Captain Hurricane ,Jones. There AV9,S O. good. deal of pleasant gefeep &beat old Captain " Hurricane " Janes, of the Pacific Ocean—peace to hie ashes ! Two or three of Us present had knewit him; I, rarticial.arly well, for I had made four sea voyages with wee. Ife t4s a very remarkable man. gerwas boxed in a ship; he picked up" what little education he had among his shipmates ; he began life in the fore- castle and climbed grade by grade to the captaincy, More than 50 years of hit 65 were vent at sea. He had sail- ed all oceans, seen all lands, and. bor- rowed a tint from all climates. When a rcian has been 50 years at seta he eeeessarrily knows nothing of nien, noth- ing of the werld but its surface, noth- ini tf the world's thOught, nothing of the world's learning but its A B 0, and that blurred and clistorted by the un- focused lenses of an untrained mind.' Such a trum is only a gray and bearded child. That is what old. Hurricane - Jones was—simply an innocent, lovable old infan-t. When his spirit was in re- pose, he was as sweet and gentle as a, girl; when Ins wrath was III) he was a hurricane that made his nickname seem tamely descriptive, He was fornaida,ble in a fight, for he was of powerful build and danntleSs courage. He was fres- coed from head to heel with pictures and, mottoes tattooed in red and blue ink. I -was with him one voyage when he got his last vacant space tat- tooed; this vacant space was around his left ankle. During three days he stumped about -the ship with his ankle bare and swollen, and this' legend gleam- ing red and angry out from a clouding of Indian ink—" Virtue is its OWas.li,'d..” (There was a lack of room). He was aeeply and. sincerely pious, and swore like a fishivonaan. He considered swear- ing blameless, because sailors would not understand an order unillurnined by it. He was a profound Biblical scholar—that is, he thought he was. He believed everything M the Bible, but he had his own methods of arriving at his beliefs. He was of the advanced school of thinkers, and appliedinatural laws to the interpretation of all miracles somewhat on the plan of the peeple who make the six days of creation -_six 'goo= logical epochs, and so forth. Without being aware of it, he was a rather se- vere satire on modern scientific religion- ists. Such a man as I have been de- scribing is rabidly fond of disquisition and argument ; one knows that without being told it. One day the captainhad_ a clergyman on board, but did not know he was a. clergyman, since the passenget list did not betray the fact. He took a great likina to this Rev. Mr.Peters, and. talk- ed with him a great deal—told him yarns, gave him toothsome scraps of personal history, and wove a glitterine streak of profanity through his garrul- ous fabric that was refreshing to a spirit weary of ,the dull neutralities of undecorated speech. One day the captain said "Peters, do you read the Bi- ble?" " Well—yes." "1 judge it ain't often, by . th el way yeti say it. •Now, you tackle it in dead earnest once, and you'll find it'll pay. discouraged, but hang , you won't understand by things *ill begin to Don't you got right on. Firs it ; but by and. clear up, and. tl en you wouldn't lay it down to eat." "Yes, I have heard that said." " And it is so, too. There ain't a book that begins with it. It lays over "tem all, Peters. There's some pretty tough things in it—there ain't any get- ting around that—but you stick to them and think them out, anal when once you get an the inside everything's plain as day." "The miracles, too, captain ?" " Yea, sir, the miracles, too. Every one of them. Now, there's that business with the prophets of Baal; like en.ough that stumped your "Well, 1 don't know, but--" e" Owu up, now; it stumped you. Well, I cleat wonder. You hadn't had any experience in ravelling such things out, and naturally it was too many for you. Would, you like to have me ex- plain that thing to you, and show you • how to get at the meat of these mat- ters?" • " Indeed I would, captain, if you don't mind.' Then the captain proceeded. as ,t lows: , " Ill do it with pleasure. First, you see, I read and read, and thought and thought, till I got to uuderstand what sort of people they were in. the old Bi- ble times, and then after that it was all clear and easy. Now, this was the weer , I put it up, oonceialing Isaac [this is the captain's own Mistake] and the prophets of Baal. There -were 'so -me mighty sharp men amongst the public char- acters of that old ancient I day, and Isaac was one of