Two Kinds of Courage.

Not many years since the good ship
Ponto sailed from Boston, bound to
Sumatra. She was commanded by Capt.
Isaac Jacobs, Il good seaman and natur-
ally good hearted man but in his long
career beneath the trident of Neptune
he had imbibed many of those false
ideas prevalent among seamen, and he
had came to look upon the sailors life
as one which necessarily did away with
those finer and warmer traits of charac-
ter that mark the humane and generous
landsman. In this wise Isaac Jacobs
sometimes lost sight of true merit where
it actually existed.
Among the crew of the POnto, on her
present voyage, was Il young man nam
ed Caleb Baker. He had shipped only
three days before the ship sailed. He
was slender framed man, with Il fair,
prepOssessing cOuntenance, light blue
eyes and light brown hair. Though
light in his build, he was yet well stock
ed with muscle, and his motions were
quick and energetic. His appearance
was calculated to predispose beholders
in his favor.
One day, shortly after the ship had
left port, as Baker was busy about some
matters of his own in one of the gang
ways, one of the men, a rough, uncOuth
fellow, by the name of BunktOn, came
along and gave the clothes bag of Baker
kick out of his way, thereby scattering
number of things about the deck.
81 wish you'd be careful" said Baker,
as he moved to gather up his things
"Then keep your things out O my
way" gruffiy returned Bunkton.
'They were not in your way"
"Do you mean to tell me l lie ~
81 said my things were not in your
way"
"And l say they were. Now don't you
dispute me again"
Every well have it your own way,n
calmly returned Baker, as he drew his
bag closer in toward the bulwarlls.
''And don't you be impudent, nei-
ther," prOvokingly added Bunkton.
"Look ye, Bunkton, if you've any
business of your own, you'd better mind
it."
'Eh, lubberq I'll show We my busi-
ness. Take that !"
AS Bunkton spoke, he struck the
young man upon the face. The crew
mad most of them gathered about the
place, and arrangements were. quickly
made for a fight.
''Just come forward--come forward,

A Lottery Romance.

An Italian gentleman with a nice lit
tie income had nice little servant girl
who said to him one morning 80, if You
please, won't yOu give me three francs
to buy Il lottery ticket with dreamed
last night that No Al IA was going to
draw the capital prize, and | want t.
buy that number"
He gave the girl three francs, and,
next day, Oh happening to look at the
report of the drawing, saw that No. Al,
IA had drawn the capital prize of 5lS,-
652.S5 lire, or to speak more accurately,
100000.
Returning quietly to the house he
concealed his emotion and said to the
servant girl, "SuSan. | have long oh
served with appreciation your piety,
beauty, modesty, and skill in the art OF
cookery and other good qualities calcu-
lated to adorn the highest station. Be
mine. Let me lead you to the hymeneal
altar. No delay. Just as you are

virgin.

around the block to the only friar's cell,
where we shall be made one"
In few minutes the bride-elect re-
turned clad in red shawl, with a
black velvet bonnet trimmed with sun
flowers and Victoria regia. In few
minutes more the ceremony had been
performed, and the twain were one.
They returned to the house, where the
husband carelessly took up the paper
and said with a well counterfeited start
of surprise.
Darling, everything is bright for us
upon our wedding-day. You remember

ed about and | gave You three francs to

An Exciting Ride.

