That's my iiMinp, for father raid tlieie
wasn't a l etter Lare on the river tlian
the 1'nuh'iice, :unl if 1 was called by
tli Fnnie n:un, lie was sure there would
1. ever he a better pari.
l'uor f'.lherl lie was always very
fond of me, ai:d my remembrances are
of pitlinjr on the tiller and having ;
ride, when lie stood there of an even
lug stj'i in? the- barffe. With tli great
cin ainott-i-'d sail f.be I out by the
wind, :nid t!;e w.tter loaming and bub-
blii'g by us as we ran on up the river
toward ih. h'.z city, wl:ere the plrps
lay 1 se together in cock and against
tii wliarvfs, otnrdying tlieir loads o
waiting for ethers before going awa
a r .-s lh" He- s.
1 u-ed t think our barge a very lar; e
ship, till I grew olJ enough to comj re
it with tliosw that pass? 1 us goiiig up or
down the river, and then it used V
seem to me that it would he wotiderfu -

Medwiiy, in we us d l g year af it 1
ye. r. It.i'l.d down in th water wit
I'oUery r liop-, or tvon bricks.
I can't tell yu ho-.v my i hi d life-
slipped away, living with moiher and
father on board of that barge, in a little
Lit of a cabin with a tiny stove; ah that
I ktiow is t!.a' 1 was very happy uic!
tlif.t I never hardly we it ash re, anil
7. hen 1 did I was lirightenel a.m
wanted to pet l ark; at, I ;it lapt 1 seem
ed to have grown all tit once i::to
gical girl, and father and 1 were alone.
Yes, nuit: alone, for mother bad leit
us Very suddenly, and v,e had b'er.
ashore at S'leeiness, Fatlier and I, and
came l ack from she lit'.cral and were
silting on the cairn hatch, before 1
could believe i was anything but a ter
lib'e die; in a id il at 1 should not
waki? an 1 li; il tliat slie v.j.s aliveonce
more, :is l.'lilhe a';d checrv sis ever,
rer.dy to like ihe tiler i :t pull at a
ro; e, t lie f, irn as 1 did when father
wanted a iy lit In.
Father was aehatiged man alter that,
and as a couple ot years slipped by the
work on the b re. fell more and more
iotj my baud, and I used to smile to
in se'l as 1 snvbow big and led and
s.10 g they had grown. For f.tthe " had
grown ijui t and dull day by day, and
us-'d to have a stone bottle Idled when
ever he went ashore, and then sat with
it in tlu.' cabin all alone tdl 1 called
him to come and help with the sail.
Oar barge was well known all about
the mouth of the river and far up be
vor.nd th-i bridge; suid suneliow, I
d 11't J .now li.'W it was, the men 0:1 the
different bo.fts w i)assed had always a
kind bail o:- a wave 01 t tie band for us,
as we p.1 lied by, if we were too lar oil
for t!.e ft V ndly bhout to reacu us.
I don't thuik 1 O'u fattier meant it
aakiiuiiy. b.it be seemed to grow more
and m -ie help!, s; now every da-; tti d
this frightened me, and made me wo. k
0 keep toe bar 1,0 clean and ship-s.i t-c
est the owners should come on board
.tod Bie things slovenly, and fi.id fault
with father and dismiss him, and thai
1 knew would break his he rt. So 1
worked on, and in a ctnii heavy way
father used to t.iank me; and the time
glide ! on, till one day, as we were ly
iug off S Mi'hend, with the sea g!a sy
and not wind enough to fill ihe s..i s, J
felt my ch-eKa beun to b-'r.i ;.s 1
l aned back agamst the tiller ai.d
pould not turn my head, because I
coui:! hear a boat being sculled aloi g
toward us. jitul I knew that it was 01:
Ing from the great leeboard bare ly
ing astern.
"Jle'H coming to see us father," I
said to myself at last in a choking
voice; and a3 a hail etirne I w as obii ed
to turn, and there stood up in the little
boat he was sculling w ith stud oar over
the stem, John Grove, in his dark
siouser3, blue .Ttrsey and scarlet cap;
and sisl.eaw his sunburnt face and
brown arms and hands 1 felt my heart
beating fast, and knew that he was not
coming to see ice.
We had hardly ever spoken, but I
had known John Grove for years now,
and we Lad nodded and waved hands
to one another often and often s we
had passed up and down the rtver.
"Heave us a rope, lass," he said, as
he came close in; and 1 ui J it dreamily.
A3 soon as 1 did feo I began to pud it
back, but it was Isolate, he had hitch
ed it round the thwart uf his boat, and
was up and over the side be! ore I
could stir; and then i.e stojd lookiog
down, while I felt sometimes hot and
sometimes cold, and as if I ould not
apeak.
"Do you want to Eee father?" I said
at last.
"No my lass." La tail quietly, "I
want to see you."
"Mel" I faltered, with my face ouru
ing.
"Yes you, my lass," he said; and hi?
handsome brown face lit up, and he
looked up so manly as he laid his hand
sn my arm.
"Frudeuce, my g il,': he said, "were
bith young yet, for I nm not six-uud-twen,ty.
but I thought it was time 1
spoko to you."
"Speak to me?" I sa'd with my face
bu.ning stid.
Y'es," my las3, speak to you, for
we've been courting now a matter of
lour years."
"Oh, John," I cried, bursting out
laughing and feeling more at my ease,
"why, we've never hardiy spoken to
one anottier."
"That's nice,7' ho said, drawing a
long breath, "Over again."
"Over again? What?" I said.
"Call me John," he replied.
"Well then John." I cried hastily.
"Th'at's right, Frudeuce; but, as 1
was going to say, not spoken to one
no'her! Well how could we always
iiking out turns at tlie tiller :m w
were! JJut all the saue, my lass, Fvi
been always courting of you, night and
day, the.se four years and looking on!
and longing lor the time when Che
Prudence would come iu sight and I
coal I give you a hail and get a wave of
the hand back."
I could feel the poI-t coming nto my
cheeks ssgain as I heard him speik,
tiid knew how anxiously 1 had looked
out lor his bare coming up or down
the river; and then I began wondering
what, it all m ant..and soon knew.
"Prudence, my lasV" he said, "1 have
saved up 10, all my own, and our own
er has jusfgiveu me the-coinm ind of a
new barge, with sis pretty a cabin as
you'd wish to see; ar.d so, lass, I

