Anything but Dirt in the Navy.

Did you notice that man walk over to
the curb and spit in the street2 I'll bet
he's been on shipboard. There a man s
got to use either the spit-kids or spit
over the side of the vessel into the
water. They'll stand anything but dirt
in the navy, you know. How is this for
a daily routine: When the bo's'n pipes
up all hands in the morning they turn
out, put up their hammocks. stow em
away in the MEETINGS, then sweep the
decks. Mess-cloths are spread, and after
breakfast the decks are swept down
again. AT II: 80 A. NJ. swcepers are
piped and then mess-cloths are laid for
dinner, after which she is swept fore and
aft once more. It's done twice more, be-
fore supper and after supper, making six
times day. You mustn't think they
sweep only. Not a day passes but That
the decks are either dry or wet holy
stoned. a holy-stone is big stone, fiat
and smooth on one side. The center of
long rope is made fast to it, and a
squad of men lay hold of opposite ends
and pull it backward and forward over
the decks, which have been first wet
down and sprinkled with sand.
In places that they can't reach, cor
ners, you know, they make men get
down on their knees with little hand
stones, called prayer books, and scrub
'em out. After this they bend the hose
to the pumps and wash the sand away.
Men follow with squillgees, arrange
ments shaped like hoe, with strip of
rubber tackled to the edge. They use
en- to rub the heaviest part of the water
off the decks. Next comes another de-
tail with swabs. They are like big hemp
horses tails, and are swung right and
left When the tibers get well saturated
the swab is rung and used over again.
Light, flat sheet-iron charcoal stoves, the
under side three feet square, are then
suspended by long rods to within about
a foot and half of the deck, and swung
backward and forward until the place I'M
derneath is pretty dry, when they shift
them to other hammock hooks and re-
peat this process. This is done three
times week, and dry holy-stoning
twice On such days the sweepers are
used five times. The decks are always
like the driven snow, and wouldn't soil a
cambria handkerchief at any time. Now
you can understand why sailor learns
to use the spit-kids-well, cuspidors-
look here, who's spinning this yarn?-

disappeared to reappear, moment later,
at the door,
''Miss Susie Laurie, by all that is
beautiful" cried Godfrey, and, tossing
the reins to Horace, he sprang out of the
vehicle, and in another moment was be-
side the young lady.
''Tie up the horse, Horny, and come
here" he said, a moment later. "Miss
Laurie is kind enough to promise us a
country tea"
81 don't know what you think of
Lottie," said their hostess, as she led
the young men into the pretty parlor;
'for the child is perfectly crazy. Aunt
Harriet felt uneaqual to the constant
gayety of watering place, this summer,
and she required some change of air. SO
we took this cottage to rusticate for a
few months 1t is Lottie's first season
of perfect freedom, and the child is
absolutely crazy upon all country mat
tiers. Seeing some of the farmers child
rem in the neighborhood barefoot, she
steals away and doffs her shoes and
stockings whenever she can escape obser-
walton. All here she comesl"
Such a quietlooking child, in dainty
shoes and stockings, with pure white
dress and demure face, stole in, that
Horace entered a laughing protest against
the Transformation; and the cause of the
stop before the gate was explained.
There was something-who can tell
what?-that made Susie Laurie not I'M
willing to see Horace Lees handsome
face again, and she consented to allow
Lottie to be painted Aunt Harriet, who
presided over the promised country tea,
was quite willing to agree to the arrange
ment, and an appointment for a sitting
the next day was made
1t took long time to get the sketches
to suit the young artist. Sometimes it
was too early, sometimes it was too late.
Often Lottie had escaped and was off in
the fields or woods; yet these mishaps
never tried the temper of the artist or
prevented his punctual appearance at the
appointed time. Long walks or drives
were made to look for the little wood
chopper, and as Horace felt the sisters
hand on his arm, or heard her sweet
voice in his ear, he would forget his
uncle, his picture, everything but the
lovely face upon which he gazed, and
the happiness it was to be near Susie
Laurie.
OH the old, old storyl Who can tell
all the why's and wherefores They met
they loved!
The picture was finished at last, and
placed in the Academy to draw forth
many praises and win the prize. Yet
even the renewal of his uncle's favor and
the warm concentrations of his friends
did not give Horace the thrill of delight
which he felt when Lottie put her arms
around his neck and said
" Susie says you're going to be my
brother, and I'm awful glad r'-Annie

A Russian colonel sold one of his
horses to merchant at very high price,
intimating at the same time that he was
very loath to part with it, the animal
being so capable and intelligent as ''only
to want a tongue in order to be perfect. !"
The merchants delight at his bargain,
however, was somewhat dashed by the
news brought him next day by his groom
that the horse was incapable of drinking
properly, having only half tongue. At
this fatal revelation of the colonel's real
meaning his victim at once laid the case
before magistrate; but the defendant
maintained, amid the uproarious laughter
of the entire court Including even the
presiding judge himselD, that he had
given his customer fair warning of the
defect, his words being that the horse
"only wanted a tongue to make him
perfect" and he appealed to the plain
tiff himself for confirmation of his
statement, which the latter, with extreme
reluctance eventually gave. The magis-
trate pronounced that nothing could be
done, and recommended that the affair
should be compromised.

STUDENTS FLOoRED.

A Lexington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal tells a good
story of old father " Raccoon John
Smith," who was noted for his sharpness
at repartee. He was frequently quizzed
in order to hear his replies. On one oc-
casion three students of Georgetown col
lege, KY, saw him coming at distance,
and arranged that they would walk about
twenty yards apart, and as they passed
him the first one was to say "Good morn
ing, Mr.. Abraham, " the second to call
him Mr.. Isaac" and the third "Mr.
Jacob" So the first called him "Mr
Abraham" and the old gentleman only
seemed little surprised that anybody
there should not know him. The second
one called him "Mr. Isaac" and the old
gentleman evidently suspected something
His familiarity with the Bible made him
anticipate what the third was going to
say, and he got ready for him. Good
morning, Mr. Jacob" said the third stu
dent. "Stop, young man" said the old
gentleman, 81 am neither Abraham, Isaac
nor Jacob; am Saul the son of Kish, in
search of my fathers asses, and behold, l
have found three of them"

Oh, LOvel

Oh, Lovel
Most sovereign powerl
By every tender token,
By every fond word spoken
By every hope and sigh.
The glancing of an eye,
The tell-tale blush,
The hectic flush,
Smiles, rhapsody, or tears,
Unspoken doubts or fears,
Unwritten songs to sunshine wed,
Celestial dreams by fancy fed,
From early morn to midnight hour,
Each day, each day,
Must betray,
And ever prove,
Oh, Love- alb mel
How much am in debt to theel
Oh, Lovel
here protest
By every bond and fetter
Pm an insolvent debtor,
With but thy revenue
To cancel debts long due.
Early and late
l liquidate
With Love what'er l owe
To either friend or foe;
With plying heart and willing hand
Responding unto each demand
With Loves accruing interest.
Life GIBBS, and yet
I'm in thy debt;
And, dying, prove,
oh, Love! ah me!
cannot get release from thee.
