TIIK IIUIFTING BOAT.
It had floated away from tho beach and buoy,
Out of sight of toner nnd town,
An empty and battered boat,
And that boat would not go down,
Iho morning roso on tho waters wide,
And tho night fell cold and dark,
Yet ever on with tho wind and tldu
Drifted that battered bark,
Tho sail had passed from its broken most,
And Its painted prldo was dim)
The soft seaweed hung round Its bows,
Which bad been so sharp and trim.
Where woro tho merry mates and frco
Who had gone w 1th It nlloat,
Wo never learned i but tho world's wide sea
Until lives like that drifting boat;
Lives that In early storms have lost
Anchor and sail and oar,
And never, except on Lethe's shore,
Can come to moorings moro j
Out of whoso loiotess, trustless days,
1 he hope and tho heart have gone
Good ships go down In stormy seas,
But those empty boats drift on I
They had hearts to sail In tho wind's eye once i
They had hands to reef and steer,
With a stretch that would not yield to chanco
And a faith that knew no fear ;
But tho years were long and tho storms were strong
And the rainbow flag was furled,
And they that launched for tho skl03 have grown
But the driftwood of the worl I,
AN Old) MAX.
The hour far spent, tho harvest In,
Ho goes serene along his ways,
Blrsscd with tho sunshine that befalls
Tho Indian summer of his days.
A dear old man, whom all men love,
Who loves all men and round whoso head,
As round the brows of ancient saints,
The silver locks of nimbus shd.
Just as the sun comes sifting through
Tho vlolot vapors on tho hills,

Miscellaneous.
ONE SUMMElt.
Illanche stood on tho pinzza playing with
her fun and watching for the stage, upon tho
arrival of which hung a great many possi
bilities. It might bring her letters, it might
bring somebody to enliven the house, which
was growing fearfully dull with nobody but
ladies in tho parlors, putting their heads
together over crocheting and embroidery.
Since tho last chance for flirtation had van
ished with his valisoovcr the Jed'eraon road,
there had been comparatively nothing in the
way of excitement. Tho train was half an
hour late, as it usually is at tho Gorhnm
station, and the sunset was burnishing tho
slopes of Jlouitt Jloriah and tho Imp.bring
iug out tho strong shadows which had all
day been lurking about them, while a tender
young moon looked through the fringes of n
purplo cloud that hovered over tho Pilot
rango. Just as tho stago appeared over the
littlo bridge below tho housp, Jlr. Jlathews
carried Illancho olT for agamo of whist, and
sho failed to see tho tall gentleman who
alighted from tho coach and went in to tea.
In fact, she had almost forgotten tho proba
bilities of Saturday night in tho excitement
of a revoke on the part of her purblind
partner, in virtue of which their opponents
wete claiming three of their hard-won tricks
when Clara Clew bailed into the room brim
ful of it.
"Oh, girls," sho cried, "he's comol"
"Who, for mercy's sako?" in a chorus.
"Tho Great Jlogul, I guess."
"Don't keep us in buspense," said lllanche,
"Wo are out by honors, at any rate, in spite
of your tricks."
"Shall I open tho door for you?" asked
Jlr, Jlathews, gallantly.
"Do tell us about it, Clara" pleaded Kalo
Turner. "Is he young? Does he look ilirta
tiou?" "Well, I dropped my fun at his feet
entirely by accident, you know and lie
picked it up with such an air and smile
that"
"You wero ready to drop there yoiir
Belf?" "Nonsense," cried lilanche, "Clara is
teasing us. It's only Jlrs. liell's husband,
or borne slippered Pantaloon or raw school
boy, depend upon it. Docs ho wear a
moustache, Clara, or a scratch?"
"Judge for yourself," answered that giddy
girl ; and looking up, Illancho caught it
glance fioin the eyes of Jlr. Langthnrne
dark, persunsivo eyes, with a worel of mel
ancholy in their depths, which tho smiling
mouth with its dimpled chin denied,
Jlr. Mathews laid elowu his cards and
pushed back his chair hastily, "Langlhorne,
my dear fellow how aro you?" lie cried.
