visitors knocked the ashes from their
pipes and hied them to their boat The
other captain gone, we got the cloths
upon the ship. and shortly she was
drawing away on her course.
Matters on the Industry now went
on as before, and. except thatwe had
more Morgan talk and little moon
ing and signing from some of the men,
there was nothing to disturb the for
mer monotony.
One evening, being newly come out
to take charge of my watch, lighted
my pipe and sauntered off leisurely to
the poop, meaning to take look at
our course. I had proceeded as far as
the ladder, and think even had one
foot upon it, when I heard my name
sharply yet stealthily called. Ihalted.
in some surprise, and found that the
speaker was old Jack Lewson.

nobody is looking"
He thrust bit of paper into my
hand and slipped away.

made known the captains good ma
ture to the men, by whom it was re-
ceived with great favor, and they We're
not slow in having the two tars out
of the boat. Then, having fetched up
the ale, all proceeded to set off their
pipes and gather round for the news.
I took my own stand near by, bit
outside the circle, but within hearing.
Both the visitors-judged at a glance
were ordinary English sailors, brown,
bluff and sturdy, with jaw tackle
doubtless on an easy run, once the
bowl had passed. They gave us brief
account of their ship, growied over the
provisions, which, it seems, were of a
particularly wretched sort, and in turn
fell to questioning US. We gave them
the home news, and added some spice
at the end by an account of our brush
with the Dutchman. This brought out
lively round of talk, the pnrport of
which was that the Dutch had won
drous assurance, but for q fair fight,
with even metal, were naught beside
the English. When this had passed
some one brought up the doings of
our ships abroad, and notably in pirat-
zeal waters, and from here we natural
ly fell to talking of the buccaneers.

the two sailors, 81 think I can say a

''Belay, there, mates, and hear me-"
said the sailor, hourishing his pipe for
silence. "Hast heard what Capt.
Morgan is now about?"

"Well, mates, it is the greatest thing
conceived by English sailors since the
days of Drake. Naught less than the
taking OF Panama."
Our men broke out in a hearty note of
applause.

point, and speaking with a disapprov-

MORNING IN SUMMER.


How soft and sweet the light winds blow
From off the hillsides and the lea.
How soft yon brook sings in its flow
In ripping, rhythmic melody
"A subtle fragrance fills the air
AS gently sway the tall tree-tops,
And fills each sense with rapture rare,
AS like a shower 1t downward drops
From out each copse and leafy bower
There comes the twitter of young birds
In coy chatter as they cover
Within their nest which safe engirds.
The robin runs close to my feet
With saucy look and movement spry.
Then mounts on wing, and singing sweet.
Pours out his notes of song on high.
From tree to tree and over fields
The darting oriole flashes bright.
land through the space come merry peals
OF song as from some fairy sprite.
The ripplin brook and rustltng trees.
The hum Of insects on the air,
The song of birds and drone Of bees,
All form symphony most rare.
The sun-tint golden buttercup,
The daisy and sweet clover bloom,
From 'mong the tangled grass look up
And lade the air with sweet perfume.
There's life and sweet love everywhere
That wakes the heart to tuneful songs,
And lifts it up, above all care,
To Him to whom all praise belonga
William G. Haeselbarth, in Christian
Work.

ing air. 81 think but little of this news
of yours. What have the Spaniards
done to US that we should deal with
them in such a fashion? To my think
ing it is no better than rank piracy"
"Yet it has the warrant OF the king,
else report is liar" said the sailor,
briskly.
Nay" said I, coldly, CT must needs
have proof of that. 1 cannot think his
majesty would consent to such ill-doing.
Besides, England and Spain are at
peace, and this would surely involve
them in war"
''Well, Master Ardick, you take me
out of soundings there" said the sailor,
with a laugh. 81 must stick to my
facts-for facts I still think they be
and let such deep matters 60"
NAY, nay" said I, uneasily, for now
I began to fear the influence of such
talk on the men; ''this is all an i'll bust
ness. Morgan and his fellows are but
pirates, letters of commission or no,
| and it will be wonder If they do not
end their days on the gallows, which at
least they deserved
But here some grumbling arose from
our fellows. "'Vast, Master Ardick;
brace not so sharp up" said one. "a
commission from the king is deep wa
ter enough for me-" said a second.
''Who would be nice of Spaniard? ''
said third. And so the murmur went
around.
"Nay, then, listen an you WILL"
said, with some disgust. Little good
will it do you, unless you mean to join
Morgan yourselves, and that, I con-
ceive. you can scarce do at present"
With this I withdrew bit into the
background, yet not so far, must adj

