The Emergency Drill.
fl‘ 9' .{ ~. .1 .“ ‘5 . . >
50111001168 in. dis‘iiong‘ winter evenings,
Henry-Bruce .. amused himself making out
lists _of lonely pe le, and his own name
always stood at the head. He agreed that
Robinson Crusoe had a hardtimc, but Robin-
son Crusoe could remember whea he had as
much company as he wanted, and Henry
could not. The Man in the Iron Mask was
Solitsrycnough, but how, about the time be-

, fore he wore it i“ As for St. Simeon Stylites,

Henry'would not put him‘on the list at all,
liAcausc, even if he did choose to live on the
top of a high pillar, be always had a crowd
gipiu'g up. at. him. Henry’s grievance was
one he shared with Adam ; he had ueVer had
.a boy to 'play with‘him.

llis father was the keeper of a light—house
on the northern coast of England. The light-
house stood oh "a rock two 'miles out to sea,
but Henry lived with his mother and little
sister in a cottage on the mainland. There
was not another house within sight, and not
:1 hey within a day’s travel. Men used to
come up the coast shooting and fishing, and
although Henry had seen him on vessels, he
had never had a good, honest hour’s play or
talk with a boy in all his life.

There was another odd thing about the
life here. At all lighthouses in these times
there are two or three men, so if one gets
sick there will be some one to take his place.
But Mr. Bruce had never had an assistant.
Everything had {always 'gone on right, and
so the government had never realized that
he was alone, and he never spoke of it be-
cause he was afraid that he would be paid
less if he had a man to help him. He ex-
pected Henry to take the place of assistant as
soon as he was old enough. In the mean-
time to educate the boy for possible contact
with the world, he used to put him through

. what he called “The Emergency Drill.”
This related to different matters, but it al-
ways began in the some way. The first
question was: “What is the matter 1’” The
second : “What first ?” Then, §‘_Do I need
help?" and if the answer to this Was “yes,”
then: “Whercshall I get it i” Henry be-
came so used to these questions that he put
them to himself on many occasions, and he
often amused himself playing he was a gen-
eral on the battlefield, oraking out hunting,
and he imagined all sorts of troubles when th
“Drill" was of use.

One morning a fishing boat came in bound
lohthc nearest town, and Mrs. Bruce asked
the men to take her along to buy yarn for
the children‘s stockings. They agreed, but
told her she would have to walk, back, but
she was willing to do this‘, althdugh' the dis-
tance was twelve miles, because, as‘she said,
if they did not take her she would have to
walk both ways. ' ‘

Everything went on very well until near
sunset when the sky began to cloud, and
little Lucy became cross and sleepy and
cried for her mother. Henry gave hei;
bread and milk, but still she fretted. She
did not want to play. and she would not go
to sleep. _ ._ .

“My goodness l”, he cried. .“I wish all
babies werelgrown up! 'I would rather hunt
lions than ‘take care of you ?" He then
picked her up and carried her to the door.
“Now," he said, “we will watch for mam-
no.”

The rocks stood up against a gray and
heavy sky. The wind had begun to moan,
and the. birds flew screaming ove'r the water.
There was not a sign'of their mother coming
on the beach, and Henry felt more lonely
than ever, He looked over to the light-house
and wished his father would light it up, and
it scequ to him that sunset, thetime for
lighting, must surely have come. Suddenly
a little fiag appeared in the lantern. Henry
sprang to his feet. ‘

“What is the matter?" he exclaimed in
real earnest. -

“I don‘t know,” was his reply.

“What first ‘3"

“To go to the lighthouse.” .

But he was mistaken. The first thing he
had to do was to dispose of Lucy. ‘ He could
not take her; he could not leave her.

"If you were only a horse,” he hurriedly
crier , “I could put you in the stable. If you
were a cow I‘d tie you to the stake ; but what
am I do with a baby?”

"Lucy can go,”_‘said the child.

