One overling a party of oM fcLip-mastcrs met at a pocial Fupjier. After th cloth was removed, and the wine began to cireu iate l'rerly, some of tltc ehler captains began eri'intiing yarns about their own ad ventures at sea. Among the number was Captain Sutter, as tine a man and good a tailor as ever trod a deck. It was ob sctved that lie drank nothing but water; and when it came his turn tocnteitain the Company with a story he began as follows?: Wei!, shipmates, to show you why I don't and can't drink with you, so that you won't take my retusal as a mark of col dness or disrespect, I will give you a chapter from the story of my early sailor life. It is a very important chapter, too, for tui the incident I am about to relate the whole of my subsequent manhood was built. 1 was very young when J first went to sea. When 1 was eighteen I was shipped on board an East Indiaman for a lonz voyage. Theie were six of us .on boaul, of about the same age, and we had about the same duties to peiform. Thu t-liy the old Lady Dunlop was a laree one, and our crew was large in proportion, l here being 52, all told. Oar Captain was ti nobie-hearled, honorable man, kind and generous, but yet very siiict. .tovv, we boys had learned, in the com se of our travels, to drink our grog as Weil as any sailors. When we could get on shore, we would inevitably indulge in our cups, and frequently would we come off in a state anything but sober. I said 'we ;" but thetc was one of our number who could not be induced to touch a drop ot anything intoxicating. His name was John Small. Now, John Small not c; ly refrained entirely from drinking ldmseif, but ho used sometimes to ask us to leave the i-tiil;' alone. II; gave that job up, how ever, tor we male such spoil of him that l.e was g'ad to let us al-.r.e. But our captain bad sharp eyes ; raid it was not long bt-tore he b"gan to fit aw Jack favor? v. h.ch he did not show to us. He would iteii take him oa shore with him to spen.l the night, and iji.h things as that, while we were kept on boaid the ship. That wasn't all lie learned taster than we did he was a better sailor, and had learned mote navigation. It had got so at length that Jack was cal.ed upon to take the deck sometimes, when the offi cers w.ie bosy ; and be used to work out the iecko:i::ig at noon as regai n ly as did the captain. Yet Jack was in our mess, and he was a constant eyesore. We saw that he was reaching rapidly ahead of us in every useful particular, and jet we wouldn't open our eyes. We were envi-. ous of his good ftii tune, as we called it, and used to seize every opuort unity to tease him. But he never" got angry in return. He sometimes, would laugh tit us, and at others ho would so feelingly chide us that we would remain silent for a while. At lergth the idea entered our heads that Jack should drink with us. We talked the matter over in the m.ss, when Jack was absent, and we mutually pledged each other that we would make him drink at the fust opportunity. After this de tenirnalit n was taken, we treated Jack mote kindly, and he was haj pier than lie had been lor some time. We were on our honiewat d-bouinl passage, by way of Bra zil, and our ship stoppid at Kio Janet io, where we were to remain a week or so. One pleasant mottling, we six young sters received pet mis.-ion to go on. shore and spend the whole day, tind aco.onimgiy we rigged up in our best togs and were carried to the lauding. Now was our cuanco, and we put our heads together to see how it could be , i .lack's vorv ("list ilosiie. hs snr.n i J ' as be pot cn shore, was to uo up and ex amine the vai ious things of interest in the city. lie wanted to visit the churches and such like places, and to please him we agreed to go with him if he would go imd take dinner with us. He agreed to tbis at once, and we thought we had him sure. We planned that after dinner was eaten, we would have some light, sweet wine brought in, and that we wjuld con trive to i-et ruin enoi;.h into what he . t,.ank to upset him, for nothing on earth ,nore l!lan lu S J , ,1t-unk , iind carry him on board in that . J c . , . . , condition. I nrn we lancieu the eaotain s favoiiiism would be at an end, and that he would no longer look upon our rival with more preference than upon ourselves. Dinner time came at length. It was a capital dinner, and we came to it with sharpened appetites. But when the wine was brought in Jack not only refused to taste it, but declined to remain in our I company. v e cried out against htm us a mean, stingy fellow, who tnought him self too good to associate with us, and accused him, at last, of trying to step over our heads on the ship, and till the unpleas ant things we could think of to make the poor fellow unhappy. At first he seemed to be inclined to leave us, and return to the ship alone ; but suddenly, in a quiet tone, he said : "Shipmates, listen to me a moment. Since mat tots have come to this pass, I have resolved to tell you some thing which 1 never meant to reveal. My story is short. From my earliest child hood I never knew what it was to have a happy home. My. father was a drunkard! Once he had been a good man and a good husband ; but rum ruined all his man hood, and made a brute of him. I cau teinembcr how cold and cheerless tho winter used to be. We had no fire, no clothes, no food, no joy, no nothing nothing but misery. Oh ! how my poor mother prayed to God for her husband ; and I, who could but prattle, learned lo pray too. "When I grow older I had to go out and beg for bread. All cold and shiver ing, I waded through the deep snow, with pledge which we made in Rio Janeiro. my clothes in tatters, and my freezing i We had all stuck to the sea, and were feet almost bate. I saw other children of ' then commanders of "ood" htps my own age dressed warm and eomforta- j That is my s'ory ; and new you know hie, and I knew they were happy ; for j why I can't drink with you, and, as I they laughed and sang as they bounded said, U first, will not take, my refusal as a along toward school. Those boys had i mark of disrespect or want of good-fcllow-sober fathers. I knew their fathers were ' shin. no better than mine had been once ; for my mother had told me how noble my father could be if rum were not in his way. "Timo passed cn, and I vas eight years old and those ciidit years had been years of uch sorrow atid sufleting as 1 pray God I may never again experience. A l length one cold morning in the dead of winter, my father was not at home. lie had not been at home through the night. My mother sent me to the tavern to see if I could find him. I had gone half the way when I saw something in the snow by the side of the road. I stopped and a sudden thrill ran through me, for it looked like a human foim. I went no to it and turned the head over and brushed . I i- .1 r- 1 . u.e snow noni me lace, it was ,ny father, and he was st.if and cold.

