1, TO A LOST LOVE.

I cannot look upon thy grave,
Though there the rose is sweet;
Better to hear the long waves wash

These wastes about my feet.

Shall I take comfort? dost thou live
A spirit, though at r,

With deep hush abo thee, like
The silence round a star?

1 Or dost fulfill upon the wind

l Some heavenly behest?

‘ But wherefore, then, this loneliness,
More awful than unrest?

No, I should feel thee like a fire,

- Should know if. thou wert near!

Couldst thou pass by me like the wind
And I not start and hear?

Nay !——if I knew thee thus-thy laugh,
Thy look, thy charm, thy tone,

Thy sweet and wayward earthliness,
Dear trivial things, are gone.

Ah, God! when life hath lost its fire,
Life‘s age to thee may bow—

Wheu we can only laugh at love—
But ah! not now—not now!

Therefore I look not on thy grave,
Though there the rose is sweet;
But rather here the long waves was
These wastes about my feet.
—S. Phillips in Temple Bar.

THE LADY SMILED.

The Saturday afternoon train at Point
Tiburon was crowded as usual and people
were streaming through the cars in the hur-
ried search for vacant seats. Little Mr. Tom
N. Oddy, who was just starting out on his
two days’ vacation, knew there would be this
rush and so was among the first to scamper
off the boat, clamber into the nearest coach,
and pre-empt the best middle seat on the shady
side of the car. Then, after the miserable
fashion of his kind, he proceeded to cover the
entire seat with himself, his overcoat, his cane
and his valise.

This exercise of selfishness accomplished, he
drew an evening paper from his pocket and
pretended to be absorbed in the baseball re-
ports. As he read, however, he could not
help being conscious of a persistent shadow
,that fell upon the sheet. Other shadows went
forward and backward like jostling silhou-
ettes, but this one stayed. Glancing out of
the corner of his right eye, he sawasmall
:black gloved hand resting upon the top ofthe
seat just where his overcoat lay, and then, cu-
riosity leading him further afield, he glanced
still more and found that the hand belonged
to one of the most charming women it had
ever been his undeserved good fortune to see.

Her face was rather pale, almost sallow in-

deed, but lit up by a pair of great black
eyes that were as luminous as a child’s and
as gentle as a doe’s. The nose was short,
straight, but rather too stout; the mouth
was full and red, with a provoking little
droop to the lower lip; and the chin was
round and slightly double. The eyebrows
were heavy and the hair was black with a
coppery tint at the edges. The dress was
black, relieved by three great damask roses
at the bosom, and was so draped as to show,
with some degree 'of accuracy, a lithe but
well rounded figure.
, It may be repeated that little Mr. Tom N.
.Oddy felt that he had never before seen so
bewitching a creature, and when she looked
at him in a pleading, timorous way and
asked in a low voice if “this seat were en-
gaged,” he swept his things out of the way
with asingle movement and declared him-
self delighted to be able to say it was not.
She thanked him with a little faltering
smile and sat down.

She was unprovided with current litera-
ture, and so little Mr. Tom N. Oddy, as the
first advance toward his determined plan of
'making himself agreeable, offered her part
of his paper. At this she stiffened some-
what, then prettily declined the offer, saying
that it hurt her eyes to read on the train.
As she said so she turned those beautiful orbs
of hers upon the young man, and just to
show that he knew what was proper under

the circumstances, he replied that no book or ,

paper that had yet been written was worth
spoiling those eyes over. She threw up the
lids a little more at this, then smiled again
and lifted her shoulders in something very
near a shrug.

Little Mr. Tom N. Oddy observed this——he
.was a very observing young man—and haz—
arded the remark that she was a foreigner.

“N 0,” she replied, “I was born in Cali-
fornia.”

“Ah, indeed,” said he, with fine spirit, “so
was I—so that we are a native son and
daughter of the Golden W'cst, and therefore
related.”

“That’s quite ingenious,” she remarked;
“are you a lawyer?”

“N 0,” he answered, getting rather red in
the face; “I’m connected with Messrs. Sock,
Tie 65 CO.”

“I have a—a friend who deals there,” said
she sweetly; “are you one of the partners?”-

“No,” he replied, feeling very warm about
the ears; “I have charge of the suspender de—
partment.”

“Oh, that must be very nice,” said she;
“such a pleasant, clean business, isn’t it?”