"‘No, she can’t,” he answered. And then
he looked out again, but his mother was not
yet in sight, and the red flag which meant
“Come at once,” still shook and beckoned to
him

He tied Lucy into her little chair with an
apron, and wrote a note_to his methcr:

“DEAR MOTHER father ‘wauted me right
away and the lamp is not lit and it is after
sunset and I hope Lucy won't get into any
trouble. Your son

Hexar BRUCE.

He put this note in front of the lamp and
hurried Off. _

A boat wasalways kept ready, and Henry
sprang into it and rowed off with energy.
It was dark, however, when he reached the
light house, and the rain had begun to fall
Ilc tied his boat to the little pier and mute
the l0‘.'\".r. II: opened a small heavy bronze
door and entered a large, always dimly-light-
ed room, in which was stored coal and wood,
oil for the Fungi and fresh water ffr‘om the
main land.

The stairs..‘.‘fi5fciu this .room and Henry
ran up“ The recumbove was the kitchen,
over that was the bid-ICON], and from this a
ladder led to-tlie lantern. Henry called but
there was no'answer. He went up into the
lantern. All was dark and silent. He spoke
again and again but still all was silent. Then
he heard a groan, and be rushed down the
ladder, got the keeper’s hand-lamp and ran
back. His fatherlay on the floor ; his eyes
were closed and blood ran from his temple.
It was plain that he had fallen and hurt him-
self. ' '

Henry began to ciy. He did not know
what to do,and the “Emergency Drill” didn't
occur to him. Then he remembered that e
ought to stop the flow of blood, and taking
his father's handkerchief from his pocket 13.0
tied up the wound. Still his father neither
spoke nor moved. Then he cried again.
And then he thought. of his mother. She
must by this time be at home. and without
hesitation be rushed off again, but this time
to theroat. It took but a moment to untie
it and sprang in and he wm off.

The rain fell heavily, the waves dashed on
the rocks, and lienrylooking up saw the dim
outline of the light-house. He Stopped row-
ing. His heart gave a great jump,and before
his eyes seemed to flash the “charge to keep-
ers" hung up in the light-house : .

“You are to light the lamps every evening
at sunsctting and keep them burning bright
and char until sunrising.”

His father‘s faithfulness, the great impor-
tance of lighiiug up, rushed into Henry’s
mind. and again he involuntarily repeated his
“Emergency Drill.”

“What is the matter ?”

“The lamps are not lighted."

“What first ‘3"

“To light them.”

ll": turned his boat and rowed back a few
rods. I But wash. first? 'It could'not be!
He must take his mother over. His father
would die for want of help. As he paused,
trembling, anxious, irresolutc, ho remem-
bered how often his father: had said that no
wreck should ever be his fault, and it was a
terrible liigilt.§.; -

llenryknefi what his ‘father' would say,
and he at once rowed directly back. He re—
turned to the house, stumbling up the dark
stairs, got the lamp again and ran up into
the lantern. It took him.but a moment to
light the lamps, and the glow spread out on
the sea, and aroused by the glare his father
opened his eyes. -

“The lamps," he said.

“I have lighted them,” Henry replied ;
“and now I am going. for mother.”

"Stay !” was the answer,1,and his father
closed his eyes again.

Henry hesitated, but he sat down in the

hard chair in which his father spent each
night watching. He knew what his father
meant. The lights would go out and needed

care all night.
And so Henry sat there. The wind howl-

birds dashed against the glass; the rain beat
on the roof, and all sorts of wild sounds
seemed to be in the air.
up and bathed his father's head with water.
He brought a pillow. He talked to him, but
had no answer but a moan, yet he never
cried, and he‘ never ceased to keep the lights
burning “bright and clear.” ,

It seemed to him nearly morning when he
heard pounding at the light-house door. He
knew it was some one seeking shelter, and he
went .down and opened it. There stood a
man and a boy and—his mnther.

Henry cried then! And he laughed and
he clung around her neck, and he poured out
that his father was hurt and he had kept the
lights burning, and he had to leave Lucy,and
all of it in one breath.

“But,” said his mother, pushing back her
wet hair, “I do not understand. Where is
your father? Where is Lucy ?”

“He is up stairs. I left a note for you by
the lamp.”

