And yet, though sheltered by the for­ est-clad point of land jutting out from tiie miin, small vessel wms getting ready to leave the quiet inland waters and put to sea. The cause of thus daring death by the oommander of this little vessel was be­ cause at the peak the lone star flag of the struggling Cubans fluttered in the breeze and sentence most severe rested upon all who served beneath its folds. The little vessel, once a New York yacht, had run in to the Cuban coast after dark, bearing arms, ammunition, stores, and a few good men and true for the patriot army of Cespedes in the mountains. Having safely delivered her cargo into the chargo of the unfortunate Gen. Ryan,* her American commander deter- mined to put to sea in the face of the storm, for he knew that Spanish gun­ boats were watching for him, and that capture meant certain death by the gar- rote or rifle. " Stand ready all to make sail. The lltorm will be more merciful than the Spaniards," called out the yacht's Cap­ tain ; and the crew of half a dozen men and two junior officers sprang to obey, when to their earn came the deep boom ' oI a gun. All paused, for what could it mean ? Certainly it was not the roar of thun­ der, for its mutterings were heard far away to landward. Could another Cuban croft be running III and the gun come from a Spaniard in chase ? No, it was the deep boom of a heavy gun, and those on the yacht looked at each other in awe as it was repeated, for tbey knew that the brazen throat was pleading piteously for help, and that 100 lives--perhaps many more--hung on the answer to that appeal. " They are minute guns, and they are calling for a pilot," said Enrique Del' •: Monte, a handsome young Cuban, who Vtus second in command of the yacht. " Will any go to their aid ?" asked the American commander. " No, they are Cuban pilots, and it must be a Spanish man-of-war that needs <hem." "It Beems a pity to see them wrecked, even if they are our enemies. Hark 1 How pleading are those guns!" answered the American. "Enemies though they be, they shall not die, for I will save them I" " You, Enrique Delmonte ?" " Yes, my Cuptain ; for, as you know, my boyhood's home is near by, and I know these waters well. Will you put me on board, for you are going to sea ?" •aid the noble young Cuban. " It is a fearful risk for you to run, Delmonte; you are already under sen­ tence of death, and--" " I will die in a good cause. Come, let us lose no time, from the sound of those guns the vessel is drifting in rap- -idly." The Amerioan Captain offered no ar­ gument further, and the anchor was raised, the sails, reefed down, were set. and the little yacht sped like a huge, white bird away from its safe nest to battle with the wild waters and winds beyond. It took the united strength of the Oaptain and Enrique Delmonte, who acted as pilot, to hold the yacht on her course, for the Beas washed over her decks in torrents, and she staggered fearfully beneath the rude shocks of tiie wavesi At length the channel was safely passed through, and the open waters reached, when, not half a mile away, came the vivid red flash of a gun, and the deep boom rolled across the waters. "It is a large vessel, and evidently a steamer, from the light rig the gun's flash showed," said the £!aptain. "I know that vessel well, Captain; lor three years of my service in the Span­ ish navy was passed on her deck, and I would rather lose my life than see her go down." Enrique Delmonte spoke with great earnestness, and the American felt that he hud some deep cause for wishing to aave the vessel. He knew that his father was a Spaniard and his mother a Cuban, and that he had been reared in the navy «f Spain, which he had left to serve his native land. Shaping their course so as to head the drifting vessel off, a lantern was shown to tell of coming succor, and the cheer that broke from the crew at sight of it was heard on board the yacht. " Delmonte, again 1 must remind you of the risk you run," said the Captain. "I know all, and I will take my chances; as soon as I board the Ala- manda you had better stand seaward, so an not to be in this neigiiborhocKl at day­ light." " And von, Delmonte ?** «« Oh ! I will run the vessel into the harbor ire left, and then go ashore and hasten on after Ryan, for I can overtake hint, and when you again oome to the island I will join you unless I con do more good ashore ; but here we are, and I will hail." In a ringing voice, and in Spanish, Enrique Delmonte hailed the large ves- ael, which was now plainly seen to be a large steamer and war vessel, whose light would not work her off shore. " Ho, the Alamanda 1" " Ay, ay, are you a pilot ? " came the answer from the vessel of war. " Yes ; I will run under your lee and oornc on board," ** All right, lor our machinery has broken down, we have lost our anchors, and are drifting rapidly,"" said an officer, in earnest tones. " I know that voice n It te Opt. Vero­ na himself. Now good-hy, Captain, and if harm befall Enrique Delmonte tell my friends how I died; and the young Cuban grasped the American's hand, and stood ready to seize the ropes ready to be thrown to him. Though plunging fearfully the Ameri­ can held the yacht firmly in hand, and ran close in under the stern of the steamer, from which ropes were skillful­ ly thrown, and adroitly grasped by the Cuban, who, with a good-by on his lips to his shipmates, claml>ered over the sides of the Spanish vessel, while the yacht bounded away from the enemy those on board had so much cause to dread, and started on her return voyage to the United States. • Upon reaching the deck Enrique Del­ monte found himself in the presence of a score of officers, while a crowd of