JOE LAMBERT’S FERRY.
It was a thoroughly disagreeable
March morning. Tho wind blow in
sharp gusts from every quarter of tho
compass by turns. It seemed to tako
especial delight In rushing suddenly
around corners nnd taking away tho
breath of anybody it could catch there
coming from the opposite direction.
The dust, too, filled people’s eyes and
noses and mouths, while tho damp, raw
March air easily found its way through
the best clothing, and turned boys skins
into pimply gooso-llosh.
» It was a' out as disagreeable a morn
ing for going out as can be Imagined;
and yot everybody in tho little western
river town who could get out wont out
anti stayed out.
Mon nud women, boys nnd girls, and
even little children, ran to tho river
bank; anil once there tlioy stayed, with
no thought, it seemed, of going back to
their homes or their work.
The people of tho town wore wild with
excitement, and everybody told every
body else what had happened, although
everybody knew all about it already.
Everybody, I mean, except Joo Lam
bert, ami ho had been so busy ever
since daylight, sawing wood in Stjuiro
(irisard’s woodshed, that he had neither
seen nor hoard anything at all. .Joe
was the poorest person in the town,
lie was the only boy there who really
had no home nnd nobody to cure for
him. Throe or four vents before this
March morning, Joo had been left an
orphan, and being utterly destitute, he
should have been sent to tho poor-
house, or “ bound out” to some person
as a sort of servant. But Joe Lambert
lmd refused to go to llic poor-houso or
to become a bound boy. lie had de
clared his ability To lake care of him
self, and by working hard at odd jobs,
sawing wood, rolling barrels on the
harf, picking apples or weeding on
ions as opportunity oHerod, he lmd
managed to support himself “after
manner,” as the village people sail
That is to say, he generally got enough
to eat, and some clothes to wear. He
slept in a warehouse shed, the owner
having given him leave to do so on
condition that he would act as a sort of
watchman on tho premises.
Joe Lambert alone of all the villagers
knew nothing of what had happened;
and of course Joe Lambert d il not
count for anything in the estimation of
people who had houses t > live in. Tho
only reason I have gone out of the way
to make an exception of so unimpor
tant a person is that I think Joe did
count for something on that particular
March day at least
When lie finished tho pile of wood
that ho had to saw, and went to the
house to get his money, he found no
body there. Going down the street he
found the town empty, and, lookin
down a cross street, he saw the crowd
that had gathered on the river-bank,
thus learning at last that something un
usual had occurred. Of course lie ran
to the river to learn what it was.
When he got there he learned that
Noah Martin, ihe fisherman who was
also the ferryman between the village
its neighbor on the other side of the
river, had been drowned during tho
early morning in a foolish attempt to
row his ferry-skiff across tho stream.
The ice which had blocked the river for
two months, had begun to move on the
day before, and Martin with his wife
and baby—a child about a year old -
were on the other side of tho river at
the time. Early on that morning there
had been a temporary gorging of the
ice about a mile above the town, and,
taking advantage of the comparatively
free channel, Martin had tried to cross
with his wife and child, in his b >at.
Tho gorge had broken up almost im
mediately, as tho river was rising rapid
ly, and Martin’s boat had been caught
i and crushed in tho ice. Martin had
! ' been drowned, but his wife, with her
child in her arms, had clung to the
wreck of the skiff', and had been carried
by the current to a littlo low-lying
is’nnd just in front of the town
What had hnppt-nod was of less im
portance, howe.er, Ilian what people
saw must happen. Tho poor woman
and baby mil there on the island,
drenched as they had been in the icy
water, must soon die with cold, and,
moreover, the is'aud was now nearly
under water, wlii o the great stream was
rising rapidly. It was evident that
Within an hour or two the water would
iweop over tho whole surface of the
island, nml the great fields of ice would
of course carry tho woman and child to
a torn Dio death.
tvu»,v wild suggestions woro made for
their rescue, but nono that gave tho
least hope of success. It was simply
impossible to launch a boat. The vast
Holds of ice, two or three feet in thick
ness, nnd front twenty lectio ft hundred
ynrds in breadth, were crushing nnd
grinding down the river at tho rale of
Four or live miles nn hour, turning and
twisting about, sometimes jamming
their edges together with so great a
force that ono would lap over imothor,
and sometimes drifting apnrt nnd leav
ing wide open spaces between for a
moment or two. Ono might ns well go
upon such a river in an egg shell as in
the stoutest row-boat over built.
Tho poor woman with her babe could
bo Boon from tho shore, standing there
alone on the rapidly narrowing strip of
Island. Her voice could not reach tho
people on the bank, but when she hold
lior poor little baby toward them in
mute appeal tor help, tho mothers there
understood her agony.