them. DELO, had his failings—plenty of them, too; it ain't for me toLipolouize for Isaac; he played. it on the prollet of Baal, and like enough he was j ustifiable, eOnsitiefing the odds that was against him. Now, all I say is, 'twa'n't any' miracle, Lula thrall SlIONST you sols't yoU can see it yourself. "'Veil, times had been getting rough- er and rougher for prophets—that4s, prophets of Isaac's denomination. There was four himarcd and. fifty prophets of -. Baal in the community, and only one -Presbyterian ; that is, if Isaac was a Presbyterian, which. I reckon he was, but it don't say. Naturally the proph- ets of Baal took- all the trade. Isaac‘ was pretty low-spirited, I reckon, but be was a good deal of a man, and no doubt he went a-propheqing around, / letting on to be doing a land, office busi- ness, butt wa'n1 any use; he couldn't run any opposition to amount to any- thing. Ily and by things -‘ !tot desperate with himLe .; lie sets his 1 aelto work and thinks it all out..adla then What does he (lo ? Why, he begins to throw out hints that the other parties are this and that and roam-- -ilothing•very definite, may be, but just kind. of undermining- their reputation in a quiet way. This made talk, of course, a la finally got to the T king, he king sked Isaac what he meant by his talk, Says itiaite, ' Oh, nothing particular ; only, cantheypray down tire from heaVell 011 au altar ? It ain't much, may be, your majesty, only can they do it? That's the idea.' So the king was a good deal disturbed, and he -went to tint prophets of Baal, and they said, pretty airy, that if the had an altar read‘, they were ready; and they intimated he better get it insured, too. " So 'text morning all the children of Israel and their parents and. the other people gathered themselves together. ever Well, here 'was that —great crowd of prophets of Baal packed together on one side, and Isaac walking up and down all alone on the other, putting up his job. When time was ealledeIsa,ac let on to be comfortable and indifferent; told the other team to take the first in- nings. So they went at it, the whole four hundred and 'fifty, praying around. the altar, very hopeful, and Aping their level best. They prayed an hour—two- hours—tbree hours—and So on plumb till noon.' It eva'n't ea,ny use; they had, n't tea a triek. Of , course' they felt kind of ashamed before all these people, and well they might. Now, what:would a, a menanimous man do ? Keep still, wouldn't ? Of course. What did Isaac do? He gravelled the prophets of Baal every way he could. think of. Says he, You don't speak up loud.• . -enough; your god's asleep, like enough, or maybe he's taking a walk; you want to holler, you know '—or words to that effect; I don't recollect the exact lan- guage. Mind, I. don't apologize for Isaac • he had his faults. "Well, the prophets of Baal prayed. along the best they knew how all the afternoon, and. never raised al spark. At last, about sundown, they were all tuckered out, and they owned up and quit. "What does Isaac do now? He steps tip and says to some friend of his there, Pour four barrels of water on the al- tar 1' Everybody was astonished ; for the other side had prayed at it dry, you know, and got whitewashed. They pour- ed it on. Says he, Heave on four bar- rels more.' Twelve barrels, you see, al- together. The water ran all over the altar, and all down the sides, and filled up a trench around. it that would. hold. a -couple of hogsheads—' measures,' it says; I reckon it means about a hogS- ead. Some of the people were going t put on their things and. go, for they allowed he was crazy. hey didn't know Isaac. Isaac knelt down and. be- gan to pray—he strung along, and. strung along, about the heathen in dis- tant lands, and about the sister -churches, and about the State and the count' at large, and about these that's in the Government, and all the usual programine, you know, till everybody had. got tired and gone to thinking about something else, and then, all of a sudden, when nobody was noticing, he outs -with a inateli aud rakes it on the under side of his leg, and puff! up the whole thing blazes' like a house on fire ! Twelve barrels of water ? Petroleum, sir, petroleum! that's what it was.!" •" Petroleum, captain ?" " Yes, -sir ; the country was fau of it. Isaac_knev,r all about that. You read. the Bible.

One morning, Mr. Pluuket, taking an early walk, was overtaken by two re- spectable -looking men, carpenters ap- parently by -trade, each carrying the implements -of his work.