“Yes,” he replied, but wit-bout any very
great enthusiasm, for this was a subject on
which he did not particularly care to con-
verse. He did not mind it when he was with
the “fellows” who earned their living in the
same “state of life,” but at present, when he
was deeply possessed of the necessity of mak—
ing an impression on this beautiful creature,
he felt that the topic was one that ought to
be changed as speedily as possible. So,
grasping his cane in such a way as to bring
a flashing ring within range of those lovely
eyes, he asked their owner if she was going
.far.

“To Santa Rosa,” she said; “and you ?”

“Oh, I’m going on back of Cloverdale for
a little roughing it,” he said with delightful
airiness, although he forgot to add that the
scene of the roughing was his mother’s ranch.

“Does it hurt you—to rough it i” she asked,
with such gentle interest, that he thought he
had never met with anything quite so tender
and unsophisticated.

“Bless you, no,” he cried: “why it‘s the
pleasantest kind of a life. Fresh air, fresh
milk, and an occasional bear”—

“Bears!” she cried; “but surely those
nasty hugging things must be dangerous?”

“Of course they are,” said he, valiantly;
“but I go well prepared. I have a revolver
in my valise and this cane is a sword cane.”

“Is it really, now?” she asked, with ready
interest; “how does it work? But perhaps
it is not right to display, it here.”

“I don’t know but what you’re right,” a5-
sented little Mr. Tom N. Oddy, “especially
as that fellow across the way has done noth-
ing but stare at us ever since the train
started. I must say he’s exceedingly imper-
tinentto go looking like that at people he
'don’t know.” .

“Ah, but that’s not all,” said she; “would
:you believe it, that man has followed me ever
since I left my house, got on the same boat,
:and now here he is on the same train. Oh, if
'71 Only— But there, don’t let’s notice him.
,Tell me about your bear hunts and how you
,wduld use your knife if you saw a bear going
to hug me.”

Little Mr. Tom N. Oddy was trying hard

remember the most exciting bear adven-
ture he had ever read of, when the engin:
gave a shrill toot.

 

 

 

 

NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 11 1889.

“Oh, my!” cried she, laying her hand on
little Mr. Tom N. Oddy’s arm; “I do believe
we’re going through a tunnel.”

There was no doubt about it, and with an-
other toot the engine plunged into the long,
black hole. A wild, wicked hope leaped up
in little Mr. Tom N. Oddy’s little mind, but
it only lived a moment, for there, directly
over the next seat, was hung a lighted lamp.
It only burned dimly, andghe light it gave
out in the blackness of the tunnel was very
faint, but it was quite enough to stay little
Mr. Tom N. Oddy from doing the desperate
thing he had contemplated. He could see the
pale outline of her face and two lustrous
spots, which showed where her eyes were
gleaming; but so, too, he could see the oval
of that fellow’s face across the way, and was
very sure that in the upper half of that oval,
just where it was cut by the dark line of the
hat brim, there were two other eyes which
were fixed very persistently in his direction.
There was no use trying to talk against the
roar of the tunnel, but when they Were clear
of it and in the light once more little Mr.
Tom N. Oddy gave vent to his feelings by
saying:

“Confound that lamp!”

“thy? Does it smoke?” she asked, with
gentle solicitude in both her look and tone.

“No,” he said; “but if it had not been lit,
the car would have. been dark in the tunnel,
and then”—

“Then, what?”

“lVell, one is so much bolder in the dark,”
he replied, with Machiavellian evasiveness.

“I lon’t you think you are bold enough in
the light?” she asked, with captivating arch-
llOSS.

“Sometimes,” he answered.

There was a short silence, during which
little Mr. Tom N. Oddy brought his diamond
ring into better view, and attempted to find
out whether her feet were on the floor or on
the rest bar.

“That is the only tunnel on this part of the
road, is it not?” she asked.

Little Mr. Tom N. Oddy gave a start. “N o,
indeed,” he said, “there are three more be-
tween this and San Rafael.”

She sat quietly again, looking pensively at
her folded hands.

“Is your sword stick hollow?” she asked
with curious interest, considering the ap-
parent irrelevancy of the question.

“Stick hollow?” he repeated; “yes, it’s a.
Chinese bamboo; that is with the joints bored
out. Do you wish to examine it?” ‘

“No,” she answered, with a smile like a. sun-
beam ; “only I was thinking that if the ferrule,
or whatever you call that brass thimble thing
at the end of the stick, were cut off and the
sword removed, it would make a splendid
blow pipe.”

“Well, well,” he stammered, confusedly,
“what in the world do I want of a blow pipe?”

