In the summer of 18o?, Krank Manly and 1 were homeward-hoiiiid, from China to Ik'slon, in the splendid clipper rhij? Sunset. We were children together, and had followed many a butterfly in company. In later years, we bad often run after those marvelous butterflies in pink sun bonnets?those Will-o-lhc- Wisps in di mity?in other fields ? rather as rivals, though, than side-by-side companions, to confess iL This was Frank's first voyage; as mas ter.

I was his only [?assenger, running homo nfier somo* j trucancy, in a period between a closing clerkship and an opening partnership at Canton. These were to me delicious days?care-frco, and every hour with my old playfellow was communion of a rare order. We were chatting one evening openly for there was now nothing between us but the cabin table. The light burned just low enough for the quiet dreamy ! hour thai Frank reeled ofl'to me the small i talk of the dear old town, of which his [ memory held an unrcckonablo cargo. There was May who had married Jan uary, and the squire who had drank him ? (self from aflhicnco 16 the poor-house.

Now he was piously loaning money Saturday nftcrnoous to gain Sun day, at two j?cr cent a month, and won dering what this, world would bo without interest. IJo had bought a book, "Busi ness in Heaven," which proved to hint tbat tho occupations of earth are con tinued above. lie dwelt with miserly unction upon the life to come. The steward now appeared with our evening coffee. Then came the usual cigar, and we swung apart iu meditation as lightly as two -vessels parting compa ny after exchanging sea-courtesies. "Captain," said J, suddenly, as if something had just come to mind, though tho question had been balancing on my tongue for an hour? "Hal," interrupted my compauion, ?'don't Captain me off-deck, here under the cabin-light, if you lovo me." "Well then, my modest old desk-mate how is that little Amy Woodsou whom you used to endow so bountifully in school-days with pickled limes and chew ing gum ?" My captain?the splendid follow?to show his unconcern, breathed a couple j of smoke-wreaths out o? his mouth' and replied with counterfeited sadness, "Hal, I shall never have faith again in the power of pickles with school-girls, and I am a doubter forever of the virtue of* spruce gum. !S\ so, my sly boy, you were on that tack, were you? But you fbiJiy as well emulate the example of your forefathers and throw that chest of breakfast-tea overboard, for father Wood son has gone where tea-drinking is neither a blesseng nor a sin. No, no, Hal Ray Klwc'l wei.t'iered us all. By Jove, to think of it! The little toad that I nursed through vulgar fractions and the rule of three?who never had spunk enough to kiss a girl under four years?to marry Am)'I But thii ways of woman are woiuierous, Hal. The Sunset is my choice. Isn't she a b?;auty ? I am wedded to her." and I thought, How could a woman resist you my handsome captain? "Poor puss, she ha l a confounded rough w ay of it," he cont inued. "What do you mean?" "Why, haven't you heard of it?" "Vague rumors only. Her lather, cashier of the bank* Wasn't then; trou ble? Was it all true ? Proud old man* His heart broke, I fancy. For Heaven's sake, Frank, toll me what you know," 1 demanded. "Will, well, old quill-driver, don't rough up m>. I do know about it, and, though I say it, more than any but a very few in the old town. 1 never was any hand al a yarn, but if you will have it, maybe 'twill harrow you some, seeing you were a little sweet on Amy." "Come, come, captain?there, chummy then?begin. Hut, by George, if you exaggerate one iota, I'll call the iSunset a clumsy old nooker-" "Well, I needn't nek it' you rcmcin her Amy," began my vis a-vis, tonnen* tingly, "nor tell you of her step in the dance, ol the color of her hair and eyes, nor what her laugh was like, nor what a woman she ha.- grown. Let nie see, von li ft home in forty ?" "Eight." "And you remember General Wood sun, then, as a irheerful, c lastic old gen tleman, who, at the bank-counter, told off the notes w ith a celerity little less than magic, to our unaccustomed eves. He was a favorite every where, you know. With a lad's help he performed all thou labor in the bank, except when Amy would come down once in a while lo give him a lift on the books. Amy was her I father's housekeeper, too; her mother died, just after you left home, I guess. Von see the young girl had flushed enough to fry. For all, she always had a .-pare hour and some nicknack ol" her needle work for us sailor-boys when about hav ing home. And the old general would say, 'Luck to yon, my lad,' in a mighty good munucr that won us. "But I never could sec that she favor ed one much above another. Once 1 had bidden her ge?d-by. I remember, and afterward seeing Ben Holtropo call at her house, 1 stood out of sight and timed him?you laugh?watch in hand, and 1 had the better of him some odd minutes, or it may have been seconds.
