A RRONzED SEAMAN;

A few days ago, says the N. Y. World, a
man with a bronzed face and the dress of a
petty officer on shipboard, carrying, partly
concealed beneath the skirt Of his Jacket, a
good sized package, peered into the Office Of
q. s. Commissioner Shields and lodged back
into the hall.
The commissioner called oht, " Do you
want to see meY Come in"
The man thereupon entered the office and
in whisper asked Mr.. Shields If he would
not like 10 buy a silk dress pattern or broche
shawl very cheap.
How can you afford to sell so lowP" ask
ed the commissioner.
"Well, the fact is," said the man in low
tone, " don't mind telling you. follow
the sea- and bring over few articles with
me on every trip, just to speculate on.
90" said Commissioner Shields, " then
you smuggled them. Is that itP"
The bronzed stranger winked. The com.
missioner said he thought Mr.. Drummond
on the floor above, might like to buy shawl,
anu 10 the uoor above the bronzed person
went.
Special Agent Drummond, Of the Treasury
department,examned the mans stock, which
was of inferior quality, yet calculated to de-
ceive persons knowing little of such fabrics,
and when the bronzed person intimated that
it was smuggled, Mr.. Drummond said
-" My good man, Pm a revenue officer and
shall haye to put you under arrest"
The bronzed man turned yellowish green,
and said he had been lying.
You'll have to show the bills for this
stuff" said Drummond.
He produced the bills, which were from
chesR East-side store, and as it is not an
ofense against the custom laws to lie about
domestic manufactures, he was let go.

LOVE LETTER.

Mt love-my ohosen--but not mine, send
MY whole heart to thee in the words l

So let the blotted lines, my souls sole friend,
Lie upon thine, and there be blest at

Light, music, odor, beauty, love Itself

Those daily needs which deal with dust

And 1 had been content without one thought
Our guardian angels could have blushed
to know,
Save to have lived and died, demanding
naught
Save, living, dying, to have loved you SO.
My widest wish was vassel to thy WILL
My haughtlest hope pensioner on thy
smile,
Which did with light my barren being ill,
AS moonlight glorIfes some desert Isle.
Perchance shall not ever see again
That face. 1 know that l shall never see
Its radient beauty as saw 1t then,
Save by this lonely lamp of memory.

And eyes like woodland violets newly wet
And lips that left their meaning in my

Man cannot make, but may ennoble, fate
BY nobly bearing it. So let us trust
Not to ourselves, but God, and calmly wait
Loves orient out of darkness and of dust.
Farewell, and yet again fareTellI and yet
Never farewell-if farewell meant to fare
Alone and disunjted. Love hath set
Our days, in music, to the selfsame air:
And shall feel, wherever we may be,
Even tho in absence and an allen cline,
The shadow OF the sunniness in thee,
Hoverlng in patience, through clouded

To Illuminate the mountain peaks. Good

The Gain OF Loss.

The following circumstances actually oc-
cured in Dublin short time back. Mr..
L. was much attached to Miss c.,
the young, beautiful, and accomplished
heiress tn property of some $4,000 per
annum but, being himself lord OF no other
earthly possessions than talents ana good
looks, be "nevor told his love-" fearful not
only of a refusal oil the part of the lady to
reciprocate the sentiment, but of the probable
imputation of mercenary motives by her
friends. Miss c., however, had suf1i-
cient penetration TO discover the genuine
and disinterested affection Of the swain, and
the highly praseworthy sehstiSeness
which caused him TO shrink from his avow-
al. She was by no means indisposed to en-
courage his suit, but the CONSCIOUSNESS OF
his comparative poverty rendered more than
the ordinary encouragement given by lady
to her suitor necessary to stimulate his
courage to PROFOUND the decisive inquiry.
How was she, then, to give expression to her
sentiments regarding him, without at the
same time oversteppng the bonds of"mad-
en- modesty." She proposed game of cards.
"For what stake shall we pay2" asked
Mr.. L..
"There's my stake" said the lady throw
ing down a sovereign "if you win, you win
tiff win, win yourSeU am aware
have no chance of winning, though, against
SO expert player as you"
Mr.. l. was, indeed, about the best
player in Dublin, while his fair antagonist
knew little or nothing of the game. Strange
to say, however, on this occasion his luck
deserted him. The poor gentleman was SO
unfortunate as to loose both the game and
himself-a,id toon the heiress Their mar
riage was celebrated at st. Peters two

Why ?-lt was a Boston girl who asked /:
"Why is it that two souls, mated in the i'm
penetratable mystery of their nativity, Aoat
by each other on the ocean currents OF ex-
istsnce without being instinctively drawn
together, blended and beautifed in the ASST
inflated alembic Of eternal love ?" That is
an easy one. It is because butter is thirty
Ave cents pound and a sealskin sacque
costs as high as 5000. The necessaries of
life must experience a fall in price before
two souls will blend in the assimilated
alembic, and so forth.

