THE SriiEX
lilt niplit is (lrcar and lonely, an.l it norms to
never end,
As onward toward nil unknown sea, my weary
stops 11 end |
And I would fall besido tho way, it seems so
very long.
If ’twero not for the haunting strains of a
delusive song.
There is a cruel Siren ever pinging unto mo,
Of a bright and happy future, and of things
that are to be.
And her songs they aro enchanting, as beneath
a pallid moon,
She chants of bounteous harvests and a
golden-freightcd June.
And bhc lias sung those songs to mo through
all tho weary years;
And 1 have watched and waited long in
hopeful, silent teal’s,
A watching ami awaiting for the happy things
to be,
That this cruel, cruel, Siren sings so constantly
to me.
But still tho night grows duiker, and the
moon seems on tho wauo,
Ab o’er my rough and •h enry way still falls that
mocking strain,
And still 1 struggle onward toward a distant,
unknown sea,
While this dceeitful Siren sings of things that
aro to bo.

It whs ii very poorly furnished room
in a cottage home; u nuull cottugo, olio
of many, till sninll, mean mul scantily
furnished, and tho ‘‘lianda” lived there.
This one was Morgan's cottage, and it
was Jack Morgan himself and his sister
Madge who were seated at breakfast,
lingering, as was possible only on Sun
day morning. Sh wns a tall, well-
formed, strikingly handsome girl of 19,
u» she sat facing hoi brother, who was
some five years older ; and upon her
faoo was an eager, troubled look, while
ho was snllon and downcast. Young
ns they wore, they had seen butter days;
been educated up to three years pre
vious to that June morning, and then
been thrown suddenly upon their own
resources.
Jack fought his way, sullen and re
sentful, making few friends mid seeking
none. Madge was the braver of tho
two, meeting their reverses witli quiet
courage, and bringing energy, trust and
cheerfulness to tho mean cottage home.
Just one week hail elapsed since an
mint, from whom they never hoped for
aid, hod left them each a hundred
pounds, and Jack had resolved to try
ids fortune in Canada, while Madge put
hers aside for a rainy day.
“I’ll stay hero until you are suro of
success, Jack," she said, when ho urged
hor to join him, “and keop n homo for
you in case that von need one,”
"Do yon call this hole a homo?” ho
asked bitterly, and she only smiled nnd
'answered:
“A shelter, then,”
ltut she was not smiling wdicn she sat
at the Sunday breakfast, eating little,
brooding sudly, until suddi lily shu
oried:
“duck, wo must do something. Think
what wo owe Tom King."
"Oivo him 1 I believe wo lmvo paid
him every farthing,” said Jack, sharply,
“Wo paid him tho money, I know;
but wo can uover pay him what wo still
owo him.”
“Bah I Don’t bo sentimental, Madgo."
“Common gratitude is not sentiment
More, Jack. .Tank," sbo repeated,
“can yon forgot who ciimo to us in that
sore need, paid dootor and butcher and
thou buried our mother besido father in
tho cemetery I”
“And do you forget,” hor brother ro-
plied, almost angrily, “how wo worked
uml saved, starved mid perished, until
every shilling of the money was in Tom
lung's jHiektl again ?”
"I know I 1 know,I But think how
ftind lio was—how ho helped you and
xno to got our situations in tho mills,
mul how delicately lie made tho loans ot
money. And now, oh, Jack, I must do
aomething,”
“What cau you do? If Tom King
chose to ioso his monuy in speculating,
how aro you respoiisilifo?”
“I am not; but, Juck, thcro is Aunt
Kato'H money.”
“All you have in tho world ?"
“No, sho uusworod, "I have my
wages. ”
“A noblo fortune. Don't bo a fool,
Madgo.”
unt mnngo wns rnonn tno sense no
meant. All through the morning, wlnlo
she put tho house in order, while sho
dressed iu hor quiet mourning for church,
even through I lie sorvico there, hIio was
thinking of wliut sho owed Tom King.
When hor motliet, crushed by tho death
of hor husband, unable to meet tho
change from comfort to poverty, sank
down prostrated; when Jack, unable to
work, wns cursing fortune, Tom King
rauie, as their father’s friend, and kept
them from starvation. Madge's heart
glowed as she remembered how thought
ful lie was about sparing her trouble in
every way. Ho was considerably older
than she, and a grave, reserved man,
whom she regarded with the nductionato
respect she would lmvo given her father,
but with that same reveronoo she loved
him deeply. And when the whole town
know that Tom King lay iu tho New
