QUEER MODE OF ETTING WIFE.
One little act Of pohteness will sometimes
pave the way to fortune and prefsrment-.
The following sketch illustrates the fact -
A sailor, roughly CARRIED, was sauntering
khrnnmb he skr - a.
rather damp condition, from recent rain
and the rise of the tide. Turning the corr
ner of much freguented and narrow alley,
the mudd yS3ater between her and the oppo.
site sidewalk, with no very satisfied counte-
nance.
The sailor paused, for he was q great ad.
mircr of beauty, and certainly the face that
peeped out from under the little chip hat,
and the auburn curls hanging glossy and
unconfned, over her muslin dress, might
tempt curious or On admiring glance
Perplexed, the lady+lut forth one little foot,
when the gallant sailor, with characteristic
impulsiycness, exclaimed -" That little
foot, lady, should not be soiled with the flth
of this lane Wait for moment and will
make on path"
So, springing past her into o carpenters
shop opposite, he bargained for plank which
stood in the doorway, and, coming back to
the smiling girl, who was just coquettish e.
nougk to accept the services Of the handsome
sailor, he bridged the narrow stream, and
she tripped across with merry |" Thank
YOU" and q roguish smile, making her eyes
as dazzling as they could be. :.
Alas our young sailor was perfectly
charmed What else could make him catch
up and shoulder she plank, and follow the
little witch to her home, she twice perform
ing the ceremony Of walking the plank,
and each time thanking him with one of her
eloquent smiles Presently, our hero saw
the young lady trip up the marble steps Of .
palace Of house and disappear within its
rosewood entrance; for full . minute he
stood looking at the door, and then, with ,
| wonderful big SIGH, turned away, disposed
of.his drawbridge, and wended his path back
to the ship
The next day heIwas astonished with an
order of promotion from the captain. Peo1
Jack was speechless with amazement. He
had not dreamed Of being exalted to the dig
nity Of second mates Office on board ono Of
the most splendid vessels that sailed out oil
the mort of New Orleans. He knew he wa
.omuetent. for, instead of spending his mon
ey in visiting theatres and bowling alleys hs
had purchased books and had become quite
student but heexpected years to intervene
before his ambitious hopes could be realized
His superior officers seemed to look upon
him with considerable leniency, and gave
him many a fair opportunity to gather mari
time knowledge and in q year the hand
