It was rather the expectation of knew not what; of something strange, unknown, mysterious which I thought must presently happen, blended with feeling like curiosity as to the ultimate solution of the enigma before me, and which kept me motionless and spellbound. My right hand was now gently lifted upon . head-a w0man's head-for could plainly feel mass of soft hair, which seemed to be gathered on the top in . kind of wreath, the head half resting against the back of the chair. How many minutes this lasted ! do not know. Again the clock struck-half- past eleven. At the same instant my one hand was released; the other, sup ported by the invisible head of my strange visitor, fell to my side; the chair rocked violently for moment as If some one had risen and left it, and then I knew I was alone. l touched the chair, felt 1t all over, turned it upside down-it was empty. I hastened to the door, the windows all were closed and locked securely, nor do I now know whether I ex- pected either of them to be open. Out side the storm still ragged fiercely. turned to the table, took up my book and sought the page which I had been reading. Page 46 of "An Ocean Free Lance," Seaside edition, was torn from the top to the middle of the third col umn which begin with the words "Your confession certainly surprised me, sir. I do not believe in appari- tions, but I really do not know why they shouldn't be believed i'm" This is all I have to tell. It was my first uncanny and inexplicable experience What to make of 1t I know not. am told that dreamed 1t. If so, whence the torn book? am as careful of the cheapest book as only a real book worm can be, and I would as soor think of opening the piano by split ting it's top with an axe as of willfully defacing or tearing book. Moreover my cigar which had lighted at clever o'clock was still burning, partly con- stunned, at half- past eleven, for uncon. sciously had smoked while my two hands were so strangely occupied. was as wide awake, as sober, as fully in possession of ali my mental facul' ties as am at the moment of writing these lines, and, finally, may as vel state that I do not believe that ther' exists a strong, healthy, sane person untroubled by either bad conscience or by bad habits, who cannot withou absolute certainty state, of an individ ual experience, whether he wee full, awake or asleep and dreaming at tho time.

Addison cammack's New Youth.

When the war broke out Addison Cammack and Feb Ward were con- temporaries and associates. They were handling cotton on the levee at New Orleans for five dollars a day. Now Cammack looks young enough to be old Zeb's grandson. After the war, out of which both Cammack and Ward made some money, the former came to New York and became 6 spec ulator on Wall street. Ward went to Little Rock, and was for long time the lessee of the Arkansaw convicts. Speculating proved better than con- vict leasing. Some say Cammack is worth $6,0O0,00O and some cay five times that. He is a close mouthed man about his business, and the ver- anda gossip is more at random on his affairs than upon any other mans here. Cammack made and held his fortune on the bear side. He has always been bear. He and Woerishoffer, who died not long ago, were the recognized authorities on their side for many years. Until two years ago Cammack was bachelor and one of "the boys" He went to Washington and married 6 girl who had no fortune, but mag nificent charms of person. Since then he has become one of the most domes- tic of men. There are two little heirs to the millions, and the fresh faced gray -moustached father is the most contented- looking millionaire at the States. One of the best stories told of Cammack is of transaction between him and MT. Gould several years ago. The market was aii Cammack's way. Gould was staggering under tremen- dous load of securities. He was "stock poor" Cammack stepped forward and put his bank account at Gould's disposal. 1t was only a temporary loan, but it carried the great railroad magnate through pinch which might have impaired his fortune seriously but for this assistance. Nobody knows how much the loan was, because Cam mack doesn't tell such things, but he has the reputation of carrying more ready cash than any other operator on Wall street, and Gould had the benefit of it, whatever it was.

 But although he might support . wife fin comfort, we fear MT. Harrison Bascomb would not be wholly happy. "Is Dot the life more than meat, and the body than raimentf" Love, ten- der, passionate, patient, sacrificing, mysterious, eternal, unutterable love, is the only true motive for matri- mony, and the only healing oil for its frictions and disillusions.

violent chase to lowering buccaneers
in the Spanish Main. and would have

HIDE THE SCARS.

Oh. Swallowed lives, where e'er you be,
With mourlful eyes that only see
Your garden of Gethsemane.
No longer sit from dusk till dawn.
With trembling p and cheek Of wan,
BY sorrows stream-your Babylon.
Though ST eff may gnaw your heart in twain,
Hide, hide the scars, and tears restrain;
Take down your harps and play again.
Sing. though the hours be sad and long,
For, always mind the passing throng,
There's some one waiting for your song.
And lips compelled to drink the rue,
The bitterest that ever grew,
Still, make no sign what e'er you do.
Smile. though your heart De full OF dole,
Though every smile your lips control
Is O er death-bed in your soul.
Shroud. shroud your dead and quickly pile
The sod above them; all the while
Some one is waiting for your smile.
Laugh and be gay, for this know:
The world loves not the face of woe
Loves not to see the tear-drops flow.
And you who bear the sword and shield,
Whose hearts are but battlefield,
Where neither side Will ever yield.
Call you no roll when battles done,
Make no report at set Of sun;
The world cares not which side has won.
But, though your wounds be running red,
BE sure. ere yet the day is fed,
To shroud your soul S unbur.ed dead.