town hospital, sick and penniless, tho
whole noble, grateful heart of Madgo
Morgan wont out to him. Many stories
reached her. He lmd mndo a fortuno
and lost; he hud invested in mines, and
the mines had failed and ruined him; ho
had been engaged, according to the
Fewlown gossips, iu a dozen different
Bjieculutioiis, winning vast sums only to
lose them. But one broad, indisputa
ble fact remained, if all the rest were
fulse; ho was lying iu tho hospital Biek
from the excitement that had put the
lust stroke upon his ill luck.
Dinner over, Madge put on her bun-
uet again.
“I'm going over to tho hospital,
Jack,” sho said.
Only a grunt answered hor, but she
would not bo put off by Jack’s soiu
looks, and went on her errand.
Here, upon a low, non cot-bed, pale
and emaciated, but evidently on the
road to recovery, Tom King lay, when
Madge Morgan came up to tho ward
with a nurse, her face so grave and ten
der that the strong will and patient en
durance of its usual expression were lost
iu the puro womanly sympathy that
rested there,
“My friend 1” she said, taking the
wasted hand extended to her, and Tom
King wondered if ever two words held
so much as those two.
“Why, Madgo 1” ho said, presently,
looking into her eyes misty with tears,
“do not feel so badly. I’m gaining
every day. The doctor says lio will
have mo on my feet in u week, and I'm
going abroad again.”
“Again. When you have been so un-
fortunato there?”
“Eh? Oh, I see 1” ho said, with an
odd look in his eyes; “you’ve been read
ing the papers. Unlucky, wasn’t I ?”
“Yus. But, Tom—I camo to tell you
—” the words camo slowly—"I have
some money that—that is of no use tc
me. It will start you again, I ”
"You want mo to take it ?”
“You can borrow it," nuxious not to
hurt liiB prido, “and some day—when
jron are rich—you can return it.”
' “Yes I I see I Have you got it with
you ?”
“I thought I would bring it with me,”
she snifl, her face Hushed with pleasure,
“and here it is."
He opened tlio envelope nnd took ii
out, one note, just ns the lawyer had
sent it to her, Tom King laid it on the
broad palm of w4 stroked it
"Allyonr wealth, Madge?" he asked.
"Not whilo I lmvo these,” and sho
held up her hands. “1 am so glad,
though, that I lmvo it.”
Ho lay very quiet, looking steadily at
tho note for some minutes; then ho be
gan to speak, his eyes still fixod on the
money, his voice sternly but monoto
nous,’ as if ho were reading a story
there.
“When I went nwny, nearly three
years ago,” lie said, "I went to seo if I
could not shake myself free from a
dream I lmd. 1 dreamed that I could
win tho love of a child, n mere slip of a
girl, who wns forced into premnture wo
manhood by trouble. She wns utterly
unconscious of my love, but I knew I
con Id not bide it if I staved lioside her.
Out of ber sight, far from tlio sound of
her voioo, tho dronm, instead of fading,
became clenror, more vivid. Day and
night 1 dreamed, but I worked as well.
I put what money I hnd into invest
ments that promised well—hut there, I
will not speak of Hint. Providence was
iuerclfi.1. I nui alive, at least——" ho |
paused there, but n low, sweet voioo
took up the story.
“And tho dream will becomo a real-
ity,” tho voice said. “Tho child-woman
did not rend her own heart, nor tinaor-
staiid why nothing iu her life met or
filled tho longing there. Not until
slmrp sorrow came, and she heard of
him sho loved lying ill nnd ill poverty
and pain, did siie understand that ho
took all tho love she could evor know
away with him.”
“And now, Madge?”
“It shall he ns you say. I lovo yon. I
am young and strong, and I think I
e in bo a helps and not a burden to you.”
"Will you bo my wife, Madgo?”
“Whenever you will.”
"Madge, did you think, mydenr, that
I ivas mined? Because I wns Hick nnd
camo here to be nursed, pcoplo jurojKid
al tho conclusion that I lost everything.
But I came here simply becanso I would
have the beat of care, and because with
all m.v wealth I could not purchase halt
tlio disinterested kindness Hint 1 gut
here. 1 couldn't go to you, you know,
Madge. Don’t believe all you hear or
mul, my dear Madge; I am a rich man
i till-richer than I evor was—but I
mean to keep this," and bis band closed
over the note, “You aboil never liavo
il again, Madge."
"1 am content.” she answered.
And even Jack was satisfied, some
thing of his sullen temper tiring lost
when ho onco more found himself on
the road to urosuoritv.

