AN IRISH WILD FLOWER.
She felt, I think, but as a wild flower can,
Through her bright. fluttering rags. the dark,
the cold:
Some furthest star, remembering what man
Forgets. had warmed her little head with gold.
Above her. hollow eyed. long blind to tears,
Leaf cloaked, a skeleton of stone arose.
Oh, castle shadow of a thousand years!
Where you have fallen. is this the thing that
grows!

A CRACKER SKETCH. ,
A two room log house. with a low. di-
lapidated “worm" fence around it. a
rugged honeysuckle vine at one side of
the door. which is never closed. winter or
summer. a few stunted rose bushes bor-
dering the path of while sand that glis-
tened blindingly in the sun of a midsum-
mer day. from the broken gate to the
rickety doorstep.
A traveler drew his horse up at the
gate. and. after the fashion of the coun-
try. shoutcd. "liel-Iol" He heard a sonar-
ous growl from within the house. as if an
immense. ill natured African lion had
been disturbed from an afternoon siesta;
then a sin-ill. shuttered voice commanded,
"You. Watch. git right back that." and
the great dog immediately retired to his
favorite much beneath the high. uucur~
tallied bedstead.
A few moments later there protruded
from the open door an enormous corn cob
pipe, from which the smoke was curling
in a lazy blue columIt As the pipe with.
it seemed. several sections of stew grad-
ually made Itself visible. it became evi-
dent that the other end disappeared in an
old woman’s mouth—a dry. expression-
iess mouth. surrounded with ever widen.
lug circles of wrinkles. as Is the center
of a tree. which circles took in a long,
sharp nose. a hooked chin. two bright,
inquisitive eyes. and finally disappeared
under the folds of a cotton handkerchief
bound over snowy hair. '
Then the handle of the pipe was with
an effort extracted from its accustomed
place between the old cracker mother’s
lips as she called. I'Ole man. ole man.
here’s sum ‘un as wanster see you.”
The pipe is replaced and the thin col-
umn of blue smoke curls lazily up as the
stranger sits in silenceunder close scru-
tiny from the eyes above the primitive
pipe as well as from a pair of bright,
starry orbs. dimly visible through a crack
between two logs of the cabin.
Presently a thick stream of dark yellow
fluid is projected from around a corner of
the building with the force and volume of
a lawn sprinkler. a heavy quid of tobacco
ls flung out among the stunted rose bushes,
and an old man—dwarfed in appearance,
With-a lean and slender frame, yellow skin,
thick gray hair locks, from which projects
'an aquillne nose and peer two ferret like
and furtive eyes—comes slowly slouching
into view. He wears patched and darned
brown jeans clothes. and. as it is summer.
he does not wear any shoes at all. He
speaks first. saying in a‘breath: '
"Good even’——tollable—light. mister. "
The stranger “lights‘ and enters the
house. which, after the glaring semi-path
outside. looks as cool and gloomy as a
grotto. There he came face to face with
the girl of the starry eyes, who indeed
appears. perhaps from the contrast with
her homely surroundings. a rare vision of
girlish loveliness.
As the stranger bowed she smiled bash-
fully and said "Good mawnin’." though
it is late in the afternoon. but no One
"makes him acquainted." .
The young lady whom the mother calls
"Soonie" brings him directly adrink of
cool spring water in a small long handled
gourd.which is white and as light as cork.
and which seems to impart an agreeable
flavor and sweetness to the water; but as
the weary traveler meets Soonie’s hand in
taking the gourd and her eyes while drink-
ing. it may be that the virtue did not all
lie in the gourd.
The mother sits beside the doorway,
knitting. smoking and gazing down the
lonely sandy road as she has done every
day these last fifty years. Along that
road. she tells the stranger. her old
man brought her to this home the day
they were married—only he wasn’t an old
man then. but one of the finest boysin
the country; along that road her only son
Benny marched away to "jine Guv’nor
Brown." but he never came back; along
that road later on came one division of
Sherman’s conquering hosts asthey swept
over the already desolated country on to
the sea. and along that road some day in
the‘near future she will be carried in a
rough pine box, on a jolting ox cart. up
to the burying ground at New Prospect
church and laid to rest. Old man Stubbs.
with similar thoughts. perhaps, sits near
her industriously chewing a. new tobacco
end and spitting with deadly precision at
the lazy flies basking in the sun on the
doorstep. and asking at intervals. like
minute guns
"And what did you say your name mout
be. mister?" though the guest had not as
yet mentioned it.
“And you are from—where. mister?‘
failing to use the name after obtaining it.
"And what mout be your business.
mister?“ clinging still to his favorite title.
“And be you a Yankee, mister?”-
While gratifying his host’s curiosity
the visitor glances curiously about the
room on his own account. About the
open fireplace. at which the family cook-
ing Is done. are ranged the only cookin
vessels known in crackerdom-an oven to
bake bread. a frying pan in which they
spoil about all meats. a deep potto boil
"greens" and a cofi'ee pot in which they
compound a black decoctlou. Strong and
bitter, and which they drink enormously,
unassisted with either sugar or milk:
strings of red pepper hang in long fes—
toons from the rafters overhead, along
with home raised hams. ears of popcorn
and bags of unknown contents; on pegs
about the walls hang the entire ward-
robes of all the family. Two tall beds fill
the rear of the cabin. and under one of
these Watch is growling at the stranger’s
voice and sleepiiy scratching fleas.
Soouie is preparing supper. frequently
casting expectant glances up the sandy
road.
It is Saturday afternoon, and her sweet-
heart will soon come whistling merrily
from among the pines. arrayed in a suit
no nnw clothes. with white shirt and red
necktie. andhis pockets tiued with pea-
nuts and stick candy.
She is radiant in a new speckled calico
dress. with flowers in her hair, and a knot
of red ribbon at her threat that beauti-
fully matches her cheeks. The old road
brings no sad memories to her. but calls
- up sweet dreams of future happiness.
Supper comes at sundown—a feast of
crisp fried meat, hard biscuits and bitter
black coffee. Even these were palatable.
however. after a long day’s ride through
those desolate pine wilds. and Mr. Stubbs’
invitation to ”set up and cat hearty" was
cheerfully accepted by the traveler.
Soonie’s beau came in during supper. a
fuzzy faced. silly looking young fellow,
who went quite off his head at the sight
of the stranger and could only giggle and
look more foolish than ever.
ln Soonie's eyes. however. he was evi-
dentl y a very precious piece of humanity,
though she cast many pleasant looks to-
ward the guest.
As soon as the supper things were
cleared away Mrs.. Stubbs "fixed the
beds." and instructing the traveler to lie
“along with the old man. " she and Scenic
left the room.
”You kin sleep in here with me.” said
the old man. rubbing his' bare feet on the
floor and tumbling into bed with only so
much preparation as a hog might take.
and was soon snoring frightfully; this
efiectunlly banished sleep so far as our
traveler was concerned. in a few moA
ments the ladies came back into the room
and Mrs Stubbs turned in -
Scenic and John Henry were now left
alone before the great fireplace. she stand-
ing on one side of the hearth nervously
toying with a china. cup and saucer of
gaudy pattern. her only treasure except a
flaring chrome of "Joseph and His Breth
ren" which hung on the wall. while he
chewed vigorously and expectorated freely
to the imminent risk of injuring her Sun
day dress. How silly and frightened he
looked as Soonio. seating herself. began
idly picking at her frock. blushing viv
idly. and left the opening of the even-
Ing's exercises entirely with him.
"Saw a mighty big chicken fight up ter
the store this even’n', huh, huh." said he.
“Did you. he-he; which whupped?" said
she. . ‘
The ice was broken. and when the trav-l
eler again looked toward them their chairs
were hopelessly jammed, and all outlines
were confused. ./
It may have been that the presence of
the handsome and well dressed “PEPE?!
prompted John—Henry to unusual boldness
to-night; at any rate he was soon telling
his love in true backwoods heroics. if he
was bashful and awkward. she was coy
and shy. Perhaps she. too. was thinking
of the traveler and comparing his easy.
unstudied grace with John Henry’s heavy.
lumbering manner. She held back and
hesitated long before putting her promise
into words.
"Oh. Soonle,” he finally blurted out, "if
you likes me. and don’t likes to say so.
just squoze my hand. "
This appeal was probably irresistible,
for the next moment 'there was quite a
reciprocityin the hugging line between
them—quite. unanimous, in fact. Her
heavy masses of auburn hair hung over
his shoulders, and her bangs were all
massed up with [his carroty forelocks.
while the red ribbon at her throat and his
flaming necktie were lndistlnguishably
mingled.
The fire burned slowly out and was not
replenished. but Henry staid until the
traveler. with many sad memories tug-
ging at his own heart. drew the cover
over his head and slept. despite the snor-
ing of his strange old bed fellow.
When heawoke the next morning the
entire.family had been long up. The old
man was out feeding the stock; Mrs.
Stubbs sat in the doorway smoking and
looking down the lonely road. thinking.
perhaps, of that fair. brave hearted boy
who so long ago went out that way to
"jine Guv'ner Brown," as the smoke
.curled blue and lazily from her pipe;
Soouie was making bread at a table a few
feet from the bedside."
"Good mawnin'.” she said, with a smile
on her ripe red lips. which looked sweet
and tempting until he thought of John
Henry’s tobacco stained mouth and shud-
dered. ‘
“You'd better be glttin' up." she said.
"breakfas' is most ready. "

