A Fund of Humor.

William Winter, the dramatic critic,
is thought by some to write the worst
hand of any man living. There may
have been giants in the past, men
like Horace Greeley who surpassed
him, but no one his equal remains.
Some years ago Mr.. Winter was
travelling in Scotland, and having had
many amusing experiences, wrote an
account of them to r. H. Stoddard, in
New York. Mr.. Stoddard received
the letter at breakfast and. combin-
ing familiarity with the intuitions of
the poet. managed to make it out, and
enjoyed several good laughs. He
glanced up at Mrs. Stoddard and said:
Its from William Winter. Very
funny. Want to read it?"
You know l can never read word
of his writing" answered Mrs. Stod-
dard.
"Oh, that doesn't matter" replied
Mr.. Stoddard, tossing the letter over;

Young Johan could see his future
spread before him like smooth white
fabric. He did not need to worry over
a choice OF calling, as SO many other
young men have to do, or the best way
of earning his living. There were no
long years of study before him His
comfortable living was growing and
ripening in the fields of Holjeryd and
mcoing from sheer well-being in his
fathers barn. There would be moth
ing for him to do but sow and reap at
the right times, according to the cal
,endar. Everything he might need was
ready and waiting for him, even
wife, whom his father had picked out
for him.
Adjoining Holjeryd was another
large property, Runeryd. The owner
of it had an only child, a daughter.
Now, if Johan and Clara were to be
united in marriage, nothing more de-
sirable could be imagined, for then
hAh properties would be in the same
hands and the owner would be man
of power. The two old men had agreed
that this was to be the future of their
children, and Johan and Clara them
selves thought the arrangement fit and
proper.
At the outskirts of Runeryd lived an
old soldier by the name Of Klang, on
a small and stony farm. The old man
was fine looking fellow at the church
on Sundays, when he wore his two
medals. One of them he had received
for skill in craftsmanship, and the
other for industry in cultivating his
farm.
One day Johan's mother was taken
seriously ILL.,, and it was necessary to
hire help. Thus it happened that old
man Klangs eldest daughter came to
Holjeryd. Minna was a fine girl, but
with all her loneliness she was moth
ing but poor soldiers daughter. No
one felt any anxiety on account of
MMna
But Minna had not been in Holjeryd
many days before Johan began to fol-
low her with his eyes wherever she
went He thought she was different
from Clara-soft and graceful. clear
eyed and slender. Wherever Minna
stood or sat, Johan thought she fitted
her place excellently. He soon began
to wish Clara, her property and his
own, at the ends of the earth. No
freehold in Christendom was worth a
small farm with Minna on 1t.
When she had been in Holjeryd a
fortnight Johan was over his ears in
love with her and she with him. 1t
could no longer be concealed. Even
Johan's father understood the state
of affairs, but he only laughed.
There is good stuff in the boy" he
said, as if proud of his sons success.
Il was a woman's man myself in my
young days, before married"
soon, however, there was no more
laughing. One day, Johan said TO his
father: You will have to break with

The Departed.

The departed! the departed.
They visit us in dreams.
And they glide above our memories,
Like shadows over streams;
But where the cheerful lights of home
In constant luster burn.
The departed, the departed,
Can never more return!
The good the brave. the beautiful,
How dreamless is their sleep,
Where rolls the dirgelike music
OF the ever-tossing deep!
Or where the surging night winds
Pale winters robes have spread
Above the narrow palaces.
In the cities of the deadi
look around and feel the awe
OF one who walks alone,
Among the wrecks of former days.
In mournful ruin strown:
l start to hear the stirring sounds
Among the cypress trees,
For the voice of the departed
Is borne upon the breeze.
That solemn voice, 1t mingles with
Each free and careless strain;
I scarce can think earth's minstrelsy
VIII cheer my heart again.
The melody of summer waves,
The thrilling notes of birds,
Can never be so dear to me
AS their Remembered words.
I sometimes dream their pleasant smile
Still on me sweetly fall,
Their tones of love | family hear
My name in sadness call.
1 know that they are happy.
With their angel plumage on,
Bat my heart is very desolate
To think that they are gone.

ABOUT ST. SWiTHiN'S DAY.
Ancient Superstition That Still Lin
gers in England.

HUSICnt 'Hde St''' -''
gers in England.
st. Swithin's day was July Is and in
England there is a superstition that if
it rains on that date the succeeding
forty days will be wet and if, on the
contrary, ST. Swithin's day be fair
then the succeeding two-score days
will likewise be pleasant. The super
sttion is venerable, for one old his
torian remarks that ''St. Swithin.
holy bishop of Winchester, about the
year $50, was called the weeping ST.
Swithin, for that about his feast

tons, arise cosmically and commonly
cause rain"
Another version of the story is that
the good bishop left orders at his
death that he should be buried in the
open churchyard and not in the chan
eel. The monks, however, disobeyed
the wishes of their head and laid him
to rest on July Is within the minister,
whereupon rain fell heavily and con-
tinualy till on the fortieth day. the
offending priests became alarmed and
fastened to fulfill their dead bishops
request.
Statistics furnished by the officials
at Greenwich observatory discredit
the accuracy of the whole tale. The
figures for twenty years preceding
1861 go to show that the greater num-
Der of rainy days after st. Swithin's
day followed a dry July Is.

HE'D LULL THEM TO SLEEP.
Visionary Had Great Scheme for Use
On Pullman Cars.

One of the oldest ideas developed
recently was discovered by a man
who had advertised for opportunities
for investment. One of the answers
merely asked for an interview, stat
ing that the idea was too valuable to
be communicated by mail. 1t was
straightforward business communica-
ton and an appointment was made,
which was kept by man who might
have been a lawyer or a broker, so
far as outward appearances were con-
cerned. Only when he began to talk
did it become apparent that he be-
longed to the army OF Missionaries.
He found, he explained, that only
small percentage of those who trav-
eled in sleeping cars were able to
obtain rest, owing to the roar and rat
tie of the train. His invention was
designed to overcome this difficulty.
It was his plan to have small tubes
installed along the sides Of the cars
below and above the windows. A
slight opening at each end of the
berths would enable one to plug in an
earpiece similar to those used in pho
nographs, and thus exchange for the
rattle of the trucks soft music to lull
them to sleep. One photograph, he
explained, would supply the entire
car, and a slight extra charge might
he made for the use of the tubes.
For the cost of the patent he was
willing to let anyone come in for a
half interest, and he was much sur
prised when this generous offer was
declined.
