Life does not count by years—
’Tis circumstance that makes the solid sum

And hopes and fears, unbidden come,
Jo some, a day seems blit a fleeting hour—
Where pleasure waits there is no call for
tears.
To others, writhing 'neath affliction's power,
A single day is lengthened into years.
Life does not count by years—
The polished brow its youthful look may

Een while the heart, stung by the cold
world’s sneers,
Lies in the tortured bosom sore and old.

JOHN LONG'S SAcIiFIGE
BT WILLIAM BAYARD HALE.
ti had been :t bitter summer for .John
Long At least, if ought to have been.
It wits a miserable carter, indeed, that he
regarded, if he cast his eye backward
over his life. After he had thrown away
several years and considerable money at
college, am! bad wasted some months in
a business office, he had employed him
self as a campaign speaker in a far off
State— first od one side, but finally tin
the Other:
After the election, wheu lie had used
ell the money he had made arid all hfc
eo ild borrow at home, he liai tramped
to Cincinnati; for miles arid borrowed a
hundred dollars of his uncle. Then,
with a harum-scarum chum, he projected
a magazine: The prospectus was bril
liant; after the first number the editors
left the city, Johu going home and the
chum into sanctuary to develop some new
scheme.
The new scheme was developed. It
took the shape of a sekccl for boys—the
Kentucky Classical College; it was to be
called. The chum aforesaid furnished
the capital this time. John procuied the
degrees of B. A. and Ph. D., they got
out a glowing catalogue, and the Ken
tucky Classical College opened with fine
prospects on September 17th. By Octo
ber I, two boys had come, They were
graduated with honors bn the 3d, and
the faculty got home as best it ciould.
So John had been home all slimmer.
To be sure, he had not been idle. lie
had laid but a trip through Europe,
which he proposed to tramp after the
fashion of Bayard Taylor; writing letters
to defray expenses.
He had corresponded with all the lead
ing journals, but somehow had riot suc
ceeded in impressing any sufficiently to
get an advance upon which to start.
Then, too, he had opened the Great
AVcstern Literary Bureau, which institu
tion read, criticized and touched up man
uscripts for would-be authors; and did
other such literary work. This was what
the prospectus announced; however, it
was never called upon to do any work.
It was becoming a very apparent thing
that John Long was “no account.’’ And
he knew it well enough; none realized
more than he that he was visionary, im
practicable and lazy; he laughed at his
own schemes, and had no faith in their
success, yet he vowed he would starve
before he would work like other men.
If ever he had a serious moment he must
have dispised himself; yet I do not know
that he did.
He seemed to pique himself on his
lack of what we call common sense; he
avowed himself brother to fools; he used
to say that, like Lamb, his sympathies
were with the foolish virgins and the
man who built his house upon the sand.
I have known him to spend his last dol
lar for a theatre seat, or for a dinner at
an uptown hotel, when he knew he would
have no supper and no bed at night.
If John Long had had the genius of
Poe or Goldsmith you might admire him.
We expect improvidence as to common
thiugs in men of genius. But John was
only a commonplace fellow: never did a
brilliant thing that I know of. He
might have made a successful man, as
men go; he was, perhaps, as bright as
the average; but at a certain point in bis
file he failed to be impressed with the
practicalness of living, and went off into
idling and dreaming.
Now, there was Arthur Brooks. The
two boys had a fair start in life; I be
lieve John was the more clever; but
Arthur always got on best. John was a
disappointment, even when he was a boy,
and it was so through all his life. He
lacked the element of success.
•loan and Arthur were great friends:
they grew out of boyhood together, and
were loyal to each other as young men—
yes, even alter they became rivals for the
affections of Lucy Harris. What on earth
had become of what little wit John Long
had when he thought of entangling ft
woman in his own miserable existence I
do not know. But Lucy undoubtedly
liked him. You do not care to know
how great friends they became; how, of
all living beings, John poured out his
heart to her, and how tender and good
she was to him. You might like
to know that she was beautiful, with n
bewitching face and true eyes, and all
that could be asked for in a lovely 'girl.
