A YANKEE CAPTAINS ADVENTURE.

There lived, many years ago, on the
eastern shore of Mount Desert, Ca large
island of the coast Of Maine now a
fashionable place Of summer rcsort-an old
fisherman BY the name of Jedc!iah Spinnet,
who owned a schooner Of some hundred
tons burthen, in which he, together with
four stout sons, was wont to 90 about once
year to the Grand Bank for the purpose
of catching Goldfish. The old man had i've
things about which he loved to boast-his
schooner, Bctsey jenkins" and his four
sons.
The four sons were all that the father
represented them to be, and no one ever
doubted his word when he said their Ike
was not to be found for fifty miles around.
TIE Oldest was twenty-five, while the
youngest had just reached his sixteenth
year, and they answered to the names of
Seth, Andrew, John and Samuel.
One morning stranger called upon
Jedediah, to engage him to take to Havana
some iron machinery belonging to steam
engines for sugar plantations. The terms
were soon agreed upon, and the old man
and his sons Immediately set about putting
the machinery on board that accomplished,
they set sail for Havana with fair winl,an
for several days proceeded on their course
without an adventure of any kind. One
morning, however, a vessel was deserted
off the starboard quarter, which, with some
hesitation, the old man pronounced to be
pirate. There was not much time for
doubling for the vessel soon salutel them
with the not very agreeable whining of an
eighteen pound shot Just under their stern.
% That means for us to heaye to, re-
marked the old man.
'.Then guess we had-bettcr do it,
hadn't we +" said Seth
"of course
Accordingly the "Bctscy jenkins =
was brought up into the wind, and her
main boom hauled up to the windwarl.
Now, boys said the old man, as soon
as the schooner came to stand, all We
can do is to be cool az possible, and trust
to. fortune. There is no way to escape
that l see now, but perhaps if we are civil,
they will take such stuff rs 81. ''''

crying about it, fir it can't be helped.
Now, Get your pistols ana see that they
are surely loaded, and have your knives
ready, but be sure and hide them, 50 that
the pirates shall see no signs Of resistance"
In a few moments all the arms which the
schooner afforded. with the exception Of
one or two old mu>hcts. were secured
about the persons Of our Down casters,
and they quietly awaited tie coming Of the .
schooner
F"one word more, boys" said the oil
man, just as the pirate came round under
the stern. "Now watch every motion |

all. We have got forty thousand silver dol
lars nailed in boxes just forward Of the
cabin buIkhead, but Mr. before dids't sus-
! pect anybody would have thought Of look
/ ing for it there
perhaps So chuckled the pirate, while
his eyes sparkled with delight. And then
! turning TO his own vessel, he ordered all
but three Of his mea to jump on board the
/ Yankee.
In a few minutes the pirates had taken
! off the matches, and il their haste to get at
the silver dollars" they forgot all else
/ but not so with spinnet; be had his wits at
work, and ~ sooner had the last of the
villains disappeared below the hatchway,
then he turned to his boys.
"Now, boys, for your lives. Seth, you
clap your knife across the fore and peak
halyaris, and you, John, cut the main.
| Be quick now, and the moment you have
done it, jump aboard the pirate. Andrew
and Sam, YOU cast off the pirates grab
bling, and then you jump--thtn we'll walk
into them three chaps aboard the clipper.
| Now for it.
No sooner were the last words out Of tbs
old man mouth, than his sons did exactly
as they were directed. The fore and main
halyards were cut, and the two grappings
cast of at the same instant, and as the
heavy gatfs came rafting down, our he
oes leqped on board the pirate. The mo-
ment the clipper felt at liberty, her head
swung off, and before the astonished buc-
! cancers could gain the deck of the fisher
man, their own vessel was near half ca
ble's length to the lecwarI, sweeping grace
fully away before the wind, while the three
men who had been left in charge were cas-
lily secured.
IIalIoa, therc!" shouted Captain Spin
net, as the luckIess pirates crowded around
the lee gangway Of their prize, "when you
get them ere silver dollars, just LEI US
know, viii you?
Half dozen pistol shots was all the an
1 swer the Old man got, but they did him no
harm; and, crowding on sail, he made for
the vessel he had discovered, which lay
dead to lceward Of him, and which he now
made out to be a large ship. The clipper
cut through the water like dolphin, and
/ in short space Of time Spinnet lufed up
under the ships stern, and explained all

