on the southern shore of Long Island,
since a popular bathing place for New
York. but then n solitary stretch OF
seashore, with a few bathing boxes
and a temporary structure where bath

We drove out in my brothers buggy.
and as at a turn in the road | caught
glimpse of the distant sea horizon |
rose in the buggy, shouting, The sea,
the sear' and IN an uncomfortable fren-
zy caught the whip from my brother
hand and slashed the horse in wild de-
lirium, unconscious of what | was do

after more than threescore years, one
of the most vivid of my life.
And how ecstatic was the sensation
of the plunge into the breakers. holding
fast to my brothers hand, and then The
race up the beach before the next
comber, trembling lest It should catcl
me, as IL it were living thing ready K
devour me. They never come back
these first emotions of childhood, an'

Danger of Being Too obliginE.

The other evening, while attending q
lecture, Howard Tomkins observed, sit
ting three seats In front, a man whom
he recognized as an intimate acquaint-
ance. Tomkins requested the person
who occupied the seat next to him to
lean forward and poke the other indi-
vidual with his stick. The polite stran-
ger at once obligingly did so.
When the disturbed person turned
his head a little to find out the cause Of
the poke. Tomkins discovered his mis-
take-that he was not the person he
had taken him for.
Fixing his attention steadfastly on
the lecturer and affecting complete un-
consciousness of the whole affair, Tom
kins left the obliging man with the
stick to settle with the other for dis
turbance There was, as may be readi-
Iy imagined. a ludicrous and embar-
RAISING scene. during the whole OF
which Tomkins evidenced the pro-
foundest possible interest in the lee
ture.
At last the man with the stick asked
ir aggrieved and indignant tones:
Didn't you tell me, sir. to poke that
man with my stick"
81 certainly did," replied the una
Dashed Tomkins.

A story About wnberforce.

Before he became 4 bishop he had
been archdeacon of Surrey. and his old
archdeaconry became part of his lat
er bishopric of Winchester. At meet
ing of the clergy at Clapham his chap
lain told him that an old DR.. -, who
had been many years in the diocese,
was vexed at having been forgotten.
YES" said the bishop; Il have not
the smallest recollection of him, but
will make it all right and will go out
and speak to him. Which is he:" He
was pointed out, and the bishop made
his way to him:

The skiil of a Mouse.

One day a naturalist lay motionless
an a fallen log In the forest and silent
" watched an animal at play In the
grass near by. This was large
brown backed mouse, meadow
mouse, that had come out from MS
home under the log and when tired OF
play had sat up to make his toliet-
Using his forepaws as hands, the
mouse combed the white fur on his
breast and licked himself smooth ana
sleek. Satisfied at length with his ap-
pearance he began to search for food.
He did not have far to go, for Few
stalks of wheat grew among the tnick
weeds near at hand. The mouse was
SO large that he could probably have
bent the stalk down and brought the
grain within reach. II not, he could
certainly have climbed the stalk. He
did not try either of these plans, how
ever, for these were not his ways.
| Sitting up very straight, he bit through
the stalk as high up as he could reach
The weeds were so thick that the
straw could not fall Its full length, and
the freshly cut end settled down upon
the ground, with the straw still erect
and the grain out of reach. The mouse
again bit the straw In two, and again
the upper portion settled down. In
this way he bit off five lengths OF
straw before he could bring the grain
within reach of his paws. These fore
paws were very skillful little hands
and he deftly husked a grain and ate
it, sitting erect and holding 1t to his
mouth as naturally as n boy would
hold an apple.-Our Animal Friends.

THE suggestions ofJudge 1ancey
Lewis as to the assembling of a
Territorial convention for the pUr-
pose of drafting a memorial to con
gress embodying the needs of the
Territory in the way of legislation
seem to have leaped into popular
favor at a single bound. Several
meetings have already been held il
different towns for the purpose OF
endorsing Judge Lewis suggestions
and it is probable that a call will
be issued in a few days for the
proposed convention, and the Com
mercial club of Purcell has Extend
ed cordial invitation to the pro-
moters to call the meeting for that
city. If convention of the repreI
sentative men of the Territory can
be thus gotten together the RESULT
of their deliberations cannot but bS

SENATOR HAwLEY apes the royal
lists of Virginia who tried to howl
down Patrick Henry when he made
his famous speech. Senator Petit

treason. The autocracy of imper-
