tenth night, just after midnight, the awful

crash and shook took place iv sensation no one who has not felt it can imagine in the least and we knew that the Antarctic had struck.

It's a fearful thing, if you come to think

of it, a peat steamer filled with living souls in the full flow of life and health, and in ojMJMMkettt the call coming to eaqhof them to die. Before you could have struok a match the' whole ship was in a panic cries, tenor, confusion, agony. Oh, it was awful!

I began life as the son cf a village carpenter in the south of England. Yon know that class pretty well, I dare say, and

what a gulf was placed between me and the vicar of the parish. And. yet and yet

from the time she was 7 years old, and I 11, and she fell down in the dusty road out

side of the carpenter's shop, and cried, and

I picked her up, and smoothed the little

crumpled pinafore, and kissed the dust out of her golden curls, I loved but one girl in

the world, and that was the vicar s (taught er, Winny Brans me.

and vet a man rs but a man, and a woman

a woman: and love comes, whatever one

may do. There's no class distinction re

cognized by childhood, and we were play

mates and friends till she went to boarding

school. If Miss Winny had had a mother,

no doubt things would have been very dinVrent; bat we were alike in never hav

ing known a Oman's ears, and the old

vicar was blind to everything but his theo logical treatises.

She grew soarlec a rush of color that dyed heir fair, sweet face then deathly

"Wak," she said, and she trembled from head to foot,"Tou know it can never, never be, you know you are wrong to even dream

of such a thing. Some girls would think it an insult I know you better; but if my father heard of this, he would say you had abused his kindness to yon; he would never

she ran from me.

I let her go. I had seen the blush and the tremor, and I guessed that if I had been

Mr. Loftos. the young Squire, instead of

Dfck Hawkins, the carpenter's son, her an.

ewer might have been different. A great

resolve sprang up in my soul, and I took a

solemn vow in those June woods. That

Tory night I sold the old shop (my father

was dead, and I had taken to the business),

and with the money I bought an outfit and

started straight for Canada. It was pretty tough work at first, but I worked like a

oallev-slave. starved and pinched and

saved, and never spent a penny on myself except for the books I sat up half the night

Ui t-.u. and study. Well, in this count the man rho works and doesn't drink is

bors thoug ht my good fortune had turned

my brain, for I fitted it up and furnished

it for a hv'y, down to s little rocking-chair

by my study-table, and a w ode-basket

with a tiny gold thimble in it. And when

t that was finished, I took the first ship

for Liverpool.

Ten years builds a city over here. It

people who were just off to Canada, and

The Liverpool express never seemed to

I was as strong as ahorse, and

active enough, and though the Captain eyed

me rather askance I had been to a west

my sailor's jersey and cap. I wondered if she would know me. I forgot the danger we were in, forgot that death was waiting close at hand, forgot that the world held

anyone but just her and me.

"Sick!" she cried, "oh, Dick, Dick!" and

die fell forward in a dead faint on my

shoulder.

All my senses came back then, and I

threw her over my arm and ran for the deck.

A great furlined cloak had be.n dropped by

the door of the ladies' cabin. There was

no light, but I stumbled over it as I ran. snatched it up and carried it with me.

Up above all was in the wildest chaos;

the boasts over-filled and pushing off; the

ship settling rapidly; people tihouting, cry

ing, swearing. One hears tuls of calm

ness ana courage on en erougn at sucu times, which makes one's heart glow as one reads them; but there was not such hero

ism shown in the wreck of the Antarctic,

The captain behaved splendidly, and so

did some of the passengers, but the ma

jority of them and the crew were mad with

terror and lost their heads altogether.

I saw there was not a chance for tbe

over-crowded boats in that sen and I sprang

for the riircrinir. I was not second too

soon; a score of others followed my exam

ple and with my precious burden I should

not have bad a chance two minutes later.

