NAUIIAUGHT, THE BEACON.
BY JOHN C. WHI'I'IIEIL
Naubuuzht, the Indian deacon, who of old
Dwelt, poor but blameless, where his narrowing Cape
Stretches its shrunk am out to all the winds
And the relentless smiling of the waves,
Awoke one morning from a pleasant dream
Of a good angel dropping in his hand
A fair, broad gold-piece, in the name of God.
He rose and went forth with the early day
Far inland, where the voices of the waves
Mellowed and mingled with the whispering leaves.
As, through the tangle of the low. thick woods,
He searched his traps. Therein nor beast nor bird
He found; though meanwhile in the rcedy pools
The otter plush ed, and underneath the pines
back
To the sick wife and little child at home,
What marvel that the poor man felt his faith
Too weak to bear its burden.—llke a rope
That, strand by strand uncoillug, break-s above
The hand that grasps it. “ Even now, 0 Lord!
Send me." he prayed, “ the angel of my dream!
Nauhuugut is very poor; he cannot wait.”
Even as he spake, he heard at his bare feet
A low. metallic clink, and, looking down,
He saw a dainty purse with disks of gold
Crowding its silken net. Awhile he held
The treasure up before his eyes, alone
With his great need, feeling the wondrous coins
Slide through his eager fingers. one by one.
So then the dream was true. The angel brought
One broad piece onlv; should he take all these 7
Who would be wiser, in the blind, dumb woods ‘I
The loser, doubtless rich, would scarcely miss
This dropped crumb from a table always full.
Still, while he mused, he seemed to hear the cry
Of a starved child; the'slck face of his wife
Tempted him. Heart and flesh in fierce revolt
Urged the w‘.l.l license of his savage youth
Against his later scruples. Bitter toil,
Prayer, fasting. dread of blame, unrlvpitiless eyes
To watch his halting,—-had he lost for these
The freedom of the woods ;—the hunting grounds
Of happy spirits for a walled-in heaven
of everlasting psalms ? One healed the sick
Very far 00' thousands of moons ago:
Had ho not prayed him night and day to come
And cure his bed-bound wife 'I Was there a hell 7
Were all his father’s people writhing there—
Like the poor shell-fish set to boil alive—
Forever, dying never i If he kept
This gold, so needed; would the dreadful God
Torment him like aMowhawk’s captive stuck
With slow-consuming splinters '2 Up in heaven
Would the good brother deacon grow so rich
By selling runi to Indians laugh to see him
Burn like a-pitch-piue torch 7 His Christian garb
Seemed falling from him; with the fear and shame
Of Adam naked at the cool of day,
He gazed around. A back snake lay in cell

recenlly erected on the Islands off our Har~
cessfnl, and a large outlay made for it by
the enterprising men engaged in it.
It IS now about 20 years since the busi-
ness of extracting oil from menhadcu and
converting the refuse into manure was be-
an upon the shores of Peconic Bay—the
inneer Works of Messrs. D. D. Wells &
Sons at White Hill, Shelter Island, being
be‘ieved to be the first in any part of the
country; they were commenced in a small
way, and like all similar enterprises en-
eneountered much adverse criticism and
carping, but were it :adily maintained,
and in time improved by the introduc-
tion of steam as a means of cooking the
fish and expressing the oil, inszead of boil-
ing them in open pots and afterwards using
lever presses worked by hand, as had been
the practice. During these twenty years the
businesss has expanded and become system-
ized,but has fluctuated considerably, vary-
ing from year to year with the abundance
or scarcity of fish resorting to these waters.
The season for fish commences early in the
spring, when they come into the Bays for
the purpose of spawning and are then in
poor condition, yielding but little oil; these
first fish are generally taken in shore scins,
which sometimes make enormous hauls—-
one instance being well accredited wherein
One and a Half Million fish were taken at
one draught, the seine enclosing a. space of
over one mile in length. They continue in
the bays until late in thefall, or even into
the winter, but the season usually closes in
the latter part of November. The great
bulk of the fish are caught in what are called
purse nets, which, after the fish have been
surrounded, can be closed up in the manner
of a purse so as to admit of making a ban]
in any depth of water; and of unloading
the nets inloboals without having to draw
them to the shore. A “ gang” of fishermen
includes nine or ten men, and they are pro-
vided with a sloop yacht for sailing after
the fish, &c.; two carreway boats for taking
the fish from the net to the factory; and two
nets (one reserved for emergencies) measur-
ing 5,000 meshes in length by 520 in depth.
During the past year there have been 17 fuc-
tories in operation for agreater or less lime,
on the shorse of Peconic and Gardiner’s
Bays. There are several other factories
which, for various reasons, have remained
cIOsed throughout the season. In nearly all
cases the owners of the factories have two
or more gangs fishing for them, and furnish
lhe boats and nets, with all the other apps-
rutns, the fishermen supplying only their
lab::r and rcciving a stated price per thou-
sand for their share of the fish—lhe boats
taking a third; the price varied from $2.25
for the poorest to $3.25 for the best fish, and
will average for the total catchnearly $2.80
The capital invested in these factories and
in the boats, nets, &c., cannot be accurately
asculaiued, as extensive repairs and re-
newals are constantly being made; but a
careful and very moderate estimate made
by competent judges puts it at not less than
$350,000. and probably it exceeds $400,000.
Besides this sum :1. number Of our citizens
have invested largely in factories in Maine,
Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Virginia, so that the total amount invested
in the business in this vicinity and by resi-
dents of this town must exceed a Half Mil-
lion of Dollars.
The number of fish taken on the Bay (in-
ring the past season numbers 67,0?20,000, as
we have been at some pains to ascertain,
and the figures may be relied on as in the
main correct.
* * * Several of the gangs above re-
ported havu fished in the Bay but a part of
the season and then gone to other localities.
In addition to the above the shore seiues
and pounds have taken a known aggregate
of at least 5,200,000 fish, of which about
8,200,000 have been sold to farmers who ap-
plied to the land as manure, while the re-

