NEW YORK, April S.-The attitude of the dry
goods market is still waiting one. War matters
still engross the attention of both buyers and
sellers to large extent and the former are still
slow to do trading in any line. The attitude of
sellers is also a waiting one. Staple cottons are
the subject OF a slightly better demand at the
close of the week than was the case at the open
ing Trade passing is by means heavy, how
ever. Brown goods are not in the brightest figure
of the market Print cloths are still dull and
quiet Prints are generally quiet and unchanged.

LIE HEART OF THs YEAR.

We have ssihonee the heart of the year;
And we ask as our pleasures abound,
If In all the glad years we have found,
There was ever another so dear?
Was there ever such verdure before,
Or such fair fragrant lilies as these,
With whole meadows of daisies to please,
Or of fruitage so lavish a store?
And we think how we watched for the
spring,
How we hailed the first bloom with de-
light,
How we questioned by day and by night
What the new year, the strange year would
bring.
Ard her heart she has shown us, and oh!
There are pleasures and treasures Of
worth,
And she scatters them over the earth,
Where the feet of her lovers may go.
Ard we follow, like children DER blest
With more gifts than they see in their
dreams,
And we linger by forests and streams,
And drink of the fountain of rest.
Oh, year, that is bonny and sweet!
For thy blessings so lavish we fain
Would thank thee again and again,
And pour out our love at thy feet.

CHAPTER III.-CoNTINUED.

The poor captain raised his eyes, and
at one look the rum went out of him,
and left him staring sober. The express
sion of his face was not so much Of ter
ror as of mortal sickness. He made a
movement to rise, but do not believe
he had enough force left in his body.
Now, Bill, sit where you are" said
the beggar eff can't see, L can hear a
finger stirring. Business is business.
Hold out your left hand. Boy, take his
left hand by the wrist, and bring it
near my right"
We both obeyed him to the letter, and
I saw him pass something from the
hollow of the hand that held his stick
into the palm of the captains, which
closed upon it instantly.
and now that's DONE" said the blind
man; and at the words he suddenly
left hold of me, and, with incredible
accuracy and nimbleness, skipped out
of the parlor and into the road, where,
as | stood motionless, could hear his
stick go tap-tap-tapping into the dis
tance.
thecaptain seemed to gather our senses;
but at length, and about the same mo-
ment. l released his wrist, which was
still holding, and he drew in his hand,
and looked sharply into the palm.
Ten o'clock" he cried. six hours.
Wen do them yet, and he sprung to his
feet.
Even as he did so. he reeled, put his
hand to his throat, stood swaying for
a moment. and then, with a peculiar
sound. fell from his whole height face
foremost to the floor.
I ran to him at once, calling my
mother. But haste was all in vain
The captain had been struck dead by
laundering apoplexy. 1t is a curious
thing to understand, for had certain
" never liked the man, though of late
] had begun to pity him, but as soon
as l saw that he was dead, burst into
a food of tears. 1t was the second
death l had known, and the sorrow OF
the first was still fresh in my heart.

Search Szfsa, some of you sinking
lubbers, and tie rest of you aloft and
get the chest" he cried.
/ could hear their feet rafting up our
old stairs, so that the house must have
shaken with it. Promptly afterward,
fresh sounds of establishment arose:
the window of the captains room was
thrown open with slam and jingle
of broken glass; and a man leaned out
into the moonlight, head and shout
ders, and addressed the blind beggar on
the road below him.
Pew" he cried, they've been be-
fore us. Some ones turned the chest
out allow and aloft."
''Is it there?" roared Pew.
'The moneys there"
The blind man cursed the money.
''Flint's fist, I mean" he cried.
''We don't see it here nohow." re-
turned the man.
''Here. you below here. is it on Bill ?"
cried the blind man again.
At that another fellow, probably ne
who had remained below to search the
captains body, came to the door of
the inn. "Bill's been overhauled
already" said he. "nothin' left
Its these people of the limits
that boy. 1 wish L had put his eyes
out!" cried the blind man, Pew. ''They
were here no time ago-they had the
door bolted when I tried it. Scatter,
lads, and find 'em."
''Sure enough. they left their glim
here" said the fellow from the window
Scatter and find 'em! Rout the
house out!" reiterated Pew, striking
with his stick upon the road.
Then there followed a great TODD
through all our old inn, heavy feet
pounding to and fro, furniture all
thrown over, doors kicked in, until the
very rocks reechoed, and the men came
out again, one after another. on the
road, and declared that we were no.

same whistle that had alarmed my
mother and myself over the dead cap

audible through the night. but this
time twice repeated. had thought it
to be the blind mans trumpet, so to
speak, summoning his crew to the as

signal from the hillside toward the
hamlet, and, from its effect upon the
buccaneers. signal to warn them of
approaching danger.
There's Dirk again." said one.
''Twicel Wen have to bulge. mates
Bulge, you skulk!" cried Pew.
''Dirll was fool and coward from the

blamed my poor mother for her honesty
and her greed, for her past foolhardi-
ness and present weakness! We were
just at the little bridge, by good for

was, to the edge of the bank, where,
sure enough, she gave sigh and fell
on my shoulder. 1 do not know how

that our captains Shipmates, above all

remain much longer in the house; the
fall of Goals in the kitchen CRATE, the
very ticking of the clock, filled us with
alarms.
The neighborhood, to our ears,
seemed haunted by approaching foot

OF the captain on the parlor floor, and
the thought of that detestable blind
beggar lowering near at hand and
ready to return, there were moments
when, as the saying goes, L jumped in

Bare-headed as we were, we ran out
at once in the gathering evening and
the frosty fog.
The hamlet lay not many hundred
yards away, though out of view, on the

The Very MN.

Just before a recent dinner given in
honor of colonial magnate, young
swell, whose chief claim to distinction
seemed to be the height of his collar
and an eyeg!ass, addressing stranger,
said:
''Beastly nuisance. isn't it? Spoke to
that fellah over there-took him for a
gentleman-and found he had ribbon

"Oh, no." replied the other; that's
Blank, the guest of the evening"
'Dash it all, now! is it?" said the
astounded swell. Look here. old fel-

you mind sitting next me at dinner
and telling me who everyone is?"
Should like to, very much replied
the other man; ''but you see l cannot
