WISE WORDS.

We must have weak spot or two in
character before we can love it much
The beggar is the only man in the uni
verse who is not obliged to study appear
ances.
That each thing, both in small and in
great, fulfAeth the task which destiny has
set down.
Good taste rejects excessive nicety; it
treats little things as little things, and is
not hurt by them.
Be at least as polite to father, mother,
child. as to others; for they are more i'm
portant to you than any other. a
Treat everybody with politeness, even
those who are rude to you. For remem-
Der that you show courtesy to others, not
because they are gentlemen, but because
you are one.
Young man, don't forget that all the
people are watching you, and most of
them are more ready to charge your
account with something bad than some
thing good.
Never pronounce man to be willfui
niggard until you have seen the contents
OF his purse. Distribution, you must re-
member, should be in accordance with
the receipts.
The hours we pass with happy pros
poets in view are more pleasing than
those crowned with fruition. In the first
instance, wecook the dish to our own APP
petite; in the latter, nature cooks it for
us.
1t is not question as to whether any
man may or may not have objects of
beauty; it is not required that any man
should make himself hermit in the
desert. A man has right to wealth and
all that it produces, but no man has a
right to hold them selfshly and shut
others out from their enjoyment.

Saved by an AlbatrOss.

The Sidney (Australia) Telegraph says:
A singular story has been related to us by
the master of the bark Gladstone, which
arrived there from London. While the
vessel was in latitude forty-two degrees
south and longitude ninety degrees east,
seaman fell overheard from the star
board gangway. The bark was scudding
along with a rough sea and moderate
wind, but on the alarm of "man over
board being given, she was rounded to
and the starboard lifeboat was lowered,
manned by the chief officer and four
men. A search for the unfortunate man
was made, but owing to the roughness of
the sea he could not be discovered but
the boat steered to the spot where he was
last seen. Here they found him floating
but exhausted, clinging for dear life to
the legs and wings of huge albatross.
The bird had swooped down on the man
while the latter was struggling with the
waves and attempted to peck him with
its powerful beak. Twice the bird at.
tackled its prey unsuccessfully, being
beaten off by the desperate sailor battling
with two enemies-the water and the al
batross-both greedy and Unsuitable.
For the third time the huge white form
of the bird hovered over the seaman, pre-
paratory to final sw3op. The bird, eager
for its meal, famed its victim with its
widespread wings.
Suddenly a thought occurred to him
that the huge form so close to his face
might become his involuntary rescuer.
Quick as thought he reached up and
seized the bird, which he proceeded to
strangle with all his might. The huge
creature struggled with wings and pad
dies to free itself In the contest the
sailor was beaten black and blue and
cruelty lacerated, but he held his own,
and slowly the bird quiyered and died
The carcass foated lightly on the waves,
its feathers forming a comfortable sup
port for the exhausted man, who had so
narrowly escaped a lingering death. But
another danger awaited him. He was
not much of a swimmer, and the excite
ment of the extraordinary conflict began
to tell upon him. He was faint and grew
giddy. But with one arm around the
albatross' body, under the wing, and one
hand clutching the birds feet, the sailor
awaited his chance of rescue. Presently
he heard his comrades shout from the
boat, and in few minutes more was safe
on board the bark. though a good deal
shaken and exhausted.

Total abstinence, even for boys, was
a thing unknowl~ in England early in
this century.
Savon, the French word for soap, is
ascribed' to Savona, the place at sshich it
was first manufactured.
Among the Goths, Iberians and Moors
the licking of the thumb was regarded
as a solemn pledge or promise.
The pearls and emeralds worn by Cali
gula's wife were worth 81 600, 600, but
she was not usually attended by private
detectives.
1t was formerly customary in England
for the sick to wear a kerchief on the
head, and certain virtue was attached
to the custom so that in Cheshire tying a
kerchief on the head and drinking pos
set was a remedy for everything.
The Musurgia, printed in 1850, tells
of speaking trumpet invented by one
Kacher, who read litany from convent
on the top of mountain standing at the
foot of it two Italian miles off. This is
the first telephone of which there is any
account.
The earliest statute against the en-
ployment of playing cards bears date in
the reign of Henry VIII, and is entitled,
can act for the maintenance of artillery
and the debarring of unlawful games. j
In fact, it is implyintended to encourage
archery.
North America was called Mexicana in
an English almanac published in 1747,
and South America, Peruviana. The
provinces of Mexicana were New Spain,
Florida, New Albany, New England New
Franco, or Canada. The islands were
Newfoundland and California.
The captain of coal steamer, which
loaded at Cardiff, Wales, missed his dog,
and sailed in grief without him. When
thirty-one days later, his cargo was dis
charged at Constantinople, the spaniel
was found in little cavity among the
coal, where he had survived his long
fast. Though too weak to stand, hC
was restored in a few days by careful
feeding upon small quantities of bread
and milk, repeated at short intervals.

