The BELLS BENEATH THE SEA.

The sea is calm. the wind is fair.
Nor ever cloud doth lower
The good ship speeds with the blessed bells
She bears 10 Balireaux tower.
The pilot crossed his breast. aud cried:
Thank God. the harbor's near.
For vesper bells at Tintagel
Ring out their music clear.
AYE. thank the Lord for our good speed
Across the doubtful sea-
"Fool!' sneered ihe captain. thank thyself;
God holds no helm for thee"
The pilot crossed his breast. and cried.
-IiOd pardon thee once more.
And grant that we may safely como
Unto the Cornish shore"
The captains oath was on his lips
Or ever the sun went down.
And while the people thronged the cliffs
Above the harhor town.
A mighty wave swept DER the sea.
With dull and sullen roar;
The good ship trembled all her length
As she sank 10 rise no more.
Then DER the whclming waters pcaled
tAs tolling funeral knells
For those lost soulsl the soft. sweet chimes
OF the Forrabury bells
The moss creeps over Boltreaux church.
Where rings no vcsper lay:
Still waits the tower its blessed bells,
And silent stands today.
For low beneath the Cornish wave,
Where tangled wrecks lie deep.
The Forrabury bells are hid
And their sweet echoes keep.
But ever 'eainst the pillows toss.
And storm winds shrek in gsee:
Their mufiled chimes the blessed bells
Still ring beneath the sea.

A Lost Letter.

A number of years ago letter was
dropped into the mail box, at Pitts
field, by a young lady. 1t was written
to her lover, but never reached him,
and, after. some time, supposing she
had wearied of him, or transferred her
affections to another, he married. A
few years ago, when the Pittsfeld
postoffice was repaired and overhauled,
the letter in question was found in a
crevice back of a partition, and sent on
by the officials to whom it was directed.
Though he was not at liberty to re-
sumo his acquaintance with the one
who, owing to this unusual accident
was entirely lost to him, he felt it his
duty to say to persons whom he met
from that vicinity, that he deeply
grieves over the thought that the one
to whom he intended to prove true has
all these years supposed him false.

HIS HIGH DISTINCTION.
And Thereafter the School Did Not X,

And Thereafter the School Did Not Re-
port the News of the Day.
A Chicago teacher was accustomed
to devote an hour each Friday after
noon to questioning the children of
her fold concerning the news of the
week, in order that she might impress
upon them the Importance of keeping
up with current history. A single
episode, however, broke her of the
practice The very last time she did
PROFOUND the question:: "What news
have you heard during the wecls?" one
little lad became very much excited,
holding up both hands and crying: 81
know, teacher" being hardly able to
contain himself until his time came.
When it did he arose to his feet and
said, in a voice pitched to its utmost
height: why. my Aunt Tenie got a
letter yistlddy that my Uncle Cholly,
that was in the penitentiary fur all his
life, fell from the ladder he was paint
in on an broke his neck N died right
erway." The teacher colored right
red in the face and stammered: SIT is
only what you read in the newspapers
that I wish to hear of "Well, 81
chirpily spoke up the little fellow, Il
guess that got in some or the newspa-
pers, anyhow only they didn't say he
was our uncle. m none err the chill
dren had anything happen big as that
to them" Aud he resumed his seat
with all the pride that comes of high
distinction.

GyUSy Witches.

To become witch the gypsies be-
lieve woman must take instruction
in witchcraft from a witch, often for
years, and in payment must every
day give her drop of blood from the
little finger of her left hand. A de-
moniacal spirit enters the woman
after the prescribed rites have been
performed, and this spirit can, if the
witch wills it, and in the form of
some beast, do harm wherever the
witch sends him. As worm or small
snake he can crawl into the body of
sleeping mortals and cause sickness
and even sudden death. Therefore,
in sleep one must not keep his mouth
open, and with the tent gypsies it is
every ones duty to cover the open
mouth of sleeper, even though he be
deadly foe, with rag or else wake
him up.

HOW HE GOT RICH,

Story That Finds Many Illustrations In
,E, the Busiee ss World.
here could hardly have been a
{. ter contrast between two men who
thsa been chums at school and after
wards stcollege.
The\hrst had tinge of gray in his
hair, wrinkles on his brow, and was
round-shouldered from long hours
spent over a desk. He was trudging
slowly homeward.
The second was we'll dressed, and
when he walked had a more elastic
step than the first. But he wasn't
walking; he was driving as usual
There were some lines of care on his
face, but altogether he looked pros
porous and happy.
THAT mans worth half a million, u
said one of the two men who had STOP
ped to watch him drive past. "And
that man isn't worth $780," said the
other, nodding toward the one who
was trudging along on the other side
of the street. II knew them when
they were both poor" said the first.
"Both started out to become rich, and
for year or so it seemed an even
thing. Each was striving and strug-
Cling for the same end" II know,
and one failed" ''Both failed" II
mean one failed to get rich" ''Both
failed to get rich. The other went
into bankruptcy. and paid ten cents on
the dollar That's how he did get
rich"

Browning's Memory.

Browning, it would seem, had re-
markable memory. A friend of Mrs.
Crosse had told her that, in company
with Mr.. Browning and Cotter Morrison,
they were one day discussing Byron,
Of whom Browning was an intense ad-
mirer. He spoke of Byron's extraor-
binary powers of satire, and repeated
at considerable length portion of the
"Vision of Judgment" beginning with
the words est. Peter stood at the &C.
lestial Gate" When he finished Mr..
Browning said, 81 have not repeated
those lines for forty years, but they are
craven on my memory" Then he
burst out with the remark, "Byron
was one of the most wonderful men
ever created, and to think of all this
coming to an end at thirty-seven!'

KniEhted the Beef.

The famous story of the word 'sir-,
loin," or, more properly. ''surloin,' is,
of recent creation. Aking of England
the 'merry monarch" most likely
coming in hungry one. day from the
chase, had served up to him a savory
loin of beef. So delighted was the
famished king at the sight of his IA
vorite dish that he knighted it on the.
spot, and is it not known as 'sir loin"
even to this day?

Mower County transcript., 1892-01-13

In an address before the Modern Lam
guage Association of America, Libra
rian of Congress A. Il. Spofford re-
marked that the first requisite of good
style in writing was clearness, Which
is true enough. He also said that ex-
travagance Of expression was al ele-
ment of weakness in composition. which
is likewise a great literary truth But
when Mr.. Spofford continued on, and re.
marked that it was necessary to go back
to the time OF Queen Elizabeth to see
the best of which the English language
is capable, he was talking sad bosh.
The English language grows at the rate
of several hundred words a year, some
statistician has computed. With the An
glo-Saxon race improving steadily, NOV
ing forward grandly in every line of prog
ress. is it likely on general principles
that its language is degenerating, or
that popular taste is going wrong? Then,
too. if the literature of the Elizabethan
age is so superior to that Of our own,
what is the reason nobody reads it any
more? Even Shakespeare's plays do not
begin to be read or acted as much as
they were twenty-five years ago. What
nonsense people do write!
