Chance here had risen to the eleva-

and exclaims: "You are my Proyi-

NJ. Achille de Vaulabelle, who was
in negotiations at that moment for a
notary's study, purchased the Natnj njaune
and thus made his debut in The career
of letters, which he has since pursued
as historian with so much distinction.
We took leave of Soule He went off
with his false passport, arrived in Eng
land, and then embarked for the United
States, where he was not long in making
for himself a name at the bar Con-
sumptlve symptoms disappeared in the
atmosphere OF the New World, and
robust health has added its strong aid
in promotion of the French advocate
of New Orleans. Soule married ad-
vantageously and became rich. He
received letters of naturalization. and

members of Congress- And finally, he

The Last Fish Story.

We don't know tsays the New York
Spirit of the Times, J who wrote the fol-
lowing melancholy and heart-rending
tale, but the author is certainly man
of rare faculties 1t is said to have
been taken from the log-book of yes
sci some time since arrived in port, and
is vouched for as being true in every
particular; the reader had therefore
better believe it:
In course of the voyage. that dread
ful disease, ship fever broke out among
the crew. One of the sailors, among
the first victims, was accompanied by
his son, lad of fourteen years, who
was strongly attached to his father, and
remained with him day and night, and
never could be persuaded to leave his
sick father for moment.
A large shark was seen every day
following the vessel, evidently for the
purpose of devouring any one who
should die and be committed to the
deep.
After lingering a few days, the sailor
died. As was the custom at sea, he
was sewed up in sheet. and for the
purpose of sinking him, an old grind
stone and a carpenters axe were put
in with him. The very impressive ser
vice of the Episcopal Church was then
read, and the body committed to the
deep.
The poor boy, who had watched the
proceedings closely, plunged in after
his father, when the enormous shark
swallowed them both. The second day
after this dreadful scene, as the shark
continued to follow the vessel, flor there
were others sick on the ship,) one of the
sailors proposed as they had shark
hook on board, to make an effort to take
him.
They fastened the hook TO a large
rope and baited it with piece of pork,
threw it into the sea, and the shark in
stantly swallowed it. Having thus
hooked him. by means of windlass
they hoisted him on board. After he
was dead, they prepared to open him,
when one of the sailors STOPPING down
for that purpose suddenly paused, and
after listening a few moments, declared |
most solemnly he heard low, gutter
ing sound, which appeared to proceed
from the shark The sailors, after en-
oying hearty laugh at his expense,
proceeded to listen for themselves,
when they were compelled to admit
hey heard similar sound. They then
proceeded to open the shark, when the
mystery was explained.
1t appears the sailor was not dead
out in trance; and his son, on making
his discovery, had, by means of his
lnife, ripped open the sheet. Having
hus liberated his father, they both went
o work and righted up the old grind
tone-the boy was turning, the father
vas noliing on to the old ship carpen-
er's axe, for the purpose of cutting their
way out of their Jonah-like prison,
which occasioned the noise heard by
he sailor. As it was the hottest sea
on of the year, and very little air STIR
ing where they were at work, they
we're both s9peGtinp tremendoltSlp

advantages over the latter:
1st. 1t rs nat poisonous. Sleeping apartments
recently painted may be occupied with impunity,
and painters using this paint not subject to
the distressing maladies arising from the use of
lead.
ID It has beauty and durability. ZINC, on
inside work, becomes much harder than any
other paint and is not easily soiled is whittier than
pure white lead, and, as it retains its whteness
and brilliancy unaffected by bilge water, COAL
or snlphurous gases it is unrivalled as a paint
Tor ships and steamboats,. For outside use, ex-
posed to weather or water, Zinc Paints viii re-
tain their color and preserving qualities long af-
ter other paints are destroyed.
3D. This Paint will cover (equal weghts)
about two thirds more snrface than pure lead.
This, in connection with their greater durability
makes in the long run, the cost Of painting with
zinc less than half the cost with lead.
