Ia another part of the room, opposite
to a tall looking glass, atand our be
loved chair newly polished, , and
adorned with gorgeool' eushloii of
crimson velvet) tufted with gold.';. ,;
Io the chair tits a man of strong

West Indies. He wean an immense
periwig, flowing down over hit shoul

In a corner of the room stand his gold
headed cane, made ot beautifully pol
ished West India wood.- Somewhat
such an aspect as this, did Sir William
Pbips present, when he sat in grand
father's chair, after the King had ap
pointed him Governor of Massachu
setts. Truly the was need that the
old chair should be varnished, and
decorated with a crimson cushion, in
order to make it suitable fur such a
magnificent looking personage. .
But Sir William Pbips bad1 hot al
ways worn a gold embroidered coat,
nor always set so much at bis ease as
be did now in grandfather's ohalr. 7le
was a poor man's son, and was born in
the northern province of Maine, where
he had used to tend sheep upon the
hills, in his boyhood and youth. Un
til he had grown to be a man.he didn't
know even how to read or write. Tired
01 lending sheep, he next apprenticed
himself to a ship carpenter, and spent
about four years in hewing the crook
ed limbs of oak? trees into knees of
vessels. w-
In 1673, when he was twenty "7ears
old, he came to Boston, -ud soon" af
terwards married to a widog lad who
nan property enough to set bim un in
business.
It was Dot long, however, before be
had lost all the money he had acquired
by his marriage, and became a . poor
man again,' Still, he was not discour
aged. ' Ha often told his wife, that,
some time or other, he should be very
rich, and would build "fair brick
house" in the Green Lane of Boston.
Do not suppose, children, he bad
uCen to fortune tellers to enquire, his
destine - It was his own energy and
spirit of enterprise, and his resolution
to leaa an ma urinous me mat wane
hisa look forward with so much confi
to better 4syt.y -J '
Several years passed away,- and
William Pbips had not yet gained the
riches he had : promised to himself.
During this time he had begun to fol
low the sea for a living. In the year
1684, he happened to near ot a Span
ish ship which bad been cast away
near the Bahama Islands, and which
was tuPDosed to contain a crest deal
of gold and silver. Mr. Phips went
... - r-
to the place in a small vessel, hoping
he should be able to recover some of
the treasure from the wreck. He did
not SQccees, fiowerer; in oat lag up
gold and silver enough t9 pay the ex
penses of the voTSe."-'.--no., 1 ! -
But before he returned he was told
of another Spanish- ship or galleon,
that had been east away Dear : t orto
dele Plata, She bad now laia as much
as fifty years beneath the waves. Tbis
old ship bad been ladeo with teaneuse
ealth i and hitherto, nobody bad
thought of the possibility of reeover
ing any part of it from the : deep sea,
which was rolling and sossiog it about.
But though it was an 'old story, and
the most aged people had forgotten
that such a vessel bad been wrecked.
William Phips resolved that the sunk
en treasure should again be brought
to light.
He went to London and obtained
admittance to King James, who had
not yet been driven from his throne.
He told the King ef the vast wealth
that was lying at the bottom of the
sea. King James listened with, atten
Uon, and thought this a floe opportu
mtv to fill the treasury with bpanisn
gold.'. He appointed William phips

gnns, and 95 men. bo sow lie was
Captain Pbips of the Eoglish navy. I
" Captain Pbips sailed from England
ia the Rose Algir, and cruised for
nearly two years io the West Indies,
endeavoring to ftod the wrack of the
Spanish ship. But the tea is so wide
and deep that it is no easy matter find
the exact spot where a sunken vessel
lies. The prospect of success seemed
very small, and most people would

