The Story of an Old Settler in New Zea- hi .'" ni land, km c; j:J'H? i The wife of a missionary traveling, with her husband in New Zealand,4 Writing of her journey K through the country sajs : .We found, living in a log hut, a white man, old!, gray-headed, with his wife, a native, and old like himself, but ." oh, how frightfully hideous ancl igly. & her flesh seemedto haye dried up, and her wrinkled skin hun in loose folds about her person ; her f ce was all disfigured with, lines of . tattooing, and her eyes all bloodshot and bleared with the long effects of the wood fires she cooked over. She gave us, however, an excellent supper, of ,Tsh . caughtyfkh and potatoes, with gQod dampers and7, hot tea. I could not, however, take my eyes off her all the time we were in the hit; after supper. Leo nard and I; went out to smoke our pipes. ' ; ?Lecnard," I exclaimed, y Mdidyoaf eVex. see a more hideous creature than that wo man is? 'Preserve me from native woman if she is a specimenof Ifaori lieaqtjifv ! f Ah, sir l" said a thin" quivering voice I recognized as her husband's, "she may be ugly in your eyes, but.she-Js notn-mioeJt la uuw; wen uigu iuiriy years since 1 ran away from a whale sliip, and too to living here among the savages, for I . warrant you they were savage enough then.; I helped to build for the chief of the tribe I came among, )A boat J and jyle"Jina the: wpmant as a re ward for my services. She was good enough looking then, r dnd she ; helped me .build a house, and planted my potatoes, andvcauglit my fish, cooked my fopd aud was a faithful and trueife Ho fue." Sorii years afterward I fell ill. The nati ve tohungas, or doctors, tried their hands at curing ; me, ;and .it jwa's" not for the Wanjjpf nursingoh' her part that I did not get well ; howsoever I got worse instead of better, and ,'Haru; my. wife,, began . to tangi jfret) for me. y y r; yrfr 1 ; One day she;heard from so'ineqf berfriehfis Jwhb had jiist returned from Auckland (the chief English settlement) , that there yvas a pakaha (a white man) there who could cure me; and the next day she started to see him in a canoe, butt she had well-nigh 'twenty' miles to Walk as' well1 'before ' she got there. The third day she came back, her 1 sister having nursed me meanwhile, . and brought me some inedicine ; it did me some good, but could! hot i cure me She tol d me the doctor wanted to .see me, but could not. or would not come out. ' " p "After a Week's trial of the stuff he had sent me, and mine "-being no; great deal bet-. ter, she determined to take me. to him, and so she put me in her canoey and then carried me twenty, miles, on her baqk--ayc, I tell ye every foot of the way ; and I was there well "nigh two months in a little hut she built me herself outside the town ; and every , week -she -went backward and; forward between here and there laden with the week's pro visions. At length I got well and came back with her home ; and ever since then she has been, aye, and is how, beautiful in my eyes; letting alone, she has twice -saved my life from the niggers of the !Ngatiwais, and jonce from drowning,-'; "I would like to know," said he, Mwhat white woman would have done :the like; and lell ye I believe God Almighty will give her a place in heaven, ugly and dark though she be, and half heath en as you would call bar." K: I found afterward that Che man's- tale was true, and must confess this narrative of his softened very much her; bodily infirmities and appearance in my ey es. Sea Sickness and Profanity. . From the Boston Bulletin. J ; Sea sickness is a sad leveler, to which the strongest minds succumb, leaving - nothihg but the desire to touch terra jirma again. An eminent dramatic artist, who has recent ly made a mo3t successful tour to Californ ia, returned east by steamer. -Scarcely had the ship got out of sight of lancT before the .Thespian was laid by the heels with mal de. mer." xn tne aepins or m aespair ae caiieci for the captain, and when that worthy ar rived, the tragedian gazed at him for a few moments, and then asked y , , t . - "Arr-e you the captain ?'. " I have that honor,' said the son of Nep tune. :'y i y ': ; yy J:-.' : l j i "Ver-r-y well sir. I want you to run. this blasted ship ashore. I'll pay for her hull, engines and cargo." I'd'.: ' 1 The captain smiled, and told his unhappy passenger it was impossible. " Ver-r-y well si-r. Tie her to W rocki then, and stop this blasted rolling." T Beinff assured that this was also impossi-j ble, tte wretched actor retired to his state-j room, and laying there in mortal agony cursed the sea and all that appertained to it witu oaios Doiu ioutt ana aeep. Now, it so happened that the Rev. Mr Chadband j who had collected a large amount ot money in r California; to purchase hne tooth combs and tracts tor the. . Digger In -dians, was on his way east, to in vest his funds, and-occupied, the state room next to the actors. Horrified at the roars of the sick hoh.v he walked into his state-room just as he let off another. volley of anathemas wnicn extracieu a aeep groan, irom unaa- band. i i ' V" - : V ' 1 " Hallo," said the player, "are ydu sick ?" Sick at heart brother,'? was the response1, Mto hear. you use such bad language." j " It is a bad habit," said the wretched ar tist, "but d n it, sir, I've been turned in side cut for three days, thrown' up everyU thing possible," and, if I'm ; sick anyi .lohger curse me if I don't throw up my engagement at New York. Blast the sea l" . " Don't, mv. dp.ar ir. curse so Remember One who was patient under much 'greater suffering than, yours." - A '!tfv:'r The tragedian rose to his full height,, and inn;nfti5i'flnWpra fhroncrh his Ytiiir. ha hp. chewed his ypicelorr a. moment, rep uea: ; I M do remember Him sir-r-r. and remem- ber that at sea'Se got out and toalhea, and!