"Glad to see you here. JIako yourself at
home, Here, let mo introduco you to tho
ladies Jliss Clew, JHss Turner, Jlrs. Krel,
Won't you take a hand at whist? Oh, par
don 1 Jlr. Laiigthorne, let me present you
to Jliss lllanche, Jliss lilanclio Deahler a
rival of Polo and Cavendish at whist, let me
warn you,"
Mr Langthorno graciously availed Iilm
tell o' Jlr. Jlathews' generosity and be-
-..io Jlaneho's rs-a-n'n.
"I'm only hero for n few days," he Hnid,in
passing, "Think I shall go onto tho Wnum
bck, or tho Glen, uext week,
Jlr. Laiigthorne went to the Glen tho next
week, but not nlono j ho and Jliss Deshler
drove over In tho sundown, while tho rest of
tho party followed in a mountain wugon.
Tho ragged Pea-boddy river loitered along
by their tide over its rocky bed, and tho
mountains seemed to chnssez and waltz from
ono hand to tho other, as tho road wound
aloug, while tho dim delicious woods shut
them in hero only to open there and show
tho grand outlines of tho everlasting hills
shining in tho early sunlight.
That very morning Clara Clew had said,
while they wcro dressing, "what an oppor
tunity for ilirtation tho Cascades and tho
G.'eu JCllia Palls atlbrd! Hero you go up,
up,, up, und there you go down, down, down,
anil hero it is slippery as death uud thero
you need a strong hand that holds you tight;
and perhaps you lean over a ledge, just to
frighten sonio one, ami a tender una snatches
you away, ami tender eyes icproach you I
Hcigli, lio I I wish I wcro going in the nun
down 1"
'"You slllglrl I I should think you had
already been there," laughed lllaticho. Hut
sho found it pretty much asCIaraliad depicted.
Mr. Langthrono went to tho Wnutnbck
too, but not as he had prospected. He and
Illancho had saddle horses for tho occasion,
nnd lingered nt pleasure, now watching the
silver Israel river tumbling down a distant
steep, as If bent upon touching up the scene,
and anon tho haymakers lu tho Jell'erson
meadows, with the shadowy hills and prime
val forests (or background, companioned all
tli o while by glimmering peak and neighbor
ing scarp, about which sunbeams and clouds
wrought magic, while all tho moods and
colors ol the passing hours lent themselves
to tho effect. There had been a masquerade
at tho Waumbck House tho night before,
nnd the pillars of tho verandah wero draped
with evergreen, nnd tho balustrade of the
staircase was decked with golden rod, and
the young ladies in tho parlors wero talking
ovei the last night's disguises and surprises,
and playing snatches of tho wedding
march.
"I do not see any one I know here," said
Jlr. Laiigthorne, making tho tour of parlors
and verandahs with lllanche on his arm. "I
expected ." Hut what hn expected did not
transpire. What a rido homo It was, with
the sunset retouching tho pictuic, with
twilight stealing upon them, bringing its
pensive stars when they sang stanzas of
old songs together, and quoted the poets they
loved best, and talked no end of pleasant,
familiar nonen?o 1 When they returned
Clara Clew was lounging on tho piazza,
illancho retired to change her riding dress,
and Jlr. Lmgtliorno gavo Clara his arm for
a promenade.
"And what liavo you been doing with
yourself, Jliss Clew?" ho asked, idly.
"Little or nothing," she returned. "lint
there's no need to ask what you've been do
ing, jrr. Langlhorne. Prenoz garde. What's
that old saw about playing witlt fire ?"
"Old saws havo blunt teeth. You mean
about the burned chifd, eh? I haven't been
even scorched."
"Nor 'shriveled in a fiuitlcss fire ?' The
pitcher goes often to tho well."
"You mix your metaphors, I'm at a loss
to determine whether you consider mo a
child or a pitcher."
