THE POET..-,

Poet, court not the favor of the many! For short lived are the transports of applatue, And fools shall «it in judgment over thee, And thon shalt hear the world's «nfeeling laugh. Be thou through all Impassive, strong and «(urn ..... Thon art a king! So live—alone. The path/' Freely pursue where thy free genius calls, Maturing ever the fruits of loving thought,.. Demanding no reward for work achieved. Tis in thyself—thyself, thy judge supreme., Ho critic's censure more severe than thine. Fastidious artist, look upon thy work! Art thou content? Then let the crowd abuse it. The altar spurn which holds thy sacred flame, And try in childish, mischief loving glee The tripod to o'erturn, thy throne divine. —V. Ragozin in New York Sun.

HAIR TURNED WHITE

The windows of the crowded oafe bad been thrown open, and the fresh, cool air of tbe spring night struggled for mastery with the close, tobacco laden atmosphere which filled the large hail.

A glance out into the night showed the deep blue heaven overhead and a brilliant full moon, whoso cold, clear rays sparkled on the fresh foliage of tbe budding trees as they swayed gently to and fro in tho light breeze. Tbe members of the society to which I at this time belonged had been accustomed for some time past to reserve a certain table in tbe cafe for themselves, where they met ovory evening to chat over and discuss the event* of tbe passing hour. On tbe night I am speaking of our conversation was of a prosaio enough character, as was only natural in a small town, and exhausted itself in discussions about local matters, tho theater, taxes and similar .humdrum topics

Through some chance remark which I can no iongor recall the question sprang up whether or not it were really credible that a man's hair could suddonly become gray in consequenco of a violent shock to the mind, come of those present wero only half inclined to disbelieve this somewhat startling theory, while others could hot be sufficiently scathing in tbe remarks t,hey mado concerning people who were simple enough to placo any crredence in such nursery talos.

As tho discussion grew warmer and warmer, until every member of our party was engaged either in championing or combating tho question in point, a man seated near us rose slowly pushing his chair from him, and approached our tnblo. Ho wos a lino, tall follow, of herculean bulkl, and his intelligent foatures, which bore an expression of great determination, were rendered very striking by a pair of keen, bluo eyes But what made bis appearance still moro remarkable was tho fact that both bis hair and beard wore as white as snow, although they surrounded oonntenaneo which would not permit ono to reckon his ago at more than about 85. "Kxcuso mo, gontlomen, if I am interrupting your conversation," he remarked, bowing politoly to ail of us. You were Just discussing a subject that has moro than ordinary interest for mo. I happen myself to bo a living proof that under certain oircumstances a terrible shook to tho mind can produce that solfsamo physical ofTectof which you wore just speaking, and which tho majority of you seem to discredit."

These words natu»lly oxcitod tho ouri osity of all prdsent to tho highest degree. Wo quickly mado room for our new ao quaintnnce at tho tnblo, and when ho had seated himself oomfortably urged him to rclato to us tho circumstances which had produced suoh strangonml sudden ebango in his oppoMranco. The stranger told us this story

