They Couldn't Dance.

A curious couple caught my eye down
at Ocean Grove the other day, says
newspaper correspondent, and just about
the same time the parents of the feme-
nine member caught them. They were
standing on the shore of Wesley Lake,
which is a little sheet of water separat-
ing the great Methodist resort from As
bury Park. 1t was evening. An avn
ing screened them from casual observa-
ton. The music of waltz came across
the moonlit lake from a ball that was
going on in an Asbury hotel. The young
mans right arm encircled the maiden's
waist and his left hand clasped her
hand, while their faces were close to-
gether enough to touch, if they didn't.
''Hi, there, Sophy," said the father
But they didn't let go.
''Ho, there, Sophy,n said the mother.
Still they remained entwined.
"We're doing no HARM" coolly eX-
planned the girl. This is still waltz.
The law of Ocean Grove forbids dancing,
but it doesn't say that couple sha'nt
assume the attitudes of walters and
stand motionless to the music across the

COMING INTO PORT.

nave weathered the coming cape of storms,
Where the winds of passion blow;
Ahave sheered by the reefs that gnash to foam
The shadows that lurk below;
nave joyed in the surge of the whistling sea
ana the wild, strong stress of the gale,
AS my brave bark quivered and leaped, alive
To the strain of its crowded sail.
Then the masterful spirit was on me,
And with nature wrestled glad;
And danger was like passionate bride,
And love itself was half mad.
Then life was q storm that blew me on,
And flew as the wild winds fly;
And hope was pennon streaming out,
High up-to play with the sky.
Oh, the golden days, the glorious days
That 80 lavish of life we spent
Oh, the dreaming nights with the silent stars
Meath the sky's mysterious tent
Oh, the Light, light heart and strong desire,
And the pulses quickening thrill,
When joy lived with us, and beauty smiled,
And youth had its free, full will
The whole wide world was before US then,
And never our spirits failed,
And we never looked back, but ever on,
Into the future we sailed
Ever before us the distant bound,
Whose dim and exquisite line
Alone divided our earth froa heaven,
Our life from a life divine.
Now my voyage is well nigh over,
And my stanchest spars are gone,
And my sails are rent and my barnaeled bark
Drags slowly and heavily on,
The faint breeze comes from the distant shore
With its odors dim and sweet,
And soon in the silent harbor of peace
Long parted friends shall greet
The voyage is well nigh over,
Though at times a capful of wind
Will rattle the ropes and fill the sails
And furrow a wake behind.
But the sea has become a weariness,
And glad into port shall come,
With my sails all furled and my anchor
dropped,
And my cargo carried home.

A Curious Fact.

1t is stated as curious fact, by
writer in the Building Neaos that one of
the properties specially conducive to
durability in timber is its odoriferous-
ness-woods which are of this character
being the most durable. The same au-
thority states that the increase in
strength due to seasoning in different
woods is as follows: White pine, 8 per
cent. elm, 1873 per cent; oak, 26.6
per cent. ash, 44.7 per cent; beech,
61.9 The comparative value of differ
ent woods, in respect to crushing
strength and stiffness, is thus shown:
Teak, 6,555; English oak, 4,O74; ash,
3,571; elm, 3,468; beech, 3,079; ma
hogany, ASH; spruce, 2,522; yellow
pine, 2, 1893; sycamore, 1888; cedar,
700. Regarding the relative degrees of
hardness, shellbark hickory stands high
est, and, calling that 100, white oak is
"a; white ash, n; dogwood, 10; scrub
oak, 70; white hazel, 70; apple, 70; red
oak, 50; beech, 65; black walnut, 65;
yellow oak, so; white elm, 50; hard
maple, So; wild cedar, 55; yellow pine,
54 Ironwood, hornbeam, almond,
hard beech, teak, and thorn are of nota-
BILE hardness, and, of course, very SER
viceable where that quality is essential.

Miss Adrianna Physick Brinekle has
lust been released from the State Lunatlc
Asylum, of Pennsylvania, where she had
been confined for twentyseven years on
the extraordinary charge of "extrava-
gance and eccentricity." She is
daughter of the late William Draper
Brinckle, a physician who enjoyed
large practice and moved in the highest
circles of society in Philadelphia thirty
years ago. Miss Brinckle was an ac-
knowledged belle, a woman OF great
beauty and accomplishments and gen
eral favorite.
She was extremely extravagant, but
an unfortunate change in the financial
standing of her father made it impossible
for him to pay her bills, as he had al
ways done before. Adrianna was unable
to overcome her extravagant tastes, and,
without knowing anything of the law
in such cases, ordered a piano and suit
of furniture, which she sold before pay
ing for them. This proceeding scandal
lied the set to which the Brinckles be-
longed, and, as it was stated at the time,
to s'save the family honor" Miss
Brinckle was sent to the asylum, enter
ing the instution in July, 1858. When
the twelfth national conference OF
Charities and Correction met In Wash
ington, last June, one of the delegates
made the following statement:
ga beautiful and charming young
lady, Just out of her teens, used to
wealth, is extravagant; and her father,
reduced in circumstances, finds himself
unable to restrain her habit of spending
concludes she requires custodial care,
places her in hospital, needless OF her
earnest protests; he dies and leaves her
there; there she has been nearly thirty
wears, and is now nearly sixty years OF
age, and still begging to be released !;
but the custodian thinks she need
custodial care, and she remains to this
day under restraint of her personal lib
erty."
This led to an investigation and Miss.
Brinckle was visited at the State Lunatlc
Asylum at Harrisburg, and committee
reported that there was no evidence OF
insanity in her case But still no release
came, and the unfortunate woman al
most abandoned hope, and the convlc-
ton forced itself upon her that she
would be left to die in the asylum which
had sheltered her for twenty-seven years.
When the representatives of the State
Committee on Lunacy visited, however,
she began to hope again, and her drama
of liberty were realized when the ORDER
came from the committee and she was
sent out free woman.
Upon her arrival in PhiladeiPhla sne
was taken to the Convalesccnts' Retreat,
near Glen Mills. Delaware county, where
she was tenderly cared for. Miss BrlncAle
is now a cray-haired woman of sixty, in
the full possession of all her faculties,
and in good bodily health. She will re-
main at the Convalescents' Retreat for
the present, but will probably go to New
| York next winter and spend her declln1
ing years beneath the hospitable ROOT oi
friend who was loyal to her during heIT
imprisonment, and who never relaxed
her efforts to secure her release.