"It's plain you've been talking nonsense
all day, Jlr. Langlhorne. Put isn't Blanche
just splendid 1 She lias no end of lovers,
you know. Perhaps sho has talked to you
about Tristram Pennon, the witch 1"
"Never. Pray tell mo about him. Islie
interesting?"
"Plancho seems to think so ; there's an
understanding between them, you know."
"Indeed ?" and then there was a call for
a Virginia Keel, and Langthorno and Clara
joined the dance.
Tho next morning brought new guests
Among them was a plain young lady and
her mother, the last of whom shook hands
with Jlr. Jlathews like an old acquaintance,
and walked directly to the oflico to inspect
the register.
"Ask them not to take off my trunks,"
said she, turning to Jlr. Jlathews in somo
trepidation. "I bliall proceed btraight to
the Glen."
"iiut, my dear madam," he expostulated,
"take your dinner iirst ; it is never wise to
decielo upon any step on any empty
stomach."
"What, and Langthorno here! Jly dear
Mr. Jlathews, how little you know mo I"
"Iiut allow me to say that you havo noth
ing to fear from Jlr. Langthorno."
"Nothing to fear! how littlo you know
him ! Hasn't ho made my life a burden for
tho la-t eighteen months? Don't I know
that he is a miserable fortune-hunter, who
has bewitched my precious Isabella with
his heartless wiles, so that sho won't look at
any other man, gentle or Bimple ? Enough!
don't talk to me about Langthorno 1 1 verily
believe he is ubiquitous."
"Jly dear friend," pursued Jlr. Jlathews,
"he is at this moment nt tho summit of
Jlount Hayes with a party of ladies. Pol
low mo to tho north tide of tho piazza and
you will see the blaze they have kindled
thero to boil their coffee ; see, a trifle to the
left, Jlrs. Vcxer. And now let mo whisper
to you that he is head and ears in lovo with
the lady at whoso feet ho is possibly sitting
at this instant,"
"An heiress, no doubt?''
"Yes, and a beauty to boot. To tell you
the truth, I havo a weakness for Langthorno
myself, in common with the young ladies, I
do not believe him the mercenary wretch who
would marry fur money without loving."
"Put Isabella is plain, it sho is my daugh
ter, and I.iingthwne loves beauty."
"Every wouinn has her own little attrac
tions, and a plain faco is sometimes more
attractive than positive loveliness, which is
apt to pull on the taste. Jladame Do Stacl
was no beauty, ou remember."
"Put Isabella is not even a Jladame Do
Stael. You will not convince mo of Lang
thnrnei's disinterestedness. You havo gone
over to the enemy, I am feorry to see,"
"Stay j instead of that, I have espoused
your cause so heartily that I sent for Lang
thnrne to como hero myself, trusting to the
charms of Jliss Deshler, who was dying of
ennui ; and let mo tell you that tho spell has
worked ; every or.n in the house is remark
ing it. Now let me suggest that if you wish
to destroy Isabella's regard for him let her
remain and seo him make love to another
wo num. Nothing could be more efl'ectual,
bellevo me."
"Thero is reason in what you say. It will
bo a fearful ordeal for tho dear girl, but bit
ter tilings uro wholesome, und "
"It will pay;" laughed Jlr. Jlathews ;
"and then Capt. Dcsparel is coming to-morrow,
and you will agree with me that ho Is a
match font queen. And did he not waltz
four consecutive times with your plain Isa
bella at Jlrs, Huhl'ii last reception in Jlay?
and Bend her a bouquet of Parma violets
next day? and a string of milky umber from
Pome toon alter ?"
And Jlrs. Vexer allowed Jliss Truth to
conduct her to a room.
One would havo said It was an exceeding
ly well-bred party that met at breakfast next
morning, inasmuch us no shade of turprlso
was visible on the countenance of either
Langthorno or Jliss Vcxer as they bowed
across tho table and exchanged a few com
monplaces, Jlrs, Vexer observed with
pleasure that tho hutichoino Jliss Deshler
was Lungthoriie's neighbor, u situation
eminently favorablo for flirtation ; nnd sho
was not surprised ut Isabella s luck of ni
petite, nor at tho Increasing i nllor, which,
Dy no Means, became her style.
