Whaling is likely this season to prove
a profitable speculation, in consequence
of the price of whalebone, which has
now reached a very high tigure-up-
wards of E2,200 sterling per ton. At
one time ''bone" was disregarded, and
scarcely afforded ship-room, because of
there being no demand for it. Now, as
may be supposed, it is a highly priced
product of the whale, and is found in
the mouths Of some of the cataceans of
the high northern ATTITUDES. 1t would
appear that the Greenland whalcrs'
are now extending their sphere of cap
ture. Seals they have been in the
habit of killing for number of years;
but at present all seems fish that comes
within killing distance; and they bring
home Oil from number of the minor
monsters of the deep which in the days
of,whale fishery would have been left
unmolested. The right whale hav-
ing been actively hunted for period
of over $50 years, is now evidently be-
coming scarce; hence the new depart
ure. The yield of bone is comparatively
small in each animal; it may be put
down as being, on the average, about
eight and half pounds weight to each
barrel of oil. The South Sea or sperm
acct whale does not yield "bone, :"
but in its head is contained the valuable
product, spermaceti, and one whale will
sometimes have as much as a ton of
this material. Some most fortunate
voyages are occasionally made, but, as
a rule, whale-tishing Is q lottery.-St.

And she has struggled on alone,

She cared for me with love her own:
.By love was all erased.
One night | staggered home in glee;
What sounds fell ON my ear?
heard my WIFE in prayer for me;
Her voice rose loud AMI clear;
Oh, save my husbands savew she cried.
Oh, make him rs before.
Ny children bread have been denied;
They beg from door to door.
And when their little forms | see,
Their hollow. sunken eyes,
IT'S worse than all he puts on me-
Their walls, their woes and cries"
This is the reason, Tom you see
Why will drink no more.

No more to grieve my Mary'S heart,
No more to cause her pain;
From strong drink then and there to part
Nor ever drink again.