As it was, I scrambled to th topmast and

a firm hold there. Winny was nst

coming- to herself. I had wrapped her

round like a baby in the fur cloak and with

my teeth I opened my knife to cut a rope

which bung loose within reach. With this I lashed her to me and fastened us both to the topmast The ship sank gradually; aha did not keel over or I should not be telling yon tbe story; she fettled down,

just her deck above water, but the great

seas washed over it every second and swept

it clean. The boats had gonn!

Did yon notice that I limp a little? I shall walk lame as long as I live. Sometimes

there was a splash in the black water be

low, as some poor fellow's stiffened hold relaxed and he fell from his place in the rigging. There was not a breath of wind, nothing but the bitter, bitter fog. How long could we hold out? Where were we?

How long would the ship m before she

broke up? Would it be by drowning or by freezing? We asked ourselves these ques

L.4ZIXKS8. Laziness is a libel on nature. It is productive in life, and dies hard. The devil is the only counsel in its

def use.

It is content with the efforts of its an

cestors.

It is the only successful persecution

I know of.

It is preferable to lioentonsness, brj.t

that's about all.

A lazy person is an avoidant and

ought to be born again.

Laziness don't seem even to get up

to tbwrdiffnityvof am. -

When inherited it is as hard to rise

above as to climb a greased pole.

' A lazy man is generally worth what

his hide will bring, and no more.

I don't believe that Heaven blesses a

lazy man once in a thousand years.

It is hale and hearty far its age, and

does not appear to be going out of fashion.

It trust to luck for an existence,

and luok drums up trade for the poor house.

Next to hot whisky it has dono mono

to degrade humanity than any othur one thing.

It is a curse to humanity, aud never

had but one successful rival the lo

custs of Egypt

When I content myself with a la:sy

person 1 am generally sunering mr something to fondle.

The more I study this subject tlie

more curious 1 am to Know wuat t.ae lazy people are born for anyway.

A lazy man may hunt for a job, but

youll always notice that he misses it just "by the skin of his teeth."

There is, however, one good thng

about laziness, for like "rough on rat," it don't generally hurt anything tut

rats.

After all perhaps it is necessary that

one-half of the world should be lazy that the other half may have a chance to get its graft iu.

Laziness is about as full of day s

work as beans are full of wind, itut it is about as hard to get a day's work out of it as to eat pork and beans and avoid the nightmare that follows.

The devil was the first to get a cor

ner on laziness. He took it on trial for

three weeks and liked it so well that he patented it. Laziness in peoplo is

only an infringement upon this patent

I would favor killing on all lazy peo

ple, only I am afraid that man's in

geuuity would invent something worse

in its stead. It is a wonder to me tiat

they haven't tried to improve on lazi

ness before this. mtt JLatagan, in

and hope lived too.

There is a matter that seems trifling

in itself, but which is of a great deal, of

importance, and which should be leg

islated upon. That is the habit uien

get into, who own dogs, of promising

pups to friends, and never delivering the goods. Shakspeare, in his inspi red

writings, has said, "It is a mean man

that will not promise a pup." Maybe it was not Shakspeare who wrote it, but whoever it was, the saying has become historical, and there are thousands: of men who live up to it, and promise pups recklessly, with no thought of ever fulfilling the promise. There is probably no man who has been promised more pups, and received fewer of tbeni, than the writer of this. If all the paps promised to him in the last twenty years wera in single file, the procession would reach from Milwaukee to San

Francisco, and from there to Alasika, by water, as many of the pups promised have been water spaniels. If all these pups could have been made up :.nto

sausage, the free-lunch counters of the world might be supplied. Some of the men who have promised pups to the writer have died and gone to their

judgment with these unfulfilled piomises, and other sins, on their heads.

Some are living, and are yet addisted to pups, but though we yearn for a pup,

and suffer untold agonies, no pup comes to cool the parched tongue, and we are liable to go down the long vista

of the future, pupless, thundering down the ages with no pup, whf n so

many are due. Peck's Sun.
