Their hard that their places ShOod be filled with
hands from the other boat. But some of them
git SO used to the bisness that they cant make
d Twin at emmy thing else, and rather than lay
idle and starve they wood work for nifty small
pay. This you see makes it a great savein to
hire them to do the dirty work, and it don't
make emmy hard feelin either. because they are
looked upon as ded waite by both crews; these
chaps are the STATIONS, cooks and acaters.-
| When their boat Is about to run aground you
Will see them turnin the cold sholder to her,
and bowin and serapein and cringein with
their hats off around the crew of the other
boat. Y on never see regular jam up hand
changein his quarters every trip, because the
two lines are directly in oPposiShun with each
other.''
"Yes," says 1, sswe have en- example of
its bad effects in the case of Capting Tyler
who took berth in the boat he dident belong
TO, and his employers thought that good
menny of the opposishun would foller him,
and some of the leavngs did stick to him, as
/ long as he kept the steem up and furnished
them with wood, but when his four years
were out they knowd the thing had to be dun,
and so to make the raost of it and appear zeal

kick, that was their gratitude. ! know'd

wasent good enuff for him,-that his ieenyus
was kind of thro'd away in an executive posi-
shun, when he ought to be helpin Julius See
EUR jr. make laws for his Colony, and increas-
in the royal influence, (for he was Rovalist
at least as long as they had the ascendancy)
so he TUX It into his he'd that kougress was

by signing his name, with the YariuS prefix
lures of Honorable-Hon.-Th Hon.-and
then he would vary the amusement by tryin
the port-fxtures such as Member of Congress

out, and the poor Gaping was kicked out of
employment by both boats, the small fry who
are open tor emmy JOB are meen enutf to play
just such dirty trick if they have chance
Says Tom, Whenever you see a man
wurkin on the boat he don't belong to, thar's
sumthin unusual in it, and it may be farey
taken as primer fashxr evidence, that a price
IS on his hed-that he is sold. When ] was
President [ did bissness on this great arstlsn
When the boat was all ~ Start nd +ha-
was emmy of the opposishun on bord who did
ent hand in their papers and 90 ashore of their
own accord, l took it for granted that they
were desarters, and if there was some nasty
work to be done that our own feilers was abov
dom, | set them at it, and If ] hadent no use
Tor them, l waited till we got well showed of,
and just when they We're congratulateing
themselves the highest on the poets of n
four years voyage, | kicked them overbord
with a spht-stick on their tails: and both
sides only laughted at their misfortunes."
''les' says !, ''When a man Of the RIGHT
grit finds that he has got into the rong pew he
ant goln to wait to be kicked out, for that
would show that he was willin to stay if he
Good, and consequently just as meen as if he
did stay. Well, so much for those who hold
over or want to do it, | think that between US
we have made the pint perfectly cleer. = But
there Is one thing / always used to think how
time that you did, for the pleasure of having
a small spat on the subject of religun, for to

~ eil'' says he, 81 have no objection to
discus the pint as fur as it has an influence on
poiticks, but as for entering into and baIans-
ing the claims Of this sectarian doctrin or that
sectarian dectrin, ant goin to do il for the
inquiry IS always fruitless and useless, if
man believes the Bible, and practices honesty
and charity, that's enuf, and if he don't believe
emmy thing That's enUif too, because | win

an honest man where ever you find him. for
there are but few Of them In the world Be-
cause man belongs to this church or that So
ciety, don't take it for granted that he can DO
no rong. We sumtilnes see men line the
Suns Of Temperance for the purpose of cain-
ing popularity. They know that men are
sectional and clannish in their feelings. If
these seekers Of popularity loved whiskey be-
fore they publicly solemnly and Of their own
accord, pledged themselves to abstain from il. !
1t seems strange that their faces. should re-