sea­ men stood not far away, gazing upon the daring pilot that had come out to their aid; but, with his collar muffling his faoe, his hat drawn down over his eyes, he was not recognized, though he looked upon more than a dozen men who had long been his comrades in the navy of Spain. "Are yon a Cuban pilot?" asked Capt. Verona, a haughty, stem-faced man of 45. "I am a Cuban, and have coma to keep you Off ponder rocks." was the quiet reply, while he pointed shoreward to the line of breakers. "Our rig is too light for us $o work off shore, and our machinery is broken down and anchois gone, so, if jou can not save us, we are doomed," said the Spaniard, ' . "I know that well, Senor, and I will take the helm," was the reply; and, going to his post of duty, he assumed oontrol, and, no longer struggling to beat out to sea, the steamer was put be­ fore the gale, and went rushing landward with fearful speed. Calm and firm Enrique Delmonte stood at the wheel, his eyes watching every move of the vessel, and penetrat­ ing the gloom ahead to catch sight of some well-known object by which, he could get his course. And on rushed the Spanish vessel into the channel, and, though apparently surrounded by breakers, holding her course unswervingly, until she glided around the point of land that formed the harbor, and was in safety. "You can move alongsideof yonder rocks, Senor, for there is depth enough," said the Cuban, when the cheers of the Spaniards at their rescue died away. " You are a daring and skillful pilot, Senor, and you have saved myself and crew, so name your reward," said Capt. Verona. " The reward I ask, Senor Captain, is mercy for any poor Cubans that may fall into your hands," was the brusque reply. "Ha! this rings like the wordB of a traitor to Spain ! Are you such, sir ?" "I am a Cuban patriot, Senor," was the calm reply. " Ah, and seem proud of it. By Nep­ tune I but we have been saved by a foe ; your love of gold must be great indeed for you to risk your life aboard this ship." " I told you, Senor, the only reward I ask. I have saved yon from wreck, so will now say farewell." "Hold! Quartermaster, hold that battle-lantern here that I may catch a glimpse of this fine fellow's face." The lantern flashed upon the dark, handsome and fearless countenance and a dozen voices called ius name : " Enrique Delmonte!" " Aye, Enrique Delmonte I am ; once an officer aboard this vessel, but now a Cuban patriot, for I would not*fight against my native land." He stood before them unflinchingly now, and for a moment there was dead silence. Then Capt. Verona spoke : " Enrique Delmonte. your resignation of your Lieutenant's commission was never accepted, but, on the contrary, you were tried as a deserter and con­ demned to death as such, beside coming under the sentence of those who call themselves patriots. Under these cir­ cumstances, notwithstanding your no­ ble deed this night, it is my duty to ar­ rest you and place you in irons.' " What! would you be guilty of a deed so vile, Senor?" asked the Cuban, indig­ nantly. " My duty, sir, compels me. Senor, put this man in irons.' A defiant smile crossed the handsome face of Enrique Delmonte as the officer approached and ironed his wrists; but he made no resistance, and was led away between decks and placed in a state-room, a guard being stationed at his door. Throwing himself down upon a seat, he murmured: "Ah! Senor Verona, I know well your hatred toward me; it is because your daughter was my promised wife, and you would rather have me die than see her one day marry a Cuban who was the enemy of Spain.' The door softly opened, and, looking up, by the dim light from the ward-room lamp Enrique Delmonte saw a slender form before him--a maiden with a faoe of exquisite beauty. " Enrique!" " Consuelo 1" It was all they said, and, springing forward, she threw her arms around his neck. " Oh, Enrique, I know all, and how cruel has been my father!" she said, after a while. "He says he doea his duty, Con­ suelo." " Bali! he ponders to his hate. I kuew yon, Enrique, when I saw you oome on board, but I held myself aloof and I heard all that passed. Once, four years ago, when I was a girl of 14, you sprung into the sea and saved my life when a wave carried me from the dcqk, ajirl to-night you have saved it again-- aye, and the lives of 200 men, your ene­ mies. Now I shall save yours 1" "Consuelo, what mean you ?" asked the Cuban, in surprise. " I mean that, though your duty called you to war against Spain, I never sev­ ered our engagement, and, loving you still, Enriqne, I will not see you die, for already you are condemned, and the gorrote will end your life. No ! I luive arranged mv plan. Come !" " But think of your father's anger when he discovers--" "What is his anger to your life? Here, throw this cloak around you and put on this officer's cap," and she picked up a bundle she had dropped, wliile, w.tb a key she held in her hand, she quickly unlocked the irons that bound him. He did as she told him, and then drew her to his heart, saying feelingly : "Consuelo, will you be true to me until peace shall reign, between your land and mine ?" " Forever, Enrique ! I can live only with you. But oome, I sent the guard off on a message and he will soon re­ turn." K. She led him from the state-room, up the companion-way and to the deck. The wind still howled mournfully through the trees and the roar of the sea was terrific to hear, but the steamer was calmly resting upon the waters moored to a large rock, and with heavy branches overhanging the decks. Against the poop-deck an officer shrunk from the blast, and forward was the watch on duty; but no one notioed the tall form of the Cuban, as with a nod