State fair, The Captan’s Pledge. One evening, a party of old snip- maslers met at a sueial supper. Afei lie clotb was removed, and the wine oegan lo circulate freely, some of th. jider captains commenced spinning yarns about their own adventures sea. Among the number was Captain Suiter as Hue a man as ever trod a leek. It was observed that be drank nothing but water; and when it be came Ins turn to entertain the com^an) vith a story he began as follows. ‘Well, shipmates, to show you wh) I don’t find can’t drink with you, so that yoa won’t take my refusal as a mark of coldness or disrespect-. I will [give you a chapter from the story of! ny early sailor life. It is an important [chapter, too ; for on the incideut I am ibout to relate, the whole of my sub- quent manhood was built. T was very young when I first wen 0 sea, and at the age of fourteen I [considered myseif quite a sailor. W hen was eighteen I was shipped on board tn East Indiaman for a long voyng There were sin of us on board of abuu he same age, and we had about tht arne duties to perform. The ship— theol i L,dy Duulop—was a large one,j And our crew was large in proportion, there were fifty two told We ‘boys,’j Cts we were called messed together, and u all other respects, were separate from[ he icst of the erew t just as much at he offici noble ;:d generous, cut not vory strict. Now we boys had learned, in tin [course i f our travels, to drink our grog is well as any sailors. W nett we coulu gel on shore we would invariably in dulge in our cups and not unlrcquenilj would we come off in a state anything uui sober. I said ‘we’ but there was one of our number, who could not be iu- Jueed to touch a drop of anything in—j t'xicating. His name was John W htteJ Now Jack not only refiairied! from drinking himself, but he ussd [sometimes to ask us to let the stufl alone.| ie gave that job up, however, for w made such sport of him that lie was lad to let us alone. Rut- our captai ad sharp eyes, and it was not long be tore he began to show Jack luvois] which he did not show to us. He would often take him on shore with him it impend the night, and such things as that,I 1 hut wasn’t all. lie ieart.ed faster ihai wc did; he was a better sailor, and hau earned mo>e ol navigation. Ji got so at' ‘length t>.at JacK was lied upon to taicc the deck sometime when the officers were busy: and in ed to work out the reckoning at nooi jas regularly as did the captain. Yet ;;ck was in our incss, and he was i [constant eyesore. We saw that he wa reaching rapidly ahead of us in ever} uso-iui particular, and yet vve wouldn i >pcn our eyes. We were euviuus of] ins good fortune, as we called it, anu usee to seize every opportuu.ty to lease mm. But he never got angry in return.j tic sometimes would laugh at us, and jut others he would so feelingly ciudi :. that we wouid remain sileut for lale. , ‘At length the idea entered our heade: hat Jack should drink with us. W talked the matter over in the mess, lale Jack was absent, and we tnutu- ry is short. In my earliest childhood I never knew what it was to have a hap py home. My lather was a drunkard [Ouec he had been a good man and a oood husband, but ruin ruined, all hi manhood and made a brute cf lain. I can remember how cold and cheerless the winter used to be.

A nd I saw other jctaldren of my own age dressed warm Did comfortable, and I knew they were nappy, for they laughed and sang as they bounded along toward school. These boys had sober fathers I knew hat their fathers were no better than nine had been.once; for rny motliei •iad told me how noble my father could be if rum were notin his way. ‘Time passed on and 1 was eight years old, and those eight years had jeen years of such sorro w and suffer- ng as I pray Gud I may never again x perieiice.

BY DR L. B. LANE. The Siamese bow. The Siamese have a wood that is. solid and at the same time very springy. [Of this they manufacture bows that they use with great effect, as occasion nay require.

While at tbe hou^e of one the ‘ox- 'perts’ I asked him to take his bow aiud balls and show me just how the thing, watdone.
