"I wouldn't suppose such a thing," feturned the old man. "Any one that it swim has not only neglected his ncation woefully, but hits missed a deal of pleasure in life. Of if you can't swim you could Idle around in the shallows and keep 1; though taafc is a great deal like ving fun riding or driving with only toy horse for a steed. If you can't you should learn." It's easy enough to say learn; but If #ou can't learn what are you to do ?" Said the timid member. "Oh, well, if you've made up your d that you can't learn that settles I know that you or any one else Han learn to swim if you make up your »iind in the proper way. Of course, ton can never learn if you go into the rater, and as soon as you find yourself Jip to your neck or eyes jump out and lay you can't swim. Half the battle jor a novice in swimming is confidence, timidity is the very first thing to con­ quer. Go into the water with your ittind made up to swim, a determination o learn, and an idea that you can do it f other people can. After you have •nee established confidence with your­ self the rest is easy enough. I don't pnean to say it is easy enough to make : # great swimmer out of yourself, but it 'fe easy enough to attain sufficient skill jfor all purposes of pleasure or to take fare of yourself in case of accident. A fery slight motion of the hands or feet ill keep one on the surface of the rater. There are some very elaborate lea for beginners, but my advice to lose who want to learn to swim is to throw the rules into the water without eading them, and then jump in and fee if you can't swim put with them, j "The best way to leavn is to go in %ith some friend who can swim, and he %ill tell you enough to enable you to keep yourself afloat, and after that is accomplished you will soon find that it ifs easy enough to acquire proficiency in different styles. The next time you go J$o a swimming place just jump into a weep part Don't be frightened. Be­ rlin to kick slowly with your feet and without raising your hands above the surface of the water, paddle with them Vith an over and over motion and you %ill find that you are swimming. Not |n a very graceful manner, probably, '•(but that motion will keep you afloat And you can make considerable head- , %ay with it. That style is what we use to call swimming dog fashion in my founger days, and many of the boys all S>ver the country will remember the le when that was the only way they «ould swim. It's fun, though, and after tou get more confidence from moving long in that style you will acquire ©th«>r and more graceful styles accord­ ing to your natural aptitude. C "Did I learn that style first9 Bet -your life I did. When I was a little tad, not above 8 or 9 nine years old, jny brother tumbled me off the dock Into the East River, and that dog fashion came to me as naturally as v|ould be, and it was not very long after Jghat until the old folks had about all ' .they oould do to keep me out of the ifiver. Now, you are going on a fishing Ixcursion shortly, and you just try it. \fter you get so that you can move Along I will tell you how to acquire 'fither and more fashionable strokes; but bear this firmly in your mind-- that if you get frightened you can't flo it You must have confidence; thfen frou cannot fail." A King Whose Family Feared Him. The King continued fusing the Prince till the evening, when he said he %culd not have any supper and went Up to his smoking party. As soon as Hre reached the Queen's room she told e to sit down and write and tell my irother all that had taken place, inclos- g him a rough draft of a letter ta the ing, in which he begged him for for- veness. I was writing quietly, and nearly finished my letter, when I eard the King coming--for he had Such a heavy step that it always ?ounded as if he wore thick boots. The right I was in oould not be described, but I never lost my head, and hid my fetter behind a Chinese cabinet. My governess put my pens, etc., in safety. |\.8 the King was already in the room, I flipped the ink-bottle into my pocket find there I held it in my hand. This %as all done in a second. The