"I am not a believer in ghosts or super•

etrauge thing happened in a ship I ono°
sailed in.
"Tho oapbatn was very fond of Railing—
that is, of throwing the grains and harpoon,
which he did well ; and if a fish Dame fairly
under the martingale he rarely, if ever,
missed him. One day wo had a number of
porpoises oomo snorting round the ship,
tearing about bolder than ever 1 saw them,
and seemed to look up at the captain as

he wee a spicy little fellow and didn't like
any chaffing and nonsense; so says he, Inok.

of them— about the biggest I over taw—
pushed hie nose above the water and gave a
sort of oputtoring snort, just as if he'd been
laughing to himaolt, but couldn't hold in
any longer and wee obliged to burstcub.
Well, the captain aouldn'b stand being
made a joke of by a porpoise ; so he nap:
' I'll make you laugh on the other aide of
your phee fano before I'vo done with)ou,
my boy.' And then ho called to the second
mate, and says he, ' Jnot•bend on the line to
the harpoon and I'll strike that fellow if he
oemoo within reach again, if he ie the devil
himself 1'
Well, there was no poop in that veosol,
so the oaptaia took his stand on the quarter.

line coiled free and all olear for the first pole
poise that came near—but especially the big
black one if possible. There ho was—the
mato looking at him, the man at the wheel
looking at him as wail as he could while
minding his course, and two men looking at
him who were mending Bails, and another
man looking at him as he rigged eSootchman on
to the becketay, I was on deck, too, but not
looking at him constantly, because I was at•

the ship's sails,

about and nobody aould see him ; Bo I jump.

down in her for something, but sure enough,
be wasn't there, nor the harpoon, nor the
line, but only aboub a fathom of the end of
the lino that was bent on to the standing
rigging. And nobody heard any splash in
the water, nor saw him strike at the fish,
nor fall overboard, but overboard he oer•
tainly was.
"Well, wo couldn't be convinoad that he
was out of the ship, so we searohed the
cabin, and the 'Sween decks, and even the
hold, but we never saw him again,
" Well, we were very down hearted at
this, and the men thoughb it a bad sign ; but

However, the mato took command of the
ship, and brought her into Bombay, and
there most of the hands loft her ; they never
were reconciled to the ship after tho cap

night, as euro ae oight bolls 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 n half•
ohoked laughing noise in the water all
around the ship, but especially under the

time when he was nob known. He sant

One day he o noeived an idea. lie painted
a picture of a lady in black oittiug on a
brighb red sofa standing against a vivid
yellow background. The effect was just a
trifle atter ding. Friends who saw it in process
of produobion expostulated with him, and
asked what he was going to do with it.
They were simply astounded when ho an.
nounoed that ho was going bo send it to the
exhibition. They labored with hien, but it,
vain. 'They told hint that the eribioa would
" wipeitho floor " with him. " They can't do
that without mentioning mo," said Frank,
quietly, " and they've never even done bhet

B.ow the Buds Build,
At the season when birds are building
their nooto, 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•n•drzon nests
in tho most exposed places near his houses
while the old birds sit tamely, and apparently
devoid of all fear, oloae to the windows.
Tho mieeel•thruah forma its neat in the
apple trues close to the house. Its nest,
although large, issocarefully built of material
resembling in color the bark oe the true, and
is made to blend itself ea gradually with the
branches as to show no distinct outline of a
nest, and to render the nest very difttoult to
dieoovor.
The wren always adapts her nest to the
color and appearance of the surrounding foli
ane. In a beech hedge near the house, is
whioh the leaves of the last year still remain
at the time when the birds begin to build, the
wrens form tho outside of their nests entirely
o1 the withered loaves of the heath, so that,
large as it is, the paeser•by would never take
itfor anything more than a chane collootlou
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
apruoe-tree, she covers it with green moss
which resembles tho foliage of the spruce.
Tho little white throat builds her neat an
the ground, at the root of a tree or in long
withered grass, anti carefully arches it over
with the surrounding, herbage and to hide
hot little white eggs, planes a loaf in fronttol
the entrance wheuever she loaves her rest.
When the partridge quite her eggs for the
purpose of feeding, she covers them in the
most careful manner, and even closes the
path. by which she goon to and fro thrrugh

and hides her neat and eggs by Dov 0ring them
with dead loaves, sticks and otheraubotanceo
whioh she afterward smooths carefully over

Breakfast Among the Tartars.
1 went into ono of the stone built re-
cesses, where several of our Tartare were
crouching round a small grass roob fire,
and was considerably edified by wa'ohing
thein cooking and dispatching their morn-
ing repast. To begin with, a vary dirty
copper vessel was put on bhe fire and filled
with some green weed like nettles, barley
flour and water. While one of tho men
stirred this pottage round and round with
a wooden Judie another produced some raw
meat—a bit of the dong I had shot. This
ho peeweodorl to tear up into small strips
and throw then on the tire, every now and
then popping a ra v lump into bis month
and masticating it with the greatest appar•
ont gusto. Liven the bite on the fire were
quickly disposed of after being merely
singed.
Al soon as rho pottage was considered
reedy it was ladled out into lIttlo wooden
cups. like the whiskey "vuaigbe" of the
Highlands, minus the handles, wbich 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 pot was emptied, the cups were carefully
linked glean and redeposited from whence
they had been taken. Another course of
the flesh was about: to be partaken of after
the manner of the arse, 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
