The Old Canoe.

tfhere the rocks are gray and the shore is steep, And the waters below look dark and deep, Where the rugged pine, in its lonely priile, j^eans gloomily over the murky tide Where the reeds and rushes are long and lank, And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through. There lies at its moorings the old canoe.

The useless paddles are idly dropped. Like a sea bird's wings that the storm has lopped, And crossed on the railing, one o'er one, Like the folded bands when the work is done While busily back and forth between The spider stretches his silvery screen, And the solemn owl with the dull "too whoo," Settles down on the side of the old canoe.

The stern half sunk in the slimy wave, Rots slowly away in its living grave, And the green moss creeps o'er its dull decay Hiding its mouldering dust away, like the hand that plants o'er the tomb a flowor. Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower While many a blossom of loveliest hue Springs up o'er the stern of the old canoe.

The currentless waters are dead and still. But the twilight wind plays with the boat at will, And lazily in and out again It floats the length of the ru^,y chain, Like tho weary march of the hands of time, That meet and part'at the noontide chime, And the shore is kissed at each turning anew. By the dripping bow of the old canoe.

Oh, many a time with ceaseless hand, I have pushed it away from the

And paddled it down where the stream runs quick. Where the whirls are wild and the eddies are thick, And laughed as I leaned o'er the rocking side, And looked below in tl'te broken tide, To see that the faces and boats were two, That were mirrored back from the old canoe.

But now, as I lean o'er the crumbling eide. And look below in the sluggish tide. The face that I see there is graver grown, And the laugh that I hear is a sober tone, And the hands that lent to the light skiff wines' Have grown familiar with sterner things But I love to think of the hours that sped As I rocked where llie whirls their white spray shed Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grew O'er tlio mouldering storu o:' the old canoe. —A Ibcrt Vilct.

Jj Terrible JJistake.

Idyl Montgomery, after extinguisliin the light in her boudoir, stopped to the window and looked out upon the night. It was a frosty night in February, the ground was covered with a thin coating of very light snow, which the. moonbeams, mingling with the glare of the streetlamps, made very beautiful.

The hour was late, and Idyl would not have tarried a moment at the window had not a human iigure across the street attracted her attention.

Directly opposite her home lived her wealthy uncle, David Stagle. lie was a bachelor, but lived grandly, with many servants,%in the elegant mansiou erected by a small portion of his great wealth, and Idyl loved him above all her uncles, for he was so kind to her. The old gentleman had few virtifcoi-8, and (ilia most, of these Were business men. He was a sober, methodical person, who, when night came, put the cares of day away, and am used himself in his library until ten o'clock.

That hour had slipped by when Idyl Montgomery looked across the. street and saw a figure emerge from her uncle's house.

At first sight there seemed nothing remarkable in this, but it was the face and form of the man that caused her to start., for, as he passed under the lamp before the mansion, she saw and noted both. "What could he be doing there at this hour?"' fell from Idyl's lips, and, not daring to answer herself, she watched the man till he disappeared down the street.

Then she crept, uneasy in mind, into, bed, and thought and thought of her uncle's late visitor, till sleep shut her eyes and bore her to dreamland.

In the person who had emerged from the bachelor's home Idyl Montgomery recognized her accepted lover Walter Clarke. He was a clerk in the bank of which her uncle was president, and bore an enviable reputation, both public and private. But the young girl had lately learned that the relations between clerk and president were not very amicable in fact, the former had told her that he expected a discharge from the head of the institution. Therefore the girl might wonder at the late visit of clerk to president, and toss uneasily on her couch while thinking of it.

It was quite early the" following morn ing when Idyl was roused by a vigorous thumping at her chamber door. Blushing at the thought that slie had for once overslept herself, she rose, and opening the portal, greeted the white face of her father. "Daughter, something terrible happened last nighty he said, in atone which increased Idyl's fright. "In the house across the way lies your uncle David, murdered in cold blood."

For a motfie^t the girl stared at the speaker as if *hbed of the power,of speech but all at once she reeled from him and sunk to the floor in a faintipg

fit- 5-'1 Restoratives "were at once applied, and she returned slowly tor consciousness on her couch. Then the' feyent'of the night returned to lierwi^ that she c^os^^e^ex^ mJfi.toahutit out but it Would toot- fee driven iw»y.

