Ida Lewis.

On my last day, writes Newport cor
l had sail and fish all
alone in the bay, and / improved the
occasion to pay my respects to Miss Ida
Lewis, the heroine who has saved over
a dozen lives at sea amid storms before
which the bravest quailed, and where
ture. Miss Lewis is no longer young
face, but her manners are graceful and
those of a lady-quiet, natural, and un-
assuming. She converses easily, and
only talks of herself when questioned.
l was sorry to hear from her that her
health was failing her. [ heard from
other sources that she had married not
long ago and been disappointed il her
choice. 1 could not but feel for her
great pity, united to the greatest respect.
The evening before had seen one of
those silken, unnatural rich women of
fashion, such as they have at Newport,
sitting in her chariot, arrayed in her
laces, founces, ribbons, and diamonds,
with puppy dog in her fair, taper arms,
the object evidently of her tenderest
solicitude, and, the day before that,
another woman in railroad car travel
ling about with cat. And here was
this good, quiet, brave little woman, iv-
ing the livelong year off the rocks, shut
off for most of the year from any society
except her mother, yet contented and
happy In the practice of duty, keeping
brave watch for the suffering, and put
ting out in her boat through the raging
storm periling her own life to save the
lives of those who were utter strangers
to her, and all the while bearing her hon
ors as meekly as if she had been some
simple village maiden.

A FaYOrite Story of Dickens.

The following story may have gone
the round of the newspapers but it is
good enough for re-telling, since Dickens
said of it: "You must know that I have
appropriated that story and acquired
immense reputation by itp' 1t occurs
in paper of "reminiscences in jScribner
for October, entitled D" A Yankee Tar
and her Friends"
On one of Captain Morgan's voyages
from America to England, he had under

reducing five young men to the verge of
distraction. She was quite ready to
marry one; but what could she do with
five? In the embarrassment of her riches
she sought the captain, who after few
moments thought, said: cts fine
calm day; suppose, by accident you fall
overheard; I'll have boat lowered
ready to pick you up, and you can take
the man who loves you we'll enough to
jump after you" This novel proposition
met the young lady's views, and the
programme was accordingly carried out,
with the trifling exception that four of
the young men took the plunge, and,
being picked up by the boat, presented
themselves a dripping quartette upon
the ships deck. The object of their un-
dampened ardor, no less wet than them
selves, fled to her state-room and sent fol-
her adviser, the captain. "Now, Cap

An Awful Bite.
burlington Hawk-Eye.l ]

Everybody in Burlington knows John
Oglesby, the book-keeper at Dope &
Smartman's, down on Main Street. We
suppose that Mr.. Oglesby is the quietest
man that ever opened his mouth to
speak. He is so even-tempered, so per-
fectly calm, so innocent, that it would
do person good to see him get mad
once, and howl and swear and rave
around. But he never does, and now
we don't believe he ever will. Yester-
day afternoon, about three o'clock, he
was walking out for a breath of air,
very tired of the desk, when he dropped
in at John III. Gears for quiet chat.
Some of the boys in the store had just
baited a steel trap and set it down on a
store box, and what should Oglesby do
but back up to that box, hoist himself up,
and sit right down on that trap. Of
course it went off like a savings bank,
and caught hold of Mr.. Oglesby with
grip like besetting sin.
Oglesby never said word He got
off the box with an injured look, and
walked back TO his own store and went
straight to his desk, where he worked
all lafternoon. Occasionally he paused in
his writing and stood with his pen poised
in the air and then grieved look would
steal over his face and the clerks in the
store say they never saw him come 50
near expressing emotion of some I'M
usual nature as he did at those times.
But he never spoke, and with heavy
sigh of resignation he would resume his
work. This occurred quite number of
times during the afternoon.
And all that time that steel trap clung
to him like the taint of SANDER, with its
jaws set SO hard that it never clanked or
ratified under the concealing curtain of
his coat tails. And up at Mr.. Gears
the porter was just aching to set eyes on
he son of thief who had stolen the
next governors rat trap, and was Won
dering if Mr.. Gear couldn't hang the
fellow, who ever it was right away after
election day.
Well, it wasn't till till tea time, when
Oglesby had put away his books and
locked up the safe and was aboutto to start
home that any one spoke to him about
his distraitmanner. Then Mr.. Dope the
senior member of the firm remarked to
his bookeeper that he didn't just look
