Hezekiah Butterworth'S productions,
both prose and poetry, have been given
to the public through a Boston house,

A lobster. when left hiph and I

A lobster, when left high and dry
among the rock, has not sense and
energy enough to work it's way back
to the sea, but waits for the sea to
come to him. If it does not come he
stays where he is and dies, although
the slightest exertion would enable
him to reach the waves which are,
perhaps, tossing and tumbling within
a yard Of him.
There is tide in human affairs that
casts men into tight places, land leaves
them there like stranded Holsters. If
they choose to lie where the breakers
have flung them, expecting some
grand billow to take them on it's big
shoulder and carry them back to
smooth water, the chances are that
his hopes may never be realized. Nor
is it right they should be. The social
element ought not to be expected to
help him who makes no effort th help
himself. So, don't be a lobster.

Like many a celebrated author,
Taine the French critic and historian,
has a special fondness for cats. He
has even composed half dozen SON
nets to his favorite feline pets. One
familiar with his household says that
he may frequently be seen on winter
evenings sitting on the floor with n
cat in his arms, or again on his knees
before an easy chair, talking nonsense
to one Of his pets asleep there.

A. w. GLEASON,
A TACTFUL LIFE.-I know of a nj

A TACTFUL LIFE know of nice,
tactful woman, hardly more than a
bride, whose husband did not come
home one night. But he did the next
morning, and stammered apologies
about "business," ssman from the
West,' and other such matters that
had nothing to do with it. To his
great surprise and intense relief she
accepted his explanations sweetly,
unquestioningly. Another night fell.
Anxious to make further amends for
his hardness, he came in fairly early,
expecting to be met with the usual
sweet smile of his wife. : But the
sweet smile was not there; neither
was the wife nor any word of expla-
nation, nor did she return. An awful
night of it that man spent, and when
the little lady returned the next morn
ing he was ready to heap scorn and
anything else handy upon her apollo
getic head.
But she didn't apologize-not she.-
Sweetly she babe him good morning,
went about her usual duties amiably,
but vouchsafed not the slightest ex-
PLANTATION. The man went off by him
self and thought awhile
When he came back in an hour he
was changed man. He told her so,
said she did perfectly right and he
was brute. Then they made up in
the good, old fashioned way. They
said it should never happen again,
and it hasn't.
The woman who keeps her temper
in spite of knowing and insisting upon
what she wants, gains her point. That
man is just as proud as can be of his

So you are just come from Arizona,
doctor? asked Mrs. Drew, at Beacon
street dinner. I've SO wished to visit
that prehistoric land, ever since Mrs.
Heminway told me Of her work there
in anthropology and showed me the
results of her excavations among the
cliff jewellers I really believe I should
go there were it not for the out laws
who make life SO unsafe. I've often
wondered how the poor Indians man
agesto live in such place. Why, only
to- day 1 read a most shocking account
Of a drunken cowboy named Rata
Tom, who tried to rob and murder all
the people in town called Pantano,
and was himself finally shot. Don't
you think the Indians themselves
need better protection from these
outlaws?
The doctor did, and Mrs. Drew took
a second breath and chatted on.
The doctor did not hear her. He
was gazing at the cut glass and the
flowers; but his mind was far away in
that weary land where lives are
streaky like the wood agate of the
Mongallons, with the black so black
and the white so white; and he won
dered if it was civilization that made
lives gray.
He should have told Mrs. Drew
Rata Toms story, but he did not.

WHY FISH TAKE FLIES.
A Mooted Point Among tho Disciples o
Quaint Old LEAK Walton.


Quaint Old LEAK Walton.
Sir Hubert Maxwell's recent argu-
ment is TO the effect that salmon bite
at the fly from curiosity, or from mixed
motives, not from hunger. A second
. rise may be ''motived" by wrath at n
slight prick. This we think unreason-
able, says the London Saturday Re
view. The more a fsh-a salmon, that
is-feels prick, the less chance there
IS Of his coming again. The angler
may be sensible of tug and vet may
hook his prey on a second venture, but
then it is probable that the salmon
never touched the point. He got hold
OF the feathers or of the body of the
hook.
The hypothesis of his Indignation
was invented years ago, in the case %
trout, by the Spectator. Some one
argued that trout do not feel as we
feel, consequently that angling is not
so cruel as angling for the editor of The
Spectator would be. That position IS
demonstrable. The mouth of the
editor Of the humane journal is not a
grisly, horny kind Of substance. The
theOrist went on TO urge that you may
see a trout feeding in clear water. may

Stoddard's Old Age,

Very few persons are aware that New
York recently came within an ace of
losing her Nestor poet. The fame of
Richard Henry Stoddard is unique
among metropolitan bards, and his
quaint life ana ways have long en-
deared him to all who ever have seen
him going in and out of his modest lit
tie home. He does not enjoy the best
of health, and the treacherous wealth
er of the metropolis these warm hui
mid days has enervated him copsidera-
bly,. When he had an attack of illness
the other day there was real alarm,
and for a time it looked as If he
might join those great contemporaries
of his whose death has made him the
sole survivor of an immortal group.
But his own strength of constitution
brought him around safely, and the
old man is-now declared to be out Of
danger.
It is surely curious that this famous
poet should be better known to persons
outside of New York than to the deni-
zens of the metropolis itself Very few
celebrities come to New York without
paying a visit to him, and in Europe
he is, perhaps, the only versifer. now

Herdy's Unique Fame.

The literary experience of Arthur

unique among the varied ups and downs
of New York authors 1t is the lot of
most New York men of letters TO at
tain celebrity by leaps and bounds, and
then to cease TO be in vogue at all.
But Hardy has written books of which
enIy one ever received the boom of a
bensatlon, whereas all the others have
continued to sell in increased editions
year after year without ever being at
hacked or neglected. His "Passe Rose

certainly talked about good deal, has
about ceased TO be much read in this
country, and Hardy's experience has
resulted in an interesting discussion
among New York authors as TO whether

However, Hardy has achieved such
wide prominence as magazine editor.
that his fame as an author has really
been oversbadowed, which NAV account
for the unusual fact that his novels
have even wider popularity in Eng

abroad.
