A PRETTY SUGGESTION.

They fingered at her father's door,
The hour was shining bright,
And to the maiden, o‘er and o’er,
The youth had said good night.
But still reluctant to depart
Her tiny hand be pressed,
While all the love that filled his heart
His ardent looks confessed.
At length the maiden blushed and sighed,
And said, in accents low,
“I hope. dear John, you will not try
To kiss me ‘ere you go."
-Boston Courier.

IN T—Ifi. RESERVOIR

Thirty years ago you might have seen some
of the best society of New York on the top of
the distributing reservoir at Forty-second
street any fine October morning. There
were two or three carriages in waiting and
half a dozen senatorial looking mothers with
young children pacing the parapet as we
ourselves, one day in the past generation,
basked there in the sunshine—now watching
the pickerel. that glided along the lucid edges
of the black pool within, and now looking all
upon the scene of rich and wondrous variety
that spreads along the two broad and beauti-
ful rivers on each side.

“They may talk of Alpheus and Arethusa,”
murmured an idling sophomore, who had
found his way thither during recitation
hours, “but the Croton, in passing over an
arm of the sea at Spuyten Duyvil and burst-
ing to sight again in this truncated pyramid,
beats it all hollow. By George, too, the bay
yonder looks as blue as ever the JEgean sea to
Byron’s eye gazing from the Acropolis. Did
you see that pike break, sir ?”

“I did not.”

“His silver fin flashed upon the black
Acheron, like a restless soul that hoped yet
to mount from the pool.”

“The place seems suggestive of fancies to
you ?” we observed in reply to the rattlepate.

“It is, indeed; for I have done up a good
deal of anxious thinking within a. circle of a
few yards where that fish broke just now.
Shall I tell you about it ?”

“Pray do.”

“Well, you have seen the notice forbidding
any one to fish in the reservoir. Now, when
I read that warning, the spirit of the thing
struck me at once as inferring nothing more
than that one should not sully the temperance
potations of our citizens by steeping bait in
it of any kind; but you probably know the
common way of taking pike with a slip noose
of delicate wire. I was determined to have
a touch at the fellows with this tackle.

“I chose a moonlight night; and an hour
before the edifice was closed to visitors I se-
creted myself within the walls, determined
to pass the night on the top. All went as
I could wish it. The night proved cloudy,
but it was only a variable drift of broken
clouds which obwured the moon. I had a
walking cane rod with me which would reach
to the margin of the water, and several feet
beyond if necemary. To this was attached
the wire, about fifteen inches in length.

“I prowled along the parapet for a consid-
erable time, but not a single fish could I see.
The clouds made a flickering light and shade
that wholly foiled my steadfast gaze. I was
convinced that should they come up thicker
my whole night's adventure would .be thrown
away. ‘Why should I not descend the slop-
ing wall and get nearer on a level with the
fish, for thus alone can I hope to see one?’
The question had hardly shaped itself in my
mind before I had one leg over the iron rail-
mg.

“If you look around you will see now that
there are some half dozen weeds growing
here and there amid the fissures of the solid
masonry. In one of the fissures from whence
these spring, I planted a foot and began my
descent. The reservoir was fuller than it is
now, and a few strides would have carried
me to the margin of the water. Holding on
to the cleft above, I felt round with one foot
for a place to plant it below me. ‘

“In that moment the flap of a pound pike
made me look round, and the roots of the
weed upon which I partially depended gave
way as I was in the act of turning. Sir,
one’s senses are sharpened in deadly peril; as
I live now, I distinctly heard the bells of
Trinity chiming midnight, as I rose to the

surface the next instant, immersed in the

stone caldron, where I must swim for'my
life, Heaven only could tell how long!

“I am a capital swimmer; and this natur-
ally gave me a degree of self possession. Fall-
ing as I had, I, of course, had pitched out
some distance from the sloping parapet. A
few strokes brought me to the edge. I really
was not yet certain but that I could clamber
up the face of the wall anywhere. I hoped
that I could.

“I tried the nearest spot. The inclination
of the wall was so vertical that it did not
even rest me to lean against it. I felt with
my hands and with my feet. Surely, I
thought. there must be some fissure like-those
in which that ill omened weed had found a
place for its root!

“There was none. My fingers became sore
in busying themselves with the harsh and in-
hospitable stones. My feet slipped from the
smooth and slimy masonry beneath the water;
and several times my face came in rude con-
tact with the wall, when my foothold gave
way on the instant that I seemed to have
found some diminutive rocky cleat upon
which I could stay myself.

