TSM BTTBB OF LIFE*
tl# more we live, more brief appe&g
Obi lifa'i racooiding stage;;
St day to ehiMhood seems a year,
And yean like passing ages.
He gladsome current of oar yonth.
Ere passion yet disorders,
Bieals lingering like a river smooth
Along its grassy borders.
Bat as the careworn cheek grows wan,
And sorrow’s shafts fly thicker,
Ie stars, that measure life to man,
Why teem your courses quicker ?
r .hen Joys have lost their bloom and breath
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we near the Falls of Death,
Foal w# its tide more rapid ?
It nap be itrange, y*>t who would change
Time’s course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends bavo gone
And left our bosoms bleeding ?
Heaven gives our years of fading strength
Indemnifying fleetness;
And those of youth a seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness.

A WRECKER BOY’S BRIDE.
There are nol a eet of men living
more daringthan the wreckers of the
Bahamas. Would to Heaven there was
more principle connected with tlicir
bravery. And yet, even among those
hardy, ann-browned classes, there oro
many who possess noble, sympathetic
hearts, and they witness human Enffor-
ing with as deep commiseration ns the
more enlightened of our cities and thickly
populated districts, where church spire’s
point toward Heaven, and organizntiona
of beuevolonoe abound.
One of the exceptions existed in the
family of old Jack Ryan. Tlio houao of
Jack was looated upon the southern
point of Great Bahama Inland, and at
the time of which wo write his cottngo
was biassed with the presence of n boy
just verging into mnuhood, and a lovely
young girl abont Bixtcon years of age
They were called respectively Edward,
or Ned, and Isabella, or Holle, and were
understood to bo tho children of Jack
Ryan, although there were nouo upon tho
island, who had any reoollectiou of ever
having seen tho old man’s wife.
But there was a secret connection with
this family which no person know snve
those dirootly interested in it. Jack hail
never been marriod, bnt those who liml
contributed to make his homo bo happy
wore only his adopted children, which
they perfectly understood, although they
both loved tho old man with ns true nu
affection as if ho had really been tlicir
father. They also loved each other, and
only awaited a suitahlo ago to link their
fortunes even more closely together.
It was a dark and stormy night In
mid-winter, and quite oold, even in that
southern olimato. Nod and Hello wore
alone togothcr in the cottage, and fot
some time neither of thorn had spoken.
They seemed to listen occasionally for
•pproaohing footsteps, and often glanced
anxiously toward tho door,
At length the maiden started up, and,
In a moment after, she was in tho cm-
braoe of a powerful man, whoso long,
white looks and coarse garmouta were
drenched with rain, bnt which was un
heeded by her. She gazed rather mix-
foosty Into his face, and when iho saw a
shadow resting there, anotbor passed
over her tweet features, Thou she
asked:
“Has anything gone wrong with von,
dear father ?”
“Oh, no—all is well,” was the somo-
whttt hasty res|K>nse.
"Then why do yon look sad and trou
bled ?’’
“Only natural anxloty. Wo are about
to take a very Important step, and tho
the utmost caution is necessary, or otir
plans may be thwarted. But sit down
while wo talk of the matter.”
Belle took her ecat, and niter throwing
aside his outer garmonts tho old man
did tho same.
Up to this time Ned hod not spoken,
bnt brooking silence he asked:
"Father are von positive that Hello
and myself are In no mnnnor related ? It
would be dreadful if I should wod a sis
ter."
“Foaitive, boy ? Of oourse I am. Tho
vessel upon which yourself, your father
and yonr mother were passengers wns a
Bpauish craft, bound from Cadiz to Sa
vannah, After she was wrecked npon
the island I saw your lather and mother,
both iio&d. Tour father hod struggled
to tho shore with you in his arms, and
as he was about to breatbo his Inst he
handed mo bis ohild. Ho tried to speak,
bnt the words died out upon bis lips’
Ton are like him, hoy—there is the old
Castile in every feature."
“That is tree.”
“Aud Bello is just tho rovorse, Bho
same into my possession by tho wreck
ing of a brig bonnd from New York to
Hew Orleans. I was nonr tho oraft whon
•be went down, I saw a woman leap
into the water with an iufaut in hor
arm..; I was just in timo to olntch the
dn sn of the infant, but the mother sank.
This was three yonrs alter von wero
saved, Ned.”
“P >w do yon know the woman yon
