ROMANCE IN LIFE.
From Forecastle and Coal Yard to the
r Pulpit.
The Boston Record has been told a story
-a story of real life—a story of struggle
wit h the apparently impossible; of ambition,
of success so wonderful that some will say
that it is but romance—a story of love and
its culmination as a fitting and final
triumph.
One evening last week a pretty wedding
was solemnized at a beautiful residence in
Roxburv. The bride was attired in heavy
white silk, and wore a voluminous veil,
gcores of intelligent men and beautiful
women crowded about with their congratu
lations. Many and costly were the gifts
which were bestowed upon the bridal pair
bv their friends, and many were the con
gratulations which were showered upon
Them. But this is anticipating.
It was about thirteen years ago that a ves
sel firing a foreign flag entered the harbor
of Providence, R. I. Among the crew was
a young Norwegian, scarcely more than a
j a j who, as the vessel entered the bay and
finally dropped anchor in the outer harbor,
gazed upon the almost matchless beauty of
the Narmgansett shores. His heart swelled
within him as ho thought of this as the
Western land of promise, of which he had
so often heard, and a great determination
rose in his heart to make this his future
home, to bring hither his widowed mother
ami establish for them both a habitation in
the land of liberty. '
His voyage over, he received the pittance
due him and went on shore. He was alone,
a stranger in a strange land. Time, he could
speak English, for he had been taught the
language in the Norwegian schools. Beyond
this lie was helpless. Where should he turn?
Whither should he go ?
He wandered along the docks until he
reached the great iron drawbridge which
spans the river almost at its mouth. Half
crossing tho bridge he stopped in mid
stream and stood gazing down the bay. Ho
could see the vessel in which ho came, the
j only home he knew. The flag still fluttered
a t the peak and seemed to call to him to re
turn to the land of the North. But he could
not do that. He had resolved to test this
new world and see what it had in store for
hjni, But where should he look for shelter;
to whom should he look for aid.
For some time he stood thus gazing down
the bay and lost in reverie. He did not hear
the slow tramp of a horse and the dull rum
ble of wheels upon the planks of the bridge.
He did not notice that the vehicle suddenly
stopped near him and that a pleasant-faced
gentleman was leaning from a buggy and
looking intently at him. A moment more
and he was startled by an exclamation:
‘•Hullo!"
The young Norwegian turned and saw
What has been described. The gentleman
in the buggy beckoned to him. He drew
near, wondering.
•‘Who are you, young man? What are
you standing * here for?” asked the gentle
man, kindly.
“I am a Norwegian sailor, sir,” answered
the young man. “I have just reached your
country, and I think I will stay if I can find
a home and work.”
“Perhaps I can help you. Get in with me.
I will see what I can do for you.”
The Norwegian complied, still wondering.
He was taken to the house of a Swedish em
ploye of his newly-found friend, where he
found a tempo rary home. In a few days
work was provided for him, and his career
in this country was fairly begun.
The limits o/ a newspaper article are in
sufficient to tell the tale of the subsequent
decade. By hsrd labor he succeeded in sav
ing money enough to bring his mother to his
new home. Then his happiness was com
plete. But not long after her arrival he was
thrown out of work. This was in the hard
winter of 1876. Nothing opened for him
save a situation in a cosil yard, where he
was employed in delivering coal to cus
tomers. But he yearned for something bet
ter than this. A great ambition filled his
soul. He determined to become a minister.
“What shall I do?” he inquired of afriend.
“Get a thorough education first,” was the
advice, and then see what opens.
He had no money, but he had a brave
heart. Procuring a few elementary Latin
and Greek books he took them under his
arin and directly enlisted for a year as an
ordinary seaman on board the revenue cut
ter Samuel Dexter. A queer thing to do,
you say. So it was, but he knew what he
was about. He studied diligently in all his
spare hours, and when his term of enlist
ment had expired he had kept pace with the
class at the preparatory school at East
Greenwich and, having saved his wages,
liad sufficie t funds to pay his tuition for
the second year. He studied hard. The
lii xf summer he was employed as a sailor on
L'ster \\ allack's yacht, and so earned ami
savr-d money enough to carry him through
the third year and fit him for Yale.
The next year he entered Yale and strug
gled through by teaching and preaching. A
portion of the time he was employed by
Pi''l. Phelps, now United States Minister to
England, as a private tutor in bis family.
He was rising in the world, you see.

A graduate of Yale, finally, with a high
tank, he entered the theological school, and
for the first year occupied the pulpit of a
church in a small town near New Haven,
i hen he was called to the theological school
where he taught English to a
class of Scandinavian students. Meantime
he completed his studies in theology, and a
lew months ago was graduated with honor.
