the Western Territories. The man VINO
brings You pitcher of water, or har-
nesses your horse, puts on a familiar
swagger, as if to show that he is only
doing snch mental work temporarily,
and considers himself just as good as

the new guest with a patronizing air and
asked if he were hungry. The guest
replied that he was. "I'm glad of it."

Onr party stopped at wayside inn
one day. There was a hamlet of three
or four houses on creek. The place
seemed deserted, but the hating of s.
team before the log building where re-
freshments were dispensed rallied the
whole population. One man appeared
from behind q barn, another from a
field, third from gulch in fact, they
seemed to rise up out of the ground /;
the prospect of treat, however remote,
where liquor istwenty five cents drink,
never fails to gather a crowd in this
thirsty region. One of the party fell
into conversation with man who proved
to be doctor. A rough fellow, wear
ing leather riding breeches and an i'm
mense dirt colored felt hat, took seat
on the bar near by and listened
intently to the talk. 81 suppose your
practice here must be largely eleemos-
ynary," said the traveller to the physi-
clan. "Hell stranger" interrupted
the cowboy, "that's good word.

Apropos of frontier manners is an
incident which can be located, as well as
anywhere, at Kurtzville, log town of
seventeen saloons, one store and one
hotel. A New York gentleman got out
of the stage coach, and, entering one of
the saloons, asked politely for little
sherry in a wine-glass. The bari keeper
glared at him for moment, then
reached for six shooter and pointing
it at the terrified traveller shouted.
Now, l tell you, tender-foot, you take
whisky. You take it in lineup. and
you like it. J" The stranger took the
whisky i'll the lineup, asserted that it
was the best he ever drank, and made
haste to get back 10 the coach.-E. Y.

Macaulay's father, Zachery Macaulay,
was a prodigy of disinterestedness and
self-sacrifice; man of austere piety
who may be said to have saved his own
soul by his unceasing efforts to save the
souls Of others, and who's did his work in
life with the ever-present feeling that
the eye of his Maker was upon him.
- He was as sparing of fine words as he
was lavish of good deeds; and in after
life he sometimes exclaimed, when some
great emergency of a religious of phil
anthropic enterprise pressed on his
conscience for efforts beyond his power:
"Oh if [ only had my sons power of
speechi"
Yet in the company of such men as
Wilberforce, Clarkson, Stephen and
Thornton his mere presence was an in
spiration, and the conversation always
had reference to the opinions and char
acter of him who was the only silent
person in the room.
The piety of his wife was of less
severe strain, being blended with her
feminine softness and tenderness of
heart and there is something indie
scribably affecting in letter she wrote
to her son at school In it she tells him
that the first time she saw his dear face,
she repeated this stanza from the cradle
hymn of Watts:
;a Mayst thou live to know and fear Him,
Trust and love Him all thy days;
Then go dwell forever near Him,
See His face and sing His praise.
{ The ideals of parents are seeds that
spring up, blossom and bear fruit in
their children. This is especially the
case with the ideals of mothers; their
sons commonly fulfill their desires and
prayers. This is largely true in the life
clifford Macaulay, which was one Of the
most useful of his times.

A Sea Captain's Revenge.

1t has often been said that there is no
despotism in the world equal to that
exercised by the Captain of vessel
when at sea. This, of course, does not
apply to yachts, for those are not regis
tered vessels, but sail under a license,
and the Captain of such a craft could
be discharged by the owner when in
midocean if for any reason the owner
found fault with his management! But.
with merchant vessels when once ont of
port the authority of the Captain is, by
the laws of every nation, supreme It
IS necessary that this should be so. A
ship when at sea represents number
OF different interests; those who own the
vessel, those who own the cargo, those,
that insure the hull and it's contents,
and then last, but not least, are the
lives of crew and possibly of passengers.
There must be a responsible directing
head, armed with the legal power to
enforce any order he may think neces-
sary for the protection of these differ
ent interests, and this authority could
be lodged nowhere but with the Cap
tain His Judgment may be at fault,
but if, at the end of voyage he can
make oath that he considered what he
did to be necessary for the protection
of the interests intrusted to his keeping,
it is almost impossible to punish him
for his mistakes. An example of this
arbitrary power was given some years
ago by the Captain of merchant vessel
sailing from one of our Atlantic ports.
The ship was bound on voyage to the
west coast of South America, and her
owner invited one or two Of his friends
to go down the bay in her and return
on the pilot boat. When outside the
weather became somewhat threatening,
and the pilot boat was not Immediately
on hand. The Captain had long cher
,ished grudge against the owner and
saw in the situation an opportunity of
revenging himself. In spite of com
mands and then of appeals made by the
owner, his friends and the pilot, he put
his vessel upon her course and sailed
out to sea. His involuntary passengers
were, of course, In a wretched state of
mind, coming, as they did, wholly I'M
prepared for a voyage around Cape
Horn, and well aware that their rela-
tives and friends would have doubts as
to their existence. This led the owner
to resort to methods which led the Cap
tain to construe to be mutinous, and
hence he had the former placed in con-
fnement, while the entire party, with
the exception of the pilot, were treated
very much as if they had been common
sailors, so far as their food supply was
concerned. When the ship arrived at
her port of destination the Captain was
instantly dismissed; but that was all
the punishment that could be visited
upon him.
