WtaAT THE SEA SAYS TO 8ECOB.

Over the sea to Keller and me The wild wave igt and fing sadlee. Dimes and dollars! Dollars and dimes!" It brlrgs back to ra tue good old times, When under the relga ol U. 8. U., Bobber Robberson ruled the tea. Over the tea, the savage sea. The hulks 1 built hare com back to me; In the soft, soft mad they lie merrilee, Their rotten ribs yawning? at miseiable me; The wind howl o'er tuen in suvase glee. And things are not as they used to be. Beyond the lone Jersey sands the sea Is chanting a sad. fcad thernodee; My visions of plunder are fading away. Like the mity dreams of a summer's day. Had It I knock at the Treasury door; liarvn comes the answer back: "Nevermore!" Dimes and dollars! Dollars and dimes! Memories sweet of better times. Come floating; across the past to me. Alas! nevermore shall I rule the sea. For honest men sing right heartlesslee, "Things are not as they used to be." , New York Sun. PAMELA'S FACULTY. I Sophie M. Sweet in Harper's Bazar. I Thev talked over Deacon Semple's death in the sewing circle. It was very sad that he should have died. So suddenly, too, of pneumonia, poor man. But Airs. Calkins, at whose house the society met that week, couldn't help thinking that it would have been a very dull meeting if he had not; for since everybody had found out just why. Luke Judkins .had been obliged to mort gage hi3 farm, and Dr. Saunder'g marriage with his housekeeper and become an old story, there was absolutely nothing to talk about. It was also providential that he should die just after planting: was over, and before haying had begun. lie was growing very deaf, too, and waa always Bhiltless Being a deacon, of course he was prepared, and there was reallv not much u mourn lor, except that now ramely would have to take care of herself and Pamely had no lac ulty. Kuthy Ana could go on keeping school,' a ehe had done for years, and the twin?, luckily, were married. 1 amely was the only one that was ielt unprovided for. Pamely was one of the kind that always was unprovided for the kind that had no I acuity. The farm was all runout; and if it were not, Pamely wouldn't know any better than to expect to raise pumpkins on a pea vine. If she was a farmer's daughter ehe didn't know but what potatoes came up of their own accord, nd weeded and dug themselves. -Urs. I c ha bod .Badger (generally known as Mis' Ichabod) thought it probable that she even supposed that they washed themselves and jumped into the dinner pot. And it was evident that ehe set a sight more of posies than she aid by garden sass. She was itl ways littering up the house with weeds

