The following letters tel their
own story.
“Valdosta, Georgia, July 20, 1882.
“1 sold one of your Patent Dust Proot
Cases about ten months ago, and the
other day it came back to me with the
request to make it wind easier. On ex
amination I found that the stem was
rusty, and I inquired into the enuse of it
The gentleman stated to me that he was
starting some saw-logs that had lodged
in the bend ol the river, when ids chain
caught in a bush and threw his watch
into about twelve feet ot water, and lie
was about two hours finding it. When
lie got it out it was running and he
thought all right. In about tin ee months
he found that Ihe stem was hard to turn
and sent it to me.
I can say that the watch is all that the
company claims for it and recommend it
to all railroad and mill men.
B. W. BENTLY.”
“Clinton, lowa, April 29, 1881.
“I wish you wduld send me a spring for

Before the Children Came,
It used to lie so very trim,
So quiet and serene,
With nothing ever out of place,
(Our little home 1 mean);
The chairs stood ranged against the w*t'J
From qfcek to week the same,
No swinging doors, no littered floors,
Before the children came 1
It seemed so still one might liuyc heard
1 he- patter of a mouse,
As we with soft and slippered feet
_ -Moved silent ’round the house j
We never stepped upon a doll,
A humming top or kite—
We ueyer heard a lisping word,
From morning until night.
Ah! there was something wanting there,
To make our lives complete,
It was the touch of baby bands,
The sound ot little feet I
The cry of “mother” here and there
(A coustcrated name),
From girl or hoy, ne’er gave us joy
Betore the children came!
But one by one they ventured in.
To bless our empty cot;
Wee darlings, very ewcet aud fair,
And happy in or lot ;
The roses climb upon the sill
To see our children play ;
The sunbeams dance and brighter glance
Than in the childless day.
Now, looking in the little nook
That holds their precious toys,
I bless kind Heayen with fervent heart
For all my girls aud boys;
For they have brought far more forme
Of earthly wealth and fame
’l ’ban e’er we had to make us glml
Before tlie children came.
WE MUST KEEP THE LIGHT
* BURNING.
‘"We must keep I lie light burn*-
mg.”
The speaker was a girl of eigh
teel., anti stood before the group
61 wumVh gaViVeToii in twliravirtf
of a light house near t little risln
ing village on (he bleak New
England coast. Tlieir husbands,
Rons, brothers and lovers were
out in their boa(6 in I lie terrible
storm; ami they, poor creatures,
were wailing and watching with
heavy hearts lor Iheir return.
She was th e light-keeper’s
daughter, Alice, and her lather,
old liulus .Lovell, had gone away
with the boats that morning, ex
pecting lo be back long before
nightfall. But a fierce storm had
swepl up from Ihe south, and not
a boal had been able, as yet, to
beat down agaiust it from the
fishing grounds, though it was
now near midnight.
The light-keeper had neglect
ed to fill tlie lamp before going
away, and the supply of OH lor-ffc
was m a store-room of which he
had the key. But when night
came on Alice supplied the lamp
with what oil she could find in
her household stores; and the
women of the village, who had
come over to sit with her because
tlie lighthouse was nearest the
sea, and irom there the first
glimpse could be caught> of any
reluming sail, had, when they'
found out ilie stale of things,
gone back, and ielciied such
small quaiiiilies of oil as they
could liud in their houses. So
the light hail le. a kept burning
alter a fashion, and ihey knew
that, without ils guiding star, h
would be impossible for the boats
even if they weal Bend me
storm, lo reach the harbor in
safely. But now the oil was al
most out, and llie lamp burned
faint and low; so Alice said :
“We must keep the light buru
iug”
A (all, powerful youth of twen
ty-one, one ot the tew men wtio
had been lelt at home when the
boats sailed away in the morning
and who had been watching with
two other men on the beach, just
then climbed the stairs to the
lantern, and turning to him, A1
ice continued :
“Jack Audsraoti, gel an axe
and break open the door of the
store room. We murt have oil.”

“Here!they are!” shouted one

down tor ihe harbor. Five ot

Ail sL'Ou on the beach now to
Bit the sixth boat come in. Ji
Was the boat on which Tom L;~
Uud was, and, as it neared the
’jeach, Alice could see fiita,
erect and grasping the tiller with
both hands as he steered the boat
for the lighthouse amid a aiiiother
of loam and a cloud of spfay. Her
father had come in one Of the
other boats and now stood beside
her.
“There’s Tom Leland at the
helm !’’ he exclaimed, as the boat
drove paßt. “Aye, but lie's hand

Just then (hose on the boat at
tempted to jibe her around the
I Win house, but the main-sheet,
not running free in the block, (he
boom was brought up with a sud
den jerk, and the boat capsified.
Ihere was wild excitement on
the beech, and a great running to
and fro among the men, and a
sound of wailing from the wo
men.
Alice LoVell stood motionless
and speechless, with white lace
set hard toward the ocean, and
despairing eyes fixed on the cap
sized boat to which her loafer still
clung, (hough every wave threat
ened to tear him from his hold.
The boat was Out a short dis
tance from (he shore, but that
short distance was a mass of
crushing, battling waves,in which
it seemed that a man’s lite would
0e beaten from his body almost
in an instant. There were two
men besides young Lelaud cling
ing to the capsized boat, which
was being driven lo the north
ward and out to sea- Even if the
boat floated, which it would not
do for many seconds more* the
men clinging to it .would soon be
beaten to death by the waves.
This was appreciated by th

opoorlunity, and taking advan
tage of Ihe wind, a stalwart fish
erman threw a line, which fell
across liie boat. The men cling
ing lo her, seised the rope aud
made it fast, and those on shore
began to pull in on it with a will,
the intention being to warp the
capsifled boat ashore.
Just then a huge wave swept
over the boat, and, when it had
rolled away) only two men were
clinging there, and a form, which
those of shore knew was Tom Le*
land’s, Was struggling in the
waves.
Alice, with a cry of despair,
raised her hands to Heaven (now
flushing; with the light of a dawn
as lovley as the night had been
stormy), and sank upon hef
knees. She Felt a hand laid on
tier shoulder, and, looking up,
saw Jack Anderson standing be
side her. Never had she Seen
such a look on his face before.
Something long dormant in Ins

rope to hit waste, and plunged
into the mad waves. The capsis

to hold the line With which
Jack Anderson was swimming to