“Sir, did you ever see a rat drowned in a
half filled hogshead—how he swims round
and round and round, and after vainly try-
ing the sides again and again with his paws,
fixes his eyes upon the upper rim as if he
would look himself out of his watery prison!

“I thought of the miserable vermin, thought
of him as I had often watched thus his dying
agonies, when a cruel urchin of eight or ten.
Boys are horribly cruel, sir; boys, women
and savages. All child like things are cruel
—-cruel from want of thought, from perverse
ingenuity.

“I thought then, I say, of the rat drown-
ing in a half filled cask of water, and lifting
his gaze out of the vessel as he grew desper-
ate, and I flung myself on my back, ,and
floating thus, fixed my eyes upon the moon.

“The moon is well enough in her way, how-
ever you may look at her; but her appear-
ance is, to say the least of it, peculiar to a
man floating on his back in the center of a
stone tank, with a. dead wall of some fifteen
or twenty feet rising squarely on every side
of tiim!” (The young man smiled bitterly as
he said this, and shuddered once or twice be.
fore he went on musingly.)

“The last time I had noted the planet with
any emotion she was on the wane. Mary was
with me; I had brought her out here one
morning to look at the view from the top of
the reservoir. She said little of the scene,
but as we talked of our old childish loves I
saw that its fresh features were incorporat-
ing themselves with tender memories of the
past, and I was content.

“There was a rich golden haze upon the
landscape, and as my own spirits rose amid
the voluptuous atmosphere, she pointed to
the waning planet, discernible like a faint
; - h in the welkin, and wondend how long
it woult. be before the leaves would fall.
trange girl! did she mean to rebuke my
'oyous mood, as if we had no right to be
u ppy while nature, withering in her pomp,
: -d the sickly moon wasting in the blaze of

«-n‘

 

 

uoontide, were there to remind us of ‘the
gone forever?

“ ‘They will all renew themselves, dear
Mary,’ said I, ‘and there is one that will ever
keep tryst alike with thee and nature through
all seasons, if thou wilt but be true to one of
us, and remain as now a child of nature.’

“A tear sprang to her eye, and then search-
ing her pocket for her card case, she remem-
bered an engagement to be present at Miss
Lawson’s opening of fall bonnets at 2 o’clock!

“And yet, dear, wild, wayward Mary, I
thought of her now. You have probably
outlived this sort of thing, sir; but I, looking
at the moon, as I floated there upturned to
her yellow light, thought of the loved being
whose tears I knew would flow when she
heard of my singular fate, at once so gro-
tesque, yet melancholy to awfulness

“And how often we have talked, too, of
that Carian shepherd who spent his damp
nights upon the hills, gazing as I do on the
lustrous planet! Who will revel with her
amid those old superstitions? Who, from our
own unlegended woods, will evoke their yet
undetected haunting spirits? Who peer with
her in prying scrutiny into nature’s laws,
and challenge the whispers of poetry from
the voiceless throat of matter? Who laugh
merrily over the stupid guess work of ped-
ants, that never mingled with the infinitude
of nature, through love exhaustless and all-
embracing, as we have? Poor girl! she will
be companionloss. '

“Alas! companionless forever—save in the
exciting stages of some brisk flirtation. She
will live hereafter by feeding other hearts
with love’s lore she has learned from me, and
then, Pygmalion like, grow fond of the
images she has herself endowed with sem-
blance of divinity. How anxious she will be
lest the coroner shall have discovered any of
her notes in my pocket!

“I felt chilly as this. last reflection crossed
my mind, partly at thought of the coroner,
partly at the idea of Mary being unwillingly
compelled to wear mourning for me, in case
of such a disclosure of our engagement. It
is a provoking thing for a girl of 19 to have
to go into mourning for a deceased lover at
the beginning of her secoud winter in the me-
tropolis. . . '

“The water, though, with my motionless
position, must have had something to do with
my chilliness. I see, sir, you think that I tell
my story with great levity; but indeed I
should grow delirious did I venture to hold
steadily to the awfulness of my feelings the
greater part of that night. I think, indeed,
I must have been most of the time hysterical
with horror, for the vibrating emotions I
have recapitulated did pass through my
brain, even as I have detailed them.

“But as I now became calm in thought I
summoned up again some resolution of action.

“I will begin at that corner (said I), and
swim around the whole inclosure. I will swim
slowly and again feel the sides of the tank
with my feet. If die I must, let me perish at
least from well directed though exhausting
effort, not sink from mere bootless weariness
in sustaining myself till the morning shall
bring relief.

