The W iz- atd slightly bowed to the ocean, and the sails seemed great black patches, war¬ ing to and fro against the sky. The six boys, so soon to be misera¬ ble, gathered in a cluster on deck. Jed Coles proposed that we “spin yarns.” It was the nautjcally correct way of pass- for the occasion. He sat on a tub, put an enormous chew, of tobacco in his mouth, hitched up his trousers and felt every inch a sailor. - I noticed the Beoond mate, that incarnation of evil and bru¬ tality, hovering about us, dark as it was. I saw his fiendish grin and the glare of his greenish eye. A precious lot of young fools we must haVe seemed to him. A little after our yam spinning was interrupted by shrieks and cries of distress proceeding from the forward part of the ship. We had then our first exhibition of the manner of enforcing American merchant service discipline. The second mate was beating Cum¬ mings, a simple being, who, having sailed only in and tyff}*' vessels, had made the mistake of ship¬ ping as an ordinary seaman on a much square rigged craft, and was almost as at sea in his knowledge of the ropes as the ‘•‘boys." This officer had singled out Cummings for his awkwardness as the proper man to “haze.” He was shower¬ ing upon him blows, thick and fast, with the end of one of thofprebraces. It was the first time I had ever seen ft man beaten by one in authority. The cring¬ ing attitude, the cries, sobs and suppli¬ cations of a tall grown man, and the oaths and terrible ferocity of his casti- gator, were inexpressibly shocking to me. The incident, which was often re¬ peated during the voyage,' broke np our amateur yarning and made us very thoughtful naufcical- Jedediah Coles was not at all ly loquacious the next sight. Then the Gulf Stream gave us a touch of its tan¬ trums. All during the afternoon'the sky grew more and more threatening. By dark it was blowing hard. The lighter sails one by one were stowed. Then it blew harder- The mate swore the harder. The captain came on deck and swore at everybody. One of would the “boys” asked him if he thought it be stormy. He considered himself prm ileged to ask the captain that question. He was a native of the same village. His father and the captain were friends, and his mother and the captain’s deemed wife it visited each other. So lie advisable to establish himself on a socia¬ ble footing with the captain at the com¬ mencement of the voyage. Poor boy! Never again during the trip did he con¬ sult the captain meteorologically. which He learned speedily the great gulf yawns between the cabin ana the fore¬ castle. It grew dark, the waves became big¬ ger and bigger, and the ship seemed taxed to her utmost trying to clamber them one after another «s they presen ted themselves. The mates came out in their oilskins. When the order came to reef, and I saw toe men clambering up toe tore and main rigging, I added myself should to their number, though I felt I never come down again—at least in one piece. It was my debut aloft off soundings. Many a time had I clambered about toe rigging of the old whalers as they lay at the village wharf, but they were not roaring, kicking and {dunging like this vessel Heavy seamen’s boots kicked me in the face as I followed their wear¬ ers np this awful ascent; other heavy boots trod on my fingers; they shook toe ratlines, too, in a most uncomfortable, manner. The mast strained and groaned fearfully. Somehow, after climbing over some awful chasms, I got on the yard with the men. I dared not go out ft;r. The foot rope wobbled, jerked and gave way under me at times with the weight and motion of the men upon it The great sail seemed in no humor to be furled. It hauled away from us, bellied, puffed and kept up a gigantic series of thundering flaps. Laying over on the yard the men would gather in as much of the hard, wet, wirelike canvas as stole and then together haul bock on it TWs I objected to.

