bio chill to creep over me. turned
my eyes away and met those OF the
harpooner. He had dropped his oar
and. with glossy eyes, was pointing his
quivering fingers straight backward.
Not drop of blood was in his bronzed
face. The others seeing him had also
dropped their oars and gazed, with hor-
ror on their faces, in the Same direction.
Instinctively I guessed the truth and
shut my eyes. But the nameless horror
was felt all tho same and I had to turn
about and face it. No need then to tell
me what it meant. Scarce fifty yards
away and nearing us with the speed of
railroad train. was the mighty whale.
Never had l seen or dreamed of any
thing so terrible. But there was little
time to look or act or think. In half
the time that it will take to read these
words the leviathan had shot past us,
the wash from his sides making the
boat rock as in surf. Had he then,
blinded with rage, missed his
mark? Ere 1 could look the
question at the men around, I saw
huge fuke darken the air beside the
boat. In the same instant wild cry
arose, as it descended on the gunwale.
1 saw the harpooner-he was married
only a fortnight ago-crushed, driven
down, with the half of the boat into
the seething waters. The terrible blow
threw the stern high into the air. 1
have recollection of being tossed aloft
as though fred from a catapult and
falling. falling straight down into the
mass of wreck and foam. Almost un-
consciously clutched at an oar. was
stunned almost and, for the moment,
blinded. Indeed, 1 was half uncon-
scious and all but drowned, but the in
stinct of life gave me strength. My
head was on level with the water. As
rose on the swell made out few
scattered pieces OF board. Not hu-
man being was in sight. The whale,
too, had disappeared. But even as l
looked, tho water few yards away was
disturbed, and in second the huge
monster arose. His head was toward
me. In the awful jaws I saw the
crunched fragments of boat. To my
fancy those horrible jaws dripped with
blood. OF course it was only fancy,
but there was no fancy in what saw
next. The monster described a long
circle, lashing the waves with his fukes.
Suddenly he paused. right before
me, perhaps ten yards away. As
he did so, he threw up torrent of
blood. The horrible jaws opened wide
and saw the cavernous throat yawn
before me. Years passed in that su-
preme moment. I could not cry out,
l could not move. Hardly could
think. I may have prayed, but I doubt
it. The awful, consuming terror
numbed all thought. My only idea, if
such it can be called, was a vague won
der as to whether it was the Pilgrim
House pie, or the yarn which Captain
Porgie had been telling me, of bow
when he once killed right whales calf,
up in Behring Sea, its mother had pur-
sued him four miles by the log and
compelled him and his crew to reost for
three days and nights IN the branches
of high tree while she kept sentry be-
low-or whether it was simple case of
ordinary nightmare. And to this mo-
ment l can't tell which. But Frank

Heavy Mutton Sheep Wanted.

The marked and very satisfactory
growth which has been made by the
export trade in American sheep this
year, says the american Stockman, war
rants the belief that England will be
in the future one of the best customers
the American stockmen will have for
the surplus Of his focks. It should be
borne in mind, however, that only the
best of mutton sheep are deemed
worthy of trip across the water and
that to get the full benefit of the new
demand the farmer must be prepared to
sell an article we'll worth a good price.
It is true that taking from the top of
the market in this country even linn
tied number of sheep will tend to lessen
the pressure on all other grades and so
raise the price, but there is no need for
resting content with this small part of
the benefit When little more care and
palnstaking will secure q much larger
part of the grain. We believe it will
90 with sheep as it has been with oar
cattle-the more England sees of them
the more she will want to see.
OF late the sheep market of Chicago
has been unusually bare of stock OF
good quality, so much SO that ship
ments to the East and to Europe have
ceased, although there are here buyers
who would be pleased to meet an op-
portunity to purchase any reasonable
number of really choice, heavy and
we'll fattened mutton sheep. That
there are such sheep in the country
from which Chicago receives her sup
plies of stock we know, and there is
something singular in the fact that SO
few are coming in.

A lawyer, entering the office of his
family physician, said, in hearse whis-
per: doctor, I've got such a cold
this morning that I can't speak the
truth" I'm glad it isn't anything
that will interfere with your business, ;"
responded the doctor, in tone of sym
pathy.
An old juuge of the New York Su-
preme Court, meeting friend in
neighboring village, exclaimed, Why!
what are you doing here?" "I'm at
work, trying to make an honest living"
was the reply. "Then you'll succeed, !"
said the judge. "for you'll have no
competition"
Don't waste your time clipping off
the branches" said woodman to his
son. "but lay your axe at the root of
the tree" And the young man went
out and laid his axe at the root of the
tree. like good and dutiful boy-and
then went a-fishing. Truly there is
nothing like flial obedience.

