BB A few days after this event the cap- ti ^ ain of our ship brought on board a | h Honple of men vfhom he had shipped for " ^Kid remainder of the voyage.

" i tho plight of the latter was what d it reasonably have been expeoted, I fi no further notice of him than to S eive that he had a very large and : ked nose; but the spruce appear- o of the former led to the suspicion he was some officer of a merchant- li who had quarreled with his cap- 81 "and deserted. Oar mates seemed a ) of that opinion, for they eyed him ri sly, and for several days treated him more respect than is generally n rn to a oommon sailor. r it after we had put to sea an event rred which shook their faith in his d sotability. In the morning watch, e after daylight, a raft was discovered k reward with some live object upon 6 The captain was called, and, after lining it through his glass, he gave t] re to port the helm. s There is a man there?from some k, likely enough," he said. n ttta a/?nA%ia/l a ?*Aw/1a on/1 ' H H nc OV|ucutu buo jaiuonuu i ?' ran down to the raft. It proved to be a man wearing nothing bnt a ragged pair t oT canvas trousers and something that d pasted for a shirt?that is, fragments of i grtfen baize fluttering in the wind. He j c wore no hat, but his thickly-matted hair ? answered all the purposes of one, except I that ho could nut have lifted it in re gpectful ealnte to a mermaid if one had ^Rianced to cross his prow. A few ^ tfother Oarey's chickens followed in his jBfoke, and two huge albatrosses wheeled W ->ve his head as if half inclined to j ^nce.upon him. HI we had on board a sailmaker named 1 Baldwin, who had belonged to the navy, Hind as soon as his eyes fell upon the stronger he pronounced the name of H" Mauley!" ffl The lone voyager was taken on board, Hand said that he had been cast away in g Baldwin smiled, and afterward told our second mate that this man Mauley was a noted beach-comber of Callao, whom no captain would ship, and who, having visited the frigate to which Bald Win belonged, had been ignominiously Kfepen on shore, and forbidden ever : ffgiin to set foot on board that vessel. j r " He has a very bad name," added the Ripilrnak#?,*:1" and he is suspected of hav ingrnurdered the carpen ter of our frigat | S Valparaiso." In fact, the personal appearance 011 > Mauley -was much against him, and so no one believed that he had been ! wrecked. It was thought that in putting ta-s?a on bis slight raft he. had taken that desperate method to get on board .some vessel. . Keep an eye on him," said our cap- I 'tain.to his first mate. ! The mate did keep an eye on the desolate wretch, and soon detected him in ?lose and confidential conversation with Johnson, the spruce seaman whom ho had shipped just before leaving port. It was the mate's watch, while Johnson belonged to the watch of the i^poond mate; yet Johnson had come on deck for the special purpose of speaking to Mauley. . The two n.cu stood forward of the windlass, under the shadow of the foremast, apart from the rest of the watch, and conversed together in a low tone. W.mi.- 1- .. U 41*mm ..

