Imposing form, if self can make it so;
Green bag in hand, a look of wisdom rare;
Serious the face, and ignorant of smile
Or cheering laughter. A measured tread
Of vast import and digtrty. A nod
That carries with it condescension high !
A forehead high and broad ; his ears in sight;
The comb performs its labor day and night,
Ar.d each stray hair that mats the broad ex
panse, #
Nipped from its bed with practiced art and
skill 1
Tender in years, more tender iu his head,
Blackstone he quotes and apes the harlequin!
“May it please the Court” —the Court is sore
displeased—
“And ye, ye jury”—tl e jury's fast asleep.
“The learned counsel say”—that you’re a
fool —
“That in this case”—you are ridiculous—
“Y'our Honor sees”—a noisy, brawling fop
Fitter for ditch than common jurisprudence.
0, sad mistake! 0, rusty hoe and spade',
O, silent anvil, hammer, plane and awl!
Disowned by those whom mother Nature
made
To use ye well. 0, honest labor, call,

Burn his green bag and close his office

AN UNTRIED HERO.
BY C. D. CLARKE.
“And you must not marry me ?” he
said.
“I cannct,” she replied until you
have done something to prove your-elf
truly a man, and not an idler in the
great battle of life. I am only the
light-keeper’s daughter,’’ she continued,
calmly, and though my education may
have been better than the rude but kind
people among whom my life has been
passed, I am not fitted to live in the
society of which you are a part.”
“Do you suppose the time will
come when I shall ever be ashamed of
your father, the brave old man wbo
has passed his useful life in the service
of his country upon the sea ? No, Na
thalie ; when 1 say I love you, I mean
it, no more, no less. If you think you
can love me, give me an answer now.”
“ I love you already,” she said.
“My darling?”
He would have caught her in his arms
but she waved him off.”
“Not yet, Alton Somers. I must
have time to think of this, and see whe
ther I dare trust my life in your hands.’’
“I will wait,” he said. “And you
shall see if I do not win you yet.”
Nathalie Darrell lived upou tho shore
in the light-house on the point. Her
father had sent his beautiful daughter
to a school in Philadelphia. It was
was on the shore that Alton Somers
found and loved her, and when he was
down on his fi-hing excursion to the
sea beach. He lodged with a man nam
ed Melton, not far from the light
house, and he loved to be always
near her. I shall not tell you how
they looked. Let each put his own
ideal in their places, and be satisfied.
It is enough that he was Nathalie’s
type of manly strength and beauty, and
she was an angel to him. Mr. Melton
took the gun from his hand and placed
it behind the bar-counter.
“Any luck ?” he said.
“Yes. I sent a hoy up with some
birds that I shot, and they must be in
the kitchen now. Good evening Tom.
How do things go with you ?”
He spoke to a red-faced man in a
waterproof suit who was smoking by
the window, and who had nodded to him.
“ Good enough ft-shin’,” replied Tom.
“But, dod rot everything else. Nothin’
stirin’ iq the wreckiu’ line. ’Tuiut that
we want the poor critters to go ashore
you know, but we do like ’em to git in
danger, so’t we kin get a little salvage.
That’s about the way it is with me. ’
“ You shet up, Tom Peters,” said
another man in a sou wester, “You’ll
git a blow before mornin’ that will blow
I the roof off your bead.”
j “If a blow does come, and there is
any ship in danger, remember that I
make one of your boat’s crew, Tom Pe
ter’s.”
“Yaas. Yer too good a man in a
boat not to like to hev you,” said Tom.
“Are you thirsty ?” said Homers.
“Naturally so. I ginorally am,” said
Tom.
“Then have something to drink. I
never touch spirits, as you all know.
Give me some cigars, Mr. Melton, and
give the boys whatever they call for,
and put it in the bill. So you tliiuk
there is acbance for a storm, Billy Fran
cis ?’
“Yes, I, do squire. Give me some
of that peach, Dick. I reckon wheu a
man Las got the rheumatics in hisbones
as I have, he knows when a storm is
cornin’ on.
Alton nodded round the party, and
walked out on the porch to smoke his ci
gar. Then for the first time he saw that a
change had taken place. The atmos
phere was heavily laden, and the sky
was fast turning to a strong, leaden
hue. The breeze was rising too in
fitful gusts, coming from the sea. Al
ton was enough of a sailor to understand
the signs, and he knew that Billy Fran
cis was right.
He sat there alone, smoking, and
looking at the sky, and thinking of the
time when he first met Nathalia. It
was a year before, when he was sitting
in the shade of a great rock, and saw
her rowing by, her bright hair floating
out behind her, unconfined, and ber
clear voice singing a merry song, He
had loved her from that moment, and
was determined to make her his wife.
He had followed her and from that time
people along shore understood that his
purpose in coming now was to see and
win her.
lie was not at ease, for he feared that
her mistaken notion of society would
make her decide against him, and he
knew that she had an indomitable will,
and would never yield if she bud
fully made up her miud. She had gone
