Still many stories arc afloat, and some boldly state, That Jonah went to fish for whales, and used himsr-lf for bait ; That trying hard to cheat the fish, himself was taken in ; In fact, "eternally chewed up," in pay ment for his sin. Hut let it here suT.ice to say. such stories are not t rue ; So here we leave the old account and has ten to the new. Now Jonah was a li.-herman of credit and renown, Who owned a vessel long :go in old Nan tucket town. A member of the church was he, and else an ho:iu:it man. Though of. his spiiits he refreshed with spirits from the can. He us. d to go on voyages, a h-shing after whali s ; And il.ey c liied him profit Jonah for his pioihablc s.dcf. T' .

And made the whale feel very queer, ami very qneerly act ; It swallowed lots "of ocean brine to take away the taste, vYhieh nearly drowned the captain in its dreadful watery vva.-te. The saline water didn't make plain sailin' for our friend. Who, like the seasick whale, but wished his troubles at an end. The mighty creature swam for leagues in anguish ami despair, And took no not.ee of its course in fact it didn't care, Its inner life tormented it, aud occupied its mind ; It only wished for ease again, and that it couldn't lind. Live captain didn't, suit its taste ; it licked its victuals raw, And in a pretty pickle was the inmate of its maw. At last it reached Nantucket, and there it ran aground Just opposite the skipper's house, and then relief it found, A mighty shock the creature felt in strik ing on the strand. And it thtevv up its commission, all square upon dry land. A few tremendous flops it gave, and then again was free, ; And with a wondrous grin of joy it disap peaied at sea.

The Vosemite Falls of California, are no doubt the highest in America, j The water makes three distinct leaps j from the summit to the ledge before, j reac hing the !el of the stream below, j Not far from the head of these falls, j and nearly concealed from the view of i any passer-by on account of the thick j trees which grew around it, stood a j cabin of logs at the time of which we i write, ten years since. It was early one cold winter's morn ing that the master of this cabin, in company with his dog were returning from a hunt. They had been absent during the entire night, and now, just as daylight was dawning, they were approaching a. home where they felt sure of a hearty welcome. The man, as he broke through the thicket in view of his cabin, paused, and gazed atten tively upon it for a moment. Then he threw the buck he carried on his shoulder upon the snow, and shaking his head, hi; muttered : "1 don't know that anything is wrong her.:, but 1 don't fe '1 jut right." At the same moment the dog ran toward the dwelling, and then, return ing to his master, uttered a low growl. The man appeared very uneasy, but lie hastened forward toward the cabin doer. JBefore he had reached it, a wo man appoare.l. It was plain to see that she had been weeping, and she was very pale. "Aly (iod, Nancy! what has hap pened I"" he in piired almost breatii i -s. "J5e calm, Ma.k, he calm !"' was the trembling response. 'Hut tell me what has happened ?" The ipiestion was scarci ty asked be fore a second face appeared at the cabin door.

"It was to learn if the woman who calis 3 0U husband sus-aois v on in your .villainies, and if she did not, or was ignorant of them, to let her know the tnith. I " "ie careful what you say, Philip Park." exclaimed Mark, hall raising iiis riiie. The inher observed this and. said : 'Alark, I should lie sorry to do you harm, but I know you. i n your pres ence T shall relate a!i to Nancy I will ! not call her your wife, for she is equal ly mine and -site shall decide between lis." "She has already decided.' "Yes, but your a.-ts have rendered thr.t decision void ; they have render ed a second necessary. Now, Mark, heed what I ay. As at first, so will I abide by Nancy's decision now. JJut i must it'll her ail. and if I see you at tempt to pkice your hand upon that riih', ii self-defence I'll send a bullet through your head the instant you do so." 'Coon with vour questions and you lies." "Nancy," said Dick fixing his eyes upon her, "what reason did Mark give for bringing you to this part of the country 1'" "Oh Philip, yon know that when 1 made my decision, live years ago, 1 told you that you possessed my love, but that Mark had the claim of duty from me." 'T remember well, and I resigned yon, so that your duty might be per formed." "Von did." "Well, answer my question." "Mark told me that he wished to be far away from you, because you pos sessed my love. And so I came here with him." "Von thought me ,$till alive, in St. Louis."' "1 tlid.'