->ow comes our love story, adding a
charming chapter to this romantic life. His
widowed mother had taken a second hus
har.d and had settled upon a farm in Dakota,
cvt summer the whilom Norwegian sailor,
new a college and theological graduate, a
gentleman cultivated, educated and refined,
journeyed to Dakota, for the purpose of
Paring a visit to his mother. While here
fie met a young lady of Boston, who was
nutiug friends at the West. The story lias
already been surmised. The pretty wedding

which the trickling tears had flowed, when
Barren Leveling, a worthy citizen of the
adjacent village of Chatham, asked her to
be pas wife. Happiness ensued, and the
birth of two children fitted the measure of
Mr. Loveling’s joy.
NEWS FROM THE SUPPOSED DEAD.
A short time ago the postmaster at Brew
ster received a letter of inquiry from Al
pheus My rick. Happening to be at Liver-
P?pb he thought that he would write to his
old home to ascertain if his wife was alive,
and how many of the Myrick family were
gathered to their fathers.
The letter was passed over to a brother of
Alpheus Myrick by the postmaster, to whom
it was addressed. Cliarles Myrick was
astounded by the intelligence. He supposed
his brother long since dead. When he re
covered from his amazement he told his sis
ter the startling development and sat down
to communicate with the wanderer. In the
letter which Charles Myrick addressed to
his brother, the family history was sketched
from the date of Alpheus’ departure up to
the present time. The story of the second
marriage of his wife and the reasons there
for were related in detail. After the letter
was sent Charles Myrick enjoined secrecy as
to the discovery of his brother’s presence in
the flesh. *
THE WANDERER RETURNS.
One night last week a gray-haired man
over fifty years of age alighted at the little
station of the Old Colony railroad at Brew
ster when the evening train from Boston ar
rived. Repairing at once to the Myrick
homestead the stranger disclosed his identi
ty. It was Alpheus Myrick. He had jour
neyed from England hither to get a glimpse
once more of the home of his boyhood, and
to see his old friends again. A person who
knew him well and conversed with him, re
lates the following :
“I should have known it was Alpheus
Myrick the minute I clapped my eyes on
him, even if I hadn’t known he had come
back to life and was expected home every
day. It was the same chap he was twenty
seven years ago, only grown older, and he
didn’t seem to have grown old near so fast
as we have here in Brewster. He said that
when he went from London in that small
steamer it was a stormy voyage they made,
and when they finally did get into port they
were seventy-live days overdue. From the
Indies he cruised about everywhere, taking
good care to keep away from this country
while the war lasted, as his father had
warned him. Letters were not answered
which he sent, and he quit writing them.
“Finally, about seven years after he had
left Brewster, he was in a port in South
America, where some Cape Cod seamen
were lying to, and he once heard several of
them talking about news from home, and
one man from Chatham said: ‘Well, they
say that poor Alpheus Jl vrick's widow has
married again—a man at Chatham.’ That
was enough for him.
“On the strength of that he gave up fol
lowing the sea, and determined to settle
down right there in South America and
never go back to Cape Cod again. He never
wrote any letters after tlmt or tried to get
communication from home. He stayed
there for a number of years without going
to sea, and was but a few miles all the time
from the South American port where his
brother Charles was sailing to, back and
forth from New York. After a while he
took to the sea again, and became as great
a wanderer as before, going all over the
world, but never near Cape Cod. Last win
ter he was in Liverpool, and it was there he
wrote from to find out if all hands in Brew
ster were dead ami what kind of a reception
he might expect if ho should come home.”
Alpneus Myrick did not receive the letter
sent to him 'by his brother Charles. Al
though he was aware of the marriage of his
wife he could not resist the desire in his
heart to return to the Cape once more. Af
ter seeing his brother and sister he returned
to Boston, never to set face in Brewster
again. Ho has ere this left the country.
THE SEASON OPENED.
A Snake Story on the Good Old Plan
and as True as Ever.
From tke Doylestoum Democrat.
Abner O. Crouthamel, of Keller's Church,
Bedmininister township, is strictly a tem
perate man. It was on Sunday afternoon,
April 24, A. D. 1887, that that gentleman
strolled through Jordan A. Snyder’s woods
enjoying the warm sunshine and balmy
breezes. An adventure in that peaceful nook
of nature did not enter Mr. Crouthamel’s
miml; yet it is the unexpected that is always
happening. As he walked quietly over the
leafy mold, through which an occasional
rash wild flower had raised its pretty head
in defiance of frost and snow, his atten
tention was attract'd by a peculiar noise.
