He related ;the circumstances of his visit at home in the bearing ot his youngest, son, a little fellow foui years o fage. A few weeks later father and son were ■travelling by rail to a town some miles distent, when, just before reaching their destination, the train was pulled up within sight of a large gloomy-locfking building. The son inquired what place it was; and on being informed that ifc was the county gaol, he embarrassed the father and mads the other occupants of the carriage suspicious by asking: " Is that the gaol you were m. father?" ostique: 'Sosorry! Tell her I never Baw Kr looking so well as she dfd when she looked net of the window a minute ago.' •iuProbably the largest number of men ever employed in the building of a single ship are lOOW at work upon the British batteleship Magnificent in the Chatham dockyard.
