O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN I

O captain, rjiy captain, our fearful trip is done The ship »s weathered every rack the prize we sought is won The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all t-xultiny:, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring.

But, O heart, heart, heart! Oh, the blooding drop* of red Where on the deck my captain lies,

Fallon cold and dead.

0 captain, my captain, rise up and hear tho bells Ri.se for you the Hag is flung, for you the

Lugle trills,

For you bouquets and ribboned wreaths, for you the shores a-cro\vding, For you they call, the swaying ma-ss, the eager faces turning.

Here, captain, dear father, This urm beneath your head! It is some dream that on the deck

You've fallen cold and dead.

3Iy captain does not answer. His lips are pale and still. 3Iy father does not fec my arm. He lias no pulse nor will. The ship is anchored safe and sound, its voyage dosed and done. From fearful trip the victor ship come3 In, {•/, its object Won.

E.ailt, O shores, and rinjr, O bells, But I with mournful tread Walk the deck my captain lies,

Fallen cold and dead. —Walt Whitman.

PARALYZED.

My emotions—meaning by that those feelings of the heart which tend to make a man see all women as the only perfection of creation, and some one woman as the aggregated perfection of all women—my emotions, as I was about to pay when I interrupted myself, are utterly paraly/ed and have been since the 1-ith day of last- September at !.*» minutes after J1 o'clock a. m.. eastern time.

At that hour and for several hours previously I was iu the act of spending my summer vacation at a delightfully quiet and retired resort on the Atlantic coast, whore also, among a number of other fortunates, were Miss Ruth Allen, Miss Myrtle Morton—such a sweet name that. I used to think!—and Jack Foster, the bane my existence and the paralyser of my emotions.

Foster was a dashing fellow, while I was merely a dashed fellow, and because of that possibly I was less fortunate in my he:irt affairs than I10 was. In any event, I never loved a dear gazelle, as the poet hits it. I believe, but some day, sooner or later, the nervy Foster came that way and chose her for his mate, the result of which invariably was that I lost her.

Several times during the summer I had, for these depredations of his, beeu tempted to drown liim, for I was a fine sailor and he wasn't, though he often went out with me, because, as he said, he felt safe in my hands, and he had a large life insurance policy in addition. Then he would laugh at his time tried and fire tested insurance joke, and all the girls would laugh also.

Bah! The idiots, to laugh at an old chestnut like that! A cocoanut was equally as funny and much larger.

However, as time moved on .Tack gave mo a chance, and. left to my own devices, it was not a great while before I was paying undivided attention to Miss Allen md Miss Morton. These two were my choice, and one, I felt sure, would be chosen, but as yet I had not determined which one.

The time for decision came at u?t, though, for my month was nearly up, and 0:1 that sweet September morn I had an engagement, to go walking with Miss Allen. I felt that, morning that she was the one woman of all women for me, and I asked her to go with me, so that I might have an opportunity to ask her a far more important question. I am sure that she knew my purpose, for I had ni' ire th once almost told her what, was in my heart. "Miss Ruth," I said as we strolled along the shore returning to the hotel, "may I ask you a question:" "Certainly, Mr. Bryting," she replied as sweetly as a girl could reply or a bird could sing. "It is not an every day question," I said as a slight preparation to her, "but one if great importance to me. "It isn't a conundrum, is it':" she asked nervously. "For I ha'.c conundrums. "Yes. it is." I answered. "At least it is about something I don't want to give up.

There wa- n't anything funny in that, but I laughed at it and she joined in it, giving me to that extent an addition to my courage. "Well, you don't have to give it up," she said. "You surely can answer your own conundrum. .... ,, A

Aot tms one, I fear. "Goodness it. must be a hard one. Don't ask me. I'm sure I can't answer it." "Yes, you can," I insisted. "You know," and I became serious, "you know, Miss Ruth, that for some time past I have been thinking of you a great deal, more, indeed than I should have done, for there was so much uncertainty iu it all. I have been thinking of this very moment, and of. you, and of what I should say to you and how I should say it, to win the answer I desired above ull things earthly." "Well, but what is your conundrum?" Miss Allen asked. "Simply this, Will you be my wife':" I said, dropping on one knee in the sand. "(xoodness! I can answer that easily enough. No. I cannot'marry you.

