A PLEASANT STORY.
Twns in ye plpiumnt olden time;
Oh, ninny years ago,
Wlion husking I ons ami sinning sellouts
Wero all tho bin, you know.
Tho Hinging hcIkmiI in Tarrytown—
A quaint old town in Mainn—
Was wisely taught ami grandly led
By a young man named Paine,
A gallant gentleman was Paine,
Who liked Iho lasaea well;
Hut tout he liked MIhb Pationro White,
As all Ids school could tell.
One night tlio singing school had met;
Young Paine, all carelessly,
Had turned the leaves and said, “Well sing
On page one-seventy."
“See gentle patience smiles on paiu."
On Paine they all then smiled,
lint not so gently hk they might;
Amt lie, confused and wild,
Rcarchcd quickly for anothor piece,
As quickly gave it out;
The merriment, suppressed ho fore,
lloso now into a shout.
These wero the words llmt met his eyes
(II© sank down with a groan),
“Oh, give me grief for other's woes,
And patience for my own 1”

SURF-STATION NO. 9.
BY REV. EDWARD A. RAND.
There wero two persons sitting on the
doorstep of a station of the life-saving j
service. One was Will Plympton and
tho other liked to write down his name
and calling as "Bam Walkor, Burfman,
Station 9.” They wore looking across |
the white, chilly sands to the sea, that
under tlio tearing, exasperating strokes 1
of tho wind hourly grew more and inoro
violent, Tlio clouds hod a scowling look.
It was not a disturbed sky simply,
angry boro and there, but everywhere
its face was one of Bcttled, ugly, moroso-
ness.
"Mischief browin',” said Sam.
"Yes; the wind has been busy at some
thing for tho past twenty-four hours,”
replied Will.
"How wliito and ugly that surf is!
Looks to mo os if it wss all full of
sharks’ teeth, white and hard,”
“Somebody will feel them when tho
storm breaks—at any rate, before it is
over."
"Yes; I s’poso the vessel is on the
water that Iuib boon quietly movin' on to
meet it* doom iu this storm, and didn’t
know it more than you and I know tho
future.”
All this timo sea and sky bad been
growing blacker.
Keeper Jool Barnoy, tlio official head
of the crow at Station 9, stepped out of
the station, nnd tho conversation was j
interrupted. When Sam aud Will wero
alone again, Sam said;
"That sea and mo feel alike, I guess.”
"Why?”
"Oh, I am not at all easy.”
noro Sam’s face seemed to darken like
tho sky.
"What are you thinking of?”
"I’m thinkin’ of somebody that
wronged mo once. That was iu old
England. We woro both boatmen and
thero was *n extra chance at work we
both wanted, and Payne Chesloy set on
foot some stories that lost me my old
place and kept mo ont of a better one.
Lios! lies 1” said Sam, vehemently—
"all of them.”
"Well, didn’t people see that?”
"Yes, but too late to help nio. If it
had been the truth, it couldn’t for tho
timo have hurt me more.”
“What’s false will wash off liko mud.
It’s only what is true that sticks iu and
stays and hurts.”
But Sam was not disposed to dwell
on this side of the subject. He arose,
I strgcjp grumbling, and sat down in
■ tlie.etftjrrn) doAtfjray.
“What makes, mo think of Payno
Chenier j Y don’t know. I feel ugly as
tligi icA lftbks, and I don’t know but I
could put Payne Ohesley under the
water if I had him, Seems to me ’twould
be just sweot to do that. But that isn’t
the thing for an old chap like mo,” ho
said, meditatively. "We’ve got to swal-
ler those feelin’s.”
Still blacker grew sea and sky.
A very savory odor of old Java, fried
potatoes aud biscuit now came from tbe
station kitchen, aud tho crew gathered
for supper.
"Storm broke,” said Keeper Barney,
amid the rattling dishes; "I see the
rain on the window near me.”
Just then Silas Peaslee came In from
the beach and his dripping "sou’wester”
told the story of the arrival of the rain.
"A bad night,” said Silas, "if a vessel
gets on Howlin’ Pint.”
But no vessel was so foolish as to do
(hat fatal thing.
Tho men on duty patrolled tho beach
as the regulations require. Four times
between sunset and sunrise they tramped
from two to four miles each side of the
station. Each patrolman carried his
Costou signals, which could lie lighted
at once, burning witli a r»«l flame and
wanting off any vessel that might be
discovered sailing too near tho shore, or
announcing to any wrecked vessel that
help was near, But though keen eye*
watched and quick enrs listened, there
was no sign of vessels iu danger or dis
tress. There was only that near nnd in
cessant thunder in the dnrknens, that
awful ronr of nn invisible anger which
manifested itself in nn oecasioual throw
of cold surf about the feet of the patrol
men venturing too near tho edge of the
sea.
The morning lighted up a oonfusod
mass of wliito, struggling billows under
black, heavy massos of storm cloud that
swept the sen with pitiless discharges of
rnin. Tho men at the station woro at
breakfast^ when Arnold Rankin snslied
in shouting:
"There's a wreck off hero I”
"Boom—m—m I” enmo the report of
a gun from the sea.
"That's Arnold’s vouoher,” orient
Keeper Barney, springing from Ills seat
mid upsetting tho ohnir in his oageruess.
"Our surfboat cannot live in that sea.
Open tho boat room doors. Man tho
beach wagon, boys."
Out upon the sands tlio cart was quiok- Tho H eoret«ry o, the Treasury has is-
ly rushed and a wreck guu and other*] BUed ft call for ,)<),000.000 of the throe
apparatus taken from it. Tho gun wns
placed in position, and a shot carrying
with it a light, strong lino sent over tho
wreck.
"They’vo got it I” said Sam Walker,
looking toward the vessel, nround which
ear to tho steamer,
"I hope the ropes will hold,” mut
tered the keeper, looking off in the faoo
of the driving storm.
"Hurrah! He’s tlioro I” shouted tlio
men.
Tlicro was a season of anxious wait-
toff.
"Haul ashore 1” shouted tlio keeper.
'•Kev—r—ful, boys I”
The oar was near tlio beach, when
suddenly the ropes gavo way and over iu
the *urf helplessly rolled the oar,
“Form a line, boya. Look close and
wade out as far ns you can," shouted tho
keeper.
And, so, reaching out into that hungry,
grasping son, they snatched from it the
food that tho "sharks’ tooth” in the Hiirf
had almost won.
"Hurrah for Hum Walker 1” was tho
bidding of Keeper Burney to bis men.
But Ham Walker did not need tlio
plenstiro afforded by that ovation. lie
Mado this confession to Will Plympton.
"I thought it would t>o sweet to put
Payne Ohesley under the water, but I
tell you, Will, it was a good deal sweeter
to pull him out-”