, and stu3 out of the wooes, ana she drew

pictures when she'd better have been drawing candles or making soap. She took alter the Spencers her mother's folks. One of thera wasn't half witted and wrote verses. and another painted pictures, and never amounted to anything. And 1 amely was headstrong; and she never Eeemed to pay any attention to good advice, fche was always pleasant and amiable about it as could be, but she would go right on in her own way. That was like her father: when they tried to dismiss the Rev. Mr. Caldwell for unsoundness of doctrine. Deacon Semple he wouldn't agree to it. He diin't get exceed and call hard names, as the ethers did, but though they argued and argued, he wouldn't be coavinced. Alia' Ichabod was of the opinion that a committee of ladies ought to call upon Pamely, and advise her to go and keep nouse for old Hiram Hutchinson. He had a large farm and two invalid daughters, one afflicted with spinal disease, and the other with epilepsy ; so 'twas a hard place and of course she would keep everything at sixes and sevens, not having any faculty; but old Hiram was willing to take her, because he was very close, and she wouldn't expect much. And Mis' Hosea Blodgett added that as Hiram was a widower nobody knew what might h-ppen. He was ever fifty, and hard to get along with, but then Pamely couldn't be far from twenty-five, and ought to be willing to make a sacrifice for the sake of a home. Ben Seaverm, who used to keep company with her, had gone off to sea five years before, and ha jl probably got drowned, to saj nothing of being a shiftless good-for-nothing, and surely there was no man in Brimblecom who wanted to marry a girl without faculty. . Before the meeting adjourned Mia' Icha-. bod, Mis' Hosea Blodgett and Misa Nancy Perkins, the postmistress, were appointed a committee to labor wnh Pamely. . There was no doubt about the zeal of the committee. Bright and early the next morning so early, in fact, that the breakfast dishes were not washed in . any town except Brimblecom toe three ladies presented themselves at the front door of Deacon Semple's late residence: front doors were reserved for state occasions in Brimblecom. The committee, after consultation, had decided that this was an occasion which rendered the use of the front door appropriate. Keturah Grant, who had been maid-of-all-work in Deacon Semple's family for half a century, hobbled to the door, and admitted them to the sitting-room; and there was Pamela, with a great bunch of weeds buttercups and clover and white weeds painting, actually painting, at that time in the morning I She wore a high-necked and long-sleeved apron, which was bedaubed with paint, and on her nose was a smirch of bright yellow. The committee with one consent heaved deep sigh. "Seein' Scripter commands us to bo kind to the widow and the fatherless, we thought we'd come' and tell you that old Hiram Hutchinson wants a housekeeper," said Mis' Ichabod, who had been cho-en chief spokesman, in view of the "flow of language" for which she was renowned. Pamela turned an innocent, puzzled face upon Mis' Ichabod a very lovely face, with a pure pale skin, and soft shy brown eyes, though in Brimblecom, where rosy-cheeked beauties were the fashion, they had never thought of calling it so. "On, the widower 1 I couldn't think for the moment what you meant. Poor man ! I am sorry if he can't find one. But nobody could expect me to give up Keturah, surely I She Is growing too old; and she wouldn't leave me, anyway." - The committee looked at each other. Their mission seemed - a somewhat difficult one to perform. Was Pamely so innocent as she looked? Mis' Ichabod had a dreadful suspicion that she was deep, and she resolved not to be daunted. 'We thought you might like the place yourself, seein' you was left so kind of dependent," she said. -IT Oh dear! 1 haven't the least bit of faculty, you know;'' and Parmela laughed merrily. Them that hain't any faculty have got to try to do something, if they don't want to be objicks of charity," said Mis' Ichabod. "I don't think Brimblecom will ever have to take care of me. If it does, I am such a little thing that it won't cost much." TL jre was the suspicion of a flush on Pameli'a cheek and a 'tense look about her mouth that the committee did not observe. They only saw her laugh, and they arose in high dudgeon. "I hope the time won't come when you won't find it a laughing matter," said Mis'

Ilosea Blodgett, who waa determined not to come away without saying anything; that

