seen about the village with him. They
met in cottages She was devoted, so
she said, to nursing the sick. 1t was

obeyed her; with the parson, whose
good will was important to the doctor

parish meetings, picked holes in his
sermons and organized the penny read

"All right. 1 will go down and get
the Seagull ready"
Frank Haughton, and his chum Wal
ter Laurence were skillful sailors, and
had spent many an hour in Walters
little sloop Seagull, sailing around the
bay, even, at times, going as far as "the
Hook" 1t was a bright, beautiful
morning, in the summer of ITS, that
these two boys of Elizabethport, N. j.,
started upon their sail.
Walter hoisted the jib and fastened
the halyard just as Frank pulled the
anchor inboard; then, as the head of
the boat swung around into the wind,
both boys grasped the mainsail hal
yards and soon had the sail spread to
the wind.
The sails bellied out, and, with Wal
ter at the helm and Frank tending the
sheets, the Seagull heeled over under
the strong breeze and went slimming
along, speedily emerging from Raritan
bay and rounding the upper end of
Staten Island The boys then came
about and pointed for the Narrows.

The boys continued, discussing what
they would and would not do in the
event of their being taken prisoners by
the British. Meanwhile the Seagull,
which the boys declared was the fast

that she deserved their boast. They

Whose cheek was like the rose of May

No! it's not she who lieth here - $780,
In awful dignity Of death,
With cold. mute lips and deafened ear,
OF whom we whisper. under breath.
And yet-so like! Her hair was gold;
Her face had such shape as this.

The sea of mingled glass and fire:

These mute lips shut the knowledge in.
And nevermore will they unclose
To tell the secrets death can win.
Have you forgotten what she said
One summer day to you and me?
About the living and the dead.

Life is a riddle none can read,
And death a mystery will remain

That wisdom she has gained, while we
Who wondered with her stand to-day a,.s
Beside her cold, still form, and see
Naught but an empty house of clay.

How hard it is to understand -s..
The weird significance of death,

THREE POPULAR ERRORS.

Made by Many Persons in Their Liv-
ing.
Three popular errors in living consist
in too, much meat eating, an excessive
consumption of sweet and starchy
foods and overeating. To the lay
mind nothing seems to. augur so
strongly in favor of robust health
as hearty appetite. Further
more, there would seem to be strong
conviction in the public mind, sancti-
fled by. tradition from time almost i'm

better he is. The quantity>of food that
many people naturally eat is, very large

logical requirements; add to this the

This was the agreed signal, and the
words had no sooner left his lips than
the matches were burst open and the
armed Americans swarmed up the sides
of the ship. ...,..'.
Capt. Henderson had given q eur
Prised5 shout at this catch of what were
indeed "strange fish," and they were far
more than he liked"
His shout and the sight of the climb
ing Americans aroused the crew of the
Deerhound. They sprang for their
arms, and, what was not an altogether
pleasant surprise to the Americans,
were Joined by company of soldiers,
who came pouring up from below, guns
in hand. This put the numbers in favor
of the British, but the Americans hest
tated not moment.
Frank had sprung for and grasped
the anchor-chain, up which he went.
followed by Walter, their swords be-
tween their teeth, and the pistols stuck
in their stbands. AS Frank leaped
down from the bulwarks his foot
caught, and he fell headlong on the
deck. One of the soldiers sprang for
ward y and in another moment would
have run him through with his bayonet,
but Walter was right behind his chum.
He had one leg over the side of the ship,
when he saw the soldier spring at
Frank. Walter whipped the pistol out,
and, thardly waiting to aim, fired, and
had the satisfaction of seeing the man
fall when he was within foot of Frank.
Frank was on his feet again in min
ute; he grasped his friends hand for q
second, without speaking, and then
the two boys dashed into the fray. In
a few minutes from the first shout, tho
deck of the ship was the scene of hot
and fierce fight.
The Americans were forward, Led by
Mr.. Trevers, while the British sailors
and soldiers were massed just abaft the
mainmast. There was not much time
for any formation, as the fight began
when the first American put his foot on
deck. It was shoot, cut, slash and
stumble. Back and forth across the
deck ragged the conflict; at one time it
seemed as though the Americans would
be driven dack to their boats, but they
sswere rallied by the cry of: Remember
Lexington!"
From then on the British were driven
slowly but surely back. The two boys
played their parts manfully, more than
once saving each others life.
+ r. Thesconflict, though sharp, as,short;
there was final rush on the part of the
Americans, and then, less than half an
hour from the time the first shot was
fired, the Americans were in full pos
session of the ship, with the defeated
British prisoners. They had been taken
completely by surprise, and lost nearly
3Ogmen, while the American loss was
but four killed and half-a-dozen
wounded. The captors manned the
Deerhound and sailed her up to Eliz-
abeth port, where her cargo was landed
amid the cheers of the whole town, who
crowded the shore.
: Frank and. Walter were the heroes of
the day, and the objects of envy of every
other boy in town. tss>'@'., g - e Il
