Pace Tobacco Co., Richmond, Va., and Montreal, Canada. ARCHIE HUTCHINGTON. I do not love the sea ! I am almost painfully aware that in mak- ing this frank avowal of my sentiments I am committing a twofold error -that lam tilt- ing alike against the edicts of fashion and the laws of,romance • but I can not help it. I suppose I ought to love the sea, but I do not. Almost everyone else does, but I oan not, We do not always do exactly as we ought, I regret to say • and besides, as the sea is not my enemy, 1 do not know that I am called, upon to love it against my natural instincte, just for conscience sake. - But I suppose I ought in justice to be prepared to render a good and sufficient rea- • son for not feeling with the generality of mankind upon this subject. Let me see, then, if I have any. Yee, I am by birth, edueation, and habits of thought and feeling, strictly a conserva- tive; coneequently, I hate and dread all change, and thus the perpetual restlessness of the sea, its unquiet heaping up and roll- ing over, wearies my very spirit. And then, too, I am a utilitarian, and also endowed with an anestimated amount of inertia or in- dolence ; and all the waste energy of the sea, fuesing and foaming, seems to me simp- ly superflucne ;. this • constant ebbing and flowing, running in and running out, swell- ing and subsidiug, coming and going, what does it all 'amount to? And then, again, there is ever present to me a sense of its terrible perfidy -so calm, so ensiling, and • yet so deadly treacherous ! Sparkling upon its surface, all light -and life and lovelineas; reflecting all heaven's brightest huee. And yet beneath that gayly winning exterior rolls the deadly under -tow, sucking its con- fiding victims down to death and oblivion--. ite treachery the more repellent from con- . treat with its winning surface. Ah ! truly, "a false friend is worse by far than an open enemy ." and I have never liked the sea since thtime when, a believing and confid- ing child, I used to cast my bread (ated but- ter) in faith upon its waters, and never got it back again, as my Sunday lessons had led me to expect I should do. Now, it would not seem, at the firat glance, that -this my constitutional dislike to the eea was a fact of importance enough in itself to be chroni- cled as a matter of intereet to the general reader, and, as an abstract idea, I do not so regard it myself; but it has a bearing upon the coming story, and it was only in refer- ence to that that I have ventured to record a fact so entirely personal. I had been wearied and worn by a closer application than usual to my professional duties ; and, having •ignored premonitoeies and slighted friendly cautions, I became at length really too feeble to attend to business, and had to call in regular medical advice. "My dear Sir," said the doctor, after he had, by sundry professional thumps and punches, by manifold cross-questions 'and ingenious investigations • .made him- self "master of my situation," "you have not any actual disease ;heart and lunge, spine, brain, liver and kidneys, all seem to be in good condition; you have no sickness about you !" " Very well, doctor," 1 retorted ; "so far so good ; but please explain to me a, little fwuerltlh7, : if I am not sick, why am I not • The doctor laughed. "You have often heard, no doubt," he said, "that 'the re- verse of wrong is not always right.' You are not sick, but you are simply run down by too much mental labor,and a little nerv- ous, perhaps." "Run down?,' I said. "Ah ! that's it, is it? Then, if you have a key to my ma- chinery, pleaae wind me up again, will you ?" "Just what I propose to do. I shall not preteribe medicine for you, for you do not require it." "Doctor, you area jewel, and a credit to your profession." "What you need," continued my adviser, not heeding my laudatory interruption'"is rest and change of scene. You need brae' ing up, that is all; and I am going to send you to the sea -side for a month. Yod must give up your business,even in thought. Your mind has been running in one grow:re too long; we mast try to change its direction." " Splendid ! doctor. I wonder I did not think of that myself, I suppose I should if I had been a physician. It sounds reason- able, and I like it. Only one thing, dnotor -I don't like the sea." "Do you ? Well, that is a matter of ste, I suppose, and ; but I'll tell u what, I'll go to the White Mountains." "Don't want you to." " Yes," I said, unheeding his interruption he had mine; "the very beat thing, I do lieve-change of air, and change of scene - 1 do it. Crawford's, Flume, Glen House, ta yo AS be- • Summit House, Tiptop, eta. -I'll do them all, never fear." "Stop 1" thundered the doctor; "1 don't, want you to do then')." , "Why, doctor, bleats your soul 1 what do you me ei ? ; Dide't ;you yourself just say I must tr change of eir and scene ?" "1 sa d eea-side." ' " And I; told you Ithat I don't like the sea -cold, dsinp, atickY, salt and fishy! I do not like st. esesidee, on the mountains a man mayfind something to do, But the sea offers no attraction ibut the- oue bare chance pf ge Wu ,drowned. I I'll go to the moun- tains'if You say so." " NVelq1 don't. You can go just 1 where you please, of course, for all me, But the mouulsaie legs are net what you want; you need the bracing sea -air." - "But, 400tor, I tell you I don't like the sea," ;! " No,"skid my dilator, "1 suppose not.. People don't like their medicine, es a genit- al thing, I'helieve. I But I tell you it is what you Want," 1 , The sicicman whp undertakes to argue with, his physician argues with all the odds against hint, ; it is 'generally "a foregone conclusion.' . i . " Well," said at last, "I'll try it. But I tell you new, it won't suit me, and I shall be just as dell as death there,I know I shall. But if you say so, I"can but try it, I will at least take plenty of books with me, and it will be e quiet place to read and write and study iii; ' I no !" said my medical tyrant; "that is expressly ferbidden. You are to , do no such thing. ,You are not to touch 4 book 1 or pen, on think about business while you are there." • i I "But, bless your soul and body, doctor! what em 1 to I do ?" , " Play labou b like a boy -lie on the beach, look at the weves and clouds; pick black- berries, if yen can find them, and try not to think of -a yi thing in particular -but give your minkl c mplete rest; that is what you want." . Of course I ent to the sea -side, and of couree I I was miserable there. I knew I should be. I ad absolutely nothing to do, , and I was out ef my element entirely. A man who hatbeen an active thinker and worker all hisife Ands it hard to stop his mental machinery 411 at once, and knock off work of head and hand at the will of anoth- er ; at last I found it so.

