A CRACK IN THE DOOR ; 011, T/110 WIDOW'S cIIIIIMIAS PAIrry. The prettiest hou3e, the prettiest gal den, the best servants, arid the heroes bank eccount in X. belonged to Mre Mehitable Aronstrone, tvidow. Som people alse 'declared that she was th irettiest woman in X.1 bnt these wer lot the other women. They said sh had red hair and was too fat, and wha the gentlemen saw to admire in her they couldn't guess, etc, etc., but say it as c ften as they migetevery' man in the )lace was Hetty Armstrong's devoted servant, frieud, and a dozen of them her overs also. A bright, dashing, warm. iearted woman she was, es merzy as though she had never known a care.— Not that sloe had forgotten the love of ier youth—the galla et blaek-eyed Cap • tair , whose ship had pore down in mid- oceaa five years before, and whose pic- tured face lay near her heart, night and day, sleeping and waking; but she was too fell of life end hope to live entirely in the past, and loved neither hours of melancholy ltor telittt women call " a good cry.' To forget all sorrow:if she could, and be as happy as she might, were the two grand rules of her life, and therefore, people who did not know 'Eletty Armstrong thought her heartless, and made a great mistake. They called her a flirt,, and that wee • not true either. She only flirted with those who began the game first, and that a woman hots a right to do. At X., if a gentleman called wice upon a lady. his attentions were said to be ' very par- ticular;' if he saw her home from meeting,' rumor declared that they were engaged ;' and if he spent an evening with her, they were to be married nexi week,' for certainty. But Hetty Arm- strong was somehow not included in floe general rule. She had determined to do as she chose, She went everywheie With every unmarried gentleman of her set. She was friendly when elle chose, ma flirted when she liked, After set- ting gossip afloat a dozen times, she gained her- point, and people let her alone. It was Hetey Armstrong's way, and no indicaticn of matrimonial intern. lions. For years gentlemen haunted her parlors, escorted' her hither and thither, stung with her, danced with held eon tided in lier; and Adored h el', and vilJ 110 goseip had not 0115.1TiOa her, until :suddenly it str4Inger made his debut at X.„ and set tho tongues n -going beyond eeenoin,l-t.ctty Arm8trongls power of s ITO WM" tfill ho was handsoine, be Was Ontripar tively young, Ho had just Unit totuth of the exqukite about him which so charming when 'a man's0 ma,n t 6flAt ; 1;00(0, 1'1010888 in manner, educated, accomplished, alto- gether, he openly thing himself at netty Nenu1rong'8 foot, and &dared himself her admirer.

