4 YOUTHS EXPERIENCE.
Cpntinued.

In the midst of this Arnold
Goodliff, young man who reliev-
ed the guard that was in the fore
castle, discovered one of the round
light holes open, and as the ship
dipped, the water poured in. in tor
rents. He stepped to one side,
closed the light hole and stopped
the water. This was the supposed
leak that was sprung.
A part of the day before had
been pleasant and some one had
opened the window, and lucky for
them that the captain did not
find out who did it.
Our location at this time was
away up in the north far out of
our course, being driven there by
the south wind before named, and
after seven weeks, principally very
rough sailing, we sighted land at
Cape May, on the 18th Of April,
and as we approached the land we
saw what to me seemed the most
lovely sight I ever saw. The sun
was shining lovely on the beautiful
blossoms of lovely green, made it
look like very paradise. We were
then towed up the Delaware river
nearly two days with it's lovely
scenery on both sides of us, and /
felt happy at the sight, and on the
Goth day Of April, 1856, we first
sat our feet on American soil, as
on that day we landed in Shipping

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

/ will now describe a Haiwaiia,
feast. Often on the completion of
a new dwelling they must have big
one, lasting two or three days, or at
least until the food is eaten; frequent
ly killing horse and they will never
let up until every morsel of the
animal is gone. BY invitation par
took of the following bounties at a
feast held in nice shady grove,
where mother earth was used for a
table, on which the viands were
placed. Mats we're spread on the
ground for table-cloths. There we're
900 plates, 900 bowls of Poi, 3
roasted hogs, beef, II turkeys and
as many ducks. All these were
dissected into small pieces before
being placed on the table, if l may
so call it, and besides all these lux
uries there were one hundred raw
fish weighing from three to four
pounds each, having just been taken
from their watery home, 900 bowls
of custard. pumpkin pies, 100
loaves of bakers bread and an almost
endless amount of buns and other
sweetmeats.
When everything was ready, the
guests took seats on mats spread on
the ground around the food, dressed
in their best. Many of the ladies
wore their silk and satin gowns,
while the men were dressed in white
linen pants. A more merry jolly
and jovial crowd of human beings,
never witnessed; all enjoying their
feast of fat things and during all this
did not see knife, fork, spoon or
anything else, except their fingers,
used to eat with, and while eating
they we're talking and laughing all
the time. They say they enjoy their
food better and think it tends to
health to have lively and pleasant
conversation while eating. We
elders, while mingling with and
preaching to them, ate of their food,
but instead of using our fingers as
they did, we we're always furnished
knives, forks and spoons.

In a recent issue of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat we find the follow
ing.
"By going to silver basis the
United States would find itself as
sociated with China, India, Japan,
Straits settlements, Persia, Mexico,
Central America, Peru, Bolivia and
Ecuador. The list is not very long
or imposing nor inviting. In fact,
the idea of getting Uncle Sam into
such company is painful evidence
of degeneracy."
Well, suppose it did, would we not
be associating ourselves with three
fourths of the population of the earth?
And would we be any worse off either
financially or commercially or NOR
ally to be associated with the coun-
tries named in the above extract
than with Egypt and Italy and Spain
and Turkey and Bulgaria and Brazil
and Ashantee and Abyssinia, which
are all now on gold basis? Certainly
the adoption of a silver basis in this
country would not change the char
acter of the American people. They
would still lead all the world in in
telligence, enterprise, invention and
all that goes to make humanity pro-
! gressive and prosperous. We were

the silver using countries would be
wiped out, to the great advantage
of this country and Europe.-Vir-

WaNflowers In Paris.

Amongst the many rural elegan-
clos that makes Paris the freshest
and brightest of cities, we must
give a large place to the Wall

But really you must 60 to Paris

day in April you may see in the
Pare de Monceaux, and other such
places, what at moderate distance
look like beds Of crimson Azaleas;
but when you reach the spot you
find them to be beds of wallfowers
solid with bloom, quite uniform in
height, and, as the gardeners say,
"as neat as if turned out of band
box" Almost invariably the sorts
employed are the deep blood-red
and the bluish-purple, all tn, slaty
blues being repudiated, and the
best yellows being scarcely any,

les and blood-reds are mixed
throughout in equal proportions,
and the near view of them is as en-
jovable as the distant view is
surprising. The odour diffused

THE TEXAS RANGER.

