Ae he halted near the stream. Old Sam complied in silence. But the keen eyes closely scanned The couple as they drifted From the bright shore's golden sand. "That's the doctor's gal," he muttered, "That lives down here below ; "" But the stranger that is with her Is a chap that I don't know; But 1 guess that he needs watching, I don't like his look, nor tone; XH keep my ejes upon him-- I've a darker of my owu. * As he poled his boat in 6ilence He snook his grizzled head, And bis keen ears caught each whisper, Each low word that was said.

"My fatherwill reward you If you'll here a moment stay, F' r the kindness you have shown me Mere thanks can ne'er repay." Bat not a cent of money Would the ferryman receive; But slyly o'er his misty eyes, He drew a ragged sleeve; And answered all entreaties In a rather husky tone: "I've done nott ing but my duty-- I've a darter of my own." "All I want is just a bottle Filled with suthin' good and strong. For 'tis tiresome palling up stream. And the way is somewhat long." So the honest boatman left them With a bottle of the best ; Safely stowed within the pocket Of his ragged-looking vest. THE FOILED RIVAL. BY ROGER 8TAKBUCK. •ccv Kf ANY years ago, in £T\ \Y\//lf an old farm-house f v * \ V I o n o n t ® k i r t s o f I ^^'i*ms^arKh, ^ ^ ' •<5"' I there lived a \ beautiful young ^ girl» named Mary J \ Melton, with an ^ r / old uncle, an En­ glishman, who bad been a Tory during the Revolutionary war. The house may still be seen--some­ what altered, it is true, by the numer­ ous repairs which have been made-- situated on Frost Street, near a marsh extending parallel with the road of the Cross-Town line of cars, which run to Hunter's Point. Mary was a brunette, whose glorious dark eyes and brilliant olive complexion were the admiration of all the swains in tbe neighborhood. Among the list of Mary's suitors was a tall, broad-shoul­ dered farmer named Benjamin Will­ iams, and a voung sailor, who was termed "Brown Tom." That she favored one or the other of these two was generally believed, al­ though people ooold not determine which. Sometimes it was Williams, and at other times Brown Tom who escorted her to the village church. Henry Melton, the uncle, favored his own countryman, Williams, Tom having been born in Boston; but Mary, while, for her uncle's sake, enduring to visits of Williams, loved Tom. Williams, who had sufficient penetra­ tion to perceive this, hated his rival with all his heart. Having occasion to vi*it a relative living near Astoria, Melton gave the key of his house to Farmer Williams, leav- idg him in charge of the premises. To Tom he said nothing* of hin in­ tended departure, and as he had gone off with his child in the night, the •oung sailor knew uothiug of it until the following evening, when' he called at the house, to lind Williams the sole occupant. "Come in." said the farmer, with as­ sumed cordiality--"come in." Tom did so, and the two men soon were seated face' to face in tbe back room, where tliere was a cheerful fire.' "When will they come home?" in­ quired Tom, when the farmer had en­ lightened him regarding their absence. uln a fortnight hence," answered Williams. "Not till then!" cried Tom aghast. "Why, the Northern Light--my craft, you know--sails in a few days for the East Indies and 1 will have to go off without seeing them. I had intended before I left Here he paused and colored. Will- aims, looking at him keenly, said: "Goon. You were saving you had intended " "Nevermind. We will say no more about that," answered Tom,'laughing. "Guess I'll go to Astoria before 1 sail, as I must see her era I start on so long a voyage." "Tom," said Williams, "it is no use; you cannot deceive me. You want to propose to Mary before you go. Well, I can save you the trouble. Her uncle has promised her to me." "Her uncle," cried Tom, "has nothing to do with the matter. The women like to chose in these things for them­ selves, and have their own way." Farmer Williams paled and reddened by turns. "As a friend of Mr. Melton." said he, "it is not right that I should listen to such language. I will not permit you to rob hinfof that girl." "Avast, if you please," answered Tom. "If she chooses to have me, I'll have her in spite of her uncle or any other living man." "And I say it shall not be," cried Will­ iams. As he spoke Williams picked up the fire-poker and shook it in the face of Tom, who pushed him to the other side of the room, and a desperate struggle ensued between the two