would be so humiliating to tell of. Oh, I hope not," said Pamela, sweetly. "That was the very worst thing about Deacon bemple you never could make him mad," said Miss Nancy Perkins, . as she opened the gate. And though the other members of the committee wouldn't acknowledge it. Pamela's resemblance to her father in that respect was the thing that they found most aggravating in their interview with her. ' Before they reached their homes they repented that they had not said more, but there was come thing in Pamela's manner that made it seem an impossibility. The committee could not explain it clearly. Pamela bad been quite pleasant and polite, but they didn't care to go again. However, they quite agreed that the matter ought not ". , M15 to rest mere, ana tney were wnung even anxious to go and confer with Mr. Stock bridge, 'the minister, upon the subject. Perhaps he could be induced to advise her, She would not dare to bo so high and mijrhty with the minister. liev. Mr. Stockbridge was a grave and dignified man of nearly forty, who, when he had first come to Brimblecom, ten years before, had had the caps of half the young ladies of his parish persistently set at him They had now, if they had not wholly abandoned the cap-setting, learned to "draw it mildly, lest it were in vain," for the min ister had never shown the lightest signs of being caught, lie seemed somewhat em barrassed when the committee visited him and made known their errand. As 'Mis' Hosea Blodgett f aii in describing the inter view to her friends: "He -kinder turned red, and then he kinder turned white, and he looked all ways for Sunday, jet as if we'd said something that wa'n't proper. And when he said any thing, which wa'n't for as much as a minute, he up and said jest as good as to say that he didn't consider twaa any of his business, But Mb' Ichabod she jest tal-ed and arjrerflied beautiful about how the town would have to take care of her, and bein' her father was a, deacon, the Church ought to doits duty, advisin and labor; n' with her if she was headstrong and stt up, and (he convinced him with a few words that I let fall as 'twas given me to speak and he said he'd go and deal with Pamely accordm' to the best wisdom and judgment that was given him. When she sees him a-comin she'll dowse her peak, for there's nobody in Brimblecom that ain t afraid of the minis ter." ; vvithin a week the committee waited upon the minister to hear the result of his advice to Pamela. It was very hard to find him home; they tried four times before they succeeded. If he bad been anybody but the minister, they could have avoided the painful suspicion that he slipped out of the back door when he saw them coming. And when at last they did find him at home, his report was not altogether satisfactory. "Miss Semple did Lot care to except the Dosition of housekeeper to Mr. Hiram Hutchinson," he said, as if Pamela were the greatest lady in the land, and could pick and choose positions. But then he was a minister, and ministers couldn't be expected to talk jut like common people. "What is she a-goin to do, then?" de manded Mis' Ichabod, severely. don't know of any other chance for her." ,4I I offered her a position, but she de clined that also'' said the minister. The committee looked thunder-struck. "I do hope it wa'n't to keep school,'' said Mis' Hosea Blodsrett, recovering herself suddenly, "for she hain't a mite of faculty, everybody knows. Why, I asked her once if she understood mathematics, and the said she could do addition if you cave her time. My Angelia understands mathematics, and btsic.es beautiful learnin', she's got a real faculty for keepin' school." It Was not a position as school-teacher, said the minister. "She could kind of get along with house work, though she hain't any faculty. I hope the folks ain't very partickerler," said Mis' Ichabod. "As she declined the position, it does not seem to matter whether they are or not," said the minister. If Mis Ichabcd had not stood very much in awe of the minister, he would have then and there received "a piece of her ' mind," as she afterward declared; "for if there was anything that provoked her beyond Endurance, it was a close-mouthed person.' But as he was the minister, there was nothing to do but to take leave ol him with a coldness and dignity which should give some uken of their displeasure. As if he couldn t tell them just as well a not who wanted to hire Pamely to do house-work 1 But there was one comfort the committee knew there was nothicg going on in Brimblecom that they couldn't und out. And just after she "had expressed that opinion, Mis' Ichabod was so overcome by some sudden thought that she fairly gaeped. ana leaned lor support against the town pump, which providentially stood in her way. "1 beard that Joanna Leach wanted to go home because her sister's twins had the measles. The minister wanted Pamely to keep house for him!" she gasped. "Well. Mis' Ichabod, if vou hain't got an understandin' worth havin'l And though I never breathed It to a mortal before, I've had my suspicions that the minister wa'n't all he'd ought to be," exclaimed Mis' Hosea Blodgett. "1 never knew a man to have one white eyebrow for nothing,'' said Miss Nancy rertins, aaraiy. Before night the report had spread all over Brimblecom that the. minister had asked Pamela Semple to .keep hous9 for him. Mr. Stockbridce - was certainly the

last person to be suspected of an impropriety, but appearances were deceitful. He surely must know that he ought to have a housekeeper who was at least fifty, and it was eminently proper that she should be toothless, cross-eyed and disfigured by the small-pox, as Joanna Laach was. If Pamela were an especially capable person, the case would be somewhat different; but to be willing to bear with a housekeeper who had no faculty, he must have a personal regard for her. The oldest inhabitant could not remember ' such an excitement in Brimblecom. The Rev. Mr. Caldwell's heresy had been tame, and the report that Dr. Saunders had another wife living only mildly exhilarating in comparison. But several weeks went by before any sound of it reached the minister's ears. Happily for him, Brimblecom had a wholesome fear of the minister. But at length, owing mainly to the efforts of Mis' Ichabod, Mis' Ilosea Blodgett and Miss Nancy Perkins, it was decided that at the next Church meeting one of the deacons should question the minister concerning the matter. Such a crying scandal must no longer remain uninvestige 1. It was a great day for Brimblecom. There had not been such an attendance at a Church meeting sinca the Itev. Mr. Caldwell's trial for heresy. Mrs. Deacon Simmons said it seemed so much like county conference that sho got up at 4 o'clock, and went to baking a great batch of pumpkin pies beforo she remembered what she was about. If the minister had any idea of what it all meant, he gave no sign, and when Deacon 4