"Tliptf toll inn lmrn "'in u-iM in l,,r ilinVi. f
tor later, "that Jlr. Laiigthorne ha? stir
rendered that tough muscle, his heart, to tho
fascinations of Jliss Deshler. You see, my
love, what his protestations wero worth !"
As Jlr, JLttliews predicted, Captain Des-
pard arrived in tho morning train ; and as
ho was ono of thoso genial men who carry
sunshine- nnd good humor wherever they
move, and was backed by a handsome faco
and fortune. Jlrs. Vexer resigned herself to
her easy chair n'id her crocheting, confident
that ho was capahlo of sootiiing the smart
that Langthortie's behavior had Inflicted, by
his courtly and well-timed attention. At
first she remarked that Isabella was palo and
distrait, but by degrees this gavo place to
an unwonted flow of spirits on her part; bIic
corruscateil with gayety, which mado her
almost beautiful in spite of features that
lacked symmetry and eyes that lacked
color. Jfrs. Vexer made sure that pride
had come to her daughter's aid, and van
quished every tender sentiment fur Laiig
thorne, and sho flattered herself that Cap
tain Dcspard's attentions would not be
wasted, coming nt this crisis, when wounded
alTection required tho soluco that nothing
but love could olfcr, and Jlrs. Vexer gave
herself credit for having made a bold stroke
in staying at Oorham and fighting it out in
tho teeth of her adversary.
To Illancho Decider tho days seemed only
half long enough for the pleasure that over
flowed them, To be sure, now that the House
wa full of young people, there wero fewer
solitary drives and rides with Laiigthorne;
hut thero were giddy waltzes with him in
the dancing hall, and psalm-lnging Sunday
evenings from tho same book in the north
parlor, and stolen half hours on the moon
lit piazza, with Jiounts JIadison and Adams
hanging like petrified clouds over tho brow
of Jlount Carter. "You knew Jii-s Vexer
before," sho onco said, as they promenaded
through the'longhall and piazzt. "Sho was
so pain and sad-eyed that I '.thought her
really plain when she first arrived, do you
know ; but Captain Despard, seems to have
developed her capabilities."
Just then, in the shadows of the verandah
a rustle of silk and a perfume of san iel
wood swept by them nnd Laiigthorne stooped
to pick up n bit of white cambric that flut
tered to his feet.
"Your handkerchief, Jliss Vexer," he said
quite coldly, and pas-eel on.
"How did you know lfer In tho dark?
The captain can't be far olf," whispered
lilanche,
"Dear me I" said Clara Clew the next
night, in the full swing of Portland Pancy,
"Jliss Vexer ought to cultivate her muscle ;
she hasn't enough to enable her to hold fast
her tfoods and chattels, I,mtrthorne lias
just picked up her fan. S -e, he's reading
tho precious autographs upon it. Why
dosen't he add a pretty sentiment'.'"
"What should it be? queried Clara's part
ner. "Jly heart is another's, and never can be
yours ? or, a thing of beauty is a joy for
ever 1"
"Por shame !" siiid Clara. "Handsome
is that handsome docs. Wo can't till bo
beautiful ; some of us mint be good in
stead."
That evening, after Illancho hil taken
down her hair, sho missed the gold scorpion
with which sho looped tho folds of her pol
onaise. She had strolled with Laiigthorne
and the others by moonlight through the
undcrpath after the dunce had ended, and
divining that it must have fallen out there,
she decided to riso early and go out to seek
it, without awaking Clara. Accordingly,
the next morning, while tho sun and the
mists lay in ragged patches on tho hills, sho
tiptoed out through tho vacant rooms awl
the deserted piazza, retracing her steps of
the previous night, lilaucho had gained tho
hill, and was sauntering along the edge of
tho wood that bordered it,when shq detected
a rustling among tho fallen boughs and a
gush of voices,and looking over her shoulder
into the hollow below, she saw two lovers
strolling down the dried bed of an ancient
brook, made picturtsquo by time's fantastic
touches and the flickering light that flecked
the mossy path with leafy shadows. As she
gazed after them, puzzled by something fa
miliar, they paused and embraced lingering-
ly. Then he was out of sight with a bound,
und hastening home by tho railway track,
whilo his sweetheart walked slowly on alone
by tho undcrpath, singing softly as she
walked,
"What a pretty picture!" thought lilanche.