“But I have not been- home," exclaimed
his mother. “I have been all night on the
sea. Our friends here told me they would
give me passage back, so I waited. It became
dark so early, and we were dashed on the
rocks and our mast broken. We had no idea
where we were, and we could not see the
light-house. Then all at once it blazed up,
and all night, this fearful night, we . have
struggled toward it.” . ,

And so it was his mother that Henry saved
when he decided that his father would hold
his duty dearer than his life, and turning
back took his place and kept the signal lights
burning. .

How happy they all Were that night after
the keeper was carried down stairs and came
to his senses, and told how he fell and only
had power to put out the flag. The only
thing that troubled Mrs. 'Bruce was the
thought of Lucy tied in her chair. When
Mr. Bruce recovered he asked for an assis-
tant, and when the man came behold he
brought his son, a year younger than Henry,
and Henry felt as if he had got his “Man
Friday.” Lorusn STOCKTON. 55

Rev. Washington Gladden has an article
in the Century, based upon painstaking sta-
tistics—from which it appears that divorce is
alarmingly increasing in nearly all the states;
and that in the Protestant population of four
New England States divorces have attained
such enormous proportions as these : In Mas-
sachusetts they stand as one to every fifteen
marriages; in Vermont,as one to'thirteeu;
in Rhode Island, as one to niner;;and in Con;
necticut as on; t6 ell/lit .’ Three of the causes
given are rash -marriages,1he groWing laxncss
of divorce laws, and the assiduity with
which the new theories of woman’s rights
are promulgated—the fact being well known
that looseness in the marriage relation is a
never-failing attendant upon these theories.

The old town of Pueblo, Colorado,,has
almost disappeared before the advance of
civilization. Relics of the extinct cave:
dwellers and mine-workers are found from
time to time, which show that they were
much farther advanced in civilization than
the red Indian who came after they had dis-
appeared from the earth, without leaving a
clcw as to who they were, where they came
from or where they went. Week before
last a hatchet was found in an old deserted
mine near Socouro, ‘apparently of pure sil-
ver, in shape somewhat resembling the old
English hatchet, but. more clumsy. Down.
the Grand river to the west fer two hundred '
miles, south all the way into New Mexico,
through the isthmus and South America to
the Straits of Magellan, axes, hatchets,
mauls, spear-heads and knives of copper
have 'been found at various times in large
numbers.

 

 

In 1836 a barefooted boy was walking along
the Delaware and Hudson Canal on'his way
to Port Jervis. A boat. came along, and he
was asked to jump on board. On the boat
was a boy about eleven years old, nearly the
same age as the one from the towpath. The
boy Who was on the boat at first went with
his family to Cardondale, the centre of the
L'lckawanna coal field, and ,worked a mule-
driver in the mines. ‘ The first boy went to
work on the canal at Honesdalc. Both boys
kept up their acquaintance, and both worked
hard,each for the company that employed
him. The boy from the towpatll is now Col
F. Young, General Mallger of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal Company, and President
of the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad.
The boy from the mines is now Thomas
Dickson, President of the Delaware and find-
son Canal Company.

g No political sentiment has been more
vehemently or 'more generally denounced
than that “to the victors belong the spoils.”
This sentiment with properlimitations and in
the sense understood and intended by Gov-
ernor Marcy, has my hearty approval. With-
out. being avowed, it has been acted upon by
the Whig and repub‘ib to parties for half a
c:ntury. Every autllemocratic President,
with one cxception,and every anti-democratic
governor of this state, have rewarded their
political friends' with their share of the
“spoils"- of victory. I make this broad
statement understandingly. The exception
was John Quincy Adams, in whose support
during a long and exciting canvass, time and
money were freely expended, and in many
prominent instances leading and influential
politicians sacrificed their party obligations
and interests to what they deemed a duty to
their country. ' But Mr. Adams when elected
declared himself independent, proving him-,
self, though the name had not ,then been in-
vented, “a civil service reformer.” Mr.
Adams persistently refused to punish his
enemies or reward his friends. In 182-8 he
was a candidate for re-election, but. having
turned his back upon the friends who elected
him in 1823, he encountered that fate await

any administration which disposes of its pat-
ronacc by competitive examination irrespec-
tive of party.