INK OF FINKURTON’B BUOGKHSnni FI.ANN
TO DETECT A UUHDKIIKII,
Major Pinkerton's porBovernnco and
ingenuity were tlio secrets of liissuecsss
iu all Ids undertakings. If ho oould not
accomplish his purpose by one plan he
immediately resorted to another. His
mind was wonderfully fertile in expedi
ents, and it wns a rare thing for him to
tail when he had.oiiee set IiIh mind on
success. Y’oii can form some idea of his
o ndy tact and capacity for planning in
iliocasoof Hie colored murderer John-
on, of Boiilli Carolina, who killed an
enemy under tho most brutal eircum
htunees.
Major Pinkerton wns pretty positive
as to the man’s guilt, but it wns impos
sible to obtain a complete chain of evi
dence. With tlio untural aeeretivoness
of Ilia rnoo Johnson refused to fnll into
any ol tho mau-traps set for him and
make a confession, which was Pinker
ton’s object. After weeks of pntiont but
abortive work a novel plan was bit upon.
The murderer was surprised one morn
ing when lie went to take a plow into a
field to find it spattered with blood. Ill
the open field where he was to work the
murderer found little pools of blood
along tho course he was to plow. When
lie went hack to the stable ho was start
led by seeing the bloody imprint of a
human hand on tlio stable door. Every
hoe or rake or other farm implement
that tho man picked up lind blood on it.
When nightfall camo tho murderer was
so paralyzed with fear that his teeth
were chattering and lie was afraid to go
to bed. He bulieved that tho spirit of
bis victim was haunting him.
Thu detective nnd his assistant noted
(hose symptoms and were confident Hint
I he right plan had been struck at last.
It had been after a fashion, and there
xi .is a horrible proof givou tho next day
Johnson xvas found in the bam with Ids

Bravo Sam Houston In Alnbnma,
The firo of the Indians was doadly,
nnd thus, rnuzzlo to muzzle, tho cnmbnt
raged for some time. Houston's Major,
Ii. P. Montgomery, xvns the first man on
top of tho works, whom lie was instant
ly killed, l’onug Houston, who had u
short tinio before boon promoted to en
sign, seeing bis Mnjnr fall, sprang at
once to the spot and received a barbed
arrow in his thigh. With the arrow
still iu the quivering iletih, tlio young
ensign, calling ou his men to follow
him, leaped down into tho rnnss of Iu-
dians, and by liis vigorous strokos soon
bud a space cleared around him,
Thu works wore soon carried, the In
dians fleeing before tlio troops iuto the
underbrush. Houston now sat down,
called one of his lieutenants to him, and
told him to pull tho arroxv from tho
wound. Two strong jerks failed, when
Houston exclaimed iu an agony' of pain
and impatience: “Try again, uml if you
fail this time, I will strike you to the
ground.” Throwing liis entire weight
against the arrow, tlio lieutenant drexv
it forth, but xvitli fearful laceration nnd
loss of blood. Whilo tlio wound was
buiug dressed by the Burgeon, General
Jackson rode up aud spoko words of
praise to bis young friend, giving him
an order not to untor tlio battle again,
xx'hicli Houston begged liim to recall;
but the general only repeated it more
peremptorily, and rode on. Iu a few
minutes Houston xvas oneo more iu the

Dynamite.
Tlioso who lmvo never seen the much
talkod-of dynamite explosive will be in
terested to knoxv that it looks much like
moist lirou-n sugar. Nitro-glyoeriue,
which is formed by tlio notion of nitric
acid by glycerine, at a loxv temperature,
is the active agent iu dynamite, but it
is mixed xvitli some absorbed sub tauce
to render it safer to handle-than tho
liquid glycerine. Tho absorbent mate
rial thus used is a ailieious earth—a fine
white powder composod of the remains
of infusoria, and resembling powdered
chalk ; this takos up two or throe times
its weight of the mtro-glycerino, with
out becoming pasty, and the ingredients
aro easily mixed, leaden vessels nud
wooden spoons being used to avoid dan
gerous friction. When tlame is applied
io this mass it burns with a strong
blaze, without any explosion; but when
ignited by a detonating fuse, or oven by
a sudden blow, its explosive force is
tremendous.

