Spoke to the Admiral About 1t.

When the late Captain DeLong, OF
the Jeanette, graduated at Memphis he
was ordered to report to Admiral String
ham for sea duty on board the Canaan
daigua. On inspecting his quarters he
found only two hunks for four midship-
men, which would result in two of them
swinging in hammocks during the whole
two years voyage. OFF he started to
see the Admiral, being ironically en-
couraged by some officers whom he met,
and who said:
"That's right. The thing should be
attended to. Just speak to the Admiral
positively about it and you'll get what
you want"
Unconscious that they were chatting
him he walked straight into the Ad-
miral's presence and encountered an
erect gentleman with white hair and
sharp black eyes, who sat at his desk
writing. His visitor advanced toward
him. cap in hand, and said:
admiral, l am Mdshipman DeLong,
OF Gl6 OuIb6u SlcdlloI Ohlidu-
daigua. Sir, have been inspecting my
quarters on board and find only two
hunks in the steerage for four midship-
men. 1 came, sir, to ask you to have
two more berths put in before we start
for sea-"
The Admiral looked up quickly and
said:
$50 you are Midshipman DeLorg, OF
the United States steamer Canaan

eyes, sir"
"Weli, Midshipman DeLong, of the
United States steamer Canandaigua,
l advise you to return on board the
United States steamer Canandaigua, and
consider yourself very happy that you
have any hunks at all in the steerage.
The Admiral was better than his
word, however. His amusement was
greater than his amazement, and he
ordered the additional hunks to be
made.

"I am sure T don't know how I got
from his cabin to my own, but once in
the latter, bolted the door, and never
came out till the next morning. can't
tell if the captain ever confded to his
wife what took place in his cabin, but I
sometimes fancied I could see in her
face, when her eyes fell on me, an ex-
preston of mingled pity and amuse-
ment that I never noticed there before.
One thing I was sure Of, however, and
that was that when became more famil-
lar with her I did not think her quite so
pretty as did at first.
"When the Winchester touched at
ST. Helena, I arranaaf with Captain
Smith that I shoutt q ashore there,
and wait for the nesagSssselsof of Greene's
line. We made i'll health and the need
of land air the excuse.
"That time in the captains cabin was
the most awkward moment I ever knew.
I suppose I am the only fellow who ever
asked man to marry him to his own
wife. At any rate, if there is another,
he has my sympathy"

A Peculiar Sore Throat.

The manager of New York theatre
was very much annoyed by the actors
and actresses who frequently refused to
appear in their roles on account of sore
throat, much to his pecuniary disad-
vantage. One Saturday afternoon when
the entire company were on hand to
draw their salaries, he paralyzed them
by refusing to hand out any money.
"What is the reason you don't pay us
our salaries ?" howIed the company.
"There don't appear to be any thing
the matter with your throats now" re-
piled the manager, ''but MY throat is
sore. I regret to nnounce, that on ac-
count of my sore throat I will not be
able to appear this week in my popular
role of the prompt paymaster. "-1ecas

Grants Plain Dress.

During the war, even when Com
mander-in-C Chief, Gen Grant went about
wearing an old slouch hat and a COM
mon soldiers blue overcoat, worn and
dipgy one at that. When advancing on
the rear of Vicksburg he gave orders to
his army to ''move light" His personal
example gave emphasis to his order.
The only baggage" he took with him
was briar-root pipe, tooth brush and
horn pocket-comb.
At City Point, his headquarters the
last winter of the war, the General lived
in a two-roomed log hut in the greatest
possible simplicity. Nine-tenths of the
captains in his army lived more luxuri-
ousIy. His food was that of the COM
mon mess of the officers. A huge fire
was built outdoors in front of the Int,
and before this, wrapped in his old over
coat. with two or three of his staff about
him, the General liked best of all to sit.
Toward the last, unknown to himself,
these devoted friends watched him night
and day. Plots against his life had been
formed-an attempt to blow up his head
quarters with torpedo had almost sue
ceeded. In the final days the General
became sleepless, and sometimes sat
under the stars in the cold night till 3
and o'clock in the morning. His staff
made a private plan to take turns in
remaining up with him. Even when he
threw himself upon his campbell one or
the other of the faithful friends watched
in front of the log-cabin door. HE
never knew of this" says Badeau, "but
we often bargained with one another for
an hour or two of rest.
The Generals wife and children spent
part of the tedious months with HIM IN
| the log cabin.