up to her room, but he heard her iu the
parlor of the light-house; the old piano
was opened, and she began to play. Not
the finished songs which ladies inflict
upon suffering humanity now, hut ten
der touching ballads, gentle and gay,
such as eharm the heart and make it
softer.
Alton rose, weot to the window where
he could see her singing by herself in
her sweet, low voice such a song as
George Arnold might have written, in
the days when he trod these sands, and
woke the echoes of the broken harp
he left behind. For George Arnold
will never more touch the heart by his
simple melodies, since the sods of the
valley lie heavy on his breast. Altou
did not go to htr, hut sat iu the shadow
listening intently. Night came on, but
she still sat at the instrument with her
head upon her hands.
“I must not intrude upon her,” he
said. “Let her decide as she thinks
best. If it goes against me, it will
only be another disappointment, and
my life is full of them.”
He rose and stole down toward the
beach against the gale which was now
roaring in from the sea, scattering the
spray before it. He stood upon a high
rock looking out upon the gathering
gloom, when a brilliant light flashed out
from far across the water, and was gone
Thou came a low sound, like distant
thunder. That flash came from a gun,
and he knew that a ship was in the of
fing, in distress.
He turned and ran back toward the
house, shouting to the men. On the
way he met Tom Peters, bareheaded
just as he had darted out at the first
alarm.
“Did you hear anything ?” he gasped.
“A ship in distress,” replied Alton.
“Call out the mpn, There goes the!
gun !”
Tho wreckers eauie trooping out, aud
made for the shore. Some carried dry
tinder and matches to start beacons,
and others picked up every stick they
could fiud which would burn, to lay
upon the flumes.
The minute guns flashed quickly now
and they knew the ship was driving in
at hor best speed before the furious gale
now blowing.
“If her sticks ain’t the best seasoned
timber I ever beard on,” said Tom Pe
ters, “she’s gone ! The Lord have mer
cy ou her, if so bo she strikes on the
second reef. No oue on ’em would ever
git to shore!”
Again the guu flashed, this time nearer
the shore, and the beacons began to
light up the darkuess. All the people
along the shore were on the beach, men
women aud children, and they could
hardly stand up agniust the wind, which
cut the crests from the heavy waves,
and sent the waves into the face of the
crowds. For two hundred yards from
the shore they could see plainly a suc
cession of white-capped waves rolling in
wildly toward them, and the white-jib
of a schooner gleamed before their eyes
and she struck.
From the place where they stood,
she was wrapped in darkness, except
the bowsprit. The next wave lifted her
and threw her further in, dropping her
with a crash on the rocks. Every bolt
seemed to start under the terrible shock,
and there she hung, the merciless waves
beating against her, and tearing away
tho very sheating every moment.
Again and again tbe huge rollers came
in, and every one, of them on reced
ing bore away some portion of the
wreck. The wrecked schooner seemed
to comp’ain at every blow. Her crew,
eight in number, ran out upon the bow
sprit and waved their hands towards
the shore for aid.
“Run out the boat,” cried out Alton.
“Do not let us stand idle here.”
Many willing hands ran her out in
to the surf, and as they worked Alton
was praying :
“Oh, God, by whose will I must per
haps lose my best and dearest on this
desolate shore, grant that my hands may
aid in saving a life, which is dear to
someone though never dearer than her
love to me!”
They worked hard, desperately. As
often as they thrust out the long boat so
often the cruel surf dashed them back,
bruised and bleeding on the shore.
“This will not do,” said Alton, “ if
we iutend to save yonder drowning
men. Take your places all wbo go
with me, and let those who stay on
shore, givo us a start through the surf.
Get out your oars, and as soon as you
touch the water, pull as you never pull
ed before.”
They took their places at his order,
and poised their oars, and little Willie
Darrell, Nathalia’s brother, took his
seat as coxswain. The had lad the same
clear bright, eyes as his sister, and sun
ny clear, hair like hers.
Twelve strong men seized the boat
and ran her out through the first line
of surf and then fell back out of reach.
The oars dashed into the water, and
eight muscuiar frames were thrown in
to the stroke. All upon those on shore
gave a loud shout, for they knew they
had conquered at last. A feeble cheer
came back from the men on the wreck.
Just then a mountain wave rose high
in the air, and the spar was buried.
When it receded, two forms less were
seen upon the spar
“Look sharp thus e in the bows,” cried
Alton. “Keep your on the water,
Willie. Do you see them ?”
“Here they come J” shouted Willie,
who was wild with excitement. “Un
ship oars, and stand by to take them !”
As the two men who had been wash
ed off the spar drifted up, strong hands
seized and dragged them into the boat,
where they lay thoroughty exhausted.

