1t was some moments before he OBJ
tanned sufficient mastery of himself to
continue.

very fortunate connections, which gave
me welcome into the first families of

loved her and her only. She returned
my affection with true southern inten-

"Foptwo years after the beginning
of my engagement, l was almost con-
stantly at the quarries. How well I
remember my first visit to the summit
of the mountainl 1t was made with a
party of friends under the guidance of
the girl whom you saw die for me, five
years ago. She was bright, clever and
beautiful, but OF very humble birth
and, of course, ignorant. But she was
quick and anxious to learn. She inter
ested me. We became friends. loan
ed her books and we took frequent
rambles about the mountain together.

and the rescuer who had been let down
would make the rope fast about his
body He endured.
AS saw them begin to draw him up,
consciousness forsook me. When / was
revived by the chatting of my COM
panion, we started for the station. AL
though our progress was slow, we
reached the town just as dummy car
from the quarry was being pushed
along the side track to the station.
Upon it was the man who had been
rescued.
AS the quarrymen supported him in
walking from the car into the station
l caught the first glance of his face.
1t was John Hardy!
He was very weak, and did not speak
word during the whole homeward
journey. He was seriously i'll for some
weeks, and not even his promised wife
was permitted to see him. Their mar
riage was indefinitely postponed.
The ooroner's inquest over the wom-
ans remains revealed the fact that she
was daughter of the settler living in
the little cabin upon the table-land, and
was in the habit of conducting parties
of visitors about the mountain. She
was supposed to know its every point
and crevice.
Hardy was well-lnown TO the jury
men and the coroner, and upon the tes-
tinony of the two eye witnesses to the
tragedy verdict of accidental death
was rendered.
AS soon as Hardy was partially con-
valescent my visit ended. Although
his physical condition furnished ample
occasion for the indefinite postpone
ment of their marriage, was certain
that there were elements other than
health connected with that awful trag-
edy, which were still affecting his rela-

add that the sensation gave them the
same pleasure experienced in witness
ing high tragedy in playP That
may be true enough-up to a certain
point. But beyond that point, even to
the most helpless, irresponsible and
disinterested witness, the scene shakes
off its theatrical pleasure, and becomes
agonizing reality.
There are various elements which
determine this point of conveyance, in
the mind of the spectator, between the
theatrical fascination and the vital per-
sonal terror produced by the tragedy.
One element is time; another individu-
ality. With the individuality of the
participants clearly developed, and
time, the important factor in the result
of the tragedy, the emotion of terror
becomes supreme with the spectator.
Nor does the amount of fatality in
the balance at all determine the extent
to which the spectator TeaIizes the ter
ror of the situation.
For instances: 1t is well-esta blished
fact that spectator can witness, with
playhouse pleasure-when powerless to
attempt to prevent inevitable collision
the awful spectacle Of two swiftly
approaching trains freighted with
doomed human beings. The people
are concealed. The spectator knows
that they are there, knows that they
are many and that they are surely
doomed. But he does not see the dis
tinct individuals implicated, and he
feels that time holds no hope for deliv-
erance. Therefore he consciously or
unconsciously gets a kind of stage plea
sure out of the exciting spectacle.
Let me illustrate, from personal ex-
perience, the point where the elements
of time and individuality render a
tragedy insupportably and supremely
terrible to the most innocent, helpless
and disinterested spectator.
Many autumns ago, the approaching
marriage of family friend furnished
me occasion for a visit to Atlanta,
where he and his promised wife re-
sided. Under the circumstances, ex.
pected to see little of him, hut the
southern country was new to me and
anticipated seeing as much of that as
should prove of interest.
One exquisitely clear day, shortly
after my arrival, took an early lunch
and boarded the noon train for Stone
mountain.
The gentleman who shared his car
seat with me was on the same mission,
but was far better posted on the scene
which we were to visit than /. He stated
it was rumored that there was cave,
in the most perpendicular side of the
mountain, which was inhabited by
myriads of bees. AS it was discernible
only at distance, we agreed to make
wide circuit at the base of the noun
tain, to a point opposite the supposed
bee cave, and see if my powerful fielc
glass would reveal the cavity and posi-
bly, some safe way of reaching it from
the summit above.
Stone mountain is a single immense
bowlder, one solid rock rising To q
height of three thousand feet from al
almost level plain. Its three sides are
all steep, but the facing out upon the
open plain, invisible from the rail-
road, is extremely precipitous and in
places perpendicular The soil which
ages had strewn into its crevices and
upon its dizzy little table-land had

Very Particular.

A young married couple lived very
happily together. One morning, how
ever, the young wife was very morose
at the breakfast table and behaved in
most extraordinary way. The hus-
band noticed the change in her man
ner, but on being questioned by him
as to the cause of it, she would not
give him satisfaction until he finally
insisted on being told what was the
matter.
"Well," she said, at last, ''if 1 dream
again that you have kissed another

UNDER THE OAK.

Soft the wind.b blow and sunshine
In this garden which is mine;
Scarce hundred yards In girth,
Yet part OF all the earthi
World for carpet, roof Of skies,
Walls Of Natures tapestries,
Naught between the sun and me
Save the curtain OF O tree.
Here as meath the oak sit,
Whisperings come out Of tt;
Summer fanoies, half desires,
Breaths that fan forgotten fires,
Trembling little waits Of song,
Seeking words to make them strong,
Life that dies without sorrow,
Butterflies of no tomorrow,
Odors of by.gone day,
AL the sweets that will not stay,
All the sweets that never oloy,
Unembodied souls Of Joy,
Sing and tlutter, flash and go,
With ceaseless interfow;
TILL at last some happier seed
Finds the rest its brothers need,
Strikes root and grows and climbs,
Buds In words and flowers in rhymes.
Who shall tell me how it came?
Was it in this winnowed flame,
Golden-dripping through the leaves
Like the grain of heavenly sheavesf
From the voice of throstle clear
Was it filtered through the cart
Came ii thus, or did 1t come
Borne upon the wild bees hum,
That a moment buZZed around
With circle charmed of soundf
Or did Zephyr in dell
Steal it with scent as well
From some hidden flower-bell,
To instill its lifein me
With d subtle chemistry
Little knew l, but a sense
Solemn, delicate, intense,
Filled my spirit with bliss
Sweeter, holier, than kiss
Liquid, radiant unthought
That at once all being brought
Into rarer harmony,
Beast and bird and sun and tree,
Air and perfume, God and me.
Just as one whose birthright lost
Wonder.struck and passion.tost,
After many loveless day
Sails at length into bay
Where he thinks his bones to lay,
Finds, indeed an end to strife,
Not in dying but in life.
Friends and kindred, birthright, all,
With dear love for coronal.
So at length seemed at home
Underneath that distant dome,
Where the spirit holds at ease
Frank communion with the trees;
Comrade Of the boundless wind
Linked in universal mind
With all things that live or are,
From the daisy to the star,
Part for once of Natures plan,
Not the lonely exile-Man.

BROKE UP A HEALTH MEETING.
school Commi ssio ners In Long Island
City Arrested-Mayor Gleason the
Complainant.

Complainant.
LONG ISLAND CITY, July 1.-Ex-School
Commissioner J. II. Thirty, School Trustee
Whitcombe of the Fourth ward and Mr..
Samuel B. Anschell were arrested this
morning on warrants issued by Justice
Kavanagh. The complainant is Mayor
Gleason, who alleges that the defendants
broke up meeting of the board of health
and committed an assault upon him last
night. Warrants were also issued for AL
fred Nelson, who was SO seriously injured
by Gleason last night that he is unable to
leave his bed, and for Jacob Mueller, q
builder. These gentlemen were all mem
bers of committee appointed at meeting
of citizens held in Astoria with instruction
to appear before the board of health and
present affidavits relative to the
sanitary condition of the Fourth ward
school annex, which the board, at Gleas-
sons dictation, had condemned as unfit
for school purposes. When the three de-
PENDANTS were arraigned before Justice
Kavanagh, this morning, Gleason swore
that Anschell had seized him by the throat
and Nelson held his arm while Whitcombe
raised cane to strike him. The justice,
who is a particular friend of the mayors,
held the defendants on $500 bail each, to
appear for further examination on We'd
nesday next. A doctors certificate was
read in court, showing that Mr.. Nelson
was unable to appear because of his in
juries.
1t is expected that a warrant will be OBJ
tanned for the arrest of Gleason, at the in
stance of Mr.. Nelson, on charge of
felonious assault, some time to-day. This
latest exhibition of brutality on the part
of Long Island City's mayor has caused in
tense excitement, and it is rumored that
some steps will be taken to secure his
deposition from Office if it can be done.