If any of you gontlemen hovo over Interested yourself closoly in American niTuirs. tho name of Auburn cannot well be strange to you. It denotes much tho (initio for tho United States as Spielberg does for Austria. You must not picture Auburn to yourselves merely as a gloomy ami extensive prison, as one large, soli tary building—no I It is rather an ontlro colony of criminals, a sort of town or me tropoiis for the wretches that tho oommu nity lias thrust out "Shut in by immense walls, which rise up from tho level plain to a considerable height, are crowded together a large mini ber of detached buildings—houses that contain tho prison cells, warders' dwell Ings. hospital and workshops—all sullen nml forbidding looking, and here and there dotted about may lie seen a small patch of grass, a few trees and very occo flionally Dower bod, like the last lingering recollections of innocent childhood Among the block thoughts of a criminal "Certain events which would have but little interest for you hnd led to my jour moving from Hamburg, my birth placo, to America immediately after tho comple tlon of my studies, and after a short stay in New York I accepted tho post of prison doctor at Auburn. 1 was intrusted with the niedlcnl supervision over that, part of tho prison which was set apnrt for tho worst olass of criminals—men, or I should say human hyenas, whose blood, as Mcphistopholes says, had already censed to bo 'n tluld of rare quality.' 'Two of those wretches were destined to spend the remainder of their days in the prison, and they, by reason of their groat physical strength, as well as by the extraordinary cunning they had evinced in ecveral desperate attempts to regain their freedom, were subjected to even closer supervision than the rest of their companions. 1 was an object of particular hatred ami dislike to these two scoundrels bemuse 1 bad boon instrumental in the discovery of a number of Iron implements which they had concealed under their clothes, and Again on another occasion because 1 had refused to receive them Into tbe hospital when tbey had feigned illuess, expecting doubtless when they wero once in there that they would Ond more favorable opportunities for accomplishing their escape The ruffians were separated and placed in remote parts of the prison and Were laden with chains, but in spite of all the# precautions one fine morning the one and a few days later the other, together with their chains, bad disappeared without leaving a trace behind them. "It must have been almost a fortnight after the (light of these two criminals, which had caused the utmost consternation among the authorities at Auburn, that 1 ordemJ my horse one afternoon and started off for a ride to Cayuga Bridge. It was tuidday when 1 reached the end of my journey, and I stood still for some time oootemplatiog with silent delight tbe exquisite scenery which lay stretched out for miles before me Tbe Cayuga take, one of those which, together with Lake Rrte, compose tLat vast system of Inland seas in the sure of New fork, lay is all Its beauty at my feet Tbe long, deader streak of silver wound In and out of tbe ragged black cliffs which hemmed tt in aad which rose cheer up ou of the lake, ffcctn* each

ether like grim opponents who had for thoasands of years bid one another defl ance. Far down tho lake, which is 40 miles long and at this particular spot about one broad. I could discern the enormous trestle bridge, a marvel of American engineering skill, which carries tbe An burn division of tbe New York Central railway across, passing on its way through tbe small station of Cayuga Bridb**1, "My business in tbe village wi soon finished, and toward evening I (. rted home again. Do yon know bow del.gbtful a ride on a summer's evening is? Cay nga Bridge is surrounded by extensive oak forests, through which tbe greater part of my journey lay. Tbe gnarled and massive trunks cast long shadows, and the foliage rustled so gently In tbe soft evening breeze that one seemed rather to feel than to bear it. As I rode between these giants of the forest sweet recollections of my distant home crept into my heart, and, sunk in ray thoughts, I let tbe reins fall on my horse's neck, and be trotted steadily forward. I admired tho marvelous variety of color that the rays of tbe setting sun produced as they shqne through tho mass of dark green leaves and seemed to kindle their edges into flame. "Suddenly I was startled out of my reverie by,a slight noise which appeared to come from the undergrowth on either side of the road. Turning sharply round I grasped my revolver, but at the same moment I received a stunning blow on thg back of my head which knocked me senseless from my saddle. Once more I recollect opening my eyes and thinking that 1 could see indistinotly one of the escaped criminals bending over me, and then all became a blank. "It must have been late in the night when consciousness'again returned to me Slowly opening my eyes I saw far above me the dark, blue vault of the sky and the full moon shining brightly A dull, painful sensation at the back of ray bead prompted me to place my band there, and I then discovered that I was bound band ond foot. Gradually I collected my thoughts. I remembered now the murderous attack in the forest, and a fearful foreboding flashed through my mind which almost caused my heart to stand still. 1 felt that I was laid across two eharp parallel projections, which cut into ray shoulders and the back of ray legs, causing mo intense puin, and far below me I could hear tho gentle plashing of water "Heavens! Thero could no longer bo any doubt. I was lying stretched across Cayuga bridge, bound, incapable of moving an inch, with the hideous .and absolutely certain prospect of being cut literally to pieces by the next train thut passed. For the second time thut night 1 almost swooned as I realized my situation, but by a powerful effort of willl recovered myself and tugged desperately at tho ropes that bound me until they cut almost into my muscles 1 shrieked and wopt finally like a child I mado mad endeavors to roll myself into another position and then recollected that careless movement might precipitate mo into tho flood below, bound hand and foot to sink like a stone I "A shudder ran through my frame, and I lay motionless again, but not for long, for the light of tho great, almost fearfully bright moon overhead, the ripple of the wator deep below ine, the breeze thut came in light puffs and then died away again giving plaoc to a deathlike stillness, occa sionally broken by tho scream of some distant night bird—all was unbearable and caused me the anguish of death. And I then the rails, the rails! My thoughts were torturing me, ond yet I could not escapo them. Tljo wooden beams of the bridge vibrated perceptibly from the movement of the water bolow, and I thought that I could already feol tho approach of tho train, ond my hair bristled with the horror of it 'l'ho breeze now blew somo what stronger, and 1 imagined that 1 could already hoar, far away in the distance, tho pulling and panting of the locomotive, and my heart stood still, to beat with redoubled force the next moment. "There are certain things, gentlemen, which are absolutely incomprehensible to mo Ono cf them is tho foot that I was able to survive that night. One thought Stood ever clear in my mind. I must en deavor by some means to shift my position —if possible, to ono between the metals—

