The buck-log in our great Texas fire- place had just been punched after an approved method, and the flames were leaping up as flames will on windy- nights, roaring steadily and starting shadow dances in the corners of the room. Suddenly some quick change 'subdued the flame till it merely hung in the smoke above the hearth, and at this moment a most unearthly sound, ap­ parently at our very door, startled me into an unbecoming posture, that was taken advantage of by my friend, wlio thereupon indulged in a succession of ohuckles of a kind I could never locate in him. He soon recrossed his legs, however--he could never chuckle ex­ cept with feet wide apart--saying as he did so: "You never beard a screech-owl be­ fore, I reckon. We hear them often in Indiany--often," and he added, after a moment, more intensely, and as if a little startled by some thought--" often." " Was that an owl ? Heavens! it sound­ ed more like the scream of a locomotive whistle." "I've a 'notion of Writin' home to­ night, Jim." "You have?" It startled me almost as much--quite in a different way--as the screech-owl's terrible song. The words carried me back to our place of meeting a year before. Taking a Mis­ sissippi rivet boat at Cairo, I found I must share my state-room with another --or rather he with me, since I was the later comer. He did not strike me favorably at first." I was a New iln- gland boy and suspicious of everything south of St. Louis, and this man looked not unlike the men I had been cautioned against. He could not very well help that, indeed, since I had been warned in very general terms that included every one I did not know. However, we shook hands, exchanged some remarks meant to be facetious, and in a few days I knew his name--William Jackson. "At home they call me Bill--short, like myself, you see," he said, and grinned in a bashful sort of a way that came very near to capturing me on the spot. In fact, he was not short, but, instead, the tallest man I ever saw of his length of leg and body; for what he lost elsewhere he made up in a neck that never ceased to be a wonder to me. It ran up like the watch-tower of a fire- engine house, slim and so long that, while his shoulders barely reached mine, his head overhung all others, and was two inches more than six feet above the ground. His head was large, too, and that made his general appearance more striking, while the general slimness of his body ended below in a pair of enor­ mously large feet. His face was much tanned and smooth-shaven, except the upper lip, which was covered by a coarse stubble of flerce-standing, sandy hair. But no description of him would be complete that did not touch on that feature of his countenance which was of­ ten concealed entirely and which would have made him trusted anywhere. As a fellow-traveler said, " His general looks is agin.him, but his mouth captures trie." He said his mouth, but he meant his i laugh--not that there was much noise about it, but it was so far-reaching in its j effect on his own person. First, around ; [his mouth would break two deep j wrinkles; then outside of these two j | more; and so on, on till his eyes were j [brought into the whirlpool of wrinkles | land the long-standing ones on his neck; land forehead shaped themselves to the i [general effect of one supreme expression • [of delight. It was then you believed ! him from your very heart. I did, and he j lever, as lie himself would express it, i ' threw dirt" on me. > After all, he had, BO far as I learned, | ittle to often bring forth so great a [ evelation on his face. But few of the j menitit s of life had been his at any time. ~e said little of home---"somewhere in 1 diany"--except when at one time he • ipoke bitterly of his dead father's grand uistake in life, which it appeared was > imply this, that he kept his children : boys and girls, a large family) on the j arm till he died, then they came of ne- ; issity out into the world to find tliem- lves great, grown-up babies--nothing ! ore--without any other feeling than : hat they must, as Jim said, " hitch on ! 0 some one." All the girls, but one • ho died, were too old to " hitch on." : ie boys did the best they could in that j e, aiul after a time Jim " hitched on" ] me--it was in New Orleans, after com- ; g down from Cairo--and- we soon be- i me what at the West they call" pards." j e were friends, at any rate, and, hav- j g joined forces to the amount of about j 50, were farming in Texas on poor j ds on what our landlord callei { sheers;" that is, he furnished the tools, j ules and land and we the brains and | iiman muscle, keeping our own house d dividing the spous--that is, the j 5ps--squally. ' t 1 So, knowing how little he looked to 1 * ' ' indl him, I could bat question his " notion," and add: "Who to, Jim?" a rather thought­ less question. His v oice went down almost