head. "I belong to father, and I could
not leave him never.'"'
"JJut you'll liave to some day, Pru

duwnhearied and miserable.
".No," I sdd, "1 saall never leavo

"Prudence," he said, sharply, "yo;i

"Playing with you?"
"Yes; I mean you ain't going to ti ke

I knew it, and I sat there in the calm
afternoon and evening, sometimes
crying, sometimes feeling hopeful, and
w ith a sense of joy at my heart s.;ch as
I had never felt before.
And so that evening deepened into
night, and the barge a quarter ot
mile astern of u -, and no wind coming,
only the tide lo help ut on ur way.
It must have been about 10 o'clock tit
nio'ht, when I was forward sowing to
the bght hoisted up to keep anything
tiom running into us.
Then I heard father come stumblm?
up fr nn the cabin, and make as if to
come f 01 ward to me.
' Frue," be cried, 1 rut I"
"Yes father, coining," I said, and
then I uttered a wild shriek, and rusheu
towards where the boat hung as'.ern by
her painter, hauled her up and climbi d
in; for n 1 sooner had I answered than
I heard a cry and a heavy splash, and I
knew fa; her had gone overboard.
I was into the boat in a moment and
had the skull over the stern, paddling
away iu the direction, that the cry had
come from, but though I fancied in
thosj horriblii minutes that I saw a
h it d stretched out of the water, asking
as it w. re for help, 1 paddl -d a id sci.l-
re.l :d ut till I was far from our baive.
and then sank down woru out, to uttei
a moan of horror, and sob. 'Oh father!
faiher! what shall I do."
"Is that you, Prudence?" said a
voice.
' Yt s John, yes John, yes," I cried,
ooking out through the darkness, out
of w hich a boat seam d lo steal till it
was alongside, when John stretched
out his hand and took mine.
"Quickl" I itsped, "s.ive hLm, John
faiher gone overboard.
"When you shrieked out, Pru?"
"Yes, yes," I waiitd, "0:1, save him
save him."
'.My poor lass," he said, "that's a
good quarter o an hour ago, and the
tide's running strong; I've been pad

