Grandpa's Watch.

Mischief was in little Toms eye
Mischief in his hand; wherever he
went something happened. The cream
was split in the pantry the jelly jars
overset. Mammals vases broken !;
grandpa's caps tied upon old Carlos
head, and tin pans to the cats tail.
The prettiest flowers were torn up
by the roots; the old rose plucked.
The mornings paper made into a
kite, and valuables generally demolish-
ed or ruined. Yet Tom was the pet
of the house, and was never scolded
long for his worst tricks and capers.
If he had been, perhaps that which
came to pass at last would never have
occurred. Perhaps old Grandpa Or
chard, going into his room one day,
would not have found his wonderful
watch-costly, elegant, and precious
as a keepsake-being neatly picked to
pieces by master Tom. That was too
much to bear. Toms ears were boxed
to begin with, and grandpa declared
that whatever happened, Tom must be
punished at last.

Joe Phillips was an awful story-tel-
Ter. When stranger came to his
tavern, if he appeared at all credul-
Gus, old Joe would talk a long yarn to
some of his village acquaintance, but
talk at the stranger. A short time
since, stranger came into his bar
room with rod, line, and other fishing
paraphernalia, when Joe seized d
friend, and startled him by the ques-
ton
Did you hear about that big fish
Colonel P caught to-day, in the
river ?
Stranger prickcd up his ears.
NO, said friend.
Biggest sturgeon ever caught any
where, continued Joe.

Yes said Joe, when I came away;
he hadn't caught all of him, though
he had about six feet of him ashore y
Gracious said friend how much

Three hundred pounds said Joe
with decision. And he made nine
barrels of oil ?

On AN Iceberg.

L was once summoned home from
my travels on the Continent by very
important news. There was no time
to lose in getting back, so L went as
fast as l could to Havre, and took the
first ship that sailed for New York
1t was in the month of June, which l
considered the most pleasant month
in the year to cross the Atlantic and
though | found after leaving that my
ship was an old and leaky concern, yet
l did not feel any very great anxiety
We went on for several days, and
as we were favored with fine breeze,
perfectly fair, we made very rapid
progress, and soon came within the
region of the banks of Newfoundland.
But here stop was put upon our
progress. On the second day after
we arrived on this spot the wind died
away altogether.
For an entire day we lay becalmed,
with the ship tossing lazily over the
huge ocean surges. All hands grew
impatient. Our captain, who had
been in high glee at our quick pro-
gress, and had expected by this time
to be sailing into New York Harbor,
now lost his patience, and spent the
greater part of time in cursing alter
nately the wind, the waves, the sky,
the sun, the ship, and his own eyes.
This did not help the matter at all,
however. In fact, worse things than
mere calm were in store for u.s.
During the night fog came on, and
when we arose in the morning it had
closed in all around us with a density
that had never seen equaled.
Here was pretty situation. A
dead calm, smooth sea, and not a
breath of wind. | blamed myself
thousand times for not going on to
Liverpool and taking another steamer.
However, there was no resource but
patience. Patient we had to be,
whether we liked it or not.
In the middle of the following day,
however, we felt slight breath of
air. 1t was the first breath of a glo-
rious wind which now again was blow
ing favorably as before. Through the
day it increased, blowing stronger
every hour, until, when 1 went to bed,
I retired with pleasing thought that
every hour carried me ten miles near
er to my home.
1 slept soundly.
But suddenly, at about three o'clock
in the morning, as far as 1 can recol-
lect, 1 was awakened by sudden
crash which sounded like thunder to
my half-aroused senses, and seemed to
shake the ship to pieces.
In a moment l was out of my berth
and up on the deck.
Great Heaven what a spectacle
there met my gaze
All around was the blackness of
darkness. The wind was bowling
fiercely through the rigging. The
sailors were running wildly to and fro.
The captain was standing like man
and shouting, while he
wrung his hands, We're lost we're
lost =
/ spoke not word to any one, but
quickly and nimbly, as cat, l leaped
down from the quarterback on to the
poop deck and rushed forward. 1t
was so intensely dark and thick that /
could see but little with distinctness
Yet a strange feeling of intinse cold
made itself evident even then to my
senses.