"The captain must bo desperately in love, to
leave his pillow at this hour, when ho has
the day belure iiim ;" for in parting the girl
had half turned, and revealed tho lace of
Isabella Vcxer. "I must tell Jlr. Lang
thorno about it. Surely the early bird
catches Iho worm and sometimes it is a
glow worm."
Sho drove to the village after breakfast
with Langthorno for some shopping. They
had the stage all to thcmstlvcs, and, true
enough, she painted tho picture us she hud
seen it, uud Langthorno laughed heartily,
and said, "Stolen sweet, ycu know, Jliss
Deshler."
There was an evening party tollcrlinl'alls,
when tho next moon waxed full, along the
banks of tho capricious river over which tho
mists wero curling in weird outlines, as if
tho spirits of the stream wero abroad. The
falls themselves wcro wreathed iu their own
spray .spanned by a lunar rainbow, and over
shadowed by great clouds of vapor, like
half guessed shapes of genii ; and strolling
over tho slippery rocks iu thut deceptive,
half-luminous atmosphere which almost
blinded one, somebody stretched out u hand
to lllanche, and held her fast lu two arms
foruu instant, whispering, "Darling, havo
pity on me ! Let it be to-morrow, Delhi!"
Por tho first breath sho had believed that
Laugthorno's arms imprisoned her ; that tho
old, old story was ou his lips. Then sho was
half ungry with herself ut the thought, nt
tho thrill it gave her, though she laughed as
she slipped awuy, saying, "You have mis
taken your audience, Captain Dcspard. It
is Isabella's Shetland shawl that has misled
you. She put it over my shoulders when
wo alighted uh, woe's thoday! because I
shivered." Ami Miss Vexvr's lover boicd
and retreated,
So tho weeks woro on ; it was cither a
pie-iiie to the Leadmluo Itidge, or u morn
ing with tuo echo ly tho liver, or nu lifter-
noon at the bowling alley ; evenings spent
In the dunce or lu flirtations long drawn out,
ou tho verandah ; and as surely as Dcspard
attended Isabella just so surely I.augthorno
waited by the side of Dluuche, nnd lent the
hours wngs,aud mado tho shadows rcsplcud
ent, and gavo a silver lining to every
cloud.

"It's such fun." nald Clara Clew, "to seo
jrndamo Vcxer, the old harridan ; she never
lets Isabella out of her sight If she knows It,
and sho watches Langthorno a ft cat watches
a mouse. I'm suro Delia's no uclt beauty
that she need think every man in the houo
is at her feet "
"Why should sho watch Langthorno,
pray?" asked lllanche, securely.
"Heaven knows! I fancy sho hates him,
perhaps because doesn't make eyes at Isabel
la ! Do you mind how sho 'always wcuges
herself In when we nro off for a pic-nlc, no
matter whose clothes nro jammed? I went
to the last one, lu spito of neuralgia, just
to oblige her to stay behind. There was
jut room for otic more, ami sue was nu
ready with her bonnet on. How slio must
havo blessed mo I She's as good as a piny ;
and I wonder Captain Depard doesn't see
through her ; sho throwing Isabella at his
head ail the time."
"Ami ho returns a kiss for a blow, eh,
Clara?" and then lilanche snulied out the
candle, lllanche had a headache next day,
which confined her to her room. Clara
Clew, the Turners, Captain Dcspard, and
.Mrs. Vcxer had gone up Jlount Washington.
