SUNSET.

And now on my last cruise 60,
And in n lonely quest;
Yet the wind wakes; the strong tides flow,
Forever to the west.
Good byl All wild and strange the sea,
And pleasant Is the shore
But though the coast be dear TO me,
i shall return no more.
Yet many golden isle may rise,
And many guiding star,
Or happy shores OF paradise,
Where our beloved are.
The eastern sky looks bleak and cold,
But day is nearly done:
My boat rocks I'm track Of gold
follow the setting sun.
Good by forever, love and yet
What may the darkness hdel
On sea or land, If we two met,
should be satisfied.

BISMARCK.

lucky youngster when l secured the
position of assistant operator in the
little telegraph Office at Ellicott, but /
soon found out that Old Samp, as the
boys called him, never would be in
vlted to join the angel band if he did
not sandpaper oil the ragged edges of
his uneven temper.
Jacob Sampson, properly was my
employer, and if | did not get drilled
In that office! But there was one ray
of light-one OASIS in the desert of my
life in that wretched little prison, and
that Bismarck.
Bismarck was the prettiest, sweet
est little gem of German girl that
ever breathed. That is her parents
were Germans, who, having been dis
appointed in son, had named their
only daughter after the great Count
Won Bismarck.
Bismarck had never been outside of
the State, and nothing but the sweet
est little accent in the world would
have told you that her parents were
not simon pure Americans.
Her place in our Office was that of
copyist and pupil; she had been well
educated, and was now learning tele-
graphy of Old Samp, who treated us
both with all the arrogance of low
bred man.
But for all the vigilance of his little
mOle-like eyes, found opportunity to
say many sweet word to pretty little
Bismarck, and had often noted the
tenderness in her big blue eyes, and
the flush on her cheek grew to rival
the damask rose when l had uttered
some daring word of love. Daring,
because l never could get a word of
reply from darling Bismarck upon the
subject.
Oh! l was happy. In spite of pow
erty or Old Samp, l knew that Bis
marck loved me, and never despaired
OF making her own it until the day
when my budding idiocy bloomed into
the perfect flower.
Mre. Warner was one of the worst
female cranks that ever bothered the
human race. She was completely
gone on kilograms. Unfortunately she
had plenty Of money and was continu-
ally sending the most trivial messages
to her distant friends, and then blam-
ing us because they did not answer
her.
One day when Old Samp was at din
ner she bothered me nearly out of nv
wits, and entirely broke up my little
tete-a-tete with Bismarck.
"Mrs. Warner" said l, worn out.
"f you had received a telegram l
should have sent it to you"
"YesP" returned she questioningly.
LIT is very strange at least Mary
Jane would let me know if Robbie had
got over the measles, know"
perhaps she thought letter would
do"
''No, she knows that / would want
to know Immediately. l think there
must be some mistake. | will wait
until Mr.. Sampson comes in."
And she did. l stole n glance at
Bismarck but she seemed utterly un-
concerned while the resolute Mrs.
Warner piled me with all sorts of sus-
picious questions. At length |
locked myself into the private Office
and let Bismarck carry on the conver-
sation.
When Sampson came in he answered
her so grutlly that she soon with
drew and then he turned upon me
shortly:
"Why didn't you send that woman
about her business. Haven't you got
a tongue in your headP"
'She didn't think that / was worth
noticing" replied /, meekly.
This sort of thing lasted for week.
She always came in about dinner time,

day when both Bismarck and Samp-
son were at dinner, there came q
change.
Mrs. Warmers errand boy came in
her stead.
Mrs. Warner wants to know if you