“The sides of the place seemed to grow
higher as I now kept my watery course beneath
them. It was not altogether a dead pull. I
had some variety of emotion in making my
circuit. When I swam in the shadow, it
looked to me more cheerful beyond in the
moonlight. When I swam in the moon-
light I had the hope of making some
discovery when Iuvnshould again ,reach the
shadow. 'j I turned §everal times on my back
to rest just where those wavy lines would
meet. The stars looked viciously light to me
from the bottom of that well; there was such
a company of them; they weresoglad in their
lustrous revehy; and they had such space to
move in! I m alone, sad to despair in a
strange element. prisoned, and a solitary
gazer upon their chorus. And yet there was
nothing else with'which I could hold com-
munion!

“I turned upon my breast and struck out
almost frantically once more. The stars
were forgotten; the moon, the very world of
which I as yet formed a part, my poor Mary
herself, were forgotten. I thought only of
the strong man there perishing; of me in my
lusty manhood, in the sharp vigor of my
dawning prime, with faculties illimitablc,
with senses all alert, battling there with
physical obstacles which men like myself had
brought together for my undoing. The Eter-
nal could never have willed this thing! I
could not and I would .not perish thus. And
I grew strong in insolence of self trust, and I
laughed aloud as I dashed the sluggish water
aside.

“Then came an emotion of pity for myself
-—of wild, wild regret; of sorrow, oh, infinite,
for a fate so desolate, a doom so dreary, so
heart sickening! You may laugh at the con-
tradiction if you will, sir, but I felt that I
could sacrifice my own life on the instant, to
redeem another fellow creature from such a
place of horror, from an end so piteous. My
soul and my vital spirit seemed in that des—
perate moment to be separating; while one
in parting grieved over the deplorable fate
of the other.

“And then I prayed! I prayed, why or
wherefore I know not. It was not from fear.
It could not have been in hope. The days of
miracles are passed, and there was no natural
law by whose interposition I could be saved.
I did not pray; it prayed of itself, my soul
within me.

“Was the calmness that I now felt, tor—

pidity? the torpidity that precedes disolu—
tion1 to the strong swimmer who, sinking
from exhausion, must at last add a bubble to
the waves as he suffocetos beneath the ele-
ment which now denied his mastery? If it
were so, how fortunate was it that my float-
ing rod at that moment attracted my atten-
tion as it dashed through the water by me. I
saw on the instant that a fish had entangled
himself in the wire me. The rod quivered,
plunged, came again to the surface, and rip-
pled the water as it shot in arrowy flight from
side to side of the tank. At last driven
toward the southeast corner of the reservoir,
the small end seemed to have got foul some
where. The brazen butt, which, every time
the fish sounded, was thrown up to the moon,
now sank by its own weight, showing that
the other end must befast. But the cornered
fish, evidently anchored somewhere by that
short wire, floundered several times to the
surface before I thoughtof striking out to the
spot. .
“The water is low now, and tolerably clear.
You may see the very ledge them, sir, in
yonder corner, on which the small end of my
rod restedwhen I secumd that pike with my
hands. I did not take him from the slip
noose, however, but, standing upon the ledge,
handled the rod in a workmanlike manner as
I flung that pound pickerel over the iron
railing upon the top of the parapet. The
rod, as I have told you, barely reached from
the railing to the water. It was a heavy,
strong bass rod, and when I discovered that
theflshattheendof thewiremadeastrong
enough knot to prevent me from drawing
my tackle away from the railing around
which it twined itself as I threw, why, as
you can at once see, I had but little difficulty
in making my way up the face of the wall
with such assistance.

Molasses Tutors. .

The professional molasses taster isamartyr.
Imagine a. men having to sample twenty-five
or thirty grades of that sirup and then try to
eat a square meal. He can’t eat a squat!
meal, you will say. Oh, yes he can, is tit
reply. To be sure he tastes of thirty kiwi
of molasses in one day, but he does not swal-
low a particle, at least not more than a parti-
cle. This requires practice, this abstinence
from swallowing, and is the great difiiculg
in the beginner’s path. He must protect his
teeth, too, and therefore his masticators re
quire careful cleansing, not alone to prevent
decay, but in order to keep his gustatory
sense perfectly neutral.