Come all you Texas rangers,
Wherever you may be,
Come on my jolly rovers
And listen unto me.
NY name is nothing extra,
The truth to you I'll tell,
For I'm Texas ranger,
81 And / wish you all as we'll.
It was at the age of sixteen,
l Joined this jolly band,
We marched from San Antonio
All down the Rio Grande.
Our captain he informed us
Perhaps he thought it right
"Before we reach our station,
Brave boys you'll have to fight.
We saw the Indians coming,
We heard them give asyell,
My feelings at that moment
No human tongue could tell.
l thought of my dear mother,
Whose tears to me did say,
"My boy, they all are strangers.
At home you'd better stay"
But she being old and childish,
I thought she didn't know
What it was to be ranger,
So ranger / did go.
We saw the dust arising,
It nearly reached the sky
My feeling at that moment,
Is now my time to die?
Our bugle it then sounded,
Our captain gave command,
"To arms! To arms" he shouted,
"And by your horses stand"
We fought for full nine hours
Before the strife gave DER,
So many dead and wounded,
l ne'er had seen before.
Five hundred noble rangers,
AS ever trod the west,
Lay dying in the evening
With arrows through their breast
Perhaps you have mother
Likewise a sister too
Perhaps you have a sweetheart
To weep and mourn for you;
Be this your situation,
Although you expect to roam,
l have Taught you by expe renee
You'd better stay at home.

they use the fluffy head of the marsh
flag, commonly known as the cat-tail,
which, as you know, falls apart when
dry in cottony mass. This makes
just as good tire-ball as cotton. Where
cat-tails cannot be obtained sometimes
cotton batting is used.
Right in this connection many boys
would doubtless be glad to know that
dried cat-talls make excellent torches.
The stalks should be cut as long as
possible and the heads of the cat-tails
well saturated with kerosene oil. When
lighted they will burn for a long time
with flare that will outdo most ready
made torches. No doubt there are com
panies of boys who would like to march
in the political parades of the present
campaign. If they do they will find
cat-tail torches a very great attraction

riders rode straight for that end, while
the others-100 or more--veered toward
the train and opened fire. We didn't
dare to run very fast, and they had no
difficulty in keeping even with us for a
mile and half or more, though strung

"It was a close and thrilling race,

EIRE-RALL PLAYING.
A Splendid Sport of which the Boys of
Texas Are Very Fond.

A Splendid Sport OF which the Boys of
Texas Are Very Fond.
About the time every year that the
negroes begin cotton-picking the boys
of Texas have rare sport playing with
fre-balls. just at evening they gather
from the field pile of cotton-pods and
take them to nearby common or
field. AS soon as it is dark they go out
in force, carrying with them a can of
coal oil, or kerosene. Several of the
cotton balls are wadded together in
solid mass and saturated with the oil.
Then the boys separate in big circle,
standing Is or 20 feet apart.
"All ready!" shouts the boy who
holds the dripping ball of cotton.
Ready, ready" comes the word from
the other players.
A match is lighted and in moment
the coal oil in the cotton ball is blaz-
ing. Of course the boy who set it atire
cannot hold it more than second, so
he throws it swiftly to the boy next to
him. This boy sees the flaming ball
coming and he must catch it in his
hands and throw it before it burns him.
He may take any boy in the ring by sur
prise, and if that boy drops it he is not
only out of the game but he must pay
a heavy forfeit for his carelessness.
This forfeit usually consists in making
the "fumbler" stoop over and allow
himself to be struck once with hat or
knotted handkerchief by each of the
other players.
When one ball is used up another s
lighted and the game continues mer
rily. OF course the players become
well blackened and sometimes just
little scorched, but the intense excite
ment of the game makes up for all that.
Not only is this game played in the
south, but the boys of the north also