saw !. .p into the ocean wus my mother?"
asked Bella.
“A glance was snflloienl to satisfy me
al th. foot By a vivid flash I distinctly
■aw her eyes, as they were for an instant
turned npon me before she sunk. They
were of a heavenly bltto, like yonr own.
Ton have her golden hair also.”
“Htill, there is ono thing that troubles
me."
“The watoh and tho locket, ia it,
Med r
“Yea; the watch you took from my
father’s pocket on tho night of his
death, bore the name ’Edward Lath—,’
the other letters being so marred by
oniitaet with the ragged rocka that we
eould not make them out. Now, the
namo on the locket which was fonnd on
Belle’s nook was ‘Isabel Lathrop.’ Yon
see the first four letters of the surname
is the same."
“Yes; bnt only a coincident, bo as
sured. At ■ the samo time, when we
veaoh New York, we will have all those
particulars published in every paper
thronghont the oonutry, and we may
find some person who can explain as to
who von really are.”
“Why has this not been done years
ago?”
“B.-canse I’m a selfish old villain, and
couldn’t boar tbe thought of losing you,
I kept tho seoret, claiming yon as my
own. I am sure I have loved yon as
snob.”
“Yon have, dear father,” and Belle
kissod away a tear-drop os she spoke,
which had started forth from the eyes
of the old man.
“Yes, father,” continued Ned, "you
have been everything to us; bnt still I
desire to learn something witli regard to
my own family and that of Bello, if
possible. To-morrow night we will
start for the Florida coast, and in a
week or ten days after wo can reach New
York. Then my desires may be accom
plished."
"We must start to-night,”
“To-night?”
“Yos; this very night.”
“II everything is in readiness I am
willing. But why this sudden change?”
“I will tell yon. You know how I
have toiled to counteract the inhuman
plans laid by the wreckers for the pur
pose of gain, and to prevent fresh vic
tims from falling into their power,
Tou know well how I have succeeded.”
“All this we know.”
“Onr captain, Richard Nowell, has
been satisfied, for a long time, that
some person has been working against
hiWi wrt h# fcft wr# mipeofred m,
Yon, Nod. bavo bcon tbe object of his
suspicion."
“Well, bo bos good reason for his
thoughts."
“I know it, my boy, for yon bavo
been raab. I havo just had an inter
view with the captain.”
“With whnt results ?”
"Ho domands yonr trial, and if yon
ure convicted yonr death will follow.”
“Oh, then let ns go at once I” ex
claimed Belle.
"Yes. everything is in readiness. In
nu hour wc will bo off!"
A sound, something poonlinr, at
tracted the attention of those in the
dwelling, and .Tuck Ryan sprang to his
feet, while his bronzed faoo beenmo a
little pnlo.
Ned observed this, and dnrting nwav
from the door he endeavored to ascer
tain if there were any listeners about.
Satisfied that tho sound ho had heard
wan but tho ahrick of tho wind, or aomo
stray gull, he returned, and so an
nounced.
Old .Tack did not seem to feel quite
eertniu that such wns tho ease, for ho
spoke in a low tone, as ho continued :
“Dick Nowell has proposed for tho
hand of Bello, and lie declares tlint sho
must become his wife at once.”
“Oh, father 1” exolalmod the poor
girl, and a shndder passed over her
Dame ns she spoke.
“I’d cut tho villain’s throat I” cried
Nod, with vehemence.
"Hush I Don’t ei>enk so lond, Things
are had enough nt tho l)C8t."
“Tell us the worst, then.”
“I will. Tho Captain plainly de
clared that ho BHsjH'Ctod yon, Ned, of
treachery, and that ho would only save
yon on conditions."
“And those conditions?"
"Wore that Bello should become his
wife at once, and that you should leave
tho island forever.”
“And it I rofuso?"
"If wo do not accept his proposals
Iho wreckers will bo aroused ngainat
you. Belle will- bo forced to become tho
Captain's wife, yon will bo hung up by
tho neck, and I will donbtlesa lose my
own lifo if I offer tho slightest opposi
tion."
"Lot us fight them to tho death."
"Foolish boy. What do you Hiip|Kiso
wo could do against the hundreds who
would lie opposid to no?"
"True—nothing. Bo let ns mako
preparations for instant departure.”'
This was done. At tho rear of tho
cottage there were sharp ledges of rook,
through which there was a winding
pathway to the seashore. While tho
iliuuders 1 Hallowed in tho heavens, the
lightning flushed, the sen roared and
leaped in its fury and tho drenching ruin
dashed down upon the solid masses of
granite, a few articlea of valuo wore re
moved from the cabin to a small sailing
craft, which lay moored in a sheltered
