set. The doctor expected with fair
winds to reach New York by ten o'clock
that morning. 1t was then almost dark.
The men we're exhausted with their
days work The doctor accordingly,
ventured to take charge of the craft
while the men slept. He was as tired
as any of them, but being in command
he wished to set good example. The
Captain gave him instructions as to the
direction in which to steer, and he
went below and turned in. They were
soon fast asleep. For two hours and a
half they slept, the doctor meanwhile
keeping the craft steadily on her course.
He had been given instructions to steer
in the direction of Coney Island. The
hours fed, but no signs of the island
were visible. He saw, finally, boat
approach from an opposite direction and
come to stsnd-still. . He then reused
the Captain.
Here are some greenhorns gone
aground" said he as the Captain came
on deck rubbing his eyes.
"Don't say any thing" replied the
Captain, with grin; you are aground
yourself"
The doctor looked around him. By
certain landmarks he was enabled to
make startling discovery. The craft
had not moved quarter of a mile from
her anchorage. For more than two
hours the doctor had sat patiently at the
tiller while the vessel was fast aground.
The tide rose, and the stranded boat was
got off. The doctor was relieved, and
went below to sleep. When he awoke
the sun was shining, but they were in
the open sea. There was a dead calm
The sun was scalding, and the men
were kept busy pouring water over the
captive man-eater to keep him alive.
Ali day the becalmed boat rocked
lazily in the swell of the sea. There
was not enough breeze to stir her limp
sails. The doctor had neglected to
supply the vessel with food, and the men
became faint with hunger. There was
fishing tackle on board, however, and
two small blue6sh were caught. An
impromptu cooking apparatus was
arranged and an attempt made to cook
the fish The furnishing crew, however
did not wait for nice turn, and
devoured the fish half raw.
The day was spent in wettiDg down
the shark and watching for some signs
of breeze, but their hopes were not
realized until the following night. At
six o'clock the next morning the expedi-
ton arrived at the foot OF Thirty-fourth
street and North River. The shark was
still alive. After the hungry shark
hunters bad breakfasted the fish was
landed on the dock. The doctor was in
good spirits, as his efforts, he thought
we're about to be crowned with success
He was the center of throng that
gathered on the wharf to get glimpse
at the monster. Suddenly 1he shark,
with conclusive movement, raised him
self and then fell. He did not stir again,
for he was dead.
The doctor las not attempted shark
hunting since. He says he never wants
to see another man-eating shark. He
delights to tell of his adventure, how
ever, and says that if the boat had not
been becalmed the shark would have
lived. But the hot sun was too much
for it. 3" He was literally baked" says
the doctor.

A Rooster Routing n Fox,
dayton Journal.


MIR. w. Z. Lewis, proprietor Of the
"Gem City " Paper Mills, has minia-
ture geological garden at his mills on
East Water-street, and among the col
lection of birds and beasts is diminu-
tive bantam rooster that has exhibited
spirit Of heroic bravery as great as
did the Cincinnati donkey on whipping
a lioness.
A few days since a tame crow, while
taking a meditative walk (meditating
some devilment, no doubt), came in too
close proximity to sly old fox that was
feigniDg sleep near his den, where he is
confined by a light chain. Reynard
was apparently obivious to all passing
things, but that crow has now learned
appearances are very deceitful, and so
are foxes. Before the crow was
aware of danger the fox had seized it.
Then there was loud cav, caw," and
a Topping of wings, which attracted the
attention Of the little bantam rooster
He took in the situation at glance, and
at once rushed to the rescue of his
feathered companion. The plucky little
rooster few into the face of the fox,
struck hard with wing and spur, and 50
worried the fox that he dropped the
crow and gave his attention to the
rooster, but his feathered antagonist
proved as agile as he is brave, and SO
soon as he saw the poor crow, minus few
feathers, hop off safely beyond the lin
its of Reynard's chain, he concluded the
law of self-preseryation was the next
best thing in order, SO carried it into
effect. The fox then skulked into his
den SO deeply chagrined at the turn of
affairs, that he did not come out again
hat day.

GLEANLNGS FROM THE MUSE.
CHATEAUx EN- ESPAGNE.
BY EVA L. EMERY.