On that day the.vessel sprang ft leak, all bands were ordered .to the pumps, Which, however, couhl not be kept clear. The next day the weather moderated to ealre, but there Was a heavy sea on.— Seeieg that the leak was serious, the eapttkloi nm°allidee feodibe r lePabout, s terns I el' I;t e eblitc11; there being little wind uo headway could be made. The seine night the wind rose again, and the men were °nee More put to the pumps, and by coostarot exertion the vessel wets kept afloat. It became evident, notwithstanding the constant pumping, that there was but small ohance of getting to a place of safety ; end accordingly on the Friday night it wows weeolved_to abandon her,. alddefer that purneee4lie.lougboat was 44:4 out, and some bread adt water weel' put into her. She was hardly launched , when she was completely stove in. An etl'ort was then mule to keep the vessel free, by bailing water out of the fore- castle head with buckets. By this time she bad become completely waterlogged. Ou ,the morning of the 18th a vessel was sighted, but the stranger, being herself very heavy in the water, znade no attempt to come near the Dagmar. Under the direction of the captain, the crew then commenced to make a reit, which they constructed out of a square top alost, a topsail yard, two water -casks and other timbers that were aveilable. The same afternoon another vessel was sighted, but sloe was evidently too far off to see the signals of distress, and no assistance wee notrendered. The saute evening, about eight o'clock, the raft was finished and launched, and mold° fast to the stern of tile vessel. The smell boat—the only remaing one—was else got out and made fast to taeraft and in the boat were placed a bag 'of bt—se read and breaker water .An of wat. Anliftn,ia.; then left the ship, which was feet, tug, and three of them took themselves to the raft, while the others got into the boat. They were riding there in tow of the disabled vessel for about Bzi hour, wtion she went right over on her beam ends, lay there for some five min- utes, and theta went down head fore - mood. There was just time to cut the rope which bound the raft to the found- ering vessel before she disappeared.— The position of the wretched crew, with only a small boat and a frail raft to bear them up from the waves, and with only a small stock of peovisions, was very precariens indeed, but worse was to fol- low. At first, after the loss of their ship, the weather seemed to favor them somewhat. There was not, much sea or wind, and although they had no means., of navigating themselves to any landing - place, there was still a hope that, should their provisions enable theni to hold out. . long enough, they might be picked up; by some passing vessel. The beat not, being large enough to lob] all at once,, they took turns on the raft, which" was occupied by three men for the first three nights, while those whose turn it was hi the boat were enabled to get a little' sleep, exeepting the man wh3 was. • keeping watch. All went without mis- hap, the men living on their doh) of. bread and water, till the Wednesday at noon, when the wind bct an to blow a full gale. The peril wh'ch thus arose to the unfortunate moll was not long in mapife.sting itself. The boat containing the captain and four men was struck by a sea v hich lifted up end turned her bottom Ward S. Tile captotin went dw' i a d was not seen any more. The other f, in managed to scramble on to, the b ttoM Of tile boat, and thoie on the raft being enabled to pull the boat towards them, all four got on to the raft. The boat was rent to icces by the shock that capsized her. and conse- quently o be was of no further use to the s hip wt ecked ciew ; and their bread and water being lost there was nothing but starvation staring them in the face.— In this .desperate plight they clung to the raft, now and then catching an odd fish, which was devoured greedily, an same drops of water were canght 1 y spreading an oilskin jacket—the only ono among the seven men—when it rained,. There they remained, gradu- ally gettieg more and more exhaust° i, till Sunday mornieg, the 20th, when a colored man named John Davie, belong- ing to Sierra Leone, died. Ile had be- come fearfully delirious throneh drink- ing salt water, and his body, which was in a dreadful state from) exposure, was cast overboard. The next day Jackson, another colored seaman, expired, and before lois body was cast into the' sea the horrible cravitigs of hunger tempted some of the surviynrs to eat a portion of tlie flesh, wl ile others, with what degree of compunction starvation had left them, only drank a little of the blood. The revolting expedient to which the famishing, men Were &'iiY(1.1 tvas only sufficient to eupport life for a few boars longer in t he case of two or more of the -ill 'fated crew. A. Portu- guese named Antonio and a FM11011111= named Jean Batiste were the next to succumb; and on the morning of the 23rd theee only remained on the raft the boatswain (Mackenzie), the cock (James Blunt), and a SOMISall named Win, King, All three had given them- selves up to die, and Intel lain down in utter despair, with their miserable gars ipile 4 ments Wrflippea round them, when the IT WORICS THAT WAY. bargee Jam) Richottdson, Brixharn (Captain Avery), bore down 'upon them when lieeevero huddled together on Yesterday wile fifteen or twenty men the raft, the three men were in an apt were sitting in a saloon at the ferry yelling state of emaciation, shrunken dock, toasting their shins and lament- and 8hriVillEd up and quite unable to ing tho hard tiniest a nnin opened the move. door and called out Who watts work'at twelve shillings Tim, AMNESTY QUESTIONew*A, Wash. a day? ington despatch says 1—Though the Not a person made an labStvor., Amnesty Bill Ballell I ed Was defeated on Soh)s) Ant weir iayes and pretended to 15t1i int., Blaine, after the nOtIlla ad* he asleetnend ethers INdlf% b114Y- looking jotirned, standing in front of the speak. out of the windows.