How to get along we'll r. exclaimed q
tacetious neighbor. Why, just get

man; "you might do it with some of
your Jokes"

Some of the newspapers are discussing
the prospect Of general coal famine,
or, what is nearly as disastrous, a price
for it 50 high as to preclude the posi-
blity of any one but the rich from
using it. Here, then, is chance for
the investment Of capital, and we adj
wise capitalists to come to this county
of Franklin and develop the resources OF
our mountains. There is coal enough
in the mountains of this county to sup
plv the world for.quitc a little season.
1t crops out everywhere, and you can
buy the land at from fifty cents to one
dollar per acre, and even less. Come
on with your money, for we are poor
people, comparatively, though thorough
" honest. And none of us are starving,
but we have no Jay Goulds, nor Van
derbilts, nor millionaircs. And ii
might be that in mining for the rich
coal hid away in our mountains that
YOU would come across valuable ORES
that would add to your fortune. And
then we have marble that is susceptible
of polish equal to the best of Italian.
Come on with your idle capital and put
it to work.

Merry Christmas What memories
are awakened at the thought--what rec
objections, like flowers, though fading,
still emit IL rare and sweet perfume?
Tonight, (Monday,) as we sit in our
easy chair enjoying the comforts Of
pleasant room and cheerful fire, in
digging the luxury of II quiet smoke, we
get to dreaming Of the past. From
mcmory's store-house we recall many a
ghost Of the long past-some, alas !!
wear an aspect Of sorrow and sadness,
because they are the spirits Of duties
neglected, opportunities sighted, wrongs
committed or labors unperformed. 9th
ers, again, are more cheerful, and wear
Il more benign CONFERENCE.-The we
know to be obligations more or less well
performed. Without the beautiful
snow lies cold and white, II fit winding
sheet for the dying year. Within all is
warmth and comfort. The smoke from
our pipe, as it is waited upward, takes
many fantastic shape, and from out
the smoke-wreathes we see another
ghost Of a merry, jolly mien. This we
know to be the ghost Of Christmas past.
1t leads us back to u time long past,
when we were child-a boy--a romp-
ing, registering boy. As memory revcrts
to that period we enjoy afresh the mirth
and fun Of the "Chrstm0s past" We
see now the big Christmas fire, made Of
hickory-logs-quite different to the
wood-hrcs we have noW-a-days-thc
time Christmas-cve night-in front Il
large basket Of rosy-checked apples, Il
full supply of hickory-nuts and hazel
nuts, with family, old and young, form
ing Sem-circle about them. Behind
is the table, laden with "goodics" sufi-
cicnt to tempt the appetite Of any child
to indulge to rcplction. At 9 o'clock we
are told that it is time for "chaps" to
prepare for
-" the fur-wrappcd Saint Of our carly dreams,
The givcr OF endless Uvs,
Who drives through the night in reindeer
ocdgc,
Packed full to the brim with toys"-
by going to sleep. Then it was that II
boy would begin to feel jealous Of the
more capacious stocking Of his sister.
How he wished that for the noncc he
could be Il girl (Iou must know that
boys didn't wear long-cgged stockings
then like girls.) When morning came
what scramble there would be to see
what gifts were got and to display our
treasures. o, what joy, what frolic,
what fun! Have we lost the inspira-
ton of the occasion? All, no! If we
are growing old and feel the weight Of
many cares pressing heavily upon us,
still we feel the mirthtulncss Of the oc
casion, and, in watching the happiness
Of others, live over again the joys Of the
past. Yes, we wish uU u merry, merry
Christmas-and especially the little
folks. Enjoy it, children, while you
may, and to its fullest extent, but do
not forget the sacrcdness Of the occa-
sion, thinking that it is only for fun and
trolic that it was instituted. We, on
this festive occasion, commemorate the
birth Of our Saviour eighteen hundred
and eighty years ago. We should feel
glad, we should rejoice, but with feel
ing of grateful reverence. Yes, let the
Christmas bells chime forth the sweet
music, and let all the earth, with one
loud acclaim, shout, "a merry Christ
mas"
