How He Told the Time.

A good story, told at the expense OF a we'll
known ex-judge, is going the rounds of the
lawyers offices, and it 10 heartily appreciated
by those who best know the irascible but good
hearted disposition of the old gentleman. 1t
was an admiralty case, where he is most at
home. The disposition of a sailor, who was
soon to die, had to be taken at his bedside in
Brooklyn one day last week. "How long"
the ex-iudge snapped out, as the first question
on cross-examination, "do you think it was
after the vessel left the wharf before the col
lision occurred?"
The sailor was himself some thing of char
acter, and not so near death but that he appre-
ciated the vital importance of "getting back
on" a cross-examining lawyer
"Wall, he drawled out, "bout ten minutes
1 sd judge"
''Ten minutesl Ten minutesr' exclaimed the
lawyer, jumping up. "Man, how long do you
think ten minutes to be?"
''Jest bout ten minutes, was the unruffied
reply.
''How do you generally measure ten min.
utes?" persisted the lawyer.
The old sailor turned slowly in bed and eyed
his questioner. Then he turned back again
and said indifferently: WAL, sometimes wild
a watch and sometimes wild claack.o
This made the judge little mad He jerked
his watch from his pocket and said in a queru-
lous, high pitched voice: ooh, you do, do
you? Well, I'll tell you when to begin, and
you tell me when ten minutes are up"
The sailor slyly winked at the lawyer on the
other side, and he took IN the situation in an
instant and made no objection. The ex.judge
stood with his back to mantle on which
little clock was quietly indicating the time to
the sailor, who lay facing it,
"Aye, aye,' the sailor said, and remained 81
lent.
After three minutes had passed the ex-judge
became impatient and exclaimed, "See here,
the sailor made no answer. As Eve and six

The Origin of "Ta-Ta."


For several years American photographers
have been using this old Southern expression,
sta-ta." as term of humorous farewell thus
giving it a meaning entirely different from
that it started cut in life with; and how it ever
came to be applied in that way is a little sur
prising to any one to the Southern manner
born" and especially to any one familiar with
the idioms of the South of ante-bellum days.
Noone who was ever petted, lovedand spoiled
by kind old black NANNY can ever forget
that 'ta-ta," in baby dialect, is thank you;'
or, to give an exact definition from our unwrit-
ten vocabulary, "thanky." They can never
forget mammys coaxingly reproving tones.
nor her "eurchy," when, in correcting some
childish forgetfulness, the omission OF thanks
for some slight favor, the gift OF an apple or
perhaps stalk of sugar-cane, she would say,
Honey, where's yo' manners? Whyn't yo
say 'ta-ta?'" For a more valuable present
her words would have been, Tell the lady
you're much obleeged," or 'soblged" if she
happened to be little careful IN her pronun-
citation, as many house-servants We're; but for
all trit1ng gifts "ta-ta'' was the popular term
for the very little folks. OF course, as the
children grew lai ger this pet way of express
sing thanks laid aside with their baby
clothes; and the "curchy" that nanny had
taught them-a funny substitute for bow,
consisting only III sudden bending of the
knees which caused comical dip down and
uls-was put away with the jlngllng rhymes of
early childhood.
Ia-ta'' belongs exclusively to the little
ones; IL is as peculiarly their own as 'catty
cats and this little pig went to market and
all those other wonderful things belonging to
child life. To the great world 'ta-ta" is moth
ing but ludlcrous expression; but to many of

BORMUS.
by ELL1cE HOPKINS.

Down from the lifted cornfeld trips
Tn, child with ripe red-berried fps,
The radiant mountain boy with ewes
R,ne AZ wet sentians in the shade.
His golden hair all wei with heat,
INN as the meadow gold new laid;
And as a fusset tir-cone brown,
An earthen pitcher gaily swings
Upon his little shoulder borne,
Water TO fetch from sunless springs;
And while the Il lwers his bare feet brush,
Loud sings he like mountain thrush.
All. cornfiowers blue and peoples red,
Weep, for our little Love is dead.
By paths that through sweet hay new mown,
Like hillside brooks come leaping down,
Past silver slabs of morning. where
The wet crags fash the suDligft baok,
Past the warm runnels in the grass,
Whose course the purple orchids track,
And doWn the shining upland slopes,
And herby dells all dark with pine,
Inoarnate gisdness, leaps the child,
Still singing like bird divine;
His little patteriDg, sunburnt feet
With bruised meadow spikenard sweet.
All. oornflowers blue and peoples red l\
Weep, for our little Love is dead. "
Too soon, alb me- too bitter soon
He reached the dell unsunned at noon,
Where in long flutes the water falls
Into deep and glimmering pool
And struck from out the drip ing rocks
The silver water sparks all cool,
Spsngle the CHILLY cavern dark,
Anu clear-cu; ferns green fringe the gloom,
And with cont .uous sound the air
Trembles and an the still Perfume
Here "a G the child for water chill,
The sultry reapers' thirst TO still.

Were never SC rching heats may come,
Nor even intr tempes. roar;
No the SHARP III of envi 'us age

An boa gr w sad mil waitul men;
ut ia 10y death less sprrngtine stay,
Made one th our eternal joy,
Forever an immortal boy"
Al, eornfowers blue and peoples red,
Weep, for ourlittie Love is dead.
He dipped his pitcher DER the brink;
About il dimpling sunlights wink,
The smooth rill fills Us darkling throat
With hollow trim lings, mounting shrill
And smile TO its thi stv liz;
Bul sweete wilder, loueer still

Aud brckon him and raw hi down
The ol-arm d, silver wrsted nym ehs,
His wa m ps WI h cold 81 ses crown;
And their chilly bose IS pl est,
He sink away Ia endless rest.
Al. eornf0wers blue aud peoples red,
Weep for our little Love is dead
Bu siiil in The warm twilight owes,
Tn 4ding the lone, moon silvered sheaves,
o where IN fragrant, dusky heaps,
The 'iim-seen hay cool scents emits,
The boy aero the darker ing hills,
Be z his little pitcher, fits
VITA feet thai light as snowfakes fall.
Nor pa sing stir he feNlhered grass;
And sings song 10 man may ow,
ct OLD, forgotten things hat PISS,
And love that endeth IN sigh,
and beauty only born 10 die.
Blue cdrnfowefs weep, red peoples sigh,
For all We love must ever die.