Simmons, with awful solemnity, and with a long preamble concerning the duty of a minister to set an example to his flock in righteousness, asked him if he thought it seemly and becoming to ask the daughter of their late Deacon Ephrim. Semple to become his housekeeper, the minister quietly replied that he had never done so. The committee looked at each other and everybody else look at them, ilif s Nancy Ferkins fwlt, a she afterward expressed it, as if she ''would like to go through to Chiny;" but Mis' Ichabod bore up nobly, and Mis' Ilosea Blodgett relied upon Mis' Ichabod.

'Didn't you tell a committee consistin' of Mis' Ichabod Badger, Jlis' lioeea Blodgett and Miss Nancy Perkins that you had done so?" pursued Deacon Simmons. ''I did not," said the minister, with an air of bland and innocent surprise. This was too much for M;s Ichabod. She arose, and shaking her forefinger impressively at the minister, demanded: 'Didn't you tell us that you had offered her a situation to keep house? An' who in this livin' world could it be that wanted a housekeeper but you?" ''You mü understood me," said the minister, with great politeness. 'I said I had offered Miss Semple a position, and it was not to teach school." Mis' Ichabod sat down, because nothing occurred to her to say, and for a time there was silence. Then Doacon Simmons arose, and said, like a second Adam: "I hope you won't take no offense, nor think nothin' more about this, Mr. Stockbridge It's somtthin' tbat the women folks have got up amongst themselves, and I guess it don't amount to but dretful little." To relieve any further curiosity about the matter," laid the minister, looking straight at the committee, "perhaps I had letter explain although it ij an explanation which a man doesn't often make in public that the position which I offered Miss Semple, and which she declined, was that of your minister's wife." Mis' Ichabod always averred that if it hadn't been for a bit of cinnamon which she had on her tongue, she should nave fainted then. The Church-meetin? broke up suddenly, the entim'ent which Mis' Hoea Blodgett expressed being apparently tbe sentiment of all that she should have died in lire minutes if she couldn't have got out where she could talk it over. "Don't talk to me abGut that girll" exclaimed Miss Nancy Perkins, with deep feeling. "There never was a man that n took so auch faculty to get as the minister." "And she wouldn't have him? Dpend upon it, there's more in that than meets the ej e. She's deep," said Mis' Ichabod. 'What do you think Mis' Moses Gregg whimpered to me in meetin'f" said Mis' Hosea Blodgett. "She sajs Pamely sell the pictures she paints for money sends 'em off to the city. And besides supporting her and Ketury, she's a-goin to pay off the mortgage on the farm. "I hain t never been sorrv th.9t I was brought up to work,"6aid Mis' Ichabod. 'Vanity and folly may prosper for a season, but we all know where the downward path ends. If Pamely Semple hadn't been sent away to that academy, 6he might have been as lisely and well-behaved as any girl in JJnmDlecom if she hadn't any faculty. And with these remarks Mis' Ichabod with drew herself from the council. Oa the even tenor o her way went Pamela, working early and late with her brush, and bafore long a report found its way to Brimblecom that she was considered a remarkable artist, and some things were evident to Brimblecom senses: the mortae was b?icg paid off, the crops were in a prosperous con dition, and old Keturah was renewing- her youth. Brimblecom began to be proud of Pame la. It was almost forgot that it had ever been afraid sne wtuid become a pauper. Nobody seemed to remember that she had been thought to have no faculty nobody but the committee. One or two persons were actually heard to say that it was a pity she wouldn't marry Mr. Stockbridge, but perhaps she had a right to look higher than the rest of the Brimblecom girls. Mis' Ichabod always shook her head with mysterious meaning when Pamela was mentioned, and said, grimly, '-Them that live longest will see most." Onec"ay triumph came to Mis' Ichabod. The committee were in the Post-ofSce MU' Ichabod and Mis Ilose Blodgett wore often so kind as to assist ML-s Nancy Perkins in assorting the mail when in came Mrs. De. con Simmons, who was fat and scant of breath, and in such a case of excitement that the committee had, all and severally, to fan her vigorously before her news could be extracted. 'Don't you think,as true as I'm a livin' woman and not a corpse, as I might expect to be, hearin' such upsettin things and hurryin' so :' ''Go on, go on! don't lose your breath!'' cried the committee, in chorus, fanning vigorously. "We'll never b eathe it to a soui." "Oh, it's all over Brimblecom. That good-fo-no thing cretur Bn Seaverns has comeback, without hardly so milch as a coat to his back, and the rheumatic fever. Been cast away on a desert island, and eat up by cannetbals 'most which nobody can't say wa'n't exactly like him and nothing but skin and bones, and the doctor says most likely won'tnever be good for anything again, not to mention that he never was. And Pamely's took him in, and she and and Ketury is a-r.ussin' him up. And that ain't the worst of it: the minister went up and married 'em! She's took tbat pood-for-nothin' cretur to take care of for life her that might 'a had tbe minister!" They never got me to believe that she had any faculty," said Mia' Icl a bod. aphouisms; Time waste.2 is existence; used, is life. Vi?tory bei injjs to the most persevbrirjg.

