Rowing ao fleetly.

Idle her longing, vain her prayer.
Be rowa the (aatar.
Anon they float on a river wide,
a mighty river.
Ihatead of flower* by the water aide,
Pale aapena quiver.
And 10, a woman where aat the inaid

The boatman, grim and nudiamayed,
Still rowing fleetly.
On and on, till they reach the aea
That flow* (or ever;
And drift away on the ocean free,
Returning never.
And vain It la (or the earthly eye
To follow thither;
And vainly mortal tongue may cry,

Good Talkers.
(Dr. Ilollami, in Scribners for October.]
The first requisite of a good talker is
genuine social sympathy. A man may
not say out of some selfish motive, or
some motive of personal policy, “ Go to!
1 will become a good talker.” He must
enjoy society, and have a genuine desire
to serve and please. We have all seen
the talker who talks for his own pur
poses, or talks to please himself. He is
the well-known character—the talking
bore. The talker who gets himself up
for show, who plans his conversations for
an evening, and crams for them, liecomes
* intolerable. He lectures; he does not
converse; lor there is no power of a
talker so delightful as that of exciting
. others to talk, and listening to what his
own inspiring and suggestive utterances
have called forth. Genuine social sym
pathy and a hearty desire to please
others are necessary to produce such a
talker as this, and no other is tolorable.
(Social sympathy is a natural gift, and
* there is a combination < f other gifts
which constitute what mi lit be called
etjirit, that are very essential to a good
talker. This combination includes in
dividuality, tact and wit —the talents,
aptitudes, and peculiar characteristic
charm which tenable a man to use the
materials oh Conversation in an engaging
way, entirely his own; for every good
talker has his own way of saying good
things, as welLas of managing conversa
tion based .on his esprit.
Yet it is true that there arc no good
talkers who depend upon their natural
gifts and such material as they get in
the usual interchanges of society. For
the materials of conversation, we must
draw upon knowledge. No man can be
a thoroughly good talker who does not
know a great deal. Social sylnpathy
and “the gift of gab” go but a short
way toward producing good conversation,
though we heni a groat deal of this kind
of talk among the young. Sound and
exact knowledge is the very basis of
good conversation. To know a great
many things well is to have in hand the
best and most reliable materials of good
conversation. There is nothing like
abundance juni exactness of knowledge
with which to furnish a talker. Next
to this, perhaps, is familiarity with
polite literature. The faculty o"f quot
ng from 11 us nest authors is a very de
sirable one. Facts are valuable, and
thoughts pgrliaps are quite as valuable,
especially as they are more stimulating
to the conversation of. a group. The
talker who deals alone in facts is quite
likely to have the talk all to himself,
while the man who is familiar with
thoughts and ideas, as he itas found
?’them embodied in literature, becomes a
stimulator of thought and conversation
in those around hpn. Familiarity with
knowledge and with the products of
literary art cannot be too mut;h insisted
on as the furniture of good conversa
tion.
Beyond this, the good talker must be
familiar with the current thought and
events of his time. There should he no
movement in polities, religion and so
ciety that the good talker is not familiar
with. Indeed, the man who undertakes
to talk at all must know what is upper- j
most in men’s miuds, and be able to add :
to the general fund of thought and j
knowledge, and respond to the popular !
inquiry and the popular disposition for j
The map who undertakes to i
be a good talker should never ho caught '

salaries average from 750 to 1,050 marks
(£37 to £52) a year, besides an allow

vacancies which may occur shall lie
filled by male clerks,' not by females.

Flood.the Bonanza King.
[Troy Tlfiit*. j
Mr. Flood, the hanking and mining
autocrat of the Pacific coast, is appar- J
ently a little over fifty years old, in the I
prime of life, weighing about two hun- I
dred and twenty pounds, with light |
mustache and elan whiskers that hardly
conceal a peculiar, haM-misftustful -ex
pressioiiAif the mouth. He is evidently
not fond of personal display. He* wore
a plain gray suit, straw hat, calico neck
tie, and no jewelry excepting aminature
compass on liis watch chain. On hisin
vitation we inspected his new house, in
the building of which he appears to take
great delight. During the conversation
that naturally followed as we strolled
| through the place, we had ample oppor
' tunity to judge him for ourselves. It
was evident that with all his mental
deliberation he has keen perception.
For instance, while looking from a win
dow upon the great fountain in front of
the house, he jtointed out that the group
of figures in the center was too small.
Said he: “ I mean to take that down
and put up a figure a third larger.”
Again, while passing through the dining
room, his eyes fell upon some paneled
work, and he said: “ I don’t like that; I
want something more generous—larger.”
In an adjoining room he called our atten
tion to the panels, remarking: “That’s
what I want in that other room.” His
taste was excellent, and his judgment
so keen that it entered instinctively into
every detail. We followed his lead from
apartment to apartment, until we
reached the Observatory upon the root.
Here a beautiful landscape was spread
out. Golden fields of wheat, grteeu fields
of wild mustard, solid oak* rearing them
selves skyward, lay before and behind us
in the mellow sunlight as far as the
human eye could see.

A Smart Wife.
(Dtiro.t J ip IM-*.]
The other morning a citizen called at
a hardware store on Woodward avenue
and i.aid he wanted a key to a certain
door in his house, and took up and car
ried away almost the first key handed to
hint, (in his way down town after din
ner he stopped and exchanged the key
for another, explaining that the first
wouldn’t fit. These changes took place
twice a day for the next four days, the
citizen being unable to get hold of a key
to fit. Uu the sixth day he drove up to
the store with a door on a dray, and call
ing .0 the proprietor,he said:
“ Bring your box of keys out here and
we’ll get a tit to that lock. Here I have
been running ba/:k and forth for about a
week, and I might not have got a fit for
a whole month if my w r ife had nai sug
gested that I bring the door down here,
borne of these women are m.gfcty smart.”
“ But why didn’t you take the lock off
and bring it down in your pocket?” asked
the dealer.
The buyer looked at him in a vacant
way, stared hard at the door, and sat
down on the curbstone with the remark:
“ It’s a wonder that the whole family
wasn’t sent to the fool-house ten years
ago!”
A Chance for Snuday Schools.
'Loudan Amarlean Traveler.;
The other day a park ranger came
across a stranger fisning in one of the
ponds with a cotton string to which was
attached a hook made of the wire of! a
soda-water bottle and baited with an
apple core.
“Do you expect to catch fish with
such a line as that?” asked the ranger.
“ No sir.”
“ Fishing for fun?”
M No sir.”
The nettled ranger was about to tell
the calm-minded stranger to fish away
and be banged to him, when he carefully
lifted his hook out of the water, spit on
the apple core, and said: “ I’ve been in
this city two days and over, sleeping in
boxes and living on air, and I was just
experimenting to see if there was a
darned reptile in- the neighborhood as
hungry as me.” This man was once
worth thou-ands. Work this up for