The Pledge «FAbgtlaenccr'

BY JOHN muons.

Time “The Sword of Bunker Hill.

The old man rose in ’I‘emp'rance Hall—-
His eyes was bright and clear ;

He brushed aside his snowy'loeks,
And spoke in words sincere;

.“I’m three-scoreyearsand ten ,” he said,
“And soon must journey hence;

But ere I go, I wish to show
My faith in abstinence.

“Long years ago I learned to taste
The draught that fashion planned ‘ -

And loved to drain the tempting cup
'l‘bat came from benuty’s hand.

And thus, in youth, I wove the Web
That bound my better sense,

And made me hate and deprecate ’
The pledge of abstinence.

“At thirty, I could never wait
For beauty to invite;

But, with achosen few, would drink
At morning, noon or night.

With jest and joke we’d spend our time,
Spurred on by thirst intense,

And sing, and shout, and rudely scout
The pledge of abstinence.

“At forty, I had sunk so low,
And such a drunkard grown,
I sought no more companionship,
But qunfled my dram alone. _‘ 1
Down, down I went, my years misspent
la base lmprovidence— ,
Too weak to mendyto blind too seek
The pledge of abstinence.

“At last, infirm, and sick, and poor,
I stood on ruin’s edge;

’Twas then a kindly brother came
And proffered me the pledge to

The heavens cleared, the sun appeared;
I saw deliverance. _

By grace inclined, that night I signed
The pledge of abstinence.

“For thirty years I’ve kept my faith,
And hale and hearty yet;
And what I owe to that wise not
1 never shall forget.
My heart I raise to God in praise
For his kind providence ’a
That did incline my heart to sign
The pledge of abstinence."

Here are two pictures which presents two
different sides of the work of a Sunday-
school missionary. The first is from the pen
of a missionary of the American Sunday-
School Union in North Carolina. He writes;
“Happiest of Christian workers ought the
missionary of the American Sunday-School
Union to be! . Here, for instance, is 'my
Evergreen Hill Union Sunday-school,marked
attention by the people to the gospel, and a
gracious revival season. One effort, made a
few weeks ago, to establish a Sunday-school
in his log-cabin at the base of J ump-ofl.

now it is a centre of gracious influences.”
The other picture comes from a 'misaionary
of the same society in the Indian Territory.
He says: “On my last trip, the first night
out, I lost myway in the woods, and slept
under the open sky,—wolves bowling and
wild-cats screaming around. But I organized
one Sundayschool in a settlement 'of whites
and half-breeds, and another, the next day,
in a negro settlement, where I slept on the
floor of a negro cabin, and ate at the table of
those who had been slaves. Next I started
a Sunday-school among whites, half-breeds.
and full-blood Cherokees. Returning,walked
through a drenching, rain, mud and water
ankle-deep; then paddled in a canoe over a
furious swollen river, full of driftwood, and
then-slept in an Indian cabin ; and on Sunday
started a Sunday-school 'ln an English-
speakiug settlement.” ' ' '

Mr. Abram Ellsworth of Port Ewin. Ulster

disease Involved the whole of his Ihigh bone.
and the suffering man looked forward, not
wuhont apparent reason, to death as his only
dehverer. His family physician refused to
amputateotbe limb—asserting- that the opera-
tion would kill the patient. on the spot. Dr.
David Kennedy of Rondout, N Y ,who was
consulted. held a different opinion. and am-
putated the limb. Th-- Doctor then admin-

Many astronomers have held the opinion
that Alcyone, the chief 'star [of the Pleiades,
is the center about which' our solar system
revolves. Very curiously, an extraordinary
importance seems also to be liven this group
of stars by many-savage and semi-civilized
tribes, who have peculiar beliefs concerning
it, and apparently handed down to them
from antiquity. '

Another prehistoric canoe has been discov-
ered in the old bed of the Rhone, in France,
It is about thirty-eight feet long, three feet
wide and two feet deep. It was excavated
from an oak 10g. which was left in its origi-
nal form with the exception of the ends,
which were beveled so as to give a sharp
provv and stem.

