A Model Confession.

Several years ago, in a Western town, a
young lawyer, a member of large
church, got drunk. The brethren said he
must confess. He demurred. He knew
the members to be good people, but
that they had their little faults, such as
driving sharp bargains, screwing the la
borers down to low wages, loaning money
at illegal rates, disappearing articles
they had for sale, etc. But they were
good people, and pressed the lawyer to
come before the church meeting and own
up his sin of taking a glass too much; for
they were temperance people, and alb
horred intemperance
The sinner finally went to the confess
sion, found a large gathering of brethren
and sisters, whose bowed heads rose and
whose eyes glistened with pure delight
as the lawyer began his confession.

ten per cent. for money" On that con-
fession down went a brothers head with

A Remedy for Heart Disease.

a middle-aged man walked into one
of the drug stores in certain village,
and handing out to the clerk a half
drachm vial. filled apparently with white
powder, asked him if he could tell what
it contained. 1t was labelled, For heart
disease-take three times a day." He
said he took the vial from the pocket of
a young man who, he thong hit, acted
strangely, and wanted to know its con-
tents. The clerk took it to his prescrip-
ton desk, drew out the cork, when he
observed thread following it attached
to the cork. Drawing it out, he found at
the end of the thread minute mitten.
The vial was lined with clean white pa
per, which gave it the appearance of be-
ing filled. The clerk replaced the nit
ten and cork, and, handing it back to
the man, told him that it was a we'll
known but harmless remedy fer heart dis
ease, and that in most cases one dose was
sufficient. The inquirer looked relieved,
and walked away with his precious bot
tie snugly tucked in his vest pocket. The
girl that gave him that bottle won't be
troubled with any more calls from him.

Dean Swift and the Bootmaker.

A friend having told Dean Swift that
an excellent Dublin bootmaker, Bamerick.
was very deslrous of the honor of his
custom, the dean ordered pair Of boo.s
OF him, and asked when they would be
ready. Bamerick named the day, and his
new customer told him, that he didn't
want to hurry him, but that he must not
fail to send them on the day named. Ba-
merck assured him this should be done.
The day arrived, but no boots. Swift
went to the shop and received ample
apologies from Bamerick. with the assur-
ance that it was one of his men who was
to blame. "Well," the dean rejoined, 81

the north, to-day, but this has prevented
me. They will be done on Monday, YOU
say; bring them up in the afternoon your
self, and I'll pay the bill" Bamerick
duly arrived with the boots, and found
the dean very afable. "By the way, Mr..
Bamerick, he presently said, 81 don't
think you've ever seen my garden; come
along" After the dean had walked the
boot maker round bit, he excused him
self and returned to the house, locking
the door behind him. Bamerick waited
and waited, the sun went down and the
evening closed in dark and chill. The
garden was surrounded by high wall.
and there was no way of getting out. At
length the dean rose from his writine-ta-
BILE, took pistol and drew out the bullets
and then called up his butler. ssRobert,'
he said, II am sure there is some fellow,
probably a thief, in the garden. Call the
other men and come with me-" With
that the dean went to the garden gate and
opened i: stealthily. Poor Bamerick
rushed forward, There's the villain.

powder. The unhappy Bamerick shrek
ed out, "For Gods sake, don't shoot! it's
only me, Bamerick." 'Mr. Bamerlck.;
exclaimed Swift in tones of the utmost
establishment, "what is the meaning of
this2" why, sir you've left me here
since five o'clock. You must have forgot
ten all about me-" "Ah dear me. to be
sure" said the dean, '.just as you did
about the boots" Then he told the but
tier to give Bamerick some hot wine and
see him safe home. Who hasn't met
with Bamerick9 How many tradesmen
are not daily disappointing their custom
ers, as he did? Unfortunately, however,
there are no Swifts to give these recalci-
trants wholesome lessons in punctuality.

WHAT the Hired Man Sang.

Gentry was wont to employ singular
method of slackening or quickening the
pace of walking companion 90 suit his
own inclination. "To say" he would
argue, "you walk too fast or too slow is
unpolite; but to sing softly an air to the
time of the walk of your companion, and
the by degrees either to quicken the time
or make it slower, Is as innocent as it is
convenient" The principle of Gretry's
ruse was well exemplitied IN the case of
the stingy farmer who gave his hired hay
maker buttermilk and whey for break
fast, and going to the field heard the
man singing in drawing way,
B-u-t-t-e-r-m-i-lka and whey,
Faint all day, faint all day;
his scythe keeping time to the tune. The
next morning the farmer set good meal
of bacon and eggs before the man, and
when he went to see how he was getting
on with his work, found his arms going
swiftly to Bacon and eggs. take care Of

Robinson Crusoe's Island.
From the Panama Star and Herald.

