What I Hare Noticed

| have noticed that all men speak
vol Of all mems virtues whom they
arc dead; and that tomhstones arc
marked with..epitaphs of good and
virtuous." Is thc-o any particular
cemetery where the bad men arc
buried? ! have noticed that the
prayer of overy selfish man, "for-
give our debts" means that ho
makes everybody pay who owes
him to the utmost farthing. I
have noticed that death is n merci-
less judge, though not partial.
Every man owes a debt. Death
summons tho debtor, and he lays
down his dust in the currency Of
mortality. l have noticed TINT he
who thinks every man a rogue is
very certain to see ono when he
shaves himself, and ho ought, in
mercy to his neighbors, to surrcn-
dertllo rascal to justice. I have
noticed that money is the FOOLS
wisdom, the knavo's reputation,
tho wise mans jewel, the rich
mans trouble, the poor mans de-
sire, the covetOus mans ambition,
and tho idol of all. l have noticed
that merit is always measured in
the world by its SUCCESS. | have
noticed that in order to be a reason
able creature il is necessary to bc
downright mad. l have noticed
that we are always wishing instead
of working for fortunes, We arc dis
appointed, and call fortune
"blinl," but it is tho worry best
evidence that the Z old ladySlias
most capital eycsight, and is no
granny with spectaclcs. L have
noticed that purses will hold pen.
nics as well as pounds. l have
noticed that tombstoncs say, "lIcrO
ho lies" which, no doubt, is often
the truth; and il men could See
the cpitaphs their friends somo-
times write, they would surely be-
lieve they had got into the wrong
graves.

"Jhc OIL OdkeH Bucket

Seeing n few lines in your issuc
Of yesterday, stating that "The Old
0aEcn Bucket WAS produced un-
der the inspiration" Of a glass Of
brandy and water, I am sure that
the particulars relating to said Gin
spiration" will prove interesting to
many of your Sunday readers !:
Samuel Wootlworth, the author of
"Thc Old Oaken Bucket" died at
New York in 1912, aged 81. Ho
was q printer, and served his ap-
premiership at Boston, in tho Office
Of Major Russell, the publisher of
tho Csntinel. The popular and
beautiful ballad, for which he was
best known, is said to have had its
origin in the following circumstan-
ces:
He was employed in an office on
tho corner Of Chestnut and Cham
bors street, in New York. One
day,with u knot Of brother typos,hc
dropped in at an establishment
kept by Mallory, on franklin
street, for the purpose Of taking
some brandy and water, which
Mallory was famous for keeping.
Tho liqnor was excellent, and
Woodwork seemed inspired by it;
for, after taking d draught, he set
his glass upon the table and smack
ing his lips declared that Mallory's
eau dc rie was superior to anything
he ever tasted. y
@No,7 said'a comradc, "you arc
quite mistaken; there was one
thing which, in both our cstima-
tons, far surpassed this in the way
of drinking"
"What was that?" asked Wood
worth obviously.
"The draught of pure, fresh
spring water that We used to drink
from the old oakcn bucket that
hung in tho well after our return
from the labor Of tho field, on n sui
try day in summer" The tcardrop
glistcncd for a moment in Wood
worth's eye. "Truc truc~ he re-
piled, and soon after Quilted the
place. lTc returned to the Office,
grasped the pen, and in half an
hour "Thc Old Oaken Bucket" one
of the most delightful compost
tons in the English language, was
ready, on manuscript, to be en-
balmed in the memories Of sue
ceeding generations s."-Bo'ton Her.

d Professors fon'd!,ce.

A curious though sad story Of q
man who said that he was once q
professor at Iiarytrd, and who i:
driving 4 team on the Erie Canal
has rccontly come to light by the
return ofthc man to some friends
in New York with whom he lived
n few months last spring. Profcs'
sor Brown, for that was the name
he gave, was employed by Dr.
George II. Mitchell, OF No. 20G East
Thirteenth street, with whose fami.
ly he took his meals. He was
about thirty-tivc years old, but look
cd much older. To the few init
mate friends. whom he made while
he was in New York he told n sim
gular story of how he had been
educated at Harvard, had become
a tutor and at his graduation an
assistant professor of chemistry in
the college, and how some trouble
with lady had plunged him in
despondcncy and had caused him
To sever his connections with the
college, and had alienatcd him
from his family. He was regarded
as a brilliant scholar. Leaving
Massachusetts, he taught for a
short time in u New Jersey acadc-
my, and afterwards came to New
York. lie was.courteous, free from
any bad habits, and remarkably
intelligent. His face, however, was
very careworn, and he acted as
though some groat trouble had af-
fectcd his mind. After remaining
with DR.. Mitchell four months, he
suddenly disappeared, having at
tho tilno only u few dollars. lie
loft a line telling his friends not to
be uneasy about him. Several
weeks ago hc unexpectedly called
to tell them that he was happy bo-
cause he was earning s15 a month
and his board and lodging by driv-
ing a team on the canal. He re-
mained with his friends, by whom
he was always respected, and re-
turned to his canal boat for the
season, as he said.

