The schooner Kennebec which left
Augusta, October is, for Patchogue, L. l.,
has been in hard luck and several storms
have hindered her voyage. She reached
Fire island, November 2, but gale
sprung up and she was blown out to
Montauk point. Then the gale abated,
and Capt. War; again started for
Patchoguc The vessel had no sooner
reached that point for the second time
when another gale came along and drove
the little boat back to the extreme edge
of Long Island. Capt, War; then gave it
up in despair and sailed through Long
Island Sound reaching City Island for
the Second time on Saturday last.

How Poe Sold "The Cells"

Henry Sartain, son of the famous en-
graver. tells this story of how in 1851
Poe's poem of The Bells" was first
published in Sartain's Magazine:
poe came into the Office one day,
and handing father a stanza in manu-
script asked him what he thought of it.
Father looked 1t over and said he
Thought it pretty good. is it worth s5?'
asked Poes Father said he thought it
was and paid him the moneys The poem
was the first stanza Of The Bells, A
week or SO later Poe again sauntered
into the Office, with the remark, Well,
John, | see you haven t printed my poem
yet. Father replied that he had not be-
OF lack of space. We'll, I've got
another stanza here. Will you let me
have a five on it?' The man looked SO
utterly wretched that father paid him
the money and took the stanza. Still
another installment Of two additional
staazas followed within a month, and
then it was that the poem was first
printed. "-Philadelphia Record

THE DREAMER.

When l am sleeping il my bed,
The little people in my head
AL sport md f%rolic, dance and play
As they never do by day. ~
They play at being king and queen
Or catci ing fairy folk unseen.
The act out giant, troll ar gnor-e,
Or in far Afric's forests roam.
They go with S,ndbad on his trips
Or take command OF pirate hips
And capture galleons of Spain.
Pearl freighied. on the Spans h main.
Yet each n still pretends he's mo.
While | am sound asleep, you see.
They play, | Iun and shout and leap
And yet I'm lying fast asleep.
They have such jolly lots Of fun
And SEQ such sigats. Yet never one
Will wake me up that | may 10
To share the joys that p.ease them SO.
And If wake and try to hear,
Or at their frolics try To peer,
Then all the sly things in a trice
Are quiet and demure rs mice.

Flo vas n little RAN, Int his firm,
orick step and erect head showed that
bo weighed l6 ounces to tho pound and
he'd all the confidence of a mar weigh
ing 200 pounds.
Ho stopped on tho corner till @ street
car came along and stepped aboard.
The car was full, and several people
wc,e standing. Ho took hold Oh q strap
ond looked over the crowd and SAW that
several women were standing, while Il
number of men were occupying comfort
able seats.
IL riled him to see it, and when his
eyes fell upon u palefaced little woman
holding onto a strap, while a large, lazy
looking man sat neal by, he could not
remain silent.
sSee here" said no to the bic man,
there is a lady standing. while you
have a seat"
YES" said the big man.
well, don't you think You ought to
give up your seat to this woman, who
has probably been hard at work during
tho day?''
NO"
"You don't?"
II do not"
'rWell," eaid the little man as he
braocd himself, II do, and / am going
to yank you clean out Of this car"
He grabbed the big man by the collar
and proceeded to drag him off the seat,
but was interrupted by the woman. whn
grabbed him by the hair.
"Hold on" cried the little man.
"That's what I'm doing" said the
woman.
But I mean let up on this. What
do you mean by attacking me?'
Look a-here, " said the female, ~
didn't ask you to get me a seat. Besides
/ want you to know that man you have
hold Of is my husband"
The little man let go Of the big man,
and the woman let go her hold on the
hair, and order was restored. but the
little mar was quiet until he reached
the end Of his route, and when he left
the car he was heard to nutter. .'And
such is life. "--Peck's Sun. ~

A Picture Of webster.

/ shall always remember the first time
I saw Mr.. Webster and the impression he
made Upon my then youthful mind. 1t
was at a gathering in Faneuil hall. AS he
rose and stepped forward amid tho tumul-
tuous applause / noted the broad chest,
across which the blue coat was fastened
with shining brass buttons, his large head,
broad forehead, cavernous eye sockets, In
which shone the deep, solemn looking dark
eyes; his firm set lip and pondcrous jaw.
And when the solemn hush fell on the as
scmbly, as he stretched forth his right
hand and began, the deep, melodious
voice ranG through tho hall like the mu
steal bass notes of a church organ, his
%enunciation clear, emphatic. strong, and
The compass Of his voice filled the hall. He
fairly rcveled In magnificent sentences of
powerful thought, which, as Everett says,
towering in accuniulative grandeur, n
Ebove the other, as II the orator strovc,
fitanlike, to reach the very heavens them

BLIND cHILDREN's IDEAS.

The Queer Notions They Have and How
They Express Them.
DR.. Anagnos told me some amusing
stories about the quaint old way that
blind children usually have of express
ing themselves. This is due to tho fact
that blind children are thrown almost
altogether for companionship with
grown people and SO unconsciously they
imbibe the same OF, speech.
A short time ago a little child was
entered at the institution by its aunt,
who was a schoolteacher. When she left
the child, she said, Now, I shall ex-
pect you to get the matron TO write "a
letter for you to me before very long"
A short time passed, and tho matron
said to tho little girl. Isn't it about
time that we wrote that letter to your
auntie?" Tho little mite said, Now.
that is what | should style a coincidence,
for l was, just about to remark upon the
necessity of forming my ideas at once. "
AT this same institution / was much
interested III watching the little ones
write. They placed the paper upon a
board of raised lines, and guided by
them wrote All even, well formed hand.
| picked mp a composition just finished,
and it was so dainty and fanciful that

THE PREACHER.
Do you know who the preacher is.