Look here, old fellow,' said Char- lie taking hie cigar from between his him double meaniugs. And this not for a week or a month but for a year, at the end of Milo timelletty Armstrong began to understand that she was ex- pected by everybody to accept Charles Rokewood when be offered tier his heart and band. Meanwhile, the soft eves and sweet voice, and delicate atten- tions and the winning songs of her ad- mirer were not ivithout their effect up- on Hetty A.russtrong's heart. It began to be emoscious of certein tremors and flutterings in his presence. Her cheeks flushed. as they had in girlhood. Her dreams were not the eeber, practical dreameewhielt netereetste.Artaand-twees ly should clients ihdulge iro, and as the days rolled on she felt more conscious that the Yes' which was expected of her would be easily uttered. She tried to be prudent and judge the moth carefully. The result was that she declared him to be an augel. At host Ratty Armstrong fairly let go of the rudder of self•will, to which she clung so long and allowed herself to drift down the tide of circumstances which were to lead her into the arms of' Charles Rokewood. She felt that she would be happier with such a boom to repose upon, and began ,to wonder whether it was really necessary for a widow to be married m pearl color when white was so becoming to her com- plexion. So matters stood when Christmas drew near, and with it Hetty Arm- strong's 'regular Christmas Eve party. All X , or nearly all would be there, even the Rev. Luther Paragon, who amiably forgot ,to say that he disapproved of dancing and charades when Mrs. Arm- strong declared that sheadored them. It was always the merriest party of the season it X., and this tine Mrs. Arm- strong decided tist sloe would outdo herself. There was it dash more of co- quetry in her dress ; it dash of extrava- puce in the supper; a glitter of rare china, and a rare perfume of flowers in the parlors—sj ust as they say wine warms up the wits, and fancy does love at times. All thing would be brighter, fresher, more sparkling, just now, thought, or rather vaguely felt, the woman who had just begun to know her heart aright and thought sloe knew another's. She stood, in her rich dress of lace and silk, flowers in her hair and ou her bosom, before her guests arrived;before her grate fire in the puler, when some one touched her on the shoulder, and, tureing, she saw Charles Rokewood. Hoface was a little paler, her eyes more earnest in their look than usual, and it ewe. of happy terror came upon er, as she guessed why be had come 20 early.

"AI have an even- ing before me which calls for all my calmness. If it is anything, I—I---I must ask you you to weit.

She let bins do it, blushing the while, not caring toow to look at him. All the evening, after the other guests were there, her thoughts wandered back to that nioniont. She knew what he would say, and she could answer only tu oee way—only one—sloe liked him so well. And I have felt so sure 1 could never like any oue again,' thought Hetty Armstrong. There is fate in it.' But she danced and sang and talked as meal, at d no one guessed that was what she was dreaming—not oven Mr. Rultewood, who, a,s a. chosen friend, had slipped away from the parlors and was smoking and talking in the dress- ing room. He was a little out of sorts. Hetty, conscious of her ditties as a hostess, insisted tm being public prop- erty, to,ntl could not be lured into it tete- a-tetd, and tee woonen who were ready to be talked to he did not care about.— Engaged men are generally known by their boorish conduct to ladies general- ly. Rolcewood, although not engaged, believed himself far enough upon the road to forget his suavity, and fell back upon cigars and his masculine friends, whenever his lady-13ve cpuld not be whispered to or gazed at. Consequently damsels tylm thought Roltewood chairing were wondering what had become of him, tvhen Biddy, the waitrestemysterioualy beckoned her into the hall, and in an awful whisper, maid " more spoon t wove needed for th3 cram ' 'Of course there nmst be, solid Mrs, Arinstrong.