Panama takeE," pursued the sailor,
who was now quite at his ease, and
ffourished his pipe in an important
style. "there will be some small jollity
for poor Jack. Not less than a month
in the city, will be bound, and no man
overhauled for steering his own
course! You shall conceive me, mates,
what that may mean! Rare women,
I am told, there be in Panama, and not
least a considerable nunnery. Besides,
there are the old wines and the noble
pieces of eight"
Our foolish fellows must break out
again in applause.

the fellow was but windy forecastle

HOW STORMS ARE RECORDED.
n Scale of Figures Which Were De-
vised for That Purpose by the
Late Admiral Beaufort.

It requires a lifelong familiarity
with the perils of the sea to become
as philosophical as Barney Buntline.
who, as the old song has it, remarked
to his shipmate, Billy Bowline:
"a stiff nor'easter's BLOWN, Bill,
Harki don't you hear 1t roar?
Lor'. how pities them poor folks
Wots got to live on shore"'
and who, while the storm ragged and
the seas were mountains rolling. took
great comfort in the fact that he was
on board tight little craft, all reefed
down snug, and was in no danger from
the falling tiles and chimney-pots that
threatened the luckless wights abroad
in the storm on land.
But it is no joke to be overtaken by
one of those terrible hurricanes that,
every summer and autumn, sweep over
the North Atlantic ocean; and while
it may be pleasant afterward to re-
late thrilling stories by ones freside
of fearful nights at sea-" yet, at the
time, the narrator would no doubt
have gladly foregone the future pleas
| ure to have been safely out of the
| present danger.
These dreadful disturbances that
are variously known as Hurricanes"
| in the North Atlantic, cyclones" in
the Indian ocean, and "typhoons" in
| the China seas, are all of the same
general character, and equally dread
ed by Jack, no matter what they are
called.
In old days, sailors described the
| wind, in their logs, as breeze, gale,
or a hurricanes; but the late Admiral
Beaufort, royal navy, devised a much
more definite, though very simple, sys.
| tenn of record, which is now UNIVERSAL
| ly used at sea. This scale runs from
o (calm) to IL (hurricane), and the
| force of the wind is estimated by the
amount of sail vessel can safely
carry. 1t is rough, of course, but it
gives sailor an instant idea of the
| exact state of things. Here are three

SHE FOOLED THE cow.
II None OF the Visitors Saw Her,
Though, Who Discovered
How She Did 1T?

It would scarcely be fair to use the
young lady's name, but Madisonville
girl had TO resort to a heroic method
in her efforts to milk the family cow
one evening lately.
The COW, a placid, even-tempered AL
derney, has one peculiarity-she will
let nobody come near her to milk her
save the men. On the evening re-
ferred to the men happened all to be
away, and visitors dropped in, max
ing it necessary that the cow be MIXED
before supper.
The young lady made bold to try the
experiment, and sauntered down to
the cow lot with her milk pail All
her endeavors, though, were futile.
The cow absolutely refused to allow
the milkmaid to come near her.
Finally in desperation the deter
mined young lady went back to the
house, and after some trouble and ex-
ertion that might have combined with
her maidenly decorum to call the
beautiful color to her cheeks, she re-
appeared clad in coat and trousers and
stiff hat belonging to her brother.
Picking up her milk pail she once more
essayed to perform the task of milk
ing the perverse bovine, and the sue
cess that crowned her efforts was COM
plete.
The visitors, who enjoyed glass of
cold, rich milk little knew the extrem-
ity to which the daughter of the
household was put, and will only
learn OF it as they read it now-Cin.