A Story Which Is as Good To-Day as I,
Was Forty Years Ago.
There is a story of two Quakers, one
of whom practlced underwriting or
marine risks. This was before the days
of insurance corporations. The other.
merchant, receiving an invoice of a
shipment of merchandise from the East
Indies, went to the underwater and
agreed with him on terms for insur-
ance. NOpapers were passed and only
memorandum of the terms was
made. A longer time than was
usually consumed in such voyages as
that on which the ship was bound wen,
by without any tidings from her, anG
the merchant became anxious, but did
not want to stir up the underwater for
the policy, for fear that he, also being
aware of the ships hardness. might
exercise his legal right to back out OF
the bargain. Nor could the merchant
look elsewhere for insurance, as. being
compelled to name the day OF the ship s
sailing. other underwriters would de-
cline what seemed to be an unsafe risk,
and all the quicker if one of the guild
had already retreated. Thus tossed
between doubts and fears, the mer-
chant waited until, one day, he received
tidings Of the ships loss. At once he
wrote to the underwater:
Friend Richard-Thee need not make that
IN no
ship. Thy friend, JOHN Doe.
Friend Richard, receiving the no
tice. said to himself. ..Ah. ha! The
ship has got in, and John hopes to
save his premium" And at once he
wrote:
Friend John-Thee Is too late. The policy
was made several weeks ago. Thy friend
RICHARD ROE.
1t was perfectly true that the policy
had been made, but had not been signed
and delivered simply because friend
Richard had put it of. So he took it
to friend John with demand for the
premium, which was paid without
further delay. and with the money was

EASY lNTIMAClES.

Why They Are to he Avoided by Young as
Well as Old Persons.
A writer in a London paper dis
courses about the danger of easy lin
timacies" that is, of giving the conf
lence to the people of whom one
knows nothing except that they are
pleasant companions when they are
met socially. 1.-The danger lies," he
says, Gin the facility with which COM
partnership of this kind is mistaken for
true intimacy, though it does not really
imply any thine approaching to it." A
woman Twill trust her life to the
keeping of man, of whose aims,
of whose standard of right and
wrong, of whose power of habit of
giving up to the standard she knows
just as much and just as little as she
does of the actors whom she has seen
on the stage, though she is deceived into
thinking she knows more, only be-
cause she happens in this case to have
been one of the actors and not merely
a passive spectator" There is more
truth than poetry in this thought. for
in nine cases ou. of ten the two persons
who come together in marriage have no
more conception each of the others
true character ard real disposition
than of those of dozen others in their
circle of acquaintance. They are sim
ply pleasant. social companions, and
that is all. There are quite as many
mistakes made in friendship through
these ''easy intimacies," though the
consequences are not as far-reaching.
Women, especially, are apt to give
their confidence to those with whom
they have been Familiarity associated
when they never proved their trust.
worthiness. 1t is one thing to have
pleasant little familiar conversations
about every day matters; it is another
to impart what perhaps touches the
inner life, and which made light of, or
misrepresented, would place one in an
uncomfortable position. or possibly
even worse, injure the reputation or
put it in the gossip's hands to do with
as they please. A real friend, true
friend, one who can be trusted to enter
the holy of holes OF your heart with
out Decorating it, is among the best
gifts that life can offer, but they are
found in small numbers and are only
proved by trial. A certain amount of
reserve, even with familiar companions,
is good thing to employ. for it gives
not only a sense of safety, but Of
security.-TOledO Blade.

Not Much Of Him Left.

operation performed by Prof. Billroth
at the Vienna Klinik is much COM
mented on. While a carrier was driv-
ing his team to town last winter his
legs, fingers. ears and nose ~ere frozen.
At the time his life was despaired of.
Both his legs had to be cut of, and
only one finger on each hand could be
saved. His nose was replaced by an
artificial one, and his ears were clip

markable composure. and. having been
supplied with artificial legs and feet.
he can now get about with the help Of
two simple sticks. It is surprising
that with one finger he is able to write
well.-Tienna Letter.