I cannot t li how my poor mother wept and groaned. She sank down upon her knees anil clasped that icy corpse to her heart, .as though she would have given it life from the warmth of her own breast. She loved her husband through ail his errors, and her love .was ail powerful now. The two men went away and hit lh dead body slid on the ilaor.

Let me go now, and J you may enjoy yourselves alone ; for I do not believe that you will again urge me to drink.' As Jack thus spoke he turned toward the door, but one of us stopped him. 'Hold on, Jack,"' said he, wiping his eyes. "You shan't go alone. I've got a mother, and I love her as well as vou love yours, and ycur mother shall not be happier than mine ; for I swear that she shall never have i drunken son. I'll drink no more !

Jack had our pledge and without speak ing he handed it to the captain, lie took it and read it, and his face changed its expression several times. At length, I saw a tear start to the caplain's eye. "Boys," he sai 1, as he folded .up the paper, "let me keep this, and if you stick to your noble resolution you shall never want a friend while I live." We let the captain keep the paper and when he had put it in his pocket, lie came and took us each in turn by the hand. lie was much affected, and I knew that the circumstance made hiui happy. From that day our prospects brightened. Jack Small no more had our" envy; for he took hold and taught us in navigation, and we were proud of him. On the next voy age we all sis rated as able seamen, aud received full wages, and we left not that lu.b'e hetu ted captain until we left to be come officers on board other ships. Jack Small is now one of the best mas ters in the world, and I believe that the rest of our party are still living, honored and respected men.

