If the whole world wasn't them.

For his watchword was salvation. And he seemed to Had a spark Of a soul in every sinner

Though they strove to keep it dark. Till one day, death's band upon him, His fierce ardor seemed to breakLaid him low in the poor attic

He had lived in for our sake. Cr.mo a night when we stood watching Two or three atooat him there— Suddenly ho bid us bear him

Just to breathe the cool night air. So wo took the dying captain To tho window, moving slow For we feared his heart would fall him

At tho evil sight below.

For *twas drawing on to midnight, The New Cut was at its worst, Just a inazo of drunken clamor,

God forsaken and accursed.

And the yellow lamps were flaring High, through thatstrange market place— But there fell another luster

On the captain's wasted face. Ay, and from tho garret window, As he looked into the town. Ho beheld auother city,

Where tho stream of life ran down. And he murmured, looking downward, "In line linen, clean and white, Multitudes which none can number,

CHUCK Eli'S TR0USEBS.

How far it is expedient to convert a railway carringe into a dressing room is a question which would be quickly solved in the negative in continental countries, where guards walk along the footboards and collect tickets while the train is in motion.

But in England a passenger who likes to change his attire in a first class compartment is, as a rule, pretty secure from interruption.

At least so thought Mr. Barnaby Chucker, as he alighted from a hansom at Paddington and rushed across the platform, holding a railway rug and a carpet bag, which contained a complete change of raiment—to wit, dress clothes.

Mr. Chucker had received an invitation to dine at Windsor, with some friend of influential position, but being a busy man he had not found time to dress at his office in the city or at his chambers at the West End. Stepping into the train he slipped a shilling into the hand of the guard and said: "Keep this compartment I want to dress." "Ail right, sir," answered the guard, and the next moment the train started.

Mr. Chucker then unlocked his carpet bag and drew out a clean shirt, with other equipments necessary to his bodily adornment.

It must not be supposed that he did this without reluctance, for he was a great stickler about all the proprieties of life. He objected to seeing things out of season. If he had caught his best friend changing his pantaloons in a railway carriage he would have thought meanly of him for being of disorderly habits, and so now he judged himself with a candid severity for not having better regulated his own time. "If an accident occurred." mused he, as ho removed his coat and waistcoat, "I wonder what would be thought of me for being half undressed in a train?"

This reflection made him redden. He was a shy, middle aged man, with Jarge red ears and a fat, florid face. The effect of pulling off his boots always suffused his countenance with crimson, aud it did so now, insomuch that, what with the color that came from physical exertion and that which resulted from a troubled conscience, Mr. Barnaby Chucker looked truly distressed. Having removed his boots, he denuded himself of his trousers. This was a trying moment, for if an accident had happened then! "Why, why, dear me!" ejaculated Mr. Chucker at this stage of his cogitations, "I think the train—no, it cannot be—is stopping."

The train was stopping in effect., as Mr. Chucker might have foreseen that it would do, since he was hot traveling by express but he had been so enwrapped in his self upbraiding thoughts that he had not even noticed the first slackening of the engine's speed.

He now found himself in the midst of a very disreputable litter of clothes, and with no time to redress himself before the train stopped.

He had to decide hastily whether he would steam alongside Ealing platform in his shirt sleeves or minus hi3 pantaloons.

He chose wisely in huddling on his coat, which he buttoned up, while he covered his lower man with his railway rug. This done, he collected as many of his belongings as ho could into his bag, kicked his boots under a seat and tried to look dignified.

The train had come to a standstill now, and a guard opened tho door of tho carriage in which our hero was sitting and cried: "There's room here, sir, for you and this lady." "Ili, guard!" exclaimed Mr. Chucker, leaning out in horror, "you told me I should have this compartment to myself."

Unfortunately for our modest friend tho guard to whom he had given the shilling was not the one appointed to travel with tho train. These little mistakes often occur and lead to unpleasant consequences.

The present guard said bluntly: "I can't give you a compartment'to yourself unless you pay for it, sir. It's against the rules. Here, madam, step in, please."

A lady who looked ia very delicate health got into the carriage ,:i:d a gentleman with her. Mr. Barnaby Cluickev felt ready to swoon. I Mo

re

he could inform the guard

of his readiness to pay for a whole compartment sooner than have his privacy intruded upon, the train was off again, an! Mr. Chucker fell to reflecting how he should effect lus change of carriages at Blough, now that he was in no fit state to step on to a platform. The train in which he traveled was not bound straight for Windsor, but for Birmingham, and Mr. Chucker would have to change at Slougli If ho wished to dine with his friends that evening.

Alas! a more urgent difficulty than that Involved iu a change of carriages soon presented itself to him, for no sooner bad tbo '/Tain started than the iady wao had just Btepped in began to moan and to shiver, saying that she felt cold all over. Her husband sought to quiet her, but it was r11 of no use, for she w»3 really ill. At last the poor man looked in despair at Mr. Chucker, and politely said: "Excuse mo for taking a groat llhovfcy, sir, but would you bo BO kiad as to lend my wife your ruz? Wo startsd in a hnrrv

and forgot to bring one. As it is not a cold day, perhaps you would not mind obliging us as far as Slough, where I shall be able to buy a rug." "Eh?" grunted Mr. Chucker, stupefied.