King epoke a few words to the Queen and then moved towards the Chinese cabi bet. "It is a pretty thing," he said, "I .frill give it to you," at the same time trying the look. I saw the moment ©oniing when my letter would drop to - the ground and be discovered. The Queen, half dead with terror, Jlirected the King's attention to her lit- Jtle dog and mine, which were at the * other end of the room. "Look," she |aid, "my daughter will have it that her dog is much prettier than mine; now iron must be the judge and decide be­ tween us." He laughed and asked me |f 1 was very fond of my dog. "Yes, I ftm," I answered, "because he has so fnuch sense, and deserves so much at toy hands." My answer so pleased the King that he took me in his arms and kisseil me. And I--oh! miserable fate --I was obliged to let go the ink bottle, Which was spilled all over me and the floor. I never stirred or moved. Hap­ pily the King soon left the .room and lvut an end to the position we were in. |The ink had wetted me to the skin, so that I had to be dried. When once the flanger was over we were able to laugh heartily at the whole occurrence. -- Memoirs of the Margravine of Bai j^reuth. Queer Critiques. ; The late Professor P. D. Maurice Bays in one of his works that when 8cott has told us wLa1; our ancestors irore Shakespeare will tell tw what they were. The remark has an air of smartness and point, but as a criticism ft is worthless. Scott's accessories are idways, picturesque and in harmony fvith the general design, but the story Is the thing, and the characters, in­ stead of being mere clothes pegs, are in |nost cases :is real and consistent hu­ man beings as any of Shakespeare's Own creations. Byron went to the f>ther extreme when he crowned Scott fcs the Monarch of Parnassus, and placed him at the apex of that pyramid Of poets which seems to us of the pres­ ent day so strangely constructed. Next to Scott Byron placed lingers, then "lloore and Campbell, bracketed, so to •peak; and at the base came "Southey ftnd Wordsworth and Coleridge, the test did not matter!" Byron had no Sympathy with the poets of the "Lake Behnol " Wordsworth, Coleridge, end Southey are still attacked in more than te passage in "Don Juan." Mora astonishing are Byron's re­ marks on the father of English poetry. "Chaucer," he says, "notwithstanding the praises bestowed on him, I think obscene and contemptible; he owes his celebrity merely to his antiquity, which he does not deserve so well aa Pierce Plowman or Thomas of Ercil- doune." This perverse criticism was in some d&frrv* flpiieippfed by .Addison, who showed liis lack of the critical fac­ ulty, not only by sneering at Spenser's "Faery Queen" before he had read it, but by finding fault with Chaucer for want of humor. This is as grotesque a charge as, in another way, was that brought by Mrs. Barbauld against the "Ancient Mariner," which, she said, was "improbable and had no moral." Coleridge thought it had too much moraL--Temple Bar. They Went They came hurrying and skurrying toward it with all the fuss and flutter fashionable shoppers make.

"AH right,--ah, anything I can show you in ribbons to-day, ladies?" "Yes; I'd like--O Mame, see this new shade in green." "How lovely! I do think that--O Sadie, how do you like this odd shade in blue?" "It's just sweet pretty." "Think so?" "Yes, indeed. What are you going to.use the ribbon for?" "A bow for Bismarck's collar. The dear little fellow has almost every shade and color imaginable now, but I thought I'd see if there was anything new." "Aren't the ribbons perfectly lovely this year?" "Oh! exquisite! I rave over them I" "What is your favorite shade ?" "Wel^ really, I just don't know. They are all so lovely." "That's true. I've have a mind to take this seashell pink--Oh, have you noticed how they're combining pink and pale-green this year." "Yes, but salmon and Nile-green is prettier. Let us oombine them and see. Show us some salmon sad Nile* green Bhades, please." "Oh, how lovely!" "Exquisite!" "Just beautiful!" "O Mame, how would this look on that pink plush bonnet of mine?" "Lovely!"