"Of course / am. Trot back to Mrs.
Warner and tell her now"
"Well | don't know" remarked
he. "Mrs. Warner thinks you don't
know as much as you might. Won't
YOU please write down what you
saidP'
"Yes / will" cried l, in desperation.
| hastily caught up form and finding
that Bismarck had been scrib-
bling some German sentences upon
it, I was about to throw it down
again, when thought struck me.
Mrs. Warner never could read that.
] dashed it into and envelope saying
hastily:
Take her this and then try and
keep away from here. "
The boy had not crossed the street
when / began to feel uncomfortab
Then l laughed in satisfaction as
1 thought of the time Mrs.
Warner would have trying to make
it out.
Bismarck came in directly, looking
prettier than ever
"Say, Bis coaxed l, lounging up to
her desk, Gown up now that you are
just as absurdly in love with me as 1
am with you"
She turned upon me a look which
would have turned the head of old
Samp himself, and said in assumed in
dignation
"Will, you are utterly ridiculous" @"
| knew it pleased her though, and /
was about to repeat my theme with
some brilliant variations, when | be-
held old Samp. coming from one way
and Mrs. Warner from another.
The two entered together.
"Mr Sampson, will you just look at
this telegram can't make it out at
all. viii you please read it for me?"
felt tremor waltz up and down
my spinal column when she paused.
Old Samp. put on his glasses, and
took the paper into his hand. He
looked at it minute, and then he
glanced at Bismarck.
"Ahem! Miss Lautenschlager, did
you write out this telegram?"
mo, SIR"
"YOu must have done so, it is writ
ten in German. Read il aloud. Miss
Lautenschlager."
II know nothing about it," replied
Bismarck, turning white as she took
the paper.
Old Samp. took an angry step to-
ward her.
Don't deny it, Miss Lautenschla-
ger, you wrote that, now read it
aloud"
l was about to interpose but Bis
marck spoke up quickly.
1t must be mistake, Mr.. Sampson,
it is not a telegram, only something
which l scribbled in an idle moment"
Indeed! Read it, Miss Lauten-
schlager"
81 had rather not" replied Bis
marck, the tears gathering in her
eyes.
"Read it, say, / will know what is
going on in this Office" shouted old
Samp, his bald head growing purple
with anger.
"It is only Mr.. Depue's name, writ
ten over couple of times, and my
own, replied Bismarck bravely, but
turning from red to white.
And you wrote it?"
"Yes SIR"
"Pretty occupation for a young la
dy," he sneered. THE next thing is
how did Mrs. Warner get hold of it?"
81 sent it to her." said /, boldly,
looking old Samp in the eye.

me with an astonished look.
Don't you wish you had given me
a dollar instead of my dinnerP" slipped
out of my mouth before l thought.
Il swan do" replied he with guf-
faw. "But. if you can tinker as well
as you can eat, | won't find no fault. :"
After dinner he conducted me to a
pleasant sitting room and placed an
old fashioned clock upon the table for
me to manipulate.
He then left me. | looked at that
clock with defiance and tackled it with
vim. 1t came to pieces readily
enough. All could do was to rub it
little and put it together again, but
would do that much any way.
AS | was busy securing up the dust
covered wheels, | became conscious
that there were some girls in the next
room taking an unseen survey of my
self and my doings. The door be-
tween us was wide open, and could
hear them tittering as they looked
through the crack behind the door.
could hear too the click of a sewing
machine and the rustic of cloth in that
forbidden domain, but l concentrated
my mind upon my work, and soon L
began to wonder if ever l could put
the thing together again.

changed it half-dozen times but still

was about to inform my employer that

where | had last piled my trade, and
propose to 90 back for them before fin
ishing my work, and thus escape,
when / heard from the next room q
different sound from that of the sew
ing machine.
1t was that of an improvised tele-
graph. The tapping of some hard sub
stance upon the window pane and to
my experienced ear it said:
'Lock under your chair. You
have dropped one of the wheels" ;"

the wheel. Instead of picking it up, I
tapped with my jack-knife upon the
table:

promptly.

ing the astonished lookers.on, and
hugged her and kissed her with all the
pent up fondness of five years, and she
returned the kisses.
She will not own it now, but she did,
would take my oath to it, but then
I've heard that women forget all about
their young days when they are once
settled in life.
Bismarck informed me that her par
ents had died OF cholera almost
as soon as they had landed in Paris,
and that she had returned TO
America and had sewed for her living
ever since.
/ put that clock together before l
started for town, and what was more
astonishing the thing actually run for
months afterwards.
That quarter carried me to my uncle 8

erable Importance, and after a short
time Bismarck and myself were mar

Old Samp's sarcasm was beautiful.
"Then we are to consider this prac-
tical joke, Mrs. Warner. Mr.. Depue,
however may consider himself dis
charged from his situation, and Miss
Lautenschlager who find was not tC
blame in the matter, may fill the va
cant place"
"All right, SIR" replied pompous-
ly, 81 will depart on the next train. y
Mrs. Warner Withdrew in great in
dignatlon, and old Samp, after hand
ing me my salary, shut himself up ii
his private Office.
Bismarck, whispered /, "can you
ever forgive me?'
"You were not to blame, l ough,
not to write such things"
Oh, why did my stupid tongue say it
"Never mind Bis, you'd had to have
owned it sometimer'
Owned what, sirP"
"Why. that you adored me, o
course"
Il did not own 1T, SIR"
"Oh! yes you aid, Bis. Ask ole
Samp if that wasn't owning upr'
How she did take that piece of i'm
pertinence! tried to joke her out O
it, put In vain.
Il never will be your friend again
she said.
Still went carelessly on.
"Now, Bis, didn't mean to ge
your dutch up in this manner. like
you, and its only fair that you shoulC
like me-"
She turned her back upon me anc
would not answer me.
The train came rolling into the sta
ton.
Goodbye, Bismarck. I'm going tC
write to you and you must answer
me-" said in an agony.
She did not reply and was obliged
to 90, for it was the last train tina

Salaries range from so per week,
