In 1820, the waters in the vicinity of the-West India islands swarmed with fielre, ruthless pirates, respecting neither sex or the flag of any country. Many a rich merchantman suddenly • disappeared, without a trace remaining to tell either the fate of orew or vessel. In the height of the excitement, when merchantmen were forced to carry both guns and extra men, the Navy Depart­ ment fitted out the corvette Port Fire, , Cjpeculi&rly adapted, from her great speed I jand light draught of water, to cruise II puocegB fully in the shoal waters of the ^Tf TtaWest India station. The vessel Was | commanded by Ralph Jenkins, whose *r 'hair had grown gray m the service of - his country, while his First Lieutenant and executive officer was a Georgian, Jack Hayes by name. It was toward the cloto of a long sunny day in March that the look­ out on the foretopsail yard reported, ~SaiiOiM a Where away?" demanded the offioer of the deck. * Bight ahead, sir!" r • * Can you make her out?" t > < "I can't say exaotly, sir; but she I' , iaiooka like a brig." ' All%iands were called to make sail, and, clothed in folds of snow-white can­ vas, the Port Fire rapidly neared the stranger. f The wind was rapidly dying out, blow­ ing in fitful gusts and flaws from off the land, then from a point right ahead, and finally boxing all around the com- _ ass. At last a dead calm rested on the water with the exception of a few spirts jof air aloft, which occasionally filled the light sails of the corvette, forging , her ahead, and gradually lessening the distance intervening between the man- of-war and the stranger. It was 4 bells, or 10 o'clock at night, before the Corvette was close enough to . scan the vessel. It was a brig, lying like a log in the water, bowing and dip­ s" ping her bluff bows iuto the long, easy swell of the tropics. The large square stern and low, fiat counter pronounced her at once a sugar drogher. "She has the look of a Frenchman, Mr. Hayes," remarked the commander, its he scanned her closely through his night-glass. "I see a flutter of feminine apparel, too. She must have passengers. •; Better hail her, sir; she may nave some­ thing to communicate." "Brig ahoy!" demanded Mr. Hayes through his trumpet. "Sari" "What brig is that ?" MZd Marie Antoinette, du Havana, to Bordeaux," came hoarsely back. "This is the United States corvette Port Fire on a cruise. Have you seen any suspicious vessels since you left port?" After a moment's hesitation, a voice replied: "I am the only person on board who can speak English. We have seen no vessels of any kind, with the exception of one this afternoon, and that was 'away under the land; could not make her out, but thought it was a schooner." By direction of the Captain, Jack in­ formed the speaker that the Port Fire would remain in her vicinity until she gained an - offing, as the locality was anything bus safe for a vessel of her class. A smart little breeze had sprung up, and with royals and top-gallant sails down on the caps, courses hauled up and staysails stowed, the corvette edged off to windward, running a parallel course to the brig, which lumbered along, eretiking and timber. The moon was sinking to rest in the west, obscured every few moments by light, fleecy clouds that moved slowly across its disk, impelled by the trade- wind, and, as the corvette's bell an­ nounced the hour of midnight, the final ray of the luminous orb danced and shimmered across the bright, bubbling waters, and disappeared beneath the horizon, The stars and planets twinkled and flickered above, reflected in myriad numbers by the bright water below. Unable to court slumber, Jack Hayes sought the quarter-deck, where the offi­ cer of the watch was slowly pacing to and fro. " Where is the brig, Mr. Lorner?" " Down to leeward, sir, and some dis­ tance astern.* • "Ah, yes. I think* I can make her out. But--hark I Surely that was the report of a pistoL There it is again-- and screams, as true as we are afloat. Keep her off, sir. Call all hands to make sail, and I'll report tc Capt. Jenk­ ins. There is seme rascally business going on aboard of that brig which we must have a nearer look at." In obedience to the summons of the boatswain's mite, the crew rapidly gained their stations, and in five min­ utes the Port fire, under a cloud of canvas, was again heading for the brig. groaning in every The battery had bean cut loose, the crew peeping forth through the open ports as they rapidly nearedthestranger. In a loud voice Capt. Jenkins halted to know what wa* the cause of the alarm. "Nothing at all," was the ready re­ sponse. "The crew were mutinous, and I fired my pistols over their heads." "Rather strange, that," Mr. Hayes-- *hr "Yes, si*; aud that voice does not found lite the one who hailed me 'the first part of the evening, saying he was the only one who could speak En­ glish." "You are right, sir. Call away the first cutter. Well take a look at hito, anyway." Scarcely had the falls of the boat been cast loose when a voice, muffled and compressed, was heard: "We are boarded by pirates," fol­ lowed by a heavy thud and a low groan. In an instant the armed boat's orew, beaded^ by a senior Lieutenant, had leaped over the side, the oars struck the water with a simultaneous splash, as the excited seamen exerted them­ selves to the utmost to dash alongside the brig. In the meanwhile the Port Fire had slowly forged ahead of the brif, her maintopsail to the mast, shivering end shaking as she came up and fell aft from the wind. About three oable0Kmgth to the leeward of the brig was the low hull and bare, rakish masts of a •chooner. The quick eyes of Jack Hayes de­ tected her in a moment, and his orders came sharp and clear from the quarter­ deck. " Clear away the starboard battery! Load