And we were friends without demur,
Shut out from all the sound and stir!
The little petty, worldly race !
Why couldn’t we have stood the test -
The little test of commonplace -
And kept the glory and the grace.
Of that sweet time when first we met,
Oh.

BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE
A STORY OF THE SEA.
At the end of a large pier in a large sea
port, to which I had gone to get a .smell of
the salt water, I found sitting on the string-
piece a man whose dress and genera] ap
pearance bespoke him an old tar. Inter
ested in that class of men, having formerly
been myself a sailor, and I fell into conver
sation with him; when he related an ad
venture which I will give as nearly as I
can in his own quaint style and language.
"1 was in an Kngli.sli transport, afore tin-
mast. I've followed the sea nigh on to
sixty years, man and hoy, hut, I never got
higher nor that, for the reason 1 had no
education. We’d a lot o' sodgers aboard,
inki11' ’em to the West Ingees. An' a
sicker lot 1 never see. There’s no braver
men than British sodgers. They’ve showed
that all the world over. But the idee of
Yellow Jack and the land crabs give tiie.se
chaps the horrors.
‘‘Tnere was women an' children among
’em. One o’the women was a beauty. If
she was 25, she was no more; as trim a
c ift as ev-. r floated, staunch, to >, and true
to her colors.
“She had a little one, a four-year-old-kid,
the picture of her mammy. I've always
loved little children. May be on account
of never having any of my own. 1 never
married. A man that's always knockin’
'round the world, here to-day and gone U>-
morrow's got no right to marry. But I'm
runnin’ off my course.
“Mrs. Dean—which was the beauty's
name, sir—she and I got very friendly all
alone o’ my takin to her little Molly. I’ve
observed the shortest way to a woman’s
favor is through her children. Her hubby
wa’n’t a jealous man. Jealousy, they say,
goes with strong love. Not that he did not
love her. That wa’n’t much for him to
b.iast on, hous’ever. Nobody could help
doing that. But he was one o’ them chaps
more for the men and spent pretty nigh
all his time playin’ cards with his com
rades. So it came that his wife and 1 had
many long chats. When she found I’d
been'in the West Ingees she got me to talk
about the islands. She’d look so sorrowful
and lovin’ at her little Mullie when she'd
ask me about the yellow fever an’ if it was
true the land oralis eat the dead sogers,
you may ho sure I didnt stretch it to
frighten her. I could tell the truth and
say the country was well nigh on to a par
adise, ’specially the wind’ard islands.
“We was in the uor’east trade well -
along. The vessel, with her staboard
tacks aboard, had her stern sails on tow
an’ aloft. The breeze was stifftlin’. She ;
had it two points on her staboard quarter, j
an’ was boltin’ off her eleven knots. The
hooker could sail ’afore the wind. It was
Sunday, so none o’the men was at work.
Four hells in the arternoon watch had
been struck. Well nigh all hands was in '
the forecastle; what was on the deck was
sittin to leeward. Some o’ the sogers was
there too, chattin'with ’em. The others'
was below on the berth deck, which was ■
kept cool with a win’ sail. Two or three
of the sogers’ officers was on the poop, 1
stretcheaon settees. One had a spyglass ;
lookin’ to wind'ard. Tne chief mate had j
the watch; but he was sittin’ galin' with
the officers, lettin’ the ship take care of
herself. Nobody was oil the lookout but !
me. The weather's that steady in the
“trades’’ a vessel don’t need to start tack
or sheet for days, unless to get home when
it stretches. Nobody was on the weather
side of the deck but Mis. Dean. She was
stundin’ aloft the fore rigging' boldin’ on
the rail with her legs over the side. It
was a dangerous place fora little uu like
her. But she was a venturous child, and
that willful that her mammy had to let
her have her own way. It seems nobody
noticed 'em but me. I was settin' for’ard
on the cathead, keeping an eye out for
’em.
"A school o’ Ilyin’ ttsh started up to
wind'ard. Them schools sometimes cover
a mile o’the sea. This was a big un. Mrs
Dean, watcliin’ the fish as they rose and
dropped hack in the water when their
wings begun to git dry, forgot herself: an’
the child playin' susaw with the ship as
she rolled, got loos of her mammy an’ fell
overboard.
T see her go, an’ heard a scream—never
any like it afore or since. Sailors laru to
rig and strip in a hurry. ’Sides my shoes
and hat I’d nothin’ on but a pair o’their
duck trousers an' a loose frock.
"i fit’ went shoes, hat and fris k quick as
winking, and over I went after Molly.
•The ship was low in the water, an't la-
wind get tin’ under the child's pettieoats,
she came down easy, so she was afloat
when 1 reached her. She was that fright
ened she couldn’t bawl. I took her on my
arm, with her head over my shoulder, anil 1
with the other arm and my legs kept both
our heads 'hove water. Tliere was a smart
bit of sea on, but it was runnin’ reg’lar.
"1 looked to see the ship brought,to. But
she went tearin' ahead without a face look
ing over the side. I waited and waited. If
my hair had grown gray the while Twould
not have wondered, it 'peared so long. >ly
God!’ I cried, 'somethin’s happened the
mammy so she can't speak to tell ’em. an’
they mayn’t miss us till we sink. Oh, the i
fool I was .not to pass the word afore 1
Went over! The idee made my heart so
heavy it nearly broke me down.