Ah, they were good friends, John and
Lucy, and they talked of those things
that burdened most heavily their foolish
young hearts; the mystery of that life
into which they had been flung and that
frightened them when fiftt- they were
awakened to it, the awfulne3S of life and
of the sceptre of life. And so John
grew to love the sweet girl with all his
heart. It is little enough good that can
be said of John Long, but his life was
the better that he carried through it al
ways a pure love for Lucy.
He never told her of it. It is not to
be doubted that he would have been fool
ish enough to have done so: but one
evening, when he was home the last time,
she told him as she would have told her
brother of her betrothal to Arthur
Brooks. It was not till she was through
that the realization of what it was to John
flashed upon her. And John told her he
ts ould go awav,
John left tot wry nig'ut, It maj 1#
that after that he would have liked to
have made a man of himself, but his oU
habits were upon him. He wandered
about the South for a few months, per
suading himself that he was studving the
race question, and that presently he would
write a series of nlagarins articles that
would startle the country. Finally hr
brought up at Atlanta with his money
gone. Of course, he had to look for
work then, and, with unusual good luck,
he managed to get a position on one of
the morning papers.
It would have been strange if he had
held it longer than four months, and lie
did not. It was early one morning in
October,after his own work was up,that,
as he sat at the telegraph editor’s desk,
his eyes were caught by a special which
had jtlst Crime id; It was the story of
the murder of William Harris, the father
i)f Lucy. lie had beeil foririd dead and
by poison. A dispute; a peculiar will,
arid other circumstances indicating mo
tjve> pointed t<! the riftwly Married hris
band ot Lticy Harris as the mtfrdSrfer:
Arthur Brooks had been arrested and
was now in the county jail. The dis
patch spoke of smothered talk of lynch
ing! and said the jail was an old one and
not strong. John Loiig easily pictured
the violence with which the old love f’dr
Brooks would turn into an overwhelming
wave of wrath: he knew there would be
no stopping to weigh the evidence.
John Long walked out into the early
| morning air He drank in the charm of
I life; The shaddws My icing, arid there
1 "'ari a thrill and a joy In every 1 breath
How hard for Brooks, with the blriod o’f
youth in liis veins, to yield his life; How
could Lucy live without Him? Never bc
| fore had John so felt the pride of life as
| he did now that it seemed that his rival
! was about to lose his. The earth was
| never so bright, the earth was never so
' fair: If you will look in flic Atlanta
,— — of tint day von will find this from
his pen •
“The china trees are liarigiug orit their
banners, yellow, golden, glorioris, bright
signals of the changing season. The
hickory and the maple are blushing a
little and the dogwood has lighted his
torch in the still embers of dying sum
mer. The persimmon is taking on a
color that fills the eyes of old Brer ’Pos
sum. The honeysuckle blossoms again
around the porch, there is no touch ol
change in the wisteria vine, and the au
tiiniu flowers in the garden borders are
gray; The change lacks the melancholy
aspect of the North—the saddened skies,
the haze-hidden hills that seem to stretch
into some far country; where lies the
longed-for carcassome. The birds have
for the most part broke up housekeeping,
and are frolicking with their families in
the woods. In the summer’s interlude
the mocking bird is renewing its melo
dious utterances; and there is an added
sweetness in its note. AuU the change
will go on, growing richer and more
wanton in coloring, till the cold hand of
winter tears down the whole royal pano
rama.”
It was no little thing that the man
that could appreciate life thus should
give it up,
Noon found him on the north bound
train ; by the next noon he was in Cin
cinnati; and by night home. The village
was quiet; he went to his old room and
went to bed. During the night a train
went thundering through the valley; he
heard the whistle and the roar of the
fires when the furnace door was opened,
he heard it cross the bridge and go down
between the hills till the sound faded in
to an echo, and then died. And, as in
years before, his fancy followed it
through the night, out of the valley, in
to day and the warm and cheerful world.