of farewell he sprung over the side of the ship upon the foliage-clad rocks, and disappeared from view--his life saved by the woman he loved, and who idolized him. Waiting until her lover had time to reach the forest, Consuelo Verona en­ tered the cabin where her father sat writing letters, and, looking up, he said: " Why, daughter, I thought you had retired?" " No, father, I remained up to prevent your bringing a stain upon your proud name," she answered calmly. " What mean you, child ? " "Simply, that had Enrique Delmonte died at your hands, after his noble conduct to-night in saving his foes, it would have been a foul blot upon your honor!" "Bnt he is oondemned to die, and--" " And I set him free." The Spaniard sprang to his feet in a rage, hissing forth : " Girl, how dare you brave me in tfii« way? Ho! On deck, there!" " Hold, father, he has escaped, for this is his own land near by, and he knows it well; and, more, I alone am to blame, for the guard over him I ordered away, and, as I often carry or 'eqp for you, he obeyed. In the place of En­ rique Delmonte, father, make me your prisoner." Capt. Verona stormed like a madman, and roused the whole ship; but it did no good, for the Cuban had escaped, and in safety gained the mountains, where he joined the command of Gen. Jordan, and won distinction as a gallant officer of) cavalry; and through all the weary sti'uggle in Cuba there were two hearts longing for peace, for, though one was a soldier in the patriot ranks and the other a daughter of Spain, their hearts were l>ound together by ties of love which death alone could sever.

Bead of it.--Cairo Bulletin. Paper Boxes Substituted for Tin. A few years ago a process of paper-box manufacturing was invented, which lias since placed paper, the rival of so many nmterials, in the position of a strong rival of tin in packages for certain arti­ cles of commerce. Previous to this in­ vention the great objection to using round paper boxes for small packages, when tin was commonly used, waa that the covers, being in two pieces (a disk and a rim), were not durable or safe enough to fill the requirements of fre­ quent handling. Under the new process die heads or covers of the box are " drawn " from a single piece of straw board, so that not only is there no sepa­ rating of a disk from the rim by use, but there is no seam through.which the con­ tents of the box can find its way. The body of the box is cut'from paper tubes, made of several thicknesses of a light weight of straw board or heavy straw paper. Almost any desired diameter or length of box can be made. The heads are made of heavy straw board, from what is known as No. 90 to No. 50, or heavier if desired, and are " drawn" under a peculiar process, with great rapidity. One of these heads is fastened to the bottom of the box, another of the same kind is adjusted to the top, not fastened, and the box is complete. For these a straw board lined with fancy- colored paper can be used; oftentimes a tin-foil paper is selected, in which case, with the body of the box covered by a label, the package resembles a hand­ some, solid tin box. The boxes have been introduced into a great variety of uses, where, on account of cheapness, they have already superseded tin. Large quantities ore used with and without water, air and grease-proof preparations, in packing such articles as chjoride of lime, paris green, putty, tar, seeds, etc. The same principle is ap­ plied to the manufacture of small pill boxes and toy paper-cap boxes, the Lat­ ter being known now by " Young Ameri­ ca," almost to an entirety, as his chief Fourth of July delight. This class of boxes is made with astonishing rapidity, as can be imagined from the fact that they are sold, by the thousand gross, as low as 7 and 8 cents a gross. A Happy Hattor.

Toting Qualifications in the State of Rhode Island* The franchise ih Rhode Island not being very well understood by the gen­ eral public, the following explanation of the matter is made as brief and succinct as possible: There are two classes of voters in Rhode Island, property aud registry voters. Both can vote for all general officers, Mayors aud general city officers, and Presidential Electors, but only property voters can ballot for motp- bers of City Councils in cities,, the idea govarniug this latter franchise being that only property-holders can have an inter­ est in the question of taxation. Qualifi­ cations of voters are distinct. First, natives' of the United States can become registry voters by a residence of two years in th« State and six months in the town; or they become property voters by a residence of one year and owning $134 value of real estate. Second, those born in foreign countries must be naturalized, must live one year in the State, and must own §134 worth of real estate in all cases. They cannot become registry voters, nor voters in any way, except by owning real estate, but when made voters by owning such real estate, they vote for oncers of every kind. It is this imperative clause, that in Rhode Island naturalized citizens must own real estate to the value of $l:J4, which is not generally known. Be­ sides the qualifications for registry voters, these persons must have their names duly entered in the registry list before the end of December ot the preoeding year, and must pay $1 registxv fee before ihe Kith day of January of the year in which tliay intend to vote. Reg­ istry voters of American birth can bo- come property voters by paying a tax ou $134 worth of property, veal or pe.-sonal. Men native born, without property, r«au or personal, may be taxed- (or u uonziual sum of $300 persomd pro^rty, so called, and thus become prope. ty voters.

