Naval Captains.

The saying runs that as soon as A

gins to carry stick, and as soon as
commander bcco mes captain he
turns religious For justification of
the latter part Of this assertion there
exists the undoubtcd fact that naval
captains are mostly serious minded
men who give some thought to the
Greater things of life, Possibly their
hours of loneliness may conduCe to
this frame Of mind, though for the
most part their leisure hours are given
up to study Of matters connected with
their calling. One well known captain
there was who used to hold prayer
meetings. which amy member Of the
ships company could attend. RE
member, there are no rates to be pick
ed up here" the captain would warn
them before the meetings started,
meaning that any one who came there
hoping to curry favor and thus get pro-
motion would be disappointed. And
in this the captain was always as good
as his word London Mail.