The morning came, the light crept
| through the little panes as it had done
I before. John Long had been thinking
l as he rolled homeward on the train; he
1 had laid another scheme, and he felt
sure this one would not fail. And the
last twenty years had passed from his
mind, and he was living again his old
j innocent childhood. He walked out
through the village and stopped at the
house on the hill, where he had come to
live with his aunt when his father in the
city died ; he looked from its veranda far
down the dusty pike, and remembered
how, his first spring there, the waters of
the river rose and covered it as far as the
eye could reach. He stood long and
watched the shadows chase each other
across the hills on the other side of the
valley, as he used to do, long summer
days.
There was no mistaking the temper of
the people with regard to the murder of
William Harris. With the night shadows
fell a hush on the town. Mothers gath
ered their children into the house, and
closed fast the doors. Meu might have
been seen straggling down the east pike,,
on horse and afoot. They stopped ou
the tirst bridge out, and at midnight,
from out the shadows of its ancient raft
ers, a troop of silent men marched forth.
Straight to the jail they went; they never
asked for the keys, no one wanted them.
A stout stick on the shoulders of a dozen
men broke down the doors at a few
blows. They knew- the cell; it had but
frail bars, and they were soon down. In,
thirty minutes after the lynchers left
their rendezvous Arthur Brooks was in
their hands.
The preparations were simple. A short'
rope hung from the sign of the Hamblej
house, and underneath it was a store box.),
Upon this Brooks was hoisted. (
“Shall he die?” said the man who held
the rope. These were the first words j
spoken. 1
“Let him die!” answered a hundred
voices in a terrible bass. And a thrill of
horrid interest ran through them as they
waited for the Anal moment.
But a third figure was upoß the box. It
was that of John Long. He took the
noose from off Brook’s neck and placed
it about his own. He said not a word
but stood with folded arms and head
thrown back. And one of them told me
that, standing so in the moonlight, some*
thing of his old boyish beauty came into
his face and made him look like the noble
man he might have made.
The mob was at a loss.
“Are you guilty instead of Brooks?’’
they shouted.
‘•Brooks is iscoceat," MA long,
“Did yob kill Harris?”
“Brooks is innocent.”
“Never mind him,” they shouted fheri.
“Up with Brooks! String him up!”
“Gentlemen,” said John Long, “I am
guilty, and not Bfo'oks I meant th<
poison for Lucy, and her father got it.’
God forgive him the lie 1 In the in
stant tli3t followed perhaps he wondered
!f the truth would Cfer be known, and
whether Lucy’s children would (Vcr play
above his grave, and whether she would
teach them the meaning of the words:
■Grr'afer lote hath no man than this,
that he lay dowti hit life for his friend,”
Perhaps,dying so in dishonor ffiul shame,-
the merciful Father permitted him’ ft)
know- that it would be so. Perhaps he
never heard the yell with which they
pushed the box out from under him.
They stood still then and let him hang.
Presently one of them noticed that his
hand wris quite cold;

It was a week after that night when
Arthur Brooks had gone home in jdy to
his bride arid John Long had waited out
in the night that thfy friund the note
William Harris had left, betraying the
fact that a disordered brain had led him
to suicide.

Funeral of a Chinese Grandee.
We have had a unique spectacle in the
funeral of Yung Chee Yang, the high
grand nobio secretary of the Sung Gee
Tong, tile Chinese Masonic lodge of this
city, Writes the New York edirespondent
of the New OrlerinS Picayune. The body
lay in state in tfn inipro’viscd fCmple at
the rear of an undertaker’s sho’p in llott
street, and thousands of Chinamen cami
to take their last look at it. The hand
some casket was covered with black
broadcloth. Brads candelabra at the
hcrid and fddt held frill lighted candles.