If 1 did not wish, possibly evon in the next moment, to become the prey of the most awful doath ono could conceivo. 1 strain ed overy muscle, every sinew, till 1 could strain no more. 1 wound and twisted my self and panted until 1 thought my head must burst, and ofter superhuman editions which appeared to last an eternity and perhaps lasted but a minute I found myself in tho hollow between the rails "Was 1 wived? I had no time to consider that or to rejoice over the fresh chance of lifo which was now offered to me, for *»y whole being concentrated itself in intent listoning Far away In the distance 1 could now hear—first of all Indistinctly and then gradually increasing as it drew nearer out! neorer—tho regular, monotonous panting which heralds the approach of a locomotivp *1 lie fearful stillness of the night gave way as each minute passed to tho more fearful noise, to the clanking and thundering of the engine as tt raced on toward me at the headlong speed of American trains Now 1,000 feet more, now 500—all the horrors of hell possessed me, but 1 lay without moving a muscle Once indeed I tried to scream I could no longer hear my own voice. How. then, oould tho people on the train be expectod to hear me? And now for an immeasurably short space of time a blaze of light beat down upon me and a blast of hot air rushed over me, then everything became dark and 1 heard a thunder as if the beov ens were crashing in Close, quite close, at scarcely a hairbreadth 's distance, rushed the enormous mass over me 1 was saved "Already half unconscious, I was still sensible of a deafening clattering and ronr ing above me. and 1 saw shadowlike musses (lying past. Still one moment more of deadly anguish—ono of the coupling books, hanging somewhat lower than the rest, had caught nod torn a large piece out of the breast of my coat—then all objects teemed to whirl around sue, the moon, the bridge and tbe lofly cliffs, in one mad dance, and 1 became insensible 'When I next woke, 1 found myself In my own bed and around me well known faces And now, to be brief, 1 bad been found on tho morning after that awful night by a plate layer who bad recognised me and had brought me back to Auburn For a fortnight I lay delirious with brain fever, hovering between life and death, hot my strong constitution pulled me through Tbe first time after my recovery that I had occasion to use a looking glass I saw what tnocs those moments bad left on me"

[Special Correspondence.]