A few miles from my father's old farm there lived two well to-do farmers, whom we will call John and Calvin They were related by way of marriage, and were once great friends, but at ihe time my story commences they were most iuvelerate en emies. Their farms lay side by side on the country road, some few miles from the Androscoggin IJiver. For many years they cut their hay in silence, each one mowing down to the dividing line with the precision of a master mechsmie. Each owned a hundred rods, and throu-di a part of ihe meadow ran a brook, which, like most meadow brooks, was very vrook cd. Now, John thought it would be an ex cellent plan to ditch his one hundred r d, making the brook straight, and thereby saving much land, and making his fields more conv inirnt and productive. So he contracted with a man named Redman to dig one hundred rods of ditch at one dol lar per rod, beginning at the lower end of his fatm and following down the stream lo Calvin's line. Redman came, with his two grown up boys went merrily to work, and John made him a rod-pole. for the occasion ; but being of a ircai herous i disposition, he made the measure a dozen j inches longer than usual, that he muht i get a good return. In ibis he did not tail. ' Redman woihed diligently for some days. Calvin was interest--! in the oper- ! atioit, and catvlt.lly watched t lie proceed ings, often asking Redman how many tods he had accoinrdi-hed. and a! way getting at! honest reply. One d.-iy, sis he was i leaning upon his scythe, he called "I sav, Redman, hj.v many rods have ' vou got along f j "Eighty." "Eighty! wcii, 3ou':e ge'ling along- faSf."' ; Now, Calvin saw tit once that he was ; far too near his line for eighty rods, and, i musing cpt.-n the eirco instances, l.e ueci- dod there must be a mi-take. Knowing John so well, he began lo su-peei, as be ; considered t tie sul.j-ct farther, that John might be trying to defraud liedinan ; .-o dropping his scythe and crossing the line, he sat down near the tod-pole and took otl his h;t to ciad and rest himself. ; "1 say, Redman, this is hot weather." i "Yes." i While so sitting he took occasion to measure the pole which John had made, and to his delight he found it was just one j fjet too long. Here was ;i chance to j plague his enemy. Did he go .and tell ; Redman? No, not he. He laughed ; quietly in his sleeve, and waited for Red- ! man to finish his work. This was done, j and the honest digger presented to John ' his I i I for one hundred dollars, received : his money, and went his way. Very soon after this was accomplished, '. Calvin discovered, to his great tut prise and ! indignation of course, that some one had j been trespassing on his meadow by dig- ' ging a ditch about oir litimiraJ '.tl 'any, near the line which separated his laud ! i i from John s. Sending to John, ho de- j manded if that ditch was dug by his tin- j thosity. John, not suspecting any trouble, ; replied that it was. Receiving this an- swer, Calvin started at once for the town, ' Jind laid his case be'ote the village lawyer, who at once saw that John had commit-'! led a great wrong, known to the law as j ivii'f'uh'y trcsp.tsahuj on t.'ie I unl of t it' igh- 1 bar. A writ was accordingly made out, , and tho deputy sherilF of the county, so j much dreaded in those limes, soon made his sippearance before John, attached his j properly for the damage done Calvin's i hind, and summoned him lo appear and show cause. John was astonished. He visited the field, and saw sit a glance that the ditch it'trs over the lino, and now for the first time the awful i bought Hashed upon him that in making his rod-pole one foot too long lie had actually dug one hundred feet into Calvin's land. He stood auhasf, ami then hastened to find lhe rod pole, that lie might destroy the proof of his guilt, but it was not to be found. He could not understand where it had gone, but when be appeared in court, there that ghost of a rod -pole met his nsloni.-hed view, Ilo.v it came there none bat Cal- r viti knew, and he was silent. The case ! lija,e "e w " "" i was soon tried, and a verdict of guilty j ?'.,l,3" of l'e,d'jr' and tl,:U ,z lhe ton was rendered, with nominal damage and ! isc,t'"t"0- cost of court.

And yet mre was in store for him ! The long rod-pole was still kpt for another . "se, the worst of all. for now the church. j of w hich John had been, to all outward appearance, an exemplary member, took the case in hand, and expelled him from their communion and fellowship. Thus did the biter get Lit. Tims ?wiftly did ihe retributive justice of God overtake the poor cheat who secretly tried to rob a poor honest man of the fruits of Lis toil.
