A SAILORS STORY.

At my return from my first voyage
whaling, my mother made me stay home,
evenings, and spin yarns about "furrin
parts" when wanted to be out sparkin';
and out of revenge, used to tell her
some pretty tough stories. | told her
once, when we were out in the Indian
Ocean, the weather became foul and we
didn't see the sun for twenty days. We
lost our reckoning, but kept sailing along,
till, finally, we made land. The captain
couldn't tell what land it was, but thought
itmight be Sugar Island, and sure enough
it was a mountain of pure sugar
We landed and took in good supply.
At the foot of the mountain, we saw what
we took to be a small lake, but on APP
preaching it, found it was a river of hon
:, ey flowing out from the base of this
mountainl We had nothing but oil casks
aboard, or we should have brought car
go home instead of whale oil. We got
entirely out of meat, and don't know
what we should have done if it had not
been for the flying fish; they would fly
against the sails and drop on deck, and
we salted fifty barrels, which lasted the
whole voyage. Mother could not quite
stand that yarn and accused me of max
ingit upl
"Well," l said, eff you don't believe
that, l will tell you what did see. We
were crossing the Red Sea, when heavy
storm came on and we were obliged to
anchor for the night. The next morning
being clear and pleasant, all hands were
called to help heave up the anchor; but il
wouldn't heave worth cent. We thought
it had got caught under rock. Finally
the captain, who weighed 240 pounds
added his weight to the capstan, and VIZ
started it. Now, mother, when that an,
chor came above water, what do you sup,
pose was in the fue?"
well, l don't know, my son; what wai
it?"
"Why, it was large, old-fashioneC
wheel, and the captain said at once it wa
one of Pharaoh's chariot wheels"
"Well, my son." says the old lady, 81
can believe that, for we read of these
things in, the Bible. But don't tell me
any more about flying fish,"

N1RR4GE.

Voltaire says 'sThe more married nlen
you have, the fewer crimes there will be.
Marriage renders man more virtuops
and wise. An unmarried man is but
half perfect being and it requires the
other half to make things right; and it
cannot be expected that in this imper-
feet state he can keep a,stEaight course.
In nine cases out of ten, where married
men become drunkards, or where they
commit crimes against the peace of any
community, the foundation of the act
was laid while in a single state. or where
the wife is, as is sometimes the clse, an
unsuitable match. Marriage changes
the current Of a mans feelings, and
gives him centre for his thoughts, his
feelings and his acts. Here is a home
for the entire man, and the interest Of
his better half keeps him from erratic
courses, and from falling into a thousand
temptations to which he would otherwise
be exposed. Therefore, the friend Of
marriage Is friend to- society and 70 his
country"

RESLSTING WE EEIL ONE.

At a camp meeting, not long ago, a man
clad in thin linen suit, seated himself
on one of the fiekety benches by fat
man who occupied full one-third of the
concern. ,. rs, d. lI- r
When the services ended the fat man
arose, and the gentleman in thin linen
suddenly .began twisting about in sur
prising manner, while his countenanee
was significant of mortal anguish.
His actions attracted the atteation Of
some of thelbrethren, and one of them,
a solemn-visaged individual, wins looked
as though he had Just swallowed pill,
approached the writhing body, and Lid
his hand on the mans shoulder, and
said. -,o- f.pe
Brother, if you are resisting the
promptings of the Evil One, strive man

member, Jacob wrestled with the angel,

agonized man; "but if Jacob had the seat
Of his trousers and a little of his meat
caught in a condemned crack he wouldn't
feel like raslin' with an angel, or any

JUDGE FLETCHER.

