STORY OF NELSON.

~ APTAIN MAHAN relates the fol-
lowing anecdote concerning Lord
Nelson's letter PROPOSING a truce
to the Crown Prince of Denmark, dt--
patched in the midst of hostilities:
The decks being cleared of all parti-
lions fore and aft, and all ordinary con-
yeniences removed, Nelson wrote in full
view of all on the deck where he was,
at the casing of the ru~dderhead, stand
ing; and as he wrote an officer standing
by took a copy. The original, in his
own hand, was put into. an envelope
and sealed, with his arms. The officer
was about to use a wafer, but Nelson
said;
mo; send for sealing wax and can
die"
Some delay followed, owing to the
mans having his head taken off by a
ball. send another messenger for the
wax said the admiral when Informed
of this, and when the waters were
again suggested he simply reiterated
the order.
A large quantity of wax was used,
and extreme care taken that the i'm
preston of the seal should be perfect.
Colonel Stewart asked:
"Nny, under so not "a Hre ana AFTER
so lamentahle al accident, have you
attached so much Importance to a cir
cumstanco apparently trifing?"

Nelson, THE wafer would have been
still wet when the letter was presented
to the crown prince; he would have in
ferred that the letter was sent off in a
hurry, and hat we had some pressing
reasons for being in a hurry. The wax

CHAPTER Y
WI

MM Y FIRST few days experience
Nv in my new position satisfied me
that DR.. Dulcifer preserved
himself from betrayal by a system of
surveillance worthy of the very worst
days of the Holy Inquisition itself.
No man of us ever knew that he was
not being overlooked at home, or fol-
lowed when he went out, by another
man. Peepholes were pierced in the
wall of each. room, and we were never
certain, while at work, whose eye was
observing, or who's ear was listening
in secret. Though we all lived together,
we were probably the least united body
of men ever assembled under n roof.
The doctor must have gained a great
deal of money by his skill as a colner.
His profits in business could never
have averaged less than 500 per cent;
and. to do him justice, he was really a
generous as well as a rich master.
We, of course, had nothing to do
with the passing of false money-we
only manufactured it sometimes at the
ate of 400 pounds worth in a week.;
and left its circulation to be managed
by our customers in London and the
large towns.
With Old File l became quite friend
ly. Excepting the secrets of our
prison-house, he was ready enough to
talk on subjects about which I was
curious.
He had known his present master as
a young man, and was perfectly
familiar with all the events of his
career. From various conversations. at
odds and ends of spare time, l discov-
cred that DR.. Dulcifer had begun life
as a foctmau in a gentleman's family;
that his young mistress had eloped
with him, taking away with her every
article of value that was her own per-
sonal property. in the shape of jewelry
and dresses; that they had lived upon
the sale Of these things for some time,
and that the husband, when the wife's
means were exhausted, had turned
strolling-player for a year or two.
Abandoning that pursuit, he had next
become a qCack doctor, first in a resi-
dent, then in a vagabond capacity
taking a medical degree Of his own con-
ferring and holding to it as a good
travelling title for the rest of his life.
From the selling of quack medicines
he had proceeded to the adulterating Of
foreign wines, varied by lucrative eve
ming occupation in the Paris gambling
houses. On returning to his native land
he still continued to turn his chemical
knowledge to account, by giving his
services to that particular branch Of
our commercial industry which is com
monty described as the adulteration of
commodities, and from this he had
gradually risen to the more refined pur-

The spots you describe are caused,

no external application will have much

Bichloride Of mercury Coarse pow

Extract of witch hazel, 2 ounces.
Rose water, 2 ounces
Mix and battle the spots morning and

purposes, but should be kept out of the
reach of children and irresponsible
persons.
