bad as a succession of billiards would
be for the people who live in Florida

Goodness in Danger.

Lord William Lenox, in his "Recol-
iections, tells story of the GOODNESS
of the Duke of Wellington. Tho
French, with a fresh force double that
of the Duke, were closing in upon his
jaded troops, one stormy night in
Spain. Wellington completed his pre-
parations and then turning to scout
asked: How long will it be before
they can reach us 2"
Half an hour" was the reply.
Then l can go to sleep" he said,
and then wrapping his cloak about
him, he dropped where he stood in the
muddy trench and in an instant was
asleep. He woke when the bugles OF
the enemy sounded in his ears.
Napoleon, his soldiers were accus-
toned to declare, not only slept sound
~ when under fire, but even when rid
ing on horseback.
General Grant also had the same
faculty of falling instantly asleep, even
in the face of danger.
This singular physical trait is not
more a proof of courage than cause OF
ft; the brain, in those brief moments
of sleep. finds new vitality, and wax
ems ready for the conflict again.

AS they scaled the wall of ice they
slipped on the edge of the frightful
chasm. This man was at the end of
the rope. Without his weight there
was chance for the others to regain
their footing; with it, there was none.
He cast glance down at the dark
abyss, flied with fathomless SHOWS,
then drew his knife from his belt, say
ing quietly to the man next him:

On looking across to the opposite

1t was nearly five months after the
departure of old Holmes that one even
ing she slowly sauntered down the
river path where she had met and SO
often wandered, with Walker, her
thoughts and heart all full of love and
sadness for him, now; her eyes dimmed
with tears and her mind far away,
when she felt an arm clasped about her
waist and knew in that second-even
before she could turn her face around
that she was in the embrace of her
promised husband
She did turn, with appraised arms to
clasp about his neck in welcome joyous
beyond words, when she was staggered

1t was Walter, her Walter, but what
a wreck; no glorious curls were on that
shavep head, his face was pale as death,
his cheeks and form shrunken, his eyes
dim, and at his side hung an empty
sleeve.
He saw the look of terrible astonish-
ment with which the girl regarded
him, and, losing his grasp he fell back
a pace, saying:

so, my poor, poor boy" and her arms
were about him and she was crying
over and kissing him in strange
medley of sorrow and Joy.
She soon treasured him that her love
was true as of old, and then listened to
his story of how he had been in charge
of a special train bearing the Presi-
dent and Directors of his road with a
large party of friends how an excur-
sion train, run in violation of orders,
had collided with them; how he had
managed to save his party but been

Az English naturalist. Mr.. A.

An English naturalist, Mr.. A. II.
Swinton, has collected and Analysed
over one hundred notices-ancient and
modern, true and ictitious-relating to
tho great sea-serpent. He is thus forced
to The conclusion that the creature is "a
venerable sailors yarn derived from
ocular impressions, while, quite apart
from all other considerations, il is
mainly impossible that a species of air
breathing serpent should lie at the
bottom of the ocean and be so seldom
seen" He finds that the enormously
long tentacular arm of the giant squids
or calamars-distinguished from the
better known cuttle-fish by their cybn-
drical bodies-have given rise to q
sto-y of the great sea serpent.

about %. The older one called on the
younger one to condole with her, and
they wept upon one another's necks
and recalled the merits of the dear
deceased IL was astonishing how
much the old husband and the young
one had been alike in their disposition
and character-at least they both saw
distinct resemblance in every point.
Which shows that matIimony does not
really change man, nor age either
when he is dead. But they had a
most delightful time until the young
one, putting her arms around the old
ones neck, sobbed through her tears ::
Il know it is selfish of me to say so
much about my own sorrow. But,
really, do not feel that ii is so much
worse for you than for me- 1 don't

age and had no chance of getting an

The tears froze suddenly, and the
old one does not speak as she passes by.

cowboy is not really as dangerous as
he would like to have people believe.
A little affair occurred at Staten ISL
and when Forepaugh was exhibiting a
Wild West show in connection with his
menagerie.
Captain Bogardus, the champion off
hand shot, and Suspender Jack were
rival attractions, the latter being
cowboy of the most pronounced type.
They got into dispute, when Bogar-
dus suddenly seized Suspender Jack by
his luxuriant switch and slammed him
down on the hard ground with con-
siderable force, after which Bogardus
jolted the cowboys tournure with
several kicks from a well-developed
brogan.
Now, according to all the traditions
of the frontier, Suspender Jack should
have, as an overture to the subsequent
performance, shot an aperture about
the size of general delivery window
of a country postoflice into the anatomy
of Captain Bogardus. Then the IN
trepid cowboy, with whoop, should
have removed the dandruff in the Gao
tain's hair along with his reeking scalp.
For dessert, Suspender Jack should
also have bitten chunk about the size
of frog out of the Captains cheek.
This, in view of the traditional
'erocity of the cowboy, was the least
that was expected of him; but Sus-
pender Jack went back on all the ira
ditions CT the border. The cowboy
disappeared almost as suddenly as a
broken dollar bill, and he didn't stop
running until he reached the Office Of
n justice of the peace, his Wild luxu-
RANT switch swapping viciouSy in the
vacuum caused by the velocity of his
flight. Bogardus was arrested and
fined so and costs. During the ex-
animation Bogardus tainted Suspender
Jack with being a dime museum cow
boy, and still Bogardus didn't have TO
spill any of his gore.
