Tiie woather is warm, and iced cham- pagoe will not be disagreasble, ¢ 2" * By no means; but it is a luxary we poor sailors eeldom havo the opportunity of tasting,” replied tho Captain, with a sigh, a3 he thought of lus far-off wife and two little babigs. -The champazne was s0on eperkling in the elen- der glasses, and the merchaat pledged the sailor nndfi:is noble ship in a brimnung bumper. The Exporter was a fins clipper engaged in the China trade, owned by sn opulent firm who counted their dollars by millions. The ship was .commanded by Capt..Jacksop, an experieaced .shipmaster, but who had-.been compelled to ac- .cept the grinding terms of the parsimonious owners of the Exporter. 3 -Capt. Jackson bad been unfortunate, and at the time he applied to the firm for employment he.was in deot, with a wife.and family looking to him for support. He was not in a condition to dictate terms, but ventured to remonstrate feebly at the wnadequate salary offered for the emount of property and raspousibility Lo was expected to control aud look after. “*We can get plentv of shipmastors for $80 por mouth,” was the cold, barsh reply. **We do not ask you to accept it. Yon come to us; if you demur, another shall take your place.” And, with aheavy heart, the poor fellow signed the articles, while the pale, suffering faco of his wife rose np before him. 3 . The Exporter was Ising off Shaoghai waiting for the valuable and special cargo which had been ordered by mail. ‘The merchant, Mr. Failing, was on board, and .eshas already been narrated was taging bhis cnf:ton in the wide, spacious cabin of tha ves- gel Glass after glass of champagno had been quaffed, tho fragraut perfume of choice cigars filted tha cabin, and yoor Jackeop, as the gener- ous wintage mouated -in s brain, for a time forgot his tronbles. ‘The fetter lay oo thetable before Failing, who, with Jus heels perched on a projecting cornice of the cabin, amoked in silenze, wiile Jackson, with volubility entirely nnnataral to him, poured into the ears of -Failing the entire #tory of his wrongs. *You are not half paid; that is certain, Jack- gon, and there is cat littlo chance to make a dol- lar out of the main hatch. To bs sure, you csn do a littlo something with the stevedors, ship- chandler, etc.; but, after all, what does it amount to? ‘I came out hore to make my for- tune, Jackson ; honestly, if Ican, andtbus far have no reason to complain, But yon are gitu- ated differently. You have no opportunities, your life is passing away, the greater portion of it is spent in buffeting the clements at $80 per month,—for what? that your owners may reap hundreds of thousands of dollars from your talents. Is that honost: is it right or just? No. And how will it end? Yon are past the meridian of life, and you say you are * astern of the lighter.' Now I sball apeak plnin, Jackson, too plain perhabs; but fill your glags, man, it bas been empty this half hour. As I 8aid before, every day will bring you wenrer Fyour gravo, aud the best years of your life speat away from vour family whom you love. Even supposing that no accident occurs to excite the wrath of the firm that might cost you your position. in due course of time you wiil be warn out, faeble, and incapacitated by old age from retaining command. What will the merchant ‘with his bags of gold, which you mado for him, care for you then? Will he take into considera- tion the fact that yon have braved dangers and ranaacked every clime for the articles of mer- chandise he required ?

This mania goes by tho name of « Caramics,” which is scientific enongh at least in sound to give it dignity, and which hasits coot in Greek, meaning *‘pertaining to pot- tery.” Bric-a-brao stores are ransacked, and all sorts of ways and means are resorted to, to pro- sure the most ancient specimecs. Some of tho most curious of thess specimoens which have come under my observation have Liideous figures 10 0l gilt and & kind of prick-dast color repre- senting dragons, The collectors go into rhap- sodies ‘over "thess, and exclaim, , *Are'nt they lovely?”. when, in matter of fact, they zre tho very ugliest thingaone can posei bly find. The shapes, however, of cup snd pitcher and tea-pot ara very pretty sometimes. This of the dragon pattern, for instaace, has very attractive shapea,—the cup high and curv- ing quaintly inward at tho top, the tea-pot and little tall pitchers following suit.

Together with this mania of ceramics goes the twin taste of paint- ing hand and fire screens, fans, and even furmi- ture coverings. With the open fires, that are daily increasing, these screens are guite useful and extremely pratty, though generally, espacial- ly the standing screer, another object of draw- .ing-room litter to stumble over. To zee all this pretty work of leisure, with its costliness, and the absorbing pursuit of tea-cups, and to coa- trast it with the anxious faces one eees on the siracts and in the borse-cars, and with the tales of need thiat seom constantly to increase, is cer- tainly not conducive to growth of respect or be- lief in the mental perceptions of women of leis- ure. -Suill this, perbaps, 18 a littlo unfair, for woman are creatures of habit, by force of hanit, and it 13 ouly Lbe exceptionai natures and minds that can strike out from their grooves without other help than the help of their ewn sympa- thies. - One very pleasant thing to know is the readi- mess with which eoveral Indies of wealth re- sponded to Jennie Colling’ call for personal assistanco at Boffin's Bower.