ed out upon the sea, Nathalie Darrell
watched the struggle. She saw her
hero, calm, unmoved by any feeling save
compassion for tbe men who shared bis
peril, working with cool courage to save
those precious lives. She had been
harrassed by fears that if she allowed
herself to follow the impul-c of her
heart, she might do the man she loved
a wrong, in suffering him to marry a
woman beneath him in social rank.—
This had been iter doubt. Ho lovel
her now; of this she bad no doubt.—
But if she disappointed him in the after
years, she would only reproach bcrself.
But now, seeing him labor in the storm
for the sake of suffering humanity, she
felt that he had a heart which could
suffer no change. She saw them reach
the broken spar, and take off the drown
ing men, one by one. Willie raised his
band, and, without turning, the boat shot
backward. It was not a moment too
soon ; for just then a huge green moun
tain came sweeping in from sea, and the
wreck was gone. She fell upon her
knees, weeping tears of joy that he had
succeeded, and did not raise her head
until she felt strong arms a’ out lnrr,
while his voice whispered:
“My darling, give me my answer
now.”
She raised her head and laid it oo
that manly breast, ber shield and de
fence througli life. And so they were
happy, being pure.

Some Facts About tiie Oyster.—
The oyster when spawn’.ig does not
cast its eggs like others fish, but dis
solves, as it were, a part of its own body
which passes offin long, slender threads,
as fine as a spider’s web, upon which
are congregated millions of little eggs,
not visible to the nacked eye; but
which when put under a powerful mag
nifying glass astonishes the beholder by
their number. It is estimated that
about seventy per cent, or the spawn is
destroyed by fish, and about ten per
cent, from other causes, leaving twenty
per cent, to find their way into market.
These little “seed,” clinging to what
ever they touch, generally to old oys
ters, and the many little shells one
often seen clinging to large oysters, are
but the growth of these seed. When
oysters have spawned in a clear place
and free from their fish enemies, their
growth is very rapid until they attain
the size of a quarter of a dollar, and it
is at this period of their existenoe that
the oystermen take them for transplant
ing. The shells are very thin and tho
inside meat scarcely larger than a shirt
button, and having the rest of the shell
filled with a milky fluid, which in time
forms the body of the fish. Oysters,
after they are transplanted, are with
few exceptions, not fit to eat under
three years. It might be supposed that
the oyster, with its hard shell, was free
from all danger, but such is not the
case. He has two deadly enemies—tho
starfish and the borer. The former
will fasten on the mouth of an oyster
and in a short time suck the life out of
him. The latter, with his little saw
and gimblet bill, bores through his
shell, and, once through, the oyster is
soon destroyed.

By a series of observations made iu
Philadelphia last summer, the singular
fset was ascertained that the advent of
peaches curtailed fully one-third the sale
alcoholic and inalt liquors in retail estab

became, the smaller were the receipts at,
drinkiug bars.
It is reported that a man in Cincin
nati fell from the top of a four story
building, the other day, to the stone
sidewalk beneath without being injured
in the least. Ho was a life insurance
agent, and struck on bis cheek. At the
time of his fall be was leaning on the