niche, rendy for its seuwnr.1 flight.
While tho party was thus engaged
they believed themselves unobserved.
They did uot dream that fiorco and an-
grv oyca were glnriug upon them.
The arrangements torn slnrt were com
plete and th« friends wore about to step
on board tlio little ornlt and push off,
dangerous ns tho experiment seemed to
ho. But nt that instant fierce yells burst
upon tlio night nir, ringing out high
above tbo tempest; aud in n moment al
ter a hundred dark forms were seen to
loap up from among tlio lodges.
Ned and old Jack fought witli desper
ation, for now tlioy well knew whnt their
fato would ho. Death at onoe, and Belle
would bo loft alono, at the mercy of the
remorseless captain of tbo wreokers.
But tlicir opposition was vain and they
wore soon overpowered.
The morning dawned bright and beau
tiful, but poor old Jack and Ned wore
uot permitted to gn/.o upon tlio glorious
sunrise for they wore botli in dungeons,
awaiting their aentenco. About noon it
enmo. The traitors to the band were to
be bonnd to tlio perpendicular rocky
wall witli ohains and there left to die.
Tho sea would drench thorn with its
leaping towora of foam, hunger would
gnaw tuoir vitals, iho gulls shriek around
'hem and atrip their bones at fongth.
They must die a dentil of lingering hor
rors, evou while In the distance tlioy
oould sco tlio whitened sail of many u
tiolilo craft who would fly to their relief
were hut tlicir situation known.
Chained lo tho rocks, it seemed as if
earthly liopo had departed, and yet they
did uot give up in despair.
Hho hud bcon taken to tlio rcaldenoe
of Nowell and there made a last prisoner
in nu upper room. Bho was informed of
tho situation of hor father and supposed
brother and given to understand that
only her ohcorful consent to tlio union
would possibly gain for thorn any mercy.
Many maidens would have wept ami
given npin despair,but not so with Bello.
Sho heartily detested the captain, ami
she alone feared him, for she know his
wild nature. But sho had formed, not
only tho rcsolvo that sho would uot
yield, but that sho would save her
friends,
Tho Bccond night onmo, and she was
alone. But she had formed her plans.
Near tho dwelling there grow a lurgo
tree, the braiiohes of whioh reached
within somo Bix or eight foot of hor
window. It was a fearful leap for a
maiden to attempt, but she did not
hesitate iu hor ootion. Bho made tlio
spring, and olutohod tho branohos. For
a moment sho hung there suspended;
but, straining evory nerve, she Hlowly
worked her way downward, until sho
reached tlio ground.
Tho shouts of tho wreokers in tlioir
revels readied hor ears ns slio spod along
toward tho cliffe, aud her lioart beat
wildly, but it eoemed that hor move
ments had not been noted, Bho pro
cured n rope from hor owii cottage, and
rcaohing tho verge of tho cliff, she
called upon tbe names of those sho
loved. The nuswor came, and her heart
wns thrilled with emotions af hope.
Semiring hor cord at tee summit of
tho ledge, she slowly let herself down
until she swung in mid-nir, by tho side
of her father. But she found it utterly
impossible to remove tlio chains, for
they were fastened upon tlio limbs of
tho vielirn with strong locks.
At that moment rIio heard tlio alarm
given, aiul sho know that her otoapo lmd
been discovered. And there seemed to
bo another source of danger. Directly
overhead sho saw a form descending,
Bho raised her dogger, ready to strike,
when the woll-known voice of Nod ex-
olaimed:
"It is I, Belle. I managed to slip my
own fetters, but I oonld not release my
father. Bo I went to tho house of the
captain. I saw yon escape, and I knew
your purpose. But it woe necessary to
have the keys. They are In my posses
sion, and I left Nowell senseless, where
I lmd stricken him.”
Old Jack was set at liberty, and tho
throe soon stood upon tho top of tho cliffs.
But no timo was to bo lost, for tho
wreckers were coming iu that direction,
shrieking and howling ill their rage.
"To the boat—to the boat I"
This wns reached by onr friends, mid
away she flew, not an instant too soon,
leaving tho baffled wreckers behind to
seek new victims on whom their von-
gcanoe would be wrenked.
The father and his adopted ohildren—
now husband aud wife—reside in n pop
ulous oitv, and their efforts have saved
many a noble oraft from wreck upon the
Bahamas. The parents of these ohil
dren had really perished—they were
never found, although relatives were
soon discovered, and the letters on the
watoh and locket were accounted for.
Their names were Latham aud Lathrop.