Bissell, Superintendent of the Harlem Bailroad. He rose from the rear rank, as it were, having begun in the most menial station. It was thought when he became a full-fledged passenger conductor that the highest peak of ambition had been scaled, but there was no keeping him in a subordinate place. One night Commodore Vanderbilt,who owned the road, came down from Saratoga, and Conductor Bissell had him in charge from Albany to New York. The dis­ tance is 150 miles. Bissell kept a sharp eye on his duty and the despotic Com­ modore sat silent. Not a word did he address to that trainmaster during their journey. Just a3 the special train hauled into New York the old man asked: "How long have you been on this road ?" "About twelve years," was the reply. "Come to my office to-morrow morn­ ing at o'clock." Bissell didn't know what he had done to offend his employer, but being a plucky man he whistled away his ap­ prehensions and at the appointed hour appeared in the dread presence. "Ha! humph!" grunted the Commo­ dore, you're here, hey? Come out to the yard." Bissell followed the ogre, quite un­ able to guess what was in the wind. "How much does that rail weigh?" abruptly inquired the Commodore. Bissell (who was one of the best in­ formed employes in the service) made satisfactory answer to that and other questions relating to the minutiae of railway construction. Stili without the slightest relaxation of his stern features the old """» blurted out: "How would you like to be Superin­ tendent of the Harlem Bailroad?" "First-rate," said BisselL "Well, by--! you are Superintend­ ent, " was the Commodore's vigorous and characteristic termination of the inter­ view.--Detroit Free Press. The Unman Stomach. L The position of the stomach is more nearly vertical than horizontal. 2. An empty stomach, if not in good tone, is always tubular. 3. A tuhlar bt)mach should be the rule on rising. 4. Non-irritating liquids pass di­ rectly through the tubular stomach. 5. They do likewise if the Btomach contains food, and in such eases pass along the less curvature. 6. The morning mucus contained in the stomach hinders or retards diges­ tion. 7. Water drank before meals dilutes and washes out this mucous, stimulates the gastroenteric tract to peristalls, and causes livperamia of its lining mem­ brane, thus greatly aiding digestion as well as eliminatioa. 8. Cold water should be given those who have the power to react, while warm or hot water must be administered to all others. 9. Salt added to the water is very beneficial in preventing the formation of unabsorbable parapeptone. 10. It is perfectly proper to drink water before, during, and after meals. --Medical News.

MUMBCBCB OF PUBLIC WMS. THE OLD-FA§ BIOS ED QABDEH. BY BU: fEBUtl FOOI& Tom Cor win once illustrated in a speech the different positions on slavery question taken by the Democ­ racy in Ohio and in New York, by nar­ rating Uncle John Shelby's adventures in "running down" a deer. The ground, he said, was oovered with six inches of snow, on which the rain had fallen and been frossen, forming R crust suffi­ ciently utioug to bear his weight. In the morning he discovered the tracks of a deer, and started after it with the determination of running it down. Af­ ter describing the course taken, and de­ tailing different incidents that occurred during the chase, he said that about noon ne felt somewhat weary and hun­ gry, and, standing his gun against a fence, he jumped into a cornfield and pulled some roasting ears, on wliioh he proposed to make a meal "What, Uncle John, snow on the ground and roasting ears? That wont do," said one of the company. "Hold on, boys," said Uncle John; "I've made a little mistake, and got two stories mixed!" Mr. Corwin thought that the Dem­ ocracy had gotten their positions on slavery slightly mixed--that there was snow in New York and roasting ears in Ohio. Judge Douglas said one day that the first and last duel ever fought in Illi­ nois was in 18*20, at Belleville, between Alphonso Stewart and William Ben­ nett. The seconds had made it np to be a Bham duel. Stewart, one of the parties, was supposed to be in the se­ cret, but Bennett, his adversary, be­ lieved it to be a reality. It was sup­ posed that Bennett somewhat expected a trick, and after receiving his gun from his second, rolled a ball into it. At the word fire Stewart fell mortally wounded; Bennett was indicted, tried, and convicted of murder. A great ef­ fort was made to procure him a par­ don, but Gov. Bond would yield to no entreaties, and Bennett suffered the ex­ treme penalty of