Whaler's Soliloquy.

; 8
A Nantucket correspondent gives an in
teresting illustration Of the gradual pro-
gre@ of opinion in this anecdote about
shipmate who accompanied him on one of
his early whaling voyages: Stiles was
simple hearted, transparent young fellow !;
and. when we sailed, had been "paying
attention" for some time to young lady,
who, he had reason to think, did not fully
reciprocate his trdent feelings At all
events, the parting, on her side, was not
20 affectionate - he could wish, and ne
was impressed with the belief that she
only kept HIM - standby, in default OF
better offer.
81 don't believe" stiles would say, with
respondent shake Of the head, 81 don't
believe Ann Jones II have me, anyhow
When we had been out few months,
and had met with fair success, Stiles tone
was modified. The burden OF his mono
logue changed to swell, I don'no but
what Ann Jones II have me after al" On
With a thousand barrels of oil under
matches, he became still more hopeful.
"Chance is pretty good for Ann Jones"
he would say. "Pretty good now"
At fifteen hundred barrels he had as
sumed self-satisfed manner, and solilo-
quized-"I guess there's no danger but
what Ann Jones III have me now" AT
two thousand barrels" Ann Jones II be
glad enough to get me now, know"
When we cut the last whale that was to
fill the vessels hold and squared away
for home, Stiles threw his hat in the all
with wild Indian yell of triumph-"I'l
be hanged if III haze Ann Jones, any

Didn't Know Which Girl to Marry.

Ina village up in the edge Of Michigan
lives family, composed in part of three
bouncing fine girls, or young ladies. A
Young man also resides in the village, and
has been paying attention to the young
ladies, escorting them to singing and
spelling schools, taking them sleigh.rid-
ing, to balls, ETC., and was once a favEite
with them, there being some uncertainty
on the part of the young ladies, and some
doubt on his part, as to whose hands he
would probably fall into. Matters went
along thus until few days since, when
one of the girls thought, perhaps wisely,
that it was time the question was definite.

q magistrate, caused warrant to be is
sued for the young man, and placed it in
the hands of constable, requesting the
officer when he served the writ to advise
the youngster to marry the girl at whose
instance the warrant was issued, and thus
stop the suit for breach of promise. The
officer did as requested, and when he thus
advised the defendant, the latter asked,

The horse was very much affected in the

its regular work as q hunter, with perfect
ease and comfort to itself. Tar water was
