Carboy was about forty years of mkt, s tall

I finally resolved to take the man, and
run the risk. I gave him the birth of my

his duties, and was not long in proving him
self a thorough seaman. Within sis.hours
from the time of installing Gilbert darboy

For s-week I overlooked my metal; move-

and yet there were times when I did not feel

At this point we were interrupten by the
entrance of a third person, and the coriver ,

From that tithe until are 'deleted this
Mediterranean I said ne - MOre to my mate
upon the subject of hie secret; but yet I
was not easy. Therb were times wh I re
ally feared to trust Carboy on the etch;
and when I asked Myself feared I
could not tell. It was c rious—tery curl
ons.—lt was, I thought, foolish ; but I could
not help it. I Could see that he tried to
please me—that he even discommoded Mtn
self to accomidate me.—lfehever hesitated
to move when I spoke' and never questioned
any 'of my opinions. This was the more
strange because touch was evidently not his
nature. lie was naturally proud and inde
pendent, and impatient of restraint; and it
was not a legitimate conclusion that some
powerful motive lel him to restrain him
self BO wondefully before me?
But the secret was coming to the surface;
On the °reran, ef,the-feurth day after
leaving Gibraltar, the suns went down in a
leaden cloud, and before eight o'clock the
wind was blowing furiously from the south
west; but I did not apprehend any trouble,
as we took it very near astern, with plenty
of open sea ahead. At midnight I called
Otlliert Carboy, and gave the ship . into his
charge. The course to be kept through the
nigh was east-north-east The main-sail
was ur o , an. a .ou o-rec in tle ore

to my mate after I had given him all need
ed directions, that we should pass tho Bel
eerie Isles before morning; or, at any rate,
thaqsroahould be well up with them. Be said
he had supposed so; and with this ho turned
to the binnacle, and I wont below, I
sat for half an hour at my table. looking
over my chart, and then I started to goo on
deck again ;-but I did not go Half way up
the ladder I stopped, and finally turned
back What started me up I cannot tell;
but I went back because I. feared that my
mate might think I Mistrusted him if I
went on deck. At length I turned in my
cot ; and I think I lay there tmother half
hour before I went to sleep.
How tong I bad slept I cannot tell; but
was awakened from an uneasy slumber by
the . peouliar mosion of the ship. I started

was laboridg with the sea. I detected at .

I cannot remember all he said; but I can
very distinctly remember that I didpot take

sometimes raving madly, and sometimes
apparently insensible. When we reached
Naples he wait able to pit up and talk ; and
he then confessed to me his secret. It has
a periodical insanity which he had inherit
ed from his father! Several times before
had he been thus attacked while on dut at
sea ; and it had at length become so general
ly known in the northern seaports that ho
could not obtain a berth on shipboard.

cause had much to do with bringing the
madness back upon me."
There is no need that I should tell how I
talked to him. I was not harsh, nor unfor

blamed him severely and promised that - all

anxious to leave her weeds and go into so'

doctot' about her being a shrew, he merely
remarried that he Amid take pleasure in

For three mbnths they lived hakely to
gather, for it was in the height of the season
and bbtWe'en Cape May, Newport, Saratoga
and the White Mountains, they were • alone
with each other scarce three hours out of
twenty-four ; consequently it was impossi
ble for thent to disagree. But the season
was soon over and they returned to their
quiet hOme—the place of all others to study
it wife or husband. There is ono unnatural
excitement— no fashionable Mrs. A. to out •
dress, no profligate Mr. B. to outdo in.
squandering money ; no ono to see, to please
but the • other half.'
After a season of long continued lately
there necessarily follows one of extreme
dullness ; and when one is dull one ie eaa
were both remarkabiy dull, and ae a matter
of course; both were greatly displeased.
It was their third da at home upon

it commenced reither could clearly tell. It
is oply knotrh - that Strahan expressed a de-
Sire to dine upon roast beef, upon which
Mrs. S. said she abominated beef, and would
have roast turkey and oyster sauce. He'd
have beef or nothing.' She'd have turkey,
and thus coninutnced the war of the Sus
hans. One ordered the Butler not to have
fowl, the other gave strict instructions not
to have beef, while Mre. S. visited her friends
and partook of turkey. .
After supper Dr. S. gave a wine supper
