As one who walking in the forest sees
A lovely landscape through the parted
trees,
Then sees it not for bougbs that inter-
vene, |
Or as we see the moon sometimes re-
vealed
Through drifting clouds, and then again |
concealed,
So beheld the scene.
There are two guests OF table now;
The king, deposed, and older grown,
No longer occnpies the throne,-
The crown is on his sisters brow;
A princess from the Fairy Tales,
The very pattern girl Of girls,
All covered and embowered in eurls,
Rose-tinted from the Isle of Flo@ers,
And sailing with soft silken sails
From far-otf Dreamland into ours.
Above their bowls with rims of blue
Four azure eyes of deeper hue
Are looking, dreamy with delight;
Limpid as planets that emerge
Above the oceans rounded verge,
Soft shining through the summer night.
steadfast they gaze, yet nothing see
Beyond the horizon of their bowls;
Nor care they for the world that rolls,
With all it's freight Of troubled souls
Into the days that are to be.

DR.. SoHENoE's PULMoSI0 SYRUP, SEA WEED
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PLLs.-These medi-
cines have undoubtedly performed more cures
Of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are COM
pounded Of vegetable ingredients, and con-
tain nothing which can be injurious to the
human constitution. Other remedies adver-
tised as cures for Consumption. probably con-
tain opium. which is somewhat dangerous
drug IN all cases. and If taken freely by con-
umptiye patients. il must do great injury;
for its tendency is to cOnfne the morbid mat
ter in the system, which. of course, must
make a cure impossible. Sehenck's Pulmonio
Syrup is warranted not TO contain a particle
of opium. 1t is composed Of powerful but
harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver,
stomach, and blood, aud thus correct all NOR
bid secretions. aud expel all the diseased mat
ter from the body. These are the only means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic.
and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines
which operate in this way, IL is Obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle Of this invaluable
medicine Is accompanied by full directions.

The item was quietly handed back to
him, and he was informed that Detroit
was not his home. His talents were too
much for the town-too many years in
advance Of it. They couldn't appreciate
him here. Out in Chicsgo-nearer the
setting sun-they we're standing round
on the corners looking for such men.
"You hain't foolin', stranger3" he
asked, his face expressing the gravest
anxiety.
No, he could depend upon it. 1t was
a solemn thing to fool with young man
just starting out in life, and it was also
against Office rules.
And Chicago is-is-P"
Just two hundred and eighty-four
miles west of Detroit"
"Good-by, stranger" he continued,
as he rose up and picked up his bundle
and put the end OF his big cane under
the strap. I'm very much obleeged to
you, and if l don't walk it in four days
it's because the railroad bed gives out.

DANGEROUS FISHING.


Dragged TO Sea by Sharks
From the Galveston News.
A colored man named James Ellis, or
Elias, tells wonderful story about the
narrow escape of companion who ac-
companied him out upon the beach last
Wednesday morning to fish. The two
men, it seems, have been in the habit OF
fishing every morning at an early hour,
and always go amply prepared with
hooks and lines adapted to the capture
of members of the fnny tribe of all
sizes. On the morning specified above
Ellis and his companion, Wash -,
threw in their lines, after wading out
some distance into the surf, and accord
ing to his usual custom, Wash tied the
line about his left wrist A short time
afterward Ellis, who was some distance
to the eastward, heard Wash shouting:
tive got him I've got him
What have you ketched2" asked
Ellis.
81 believe it's whale or a jewish" "
answered Wash.
As Wash made this answer Ellis no
tieed that. he was being dragged forward
into the gulf, and started to render as
SlSJduCe. LII tuc noduOimO W dSh was
being dragged rapidly out to sea, at
times struggling with all his might on
his feet, and at other times submerged
beneath the waves. 1t was then that
Ellis fully realized the peril of his COM
panion, having remembered his habit of
tying the line about his arm while fish
ing. =,
1t was an awful moment. With all
his efforts, Ellis found that it would be
impossible to reach the struggling man.
Already he had passed the first bar; a
few moments more and he would be in
deep water, and not being able to swim,
even il he succeeded in releasing him
self from the line he must certainly
perish. Suddenly, however, he was
noticed to stop and, standing upon his
feet, raised both hands above the waves.
Wash" shouted Ellis, rushing for
ward, has you done got loser
"Yes," was the reply, but, Lord
bless you, it was a tight squeeze, sure
enough"
what was it2" asked Ellis.
Wash replied that when he first fast
ened on to it he thought it was big red
| fish or gar, but few jerks convinced
him that it was either whale or shark,
most probably the latter. AT one time,
after crossing the bar, he sawit leap out
of the water, and it appeared to be about
ten feet long, as near as he could calcu-
late. The probability is that Wash will
hold his line in his hand the next time
he goes out to fish

