The Farmer Was Fixed for Him

A well-to-do Georgia farmer invited
a merchant friend to dine with him.
The merchant was known for his crank
mess and had once or twice tried to
shoot people for imagined wrongs. The
farmer had considerable business deal
lngs with him, and they were on the
best OF terms. However, the farmer
always kept wary eye on him. Several
days after the dinner at the farmers
house the merchant said to him: II
can't account for the queer feelings
and impulses I have occasionally. For
instance, the other day when l was
dining at your table it suddenly came
into my mind to kill you. had a pistol
in my pocket at the time, and once

feeling passed from me!''

No class of people is so liable to throat
trouble as the great class who make up the
Gospel ministry. The strain put upon the
vocal organs by constant exercise; the
sudden change from heated building to
the cool air when the vocal organs are in
a state of complete relaxation; the fact
that minister feels i1npelled to use his
voice when actors and lecturers would
take the needed rest; these are among the
reasons why "Clergy1nen's sore throat "
is known as special disease. The Rev.

CHAPTER III.
THE BLACK SPOT.


About noon I stopped at the captains
door with some cooling drinks and
medicines. He was lying very much
as we had left him, only little higher,
and he seemed both weak and excited.
"Ji1n," he said, you're the only one
here that's worth anything; and you
know I've been always good to YOU.
Never month but I've given you sill
yer fourpenny for yourself. And now
you see, mate, Tn pretty low, and de-
serted by all; and Jim, you'll bring mc
one noggin of rum, now won't you,
matey?'
''The doctor" I began.
But he broke in cursing the doctor, in
feeble voice, but heartily. doctors
is all swabs," he said; land that doctor
there, why, what do he know about
seafaring men? I been in places hot
as pitch, and mates dropping round
with Yellow Jack, and the blessed land
a-heaving like the sea with earth
quakes-what do the doctors know of
lands like that? and I lived on rum. T
tell you. It's been meat and drink, and
man and wife, to me; and if I'm not to
have my rum now I'm poor old hulk
On q lee shore, my blood'll be on you,
Jim, and that doctor swab;" and he ran
onagain for awhile with curses. Look,
Jim, how my fingers fidges,'' he con-
tinued, in the pleading tone. II can't
keep 'em still, not /. I haven't had a
drop this blessed day. That doctors a
fool, I tell you. If don't have drain
O rum, Jim, I'll have the horrors; I
seen some on 'em already. I seen old
Flint in the corner there, behind you;
as plain as print, seen him; and if /
get the horrors, I'm a man that has
lived rough, and I'll raise Cain. Your
doctor hisself said one glass wouldn't
hurt me. I'll give you a golden guinea
for noggin, jim"
He was growing more and more ex-
cited, and this alarmed me. for my ia
Their was very low that day, and
needed quiet; besides, was treasured
by the doctors words, now quoted to
me, and rather offended by the offer of
d bride.
II want none of your money" said
I, ''but what you owe my father. I'll
get you one glass, and no more.'
When brought it to him, he seized it
greedily, and drank it out. ;>.,.. =
"Ay, ay,'' said he, 'that's some bet
ter, sure enough. And now, matey,
did that doctor say how long I was to
lie here in this old berth? ?" z~'' 1.5'..@*''5.
"Awcek at least" said I. 4. s.-a I >. r.:
''Thunder!" he cried. "A week! I
can't do that; they'd have a black spot
on me by then. The lubbers is going
about to get the wind of me this blessed
moment; lubbers as couldn't keep
what they got, and want to nail what is
another's. Is that seamanly behavior,
now. I want to know? But I'm a saw
ing soul never wasted good money
of niue, nor lost it, neither; and TIL
trick 'em again. I'm not afraid on 'em.
I'll shake out another reef, matey, and
daddle 'em again. . II @5 81.
As he was thus speaking he had risen
from bed with great diff Guilty, holding
to my shoulder with . grip that almost
made me cry. and moving his legs like
so much dead weight. His words,
| spirited as they were il meaning, con-
ltrasted sadly with the veal nessof che
voice in which they were III tered. he
