Toward morning q dull, murmuring
sound was heard; it was the breakers,
close on the lee-beam. Every wave that
struck the lugger threw her nearer to
them, and it seemed almost impossible
to avoid them. The captain wruDg his
hands, and the crew chanted the prayers
of their church, for death seemed inev-
liable.
Day dawned, and there were breakers
white with foam close on the lee. Just
then a beautifully modelled yacht, with
closely reefed mainsail and ~fOresail, and
storm jib, came dancing over the wa
tiers.

voice which was heard above the rag.

and both vessels had passed through a
safe channel, and were inside of the
reef, the yacht plotting the lugger.
When they had reached a little cove the
yacht shot in, dropped its anchor, furled
sails, and loon its boat came to the lug.

"Lord Ulster presents his compliments

"Let us 60 and thank him." said the
minister; "for l am sure that had he
not shown u captain how to get in

his ideas for a complimentary ha-
rangue.
The yacht was fitted up in man-Of-
war style, and even Ellen could not but
admire her snow-white deck, with its
brass cannonades and neatly cOiled
ropes; but what was her surprise when
she saw emerge from the companion
way the idol of her affections. Clasping
her in his arms, he gave her a fervent
embrace.

The clergyman seemed struck with a

Something In The Bed.

Judge Pitman has habbit of slipping
his watch under his pillow when he
goes to bed. The other night somehow
it slipped down, and as the Judge was
restless, it gradually worked its way
downward toward the foot of the bed.
After bit, while he was lying awake,
his foot touched it, and as 1t felt very
cold, he was surprised and scared, and,
jumping from his bed, he said
I" BY gracious, Maria there's toad or
a snake or something under the covers.
touched it with my foot"
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream, and
was out on the floor in an instant.
Now, don't go to hollering and
waking up the neighbors," said the
Judge. You go and get the broom or
something, and we'll fix this thing
mighty quick"
Mrs. Pitman got the broom and gave
it to the Judge, with the remark that
she felt as if snakes were creeping all up
and down her legs and back.
60, nonsense, Maria Now you turn
down the covers slowly, while hold the
broom and bang it. Put bucket of
water alongside the bed, too, SOS we can
shove it in and drown it,"
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and
gently removed the covers. The Judge
held the broom uplifted, and, as soon as
the black ribbon of the watch was re-
vealed, he cracked away three or four
times with his broom. Then he pushed
the thing off into the bucket. Then
they took the bucket to the light to
investigate the matter. When the Judge
saw what it was, he said:
:" 1 might have known that! Just
| like you women, to go around screeching
and making fuss about nothing. Who's
going to pay me for that watch It's
utterly ruined"
" 1t was you made the fuss, not me-"
said Mrs. Pitman. " You needn't try
to put the blame on me.
80 hush up and go to bed I'm tired
of hearing you blather. Pears to me
you can't keep your tongue still a
minute. Blame me if l amt going to
get divorce and emigrate."
And then the Judge turned in and
! growled at Maria until he fell asleep.

GOING SOFTLY.

She makes no moan above her faded flowers,
She will not vainly strive against her lot,
Patient she wears away the slow, sad hours,
As il the ray they had were quite forgot;
While stronger fingers snatched away the sword,
And lighter footsteps pass her on the ways
Yielding submissive TO the stern award
That said she must go softly all her days.
She knows the pulse is beating quickly, ,,
She knows the dream is sweet and subtle still
That struggling from the cloud Of past regret
Ready for conflict live Hope, Joy and Will;
So soon, so soon to veil the eager eyes,
To dull the throbbing ear to blame or praise
So soon to crush reWakening sympathies:
And teach them she goes softly all her days
She will not speak or move beneath the DOOM
She knows she had her day and flung her
cast
The loser scarce the laurel may assume,
Nor even think the MONDAY glow can last.
Only, o youth and love, as in your pride
OF JOYOUS triumph your gay notes you rlse'
Throw one kind glance and word where at your
side,

Rolla was justly esteemed the first vio.
linist in Italy, and Paganini expresas5
the most lively desire 10 be placed mn.
der the guidance and direction Of A
competent n teacher. To gratify tb;s
wish he went TO Milan. But already b;s
genius was unable to submit TO the e.
tablished forms Of the schools which
had preceded him. Disputes constantly
arose between master and pupil con.
cerning innovations, which the latter
could only as yet conceive, without be-
ing able to execute them in a satisfaeto-
ry manner, and which were condemned
by the severe taste of the former. Pa
ganini soon abandoned himself in soil
tude to the researches with which his
mind was occupied, and he then studied
the Italian and French authors who had
written on music and the violin. His
course of study was extensive and
thorough. In 1905, when he was 2l.
he entered the service of Napoleon's
sister Eliza, Princess of Luiccomb and
Piano, in the capacity of concordist and
chef d'orcheStre. In consequence of a
wager, he one night led an opera and
played solo upon violin having only
two strings-the third and forth. This
was the origin of those tours de force
which he was afterwards in the habit of
making upon that instrument, and
which he carried so far as to lay himself
open to the charge of charlatsnism.
When the Princess Eliza became Grand
Duchess of Tuscany, Paganini followed
her to Florence, where he became the
object of general admiration. His tai.
ent kept developing itself daily in new
forms, but he had not yet discovered
the means Of regulating its exercise. In
1910 he had, however, so far perfected
his mechanism, that he gave for the first
time, at Court concert, his variations
on the fourth string, the extent of which
he carried to three octaves by means Of
harmonic sounds. This novelty had a
prodigious success, especially when he
made it public at concert given by
himself at Parma, August 10, 1911.
From that date Paganini's remarkable
career may be said to have commenced.
Year after year he went from place to
place in Italy, and thence to Germany,
creating fitrore in all as the mostre
markable violinist that ever lived.

What Garters Do.

A writer j.. in the Popular Science
Monfhly asserts that in New York City

fer from diseases due to a want Of
knowledge of the laws of health and
cleanliness. Among these diseases he
mentions the following: Varicose ulcers
from dress; skin diseases from want Of
cleanliness; chest diseases and feyers
from defective ventilation. But the
writer mentions one disease to which
and to its cause we invite considerate
attention. The disease is the varicose
ulcer caused by varicose veins, which
are caused by the ordinary elastic gar
ter. The writer says:
In varicose veins, the valves which
help to support the column OF blood
are to q great extent destroyed, though
the veins have been distended by me-
chanical obstruction to the free return
of the blood from the extremities,
thereby distending the lower veins and
separating the edges Of the valves.
Thus, the weight Of an uninterrupted
column has to be borne by the veins,
This. Of course, causes further disten-
ton. giving rise to congestion Of the
capiilaries Of the skin, and causing
swelling, eczema, and ultimately ulcer
alton
This is the varicose ulcer so common
in the laboring classes. It is always
difficult to heal, and often impossible,
except by prolonged rest in bed.
The most frequent and fragrant cause
of obstruction is the ordinary elastic
garter. Children should never wear
them at all, as the stockings can be per,
