MARK rWAirWiaSTLRVTURS

I ii« botne again. in San Frauuiaoo, without tne ns and withoat employment. I tortured my 1 rain for a saving sc'bfUiH of soim- kind, and Ht last a public lecture occurred te me! I eat, down ami wrote one in a fever of auticip itioti. I stwwed it to several friends, fot^t they all nhook their beads. Tiiey a iid nobody would come to see me, an.I wouM m.tke a humiliating failure ol it. They said that as I baa never apokeii in public I would break •down in the delivery anyhow. I was U*COIIMH1 ite now. But at last an fditor a! ippfd me on thn back and told me to "go abend He said.' "Take the Urg -Ht house in town and charge a doll ir .t ticket." The audacity ol' the proposition wis ch.trining it seemed rr»light with practical worldly witnlotn however. The proprietors of tbe sever il theairea endorsed the advice, and said I might have hi* handsome new opera huae at iif price—fifty doll irs. In shner desperation I took it—on credit, for HUtUciiHi reaemia. In three days 1 did hundred -t.i filty dollars worth printing and advertising, and was .he moat difti reHst'd and frii^htened creature on the Pacific Coast. I could not sleep —who could ut.Ucr auch circunistaieesT JAtr other people there was facetiousneaN in th** line inv posters, b.it to me it w.ta plaintive with a pang when I wrote it: ».»rt open at 7% o'clock. The trouble will b**jiii at 8."

Tnat line haa done good service hince. I tve 'eii it app •ndi'd to a newap tpnr ad v-ri Im-iimnl, feiu tiding school puplla in i.Mtioii wh it, time next terin would Ix^ iii. As those three days of su«p-uto dr igg'-d by I grew more and mrM IINh ippy. I ii 1 sold two hundred ii!ka» aiii'ing iiy personal friends but I fe.ired tlioy might not come. My lecture, whi'li ul M-emod "humorous" to me ill tir^t, gri-w .steadily more and more dreary, till not a vestige of tun senmei| n, an I 1 gri ved that I could not bring cotlln

Ii-- stage ami turn

the tiling into a fuueral. I wis ao piuiie-si rtcken at li»t that I we:it to

Mv drawling infirmity of speech so affected him that he laughed a spe-i-mon or two that struck me as being about the article I wanted, and I gave hi in a ticket and ippoiutoa him to sit in the second circle in tbe center aud be responsible for that division of th© house. 1 gave him minute instructions how to delect indistinct jokes, and thon went away and left hiui ohuukliug placidly over the hovelty of the idea.

I ate nothing on the last three eventftll days—I oulvsuffered. I had advertised that on the third day the offlce would be open lor tbe sale of reserved seats. I crept down to theater at .four in tbe afternoon to see If any sales had been made. The ticket seller was gone and the box offloe was looked up. I had to swallow suddenly or my heart would have got out. "No sales," I aaid to myself. I might have known it. I thought of suicide, pretended Illness, flight. I thought or theee things in earnest, for I was very miserable and •oared. But of course I had to drive them away and prepare to meet my fkte. I could not wait ior half p«at •even I wanted to ftioe the horror and end it—the feeling of many a man doomed to be hung, no doubt. I went down aback street at six o'clook and into the theater by a back door. I atuiubled my wav in the dark among the ranks of canvass aoenery and stood on the stage. Tbe bouse was gloomy and silent, and its emptineaa depressing. I went into the dark among tbe •oenee again, and for an hour and a half gave myself up to the horrors, wholly unoonaotous of everything else. Then I heard a murmur: It rose higher and higher, and ended in a crash, mingled with oheerm. It made my hair rise, and It was closs to me and so loud. There was a pauas and then another: presently oams a third, and before I well knew what I waa about I was in the middle of the stage, staring at a sea of feces, bewildered by the fleroe glare lights, and quaking in every limb with terror that seemed Uke to take my Life sway. The house was full—aisles and all!