“One o’ my shipmates told me arter'ards
how it was. That scream, as I was sure it
would, prought all hands around her. But
she'd fainted dead away; ail’ the soger
doctor had quite a spell at it afore he
brought her to; and then she’d only breath
to cry 'My child.' mv child!’ afore she went
off again. 'Her child—where is it? Where’s
Jack's head?' the captain asked, lookin'
around. He know’ll I’d be there if I was
in the ship, and not seein’ me he cried.
'They're both overboard. Down with the
helm! Jump in the braces men. port hud
starboard, and lower stun sail. Never
mind the others, if the booms snap let ’em i
go: round with the yards, lively. Clear i
away the larboard quarter boat, some o’
you.' There was a rush for the poop. ‘Out
knives, boys, an’ cut the gripes loose,'
cried the chief mate, arslashin' at the can- i
vas that havered the boat that keep the
suu from splittin her. ‘Jump in six o’ you,’ 1
ne said, as soon as she swung clear, g’ettin'
m.bnnselfr follow,d by the*Budj^r officer
v* -th th, spy glass. -Davy tacklesalK-lcar?' 1
th* unitv ask-*!. ‘All ck-nr, sir.' ‘Lower
a way thou, roundly.’ an' down she went
into tlie water. It would have made any
man s head swim. Jack, Vept a sailor’s, it 1
was ail done so quick, sutd my amputate
when lie told me.
•I set the ship brought to all stundin ,
hut I couldn't sec the boat, she was too
low in the water an* the ship a mile away.
I knowed she war a cornin’ though, and if
over I strained my eyesight it was watchiu’
for her. All this time the child was a-wor-
ryin' and arrowin' heavier. Sin.’ was a
lump <>f a tiling. My arm around her be
gun to stiffen. The* other seemed to be
tangling into knots. A cold sweat came
nut on my forehead. I grew sick an’ faint.
J was just going down when the boat
hove in view.
“The sodger officer was standin’ in the
starn-sheets. steadyin* himself with his
knees against the mate, keepin’ me in the
field o' the glass. The sight gave me fresh
strength; and 1 raised the child above my
head with both hands. The officer told
the men. an’ they cheered to give me
courage. 1 heard ’em, an’ I knowed they’d
strain the ash. But oh, how slow the boat
’neared to. move! The officer could seel
i was nearly done for; and he had another
reason for urgin' the men to do their best.
Tne fly in ’ fish was coinin’ down afore the
wind with a fleet o' dolphins and barra
cootas in the chase, an’ a swarm o’ sharks
followin' on. Though the mate knowed
by the wav they was runnin’ they’d pass
me finite a piece away, sailors believe a
shara can *ee a man a mile off. An’ sure
enough, one o’ them left the chase an’
started for me. The officer see its back flu
rise out o' the water in range 'tween me
and the others. When I heard him and
the mate keep on a-shoutin’ as loud as
they could hollow 1 knowed what was
coinin', and my heart began to thump
again’ my ribs as if to breakaway through
then rose in my throat an' choked me.
A thousand bees ’peared to be buzzin in
my ears. I grew sick again, and began to
sink. I thought of the child and made a
desperate struggle. Thai is the last J re
member. What happened arter’ards was
told me.
“Tliere was a race atween the boat and
the shark. That the boat reached me first
is wlmt 1 needn't say. The shark was only
twenty fathoms away when they pulled
the child and me out o’ the water. The
childs flesh was warm, and they could
feel its heart beat. As for me. I was cold
as a corpse, and my heart was still.
“When they got me on board the ship
toe doctor overhauled me and said I was
dead a.s a herrin. But he Look me in hand.
He said it was to try a new scheme he’d
heard on for bringing the dead to life.
Whatever it was, I was told he had a hard
job of it, but he was that perseverin’ he
stu b to it: and here I am you see.’’
“And the child?” I asked.
“They had little trouble to bring her to.
S’.e'- a grown woman, married now, and
has a little shaver she calls Jack Head.
Hr hubby’s a well-to-do merchant, and
she has a snug harbor, where I’m at an
chor. waitin’ to be taken into dock.”
I congratulated him on the happy ter
mination of the adventure, and when I
had thanked him for telling it we ex
changed good wishes and parted.
A Girl 77 V« ur« Old.
A case which is receiving much attention from
the medical profession was reported yesterday to
Coroner Mesaemer, In the death itself of M s
Caroline Terboss there was nothing remarkable.
She died of nephritis, and the coroner would n< t
have been called upon to take .ognizan :e of the
matter had u physician been present with n
twenty-fours of the death. The peculiar circum
stances of the case are wholly physical. Miss
Terboas was 77 years of age. but soon after her
eleventh birthday all development ceased, and to
the hour of her death she remained, in form,
stature and orgauixaiton a child. Caves
of this kind have b#en recorded, though they are
very few. None, however, have attained the age
of Miss Torboos. death usually occurring before
21. Twenty-five years of age is the extreme limit.
Miss Ter boas was only four feet four inches in
hight. She was remarkably quick, intellectually,
and enjpyed good health. The case will be re
ported on in full in the medical journals.

OLD ENGLAND OUTDONE.
Hodijy, Ten\n\, Nov. 1), 18*1.
I have had a bad ulcer, or running sore, for 20
years, which no doctor has ever been able to
heal. I was afflicted before leaving England, and
the doctors over there could not cure me. F < r
some time I have been using B. B. B., and the
effects astonish every one, and I enclose ueveral
pieces of bone which it lias worked out. My
health is rapidly improving, ulcers nearly all
healed, and 1 am far better than I have been in
20 years. I will send you a certificate soon.
