A DISPUTED QUESTION.
Taken from Virginian.
Tell me, is flirting wicked?
Think o'er it once or twice,
For if 'twere very naughty,
It could "t be so nice.
Why, most young people like it,
But the parants all objeet;
Thev must have all forgotten
Their young days, I expect.
"Would life be worth the living,
Without 6onie shady nook,
Some dark and hidden corner,
Or meaning in a look,
The sofas that are nicest,
Hold two but can't hold three,
And hours pass as moments
On a bench beneath a tree.
A shy glance quickly given,
A blush, a little stare,
A sweet word softly uttered,
A treasured lock of hair.
Some long talk in the twilight.
Some walk beneath the moon;
Oh ! isn't it a pity,
Such pleasures pass so soon?
Beneath the swinging mistletoe,
A sweet, but stolen kiss,
You'll surely not acknowledge
There's any harm in this?
There's no use talking o'er it,
With frowns instead of mirth,
There always will be flirting
While girls are on the earth.
AROUND THE WORLD.
A DAY IN YOKOHAMA.
Written for Fisherman & Farmer.
On the afternoon of September
2d, 1883, we bid adieu to the Sand
wich Islands and shaped our course
far the land of the setting- sun. The
docks were throunged with friends to
witness our departure and to wave us
a last farewell. How deeply we
regretted 10 leave these is axds and
as its coral bound coast and pictur
esque mountains faded from our view
we turned away with a sigh thinking
of the" many friends we had left
behn d, perhaps never to meei again
in this world and should we never
meet, them aga n the fire of fr end
sh ps which glows upon the altar of
our hearts wii always burn with the
same ruddy blaze as in d tys of yore.
For several hours we were busily
engaged in getting the ship snug for
a long passage but as the setting sun
like a huge b ill of fire disappeared
below the western horizon we ceased
our labors for a moment to gaze with
rapture upon the magnificence and
grandeur tf the heavens sproad out
before our vision Far over the
western se the day lay dying, fiercely
and long had he waged the " unequal
combat, but now he lay prone and
helpless upon his bleeding side trans
fixed by the spear of the pursueing
hoars, from out of his jagged wound
gushes the rushing life flood, redden
ing the western heavens with its
unceasing flow, from out of his throat
scarred and marred by the recent
conflict comes the death moan sure
presage of the arch enemy creeping
on insideously. He grasps, he groans,
his spirit flees away, all nature holds
a solemn silence as his darlr sister
weeping drops over the wafers her
tears, the glistening dew and scat
ters broidcast from her "hands the
glittering stars which falltfirnoticed
upon this sombre coverlid over her
brothers face; such is the scene which
we hame witnessed, no mortal tongue
can describe its impressive sublimity
and we have tried' by this grotesque
comparison, to give a faint concep
tion of the grandeur of the heavens
before our vision. It would perhaps
nrove uninterestin" to recount onr '

there is very little work to do, never

Port watches, and one of these

12th, at 4 30 p. m., having crossed with a little village or hamlet, whose
the 1 80th meridian of West' Imgi- i tile covered house tops flashed nd i
tudeand entered into East Loneitude scintillated under the genial rays of!
the next day was Sept 14th, hs the
13th was dropped, this being the
parallel of Longitude whe: e we lose
one day in go'mz around the wor d.
So Thursday Sept., 13th, iS8j, we
have never seen The monotonv of
the voyage was not dispel ed by any
greater calamity thai occasional
showers of rain, un ii Oct 5t , nhen
a rapid!y filling Barometer gave
notice of an approaching storm, and
as we are in th t prt of the world
frequency, at th s time of the year, by
terrible storms tailed Typhoons, .we
used extra urectutioua t make
everything seaworthy and snug, ;ind
in a few houis we had tha ship in
shape to me t the storm. About
12:30 p. m., the next day the wind
suddenly died out. Ail hands were
cal'ed to shovten sai', but too late, for
before this o der co'jld be Gomplied
with, like the rush of a whir wind the
storm was upon us, te 'ring into
ribbons three of our largest sails
"Sunny skies vrerk overcast,
Winds and waves were howling
Like ten thousand angry beasts.
Around our vessel prowling."
After a hard ba tle wiih the ele
ments we succeeded in saving our
remaining sails. We were under
steam and sail trying to re ch the
Japan coast b fore the gale struc
us, and was only 160 miles from
Yokohama whe'i it burst upon us.
We could do nothing but steam
h-ad to the wind wnich was now
blowing so hard that the orders
issued by the Captain throngh a
speaking trumpet could rot be heard
about the decks. The decks were
sanded to keep our footing and life
lines stretched fore and aft. Hatches
were battened down to keep the
water out which would dash over us
in sheets bloivn up by the fury of the
wind. For three days t e storm
raged in all its fury. On the evening
of October 8th the fury of the wind
commenced to deer- ase. While the
wind was blowing the seis did not
rise but as it abated the seas released
from the mighty 'embrace of the wind
rose mountains high; heavy seas
would wash our dee s fore and aft as
our good ship ptowed her way
through'them likea thin of life;
now on the top ofa mighty wave the
next moment tp be hid in the trough
of the sea with mighty walls of water
all around us Rolling so heavy
that it was difficult to keep our feet
even by holding last to .the life lines
about the deck, the ' heaviest rolls
being 3 each way. On the morn
ing 'of the 9th, the sun came out
brighVand warm. How. glad we were
to see its. bright r.iys once, more as we
shaped butcourse for Yokohama, a
distance of sg'mi'es
We had been
blown 409 miles out 01 our course by j
the Typhoon: for this was one of
'those terrible Typhoons which blow
off the ccast of Japan and are so dis-
- r
astrous to vessels in its coarse. We
learned later, that 19 vessels were lost
I off the coast in this Rale. We had
seen no land jet, although a sharp
lookout was kept for it. About 4 a.
m. the nth, we sighted No Sima
light the entrance to Yeddo HaV,
and at daylight we sighted land.
About 7 a. m. we passed the light
house and en'ered Yeddo Bay. We
pa-sed several steamers bound in and

CURIOUS THINGS
STOMACH.
IN HIS
Baltimore Sun. j
A remarkable operation was per- '
formed on the little sou of Joseph;
Doward, proprietor of the Salisbury !
Marhle works, by Dr. G. II. Cantwell j
of Wilmington, Del., one day last!
week. For some time past the bov !
hud been troubled witUa restlessness
which could not he .accounted for.
and at night he would awaken his
parents by the most fearful shriek.
Medicine was given for the removal
of tape worms, and the boy was
relieved of a tape worm measuring
18 feet. Still hit restlessness did
not cease and he was taken to Wil
mington, where the surgeon took
from thetoy'8 stomach seven reptiles j
resembling scorpions. Some of them j
were deatl and some alive, the others
having been killed by the use of eiec- j
tnciry. ine reptiles are arotit as
large as the end of the thumb of a
man and about an inch long. Thej
are perfectly formed and have the
usual head and tail of the scorpion.
When taken out they were fastened
on to u huge tape worm. Physician
sav there is no such, case on record.
The largest of the reptiles is on exhi-
bition at a drug store in Wilmington,
1 he boy teems much improved and is J
bright and lively as ever. Tle doc- !
tors cannot account for the appear- J
ance of the reptiles in the boj's storn-
ach -exce t on the hypothesis that he !
drank the eggs while drinking from a i
stream, it is thought bv some that 1
the so called scorpions may be what
are commonly known as "spring -
cleaners,' a little reptile resembling
a scorpion, een iu almost any spring.