with grape I Sail-trimmers, to your stations! Fill away the main- yard 1" As tne corvette gathered headway and moved through the water he gave the order: " Load your guns, take good aim, fire I" The flash of the guns lit up the water With a momentary glare, followed by the groans and imprecations of wounded men. Again came the orders from the quarter-deck: "Load! Solid shot--run out one point abaft the beam--fire!" Again did the streams of fire burst from the side of the corvette. The smoke of the guns hung over the water, so that it was impossible to ascertain the execution done by the iron missiles, but the crash of timbers and a cloud of splinters that fell pattering in the water assured the crew of the corvette that they had not expended their am­ munition in vain. < Before another castigation oould be administered, however, the pirates had got their craft in splendid trim, and with every stitch of canvas set taut as a board, with sheets hauled flat aft, were dancing up to windward with the speed of a shark in pursuit of prey. At that moment tfie first cutter re­ turned, the officer in charge hurriedly making his way to the quarter-deck, where he was met by Capt. Jenkins. "The brig has been boarded by pi­ rates, taking the half-sleepy watch en­ tirely by surprise. The Captain and mate offered a slight resistance, but were immediately overcome and mur­ dered. There is an English gentleman on board with his daughter. He is a planter,- I believe. He it was who, bound and half choked, said there were pirates on board, and received a ter­ rible blow on the head for his temerity. The pirate Captain has made good his escape to the schooner, taking with him the young daughter of the unfortunate gentleman. There are several on board who require the services of a surgeon." The surgeon, with a full supply of medical comforts; was soon dispatched for the brig, while the corvette, with every stitch of oanvas set that would draw, was soon in full pursuit of the piratical craft, which was scarcely be­ yond range of the bow-chasers. The breeze continued to freshen* and it was soon proved conclusively that the schooner was no match for the well- trimmed man-of-wax. "Try the effect of our forward guns, Mr. Hayes. Let the Captains of the battery aim high. On no account hull her for we might injure the lady. Crip­ ple his spars, and we'll soon be along­ side." Carefully the gunners trained their pieces, and soon huge rents in the can­ vas could be seen. A shower of splint­ ers from the mainmast soon followed, and a moment after the lofty spar top­ pled over the side. The schooner lay. a helpless wreck on the water, while the frowning battery of the corvette stared the blood-stained rascals in the face. With a desperate courage, worthy of a better cause, the pirates worked with desperation to clear away the wreck, which prevented them from working their guns. But as the boats of the Port Fire dashed alongside they manned the low bulwarks, cutting and hewing at the blue-sliirted, seamen* knowing full well that they were fighting with halters about their necks. Every inch of the deck was disputed, and it was not without some slain and a few desperate wounds that the crew of the corvette gained a foothold. The man-of-war could easily have blown the pirate out of water as she lay at her mercy, rolling to and fro under the heavy guns of the oorvette, but with the lady on board suoh decided action was impossible. The leader of the gang was a huge, burly fellow, who wielded his cutlass with skill and deadly effect. Seaman after seaman went down before him as he fought like a tiger at bay. .>•, With a clash the cutlass of the des­ perate scoundrel crossed with the blade wielded by Jack Hayes, who had at­ tempted in vain to engage the rascal. Suddenly, before a cut could be made by either party, the pirate staggered, his cutlass spun through the air, while he, groping wildly with his hands, fell prostrate on the deck. A random ball had pierced his heart, and with his fall the gang lost courage, threw down their arms, and sullenly allowed themselves to be ironed and transferred to the Port Fire. ^ ̂ Entering the eabin. .Tack beheld the form of a female stretched on the tran­ som, half concealed by the flowing drapery of a curtain. Attired in a loose but well-fitting drets of white, which was confined at her waist by a broad blue sash; her hair black and luxuriant, falling around her waist, the bright olive complexion, small hands, exquis­ itely-turned ankle, and the tiny foot which peeped from beneath the felds of her dress proclaimed her at once to be a native of Jamaica, better known, perhaps, as an English Creole. She had fainted from excess of terror, the terrible uncertainty of her position, together with the noise and excitement of the engagement, proving too much for her. Before the Lieutenant, somewhat perplexed at the situation, could take measures to bring the maiden to her­ self a carpenter's mate hastily entered the cabin, reporting the prize as rap­ idly sinking. The pirates had scuttled her, determined that she should not fall into the hand* of the victorious man-of-war's men. Hastily taking the insensible girl in his arms, Jack hastened from the sink­ ing wreck, regained the corvette, de­ positing the burden on the cushioned transom of Capt. Jenkins' cabin, where every attention was devoted to her. Soon her eyes opened, only to close again with a shudder, while a sigh es­ caped from her lips. Gradually she recovered her full powers of animation, and gazed wildly about her. In a soft, low, soothing tone the old commander soon calmed her fears, allayed the feverish excitement and as­ sured her of her safety. There was nothiifg to fear; all danger had vanished; the last vestige of the