The Lnrom-rte- r had fall. rapidly and was still going down; we knew that we wciv in for a norther, which is most tq be feared in these latitudes in the summer months. The wind gradually goes completely round the compass, and, flnallv settling in the north, proceeds to blow with terrific fury. Our second anchor was dropped and all the chain paid out, and aside from the two bowers we bent tin? end 'of a new hawer into the ring of a heavy stream anchor and add that m readiness to cast over the bow if necessary. At il a. in. the wind was fierce that it look up the water all about ua in sheets of spray, which completely enveloped Us in the blinding mist, shutting out the view of land, which was not more than a qua rler of a mile distant.

Her crew were endeavoring to set the spanker in order to throw the vessels head to the wind, and thus they might stand a chance to pass down by us without fouling, but no sooner had the stop been east adrift than the sail filled w itu wind, gave oue slap, and blew to pieces in a shower of cotton threads. To call all hands was the work cf an instant, and with axes man the topgallant forecastle and .stand bv to cut clear when the crash should come. The crews of both vessels were utterly lodpless to avert the collision.

There was n time w lien tho imj ruit of a well known publishing Louse w&s a guarantee of reasonable literary excellence, and bewks bearing such an indorsement cqidd Le purchased with the certainty that they would not turn out to be utterly diapointing and worthless. But that time has gone by; onl books are now on exactly the same theory that publn-Legoods are sold by the auctioneers. There is no warrant as to quality, and the buyer must rely entirely ujion hi own judgment. It is true that the leading publishers still make a pretense of jubjw ting manuscripts to a careful, ci itk-a- l insj?ection before they are accepted ; but it is a pretei.se only, as the looks themselves Lilly testify. Of the more than 4,xi0 new p?ul.lic&tious cf the past year, it is safe to say that not a dozen were put forth at tlca publishers risk on! because of their recognized value. The burden of printing, binding and handling was all borne, with these few possible exceptions, by the persons who wrote the books; aid the merely acted as ordinary commercial loss not only, agents, well tecured f 1 but assured cf a fair rttrn for tbvir time and trouble and fef, the iase cf tlrir names upon the title jges, . . 1 o!der.
