'i- ' * , * * * * % , * * • * , * , rri ' "k Three trnyelera met in Brnnder Pass , By the bubbling Brander SpriuKs ; They almrcd their cake and their venison , And they talked o : inaijy a thiiip Of books , of boii s uiul foreign lands , Ofatrnngennd ivunderinK lives , And by and by , in softer tones. They spoke o ( their homes and wives. "I married the Lndy.o' Lopan Brne , " Said one , with a lofty air ; "There isna in a' the North countreo A house with a better nhuro . / y Of cold and gear , nnd hill nnd lock , . " Of honses and farms to rent ; , Tharo'fl many a man has eovted me And I'm mair and weel content. 'Dream of a woman as bright as day. " The second traveler suid. * 'Dream of a form of perfect grace , Of a noblo face and head. Of eyes that are as blue as Heaven , 01 flowing nut-brown hair ; That is ray wife , and , though not rich , Oh , she is wondrous fuir ! " , . , ' . > The third one said : "I have a wife , • " * She is neither rich nor fair ; She has not gold , nor gear , nor land , Nor wealth of nut-brown hair ; But. oh ! f he loves mel and her love Has stood through every test. Beauty and gold are good , but , friends , Wo know that love is best. They filled .their cups in the spring again , And they suid , right heartily : 'flpre to the loving , faithful wife , Wherever her home may be ! " And soon they took their different ways , One thought in each man's breast ; "Beauty is good , and gold in good , But a true love is the best. " * . . _ OAPT. IMG'S PASSENGER. J J jHATE the sea. For certain reasons , howZ ever , I am compelled ! periodically to crossj the Atlantic , and on the first occasion I had a letter of intro- fcgia Ea l duction to good Cap- tain Long. "We shook hands , the screw began to move and I rushed off to my cab- in , where I remained throughout the vovasre. I believe he came to see me " often in my misery. "Visiting the sick"r at sea is a much more unpleasant , thing than on shore , remember , that 1 I didn't know , and I didn't care. 1 saw him to know him again at New York ; and in short , though , on board i his ship , he might have been its rudder for all I saw of him. AVo met on shore both in the Now and Old World pretty frequently. "It was five or six years ago , " said he one day , "and in the summer time , that the ship was making her voyage out , and a very good voy- apre. The whole wav the sea had been like a duck-pond. " Here I shook my head incredulous- ly. I had seen the Atlantic in the. condition ' referred to and felt it. "Well , I should not perhaps have said 'the whole way , ' " he admitted with a smile , "for when we were about a hundred miles from port we met with a breeze because we picked up a little sailing boat with only one man in her , who had been blown out to sea , and whom we took onboard. About half an hour after that incident I was informed that one of the passengers wished to speak with me in private upon a very important matter. Accordingly he came to me a commonplace looking man , whom I had scarcely noticed as being on board ; indeed , he was insignificant enough in every way save for the expression of his face , which certainly exhibited the most intense anxiety and distress of mind. Of course I thought he had been drinking , and in faefc was on the verge of the 'jumps , ' which is what the Yankees term rdelirium tremens. ' " 'Well , mj' man , what is it ? ' said I , severely , I have no time to throw away. ' " 'That is true , captain , ' he an1 swered , in a thin , quavering voice and with a strong American accent ; 'but your time will be even shorter than you imagine unless you listen to what I have to say to you. You will never see New York , and much less make it , unlessyou areprepaired to act on the information I am about to give you. Neglect it , and your ship will be at the bottom of the sea in' he looked at his watch yes , exactly an hour and a half. ' " 'All right , my man , ' said I. 'You may go. I'll send the ship's doctor to look at you , ' for of course I thought he was wandering in his wirs. "Then what had seemed like anxie- ty in his face became mortal fear genuine abject terror , such as no act- or could have imitated. He threw himself upon his knees , and clasping h"s hands together , besought me not to treat his words with incredulity , " 'Then why , sir , ' I replied , do you talk such nonsense about my ship ? " "Because it's true captainhe groaned. 'There's dynamito on board and clock work machinery con nected with it. As I am a living man if the thing is not at once looked to , the ship and all on board of her will be blown to atoms within the time I 1 have mentioned. ' < " Good heavens , man , tell me all , " < I cried , 'and quickly. ' 1 " 'Nay , but I daren't and I can't , ' 1 he pleaded , 'unless I have your soli eran promise that you will not betray < me. ' t ' "Well , I promise. Now , where is ' this dynamite ? * " t " 'One moment , - captain ; there i8 < time , and to spare , now , since you 1 have listened to reason , and I must * \ prove to you that , though I once t hearkened to the whisper of the dev- < "i - , ' * • . - " , ' • - • • • • , • - - fl \ , I repented and would have undone the mischief if I could. Tho ship Is insured inLondo nevermind where or how for a large sum and I havo been . employed to sink her. 