BI THE DAILY EXAMINER, fer the

TEA last I came upon the inseparables, Welch

and Cooper. They were squatted on the

TEA deck, and Welch’s tongne was going as . He'was talking about this Wylie, 4 TEA and saying that in all hisships he had never

‘usual.

known such a mate as this—why, the cap-

TEA tain is under his thumb. He then gave a

‘string of captains,each of whom would have

TEA given his mate a round dozen at the gang-

_way, if he had taken so much on him as

TEA this one does.

| ‘Grog!’ suggested Cooper, in extenua- tion.

| ‘Welch admitted Wylie was liberal with that, and friendly enough with the man; but still, he preferred to see a ship commanded ‘by the captain, and not by a lubber like | Wylie.

| ‘f expressed some surprive at this term, and said I had envied Wylie’s nerves in a gale of wind we encountered early in the voyage.

‘The talking sailor explained, ‘In course he has been to sea afore this, and weathered many a gale. Butso has the cook. That don’t make a man a sailor. You ask him how to send down a to’-gallant yard, or gammon @ bowsprit, or even mark a lead line, and he'll stare at ye, like Old Nick, when the angel caught him with the red- hot tongs, and questioned him out of the Church Catechism. Ask Sam, there, if ye don’t believe me. Sam, what do you think of this Wylie for a seaman?’

“Cooper could not afford anything so precious, in his estimate of things, as a word; but he lifted a great brawny hand, and gave a snap with his finger and thumb, that disposed of the mate’s pretensions to seamanship more expressively than words could have done it.’

‘The breeze has, freshened, and the ship glides rapidly through the water, bearing us all homeward. Helen Rolleston has re- sumed her place upon the deck, and all seems bright again. [ask myself how we existed without the sight of her. ‘This morning the wind shifted to the southeast, the captain surprised us by tak-' ing in sail. But his sober eye saw scme- thing more than ours; for at noon it blew a gale, and by sunset it was deemed pra- dent to bring the ship’s head to the wind, and we are now lyingto. The ship lurches, and the whole wind howls through the bare rigging; but she rides buoyantly, and no danger is apprehended. — ae ‘Last night, as I lay in my cabin, unable to sleep, I heard some heavy blows strike the ship’s side repeatedly, causing quite a vibration. I felt alarmed, and went out to tell the captain. But I was obliged to go on my hands and knees, such was the force of the wind. Passing the mate’s cabin I heard sounds that made me listen acutely; and I then found the blows were being struck inside the ship. I got to the captain and told him. ‘Uh!’ said he, ‘ten to one it’s the mate nailing down his chests, or the like.’ But I assured him the blows struck the side of the ship, end at my earnest request. he came out and_ listened. He swore a great oath, and said the lubber would be through the ship's side. He then tried the cabin door, but it was locked. ‘The sounds ceased directly.

‘We called to the mate, but received no ly fora longtime. At last Wylie came

jout of the gun-room, looking rather pale,

and asked what was the matter,

‘I‘told him_he onght , to know best, for the blows were heard where he had just come from.

‘Blows !’ said he; ‘I believe you. Why, a tierce of butter had got adrift, and was bumping up and down the hold like thun- der.’ ‘fie then asked us whether that was what we had disturbed him for, entered his cabin, and almost slammed the door in our faces.

‘I remarked to the captain on bis dis- respectful conduct. The captain was civil and said I was right; he was a cross-grained unmanageable brute, and he wished he was out of the ship.

‘But you see, sir, he has got the ear of the merchant ashore; and so lam obliged to hold acandle to the devil, as the say- ing is.’

‘He then fired a volley of oaths and abuse at the offender; and, not to encourage foul language, I retired to my cabin.

‘The wind declined towards daybreak, and the ship recommenced her voyage at 8 a. m., but under treble-reefed topsails and reefed courses.

‘I caught the captain and mate talking together in the friendliest way possible, That Hudson isa humbug; there is some mystery between him and the mate.

‘To-day H. R. was on deek for several hours, conversing sweetly, and looking like the angel she is. But happiness soon flies from me; asteamer came in sight, bound for Sydney. She signalled us to heave to, and send a boat. This was done, and the boat brought back a letter for her. It seemed they took us for'the ‘Shannon,’ in which ship she was expected.

‘The letter was'from him. How her cheek flashed and her eye beamed as she took it. And, oh, the sadness, the agony that stood besides her unheeded.

‘I left the deck; Icould not have con- tained myself, What a thing is wealth! By wealth that wretch can stretch out his hand across the ocean, and put a letter into her haud under my very eye. Aways goes all that [ have gained by being uear her while he is far away. He is notin England now —he is here. His odious presence has driven me from her. Ob, that I could bea child again, or in my grave, to get away from this Hell of Love and Hate!’ | At this point we beg leave to take the narrative into our own hands again.