Tlio Political Campaign.
THE DEFENSIVE CAMPAIGN,
The campaign thus far bos fully justi
fied the Republican opposition to tho
nomination of Mr. Blaine. It was
plainly stated that it wonld inevitably
divide the party, and compel a prolonged
explanation and dofenso. The same
reasons had licen urged ngninst his nom
ination in 1876. Tlio Oincinnati Cbm-
mcrcial asked in Jane -of that year,
"Can tho party afford to go into tho
canvass with a cnndidnto for whom
apology or explanation will oontinnnlly
bo required? 1 ' Tho Cincinnati Gazette
aaid at tho samo timo, "These letters
will form Mr. Blaiile’s platform if ho is
nominated;" and again, »“No man can
stand successfully before the people of
the country ns the Republican candidato
for tbo Presidency covered all over as
Blaino is with his own letters." The
Chicago Tribune said, "Mr. Blaine’s
nomination, under theso oircumstnncoR,
would ho n virtual confeesion on tho
part of tho Republican party either that
it has no available candidate who baa
not licen engaged m similar transactions,
or that it approvea of anch conduct on
the part of tbo men it sends to Con
gress.” These things wore said before
the later Mulligan letters were known in
which Mr. Blaine asks Mr. Fisher to
testify to falsehoods in rognrd to Mr.
Blaine’s transactions. The same con
siderations were pressed again.,t the
Blaino nomination this year. But they
were answered by tho declaration
tlint it would not be a campaign of
dofenso and explanation, but of goneral
nggreaslon and universal enthusiasm.
Has it bcon Biioh n campaign ? It bo-
gnn with an emphntio and significant
Republican protest and bolt, and tlio
only aggression has been agninst Re
publicans who will not support a candi
dnto whoso own totters show him to bo
unworthy of a great official trust. The
Rlaino orators tiegnn by avoiding tho
real issuo. The Blaine press ignored it,
Evon tho chief Blaino paper cut out from
s|>oeches and letters nil nilnsions to the
main question. They all denounced
bolting Republicans ns traitors and de
serters nud contemptible turncoats.
Tlioy raised tlio cry to "stand by tlio
party.” They courted tbo dyuamito and
t lie lhitlor vote. They misrepresented
tho executive nots of Governor Cleve
land. They cherished and disseminated
tho Buff do acundal. They tried to make
tho tariff tho issue. But tho real ques
tion remniuod immovable, although they
nvolded it as a burnt child tho fire.
Gradually tlio orntorB were compelled to
nttompt explanations. The pnn»rs be
gun to defend tho candidate. Too can
didate himself made ono dospornto effort
to forco protection into tho dobate. But
110 was answered by a fresh aud fatal
publication of Mulligan letters, and
after shivering for a moment astounded,
the organs broko into an angry ohorns
of defenso and explanation, and n fran
tic cry that a letter entreating a man to
toll n falsehood vindientod tho honor of
tho suppliant, and that tho man whom
Mr. Blnine besought to givo him a cer
tificate of oliarnotcr was an tinspenkahio
Boomnlrel. To-day there is ouo issue,
and bnt one before theoountry—an issuo
fully recognized by evory intolligout
voter—and that is whether tbo author of
tho Mulligan lottors shall bo oleoted