1 ‘Take two half hitches with tho shot
line round that whip,” shouted the
keeper, soon signaling to tho wreck tc
haul on board.
The "whip” wo* a larger lino doubled
through a single pulley-block, and it was
patiently hauled ou board, followed by a
hawser. These two lines were made fast,
the hawser being secured above the
"whip” or endless line.
"Send the life-car, boys,” said Keeper
Barney. "Quick 1”
Every moment thd storm seemed to
be gathering more foroe, as if to
resist the brave men in their j
work of resone. More heavily i
rolled tho waves upon the slioro;
the wind charged up and down the beach,
and ronghly the rain splashed tho faces
of tho surfmen. And yet how the orow
worked, springing from duty to duty and

made iu the three per coins. On Juno
30, 1883, tlioro wero outstanding about
132,000,000 of tlio throe and ono-lialf
per cents and $318,204,850 of tho three
pc? cents. Tho former have nil boon
called in, and on May 1 thero were
$254,621,950 of the three per cents out-
bonding and subject to call. A part of
this amount, about $20,000,000, is in
cluded in tho last bond calls issued, so
that it is very probable that at the end
of the current fiscal year there will not
bo outstanding much more than
>*S&,000,000.
As the excess of income over expendi
ture for 1888-4 applicable to dobt reduc
tion is ostimuted to bo $105,000,000,
and, if anything, will bo larger in about
two years, unless conditions are
ohangod, all of tlio throe per cent bonds
’ will liavo been cancelled. If there 1h a
revival of industry tho procoss of can
celling bonds will bo more rapid, na the
national revenues nre quiok to reflect
changes in the commercial condition,
though not in tho financial nnd indus
trial condition of tho oonntry. At all
events, unless some mnrkcd reduction
in the national inoomo is made, in abont
I two years the government will liavo paid
Am-knUnf off all that part of its debt that is under
its control. It must then wait until
1891, when tho fonr and a half percents
become duo, or go into tho market and
purchase its bonds ut whatever premium
the holders oliooso to ask. —N. Y.

