Nancy was his Choice.
Ben: Perley Poore.l


Daniel S. Dickinson, when in the
Senate was requested by the Postmaster
General to call at the department., and
give an opinion on the relative slaims
of several applicants for appoint
ment as postmaster of an office near
his home residence. The request
was promptly complied with, and
the documents were duly inspected,
not without some perplexity in the
mind of the senator; for two of his
personal and political friends, both
highly respectable and competent men,
were, as appeared from the papels, about
meek and neck" in the race fo1 office,
SO far as influential signatures on either
side could make them so. But suddenly
a light dawned upon the senator. A
neatly written note in a lady's hand
writing came to view applying for the
Office in her own behalf. and giving but
a single name as reference, and that the
name of the honorable senator himself
He had known her deceased husband
intimately and most favorably for many
years, and was no stranger to the young
widow herself. After moments refec-
ton, he carefully returned the delicate
missive to its place, and made the fol-
lowing laconic Endorsement upon the
papers: L go for Nancy" Nancy was
of course appointed, and faithfully
served the public in the capacity OF
postmistress.

messed them remembered thm to good
purpose when trying to enterthe harbor
at Stonehaven, and warned of their
danger by the white-crested waves rag
ing ON the bar. They had with them
only little colza-o and little paraffine
for their lamps vegetable ald mineral
oils $50 little that most men would have
deemed it mere folly to cast sudl upon
tempesuuous waves. But these men had
profted by their lesson. One man
stood ON either bow, and, just as the
boat approached the raging sun, they
slowly poured out their Offering to the
waves, which, as if by magic, ceased to
break, and rolled on in harmless green
pillows which carried the boat ssfe into
port. / have also heard from Cornwall
that a party of Cornish fishers who
CHANGED to be at Aberdeen al the time
of the experiments, and there witnessed
the stilling of the waves, returned to
their own granite bound coast with the
conviction that they had seen something
which hereafter it may be welifo them
to practice.
Now, thanks to the same lara-hearted
and energetic Scotchman VIII, planned
and brought into practical working the
oil-breakwater at. Peterbead, the men of
Kent can tell the wonder of is applica-
ton to their own harbor of folkestone,
and are eye-witnesses of how quickly,
on very stormy day, few gallons of
oil have Gained the breaking waves, and
made the harbor smooth and safe. The
London papers, Ill reporting on these
experiments, have stated the general be-
lief thai by this simple use of oil,
entrance and egress to Folkestone
Harbor may henceforth be made abso-
lutely secure in the severest storms.

A Scandinavian Sunday.
[Froude. in LonRman's Magazine

a.
Sunday came, and it was very pretty
to see, on the evening before and early
in the morning, the boats streaming up
the ford and down from the inland
lakes. One boat passed the yacht,
rowed by ten young stalwart women,
who handled their oars like Saltash
tishwlves. With a population so scat
tered, a single priest has two or more
churches to attend to st con-
siderable distances, pastors being APP
pointed according to the numbers of
the flock, and not the area which they
occupy. Thus at Elversdale here was
regular service only on alternate Sun
days, and this Sunday it was not
Elversdale's turn. But there was
samling-a gathering for caiechising
and prayer at our bonders house,
where the good man himself Or some
itinerant minister officiated. Several
hundreds must have collected, the chill
dren In largest proportion. Tie Morse
people are quiet, old-fashioned Luther
ans, who never read newspaper, and
have never heard of doubt ABOUT the
truth of what their fathers believed.
wien hiic ncctIuS WAS over, is maDy
of them as were curious to see an
English yacht and its occupants came
on board. The owner welcomed the
elders at the gangway, talked to them
in their own tongue, and showed them
over the ship. A had hanlfuls of
sugar plums for the little ones They
were plain-featured for the most part,
with fair hair and blue eyes-tle men
in strong homespun broadcloh, the
women in black serge, with bright
sash about the waist, and a shawl over
the shoulders with bits of modest en-
broidery at the corners. They were
perfectly well behaved, rational, simple,
unself-conscious, healthy racein mind
and body, whom it was pleasant to see.
| could well understand what Ameri-
cans mean when they say thai, of all
the colonists who migrate TO them, the
Morse are the best-and many go.
Norway is as full as it can hold and the
young swarms who in old days roved
out in their pirate ships over France
and England and Ireland now pass
peaceably to the far west.

