Delay still yet. a while;
Force not, on us thy smile,

JACK’S REFORMATION.
Jack was full of clams and beer. The
beer was nothing new in Jack’s experi
ence, but the clams were something of a
novelty to him. He had been spending
the day at Gleij Island, and had par
taken so freely of both the solid and the
liquid that, he was puzzled an to which
to attribute his unisteady gait. It was
I o'clock in the morning. He had just
left the elevated railroad and was zig
zagging hotneward with his white, hat
on the back of his head and his hands in
his pockets, singing softly to himself:
The man in the moon is looking, love:
He’s winking, love; he’s blinking, love;
And each little star will tell
Here Jack ran against a tree and lost
the thread of his song. After recover
ing his hat, which had roiled in the gut
ter, Jack resumed his journey, and
turning up a quiet side street climbed
up a front stoop and sat down upon the
topmost step. The moon was shining
brightly and paling the street lamps.
The horizon was lit up with a glow like
that of a prairie tire, and the chimneys
across the way stood out black and dis
tinct against the glowing background.
From far down the street he could
hear a party of sere nailers singing an
old song which sounded familiar to him.
Jack was beginning to get sobered. He
put his hollowed hand behind his ear
and listened. Yes, although he could
not hear the words, the serenaders were
so far away, ho could supply them him
self:
There’s a heart boating for somebody,
Lighting the home he loves best,
Warming the bosom of somebody—
Warming the bosom of somebody, oh!
and the 1 ‘oh” came wafted down the
street in a tuneful little cadence which
died away like a sob in the distance.
The song brought to Jack’s remem
brance an old-fashioned farmhouse on a
Vermont hillside. There were horse
hair chairs in the room and a picture of
Washington and his family on the wall.
In the corner stood a little melodeon
with a squeaky bellows, the complaining
of which he could hear even now
through all the intervening years. Be
fore the melodeon sat a young girl
whose blue scarf matched the color of
her eyes and who was playing the very
tune he had just heard. The “ohl at
the end of the song came softly to him
out of the past and it seemed to Jack
to have something of regret in it. Jack
took oil his hat and ran his hands
through his hair He lapsed into remi
niscence again, ami rem 'inhered how he
had married the blue-eyed girl and
brought her to the big roaring city; how
the babies had come one after another
until they hail three; now his little
woman’s eyes had lost some of their lus
tre from weeping, and how he stayed
out late o’ nights drinking beer when he
should have been home looking alter
the welfare of his wife and babies.
By this time Juk was thor-
ougly sobered and repentant. He
felt in his pock* t for his latchkey, but
the key wasn’t th' re. He didn’t care to
ring the bell, because he was afraid of
his wife’s anger. The window had been
left up because the night was warm, but
he thrust his hands between the blind
slats and tried to undo the fastening. A
low growl made him withdraw his hand
quickly. Then it. occurred to him that
it was only his setter dog, and he
whistled softly to the dog and the ani
mal whined a recognition. After strug
gling with the fastening until he suc
ceeded in unfastening the window he
lodged on the window sill when he tried
to climb in, and, loaded as he was,
teetered back and forth, at. the immi
nent risk of tumbling into the stone
basement below. At last he rolled into
the room with a thump which shook the
whole house. He had just gathered up
his bruised body and placed it upon the
sofa when the door opened and his wife
made her appearance.
“So you've, returned, have youj’ said
she .sarcastically, while her eyes blazed
like ardent coals. “The baby is sick
with the croup up stairs, but of course
you don’t case anything about; that. We
might all be taken down with the chol
era and you wouldn’t know anything
about it. I suppose you’ve had a very
pleasant time to-day with your friends,
and are as drunk as usual. This thing
has gone on as long as it is possible io
last. Get down, Rover. 1 could curse
you, sir. Even the dog is a better pro
tector than you are. I hate you. That’s
what. I think you.” and she struck him
a blow in the. face with the flat of her
hand which made his head ring. “Oh,
you deceitful wretch, if I had a pistol I
would shoot you,” she continued.
Jack gritted his teeth together and
clenched his hands. Ho half arose from
the sofa, and then his good sense pre
vailed and he resumed hie scat. The
door closed with a bang behind his wife,
and he was left alone in the room with
the dog.
“Old fellow*” said Jack, taking the
dog’s silky ears in his handsand looking
down into the dog's brown eyes, “old
fellow, things is getting mighty warm
around here, aren’t they?”
The dog thumped his tail and emitted
a short bark.
“Anil somebody's to blame, eh, old i
fellow?”
The dog put his forepaws on Jack’s
knees and whined.
“The little woman exaggerates my
weaknesses, but in the main she’s about
right. What d’ye think?"
That unfailing barometer of a dog’s
emotion, his tail, played a tattoo on the
floor and he executed a dance on the
parlor carpet inviting a frolic.
“No, Rover, there’s no funny business
about this. This affair is serious.
There’s got to be a reformation. You 1
remember old man Luther had a refer ;
mation, don’t you? Yes, I suppose you ■
do. Well, here’s what’s going to re- ■
form; going to give up beer and clams i
and stayin' out nights. Back, old' fel- I
low, lie down in the corner," said
as he opened the door on a crack and
listened. A faint sound as of fobbing '
came down the stairs. Jack clo-cd the
door and resumed his seat.