There Avas nothing to ho dono, how
ever. Human sympathy was given
freely, but human help was out of the
question. Everybody on the river-shore
was agreed in that opnlon. Every
body, that is to say, exceot Joo Lnm-
oert. lie had been <> I n iu tho habit
of finding ways to help himself under
difficulties that lie did not easily make
up his nvnd to think any caso hopeless.
No sooner did Joo clearly understand
htnv matters stood than ho ran nwny
from llie crowd, nobody paying any at
tention to what lie did. Half an hour
Inter, somebody cried out: “ Look
there! Who's that, and what's ho go
ing to do? ’ pointing up the stream.
Looking in that (Erection, tho people
saw some one three quarters of a milo
away standing on a boating field of
ice in tho river, lie had a largo farm-
basket strapped upon his shoulders,
svhilo in his hands he held a piank.
j Afi 'he iee-Jidd upon which ho too I
neared another, tho youth ran forward,
threw liis plank down, making a bridge
of it, and crossed to (ho farther fief I.
.'lion picking up his plank, lie wailed
for achniico to repeat (no process.
As ho thus drifted down tho river,
svery eye was strninod in his direction.
Uro.sently some one cried nut; “It's
Joe Lambert; and he's trying to cross
to U e island!”
There was a shout ns tho people tin-
lerstood tho nature of Joe’s heroic at-
ompt, and then a hush as its extreme
danger became apparent.
•Joe lmd laid lii.s plans wisely nml well,
hut it seemed impossible 1 hut ho should
succeed. His pur| o-o was, with the a d
of tho plank to cross lrom ono iec-l eld
o another until ho should reach the
-land; but as that would require a good
leal of time, and tho ice was moving
lown stream pretty rapidly, it was ncc-
sary to start at a point above tho
town. Joo had gone about a mile up
the river before going on the ice, and
when first seen from tho town ho had
alrcajly reached the channel.
After that first shout a whisper might
have been hoard in the crowd on the
bank. Tho heroism of tho poor boy’s
attempt avroil the spectators, and the
momentary expectation that he would
disappear forever amid lbo crushing
ice-fields made them hold their breath
in anxiety and terror.
His greatest danger was from the
smaller cakes of ice. When it became
necessary for him to slop upon one of
these, liis weight was su f.cient to make
il tilt, and bin footing was very inse
cure. After awhile us he was nearing
the island, ho i arne into a large collec
tion of theso smaller ico-cakes. l’or
awhile he waited, hoping that a larger
field would drift near hiri; but after a
minute’s delay lie saw that he was rap
idly fioating past the island, and that
he must either trust himself to the
treacherous broken ice, or fail in his at
tempt to save the woman and child.
Choosing the best of the Hoes, ho laid
his plank and passed across successful
ly. In the next passage, however, tho
cake tilted up, and Joo Lambert went
down into the water! A shudder passed
through the crowd on shore.
“Poor fellow!” exclaimed some ten
der-hearted spectator; “it is all oxer
with him now.”
“No; look, look! ’ shouted another.
“He’s trying to climb upon the ice.
Hurrah! lie’s on his lcet again! ’ W itn
that the whole company of spectators
shouted for joy. .
Joe had managed to regain lus plank
as well as to climb upon a cake of ice
before tho fields around could crush
him, and now moving cautiously, ho
made his way little by little toward tho
island.
“Hurrah! Hurrah! he s there at
last!” shouted the people on the shore.
“But will ho get hack again?” was
the question each one asked himself a
moment later.
Having reach&l tho island, Joe very
well knew that the more difficult part
of his task was still before him, for it
was one tiling for an active boy to work
his way over lioating ice, and quite an
other to carry a child and lead a woman
upon a similar journey.
But Joe Lambert was quick-witted
and “long-headed,” as well as bravo,
and be meant to do all that he could to
save those poor creatures tor whom lie
had risked his life so heroically, 'fak
ing out his knifo he made the woman
cut her skirls o!f at the kneas, so that
she might walk and loop more freely.
Then placing tho baby in tho baskot
which was strapped upon Ids hack, ho
cautioned the woman ug dust gii ing way
to fright, and instructed her carefully
about the method of crossing.
On the return journey Joo was ublo
to avoid ono great risk. As it was not
necessary to land at any part cular
point, time was of little consequence,
nnd lienco whon no largo field of ice
was at hand, ho could wait for one to
approach without attempting to make
uso of the smaller ones. Loading the
woman wherever that was necessary, ho
slowly made bis way toward shore,
drifting down the river, of course, while
all tho people of the town marched along
the bank.
When at last Joo leaped ashore in
company with tho woman, and bearing
her babe in the basket on his buck, tho
people scorned ready to trample upon
each other In their eagerness to shako
hands with their hero.
