We expeelence air winds and weather, and the next cloy uncouple the propeller and keep under sail alone. Now comee the ideal time dear to the seller's heart, whea seated in some cosy nook he can erneke his pipe in peeoe and spin yarns without end. Are any of them worth recording ? Yes ; if you can get an old quartermaster to talk to you you will often her of strange adventures as wonderful as any Clark Russell has record - "1 arn not a believer in ghosts or super- natural appearances," says he, "any more than you may be"—this tc me—" b110 a very strange thiug happened in a ship I once saileelan. " Tha captain was very fond of fishing— that nalof throwing the grains and harpoon, which he did well; and if a fish came fairly under the martingale he rarely, if ever, mimed him. One day we had a number of porpoises come snorting round the ship, tearing about bolder than ever I saw them, and seemed to look up at the captain as much as to say, Catch us it you can.' Well, he was a spicy little fellow and didn't like any chaffing and nonsense; so says he, look- ing at them over the quarter; You d bet- ter not tempt me too tar, for I want oil and I don't like to be jeered at,' upon wtaioh one of them— about the biggest I ever saw— pushed his nose above the water and gave a sort of sputtering snort, just fie if he'd been laughiuo to hiragelt, but couldn't hold in any longer and was obliged to burst out. Well, the ometain couldn't Maud being made a joke of by a porpoise; so he says: make you laugh on the other side of your pig's face before I've done with you, my boy.' And then he called to the second mate, and says he, Just bend on the line to the harpoon and I'll strike that fellow if he comes within reach again, if he is the devil himself?' "Well, there was no poop inthat vessel, so the captain took his stand on the quarter. boat, and had his harpoon all ready, and the line coded free and all clear for the first por- poise that came near—but especially the big black one if possible. There he was—the mate looking et him, the man at the wheel looking at him as well as he eould while minding his course, and two men looking at him who were mending sails, and another man looking at him as he rigged a Scot° tunanon to the backstity, I was on deck, too, but not looking at him constantly, because I was at- tending the ship's course and looking up at the ship's sails. "All of a sudden somebody sung out, 'where's the captain?' and we all looked about and nobody could see him; so I jump- ed into the boat, thinking he might be got (Iowa in her for something, but sure enough; he wasn't there, nor the harpoon, nor the line; only about a fathom of the end of the Iine that was bent on to the standing riggeog. And nobody heard any splash in the water, leer saw him strike at the fish, nor fall overboard, but ovenboard he cer- tainly was. "Well, we couldn't be convinced that he was out of the ship, so we searched the oabin; and the 'tween decks, and even the bold, but we never saw him again. Well, we were very downhearted at thise and the men thought it a bad sign; but that; of course, I knew was all nonsense. However, the mate took command of the :ship, and brought her into Bombay, and there most of the hands left her; they never were reconciled to the ship after the cap- tain disappeared, because they said every night, as sure as eight bells struok, they saw the captain standing up in the boat with the harpoon in his hand, and heard him say; I'll strike him if he's the devil himself,' and then there was a snorting and a half - choked laughing noise in the water all around. the ship, but eapecially under the starboard quarter, where the captain disap• peered; and this I could have sworn I heard often enough myself. , eft a $ubetitilte. Who hee not felt a eat of pity for the dog which always gets lte renseat the length of a leading etring ? Every one who has sympathized with the poor doge confined oonctition will approciete th* ()lever ruse of thedog in the following anecdote, which i we find n a Western exohange Captain Williams of the ship S. Paul, ly. lug at Green Street Wharf, is the posseesor a a valueble petter , Thedc,g has lived with the cappichne f amily for some years and is a meat intelligeat aninini. Being detected in some sheep worrying at home, the dog fell into disgrace, and as a puuishment was sent to sea on the St, Paul. . The captain had a nice house built for him on the deck abaft the mainmast. Since eariving in porn every night the dog has been fastened in his kennel with a collar at• taohed to a chain. Every evening on going on boerd, it has been Captain William's habit to go to the kennel and pat the dog before going to his berth. A few night e ago, on going to the kennel as usual, the captain found that a dog was there as usual, but it did nob feel tie the touch like the family setter and