True Friendship.

An old seaman named Peters, stationed
on one of the United States cruisers in the
North Atlantic squadron, was a man OF
rough exterior but of warm heart Its
Warmest corner was reserved for certain
young. ensign on board the same ship,
whom Peters worshiped with unswerving
consistency. One day it happened that an
Impractical landsman, while attending to
some duty in the rigging, lost his footing
and fell into the water AS he was unable
to SWIM he would probably have drowned
had not an officer sprang after him and
calamity held him up until assistance
came A letter from the secretary of the
navy, commencing in high terms this
heroic action, was sent to the brave rescuel
and read before the assembled ship's
company
Old Peters viewed the whole proceeding
with feeling of jealousy, and, after brood.
Ing over the matter for some days, he re.
heved himself in the following manner:
Mr.. Bradley" said he, sliding up to the
object OF his devotion, chat there letter
what the secretary wrote, that's fine
thlng for young man to have. You
ought to have one, Mr.. Bradley" "Why,
yes. Peters" said young Bradley with his
pleasant smile, shat letter is, undoubted-
ly, a thing for any fellow to be proud of,
but Pm afraid don't quite see my way tc
getting one like it,
''Mr. Bradley" answered Peters, in a
hoarse tone, inviting confidence, "termor
row night, sir, I'll be in the main chains
fussin with somethin or nuther P'raps
PHI accidentally fall into the water. Sich
things have happened, rs yer know yer
self, sir. Then, Mr.. Bradley, what's tc
hinder We from jumping arter me, like your
messmate there? guess ye'd have as good
chance as him for one O. them letters
from the secretary" There's only one
difficulty about the plan, Peters," said
Bradley, preserving a grave countenance,
but inwardly much amused; unfortunate
ly, you see don't know how to SWIM"
"Sho! is that all, sir?" returned Peters, un-
dismayed; that amt nothin. I'll hold
you up till the boat comes. "-San Fran

Presence of Mind.

A newspaper correspondent sometimes
has to undergo, i'll this prosaic age of the
world, personal perils not unlike those
which, in former times, the military spy
was constantly falling into. Under such
circumstances of peril he must have his
wits about him.
The late Laurence Qliphant, journalist
and man of letters, was once the CORE
spondent of the London Times, which, in
France, was a hated paper He attended
a revolutionary meeting at Lyons, where
the population had begun to commit des-
perate excuses.
He knew French SO we'll, and had SO
cleyerly assumed the guise of working
man, that he was not suspected; but sud
denly runner was announced to the meet
ing that an emissary OF the brutal London
Times was there
At once the mob was In an uproar, and
loud cries resounded of "Cherchons-lel la
mortl la riviere!" QIet us find himl kill
himl to the river with himD
Oliphant jumped to his feet with look
of overwhelming indignation, shouting at
the top of his voice, "Cherchons-le! Moi,
je lie COMMAS de vuel" Qet's find himl
know him by slightly
Under cover of this zeal, and hunting
everywhere for the detested Engl;shman,
be made his escape.-Yenth's Companion.

The Author as a Side Show.

Is it not, when one comes to think about
it, carrying the charitable appeal to rather
a shrill pitch to ask an author to make
free contribution of himself to what are
known as authors readings? In the au-
fhop's readings what attracts is usually,
not the composition or the elocution, but
the authors personality. The authors
reading imposes upon the author the task
of exhibiting not his talents or achieve
mems, but himself; Of stepping before a
company Of curious SPECTATORS and show
ing them whether he is tall or short, fat OF
Jean, fair or dark, we'll clad Or i'll clad, easy
or awkward; whether he is the man they
have faneied him as they followed him In
his writings, or whether he Is not. So far
as the nature of the service is concerned,
the case were no different We're he called
upon to stand behind brass rail at the
Eden Musee, like the worlds rulers dana
iin Aa4, and be sefutlnizeq from crown to
corn.-Scribner's,

Favorite Prescription. She's a
stronger and happier woman
and healthy one. The aches,
pains, and weaknesses, that made
life miserable are gone-the func-
tional disturbances or irregularities
that caused them have been cured.
Face and figure show the change,
too. Health has restored the
charms that rightfully belong to
her. For all the weaknesses and
ailments peculiar to womanhood,
"Favorite Prescription !" is a posi-
tive remedy. No other medicine
for women is guaranteed, as this is,
to give satisfaction in every case,
or the money is refunded. It's pro-
prietors are willing to take the risk.
What it has done, warrants them
in guaranteeing what it will do.
It's the cheapest medicine you

give satisfaction, or your money is
returned.
You only pay for the good you
get.
Can you ask more?
That's the peculiar plan all DR..

At THE PLAY.

Amid a multitude we sat alone,
By friendly half lights screened from won
dering ,aze
Hand clasped in hand we watched the stage
ablaze
With rainbow fires-saw Richard to bis throne
Stride through his kinsmen's blood, to lose at
last
Throne, life and soul. What tragic forces
sAvayed
This world in counterfeit! Yet undismayed.
Half in dream we saw the scenes shift past
And when the curtain fell upon the strife
We turned and smiled into each others eyes
With unchecked love-as under broader skies,
When this strange pageantry which we call
life
Has fitted by, somewhere we two shall sit
Together, smiling at the close of it.