Their hero was barely able to aland,
hmvover. Drenched as lie had been in
the icy water, the sharp March wind
had chilled him to to tho marrow, and
ono of the village doctors speedily lilted
him into his carriage, which ho had
brought for Hint purpose, and drove
rapidly away, while the other physician
took charge of Mrs. Martin and tho
baby.
Joo was a strong, healthy fellow, an I
under the doctors treatment of hot
brandy and vigorous rubbing with
coarse towels, 1m soon warmed. Then
he wanted to saw enough wood for the
doctor to pay for his treatment, nnd
thereupon the doctor threatened to
poison h m if lie should over venture to
mention nay to hint again.
Naturally enough tho village people
talked of nothing but Joo Lambert’s
licrnio deed, and tho feeling was gen
eral that they had novcr done tlioir
duty toward the poor orphan bov.
There was an eager wish to I elp
him now, and many offers were made
to him; but theso all took the form of
charity, and Joo would not accept
charily at all. Four years earlier, as 1
have already said, he had refused to go
to tho poor-house or to he “bound out, ’
declaring that ho could take care of
himself "mid when some thoughtless
person hud said in his hearing (lint ho
would have to livo on charity, Joe's re
ply had been:
• ■I’ll never eat a mouthful in this
town that 1 haven't worked for if 1
starve.” And he h.fld kept his word.
Now that lie was flftoon yearn old ho
was not willing to begin to* rocoivo
charity, even in tho form of a reward
for liin good deed.
Ono day when some of tho most
prominent men of the village were talk
ing to him on the subject Joe said:
“I don’t want anything except a
clinneo to work, but I'll toll you what
vou may do for mo if you will. Now
that poor Martin is dead tho ferry privi
lege will lio to lonso again, and I'd likn
to get it for a good long term. May ho 1
can make something out of it by being
alwnvs roadv to row people across, and
1 may even be aide to put on something
bettor than a skill'after awhile. I’ll pay
the village what Martin paid.”
Tho gentlemen woro glad enough of a
chance fo do Joo even this small favor, j
and there, was no difficulty in Ihe way. |
The authorities gladly granted Joe u |
lease of tho ferry privilege for twenty
years, at twenty dollars a year rent,
which was tho rate Marlin had paid.
At first Joe rowed people back and
forth, saving what money ho got. very
carefully. 'Ihiswasall that could bo
required of him, but il occurred to .loo
that if ho had a ferry-boat big enough,
a good many horses and rattle and a
good deal of freight would bo sent
across the river, lor he was a “long
headed” fellow, as I have said.
One day a chance, offered, and ho
bought for twenty-live dollars a largo
old "woo I boat, which was simply a
square Imrgo to ty leet long and fifteen
feet wide, with leveled bow and ste n,
made to hold cordwood for tlics steam
boats. With his own hands ho laid u
stout dock on this, and, with tho as ist-
mce of a man whom he hired for that
purpose, he constructed a pair of pad-
Ue-wheels. By that time .Joe was out
of money, and work on tho boat wa-
suspended for a while. When he had
accumulated a little more money, ho
bought a horse-power, anil placed
it fit tho middle of his boU,
connecting it with tho sliFift ot Jns
wheels. 'Then l;o >ui(lc a rudder and
liehn, and his horse-boat was ready for
use. It hud cost him a hundred dollars
besides his own labor upon it, but it
would carry live slock and freight as
well as passengers, and so tho business
of the ferry rapidly increased, and Joe
began to put a little money away in tho
bank. ......
After awhile a railroad was built into
ihe village, and then a second ono
came. A year later another railroad
was open on tho other side of tho river,
and all the passengers who came to one
village by railroad had to be ferried
across the river in order to continue their
journey by the railroads there. Tho
horse-boat was too small and too slow
for the business, and Joe Lambert had
to buy two steam ferry boats to take its
place. These cost more money than he
had, but, as the owner of 1ho ferry
privilege, his credit was good, and ’lie
boats soon paid for themselves, while
Joe’s bank account grew again.
Finally the railroad people determined
to run through cars for passengers
and freight, and to carry them across
the river on largo boats built for that
purpose; but before they gave their or
ders to their boat builders, they were
waited upon by the attorneys of Joo
Lambert, who soon convinced them
that his ferry privileges'gave him atone
the right to run any kind of ferry-boats
between the villages which had now
grown to such size that, they called
themselves cities. The result was that
the railroads made a contract with Joe
to carry their ears across, and he had
some largo boats built for that purpose.
All litis occurred a good many years
ago, nud Joo 1 a i bort is not called Joo
now, but Captain Lambert. Ho is one
ot the most prosperous men in the lit
tle river city, and owns many large riv
er steamers besides his ferry-boats.