Miss Alcott's Fascinating Manuscript.
Three years later Mr. Alcott received
from his daughter the manuscript of a
book- which Louisa had written according
to. the inspiration which was always her
best. i. e., that which came from actual
observation. and what may be called the
idealization of facts. Miss Alcott said
once that she wrote the book "to prove
she could not write it:" in other words,
having been asked by Roberts Bros. to
prepare "a good girls' story," she declared
she could not do it. caring so much more
for "boys" than she did for girls: but, if
she attempted it. it must be about her
own sisters and herself.
Accordingly. a book was written on this
charming principle On its receipt one of
the firm took the manuscript home, and,
without mentioning the author, handed
it to his daughter, a girl of about 12 years.
to read. lntrenching himself behind a
newspaper. I was told he watched the
efiect of the story upon this unconscious
critic. Page after page was turned. and
every variety of expression showed itself
on the young face bending above the book.
What would she have said, I wonder. had:
she known her proud distinction—the first
child in America who read “Little
Women!" But such was the case. .
ing it impossible to induce her to leave
this fascinating manuscript. the publisher
wisely decided that a book which could, '
in manuscript, so captivate one girl,
would, in print, reach the hearts of many, .
and accordingly this first little bark.
freighted with success and famejwas
launched—Lucy C. Lillie in The Cosmo