you, fo; I went up to the barge and
ou were gone."
"But my father," I wailed, "father
save bin."
"My poor little lass," he said teuder
l , "I'd jump into the water now if you
oid me, but what can 1 d.?"
i did not answer, for 1 kn,w :h A he
must have been swo, t far away b fore
then; and I was bedi ming to feel that
vas alone quite j.lone i 1 the wi rid.
It was six niobths after that dr-. d

where I was s'aying with his mo her,
and had been ever sim e he had broii-lit

I oked wisltul y nt me and said l a;

I walked down to his boat with him,
and on the way he told me that he had

"2s o, John, no," 1 said softly as the

Unintentional Suicides.
Drowning and hanging, says Dr. IL
y. Tracy, in Popular iiieiue Monthly,
arepiin'css modes of dying, because
the asphyxri which causes death is
compl c.tU-d by other circuriistunct s
which render the itying man bo soi n
unconscious that the pangs of suffoca
tion are tin felt. And the insensibility
ahich results from hanging is so indub
ious and painless in its approach, that
experiments on the subject aid very
Jaime ons for any one t make alone.
It ia probable that many per.-on3, wl o
are supposed to have commit'ed sui
cide in this way, h d n ally no inten
;on of bringing about their own d 'i.t'i.
ome have been led, like the two gen
lemen mention d by Morgagni, to try
the experiment out'-f curiosity. Others
may have done it out of p-fju?. It
not impossible, nor perhaps improba
bly that bigh-spiriled hoys or girls, af
ter a degrading punLshment, shculd
rash off. : s we lead of the r doing, and
hang themselves. Tne child put a

The finest specimen of Brussels lace
Is so complicated as to require the la
oor of seven persons on one piece, and
each operative is employed at distinct
features of the work. The thread used
is of exquisite fineness, which is spun
in dark underground voom3, where it is
sufficiently moist to keep the thread
from separating. It is so delicate as
jcarcely to be 8ten, and the room is so
arranged that all the light admitted
shall fall 1? r on the work. It is such
material tliat renders the genuine Brus
sels ground so c stly. On. a piece of
Valenciennes not two inches wide,
from two to three hundred bobbins are
sometimes used; and for a larger width
as many as eight hundr id on thosame
pillow.

Turpewtine Froductieii.
The pine forests of Georgia, says the
Atlanta Constitution, nust be relied on
to produce the bulk of the turpentine
crop for the next twenty years. Before
lSJOthe most of the turpentine in use
wasproduced from the south of France,
and from some of the Northern .States.
The E-uppIy having fallen short of the
demand, tlie forests of North and South
Carolina were then drawn on, and are
now aIout exhansted. The attention
of turpentine men has, therefore, been
turned toward the va t fc rests of south
west Georgia as the point from which
to draw the supply of ths future. The
production of turpentine fnm that sec
tion has, we learn, doubled several
times in the past few years, and is get
ting to be a very important industry.
Good turpentine lambs are being vSoid
there at fifty cents to ?2 an acre, or
rented at $-5 per 1,000 trees. At -these
rates it is hard to find a more lucrative
business. The consequence is that tlie
turpentine business is rapidly becoming
enormous, and is destined to grow to
still greater proportions. Many Caroli
na turpentine men are deserting their
old bojics and coming lo Georgia,
where they can get plenty of unboxed
trees at a mere nominal cost. The
quality of the rosin they get from the
new trees is much better than that
which comes from the old, and the
Georgia trees yield a much larger quantity.