NEW YORK, NOV. 1.—Style is a difficult word to define. We say such a thing is or is not in style, and those who hear it understand that the article in question is or is not in fashion. But when we speak of any special garment or outfit as being stylish that means much more, and immediately the feminine mind grasps the idea that there is that peculiar and unknown, or rather indescribable, quantity about it which lifts it above the level of mediocrity. Style is not always elegant, and elegance

is not always style. Some people are horn with the capacity of lookiug stylish in almost anything, and others are obliged to content themselves with ladylike elegance. One can't be both, and it is the stylish woman who carries the day. It is contained, this style, in a frill of lace, a bow, a collar daring to the verge of vulgarity, but never quite reaching it, a slight exaggeration of all the accepted modes in vogue,' and it must be worn with an air of imperial belief in one's own superiority. Style, I think, belongs rather more to the large than the little women, yet some little women do manage to get their clothes on sometimes in the proper way tc earn for them the name of being stylish. To those anxious to be called stylish let me say that it requires the most absolute neatness and that eveiything about the whole outfit from shoes to hat must bo perfect after its kind, and all must harmonize. I know some quite old ladies who are admired for their style. I think, after all, that stylish people are like poets—born, not made,

But if there is any one who longs for the distinction let her study a costume from tiny patent leather boots to the top of anew hat, including all tho rest. First, tho dress skirt was of black velours, entirely plain, with a featherboned skirt, standing out in deep, rich folds. The coat, or substitute for one, was of gray faille in unusually heavy cord made in blouse form. The bottom of it was slashed all around to the back, where it lay in one double box plait. Thero was a belt of black ribbon with a fancy gold buckle. The sleeves were in coat shape, with gold braiding, and there were plaited cuffs made of doubled astrakhan. Over the shoulders and down the front was a plastron of black astrakhan, with a slashed collar stiffened like the shoulder pieces with featherbone. All around the edges was a trimming of black braid with gold beads upon it at intervals. This was doubled down the front, and there were six frogs and breloques of the same metal. The quaint hnt was of dark gray felt, with a high plaited crown and a tuft of black plumes. Inside the slashed collar was a very full puffing of white crepe lisse, with tiny black lace leaves dotted on it like the black spots on ermine. There were three rosettes close together, tu«ked along the side of the brim of the hat Straw colored gloves and a black para-

The Mjsteiy of Bets Fielding The most extraordinary instance, perhaps, of one moving in the best society of his time, always at a great expense, and with no apparent means of livelihood, was Beau Fielding. His death, too, by the hand of one fated to play an important part in the affairs of Europe made his case still more remarkable. Beau Fielding was a young man of fashion in the reign of William III. Eis house was sumptuously furnished, his hunters, hacks and racers were of great value, and "he kept a table of princely hospitality." He had no ostensible source of income. All that was known of him was that he was the fifth son of Thomas Wilson, an impoverished gentleman of Leicestershire. Evelyn describes him as a very young man, "civil and good natured, but of no great force of character," and "very sober and of good fame." All attempts to discover his secret were vain. "In his most careless hours of amusement he kept a strict guard over his tongue and left scandal to conjecture what it pleased."

He redeemed his father's estate and portioned off his sisters and when remonstrated with on his extravagance replied that however long his life should last he would always have enough to live in the same way. Some said it was he who had robbed the Holland mail, for which another man had suffered, others that he depended upon the gambling table, though he never played for large sum8. He was the enigma of social life till his career was cut short by a duel. His adversary was, at that time, a young man about town like himself, John Law, who afterward became the founder of the famous Mississippi scheme by which half of France was ruined. When the mysterious Beau died, he left only a few pounds behind him and not a s*rap of evidence to enlighten public curiosity.—San Francisco Argonaut.

A Phenomenon Tliat Doesn't JttxJst.

Every one has observed the apparently enlarged diameter of the full moon when seen just after it has risen. The orb is seemingly much larger than when at a higher elevation. The generally received explanation is that, in some unaccountable way, the lower atmosphere has a magnifying effect. And yet if Luna is viewed through a tube whose opening just takes in the moon when near the horizon, and afterward when on the meridian, it will be seen that there is no difference whatever. It is altogether likely that the apparent enlargement is produced by the effect of unconscious cerebration, that we thus compare the orb's size with that of the terrestrial objects nearly on a line, with it on the horizon or hilltops, which are known to be of large dimensions, such as houses or lofty trees, whose scale of angular projection is reduced in receding into the distance more than is usually supposed. As a matter of fact, the delusion is quite the reverse of what we might expect, for when the moon is above us it is about 4,000 miles nearer the observer than when it is rising or setting, for in the latter cases we are looking at it over half the earth's diameter in addition to the distance from the surface turned, toward it.—New York Times. .Z7'

That Calce VVooiu no it.

