inches long, which he avowed to have
been laid by one of his own hens. HI
had it packed in cotton and would moi
allow anyone to handle it, for fear o
breaking the phenomenon.
The grocer examined it with the
rest and, intending to chaff the country
man, said:
"Pshaw! lie got something in the
egg line that will beat"
"Ill bet you a dollar you haven't,

brought out wire cgc-beater.

"let's see you beat it..

WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE

your friends have this disease, you
know how disagreeable it is. Its symp-
toms are infamed eyes, throbbing tenn

ly its cure is not question OF what
you will give, but what you will take.

thoroughly purifies, enriches and vital

completely and permanently cured.

CHAPTER XIV.
VOYAGE FROM THE CHESAPEAKE TO
JAMAICA.

But besides taking part with my
comrades in these different pursuits, it
was common custom with me to
spend whole days on shore, either seek
ing for game in the woods, or lettering
about the beautiful banks of the river
with my fishing rod. No man who
has not experienced the irksomeness
of a four months confinement on board
OF ship, can at all comprehend the de-
gree of graft fcation which these soli-
tarv excursions afforded. On such oc-
casions, the air always appeared to
blow with peculiar sweetness, and the
noises produced by things animate and
inanimatc about me were almost musi-
cal. Every branch overhead was alive
with birds, which made the forest ring
with their clear and varied notes;
whilst the rustlng of, the breeze
through the foliage, the murmur Of the
large stream, broken in upon and va
Red from time to time by the indistinct
cries OF The seamen, created altogether
Il harmony more exquisite than any
other to which the human car can
listen. Towards niyhtfali. in particu-
lar, tli.sr sounds came upon me with
peculiar force. Nor were the heating

Things continued thus with us dur
ing several weeks, the boats rowing
daily to the beach, and hrin -ing off
stores of fresh water from wells which
had been dag there, and the horses
and some part of the artillery being
landed on an island in the river. But
at last signal was made for all par
ties to rel = to their respective YES
sells; and on the evenin. Of the 9th of
October, the whole expedition was

pause was made for the night; but on
the morrow we were again under sail,