The request completely staggered him, and he could find no words in which to reply. "Would you kindly lend this lady your rug?" repeated the gentleman, rather astonished. "Hool" growled Mr. Chucker, in a voice like a bear's. It had just occurred to him that the safest way out of his difficulties would .be to sham being mad.

A Frenchman would have quietly beckOlicd the gentleman to the other side of tlie qgkxiage and would have explained the diorama with a laugh.

But Englishmen are persons full of niceness, and Mr. Chucker dared not confess to a perfect stranger that he had no trousers on.

Ho repeated "Hool" two or threo times over, and his stratagem succeeded perfectly, for both his fellow passengers became convinced that they were traveling with a lunatic.

The lady began to scream. Her nerves, were so nnstrungthat they could not stand this extra shock. And Mr. Chucker made things worse by the fixity with which he ktared at her. The gentleman armed himself with an umbrella to protect his wife.

Mr. Chucker, entering into tho spirit of his part, caught up his own umbrella and brandished it.

The travelers were in their attitude of vigilance nnd menace when the train onco more slackened speed and Han well was reached.

Instantly the gentleman jumped out on the oil sido of the line, so as not to pass Mr. Chucker, and helped out his wife, whose screams had by this time given place to a fit of shivering.

Mr. Chucker thought himself well ,rid of his mess, for the train would go on again, and he should he able to complete his dressing. By way of insuring privacy for the remainder of his journey ho began by pulling the carriage blinds down.

Alas! he was nob to get off so easily. Already there was a commotion on the platform.

The husband of tho fainting lady had explained matters to the station master some porters and guards had overheard him, and a rumor was circulated that there was a lunatic on the train. Some passengers, poking their heads out of the carriage windows, protested against traveling in the company of a man who might commit some mad act—set the train on fire, throw himself out, or emit awful noises. The station master was obliged to pacify these murmurs by striding toward the alleged maniac's carriage. The all unconscious Mr. Chucker was rudely aroused by the door being suddenly opened and a gruff voice exclaiming:/ "Now, sir, whap's the matter with you?" "Nothing's—the—the—matter with me," stammered Mr. Chucker. "What should there be?" But, so saying, he hngged his robe closer to him with a guilty look. "Would you mind stepping out, sir?" "Why should I? My ticket is for Windsor." "Change here for Windsor, sir," responded the guard, who was quite convinced by this time that he had a queer character to deal with. "Well, man, since you put me to it, I've no trousers on," confessed Mr. Chucker, lowering his voice whereupon the station master echoed in amazement: "No trousers!" and tho crowd behind caught up the words, "No trousers!" "He's t.hrowed 'em out," suggested a porter. "Pe: haps he had none on when he got into tLj train?" suggested the station master. "Of course I had, man. I've two pair with'me now. Let me alone, that I may put one on," faltered Mr. Chucker, intimidated and disgusted by the sight of so many people staring at him.

But while he was speaking, some low churl, seizing a corner of his rug, gavu it a twitch, and abruptly exposed Mr. Chuckler's dishabille to view.

There was a shout of mingled laughter and dismay among the passengers, some of whom, being ladies, deemed it expedient to squeal. "Out you come," roared the blushing station master in a paroxysm of indignation, and he clutched Mr. Chucker by the wrist. "Well! but—-but—let me d—dress first," pleaded the victim, as he felt not only his arms but his legs in the grasp of different hands. lie made a short struggle, but this did not improve his position, for his resistance was ascribed to the maniacal outbreak, and emboldened his aggressors to drag him out of the carriage feet foremost. He tumbled out in a heap, and was then carried across the platform, kicking and roaring in the sight of a hundred pairs of astonished or amused eyes. "Oh!" exclaimed the young h: lies as he passed. "Poor man!" cried some old ones. "Hi! Fetch tho police!" chorused some of the porters.

Ten minutes later, when Mr. Chucker had been conveyed, under strong escort, to the station muster's room, and had been suffered to don his pantaloo'is, he contrived to get a hearing and to explain how all the trouble had arisen. "Well, but why didn't you tell us this before?" cried the nonplussed station master. "Because you wouldn't listen to me, you beast!" screamed Mr. Chucker. "Well, you've missed your train and your dinner,." said the station master, "and that'll be a lesson to you." "Lesson of what?" asked Mr. Chucker, exasperated. "Lesson—why—why—lesson not to take off one pair of breeches until you've put the other on, and that for decency's sake, sirl" answered tho station master sternly, formulating an axiom which sounded well, though perhaps, like some othor maxims propounded by worldly philosophy, it was not easy to follow.—London Truth.

Tho Water Cure.

