ADVANTAGE OF CHEWING ToBAC.
CO. When on the Fejee Island coast,
Commodore Wilkes, Of the Exploring
Expedition, fell in with an Intelligent
savage from whom he learned that
but short time before a vessel had
come ashore in storm, and all the
crew had fallen into the hands Of the
islanders.
"And what did you do with them?"
asked Wilkes anxiously.
''KiIled 'em all, /" answered the saw
age.
"What did You do with them after
you had killed them?"
"Eat good" returned the ans
thropophagos, grinning at the remem>
brance of the horrible feast.
"Did you eat them alll' asked the
commodore, feeling exceedingly un>
well.
ayes, we eat EN- all but one"
Sand why didn't you eat him?" in~
quired the explorer, whose curiosity
got the better of his horror.
"Cos he taste too much like tobac>
co; couldn't eat him no how"

4 TALE or cHlvALRY.

The hero Of my story, Norman Web
ster, SO called from his craft of weaver,
Tor Wabstef, as it was then,) was one
of those fortunate military adventures,
such as NE sometimes read of, who by the
sword succeed in cleaying passage from
the IoWliest station in life to wealth and
distinction. Abandoning his loom, cast
Ing warp and shuttle aside at an early age,
he enrolled his humble name among the
gallant muster then enlisting under the
youthful Henry v. of England, following
his bright-starFed sovereign 70 the battle
fields Of France.
Norman's father, Tom Webster, had
acquired some skill In his craft Of farmorer,
and shrewdly judging that the commence
ment of d war BODIED well for artisans Of
his calling, naturally enough represented
to.Bnr hero that he had better remain at
home. and assist him In hammering out
suits Of mail, instead Of setting out with
the silly intent TO batter them in the foreign
wars just,at the opening ofthe prospective
remuneratiye harvest at home.
But an In vain were honest Toms rep
reservations. Norman chad heard of
battles and he longed to distinguish.
himself ia The field; so be infexibly clung
10 his resolve. Having once made up his
mind that smashing French harness
would produce i richer reward Id shorter
time than either throwing the shuttle. IN
der bis old master. or mending battered
arn1or, under bis father, be Que night.
helped himself 70 The best blade in old
Toms stall, and with this FIRST achieve
ment ID the way of booty, joined the royal
forces at Southampton.
Once waited by fair breezes to the sunny
shores of Normandy. our lero's inTinciblei
courage and great powers of endurance,
added 10 that daring spirit of adventure
that rendered him reckless 10 danger, soon
gained him the notice of the young and
chivalrous Henry ". He rapidly ad
vanced from one promotion to another,
until at the battle of Agipcourt, where he