About txvo years nftor the revolution
General Houston lind his first difficulty
with the people. Under the Constitu
tion tlio capital lind lieen fixed at Aus
tin, but power was given to tlio Presi
dent to order the temporary removal of
tlio nrebives in rase of danger. Tho
ComnneJies wero committing ravages
within sight of Austin, nud General
Houston ordered the Ntixto records to bo
forwarded to him at Washington, Texas.
This caused much excitement in Austiu.
nnd four hundred moil placed themselves
aliout the State-house to jirevent tho
removal. Colonel Morton, a lending
spirit of tlio revolution, wns at their
head, nnd wrote to General Houston,
who well knew liis character as a fight
ing man, that, if tho archives wero re
moved, ho (Morton) would hunt him
down tike a wolf. General Houston re
plied in n noto of characteristic lirovity:
“If tho people of Austin do not send
them, I shall come nnd get them, nnd if
Colonel Morton can kill mo ho is wel
come to my ear-cap." Tho gtinrd wnH
at oneo doubled, patrolmen were placed
on the roads, and a select commit too
went into permanent session in the city
hall, During tlio sitting of that body
one xvlio was unannounced suddenly
stood in their midst, having gained en
trance bv means of a tall livc-onk which
grew against tlio window; bis garb nnd
arms wore those of a bunter, and, lieina
s|Kiken to by Colonel Morton, ho placed
liis finger ou bis lips nnd remained si
lent. Colonel Morton flew into a rage
nnd seized him, when tho stranger seized
bis bowie-knife at the snmo instant that
Morton’s friend's hold him hack. An
other member of tlio body spoke to tlio
stranger, saying that the meeting wns a
private one, nnd that lie presumed the
gcntlcmnu had mistaken the house. At
this lie walked to n table nud wroto one
line, "I nm deaf.” Judge Welib thou
wrote, “Toll iih your business," when a
letter wns handed him, nddresseil to the
citizens of Austin, which tlio judge rend
aloud as follows:
Fkm.owcitizkns: Though in error,
and deceived by tho arts of traitors, I
will give you three days more to dicido
whether or not you will forward to mo
the archivist, At tile end of that time
you will please let mo know your decl- I
sion. Ham Hophton.” |
Tho denf man waited a fow moments |
for a reply, and *vns about to lenve, i
when Colonel Morton lmnded him n
note saying, “You woro bravo enough
to insult me; aro you brave enough to
give me satisfaction ?" Tho mute wroto,
I nm ut your service,” and after fixing
terms lie left by tlio window. Morton
was told lie would bo killed, ns ho wns
to fight Deaf Hmitli, who uover missed
liis man; but be could not bo shaken iu
bis resolve. Thu weapons nsod wero

uloth, liis antagonist in smoko-tinted

At tho given signal both firod at tho
snmo instant; Morton sprang into tho
air anil full dend, a ball iu his heart.
Deaf Hmith quietly rclonded liis riflo
and walked iuto tho forest. Tlireo days
afterward ho enmo with Gon. Houston
nnd tun others to Austin, nnd tho

opposition.
While President of the Repnbllo,
Houston received a olmllengo to fight a