" Seems to me I (mo1d1't breathe free any where else," he said, as h13 drew in a long, deep inspirittion. "1 w e born here, and hey lived here all my day; I was never out of sight of the sea, nor y t out of sight of the land." Then we telked of shies and shipping; of a seit-life,of its hardshiPs and ite changes; of storms and wrecks ; and then of foreign conntries and their wonders; of the strange lands over the seas; of the rich old cities of the East; and of their ma.vele, of whioh he had heard froin hie sea- aring neighbors; while hie keen good sena , aud quick native hunuir,heightened by the quaint laungage in whioh he expreeeed his m ening, gave a raci- ness to the simplest detai a which he fur- nished me. And then we ,poke of California, ite early riches and it. onderful vegeta- tion; and he told me of ne of his tow men who went out to Western El D ado in the earliest daiyLi of gold-diggi and something of the w life and etre ,adventures of vishich he brought home oounts. "But did he bring home nothing m substantial ?" I asked, "Did not he m age to gather up his pile ?" "Well, I can't say punctually about th Yes; folks thought so at the time, anyho I remember, when he first come home, kinder sorter sparkled round consid'ab and talked awful big ; and his folks, th seemed to be on-eommou set up, and to f mighty nice about them days.

That was the way they done it, no doubt on't; stands to reason they did; 'emus, don't you see, Sir, if they hed all on um given way to their unO6m- fortahility of temper, and eaoh on um acted out their own onregenerate nater, why in course they'd hey stove the -bottom out of that thundering old tub of his in less than no thrie, and she'd a' foundered, and they'd all gone to the bottom, and there wouldn't hev been DO call for any more wedding rings, that's sartin ; and where you and I would be now, it's a mighty hard thing to say. , "But, as I was eaiying, they didn't; they behaved beautiful!

I thought, from what I had heard, that you Were not a very religious man • how is that ?"! " said my old companion, perusieg my face keenly and wistfully as he spoke, "1 dunno 'bout that. Folks say that of me, do they? Well, that would be a bad character to own up to, any way, that would ; and I'd be mighty loth to do it for one. I s'pose folks they says it of me that I ain't religious 'cause I don't go to meeting as much as some does; and that's true enough; no more I don't. "But then, yer see, there's two ways of looking at 'that (as well as 'roost every thing else in this world), and 'cording to my no- tion, I'm too religious to go to meeting. You eee, Sir, I was allers kind of old-fash- ioned in my build; and I'm an old man now, and I've got dreadful old-fashioned ways. Well, I was brung up by my own mother to love and riverence the Holy Bible (mother called it 'the Word of God% and to believe every word on't, Every thing between them two old leather covers was sacred truth to me, and holy. Why, even to the births, deaths and marriages on the front -leaves ! Why, who could dare to , tput a lie in there? I thought no man living 'could be wicked enough to do that.

You know what- I mean, Sir, I dare say; for it ain't on'y here they hes it, more's the pity • I'd heered on't, , and pne day one of my neighbors, a goodish sort of a man he was too, he says to me, "Mr. at of the sea, for which he Hueteihiinget.en,' he says, 'do you believe in s Blister.