the whole length of that wonderful neck, I thought, as he threw his face forward into his bands, and, staring into a dark corner of the fire, said ; "A woman." " A woman, Jim ? why, wha--! Oh, a sister, perhaps?" I said, seeking the only refuge that seemed at hand. 4 "No. * * * no sinter" A long pause. "It's like this," he SHM nothing more for some minutes, but ab­ sently reached over for his violin and picked the strings for an almost-forgot­ ten chord. It seemed to me that his brain and fingers were working together, although he did not know it. At last he evidently-reached what he was after, for he twanged the strings more confi­ dently and said, laying aside the violin : " It's like this : We never said noth­ ing to nobody, nor to ourselves neither, for that matter. But she knowed I thought a whole farm of her and always shall--oh, how good she's been to me !" and he fiercely clutched his knees, his features distorted and his eyes in tears. Good to him ! Well, thought I, if ever any woman loved Jim she u?a# good to him ; she couldn't have wanted him for anything else. How homely and an­ gular he looked, his long neck shot out toward the fire, which in February is needed, even in Texas, to take off .the chill. Presently he straightened np. " No, there wasn't nothing said, but she knowed me; and wnen I left she asked me to write her, and I'm going to do it. She's bin waitin' now too long," Then he stopped abruptly and began to look back over the months, while I held my breath. My God, man, it's 'ni' on two year," hie said, and, it seemed to me, he saw in a moment what his long neglect might mean; that it had been the very refine­ ment of cruelty. He at once began with an almost feverish haste to make ready his writing tools--only to hesitate, pen in hand, over the white paper I handed him, writing little at a time, and not concluding till his lamp had out- burned the back-log, and its coals smoldered sullenly on the hearth. Then, .muttering something about a screech- owl near her house, he crept into bed. n. What excuses he put forth in his let­ ter I never knew. They would not, I am quite certain, have answered for any love letter I might have sent about that time after two years' silence ; though, to be sure, "we (taking the reader into confidence for a moment) were both younger at that time, while Jackson was 30, if a day. He may have urged that he was a poor letter-writer. That was true. I have yet to see his equal in power to wreak a really appalling ven­ geance on words which, many are now agreed, have a greediness for letters only equaled by their inexcusably be­ wildering arrangement of the same. And his way of making up sentences was something wonderful. He may have urged, too, that he had worked early and late with scarce a moment of relaxa­ tion. That was true of both of us, and I had written many times. Whatever he may have said in that latter, to which he brought so many pains, I fear he did not hit on the true reason for his long silence; indeed, it is possible, even probable, that he did not know of it himself. For my part, it seemed then, as it seems now, that he had not written, simply because he had not at any time, or for any pur­ pose, found in letters so ready a means of communication that he turned to them without effort. And, more than all, he had lived by her side in daily thought since the hour in which they parted. His memory of her many graces was as fresh on the hundredth day as on the second ; and, had it been four years of silence instead of two, her face and form would have been as dis­ tinct in his mind at the end of that long time as though daily letters had passed between them. A contemplation almost constant had brought her to him to com­ fort and console him at any moment. Then, too, he had "hitched on," and, though a man grown, had conceded to me every right that was his in the man­ agement of our small business. Honest himself--almost, pitiably honest, for it came from an innocence that had been kept fresh by ignorance of more than a quarter of a century -- he placed the fullest faith in the man he had chosen to work with. So he felt much at ease, with little thought of the future, except when long droughts, under a sky like brass, made us despair of profit from farming in Texas. He rested in the love he was sure of, and did not once think that the flame he had somehow fanned into sight--miracle though it must have seemed to him, for he knew that he was homely--would need any further care to be kept alive and at a fervent glow. All this passed in my mind while riding five miles the following evening to post the precious letter, which I dreaded to let out of my hand. So much depended on it that it seemed impossible that it should go aright in the usual prosaic way, in common bags. Once away from town, however, and on the upland prairie, the