e town- . . . ,
Despite this yearning; for a sea
life, Ned might have gone to college
and become a lawyer, as his father
intended, had he not, when about
seventeen fan of age, unfortunate-
imagined himself in love with Amy
Dawson, the pretty daughter of a
neighbor, at, this time aged about
I fifteen years. Of course ho imagined
that there never had, never would,
and never could appear, upon tho
eastern end of Long Island, or any
other part of the terrestrial surface
beautiful and perfect a human
as Amy, and, of course, he fur-
believed, though youths and
maidens had been in
since the earliest days of recorded
history, no maiden or youth had ever
been so Intensely smitten as himself.
Ned, like all others of his age, was
exceedingly bashful, but he always
felt satisfied, and tho hankering at
his heart was filled if he saw Amy
at church, or was permitted to walk
home beside her, from singing
school. Ned's brother was less bash-
and more, self-reliant, and it may
be added that he was possessed of a
spirit of mischief, which took a
at this time that Ned was
in no condition to appreciate. He
de love to the pretty little Amy;
and, seemingly, with groat success.
The result was that jealousy and dis-
content filled the heart of Ned, and,
when quite in a desperate mood, he
determined to flee from the brother
whom he deemed false and the faith-
less girl who had tho bad taste to
, prefer Rob.
It seemed that the fates favored
his purpose. Anchored out in the
bay, there was a whaling ship, wait-
for the turn of the tide, at day-
break, to sail for the south Pacific
j islands. The captain of this vessel
j was named Snow, and had already
I made overtures to the boy to join
him, so that Ned felt sure that, if he
could gain tho deck of the Albatross,
he would be certain of a position.
Bundling up a few of his clothes
a pillow ho stole out of his
bedroom window about midnight,
hurried to the shore, a few hundred
yards away, and getting on board of
own private skiff, which he was
expert in handling, he rowed out
into the darkness, guided by the
lights swinging from the shrouds of
the Albatross.
Ned hailed the watch on deck, and
a rope being lowered, sent up his
package, climbed after it himself,
and then sent his boat adrift.
When the sun rose, hot and red,
the next morning, its rays flashed
on the white sails of the Albatross,
as she rounded point and
headed for the south.
Soon the headland cliffs and woods
of Long Island became a misty cloud
to the north, and Ned Pearsall was
seized by a feeling from which he
never recovered, that he had done a
very foolish thing.
In his father's house he was well
fed, well clothed, and had a com-
room to sleep in, and the
most pleasant associations; on the
Albatross the was coarse and
not the best, the atmosphere of tho
dark forecastle, in which he was
compelled to sleep, was foul, and
his sailor associates were obscene
and vulgar; but, more than this, he
soon learned that Capt. Snow, who
appeared to be so jolly and good
when on shore, was a cruel and pro-
tyrant.
After four continuous
cruising without seeing a whale, the
Albatross sighted tho purple is-
lands that mark the shores of New
Zealand. Here some fish were
caught, and, for the first time, Ned
learned that it would be five years
before his ship returned to Sag
and that if they secured more
oil than she could carry, it would be
home in other ships.
When anchored in the Bay of Is-
lands, in New Zealand, of which he
had read in the voyages of Capt.
Cook, he was anxious to go on shore
find sec the beautiful country and
the native Maoris, but his shipmates
horrified him, by telling him that
on their previous voyage with Capt.
Snow, which had lasted for four
years, they had been permitted to
land only three times; and this was
true.
A year of Indescribable hardship
passed, during which tho boy's
heart ached more more for his
Long Island home; and his
nation increased to escape from the
tyrant Snow and his associate of

time, he adopted many of their

However, years passed, during
which Ned Pearsall never saw a
white roan, and ha was beginning to
forgot his mother tongue, when
early morning, during a furious
storm that ravaged the island, his
native companions roused him from
the bed on which he was sleeping in
his thatched but, to tell him that a
white man's ship was breaking to
pieces the rocks outside the bay.
Ned was a good swimmer before
he left home and thought ho could
manage a boat well, but the people
among whom he found himself far
exceeded him in that art. He was
brave, and a feeling of humanity, as
well as the race love, prompted him
to go to the rescue. The. ship was
going to pieces on the reef; but the
outrigger canoes of the natives
in reaching her, and out of
a crew of twenty-seven five were
among them the first
a young man who bore a
resemblance to Ned himself.
The rescued sailors were taken
ashore kindly treated by tho
natives. Ned from the first was
drawn to the young man who bore
such a striking resemblance to him-
self, and when he came to converse
with him, after he had recovered,
was his astonishment and
his joy when he found that
; it was his own brother, Rob.
Rob told his story. He, too, some
years before had fallen in love, this
time in earnest, with a girl who was
not Amy Dawson. His father, as
well as the girls, opposed the match,
and he ran away to sea, and had
been promoted to the position of
first officer on the Washington.

Tho brothers, who had parted, long
before on Long Island, were thus
mysteriously thrown together on an
almost unknown island In the South
Pacific.
Rob told his brother that Amy
Dawson was still single and await-
him; told him that his father
and mother and sisters were still
living, and their hearts yearning for
him, and so Ilia modern Crusoe was
prevailed upon to bid good-bye to
his native friends, who, finding that
ho was determined to part,
him and his brother to Apia,
the chief town in the Navigator is-
lands.
They had repeated their father's
early experience, and had had enough
of the sea. To-day Robert Pearsall
is one of the prosperous
on the eastern end of Is-
land. Ned is married to Amy
son, and by hard study he made up
for the lost time during which he
played Crusoe, and is one of the
most successful members of the bar
in his native town. K. Y.

Late President of France Was
a Tradesman.
Not many people knew that M.
Carnot, the late president of the
republic, was a carpenter
y trade. It is true that he did
; not, in his mature years, practice
the trade of a carpenter, but in his
youth he had been taught that hand-
and no doubt might have
exercised it if it bad been necessary.
The family of Carnot's mother
came from the little town of
a department
of western
Though they were people of
means, they believed in Jean Jacques
Rousseau's doctrine that every
child should be taught a handicraft,
in order that, in ease of adversity,
he may make his way in the world,
and not be a burden upon anyone.
In pursuance of their mother's
belief in this principle, young
Carnot and his brother were put at
work every r, when they went
to to learn trade of
carpentering and joining. It was
on mere play, for they were put
in the midst of working carpenters,
and their helpers, on actual

Mine. Carnot not only insisted
upon this but gave the boys no pref-
over the other workers, while
they were with them in the matter
of food, They had to eat at the
same table and partake of the same
plain fare.
In this way both boys became at
lost practical carpenters. At the
same time they learned to enter into
the feelings of the laboring people,
and to appreciate their situation;
and there is excellent reason to be-
that the liberal opinions of the
late president rested in large part
on his practical acquaintance with
the working people.
It is worth noting that these
working vacations of young
Carnot were a most agreeable time
to him. He remembered the days
spent at with feelings of
delight, and always went there for
rest when occasion offered.
Bi mother, who is still living,
looked forward with great pleasure
to the expiration her son's seven
years of presidential service, when
she expected to take him to
pals, as if he were a boy again, and

quite possible that, if the assassin's
hand had spared him, he might have
