THE SEXTON OF THE SEA.

That marks , the spot whore your lovct

You brins them emblems with never

For the dead beneath the sea.
For every ship that the hands of men
Have buHdiul with chart and wheel ,
The bones of men in a hundred-fold
Arc laid beneath its keel.
A canvas shroud and an iron bar
At the weary head and the wasted feet. .
Ami lo ! from the deck they move away ,
From the hearts that throb and beat !
Soldiers and sailors and captains grand ,
13nbos with a mother's breast
Wet with the lips tliat will touch no more ,
Come down in my arms to rest.
And I lay them gently alone lo sleep ,
Where the bed of the sand is clear ;
And none may wander , and none shall
stray.
For I keep them , oh , so dear !
And hark ! When the bell-buoy tolls at

Above llio wave where the fishes swim ,
You may know that I keep my Father's
watch.
For the day I shall give them back to
Him !

is my particular forte ?
WHAT comedy , sir , though if
any one had told me that I'd
make a hit in that line when I first
went upon the stage , I'd have felt
much insulted.
It doesn't make much difference now
what my aspirations were years ago ;
still , the shades of Hamlet haunted
my dreams then , and I was possessed
to shine as Itomoo. Humph ! The man
ager cast me for second grave-digger
in tiie first and Gregory in the second.
How well I carried the parts out I can't
tollI know I was never invited to do
the anelancholy Dane , neither was I
ever asked to clasp a fair Juliet in the
dim-lighted chamber of the Captilets.
1 became reconciled to disappoint
ment after awhile , and , after struggling
through the lesser characters , I finally
was given the position of leading low
comedian in the stock company. Per
haps you'd lake me for anything but a
' low comedian. How fairly well I do
the business , the bills tell that.
In the year 1SGO I was playing in
a stock company in New Orleans , and
the city was wild with rumors of the
dawning conflict. As the company
was composed of a number of Northern
pcopli > , ' many vacancies were created
by the deserters who hastened home
ward. The first to leave Avas our lead
ing niau , and the manager was anxious
to secure a competent successor , who
soon presented himself in the shape of
a line Texan , of much reputation
among the ranks of amateurs. He was
a tall , wi'H-built chap of 21 or 22 , pos
sessing ono of those peculiar voices ,
such as Hal Montague's , not rauty ,
strong , but plain , distinct , and pleas
t ant ; in all , well qualified for the ren
dering of juvenile leading parts.
I took to the youngster from the
start , for I plainly saw that he was one
of those talented chaps who , if they
fall into judicious hands , can be made
much of as well as spoiled , if they
come in contact with old stagers.
For some time back I had noticed
that the heavy man had been smitten
with the charms of our leading lady. I
also saw that she did not favor him in
the slightest. When her part made it
necessary for her to come in contact
with him I saw a shrinking as of more
than feigned disgust , and off the stage
she treated him pretty much the same
as on with scorn and loathing.
Well , a short time after the new leadIng -
Ing man came there sprang up between
him and the heavy man an enmity. I
was standing in the wings one night ,
waiting for my cue , while we were
playing one of those good , old-fashion
ed melodramas ; lover had a secret foe
who is endeavoring to win the good
graces , fortune and hand of the fair
one , and all that sort , by underhanded
ways. Discovery of the false friend
and secret foe follows , and the usual
duel takes place. Of course the trai
torous foe falls , and the curtain drops
while the victor clasps the fair one to
his breast.
I was waiting my cue , as I said. The
handsome young leading man was
bending over the leading lady , his hand
searching for hers , her face against his.
I was watching all this , and I saw it
was more than stage love. It was the
genuine , pure article. It was my busi
ness to rush in just then , and thus
cause a great deal of commotion. I
heard a muttered : "Curse him ! " I
turned quickly ; it came from the lips
of the heavy man , who was standing
at my elbow. Such a look of fiendishness -
ness upon a human face I never before
saw , and as his was ugly by nature
without the added features of the
makeup , he looked indeed like a devil.
The play passed off smoothlj' , as us
ual ; the hero and traitor met , the duel
took place , and the regular denouement
followed amid the applause of an ap
preciative and satisfied audience.
I kept my eyes open after that , for I
knew there was something in the wind
destined , if possible , to work wrong
against the young leading man , who
by this time had become a prime favor
ite among the members of the stock
company the heavy man excepted.
About a week after I had witnessed
the villain's rage , happening to pass by
his dressing-room door , I heard a muf
fled , clinking sound , as of some metal
lic substance coming In contact with
the like. I drew nearer , placed ray eye
to the keyhole , and peeped through.
The man was seated within range of
my vision , upon a trunk , a pistol be
tween his knees , and he was ramming
a bullet Into the barrel.
It was all as plain as day. The fiend
jvaa preparing to murder the handsome
young leading man. lie would nieel
his would-be victim in the duel scene ,
kill him , and escape the penalty of the
law by advancing the plea that he
never dreamed that the pistol was
loaded. 1 was thunderstruck. I kneu
the fellow was a morose person , a man
of strong dislikes and few likes , but I
did not think him capable of such a
dastardly deed as he contemplated.
Thank heaven ! I had witnessed the lit
tle scene behind closed doors.
Hearing his call from the callboy , I
withdrew behind some packing trunks
and soon heard him treading the
boards above. I knew that he would
remain on some time , so I went into
his dressing-room and quickly with
drew the bullet from the pistol. Then
I went to my post above and found the
play progressing smoothly as usual.
I never saw the leading man do as
well ; as for the leading lady , she was
accepting his love with word , glance ,
and sweet gestures which told plainly
that she was in earnest. He was mak
ing real love to her ; yes , sir , such love
as you do sometimes see on the boards.
We old stagers can tell the difference
between downright love and the make-
believe article every time.
When the rivals met in the duel
scene , I can assure you I was more
than an anxious spectator. He , the
hero , met the muzzle of the rival with
the same cool demeanor as hitherto. I
wondered would he appear as cool , as
brave , had he known of the scene be
hind the doors.
The face of the villain was a perfect
picture of hellish ferocity , and I never
before knew how much of a man's evil
nature could be depicted upon his fea
tures. The word was given to fire.
The sharp crack of the pistols followed
and the smoke passed up into the flies.
Ah ! The villain had forgotten his fall !
He started quickly forward and gazed
upon his rival's smiling face. Then a
painful silence followed , as there al
ways does when a break mars the
play. The leading man whispered in
an undertone :
"Fall , man ! Why don't you fall ? "
But the villain had no ear for hear
ing ; he had expected to see the blood
stained corpse of his hated rival
stretched before him and now he
stood there still alive and breathing.
With a loud oath which could be
heard in every part of the house , the
defeated villain sprang by his rival ,
dashed through the little crowd of
stage people who had gathered in the
wings , and plunged through an open
window , falling with a sickening sound
upon the pavement below.
Of course this was all a deep mys
tery to every one but myself. The cur
tain dropped , and surrounded by my
companions I told the whole story.
I could see the leading lady clasp the
young fellow's arm tightly when I told
how I had balked the villain now a
broken , senseless mass of flesh and
bones. I staid with the company long
enough to see the young people hap
pily wedded. This ring , a pure diamond
mend of the first water , was presented
to me by the bridegroom for my taking ,
for the once and only time in all my
life , the leading part in a tragedy. Ex

