That Greenwich Sea Serpent.
The Greenwich sea serpent has been seen
again, this‘time by Captain Dalton and his
--two sons of 'the‘sloopngane Eliza. Captain
Dalton, who‘is described as a weather-beaten
hnariner about fifty years of age, with- eyes
that are blue and truthful and a face beaming
given: candor, says he was off Greenwich
‘ Point bound for New Maven, on the second
day of January, when his son dcscried the
Isrpant close to the vessel and heading to-
yard Captain‘s Island. Some ten feet of
hi‘m'was exrtosedf‘ to view. His head was
like that'of some, being flat On top and a
ifobtiand a half broad. In color it ‘was black
iwitlfgreen spots. The' left eye, which was
the only one they could 1see, was» as big as a
saucer, and stuck on out’ hisihead like a
thigh eye. Th'e‘head‘wasnabout three feet
long, or at least began to taper down about
that distance from the nose. The smaller
part continued for abOut ten feet and was
held up completely out of water. After that
it began to swell all at once until it was as
large as a barrel. Its length must have been
from thirty to fifty feet. Captain Dalton
says he has seen lots of sharks and porpoises
and all kinds of Sea creatures in his travels
allover the globe, and knows that this is a
snake. So many parties claim .to have seen
a marine monster 01f Greenwich in the last
year or two that :ité‘looks as if the creature

One Love Of Caleb Cuslilng.
He was in love, was Caleb Cusbing, when
people-11nd given him up for aconfirmed old
bachelor. ' The lady whose attractions razed

the very beautiful Miss Virginia ,Tiniberlake,
daughter of thecqunlly beautiful MrsEaton,
of Washington, Mr. C‘ushing was desper.
ately smitten, and paid ~unflngging devotion
to his divinity, until one day the imperious
beauty‘tried on in his presence at pair of
beautiful Parisian 'glovcs, which not suiting
her in style and fit, she threw them upon the
floor. I A second pair met with the same fate,
.whiie the third, being more fortunate, were
camly drawn over her exquisite hands and
fastened with costly bracelets about her
rounded wrists. During the promenade
which ensued, Mr. Cashing diplomatically
asked, “How many, pairs of gloves a young
lady required during the year 9". “Speaking
for myself," replied the spoiled béauty, “I
never' wear a pair but once, and never once
if..thcy.don’t suit me.” “What is the ex—
pense of such gloves as ‘you wear, for in-
stance ?" inquired the cautious lawyer. “Ob,
two or three dollars 1" was the Careless reply.
“I should never marry a woman with such
extravagant notions," said Mr. Cushing, un.
doubtedly uttering his thoughts aloud. “No.

aptly quoted the haughty beauty, turning
upon- her French heels and retracing her
steps homeward, leaving the economically

THE INDIA RUBBER INDUSTRY IN Bunzxt.
—It is the privilege of the woodla'nd, pur-
ticulnriy Of tlie'Ingapos, where the India
rubber collector is most frequently £2de to,
be the native land of the intermittent fever.
II'cre-irian, literally buried in lakesbf ver-
(lure, breathing only the pl‘SillODlliI exhal-
ations of decomposing veg-nut... and stag-
nant water, must be said in perish slowly
rather than live, his mode of living hast—
ening nature’s destructive work. The fish
upon which he feeds, the cachcwa (Brazilian
whiskey) he must drink to check artificially
the action of the deleterious elements ab—
s‘ystcni n‘flbcting strength, .510 not constitute
the healthiest regime. Nor is his dwelling
at all calculated to add to his physical im-
provement. TOO indolent to prepare com—-
fortable lodgings for himself when he knows
that he.is to live in the place only a part
of the year, he hardly builds up a shed
sufficient to shelter bini from rain. I have
seen hundreds of “sienguciros” who had no
other dwelling than their mosquito net under
a' small thatched roof of palm leaves, and
even some whose sole protection against
the rain and the dreadful dampness of the
night were a few banana leaves spread on
the top of the net. The mosquito-net of
the Indian is not of the filmy consistency
known to most of our readers. Brazilian
insects are not so easily‘ mitigated as their
comparatively civilized brethren of the
North; those of Marajo particularly are
very bold, and for them a net of thick, im—
pervious cloth is requisite, offering no
opening to their intrusivencss. .For this
purpose the net usually falls upon a mat of
hide stretched on the ground beneath, and
is provided with sleeves for the ropes of
the hammock, about which the former are
always tightly fastened.
Although at present the India rubber
soon befound that no. improvement is possible
without a clearing laud—an operation ser-
iously inconsistent with the culture of the
tree. The intermittent fever destroys more
then half the number of the workers.
Only a few endure the climate for 'five or
six seasons. The natievs are fully aware of
this, but asthe labor is the lightest and
mOst remunerativc, the majority confront all
dangers, and continue to collect it, unmind—
ful of every thing save the prospect cf
idleness during one-half ')f the year. Ag.
riculture and the really civilizing industries
are neglected; ignorance, indolence, and,
misery prevail even in those Villages which
fore the India rubber trade. had entirely
supplanted the culture of the sugar-cane,
coffee, cocoa, cotton, manidoca, and In-
(lieu corn.—M. Msnms, in Harper’s Maya