had no col - lee. On procuring a light he found that a strange dog occupied the house. Ile lefe the dog there and retired. Next morning he found his own dog in the kennel, as usual with its collar on, looking areinnocent as if it had been there all night. In the evening the captain kept watch, and ;shortly after night fall the strenge dog came on board (iglu and went to the kennel, the setter with his paws Blipped off his collar and scooted over the gang -plank for a run ashore, the strringe dog taking his place. He returned next morning at daybreak, slipped on hie collar, and was all ready to be patted when the skipper oame out for his early coffee. Captain Williams than punched an extra hole in the collar and awaited developments. At nightfall the strange dog came on board again and, going to the kennel, prepared to take his place as usual. The setter oould not get his collar off and had to remain. The dogs, who were watched, had an ant - mated conversation in canine, Volapak, or some other language, and then the setter re• tired to rest, while the strange dog wended its way on shore, pondering on man's inhu- manity to dogs, and sorry that its newly made friend could not go and "run" in the company of the select coterie of dogs that nightly gather on the be ',wall andadjacent wharves. .BUDIMBB, SlalLES• footnote—" Pima° ase the mat," The modern ekeleton in the closet—The bustle ,at night.

At the season when birds are building their nests, it is an interesting chapter of natural history that tells us how they make their homes. From the observations of an English writer these facts are gathered. Scarcely any bird is more wary than the wood•pigeon at other times, yet in the spring, he says, there are generally half -a -dozen nests in the moat exposed places near his houses while the old birds sit tamely, and apparently devoid of all fear, close to the windows. The missel-thrush forms its nest in the apple trees close to the house. Its nest, although large, is so carefully built of material resembling in color the bark oi the tree, and is made to blend itself so gradually with the branches as to show no distince outline of a nseit, and to render the nest very diffi welt to discover. , The wren always adapts her nest to the color and appearance a the surrounding foli- age. In a beeoh hedge near the house, in whieb the leaves of the last year still remain at the time when the birds bdgin to build, the wrens form the outside of their nests entirely of the withered leaves of the beech, so that, large as itis, the passer-by would never take it for anything more than a chance collection of leaves heaped together. When the wren builds near the ground, she forms her nest of the long withered grass such as grows about the spot. When her nest is in a spruce -tree, she covers it with green moss which. resembles the foliage of the spruce. The little white throat bunch; her nest on the ground, at the root of a tree or in long withered grass, and carefully arches it over with the Surrounding herbage and to hide her little white eggs, places a leaf in frontlet the entrance whenever she leaves her nest. When the partridge quits her eggs for the purpose of feeding, she covers them in the most caref al manner, and even closes the path by which she goes to and fro through the grass. The wild duck does the same, and hides her nest and eggs byoovering them with dead leaves, sticks and othersubstitnoes which she afterward smooths carefully over eo as entirely to conceal all traces of her dwelling. The larger birds, whose nests are too large for concealment, provide for their security by other means. A raven, who builds in a tree, inv irkibly fixes on the one that is mese difficult to climb. She makes her neat in ono whose large size and smooth trunk, devoid of branches, set at defiance the utmost efforts of the most export climbers. There is one kind of swallow which breeds very frequently about the caves and rooks on the seashore here. It is almost impossible to distinguish the nest of this bird, owing to her choosing some inequality of the rock to hide the outline of her building, which is composed of mud and clay exactly the same color as the rock itself Frank Millet's Ruse. Everybody has heard of Frank Millet. He paints pictures and writes magazine arbiales in times of peace, but when a war is " on " he become a "war correspondent," and is likely to turn up in the Soudan, the Transvaal or the Belkans. But there was a time when he was not known. He sent piotures to exhibitions, to be sure and good ' ones but no ne paid any particular atten- tion to them or said anything aboutthem. One day he a received an idea,. He painted a picture of a lady in black sitting on a bright red sofa standing against a vivid yellow background. The effect was just a trifle startling. Friends who savait in process of