applicants" for tickets cn railroads can be ejected from cars if thsy donot offer the exact amount of thir fare. Conductors are not bound to" make change. Alb railroad tickets are good cntjl used j conditions, "good for tba day only," cr other admitting time cf genuineness, are cf no accouoti." Pasrebgers who lose their tickets can be ejected from the cars un-j If ?3 they ""purchase" avSeJond'oae. Pas-; sengers are - bound to observe --decorum in "the -cars, and are ctliged to comply with all reasonable -xiemands to show their tickets. Standing cn the platform, or otherwise violating the -rules ef 'the company, renders a person liable to be put off the train. ; No" person has aright to monopolize - more seats than be his paid for; and article left in the seat while the owner is temporally- absent, entitles him to his seat on bis return. ' The Mobile Times intimates that the ''South' will resist with force and change ia its, political status." The Charleston Mercury calls upon the. President to re fuse to indorse laws that he believes' to be unconstitutional, and ' vaguely hints that aid could be obtained, fa the fiery States. The Enquirer asserts that the "President is bound by his cath to main tain the Slate .governrnments in their just rights, and any attempts to abolish thera by Cpngresv, as proposed by the cause', would pepessitare'a" 'collision." The Petersburg Virgina, Expess aha dclarr es that 4if Congress should show no dis position to relax its grasp after absolute dominion, and declare itself in perpetual session,' the President would have no al ternative left' him but to disperse ths two Houses at the point of tho bayonet." It is evident that these irate fellows cf the Soath yet heed tobe' puf through a" se yere "cbur? e" of reconstruction. They ate working for it industriously, and will get it to their heart's content in good time, We' often hear of remarkable cases of "absence of minJ.'' Here is one eual to any we haye seen lately. " The - man! was doubtless a very ipl.eresting head-cif the family: " ' ' ' - ' " ' "1 say, cap'n," said a liite k2eneyed man, as he landed frcra the steamer Po t.oma.c at lfatchej.: "I say cap'n this h ere ain't all."'