The Archbishop of Quebec is exceptionally severe, as is well known, on the follies of society and exegincies of fashion, more especially those relating to tho toilet of the weaker 6cx. To lukewarm Catholics, who are inclined to view with disfavor the more Ultramontane doctrines c f the Church, the Archbishop read a severe lesson a few Sundays ago in a mandement, read in all the Roman Catholic Churches in the Province, which prohibits the faithful from entering too freely into the amenities of life with Protestants; from attending Protestant Churches and .Protestant marriages, from acting as pall bearers at the Protestant fune ra!s, or, in fact, from attending Protestant funerals.

It' Is a variation of a fashion which obtained in London a, year or two ago of having the hand modelled in plaster. That fashion went farther. Some ladies had their feet modelled, and one fair dame, it was said, exhibited a mcdel of her foot, and rather more than her ankle, under a glass case in her drawing-room.

The deplorable account I gave you in my la9t, of the three tourists lost in tho snow and ice of the Itaxalpe on Easter Sunday has had a pleasant hnalc a last act which from a tragedy has turned the piece into a comedy. Un lbursday morning the two brothers with their charge, the young girl, returned to the inn on the mountain, after having wandered around ia the fog and mist, the snow and ice, during four whole days, after having spent their nights in a poor hut which besides the shelter it afford ed them, contained nothiug but old, damn straw and a saucepan.

This desperate hunger must iu come measure be ascribed to the kind of food used here. The Viennese eat more veal than beet, and are great consumers of coffee, bread and cakes. Probably this kind of nourishment does not sufficiently ppire the body for a long fast. Und the mist and the fog prevailed only one day longer it is certain that those three youog people would never nave returned, as they would nave lost -consciousness from hunger. It is a great shame that, bad as the weather war, nothing was . undertaken to rescue them. The way over which that poor girl passed in ice and snow, strong men surely might have trod in quest' of her, but they all turned back when the snowstorm blew in their faces, declaring that it was an impossibility to advance any further and that there was no hope of rescuing tbe 1-st ones alive. This strange adventure should certainly teach tbat 1 h never too late to makj an effort to ave a fellow-creature. "Were you actively engaged in the late war?" asked a stranger in Austin of General Jeif IMakeman. "Oh, yes, I waa rery actively engaged in Bhipping cotton to Europe during the war." "Then how did you come to be called General?'" "Well, you see. I made money during the war, and afterwards the boys came home poor, and wanted to borrow a little money, and I generally loaned it to them, and that's how I came to be called General,' and it has stuck to me ever since," Prejudice Kills.