Lockjr Baldwin's Wife.
A Hurntogn lottor to tho Washington

the latest sensation at the hotel where
sho stays. She is only 4 foot G inches in

brown hair bangs down In two tirnidH

hor husband, is sixty-one years old and
a grandfather. The romantic story is
told that tlio present Mrs. Baldwin
studied arobiteoturo in Ban Frunotsoo
with hor father, whoso profession it is.
He wns summoned to appear before a
building bonrd in San Frauoisco to givo
his views on ventilation, but being too

Tbe Fatted Calf.
Tlio danger of going too muoh into
detail in talking about snbjeots with
whioh one is not vory familiar is ex
emplified iu tho story of an English
town-bred ournte, who had consented to
do duty on Sunday for his friend, the
reolor of a oonutry parish in the Mid
lands,
Tlio snbjeot of Iho morning sermon
was tho parable of the prodigal sou ; and,
in tlio liopo of impressing upon his hear
ers tho joy whioh tho patriarch felt npon
tho return of his son, ns instanood by
ordering tlio fattod oalf to bo killed, tho
yonng onrnte felt a pardonable pride in
dwelling upon a snlijeot whioh oonld
not fail to bo comprehensible to tho
dullest cowboy iu tho oongrogation.
"Remember,” ho said, "this wns no
ordinary calf whioh wns to lie killed; it
was no common calf or beast suffering
from murrain, no half-starved calf slow
ly awaiting donth. No, it was not mere
ly a fatted oalf, but” (beooming more
impressive) "it was the fatted oalf that
had been prized and loved by the family
for many years.”

With auoh suddenness did this disaster
fall upon tho people that thousands loet

knew what had happened. For a
length of fourteen hundred miles the
earth was tossed about like a rough sea,
and in a few moments three large and
E opulous cities were destroyed and every

Died In a Madhouse,
The death of Richard Tweed, the eld
est son of the late Wiliam M. Tweed, at
a inadhouso near Paris is reported by
oable. Ho was bom in Now York oity
about 43 years ago. He early left the
pnkllo schools and entered upon the

On the Bea.—A Fiji correspondent
writes to an English paper: "Often,
while sailing among the Sonth Bea Ial-
anda, I bavo passed flocks of birds, prin
cipally terns and whale birds, resting in
vast numbers on tho sea. It is remark
able tlmt, however rough tho sea may

there is not a ripple to disturb them.