build a "fair brick house" as be was
Whoa be tended sheep. M
' The men ef the Rose Algier be
came discouraged 'and gave op all
hope of making their fortunes by dis
covering the Spanish wreck. They
wanted to Compel Captain Phips to
turn pirate. There was a much bet
ter prospect, they thought, of growing
rich by plundering Vessels which still
sailed the sea, than ty-" seek!og for a
ship that had lain beneath the waves
full half a century. They broke out
in open mutiny, but were finally mas
tered by Phips, and compelled to obey
hisordors. .It would have been dan
gerous, however, to continue much
longer at sea with such a crew of mu
tinous sailors ? and; besides, the . Rose
Algier -was leaky-aed waseawerthy.
Captaia Phips judged it best to return
l0 Eogland.' !' ;is
Before leaving the West todies be
met with a Spaniard, an old man, who
gave him directions how . to ' find the
very spot. - It was on a reef of rock,
lew leagues from. Forte do Ia Plata.
On arriving in England, therefore.
Captain Pbipa solicited , the King to
let him have another vessel, and send
bimSok again to- tat West Indies.
Bnt King James,- who had probably
expected that the Rose Algier would
return laden with gold: refused to
have anything more to do with the
affair. Phips might never have been
able to ronew the search, if the Duke
of Albemarle, and some other noble
men1' had not 1 lent their assistance.
They fitted out a ship and gave the
command to Captain Pbipa.. He sailed
from England, and arrived cafely at
Porte de la Plata, when he took: an
adze aud assisted his men' to buill a
large boat.,... ,' ... ' ', ;
The boht ' was intended for going
closer vto the reef of rocks than a
largsv vessel could safely venture.
When it was finished the captain sent
several men in it to examine the spot
where tbe Spanish ship- was said to
have been wrecked. They were' ao
companiod by some Indians, who were
skilled divers and could go down a
great way into the depths of the sea.
the boats crew proceeded to toe
reef of rocks, and rowed round and
round it a great many times. They
gazed dowu ioto the water, which was
so transparent that it seemed ai if
tbey could have seen the gold and sil
ver at the bottom bad there been any
of those precious metals there.. '.Noth
ing, however, could they see ; nothing
more valuable than a certain sea shrub
which was growing beneath tbe water,
in a crevice of tbe rocks.- It flaunted
to and fro in the swell and reflux of
the waves, and looked as bright and
as beautiful as if its leaves had been
made of gold.
"We won't go back empty bauded,"
cried and English sailor ; and then he
spoke to one of tbe Iudian divers. -
"five down ana nnng me mat pret
ty tea shrub there. That's the only
treasure we shall final"
Down plunged the diver, and soon
rose dripping from the water, holding
the sea shrub in his hand. But be
had learned some news at the bottom
of tha sea. i "There are some ship's
guns," said he the4 moment he had
drawn breath, "some great cannon
among the rock, pear where the shrub
was giowiog. . 'yi
No sooner had he spoken, than the
English sailurs knew that they had
found tns very spot where . the Hpao
ish galleon had been wrecked so many
years before.,. Tbe other Indian divers
immediately plunged over tbe boat s
side and swam headlong down, grop
ing among the rocks and sunken can
non. . In a few moments one of them
rose above water, wtth a heavy lump
of silver io bis arms. That single
lump was worth more than a thousand
dollars. The sailors took it into the
boat, and then rowed back as speedily
as they could, being in haste to inform
Captain Phips of bis good lock. But,
confidently as the Captain had hoped
te find the bpanisn wreck, yet now
that it was , really round, the news
seemed too good to be true, lie could
not believe it until the saIIom showed
hiqj the lump of silver.
? "Thanks he - to Uod then orlet
Captain Phips. "We shall every man
of us make our fortunes i"
Hereupon the eaptain and all the
crew set to work with iron rakes and
great hooks and lines, fishing for gold
and silver at tbe bottom of the sea.
Up earn tha treasure in abundance.
Now they beheld a table of solid sil
ver. once the property of an old Span
Uh grandee. Now they found a aozs
mental vessel which bad been destin
ed as a gift to some Catholio church.
Now they drew up a golden eup fit

