Among the passengers who went away Saturday night was a woman. She was poorly yet neatly dressed, her face wore an expression of anxiety and care, her thin fea- tures and shrunken hands made her look as if she hadn’t tasted a morsel of food in two months. Trouble was plainly depicted on her countenance. It took every cent she had to buy a ticket in order to reach her destination. She was hungry, but she had no means wherewith to purchase food. She gave a look into the gate tender’s benevolent face that quickly touched his sympathetic heart. he devinod her thoughts. He went with her to the dining~room, and told one of the waiters to give the woman something * to eat at his expense, and the gate-tender returned to his post and punched tickets and answered questions. After his labors for the day were over he went to the eating house and enquired the amount of his bill. The meek response was 81.30. For a moment the gate-tender felt weak; his legs seemed likely to give way. At last, in a husky voice. he asked. " What did that woman eat ’2” The waiters handed him the following statement : Spring ohicken,straw- berry shortcake, three boiled eggs, two cups of tea, four biscuits, two bananas. The warm-hearted gate-tender paid the bill. For two months to come it will be useless for hungry-looking women to attempt to attract his attention.â€"â€"Utica (N. 1’.) 0b- Whispef, “Beef Eéo’a cheer ‘2" We know not.

Suddenly a bright thought came to Captain Esposito, and he made them take off their clothes. This was done, and everything that was partielly dry was piled up forward and set on fire.

Captain Esposito, however, talked with them in a hopeful. assuring manner, and succeeded each time in bringing the half- starved and almost lifeless seamen to their right senses. The men attempted to eat their arments, but the brave captain pre- vente this and also kept them from drink- ing the salt water.‘ At last, on the 2181;, shortly before midnight, a light was seen in the distance. and with a shout of joy the men sank unconscious in the boat, all save Captain Eepositg and one man. For two whole days the party drifted about at the mercy of the waves without any nourishment whatever. Four men were kept bailing out until exhausted. when four more would take their place. Had they discontinued bailing for even an hour the little craft would surely ha=ve filled and sank. 0n the first day the sufferings of the men were not so great, but on the second day a feeling of exhaustion came over the party, and several times the seamen wished tolay down and meet their doom, Whig: they considered inevitable. There was not a mouthful of fcod on board, and only a. small canteen of drink- ing-water with which one thoughtful sen- man had provided himself. The supply. hogever, was hardly sufficient for one man. . ”v-__n. At this discovery a. cry of despair went up, and as many as could do so frantically began to bail out with their hats, shoes and hands; but they only succeeded in keeping the boat from filling up. and did not gain an inch on the water. The men, who had been ready at any moment to take to the boats. had scram. bled into one boat and were just ready to row away when the stern of the vessel struck them as it disappeared beneath the waves, nearly causing the boat to capsize and almost fillmg it with water. Two of the thirteen men set to work to bail out, but it was found that the small boat had also been damaged and was leaking. LLJI' Q In the meantime the water was slowly but surely filling the ship. It flooded the hold and washed the salt forward, so that the stern of the vessel was almost above the water.