matter looked differently. " Heaven be praised for that screech- owl," I said aloud. "Bill will have to ! take one for his coat of arms--adding a ! steel pen and holder, perhaps. * * * i It's a pity, though, that the owl waited • so long. It was a tardy "reminder." I mentioned the coat of arms to him when he dropped his violin for a mo­ ment as I came in, and he took it good- naturedly. So far as I could see--and Jackson concealed nothing, he was liKe a child in that--every thought of the wrong he had donehad gone away with j the letter, and he*€vxdently had no fear , of the result " I told her," he said, bounding his j bow about on the tense strings, "that.I j was dogoned sorry I had forgot my promise to write--'twasn't 'cause I didn't: think of her with ev'ry seed of cotton i and ev'ry kernel of corn we planted, and I with ev'ry step I made; I seen her face | in everything I did, and when I see a | {>retty sight she seen it, too, and there's j ots of strange things here." ! What" a sight for hot-house lovers j this, the glow that came to Jackson's | face as lie dropped his violin across his; knees and lingered iu thought on the j happy moments they had each day spent together, only in imagination ! That they were imagined scenes never oc­ curred to him, for he saw in her face | from time to time all the pleasure she would have enjoyed in noting "with him the strange features of a country strange to both. "Yes," he said, striving for a few mo­ ments to bring a refractory string into harmony with its fellows, and then drawing round, sweet notes the leagth of his bow--"Yes, I'm dogoned sorry. bnt she knows me! " m. the letter in about two weeks if she was like other women. But two, yes, three weeks and more passed by without a Srord. The fire died out on our hearth, as the hot summer came on swiftly, and was not renewed. March surrounded us and revealed wonders to the limited New England experience which barely becomes acquainted with the sun of the extreme Southern States. April came and, going out into the past, left thirty perfect days behind. Lower Texas bedecked in a suit of green, not laid on as a remnant, but with a lavishness most wasteful, smiled first and then laughed aloud," her notes °U°y bubbling from a thousand throats. Animal life, concealed before, crept out and basked on the glaring stones. The air was in a constant hum, unnoticed by some, but intense to those whose ears were attuned to it The very earth at our feet seemed to throb with life. It was just opening May when I came . from the postoffice one evening and laid down before Jackson the letter he had mailed weeks before. It came from the Dead Letter Office--that morgue of so many hopes--and in the same mail was a paper from what had been his home town, together with letters for my­ self. He was playing on his violin when I came in, but stopped at oncw. I do not think that at first he felt so deeply sorry that it had miscarried as I did, but he was perplexed all the even­ ing long, and could not understand why the letter had not reached her. He sat sefgr&l hours turning the letter over and over, noting the different post marks, but not offering to re-read what he had written, and evidently trying hard to np the situation fully. He gave a m> sigh at last, aud, without getting up from his chair, laid the letter by, though still in sight He then took the home paper and scanned its meager col­ umns carelessly, looking first, as one aways from his former home does, at the list of deaths and marriages. They were few and of no special interest to him ; j but as he glanced over another column, devoted for the most part to small town- talk, he must have seen this paragraph, for he fell forward on his face like one about to die if not already dead, crush- his violin beneath hi ing moan joining mocking hoot of the in the darkness. We regret to learn Just as we go to press to­ day that Mrs. Henry T. Ooodwell, wife of our esteemed townsman of that name, died Inst night after a brief illnesH of three days.

Several months later I talked with the writer of the above lines, in his " sanc­ tum," as he frequently called it I found him a shrewd Yankee who made his paper simply a lever to move other matters to his benefit, and the "best- fixed " man (so he phrased it) in the county. I questioned him some as to Miss Esther's marriage. 44 She'd been goin' with,the Jackson you speak of, as you say," he answered. "But I'd know's there was any thin' be­ tween them. S'posin' there was; a wom­ an can't wait forever for a man to spit it out, and he wan't much to wait for anyway. I guess he was honest ennufl, 'sfar as that goes, but 4 no great shakes,' as they say here ; he was always * hitch- in' on' to some one. Besides, Tom-- that is, Thomas Jackson--got poor and hadn't a place for her, and in short it was marry or go among strangers.