the law by hanging, in the presence of a great multitude of people. Judge Douglas gave great credit to the prosecuting attorney in this case as having prevented duelling in Illinois by making it a crime. Thurlow Weed told a good story in the cloak-room of the Senate one day, about his crony, Dean Ilichmond, of Albany. Mr. Richmond had a son whose habits were not consonant with the railroad king's idea of prudence. He was sharp, pkrewd, and witty, but was emphatically "one of the boys." The paternal purse was long, and his patience stretched out to equal dimen­ sions, but finally the young Richmond wore out the patience, and was told that he must go to work and earn his own living. The old gentleman placed him on one of his railroad trains, and when the youngster had learned tlie du­ ties of a conductor, promoted him to that station. One rule of the road was that no one should be dead-headed. Each passenger was compelled to pro­ duce a ticket, pay his fare, or show a Eass signed by the president. Dean Richmond. A few days after young Richmond took charge of a train his father was among the passengers. In due course of time the conductor reached the seat ocoupied by the old gentleman, and, tapping him on the shoulder, ejaculated: "Ticket, sir?" Dean made no reply, other than by a good-natured smile. "Ticket," said the conductor, emphatically. "I have no ticket, you young rascal," said the old gentleman, warming up as he no­ ticed the passengers giving attention to the scene, "and don't need any." "Have you a pass, then ?" quoth the conductor. "No!" roared the now wrathy parent; "clear out, or 111 dis­ charge you." "If you've neither ticket nor pass," responded the son, "you must pay your fare." Again the rail­ road president threatened to discharge the conductor unless he moved on. "Will you pay?" said young Richmond, reaching for the bell rope. "Pay your. fare, or I'll put you off." Remonstrance was vain, and the president was com­ pelled to pay fare on his own road. When his wrath had time to cool he was pleased at the young conductor's strict obedience to orders, and con­ cluded to give him a better chance than punching tickets. Henry Clay, at the urgent request of Kossuth, granted him an interview at his room at the National Hotel on the afternoon of January 9, 1852. Mr Clay had dressed himself, and, perhaps for the last time stood erect to meet the Magyar. He received the visitor with all his characteristic courtesy and cor­ diality, but said: "Gov. Kossuth, a dying man stands before yon to protest against yous doctrine of intervention." Kossuth replied in terms that affected Mr. Clay to tears, and both giving way to unrestrained emotion, they parted-- to meet not again. The impertinent coolness with which correspondents and stock speculators' agents seek information is illustrated by a story which Justice Harlan tells of a man who came to his house one night, an entire. stranger, sent in his card, and when the judge came down bluntly told him that he proposed to make a fortune for himself and the judge if the latter furnished him in­ formation about a certain decision that was pending and was expected to affect stocks. He would fnrnish the capital and do the trading, dividing the profits equally. The justice was so com­ pletely taken aback by the man's cool impudence that he scarcely knew what to Bay, but the humor of the situation struck him at once, and he asked the caller if he would please stand up un­ der the chandlier, where he could get a good look at his face. The stranger stood the scrutiny without flinching. Then said the judge, "My friend, you have asked something that is not only improper and impossible, but your proposition onght to tempt me to kick you out of my house. I scarcely know why I do not feel in the mood to do it. I do not think you are aware of the significance of your proposition, and therefore I shall not treat you as I otherwise would. I am not going to enter into a speculation with you, as that wonld bj wrong, but I will tell you how you can get the information you seek before any one else." The man's face brightened up, when the justice continued: "On the day when the opinion is delivered--cannot tell yoli when that will be--come to the Supreme Court room and take a seat on the very first bench, then, as it is read, the sound will reach your earB first. Good evening. But wait a mo­ ment, sir; you should thank me for not kicking you downstairs." ir It* Revival--A Ptetare ftxna 3I*>ntorjr*« Wtlli. [From tho Boston Transcript.! Why, in these days of the revival of the a