There was a table bouritifdliy supplied
with all mariner df Chinese delicacies,
arid a sacrificial altar, rit. the base Of
whicn were trie carcass of a goat, three
raw pigs, three roasted pigs and a pot df
tea; The deceased was laid o’ut in ri
blue silk blouse, navy blue tro'usert and
blue sandals. He had a black silk travel
ing cap on his head and a fan lay on his'
breast. To describe the obsequies in
detail would require much time and
space. One man stood beside the casket
to keep away evil spirits. His face was
made hideous with black and white
paint; The priests and functionaries
were most gorgeously Attired, The Yuet
Sings, each commanding a thousand men,
had plumed helmets of solid gold, and
carried short swords. They were each
followed by bearers of shield, spear, and
trident. Mourners prostrated them
selves with loud cries, The music was
agonizingly indescribable; The high
priest dipped a piece of paper in the blood
of the goat and burned it. Joss sticks
were burning on every hand, and prayer
papers were everywhere. Libations of
wine were freely poured out, and the
floor was strewn with cooked rice. Tom
Lee, the Chinese deputy sheriff, led the
funeral cavalcade, mounted on a white
horse. Eighteen high Masonic officers
followed on horseback. Then came u
tally-ho coach with a band. Then the
hearse, drawn by four black horses, with
the “good spirit of Satan” beside the
driver to keep evil spirits away. Then
other tally-ho coaches with bands; then
seventy-six carriages filled with mourn
ers, and, finally, a long foot procession.
At the grave in Evergreens Cemetery
there were further ceremonies to speed
the spirit of young Chee Yang on its way
to bliss, and food enough was left for a
long journey.
Beside the usual inscription on the cof
fin plate of this Chinaman there was the
“all seeing eye,” the square and com
pass, a Corinthian column with the
words, “we meet upon the- level,” an
lonic column, with the words “and part
upon the square,” and the large “G” of
the Masonic order. Eight thousand Chi
nese masons contributed half a dollai
apiece to pay the expenses of the funeral.
Au Expensive Sentiment.
During one of the fairs in Paris some
years ago Baron James de Rothschild
was a patron. Chancing to pass a stand
where some pretty youug ladies were in
stalled he asked, says the London Tid-
Bils, in a bantering tone
“ Well, my dears, what can Ido for
you?”
“Ah, Baron,” said one, “you can
give us your autograph.”
“■With pleasure,” responded the gal
lant old Baron, “if you will preface it
with an agreeable sentiment.”
So the young lady, without much ado,
wrote on a dainty slip of paper, “I
hereby give to charity ten thou
sand francs,” and the Baron immediately
signed his name in full and smilingly
paid the amount ($2000) to the enter
prising Parisian.

Burneil the Wrong Man.
A thief of Ninghien, near Ningpc
(Province of Chc-King, China) called
Lai-t’ow (scald-head) was robbing a
house recently in the village of Cheng
kiatuau when he was heard by an old
man left in charge of the place, the
owner and his wife being at a party. The
caretaker went up stairs to look, but
found no one, for the intruder had hid
den himself in the rafters of the roof.
The watchman then proceeded to treat
himself to a solitary pipe, and by some
mischance set tire to the house. The
building burned while the old man slept
on, and the thief came down again to
finish his work, but was alarmed at see
ing the flames, and was making the best
of his waj r off, when he was ca.ight by
the villagers. Unfortunately for him,
the fire spread until seventeen hu. 1 ,-; were
burned down. The lynch law practiced
in Chinese villages is very severe upon
incendiaries, and in the minds of the vil
lagers there seemed no doubt th.it in
Lai-t’ow they had caught one red-handed.
His appeals for justice or mercy met with
no response; they tied him hand and foot
with straw- ropes, poured lamp oil on the
poor wretch, and hurled him into the
burning mass, where death after some
minutes put au end to his terrible suffer
ings.—London Telegraph.