At this sight his emotion became _
s on the day when he had seen it
: he (lured nol
rig to lose sight of the
one of his men to seek him, and induce him
to return to his work.
This was done, and Montin, grumbling
f the window!
between his teeth, quilted his comrade, and-
ascended to his workshop ; but his head was
no longer clear, nor his hand steady. To
add to his trouble, the diamond became un-
fixed; he seized it hastily to replace it; his
trembling fingers gave a jerk—and, by
tsrange fatality, the precious stone flew out
Sobered in a moment by this terrible ac-
cident, Monlin continued gazing out of the
easement as if petrified, his pale lips mur-
uiuring the words “ lost! lost! lost i”
For more than an hbur he remained mo—
tionless, and was only roused from , his leth-
argy by the entrance of his master.
“Is it thus you work, Montin ‘2” exclaimed
We understand the Factories be; “three limes have I called for the dia-
mond, and you spend your time at the fav-
ern. Give me the stone; I must have it,
finished or unfinished.”
Montin looked wildly at him without ut-
tering a wox d.
“ What is the matter with you ?” asked
“ Why don’t you answer?
Have you drunk all your senses away ‘2”
The lapidary tried in vain to speak. H is

tongue seemed paralyzed. At last he rose
and hiding his face in his hands, murmured,
“ Explain yourself. What’s happened ?"
“ Out of the window."
“ What! when E”
“The stone."
“ Well, well, well ; tell me what has oc-
curred .”
“ The stone flew out.”
It was now the turn of the master to be-
come silent with astonishment;
rious with rage, he cried.
“ I don't believe a word of your,ory;
you have sold my diamond to pay f0 y
dissipation.”
- This accusation was the coup de grace for
Monlin. He fell fainting at the feet .Of his
master ; and it was not without difficulty
that he was recalled to life; or rather to a
despair which amounted almost to madness.
The jeweller, who understood what was
passing in his mind, tried to console him,
and at last succeeded in rendering him more
calm.

“ You do not, then, believe that I sold

a No, no, Moniin, you must forget what I
said in the first moment of anger. and let
us try to find a remedy for the misfortune.

keep hiz eye on the britching when ya begin

Let me give ya some small chunks ov advice
how low spot yurc fewter hussband:
1. The man who iz jcllns 0v every little

quently, if yu hav got enny kold vitles in the
house, try him on them, once in awhile, du-
ring courting season, and if he swallers them
well, and sez he will take sum more, he i: a
man who, when a blue Monday cums, will

4. Don’t marry a pheller who is alwus a.-
telling how hiz mother duz things. It iz az
hard few suit these men as it in to wean a
yur. g one.
5. If a yung man kan beat yu playing on
a pianncr, and kant hear a fish horn pinyin
in the street without turning a back sum-
mersett on account ov the musick that iz in
him, I say skip him; he might answer few
tend babe, but if yu sett him few hoeiug in
the garden, yu will find that yu hav got few
do it yureself. A man whoze whole heft
lies in musick (and not very hefty at that),
ain‘t no better for a husband than a seedlitz
powder; but if he luvs to listen while yu
sing sum gentle ballad, yu will find him mel-
low, but not soft. But don't marry enuy
boddy for jist one virlew enliy quicker than
yu would flop a man for jist one fault.
6. It iz one of the most tufl'est things for a
female tcw be an old maid successfully. A
grate mennv haz tried it, and made a bad
job 0v it. Everybody seems tew look upon
old maids jist az they do upon dried herbs

should be willing to swap yuself oph wrth
some true phellow for ahnssband. Thoswop
is a good one, but dont swop for enny phel-
low who iz respecklable jist beknuze hiz fu-
ther i2. Yn had better be an old maid for 5
thousand ears, and then join the Shakers,
than lew uy repentance at this price. No
woman ever made this trade who didn’t git
a pliool, u mean cuss, or a clown for a. hus-
band. . . . ,
7. In digging down into this subject, I_find
the digging grows harder the farmer l git.
It iz mulch easier tew inform yuwho not
tu marry, than who tew, for the reason