"That man Johnson ! Are you no aistaken ?" demanded the captain ' Why, Johnson seems to be quite i 11. ... -*r i. i i ;emieman. juust uavo uceu euweuuu ilso." " Yes, sir," replied the mate; " bu Fliit see rot phould anybody have wit! hat Mauley, whom all the crew keepi lear of in broad daylight ? Whisper g with him in the dark?that's tin >int, sir. Baldwin swears that the feler's a murderer, sir." " I'll have no plotting and whisper g in the dark on board my ship!' ried the captain, suddenly and uuac ountably breaking forth into a tower 3g passion. "Now I recollect thai bis Johnson has once or twice shown ? ebellious temper when Mr. Pease has rdered him to scrape topmasts or slnsl hem down, or tar rigging; but ] bought it was only because he'd nevei een used to such dirty work." " If we don't look out he'll be enaged in dirtier work than slushing toplasts or tarring down rigging," said le m.1te. " Cutting our throats, eh ?" " It's unaccountable, sir, this plotting nd having secrets with Mauley; it's sc mch like the way that Smith says the lutiny begun aboard the Globe." " That's true," answered the captain; I've a great mind to put them both in ons." " Mebby we'd better wait a little, and ee," returned the mate; "andI'll keep sharp lookout on both on 'em." The captain was silent, but he shook is head threateningly, and the mate rent on deck to stand out the remainer of his watch. Before morning there was a " gale oi ind." Sail was shortened, and we lay > under close-reefed main-topsail and ;orm-staysail. But, in spite of wind or eather, the first mate was observed all ay running bullets in the cook's caoose, greatly to the surprise of the rew. some of whom asked: " Have there been any pirates heard [ on this coast ?" In the meantime there was something bont this Johnson, especially his voice, hich reminded me of somebody I had ;en before. I noticed that the captain oked sharply at him, and observed all is movements attentively, as if he, also, ad some recollection of him. I knew othing of his conversation with Mauiy, and the mate's surmises. All these latters were related to me afterward. Up to this time Johnson's ignorance f seamanship had been regarded with mch leniency, and the mates had taken >me pains to instrnct him; but after is consultation with Mauley, under >ver of the darkness, a suspicion was arbored by the captain and mate that is awkwardness in handling a marlinejike and rolling up a top-gallantsail as assumed, and that he pretended to b a green hand only to divert attention om his schemes. Accordingly, when Johnson made a ietake, or bungled in the performance : any duty, the officers or the captain :primanded him sharply. He showed lrprise at this change in their deportent toward him, and at length he maniist-ed feelings of resentment. " I do the best I can, and I am only orking my passage home," said he; " I tpect no pay." " Do you answer back, you rascal?" ied the captain, who had overheard le words of Johnson, which were adressed to the mate. "Mr. Russell, m't you preserve better order among dut men?" "I am no rascal," said Johnson, irowing down the rope which he had een trying to splice, and confronting le captain. Several of the crew?Mauley among lem?were standing near Johnson at lat moment, and all but Mauley turned ale. The latter looked steadfastly at le captain. "Yon, too, I suppose," said the caprin, between his teeth, and with a coun;nanco turning pale and red by turns. Mauley fell back, but Johnson smiled antemptuonaly at the captain's boiling rath. " Have yon not heard," said the latir to Johnson, " that only a few lonths before you came on board ] riced a hand up in the rigg-'ng and ave him two dozen lashes for onlt> joking at me as you are doing now ?" "Never heard of it until now," anwered Johnson, compressing his lipt nd shaking his head. "It is a useful iece of information." " The man's a fool," said the captain, irning away. "Mr. Russell, pul im in irons, and feed him on bread and ater for the present." Johnson submitted quietly to be andcufl'ed, and was fed on bread and rater for several days, by which time re had approached Cape Horn, and hit srvices were needed in working th? tiip. He was set at liberty. His or erly conduct puzzled the officers, who egan to be curiou3 about his antece enta He told them that he fell dowi rom Jupiter at tho same time with th< reat goddess Diana, of theEphesians.' "He's crazy," said the mates to eacl ther. Soon after, I hinted to him that 1 be eved he was the same man whom I hat een one evening, m a iar ainerent rig mong the hills, in the rear of Valpa also. " What if you did ? You don't bnon ly name, I suppose ?" demanded he ather impatiently. Nothing important occurred after w< [oubled the cape until we reached th< quinoctial line, when our captair nocked the cook down with a handpike fcr some trifling offense. " Captain Bunker, you'll be sorry fo: bat," remarked Johnson, who waf tanding near at the time. "I'll serve you the same way, yoi lutinous rascal I" cried the captain rith flashing eyes. But he didn't. Ho ordered the matei o put Johnson in irons again, and t< iet him as before. We reached Nantucket, and anchoret iutside the bar on a fine afternoon ir 'uly. The anchor was scarcely dowi ?hen tho owner of the Eadymioi tepped on board. SeeiLg Johnson sit ing on the windlass, tho merchant gav< ,n exclamation of surprise, rushed to rai-i him, and grasping his manacle< iand8s cried: " Why, Edward, my son, what doei his mean ?" "Oil, this is a trifle, father," repliec lie Bon of the owner (known among n >y the name of Johnson); "this ii lothing compared with knooking dowi nen with handspikes, seizing them u] n the rigging and flogging them fo ooking at the captain, with many othe feasant performances of the Jike na are." " It is true, then, whut I have heard, aid the merchant, turning to the cap ain, who was at his side and seeme >ewildered by what he had seen am leard; "it is true, Oapfc. Bunker, tha rou are a cruel tyrant toward you srew." " I?I?I didn't know that this joun, jentleman was vanr son, sir," stammer )d the captain, as he hastened to knoc! ;he irons from the wriBts of the younj nan. "He did not intend that you shoul inow it," replied the owner; "yd mew, I presume, that a son of min iad been several years with a merchan >f Valparaiso. This is he. "When th ime came for him to return home, proposed to him, by letter, that h ihoald work his passage in the Eodj nion, for I had heard strange storie ibout your cruelty to the crew; bu )ther shipmasters and mates had assui >d me those stories were false or ej iggerated, and I was determined t nvestigate the facts. My 3on tells m ihat the sailors under your oommani iad just cause of complaint." Capt. Bunkor murmured somethic ibout the necessity of maintaining die ripline on board ship ; but, it was ot terved that the next time the Endymio jut to sea she had a new captain.