Ho turned and looked in the direction
from whence the noise proceeded and
beheld at his feet a mass of snakes—at least
fifty, he estimated. There were big snakes
-and little snakes, the largest one being, as
near as he could tell, about twelve feet long,
and the smallest of more circumscribed di
mensions. There were all varieties in
digenous to the vicinity—black snakes, cop
per snakes, garter snakes, pilots, house
snakes, water snakes, etc., interlaced and
twisted into a mass of color resembling a
chef d,'oeuvre of an oriental loom or the
crazy patchwork handiwork of a society
belle, studded with rubies and sapphires and
emeralds and diamonds. Mr. Crouthamel
did not contemplate the beautiful picture
many seconds, but returned home imme
diately for his gun.
Now and then he stoppod along the way
long enough to tell a passing neighbor the
wonderful story, and when he was ready to
return with his trusty shotgun, that had
doomed many a rabbit and pheasant to an
untimely stewing pan, twenty-five neigh
bors, including several courageous young
ladies, had assembled to accompany him to
the battlefield. A caucus was held and Mr.
Crouthamel was compelled to rejieat his
story and minutely describe each kind of
snake he had seen. A discussion followed as
to what kind of snakes they really were, and
some of the caucus members talked of
going home to consult their schlong book,
that is to say their snake book, so that
they could agree. This was abandoned, how
ever. But the caucus was ill-advised, as
nearly all the snakes had taken opportunity
f tbo delay and crawled back into their
dens under the rocks. When the assaulting
party arrived but icvcn remained of all the
fifty snakes, and Mr. Crouthamel, being a
good marksman, soon dispatched these, the
longest of which measured 7 feet. The
great battle was fcmght and won.
Homeward their way
The snake party wended—
The schlong story's ended.
Langtry and Bernhardt.
From the New York Sun.
One of the funniest things of the season
aro the series of pictures which a photo
grapher has made of Langtry and Bern
hardt. They could be called Spring and
Pall, or Nature and Art, or the Is and the
Was. They are hang in a Broadway win
dow in the following order: The first repre
sents Langtry in a simple braided stuff
dress, her beautiful hair brushed I Mick, her
entire person without ornament, and almost
stout in her robust health. Bernhardt is
wrapped in a huge cloak, wearing a hat
from under which project*a mass of frizzled
hair and the pinched little face, her long,
bony arms encused in the inevitable
wrinkled gloves, and their claws clasped in
an attitude of penitence. Bernhardt’s face
is full front, while Langtry’s is sharp profile,
gazing with an amused look at the weird
genius beside her. In the next picture
Bernhardt keeps the same attitude, but
Langtry has evidently found out who it is,
and Is proportionally amused, for her face
is adorned with a positive laugh, and there
is a cast in the eye next to the famous
French actress that seems to invite you to
catch on to her side partner and see if you
don’t find her rs funny us she does. The
portrait of Langtry shows how much flesh
she has accumulated during the season. Her
face is as round as an apple, and certainly
these last pictures would never moke a
reputation for ethereal beauty.
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1887.
A NEWSBOY’S NERVE.
Clinging to a Rope of an Escaped Bal
loon for Fifty Miles.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
A recent trip of a scientific party in a bal
loon recalls to memory the thrilling ad
venture of a Son Francisco newsboy who
took an involuntary excursion in a balloon
from Oakland to Suisun Plains. Like that
of the scientific part)' the ascension was un
heralded. But it was alike the town talk
and the excitement of the hour.
Balloon ascensions were of rare occur
rence, and the announcement that a large
balloon was to go up from a garden in Oak
land was sufficient to fill three steamer loads
of excursionists from San Francisco. Tt
was an exceptionally pleasant Sunday after
noon in August, and a Mr. Kelly was to act
as the aeronaut. Numerous small balloons
had as usual been provided to test the cur
rent of air, and to indicate the probable
direction the balloon would take iqion lieing
set free. The balloon itself was a fine, large
one, constructed of silk, with the usual bas
ket attached for carrying passengers.
Either Kelly was incompetent, the volume
of gas insufficient, or for some other, mid to
tho crowd unknown, cause the balloon did
not ascend when Kelly seated himself in the
suspended car and gave the signal to cut
the rope that fastened the balloon to the
earth. Instead of going upward it drifted
along the ground for some fifty yards, when
it was again secured and Kelly jumped to
the ground. A lighter man then took his
place, but it would not rise with him either.
The car was then detached from the balloon
and a piece of broad scantling attached to it
some four inches in width, resembling a
trapeze bar. The people in tho meantime
were jeering the professor in a good-natured
way, and several asked him to give them a
ride, presuming that they would be taken a
few yards only.
