DRAMATIC INSTINCT,
The Desire That Influences Man in En-
belIishing Ordinary Stories.

The Desire That Influences Man I'm En-
bellishing Ordinary Stories.
There are many people who are
neither dramatists nor novolists bv
profession, but who yet have such
keen eye for EFFECT that they
may be said to be both. Like
farce-writers. such people are quick
to see a situation" and, if neces-
sary, to make one, in order to indulge
in little cheap theatrical display. Ii
would not be difficult to show that al
most every man of genius or poetic
temperament has INDUCED more or
less in this propensity; in many cases,
doubtless, without intending any harm
by the stimulation or untruthfulness.
Some one ventured to remind Alexan-
DIRE Dumas that an anecdote he had
just related was not strictly in accord
ance with the truth. NO" he said
frankly, lit was not, know; but the
story was ever so much better as told
it" The same desire has influenced,
and will influence, thousands of per-
sons in embellishing story. Being q
novelist. Dumas may perhaps be ex-
cused for giving play to his imagination
for the sake of frightening "eifect;"
and the same excuse could be urged in
favor of those novelists who, in record
ing their personal experiences"
hardly ever allow one to lose sight OF
the fact that they are story-tellers by
profession. So much of their time
is spent in continuing situations that
it is not at all surprising that they are
often tempted to stray from the paths of
| absolute truthfulness. The general
| public, however, has no such excuse.
Yet SO keen is the dramatic instinct
with many people that they contrive
''situations' with q fertility of re-
source that would make many novelists
wild with envy. But the dramatic
instinct is mostly displayed in the tell
| ing of Stories in connection with which
F'truth is" no doubt, 'a sad hamperer
| of genius, because tits comparatively
rare in real life that experiences fit in
with prcconceived notions. These
whether owing to innate ideas or from
loving study of fiction is more than
need be dCtcrmined-ar frequently ro-
mantle in the extreme. Fitz Doodle
confessed that in all the comedies and
romances he had read the hero had al
ways go-between-a valet or humble
follOwer-who performed the intrigue
of the piece; and consequently he Sc
| lected some subordinate to carry his
letters to Minna Lowe, notwithstand-
ing that he might easily have given her
them himself. There may be a good
deal underlying this little bit Of
satire. In private life the love of eff
feet is generally pernicious. Every
| body remembers that the immortal
Pecksniff always contrived to inform his
daughters of the coming of any visitor
in order that they might be found suit
ably employed; and every body remem-
bers, moreover, that those charming
girls were greatly surprised and
blushed furiously when the visitors ar

Goethe and His Doppelgenger.

Goethe, when a young man, was
resting by the roadside on one occa-
sion when he observed the figure of a
middle-aged gentleman approaching
him on horseback. There was some
thing in the features and general APP
pearance of the stranger that attracted
his attention in q marked degree, for
the face and figure seemed to be his
own, although older and more devel-
oped. In their costume, however,
there was no similarity whatever, for
while the stranger wore the robes of q
councillor of state, the young poet
wore the ordinary dress of civil life.
In the course of years afterward and
when the circumstance had been
nearly forgotten it was brought before
him again in most startling manner,
for one day while passing the very spot
where he had long since encountered
the stranger he found himself similarly
mounted and riding along leisurely and
perceived that in form and feature he
was now the very counterpart of the
mysterious horseman and, to crown the
miracle, his costume was the same to
the minutest detail, as he was himself
now councillor of state also. Bel

THE OLD FLINT-LoCK GUN.

There's battered old gun OF the time of King
George,
That hangs on my grandfather's wall;
The barrel was wrought in some rude country
forge,
And the stock-it just happened, that's all
IT'S rusted and bent, and there's nary dent
In this od-fashioned engine of war;
For fox and for pa tridge" it S not worth q
cent,
And I'm sure I'd not trust it for bar"
But, long, long ago. when my grandfathers dad
Was strapping young spront OF eighteen,
That ramshackle gun made the Red-coats feel
bad,
AS they marched through the broad village
green.
They say that my ancestor crouched meath a
wall,
And rested his piece on a stone.
And rammed it and crammed it with powder
and ball,
And peppered away, all alone,
The foe could not stop, for, like fate in the rcar
The minute-men followed en- nsaSse;
So granGdaddy's dad pesged away without fear,
Till four of the Reds bit the grass.
brave deed, yon say9 Well, I never shall
OF the family prowess-not I:
But think there are some who'd have quilted
the coast
And let the Kings soldiers march by.
I'm proud OF the flint-ock that CLEANS on the
pegs,
In the bright, fitful blaze OF the fire:
And I'll venture to say that few IN en- with legs
Would have stuck like my granddaddy's sire.
All honor to him! And when brave deeds are
sung
or the heroes whose fame we recall
Let line be slipped in for the old fint-lock gun,
And the man who perged over the wall!

burglar, plead guilty to the charge of
grand larceny, burglary and two counts

peal for mercy, weeping aloud as he told
his affecting story of evil doing, and say
ing that he would rather pass the remain>
der of his days in the penitentiary than
have his mother know that he had been
imprisoned or sentenced to be imprisoned
for single day. Harper's statement
made such profound impression upon
the mem bers of the bar present that not

Beardsley TO defend him, the lawyers
present held a consultation on the subject,
and as an outcome, Mr.. E. d. Sweeney
interceded in the prisoners behalf, plead,

him that he would suspend sentence upon