The unhesitating way in which she spoke made me almost hopeless, yet I persisted.

But you could learn," I deaded there in the sand—fool that I was to think that a woman could learn to marry a linin 1 Whoever heard of such a tiling? "No, "she said, "I could not learn for—for—for"— "Don't finish the sentence,"I said bitterly as I rase from my devotional attitude. "Don't finish it, pray. I know vou will say that you love another, and that utterly precludes your taking lessons under my instructions. Of course, I went on, brutally enough, I'm sure, "it would have been utterly impossible for you to have prevented me from mak-

JSBiSi

ing the fool of mv I have, and I absolve you from any connivance in the matter. May I ask as an epilogue to this comedy that you will tell me who the happy man is that I may congratulate him?"

Her eyes blazed, and her cheeks reddened, and how pretty she was as she looked at me as an angry queen might look upon an offending subject! "Mr. Bry ting, "she said scornfully, "I had hoped to spare you pain and had thought to say goodby to you after this pleasant holiday by the sea as friends

say goodby, with sorrow in every note,

but now I shall say goodby with unfeigned pleasure, and in parting will feel a peculiar delight in telling you that the happy man is your friend Mr. Foster, and that he asked me only yesterday to be his wife, and I took this walk with you to tell you so and did not do so because, as you are well aware, you took up all the time at my disposal with the absurdly important question you had to ask me.':

What further remarks she might have made I have no means of knowing, but they would no doubt have gone much further, for in an angry woman's game with language she plays without limit, but fortunately for my self esteem we were startled at that moment by the shouts of a party coming over a sand hill to our left, and by the time we had made a rapid change in our outward I show of temper the crowd was upon us. They had come out in search of us to join a party for a sail, and among the searchers were Mr. Foster and Miss Morton. Under the circumstances it was not I a difiicult matter for Miss Allen and myself to effect an interchange of escorts, and I accompanied Miss Morton back to the hotel, leaving Miss Allen to the tender mercies of her fiance.

As Miss Morton and I followed in the wake of the returning procession I made myself particularly gay, and she seemed to appreciate me more than she had ever done. "What a color you have today, Mr. Bryting!" she exclaimed as she looked at me with admiring eyes.* "I wasn't aware of it, really," Ireplied, with culpable lack of truth in my words, for I knew I must be flushed after what I had just gone through, notwithstanding the fact that I could feel my face burning as if I had been standing in the hot sun bareheaded. "Well, you have." she continued. "and it makes you handsomer than I ever saw you before. "Possibly," I said, speaking slowly and with evident feeling, "it is because the full sunshine of your kindliness has never shone on me before and given me its radiance.'' "Oh," she exclaimed, "this is perfectly delicious! You talk just like a charaeter in a noveL .V. "Is it novel for a man to love a beau- 1 tiful woman?" I asked, looking squarely into her eyes, and thinking how much prettier than Miss Allen she was. "Arc you iu love?" she asked, with charming naivete.

At this moment, we were a hundred yards or more behind the party, and it was five minutes after 11 o'clock a. m. "Oh, Myrtle," I said, with a fervor I did not think I was capable of, "don't you know that I am in love, and don't you know with win m: Haven't you seen every day for weeks that you held my heart in thrall, and that you were its queen? Don't you know. Myrtle, that I have been waiting for and wishing and hoping for the propitious time when I could tell you this? Now, I am soon to go back to my work, to the dark and dismal town, and before I go won't you give me your heart to take the place of mine yon have taken away, that its light may make sunshine along all the paths of the future my footsteps may fall I upon: Tell me. Myrtle, tell me?" And in my wild ardor I caught her hand in mine and kissed it. "Oh," she exclaimed, snatching it, away, "don't do that! "THy'll see us.'' "What, do J. care?" I replied. "An honest love fears no criticism." "I know. I know," she stammered. "but you ninsn't talk love to me. I can't listen to you now. .Tack Foster and I are engaged. He aslced lae yi sterday jind we are to be married in Decernher.''

And it was 15 minutes after 11 o'clock a. 111.—Exchange.

A I/uir From Uarsviile.

A farmer living near Pulaski, v.iiile out v." a Iking' across liis farm one day hat. winter, shot a partridge, and on crossing the Shenango where the bird fell he stooped to pick it up, when something warm and of a mucilaginous consistency fell upon his head. This he soon found was honey, and examination discovered that the bullet from his gun had penetrated a bee tree after parsing through the partridge. He returned to the house and secured three large tubs and two milk pails, till of which he filled with honey.