1 brought- the machinery , set to this very day ( | for you have made the voyage quick er than was thought possible ) , down to Liverpool , inn.small portmanteau which was sent on board tho night . before ] she sailed , It was a stipula- tion that I should sail with jrou to see that nothing interfered with tle execution of the plnn. But I swear to you no sooner did I touch the deck than I repented. ' " 'Come at once , you scoundrel , cried , I , 'and identify this horrible thing. ' "I set twenty men to work immedi ately to bring up the luggage on the deck , which , since we had not even sighted land , astonished them not a J little. " 'Quick , quick , mv good fellows ; there will be extra grog for you , ' I said , 'if you turn the things-out with in j . the hour. That dreadful portman teau , as it happened , was at the very bottom of all a mangy , ill-look ing j thing enough , and , though small , as heavy as lead. Now just throw that 1 overboard , my fine fellow , ' said .X , 'will you be careful not to knock it ngninst the bulwarks. ' "Now that all was s.ife , as I thought < , I called the fellow into my ! cabin. 'Look here , ' snid I , 'j'ou unmitigated thief aad viili-in , there's one point in your story that wants clearing up. Your life is not very- valuable , it is true , but I dare say you Z yourself put a fancy price upon it , and that being so , how could you take personal charge of a machine that , according to your statements , was to blow us all to splinters ? How comes it , I mean , that you was on board with it yourself ? ' " 'Well , captain , ' he replied , 'you see I am a poor man , and the money was a good round sum. and asl told you , my employer insisted on my going to see that the thing was going right J with my own eyes ; there was a risk of course , but the fact is that arrangements had been made for meeting me in this very latitude. The man in the boat whom you took on board was on the lookout for me off < the ship. ' . "When we were still some way from the harbor we were met by a pclice boat , the chief officer of which demanded to be taken on board to speak with me. • ' 'Hullo ! ' I said , when we were in the cabin together ; 'no extradition business ] , I hope. There is no muri dering < Englishmen among my pas- sengers , is there ? " " 'Well , no , ' he answered ; 'but I've reason : to believe there is a citizen of the 1 United States who would neither stick * at murder nor anything else. ' "Then I thought of the dynamito , of course , and I rejoiced that the villian had been discovered without any j betrayal of his secret on my part. ] " 'You have a warrant for hie ap prehension I conclude ? ' " 'Well , no , captain , that is just my 1 difficulty , fori don't know just which man it is ; but I've an order to search the luggage. Information has come ( by wire that a whole outfit for forging j American bank-notes is be ing imported by your ship. It will not j be down below , of course , but in the man's personal luggage in his cabin. ( ' "I smelt a rat at once and I dare say looked pretty blank and bam boozled. 1 " 'According to my instructions , ' continued < the officer , 'the plant is contained < in a portmanteau of bul lock's ] hide , with brass nails around the rim and easily recognizable. ' "Of course the officer • didn't find that 1 portmanteau among the 'per sonal luggage , ' though I am bound to 1 say he looked for it very carefully and ; scandalized some of my saloon passengers ] not a little by his un welcome attentions ; nor was it among j the larger articles , though they 1 all lay exposed on the decks as if j for his especial behoof and conven ience. j His impression was , he said , that 1 his 'information' had been in correct and that the bullock's-hide portmanteau ] must be coining over on ( the next ship , which , I said , was possible ] , because everything is pos sible j , .you know , though I own 1 did not ] think it very probable. "As to the owner of the article in question < , he kept out of my way and slipped 1 out of the ship on the first opportunity. < His story was so far true 1 that he intended to keep the things 1 in his cabin to be got quietly on < shore , only the steward had ob jected j and caused it to be taken be low. ] That information had been telegraphed 1 from England to the New York police was known to his confederate < who had come out to warn him , and they would no doubfc have ] saved me all trouble by drop ping ] the portmanteau overboard themselves 1 , only it was among the other < luggage. How to get it out and j dispose of it without discovery was the problem they had to solve , which they accomplished by means of the dynamite story. " San Fran cisco Call. ifc A Conscientious Drive , "No , sir , " said a herdic driver , " 1 never run over a man , not at least a drunken man. Why should I run down a prospective customer ? With ladies it is different. I'd just as soon run over a lady as not. They never take a herdic. But the drunk en man does. He comes to me and says , 'take me home , ' and I say 'where ? ' He can't tell me , but I search his pockets and find his card or an addressed envelope and I take him home. If he has no money his wife gives it to me and thanks me be sides. No , sir. 1 never run over a . drunken man. " ' 1 ' ' / . .COv. . - .
