In a week he was again facing the storms of the ocean, enriching his employers by his skill and toil, till infirmities drove him high and dry on the shore.

There, in due time, he died of old age, leaving little to his family, except lite pirate's cutlass, which three generations of boys have used in their juvenile "trainings," and which, i nsted and blunted, may now be seen in the office of hisgreat-grand-son, a lawyer of Xew York.

As ho seated himself beside the berth the sick man fixed his brilliant eyes upon him and said, calmly "Captain, I am dying!" "I hope not, my dearBir; this dreadful gale Iiiih weakened you.

It is all over now, and you will soon be better." "Xo, captain," lie repeated, "I am dying! The tempest, I know, is over ho is that other tempest in my brest! This ship has long been tossed and beaten about by the fury of the waves, hut it has been biiii-shine and calm compared with that tempest, captain! But it is all over now, for 1 have forgiven him he has long been in the grave but I have forgiven him!" My grandfather thought he was delirious, but a secoud look at the deep intelligence of his eye and the smiling calmness of his features forbade the conclusion, lie gazed at him a moment with mingled compassion and curiosity, anxious to learn something of a history the closing scene of which was so dark and mysterious, but unwilling to ask it. His look was interpreted, and the stranger continued "1 told you 1 was a sailor. Of thirty-live years I have not spent one upon the THE LEGACY.

A good strengthening tonic should be provided for poultry during the spring, in order to thin out the blood and get up a good, healthy circulation. Copperas and assofeteda are good.

There's no trouble in milking fowls profitable on the farm, if just one half the attention is given them that other kinds of stock receive. If the pigs and calves had to forage around and pick up hear and there all the food they got, they would not prove very paying investments. Look after and feed your fowls regularly and they will pay you well for it. As a protection to irees against mice, rabbits, borers, a screen made, of common window wire is recommended. The wire is cut into strips about six inches wide, across the end of the roll (which is usually about two feet in width) and the strips wound around a broom-handle.

When placed around trees the spring of i the wire holds them in place, and they do not bind the trees. iiuw is iiic nun- ui ilium auuui nuusu- tute for grass when the pastures have become short, and for corn when the pastures fail altogether. Quite often the profit of months of feeding is lost by failing to provide these substitutes. For pasture, the best substitute is undoubtedly sowed corn, cut and fed green. Sweet corn is preferred for this purpose, and Stowell's Evergreen is a variety highly recommended.

The corn should be sown so thick that it will not get above five feet in height till wanted, when it may be cut with the mower. As a substitute for corn, I can highly recommend pumpkins. I plant them among the corn, and find that they do not seem to lessen the yield of corn. XOTHEtt IS BESTl.NU.

laud. But this was not my choice. Like a ship, captain, my supports were knocked from under me, and I was launched upon the ocean. My father was an English merchant in Cadiz, exclusively engaged in navigation. lie lavishly provided for my education.

Having traversed the halls of science, I left Oxford and relumed to Spain at the age of This first year of freedom from school 1 spent in rambling over the mountains of that enchanted conn- try. In deep inland dell, shut out from the world, where the earth was always green and the sky always blue, I met one day a beautiful young shepherdess and "loved her. "I will not describe her charms, captain, for you have been young, and a heart that has loved needs not to be told that to the eyo of true affection its object has no defects. "My father learned my secret but I knew it not, 1 had a life-long secret afterward, which he never learned! He came to me one morning, smiled and said 'My son, do you want to go to "I eagerly answered in the allirmative, for it had been a cherished but hitherto forbidden passion with me to travel. 'One of my vessels sails he said, 'and you may "This short interval allowed me no time to bid farewell to my shepherdess, who was fifty utiles distant, nor even to inform her of my departure, but I said aloud 'I'll soon be and many other consolations I whispered to my heart the next day while bounding over the Atlantic.

"The ship arrived in good time at Havana, discharged her cargo, reloaded and sailed for Calcutta! I was a prisoner in my father's ship! and for five long years 1 was kept from home as if all the waters of the ocean could wash out my love! "I escaped at length from the prison ship while lying at Hio and took passage in a French bark for the (hiadalaquiver. Xo circumnavigation of the globe waB ever so long as that voyage, I strained my eyes every day watching for Gibraltar, which I knew was thousands of miles off and every night I dreamed of mountain rivulets, snowy flocks and Ina. "Arriving at last at Seville, I hastened over the Nevada and sought the sunny dell where my affections had so long nestled, and there found that the idol of my heart was the wife of an Andalusian shepherd! She had been told that I had deserted her, and afterward that I was dead. I did not weep, for my heart was turned to stone. 'My said 1, 'shall never know of this I did not go to see him it was wicked, I know, but, burning with the spirit of revenge, I turned again to the sea and never saw him more.

I am faint, captain, and cannot prolong my task. In six months I was master of a fast sailing vessel you have seen that vessel, captain, but never in port, and I have often seen you, and knew your name twenty years ago. But no matter about that. My father continued to freight his ships and send them to different parts of the world but he never knew that I superintended a large part of bis business, and that many of his cargoes found a sale in ports to which they had never been consigned. His agents sometime failed to report.

"I have said enough, captain before tomorrow's sun sets I shall be in the caverns of the deep. But I have forgiven him and do not complain. I have a fortune in the bank of England, but with it is deposited a will, and the orphan son of Ina is my heir. You have been kind to me, captain, and in token of my gratitude I beg you to accept my watch and cutlass and this paper, which you will carefully preserve." Sosaying he held out a folded scrap of paper, which my grandfather 4ut into his pocket. Morning dawned but the stranger's eyes did not open unon it they were closed forever.