The Little Castaway.
"What harm has that little creature
done that you should try to destroy
it ? " Uncle Waldo asked , watching
Tom's unavailing efforts to dislodge a
little gray spider from his home under
the eaves of the woodshed.
"No barm ; it's just a useless , ugly
little thing , that's all , " Tom answered ,
carelessly. "I kill all the spiders I come
across , 'cause they're in everybody's
way. "
"Because you think they're useless
and ugly. And I don't see that he is in
your way , either ; it looks rather as if
you were the one in the way. "
"Well , spiders haven't any sense ,
anyway , " Tom added , lamely.
"Suppose this little fellow should
prove to you that he is quite as intelli
gent as you , in his own sphere ; in fact ,
could do even more than you to help
himself along in the world ; would you
promise then to let spiders aloue for
the future ? "
"Yes , " Tom answered , unbesitating-
y ; "but I'd just like to know how he's
going to do that ! "
"What would you do , supposing you
were thrown on a desert island ? " ask
ed Uncle Waldo.
"I'd make a flag and wave it at the
ships sailing past , " Tom answered ,
readily.
"If there happened to be other ships
sailing past , that would answer your
purpose very well. But we're suppos
ing that you were to depend on your
own efforts altogether. "
"Why , I couldn't do anything with
out tools , of course. Couldn't swim
across the ocean. "
"Well , then , I will prove to you that
the innocent little spider which you are
trying to destroy has more intelligence
in that direction than you. "
Uncle Waldo caught the little crea
ture and placed it on the handle end of
a broom , at the same time thrusting
the brushy part of the broom into the
water tank.
"Now , wait a while and see what he
will do , " he said.
First the little castaway spun a long
web which he fastened in the middle
to the top of the broom handle , and
then be let himself down one end while
the other and longer end of the web
floated about in the breeze. He watch
ed the long end intently , evidently hop
ing that it would find anchor and af
ford a means of escape. But his plan
was not successful ; so he spun other
threads and let them down on different
sides ; but all to no purpose. Then he
set about making a curious little silken
pouch , spinning a stout cord by which
to attach the pouch to the broom han
dle. The pouch rose balloon-like in the
air and the little spider ran up the rope
and went inside ; but no sooner had he
done so than the pouch sank beneath
his weight aa far as the rope would
allow. Evidently it was too small.
It had taken a long while to make the
pouch , but the little builder was not
discouraged at Its failure. With cheer
ful patience he hauled It down , took It
apart and began remodeling it after "
safer , larger plan. Tom did the chores-
meantime. When he returned to the
tank he found the spider putting the
finishing touches to his second balloon ,
which was larger and stronger than
the first. As soon as the spider had sat
isfied himself that it would bear him
safely , he reached out and snapped the
rope that bound it to the post and sail
ed away , light as a thistle-down.
"Well , If that wasn't clever ! " said
Tom , in genuine admiration.
"Don't forget your promise , " Uncle
SValdo said , quietly.
"Well , I guess not. I'd be ashamed
to kill such a patient little fellow jus !
for nothing. " Kindergarten Review. .