Montgomery's clu-o:. -n-i of the man whom sli. .J s.vn ar.ifrom the house so L.ii ou the night.

What! had her lover entered the mansion and slain the honored president ol the Commercial Bank? Did lie take the poignard to secure to himself the position which, to his credit be it said, lie filled with honor?

The thought tortured Idyl's brain as no thought had ever tortured it before, and all through the dreary February day she expected to hear of his arrest. But, the night came without the expected news, and the young girl was standing alone in the parlor when a well-known rap on the door caused her to start with an expression -of pain on her white face.

Walter Clarke was on the step! Idyl opened the door to him, and fastened her eyes upon him when he stood in the glare of the parlor lamps. "This is terrible, Id}'!," were his first words. "The Commercial has lost its best president, and you one of the kindest relatives."

She never took her eyes lrom him while he spoke, and there was accusation in her look. "It is dreadful!" she answered him, slowly. "When did you hear of it!" "At an early hour this morning. 1 was ict the breakfast-table, mid upon receipt of the intelligence hastened to the scene of the tragedy. He, your uncle, was quite dead the surgeons say that the dagger struck his heart. But why am I telling JTOU this, Idyl? You have heard it before, and my repetition will affright you anew. We, as you know, were not on very good terms but I bore him no ill-will, and I feel that I have lost a benefactor, for your uncle, Idyl, made me all that I a,m."

A cold smile wreathed her lips, and he shot her a look of perplexity which she met with a question that made him start.. "What were you doing in my uncle's house last niglit?:'

It might have been her manner that paled his cheek, for all color suddenly left it, and he gazed at her for several minutes before he made reply.

Last night?" he repeated. "1 in your uncle's house last night'?" Why, Idyl, you must have been dreaming." "Oh, no! my eyes were wide open," she said, with determination. "I do not dream that I see men emerge from houses the haunted hours of the night. Last, night, when I stood at my window and saw you leave uncle's house I was not dreaming. No! Walter Clarke. I know that I saw you! Tell me, was he dead when you left him in his library? Answer me, in the presence of your God and the woman who has promised to become your wife?"

Her voice -was stern, yet full of bitterness it was evident that the terrible accusation woo lier heart—that all the happiness of her life was gomt^ v«v with her words. 'Idyl, are you mad?"' he cried, grasping her arm. "Upon the soul God has given me! 1 declare that I did not enter or leave your uncle's house last night!"

A deathly stillness followed his last words. Idyl faced him with eyes fastened on his, as though she would look through them and read the secrets of his very heart, •Yon have been dreaming, girl," he continued, drawing nearer her, "and oh! what a horrible dream it has been! Come Idyl, say that you did not see me in the flesh last night, standing on your dead uncle's step." •I cannot! I cannot!" she cried, slipping from him, and staggering to a sofa, upon which she dropped with a groan of intense agony. Leave me, Walter," she continued, with averted face, but with hand waiving him back. "For the love of heaven and the adoration of Idyl Montgomery! go! Oh! would to God that I had not drawn the curtains last night! for, since then, 1 have looked into a world of misery my life has been blighted, and my eyes have cursed its future existence. Go! *go! leave me alone."

He stood in the centre of the room, with indescribable horror written on his face he looked like a madman, and his white lips shook like aspen leaves as he sprung-forward and grasped her arm. "Idyl! Idyl! I am innocent!" he cried. "Tell me that I may have the privilege of proving myself so/' "You shall! only go—leave me!" she cried. "1 will keep the terrible secret."

Thenishe buried her face deeper in the rich upholstering of the sofa, And with a look full of pity and overflowing with agony, he turned on his heel and left the room.

The.closing of the door roused her. /Krone!" she cried, seeing him not in th$: room. "Walter Clarke, was it for this motnent that I was. born? You can deceive, and I must keep, the secret. My eyes were not closed—I was not dreaming when I saw you stand last, night on uncle's door-step in the fullglare of the gas.1

pfrft walked acrosatheroom with the last sentence lall|ng from her lips, and parted iUe curtains half mechanically,

The street lamps were burning brilliantly,

and th3 air was full of SHOA FT :*.-S that came airily down, and filled :iie footprints of pedestrians. Her mule's bouse

•-ut in bold relief, silent now, for its er iy dead in the great iil.miry, and id .vi^Jness of the grave seemed to enlii'oud its walls. "Poor uncle David!" sighed Idyl. "One knows not when the grim monster is to come, nor what shape he—"

She paused abruptly, for the front door opened suddenly, and a man stepped out and halted on the step.