men. Both were so strong and resolute that for some time the result of the conflict seemed doubtful. Over and over on the floor they rolled, pounding at each other with right good will. At last Tom's iron frame proved too much for Williams. He got the latter under him, and soon compelled him to cry out for quarter. Instantly Tom let him up. His face, black with suppressed rage, was a horrible sight to see. He pro­ cured a basin of water, and proceeded to wash himself. When he was through Tom extended hiH hand. "Let us hold no grudge," said he. Instead of taking the proffered hand, Williams snatohed a hatchet from a nail, where it hung, and rushed upon the unprepared young man. He'flang it straight at the latter's head, but fortunately, the blunt side only struck him, otherwise it must have sunk into his brain. As it was he fell like a log, senseless to the floor. Williams concluded he had killed him, and examining the body discovered that he had inflicted a frightful gash upon the sailor's head, from which the blood was streaming profusely. Williams washed the wounded head and in various ways endeavored to re­ store the young man to consciousness. "He is dead," muttered the wretched man, "and I shall be hanged for the crime. What shfell I do! What can I do?" Gradually he grew calm, and reflect­ ed that it was night wheb Tom entered the house, and therefore that no person had seen him. "He had probably left word at the boarding-house where he lodged, that he should go to Astoria that day, and then to his ship,the Northern Light, He would not therefore be expected back. In course of time inquiries would probably be made, and people would wonder what had become of him; but as he had neither father, mother, nor other relatives living, these inquiries, it was not thought likely, would be pushed very far. "It is only necessary to hide the body," was therefore the murderer's I final conclusion. | Where should he hide it ? The cellar j had been built over the ruins of a dried 1 well. In this well Mr. Melton had been wont to keep his superfluous provisions; | but he had lately concluded that the j place was too damp, and had decided to have the top of the well closed up by a mason. Williams, a sort of Jack-at-all-trades, had agreed to do this, so there was an excellent chance for him to get rid of the body. He would deposit it in the well, and at once go to work to close it np, pre­ tending to Melton when the latter should return, that he had done the job, thinking it would prove an agreeable surprise to him. Accordingly he procured a rope and, fastening one end around the body, he lowered the latter into the well, throwing the rope down after it He then returned up stairs, closing ! but not fastening the cellar after htm. He resolved, as early as possible next morning, to procure his materials for fastening up the well. He parsed a sleepless night, and at 5 o'clock in the morning was at work, and in a couple of hours had accom­ plished the task. As he had expected, days passed and no suspicion was excited or inquiry made regarding Brown Tom. Melton finally returned with his niece, the latter looking lovlier than ever. In fact, some new joy seemed to glow in her cheeks and sparkle in her beautiful eyes. Williams courted her vig­ orously, butshe treated all his advances with the most contemptuous indiffer­ ence. He complained to her uncle, and the latter exhorted, entreated, and even threatened, but all to no purpose. "I am determined you shall marry Williams," said he. "It » useless, uncle," answered Mary, her eyes sparkling. "If I must tell you the truth, Tom Barton, the young sailor, is the only man I could era* love enough to wed." "Barton * And how has that youn# rascal treated you? Gone off to sea without leaving you a word. It is plain he cares nothing for you, I should think pride alone would cure you of suoh a foolish attachment." Mary said nothing. Her lashes drooped and she colored deeply, but a smile hovering round her pretty lips showed that what her uncle had said had not troubled her in the least. Mr. Melton was mu<& annoyed, but he consoled himself with the thought that all women are mysteries difficult to unravel. Williams continued to call. SLiee the fearful right we have mentioned, he had grown thm and pale, for the gashed head of the young sailor haunted his imagination sleeping or waking. Still he was more determined than ever to win Mary Melton for his wife. He had run a terrible risk--had stained his coul with crime--to