RESCUED IN MID-OCEAN. “ byes " placed at about thirty rode distant from each other, and the goals of each pair about thirty feet apart. The combatants ranged themselves in parallel lines on each side of the area, facing inwards, and leaving a space between them of about ten rods in breadth. Their crosses were three feet six inches in length, curved at the lower end somewhat in the form of a ladle, the broad part for striking the ball being formed of notwork, woven with thongs of untanned deer~skin, strained to the tension of tight elasticity. The ball, large as a middling sized apple, was also composed of elastic materials. On one side of the area, near the centre of‘ the line and in a conspicuous place, were seated a body of elderly sachems, of each tribe, with knives and talley-sticks to score the game. The rules governing the game were somewhat intricate. None of the players were allowed to touch the ball with hand or foot, until driven beyond the “byes" or landmarks. It was then thrown ‘ back by hand toward or into the centre of the area, when the game proceeded as before. Their mode of counting the game was peculiar. the tallies-men not being in all cases bound by arbitrary rules, but left to the exercise 0' a certain degree of dis. cretionary power. Each passage of the ball between the go"l - at the end of the playground counted we, so long as the contest was nearly equal ; but for the pur- pose of protractiug the game, whenever one party became considerably in advance of the other, the tslley-ohicfs were allowed to check or curtail their count in propor- tion to the excess. For instance if the leading party had run up a regular count of thirty, while their opponents had hum. berod but fifteen, the tallies-men, at their discretion and by consent of each other, though unknown ‘0 the players, would ' Three years afterwards in the summer { of 1797, another match of lacrosse was . played between the two tribes. The San- ' case were this time the challengers, but the ' game was played at the Mohawk Village on the Grand River (two miles from Brant- ford) and was commenced during the visit to Capt. Brant by-Judge \Voodruli‘, of Con- necticut. to whom Cap. Brant had related the particulars of the foregoing unpleasant occurrence. It was in fact the conversa- tion naturally following from the pending match which led the Chief to speak of the incidents connected with the former. The playing was to commence at 9 o’clock in the morning, and the invita- tion of Capt. Brant to see the amusement was accepted by his guest. The place selected for the trial of strength, agility and skill was a broad and beautiful green of perhaps one hundred acres, per- fectly level and smooth as a carpet, without tree or sin: b or stone to encumber it. On one side of the green the Senecas had col- lected in a sort of irregular encampmentâ€" men, women and childrenâ€"to the number of more than a thousand. 0n the other side the Mohawks were actively assembling in yet greater numbers. The stakes deposited by each party were laid upon the ground in heaps, consisting of rifles, tomahawks, swords, belts, knives, blankets, wampum, watches, beads, brooches, furs and a variety 01 other articles of Indian utility and taste, amounting in the whole, according to the estimate of Capt. Brant, to upwards of a ’ thousand dollars a side. By the side of the stakes were seated a group of the aged chiefs â€"“ grave and reverend seigniors ” whose heads had been silvered by the frosts of many winters, and whose visages gave evidence of the toils of war and the chase. ‘ The combatants numbered about six hun- , dred zzpcn aside, young and middle-aged . menâ€"nimble of foot, athletic and muscular. Their oountenanoes beamed with animation and high hope. In order to the free and unfettered use of their sinewy limbs, their persons were naked, with the exception of a single garment like an apron or kilt fastened around the waist and descending nearly to the knee. The area of the play- ground was designated by two pairs of II lunar: " nlunnt‘ at nhnnl- .kdnbur nnl‘ln Jintnua The Gum.» as Played by the Indians a Century Ago. A game of lacrosse was commenced on one occasion, in .he year 1794, between the Mohawk and Seneca tribes of Indians, which was well nigh attended with serious consequences. The Mohawks were the chal- lengers. A! m the game had proceeded tor a considerable time one of the Mohawks, ill a struggle With a Seneca for a stroke at the ball, struck his antagonist a sharp blow with his crease. The occurrence having been observed by the players, the Senecas dropped their hats instantly. to a man, and retired to their posts with silent‘ though evident resentment. Without speaking a word, but with bosoms heavinl! with indignation, they took up the stakes they had deposited and retired to their own country on the upper waters of the Genesee River, towards the northern spur of the Alleghanies. About three weeks subsequent to the occurrence a Seneca. messenger arrived at the Mohawk village, despatched thither by Ohiets Red J acket. Cornplanter and others. complaining of the insult, demanding satisfaction for the affront and denouncing war in case of refusal. The Mohawks, feeling that they were in the wrong, were somewhat troubled at the message. Brant convened a council of his chiefs, and after consultation a mes- sage was returned ‘(0 the Benecas propos- ing an amicable meeting of the chiefs of both nations to confer upon the subject- matter of complaint, with a view of healing the wound by compromise and explanation, and of course without bloodshed. The Senecas, anxious to avoid hostilities with tribe with which they had been in alliance so long, accseded to the pacific proposition, and a joint council was the consequence. Red J acket. however, did all he could to prevent a reconciliation. He delivered an inflammatory speech, labor- ing with all his art and eloquence to aggra- vate the insult, and urging his tribe to . avenge the insult by an appeal to arms. But Captain O’Bail and some others of the ‘older Seneca chiefs were for the adoption of a more conciliatory course. They were little moved by the exciting philippic of Red Jacket and desired nothing more of the Mohawks than a reasonable and honor- able atonement for the wrong done to their young warrior by the party offending. The proposition was met with equal magnanim- ity on the part or the Mohawks, add the result of the council was an adjustment of the difliculty. The oalumet was smoked, and the chiefsâ€"save the disappointed demagogue, Red J acketâ€" separated upon the most amicable terms. LACROSSE.

New cemeteries are still opened year by year, and funeral processions daily wend their way toward the last resting-place in which for long centuries it has been the custom to bury the dead. The first stir about cremation has (had away and would be forgotten by many did not some eccen- tric old lady or half‘cruzed idealist occa- sionally leave a will deciding that their remains shall be consumed by fire. But for all the present indifference or even revolt against the‘incineration in the west, Miss 0.1". GordonCumming’s account in the Contemporary Review of the custom of cremation in its original home in the cast will be read with considerable interest. Among the Hindocs, as every one knows. the process of cremation is common, and at Benares its practice may be observed at any hour, alike beneath the burning rays of the noonday sun and by the light of the pale moon. Many a poor sufferer strains his last efforts to reach the shore of the Ganges, there to die on hallowed ground. The expense of wood for the funeral pyie being too great to secure the burning of the whole body, it is partly charred, and then sent to float down the holy stream into the eternity of the sea. The wealthier Hindoos are more formal in the disposal of their dead. After bathing the body in the river it is swathed in a shroud of white, scarlet, or saffron-colored material ; some times even covered with cloth of gold or silver; some vermillion paint, symbolizing the blood of sprinkling, is then thrown over it, and the body is laid upon the pyre. After adding some sweet grass, precious oil, and more wood, the chief mourner bears a torch three or nine times round the body, touches the dead lips with the holy flame, and lights the pyre. Then it is kindled in several other places, and in a very short ‘ time the body is consumed by the flame, the ashes are gathered up, and the Ganges bears them away. In Japan cremation is i not so publicly performed. Aplain looking house in the corner of the country ceme- tery. with mud walls and earthen floor, inside of which are seven or eight low stone inclosures. serves as a crematory. The body, in a sitting attitude, is placed on a heap of dry fagots in one of the inelosures, and when, after six or eight hours, the fire is burned out, nothing is left but a few white ashes ; those are put into an earthenware urn and buried with or without religious rites. The burning of the bodies is not compulsory in J apan, but Buddhists of the Monte sect are nearly without exception cremated. The town crematories only differ from those in the country by their tall chimneys, by which unpleasant odors are kept from becoming troublesome to the neighborhood. There is also a small room kept separate for the wealthier people, in which they have their dead burned apart. For the use of this private apartment they pay 20s., while those who prefer to be burned in company pay about the fifth part of this sum. The fuel only costs about Is. From 8 p.m. to 6 am. the fires burn on the granite supports which are laid on the earthen floor, and from each of these hearths the ashes are gathered and put separately into an urn. There is no smell to annoy any one, and no nuisance. Ter- rible as cremation may appear to some, the process is far less hideous in its details than that which has its ~l ~w course in the deep, narrow bed in wnich the flower- covered acids is lowered from our sight.â€" I’aIl Mall Gaacttc.

