The TELEGRAPH ABRoAD.-In Switzer-
land, if one wishes to send o telegraph
message, he must pay 9 cents to begin
with, and then for one-half cent word,
he can send a message to any part of the
country. For instance. one can send q
message of 500 words from Geneva to
Constance distance of nearly 200 miles
for 80 So. Or, if message OF 10 words
will suffice, it will cost only II cents.
Yet, even at those low rates, the net pro-
fits of the Swiss telegraph department
last year were about 500, 900. The Eng
lish Government, when it took over the
private telegraph companies and made
them an adjunct of the Post Office de-
partment, paid liberal and in many cases
extravagant prices to the companies. But
one may now send message Of twenty
words to any point in the United King
dom for l shilling-M cents-and the
postal telegraph is making money for the
government. Why should not telegraph
ing be ~ cheap in the United States - in
switzerland or Great Britain?

The BeachcOmDers OF the Fat fic

OF stories about beachcombers there is
positively no end. Perhaps one of the
best is that of Paunchy Billy of Samoa,
who was born in the same village as John
Paul Jones. and who was in the habit of
declaring, "Sir, wouldn't go back to
Britain now if you was to give me q

how when Commodore Wilkes exploring

in savage mats, and begged the Captain
to take him away. 81 don't want any

1t was not far to the tobacco field, and
in an incredibly short time brother } ohm
came riding in followed by half a dozen
stout negroes. With some delightful
play that gave one quite an idea of
Spanish bull fight, his lordship was cap
tured, and our little doctor was assisted
to the house.
Gone was the glory of DR.. Trattles

his hands scratched, and he looked

she asked him if he would not like to

leaving him to Mabel, l fled with
brother John to the smokehouse, where
we-roared.
Uncle Brimmer got well, and went in
to see the doctor. He returned with a
new cravat, cane, and several smart
articles of attire, from which we infer
that in those trying moments, when he
supported the suspended doctor, that
little gentleman had offered many in
ducements for him to hold fast. When
questioned, he responded, chiefly with a
cavernous and mysterious smile, only
saying:
"Master DIR. Jex is a gentleman; starch
in or starch out, he's de gentleman

And brother John, who is somewhat
acquainted with slang, said, with great
laugh, well, old man, you had bully

lustrate that scene with the spirited vigor
that only his dancing pencil gives.
1t was in Kentucky that it happened
that pleasant land of bluegrass and to-

girls. Mabel, my sister. had married
Dick Huckleston, and they had begun
life in great contentment in little three

hold the bridal presents. But they

They had two cows, ice-cream every
day, charming baby and Uncle Brim-
mer. Who shall say their cup was not
full? Indeed they thought it was full
before Uncle Brimmer added himself
thereto-a very pOnderous rose leaf. He
WAS one of our family servants, who
fondly believed that Miss Mabel and her
young husband could never get along
without him. He walked all the way
from Mississippi to Kentucky, with his
things tied up in small sack, and pre-
sented himself before Mabel, announcing
affably that he had come to ''stay on"

MANS MORTALITY.

Like damask rose you see,
Or like a blossom on tree,
Or like the dainty flowers in May,
Or like the morning to the day,
Or like the sun, or like the shade,
Or like the gourd which Jonah had,
Even such is man, whose thread it spun,
Drawn out and out and so is done.
The rose withers, the blossom blasteth,
The flower fades, the morning hasteth,
The sun sets, the shadow flies,
The gourd consumes, the mamie dies.
Like the grass that's newly sprung,
Or like the tale that's new begun,
Or like the bird that's here to-day,
Or like the pearled dew in May,
Or like the singing of the swan
Even such is man, who lives by breath,
Is here, now there in life and death.
The grass withers, the tale is ended,
The bird is flown, the dews assembled.
The hour is short, the span not long,
The swans near death-man's life is done
Like the bubble in the brook,
Or like glass, or like a look,
Or like the shuttle in a weavers hand,
Or like the writing on the sand,
Or like thought or dream,
Or like gliding of the stream.
Even such man. who lives by breath,
Is here, now there, in life or death.
The bubbles out, the brook forgot,
The shuttle's dung. the writing blot,
The thought is past, the dream is gone,
The waters glide-man's work is done.
Like an arrow from the bow,
Or like swift course of water flow,
Or like that time 'twiXt food and ebb,
Or like the spiders tender web,
Or like race or like goal,
Or like the dealing of a dole,
Even such is man, whose brittle state
Is always subject unto fate.
The arrow shot, the food soon spent,
The time no time. the web soon rent,
The dole soon dealt-man's life is done.
Like to the lightning in the sky,
Or like post that quick doth hie,
Or like culver in song,
Or like journey three days long,
Or like snow when summers gone.
Or like pear, or like plum,
Even such is man, who heaps up sorrow,
Lives but to-day, and dies tomorrow,
The lghtnings past, the post must go,
The song is short, the journey so,
The pear doth rot, the plum doth fall,
The snow dissolves, and so must all.
