APRIL VESPERS.
The turtles drum in the pulseless hoy,
The crickets ciesk in the pricklnl hedge,
The bullfrogs Uoomr in the puddling sedge.
.And the whoopoe whoops its vesper lay
Away
In iho twilight soft nod gray.
Two lovprs stroll in the glinting glonm—
His hard in her’n nnd her’n in his—
She blushes deep—he's talking b ; z
They hug and bu«s as they listless roam—
Tin y roam
li’s late when they get back home.
Down by the little wicket gate,
Down where the ereepfu! ivy grows,
Down where the sweet nasturtium blows.
A box-toed pnrept lies in wait—
In wait
For the maiden and her mate.
Lot ciickets errnk and bnllfrogs boom,
The whoopee Wails in the dismal dell—
Their tuneful throbs will ne’er dispel
The planted pain and rooted gloom—
The gloom
0f the lover’s dismal doom.

Davy Jones' I.sicker—Origin of
flic Phrase.
Everybody has heord the phrase "Davy
Jones’ locker," but I don’t think everybody
is familiar with its origin. In the grimy re
cesses of the fo’castle it runneth thus :
Once upon a time there whs a captain, and
he was a Tartar, if ever there waa a nautical
Tartar. He thought no more of tricing op
a poor devil of a lar and giving him a couple
ot dozen than he did of knocking a man
down because the wind was ahead, or his
rorns bothered him, or any other good cause
His mates were of the same kidney with
himself, and made it pretty warm for the
crew, or such of them as the captain had not
left horn dc combat. Well the ship—she was
a whaler—came info port short-handed, half
of the crew having deserted at Madeira, and
three of them having died, whom the captain
also entered in the log as deserters, for that
gave him the right to coiia; their wuges and
“kits ” Then he shipped a new rrrw, mostly
‘ Dagos,” and such trash, for no white man
would go with him, exeept one, a Welshman
called Davy Jones, who didn’t see anv other
way of getting home to Europe. The ship
was bound for Catdiff', where the enptnin
was to get a good charter for the East Indies
and, being chiel owner in the vessel, he d dn’t
want to miss it; but, as it happened, the
winds were against him and he was three
weeks out before he had passed the banks of
Newfoundland, and that put him in a
piecion« rage. He took it out of the crew
all he rould, but licking a Dago was tame
fun 10 him, and he wantid to relrcsh himself
with a taste of while blood, while as it hap
per.ed, the only candidate of that complexion
on board was Jones, whom he never could
get a fair excuse lor tricing up. Jones was
such a prompt and obrdient sailor that his
captain fairly hated the sight of him. At
last, one day, ns Jones was taking his trick
at the wheel, the captain came up and gave
an order which couldn't be obeyed without
throwing the ship on her Warn ends, mid
Jones mildly explained as much ; whereupon
the captain put him in irons for mutiny.
That got the Welshman’s hot blood up, and
he talked back. So the captain bud him up
and went for his cat. "Strip,” says the cap
tain, nnd “I’ll be, etc., if I do,” says Jones.
Tbeie was a tussle and a tight, and the long
and the short of it was that the captain got
the worst of it, until bis c (fleers came to the
nsene and titd down the mutineer Then
the captain gets up with a very wicked light
in his eyes and 6ays: "Bring out that lub
ber’s luggage,” and they brought Davy’s
box on deck. "Pitch out his gory trap*,”
says the captain, and the sailors emptied
Jones’ traps on the deck. ‘ Sew him up in
a canvass sack ond put him into his gory
chest,” says the captain, and you may he
sure he didn’t have to give the order twice.
Poor Davy Jones was thrust neck and crop
into his own chest. "Throw open that lee
gangway,” says the captain, and it was done.
"Pipe all hands for loneial service,” says he.
and be slams down the cover of the box and
gives it a shove overboard. Jones hadn’t
said a word all the while, except once, when
they were swinging him up, when he says to
the captain, in words which time and the
poetic utmospbere of the fo’castle havecrys
tallizid into an heroic couplet :
“White sens is salt and timbers float,
You’ll never beat me into port."
And, sure enough, they never did ; for no
matter how the wind blew or the sea rose, it
was always heud wind and bed sea for the
captain ; when the gale was at its fiercest
and the seas running mountains high, then
they used to see Davy Jones sitting on the
weather quarter of his locker, to keep it
trimmed, and a holding on to the sheet of his
canvas,which he hud hoisted as a storm-sail,
and riding the waves as free os a dory. And
it is a fact, vouched for by scores of truthful
sailors and confided to countless marines,
that whenever a veasel crosses the Gland
Bunks and the weather is particularly bad,
you con see by the help of a good glass, or
o glass ard a half, an old-lashioned bark
riding in tfe teeth of the gale, with every
sail set, but without an inch of way ; and if
you look a little to windward, and with the
eye of faith, you wjll see what looks like a
ccffin riding free on the billows and never
shipping a sea, though the waves be Ificlv
enough to swamp a Conarder. Then
wiii krow that you have seen Davy Jones
and his locker, and if you be a wise man you
will not wai t to see any more ol hint or it,
for it will be time for you to go below.—