obtain her, and the fearful work should not be for nothing. One dsrk winter's night, left alone with her in the parlor, he pleaded hard; pleaded on his knees. "No, I can never be your wife," she answered, resolutely, and rose to leave the room. "Back!" exdlaimed her uncle, enter­ ing with suspicious suddenness; "you shall have him'or by Heaveu, I will turn you into the street!" ,: He caught her by tfo wrist and drew hter toward Williams. "There!" he cried, fiercely; "promise to marry him, or leave my house for­ ever. Which shall it be?" "I prefer to leave your house," she answered, resolutely. She rose and swept out of the room to her own, through the windows of which, however, she looked anxiously, as if expecting some person. Suddenly she drew baok with a joyful cry. "He comes! he comes!" There was a knock at the street-door. Mary ran down and opened it, swift aa a fawn. Then she entered the parlor, arm-in-* arm with a fine-looking young man, on seeing whom Williams drew back with a cry of superstitious tiorror. It was Tom Barton, the young sailor! "Behold my husband!" cried Mary, in thrilling accents. "Ay, married to the dead!" groaned the superstitious WilHams, and fell senseless on the floor. When he came to, explanations fol­ lowed. Tom, it seemed, had recovered his senses soon after being put into well, and by mefins of the broken wall had ascended to the cellar. Thence he had crawled through one of the holes in the foundation, and made his way to the street. The blow he had received had made him lightheaded. He wandered to Bchooner, which was to sail for Astoria, the captain of which was a friend of his. The vessel reached Astoria next day. Tom had now recovered his reason, and contrived to get a note tD Mary. She came day after day. and nursed him in one of the town hospitals. He urged her to marry him at once. She pitied him and did bo--the secret to be kept from her uncle until Tom should come after her. As shown, he at last recov­ ered sufficiently to oarty out this pur­ pose. What more need be added? Williams, in the relief of knowing that atter all he was not a murderer, was almost reconciled to Mary's having become the wife of his rival. As to Mr. Melton, on hearing how Williams had behaved, he bade him never enter his house again. "I will now go into the street, as you bade me," said Mary, taking her hus' band's arm. "No! no!" exclaimed the old man; "] --I--will try to forgive you!" Mary, therefore, remained with her uncle, while Tom went to sea. In a few years the young sailor came home, after a successful voyage, which had made him almost a rich man. _ Three years later he gave up a sea life, and became a prosperous merchant, happy in the society of his charming wife and children.--New York Weekly, Whst Poems are Not Wanted. The Ladies' Home Journal gives very good advice about poems which are written and declined and says: The reason why so many of the unsolicited poems are declined by the magazines of to-day may, perhaps, best be given by means of some hints to would-be con­ tributors as to what they should not do. All of these hints are baaed upon actual experience with poems submitted to magazines. Don't send long, gloomy poems of from one to four hundred lines. From four to forty lines is the most available length, and one bright, cheerful poem dues more good than fifty "broken­ hearted" ones. It also stands a better chance of acceptance. Don't t-end ))oems that have already been published. To some this caution seems unnecessary; yet hundreds of persons tend poems already printed elsewhere. Don't send the same poem than one magazine at a time. Don't seud translations. The magazine avoids them. Don't send poems that you mav sure are unsuitable. You can find this out by studying the poetry the maga­ zine prints. Notice what it don't print, and send the other kind. So much poetrv is received that the field of se­ lection is wide, and only the best stands a chance of success. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the last "don't" above. | Excellent poems have to be declined because they are unsuited to the wants of the maga­ zine to which they are sent. They treat subjects which are outside the peri­ odical's province. They repeat things which have already been said. They are faulty in grammer. metre or rhyme. They have defects peculiar to them­ selves and impossible to describe in de­ tail; but those mentioned are most fre­ quently met with, and are the com­ monest cau*e of declination.