'lthr-ee Weeks After Marriage.
BY THOMAS HAYNES DAGLY.
I don't care three and sixpence now
For anything in life,
My days of fun are over now,
I'm married to a wife.
I'm married to a wife, my boys,
And that, by jove’s no Joke;
I’ve eat the white of this wo‘rld’s egg,
And now I’ve got the yolk. I
I’m 'sick of sending marriage cake,
.Of eating marriage dinners;
And all the fuss that people make
With newly-wed beginners.
I care not now for white champagne,
. I never cared for; red, '
Blue coats are all blue bores to me,
And. Limerick gloves or kid.
And as for posting up and down,
It adds to all my ills;
At every paltry country town,
I wish you saw the bills.
They know me for a niarried mar,
. Their smirking says they do;
And charge me as the Scots Greys charged
The French at Waterloo.
I’ve grown, too, quite an idle rogue, -
I only eat and drink;
Reading, with inc, not. in vogue,
I can’t be plagued to think.
When breakfast’s over, I begin
To wish ’twere dinner time,
And these are all the changes now
In ‘my life’s pantomime.
-I wonder if this state be what
Folks call the honeymoon ;.
If so, upon my word I hope
It will be over soon.
For too much honey is to me
Much Worse than too much salt ;
I’d rather read from end to end
The works of Mr. Call.
on, when I was a bachelor, .
I was as brisk’s a bee,
But now I lie on ottomnns
And languidly sip tea; '
Or read a little paragraph
In an evening paper,‘,'
Then think it-time to go to sleep
And light my bedroom taper.
Oh, who! I was a bachelor,
I always had some plan
To win myself a loving wife
And be a married man.
And now thatl am so at last,
My plans are at an end;
I scarcely know-one thing to do,
My time I cannot spend.
on, when I was a bachelor,
My spirits never flagg’d:
I walked as if a pair of wings
Had to my feet been tagg’d.
But I walk much more slowly now
As married people should;
Were I to walk six miles an hour,
My wife might think it rude.
Yet after all I'must confess
This cosy sort of way,
Of getting o’er life’s jolting road
Is what I can’t gainsay.
I might have been a bachelor
Until my dying day,
Which would have been to err at best
As far the other way. .

Catchng a Witness in Perjury.
It isof Wiirren the author of “Ten Thou-
send a Year,” that this sharp practice in the
examination Of a man accused of swearing,
falsely in a will case is related. It shows
great dramatic power unconsciously exhibited
in his daily business.
The prisoner being arraigned, and the for-
malities gone through with, the prosecutor,
placing his thumb over the seal, held up the
will and demanded of the prisoner whether
he had seen.the teslator sign that instrument,
to which be promptly answered, he bad.
“And did you sign it at his requesras a
subscribing witness '3” .
“I did.”
“Was it sealed with red or black wax ?"
“Willi red wax." ‘
“Did you see him seal it with red wax ?"
“I did.”
“Where was the teslator when he signed
and scaled this will 1’”
“In his bed.” -
“Pray, how longs piece of wax did he
_ use :4” '
“About three or four inches."
“Who gave the testator this piece of wax 2’”
"I did.” ‘
“Where did you get it 2’”
“From the drawer in his desk ”
“How did be light the piece of wax '3"
“Willi a candle.”
“Where did that piece of candle come
from ?"
‘_‘I got it out of a cupboard in his room.”
“How long was that piece of candle?"
“Perhaps four or five inches long.”
“Who lit it 2"
“I lit it."
“What with ?"
“With a match.”
“Where did you get the match ?"
“On the mantel shelf in his room.” ~
“You-did ‘3"-
“I did.” ,
.Herc Warren paused, and fixing his large
blue eye upon the prisoner, he held the paper
above his head, his thumb still resting upon
the‘seal, and in a solemn. measured tone,
said:
“Now, sir, upon your solemn oath, you
saw the testator sign that will ; he signed it
in his bed; at his request you signed it as a
subscribing witness;.you saw him seal it;
it was with red wax that be sealed it; a
piece of two, three or four inches long; be
lit that wax with a piece of candle which
you procured for him from a cupboard; you
lit- tlia't candle by a match which you found
on the mantle shelf?" -
_ “I did.” .
"My lord—it is a wafer!”
The prisoner was convicted.
-v~~
“That’s HOW.”
After a great snow-storm a little fellow be-
gun to shovel a path through a large snow-
bank before his grandmother's door, He had
nothing but a small shovel to work with.
“How do yOu expect to get through that
drift P." asked a man passing along. “By
keeping at. it,” said the boy, cheerfully.
“That’s how.” . .
That'is the secret of mastering almost every
difficulty under the sun. If a hard. task is
before you,stick to it. Do not keep’ think-
ing how I .rge or how hard it is; but go at it,
and little by little it‘will grow smaller until
it is done. ,
If a hard lesson is to be learned, do not
spend a moment in fretting; .do not lose
breath in saying, “I can't,” or ,“I don’t see '
how;” but go at it, and keep at/it—study.
That is the only way to conquei'I it.
If a. fault is cured or a bad habit broken
up, it cannot be done by ‘merely being sorry,
or only crying a little. You must keep
fighting until it is got rid of;
If you have entered your Master’s service
and are trying to be good, you will some-
times find hills of difficulty in the way.
Things will often look discouraging, and you
will not seem to make any progress at all;
but keep at it. Never forget “That’s how.”