' Y -e -es, said the friend, doebtfallY; 'but you can't think how hard you'd find it, and if you stay out late ' they make such a row—sit up for you in a nigh4ap, and cry vvlien you come in.' I'd manage that,' said Roltewood, 'by staying out every night until! day- light. The one rule I should put in practice would be—never let a woman have her own way.' The spoons tinkled a little more, and Mrs. Armstrong's face was terribly flushed, but she listened still. ' Of course you yield a great deal to the woman you are it. love with,' said Mr. Rokewood, evidently brushing the ashes from his cigar; but that's be- ceese of the romance and all that sort of nonsense, whicb dies out with the honey -moon. You can find women enough to write poetry to, and to talk sentiment with, married or single. A,s for your wife, she's the woman that keeps honee for you, and the sooner you•rnalte her aware of the fact the better. When I marry, J ohes, my dear fellow, it will be with DO idiotic idea of perpetual courtship in my mind. I'll begin as I intend to go ou, and be mas- ter, depend upon it.' ' But not my master,' whispered the pretty Mrs. Armstrong, not mine.' Mistress Armstrong, them spoons,' whispered Biddy, at the stairs, just then. Relay Armstrong, gathered up the vpoons which had slipped loosely down into her lap. She looked at 'them .as she did so. They were solid and ele • gent as WAS all her silver. Her eyes glanced about the room, which wealth and taste had made 1 he perfoction of elegance and comfort. Her room 1 She heard down stairs, the merry chat of her guests, the sound of music and dancing. She remembered that in the kitchen her servants were making ready a supper fit for a king. She turned to the mirror; a handsome woman, still young and elegantly dressed, glanced proudly back. Au hour before, all this the woman included, she would have given to Charles Roliewood had he been but a beggar. • Just a 'tinge of pain went through' her heart. One tear stole down her glowing cheek. Then she gave a little, bitter laugh. It' alone am Queen of me, she mis- quoted, and ran out to give the spoons to Biddy. "It was hard to find them," ehe said "bot here they areeat last." And she laughed' a little louder than usual, and not quite naturally. It was the merriest Christmas party of them all,said every one of herguests, mid Hetty Armstrong seemed the mer- riest there. But no one saw her when the door had closed upon them, and she was alone in her chamber: No matter how brief a love dream has been, the awakening is hard, especial- ly if it is sudden. He tty Armstrong refused Charles Roitewood, the next day, and peorle who guessed it blamed her Utterly. As for Charles himself, he was amazed and injured and deeply grieved,for he never guessed that his lectures on married life lied a second auditor; ncr that Het- ty would have stud "Yes," instead 01.

Presently the train stopped at Nobleboro. There was nothing but 4 rough house, which marked the station visible.

Ile had been a good-looking young fellow ; but as he lay on a bed in Belle- vde Hospital, his aspect was unplea- sant. Hie face was criss grossed with adhesive plaster, a clearing had been made in the forest of hair on his head, and one leg steel( out into sight bandaged. His features were immo- ble by reason of the stiffening patch- work, his mouth would open only way, and when he talked the unvarying ex- pression of his hone was very queer. The, surgeon load slightly drawn the on:melee o11. one side of „hie mouth, with tbc stripe front one sendpeintelse, smiled blandly; bnt on the other side the visage was solemn and resentfel. His mune is Joeni Garland. "How are you feeling 2" asked the house surgeon. "Jest as if my head was as big as a barrel, and almost all of the barrel was head," replied John. ' The reporter was standing at John's smiling side, wondering at his good hu- mor ; but a change of attitude showed the other side of his face, which seem: ed much more appropriate le the oc- casion. He was iuduced to tell about, the accident which had injured him. "Me and my father were workitog in West Sixty-second street," he said, "blasting out rock. We was to get a cellar cleaned out by,spring ; so there wasn't no hurry about it. Use to kind o' worked along easy.

A great deal of labor and hard tug- ging -may be saved if every wagon or truck is provided with 100 feet of stout rope and a single pulley. A snatch - block is the best,arranged with a strong hook, and the usual construction for slipping of the rope under the strap to the sheave, instead of waiting t'.) reeve the line through one end. If a wagon gets stuck in heavy mud ordu the snow, the driver has only to fasten hie block to the tongue, reeve the rope through it, and attach one end to a tree or post and let lois team pull on the other. Their work is of course just halved, or rather they brino twice as much pow- er to bear in dragging the wagon clear.