A Male Kicks a Can of Nitroglycerine w There waa a disastrous and fatal explosion of nitro-glycerine and blasting powder at Earlington, Ky., a mining Bj town fifty miles south of Evansville, one ^ night not long ago. The St. Bernard si coal company, in whose mines tho ex plosion occurred, have of late begun to ^ use a small quantity of nitro-glycerine Lwith powder for blasting purposes. On F; the night in question an old colored man was ordered to carry some nitroglycerine. He went to the magazine, yj | and, after getting a supply, left a can of ; it sitting by-the car-track till he could deliver the charge. While gone a team u, ' of empty cars came by, drawn by two mules. One of the mules kicked the can of explosive matter, which instantly oc exploded, blowing mules, cars and the colored driver into atomB, and filling e, ' the passage with debris and rubbish of 1 all kinds from the roof. Two seconds ? later the blasting powder stored in the ? adjoining room exploded with terrific n force. The shocks were distinctly felt ^ 1 atMadisonville, Ky.,three miles distant, <;< and were attributed to an earthquake. The wildest confusion prevailed in Earl- pj ington, as it was supposed to be an ex- w plosion of fire-damp, and there were eighty men in the chambers beyond oi reaoh. The whole city turned out, and affrighted and weeping miners' wives, r mothers and cmiaren maae a scene c,( which beggars description.

By ihat ^ 1 time tho miners began to emerge, as the r smoke decreased in volume, and the safeJ ty of all was announced. Not one was vv ! injured, though all sustained some ner[ vous shock. The only deaths were those B of the driver and the mules. 01 ? L ! The Chaplain's Innocent Hints. E 1 Some time ago a prisoner named S Reilly escaped from the eastern peni- ?' tentiary by concealing himself under " ' the body of a wagon which brought sup; plies to the institution. Before the vej nicle reached Market street Reilly . snatched a cape from a lady, was appre- * hended and sent to Moyameneing prison. t ' Here he was visited by one of the officials , connected with the penitentiary. p ' "Well, Reilly," said the officer, *> j " what did you run away for ?" " J j "Don'tblame me; put it on the man a 11 who got up the scheme, and who told o r: me to do it," was the reply. , "Who was that?" was the question. 1 l "Why,the chaplain," quoth Reilly. *! "Say no more; I will bring the ohap- * 1 lain," said the official. n ' In due time the chaplain, who is a u good and holy man, and who was horror- E \ stricken at the charge, confronted 11 . Reilly. * > " Now, Reilly, here is the chaplain," ' said the official. "Chaplain, Reilly * | charges you with encouraging him to p t get out of prison," added the official. f "So you did," answered R9illy, oom- 11 placently. ' g " It is not so, you villian ! You are ti , not telling the truth, and you know it I" ? I spoke up the chaplain. " Hold on !" cried Reilly. "The last ? . time you saw me you said: 'R9illy, ; I watch and pray,' didn't you "Yes," added the chaplain. I " Weil, I did watch,and I prayed, and [ I prayed and watched, and the first an- p swer that came to my prayers was that ? wagon, and I slid out on it," was Reil- 0 ly's answer. t The chaplain acknowledged Reilly D caught him, only he meant for the con- [ vict to watch and pray in another direc- n tion.?Philadelphia Record. p p Good Advice to Young Men. . Young men, be busy. Don't throw ? away the precious moments of vigorous I youth. Don't loiter about the streets d in idleness. Don't be out at night; for a if you are vice will overtake you. The * first little step in the path of error is the p biggest, longest and most fatal step of E of all of them. Stay at home with your f, mrentg and books. Look for something [ 3 to do; there is plenty of it everywhere t j if you will but take hold. e It is your duty to be industrious and jj energetic. Life was not given you for ) idle pleasure; it was given you that yon ? might improve yourself, glorify God, ' bless your fellow-men with good ex* J 3 amples as well as good deeds. Remember that tho errorB of to day can never ? ' be corrected.

All along the way of life there stands a sentinel on either f>ide, above aud below, who records your. every thought, word and deed.