production expostulated with , him, and &eked what he was going to do with it They were simply astounded when he an- nounced that he was going to send it to the exhibition. They labored with him, but in vain. Tney told him that the critics would ic wipeethe floor" with him. "They can't do that without mentioning me," said Frank, quietly, " and they've never even done that yet." To the exhibition the picture went. It killed everything within twenty feet od either side of it. You couldn't help looking at it. It simply knocked you down and held you there. The critics got into a tow- ering passion over it. They wrote whole columns aboat it. They exhausted the English language in abusing it. They ridi- culed the committee that permitted it to be bung. They had 'squibs and gibes aboutit, but everar time they spoke of it they men- tioned Frank Millet. He suddenly became the bestlinown artist in town, Somebody., because of the stir it had made, bought the piettire ata good price, and removed it to the seclusion of his own home. When the next exhibition came off Frank had another piature.ready, one of a very different sort, and very good, but no better than others which had been exhibited before. The ,oritice had much to say about it, and "noted th pleasure the marked improvement ' tfiat Mr. Millet had made "fan evidence," as they modestly put it, "of the value of criticism, even though severe, to a young artist." And the majority of them never eaw that Frank had simply compelled their attention by a clever trick. • - " •• - • One Way to Tell, " a gentleman say Come hyar, you black Scamp, ern' black trier boota, en' do hit quick, too,' 1 kno,ws dat man's from down Souf, en' gwme to girnme sompen, en' mos' likely a quartah."

"No, sir," she re- plied, "Pa is not in at present Do you wish to see him personally?" "Yes, miss," was his bluff reeponse, feeling that she was "on very particular personal busi- ness." And he proudly turned to go away. "I beg your pardoo," she called after him as he struck the lower step, "but who shall I say called ?" He never smiled again. tSell.Threading Needles 1 One of the latest inventions of interest to laiies is the new ?patent sewing needle, which is to all appearances like any orditutry needle, bue which ean be instantly threaded without peeping the thread through the eye, and in so simple in operation them even per- sons who are blind lattVe no diffloulty in using them, They are made in England by fie Well known firm of needle manufacturers, aae nicely finished and neely tempered, and do not out the threacl as many do ; they are jest being introdueed here, and sample pack - eta are gent by mail to any address for fifteen °elite by the Whiten Manufaaturing Oom- party, Toronto'Onterio, and as we know this arm to be thoroughly eelintble and the needles nob a catch penny, bat a useful and genuine novelty, we would avise our readers to send f n. them. • There, was a tramp, a graceless scamp, of cheek he had a lot; he stole eaoh meal, and onoe did squeal: "A cucumber I've got 1" But in the night he woke in fright and anguish sad to see; he roared in pain' then did exclaim : "That cucumber's gotme 1!

I went into one of the stone built re- cesses, where several of our Tartars were crouching round a small grass root fire, and was considerably edified by watching them cooking and dispatching their morn- ing repast. To begin with, a vary dirty copper vessel wee put on the fire and filled with some green weed like nettles, barley fiour and water. While one of the men stirred this pottage round and round with a wooden ladle another produced some raw meat—a bit of the dong I had shot. This he prooeeded to tear up into small strips and throw thent on the fire, every now and then popping a rem lump into his mouth and masticating it with the greatest appar- ent gusto. Even the bits on the fire were quickly disposed of after being merely singed. As soon as the pottage was considered ready it was ladled out into little wooden cups, like the whiskey " onaighs" of the Highlands, minus the handles, whioh each man produced from inside the breast of his dirty woolen coat, and gulped up from them with a prodigious amount of noise After being replenished again and again until the pet was emptied, the caps were carefully licked clean and redepoeited from whence they had been taken. Another course of the fiesh was about to be partaken of after the manner of the first, but a regard for my own appetite for breakfast prevented my waiting to see it discussed. These hardy Tartars are quite independent of any other dishes beyond their little wooden bowls. In these they mix their suttee (meal made from barley) with a little water and salt and make an expeditious repast of it when- ever they feel hangry. Indeed, this kind of uncooked porridge seems to be their staple food.—Bleoltwood's Magazine.