to the public square and faced a firing
squad of soldiers with loaded rifles ,
ehiiid the squad stood a huge mass of
spectators from far and near.
The execution lacked no element of
the dramatic. The man wept and la
mented and begged for mercy. The
woman was calm. The squad had
made ready to fire , when an aid came
dashing through the square on horse
back. His coming merely prolonged
the strain iipon the two criminals. The
man embraced his knees in the hope
that he brought a pardon ; the woman
turned more pale , but was silent. Mer
cy it was , but only partial. The aid
bore a reprive indeed , but only for the
man. She begged her companion to re
main with her to the end. But the fel
low followed the guards away without
even addressing one word of pity to
the woman. And then but is there any
need lo tell the rest ?
A correspondent of Printers' Ink
sends the following to that journal :
West Union , la. , has a population of
2,000. One of Its progressive firms is
the dry goods establishment of Thomas
& Magner , the latter a young man with
a training gained in selling goods for
Carson , Pirie , Scott & Co. , of Chicago.
The writer called upon Mr. Magner re
cently , and found him engaged in pre
paring a G-column advertisement to ap
pear in each of the three county scat
papers.
"I have noticed , Mr. Magner , " said
the writer , "that you are departing
somewhat from the usual lines in coun
try advertising. Do you find that the
regular use of page ads is helping your
business ? "
"Well , yes , " said Mr. Magner , "some
thing Is helping it , and I don't know
what else to blame for it. We have
been compelled to put on extra clerks
this week , and still people have been
kept waiting. "
"What do you find to be the taking
feature of your ads ? "
"Prices , " said Mr. Magner promptly.
"Our advertising is all prices. We
quote low figures on goods of known
quality , and we set apart a certain
hour of the day when we will sell a
certain sort of goods at a cut prico. We
also have special sales , from a week tea
a mouth , at which we offer special in
ducements on special lines. "
"Do you find that the trade resulting
from this is largely confined to the spe
cial lines , or is it general ? "
"General. We seldom sell a cus
tomer especially a customer from a
distance only the goods used as a
leader. It is my idea that when a
farmer comes to town to buy dry goods
lie has a "little list' that has been in
process for weeks , perhaps months ,
[ f we can induce him to come to our
store , we check off the entire list. "
"Then it is your opinion that the mak
ing of leaders is as good a plan in the
Country as in the city ? "
"Better. We don't have swarms of
bargain-hunters to contend with. A
man doesn't hitch up and drive ten or
fifteen miles to buy only a few yards
jf prints. But he does buy the prints. "

The Argument Wa-s Convincing.
Counsel for the defense was address
ing a country justice of the peace of
the "old school. " Said he :
"I realize that I stand in the presence
of a descendant of the grand old
Huguenot family that emigrated from
France to escape from religious intel
erance. Many able jurists have sprung
from that family and embellished the
bench and bar of the union. Their
watchwords are honor , truth and jus
tice , and their names are spoken in ev
ery home. The law is so plain In this
case that 'he who runs may read. '
Shall I insult the intelligence of this
court by reiterating a proposition so
simple ? Need I say more ? - "
"No , " interrupted the judge , " 'tain't
necessary I'll give you a judgment. "
Counsel sat down , while the judge
with emphasis knocked the ashes froin-
his cob pipe and counsel for the plain
tiff began :
"May it please the court - "
"Squire , what are you fixin' to do ? "
asked the judge.
"I have the closing argument , " was
the reply.
"Well , you jes' as well set 'own. I