“Oh, nothing, I suppose,” she answered,
with another flash of smile, “only I was
thinking, also, that if any one had such a
blow pipe it would just about reach from
here to that lamp, and that a little, well di-
rected puff would blow it out without any
one being the wiser.”

“Oh, you angel,” said little Mr. Tom N.
Oddy, and, with two motions, he whipped
out the sharp sword blade and slashed off the
ferule.

As he did so there came another warning
toot from the engine and a little smothered
cry from his side.

“Why, here’s another tunnel,” she cried.

Then, in the gathering darkness, little Mr.
Tom N. Oddy cunningly laid the bamboo
tube along the side of the car until the fur-
ther end was just under the lamp glass, set
his mouth to the near end, gave a sharp puff,
and, presto! the car was in what is sometimes
known as Egyptian LIEU. hues”. There IVES a
chorus of cries and smacking sounds from all
over the car as the light went out, but little
Mr. Tom N. Oddy minded none of these, but
turned in a tremble of excitement to snatch
his reward from his captivating companion.

As he flung out his arms to makea prisoner
of the dainty beauty at his side, they were
seized by two hands of iron, and then little
Mr. Tom N. Oddy felt himself irresistibly
drawn down and doubled up over two un-
doubtedly male knees. Then one of those
iron hands was swiftly drawn away, and, be-
fore little Mr. Tom N. Oddy knew what was
happening, he was treated to a castigation of
that basic order which vigorous mothers
sometimes administer to rebellious sons. Then
he was lifted up as suddenly as he had been
drawn down and planted, with a jerk, in his
corner. Before he had recovered his breath
the train was rushing into the daylight once
more, and there, sitting quietly at his side
and reading his paper, was the stalwart
young man of the opposite seat.

“How—dare”—little Mr. Tom N. Oddy be-
gan, with a fierce pant, when the young man
turned slowly on him and said, in a ponder-
Ous bass voice:

“Please accept my thanks for your kind at-
tentions to my wife.”

“Your wife!” gasped little Mr.
Oddy, and, glancing wildly across the aisle,
he saw the lovely creature sitting dcmurely
in the young man’s scat. Demurely only for
a moment, however, for then a merry,
wicked light sprang into those ravishing
eyes, and——

The lady smiled—Thomas J. Vivian in
The Argonaut.

Getting Money and Stamps by Fraud.

An old gentleman with bent form and
watery eyes wandered about in the vicinity
of the postoifice with an envelope in his
hand addressed to "Marie Maroniski, Phila-
delphia, Pa.” At intervals he would stop
pedestrians and ask for two cents to buy a
stamp so that, as he said, he could send his
letter to his daughter in Philadelphia, at the
same time showing the envelope. He got
either money or a stamp very frequently,
but both money and stamps went into a
pocket. One man asked to see the envelope,
and on getting it held it up to the sun.
There was no paper in it. When the old
man got his envelope back from this man he
shuffled around to the Broadway side of the
building—New York Sun.

need of a roosting place, but, being short on

Life.

Life is similar to a roadway—ewe are warn-
ed at the first step we take that it leads to a.
deadly precipice which will appear at an un-
looked for moment, and which we must fall,
for the law of this life is “ever onward.”

“That I could retrace my steps,” we cry
as we advance in years.

“Onward! onward!” an invisible power
and invisible force drags us, as it were, ever
onward; without hesitation or pause we
must onward to the fatal precipice.

Thousands of afllictions and anxieties,
pains, cares and privations fatigue and tor-
ture us on the way.

“Could I avoid that fall !” we cry in her-
ror—and again that mysterious voice and
power. -

“Onward! onward!” one must push for-
ward in a lVandering Jew fashion, hasten
madly, rashly, such is the velocity of years.

At times we come across objects which de-
light us, which help us to forget, flowing
waters, flowers that lose their perfume and
fade. One would stop, a little rest—a minute,
an instant, “onward!” and in the meantime
we see disappear behind us all that we have
passed. Frightful crash! inevitable ruin!

We console ourselves as we return home
with flowers gathered on the way—Which we
see fade at nightfall—some fruit, which we
lose on partaking.

lVill-ol-the—wisp, with your lantern bright,
you attract us, you lead us onward with your
dazzling light until the abyss is reached.

Already allgood things begin to disappear
and blot themselves from our sight. The
vegetation grows in less abundance and rich—
ness, flowers seem less brilliant and fragrant;
prairies lose their enchantment for us; the
waters run less clear; all grows dull, all fades.