The tumult la my heart and brain and legs oooliuued a full minute before I oould gain any command over myself Then I recognised the charity and the friendliness in the Iteea before me and liule by liule my tright melted away, and I began to talk. Within three or tour tnlnutea I was comfortable and even content. My three ohlef •tiles, with three awilHarhs. were on toad in Us faraastM, aU sitting t»Mthsr. all ansM wlta blndgtons ssd Si ready te make an onslaught apon the fWbteetjoke that might ebew IM bead. And when a joke did Ml thair Mudgeoos cease down sad thstr teess seemed toeplit from ear to ear. Saw*

Cin

r, whose hearty countenance was looming redly in the osater of

the second circle, look it up and the houae carried handsomely. Interior Jokes never fared so rovally before. Presently I delivered a bit of serious matter with impressive nnction, (it was my pet, and the audience listened with an intpreealve huah th*t gratlfl«Mi ine more than any applause and as I dropped the last word of tbe elause I hap-

Cnt

tned to turn and catch Mrs. 'a inand walling eye my conversation with her 11 ishea upon me, and in spite of all I could I smiled. She took it for the eignal and promptly delivered a mellow laugh that touched off the whole audience, and the explosion tbat followed was tbe triumph of the evening! I thought tbat honest man Sawyer would choke himself and as for the bludgeons, they performed like pile-drivers. But iny poor little morsel of pathos was ruined It was taken in good faith a» an intentional joke, and tbe prise one of tbe entertainment and I wisely let it go at tbat.

All tbe paptre were kind in the morning my appfiite returned I had abundance of money. "All's well that ends well." ,v

Oms of the beauties in our present system of tbe administration of justice is thai the witnesses in a case are frequently kept in prison, while the accused party against whom tbey are to testify goes at irge on ball, and often straw bail at that. There is notbiug like making things sure you know. As long aa somebody suffers it aeeins to make no material difference to our Justices whether It Is the innocent or the guilty, the perpetrator of a crime or the witness to hia act. This method of dealing with witnesses has a delightful effect upon tbem, making them astonishingly willing to testify. In some cases tbey would sooner be accused of a crime than be a spectator to its rpetuation. This is not exactly raising criminals under glass, but it is better than the plan of the Irishman who encouraged his potatoes to grow by playing on a Jewshirt).

ACCORDING to one of the English papers, we are ereat ly indebted to the Americans who were in England at the time of oar late war for the prevalence of tbe opinion that it would result in the rupture ot the Union and the one man who did more than any other to endorse that sentiment was George Peabody He backed such men as Roebuck and L-urd w'th an opinion whieh half justified them in their hostile operations. And he was not the only prominent American who threw the weight of his influence into the disunion scale at a tine when our destinies hung tremblinjr In the balance. It is well to remember this, not as against the memory of these jecreant Americana, but as an ex'enuation of Enurlish opinion and to some extent of England's acts.

A MELANCHOLY BREAK-DOW^.— There are lively break downs that I make an audience laimh, and there are

sid

and sorrowful break-downs that make the kind-hearted grieve. To the

fhroe okl iri• ml•». gi.tui^i11 81aturo,cor latter class belongs the enervation of dl by nature, an stormy-voiced, and hody and mind which is usually called sail!:

This thing is going to be a failure the »k'-s in it are so dim that nobody will ever see theiii I would liho to have you sit in the parquette, and help mo hrough with i:."

They siid they would. Then I wont to the wile of a popular citizen, uitd said that if she .a willing to do me a very great kindness I would be glad it she and her husb ind would sit proiuinentlv in the leli-hund stage box,whore tli' whole house could see them. I explained that 1 should need help, and would turn toward her and smile, «s a signal, when 1 had been delivered of an obscure Joke—''and then," 1 answured "don't wait to investigate, but respond."

Hhe promised. Down the street I met a man I had never seen before. He had been drinking, and was beaming with smiles and good nature. He sniil:

My name is Sawyer. You don't know mo, but that don't matter. I haven't a cent, but it you know how bad I wanted to laugh, you'd give me a ticket, ('ome, now, what do you «av?" "Is your laugh hung on a hair-trig-geiT—that is, is it critical, or can it get oir oasvT"

'general debility." or "nervous weakness," and which when neglected, to often terminates in atrophy and death. A wuolesome medicated stimulant is the one thing needed in case of this des cription, and science and experience unite in pointing to Plantation Bitters as the true specific The fact that it combines the properties of an invigorant with those of regulator and alternative, in exactly the proportions necessary to produce a radical change in the tone of the system, and the action of the digestive and secretive organs, is an unanswerable argument in its favor aa a general restorative. 6.
