JVilliam Morgan.

The story of the disappearance OF
William Morgan who was supposed by
many, to have been killed 10y the Free
masons. having been revived by the
letter OF Mr. Weed, the st. Paul River

though som ewhat doubtful story. con

An Encounter with the Sea-Serpent.

which arrived at Portland Friday, brings
story that corroborates all that he's been
told in reference to the existence OF tho
sea serpent.
On Sunday; the 22d .inst., when the
schoonerlwas ten miles south, southwest
OF Matinicus, aud moving under three
knot breeze. the fin of fish was seen
about 500 yards off. The crew supposed
it was,,a swordfish, when the man at the
mast. head sung ont that the creature was
eleyating lts head and that It was no
swordtish land nothing like any he had
ever seen. OF course the crew gathered
on every available place where view
could be obtained. and they saw long
neck gradually projected above the water,
surmounted with q head that appeared 10
he cross between an cells and whales,
TIE neck for about ten ieet from the
head was as big round as large barrel,
and then the fin begun.
Determined to see the fellow clear, the
steersman put up his helm, and the
sch, oner made Tor the monster. The
craft struck him ait OF the in with
slight shock. No sooner had the sehoon.

of dash, the fellow dove and, as he did
so. he brought his tail round with
whisk the end OF It striking the stern OF
the schooner with slap that made the
craft shiver and set the crockery spinning
in the pantry. 1t was evidently only
mere touch that the vessel received,
which showed what would have happen
ed 10 her II the fish had obtained fair
blow. Alter the serpent dove nothing
more was seen OF him although the ves-
sci cruised some time in that vicinity.
The crew say if they only had some har-
poons or lances, they should have had a
good opportunity to catch this queer fish.

RIGHTED 1T LAST.
a Romance In Real Life.

a New York letter writer tells the
following story of q mistake which was
rectiiied after many days:
While in Victor, Ontario County, n.
/ Y. recently. the writer learned the par
| ticulars OF romance in real life which
rivals the most ingenious of the fancy.
The principals, Calvin Bates and Nancy
Hill. were born something like sixty
years ago, somewhere-the exact place
is unimporlant-i Vermont. They were
very near of an age, were the children OF
neighbors, and spent much of their youth
in each Others company, mutually divid.
ing their joys and sorrows. as well as
their bread and butter and sugar. But
they could not tarry as children if they
would. Calvin grew into strong. limDed
young man, with a downy upper lip and
deep bass voice, and Nancy rounded
into comoly maiden. the pride OF her
parents and the admiration of the village
beaux. Calvin loved her, Of course had
he not always loved her? And Nancy
was morally sure that none of the young
men of her acquaintance were more
worthy of her affection than Calvin, and
so they were engaged. and were to be
married as soon as enough money could
be made to give them little start in lie.
1t did seem, for once. that the course oil
true love would run smoothly.
The openings for young men to get
ahead in the world in Vermont, at least

would have been knocked out OF this

The Sale of Daughters.

The public marts tor the sale of young
ladies are now in full operation. 1t Is
the height of the season at fashionable
watering places. Hither worldy-minded,
ambitious, scheming women repair with
their marriageable daughters, in pursuit
OF what are deemed "eligible" matches
that is to say, matches in which, for the
sake OF social or pecuniary advantages,
the hand is given unaccompanied oy tRss
heart. 1t is in vain to appeal to such
women. The motherly instinct appears
To be eradicated from their nature. Aud
vet they are engaged in an undertaking
but little elevated above The slave mart.
They are barterng away the whole future
of the lives OF their own children, For
these forced marriages, springing. not
from love in the heart, but from base
business calculations, are sure to end In
misery.-New York Ledger.