Mr, Hazel actually left the deck to avuid the sight of Helen Rolleston’s flushed cheek

and beaming eyes, reading Arthur Ward- law’s letter.

And here we may as well observe that he retired not merely because the torture was hard to bear. He had some disclosures to make, on reaching England; but his good sense told him this was noi the time or the place to make them, nor Helen Rolleston the person to whom, in the first instance, they ought to be made.

——

Early Closing.

Dear Sir,—There are a great many stores and places of business in Charlotte- town, and some of them do avery large business, and I think for their benefit and also for the benefit of the employes, they ough to close atsix p.m. It is the height of nonsense, fora merchant to suppose that he is going to make more money at the end of the year, by keeping open as late as eight or ten o'clock, than the merchant who closes at six, for this reason: the mer- chant who closed at six is under nv expense in the shape of bills for gas, whereas the merchant who keeps open till eight is, and, [ was told by a merchant —a_ reliable aathority—that when he kept open late that he did not make suffivient profit in the year on the goods he sold after six to pay for the gas consumed. Again, when a store is advertised to close at a certain hour, the customers will make ita point te do all their business before then. Then just consider a young man stuck behind a dry goods counter from séven o elock in the niorning till eight at night, from years end to years end, the monotony of the health- destructive business only broken by a few mioates at meal times.

‘This is a question which ought to receive the careful attention of merchants. Let them consider how many fellow beings they have hurried to premature graves by them keeping their stores oper too late at night. And when they have considered this T hope they will come to the conclusion that it is an act of humanity to suffering humanity, fur each and every one of them to adopt shorter hours, thereby benetitting them- selves, their clerks, and the city.

It is true a good many of the stores cloze at 6 o'clock; but there are many more who do a large business, and keep open as late as 8 o'clock and in some cases later. If you go into one of those stores at night you will scarcely ever see any customers, and if there happens to be any they are usually those who go corner loafing ‘and street- walking at night; and who go in those stores more for pastim» than for any inten- tion of buying goods. I have known cases where some of those customers came into a shop and asked to sea a lot of goods, and after they.saw them and put the clerk ‘to az much trouble as possible walked out without an apology, much Jess a purchase,

New it is for the merchants to decide whether it is better to follow the example of other cities and towns and all hands to close at the one hour, and give the place the

reputation which the capital city of one of

the most thriving of the British Maritime Provinces ought to have, or to keep a ren- devouz for rowdies and keep the poor clerk waiting on them at their pleasure when he ought to be at some other employment. Yours, ete.,

SrecraTor. Ch’tow, Nov. 18, 1883.

- — 7a cue Divorce in the states. A physician, resident in the United States, writing to the Toronto Globe saya that one of the two great evils which is lixe a canker worm eating into the very core of the body politic with fatal regults, is divorce. On ‘this account: society throughout the West is ina deplorable condition, the ex-husband and ex-wife being in some localities nearly as numerous as husband and wife, and it is no un- common thing for one to meet in society a man or woman who has been divorced one, two, three, or even four times. These people are received into the best society, and. they teach their pernicious doctrines with a zeal worthy of a better cause. This

state of affairs might have gone on indefinitely without any great harm to the nation were it confined en-

tirely to the upper and wealthy classes, for ‘they compose the few, but the last decade has wrought terrible changesin the social fabric. of the masses. The great evil has entered the ranks of the middle and lower classes with the insidiousness and deadliness of a contagion, and has swept the social horizon with the rapidity and destructiveness of asimoon. The marriage ceremony is considered by many Americans as simply a baryain or contract between two persons, to be dssclved at the will or pleas- ure of one or both the contracting parties, that is if the Courts permit, and they in- varibly do, for in certain States the Courts hold ‘incompatibility of temper” a suffici- ent reason for divorce, and what family is not mere or less at times incompatible. This low state of morals has imbued the minds of the masses with a spirit of free loveism, The ranks of that detestable community are being rapidly increased by converts to this free and easy doctrine of morals, and perhaps the first word between hasband and wife which evenuated in a divorce was uttered after one or the other had seen their affinity. Many reasons have been assigned for this deplorable condition of society, but to an observing mind it is quite evident that there have been two potent evils at work with the masses, viz., the introduction of yellow-covered literature and obscene pub- lications and the performance of the mar- riage ceremony by magistrates. If there is one thing more than swnother that conauces to the spirit of libertinism, loose morals, the free-aud-easy, go s-you-please style, to the utter disregard of a!l true manhood and womenhood, it is the demoralizing tendencies inculeated by the reading of the | trashy yellow-covered literature of the day,