Beautiful HarbOr.

One grand picture gallery Sydney pos
sesses and sufficiently enjoys-its harbor.
Let none who values his place in any
Australian heart murmer that he never
heard of Sydney harbor, or hint that it
has any equal in the world. When | first
sailed on it gentleman gravely assured
me that, with all its sinuosities, this
harbor, had a waterfront of 2, 800 miles
Deduct about two thousand and you will
be nearer the fact. Deduct proportion
ate amount of enthusiasm and you still
have the sober truth that this harbor,
with its green promontories and islets,
its bays and hooks and beaches, studded
with shining villas, is of beauty that
never wearies the eye. AS, during many
months of the year, fair weather may be
counted on, there are many picnics on
the wooded shores and so much room
that none need jostle each other. On
Sundays there are many excursionists,
but little bathing, the sharks being a
sufficient police force to keep all bathing
inside the palings and hoses provided at
various spots, with scrupulous separation
of sexes. M ID. CoR0ay.

ion reused the compassion of Josephine,
and she began to talk to him with des-
perate cheerfulness and acceptance of the
situation.
"fWhat a cold-blooded little villain
that brother of yours must be, Miss Vail,
TO desert you in this fashion. suppose
we must throw ourselves on his mercy
when he comes back. How are you
going to account for met Consider me
your man Friday"
Beneath their light talk ran an under
current of more or less bitter meditation
on the part of each. Miss Vail shuddered
to think what good story this would
make to circulate among her friends,
while Adams foresaw how it would add
to the conviviality of the club. He began
with the fervent wish that he was out of
the scrape. He ended, am glad to con-
fess, by ceasing to envy Robinson Crusoe
his desert isle, and considering his own
far preferable. There was a breeziness
about this girl that made him forget the
mounting thermometer. She had a way
of going to the point, and, moreover she
had a point, two things which Ben
Adams told his sister he appreciated in a
woman.
In short, by dint of making the best
of it, Miss Vail and Adams were both
able to express honest surprise when a
boat appeared in the distance, and in
taking out his watch, Adams found it to
be o'clock.
"Nowl" was all Josephine said, but
there were conflicting emotions in the
monosyllable.
"Hullo-ol" shouted shrill voice
across the water.
Hullo-oln called Adams back.
Blank astonishment wiped all express
sion out of Toms face at first, hut a
broad grin finally made its appearance.
"You're great one, 10, he muttered.
"I'd like to know where you wouldn't
find beau. Did he drop down out of
the cloudsG"
"Hush, sir; you have been very
naughty boy"
AS they rowed home Adams devoted
himself to cultivating the acquaintance
Of the young scapegrace. The latter
proved very approachable, and Adams
found no difficulty in persuading him to
go fishing the next day.
When they were home at last, jose
phine took her brother into her room and
turned the key.
"Tom, you've treated me very badly
to-day. What would you give if would
not tell father2 You wouldn' like to be
sent back to the military school, you
know"
'Say, sis, I'll tell you what" and the
little wretch gave wink of immense sat
isfaction; 'if you won't tell on me, 1

Hope and the sun are like as one
Both largest when they rise;
They shrink alike from morn till noon,
As life grows old and wise.
With what unbounded hope the boy
Begins his world-careerl
How wondrous large and bright with JOY
Do rising suns appeor
But as the sun grows less and less,
And paler as they climb
The vacant sky, 80 we confess
The cold decelts Of time.
Our boyhood hopes will shrink and fade
AS boyhood drifts away,
And one by one 10 rest are laid
The failures Of the day.
And yet the sun at noon that turns
It's downward course will grow and grow
Till in the west IL rolls and burns.
As large as half a day ago.
So, as we hear that other sphere,
The early hope revives,
That all we thought was ours here
May be, In other lives

A HEAVILY LOADED EXCURSION
TRAIN DAsHEs INTO A REG.
ULAR.