Ameklcan Courage. — Mr. Archer Aoder
son, writing in an Knglish magazine, sug
gests that the obstinacy at American cour
age, the resolution with which the men on
botbsdesiu oor late war “stood killing,”
accounts for tbe indecisive character of bat
tles. We quote fioio the atlicle: ‘The
annals of few countries show a mote obsti
nate resistance or bloodier battles Kun
ersdorf has gCDetully been cited as one of
flic most satguiDury fields of modern times
Eiederieh there lost J 9.000 men, killed and
wounded out of 60.000. At the battle of
Cbickaroauga the Confederates oounted
17,000 meu killed and wounded, out of a
total force of 45 000 ; and many other fields
show losses in almost as high a ratio. To
their honor, be it said, the Americans who
eon/rocted them stood killing about as well.
In this lies an explanation of the indecisive
character td so ior»" ——i ; -. j.
Tl»e Poindexter Case.
It is strange how diffrren ly eivil'zat’on
looks upon the same matter. In Jiipan, for
instance men, women and children bathe
freely together, and with no thought or
'Hugestion of indecency. There is, in the
United States evpn, a wide diflerenee in the
views which wompn of different sections en
tertain in respect to what constitutes an in
sult from a man. It is undeniable that at
the North a degree of contact and famil
iarily is tolerated without a thought of im
propriety, which in the Smith is resented as
an impertinence and insolence Tlip recent
tragedy at Rtehmnnd. Va.. in w+ifeh Chnrtes
0. Curtis was shot dead bv John Poindex
ter. is a ease in point. The murdered man
had complimented Miss Isabella Cottrell,
Poindexter’s sweetheart, on her pretty foot,
and had ns the young lady declared squerz* d
her arm rather too warmly in helping her
into tlie carriage With this us a provoca
tion, Poindexter cowhided Curtis ard then
shot him dead, and the jury could,not ugree
that Poindexter had committed a crime in
taking Curtis’ life.
A New York girl the other day invited
her aunt from Savannah, who was visiting
her, to enter a Broadway shoe store with
her. Arnminta, the niece, much to her aged
relative’s horror, projected her pretty foe? and
ankle across the clerk’s knee, had her old
boots removed and submitted interestedly,
holding her dress conveniently out of the
way, while the clerk began the process ol
encasing the Dir one’s nether extremities in
a new nnd extra long pair of sln “high
buttoners.” 'The Savannah sunt was shocked
beyond expression at her niece’s strange im
modesty in exposing her stockinged foot to
male gaze, and when the shoecletk, bigin
ning at the lower buttons, gradually pro
gressed upward in his work of buttoning,
Georgia modesty ond propriety could no
longer endure the shocking spectacle, and
down came the o|<J girl’s son umbrella on
, the shoe clerk's head with n whack, and her
fingers, tingling with almme, made busy with
his hair. It wns to no purpose that Ara
mintu explained that such occurrences were
the ‘regular thing” in New Yoik. That is
undoubtedly the truth, and the reporter who
has been interviewing New York belles,
apropos of the bloody tragedy at Richmond,
doubtless correctly reports the views which
prevail among women in Gotham. lie
says :
I asked one of the belles of Fifth aveooe
if she allowed a shoe clerk to put ou her
shoes.
“Why, of course I do,” she said, “and lace
them up foo. 'That is what a shoe clerk is
for. Only a silly woinun, with country ideas,
would object to a shoe clerk putting on her
shoes. Every well-bred lady in New York
expects the clerk to luce up n pair of shoeß.”
“But suppose the clerk should remark,
‘you have a pretty foot,’ or, ‘your foot is
small,’ would you be indignant ?”
“Ce,tainly not. I should consider the
rental k the same as if a servant lmd made it.”
“Do you allow u young gentlenmu clerk
to put on a new kid glove?”
“Yes. In Paris the glove clerk always
puts on a new glove for you. While I
would not allow a young gentleman friend
to put on my glove. I consider it highly
proper for a glove clerk to do it ”
"Suppose a gentleman at a party in your
own set should squetzo your band in the
Lancers, what would you do?”
“Now, that k a different thing. If he
were an intimate friend 1 should take it as a
joke. If he were my lover 1 should return
it ; hut if lie were a casual acquaintance,
and 1 thought he squeezed my hand imper
tinently, I would cat him dead. I shouldn't
tell anyone, but the man would suffer u
silent punishment.”
“Would you go back to the same clerk
three times, as did Miss Cottrell, if he said
your foot was pretty?’’
•'Y r es, if 1 had business there If his re
marks offended me, I sliou d tell him to
please make no remark. I shouldn’t buve
gone to my lover with a silly story.”
Just Before Dawn.—“Ah ! neaven does
indeed temper the wind to the shorn lamb,”
pathetically said old Mrs. Diflendorfer the
other evening nl a lea fight, alter putting
awav her twenty-eighth cup of Young
Hyson. “Why, what do yon mean ?” “You
know that yonng widow, Mrs. Biffbn, who
lives across the street from us? Well, she
lias had nothing but sorrow, trouble and
distress for the past five years. First her
father was killed by a burglar; then her
mother marritd a nigger- minstrel; after
that she had the yellow fever and small-pox
together; and next her husband failed, and
she hud to tuke in washing. It was per
(ec'ly dreadful. 'The poor woman nearly
went crazy. She wns just beginning to hear
ap a little ugo : n, when her brother was sent
up to the penitentiary for iife ; and, finally,
last month her husband died in a fit, and the
very next day her bubv choked to death on
a gum-drop.” "Gracious! the poor thing!”
“Wasn’t if just terrible t Everybody be
lieved she’d commit suicide then ; and she
would have done so, too, but last week some
body providentially coaxed her to go to a
church raffle—nnd what do you all suppose
happened?’’ “What, lor heavm’s sake,
what?" “Why, she won a seal-skin sacque !”
"You don’t menn it ?" "She did, though—
perfectly splendid—came within an inch of
the floor, 'l’be darkest hour is just before