In the afternoon the "Burial Service at Sea," that most solemn of sea scenes, was performed, and the shrouded body of the pirate, with a gentle plunge, broke the glassy surface of the ocean, and sank swiftly to the mysterious depths. It was many hours afterward that my grandfather bethought himself of the paper in his pocket He opened it and read as follows Capt. Lasr On the eastern point of Nantucket, at high-water mnrk, a bill, sharp cliff. A quarter league due went from that cliff is a lance, round stone, and near the stone a thombush. That bush grow in a very rich soil.

The duties of his station kept my grandfather a long time abroad, and when he was in Boston about two years afterward, aud having a few days of leisure, lie was thinking about acting upon the hint of the I enigmatical paper, when his eye happened I to fall on the following paragraph in the old ISoston NrMt-Hijtt: Wondhbii DmcovKRv. A John Roger brraltiD pieee of pasture ground on the east shore of Nantucket about a month ago hi; plowshare turned op stout thornbnsh, sticking to the roots of which Mr. Roger espied several Spanish dollar. VKm this he went to digging aud did not give up till he had hauled out coins chiefly doubloons, of mora ttun 1.000 value. Xo doubt it was buried by Cat- Kidd or some of hi pirate kin.

"No doubt," thought my grandfather, as of commerce would dictate. This was my grandfather's ship, only waiting for her papers and a fair wind. The papers were soon ready, and shortly after them came a breeze. Presently every, thing on board was in active motion the casting off and coiling of ropes, the unfurling of canvas, and the running up of sailor boys along the ratlines like spiders uu their webs, while the sharp, imperative orders of the mateaud the hearty "ye-hoy-ye" of theaclicerfnl crew echoed over the rippling waters of the harbor, which looked in the rays of the setting sun as if it was covered with a cream of liquid gold. Just before the last plank was hauled in a stranger stepped hurriedly on board and inquired for the captain's stateroom.

Being conducted thither he entered, and with a slight bow, accosted the captain, who sat writing at his desk. "You are for Liverpool, I believe, sir?" "Yes, sir." "I am in poor health, and, intending to spend the winter in Italy, wish to get passage in the first ship that sails for Europe. Will you take a passenger?" "Yes, sir, if my accommodations will suit you?" "Xo matter about accommodations, captain. I am an old sailor, and know how to accommodate myself. Besides the trim of your ship suits my eye." The allusion to his ill health attracted my grandfather's scrutiny, and the introduction of himself as an old sailor touched his heart.

On noticing him more particularly he was struck with an undetinablc feeling of curiosity and sympathy at his appearance. Tall, straight and rather slender, he was dressed in a fine broadcloth, with a sort of Spanish cloak of the same color and quality. A two edged sword, common on shipboard at that time, and improperly called a cutlass, was partly covered by his cloak, and hung by his side without a sheath. lis hair was quite gray and his manlv features would have been hand- some had they not been so emaciated as to give nnpleasant prominence to a half dozen deep scars on his faoe. His eyes were blue and full of expression, but restless at times, showing a sudden abstraction.

The looseness of one of his black gloves gave evidence that he had lost a linger or two from his left hand. These observations were made by the captain while the stranger was looking at a beautiful sextant on the table. Turning, as if startled at bis forgetful ness, he resumed "Xante the price, captain, and I will pay it now." My grandfather had already asked the price in his mind, and he replied "You are a sailor, sir, and sick. The accommodations' of my ship, as well-as my own services, are at your free command." The language of a sailor's heart cannot be misunderstood an! knows no interpreter, and the stranger knew that remonstrance would be ungenerous on his part. He made no reply, but eagerly extended his hand, and my grandfather, as he shook it, thought he saw a tear in the stranger's eye.

But noble hearts are impatient of exhibi- tions of gratitude, and he quickly added: "I am ready to sail, sir. Is your baggage on board?" "This is all my baggage, sir," he replied, showing him a small black satchel under nis cloak. Leading him to a state room the captain left him and went on deck and found the ship already under way, the sails filled with a stiff breeze, and wharves, warehouses and spectators fast growing small in the distance. At length, as darkness shut in the view, the wind increased to a gale, and from a gale to a tempest, and for ten days and nights the noble ship, which bad plowed the seas of every latitude from Spitzbergen to Xew Zealand, underwent such a conflict with the elements as she had never before encountered. Dur ing all this time the stranger bad been confined below with an apparently rapid consumption, which rough weather had swiftly matured.

During the storm the duties of the captain were so urgent that he could only make snatches and hasty visits to the sick man and, although they could have been spared from their quarter, he could have hoped for little aid or sympathy from any of the crew, who, with the easy tendency to the superstitious peculiar to their class, had associated bis presence with the perils of the ship. It would have reuqired but slight encouragement from their official to induce them to pay to him the same compliment that the sailors of Joppa paid to Jonah on a slmiliar occasion, when "The sea wrought and was tempestous," Hat on the tenth night, just in the cap-tain was ready to answer a summons to visit the siek man's berth, the storm ceased with suddenness that was startling the wind was entirely lulled, and no evidence of its fury remained except the long swelling billows of the sea the deep afterlights of its mighty passion.
