the appearance of his coat, which he
patched himself upstairs in his room,
and which, before the end, was nothing
but patches. He never wrote or re-
ceived letter, and he never spoke with
any but the nei9hbors and with these.

Off. DIR. Liyesey came late one after

in rum, with his arms on the table. Sud
denly he-the captain, that is-began
to pipe up his eternal song:
Fifteen men on the dead mans chest

Drink and tho devil had done for the rest

At first l had supposed the dead

box of his upstairs in the front room,
and the thought had been mingled in
my Nightmares with that of the one
legged seafaring man. But by this time
we had all long ceased 10 pay any par
that night, to nobody but DR.. Livesey,
and on him observed that it did not
produce an agreeable effect, for he
looked up for moment quite angrily
before he went on with his talk to old
Taylor, the gardener, on n new cure for
rheumatcs. In the meantime the cap
tain gradually frightened up at his
own music, and at last tapped his hand
upon the table before him in a way we
all knew to mean-silence. The voices
stopped at once, all but DR.. Livesey's;
he went on as before, speaking clear
and kind, and drawing briskly at his
pipe between every word or two. The
captain glared at him for awhile,
Mapped his hand again, glared still
harder, and Mt last broke out with a
villainous, low oath; "Silence, there
between decks!"

bottle of RUM" all the neighbors Join
ing in for dear life, with the fear of
death upon them, and each singing
louder than the other, to avoid remark.
For in these fits he was the most over
riding companion ever known; he
would slap his hand on the table for 81
lence all round; he would fly up in pas
sion OF anger at a question, or some
times because none was put and so he
Judged the company was not following
his story. Nor would he allow anyone
to leave the inn till he had drunk him
self sleepy and reeled off to bed.
His stories were what frightened peo-
pie worst of all. Dreadful stories they
were; about hanging. and walking the
plank. and storms at sea, and the Dry
Tortugas, and wild deeds and places on
the Spanish main. BY his own account,
he must have lived his life among some
Of the wickedest men that God ever al
lowed upon the sea; and the language
in which he told these stories shocked
our plain country people almost as
much as the crimes that he described
Ny father was always saying the inn
would be ruined, for people would soon
cease coming there to be tyrannized
over and put down, and sent shivering
to their beds; but I really believe his
presence did us good. People were
frightened at the time, but on looking
back they rather liked it; it was a fine
excitement in quiet country life; and
there was even a party of the younger
men who pretended to admire him. call
ing him true sea-dog," and real
old salt" and such like names. and say
ing there was the sort of man that
made England terrible at sea.
In one way, indeed, he babe fair to
ruin us; for he kept on staying week
efter week, and at last month after
month, so that all the money had been
long exhausted, and still my father
never plucked up the heart to insist on
having more. If ever NE mentioned il.
the captain blew through his nose so
loudly that you might say he roared.
and stared my poor father out of the
room. I have seen him wrinring his
hands after such a rebuff, and am sure
the annoyance and the terror he lived
in must have greatly hastened his early
and unhappy death.
All the time he lived with us the cap
tain made no change whatever in his
dress but to bu. some stockings from
hawker. One Of the cocks of his hat
having fallen down, he let it hang from
that day forth, though it was a great

told him, with another oath. that this
was so. 81 have only one thing to say to
you, SIR" replies the doctor, that if
you keep on drinking rum the world
will soon be quit of very dirty scoun-
drel!"
The old fellows fury was awful. He
sprung to his feet, drew and opened a
sailors clasp knife, and, balancing it
open on the palm Of his hand. threat
ened TO pin the doctor to the wall.
The doctor never so much as moved.
lie spoke to him. as before, over his
shoulder. and in the same tone OF voice;
rather high, so that all the room
might hear, but perfectly calm and
steady:
"If you don't put that knife this in
slant into your pocket, promise, upon
my honor, you shall hang at the next
assizes."
Then followed n battle Of looks be-
tween them but the captain soon
knuckled under, put up his weapon, and
resumed his seat, grumbling like beat
en- dog.
"And now, sir" continued the doctor,
"since l know there's such fellow in
my district. you may count I'll have an
eye on you day and night. I'm not a
doctor, only; I'm n magistrate; and IL I
catch a breath of complaint against
you, if it's only for piece Of incivilty
like tonight, I'll take cffectual means
to have you hunted down and routed
out of this. Let that suffice"
Soon after DR.. Livcsey's horse came
to the door. and he rode away; hut the
captain held his peace that evening, and
for many evenings to come.

Between us, with much trouble, we
managed to hoist him upstairs, and laid
him on his bed, where his head fell back
on the pillow, as If he were almost faint

And with that he went off to see my
father, taking me with him by the arm.

he had closed the door. "r have drawn

MEMBERSHIP OF SOLDIERS HOME

EDITOR ISLANDER: 1t was my mistake
in giving the number of present men,
bership of State Soldiers Home. Two
hundred in place of one hundred should
have been written. The membership is
now two hundred and ffty-six, with let
ters of inquiry looking 10 applications for
admission from twenty or more on the
outside. The new superintendent, or
commander, as he Is more frequently
called, is now busy with his assistants i'm
summing up the entire work of the home
for two years past, preparatory for bien-
nual report to the legislature, and 4 am
told that on or before the 10th inst. all
statistical information in which the pub
lie may feel Interested will be ready for
publication. The fact is clearly shown
that frequent changes in management of
the home are contrary to good policy. as
the books are apt to get into confusion
from lack of system or from incompe-
.tency. A hitch of this kind has stopped
regular monthly payments to employees
Tor the past two months, as the authori-
tiesa al Washington are very strict in re-
quirine fnll reports on all matters calling
for payment of public money.