-'r "You never believed that Mark would harm me ?" " certainly could not think so." "Then listen while 1 repeat all the past. Some portions you are familiar with, and some you are not. But you shall have it all."" "I listen." "Six years ago I formed your ac quaintance, Nancy. I believed you to be a widow, and as such loved, won, and married you. I had a right to le lieve th.it you were a widow, for the proof of your first husband's death appeared positive. Put, in a few months after our marriage, Mark Webb, your first husband, returned. There must now be a decision made. You believed your duty bound you to Mark, for the absence did not arise from his own fault. Put you confess ed that I held your love. I thought as you di(l, that your first marriage w as the binding one, and at once I con sented to forego all claims upon you. More than this, 1 resolved to leave the country, in order that my presence might not cause you unhappiness. Could I do more than this ? "Put how did Mark act ? I will tell you. lie hated me because you loved me; and one night he met me in a lonely place, and, as he thought, drove a dagger to inv heart." "Oh, heaven !" "Believing that he had murdered me, he left the country for fear of de tection. That is the reason he brought you here." "Oh, this is terrible." "For a long time after receiving the wound, I lingered on the verge of the grave. But I recovered at last, and the n set about looking for vou. I have found you." "And now that you have found her. what do you intend doing?" said Mark, in a surly manner. "I will tell you. Nancy became my wife, and I loved her. But 1 would not see her dishonored. I resigned her because I thought you would be .1 generous and true husband to her. But you became at once a murderer and deceiver. So I came to ask my wife for I am the true husband now if she will tro with me V "Well, ask her." "She hears my question. Will you answer it, Nancy "Mark," said the woman, turning her pale face toward lu'm, "speak, and deny this terrible accusation."' "1 won't do it." ' Can y a do it 1'"' "Of course, if I cou'.d I would." "but his Philip sp-.kin truly V "Kvi rv word of t ruth." ' Oh. Mark ! is it possible ?" "It is true, 1 teli you. Po you think 1 "11 let a sec did i i u s ban. 1 of yours live in the same world w'eh me? And that, especially after you have declared that Vo.i loved 111111? No! You must think that 1 am a fool, in deed." "But he does live." "I know it. But he and myself can't live long." "You sarely would not a second time t y to take his iile?" "1 tell yon, he and 1 can't both live. Of course, you wool. 1 decide for him 1" "1 s!i:dl never, knowingly, be the willing wife of one v. ho has murder iu his In art." "I thought so. Now, Philip Dark, how do you propose to die':"' "What do you mean ?" asked Dark. "1 mean that we must light. (ill! I won't stab you in the dark. But we must light in such a manner that it v ill be certain death to one of us an I most likely to both. Will you igi't me as 1 propose, provided the chances are e jual ?"' "No; I won't fight you at all." "Are vou a coward 1'"' "Nol"' "Then why will you not light ?" "Because Nancy needs the protec tion of some better man than a mur derer. A duel is a game of chance, and I might be the bcr. In thai event, she would still lo left to you." "She w II have -nothing to do with me, anyway. Is not that the case, Nancy ':' "It is." "And you wih be his wife ?" "If he claims me as such." "And you, Philip Dark, will not fight me ?" "Not so long as another claims my protection." In an instant after a rifle shot echoed through the room, and, throwing up her arms with a shriek, Nancv fell back upon the floor, bleeding and struggling in the last gasp of death. Dark was so horror-stricken by this dreadful act that for an instant he stood speechless. Then he bent over the dying woman, never for an instant thinking of his own safety. He closed her eyes and pressed his lips to her brow"; he listened to the last faintly drawn breath, and then, for the first time, thought of himself. Turning he saw Mark stand near, gloating like a fiend upon him. Observing that the villian did not even retain his rifle in his grasp, he asked : "Whv did vou not kill me, Marl; Webb?" "Are von anxious to die ?" was the sneering response. "1 care not to live after witnessing such a deed." "Then I will give y u .1 chance for death. IL will be a doubly death for you." "What do you mean ?" "You died in of feet live years ago. You shall die again to-day." "How do Viu propose to kill me?" "I propose to fight, now that she no longer lives to claimyour affection. Will you fight me?" "Yes." "Enough. You have a knife in your belt that is all you want. 1 have the same. Co ne, follow me to death.'' "Where do you go ?" "To the head of the falls. Do