A Vernon street man frequently starts a lire iu his back yard as a means of getting rid of rubbish and leaves. As his back yard adjoins the side of another house, the smoke fills this, much to the annoyance of tho occupants. One morning he started his fire, and the smoke rose gracefully and circulated through the house, the mistress of which opened the window and said, "Good morning," at the tame time throwing a pailful of water upon the flames. Before the man had time to recover his surprise tho lady living upstairs followed suit with another pail of water. The bonfire man fled au '. didn't renew the fire.—Springfield Ilomtajtead.

IDDAL PERSONALITY.

A QUEER STORY TOLD BY PROFESSOR WILLIAM JAMES.

The \^ondcrful CAM of Man Who WM Somebody Else for Two Months—When Hypnotised He Could Recall Every Detail of His Experience.

Professor William James describes a case of double personality of the so called ambulatory type, the investigation of which he has just concluded.

The subject is a man, now about 60 years of age, residing in a small place near Pawtucket, R. I. This person was a carpenter until 1357, when, by a strange visitation of Providence, ho was induced to adopt altogether different habits of life. He had been an atheist. One day, while walking in the open country, he thought he heard a voice saying: "Go to the chapel, go to the.chapel." "To what chapel?" he inquired of his invisible monitor. "To the Christian chapel," was the reply.

Now the carpenter was on unfriendly terms with the minister of tho Christian chapel, and he exclaimed aloud: "Before I go to that place I hope God may strike mo deaf, dumb and blind."

Instantly he fell to the earth, enveloped in darkuess and silence, and without the power of speech.

The events which followed, !is Professor James said in telling this part of tho story, were such as generally occur, in cases of the same sort, which are frequent in religious history. Suffice it to say that the events culminated in the man's iv oration to his senses, in his cbuvei-sio'- his adoption of the vocation oirant preacher.

For thirty years he follow:^ ...ling, doing a great deal of missionary .. u-k, and becoming well known over a lar.w area of New York state and western New KnglancL

Early in 1837 he had abandoned his preaching, being advanced iu years and desirous of living more quietly, and had taken up again his old trade of carpentering. His health was still good, and he worked twelve or thirteen hours a day in preference to nine or ten.

In what follows it is well to remember Professor James' assurance of his conviction that tho man in question is sincere, free from deception and a genuine subject of strange physical phenomena.

THE CANDY MERCHANT.

One day, while'living at Greene, R. I.,be suddenly disappeared from home. Every effort was made to find him, but to no avail. He was completely lost.

Two months later, in Norristown, Pa., a man named Brown, who kept a little candy store, woke up in the middle of the night and found himself in a strange place. TTfe bed was strange, thei room in which he lay was strange, and the shop into which he groped his way was so unfamiliar that he became thoroughly alarmed. Fearing he would be taken for a burglar he cried for help. The neighbors rushed out in the night and discovered Brown, the candy merchant, in an unaccountable state. "Where am I? Who am I? Who are you?" he cried, in great perturbation.

They thought their neighbor must have suddenly gone crazy. When told that his name was Brown he denied it, aud gave as his name that of the erstwhile preacher and carpenter of Rhode Island.

The village doctor was called upon for advice. He saw in the case something different from ordinary mania, but still he thought it was mania. However, he communicated with Brown's nlleged relatives in Rhode Island, and, to be sure. Brown's assertions concerning himself were found to bo true.

But Brown now had no recollection of his experience in the candy store, nor did he know how he got there or how he left Rhode Island.

The case became noised abroad and was investigated' by a Philadelphia physician, but with no results.

All that was known was that the man had been away from home two months, six weeks of which he had spent at Norristown, but the remaining fortnight was a blank to him and could be explained by nobody, else.

In the course of time the circumstances reached the notice of Professor James. The man was now again at home, peaceably pursuing his trade of carpenter. The professor visited him and found him to be a hard headed, matter-of-fact Yankee. After considerable persuasion he was induced to come to Cambridge and be hypnotized. The professor thought that in a hypnotic trance the man might remember his Brown experience. And so he did. This is the most valuable phase of tho phenomenon from a physical point of view.

WHEN HYPNOTIZED.

He was very readily hypnotized, and as soon as ho passed into the trance began to talk of Norristown and the candy store. He also explained those two weeks that had been up to this time a mystery to everybody. While prosaic enough, his account was perfectly circumstantial. Having conceived a notion that some trouble was in store for him at home, he-got on a horse car one day and rode to Pawtucket, proceeded thence to New York, stopped one night at tho Grand Union hotel, went on to Philadelphia, put up a couple of nights at a hotel and then took a room at a boarding house.

While there, seeing an advertisement of a small business for sale in Norristown, he went to that place, which he had never visited beforo, and set himself up in trade.

Such wus his story when he was in tho hypnotic state, and iu that state he could remember nothing of his former or normal condition. On the other hnnd, while in his waking state ho had no recollection of his Brown experience subsequent to his boarding the horse car to ride to Pawtucket, nor could he tell why he started on this trip.

His Brown personality was, as Professor James put it, a weak) Insipid, diluted extract .of his normal personality. In the two stales ho was two entirely different men.

At home he posed as an honest man, and had taken the thirty-second degree in Masonry. His partners were his wife, known as Little Nell, and a crook known as
