INPROIITABI.K (iEF.SE.
(Ini' of our old whaling captains, who had
spent the whole prime of his life box-haul
ing from Cape Horn to Kamtstatka, with
but indifferent success, having scraped
together some five or six thousand dollars,
retired from the sea, moved “up country”
with his family, and bought a small farm.
hike many others of his class, a few
years sufficed to swamp his capital, and he
died miserably poor. But that is anticipat
ing matters and has nothing to do witli the
anecdote.
One of his country neighbors said to
him, soon after he settled on the farm:
“Captain K., you've got a nice pond on
your place, and you ou"ht to have a good
large tloek of geese, ft's a grand place,
to keep ’em, and they’ll be profitable to
you.”
“Well, I reckon they will,” said the cap
tain.
“I've g"t some nice ones to sell ye,”
continued the kind neighbor. “Jfoucomc
over and pick ’em out yourself.”
So the captain selected a suitable num
ber, making his choice as lie would among
ashoal of whales when “brought to,” or
as a boy would from a basket of apples.
In the spring following, he happened to
be visiting the farm of another neighbor,
and among other tilings inspected the
geese, making comparisons in his mind
highly favorable to his own judgment.
“Don't think your birds are so handsome
as mine,” lie remarked. “Do you have
any eggs yet?”
“Oh, yes; they’ve been laying freely
for this month or more."
“Well, I don't know how ’tis,” said Cap
tain K. “I’ve got the handsomest tloek
that I've seen anywhere this season—pick
ed'em out, one by one, from our neighbor
Jones's stock, and I feed era high, too.
But not an egg have they laid yet. I only
wish you’d come over and see ’em. Per
haps you can give me an idea how to man
age 'em.”
His friend did “come over and see ’em”
the next day, and, as soon as he could
speak for laughter, he enlightened the an
cient mariner as to the cause of their non
productiveness, by informing him that they
were all —ganders!
Jones haosold Captain K. and the birds;
and it was by a series of little specula
tions and blunders that his hard earnings
were fooled away in a few farming cam
paigns.
