A By the copy-book pretension, Who call it an invention “Thm’s nothing special, and you may as well have your night 03, if the rest of us can’t.” “Thank you, sir.” Alfred Harvey, the yomgest reporter on the paper, would no doubt have preferred to , work, but there was nothing for him to do, and as the dismissal of the chief had been kindly meant, he accepted it in the same spirit. . It was no ordinary achievement for a boy of nineteen to have advanced, by his unaided aptitude and energy. from the typesetter’s case to the reportnrial stat! of oneof the wt daily journals. This was what Alfred had recently suc ceeded in doing. but he. discover-ml only too ”on that the pneiiti m. once nltained, in- volved dilllcultles uml «lrawlmoks. The new reporter‘s pmitiuli was a Very lubordinnte one. Ho \\1L\‘ paid at the rate olso much per column (or such of his ur- ticles only as they were actually printed in the paper. What was out out ol‘ his “copy " by the editor or rejected bodily was so much time and labor lost. The consequence was that Alfred, like many others, not only had no opportunity even to attempt to dLQiuguish himself by “fine writing," but his earnings were actual- ly less than he could command at type- mtting. These were the reflections, no doubt, that tulded to cost down the spirits of the young reporteras he quitted the editorial rooms that Christmas EVe. Alfred drew on his gloves and started in the direction of the river: he usually went home by steamboat. Ashe elbowed his way through the throng of people he occasional- lythrew back his head and quickened his step with an air of determination. He was thinking of the resolutions he meant to make on the approaching New Year’s Dayâ€"resolutions of pluck and perse- verance in his work, which would triumph in spite of all obstacles. Arriving at the pier, he went aboard the boat that was in waiting and, according to his habit, walked straight to the forward The boat glided out into the swift, dark tide. As the vessel bumped against the pier which was Alf’s destination, 3. man wearing a long black overcoat, with the collar turned up about his ears, advanced in a nervous manner to the extreme edge of the deck, ready to leap on to the pier. Bemight have accomplished the feat in safety had not the boat at the same instant recoiled and suddenly receded several feet. The passengerswerehorrified to see the unfortunate man fall short of his landing and,throwinguphisarmswith a wild cry of terror, disappear in the dark seething waters. He had escaped being caught and crushed between the boat and the pier, but his plight was none the less terrible. “Man overboard! Hold her back !” shout- ed the men on the pier to the wheelman. The order was obeyed with promptness. _ The poor fellow in the water was incapable .-. of making any eflort to save himself. ‘ One of the pier hands, who had had preâ€" vious experience of such accidents, did the are thing practicable under the circum- stances. Growing a long boathook, he thrust it intothe water, and dexterOusly catching it in the loose clothing of the drowning man, dragged him with more expedition than gentlenem to the pier. His comrade waited there to grasp the , limp and dripping body, and the two gently f raised it from the water.