and safely across that turbulent sweep
of surf came tho life-oar. Tlio hatch
was removed, aud four men sprang npor
the beach.
"Haul out I” was tho keeper’s ready
command, and back to tho wreck went
t he car,
"It s n Rtenmcr, the men say,’ was
Arnold Rankin’s announcement to bin
mates. "She’s in a bad fix nnd will
break up nforo night, they think.”
Again and again wont the life-oar on
its journey of mercy to the wrock. At
last arrivod those who said:
"Nobody else on board.”
"Look hero 1” exclaimed one of tho
steamer’s crow, coming from tho station,
whero tho rescued men hod found
shelter; "there was one sick man. Has
he come ? He is not at tlio station. ”
The koeper looked around upon his
little circle of helpers,

Ben. Forloy Poore in his reminiscence*
says:
James Gordon Bonnott in 1828, when
in his thirtieth year, lieeamo tho Wash
ington correspondent of tho New York
Enquirer, which wns then ou the top
most round of tho journalistic ladder.
It is related of him that during his stay
in This position ho came across a copy of
"Walpole’s Letters," and resolved to try
the effect of a few letters in n similar
strain. Tho truth of this is doubtful, it
is more probable that the natural talents
of the man were now unfettered, and ho
aboard. Are you sure, though, he did j wrote without fear of censorship, and
nor come ?” he asked, suddeuly turning with all tho ease which a sense of free
to his informant.
"Suro as I ora hero, Payno Ohesley
is not at the station, and he is not on
the beach.”
"Payno Ohesley 1”
Will Plympton heard the name, and
instantly looked at Sam’s face. Ho saw
Sam’s startled, intent gaze, and thon
Sam said to the keeper:
"Somebody must go and get him.
I’ll voluuteer.”
"I’ll go I I’ll go I” said several.
"Your ropes out there are weak," said
one of the steamer’s crew; "there has
been so mnoh strain on ’em. One will
be enough to go in that car; send your
strongest man. No easy thing bringing
a sick man to it. Whew ! If he ain’t
up I And be signals, too ! I’d go if I
wasn’t bruised so.”
Upon that wreck the sharper eyes ot
tho company could make out the form
of a man waving something—waving a
plea for life on the edge of that horrible
ghastly ocean-pit of water.
"I’m the strongest,” said Sam Walker,
proudly, and in proof he raised his
heavy, muscular arm.
Everybody knew it was as Sam as
serted. Into the car he went nnd tho
hatch was closed after him. Keenly
every eye watched the passage of the
dom inspires. He was naturally witty,
sarcastio aud sensible. These letters,
however originated, were undoubtedly n
great hit. They were lively, they
abounded in personal allusions and they
described freely not only Senators, but
the wives and daughters of Senators.
This sort of thing was a novelty then ;
the descriptions of toilets, the cravats of
the President and the hunting saddle of
his niece tickled not only the fools, but
also wiser people, who liked tho sensa
tion. These samo letters established
Mr. Bennett’s reputation as a light lanoo
among the hosts of writers, and ho found
a ready sale for the poetry and tho love
stories which flowed from his pen dur
ing his leisuro hours.
‘‘Do tod believe that a woman nowa
days would die for the object of her
love?” asked a bachelor lriend. “I
don’t know whether she’d die or not,
answered tho Benedict, "but I ve known
her to go wild when the trimming didn’t
suit her.”—Newport News.
"Now,” said a boy to a companion,
as they were playing, "1(11 sit here aud
you come up and say yon’vo got a bill
you want me to pay." "Oh, yes 1 you
want to tell me to get out. You be the
one wlmt comes with the bill.”