Nobody Is readier than he to licit) a
poor ! o.V or a poor man; hut lie lias his
own way of doing it. Ho will novor
loss so much as # n cent to a beggar, but
lie never ref uses to irive man or bov a
chance to earn money by work. Ho
has un odd theory that money which
coin 's without work does more harm
than good.—Uco. Cary Eggleston, in

A Strange Rare.
Tn her work, "Unbeaten Tracks in
Jnpa'i,* Miss Isabella L. Bird gives some
graphic pictures of the Ainos, or alxiri-
l i • o ttio 'aland of Yezo, Japan. “Af-
t r Ihe yellow slim, the stiff’ horse-hair,
tho fee Ido eyelids, the elongated eyes,
the (doping eyebrows, tho flat iiohcs, tho
sunken cheeks, the Mongolian features,
the puny physique, tho shaky walk of
tho men, tlio restricted totter of tho
women, and the general impression ol
degeneracy conveyed by the appearance
of tii • Japanese, the Amos,” slio says,
“nuil d a very singular impression.
“All but two or three that I have seen
are the most ferocious-looking of savages,
with a physique vigorous enough for car
rying out the most ferocious intentions,
lint us soon as they speak tho counte
nance brightens into a smile as gentle u
that of a woman, something which can
never he forgotten. Tho men are about
tho middle height, broad-chested, broad-
shouldered, ‘thick-set,’ very strongly
built, the arniH and legs short, thick,
and muscular, the hands and foot large.
Tho In alios, and especially the limbs, of
many aro covered with short, bristly
hair. 1 have seen two boyR whoso backs
nro covered with fur as lino and soft as
that of a cat. The heads anil faces aro
very striking.
“The foreheads are very high, broad,
and prominent, and at first sight givo
one the impression of an unusual capac
ity for intellectual development; tho ear*
nro small and set low; tho nosea nro
straight but short, and broad at the nos
trils; tho mouths uro wide but well
formed, and tho lips rarely hIiow a ten-
donoy to fullness. Tho neck is short,
tho cranium rounded, tho cheek lione#
low, and the lower part of tho face is
small as compared with tho upper, the
peculiarity called a jowl being unknown.
Tlio eyebrows aro full, and form a straight
linn nearly across tho face. The eyes
are large, tolerably deeply sets and very
beautiful, the color a rich liquid brown,
the expression singularly soft, and tho
eyelashes long, silky, and abundant.
* “Tho skin has tlio Italian olive tint,
but in most cases is thin and light
enough to show tho changes of color in
tlio check. Tho teeth are small, regular,
and very white; tho incisors and “eye
teeth” aro not disproportionately largo,
ns is usually tho case among tho Japa
nese; there is no tendency toward pros-
nnthism, and tho fold of integument
which conceal tho upper eyelids of the
Japanese iz never to bo met with. Ths
features, expression, and aspect aro
European rather than Asiatic.
“Tlio ‘ferocious savagery’ of the np-
pearanoe of the men iu produced by a
profusion of thick, soft, black hnir, di
vided in tho middle, and falling in lieavy
masses nearly to tho shoulders. Out of
doors it is kept, from falling over the face
by a fillet round tho brow. Tho boards
aro equally profuse, quite magnificent,
and generally wavy, and in the caso of
the old men they give a truly patriarchal
and venerable aspect, in spite of tho
yellow tinge produced by smoke and want
of cleanliness. Tho savage look pro-
duced by tlio masses of hair and heard

“I have measured tho height of thirty
of tlio adult men of this village, and it
ranges from five feet four inches to five
feet, six and a half. Tlio circumference
of tho head averages 22.1 inches, and
the are, from ear to ear, 13 inches. Tho
average weight of tho Aino adult mascu
line brain, ascertained by measurement
of Bino skulls, is 45.90 ounces avoir
dupois, a brain weight said to excel that
of all the races, Hindoo and Mussulman,
on the Indian plains, and that of tho
aboriginal races of India and Ceylon,
and is only paralleled by that of tho
races of the Himalayas, the Siamese, and
th* Chinoa* Burmese.”
—The recent mobbing of “General”
Booth, of the English Salvation Army,
at Hereford, recalls a good story of a
stalwart Kentucky preacher in the days

ing a revival service, when he was an
noyed by the indecent conduct of a
couple of rowdieB. Ho went up to them
and rebuked them, when one replied:
“We heard that you work miracles, and
are come to see if it is true.” “No, sir,”
said the preacher, taking off his ooat,
“but wo cast out devils,” and he forth
with cast them out.

and more common, and is the result of
the overwork and worry of the struggle
for existence at the present day.