"You seem to be enjoying the cake this evening, James," said the young wife, watching the disappearance of that luxury with a lopk of the jjreatest satisfaction. "Er—yes," was the rather confused reply of the devoted husband. "Don't curb your appetite on my account. I shall not think you are greedy, dear." "I am going to eat as much as I can," mumbled James. "1 am so glad you like it. I was afraid that 1 was not making my cakes to your liking. You have always eaten so little of them on previous occasions. "Thisoneis just what Iwant today," jerked out the husband.

Then she was ver%, very happy—nn til she discovered that he had wagered Brown that he was the heavier and was eating as much of her cake as possible so that he should win the bet, which was to be decided that evening.—Pear son's Weekly.

Nervy.

The Philadelphia Record tells a story of a nervy man who boldly drove a wagon up to a commission merchant's store and transferred 50 baskets of produce from the sidewalk to his rattletrap vehicle, after which he drove away without paying for them. Meanwhile the commission man stood on the front sidewalk and watched the operation, thinking that the produce was being delivered to a party to whom it bad been sold. Two dayy later the huckster returned with the 50 empty baskets and sold them to their owner at 5 cents apiece. fie Knew.

Boraiiix Women.

The horrible punishment of burning women alive seems to have existed in Saxon England, but perhaps only in the case of slaves. Under the Norman rulers any woman, bond or free, who killed her husband was burned alive, and the same punishment- for this crime, and also for high treason and even for coining and other minor offenses, con tinned or arose from time to time through the second and third periods until it was abolished by act of parliament in 1790, the last actual execution of this kind having, however, taken place six years earlier. The whipping of women for various offenses continued even later. Public whipping was not abandoned until 1817, and cases of prij vate whipping occur as late as 1820. /'*f

There can be no doubt, we think, that the savage human instinct of cruelty had something to do with the barbarous punishments above mentioned. As the old Roman publio longed for the carnage of the circus, as the Spanish pqpulace crowded to the auto-da-fe in the flourishing days of the inquisition, so the lower (perhaps not only the lower) strata of English nationality took delight in witnessing tortures which, in all probability, -were devised and kept up partly for their entertainment. Mr. Cleveland tells us that Judge Jeffreys, in sentencing a wojeuan to be whipped, is reported to have said "Hangman, I charge you to pay particular attention to this lady. Scourge her- till her blood runs down. It is Christmas time, a cold time for madam to strip see that you burn her shoulders thoroughly."—Athemeum.

The Scratch on the Face.

In 186? Miss G., aged 18, died suddenly cf cholera in St. Louis. In 1876 a brother, F. G., who was much attached to her, had done a good day's business in St. Joseph. He was sending in his orders to his employers (he is a commercial traveler) and was smoking a cigar, when he became conscious that some one was sitting on his left, with one arm on the table. It was his dead sister. He sprang up to embrace her (for even on meeting a stranger whom we take for a dead friend we never realize the impossibility in the half moment of surprise). but she was gone. Mr. G. stood there, the ink wet on his pen, tho cigar lighted in his hand, the name of his sister on his lips. He had noted her expression, features, dress, the kindness of her eyes, the glow of the complexion, and, what he had uever seen before, a bright red scratch on the right side of her face.

Mr. G. took tho next train home to St. Louis and told the story to his parents. His father was incliiucd to ridicule him, but his mother nearly fainted. When she could control herself, she said that, unknown to any one, she had accielcntally .senilelied the face of the dead, apparently with tho pin of her brooch, while arranging something about the corpse. She hael obliterated the scratch with powder and had kept the fact to herself.—Andrew Lang's "Book of Dreams and Ghosts."