you fear to foil vv ?" "I do u t. Bead oii." Mark tojk a coil of rope, probaUy h hundred feet in length, oil' a peg, and Ixire it with him. Beaching the ledge flanking the falls he affixed one end of the cord around the root of a tree. This done he started down the cliff. "Where are you going?" asked Philip, who had been watching him in silence. "To the opposite ledge, across; the falls You see, in order to reach it, that I must go to the base of the cat aract, cross the stream, and then as cend the other side." "What is your purpose?" ''M v purpose will soon develop it self." It was not long before the villian was standing upon the opposite ledge. The yawning gulf of two thousand feet was letween himself and foe, and the waters lashed the ragged rocks as it thundered over them. "That rope is already coiled," said Mark, speaking across. "Throw me the other end." This was done, and the line made fast upon the opposite side. A single cord now bridged that dreadful chasm. "Meet me in the centre of the rope bridge," said Mark. "We will light only with our knives." As he said this he began to advance. Philip Park did the same, and both men crept carefully toward each other, the rope bending fearfully beneath their weight. They were within ten feet of each other, when the courage of Mark began to fail him and he regretted the step he had taken. Why did he not kill his enemy at once and without incurring any danger to himself? But it was too late now ? No. He gazed into the eyes of Park. He saw determination ami absence of fear there, as he came slowly forward. He hesitated no longer, but drew a jiitol from his breast, and fired at his victim. Pol k waved to and fro, and. apna;vd ready to fall. Mark considered his triumph sure. But at that instant Dark raised Ids knife, and struck a desperate blow. The frail rope which sustained both men was severed in a twinkling ; and down went their bodies, whirling through t lea ful soace, while tne wail of the murderer aroo on the ail. mingling with the roar of the water. The poor dog. who felt not the hate which filled the breast of his master, was the only mourner, and most truly did he mourn, and that wiMiout am comforter, save time. (i.i,r; Up the Boy. The Dan bury Xev.-i says: Calling a boy up in the morning can hardly be classed under the head of "pastimes," espe cially if the boy is fond of exercise the day before. And it is a little singular that the next hardest thing to getting a boy out of bed is to get him into it. There is rarely a mother who is a suc cess at rousing a boy. All mothers know this is so ; so do their boys. And yet the mother seems to go at it in the right way. She op .'its the stair-door and insinuatingly observes: "Johnny." There is no response. John-;"." Still no response. Then theie is a short, sharp ".John," follow ed a moment later by a prolonged and emphatic "John Henry." A grunt from the upper regions signifies that an impression lias been made, and the mother is encouraged to add. "You'd better be getting down here to your breakfast, young man, before I come 11 1 there an' give you some thing you'll feel." This so startles the young man that he immediately goes to sleep again. And the opera tion has to be repeated several times. A father knows nothing about this trouble. He merely opens his mouth like a soda bottle ejects a cork, and the "John Henry"' that cleaves the air of that stair-way goes into that boy like electricity, and pierces the deepest recesses of his very nature. Ami lie pops out of that bed aud into his clothes, and down the stairs, with a promptness that is commendable. It is rarely a boy allows himself to dis regard the paternal summons. About once a year is believed to be as often as is consistent with the rules of health. He saves his father a great many steps by his thoughtfuiness. SiNon.AR Relationship. A friend who married a widow, explains as fol lows how he got mixed up in his rela tionship: I married a widow w.ho had a grown-up daughter. My father visit ed our house very often, and fell in love with mv step-daughter and married her. So my father became mv son-in-law and my step-daughter my mother, became she v.-as my father's wife. Some time afterwards my wife had a son (how is that for high?) he was mv father's brother-in-law and my uncle. for he was the brother of my step-mother. My father's wife, i. e., my step-daughter, had also a son; he was of course my brother, and in the meantime my grandchild, for lie was the son of my daughter. My wife was my grandmother, because she was my mother's mother. I was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time. And as the husband of a per son's grandmother is his grandfather, 1 was mv own grandfather. L1XA J'OSKJA.I.