DOVER, N. H., Sept. 30-A serious smash
up occurred on the Eastern Railroad at South
Berwick station this forenoon caused by GRE.
lessness of an employee. The regular train for
Boston, Conductor Colboth. at South Berwick
at 1905 a. M, aid not arrive until 1913. Be-
hind them on the same track was the annual
hay seed excursion train from country towns
north of Rochester in charge OF Conductor
Jefferson The regular train had stopped
while baggage was being put on when Engin-
eer Franklin who was looking back waiting
for the signal to start saw the excursion train
about 300 yards away coming around curve at
full speed and he jumped to his engine and
put on full steam to get out of the way, but
the coupling on the third car from the rear
parted at the sudden STRAIN and left behind
two cars which had but just begun to move.
The coming train consisted of Il cars hacked
full of people, drawn by two locomotives. The
engineer Of the forward engine put on the
brakes, but it was of no avail and the train
bore down on the two cars almost at full speed.
The two engines and baggage car were thrown
from the track and the rear car of the other
train was badly smashed. The engineers stuck
to their engines and nobody was hurt except
ME- CuIueS OF Gfeat Falls who received
sprained ankle. The engineer and baggage
man on the excursion train were severely
shaken up. Both engines were knocked to-
gether and the front of each badly stove in.
The engine and baggage car of the forward
train went to Boston. Two wrecking trains
one from Wolfboro and one from Portsmouth
were soon on the spot and succeeded at four
o'clock in clearing the track of all but the
second engine. Twelve hundred people were
on the excursion train. The cause of the acct
dent was the neglect of Frank N. Chase. sta
ton agent at Salmon Falls to put out a blue
flag which is the signal that a train has been
gone but five minutes. He had telegram to
send to North Conway and hearing the Con

TO BE HANGED.
Mrs. Barrows and Oscar Blaney to
Pay the Penalty of Their Crime.
THEIR EXECUTION TO TAKE
PLACE IN DECEMBER, 1855.
Special to the Press.l

NopoSlhA w Iu0 TEShSD
ALFRED, Sept. 30.-Today the last solemn
act in connection with the trial of the Kittery
murderers-Mrs. Mary E. Barrows and Oscar
4. Blaney-was contaminated in the Supreme
Judicial court in this village.
The court room was fairly packed with peo-
pie. Prior to the appearance of the murderers
nine prisoners we're sentenced by Judge Virgin
Tor various criminal offences-Mary Breen,
Oliver Guertin, Joseph Lombard aud William
Todd being committed to Portland jail.
After these cases were disposed of the par
Elephants of the Kit:ery murder were ordered
to be brought into court. Blaney appeared
well dressed and, with the exception that his
face has grown paler, he presented the same
appearance as when he appeared for trial in
the January term of the Supreme Court at
Saco Mrs. Barrows was attired in dark
dress. She has become filled out in the face
since her last appearance in Court, and al
though not prepossessing then, she is less SO
now.
Attorney General Ceaves made brief ad-
dress, after which Mrs. Barrows was requested
to rise. Upon being asked, "Mary E. Bar
rows, have You anything to say why the SEN
tence of death shall not be awarded against
you?" Mrs. Barrows took hold OF the rail before
her and in slow tones, pausing between each
word, said, 81 am not guilty" 1 was con-
victed falsely by Blaney's testimony.
The court addressed the prisoner at the bar
and then imposed the sentence:
You stand convicted of the crime of murder
in the first degree 1t is therefore considered
by the court that, within the walls of our
State prison, situated in Thomaston, in the
county OF Knox, between the hours of II
o'clock in the forenoon and O'Clock in the
afternoon, of the third Friday of December,
in the year OF our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and eighty-hve, you be hanged By
the neck until you be dead; that you be- hence
removed to be confined in our said State prison
until such punishment be inflicted; and that
you stand committed until received to the
state prison in pursuance of this sentence.
Mrs, Barrows did not exhibit any emotion on
the sentence being given.
Attorney General Cleaves then moved that
sentence be awarded Oscar e. Blaney.
Clerk-Oscar E Blaney, stand up.
The prisoner rose.
Cierk-Oscar E. Blaney, have you anything
to say why the sentence of death shall not be
pronounced against you?
Oscar replied, without hesitation "No, SIR"
Blsney's sentence was the same as Mrs. Bar
rows, but upon receiving it he sat down with
out exhibiting any outside emotion. The pris-
oners will be removed to thu State prison bv
Warden Bean tomorrow.
