The progress of Opinion.


A sea- captain tells the following
anecdote about shipmate who ac-
companied him on one of his early
whaling voyages:
stiles was a simple hearted, trans
parent young fellow, and when they
sailed had been "paying attention"
for some time to young lady, who,
he had reason to think, did not fully
reciprocate his ardent feelings. At
all events, the parting on her part was
not so affectiOnate as he could wish,
and he was impressed with the belief
that she only kept him rs stanby
In default of better offer.
~ don't believe" Stiles would say,
with respondent shake OF the head
III dent believe Ann Jones III have
me, anyhow.
When they had been out few
months, and had met with fair sue
cess, Stiles tone was modified. The
burden of his monologue was chang
ed to tl-'. l.7.l
"Well, I dunno but what Ann
Jones III have me, after all.
With a thousand barrels Of oil I'M
der matches, he became still more
hopeful.
defiance is pretty good. for Ann
Jones'" he would say; pretty good
now"
At fifteen hundred barrels, he had
assumed self satisfied manner, and
soliloquized:
81 guess there's no danger but what
Ann Jones III have me now"
At two Thousand barrels:
"Ann Jones III be glad enough e
get me now, know"
When they cut up the last whal,
that was to fill the vessell's hold, and
squared away for home, Stiles threw
his hat in the air, with n wild Indian
yell of triumph, exclaiming:
"Pll be hanged If I'll have Am
Jones, anyhow"

The Woman and the Crow.

At a certain cross roads In the State
of Alabama, stood small grocery or
whisky shop, previous to the rebell-
ion, where "busthead" and "chain-
lightning" were dealt out to the
thirsty unwashed, at scents quart.
The presiding genius of this delect-
able Institution, was one Bill Skies,
who, among various other pets, had
II domesticated crow, black as the ace
of spades. This crow had learned
among other things, to repeat quite
plainly the words ''dam youW which
he, of course heard frequently used
in the grocery. During the preva-
lence of u knock down and-drag-out-
fight one day, however, the crow was
frightened from home, and flew off
into the woods never to return.
About three miles from the grocery
was u settlement meeting house an
old tumble-down, dilapidated affair,
only used on certain occasions, when
n "circuit rider" happened that way.
Into this building went the crow,
taking peaceable possession; and two
days thereafter the old church was
thrown open for preaching, and n
