THRILLING STORY.

a timid boy, about fourteen years of
age, hesitated to go aloft, but by the
captains orders, was forcibly put in
the main rigging, and then boat
swain's mate was commanded to lash
him like a dog until be learned to run
aloft. The poor fellows legs and arms
trembled, he grasped the shrouds, he
cried, he prayed the inhuman captain
for Gods sake to have mercy on him,
but all in vain. The boatswain's mate
was ordered to lay on harder and hard
er, regardless of the boys piercing
screams, which made even veteran sea-
me turr from the brutal scene in dis
gust. His clothes were rent from his
back, the blood followed the lash, and
still the tyrant roared out "Lay on,
boatswain's mattel"
With one wild scream he sprang
from under the lash, and bounded up
the futtock rigging like cat, passed
up the topmast and topgallant rigging
with undminished speed, Skinned the
unrattled royal rigging, and perched
himself like bird alongside of the pen
nant which streamed from the mast
head. Here he paused, looking fear

hands came up to see him-his cries
and cruel treatment had already enlist

Dangers That Threaten Young Mon.

Standard of the Cross.l
DR.. John Hall delivered, some time
ago, lecture on the ''PeriIs of the
Times" Among others things he
treats of dangers that threathen young
men as young men. He mentions four.
First, the danger of shallowness, which
arises from the hurry and hustle and
state ofintense activity in which we
live. Individual capacities are not
trained to their highest perfection. The
advice is given to young men that it
would be well for them TO be masters
of some one thing. The second dan
ger arises from a mistaken conception
of what success really is. Money has
come to be considered the ideal of sue
cess. And allied to this mistake is
false notion of gentility. 1t is said to
be the fact throughout New EngIandit it
is EXTREMITY difficult to pursuade young
men to become mechanics, farmers, or
laborers. The young men are filed
with the idea that they must 90 to the
large cities. This is an unhealthy con-
dition of things. All honest work is
honorable if done in the right spirit.
Another peril is caused by a GER
tain unsettledness in life. 1t is ex-
tremeIy easy in this country to pass
from one line of life to another. The
very thought in the minds of young
men that they can easily pass to
another line of work; if they become
dissatisfied with their present employ
ment, disinclines them to direct their
whole energies upon the work in hand.
DR.. Halls advice is: Choose slowly,
deliberately, with the best advice, and
perhaps later than young men are or
dinarily accustomed to do, and then,
when the occupation has been decided
upon, stick to it. Another danger
comes from the enervating influences
that surround young men. DR.. Hall
said he had not word to say against
true pleasures that weaken and unfit
men for stern, hard work. It is some
times that the reins are drawn toe
tight. But no one who had stood by
rs many death-beds as he had seer
would say that the reins could bt
I dra yn too tight.

NORTH AND SOUTH.
Gen. Joe Johnston's sensible Views.

Richmond Coz Washington Post
Late last evening representative of
the Post was accorded an interview by
Gen. Joseph E Johnston, who viii
represent the metropolitan district cf
Virginia in the next Congress. A
painful though not serious accident, re-
sulting in bruised knee, at present
confines the General to his modest
residence on GRACE street in the city
of Richmond; but, aside from this, his
more than three-score and ten years
have left him as strnight as an arrew
and as full of vitality as many a man
IF 30 years. There has been such a
ery already raised by the vindictive
Radicals of tbs terrible disasters to be
brought upon the country by solid
South, the views of Gen. Johnston,
who will naturally be a leader, viii
have an interest for the people Of all
parties.
"What is your opinion OF the atti-
tude that the Southern majority will
assume in shaping the policy of the
party?''
without any advice at all upon
the question, I will venture to say that
the attitude of the gentlemen from the
Southern States will be such as to dis
appoint the irreconcilabIes of the OPP
position, who have, l see, already be-
gun to array a solid North against n
solid South. We viii probably have
little to say in reply to Radicals of this
stamp. Our acts viii speak more en-
phatieally for us, Sectionalism was
killed last Tuesday, and long before
1880 the solid South and the solid
North viii be forgotten terms. The
people of the South have known for
thirteen years that the war is at an end,
but these long range Radicals and the
latter-day warriors cannot, seemingly,
be brought to realization of this fact.
The revival Of the charges that it Is
our settled policy to fasten the war debt
ofthe Confederacy upon the country is
absurb-contemptibly so-and it pass
es my comprehension how any intelli-
gent reader can receive such reckless
inventions with patience. The South
IS now as close q part of the Union as
/, is New England; Virginia has the same
interest in the general prosperity ofthe
country as Massachusetts and her rep
resentatives and the representatives of
the South will be forund to be as ac-
tive in support Of all measures tending
to the general good ofall sections cf
the country as the gentlemen from
Maine or Vermont"
In the closing moments Of the inter-
view the conversation turned upon the
probable course of the Southern dele
CATION regarding the Speakership;
and while Gen. Jshnston declined to
commit himself thus early, the tenor
of his remarks left the clear impression
that the sentiment Of the South would
be in favor of the election Of a North
ern Democrat The General said in
SO many words that that would be
the wisest course to follow,

DruRkards- the Ancients Punish
ed Them.

The offense OF drunkenness was a
source of great perplexity to the an
clients, who tried every possible way of
dealing with it. IF none succeeded,
probably it was because they did not
begin early enough, by intercepting
some Of the ways and means by which
the insidious vice is melted and pro
pagated. Severe treatment was often
tried to little effect. The Locrians,
under Zaleucus, made it a capital of
fence to drink wine, if it was not mix
ed with water; even an invalid was
not exempted from punishment except
by order # a physician. Pittacus, of
Mitylene, made a law that he who,
when drunk, committed any ofense,
should suffer double the punishment
which he would if sober; and Plato.
Aristotle and Plutarch applauded this
as the height of wisdom. The Roman
censors could expel Senator for be-
ing drunk and take away his horse.
Mohammed ordered drunllards to be
bastinadoed with eighty blows. Other
nations thought of limiting the guam
tity to be drunk at one time or one
sitting. The Egyptians put some limit
though what is not stated. The Spar
tans, also, had some limit. The Ara
bians fixed the quantity at twelve
glasses a man, but the size of the glass
was, unfortunately, not clearly defined
by the historians. The Anglo-Saxons
went no further than to order silver
nails to be fixed on the side of drink
ing cups, so that each might know the
proper measure. And it is said that
this was done by King Edgar after
noticing the drunken habits Of the
Danes. Lycurgus, of Thraea, went
TO the root of the matter by ordering
the vines to be cut down. And his
conduct was inflated in 705 by Ter
bulus, of Bulgaria The Suevi pro-
hibited wine to Ls imported. And
the Spartans tried to turn the vice into
contempt by Systematically making
their slaves drunk once a year, to show
their children how foolish and CON
temptible men looked in thac state
Drunkenness was deemed much more
vicious in some classes of persons than
in others. The ancient Indians held
it lawful 10 kin king when he was
drunk. The Athenians made it a cap
ital ofense for a magistrate to be
drunk; and Charlemagne initiated
this by a law chat Judges on the
bench and plaaders should do their
business fasting. The Carthagenians
prohibited m@ @gistrates, governors, sol
diers and servants from any drinking
The Scots, in the second century, made
| it capital oGense for magistrates to
be drunk; and Constantine IL, of
Scotland, SCI, extended like punish
ment to young people. Again some
laws have absolutely prohibited wine
from being drunk by women; the Mas
siIians 50 decreed. The Romans did
the same, and extended the prohibition
to young men under 80 or 45. And
the husband and the wife's relations
could scourge the wife for offending
and the husband himself might
scourge her to death.