(Md Snaps. havm' some pretty wintrish weather," said old Dad4y Wothenpoon to Uncle Sammy Hooniwell, as the two gentlemen met near the City Hall. " Right for'ard weather for the season." "Jist so; jist so," conceded Uncle Sammy. "Reminds me of the fall of 1831. It commenced lon^ the fore part of November, and froze stiff till March. Good, smart weather, too. I remember that it was so ©old in Brooklyn that November that bilin' water froze over a hot fire." Daddy Wotherspoon looked at him and braced himself. "Yea, yea," said he, " I mind it well. That's the Ml the milk froze in the oows. But the oo)d season was in 1827. It commenced in the middle of October aud ran through to April. All the oil froze in the lamps, and we didn't have a light until spring set in." " Ay, ay," responded Uncle Sammy, growing rigid. " It's just like yesterday to me. I walked 140 miles due east from Sandy Hook, on the ice, and did back, owing to the convexity of the earth, you know. It was down hill comin' this way. But that wasn't as cold as the winter of 1821. That semen commenced in September, and the mer­ cury didn't rise a degree till May. Don't you remember now we used to breathe hard, let it freeze, cut a hole in it, and crawl in for shelter ? You haven't forgotten that?" "Not V **id Daddy Wotherspoon, after a short pause. " That's the win­ ter we used to give the horses melted lead to drink, and keep a hot fire under 'em so it wouldn't harden till they got it of 1817. We begun to feel it in the ter part of August, and she boomed stiddy till the 30th of June. I got tlirough the whole spell by living in an ice-house. It was too .cold to go out doors, and I jist camped in an ice­ house. You remember that season of 1817. That's the winter we wore un­ dershirts of sand-paper , to keep up a friction." " Well, I should say I did," retorted Uncle Sammy. " What! remember 1817 ? 'Deed I do. That was the spell when it took a Bteam grindstone four days to light a match. Ay, ay! But do you know I was uncomfortably warm that winter ?" "How so?" demanded Daddy Woth­ erspoon, breathing hard. " Runnin' around your ice-house to find out where you got in. It was an awful spell, though. How long did it last? From August till the 30th of June? I guess you're right. But you mind the snap of 1813, don't you ? It commenced on the 1st of July, and went around and lapped over a week. That year the smoke frose in the chimneys and we had to blast it out with dyna­ mite. J think that was the worst we ever had. All the clocks froze up so we didn't know the time for a year, and when men used to set fire to their build- in's so's to raise the rent. Yes, indeed. I got $3,000 a month for four burnin* buildin's. There was a heap of sufferin' that winter, because we lived on alco­ hol and phosphorus, till the alcohol froze, and then we eat the brimstone ends of matches and jumped around till they caught fire.

ROUT WKIJ<St48 Vaaa?at, N. T. P.O. Ba»US' Preaching to the lum. A good story is told by a Brattleboto clergyman who had been in the habit oi preaching Sunday afternoons to tba in­ mates ot the asylum for the insane. The clergymen m tLat villiage take turns is this work, and one afternoon one of them preached abont the alabaster box ot precious ointgaegt which was jx -urdv" upon the Master s feet As he came out of the chapel one of the patients came to hrai and said, You have got us pretty well anointed now," and in explanation added that for two preceding Sundays different clergymen had preached on the same subject This story reminds ns of another, ac good a one, told of a clergyman in Jack­ sonville, 111. This minister was ont of s field and hearing there was no preaching in the asylum in that city sought the opportunity to dispense the gospel there. At his first service he was vfery much gratified to observe the close attention that one of the patients gave to his ser­ mon, and he went away and told some of his friends that he had found a very ful field of labor in the asylum which been neglected too long. The toext Sunday he noticed the same intent ex- hope! haa 1 pression on the face of this hopeful lis­ tener and thought the man would soon be converted. Again the next Sunday the same man gave eager attention, con­ vincing the clergyman that he was not far from the kingdom of heaven. In the sermon the old story had been related about Hindoo women easting their chil­ dren into the Qanges. The minister sought an opportunity at the close ol service for a personal conversation with his eager listener. The patient grasped his hand warmly and said: "I couldn't help thinking while you were telling that story that it was a great pity your mother didn't chuck you into the river when yon were a baby. -- Si Albans (Kt) Me*- tcnger.