Of which the Chancellor expressed himself

Prince Bismarck, as not dangerous in

the lower classes, are not carried away by

their condition, but cooIly calculate the

in Germany and England. l do not say
that we regard the agitation as entirely de-
void Of danger, but we think there will be
little trouble with It. Their quarrels show
that they DO not know what they want, e1-

people opposed to this, so that there is no
prospect Of their achieving any success.

SPAIN AND CUBA.
spondent-Thev are said to be very
numerous in Spain, Prince.
Bismarck understand they are so in
the large cities. Spain is so peculiarly
constituted, and the people are so exoitable
and uneducated, that | will admit rhe In
ternationals may become very troublesome
there. This would be very unfortunate
FOR the kingdom. 1t is now struggling
with difficulties enough. Fierce faction
conflicts at home, and formidable rebel
lion in its principal colony. There is mis-
chief in that rebellion in Cuba great
dsal of mischief. You know we have often
been charged with endeayoring TO acquire
colonial possessions in the New World.
What happens in Cuba is sufficient to dis
courage such a policy. The tendency Of
the times is against the retention of such
colonies by European powers. 1t is hard
~ worth while to acquire them and, per-
haps to endeayor to retain them when YOU
have got them. Eventually they will be
sure to slip from your grasp. And one
thing is undeniable, continued the Prince,
as "a general thing, if they have any vitality
whatever they viii flourish far more after
achieving their independence than before

ADDITIONAL REMAINS
| should have stated. IN the proper
place, that hay should not get too dry be-
fore it is taken to the barn. Clover
should be taken in before il will crumble
much in handling, and the other grasses
as soon as they are dry enough. In dry,
hot weather hay may be loaded from the
cock If il will not do, little airing TO
dry off the sweat will probably be ali thet
that is needed. lf opened too much or
too long, it will be better to put it to-
gether again than to allow 1t to get too
dry.
Clover is often cut too late to make
good hay. There are good many dry
stems aud leaves; the latter crumble and
the fuzz rubs off the former. and beth to-
gether make the hay very dusty. This is
also very likely to be the case with the
second cutting of the same year, as it
grows aud ripens more uneven and will
contain more or less of such dead clover.
1t is nearly always more profitable to cut
for seed or to pasture this second growth
Cut the first crop early, when 1t will
make the best hay, and second growth
for seed may be obtained that will bring
more money fer the seed than than the
frs, cutting will for hay.-Country Gen

Babies, like dogs, are not found wild in
any country. They are always TO be met
with in the vicinity of mankind. They
are usually the companions of women. In
savage countries, when the men are out
hunting tigers with their horses md dogs
the women amuse themselves with feed
ing babies, and washing scalpa, and drying
beef in the sun; in civilized countries.
when the men are out shooting pigeons or
hunting hares with their dogs, the women
look at babies. and sit down until their
hair grows down to their feet, put on tight
dresses, and learn the names of their child.
ren, il they have time after coming in
from seeing their friends The most sim
gular thing about babies is that each one
is larger and finer than any one which has
ever been seen before. The first thing a
woman does when she takes baby iu her
hands is to hold it at arms length and say
''Oh dear !" or L" Oh, my goodness !" or
some other powerful words. "What a fine
little fellow, and only seven months old,
too! Why, Mrs. So and SOS baby is ten
months, and this little fellow is twice his
weight Upon my word, Mrs. So-and-so,
have seen many baby, but this one is
by far the finest" Mrs. So-and-so smiles
and takes the baby and shows how it can
nearly stand when it is held up under the
arms and has its back against the leg of
sofa. A man once told me that men we're
descended from babies. What Mr.. Dar-
win said about monkeys was bad enough,
but this is really carrying matters too far.