Fran highly interesting private letter,
dated April 30, we gather some particu-
lars in regard to the Island Juan Fernan-
DEE, the scene Of De Foes famous TO-.
nance. The letter in question was writ
ten by the Captains wife on board an
American wbaler which called at the
island for supply of wood and fresh
provisions. The writer says: "Finding
to our delight very clear and beautiful
morning, we were ready for the boat to
take us on shore by s o'clock. We found
a nice landing place, with few houses
close by the shore. The gentlemen who
leases the island from the CHILEAN Gov
eminent, Mr.. Alf de Rode, Gan enterpris
ing Swiss,) met us on the mole and very
cordially invited us to his house, and
gave us some fresh milk and bread, as
the morning air had sharpened our ap-
petites. He then said he would 60 with
us to see the cave where Alexander Sell
kirk (the original Robinson Crusoe) lived
SO long. When we arrived there a beau
full lunch was set before us, composed of
various viands, wines, fruits, ETC., while
there was nice cool water near by, max.
ing it altogether lovely. After an hour
or so spent examining the fair famed
locality, we took our leave well pleased
with our visit.
"Mr. De Rode has leased the entire
island for period of eight years, and is
stocking it with cattle, etc., with which
to supply passing vessels or to ship to
the mainland. Fine feed abounds, and
there is an ample supply of fresh water.
Wild goats are abundant, and many are
consumed by the natives for food, the
skins being handed over to the proprie-
tor. There are also a great number of
fine fish in the surrounding waters. The
highest part of this island is about 5000
fee. The scenery is varied and exceed
ingly beautiful. The climate is tropical,
and life IN such a place, although OF
necessity very isolated, must still pos
sess all the romantic charm which for
ever interests the far off summer isles of
the Pacific Ocean.

The Rose of Eden
ARABIC LEGEND.

Fair Eve knelt close by the guarded gate; in
the glow of the Eastern Spring,
She saw the flash of the angels sword, and
the sheen of the angels wing;
She thought as she held her sobbing breath,
she could hear the happy signs
OF the tiny rivulets that fed the MOSES of
Paradise;
She knew how the birds were futtering,
among the clustured flowers,
And gorgeous blooms and arching trees, that
Swallowed Eden's bowers
And she cried aloud in agony OF wild remorse
full prayer,
Give me one bud, but one, from the thousands
that blossom there!"
Az as he heard her piteous voice, in
grave angelic grace,
And he looked with wistful tenderness on
the beautiful woman's face,
AND because 1t was so beautiful, and because
she could not see
How fair were the pure white cyclamen,
crushed dying at her knee;
And because he knew this punishment
through the weary years must burn.
That through all things sweet and good on
earth, her heart would for Eden yearn;
He gathered rich red rose that grew where
the four great rivers met,
And flung it to the frail, fatal hands, that
clasped imploring yet.
And though for many cycle past, that rose
in dust has lain,
With her who wore it on her breast, when she
passed from life and pain.
There is never daughter of Eve but once, ere
the tale of her day is done,
She will know the scent of the Eden rose just
once beneath the sun!
And whatever else she may win or lose, en-
dure, or do or dare,
She will never forget the enchantment it gave
to the common air;
For the werld may give her content or joy,
fame, sorrow or sacrifice,
But the hour that brought the scent Of the
rose, she lived it in Paradise!

"Meditatfon.o

Through the interlacing vines are golden
sunbeams sitting;
Around her, wrapped in happy dreams, the
| sweet coy zephyrs play,
thousand faint and perfumed SCENTS upon
their pinions drifting
From lilied gardens near her and from
meadows far away.
Unheeded on her dainty lap the open page is
lying
That often wooes her loving eyes to its de-
vices quaint,
Though now her wandering thoughts have
gone, like silver doves a-fying,
remote from monkish legend and from
medieval saint
While the dear old missal held her did she list
to convent bells,
Lifting pure and sacred voices calling hal
lowed souls to prayer?
Or did soft Prove2cal songs, rhythmic in de.
licious swells
Floatin tender cadenced music THROUGH the
palpltatlng air?
Rose before her, grand and stately, castles off
brave renown?
Did she hear the bugle's pealing, did she
thrill at warder's cry,
AS they hasted, loyal hearted, lowered TIL an
tique draw bridge down,
While the knight, with gay plumes sweep
ing, rode to meet his lady's eye?
Nay, of gallant knight and lady were her gen
tie thoughts, in sooth,
But the knight poured not in battle blood
to make the roses pale.
VI the lady fair and gracious only this we
know IN truth:
She is strong to hide her passion under
pride's thrice-armored mail.
And the flower within her fingers, closely
clasped, will never tell
That she kissed it when he left her, sitting
quietly apart,
Bending eyes and ruby lips DER that missal
wrought in cell
BY some patient, gifted one who had heav-
en- within his heart
Ii IN tolls of gossamer have lissom fancies
bound her,
And glide before her days to come, a rich
and splendid train,
The while that mornings tranquil peace
folds shimmering around her,
Such airy musings well befit a maiden's
busy brain.

umbus could have told his story in this
fashion, and could have it to the world

much more comfort it would have been

world! But Columbus lived in an age

which Columbus never had dreamed,
He represented two newspapers, the
New York Herald and the London Tele-
graph--leaders of the press which now
encompasses and rules the world. He
carried with him arms Of precision and
strength, embodying the strongest force
of civilization.
He was served by science in the shape
of instruments which would have excited
the wonder of Columbus, and which en-