The shadow of death hovers about us; one
has the presentiment of having reached the
fatal abyss—we are on its edgc~one more
step! Already the horror bewilders the
senses, the brain whirls, the eyes grow wild.
“Onward!” One turns back. Alas! all has
fallen, all has vanished, all dropped away.—
From the French of Augustine Duclos.

The Rattler’s llIistake.

When Justice of the Peace Kehoe returned
from a month’s sojourn at Rubicon Springs
he related the following amusing incident,
which for a time relieved the monotony of
life at that secluded mountain resort:

While wandering about in the vicinity of
Rockbound lake, accompanied by a boy, the
judge was struck on the leg by the fangs of a
large rattlesnake. The boy witnessed the
snake strike the judge’s leg and ran back to
the hotel at Rubicon and gave the alarm.

A rescue party was hurriedly organized by
the guests. The party, armed with at least a
barrel of whisky in flasks, decanters and bet-

‘tles, hastened in the direction of the spot

where the judge had been bitten by the ven-
omous reptile. The members of the rescue
party had not proceeded far on their humane
mission when they observed the judge ap-
proaching—his usual limp in walking seemed
greatly intensified to their alarmed imagina-
tions.

A grand rush was made for the judge and
a hundred flasks were instantly uncorked, the
odor of whisky supplanting that of fragrant
pines, firs and wild flowers—~each owner of a
flask being eager to have the judge first par-
take of the contents, and others endeavoring
to strip his trousers off to apply healing oint-
ments to the wound.

The judge finally was able to explain that
he had been struck on the leg by a rattler,
and while indicating with his finger the spot
where the reptile’s poisonous fangs struck,
remarked that it was his wooden leg that
had been bitten, and therefore him wmmr‘l
would not prove serious. The judge after-
ward killed the snake and exhibited the end
of the tail as a trophy, which is ornamented
with seven rattles—Virginia Chronicle.

Seasickness.

Mr. W'hittingdale states that while acting
as surgeon to the Peninsular and Oriental
Steam Navigation company, he tried at
different times most of the remedies recom-
mended for seasickness, such as bromide of
sodium, cocaine, nitrate of amyl, etc., with
very unsatisfactory results. The following
method, based on the treatment of chloro—
form sickness, however, proved most success-
ful. A tumbler of tepid water is first admin-
istered to the patient. This, of course, is
generally quickly returned, but soothes the
stomach. Then a warm mustard and linseed
poultice, in the proportion of one part of
mustard to two of linseed, is applied to the
epigastric region, and the following draught
given a quarter of an hour after the tepid
water: Chloral hydrate, ‘20 grains; simple
sirup, 1 drachm; water, to an ounce.

If this be rejected, our correspondent be-
gins de move with the tepid water and repeats
the draught. After the draught has been
taken and retained, the patient is ordered to
lie in his berth, and sleep usually follows.
On waking the swimming in the head and
nausea have disappeared, and he is able to go
on deck. Mr. H. W'akefield considers that
any one who has seen much of this malady
can hardly doubt that its origin is mental,
and in a large majority of cases the imagin-
ation is the source of trouble—for instance,
he has seen on several occasions ladies suffer-
ing from seasickness before the ship had left
its moorings in the dock, where there is not
the least sign of motion. Iced stimulants
and the recumbent posture are remedies
which he now employs, after a careful trial
of all the so called speci ‘cs extending over a
period of six years—London Lancet.

 

A Jewel in a Serpcnt’s Head.
It is doubtful whether Shakespeare’s toad,
Ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
but there is a belief current in all parts of
India that a certain variety of snakes called
Shesh Nag, when it attains the age of 1,000
years, has a precious jewel formed in its
head. This jewel, it is affirmed, possesses the
quality of sucking up the poison of the dead-

- liest snake, if applied to the wounded part.
, Strangely enough, a Parsee gentleman is re-

puted to possess this invaluable jewel, accord-
ing to a correspondent of a Gujarati weekly

The correspondent says that when the pres-
ent owner—Who, by the way, is now 63—was
23 years old, he lighted upon a snake of the
above mentioned variety, which he killed.
Then he found the jewel in his head. It has
already saved several lives. Last year,when
Mr. Vidal, the collector of the district, was
there it was shown to him too. The jewel is
said to contain a thin, crescent like fiber,
which unceasingly oscillates in the center.
His highness the gaikwar of Baroda, his
highness the maharajah of Kolhapur and sev-
eral other native princes are said to have
offered several hundred thousand' rupees for
this unique jewel. The name of the owner is
Mr. Framji Dadabhal Govekar, Tarapur,
Bombay Presidency. —Notes and Queries.
