Sailors Franks.

DurlhS the night (SayS the author OF
Adventures in the South Geas, some oi
those on deck would come below to lieht
aplpe, or take a mouthtul of beef and
biscuit. Sometimes they fell asleep
and, being missed directly that anything
was to lie done, their shipmates often
amused themselves by running them
aloft with a pulley dropped down the
scuttle from the fore-top.
One night, when all was perfectly
still, | lay awake in the forecastie. The
lamp was burning low and thick, and
swinging from its bllckened beam and
with the uniform motion of the ship the
men in the hunks rolled slowly from side
to side, the hammock swaying in unison.
Presently, | heard a foot upon ladder,
and, looking up, saw wide trouser's S
leg. Immediately, Navy Bob, a stout
old Triton, stealthily descended, and at
once went groping in the locker after
something to eat. Supper ended, he
proceeded to load his pipe Now, for
good, comfortable smoke at sea, there
was never better place than the Julia's
forecastle at midnight. To enjoy the
luxury, one wants into fall in a kind of
dreamy reverie, known only to the
children Of the weed And the very
atmosphere of the place, laden as it was,
with the snores of the slecpers, was in
ducive of this No wonder, then, that
after while Bob's head sunk upon his
breast. Presently his hat fell off, the
extinguished pipe dropped from his
mouth, and the next moment he lay out
on the e-chest, as tranquil as an infant.
Suddenl y an order was heard on deck,
followed By the trampling of feet and
the hauling Of rigging The yards were
being braced, and soon after the sleeper
was missed, for there was a whispered
conference over the scuttle. Directly
ashadow glided across the forecastle
and noiselessly approached the unsus-
pecting Bob. 1t was one of the watch,
with the end Of a rope leading out Of
sight up the scuttle. Pausing an in
slant, the sailor pressed softly the chest
of his victim, sounding his slumbers, and
then, bitching the cord to his ankle, re-
turned to the deck Hardly was his
back turned, when a long limb was
thrust from hammock opposite, and
DIR. Long Ghost, leaping forth warily,
whipped the rope from Bob's ankle and
fastened it In an instant to numbering
chest, the property of the man who had
just disappeared. Scarcely was the
thing done, when 10 with laundering
bound, the clumsy box was torn from
its fastenings, and Swinging from side to
side, flew towards the scuttle. Here it
jammed, and, thinking that Bob, who
was as strong as windlass, was Crap
pling beam, and trying to cut the line,
the jokers on the deck strained furiously
Cn sudden, the chest went aloft, and
striking against the mast, few open,
raining down on the heads of the party
merciless shower of things too numer-
Gus to mention. OF course the uproar
reused all hands, and, when we hurried
on deck, there was the owner of the box
looking aghast at its scattered contents,
and with one wondering hand taking the
altitude Of a bump on his head.

sore, that small pieces of bone have come
out. 1t was attended with the most excru-
ciating pains. In this manner she has suf-
fered without finding any relief She was
attended by some -four best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try DR.. Towns

ties, but it did her no good. Seeing your
advertisement, she was induced by friend
to try your Syrup. sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured bottle 70 her, and

had finished taking that bottle, she was re-
lleved of those eXcruciating pains, and her

around and attend to her household duties :;
and we would hereby recommend this to
others in like manner afflicted, as being one
of the medicines ever offered to the public :;
and we feel duly grateful that we could OBJ
tain anything to procure relief.