lowing at the soonest Where the
Scottish custom is followed Of the newly
welded couple being welcomed home by
the husbands mother meeting them at
the door and breaking currant bun
over the head OF the bride before her
foot crosses the threshold, it is thought
very bad omen If the bun be by mis-
take broken over any head but that to
which the honor is due. If bridal
party ventures off dry land, they must
90 up stream; should they be fool hardy
enough to go down the water, either the
bride, the bridegroom or one of the
bridesmaids will infallibly feed the fish.

ne Yearned 20 be a Reporter.

He came up the four pair of stairs
Saturday morning, and as soon as he
had recovered his breath he wanted to
know if the Free Press would like to
engage another reporter. He said he
hadn't had much experience, but he said
it in tone which meant to convey the
idea that he knew his business. He was
tall and thin, had on a plug hat which
looked as if it had been run over by a
drove Of mules his collar had sweat
through and his bandana handkerchief
was remarkable for the many orevasses
in it. His boots were red with old age,
and his pants were stuffed into the tops.
Nevertheless, his face was one to COM
mand attention, and his tones were re-
spectful In reply be was told that there
was always room at the top Of the pro-
fession, just as Daniel Webster told
young lawyer once upon a time. He said
he thought four stories high was about as
near the top of profession as a fellow
could get, but his joke was too old to
laugh at. He didn't want much pay, he
said, his object being to identify himself
with some growing journal and let the
feeting years bring him wealth and lau-
rels He was bnt nineteen years old,
and he had plenty of time. He said be
could sit up three nights running, ingra-
tiate himself into the affections of the
police in one brief hour, and he knew
the fremen and the captains of the
ferryboats would love him on sight He
could report anything, he said, from a
dog fight to a regatta, and he wrote a
- 10 70 al
gious meetings, knew all about medical
conventions, and would go for woman
suffrage or become granger, just as the
paper desired. He preferred, he said,
10 work all day and all night; but if the
Office had rule requiring a man to sleep
three or four hours out of the twenty
four, he would obey.
He promised much more, and his tones
grew more serious as he talked. He
was being consumed by burning ambi-
ton to WELD lead pencil, and 6re-water
had no effect upon him. BE was CUP"
in grammar, posted in poets, and as for
history, he could repeat every important
event from the hour the boy stood on
the burning deck down to Eli Perkins

had brought along few specimens Of
what he could do-faint efforts scratched
off with chain-lightning velocity. he
handed one over. 1t read:

The car is short caboose, fashioned

and has no more wheels than a one
horse wagon, which gives it an uneasy
and suggestive way on the track.
brakeman sits with his head swung out
at window. The conductor sits with
his watch in his hand. Nobody has any
business there at all. The engineer is
doing his best to make a distant sta
ton, and get upon the side-track before
the express wants the road. You find
this out by degrees. 1t makes you feel
light, but not airy The kitchen rocks
like cradle for dozen rods, and then
iounces the light out and the water
barrel over and your hat off, and the
stove rattles like smity in driving time.
Then it gathers itself up like salient
goat, and bounces against the bumper OF
the next car, and something snaps. No
matter. The train swings around the
curve, and you feel as you did years
ago when you were the last boy on the
string in the game Of snap the whip.
You steady your lower jaw little and
ask the conductor if he is going to stop
before he stops for good, to wit: meets
the express, and he says; Genesee
1t occurs to you that he has mentioned
the very place you are bound for though
you never heard OF it before. The con-
ductor informs you it is safe to bet we
are "just dusting," and you believe
him-the only safe thing about the train.
1t is thirty miles an hour. Another
head is hung out of window, and you
think you II try to count fence posts. 1t
doesn't happen to be fence, but stock
ade; and as for telegraph poles, you
have seldom observed them thicker to
the mile. You look forward. and see
the lights down the track. Drawing in
like a turtle, you tell the conductor.
"What is it, Joe2" and the breakman
replies, Nothin." The conductor puts
his watch to his ear. Has it stopped?
With rattle and roar the engineer keeps
launchiHg the train into the midnight
A shrill shrek of the locomotive whistles
you up, and you are on your ieet like a
cat. The brakeman runs up his little
iron ladder, the speed slackens, the train
comes to a dead halt. 1t is Genesee,
and one grateful passenger leaves that
frantic caboose to set foot in it, like
Poes raven, ne 5ermore. "-B. F. Tdy-