Saring for OLD IiDe.

No one denies that it is wise to
make aprovision for..old age, but We
are not ali agreed as to the kind Of
provision it is best to lay i'll. Ger

sorry sight. Yes, save money, by
all means. But M old man needs
just that particular kind of

Extraordinary Dustcr

A day or two ago mothcrly-
looking woman of forty-fve en-
tered u Woodward avenue clothing
store having u mans linen duster
on her arm, and when approached
By a salesman she said:
"Some one i'll here sold this dus-
tor to my son yesterday"
"l'cs, mann, I sold it myself"
replied the clerk, Us he looked at
the garment.
"Did you tell my son that this
dustcr could be worn either to a
picnic, funeral, bridal party or
quarterly mecting?"
n did, madam, and so it can
"Did youtc him it made good
Ay-blanket when not otherwise

II did,
"That it could be used as n boat
sail, a strctcl,cr, II straw bed and Il
bed-sprcad?' GA. !.
"Ycs, ma'am, l did"
"And that many people used
them rs table-coyers?"
IL did"
"And that they would last for
years and then make excellent stuff
for rag carpet?"
"I'did."
"And you only charge dollar?''
"Only ono dollar, nra'am."
Well, when John came homo
last night and brought the duster,
and told INC all you said, l made
up my mind that he must have
boen drunk, and ! was lcetle
afraid he stole the garment. ! am
glad it's all right"

IN 4i,iisi,,g Incident

a rather amusing incident is
told Us having occurred recently at
i village church in Connecticut,
not many miles from Fairfield,
The Clergyman, II would appear,
desired to call the attention Of his
congregation TO tho fact that it being
tho last Sunday Of tho month he
administer tho right Of baptism to
children. Previous to his having
entered tho pulpit, he had received
from ono of his elders, who, blythe,
way, was quito deaf, n notice to the
effect thnt US tho chillrcn''would be
present that evening, and he had
the now Sunday School books
ready for distribution, hc would
have them there to sell to all who
desired them. After tho sermon,
the clergyman began tho notice Of
baptismal service thus: "All Of
those having children nni desiring
to have them baptized will bring
them here this afternoon" At this
point the deaf elder, hearing tho
mention of children, supposed il
was something in reference to his
books, and rising said: "All oi

On Sleeping.

Scamcn and soldiers from habit
sleep when they will and wake
up ut will. Captain Barkley, When
performing his wonderful feat of
walking 1000 miles in as many
consecutive hours, obtained such
4 mastery over himself that no fell
asleep the minute he lay down.
The faculty of rcmaing asleep for
a length of time is possessed by
some individuals. Such was tho
case with Quinn, the celebrated
player, who would slumber for
twonty -four hours successfully;
with Elizabeth Orvin, who slept
three-fourths Of her life; with
Elizabeth Perkins, who slept for IL
week or u fortnight at a time; with
Mary Lydell, who did tho Sumo for
successive weeks, and with many
others moro or less remarkable.
A phenomena, Of an opposite
character is sometimes observed,
for there are other individuals who
can subsist on n surprisingly small
portion of sleep. The celebrated
General Elliot was IN instance of
this kind; he never slept more
than four hours of tho twenty-four.
In other respects he was strikingly
abstinent, his food consisting
wholly Of bread, water and .vegc.
tables. In n letter communicated
to Sir John Sinclair by John Cor.
don, ofswine, mention is made of
a person named John Macky, of
Sherry, who died in strahnavc, in
the year 1887, aged ninety-onc; ho
only slept on an average four hours
in the twcnty.four, and was re-
markably robust and healthy man.
Frcdrick the Great OF Prussia, and
the illustrious surgeon, John Hun
ter, only slept five hours during
the same period. Tho celebrated
French General, Pichcgro inform.
cd. Sir Gilbert Blaine that during
a whole years campaign he had
not allowed himself above ono
hours sleep in twenty-four.

In the Eagle OF yesterday 1t was announced
that four officers had gone To the scene of the
death Of the old man kaber. about fifteen m lies
from Lebanon. in a lonely andssecluded part OF
Lebanon County. near the Swatara Gap Blue
Mountains. Raber had neither family nor near
relatives. and at one time number OF acquain-
tances who lived in that forest country had

Of 10000; but the policy holders were unable

The strange surroundings connected with
this death. together with the fact that the old
man was so heavily insured In favor OF simple
acquaintances, set the officers OF several OF the

were held on the old mans life 10 thinking Sc
riOusly OF the possibilities OF murder because
At that time the Hunter tragedy was the topic

Detectives were accordingly sent out 10 that

there was mania Tor insurance speculation.