“It’s raining up stairs. I’m afraid
the little woman will get wet. Now,
I’m going to take off-my shoes and see :
if the roof leaks. You lie right down
here in the corner md keep still till 1
come down," said Jack, speaking to th*'
dog, who slunk off into the corner in a
shamefaced way.
Then Jack stole softly up stairs and t
peeped into the room, where sat his wife
with her face hidden in the !><• (clothes.
She was sobbing vt -rni.iy and Jax s
heart wio touche 1. Jack walked up to
iirr and placed his hand upon her
shoulder.
“Little woman,” said he.
Ixaider sob* but no answer.
“Little woman,” he resumed, trying’
to swallow Lis throat, “I’ve l»eeu a big
brute to you and the children, but if
you'll try to overlook what I’ve done in
the past I’ try and do better in the fu
ture.”
'•Oh, Jack. I drink you!" came from
the bed-clothes in smothered accents.
“Never mind th it, iitlle woman. It
. didn't hurt me."
Jack sat ‘io* i up l ”* lU- side of the
«
bed and drew his wife upo# bis knee.
3he hid her face upon shoulder, just
as she had often done in the olden times
in the house upon the Vermont hillside.
“Do you think vou can give me an
other chance?" said Jack.
“It was all my fault, Jack, and I’m
very sorry.”
“Well, we’ll call it square then and
start in again. What d’ye say?"
“OK J:ft kI" was the ouly reply, and
then there followed a sound which had
something of sweetness and requital in
it, and borne on the w ind from half a
mile away came the refrain:
Warming Uw bosom of somebody, oht
I Queer Steam Engine.
A prominent yachtsman of New York
has just signed a contract by which he
agrees to furnish the money for building
a very novel sort of a steam engine. The
inventor proposes to do no less than to
construct, an engine which will exhaust
back into the boiler instead of into a
condenser or into the open air. He pro
poses, in other words, that when the
steam has pushed the piston through
the full length of its stroke the piston
shall then push the steam back into the
boiler again. Tins sounds like the
absurd proposition to build a perpetual
motion machine, but. as the machine is
explained by the inventor and the
yachtsman it seems to be easily possible,
and perhaps practical. Because the
practicability of the scheme has yet to
be tested the yachtsman decline# to al
low his name to be used.
The new machine consists of four sin
gle cylinders, placed two on eaci) side of
the shaft to be turned by them. The
! | two cylinders on each side, according to
the present drawings, will be placed
horizontally and one above the other,
like the barrels of a double-barrelled
shot-gun when the grin is lying on its
side. The pistons in these cylinders are
connected with the shaft in such away
I that the piston iu the upper cylinder on
; one side works in conjunction with the
i piston in tin? lower cylinder on the op
I posite side. Steam being admitted to
i either pair of cylinders, which thus act
i together, the pistons are forced out to
; the end of their stroke as in any single
I acting engine, and the shaft revolves
half a turn. At the instant these piston
; reach the end of the stroke they are, oy
means of cogs, two cams, and a link
motion, uncoupled from the shaft and
I connected with each other substantially.
They then become, to all intents and
; purposes, one piston, with the steam
from the toiler pressing equally on each
' side, and, therefore, balanced. The mo
ment this happens the pistons of the.
other t.w > cylinders are coupled to the
i shaft, and the steam -ends them flying
; to the end of their stroke, thus keeping
the shaft awhirling, and at the same
I time shoving the other t«o pistons, now
i equally balanced, to the head , of their
cylinders. The second pair of pistons
►s having completed their stroke, they are
uncoupled, and in turn treated as the
first pair were.
The theory, the yachtsman says, is all I
right. But the intervention of cogs, I
link motion, and two cams may make
the machine .somewhat cumbersome, and,
perhaps, slow motioned. That it will
be: noisy is beyond dispute, but it is
worth trying, the yachtsman thinks, to
the extent of the |1(),000 which the trial
machine is likely to cost, because if the
steam can be exhausted back into the
' boiler, the lusts from friction, radiation,
etc., will be so small that from 70 to 80
, per cent, of the fuel now used to <lrive a
sb .mi engine will be saved.

Little Barefoot.
The most distinguished belle at ihu
Branch this week is from Hartford,
writes a New York Sim correspondent.
Shots pretty, but not wonderfully so;,
she has cunning little ways, but so have
the majority of Hu- maidens seen at the
seashore; and she is iu no way far aliove
the high American average of femininp
attractiveness, save in her feel. Those
members are not smaller than No. 4. but
they are so shapely in urffmpaired out
lines, so fine iu complexion, so utterly
free from deformity or blemish, that al
though people may not go miles to see,
them—as they did the “Mikado” old
maid's elbow - many go down to the
shore at bathing time to admire them.
They are famous. Lida is the only girl
at her hotel who goes into the surf
without slippers or stockings. Her mod
est suit covers her ankles, but her hand
some feet are bare. Nearly every year
there comes an actress to Long Branch
who distances all unprofessional com
petition at the beach, but this time the
little barefoot from Hartford is without
rivalry, and, that too, without any
sacrifice of the proprieties.