He was tall and well built, his body was enveloped in a heavy chinchilla overcoat, and he wore a rimless but costly winter cap on his head. His face—ah! it was the face that drove Idyl from tho window with a ery of horror, and made her drop the lace curtains in her fright.

Once before she had seen that man emerge from the house, and he had stood revealed to her as her lover—Walter Clarke.

She could not be mistaken, for he appeared in the cap and coat which had lately vanished with him from th« parlor!

All this had transpired in a minute of time, and the young girl returned to the window to see the man re-enter the house and close the door after him. "God give me strength to face him and discover the truth!"' she said. "In the presence of dead uncle David, 1 will meet him and settle the question of guilt forever." fSie threw a shawl over her head, and took a tiny silver-mounted pistol from the marble-topped mantel. It was a present from him, and she hid it beneath the shawl while she crossed the whitened street.

The body of the murdered man lay in the library, which could be reached from the ffont door without disturbing any other part of the house. The servants, with several exceptions, had retired, and the few who remained up were keeping vigils in the dimly-liglited parlor.

Idyl entered at the front door, on tiptoe, and saw agleam of light in ihe library by means of its door, which stood slightly ajar.

She halted in the hall to summon all her courage to the task before her, then opened the portals of the library and crossed the threshold The gas over the dead bank president's desk was burning dimly, but in its light Idyl descried the outlines of a human figure that seemed to Jill the arin-cliair of the dead. This figure grew into distinctness while the girl regarded it, and at last she recognized the chinchilla overcoat and the cap.

The man seemed to be hunting for some valuable papers, for his hands were hidden in a drawer at his side but they were quickly withdrawn when Idyl's voice fell upon his ears.

Walter Clarke, I've caught you!" she said. The man turned quickly—wheeling in the chair—and showed Idyl a face which was the counterpart of her lover's!

The sight caused her to shrink back, but she did not lose her self-possession. *"^VT5irr~*BOra~vuc-itn»ii.~~«TrUrtV-JU want with me?" and with the last word he was rising to his feet. "Sit downl" commanded the girl, and the pistol flashed from, beneath the shawl. "The officers of the law want you."

Cowed by the weapon and the look of determination that flashed in Idyl's eyes, the man dropped into the chair again,and remained there till the police had him in their power.

His presence in the library among the dead man's papers proclaimed him the murderer, and the Italian poignard found on his person forged another link of the chain of guilt. "I am the man!" he said at last. "David Stagle held valuable papers against our family. I came to him to buy them, but he would not sell. On that night I came again, and found him dozing in the library. Then I struck him, and he died. Last night I came to look for the papers a second time but that girl saw me and took me prisoner."

When Walter Clarke and Howard Thomson stood side by side they looked like brothers, and many people could not tell the one from the other—the innocent from the guilt}'.

The events of the second night threw Idyl Montgomery on abed of sickness but the watchful care of the young man brought her through the crisis, and to him one day she feebly said: "God lias been very good to i#?, Walter. But for your double's reappearance I might have put you away a3 a murderer."

He stooped and resealed his love with a kiss. It was her reward, and none greater

did she ask.

The warlike habits of the Papuans tnd their implements of warfare' are Ascribed in a private letter recently iddressed to Dr. Hooker of London, ihe writer says that no man leaves his dwelling even to go to his bit of cultivated land without his powerful bamboo buv and a few deadly poisoned arrows. Tie poisoned arrows are only a few among a great number not poisoned, being distinguished from the others by elaborate carving and painting, to prevent accident. They are -pointed and barbed with humii bone bronght to almost needle-like sharp, ness, carefully finished they are poisonei by being plnnged in a putrefying hmnai eorpseJ The! late Commodore Goodenough and his men Buffered from ar. rows so poisoned. It is a sort of blood poisoning that, like other kinds of inocq. lation, does not develop itself for several days, but the slightest scratch, touched with it prodaces.almost always a horrible death.

