THE SEA SERPENT.

There seems to be no longer any doubt of
the existence of this marine monster. For a
century or more similar serpents have been
seen and described, but the stories have been
discredited until this summer, when, through
the persistence of the monster in exhibiting
itself, it can no longer be considered myth
In the last century missionary to Green
land describes such monster. This was on
July G, 1884. Soon after this the bishop
Bergen, member Of the Copenhagen
Academy of Sciences, published Natural
History Of Norway" in which be collects con-
siderable evidence to prove the existence Of
this serpent. In 1877 the sea serpent was first
seen opposite Gloucester. Mass, and the Lin
naen society Of New England, after carefully
investigating the alleged apparition, reported
that it considered the testimony obtained
"sufiicien: to place the existence Of the animal
beyond doubt" On Aug g, lS4S, Capt Nc
Quahe, in command of the Daedalus Of the
Brisish navy, encountered a sea serpent But
this year the monster has been seen several
times, notably off Gloucester on the Massa-
chusetts coast and in the Hudson river and by
highly creditable witnesses. II the animal is
not eventually captured, it is to be hoped at
least photograph OF him may be obtained
when the accuracy Of eur picture OF hin will
be established.

match for such lovely girl as she.
Their trysting place was a romantic spot,
Known, as tho lovers thought, TO them alone;
For, as old Shake would say, they did not wot
That had made their secret all my own.
They were engaged. She'd named the hsppy
day.
Within month they twain would be made one.
Meanwhile they spooned; and I'm ashamed to
say,
used TO hide close by, and watch the fun.
This special night they sat there, slow TO speak
AS lovers will, entranced in silent bliss
Until he drew her close and on her cheek
Impressed, as lovers will, tender kiss.
She started, shrieked and thrust aside his arm,
Then turned away her head and softly cried.
why, darlng!" he exclaimed, What was the
harm?
What! can't a fellow Kiss his future bride!'
But still she sobbed And then down by her side
In wild alarm he knet, and begged that she
would speak.
''What can do to soothe my sweet:' he cried.

The color flushed her face in one hot wave;

Yop would go off somewhere, and get shave"

1t is to be a suspension bridge, patterned
after those at Brooklyn and Cincinnati.
Peekskill is a picturesque and wealthy town
on the left bank Of the Hudson, forty two
miles north of New York city, chiefly noted
for being the summer home of Henry Ward
Beecher Close by is Anthony'S Nose, n
mountain 800 feet high. The bridge will
cross from the side of this mouu-
tain, at a height above the Hudson
river Of 1919 feet. This will leave room below
for the passage of ships and steamers. Wash
ington Irving in his highly veracious history
says the mountain got its name from the nasal
organ Of Anthony Van Corlear. The bridge
win cross from Anthony's Nose to old Fort
Clinton on the west bank. The height above
the water of the towers supporting the cables
will be something tremendous, 80 feet.
1t is proposed to connect on the west si]e

He Moved On to the Next.

Capt. Nigglesworth, who is candidate for
the legislature, stopped at the unpretentious
house of old Sam Saber. After supper, while
the candidate was sitting on the porch smok-
ing a cigar, Saber's little boy shyly ap-
preached. "Come here, my son. Sit on my
knee. Now you're fixed. Do you go to
school" "No; but me an Dick killed water
moccasin yistidy." "Y ou did! All, hah. Were
you not afraid he would bite you.' "Ho, he
couldn't bite me. l could get outen his way
an hit him with a rock" "My little man,
after little while you can tell people you sat
on Capt Nigglesworth's knee" 'Ho, that
amt nuthin' ter tell i sat on my pap's knee
yistidy, an he's bigger'n you" YES, 1t
would be something to tell, for I'm going to
the legislature. ""Pap says you amt" "What"

you comm he said, Wonder comes that
blamed fool. He thinks he's goin' to the legls-
lature, but he amt got sense enough to holer
when he's dog Bit That's what my pap
said" A few minutes later, had the night
not been so dark, solitary horseman might
have been seen riding along the old military
road-Arkansaw Traveller.
