As John Graham read this list , a diabolical smile settled on his features , and he muttered to himself , too low to be heard by the shipping master : "Lucky again . John , you ' ve caged your bird . " By inquiring he found out that the crew was to he shipped on the following morninu at nine o ' clock . Having obtained all the knowledge he desired he left the office . That night he met Crony at the appointed rendezvous and informed him of lrj s and told him to be hand to shi the
success , on p on following morning . The morning came cold , dark , ancl gloomy . The walks were blockaded by the snowthat had fallen the night before , ancl shortly after daylight a cold , drizzly rain set in making in all a very disagreeable day . Seamen are only human , and naturally prefer to set around a stove when thev can on such a morning as we have described , and therefore when John Graham and his
companion Crony arrived at the shipping office they found that , with their addition they made just the required number of men wanted for the crew of the " Sparkling Sea , " and as no more arrived they were shipped by the lot . John Graham endeavoured to obtain a third mate ' s position , ancl would have done so had not a German shipped an hour before he reached the office . As it was he shi pped before the mast as John Radshaw . The crew went aboard the vessel , and as we have related the vessel went to sea .

"TO OUR NEXT HAPPY MEETING . "
BY BRO . B 1 CHARD SIMMONS . 'Tis said " dull care will kill a cat , " " That sighs are coffins nailing ;" " The wise are happy , jovial , fat , And never prone to railing . "
We drink our wine , cast off all care , Are happy , gay , and joyous—Appreciate the beauteous fair , And let no woes annoy us . Life ' s path is fringed with flowers hri ght , The world is full of pleasure , If it is sought for by the light Which all good Masons treasure .
Should croakers seek our mirth to blight , Dear hrothers , never heed 'em , But pour libations out to-night , To Sympathy and Freedom . And when we part , let no one blame
The errors of a hrother ; As to the world , we equal came , Why wo should love each other . Then e ' re we part upon the square , With true fraternal greeting , We'll pledge a bumper , full and fair To our next happy meeting .
