The shades of night were gathering on

Cleveland Plain Dealer A passenger

trio steamer.

They are gone" said the passenger;
''can they have suddenly foundered?"
What did you see?" quoth the captain.
Il saw two tall yachts with their sails
widespread. They were close together
and although their spars were loaded with
canvas they appeared TO be at a stand
sill. Then they were gone"
you have seen the phantom yachts"
said the captain gravely. 1T is the second
time we have run across them this month

phantom yachts. Ell? us a short story A

American one British, contested for a
silver cup. Every other day for month

Years passed. Their hulls were loaded
with barnacles, their shrouds rotted, their
SplnnakerS were out coDWeDS. Yet they
drifted on and on, manned by a ghostly
crew, and only seen al twilight. Did you

Reed and Maine,

The Lewiston (Me) journal says:
Zone of the most interesting points in
connection with Mr.. Reeds departure
for New York is this: He will not dispose
of his residence in Portland, nor will he
sell his cottage at Grand Beach. In
fact, it is ntimatcd that Mr.. Reed has
stated quite plainly to his friends that
he still proposes to remain identified with
Maine and will for time at least main
tain his residence in Portland. lie says
that the people of Maine are the ones
who have enabled him to gain his stand
ing in the world and are the ones who
have always displayed lively interest in
his activity.
"And with all his metropolitan finish
Mr.. Reed will never be anything else than
a Yankee, not only in his mannersms,
but in his tastes. About the first ques-
ton that one of his close friends asked
him when he arrived in Portland from
his European trip and stated that he
had firmly made up his mind to resign
was.
"'But aren't you just little bit sorry
to get out? Aren't you inclined to have
n little regret at leaving such a place?
"Not the least bit in the world re-
piled the congressman, with beamlng
face. There isn't an atom OF regret in
my heart. I'm just glad to be out, and
that's all there is to it,"

for me to do?" Only one thing have you
to do, and that is to lay hold OF Christ
and let him achieve your salvation and
achieve all. l do not know whether
make Il natter plain or not. l simply
want to show you that man cannot
save himself, but that the Almighty Son
Of God can do it and will do 1t IL you
ask him. Oh, fling your two arms, the
arm of your trust and the arm of your
love, around this omnipotont swimmer
Of the cross!
Have you ever stood by and seen some
one under process OF resuscitation after
long submergence? The strong swim
mer has put him on the beach after a
struggle in the waters. To excite breath
ing in the almost lifeess body what
manipulation, what friction of the cold
limbs, what artificial movement Of the
lungs, what breath Of the rescuer blown
into the mouth of the rescued! And when
breathing begins, and after awhile the
slight respiration becomes the deep sigh,
and the eyes open, and the blue lips take
on smile, what rejoicing, what clapping
of hands all up and down the beach,
what congratulation for the strong swim
mer and for all who helped in the resto-
ration, what shouting of "'He lives, he
livcs!" Like this is the gladncss when n
soul that has been submerged in sin and
sorrow is coming to-" What desire on
the part Of all to help, and, when under
the breath of God and under the manipu-
lation by the wounded hands Of Christ,
the life eternal of the soul begins to show
itself, all through the ranks of specta-
tors. terrestrial and celestial, goes the
cry: "He lives! Rejoice, for the dead is
alive again. May the living Christ this
moment put out for your rescue, spread
ing his hands in the midst of you, as n
! swimmer spreadcth his hands to swim!'

A Living Death.

For AZ years George night, who MUIR
dered his wife in Poland, Androscoggin
county, in 1856, has been serving his life
sentence in the state prison at Thomas
ton. 1t is remarkable record, without
an equal in our state and probably few
equals anywhere. OF all the men who
took prominent part in the events
which led up to his conviction he alone is
alive today. The judge that sentenced
him is dead. His counsel is dead. The
county attorney and the attorney general
who conducted the case against him are
dead. Dead also are the court officials
and nearly all the iurymcn, and yet these
men lived a life of freedom. and his has
been passed within prison walls. He is
now So years old and is still in good
health and clear Of mind and eye. He
was first sentenced to death, and we ven
ture the opinion that he has regretted
many times that this sentence was ever

POWER OF FRUGAllTY.
Bhowing How Easily Big Fortune Can
he Accumulated.

