A hORRIBAE STORY.

Since the time when the Ancient
Mariner told the terrible t,l., ot the
curse laden ship With her crew f yhast-
" corpses, no more thr,l!in. story If
he sea has be- a related than that "f
the whale ship Diana, that recently
lrifted into one OF the s. etl,nd lsla nds.
A year ago she left the >hetlands on
Whaling voyage to the Arctic reoions,
having on board City men. From that
time nothing va: heard Of her The
friends of those On b.arl became alarm
ed. Money was raised and premiums
offered for the first vessel that would
bring tidin9s Of the missing ship, but
all to no avail. Hope was almost aban-
d0ned.
% the I'd Of April, tie people near
Rona's Voc, In one of the Shetland
Isles, we're startled at seeing ghastly
wreck Of shi ip sailing into the harbor
Battered and ice-crushed, sails and cor.
daee cut away, boats aud spars cut up
tor fuel in the terrible Arctic winter,
her decks covered with dead an6 dying,
the long lost Diana sailed in like ship
from Deadman's Lacd. Fifty men sa,l-
ed out of Lerxick in her, % bright
May morning last year All of the fifty
came back on her on the I'd of April.
this year; the same, yet how different!
Ten men, Of whom the captain was
one, lay stiffened corpses on the deck; ;
thirty-6ve lsy hclples<ly, sick, aud some
dying; two retained sufficient strength
to cnwlcd feebly upon the deck. The
ship vas boarded by the islanders, and
sthey climbed over the bulwarks, the
man At the wheel tainted from excite
ment; one of the sick died as he lay,
his death being announced by the fellow
occupant Of bis berth tsebly moaning,
Take away this dead man, On the
bridge Of the vessel lay the body Of the
captain, Is it had lsiu for four months,
with nine of his dead shipmates by his
side, all decently laid out BY those who
soon expected to share their fate.
The survivors could not bear to sink
the bodies of their comrades into the
sea, but kept them So that when the
last man died the fated ship that had
been their common home should be
their common tomb. The surgeon of
the ship worked faithfully to the last,
but oold, hunger, scurvy and d dysentery
were to-, much for him, The brave old
c,ptaiu vas the first victim, and died
blessing his men. Then the others fell
one BY one, until the ship vas .ensn,ed
only by the dead aud dylng. On, night
more Ut sea would have left the Diana =
floating coffin Not one Of the fifty
would have lived to tell !, he ghAs.ly tale.

It is the fundamental mistake Of most
boys to suppose that they can get rich
faster On money earned b, others than
that earned respectively BY themselves.
If every youth Of 1s to IS years today
were offered $4,000 for ten years 1t
seven per cent. interest, .wo-thirds Of
them would eagerly accept ii !; when the
probable consequence is that thrce-four.
