by one of the eminent persons usually

anecdote about a shipmate who accom-
panied him on one of his early whaling
voyages:
Stiles was simple hearted, transpa-
rent young fellow; and, when we sail

some time to young lady, who, he had
reason to think, did not fully recipro-
cate his ardent feelings. At all events.
the parting, on her side, was not so af-
fectionate as he could wish, and he was
impressed with the belief that she only
kept him AS a standby, in default of a
better offer. II don't believe" Stiles
would say, with Respondent shake of
his head, Il don't believe Ann Jones
III have me, anyhow. When we had
been out a few months, and had met
with fair success, Stiles's tone was
modified. The burden of his mono.
logue changed to, "Well, domino but
what Ann Jones Ill bave me, after all"
With 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

Absence OF light, darkness we cali.
Absence Of heat as cold is known.

And what is death but life all gone
To-day must die ere morrows sun
Can shine upon our earth below.
Ih', lite must end ere that's begun
Which is eternal bliss or woe
Then is the tomb SO drcar a place.
