Ophy. Who gives us quarter unless 1t be to
 hang us? But to continue: we did hand
 somely, but were long time about it, and
 after careening and filling up with water 'twixt San Carlos and Chiloe we set sail for
 the Antilles. Like your brig, we were blown south. The weather was ferocious. Gale after gale thundered down upon us, forcing
 us to fly before it. We lost all reckoning of our position; for days, for weeks, and sky were enveloped in clouds of snow, in the heart of which drove our frozen schooner.
 We were none of us of nationality fit to en-
 counter these regions; we carried most of us
 the curly hair of the sun, the chocolate cheek
 of the burning zone, and the ice chained the
 crew, crouching like Lascars, below. We | swept past many vast icebergs, which would leap on sudden out of the white whirl of
 thickness, often so close aboard that the re-
 coil of the surge striking against the mass l would flood our decks. At all moments of the day and night we were prepared to feel
 the shock of the vessel crushing her bows
 against one of those stupendous hills The
 cabin resounded with Salves and Ayes, with invocations to the saints, promises, curses,
 and litanies. The cold does not make men of the Spaniards, who are but indifferent sea-
 men ill temperate climes: and we were chiefly Spaniards, with consciences as red as your English flag"
 He grinned, emptied the pannikin, and stretched his hands to the fire to warm them.
 "One morning, the weather having cleared
 somewhat, we found ourselves surrounded by ice. A great chain foated ahead of us ex-
 tending far into the south. The gale blew
 dead on to this coast; we durst not haul the
 schooner to the wtnd, and our only chance lay in discovering some bay where we might find shelter. Such bay it was my good l luck to spy, lying directly in line with the ships head. It was formed of a great steep of ice jutting long way slantingly into the sea, the width between the point and the | main being about third of a mile. seized | the helm, and shouted to the men to hoist | the head of the mainsail that she might round 1 to when put the helm down. But the fel- l lows were in panic terror, and stood gaping | at what they regarded as their doom, calling l upon the Virgin and all the saints for help and mercy. Into this bay did we rush on l top of huge sea, Trentanove and the cap

CHAPTER XVI.
HEAR OF A GREAT TREASURE.

HEAR OF A GREAT TREASURE.
 I lighted a pipe, and sat pondering his story little while. There was no doubt he had given me the exact truth SO far as his relation of it went. As it was certain then that the Boca del Dragon las she was called) had been fixed in the ice for hard upon fifty years, the conclusion formed was that she had been blown by some hundreds of leagues farther south than the point to which the Laughing Mary had been driven; that this ice in which she was entangled was not then drifting northward, but was in the grasp of some polar current that trended it south easterly; that in due course it was carried to the antarctic main of ice, where it lay con- pacted; after which, through stress of weather or by the agency of a particular temperature, great mass of it broke away and started on that northward course which bergs of all magnitude take when they are ruptured from the frozen continent.
 Now that I had companion should be able to escape from this horrid situation? He had spoken of chests of silver. Where was the treasure-in the run? There might be booty enough in the hold to make great man, a fine gentleman, of me, ashore. It would be noble ending to an amazing ad- venture to come off with as much money as would render me independent for life, and o1ldUlo 1llc UO Uulu lily OdCk lOl0NOI upOl Uue hardest calling to which the destiny of man can wed him.
 Of such were the fancies which hurried through my mind.
 wished to see how the schooner lay, and what change had befallen the ice in the night, and went en deck It was blowing a whole gale of wind from the northwest The sea was swelling very furiously, and could divine it's tempestuous character by clouds of spray which spread like volumes of steam under the sullen dusky heavens high over the mastheads. The schooner lay with list of about 15 degS., and her bows high cooked. I looked over the stern and saw that the ice had sunk there, and that there were twenty great rents and yawning seams where had before noticed but one. A vast block of ice had fallen on the starboard side and lay so close on the quarter that l could have sprung on to it. No other marked changes were observable.
 was about to go below again, when my eye was taken by the two figures lying upon the deck. No dead bodies ever looked more dead; but after the wondrous restoration oi the Frenchman could not view their forms without fancying that they were but as he had been, and that if they were carried to the furnace, and treated with brandy and rub 1 bing and the like, they might be brought to- l Full of thoughts concerning them stepped l into the cabin, and going to the cook room found Tassard still heavily sleeping The coal in the corner was low, and as it wanted l an hour of dinner time took the lantern and

 told him.
 'My berth is the third" said he. 1T wish to smoke, and will fetch my pipe"
 He took the lantern and went aft, acting asif he had left that berth an hour ago, and understood in the face Of this ready recur- renee of his memory how impossible it would be ever to make him believe he had been practically lifeless since the year 1753. When he returned he had on hairy cap, with large covers for the ears, and big flap behind that fell to below his collar, and was almost as long as his hair. He produced a pipe of the Dutch pattern, with bowl carved into deaths head, and great enough to hold a cake of ta- bacco. The skull might have been child's for size, and though it was dyed with tobacco juice, and the top blackened with the live coals which had been held to it, it was SC finely carved that it looked very ghastly and terribly realm his hand as he sat pulling at it.

KEEP FARM RECORDS. farmer is to great extent a manufacturer, and ought to keep record of his operations. This is the key to success in any business
 But the soil tiller should attend to some other matters in connection with his &C., counts. A map of his farm, with each field numbered, and it's size, quality of soil, etc., specified, will be great aid in keep ing track of the years transactions. How many farmers have such a guide and con- venience And how many kept such mem- oranda in 1887 as will enable them to tell the expense of each crop grown And how about the domestic animals If you keep COWS, what have they paid you per head in the aggregate And what of the sheep, swine, and even the chickens How much did each contribute to your income, and which was the most profitable? ? Those who can answer these pertinent questions must be well advised in regard to their financial position, and need no admonition !; but we fear many are utterly unable to give any detailed account of their farming opera tions, or whether the balance is on the right or wrong side of the ledger. It is needless to say that such management would soon wreck almost any commercial enterprise, and hence the frequent com rlaint that farming don't pay" is not sur prising. What we write is intended to be suggestive rather than admonitory. Keep an accurate account of your doings, and you will not only be wiser but ere long rich CT in consequence. In fact, resolve that you will know how you stand at the close of 1888, whoever may meantime have been elected president of the republic or governor of your commonwealth.