Numerous cases of fire from the spontane—
ous ignition of coal have been ignordcd.
After considerable experimenting, Mr. W.M.
Williams has concluded “that spontaneous
Combustion takes place in some degree in all
cases where coal is exposed to the atmosphere,
although the combustion may proceed SO
slowly that the rise of temperature will
amount to only a few degrees.

Granular vegetable carbon, saturated with
sulphuric acid,of which it holds about seven-
ty times its own volume, is now being tested
as adestroyer of phylloxera. Buried amongst _
roots, it gradually gives off sulphuric acid
gas, and this being heavier than air, not only
permeates the soil, but hangs.about the sur
face and asphyxiates the phylloxera.

Prof. C. Binghas announced the discovery
of sleep-producing qualities in ozone.

Icebergs are often of enormous size,
measuring miles in area and many hundred
feet in thickness. Hayes saw one reaching
an altitude of 315 feet above the sea, and
most of the Arctic explorers have encounter-
ed bergs of 200 feet or more in height. ‘ Pyer
has estimated that in an iccrbcrg 200 feet
above the water a total height of 000 to 800
feet may, as a rule, be inferred. All except-
ion to this rule must be the her-gs Capt. Ross
saw aground in 1,500 feet of water. A mass
of ice floating in the Southern ocean is re-
ported by Capt. d’ Urville to have been thir-
teen miles long wiah vertical walls 100 feet
high. I

In a recent address in justification 1of com-
pulfiy vaccination, Dr. W. B. Carpenter,
the eminent British physiologist, presented
some interesting statistics showing the de-
crease of smallpox in Great Britain with
the adoption of modern protective measures.
From 1660 to the commencement of the
present century the average annual number
of deaths frdm small pox was upward of
4,000 for each 1,000,000 of inhabitants. For
the decade 1801—10 the yearly small pox
mortality was 2.040 per million inhabitants.
In 1831—35 it had fallen to 830. In 1840
means for vaccination were provided by the
government, and the annual raIe fell to 400
per 1,000,000 Then came compulsory vac—
cination in 1853, and in the decade 1851—- 60
there were each year but 278 deaths from
small pox in each 1,000.000 inhabitants. In
1861—70 the number was 276. In 1871—80
the rate was greatly increased, but the cir.
c-imstances were so decidedly exceptional
tnat these years can afford no basis for an
argument against vaccrnation.

Archrclogical researches have shown indis.
putably that the art of Weaving was practiced
In prehistoric times. It may even date back
nearly to the creation of man, as fragments
of woven cloth have been found among the
relics of the Lake Dwellers.who are supposed
to have been about the first representatives
of the human race. The Bronze Age fur—
nishes specimens which place the art above
most others in degree of perfection, even
fabrics of wool being found in the remains
of Denmark, Scandinavia and England—the
remains of France and Switzerland yielding
linen fabrics. The oldest historical reference
to the art of weaving is furnished by the
Bible. Job lamented that .his days were
passing with the fieetness of a weaver‘s
shuttle; and Joseph was attired in “ventures
of finelinen.”

It is proposed by Mr. C. F. McGlashan,
editor of the Santa Barbara (Cal.) Press,,to
place moving railway' trains in constant rele-
graphic communication with the rest of the
world. In his method a train telegraph of-
fice would be kept in electric connection
with an overhead wire by means of a truck
running upon the wire leading into the car.
Aside frdm its convenience to the travel-
mgr public, this 'application of the electric
telegraph would seem to furnish engineers
With a considerable safeguard against acci-
dents. . .
Cases of poisoning by carbolic acid are not
infrequent. Two dracbms is, according to
Dr. Rechert, the minimun fatal dose on re-
exlrd, and recovery rarely follows a dose of
half an ounce.

Dr. Gatling, of machine gun fame, has just.
brought out a new implement of scientific
warfare, whose object is to destroy the use-
lnlness of submerged torpedoes. It is a long-
range gun of great penenetralion, carrying a
sled shell which is intended to penetrate the
easement of a torpedo and interfere with its
power of explosion. The gun is in the works
