of the vessel. and when they were off
duty my pleasure was to listen to
their tales of the sea. What won

queer cities and strange people, OF
storms and calms, of dangers through
which they had passed, and then, too,
of their happy homes lar away, and
their longing to he once more sur

eager Iistner / was! And many and
many a time have |, with one or the
other of them, laid stretched out on
the deck, gazing upwards, shaping in
to familiar pictures the fantastic
clouds that floated overhead, while the
splashing of the waters on either side
sounded soft and pleasing to my
dreaming brain.
One day the first officer had just
come off watch, and as he stepped into
his cabin he found me already there.

some old-time daguerreotypes. This

All the rest of that day felt like

New York Fire Engines.

The New York Herald thus de-
scribes the movements of men and
horses connected with the fre-engines
of New York when an alarm of fire
has been struck: The engine stands in
the engine house ready for the road.
So does the tender. The horses are in
their stalls. The men are lounging
about or sleeping. The alarm strikes.
In twinkling all are at their posts.
BY curious contrivance the hammer
that strikes the warning gong sets in
operation a system of cords and levers
that unfasten the horses. The men
come down from their sleeping or sit
ting-rooms, not by stairways, but by
pole, to the lower floor. They are all
ready in a twinkling. And what of
the horses? They generally outstrip
the bipeds in responding to the call.
The hammer which releases them and
strikes the gong, sends them an alarm
they at once interpret. Standing or
lying, they are out at once and beside
the engine-pole There is no harness
ing, no adjusting of belly-bands and
squeezing of collars and fastening of
reins. The new swing harness used
in the department is a complete
caparison, which is suspended by an
ingenious apparatus above the spot
where the horses take their places.
Close the open collar with a snap, pull
a rope which lifts the suspending
apparatus, and they are equipped and
read, for the road. The door swings
open, every man is in his place and
away goes the engine.

All, silent wheel. the noisy brook is dry,
And quiet hours glide by
In this deep vale, where once the merry stream
Sang on through gloom and gleami
Only tue dove in some leaf shaded nest
Murmurs Of rest.
All, weary voyager, the closing day
Shines on that tranquil bay,
Where thy storm-beaten soulhas longed to be;
Wild blast ard angry sea
Touch not this favored shore, by summer blest,
A LONE of rest.
All, fevered heart, tho grass is green and deer
Where thou art laid asleep;
Kissed by soft winds, and washed Ivy gentle
showers,
Thoa hast thy crown of flowers;
Poor heart too long in this mad world oppre>t.
Take now thy rest.

The Music OF the Rain.
Falling, falling, on the house-tops.

Falling, falling, on the house-topss
With music quaint and rare,
Like the sound of human heart-throbs
On the silent mldni. ht air,
Or the tears of angels falling
When they w,cp with those who weep,
Or the lullaby of mothers
When they rock their babes to sloep.
Like the drowsy wine of poppies
With its weird, enchanting power,
Coming TO the weary listener
Like the dew to dropping flower;
Like calm sleep to those who suffer,
Or like tears TO those who mourn;
Like remembered words of loved ones
From our aching bosoms torn.
Strangely sweet, bewitching music,
All enthralled my senses lie,
As watch the mystic Future
With the shadowy Past 60 by,
While calm and holy quiet
Steals upon my heart and brain,
Then fall asleep. still listening
To the murmur Of the rain.
So, mayhap, some time hereafter
shall lay me down TO rest,
Overwearv, and shall listen
For the music loved bes';
When its gentle cadence falling
Through the midnight silence deep,
Softly soothes my troubled spirit,
While il lulls me into sleep.
When at last, my soul has fallen
Into sweetest, glad repose,
That on earth sunshine nor shadow
No awakening ever knows
Like the voice OF waiting angels,
Or the vesper bells in toll,
May the softly falling raindrops
Chant a requi IN for my soul.

CHILDREN'S COLUMN.
A Hiss Instead OF n Blow.

a Kiss Instead OF BLOW
Rev. Edgar Buckingham relates IN
the Springfield Republican this anec-
dote of Theodore Parker's days OF
school-teaching: "He had among his
scholars little witch Of boy, whom
no reproof and no persuasion could in
duce to keep himself in order. One
day, after his more than usually
troublesome conduct, Mr.. Parker re-
quired the little fellow TO stay after
school to be whipped. So the time had
come for this last resource of the ex-
hausted patience and skill of the
teacher. According to directions the
boy held out his hand for punishment,
and as he took it, Mr.. Parker said, he
looked down into the little face, and
boy looked so much like his little sis
ter whose conduct was all right, and
who had won Mr. Parker's love-he
stayed the rod, and stopped down and
kissed the innocent lips that were
ready to break forth into crying, and
sent the pupil home. 1t is probable
that he was worse boy after that !?
Somebody knows who this boy was !;
man, if living now. | wish we could
learn from him the effects upon his life
of that kiss of Mr.. Parker's"
"Roeky-a-by Baby I'm Nhe Tree Top"
After great wind-storm in Texas,
a storm that carried off the roofs of
houses, tore trees out of the ground,
and did a great deal of damage, some
men started out to see if anybody was
hurt. This is what one of them
tells:
1t was night, and quite dark in the
woods, when they heard cry. They
stopped to look about and listen. They
heard the cry again and then they
saw same dark thing up in tree.
It's panther" said one. "Stand
off | will shoot it,"
NO, STOP" said another; 'it is not
a panther. l will climb up and see
what it is"
Up he went; and what do you think
he found lodged in the tree? A cradle
with dear little baby in it.
The wind had blown down the
| baby's home 1t had carried off baby,
cradle and ALL The cradle was caught
by the branch of high tree. Then
the wind blew against it so hard
that the cradle was wedged in a crotch
of the tree. 1t was so fast that the
men had to saw away the boughs to
get it down. There was the dear
baby all safe and sound in its cradle
nest.

A pRovloENr ENG LlsHmAN.

An affable, though somewhat desc-
Gated, American was on his way, the
other day, to the city of Boston.
He had, with that thrifty forethought
Of his nation. secured lower berth,
and was medtating upon the wisdom
Of gathering his body behind the cur
tains when he was accosted by an
Englishman in tweed suit. The
Englishman was of an ample presence,
and had the air of one who had been
pastured on mutton chops all his life.
''fou Will excuse me-" said he of
the tweed suit, "but am l right in
supposing that you have the lower
berth!'
''You bet your lifc," replied the
other.
my sister," said the owner of the
tweed suit, ''has the upper berth,
which is deuced awkward, you know.
The fact u.s." added the Englishman,
with frank urbanity, ''it's unpleasant
for ladies' to climb up past man in
lower berth. Now, might l ask
you, sir, to do me the extreme favor
of occupying the upper berth and
permitting my sister to take your's!"
The request was scarcely preferred
when the American, with the gal
lantry of a genuine Yank, fastened
to assure his English acquaintance
that nothing could give him more
pleasure than to he of service to 4
lady.
On the following morning the
American was astonished to see q
pair of tweed legs emerge from
lower berth opposite that which he
had politely given up, and the next
moment the adipose upper extremi-
ties of the Englishman.
"Say," said the American, as nh
air Of grave disgust began to creep
over his astonished physiognomy,
didn't you ask me to give up my
lower berth to your sister?''
Certainly, my dear fellow" re-
piled the gentleman addressed,
''hope you slept well!"
And you had a lower berth!"
"Of course"
And then you got me to give up
mime to your sister, sir!"
"Why, my dear fellow" said the
Englishmar, in his turn, "you didn't
expect Id gave up lower berth to
my own sister. did you:'' -Ioronto
