Well, ifc'was a narrow slip for me; so near, in fact, that I had given ap all hope of saving my life. But the evening is young, we will brew a stiff nor’wester of punch, and if y< like, I ’ll give you the yarn.” - Old Captain Jackson was a retired shipmaster who bad seen much of the w o r ld i c h is tlnae an d profited b y th e lage of which he was a resideiri:. I nsed to drop iQto his house of an eyening for an h o u r o r so, a n d th e old gentlem a n always accorded me a warm welcome. His wife had died, leaving him al most friendless, as he had 110 children, and the old gentlemau lived a quiet, subdued life, with no one in his house but a faithful housekeeper and an an tiquated old steward who was fully posted as regarded his master’s wants and peculiarities, he having served him long and well. “ I was quite ^ young man ship m ate, (he alw a y s called m e by th a t title), when I found myself on board the old brig garah, as chief mate.— We were bound-to the Spanish Main on a trading trip—a dangerous localh ty in the days I am speaking of. “ The old craft was tolerably well ried a long iron nioe- wifch sfcer nodded assent, and half an hour afterward I was clambering up her steep sides,' closely followed by my boat’s « T1 “ The deck was deserted. Not a gleam of light was yisible from the cabin skylight, and no voice xeplied to my repeated halloa. “ In fact, shipmate, to make short work of it, the hark, upon examina tion, proved to be deserted. It)ot a soul was aboard, or a trace of a paper or flag to prove her nationality. “ The cargo consisted of brandy, liquors, and an assortment of French gew-gaws. I sounded the well, but could discover no evidence that she was making water, and why the offi cers and crew should have abandoned so fine a vessel, has been a matter of specnlatloE to m e to .this d a y ; “ Whet\ '• \ ster, he sun had set, and several large fires had been kindled along the very sight of which blood run cold—• as I thought c if cannibalism the beach, made my ---- ------ over the horrible tales of cannibalism I had beard regarding them. “ My bonds had been cut while I was unconscious, but my head ached so that I made no efibrt to rise from the spot where I had fallen. armed, and carried j T j O Y b u thfei js. a G o lden O p p o rtunity.

The cop per shot forth a scmtillating light as her fore foot rose and fell amid the phosphorescent swell of the ocean; but there was a certain somethiug about the bark which arrested my attefti|op. The yafds wpre negligently trimmed, ropes and running-gear were trailing over the side, which facts did not im press me very highly with the officers’ seamanship. “ The bark yawed fearfully, so much^ so that Captain Webster had to cau tion the n?8Q at the wheel te be cqre- ful. “ He had evidently made up bis mind to speak to the-stranger, and I took up my petition on tbe poop, anxious to hear all that wag said. “ But no reply came back in return to the stentorian'summons offOaptain Webster, who roared through his truinpet. “ Slowly and majestically the bark glided by ns, her decks, sails and hall fully revealed in the glancing rays of the moon. Hot a sound disturbed the solemn silence, save the dull thud of a collapsing sail alofr or the creak of our spanker gaff as it swung to wind ward. “ Hot a soul was visible fore 0* aft ou the stranger, and a thrill of Sttper- stidoas dreM ran throngh iny t^ins, as I, ia common with all bandB, gazed at the strange sight. As for Webster’i face, it was white a« a ghost’s!. “ Suddenly a thought struck ipe.—^ It was some. Vessel*^deseeied deserted by her I who never deigned to glance OYfr shouldff, “ We were within half a dozen yards of the huts, when my guide gave a shrill, peculiar cry. In an instant I was surroondea by at least one hun dred Indians, who knocked me down before 1 could attempt raising my weapons. “ ^tri|)fie4 m eiothlng, bound band apd foot, &Qd secured to a tree, I was left for a short time to my own reflections, which were, I can tell you, shipmate, anything bat pleasant, “ My boat’s crew were captured to a man- They were so surprised and confounded by the sudden rush lufijf upon me that they ^'^^“'ffur^iaptors were the bona fide Indians of the Bio de la Hache, and a wilder or more hideous set of men* and squaws you could not conjure up, even if haunted by a nightmare. ‘ While the Indians were busy se curing the men, I turned my eyes anxiously toward the olfl brig, when I heard the rattle of the c|iain pabie as she got under way. wouldn’t 1-have given to have been standing on her deck? gj, But regrets were alike useless an^ qp- -ivaUIng. “ I fully exppeted paptain Webster would load the long nine, cram it full of grape and cannister, and let drive at the half-naked tawny rascals on tbebeach who werenow running wildly to and fro brandishing their weapons | but Judge of my rfige fipd dlsappoint- u e n t when X beheld th e cow ardly icoundrel cast the brig’s head off shore with all sail set. He did not offer to strike a blow in our defence, but| like the cowardly dog that he was, left us to a fate that was too horrible to con template. “ Jumping into our long boat, tbe Indians pulled after her, but the brig had good headway,, her canvas was drawing, and she soon left her pur suers far astern. “ This event seemed to irritate one oj my guards, who bad been particu larly active in strapping rue to a g|rt- llne. H e had taken possession o f my pistols, one of which he cocked, pre- aeinting it full at my head. “ Shipmate, I thought the number of my mess was lost sure. I closed my eyes,, breathed a tew words for mercy, but a sharp click told me the weapon bad missed fire. With a sav age yell, he threw the weapon §t me; thp fiefivy^ hdfctatrdek my head, ahd I som l Vesaei by he|f I sahk to the earth iosensible, {gant ai I offered to b f f t ^ h e r i Wel^ “ When conscioafnesa returned, the ments. sel of water, much that I was soon able to stand on my feet. “ At that moment the Indian who had acted as a decoy approached me with a, m alicious sm ile, a n d poin tin g to the fires, inform ed m e t h a t we were all to be roasted and eaten. I Wdfis to be th e first victim , an d for that- pui ward over the brush ffi-e. “ What further information the ma- lisnant scoundrel might have given me, I know not, for at that moment he was interrupted by a ferocious yell from the majority of the'tribe who were grouped round the fireg. “ With a bound the Indian disap peared, and at a glance I saw what was the matter. “ While I had been unconscious, th e I n d ians had boarded th e deserted bark and secured large quantities of brandy and liquor which they would barter- th e ir souls to possess. T h e y were already under the influence of the potent draughts they had indulged in, and my heart gave a leap ibr iov as I noted tbe relaxed vigilance of treacherous scoundrels. “ Gradually I worked my way to ward the. dark spot where my seven comrades were bound, their wrists se- ourod to pegs arrven aeep in the ground., “ A second ferocious yell escaped from the Indians, whose dark, naked bodies gleamed iu tbe ruddy bla^e of the fires, until to my excited gaze they looked bqt little less than so ions escaped from the infer- ^ THE OflP - n m WHO, giaiLEP.

The law is universal that intensity and duration of action are inversely proportional. It is, therefore^ no mat ter of surprise to find that the human nervous system is no exceptioa to the law.
