THE ROYAL NOSES.

Manchester Times.
The Sailor Prince, as Prince George
is often called, is reputed to be gay
and sociable young man, good natured,
merry, and very democratic in his tastes.
When both he and his brother were at
sea in the Bacchante he displayed, in
spite of his being seasick with unsailor-
like frequency, a marked aptitude for
the naval profession. He was on friend
ly and agreeable terms with the other
young officers on board, and after a
time, finding that each of them was
was known by some handy nickname,
he allowed them to drop his formal title,
and answered readily to that bestowed
upon himself. He was known simply
as Sprat; and his brother with equal
good temper accepted the name of Her
ring. But out of the familiarity of
the princes with the other gay young
midshipmen arose several ridiculous ru-
mors, one of which was that the royal
middies had allowed themselves to be
tattooed by their comrades tat
tooed upon the nosel Each of them, it
was stated, had allowed his princely
countenance to be adorned upon its most
prominent feature with broad arrow,
done indelibly, the one in blue and the
other in red ink.
In England the broad arrow is the
the recognized symbol with which the
government property-including army
wagons, mules, provision bags, and
the garments of convicts-is regularly
stamped That the princes should have
allowed themselves to be dedicated in
such a burlesque manner to the service
of their country was an idea highly dis
pleasing to the British public; for the
story, absurd as it was, found many who
accepted it as truth. 1t was so absurd
that it went for some time uncontradict-
ed, no one officially able to deny it sup
posing that it would be seriously re-
garded. The Bacchante, moreover, was
at that time halfway around the globe
from England, and it was not known to
her officers that the story had made such
commotion there. But at length an
English official in Australia communi-
Gated with the ship, and having received
a formal denial of the truth of the story,
cabled the information to London, and
the next day the Times published in its
columns an authentic refutation of the
charge, and gravely assured its loyal
readers that the royal noses were safe
and unadorned.

"BILL" NYE'S WEDDING JOURNEY.
Chicago Mail.
A personal friend of Bill Nye, the hu-
morist, who asked that his name be not
mentioned, told Record reporter a
story of an incident in Nye's life.
"For long time after Bill was mar
ried," he said, she was very poor and
had hard work keeping the wolf from
the door, but at last his worth was re-
cognized, and he began to reap the re-
ward he so well deserved at the public's
hands. He was on lecture tour, and,
as its success was much greater than he
had anticipated, he wrote to Mrs. Nye
to come to him and take her wedding
tour, for when Bill was married he could
not afford that luxury. She telegraphed
that she would join him at once, and
set out to do so, her journey being one or
two days, as he was in the West, some
where beyond Chicago. Two hours be-
fore the train was due at the little town
where she was to join her husband he
received a dispatch saying that both his
children had been stricken down with
scarlet fever, and had been moved to an
isolated house, mile or so from their
home, where they would receive proper
attention, but could not be seen by thier
parents. 1t was great shock to Bill,
and all he could do when his wife ar
rived was to take her aside and tell her
the sad news. They took the first train
back, and for several weeks Bill remain
ed at home with her, both suffering ter
rible anxiety, as the children were des-
perately i'll. AS soon as they were able to
listen to the reading,th little ones got
letter every morning from their father,
telling of the wonderful things he and
their mother were seeing out West, thus
not letting the youngsters know that
their mothers wedding journey, in
which they had taken vast deal of in
terest, been broken up by their sudden
illness. Bills unlimited imagination
made the letter writing an easy task, and
their daily arrival kept the children in
such good humor that when the turn
ing-point was reached, and they began
to mend, they did so at a rate that as
tonished the doctor in charge of their
case. Subsequently Mrs. Nye had her
wedding journey"
TOO ENTERPRISING BOOK COLLECTOR.
Pittsburgh Bulletin.
There used to be book collector in
this city, writes our New York CORE
spondent, who was the terror of all who
knew him. He was we'll to do and a
very learned man. He was great buy
er of books and owned fine library, but
nobody else's library was safe if it con-
tanned book he coveted. For long
time his victims did not suspect
him. He would call, spend an hour or
two among their books and go away.
Finally one bibliomaniac, who had suf-
fered most severely, had his suspicious
aroused. Even then he dare not utter
them, so he went to his lawyer about it. |
The lawyer had him make out list of |
the volumes lost. They were all of ex-
treme rarity and great value. Armed !

Memories of Annie Erwin
CherrX.

She hath no need OF this frail flower of song
bring to lay upon the alter, where
Are heaped sweet mem'ries Of her tuest
worth,
But yet, all tenderly place it there.
Fen as bird, where trilling forth his plant
In mournful threuody upon the air,
Knows that no piping note will ease his
breast,
Yet sings because the song is there.
So |, altho' know il cannot soothe
Those saddened hearts bereft OF one SO dear
Must sing Of what | treasure in my heart,
Altho' the song be not so sweet and clear
As those loved notes that mem'ry sings to me
When tenderish touch swakes her harp, to
tell
OF earth's sweet how'r,whose bloom by death
despoiled
Yet tairer blooms where sinleis angels dwell
No empty words or marble shaft can tell
Her worth. On loving hearts is carved her
praise,
The fairest monument that merit claims,
And none that naught but worth alone can
raise.
Twas vain to question things beyond our ken
Or seek with finite minds to understand
The awful mysteries behind the veil
That, ne'r is lifted saves by deaths dark hand
Our Father pityeth all, yet most | hold
The faithful heart that cen amid unrest
Accepts "the evidence Of things unseen"
Acknowledging that all His ways are best.