Dowa the street through the busy way A lady passed on marketing day. Who, pausing at a grocery store, Stepped quickly in at the open door. With bated breath and anxious mien She queried : "have you COTTOLENE?" The grocer, leaving off his Interrogated every clerk ; But none up to that time had seen An article called" COTTOLENE." "What is it?" said he to the dame, "That answers to thit curious name. What is it made of? What's its use? My ignorance you'll please excuse." "You're not the merchant for mydimes, I see you're quite behind the times. For COTTOLENE, I'd have you know, Is now the thing that's all the go, An article of high regard; A healthful substitute for lard.- lts composition pure and clean; For cooking give me COTTOLENB.". As from his store the lady fled, The grocer gently scratched his head - On his next order, first was seen, sfeku douse eases COTTOLEN.E." Ask Your Grocer for it. Made only by N. K. FAIRBANK & Wollibgton and Ann Streets, MONTREAL, lieve in the whole Bible, do you, Mr. Hutch- ington ?' 'Yee,' says I, do; every word on't fro lle beginning to end, from Genesis to Revelations.' " Oh, pshaw 1' says he; no you don't, now.' "'Do,too,' says I; 'every word on't.' " says he, 'there's a great deal on't that I don't believe 1' "'Sorry for you,, then,' says I, that's all.' "'Stop a miaute, do, now,' says he, 'and don't yer get into a huff.' " I ain't huffy, not a mite,' says I. " 'Well,' he says, 'just answer me this : what do yer make of Solomon's Song?' • "'Make of it?' I says; 'I don't make no- thing of it; I hain't no call to.' " 'Well,',he says, 'but what do you think of it? Do per onderstand it ?' "'Think of it?' says I. ' Well, I suppoee it has got some good meaning that I ain't up to and don't understand. I s'spose it's dunno as I do rightly know ; I guess it's kind of Or'ental, somehow - ain't it?' " 'It's jest an old Hebrew love -song,' says he; 'that's what it is. Old Solomon, he was a master hand at courting, they Bay; and that song of his'n basn't nothing to do with the Bible nor religion.' "Land sake 1' says I • 'do tejl ! And how come it to be in the Bible, then !' "Got in by mistake, I s'pose,' says he; 'it didn't oughter to be there. Why, you nen see for yourself that there ain't no more religion in it than there is in Yankee Doodle.' "'Oh, hush 1' says 1; 'I never ! Why, how yer talk ; yer scare me !' But come to think on't after he had gone I didn't know but what he was part right ; and when I read it over after that, it didn't seem the same to me as it used to; and --well, I didn't care nothing for Solomon -and so I gave it up. "Well, after a while they fell foul of 'Bell and the Dragon,' and Queen Esther'and 'Haehuerus, and al ehem. Why, I used to set of a Sunday afternoon, after meeting, and read all 'bout Haman and his wicked- ness, and the pretty, innocent queen ; and 'bout 'Bell and the Dragon, and them prieets, you know, that had a door under the table, and used to come in with their wives and children and steal the meats ; and how real cute Nessel was, to put miles on the floor, and bringthem all out; and all that 'bout Esdras, you know, going out in- to the fields and eating flowers, and seeing wonderful sights; real pretty abode's they was, and I used to love to read um, and thought I was doing my duty too, and that I was all the better'of it. " 'Well,' says the new -light folks to me one day, 'you don't's'pose there's any relig- ion in them old stories, do yer? Them is only old Jewish history,' says they, 'and you might jest as well set and read Robber - son Crnsoe.' "'Why,' says I, "how yer talk ! I would not read Robberson Crusoe on the Lord's Day for nothing. I never read no sich books of a Sunday-nevet.' "'Oh, well? saye they, 'read jest what you like, of eourae ; but I guess all that tield stuff won't do you much good, any way.' "Well, I knewed very well that them stories was all in the 'Pocryphy,and I know - ed that meant it was oncertain who writ um; but, laws! that didn't make much odds to me, 'cause, yer see, I didn't rightly know who writ any, of the liible ; but when I come to kinder think it out, I dunno as they was much in the way of religion; and so, though they was real nice stories ('bout Tobit and all), I give um up for Sabbath - day reading. 1 "Well, how long was that a -going to last? Pretty soon they took another turn at it, and this time it was, 'You don't be- lieve in the devil, Ilhope ?' "'Yes,' says I, '1 do; don't see how you can any of you doubt on that pint. Pm. sure he's round here oft n enough to make us be- lieve in him, if we idn't want to, ever so. Believe in him ?-3,, es." 'Oh ! well,' sas they, 'we don't be- lieve in him, and n� more don't the minis- ter.' " `No ?' says L tWell, I don't s'pose the minister sees as much of him in his dealings as I her to in mine 1; and I hope ye'll never hev to change yer belief,' "Oh !' says they.ts‘jest as you like; do as ger please ; if yer like the devil, hold on to him, and stand up for him -all right.' "But, yer see I didn't like the devil ; I didn't want to be op his side, and I didn't mean to. fight for him orestand up for him; and so, as they kept on talking at me, I -- well, there 1-I let the devil go. . "But laws, Sir! ,1 soon found out giving up didn't do no sort of good: for the more that I give up, the More I might. The next cry was against the maraclea. 'You don't believe in maraoless do yer?'
