CUPID IN THE FO'C'STLE.
An English Maid, Nancy Clifford, Ships
as 81 Sailor.
London Mail.

AOAl0OAA q
A strange story of a romance, on a Brit
ish ship comes in a personal letter from
Honolulu, where the ship has touched. The
vessel in question is the Hawkesdale, on
board of which Nancy Clifford appears to
have shipped. from an English provincial
town, as an able seaman, in mans clothes,
of course, at the dictates of Cupid.
She undertook the hardships of a six
months voyage in this strange manner in
order to pass the remainder of her life in
Punishment with the man she loved, be-
cause of the law against the marriage of
the deceased wife'S sister to the WidOWer.
1t was her dead sisters husband, j. Ander-
loved.
When the Hawkesdale was in Portland
last fall there was current among the crew
a story of a woman who had shipped be-
fore the mast on the Hawksdale on a vOy-
age a few months before from an English
port for Australia. Upon arrival at the
antipodean port, the captain was surprised
to receive an application for the discharge
of two of his crew. While the discharge
captain was not aware that one of the sea-
men was a woman.
Anderson had married Nancy CliffordS
sister. She died and was laid to rest be-
side q. little mound in the burying-ground
of an English coast village, where .Ander-
son had buried a little blue-eyed girl a few
months before. He did not then fall in
love with is sister-in-law. He had been in
love with her ever since he had saved her
on the forward deck of the ship Hawkes.
dale the crew used to talk about the at
taChment Oh TWO very OIullldl N-lOOhllIS
sailors for one another. To satisfy them,
Anderson told them that when his mate
was younger he had saved his life. He
told nothing more.
They could not marry in England, and
hence the desperate resolve they carried
oot. How Anderson managed 10 ship his
boy. yh-Iooking comrade is that which can
only be explained by him. The letter afore-
said declares clearly that it was done, that
they landed all right and secured their dis
charge. and were married as the law in
Australia permits.
Sailor Nancy Clifford's conduct on the
ship was of such a character that it could
not but arouse the curiosity of the crew.
Life in the f~o'c'stle forces intimacies, but
these two sailors, who had shipped under
fictitious names, of course, held about them
a certain air of reserve which it was very
difficult to break through, says the New
York Sun. The sailors laughed at them.
and when there was a storm that tried
their hearts, they jeered the sanctimonious
Nancy, and asked him to pray and the
squaIl would pass. But sailor Anderson
and his mate held their peace and their
hearts were brave. They had long CONVEX
sations by themselves, which none over
heard. and none guessed that they were
planning their future life away from the

Honesty the Best Policy.

IlaAA u ~ -
Once l was young and now / am old, vet
have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor
his seed begging bread. The above is not
an exact quotation from the Scripture, In
all probability, but is as near as memory
will permit me TO recall it. The sentiment
is all there, however. There never was a
truer truism-if the expression may be used
than the old saw: Honesty is the best
policy. ! admit that it does not occupy the
highest moral grounds. 1t does not say
that one shall do right because it is right.
1t does not say that one shall render mis-
neighbor full due because it is Christian
Christ-like-to do so. 1t does not touch the
higher plane OF pure morality at all. 1t
simply says that one shall be honest be-
cause it pays. Because il Is polite to do
that which is fair and right. And it does
pay The truth of this is proved by the his
tory of every honest man. and by the his
tory of every dishonest man. / do not say
that all honest men do well in business and
all dishonest men fail. Not by a long shot.
There are honest men in the -almshouse;
there are thieves who live on velvet and
eat from silverware. But when all things
ar weighed and measured; when the ball
ance is struck all around; when the aver
age Of mems lives is made, you will find
that it pays one to do that which is right
in business matters as in all others. The.

science is the bes> holding one can have at