While securing the honey he noticed a peculiar movement of the tree, which seemed to expand and subside at intervals. Passing to the other side, a wide seam was apparent, and

the tree was hollow. Prom this he succeeded in extracting coons, which had taken up winter quarters therein, the peculiar movement of the tree having been caused by the united breathing of the coons.

Nor was this all of his remarkable adventure, fcrr on tit tempting to cross the river the ice gave way, and he was obliged to swim for a short distance. When he arrived at his home, lie had about 45 bass in his coat pockets, and a few liad found lodgment in his boots.— New Wilmington (Pa.) Globe.

A Question of Kxpcuso.

"How will you have your eggs cooked?" asked the waiter. "'Make any difference in the cost of I 'em?" inquired the cautious customer with the brim less hat and tided beard, "No." "Then cook 'em with a nice shco o' ham," raid the customer, greatly relieved.—Clr'cago Trjibune.

THE 5 O'CLOCK TEA TABLE.

P.i.r^ge^tioRs For Its Tasteful and Fashionable Fitment.

A correspondent asks: for information concerning the proper fitting of a 5 o'clock tea table.

Beginning with the tablo itself, it may bo a email oval, circular or hexagon shape. Anyone of these is preferable to a square one. Tables are shown in shops I tiiat are provided with small leaves, or arms, a few inches wide, to open out in nil directions. Such are not especially commended. Their effect is not as good as pieces of furniture, and they perform their office in rather an uncertain manner. Even four or five persons surrounding such a table endanger its freight, a slight jostle being sufficient to overturn a cup or plato

011

one of its frailly sup-

ported arms. If the surface of the table is highly polished, and it is preferred not to cover it entirely, a handsome square or round centerpiece doily, which is only a dinner centerpiece, is used, or a teacloth a yard square may prettily and wholly veil it. The Dresden designs are not so much in vogue as they were. Our unhappy fashion of doing everything to death, whether it be Dresden, Trilby or empire effects, has worked its inevitable reaction, and the powdering of linen with gay little blossoms is not much countenanced. Anything that is well done, however, remains beautiful, aud those who have fine pieces of such needlework should let them see the light frequently. In planning a new cloth some later design may be employed,

For the actual impedimenta of the tabio there one required a tea caddy, a hot water kettle, a cozy, a wafer or cracker dish, two or three pretty cups and suucers, cream jug and sugar bowl,

A flagon for alcohol is sometimes enumerated, but this and a spoon basket are like the tables with leaves—elaborating a function whose simplicity is its warrant. The alcohol should bo put in the lamp out of the room. It is often attended with a little spilling, and it is much better to have the lamp ready for lighting beforehand. The tea caddv ought to bo of silver

011

a handsome

table it. is. It should have a measuring cover, this little distinction being one that those "in the know" insist upon. To measure tho tea with a spoon is not considered quito so correct and so redolent of the old time flavor as to use the cup cover of tho caddy, "one. fill to a brew." A glass mat may be provided to set tho hot teajiot upon, and the spoons nro laid loose upon the tablo. These, by the way, as well as tho cups, should be usable ones. In the days of souvenir spoons the rage for variety begot some curious travesties of these useful tablo implements.

O110

learned that superintendents of workhouses, 135 as

felt grateful

if one was not offered a perforated bowl, so twisted and grotesque and abnormal were the changes rung upon tea and coffeo spoons. Cups should hold more than an actual thimbleful, though thev need not hold a jnnt, and should bear some relation to the laws of gravitation in their poise upon tho saucer. They should have a smooth rim. A fluted edge is a most uncomfortable finish for a drinking vessel.. Tho wafer basket may be silver, china or cut glars, with again a preference for silver. A tiny ornamental vase or dish may hold matches.

It seems almost needless to add the cautiou that a parlor tea tablo should be kept, in a state of irreproaehablo cleanliness, but- the experience, onco or twice encountered, of having a seum of dust rise on tea offered during a call on another than the hostess' regular day at homo aroused tho suspicion that some parlor tea tables are. kept—like some parlor bric-a-brac—dusted only on company days.—New York Times.
