TILI VOYAGE OF THE "AMERICA."
—
"If you're acquainted with any folks
that tell a yarn like that, you'll take it
easy about the 'America.' Most folks
don't. I've seen men sit and tell my
• grandfather and Cap'n _Elwell to their
face they lied.
"You see Cape Cod yonder—thatIgray-
ish streak. Can't see it every day.W,
it was the fust of J armory when the
'America' lost her rudder. It, was tie
fust of August when she was picked tp.
As true as St. John wrote the Gospel1e-
fore he lost his bead, that there sch

somewhere between Cape Ann a' d

next. And of all the souls aboard li r,
only one—but I'll tell you about h m

how onsailed the waters were in th m
days. Though what with the war and
trade, I could never understand it o y
on the ground of luck. They'd got t e
devil's luck.
"First month, they couldn't none of
'ern understand how bad the positi n
was. Expected to be picked up, I si p -
pose. Or thought, they'd run the chai ce

"When you come to think of it, h
all that time the schooner was driv
up and down like a dead cops at t e

me it must bave give them a feeli
enough to make a man go mad. It gisfes
me a sensation to the brain to think o 't

grandfather after all those years set in
our setting -room and tell, with
the tears a -streaming down his cheeks,
to remember of the suffering that th y
had.
"Once I've heerd, one April d y,
there'd been a fog, and j it lifted sudd n,
peeling off with a nor -wester? and t to

at once there come an awful cry amo
'em. It was the young man Bub. He
was standing in the bows with his hauls
above his eyes to look.
"And all the boys crawled up to s e.

the wind it shifted, and) the tide s t

fall come, they had drifted out of sig Lt
again.
"From that hour, folks say, the popr
lad kind of battened out. He couldn't
eat the aecoa as the rest did, and the
rum it disagreed with him, and the
drought fell on in June, and the heat
come. He crawled into a little corner
forward that betook a fancy to, and set,
this way with his hands about his knees,
and his eyes kind of staring from his
head. Times they tried to talk to him,
but nothing could they get. Only
now and then he talked a Jumble in a
gentle way, but mostly all they could.
make Of it was the poor young woman's
name.
" 'Annie ? Annie?' softly over like
that, as he was asking her a question.
'Annie?' he'd say, says grandfather.
Nigh as I can make out, I think the
heat must have gone harder by 'em than
the cold.

and spin before you, as you'd see it in la

you'd feel, as you hadn't eaten anything I

corning -to you all at once how fat that
kitten was, and well-to-do, and your
own folks feeding h er while 3 ou was
starving. 'I can understand,' eays my
grandfather, 'forever after how the fel-
low felt in Scripter, when he aic,1 the
servants in his father's hou e had
bread enough, and some to spare. It
was a very natural state of mind,' says
grandfather:
"One chap, he says, was mostly
troubled to know who his wif would
marry after he was dead. They
was a fellow he'd been jeal up of,
and it bothered him, It was a second
_wife, too.
"I don't know how it was ab ut the I
fishing. Whether it was lines th y lack- I

it was both, but there was a net, and
they got a mortal few.
-'About the middle of July, there hap-
pened a cur'ous thing. The cocoa was
gone. The day was hellish hot. They
was perishing for water and for food.
Then up the Cap'n rises, slow and solemn
like a ghost among a crew of ghosts, and,
says- he : 'Let us pray.'
" I can't say if it had just occurred to
him. or if he'd ever said the same be-
fore. All I know is, how he said: 'Let
us pray,' says Cap'n Elwell. Well, they t

all began to say their, prayers in turns,

A Model Wife's Letter.
True love, not content to bask in the
1 sunshine without an umbrella handy in
1 case of rain, finds fit expre sion in the
following letter, which he Danlsury
(Conn.) News has divulged:
My Dear Husband: I t here' lait
night all safe, and was met t the statin
; by uncle and aunt. They ere so glad
; I had come, but were sorry that you
were not along. I miss yi u so much.
Wehad hot rolls for breakf st this morn-
ing, and. they were so delici us.' I wait
you to be so happy while I am here.
Don't keep the meat up sta rs. It will
surely spoil. Do you mis me now?
Oh! if you were only here f but for an
hour. Has Mrs. O'P ronght back
your shirts? I hope the osoms will
suit you. You will find the milk tickets
in the clock. I forgot to tel you about
them when I came away. 1 What did
you do last evening? Werle you lone-
some without me? Don't fo get to scald
the rnilk every morning. nd I wish
you would see if I left the potatoes in:
the pantry. If 1 did they n ust be sour
by this time. How are you getting
along? Writeenae all aboul it. But I
must close now. Oceans of ove to you',
Affectionately your wife,
P.S.—Don't set the te pot on the
stove.
Side -Aisle Tra h.
A good illustration of the manner in
which many Americans reco ise while
pretending to ignore social c nditions in
religious matters is afforded y the story
of one of our former church s xtons. At
a brilliant church wedding some of the
ushers showed some very vorthy but
socially obscure people into good seats
in the middle aisle As 6001 as he dis-
covered it, the pompous sexton hastened
to the usher and exclaimed"Did you
give the —a that seat n' "Yes."
"What on earth did you d that for?
Did you not know that they were only
side -aisle trash ?"