causes is n question tlio answer to which

Captain Michael Bradford, ot Pitts
burg, baa just wedded tho lovely daugh
ter of • wealthy Philadelphian. It
appears that in the early part of tho
E resent aeason at Atlantio City, Captain
Iradiord, who is in charge of the Brad
ford Brothers Life Onara Station, aaved
the life of the young lady who ie now hie
bride, Hie bravo act resulted in an ac
quaintance whioh ripened into love nud
finally wonnd np in wedlock.
Tbe young woman had left her at
tendant and in oombating tho breakers
was drawn far out into tbe ocenn by the
undertow. Her perilous position was
not observed by tbe other bathers until
sho gave an agonizing ory for help, and
disappeared beneath a hnge breaker.
Captain Bradford leapod from tbo board
walk aud in a twinkling was at tho aide
of the drowning girl. When ho rcnchod
her sho was unconscious, and was being
tossed abont by tbo heaving billows. In
this condition she was brought to shore
and returned to consciousness.
A lew days afterward aho called at
Bradford's headquarters and retnrnod
thanks. Ever after that she wns aooom-
paniod by n relative when iu bathing.
Her visits to the bench booame more
frcqnent nud sho very rarely missed bei
moruii.g bath, it was observed tbat she
was wont to linger about Bradford’s tent
and was frequently seen in conversation
with the enplain. This aroused tbo sus
picion of hor relativo, who kept a olose
surveillnuco over her, and she was final
ly obliged to resort to strategy in order
to communicate with tbe captain.
Tbe acquaintance, which bad snob a
strange origin, ripened into love, whioh
the brnve Pittsburger bad tbe gallantry
to reciprocate. Meetings on the bCncii
botaeen Hie two in their bathing cos
tumes during bathing hoars booame fre
quent, and when tbo yonng lady’s rela
tive remonstrated love missives were
passed between tbe two. These missives
were written on soraps of paper found on
tbo bench nud nro retained by tbe yonng
oouplo as relios of thoir romantio court
ship. The couple wero engaged a few
weeks after forming aoqnaintanoe and
the marriage Was olaHileatinoly consum
mated during tho temporary absenoo ot
tbe yonng gill's attendant.
The bride is only Bevonteen years of
ago, nud La handsome and accomplished.
Her father is represented os being a very
wealthy merchant. Captain Bradford is
abont thirty years of ago, modest and
minsBuming. Nino years ago he, to
gether with his three brothers, Christ,
Edward and John, established the Life
Guard Station ut Atlantio Oity. Sinoe
that time they have saved 432 lives and
not lost one. A few years ago Christ,
who was a veritable sendog, became par
alyzed in the servioe, and sinoe that time
Miko hns been captain of the crow. The
reoord of the Bradford boys for daring
and bravery in saviug threatened violims
of tbo briny deep is unequalled by any
of tlio life guards on tbe Atlantio ooaat.
Captain Bradford was offered a posi
tion in the Oovernment life guard ser
vice but deolined it, preferring tho vol-
nntoer sendee, which has not at all been
remnnerative during the past few years.
Captain Bradford will remain on duty
during tbe remainder of tbe present
season, after whioh he will return to
Pittsburg with bis brido.
A Qtiocr Way to Sell Beer.
A pnrty who went fishing from Wash
ington several dnys ago had an amusing
experience in getting some beer near tho
edge of Montgomery connty, Md. Thoy
were directed to a store where beer wns
kept, and the merchant said he 1 had
somo bottles on ico. Two bottles wero
called for. He produced them, and said
to the person ordering the beor, "Come
on." Tbe mercbnnt passed out of his
store, beer in hand, followed by tbe
wondering Washingtonian. Two or
three liuudred yards were traversed, nnd
just as tho puzzled auglcr was beginning
to think lie bad struck a madman the
merohant stopped, handed over tho beer
and named bis price. When tho money
was paid him, he said:—"Yon see, local
option prevails in Montgomery county,
and I havo brought yon over the line
into Frederick county, where there is
no law against selling liqnor." The
eonple returned to the store, where the
merohant produoed glasses, saying that
there was no objection to drinking tlie
beer on his premises, sinoe it had not
beon sold within the county.
Tlio merchant positively refused to
sell any boor unloss tbo party wanting
it would nooompany him across the
county line. Ho owns a large farm as
well as tho store, and spei.kiug of looal
option he snid: —"It's a good law and I
won’t violate it." His neighbors testified
Hint he rigidly adhered to this rulo of
crossing tbe county line, even when Ids'
regular customers were purchasers,—
Washington Star.
The Jfext Yote.
Calculating that the population of the
country iu November wifi be 57,720,000,
the Boston Jieacon says; If this figure
be oorreot, and if tho vote of 1884 bo
relatively the some as in 1880 and 1876
tbe number of ballots cast at tho presi
dential eleotion of 1884 will bo 10,597,-
892. As tbo immigration of the last few
years lias been very strong, and as somo
of tbe older Statos do not allow any ono
to vote except full oitizens duly regis
tered, it may bo safe to assume that the
aotual vote will be about 10,600,000.
Bnt the number of males twenty-one
years old or older is very muoh larger.
In 1880 a population of ‘60,165,783 bad
12,830,349 males of the voting age. On
tho samo basis, a population of 57,720,-
000 will have about 14,765,000 males of
the voting age. Roughly, then, bnt
about three-fourths of our adult males
vote for President, nnd perhaps 12,600,-
000 might vote, were not about 2,000,000
prevented by aoaidents, sickness or
apathy.
Stock.—Tho owners of large stock
farms find it more profitable to raise
hogs that grow rapidly rather than
those that fatten easily. Western pork
in oonsequonce, is beooming younger
ana leaner.
