"There She Blows!"
Down on Nantucket Island all the male
inhabitants aro seafaring men. They are
whalers, absent for years; at home only for
weeks. But during these brief intervals
from toil these hardy sons of the salt sea
tell over the dangers they have passed; the
hair-breadth escapes, when whales proved •
unruly or the wind blew great guns. The
boys listen with rapt attention and open
ears to these yarns, and inwardly resolve to
go on a whaling voyage when they get to
be men. The whole Island is oily and
nautical... Over all the female inhabitants
hangs a cloud of anxiety. Many a fond,
fearful wife lies wide awake and trembling ,
all night as she hears the wild wind sweep
ing down upon the island as if to carry it
from its mooring, and then off upon the
water lashing the waves into fury. Sher
thinks of the loved one fitr, far away, per
haps wrecked, or his bones bleaching upon
some desert coast. The duties of the cler
gymeh of the island are largely those of
visitation, to giie personal consolation to
these neptunian widows.
It was a sunny afternoon on Nantucket,
when Rev. Mr. Cheerful called upon Mrs
Bobstay. whose husband, au old whaler,
had just sailed for the "spermy city" of
the broad Pacific sea, Mrs. Bobstay was
low down in her mind, and required a
cheering word from the good now. On the
contrary, her son of eight years old, Jack
Bobstay by name, was full of nerve and
hope. The old man had filled his mind
with sea yarns sufficiently thrilling for a
dime utwel,.and the lad nightly dreamed of
spearing whales, reeling ice-planted sails off
the ever-boisterous Cape Horn, of "taking
in," "trying out," etc•.. all of which he had
heard his father talk and swear about.•--
Many an eighty barrel whale had Jack cap
tured while sleeping snugly in his little
bed, which his father had traced up ham
meek fashion.
Tne scene was a quiet one; the dominie
was earnest in his low words cf comfort

spread ocean which she could see stretching
away southward to where the good ship

on a little stool. sat drinking in the pic
tures of the -Pirate's Own Meek. - In the
open door of the house the cat lay napping
in the warm sunshine, which streamed glo
riously in through the open door. The
good loan had his heart in his work ; he
calmed the fears of the sorrowing wife. told
her of the help and eonithrt she had in her
boy Jack, who would soon be a man, and
was about to place a soothing climax upon,
his words of consolation by an appeal to
the throne of grace, when a denouement of
a most startling character burst upon the
prevailing serenity like a fatal Wit from a
smiling sky.
In listening the mother hail dropped her
knitting—a stocking just begun—the half
of yarn lay in - her lap unheeded. All un
noticed Jack pulled out several fathoms and
coiled it with a sailer-like nicety upon. the,
floor. That done, a new thought struck.

fork lay upon the
table ; Jack secured it. lie run the prongs
through the newly begun stocking. Then.
just as the Rev. Mr. Cheerful was about to
kneel, Jack poised his ingeniously-con

left foot forward, as he had heard his thth
er tell of having done, he drove the liar-

presented-a picture the effect of Which sti

say to we, -We were talking of you just

.it his
been possible to Nneeae one drop of scan
dal into the humdrum story of my life; or,
failing that, how litany times they have
been multiplying my age by ten, to prove
me older than I ennfens myself to be. But
it is not sincere to praise everybody. It
sounds amiable ; but men cannot all be
"charming," and women .all -so sweet.' I
like' to know from the speech of man or
('woman that this one is a friend 't that, a
mere acquaintance. • I think warm-hearted
people arc never • general admirers. All
cannot be loved sincerely; all cannot be
really even pleasant. Constant laudation
of every body may be a pleasant form of
insincerity, but it is insincerity, after all,
for me. It' heaven will help nie, I-will be
sincere. I will not --abuse my intimate
friends when their backs are turned; I will
not praise any one I do not like; I will not
kiss women I hate, nor give men loving .
.looks and loving smiles when I do not like
them. And as Ido nnto others. may they
do unto me, for I deserve no better.
THE difference between a country and a
city greenhorn is. that the one would like
to know - everything% and the other thinks
he can tell.him.
