rude domestic came,to open to 'him, a man
of fi fty, whose-black locks,' slightly yish,
were so tangled and `matted,: that ' f it had
been desired to improve them, one ,
would
have thought of carding-rather than chnibing.
\ His eye's,
of a pale blue, did not look You in
the face, his voice was,drawling and hasal.—'
The stranger asked for M. Hanle), gilv:ing his
card, to which the domestic replied : I 1: •
' I will go and see if he is in. • ' i
He left the stranger at the door, Ifich he
half closed,and re-entered the house. e soon
returned and said : .
'M. Hamel is not yet up, but yoaare

stranger fund efresh and plump ,garl who
appeared About' twenty'-five. She firas .evi
dently en toilette—as appeared by . a cap
trimmed _with lace, a handkerchief pinned
'around her neck, and asilk apron. !She had
the blue,,,almond•sluiped eyes.. of the Normans;
-but these dear transparent,deep; spotless eyes:
lOoked at once with the-whole earfula broad
but pointless glance, which one, conl lneither
meet nor .arrest'.by another glance,jrcause
that of Anistasia would have encircled and
enveloped it. ' ' .
' You are,' said she to the stranger, 'M.

' Very well—you come to be the secretary
of M. Hamel.'
'Yes, n'iademoiselle—if I have the good

THN CAPTAIN'S 'BATHIN G TUB.
A cabin-boy °lone of the ward-'room of
ficers, on board a' United States:vessel,' a
, 00d deal given to mischief, one day_ made
his way into the captain's cabin, while, they
were engaged- above In making peva strange
sail in the horizon," Here he finds sorts .
oflutturie; including verbs& witiei, 'of which
he drinks enough to raise his conrage - nOt on:
ly, but to`make him somewhat reckless ,of
consequences.
In this state he fuids himself in :e room
adjoining the cabin, a' tin laithinglub it one
corner, luxuriouily supplied with rare cos
metics, and smelling like a berber's;shop of
the first class. 4 Now,' fie says, had• tried
all the other good things that I found the
cabin; I had drank the captain's Wine,..and
straightened myself out , on his _sofii,-Aitid
swung in the htimmikk end thonglif 'I
wouldn't quit without faking a 'dip in" - his
bath.' -
Accordingly he- stripped, and was just en
joying the first pleasant feel of the
,Water,'
when he was interrupted by the oAOseoger,
bov, who had been.sent into the cabin by the
Captain.—Fortunately he was not discover
, ed this time, bdt it made him cautious.:
4 I must contrive some way.togetent with
my clothes if'anybody comes along again.
I wasn't long in fidding the way. The ports
on the side of the, forward cabin were open,'
and through them I could easily get out into ..
the mizen-aains, where I could dress myself :
without being seen. - There. was. a ibig gun 1
l in each port, o ctirronade, as they 'ern—
short but fat—the biggest kind--L-you never
see such kind of guns, except aboard, ships-ef
war. 'I could clamber-out alongside 'one. of
'Om easy enough though. I was a little fel
low then.' •,
He. takes his shops; clothes and, hot, and
sticks theni outside of the port where;; they
couldn't be seen ; then,' he 54:8; 4 r went
back to the tab.-All takot'mere •
than -hislfa minute, fiirllworked sherp,L, pan

Was,-that the steward *Could - time in- and
catch 'me. 'didn't - cake a tinker's ;Co p per

I -Was fairly; outside , and safe, as I"thought:,,
in the chains, before, the captain opened the:
cabin' door. I sat there a 'Minute, drying,
and t h en was going to begitillo dresi, -,when
I heard the sound of oars coming -roun the
stern of the ship. 1 1 'knew by the regular.
dip in the water, and by the noise of thcf-oars
in, the row-locks, that it. was tnan-e' 7 war's
'hoer, and, of Course, it :iris the first cutter
coming alOngside, though it seemed to me
she had come up mighty quick. )
