Mssmsrlzed Into Wealtn.

An Augusta bank cashier RECENTLY
told mo about a queer experience.
There came into his bank seedy man
with q wild look in his eyes, who said:
Il guess I'll take that money" "Whns
moneys" There's five hundred thou
sand to my credit here, amt therea''
The cashier thought he was talking
with an escaped inmate OF tho institu-
ton across the river: Il guess you Va
made mistake" said he. Then his
visitors eyes began to roll strangely;
he rubbed them with his hand, and =
sheepish expression came over his face.
''What-whats the matterp" he asked.
A moment later it came out that the
man had been mesmerized, had been
made to believe that he was rich, and
had recovered himself in. the bank.

THE DEADLY PIANO.
An EN- phatic Protest Addressed to Pare
and Instructors,

An Emphatic Protest Addressed to Parents
and Instructors,
Prof. Waetzoldt, Director of the
Royal Elizabeth School, in Berlin, has
lately entertained much-needed pro-
test against the way in which young
girls who are not known to possess any
musical ability are forced by their
parents and preceptors to spend con-
secutive hours practicing at the piano,
to their own great physical detriment
and the torture of persons who are
obliged to hear them. In Prof. Waet-
zoldts opinion, no girl should ever be
set to work at the piano-forte before
she has reached her twelfth year, and
it is to that instrument injudiciously
used in childhood that much of the
weakness and nervousness of women in
after years may be attributed. More
over, the Professor very sensibly says
that the piano should never be studied
except by perfectly healthy girls who
show a marked alaptability for the in
strument. After years of labor with an
instrument for which she is not spe-'
cially fitted, not one girl in ten is found
able to give pleasure to the listener.
The most that she will have succeeded
in acquiring is a certain automatic skill
(which not only bears no relation to
artistic execution, but is even destruc-'
tive of the capacity for genuine musical
expression He adds the obvious re-
mark that lit is neither necessary no,
desirable that we should have medic
Gre or bad pianists. but it is necessary
that our girls should remain fresh and
healthy in body and mind"
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes says that
many a tragedy which might have been
worked out in actual life has been ham,
mered out on the keys of a piano-forte.
and likely enough there is good deal
of DIR. Holmes sound sense and shrewd-
ness shown in this observation. But it
is also true that pianos themselves
have been the causes of tragedies that
ought never to have been acted any,
where. Besides this, girls are per-
mitted, and often obliged, to throw
away an enormous amount of valuable
time in drumming out Emusic" that
would be a disgrace to the most abau-
doned variety of human nature, and in
attempting to conquer compositions to
the proper. rendering of which they
would never become adequate, no mat
ter how much they might study them.
The Berlin Professor has said q wise
word in season. and word that wise
parents and instructors should give
good heed to.-N. Y. Commercial Ad-

THE TEAR.kERCHlEF.

II Il Oily trading thing to show
Just kerchfef. white rs the driven snow,
Yet many tender and loving thought
Is into its dainty st.tchery wrought; ~ .sgss ~
For the mother wove it from FAX that grew
And em;!ed In the field with its BLOSSOM blue:
She spun the thread whereof it was made,
And watcl it careful where twas laid,
That days war kisses and nights soft dew
Might bleach the web TO its whitest hue;
And then 1t was lovingly laid away
For the daughter hand on her bridal day.
Oh few are the tears by the maiden shed
On the day that her br ,dal vows are said.
They may fall rs she meets her fathers kiss
Yet her heart Is glad with her nuptial bliss.
She may fondly cling to her mothers sido,
Yet her lover claims her, his happy brd,.
She fears not to give up her fair young life
To the lcred duties and name of wife:
And there Is no grief in the tears that flow
Der the soft round cheek with its blushlng
glow.
And she smiles as she wipes them all away
With the kerchief white on her bridal day.
DaiLtily folded with tenderest care,
The young wife taketh the kerchief fair,
With scented rOse-leuves and lavender spray, :
Scarce dried from her tears it is laid away. -
There In its fragrant ami perfumed nest,
For many long years may the kerchief rest.
They will bring in their train both joy and voc
AS Time goes on in his ceaseless flow.
But Love still maketh each burden light.
And the home where hedwells is ever bright.
And the wife still smiles as she smild the Qsy
She laid her kerchief with smiles away.
But Time will pass and the years go on.
And each day tndeth some duty done,
And the kerchief lies in its scented fold,
But snow has sprinkled the hair of god;
For the fair young bride is matron now, r..
And wrinkles furrow the once smooth brow,
And her step is no longer free and light,
And the hair is a crown OF silv.ry white
But her children arise and Call her best g..
And her husbands heart in her doth rest;.
And tho kerchief lies asStwas laid away
BY the maidens hands on the bridal day
But there comes day when, in peaceful rest,
Those hands lie crossed on quiet breast,
When the tender eyes are forever shut,
And the loving lips are forever mute.
Then, ere the face that they loved is hid
From mortal sight meath the coi1in-lid
The kerchief stained with tho young brides
tears,
So carefully guarded for many years,
Is gently laid DOR the features pale;
AZ Deaths cold bridal u bridal vail!
And the kerchlef, laid for so long away,
Hides the calm, still face on the burial day.

death bothered him considerably. The
ship had not, however, been q day at
sea before a most remarkable and for
tunate circumstance occurred. Sir Toby
was light sleeper, and was not very
much at home in his Uncomfortable
quarters; so the first night after leav-
ing Queenstown he paced the deck for
several hours. In the course of his
nocturnal rambles he kept meeting a
man whom he could not help noticing
from the very fact that he seemed des-
perately anxious to avoid his, Sir
Toby's observation. "Some thief or
forger bolting," thought Sir Toby. and
he kept his eye on the man from idle
curiosity, and gradually fell to lodging
about the deck and watching him
closely. Presently the man. when he
thought himself unobserved, did q very
strange thing; he took off his coat and
laid it carefully on the deck. Then he
glanced hurriedly round, mounted the
bulwarks and leaped into the sea. One
of the ships officers just caught sight
OF him as he disappeared; an alarm
was quickly raised, and the engines
were reversed. No one had time to
notice or think of the coat; but Sir
Toby always prided himself on his
presence of mind. Instantly he seized
it. tore off his own coat. which con-
tanned the pocket-book and the papers,
laid it down on the deck and put on
the coat left behind by the suicide. It
was a master-strOke. veritable In
spiration, and. Sir Toby retired to his
berth knowing that the odds were at
least hundred to one against rescue.
At his leisure he examined the pockets
of the strangers garment; the only
thing of Importance it contained was a
letter. apparently addressed to the
dead man. wife. "As thought, said