CHIXISSE ACROBATS IN .SAN I'll AXCISCO.

An article in the San Francisco Call says: The Chinese tumblers lately introduced into the Jackson street Chinese Academy of Music are,indeed,marvels in the line. A number of athletic Mongolians appear, stripped to the waist, and begin a sort of combat on» the stage. At first the fighting appears to be promiscuous, but six or eight finally ally themselves against one man, and try to overcome him by springing against him and striking him full in the breast with the soles of their feet.

He meets this curious mode of attack by standing like a statue, while the others fall heavily upon the lloor. A number of tables are next brought out and piled one above another, until a height of about twenty feet is attained. A performer, whose weight is not less than 150 pounds, mounts them, and, springing into the air toward tho floor and the stage, strikes both feet with a heavy thud upon the bare breast of a man standing about ten feet from the foot of the tables, throwing him vio lently to the floor. How a man can sustain such a blow is a mystery.

Again the agile acrobat uscends to the top table, and, springing upward, turns a somersault,^while all the tables, except the lower one, are suddenly taken away. Upon the only table left -lie falls with a force apparently great, enough', to break every bone in his body but lie leaps up again im mediately and turns back handsprings across the stage.

Again he climbs to the top of tho tower of tables, while a second lies down upon a table, a few feet from the base of the tower. Turning a somersault in mid air, he falls upon the other body, the two breast to breast, and bounds off again with a second somersault. Other acrobats climbed to various altitudes, and fell upon the stage.aligliimg squarely upon their backs with a force that is astonishing.

These feats are all executed by men in a semi-nude condition,so that there is no chance for padding their clothes. The manager informed the Call reporter that the tumblers were trained from childhood, and became habituated to the terrible concussions only by years of practice. He added that many were killed in training, or maimed for life.

A WOMAN AND THE GERMAN DEVIJL.

Charles Warren Stoddard thus writes to the San Francisco Chronicle, giving a droll legend of the Strasburg cathedral: "Even the name of the architect is not positively known, which is rather a blessing to his family, inasmuch as it is asserted that he was in league with the devil. This unhappy man, burning with ambition, designed many plans for the proposed structure, which was to be the glory of the Continent. In his feverish sleep he was enchanted by visions of cathedrals, us t.h« world has never seen, but there was ever before his eyes one vailed picture which haunted him night and day. As he approached this mysterious object in his dream, it invariably disappeared in a cloud of mist, and at that mom*it his ears were filled with sounds of laughter such as is never heard out of tho fifth act of a melodrama when tiie gory handed villain of the piece drops through the trap in company with the humorous and combustible gentleman in red. Of course it was the

There was a bargain struck in course of time, and the architect promised, not only his own soul, but the soul of the first one who should cross the threshold of the cathedral after the consecration, and in return received the plans of the present structure. But the Germans know well how to outwit the devil,perhaps because they have had so much to do with him. The architect died in great agony, after having confessed all, and a woman of ill-repute, who was at that time awaiting sentence in the Archbishop's prison, volunteered to sacrifice her soul for the good of the community. She was conveyed in a box to the door of the cathedral, and, in the presence of a vast concourse of spectators,crept from her place of concealment into the sanctuary. There was a deathlike stillness for a moment. Everybody held his breath and wondered what was coming next. Then a wild shriek echoed through the building and the worst was over. When the Archbishop and the priests, with burning tapers, and the acolytes, with smoking censer, entered the sacred edifice, they discovered that the devil had seized the unhappy creature and broken her neck on the spot. But the unhappy one was not the woman of ill-repute she was all right and jolly as possible, for she had taken a pig in her arms, a pig in a woman's dress, and this was the victim that was- sacrificed. Your German devil must be a poor judge of the sex or he would not have been gulled so easily,"

A_BUItMESK DIVORCER

"The marriage knot" among the Burmese is very easily undone. If two persons are tired of each other's society, they dissolve partnership in the following touching but conclusive manner. They respectively light two candles, and shutting up their hut, lit down and wait quietly until they are burned out. The one whose candle burns out first gets up at once and leaves the house (and for ever), taking nothing but the clothes he or she may havti had on at the time allelse becomes the property of the other party
