"I want to make it a thoroughly fit place for a gentleman to live in.” "Oh. then you mean to rent it, do you?” said the inquirer, in a sarcastic
way.
HIS BLUFF FINALLY CALLED Union Pilot's Shrewd Scheme Brought to End by What Might Be Called
Hard Luck.
During the Civil war there was a mysterious boat that liked to travel tin* Mississippi river. Her name was the Ued Cloud. Her Ohio owners hud turned her over to the Northern army. She was used to gel supplies from the southern ports. Sin tiew the Union tlug while in upper waters, mid when she reached the dividing line she hoist-
ed the Confederate flag.
When eiiidlenged, her pilot, Hatnp Thornton, would shout tiaek the mime of some built lie knew hud been given permission by tin* ('onfederates to run that partieular night. Always a!) lights Were mu. Ii was said the pilot knew j the river so well he could steer to New 1

One night, however, near Vicksburg, a -hip lying in harbor raced out to * challenge the Ited Cloud. Her eaptnin enlled out the name of the very -ti'iimer challenging him. Information was sent to tin* Confederate ollicers at Vicksburg, arid when tin* Red Cloud passed the butteries she was tired upon anil set afire.

Not That They Hrve Any Objection to Slumber in Itself, but That They Reject the Abject Surrender Involved. One nf the eliiiraeti rs 1 in "The Moon and Sixpence" remarked that be hnd ! faithfully lived up to the old precept about doing every day two things you hourtlly dislike; for. '.aid lie, every day he had gait tip and he luu! gone to bed. Il is a sad thing Ihiit a- 'null a' Hie hands of the cluck have turned ten the shadow of going to tn-d begin' to creep over tin* evening. Wo have never heard bedgoing spoken of with any enthusiasm. one after another we have seen a gathering dl'perse, cneh person saying (with an air of solemn resignation): "Well. I guess I’ll go to bed.” But there was no hilarity I about it. It I- really rather touching ; how they cling to the departing skirts of the day Unit is vanishing under the spinning shadow of night. Tills Is odd, we repeat, for sleep is highly popular nmotig human beings. The reluctance to go to one’s couch is not at all a rcliielanee to slumber, for almost nil of us will doze happily in iin armchail' or on a sola, or even festooned tin the floor with a couple of i usliions. But the actual and formal yielding to sheets and blankets is to lie postponed to the last possible mo-
ment.
The devil of drowsiness is most potent, we find, about 10:110 p. tn. At this period the human cHfeass seem* to consider that it bus Up is lied its cycle, which begun wllli so much courage about 10 hours before. It begins to slack and the mind baits on a dead center every now and then, refusing to complete the revolution. Now. there are those who hold tliut this is certainly the seemly and appointed time to go to bed, and they do so as a null ter of ronliue. These are, commonly, the happier creatures, for they take the tide of sleep at the lluod and are borne calmly and with gracious gentleness out to greet waters of nothingness. They push off from the wharf on a trauquU current, and nothing more is to lie seen or heard of these voyagers until they reappear at the breakfast table, digging lustily into the grapefruit. These penpl sire happy, aye, in a brutish and sedentary fashion, but they miss Die admirable adventures of thi*c more embittered yvresllers who will not give in without a struggle. These latter suffer severe pangs between 10:110 iiml about 11 :1-i. while they grapple with their failing faculties iiud -cck tn re-establish the will on os tottering throne. This requires courage, stout valor unbending. Once you yield, he it ever so little to the tempter, you are lost. And here our poor herd’s clay plays us false, undermining the Intellect with many a trick and wile. “I will sit down for a season in that: com- I fnrtalile ehalr.” the creature says to j himself, "ami read this sprightly novel. That will ease tuy tnlnd and • pul me in Inttnor for M coniitiuani*e ' of Hvcly thinking." And Die end of that man is a steady nazal buzz from the bottom of the chair, where he has collapsed, an unsighlly object and a disgrace to humanity. This also means a big hill from the electric light compiiny sit ; ml of Die In tunny such ways will his corpus betray him, lead ing him by plausible self-deceptions Into a pitfall nf-sleep, whence he Is nronsed about throe a. in., when Die planet turns mi r on the other s|i|o. - Boston * ilohe.