Interest on Government Bonds.

One of the few things, it might be supposed, that people would not neglect or forget would be that they have money or that interest is due them. But many people do neglect and forget it, as is shown by the fact that there is now in the national treasury near $1, 500, 900 of un- claimed interest on Government bonds, and the sum is increasing every day. This large amount, or most of it, may be drawn at any time by the proper per sons, on application at the department. But they do not apply, one reason be- ing, no doubt, that @ number of persons who have bought bonds do not know how to get the interest, and prefer going without it rather than reveal, by asking for information, the fact that they pos sess any such property. The disposition to conceal ownership in money, not only from the general public, but from ac- quaintances and evenintimates, is very common trait, and one that may be found In all classes of the community. Rich men are so extremely anxious and sensitive on the subject that they can seldom be induced to tell anybody what they are worth. They may be willing enough to have big sum inferred, but they will seldom make any disclosure themselves. Many creditors of the Gov ernment actually lose remembrance of the circumstance, and there is no one to remind them of it. Should any of the clerks in the bond department inform any person to whom interest is due that it is due, and the information should be traced to him, he would be promptly discharged, the assumption being that he would not, probably. impart such intelligence unless paid something there for. Receiving a commission or per- centage under such circumstances is very properl y forbidden by the Govern ment, and any communication from a clerk to 8 creditor, in respect to interest due, would ordinarily excite suspicion. The United States does not, any more than other nations, volunteer informa- tion concerning it's debts, and it seems to be averse to it's servants making up for it's deficiency.

A Little Child's Death.
"Thore is reaper whose name is Deat

"Thore is reaper whose name is Death
 No parents ever think they can spare a child, no matter how many there may be in the family, nor what the age ol the dead one may have been, for the reason that each child has established It's own claim to their affections through some personal trait, either in its appearance or character.
 It is a lovely trait in human nature that parents appreciate the child which death has taken away from them above all others that may be left to them. The knowledge that all their fond hopes concerning the last child can never be realized makes all those hopes stand out the brighter, and renders the twi- light of the child's dead existence far more splendid to the imagination than the broad day of its living life.
 The surviving children are connected with every day life and it's antics, but the silken- haired one has passed away in it's dawn, and torn from the heart the hopes of what it might have been. An! the deep grief and anguish of part ing with that fair little face that was our own to break off all the delight full ties of prattling..tenderness that had so closely woven themselves around our hearts to give the tender little form that was so fair and beautiful to the reaper forever to look upon it's sweet face, soft cheeks and hands, and closed eyes lying SO still, cold and marble like in its coffin. A sorrow like this cannot be quenched, but will creep into the heart and melt us into tears like weep ing children, and dispel the sterner feelings from our breast.
 The image of the lit tie dead child lives always before us, in unchanging beauty and innocence. In memory we ever see it walking as before, and again hear the gladsome laughter, and long to fol- low after, that we may enjoy its pleas ure. There is something holy in a little child, so that when God sends it from us our whole mental fabric is shattered. Death is Love's twin brother, who, with kiss upon lips that are fading, carries the soul of the dead one back to its Giver. At such loss it is good to crystalize hope into a faith that

A Snake Chase.

Washington Bradford, of Americus, Ga., was chased recently by horned snake as he was returning from school. The reptile took its tail in it's mouth and went rolling hoop fashion after Brad ford. The race was long one, and to add to his danger coiled moccasin lay right in his path. The snake had head erect, its eyes glistening, while its forked tongue played with lightning rapidity from its open mouth. He was going with such speed that he could not stop, but, exerting himself, he made a tremendous spring, and jumped high in the air and landed about fourteen feet over the moccasin, and, running little further on, stopped to see what the two reptiles would do. He then found him. self good pole, advanced upon the moccasin and killed it, but could find nothing of the hoped, horned serpent that had chased him so far.
