discomposure.

DICK RODNEY;
Or. The Adventures of
An Eton Boy.
BY JAMES GRANT.

CHAPTER VIII-(Continued.)
Il remember well when, from a wild
forest, l saw before me a long blue
ridge. 1t was the Sierra Leonda-or
the Mountain of the Lioness, as the
niggers thereabout call it, the highest
in North or South Guinea. CT | was
l., Master Rodney, to see the flag of
old England waving on the fort and in
the bay. There was a sloop of war at
anchor there, the Active; and when
she fired the evening gun you would
have thought a whole fleet was salut-
ing, there are so many echoing caves
and dents in the mountains and along
the shore.
II soon made my way home to Eng
land, but was more laughed at than
pitied for my queer fgure-head, which
frightened some folks, my old mother
especially, for she banged the door
right in my face, and called for the
police when l went to her old bunk at
Deptford.
However, I got used to all that sort
of thing; but as folks are so ill-bred
and uncharitable ashore, | have left
Deptford forever, and keep always
af1oat, to be out of harms way. So
that's the yarn of how l became tat
tooed, Master Rodney"
Finish the Observation-Disclosures, Tom"
said I, and now we'll make a start
for the b~rig-noon is past, and the
atmosphere cooler than it was"
Your very good health. Next time
we splice the main-brace ashore, l
hope it will be in Cuba" said Tom,
finishing the contents of my flask and
then becoming so jovial that he broke
at once into an old sea-song, the last
two verses of which were somewhat to
this purpose:
81 learned to splice, to reef and clew,
To drink my grog with the best of the
crew,
And tell a merry story;
And though I wasn't very big,
Aloft I'd climb, nor care a fig
To stand by my gun, or dance a jig,
And all for Britain's glory!
when home l steered again I found
My poor old mother run aground,
And doleful was her story;
She had been cheated by a lawyer elf,
Who married her for her old dads pelf,
But spent it all, then hanged himself.
Hooray for England's glory!"
Just as Tom concluded this remark
able ditty with tones that made the
volcanic grotto to echo to GLORY" a
voice that made us start exclaimed,
close by us:
"Bueno! Ha! Ha! Los Anglesos
burrachios!"
On hearing this impertinent refec-
ton on our sobriety we both looked
up and saw-what the next chapter
will tell you

CHAPTER TX.
Dangerous COMPANY.

Behind us stood eight fellows, five
of whom had muskets, and three heavy
bludgeons. They were apparently
Spanish s~eafaring men; but whether
contrabandistas of the lowest class,
a portion of a %slaver's crew, or mere
ly drunken brawlers, we could not at
first determine. However, they soon
made us aware that robbery was their
object, and hat they were in no way
averse to a little homicide if we inter
fered with their plans in the least.
Some had their coarse, but glossy
and intensely black hair confined by
nets or cauls; others had only Bar
celona handkerchiefs round their
heads. The spots of blood upon these,
together with several patches and dis
colored eyes, showed us that thest
modern Iberians had been fighting
among themselves. Their attire, which
consisted only of red or blue shirts
and dirty anvas trousers, was rather
d~ilapidated; but something of the pic
turesque was impaired to it by the
sashes of glazing red and yellow wor-
sted which girt their waists, and in
which they had long knives stuck %
~spicuously.
By their bearing, their dark glazing
eyes, their muscular figures, their bare
arms, chest and feet, their bronzed,
sallow and ugly visages-and more
than all by their rags, which we're red
olent of garlic and coarse tobacco,
it was evident that we had fallen into
unpleasant society. Several had silver
rings in their ears, and on the bare
chest of one | saw a crucifiX marked
either with ink or g%unpowder.
These fellows had come from the in
ner or back part of the cavern, where
they had evidently been observing us
for some time before they so suddenly
appeared.
"Acqu'ardiente," said one, approx
ingly, as he applied his fierce, hooked
ose to my empty flack, and then plac-
ed it in his pocket. A second snatched
away my courier-bag, and a third APP
propriated my telescope, which he
stuck in his sash.
Taking up a stone which lay at
hand, l was about to hurl it at the
head of the latter when the muzzle
of a cooked musket pointed to my
breast, and the butt of another APP
piled roughly to my back, admonished
me that discretion was the better part
of valor.
'El page de escoba-ha. ha," (the
cabin boy, said one contemptuously,
as he examined my attire-a smart
blue Jacket, with gilt anchor buttons,
which Hislop had given me. Ms porte
monnaie, which contained only a few
%shillings, and my gold watch, a pres
ent given to me by my mother when ]
went to Elton, were soon taken from
me. AS for poor Tom. he possessed
only a brass tobacco-bax, a short
black pipe, and one shilling and six
pence; yet he was speedily deprived
of them by one who seemed to be the
leader of the gang.
you rascally Jack Spaniard," said
Tom. shaking his clenched fist in the
robbers face. "if ever I haul alongside
Of you elsewhere, look out for squalls,'
At this they all laughed, and seized
us by the arms, dragged us into the
back part of the cavern or assure in
the rocks, leaving n of their mum.

FORTIFIED MONASTERY.
Where the Monks Showed Contempt for
British Attacks.

British Attacks.
Russia holds the strongest fortified
institution in the world, says the New
York Herald. 1t is the monastery Of
Solovetsk, and if any military experts
desire points as to the best method Of
protecting vital spots, they can do no
better than pay a visit to this abode Of
monks and take a few lessons in prac-
teal defense from the practical breth-
rem who live there. Granite boulders
form the chief protection. They are
arranged in a formidable circle COM
pletely enclosing the monastery. At
no point in the solid wall could the at
tack of an enemy make an impression.
The huge rocks make a line nearly a
mile in circumference. 1t was during
a period of the Crimean wal that the
strength of the Notifications was test
ed and proved. The walls and the
towers held huge guns, and the men
behind the guns knew their business,
which was to pour a fire into the
British White Sea squadron. The
monastery, which consists of six
churches, held a valuable store Of pre-
cious stones and s%tatuary. The monks
did not remain inside during the
Smelling of their home, but coolly
walked around the lodges of the gran
tie walls to show their Indifference to
the work of the attacking forces. The
monastery is a noted place, and it is
estimated that the. yearly number OF
pilgrims visiting it amounts to 10000.
Monks man the steamers which carry
these crowds of men and women anx-
ious to see the Notifications and the
relics in the churches.

Well Printed.
Here is something | wish to inquire
about" said an elderly gentleman, as
he entered the establishment of a deal
er in artists materials and held out q
tiny booklet. Il bought some gold leaf
of you a few days ago, and IN turning
the sheets OF paper between the leaves
| discovered that they contained por-
tons of the scriptures and seemed to
have been cut from a part of the
Bible so they WERE" answered the
dealer; but there is nothing so ex-
traordinary about that fact when you
understand it. 1t was English gold
leaf you bought, and that, as a regu-
lar matter of business, is packed in
little books made up of pages of the
Bible cut to the requisite size and
stitched together. No proclamation is
intended, but the practice OF packing
the material in this way is well es-
tablished. The Bible is selected for
the purpose because, as a general
thing, the type is more evenly set and
the printing finer and better executed
than in other books. Printed paper
has always been in general use for
packing the sheets of gold. The slight
indentations made by the type serve
to keep them more firmly in place.
They slip when packed between plain
sheets. The Book of Common Prayer
is also employed for the same purpose
and for the same reason. Gold leaf
books are made up from the sheets in
which they leave the press and before
they are folded"