It wns his habit to deliver his mes

Hiiges; Hint it would bo treating them

Tho Wonderful Pluncliotto.
In tho year 1808 a gentleman named
Kirby,who is now living in Kansas City,
invented a contrivance which lie called
“plauohette.” It was au ordinary board
of wiiluut, shaped like an easel nud sup
ported by four small rollers. It was iu
lszu about as large as n woman's Gains
borough hat. Tho plunchotto would bo
plucud ou a table over a sheet of Vir
ginia xxliilo fools-onp. A man would bo
told to shut both of his eyes and think
of something lie held dear. His fingers
would rest ou tlio easel and lio was to
forget all nbout them and about it. Iu
a few minutes he would bo in a sort of
reverie. The thoughts iu his mind
would gradually become absorbed on
one point. In another minute tlio plan-
oliotto would begin to move moohani-
unlly on its rollers, Aud thou, without
auy apparent volition on his part, tho
pencil which was hold by the easel xvould
slowly traoo over tho foolsoap the mime
of a sweetheart, or tho date of some en
gagement, or whatever thought wns up
permost iu his mind.
This revelation of a latent power was
thought at first to be most surprising.
But after snmo 10,090 plnuchettos had
been sold for one dollar each it censed to
bo so muoh of a xvoudor, and Mr. Kirby
retired in 1870 to tho West. At tho
same time the discussion to which the
plonchette gave rise—-for ornzo it was—
established two or throo things. The
first was that somo temperaments pos
sessed tho oleetrio force to a muoh
greater extent thnu others I The
Huooud was that, ns a general rulo, xvo-
mon wero moro largely endowed with it

xvns that tho electricity xvhieli tlio mind
oould generate could bo exercised

A bill appropriating 85,000 for inves
tigating the causes of tlio dcclino of tho
oyster yield in and around New York
city niul for devising menus whereby the
supply may bo increased nud oysters
may lio protected from their untural en
emies, received Gov. Cleveland's signa
ture on Juno 14. Prof. H. J. Bice, of
Fish Commissioner lllackford’B Fulton
Market laboratory, bos begun experi
ments nt the Cold Spring fish hatcheries
with n view to ascertaining whether oys
ters enn lux propagated artificially.
“As to tho decrease in the annual sup
ply of oysters in tho vioiuity of New
York," said Prof, ltico recently, “it is
very marked every year. Where thero
were formerly prolifio natural beds of
oysters now scarcely n bivalvo can bo
found. It is the result of careless and
extravagant reaping of the oyster crop.
This is especially truo with regard to
tho xx liters on both sides of Long Island
nnd in Prince’s Bay; but fishermen know
that it is generally true in every place
xvhenee oysters are brought to the New
York market. Where tho destruction
will stop no one knows and it is late now
to try to nrreHt it. However, wo aro
putting our shoulders to the wheel and
will go to the bottom of the subject
both theoretically nud practically.
“First, wo will experiment ou artifi
cial propagation of tlio oyster,” said Prof,
ltieo. "It lias never boon fully accom
plished, liecnuso of tho difficulty in
keeping tlio eggs after improguntion.
They aro ns flue ns tho finest dust. They
aro so small that millions might bo con
tained in a tumbler of water nnd yet you
could not seo them. Only a microscope
will reveal their presence. Tho metliixl
of planting oyster bods lias been to visit
old oyster beds and gather tho seed
xx lion it lias grown to tho size of your
finger nnil.
“As to tho method of oyster propaga
tion,” continued Prof. Rico, "it is much
like Hint of artificially reproducing fish.
Thero is a female oyster which deposits
eggs and n male oyster which exudes
milt, and from the contact of tho milt
with the eggs tho young oyster is pro-
dneed. Details of our methods will lio
ready for publication nt n proiier time.
When wo have succeeded, as wo hoixi,
in reproducing young oystera tlio old
beds iu tho Hound end on the south sido

i After Hint we will turn our attention to
■ the enemies of tlio oyster, such us tho

Ucslllutlon After Many Years.
A commercial travolor told a good
story a few days siuoo: no said that a
prominent merchant whose ways wore

Tho merchant looked sharp at the old
people for a moment, nnd thon said to
the clerk, "Bliow them somo hotter

As tho clerk began to throw down roll

Close to tho United Btates Mint in
Philadelphia, on the roof of a place of
business, there is a small bird-box, which
is occupied by a pugnacious English
spnrroxv. Among tho girls, aud even
among tho men, iu tlio Mint, nenrly all

this particular sparrow lins been long a

freely does ho fiy in tlio window nud flit

iMim-jg iu Mexico, uutil Americans or

tlio most primitive fashion. A recent
travolor says that all hoisting was douo
on the backs of the native miners. Tho
shafts aro almost perpendicular, with
notched poles set zigzig, their loxver
ends resting ou shelves out in the rock.
Tlio notches are barely large enough to
lot tho foot iu, "xvitli the toes of tho
shoes cut nxvay. With 200 pounds or
moro of ore iu a sack fastoued upon
thoir backs by a strap tlmt also passes
over the forehead, men toiled up these
poles from mines hundreds of feet deep,
depending upon tho precarious clutch of
foot and hand iu these notohos. A mo
ment’s dizziuess or a failure to reach the
notoli with hands or feet xvould be oer-
tuin death. Even so simple a eontriv-
auoe as a hand windlass amazed thorn,
and Mexicans camo long distances to
see one set up by a miner from Califor
nia. It was somo time before any one
dared to use it.