Not long since il party of tourisrS fish
ing on Lake Cupsuptic Zone of the Um-
bagOg chain of lakes) captured large
moose after most exciting chase
The party consisted of Mr. Lewis, his
son and two guides, named David
Haines and JOhn Haley; also two gen
tleman, named Chase and Sargent, with
whom was Il young man, well known
around there as trapper and guide,
Fred G.. Barker.
The party had gone on the lake III
three boats to fish for trout. HaineS and
the elder Mr.. Weston were in one boat,
young Weston was with Haley in anoth-
er, while Fred and Mr.. Chase and Mr..
Sargent were in the third boat.
1t was a fine, cool morning. The lake
lay black and still. Keeping as quiet as
they could, they were having fair sport,
when Mr.. Sargent's attention was at
tracted to what looked like the blanched
roots of pine stump, floating along at
no great distance.
"What is that ~ he asked.
IA moose big buck moose ~ were
the almost simultaneous exclamations
from the whole party.
"Where could he have come from 2"
Then came scramble. Lines were
hauled in, rods were shipped, and the
guns were seized.
But a voice cried, "Don't fire; it's
against the law Let's catch him ~
Every paddle was at once brought
into requisition. Meantime the moose
which had probably been taking "a
morning swim to free himself from flies
took alarm at the hubbub, and struck
off for the shore.
1t was an eager race now. The pur-
suers gained, and were close upon the
moose, when his feet touched bottom.
With mighty splashing, shake and a
snort, he dashed into the woods.
There was Il bend in the shore, how
ever, that they could take advantage of
to head the moose off and drive him into
the water again at certain point.
"Head him !" was the cry. ''Head him
off at the foot of the coven
They all leaped from the boats and
ran pell-mell through the woods.
The moose could be heard crashing
through the woods. Stimulated by the
prospect of heading him, and by the
fresh morning all, the men fairly aston
ished themselves with their own run
ming.
Over logs, through brush and bushes,
across bog-hOles and sloughs,-on they
scrambled.
They reached the foot of the cove
ahead of the moose, and cut him off on
the forest side.
To drive him into the lake again they
set up chorus of shouts and unearthly
VellS until the moor moose no douht
thought that pandemonium had broken
loose. He dashed back and forth along
the wooded shore.
At length, hearing his pursuers clos
ing in about him, he took to the lake
again, and struck out with tremendous
splashing.
"There he goes! He's swimming for
the other shore To the boats again ~

the trial." cried clear, strong voice,
which was at once recognized as Caleb
Bakers.
sit will be sure DEATH" said Jacobs.
''Then let it be So" returned Caleb.
"If | succeed, the rest of you may be
saved; but now we are all in danger.
Port the helm and | will go.n
Caleb took the axe from the miZzen-
mast, and soon his form was lost in the
darkness, as he moved towards the star
board rigging. The helm was put
a port, and the ship gradually gave her
starbOard side to the gale. Soon the blow
of an axe was asheard--then another--and
another. The ship heaved heavily over
- then another blow was heard. There
was fearful straining and cracking
and then the crash. The heavy topmast
had gone clear over the side. Fragments
of the trestle and crOsstlees came rat
tling upon the deck, but all eyes were
strained painfully towards the mast
head. The dim outlines of the heroic
man could be seen safely hanging by
the mizzen topmaSt stay.
The ship was got once more before
the wind, and ere long Baker came
safely to the deck. He staggered aft to
the pinnacle, and there he sank, faint
ing and bruised, upon the deck but he
was quickly conveyed to the cabin, and
his wants were all met.
| Caleb'S bruises were none of them
bad, and in II few days he was again al
his duty. The men eyed him anXiously
and they seemed uneasy as they mel
his smiles. The captain, too, changed
color when he met the kind, noble l0ok
of the young man, but he soon overcamt
the false pride that actuated him, anC
stepping to the noble fellows side, ht
took him by the hand.
'Caleb," said he, "if | have done
wrong, freely ask you to forgive me
| have called you Il coward, but l did no
know you"
"Think no more of it," said Caleb
with ii beaming eye. 81 once prOmiset
to one whom | loved better than life
my mother-that | would never do

ashamed"
BunktOn pressed forward. "Caleb,
he said, seizing the hand of the yOun,
man in his hard fist, 'you must forgiv
me for what's passed. Well be friend
after this"
''Bless yOu, Bunkton, and friends w
will be-" returned Caleb.
YES" added Bunkton, IAN if yo
won't fight for yourself, I'll fight TO
