Norway for the sage from Constadt to Hull and another Englishman who by the namu of Jack Hastings joined her at the same time He and I had lodged together on and somewhat acquainted before we became shipmates He was a man of information and from his talk had seen bin share of the world but was not much of a sailor as I had already surmised from thu cut of his jib We found Copt of the way n Tartar in the worst lense of the word nnd the voyage was anything but a pleasant one especially to Hastings Ho lind shipped for able wages and his deficiences were soon apparent to a captain who had a hawk's

would rather hare his tyrannical treatment than have in a haunted ship while some of ub welcomed a firm friend in this un- accountable spiritual presence or ever it might be The captain's angry passions were to some extent checked by it though now and then thoy broka forth suddenly that the object of hit fury received a blow before it could interfere Wo had arrived within a couple of days

again to save his life But be could not found and 1 have never heard of him since My madness was all n sham and the man overboard was only a bundle of old duds surmounted by my old bat I slipped down

of it looking all round the and self alone Tho captain dropped his I end and went below his mind in a of sod fear and Hastings escaped further beating for that night But a few days wero sufficient for the I captain to forget his and I myself was the next victim of bis He had ordered me to make a in the and of an old fagged rope to bo used for a lashing somewhere I did so and returned it to him telling him I had made the best job of it that I could Well if that's your caid he you're as much of a lubber as your ner Hastings I'll dock you both to seaman's pay In vain I remonstrated the That night it became necessary to call all hands out to reef again and while we were on tbe a thrilling cry arose from the bows such as might well have been railed by a A human form was seen by several of us erect on the rail near the and then n loud splash was heard in the water under our lee Mr and the captain who were on deck rushed to the side a hat wai seen for a moment bobbing up on the crest of a sea nnd the same dreadful yell of insanity was repeated ever more shrill than before Captain Phelps echoed the cry but faintly and fell insensible to the deck Mr hailed us on the with a voice like a

has had his eyo on bis father for several yean and the thought that he would one day reach a development that would to thrash the tas been sweeter to him than honey in the comb Lately having arrived at thing past twenty-one been scarcely able to repress his joy that his time had come and the sire had a bint at what was imminent The crisis came the er day and the boy went for the father hip and thigh The latter is verging on three score but the agile way in which be brought that aspiring young man to his mother earth was a new revelation to him However he heard that gouging was a very effective thing when o disputant is in place and accordingly in tiii midst of bis punishment he went for the old man's eyeball with bis thumb For nn instant he was surprised at the size of tho socket as he felt around the cavity for the eye But when the hot ragged edge of c complete ect'of.teeth cut his thumb to the bone he knew he had made a fatal mistake and began to howl like a After several bars of mentation andn considerable supplication the old man let the sufferer up on tion that he wouldn't whip any mure ers for a day or two The youngster thereupon packed up his valuables with mournful collected the cherished mementoes of his childhood and bade a solemn and final farewell to the home und the scenes of his happy youth But this is a fearfully winter nnd he returned to the parental j the same evening to gouge and o roam no more A simple little sentence is this to sure and yet It may be considered as one of the enemies with which have to deal Jt is very pleasant to have all the little commodities offered for sale in tht market and it is sometimes hard to deny one's self of tbe tame whin be obtained by saying charge it But habit of getting articles however the charge

of the men in the boics lence when the play was over invited him to the nest morning and staggered him by saying Aly young man is surprised at his liabilities r Arnold I am the manager of which though

aggregate to reduce his cash materially comes In many instances if the cash were re- quired tbo purchase would not be made even had tbe person tbe money by him but to tome getting an article charged does not seem like parting with an alent Still when comes it always does illusion and a feeling is experienced of parting with money and receiving nothing in return Jf there is an actual necessity of