This well-known species is one of the most widely distributed of this wide- ranging family, for it occurs not only all over the northern portion of the Old World, extending to China and Japan, but it is also met with in North America, as far south as Mexico. The wild duck breeds in many parts of the United Kingdom, and where not disturbed does not betray any great fear of man. The nest is placed on the ground, often at some distance from the water, and in one instance the writer remembers having come across a duck sitting on nine eggs at least half a mile from the lake where numbers of others were breeding. It is strange that the sitting bird should expose her young brood, even if they should be safely hatched, to the risk of capture by a fox or other wild animal on their way to the water. The nest in question was placed in a small wooden dell, and was overlituig by a bush, which Mould have effectually concealed it had not the old bird l>etrayed its presence by flying off. The mallard is a much more handsome bird than the duck, and both sexes closely resemble the common duck of the farm­ yard. In summer, however, the male bird loses its rich plumage and dons a dress like the female, only resuming its beautiful colors again in August A good decoy, where many wild ducks are to l>e seen, is often a pretty sight, the birds swimming about in pairs, when the fine plumage of the male contrasts with the more sober color of his mate. At times they may be seen tail uppermost, search­ ing below the surface for their food, which consists of worms, grass-seeds, and roots, mollusca, iusectsf small reptiles, and little fish. On being approached they fly off with a sonorous quack, that of the female being the louder. During the breeding season the males consort much together, and on taking flight mount lagh in the air and circle round some distance before again settling down. The female evinces great attachment to the young, and may often be seen at­ tended by her little brood, who, on the approach of danger,1 manage to conceal themselves most adroitly, while the mother will feign lameness, or pretend to be wounded, in order to draw away the intruder from the whereabouts of her brood.--COHSCICh Natural History. y other home than the one around T There should have been fui answer to rt .•.kS'.wf1!

The following story is told of fighting Fitzgerald, a celebrated beau, gambler, horseman and duelist After his return from Ireland, an old gentleman declared his intention of trying to cure Fitzgerald of his love of dueling, and one day pro­ voked him to a contest His friends tried in vain to persuade him not to go out 44Leave me alone," he said; "I'll settle him. I have got the choice of arms. Each of us shall be mounted, each choose his own weapon, a space shall be marked out, and whoever first crosses the boundary shall be declared vanquished." Fitzgerald being informed of these strange proposals did not. like to refuse, and confident in his admirable horsemanship and skill with all weapons, accepted. He appeared on the ground superbly mounted on a fiery steed and armed with pistols. To the surprise and mirth of all, the old gentleman trotted up on a donkey, carrying a bladder with dried peas inside and a scarlet eloak in his hand. Waving the cloak and shaking his rattle, he rode into the space; off started the fiery courser, and before Fitzerald knew where he was, he had crossed the bound­ ary and lost the duel. The ridicule was too much for him, and he never "went out" again. A Defaulter's Bold Method. The method by which William diaries Brown stole $5,700 from the Rutland (Yt) Bank, of which he is teller, is a seri­ ous one. Most of its customers live at a distance from the bank, aud are infre­ quent visitors. If they wished to de­ posit $500 they would hand it to Brown, he would make out a deposit ticket for $300, put $200 in his pocket, enter $500 on the depositor's pass-book, and for a time both accounts would show correctly. When the book-keeper balanced lx>th ac­ counts, then, of course, the $200 dis­ crepancy would appear. This "error" on the pass-book would be Changed by the book-keeper, the 5 to ,a 3, then the book would balance.

When yon get home you see if it is not so." The owner would take it home, find it cor­ rect, and praise the teller as an honest young man.

When it is not a good day for benevolent people he goes into stores and shops and reads the bible at the same passages' then asks for money, which, when he gets it, he passes over to a woman who generally follows him.

He then attached the pieces to a wooden framework, which was then lowered in a shady spot to a proper depth. In a few months the sponges had grown to the size of good natural ones, exhibiting their distinctive black color. The authorities regarded his scheme with favor, but the fishers, with that ignoreut prejudice which has so often delayed sound reform in almost every industry, attacked the plantation by night destroyed the frames and made off with two thousand sponges.
