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

"Stop 1" thundered the doctor; "1 don't,

"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

man mayfind something to do, But the sea
offers no attraction ibut the- oue bare chance

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

is expressly ferbidden. You are to , do no
such thing. ,You are not to touch 4 book

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

were singing t ,g ther ; it was a hymn tune

clear, flexible, young voice ringing out upon
the fresh air, ometimeil supported by, but
oftener suPportieg, the old man's piping
treble, or quav ring- bas.
I waited unt'lti-he hymn was ended, and
then joined !th 1m They both rose, the old
man, with i 'stilnetive courtesy, drawing
nearer -to the irl to offer Me a share of the
humble acciommodatioes. Of course I ac-
cepted the poi teness ; and then we -that
is, the old nafi and 1 -fell into desultory
conversation. 1 '
We talked fi
eicpreased that fervent i and enthueiaetic
attachment usual to lifelong dwellers upon
its borders, but with which I could not
sympathize as warmly as ,I conld have wish-
ed to do.
" 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

"But did he bring home nothing m

"Don't yerjuppose, Sir, that there wa
uncomfortability of temper enough in Noah
ark, with all them odds -and- ends of ere
tion, oreeters that wasn't nowaye agreeabl
to one another's feelings All messed in t

wolves, foxes and geese, chiekens and wee,

stable -room accommodation,- I tell you
How was it 'bount uncomfor ability of tem
per there, do you s'pose.? Why, don't you
see, they had to commodate ill of em; jest
luff and bear away,' as the s dors say; the
lion, I epose, he roared kinder soft like, so
as not to skeer the turtle -doves; and the
hyenay, she did not laugh out as loud as she
wanted to, I dare say ; the big bear, he
kinder shut up growling; and the Nann'roo
took care not to leap on other folksee toes ;
the horse was keerful not to kick up his
heels; and if the dog felt as mad as fire, he
didn't bite nobody. 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. ,

much', an onateady, drinking man he allera
was, you know; wasn't he, Sir? and not
. used to navigating, by no means. Bilt I
will say fort, he managed that cruise re-
markably well, considering what his cargo
was, and that his crew Was half women -

" Well, really, Mr. Ha▪ t- chington," 1 said,
laughing at the old man's earnestness, "you
seem to be remarkably well posted up in the
Bible any way. 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.
" Well, after a while this doubting and
questioning and free - thinking begun.
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. I " 'Oh no !' says he, " But yer don't be -

A SHORTENING.
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.

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?'