Luigthorno had joined a hunting party the
previous day, and was after a bear whose
tracks tliey had found on Jlount Hayes, or
Jlrs. Vexer would never havo consented to
leave Isabella, who offered a cold as nn ex
cuse for not miking ouo of tho excursion
ists. When they came clattering home,
singing through tho twilight, lllanche crept
down stairs to welcome them. It must be,
she thought that Langthrono had returned
and was waiting for her on the piazza. How
beautiful the far stars were, palpitating
abovo the Pilot range, and tho mist on
Junt Surprise shining liko hoar-frost !
What an illuminated page in her history
had this summer at Gorham furnished ! Dut
Miss Aurora and her sister Truth were alone
on the piazza, lending a helping hand to
their returning guests.
"Where is my daughter, JIUs Aurora?"
was Mrs. Vexer's first cry.
"My daughter, oh, my daughter I" quoted
Clar.i Clew, r.siJe.
"Miss Isabella? Oh, Drown carried her
and her bag over to Slielburn'e this afternoon
directly after dinner, in the sundown," an
swered Jliss Aurora.
"To Shclburne ! And her bag! Willi her
cold !"
'She wanted to meet a friend there, sho
said ; and she asked mn to tell you not to
look for her back to-night, so that you need
n't wnrrv !''
"Needn't worry, indeed 1" and Jlr. Vex
er moved away in dudgeon.
"Oh, sharper than a serpent's tooth I" put
in Clara Clew. "Pray, Jliss Truth, hasn't
Mr. Laiigthorne killed hisbearyct? I should
think it hud nine live. I anticipate J bear
steak for breakfast."
"I guess you needn't worry about him.
Ho came back about four this afternoon, and
there was a telegram that camo for him
about an hour after Jliss Vcxer left ; and I
helped him pack his things, he was iu such
a tearing hurry, and he took the down train.
Oh, you here, Jliss Deshler? How's your
head? Won't you have soma tea?"
"I'm all right, thanks," said Dlanche.
"Isn't Jlr. Langthorno coining back?"
pur sued Clara.
"He didn't say, and I didn't ask him," an
swered Jliss Truth, jocosely. "I dare say
Jliss Deshler there can tell you. Ho paid
his bill, and we shan't have to send for him
unless you request it, Jliss Clara."
"Which I shall do when the moon turns
to green cheese," said Clara.
Dut all at once the lovely outlines of the
hills, the stars that leaned earthward, tho
mists that glimmered upon the slopes, wero
blurred ami blotted by the tears that gather
ed in two dark eyes.
''You and I aro widowed to-night," said
Captain Despard, letting tho flamo of tho
match ho struck to light his cigarette shine
on her tears an instant, "Let us bo misera
ble together. Tho night time is for a sea
son ; but joy cometh in the morning," he
said, solemnly.
"It looks exactly as if you'd refused
Langthnrne," declared Clara at bed time.
"I don't take any stock in that telegram,
and I've always heard you were a flirt." Dut
Dlanche's face was hidden iu her pillow,
and the darkness was friendly to her bor
row. Half a dozen ladies were hovering over
tho cheerful blaze in the parlor next day
for the mornings were growing chilly, when
Jliss Aurora brought in the mall bag. Jhs.
Vcxer was straining her eyes to catch sight
of her returning daughter ; Kato Turner was
counting stitches in a slipper; Illanclie was
reading a novel upside down ; whilo Des
pard and Clara Clew were guessing puzzles
and conundiuros.
"Letters for Jliss Deshler, JINs Clew and
Jlrs. Vcxer," cried Jliss Aurora.
"Por me I" exclaimed Jlrs. Vexer, tear
ing it open, "and from Isabella I What
does it mean ?" Sho ran her eyes over it ha
tily, and lifted them to Dlanche's face, which
was hidden behind a bhect of paper that
trembled visibly.
"I seo that you havo a letter, too, Jliss
Deshler; I prcsumo that ono explains the
other. We will exchange, if you please,"
said Jlrs. Vcxer, loftily.
lllanche roso and staggered to the fire ;
then sho seemed to reconsider, nnd turned,
saying, "Perhaps you ought in justice to
see it first, Jlrs. Vexer, because because it
exonerates Jlr. Langthorno in part; nnd
these aro all friendly pcoplo here, or mean
to be."