NOT ONLY THESE,
BY ELLA DARE

Not only harbors filed with ships,
That come and go across the seas,
Weighed down with commerce on their trips,
The fruits of traffic and the keys
To motives, actions, and of aims,
hat move the forces of the race
To wealth and lust of larger gains
To greed of power and higher place.
Not only these our country asks to-day,
That she may lead her children on Away;
That she may hold within her strong, right hand,
The subtle secret force, that shall command
The coming ages to unfold TO view
New forts OF progress, met, and conquered too
Not only crowded streets of trade,
Filled full with noise, that stuns the sense,
That makes the masses sore afraid
To find their way through throngs so dense.
Not massive granite piles, that reach
From earth to greet the sky above.
Not merchants wares, that haste to preach
The times great sermon, of real push and
shove"
Not only these, our country needs this hour
But knowledge of these vital truths, that shower
Their blessings down on people who must learn
That private word and public faith must earn
The bounteous harvest of enduring wealth,
And of growing nations prosperous health.
Not only fashion, with its show,
Nor Slothful ease nor love of self,
Nor vain ambition, nor the flow
OF glittering streams of golden pelt
That rush along the ways of Ii e,
That numb the sense and craze the brain.
That change the mother and the wife
To courtiers of gew gaw train.
Not only these. our country fain would own,
But women of a sovereign heart whose home
Is made in virtues great stronghold,
In love of right and honor's mold,
Where children trace the truth along each day,
And build il in their lives and tread the way
OF royal souls whose honest work at length
Shall yield our country's life its needed strength

An Impregnable Standard. Bearer.

There is beautiful story of an old ele-
plant engaged IN battle on the plains of
India. He was standard bearer, and
carried on his huge back the royal en-
sign, the rallying point of the Poona
host. At the beginning of the fight he
lost his master. The "mahout," or
driver, had just given him the word to
halt, when he received fatal wound
and fell to the ground, where he lay I'M
der heap of slain. The obedient ele-
plant stood still while the battle closed
around him and the standard he carried.
He never stirred foot, refusing to ad-
vance or retire as the conflict became
hotter and fiercer, until the Mahrattas,
seeing the standard still flying steadily
IN its place, refused to believe that they
were being beaten, and rallied again and
again around the colors. And all this
while, amid the din of battle, the patient
animal stood strainins its ears to catch
the sound of that voice it would never
hear again. At length the tide of con-
quest left the field deserted. The Nah
rattas swept on in pursuit of the flying
foe, but the elephant, like a rock, stood
there, with the dead and dying around
and the ensign waving in its place.
For three days and nights it remained
in the place where its master had given
the command to halt. No bride or
threat could move it. They then sent
to village 100 miles away and brought
the mahout's little son. The noble hero
seemed then to remember how the
driver had sometimes given his author
ity to the little child, and Immediately,
with all the shattered trappings cinging
as he went, passed quietly and slowly

widow of whaling captain, has large

had been on my grandfather's farm for
many years. A cousin of mine took me
out to the farm in his carriage, and we

A Trne Story.

tFrom the Paris Beacon.1
John, [ wish you would chop little
stovewood before you go down in town,
said Mrs. Smith yesterday morning
"for / have big washing to-day"
"Pd do it Jane" said Mr.. Smith,
but [ sprained my back yesterday
while lifting and don't feel able"
"Wel, John if that's the case I'll try
and do it myself. know what it is to
have lame back. Poor fellow, hadn't
I better put plaster on it for you?"
mo, dear, / guess it will get well in
a day or two. By the way, [ guess I'll
go down few minutes"
AS John sneaked off he felt ashamed
of himself. ''What if she had asked how
l hurt my back?'' he thought 81 would
have been ashamed to tell her that |
did it by lifting barrel of whisky for a
drink"
Five minutes later he was mailing
away an striking machine, at 5 cents
a blow, and it cost him more for forty
blows that he struck than it would have
cost to buy the wood and hire the
washing for his poor, sick wife. He
struck blow 800 pounds heavier, too
than his neighbor across the street
who chops wood for living Such is
