In GENERAL.
The Old Mans Boy.


IN Sleepy Hollow graveyard, when the long
day was done,
I sadly unused above the dust that once was
Emerson,
And where c. ~essing zephyrs the clustered
greenery wave
l stood in chastened reverie at Hawthorne's
quiet grave.
On this green hill, meath sun and stars, will
sleep from age to age
The dreamer in his dreamless sleep, the mys-
tic and the sage;
The best, the crown of all her years, our west
ern world can show,
The fullest beverage of our time Is buried here
below.
They sleep, nor heed the winter storm, nor feel
the summer breeze.
They sleep, but the strong words they spake
are blown DER all the seas.
turned away where bending grass DER hum
bier burial waves,
And then beheld gray old man who walked
among the graves.
''Great men are buried here" said. He wiped
q falling tear.
''Great men," he sighed, 81 know, but then my
boy is buried here.
God gave them strength and length of daystill
all their work was done;
MY boy-my boy we buried here before his work
begunl"
The dreamer and the mystic-I left them to
their faue,
And silent lef the poor boys grave, the grave
without name.
Their home is in the thought of men in nations
wide apart,
The boy finds love as warm as theirs in his old
fathers heart.

How Tom Reed was Admitted
to the Bar.

Mr.. Reed soon gave up school-teach-
ing, and, thinking that a young man
would have better chance out West
he went to California. Judge Wallace,
aft rwards chief justice of California,
examined Reed for adm ssion to the
bar. 1t was in '63, during the civil
war, when the legal tender act wa: much
discussed in California, where gold
tasis was still main aimed, that Wal.
lace, whose office adjoined &c one
where Reed was studying, happened in
one day and said, MIR. Reed, l under
stand YOU want to be admitted to the
bar. Have you studied law?" " Y S,
sir, studied law in Maine while teach
ing" Well" said Wallace, 81 have
one question to ask. Is the legal teL-
der act c)nstituti )nal?' Yes said
Reed. you shall be admitted to the
bar" said Wallace. Tom Bodley was
asked the same question, and he said
"No." " We will admit you both, for
anybody who can answer cff-hand a
question like that ought to practice law
in this country. "-McC hWe'S Magazine

II Would Stick to the Last.

"When had my shoes fixed the
other day" said a man, Il had to
have one of them patched. You know
they don't sew patches on nowadays;
they paste 'em on in some way, and
they stay knew this well enough,
but when / went for my shoes and
looked at the patch | was thought
less enough to ask if it would stay
on. The shoemaker didn't answer
me in words, but in look of about
one seconds duration he conveyed
to me the intelligence that the up
pers of the shoes might part from
the soles the soles might drop away,
and the heels be left by the wayside,
but that patch would never come
off ."-Ne,C York Sun

Mrs. HOwe's Ready Wit.

The celebrated Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe of Boston has keen and ready
wit, which does not appear in her seri-
GUS and earnest platform speeches.
There is an old Boston story of Mrs.
Howe which we venture to say has
never got into print Before the days
of late dinners and afternoon teas, she
was supping one evening with certain
Boston fam ly - father, mother and
aughter-who, according TO general
belief, had such rich blue blood in their
veins that it could only circu ate very
slowly. They were so excessively b rs
ton Sc, that the well-springs of human
sympathy were dried up within their
DO 'oms. After Mrs. Howe had taken tea
viii this well-bred, but chilly ci Gle she
went to the house of a friend and was oh
ser' ed grooming closely over the fire
VIII, h burned on the hearth or possib y
in the crate, for it WAS years ago. "What
maxi 8 you so cold?' asked her friend
"Who wouldn't be?' replied Mrs.
Howe, with little snap, Who
won dn't be after spending the evening
with the Tete Noire, the Mer de Glace
and The Jungfrau?" The Tete Noir
in witzerland, suggested the family
name as well as the fathers facial APP
pearance. The Mer de Glace carried a
double pun. 1t is the name of the
great Swiss glacier, Sea of Ice, and so
far as the pronunciation goes might be
4" mere de glace or the mother made
of Ice" The Jungfrau, or "young lady,"
is of course another icy peak in Syit
zerland. The Timely One does not
know of any more elaborate or more
adroit pun or set of puns in any Ian
guage. And woman was the author.

To Rescue a Drowning Man.

"A swimmer must get at the
drowning man and turn him on his
back. If he is quiet, support him by
the head If not, he must be gripped
just above the elbows so that he is
unable to impede his rescuer, and the
rescuer of course uses only his legs"
A much safer method for both
concerned is for the swimmer to put
hisaleft arm. ,hind tightly round the
drowning nj. so that the rescuer's
arm is placed across the drowning
mans chest, while the latter's back
is resting firmly against the swim
mer's chest.
This leaves the drowning mans
head and shoulders out of the water,
and, moreover, from his position in
the firm grasp of the swimmer he at
once becomes assured of his safety
and ceases all struggling as by in
stinct But in any case the rescuer
is perfectly safe from his deadly
embrace, H." and it is impossible to eff
fectually embrace, deadly or other
wise, any lie TO whom ones back is
turned.
This mode of rescuing leaves the
swimmer the full and free use of
both his legs and also of his right
arm for propel1ng purposes, the legs
being used alternately as in tread
ing water, and the arm as a power
full scull or as an oar, but without
lifting the arm out of the water.
This gives a good speed which, with
little practice, may be kept up for
quite considerable distance
The above is not merely theoret-
ical method of life saving, but an
eminently practical one and in use in
at least one of the continental ar
mics" Gf, alack the Danish army of
today may be ranked among these).
The subscriber has himself from per-
sonal experience of rescuing found
the method good Besides, the meth
cd is so easy of performance that a
boy 13 or IA, if he be a fair swim
mer, may without difficulty take
ashore full grown man.
OF course if the person to be res
cued lis reasonable and keeps cool, "
many other methods might be en-
ployed, as, for example, the one sug-
gested by Mr.. Henry, "to turn the
man on his chest, his hands resting
on his rescuer's shoulders. ID. ObeI