ti.j e, when the cottage puts on a garb of sawed shingle, and, bediz­ ened in red paint, hi called Queen Anne, and the daughter of fashion goes to the fancy drees ball, the kirmees, and what not, in the costume of 100 years ago, does riot, some one ieally re­ vive the old-fashioned garden in genu­ ine form throughout, outside of poetry and stories? The old-fashioned gar­ den contained hollyhocks, which stood upright, lifting oupa of beauty to in­ vite the wandering bee; tiger lilies, red with black spots upon them, after the manner of the leopard rather than the tiger whose taste runs to stripes, and from whose taste, likewise, people who don't want to be eaten run. The tiger lily, so Tennyson says, "heavily hangs;" and, perhaps it does in En­ gland, especially in the fall, when Ten­ nyson describes it as so despondent, and when the smell of the mold comes up so strong under the gray lowering sky, and nature speaks of the passing of the year. But if the tiger lily "heavily hangs," we have not so noticed it in this country; it seems all the more a scarlet spark against the gloom of dark foliage, and the even darker gloom that seems to rise from the ground and hang around the feet of the plants, like the creeping np of death. The hollyhocks have no such assertion; they are timid, for their size, and rather be­ seeching in their aspect. The old-fash­ ioned garden must include the sun­ flower and the pink phlox. By no means leave out the southern-wood, or "boys' love," whose bruised leaves give forth a pungent odor which our grandmothers deemed a sovereign remedy for headache. The uproarions- lv funny snapdragon wonld have to be there, of course, and the marigold. And who does not remember the Can­ terbury bells, whose bells of purple or white seemed of wax, so smooth and firm of texture were they? Then the monk's hood, so called, of rich blue, almost purple, int.* which the bees used to intrude themselves until they were almost out of sight, while to the astonished child who had noted the "busy's M approach the blossom seemed to bounce about and growl as if be­ witched. Lilacs we have still with us; fashion, which occasionally deviates into good sense, has set its approval upon the white lilac, and has taken the better-known purple into its good graces. Lilacs, which were considered {eminently dcorvard shrubs, used to be planted so clo.se to the windows that one wondered why the tenants of old .colonial times should have felt the need of shutters or curtains in the summer. Roses wore common, and are common to-day; but the York-and-Lancaster either has d'sappeared altogether, or else has retreated into the most distant of rural districts. Occasionally one sees a York-and-Lancuster in the ex hibitions at Horticultural Hall, but in gardens no longer are to be encoun­ tered the blossoms of mingled white and red, emblematical of the two houses. To have the garden and house in harmony, the latter should be old, with wainscot and all the rest of it. Thes Listener begs leave to sav that if he has misnamed any of the old flowers the controversy about them ends here. • Ills fully olaitnsd oi] Imi hard workers ma asi aa much and save tbe i ftwa fllasss sad PlMt, now creating «o »aah diseassl doalera say Its aal* is tbo Itiml «vc It a nervous woman set* hold of a 1 S Close After Him.

They also kick because we have no elevated train-* that will take them down to the depot, whereas I am not able and cannot get enough ahead or forehanded sufficiently to do so, as heaven is my judge. They bring with them a small son, who is a pale, emaciated little cuss, with a quiet way of catching my 3- year-old heifer by the tail and soaring the life out of her that is far beyond his years. His mother thinks he will not live, mayhap, to {grow up, and I hope she may not be disappointed. Still he has a good appetite, and one day laat summer, besides his meals, he ate.

I laid off all that day from haying in order to follow the little rascal »round with a lead pencil and a piece of paper and see how much he would eat. That evening I thought what a beautiful night he selected for his death. The mton was slipping in and out through the frothy, fleece-lined clouds, and I could imagine the angels just behind the battlements putting the celestial bric-a-brac high enough up so that Henry couldn't get hold of & when he came. I had a slow horse concealed behind the barn, with which I intended going for the doctor. It was a horse with which I had failed to get the doc­ tor in time on a similar occasion, and I felt that he could be relied on now.