bloody craft had sunk beneath the waves, and, asdaylight in flaming colors tinged the eastern horizon, the corvette was standing for the brig with all sail set. Rose Foster's first inquiry was for the welfare and safety of her dear father. They had left their valuable plantation to indulge in a little pleasure excursion, traveling through France, which had been the native country of her mother, whom she had lost in early childhood. As the corvette rapidly neared the brig, the planter's daughter could scarcely control her impatience in her eagerness to learn something regarding her father, whom she knew had been grievously wounded. The forms of men could be seen moving about the brig's deck, while Jack, in obedience to a sign from hie commauder, jumped in­ to the gig to ascertain for the fair pass- .enger the ; exact condition of her father's wounds, received in her defense. He was met at the gapgway by the surgeon, who, with a sorrowful shake of his head, confirmed the Lieutenant's worst suspicions. The old gentleman had never rallied from the terrible blow he had sustained on the head, but had gradually sunk lower and lower un­ til he had finally breathed his last. Gently as possible the terrible truth was broken to the orphan, who sobbed and moaned in the arms of the Cap­ tain, who with all the tenderness of a woman offered such consolation as he could. With the loss of her father she had no relative in the world, no blood rela­ tion upon whom she could call for assistance or advice. Possessed of wealth, with a large and valuable plan­ tation, the poor girl know not what to do, or where to go. In an agony of grief and despair she begged of Capt. Jenkins to assist her with his ripened wisdom, which he promised to do, and the course of the corvette was directed to be laid for the island of Jamaica. In the meanwhile Jack Hayes, by direction of his commander, had been enacting a drama on deck. All hands had been piped aft. and the First Lieutenant briefly stated to them all the character and calling of the sohooner lately captured and de­ stroyed. The prisoners, some ten in number, had been caught in the act of piracy, with the blood of their victims still red on their hands. Whips were rove off from the yard- arms, the nooses placed about the hard­ ened villains' necks. Five minutes for prayer was allowed, which was con­ sumed in ribald jest. With a wave of his hand the Lieu­ tenant replaced his watch in his pocket, the men grasped the lines with a firm grip, and the next instant the last of the piratical gang swung suspended in mid air. ^ All traces of the execution were care­ fully removed before Rose was allowed to visit the broad deck of the corvette. Every precaution was taken to soothe her, and none tried harder or with more success than Jack Hayes. Her beauty, intelligence, winning manners, together with the mantle of misfortnne which had so suddenly en­ veloped the Creole, all tended to excite the deepest feelings of love and sym­ pathy in the manly bosom of the Lieu­ tenant. Every opportunity was seized by Jack to court the society of the fair Creole, and before the Port Fire dropped anchor in the harbor of her destination the two were evidently on the best of terms. The old gray-hailed Captain smiled softly to himself as he noted the young people together, and during the suc­ ceeding twelve months, when the ves­ sel was not cruising, he allowed his executive every chance to visit the fair orphan. Finally the announcement was made of the approaching marriage of the two, and the entire ship's company were present when the ceremony was per­ formed, the old Captain giving the bride away. Jack soon after resigned to look after {the immense interests of his wife's prop­ erty, and around the hospitable board of the planter and ex-Lieuteuant none found a warmer welcome than his old friends and shipmates of the Port Fire. Postage Stamps. Their Language.-- The language of postage stamps, instead of flowers, has been invented by a practical American. Thus, when a postage stamp is placed upside down on the left corner of the letter, it means "I love you;" in the same crosswise, "My heart is another's straight up and down,"Good-by, sweet­ heart, good-by;" up&ide down in the right-hand corner, "Write no more;" in the center at the top, "Yes; ' opposite at the bottom, "No;" on the right-hand corner at a right angle, "Do you love me?" in the left-liand corner, "I hate you;", top corner o . the right, "I wish you friendship;" bottom corner on the •left, " I seek your acquaintance;" pn a line with the surname, "Accept my love;" the same upside down, *' I am engaged;" at right angles in the same place, " I long to see vou;" in the mid­ dle at the right-han^edge, " Write im­ mediately." Stamp-Collecting.--It is said that postage-stamp collecting originated in India, where the mission­ aries are able to reclaim from the heartless Hindoo parents the little babies they are accustomed to sacrifice before their idols, by trading postage stamps for them. For some reason the barbarians covet these paper tokens, • either to offer to their gods after the manner of the Chinese, or to decorate their huts. The fact, becoming known in England, has worked a chapge in the economy of canceled stamps. There are charity schools in England to which admittance is gained by presenting a certain number of defaced stamps. All large counting-houses throughout the realm carefully preserve every envelope, and the junio# clerks make it their business to soal: off the Queen's heads and paste them on huge rolls of wall paper. They are pre en ted to some worthy lad who makes an exchange of them fof learning. JUL SOlttS. Paupkbism is steadily Increasing in •Germany. , Gfn. Bukssh>» advocates Canadian annexation.