Bill Arp In a Strange Tavern.

Where do all the people come from
and what are they after The cars are
full of them and the hotels are crowded
wherever I go. They come and they
go. They seem as restless as the
troubled sea. AS sit among them in
this large lounging room I cannot help
wondering what is their business and
what they are thinking, and how many
are happy and how many have some
secret sorrow, and I wish I was mind
reader and could follow them in their
thoughts of home and family-wife,
children or mother away off somewhere.
How much we are all alike if we only
knew it. Sometimes I venture remark
to stranger who sits near me by the
stove. When draw them out on home
and distant kindred it seems a welcome
subject, and as we get more familiar,
they warm up, and will venture to tell
me of their families and their business.
Strangers in strange land are very
quick to appreciate civility. A man
may be offish and uncommunicative
when at home but when he gets away
off he looks longingly around for friend
somebody that knows somebody that
he knows. At times I have felt awfully
lonesome in my wanderings, and would
have rejoiced with unfeigned gladness
to have seen my little dog Fido. I
could have almost cried over the affec-
tionate wag of his little tail. This ever
constant mingling of the people from all
the States is obliged to do good. We
are all assimilating; we are rubbing
against each other more and more every
day. and we understand each other and
find that we are all just human and are
sailing in the same big boat upon the
sea of life. The North and the South,
the East and the West are being fast
drawn together, and not even the politi-
clans can much longer keep us apart

A BROKEN DREAM.

High roared the flames upon the hearth,
The wind howled f1tfully without,
And wind and fame like jewellers
Seemed gleefully to laugh and shout,
As Maud and before the fire
Leaned idly back and smiled and sighed
Her robe of violet velvet hung
In shadowy folds down at her side.
Her golden hair in ripping waves
Hung carelessly below her waist,
And creamy lace from shoulders white
Fell, and its web-like pattern traced.
Her gaze was always on the fire,
And mine was always upon her;
The faint, sweet smell of sandalwood
Came over as her fan did stir.
A score of years-and once again
1 sit within the olden room,
And back upon the air there floats
The faint, sweet saudalwood perfume.
Parted worldwide are Maud and I,
Yet, like subtle, shy caress,
I feel anear me fall the folds
OF that soft violet velvet dress.

GOD THE SPIRIT.

GOD THE SPIRIT.
Oh. blessed Spirit let me feel
Thy vital breath upon my heart;
Thirsting for thee 1 lowly kneel,
And wait till thou thysef impart.
To Thee my earth-dimmed spirit cries;
Change thou my blindness into sight.
Give me from shades of sin to rise,
And bathe my soal in Heavens pure light.
Thou canst, to my weak thought unfold
The wonders of Christ's matchless grace;
Canst bid faiths ravished eyes behold
The glories of his unveiled facei
If but thy quickening breath inspire,
This heart with fervent love shall glow;
And kindling as with Heavens own fire,
Heavens bliss on earth begun, shall know.
Come, Holy Spirit, fill this breast
With thy sweet, soul-transforming power;
Be thou my ever present guest,
My life, my joy, from hour to hour
RELATING A STORY.
The Christian AdUocate thinks some
futile inquiries addressed toit concerning
mysteries may best be answered by quot
ing the following sentence from a negro
preacher: "My beloved brethren, sup
pose Eve had sinned and Adam had not.
Would Eve have gone out of the garden
and Adam stayed in? And if 80, wouId
Adam have had grace to bear the separa-

have come to the conclusion, in my old
age, that the best thing a man can do is
to believe what is necessary to his saliva
ton and what will help him work the
works of righteousness, and leave Adam
and Eve to take care of themselves.

The First Painted Oil Barrels.

During a long voyage or a long
journey by rail sometimes half barrel
of oil would leak through the pores OF
the wood and evaporate. So some
sharp fellow began to study some way
of preventing such loss. He first painted
the barrel blue on the outside and then
filed it with water aud allowed it to
stand until it had soaked up all 1t
would. Then the oil was put in. The
water kept the oil from soaking IN the
wood, and the paint Oh the outside Kept
the water from coming out. He got a
patent on his discovery, and now he sits
in his office and draws his royalty of one
cent on every barrel made to hold kero-
sene oil for shipment. -..,..
