If thoeo on shore lire awed by the terrible violence of the winds mid waves during n tempest, whnt muBt he the experiences ol men who live In a building exposed to the full fury of tho heavy ocean breakers! When we look at u lighthouse In calm weather, It is almost Impossible to lenlizc that the sea Bometlmes bleaks over the lantern. Such Is, however, 4ieqnciitlv the- case, nnd an Instance ol this oectii red not long after the completion ot tho Bishop's Bock Light, which Is erected on a rock beyond the Scllly Island, far out In the Atlantic. One of the bulldels told of a heavy sen striking under thelahtern and ciurylng away the fog-bell, which hung by a stout arm of nearly .three luchea squnre. A few yeai s ago the light- house keepers on thU rock were in a terrible predicament dm lug a hurricane, the violence of which was described us being fearful. The lighthouse whb struck by enormous waves In quick succession, each causing u noise like the' ditchings of a cannon, and making the massive stone building rock to and fro, so that every arilcal lell nwny from Its place. One feailul sen broke the' gicat Itms In sovernl pleceB, and .mother smashed the cylinders of the spare light, while sand from the bottom thirty fathoms deep, was found heaped tip on the light, house gallery.

HlBBtore was in Royal street, wheie, behind a shqw or legitimate trade, he was busy running the embargo with goods and Africans, lie wore the disguise carelessly. He was cool and intrepliland had only the courts to evade, nnd his unlawful ndveutureB did not lift his inline from the published lists of manages of society bulls, or break his ncqunlntance with prominent legislators. * * * John and Pierre Laftttc became the commercial agents ot the "privateers." By and by they were their actual chiefs. They won gicat prosperity for the bund; prizes were rich and frequent and slnve cargoes piolltable. John Lafltte did not at this time go to Sea.