“'Ileu Japanese Children Die.
We stopped one day at a pretty and
rather modest temple shrine, where sat a,
clean polled, benevolent looking priest,
with big rimmed spectacles astridc his
little nose. Before and above and about
the shrine hung little children’s frocks,
their tiny shoes, pretty little belts, dolls,
and other playthings. '
“What is this?” we askedour guides~
“When little children come. to die the
mothers bring their dress‘cst‘and“ pla’y’i "
things here, and put a little money in this
box. Every day the priest offers prayers
that the little ones may be made happy
after death, and have nice things and
pretty playthings when they go to stay
up there with God.” ‘ '
As we talked, a heart stricken mother
came and tossed hcr coin into the box,
and as she placed the little bundle of her
dear onc’s pretty clothes in the tender
priestly hand, we thought there was but
one thing better than this, the saying,
“Suffer little children to come unto me.
and forbid them not.”—-Japan Letter.
A Curious Negro Superstition.
There is an old “dorky” superstition
which still holds a place in the minds of a
great many of our colored population.
\thn the first thunder storm of the year
comes the superstitious negro makes a
bcelinc for the nearest river or creek. He
may be seen watching the rolling waters
for some time, till at last he spies a- dark
object on its surface. He grabs it as it
floats near the bank. \Vith one cxultiug
exclamation he binds the object around,
his wrist and goes his way in peace,‘ se-
cure, as he thinks, from the rheumatism
and kindred ailments. \tht was the
object? The skin of a water snake. Snakes
are said to shed their skins when lightning
first appears, and the negro believes that
windingr a snake skill around his wrist at
this time exerts a counteracting influence
on nearly all diseases—Charlotte (N. C.)

is very soo'u acquired by these people dur-
ing their examinations by their physicians.
and they are thus often enabled to cut a
pretty good figure before a jury. i do not
think it is at all difficult to detect these
impostors. *
It is rarely the case that they are so
consistent in their detail of alleged symp-
toms aud in their conduct as to deceive a
medical man thoroughly well skilled in
his profession. Besides this. they gener-
deceive, and, if subjected to class scrutiny
for some considerable time. or at periods
when they do' not suSpect that they are

selves in their true colors.
Not long since I was applied to by a
young man. who informed me that. about
a month previously, in getting off a street
railway car. he had been violently thrown
to'the ground. so that he had wrenched
his back. had become partially paralyzed
ill both legs, and had, besides. sustained
serious internal injuries. In addition to
wanting my professional advice be de-
sired an examination. with a special view
of having me to testify before a court in a

body was remarkably well nourished. He
complained Of pain in the upper region of
the spine, and screamed in apparent
agony when I slightly touched that part
of his body. It seemed to Ine then that
tliere_‘was. an unusual degree of sensitive-
mess, and not at all such as would have
been developed had,_he been .rcallylujured
in the way he ldcsciib‘ed. "l‘h'e grasp of
his hand was very weak. but at the same
time his muscles. were large and well
formed. ‘ ' ' ' " ‘ ' ‘ '
l was satisfied even at the time that he
was making the most“ of his condition, if
not actually deceiving me. I next asked
him to walk around the room until I told
him to stop. At first he tottered over the
floor as if about to fall at every step and
complainedbf gl‘e’at pains in‘ his “legs ”As
he continued walking. however. I kept
him in conversation, so as to divert his
mind from himself. As a consequence he
was thrown ofi his guard.- asl expected
turns his ‘gait was measurably improved,
and at times was as good as it ever had
been. Of course. if there had been any
real paralysis. every step he took would
have added to his lameness. Some other
methods of examination with instruments
of precision placed the fact of his fraudu-
led to his detection. After numerous pro
testations he confessed that he had been
drilled by an attorney to simulate spinal
injury with a view to defrauding the rail-

Fires on a steamboat.
I don-’t think there is a boat on the Ills:
sissippi river that-is without all the best,
modern appliances for extinguishing tires.
but when a fire breaks out on the boat
there is nobody who knows how to handle
the apparatus. Fighting fires is a science
that it takes years of experience to ac
quire. Steamboat managers never seem
when once on fire. are certain to be de-
stroyed. One experienced fireman em.
played on each boat could drill the boat-
men and manage the fighting of a fire. so
that it would be impossible for a steam-
boat to burn. A few years ago. when the
city’s harbor boat caught fire. we had to
go down to the levee and put out the fire.
although the harbor boat has on her lower
deck the finest kind of ' apparatus for fight-