Mr.. Fletcher, when young man, boar
ded i'm the Old Exchange Coffee House.
without much consideration, he had fall
en- in with the drinking fashions of the
day so far as to have glass Of spirits and
water brought TO his room every night to
be taken ongoing to bed as a might cap"
One night an unusual press Of company
prevented the bar-keeper from carrying
FletohePs usual night dram. The Es-
auire didn't regard it as quite the thing
for him to go to the bar and get his grog,
and so he went to bed without his might
cap" But to sleep he could not. All
night long he tumbled about for lack Of
his accustomed drink, and AZ he did so,
his active and discriminating mind work
ed most diligently. The fruit of his re-
fections appeared next morning, when
on getting up weary and worn by his
hard and restless night, Mr.. Fletcher
went to to the bar-keeper;
"Mr. -, you didn't bring up my BRAN
dy and water last night, and as u conse-
quenoe slept little oNnoneall night
The bar-keeper was very sorry. The
neglect should not occur again.
"Not so" rejoined Mr.. Fletcher. "Ney-
er another drop of liquor unless | order
it. If it comes to this, that can't sleep
without a tumbler of toddy, it is high
time that stopped drinking, and broke
up the dangerous habit" ..
From that day Mr. Fletcher became a
thorough-going temperance man.
The above anedOte is worthy the atten-
ton of all young men. Habit has an un-
accountable power over us. In many
cases it gets entire control, and every
young man should stop before he becomes
a slave to habits, particularly habits
which are sure to ruin us.-Cdnddian Pa.

THE OLD NAN IN THE WOOD.

Thore was an old man who lived in the wood,
A you shall plainly see;
He thought he could do more work in one day
Than his wife could do In three,
With all my heart the old woman said,
'slf you VIII so allow,
You shall stay at home to-day,
And Ill go follow the plOw,
and you must milk the Tiny COW.
Lot she should go adry;
And you must iced the little pigs
That are within the sty.
"And you must watch the speckled hen.
Lost she should go astray
NOT forgetting the spool Of yarn
That spin every day"
The old woman took her stick In her hand,
And went 10 follow the plow;
The old man put the pail ON his head
And went TO milk the COW.
But Tiny she WINGED, and Tiny she alnchod,
And Tiny she tossed her nose.
And Tiny gave him kick ON his shin,
TIL the blood ran down 70 his toes,
And "Ho, TinyP' and 40. TinyP'
And pretty little cow stand still;
And II ever milk you again, he said
1T shall be against my will"
And then he went to feed the pigs
That were within the sty;
He knocked his nose against the shed,
And made the blood 10 fly,
And then he watched the speckled hen,
Lest she should go astray,
But he quite forgot the spool Of yarn
That his wife spun every day.
And when the old woman came home at night
He said he could plainly see
That his wife could do more work In a day
Than he could do In three.
And when he saw how well she ploughed
And made the furrows even
He said his wife could do more work In day
Than he could do In seven.

ALL 4 MISTAKE.

twas only two days ago Jones was
iniudiciously full. Being painfully
aware of his inebriety, he endeavored to
conceal it from the public by buttoning
his coat up very closely, ilnparting an
abnormal stiffness to his knees, and
tripping over his own heels. He stalked
up to a street car, walked briskly in
just as the horses started iorward-and
instantly tumbled out backward without
unbending muscle. Straightway he
recovered the upright, splashed with
mud, and re-entered, seating himself
beside an acquaintance, making no sign
of his mishap. Presently he turned to
this individual and queried:
"Khshn2"
HNo."
He considered a moment. and then
asked:
"Ofiesrack2"
HNo."
More reAection-sleepily, then:
"Runoverprespice2"

HAot at all.
He took this piece of information into
his intellectual NAV, and digesting it
concluded that he must be very drunk
1indeed. Anxious to cover up the dis
graceful fact, and turn the matter off re-
spectably, he shortly turned again with
Che bland observation: ii
"Well, if I'd anone that, wouldn't
got out"
He blinked off into an unconscious
state in a little while, then "wOlke up"
with his eyes very wide open, to show
that he had only been thinking. He
rode on about mile beyond his street,
and was finally taken home in hack.

Our readers who will visit the fair
grounds to-day should not fail to see the
many specimens of mechanical industries
there represented Among them, will be
found display from one of the manufac-
lures of our state, and one that has as wide
a reputation and contributed us much to
the advantage aud profit of Vermont farm
ers as any other one in the limits of Yer
mont. We refer to the exhibition OF
Horse Powers from the celebrated manu-
factory of A, w. Gray & Sons, of Middle
town. For years these machines have been
in competition with Others of the same
kind at town, county, state, and even at
the New England fairs, and have always
borne off the palm, and to-day they stand
without rival and occupy the first posi-
ton among grain threshing, wood saving
machines, etc., etc., Of our country.
AT the united fairs of the Rhode Islant
State Agricultural Society, and the New
England society held at Providence, r. /.