A Nkw Version. —When Damon, who
was a red-ribbon man, had the ague, f’yth
ias used to sit up with him all night, and
take his bitters for him And Damon used
to lend Pythias his rezor to cut his corns
with. They borrowed money of each other
and never quarreled about it. They would
play through a long game of croquet and
never fight or call each other “measureless
liars.” For nearly two years they belong*d
to the same cboir and never had a row. They
used to meet at Smith’s grocery and tell
each other funny Ptories about the neighbors
while they browsed out of the cracker bar

snow-plow, and his bools used to frigbteu

admiie it, and used to sigh and say, “Oh,

now Gkn. Harder Learned a New
Point in Tactics —Gen. Harden, whose
manual ol infantry tactics was in use in all
the Southern armies, visited a rural Georgia
town one day during the war, and the com
mander of a “second-class militia” company
sought to do him and the general honor bv
parading his command in front of the inn in
which Hardee had rooms. ’The writer upon
tactics came out upon the balcony to review
the command, and the militia officer put his
men through their paces. In one of the
maneuvers the men became confused and got
into a hopeless tangle. Hardee, in telling
the story, said that lie could think of no
possible way in which they might be extri
cated, and waited wiih groat curiosity to see
what the militia commander would do. That
rural tactician looked at the contused muss
lor a moment with a scowl of perplexity
upon his foiehead ; then his face cleared and
he shouted the order :
“Disentangle to the front; march.”
Whereupon the men rushed forward and
formed a new line without regard to the
older of the old one. Hardee said the com
mand was nol in his own or anv other book
on tactics, but that it ought to be.
Very Pathetic— One loves to linger,
says Bierce in the San Francisco Aigonaut,
on every detail of a death like that, and it is
with a satisfaction as deep and serene as the
reflection of the dome of n Virginia City
restaurant in a plate of soup—a satisfaction
so perfect us to resemble a sinful pleasure—
that I record the (act iu Mr. Davis’ last
moments he had a chance at the consolations
of religion. His father, a Carson clergyman,
was with him on the scuff l'd :
“Samuel,” said the good man, choking
with emution, ‘ would to God I could die for
thee!” *
The erring son was deeply touched.
•’ V> ould to God yen could !” he murmured.
“But, no,” continued the pious lather,
poiuting upward, “it cannot be ; your only
hope lies there."
Sam cast his considering orbs aloft, then
shook his head despondently, remarking :
“That kind of a knot doesn't give”—pres
ently adding, from force ef habit—‘a damn.”
“Belcher life !” assented the sheriff.
Woman’s Memory —A woman will go on
a shopping tour in quest of a score of dis
similar articles. 'The ribbon must be ten
fingers and a half lung and half a finger wide ;
the carpet must be like Mrs. Spriggins’,
only that she wants her’s brown where Mrs.
S.’s is green ; the first knot in the string she
carries in hfr pocket is the width of the win
dow curtain ; the second knot, the length of
Susie’s skirt ; the third knot, of the picture
coid, and the whole siting the distance
around the center table. Besides these she'
has buttons to buy. cotton to select, silk to

come home at uight without having made a

empty pocket book, and express packages

A victim of omnibus pick pockets in Paris

meddled with him arrested. Twenty minutes

He opened it, and in place of his piece of