before her marriage, and venerated
both her father and his watch But
we can't whip the boy
NO said Pa. Some other means
must be devised
Shut him in a closet said grandpa.
'Oh p cried ma. Then acquieseing
II suppose it must be done, poor
child
Now sound whipping would have
done the child good. But Tom was a
superstitious child, and dreaded the
dark most wofully. The ghost he had
always expected to see come to him
probably in that murky closet, for at
the end of an hour he was taken out
in fit, caused by his terror. 1t was
a terrible time for that little house
hold. Tom was put to bed and a
doctor sent for.
Grandfather Orchard shut himself
up in his room and wept, and his
daughter almost hated him. For his
sake she had punished Tom, and this
was the end.
Alas worse was to come. The lit
tie head never lifted from the pillow.
1t was certain to have happened some
time, the doctor said. The child
could not have lived to grow up, he
was dying.
In week he was dead, and the
mother and father in their selfreproach
heaped doubld reproaches on the old
man, who bore them all in silence.
All the reproaches were of no avail,
however. The little creature lay in
his coffin, and Grandfather Orchard
was to leave his daughters home on
the day after the funeral
1t was midnight. The mother sat
alone in the room, with her dead child.
1t was not very light and the curtains
of the window dropped over her. To
one entering, the room would have
seemed empty. Some one did enter,
on tip-toe. The weeping woman did
look. 1t was her father. His face
was wet with tears. In his hand he
carried something, glittering in the
feeble rays of the lamp on the mantle.
He bent over the coffin.
'Grandpa's Tommyp he moaned,
with his feeble old voice. 'Oh, my
pretty childl My pretty, murdered
child I'll be the next-I'll be the
next, l hope But l never thought
to see this sight
Then he seemed to move the little
form-to be busy about it, somehow.
The mother stepped forward, and
looked, unseen.
The old man had lifted up the head
of the dead child, and beneath the
little lace-trimmed pillow was hiding
away his watch The watch now in
order again, as before the childs fin
gers had been busy with it. The only
thing of value the poor old man pos
sessed.
The mother saw, and was softened.
She came closer to the old man, and
called him by his familiar name:
Father-dear father =
Then she laid upon his breast, weep
ing, and the two were reconciled.
But she made no effort to prevent
the accomplishment of the old mans
wish, and the watch, which had been
the cause of the child's death, if any
earthly thing were actually the cause
of it, was buried with him.

away its lofty summit seemed to touch
the clouds. The terraces were
regular and even. At intervals along
the ascent arose towers and pinnacles
and upon the topmost point a vast
spire of glittering ice shot up straight
into the skies for at least hundred
feet. Seen from a distance it looked

Let We Sleep.
The day is gone, I've walked since morn,
Der paths so rough and steep,
That have often weary grown,i
But dared not go to sleep.
For o'er the loved ones by my side
A strict watch would keep,
Not knowing what ills might betide
If should fall asleep.
But now the night is coming on,
It's shadows o'er me creep;
Ny hopes, my fears, my strength is gone,
And now, now must sleep.
And looking back o'er dutv's path,
see no cause to weep,
And to my loved ones would say,
Mourn not, II now sleep.
I've pointed out for you TO shun
Each pitfall, dark or deep;
Keep well my precepts. then you'll walk
With safety, though sleep.
It matters not when o'er me steals
That slumber, long and deep,
For after such toilsome day
1t will be sweet to sleep.
You need not now my sheltering form
When rough winds o'er you sweep,
SO, dearly loved ones, lay me down,
And let me go.to sleep.
And when above this weary heart
The earth lies, cold and deep,
Pause calmly there and thank our God
For my long, quiet sleep.