TIIE ENEMY OF THE OVSTEIt.
nil Over III*
William Merwin A Hons of Milford,
Conn., havo engaged Capt. Thomas
Bcolt, tho submarine diver uml wreokor,
to examine their oyster beds off Milford
harbor for Hie purpose of investigating
tho movements of Hie starllsli. This
enemy of the oyster is in tho habit of
bunching up, as tlio oystermon term it,
at this season of the year to spawn. Tho
plan is, after tlio bunches of starllsli
lmvo boon found by the diver, to lower
purse nets around them, raiso them to
tho surfaco, tnko them aboard vessels,
and convey tbom to tho uplands for fer
tilizer. It is evident that something
must bo done, nnd that qniokly, or tho
Connecticut oyster industry xvill lio
doomed. Tho starflsh near Milford
lmvo becomo so abundant that several
Hull pounds lmvo been burdened with
them to such an extont that tho nots
could uot bo raised, and woro lost. It
is said that tlio utiirllah aro found only
iu small numbers nt the west cud of the
Hound,
Tho prinoipnl brooding grounds of the
jtnrllsh nro tho natural oyster beds off
Bridgeport aud Stratford. The spawn
of tho stnrtlsh floats in tho water, tho
same as tho spawn of the oyster. Both
bocomo attached to whatever they come
in contact with, and so tho two often
grow ou tho same ground, especially ou
hard bottom,,nud whero oyster shells aro
distributed in mud for the purpose of
catching tho oyster spnxvu. Ofton no
large stnrs or brooders can bo found in
the vicinity of new beds, and yet the
young stars will be nbuudant. For this
reason growers are iu constant drond of
having their crops devoured and tho bods
upon xvhioh they havo spent thousands
of dollars made worthless.
The oyster planters differ in their
viows as to tho habits of tho starfish.
Homo say the more oysters the moro star
fish. Others think monlmden and other
fish wliioh used to swim tho Sound kept
(lie starfish in Biibjeotion by devouring
their spnxvu. These fishes went in
schools thousands of acres in extent,
and thoir food, whatever it was, must
lmvo lieen consumed in enormous
quantities.
Texas licer.
The great reservoir from which lias
been drawn the bulk of the cattle wliioh
aro now boooming so abundant in all
our Wostern Territories is the State of
Texas. In 1870 ono-ssventh of the
horned cattle in tho United States was
found within its borders, nndUout-nnm-
tiered the aggregate of those of all the
other States and Territories wost of tho
Missouri, California and the Pnolflo
Const included. The ratio was slightly
changed by tbo statistics of 1880, the
State representing somewhnt less than
one-eiglith of tho whole number, while
it still contained more than all the others
mentioned above. From this souroe of
supply lias boen drawn tho groat bulk of
tho range enttlo now to bo found on the
publio lands onst of the Rooky Moun
tains—an industry wliioh line grown to
huge proportions, and yot dating hack
in theso States nnd Territories s few
years only. As tho evidence of this we
note tlmt in 1870 tho nnmber given for
Montana, Wyoming nnd Colorado was a
little Hess than 280,000, Ton years later
Wyoming alone equalled this, while the
three together aggregated nenrly 800,-
000. AVe do not doubt that nu accurate
census taken to-day would moro than
double these figures. To Texas, then,
wo must still look for tho Bupply from
which to draw recruits to furthor devel
op tho capabilities of the northorn
ranges. Like tho tide of immigration
which is doily landing thousands of for
eigners on tho shores of the New World,
moro than oqimlling tho relative birth
iuoronse, so the annual cattlo-drive
from Texas must yot he tho bnso of sup
plios for all tho country north.— liar-