“I have been a molasses taster for several
years,” said a Boston man, “and I assure
you mine is no easy job. There is a strain
that the occupation imposes, and one that
many succumb to, and therefore quit the

busines. The tongue, being very sensitive,‘

requires great care, and therefore I feel it
best not to use tobacco, sweetmeats or highly
seasoned food. Doctors tell me that sugar of
itself does not injure the teeth, but that after
remaining on them for some time undergoes
a chemical change from the saliva and food,
and that the chemical result is corrosive.

“Whether that is so or no 1 know that my
teeth have suffered from this business, al-
though I take extraordinary care. The dif-
ference in taste between some grades of mo-
lasses is so slight that the tongue must be in
a perfectly neutral condition in order to be
an accurate guide. But not only must the
tongue be cared for, but mouth, lips and
teeth must be as free as possible from any
foreign substance.

“In tasting of the various brands I place
only a drop on the most sensitive part of the
tongue. I try to keep it away from the lips
mouth and teeth, but do not always succeed.
Now to discriminate between twenty-five
samples I must keep a. clear head, concentrate
my attention, and make, as it were, an in—
stantaneous analysis. To do this faithfufly
requires brain work that book writers know
nothing about. In fact, a day at honest,
pains taking molasses tasting is a day of hard,
I almost said, solitary labor. ”—Boston Her

i
False Alarm.
A. Cambridge gentleman was wired to buy
a ticket to the firemen’s ball, and good na-
turedly complied. The next question was
what to do with it. One of his twa man ser-
vents would probably be glad to use it, but
he did not wish to show favoritism. Then it
occurred to him that he might buy another
ticket, and give both his servantsa pleasure.
Not knowing just how to proceed he in-
quired of a policeman where the tickets were

to be had. “Why don’t you go down to the
engine house?” said the officer. “The men all
know you. ”

So the old gentleman went to the engine
house; but when he entered there was no one
in sight. He had never been in sucha place
before, but was perfectly familiar with the
use of electric signals. On the side of the
room was a button, evidently connected with
a. bell, and, naturally enough, after waiting
a. minute or two, he put his thumb upon it.

The effect was electrical in every sense of
the word. From the air overhead—so, at
least, it seemed to the old gentleman, in his
bewilderment—men began to rain down,
completing their toilets as they fell. The
horses rushed out of their stalls, and, in a
word, all the machinery of a modern engine
house wasinstuntly inmotion.

Amid all this turmoil stood the mild man-
nered and innocent old gentleman, who, even
now, did not suspect that he had touched the
fire alarm The men rushed upon him for
information as to the whereabouts of the
fire, but when he opened his mouth it was
only to say, in the mildest accents: .

“I should like to buy another ticket to the
ball, if you please.”

The situation was so ludicrous that no one
could be angry, not even the men whose nap
had been broken into, and the old gentleman
bought his ticket and departed in peace.—

Curious Chinese Customs.

When a Chinaman desires a visitor to dine
with him he does not ask him to do so, but
when he does not wish him to stay he puts
the question: “Won’t you stay and dine with
me, please?” The visitor will then know he
is not wanted. -

IVhen a Chinaman expects a present an
it does not come he sends one of lesser value.

A rich man’s servant gets no salary, yet
many are the applicant's; while big salaries

are paid' to the servants of the common peo-

ple, but few make applications. The per-
quisites of the former often more than triple
the salaries of the latter, which is the sole
reason of these differences To encourage
honesty and sincerity, confidential clerks and
salesmen in all branches of industry receive
an annual net percentage of the firm’s busi-
new, besides their regular salary.

The highest ambition of a Chinaman is to
have a nice coffin and a fine funeral.

In China one can always borrow money on
the strength of having a son, but nobody
would advance him a cent if he had a dozen
daughters. The former is responsible for the
debtof his father for three generations. The
latter is only responsible for the debts of her
own husband—St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.

How a Cable Message 15 Received.

Only the feeblest currents shouldbeumd
on submarine lines, since heavy pulses which
could be employed with Mpunity on land
lines, if they did not soon destroy the cable
covering, would at least tend to develop
faults which otherwise might long remain
latent. Defects in cable covering that other-
wisemaynotleadto harm admit moisture,
and hence, under the action of a strong cur-
rent, oxides are quickly formed, destroying
insulation. The necessaryuse in oceantelf
egmphy of the lightest currents healed to
the development of a clam of recording in-
struments remarkable for delicacy of adieu
—notably the siphon recorder, which indi-
cates the electric impulses by a wavy inkllne

on a tape, and the reflecting galvunometer,’

which causosaspot of light to movemm

these recorders and thirtycells of battery,