The object of this course was to protract the game and to increase the amusement,while despondency upon either side was prevented and the chance of ultimate victory increased. Frequently by this discretionary mode of counting the game was continued for three or four days. The game on this occasion was commenced by about sixty players on each side, who advanced from their re- spective linus with crosses in their hands into the centre of the play-ground. 01 this number about twenty were stationed at the end laudmarks,to guard the passage of the ball. The players who were to begin were apparently mingled promiscuously together. All things being thus ready, a ‘ beautiful maiden, richly dressed in the native costume .of the people, wearing a red tiara, plumed with eagle’s feathers and glittering with brace- lets and other ornaments of silver, came bounding like 9. gazelle into the area with the ball, which she placed upon the ground in the centre. Instantly the welkin rang with the shouts of the whole multitude of spectators. and the play began ; while the bright-eyed maiden danced back and joined her own circle among the surrounding throng. The match was begun by the two opposing players, who advanced to the ball and with their united crosses raised it from the ground to such an elevation as gave a chance for a fair stroke; when, quick as lightning. it was sped through the air, almost with the ewiftness of a bullet. Much depends upon the first stroke, and great skill is exerted to obtain it. The match was played with great spirit, and the dis- play of agility and muscular strength was surprising. Every nerve was strung; and . so great were the exertions of the players, that each set was relieved by fresh hands every fifteen or twenty minutes; thus j alternating and allowing every player of 3 the whole number to perform his part until ; l the game was 'finished. The scene was full 1 of excitement and animation. The principal 1 Chief entered fullyintc the enjoyment, and by his explanations to his guest heightened its interest, which of itself, the latter declared to have afiorded him a greater degree of satisfaction than any game or pastime that he had ever beheld. The contest was continued three days, at the end of which, after a severe struggle, the Senecas were proclaimed the victors. sweeping the stakes. to the great mortifica- ticn of the proud-spirited Mohawksâ€"the head of the Confederacy.

The attar obtained in the Indian bazaars is always adulterated, as not even the rich- est native will give the price for pure attar, which is sold only to Europeans and costs from 865 to $105 per ounce. The origin of this delicious perfume is thus chronicled in the romantic stories of the East : Moore- jehan Begum, the favorite wife of Jehan Gear, was once walking in her garden, through which ran a canal of rose water, when she remarked some oily particles floating on the surface. These were col» lected, and there aroma found to be so delicious that means were devised to pro- duce the precious essence. This is the pure. unadulterated rose water. ' When adulteratieu is necessary, 3 oil of sandal-wood is used. To secure attar L the rose water is transferred ”to a large metal basin, and tied ever With wet muslin to keep out the insects; the vessel is then let down into a hole in the ground about two feet deep, and allowed to stand quiet all night, for the attsr is always made early in the season, when the nights are 000]. In the morning a little film of utter has risen to the surface of the rose water; this is skimmed off with a. feather and placed in a bottle. When only two or three days old it is of a pale greenish bus, but in a few weeks’ time it subsides into a pale yellow color. It requires the product of 1,000 rose trees to obtain a tolak, or 180 grains of attar. To dream of roses denotes happy love, but not unmixed with sorrow from others. It typifies an artist and is the emblem of love. The rose as a. symbol of silence gave rise to the phrase, “ Unit}: the rose," from the circumstance ('1’ Lbs Pope’s pre~ senting consecrated roses “Milli were placed over confessionals to denote moreoy. It is also said that the phrase is of Greek origin, originating from the old custom of sus- pending a. rose over the {:uest table as an emblem that the conversations should not be repeated elsewhere. Cultivated roses were first planted in England in 1522, the damask rose being introjiu-ed from the south of France some time prior to A. D. 1753, the moss rose in 1724, and the China. rose about 1787. TI‘Lu‘e are four ways of writing it, Attur, Attar, Uttur and Otto of Roses. The last is the least correct.