He Accumulated.
FruRality Is the cornerstone of wealth.
Unhappily, however, there are few who
realize tho truth of this maxim, or at least
who eIemplify 1t in the practical affairs of
life. With the same prudent and economic
habits which characterized the founders Of
some of our great American fortunes,
there is no reason why thousands who are
now struggling on the ragged edge of pow
erty should not be in prosperous circum-
stances, II not indeed rich.
But tho spirit of the age is opposed to
such primitive and obsolete methods OF
money making. They belong to past
generation. Financierng is tho modern
substitute for old time saving, while e1-
travagance has everywhere taken the place
Of frugalty. Young men with ample SAL
aries and bright prospects in life, who
could easily nut away something each
month prefer either to squander their in
comes in riotous living or else make ship
wreck Of their opportunities by rushing
headlong into speculative enterprises with
out consulting the advice of older heads
Whatever may be said Of the slow methods
Of acquiring wealth which are now de-
spised in certain quarters they do not lack
the charm of honesty, and while they may
/ DOU give TIht VI COlOSSdl lDTUuueS III u slu-
gle night they are less apt to end in dis
grace and failure.
What the young men Of this generation
need to be taught is that patience is a
virtue and that corruption wins not more
than honesty. With these simple maxims
I implanted in their minds they will be con-
tent to look for wealth in the beaten paths
! of safety and not in the byways of deceit
and crookedness. Some few weeks ago
one of the leading papers of the country
published table showing the results Of
legitimate accumulation which one might
reasonably eIDect in 80 years. The table
deals with small savings only and calcu
latcs that by laying aside copper cent
daily one can accumulate $3.50 in 90 years
This amount, in addition TO actual savings
includes interest at the rate of . per cent.

Jap Stumped by KiplinE's Dialect.

A candid japanese critic falls foul of
Kipling's dialect. He writes: 1T has
been said that Kipling's ability in dialect
is hereditary. His father was a very
fine mimic. With free conscience and
black despair hereby pronounce it to be
the most unpronounceable dialect that
have ever seen spelled out. SanslSrit
must be joke in comparison, and may
be Mulvaney and his compeers spoke the
dialect just to put Pail to shame. What
/ cannot understand here is that he
makes no eXplAnation-nay, gives no ac-
count of the disjointed jawbones,
tongues helplessly twisted into rope
and the broken fragments OF the lips Of
the speakers. Kiplng is the ideal incar-
nate of the up to date literatus-that is
to say, a sworn enemy to the classics and
q perfect imp in smashing the decalogue
right and left, His popularity is not
wonderful" ~Irahove Tribune.

Tillman'a SIGNATURE.

An notes issued by the government bear
the Endorsement of the register of the
treasury and everybody is familiar with
the finely written, somewhat effeminat0
signature OF Mr. Tillman. Like that OF
Grover Cleveland, who conferred public
Office on the Tennessean, Mr.. Tillman S
handwriting suggests man entirely diff
ferent in personal appearance from his real
self He Is tall, broad shouldered and in
clned to rotundity. His linen is always
immaculate. A waistcoat cut Z shape
and extremely low allows broad expanse
of shirt bosom, embellished by magniti-
cent diamond stud, to be seen. His dia-
mond, his shirt front and his stalwart
build have made Mr.. Tillman a noticeable
figure in Washington.
Just how Mr. Tillman began the prao-
tice of sending u dollar bill or II bill Of any
other denomination to person whom he
wished to see is not definitely known, but
the friends of the register tell this story
about it: Mr.. Tillman went visiting one
evening. When he opened his card case in
response to the presentation OF q silver
plate by a servant, he found it empty.
Il haven't card with me-" he ex-
planned and was about to send up his
name by word of mouth when happy
thought came. "Ths will serve as we'll, -

ing it on the salver. "Thats not for
you, mind" added the Tennessean, de-
tecting look Of cupidity in the servant 3

stand"
But Mr.. - did not understand. He