Have you seen them in their glory,
Crowned with turrets huge and hoary,
In the land OF oreams7
Have you seen their banners glowing,
In the crimson sunset flowing,
To your heart triumph showing
In days dying besms2
Have you seen those halls of splendor,
Veil ed with mist aud shadow tender
As the flush OF YOUTH
Have you deemed their beauty, blending
With the shades of eve descending
In purple food unending
AS the tide of youth?
Thro' the cable gates Of slumbeT,
Thro' day-dreamiDgs without number,
Ye have built them there;
In the mystic realm of fancies,
Wrapped ia Hopes ecstatic frances,
Where the better sef advances,
Holy, pure, and fair.
Silver streams and gurgling fountains,
Backgrounds din of distant mountains,
Grace the mellow scene;
Ceaseless throngs of happy faces,
Lit with loves alluring graces,
Wander in these sacred places,
Evermore serene.
All these mortals know OF pleasure,
Trust, and truth, and friendships treasure,
Youth has pictured here.
But alas for vain believing,
In this world of self deceiving,
In breath, despite thy grieviDg,
They will disappear.
Shattered is thy fondest vision,
Ferished is thy dream elysian,
Never to return;
All thy cherished idols breaking,
Every ideal shape forsaking,
Sits the Real in sober waking,
On Hopes funeral urn.

Preaching With His Pockets Full Of
Pickerel.

lhartIoru Times
DR.. Lyman Beecher, though devout
and earnest divine, was, like the cele-
brated Robert Hall, great lover of i'll
nocent amusements. This is attested
by his well-known fondness for his vo-
lin, the music of which might not
always have been considered by the
most sanctimonious as strictly orthodox.
The following incident related by an
old resident of Litchfield, Mr.. BeeCher's
home for many years, is characteristic
OF the famous preacher, and illustrates
his calm self-possession
Fishing was one of his favorite diver
sions, and he was sometimes seen stand
ing nearly knee-deep in water of
neighboring pond trowling for pickerel.
He was engaged in this piscatorial pas
time one Friday afternoon, and 80 alb
sorbed had he become in capturing the
fnny denizens of the lake, depositing
each in the capacious pocket of loose
sack coat, which he wore for the pur-
pose, that he had entirely forgotten that
this was the afternoon for his usual
preparatory lecture until the ringing of
the church bell admonished him of the
fact. Having now only time to reach
the church in season for the service, he
shouldered the fishing pole and started
Immediately for the church, on reach
ing which he deliberately set up the
pole against the church. beside the door,
entered and walked gravely up the long
aisle to the pulpit, while the measured
slump, slump of the water in his 'oots
was distinctly heard at every step. He
assembled the pulpit stairs and proceeded
at once to the duties of his Office, de-
livering one of the most impressive dis
courses, all unmindful of his burden Of
fish, some of which had hardly yet
ceased to struggle in his pocket. At
the conclusion of the service he again
shouldered his fishing pole and walked
leisurely home.

A RepOrt0rial Hero.
detroit Free Press.


Sometimes a reporter goes up in
balloon with an aeronaut. 1t would
seem at first sight that the balloon man
had the reporter completely at his
mercy, but such is not the case. He
laughs best who laughs last, and the re-
porter has the writing up of the aerial
voyage. Recently balloon ascension
was made near Montreal and reporter
of the New York Herald went up. Tine
account of the trip shows conclusively
that it was one of the most terrible on
record. But the mind of the reader
turns with pleasure from the horror of
the situation to admire the wonderful
bravery Of this daring reporter. The
balloon would swoop down on forests,
then bound to the skies, or nearly there,
then dip into lake, then turn double
somersault without touching the ground
in fact, it acted in the most outrageous
and undignified manner. The balloon
list was as pale as ashes, his teeth chat
tered and his knees knocked together
But the reporter, oh, where was he?
With a calm smile at danger, and look
of uLruffled serenity on his marble
brow, he gave his orders in the same
quiet tone he would have used in order
ing a beefsteak rare at penny restaur-
ant. The trembling balloonist was bid
to lull his fears. The reporter mildly
informed him that the next thing to do
was to get down out of this and ordered
him to throw out some more ballast.
The balloonist was so utterly!prostrated
by fear that instead of doing this he
opened the valve and the balloon
started down. The balloon struck
forest and tore great oaks up by the
roots and left track of fallen trees in
its wake. The reporter desiring to stop
the wholesale destruction of valuable
timber, climbed on the netting, kicked
open the valve and brought up the
FESTIVE balloon against barn. Having
saved the life of the aeronaut several
times he completed the good work by
carrying the fainting man into farm
house and there resuscitating him.
When you let New York reporter tell
his own story you will find MIN the
bravest, most daring hero on record.

Cattle in the United States.

The late quarterly report of the Bu-
reau of Statistics gives the number of
cattle in the United States for two pc
RODS, that of 1869 and 1878. The whole
number of mich cows in 1869 is given
at 9,302,714; all other cattle, 12,464385.
In 1878 there were IL 300, 100 COWS, and
1928, 800 head of other cattle. This
shows a large per cent. of increase in
eight years. The number in the States
named below for those two periods
stood as follows:
