The Legend of the Mignonette.

The Legend of the Mignonette
E6ie Douglass P,indm in The Boston Trdnscril
In the garden grew a flower,
Humbly trailing it was found.
Bent by clustered petals downward
To the damp. cool. shady ground.
Day by day the master spied it,
In its neutral tinted dress,
Called 1t dull and hateful blossom.
Vowed to ever love it less.
For" spake he, "tis never laden
With the halo of perfume;
'Tis soulless flower growing
Where bright roses fair should bloom;
'Tis weed that mars the garden,
Plant me flowers rich and rare"
Thus he bade the keeper spade it
From his pathway everywhere.
As he spoke light supernal
Filled each corner of the place,
And the master looked and trembled
At the glory ofa face.
Smiling sadly down upon him,
With look that seemed to say,
Give this modest little creature
- OfGod's making leave 10 stay
1t was Mary-virgin mother
Like the morning. chaste and pure;
Crowned with holy rays from heaven,
That his eyes could scarce endure.
Low toward it she inclined her.
Till her lips had touched the plant,
Breathing full upon its petals,
Swaying on the mossy slant
And the air grew faint with odors
Sweeter than Arabian spice;
Then the sainted Mary vanished,
She had kissed the blossom thrice
Since that time in all the garden
Grows no sweeter thing as yet,
Than the lovely, heayen-born flower,
Than the fragrant mignonette.

Fooled by a EiIibuSter.

A. P. Hulse, late of the custom house,
tells a good story Of some fhbustering
that came under his notice years ago:
In 1859 Harry Maury, a midshipman,
who had resigned from the service OF
the United States government, was in
command Of a brig off Mobile bay. The
vessel was loaded with flibusters for
Walker and was overloaded by a revenue
cutter. All officer went aboard in the
night with instructions to seize the YES
sci and bring her to Mobile. Maury,
who was equal to the emergency, pre-
pared himself by unshackling the anchor
from the chain and fastening q lantern
to a pole. When the vessel arrived at
Dog River bar it was hailed from the
cutter and ordered to come to.
Then came the order, Let go your
anchor!!" Maury let go. "Pay out
thirty fathoms of chain!' was the next
order. Maury. raj the chain through
the hawser hole and over the rail back
on deck. He was ordered next to hoist
a light, which he did by lighting the
lantern already affixed to the pole and
sticking the latter in the mud. He then,
when all was quiet, put off down the
bay, leaving the cutter watching the
light, which it did until morning.
In the meantime the officer from the
cutter, who was in charge Of the flibus-
tering vessel, was down in the cabin
playing cards. On arrival at the n
trance Of the harbor the officer was
tapped on the shoulder and told Of where
they were and asked if he wished to go
ashore. A boat was at his service and
he took it, returning to the cutter in
time to share the chagrin of his mates
San Diego Sun.

Electricity That Kills.

DR.. G. f. Chandler of the Columbia
School Of Mines says: can interesting
misapprehension that exists in the minds
of a good many persons is concerning
the vital dangers that Turk in the pres
sure of, say, 1000 volts. The newspapers
often tell Us hat a man has been killed
by such a pressure, whereas, in fact,
such a pressure alone couldn't kill a
humming bird. | have frequently caught
in my hand sparks possessing an electro
motive force Of 100 200 volts without
feeling anything more than a very slight
burn.
''The danger arises only when the
volts are REINFORCED by a good many
amperes or currents, as when II takes
hold Of a charged wire. Then n feels
a shock that is unmistakable, because
force of a great many currents in the
wire suddenly decompose all the fluids
in the body. The salt in the blood at
once turns to chlorine gas, and the man
whose veins are charged with this deadly
poison cannot in reason be expected to
live long"