"You maybe surprised at my sudden de
parture without saying ndlcu, my dear Jliss
Deshler," it reads, "but I feol certain thut

wife says you ought to bo ashamed of your
self; but that carpet comes up. Then you
lift one side of tho stove and your wife tries
to get the carpet from under it, but cannot,
because you aro standing on it. So you try
a new hold, and just after your back breaks
the carpet is clear. You are not through
yet. Your wife don't tell any more littlo
stories, but intimates that the carpet needs
whipping. When you hang the tormenting
thing on the line the wrong way and have it
slide off into tho mud and get half a pint of
dust and three broken tacks into your mouth
you make an observation which you failed
to mention whilo in the house. Then you
hunt a stick and go for that carpet. The
first blow hides tho sun behind a cloud of
dust, and right in tho center of that cloud,
you wield that cudgel until both hands aro
blistered. You can whip tho carpet a longer
or shorter ppriod according to the size of
your mad, as it don't mako any difference to
the carpet, for it is juit as dusty and fuzzy
after you have whipped it two hours as it
was when you commenced. Then you bun
dle it up and stumble into tho house nnd
have more trouble with tho stove, and fail
to find any way of using the carpet stretcher
whilo you stand on tho carpet, and fail to
find any placo to -stand off tho carpet, and
you get on your knees again.while yourwifo
holds the saucer and, with blind confidence,
hands you broken tacks crooked tacks
tacks with no leathers tacks with tho lar
gest ends at the points. Fnally the carpet is
down, your wife smiles sweetly, and Bays she
is glad the job is off her mind,

When the seals havo reached tho killing
ground they aro allowed a certain time to
rest and cool, after which about ono hundred
are driven together into nn inclosure, ar.d
the fittest aro selected for slaughter. Tho
others are allowed to go down to tho nearest
water, whence they at once mako their way
back to the sea. Tho instrument of destruc
tion is a long club of hard wood, with which
the animals are struck a violent blow on the
head. One is usually sufficient. A long,
sharp knife is then thrust into tho vitals ami
the carcass laid aside, and so on until about
ono thousand havo been slain, when tho
work of skinning commences. When taken
off, the skins nro salted, and sent home In
that condition. On arrival hero they aro
properly cured and then comes the prepara
tion needed fur their conversion into what Is
popularly called "seal-skin." It is difficult
to conceive how that beautiful nrtielo of
dross can ever bo manufactured nut of tho
very unattractive object tho skin presents nt
this juncture. It i hard nnd unyielding as
n board, and tho stiff, coarse hairs cover tho
fur so completely that its very existence
might be unsuspected. In the trado n full
aged male is called n"wigj" a female, "clap
match ;'' males not quite so old, "bulls ;"
tho half-grown of both sexes, "yearlings ;"
tho young of nearly a vear old. "trrav" m
'silvered pups ;" and before their coats aro
changed to this shade, "black pups," The
problem to he solved is how to separate tho
under fur. Por many years each individual
hair was plucked out severally, nt, of course,
n vast expenditure of time and money, until
a lucky nocldent revealed to tho dressers the
fact that the roots of tho hair were more
deeply seated than thoso of tho fur. Now,
therefore, after preliminary preparation, the
skins aro laid hnir dswnwnrd upon n wood
en block with a curved surface, nnd pnred
(town with a knife until tho roots or tho hair
have been cut through, and tho skin Is very
little thicker than a kid glove. All (ho
coarser hair can then bo brushed off with
the hand, leaving tho fur, which is then seen
to bo arranged in small curls, of a light
brown color, varying slightly In shitde in the
dlfl'ercnt parts. In consequence nearly all
"senl-skiu" is dyed before It is sold, nnd in
the process of dyeing the curls untn 1st them
fcclves, and tho fur becomes smooth nnd
ready for tue. Tho profits mado in denlintf
In furs must bo worth having. Tho value cf