I concurred.' They bade me clear out and get down on deck. I was glad to do so Reefing topsails in reality was very different from reefing them in books or in imagination. On reaching the deck I concluded to lie down: Ail through the evening I had experienced an uneasy sensation in toe stomach. I argued with myself it was not seasick¬ ness-something did not agree with me. But when I lay down in the scuppers I admitted being seasick. Then I only cared to lie there, life was too miser¬ able even to hope in. The tumult went On as ever. The sailors trampled over me. Being In the way, they dragged me aside. I cared not. Finally some one bawled in toy ear, “Sick! go below.” 1 went. The five other boys, all similarly affected, all caring naught for life or living, lay in their bunks. The boys’ house was about the size of a respectable pigpen—a single pigpen. There-was room in it for two boys to tarn at once, providing they turned slowly and carefully. On going on board we had bestowed such of our outfit as could be brought into this pen in the manner In which boys of 16 bestow things generally on first commencing to “keep house.” Everything was arranged on a terra firma basis. We made no cal¬ culation for the ship's deviating from an even keeL When she did commence to pitch everything fell down. Clothing fell on toe floor; plates, knives, forks,cups and bottles rolled from shelf and bunk; bread, meat, and the molasses pie kegs fell; plum and sponge cake, and sweetmeats fell; for each boy had a space in his sea chest filled with these articles, placed there by kind, dear relatives at home. It was intended that we should not refer to them her until tb® ship was far advanced on voyage. But we never had such large supplies of cake and sweetmeats at hand-before; so we went for these things immediate¬ ly. The house abounded with them the first night out. The roof leaked. We left our sliding door carelessly open, and ■agate-ba rr e l s of the eeean slopped, ova* toe bulwarks into the apartment. Al midnight our combined clothing, plates, mugs, knives, forks, bottles, water kegs, combs, hair brushes, hats, pants, emits, meat, bread, pie, cake, sweetmeats, mo¬ lasses, salt water, and an occasional sea- rick and despairing boy, united to form a wet, sodden mass on the floor two feet in depth. Above, the storm howled and swept through the rigging, with little sail to interrupt it. Six sick and wretched boys in their berths lay “beads and pints,” as they pack herring—that is, toe toe of one rested on the pillow of the other, for it was not possible to lie otherwise in those narrow receptacles for the living. But toe horrors of that second night aro not to be related. No solicitous stewards with basins and tenders of broth and champagne attend¬ ed »s. Wo were not cabin passengers on an ocean steamer. Barely had the next morning’s dawn appeared when our door was flung open. In it stood that dread¬ ful second mate of toe greenish eyes, hard, brick red complexion, horny fists and raspy voice—a hard, rough, rude, unfeeling man, who cried: “Come out of that! 0b, you’to youqg bears—; -your troubles ain’t commenced yet!” Then his long, bony arm gripped us, one after another, and tore us from our bunks. Out this dreadful morning we tumbled, in the wet clothes wherein we had tain all night, weak, rick, staggering, giddy. A long iron hook was put in my hand and I was desired to go forward and as¬ sist in hauling along length after length of the cable, preparatory to stowing it away. Sky and sea were all of dull, monotonous gray; the ship was still clambering one great wave after an¬ other with tiresome Mid laborious mo¬ notony. All toe canvas of $he preced¬ ing day had disappeared, save a much diminished foretopsail and storm stay¬ sail. The mates on duty were alert and swearing.

But a pure •quickly effected. In thirty-six hours seasickness had departed. With the icate petting process in vogue with wealthy cabin passengers it would required a week. But we had no in which to be seasick. Life for ns on board this ship was com¬ menced on a new basis. We were obliged to learn “manners.” among modern youth have become al¬ most obsolete. The etiquette and for¬ mality required from the younger to tbo elder, and common to the time of and knee breeches, has now little save on shipboard, where such traditions and customs linger.

PHILADELPHIA SHOCKED. nith Surprise anil Horror. Philadelphia, Dec. 17.—If news had been received here that President Har¬ rison had committed suicide it would not have created any greater horriflei surprise m this city than the telegrams announcing that Franklin B.

Perceptions Weakening. gesting This may that be perceptions taken perhaps as begin¬ sug¬ his were ning to grow teas keen mid as support¬ ing the theory that the suicide was due to aberration of toe mind. It is said that Mrs. Gowen told a close friend of the family husband's that for ten visit days previous to her last to Washington she had noticed something strange in bis conduct. It is thought by many here that Mr. Gowen’s mind became unbalanced through too close application to busi¬ ness and that toe suicide was due to this cause. Mr. Gowen'e Career.