it is a wonder ' how their, radieace
could have been concealed.
There is something sad and terrible
la the idea of snatching all thia wealth
from the devouring ocean which had
possessed it for so many years. It
seems as if men had no right to make
themselves rioh with it. It eoght to
have been lft with the skeleton of
the aneient Spaniards, who bad - been
drowned when the ship was wrecked,
and wbosa bones were now scattered
among tha gold and silver.' Dot Cap
tain Phips and biecrew were troubled
with no such thoagbt as these.' After
a dst br two they alighted on ' part
of "th wreck, where they found a
great many bags of silver dollars. But
nobodyeould have guessed that these
were money bogs.' ; Ef remaining to
long in the salt, water that they had
become covered 4with ' k crust which
had the appearance pf stone, so that
It r was neoeseary to break them in
piece with hammers and axes. When
this was done a stream of silver dol
lars gushed out upon the vessel. ' ;
: The Whole value of the "recovered
treasure, plate. V bullion, ' precious
stones, and all,' was estimated at more
than two millions of dollars. It was
dangerous even to look at such a vast
amount of wealth. A sea captain
who had assisted Phips in . the ; enter
prise, utterly lost his reason at the
sight' He died two year afterwards,
still raving about the treasures at the
bottom or the sea. It would have
been better for this man If he had left
the skeletons of; the' shipwrecked
Spaniards in quiet possession of their
wealth.'" . 1 -'' i '
Captain Pbips and his men contin
ued to fish up plates, bullion, and dol
lars, as plentifully as ever, till their
provisions grew short. Then, as they
could not feed upon gold and silver any
more than old King Midas could, they
found it necessary' to go in search of
better sustensnce. .'Phips resolved to
return to England. ' He arrived there
in 1687, and was received with great
joy by the Duke of Albermarle and
tbe other English Lords who had fit
ted out the vessel. Well might they
rejoice, for they took by far the great
er part of the treasure to themselves;
The Captain's share, however, was
enough to make him comfortable for
tbe rert of his days. It also enabled
him to fulfill his promise to his wife
by building a "fair1 brick house" in
the ' Green Lane of Boston.' The
Duke of Albermarle rent Mrs. Phips
a magnificent gold cup worth at least
five thousand dollars. ' Before Captain
Phips left London, King James made
him a knight; so that instead of the
obscure ship carpenter who had for
merly dwelt among them, the inhab
itants of Boston welcomed him on his
return, as tbe rich and famous Sir
William ' Finns. Haiethoru't True

There Is a prescription in use in
England for tbe cure of drunkenness,
by which thousanda are said to have
been assisted in recovering themselves.
The receipt came into notoriety
through tbe efforts ef John Vine Hall,
commander or tbe .Great Eastern
steamship. ' n had fallen into such
habitual-drunkenness that bis most
earnest efforts to reclaim himself
proved unavailing. , At .length ; he
sought the advice of an emiuent pby
sician, who gave him a prescription
which he followed faithfully fur seven
months, and at tbe end of that time
had loet all desire for liquor, although
for many years he bad been led cap
tive winch be afterwards published,
and by which so many drunkards
have been assistod to reform, as fol
lows t "Sulphate of Iron, five grains ;
Peppermint water, eleven drachms;
spirit of Nutmeg, one drachm ; twioe

stimulant and touio, and partially sup
filies lb : place of tbe accustomed
iqoor, ana prevents tbst absolute
physical and moral prostration that
follows a sudden breaking off from

A milk: peddler named Drew was at
the Detroit police station to secure aid
in tracing tha whereabout of a family
who bad changed locations between
two days, owing him three dollars.
' "Well, I suppose there was twelve
shillings' worth of water in that three
dollar milk account," remarked the
chief. ' '
"That's where it galls me that's
where it hurts!" replied the dealer.
"They were new onstomers, and I had