REDDY TAKES A RIDE.
Among them was a bright lad of sixteen,
though looking much younger. He was a
newsboy and orange-peddler, well known in
Ban Francisco for Ins quick wit, brilliant
shock of intense hair and predisposition for
mischief. He was a thin, wiry little fel
low, and known by his comrades as “Red
dy.”
Either of his own motion or at the care
less suggestion of some thoughtless person,
Reddy jumped astraddle of the suspended
scantling and handed his basket of oranges
to his partner. Someone sung out, “Let
her go!” and up she went, to the consterna
tion of everybody that knew it was an acci
dent. The boy’s" legs were suspended in the
air, and his weight depressed the hoop to
which the bar was attached, throwing his
back against the ropes of tho balloon, tho
ropes being only one-quarter of an inch in
circumference.
As the boy arose Prof. Kelly cried out to
“pull the valve rojie when ho wished to
come down.” But the valve rope had
caught in the balloon netting and was not
to be reached. He ascended rapidly for
some forty feet, when a current of air
turned the balloon in a southwesterly direc
tion, and, clinging to the ropes, he was car
ried across an arm of the bay to the south
of Oakland. Ho then rose to an immense
height.
Prof. Kelly mounted a fleet horse and en
deavored to follow the course of the balloon
in vain. It w seen through a glass to be
drifting over the crest of a mountain, but
whether the boy still maintained his grip on
the ropes or not was uncertain. The course
of the voyage was now turned in a north
easterly direction. In half an hour from
the start the balloon was lost to view, and
there were no hopes of the ! ioy’s safety.
Death stared him in the face. If he was not
dashed to earth he would go up until he
reached a great height, when the rarefac
tion of the air would destroy him. Another
danger awaited him. He was thinly clad
and would soon become benumbed and
frozen, relax his hold and fall to tho earth.
REDDY’S THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Reddy said, in relating his experience,
that be “was dizzy at first and shut his eyes,
but thought he must brace up, as he was in
for it, and do the best ho could.” He saw a
panorama of the city. He heal’d people
shouting orders from below, but could not
distinguish their commands. He was con
scious of his position by the changing of
the location of objects below him. He
claimed never to have lost his presence
of mind. He pulled, he thinks at
tho valve rope, but it broke in his
hand, and the end drifted from him. He
looked down and saw a rough country be
low, and thought ho would not like to land
there, for fear of grizzlies and the addi
tional dread of getting into some deep
canyon that he would be unable to find his
way out of.
It was getting along toward dark, and a
more level country The boy tried hut
failed to reach the valve rope again, and
almost gave up, when an inspiration seized
him.
He thought of his knife. Standing up on
the scantling, his limbs already stiffened by
the cold and the contracted position that
they had been in so long, he reached for his
pocket knife, and opening it put it in his
teeth, and climbed up the swinging quarter
inch rope until lie reached fhe balloon. It
would not do to make a large puncture, so
he cut a small hole and crawled back to liis
perch. The balloon, relieved of its gas, slow
ly sank to the ground, and when within a few
ieot the boy swung oil from his perilous
seat and landed uninjured, except for a
slightly sprained ankle. As he leaped the
balloon, missing his weight, went up to the
clouds again and disappeared almost in
stantly. It was now nearly night, and he
was five miles from any house on the Suisau
plains, and fifteen miles from Benicia.
His full name is James Gates, and he is
yet living and is prosperous.
CURIOUS SPECIMENS OF MONEY.
Notes Which Had Been Burned and
Eaten by Pigs Redeemed.
From the Wajihinyton Dost.
Some curious sjiecimens of mutilated note*
have recently boon presented at the United
States Treasury for redemption. One of
these consisted of about SIOO in national
bank notes, which had beer: placed in a
small tin can for security, but which after
wards caught fire in some unknown way
and were burned to a crisp. When recovered
they resembled nothing except a black char
red mass. The package was submitted to
experts, and notes to the amount of SSO
wexe taken from it in small sections and
easily identified. A check to that amount
was mailed to the owner.
Another case was where the experts wore
called u|xm to examine small pieces of pulp,
which it was explained was all that re
mained of a pocket-book containing about
which a Western farmer hud dropped
in a field while at work and which hadboaa
torn piecemeal by one of his pigs, who had
leisure iw •hewed it until it began to taste
badly, and had then spit it out in pieces as
he trudged along the pasture. All thatcould
be found were sent to tho Treasury and
enough remnants were discovered to en
title the farmer to the suin of S4O in good
money.
