The Boy Who Stood on the Burning

Few but know the very pretty piece
of poetry by Mrs. Hemans, "Casabianca, ="
commencing, "The boy stood on the
burning deck" The poetess states that
the lad was the son of the admiral COM
manding the flagship L'Orient, which
took fire and exploded; that young Cas-
abianca perished in the explosion, refus.
ing to quit the position allotted him by
his father, pending the battle of the Nile.
I have been looking into the official ac.
count of the incident, says Paris letter
to the Newark, On. j. AdOertiser. The
admiral was Brueys, who was wounded
in the head and hand early in the action.
He continued to give orders until cut in
two by cannon ball, he uttered the re.
quest to be allowed to expire on deck,
which he did in the course of some min
utes.
Citoyen Casabianca, the father of the
poetic hero, then took command; his
son was MILDLY, but only aged ten, not
thirteen. At that period lads entered
the navy very young. Casabianca was
also deputy. Pending the action his

DIR. Samuel X. Cox, d. D., Practical
Analytical Chemist, Washington, d. c.,
who made thorough and careful analyses,
reports that there is neither morphia.

Star Cough Cure; that it must prove t,
boon to those whose systems shrink from
the use Of such compounds, and espec-
ially to mothers, who justly dread the
evil, and, at times, fatal effects of these
dangerous drugs. He further states it is
not only free from all opiates, poisons
and emetics, Ga thing which not one
cough preparation in ten can boast) but
it is altogether an original and most
happy combination of the best remedial
agents, and is as harmless as it is effec-
tive.

Stewards Marvellous Memory.

Stewart was the typical tradesman OF
modern times. He was the trades
man everywhere, at church, at his club,
at home. He never forgot the most
trihing details of his business; he knew
and remembered the pattern of every
piece of goods that had ever been on his
shelves.
Stewart belonged to the Century club,
although he rarely visited its rooms. The
club once bought carpet of his people,
and when it had been down for several
months Stewart happened to come in.
He seemed to be greatly interested in the
carpet, studying 1t attentively.
"Where did you buy that 2" he de-
manded at last of one of the house com
mittee.
"At your place, believe"
'Impossiblem m reioined the millionaire.
"We never had the pattern in stock.
We have had pattern exactly similar,
except that those little violet flowers
were white"
The committeeman took the trouble tC
hunt through his vouchers, and produced
a receipted bill of A. T. Stewart 81 Co
Mr.. Stewart shook his head.
"There is some mistake,@ he said
"the little flowers on your carpet wert
white.
1t was found ON investigation that tn,
little flowers had been white 80 often

The Law All on Both sides.

"Mr. Lawyer, l want to ask you q

most honorable lawyers.

nature of the caseg"
"Waal, eff you wer huntin' en- your

wouldn't go, and then he'd try to knock
you off, could ye bring suit agin' him fol
tryin' to knock you Off"
The lawyer then looked at the band
age around the mans head and replied,
in an emphatic way:
i" Most assuredly; and collect heavy
damages"
"Waal, then, 1 reckon I won't dc
nothin' more about it"
"Why, why not, my friend9 You
could certainly get heavy damages. The
law is all on your side"

"How's thatl probably misunder-
