Time rakes away hisdaaWteap of dead roses, Of empty oups, of broken vows. Spent love, and all dim memory diaoloses, The morning after Youth's carouse; He shows us shades of unforgotten faces, We hear the voices far away, Of revellers, who leave us still some traces, Ol songs whose eohoaa haunt old halting - plaoels, Where night was often turned to day, And many rest in sloop br dreams unbroken, By winds unswopt, by stars unseen, Never to speak again as they havo spoken, Or know lost joys that might havo been.

JAOK'S'EXPEDIEN'T, \Taay Charlie, you've done for-your- self this time!\ said pretty Doris Thornton to her adorer, Charlie Ring- wood of the Chalkshire Regiment, as they were sitting together aftor dinner in the conservatory attached to the pleasant riverside villa belonging to Doris' father, Mr. Thomas Thornton of the Stock Exchange. \Why—how Doris?\ asked the young man. \By speaking as you did -at dinner against steam launches, and saylrig that the men who owned thorn and; used them wore cadV* replied Boris. \Papa's just bought one, and, next to fishing, has rnado it his great hoboy.\ \By Jove! that's unlucky,\ said Charlie. • 'Wow, wbatfs to bo done? It's no use my going and telling him that I was only chaffing, booause ..i] spoke so straight.\ \I don't know, I'm suro,\ said JDoris, »eriously. \You could hardly have made a more unfortunate mistake, for papa considers the real cads to be those who growl because others Jiko to move fast without any trouble to them- selves.\ \On a crowded river, washing away bankrf and kicking up no end of dirt and noise,\ continued the young officer. \Well I'm awfully sorry, Doris, for the old boy's rather touchy, and it might influence his ideas with regard to you and me, oh?\ When the young people had returned to the drawing-room it was very evi- dent that the \old boy\ was disturbed. In vain Charlie sang his best songs; in vain he tried to inveigle the angry old gentleman into pleasant conversation; In vain he exerted every effort to show him.-idf o.T tu the best possible advan- tage. The blow had been dealt, and it rankled beneath the capacious waist- coat of the wealthy old stock broker. He answered his guest in curt mono- syllables; he made nnich rustling with the newspaper, and coughed inordinate- ly during the performance of Charlie's Beings, and finally, when it was time for the young man to return town- wards, instead of offering him one of his famous Autonino Garunohps, shak- ing his hatid heartily, and expressing a hope to see him again soon, the old gentleman assumed a severe air and said: \Ahem—Mr. Ringwood, of course— ahem*—a gentleman of your refined tastes could never-^-ahein—think \of marrying the daughter of a cad who keeps a steam-lauhch! Ahem—good night, sir.'* Charlie was staggered, and looked pleadingly at Doris, Who, however, only shook her head slowly and signifi- cantly. There were probably/few morem* happy young men that night within .the metropolitan radius than Charlie Bingwood as he turned slowly home- ward and pondered that, in thev torse language of Dorts, he had done for himself. • The next morning brought foirn, in- stead of hope, alette ftorathissweefc heart, whldh made him absolutely miserable; v It wasastoliowsj - \ \Wx \BamMtiv CirARLiB—l ; liaye miacched a moment to write these few linos. Papa was in an awful rage last night after you had gone; caliefl you an insolent puppy and all sorts of things, which I should hot have uaihaV ed had ho not wound up by forbidding mo to hold any further communication with you, r and saying that a man who would be'ashamed of his father-in-law because he kept a steam-launch was not a fit husband for his; daughter. What are we to do ? Ever your affectionate, DORIS THORNTON, \Ayei\ muttered Oharlie, when ho had read the' letter over for the twen- tieth time. ''What are weto do? It's of no use arguing with this, sort of old fellow; once he gets a notion into hie head, no power on earth can drive it out. I wish to goodness I'd uever said a word about steam launches.\ In the evening he went to his club, where he met with an old aohool-fellow, Jack BagglesT. 'Sow, Jack Haggles, although continually in difficulty him self, was famous for his ingenuity in getting other men out of their troubles. More than once Charlie had been obliged to have recourse to him for ad vice, and he had never regretted, it. This was a far more serious case than any preceding one, but Charlie was simply desperate, and would have olung to the maddest device suggested, as a drowning man clutches to a straw. So he got Jack Raggles into a quiet corner, and there he laid the faots of the case before him. \Well said Jack, when Charlie had concluded, \it certainly is an awkward case, and it would be deuced hard lines for you to have to chuck up all thoughts of marrying a nice and pretty girl like Miss Thornton fcr such a trifle. But I've got fellows out of far worse holes before now, and I daresay I shan't fail this time.\ \You are a good fellow, Jack, upon my word you are,\ said Charlie, enthu- siastically; \but by Jove, if you get me out of this you'll be a genius.\ Jack was silent for a few momenta and pttttooV vigorously at hta cigar. At length he. said: \I say, Charlie, isn't the old inan a regular maniac for fishing?\ \Itatherl\ replied Charlie, \Ho takes a holiday about throo times a week oh purpose to fish. Ho Starts off after breakfast with a big hamper and aits in » punt until evening. Still* now he*s got this wretched steam launch, I expect hell off with the old lo^e and on with the new. But what has fishing to do with the subject in hand?\ \Never you mind just now,\ answer- ed his friend, \but you find out from Miss Thornton when her father next intends to go Out in his punt, and where he's likely to be, and then send me a telegrum to Clarges street, and Til tell you what to do.\ Charlie had such implicit faith in Jack Eaggles' ingenuity that he went home that evening in a comparatively happy frame of mind. Ue wrote to Doris the first thing the next morning, and in the evening got a reply to the effect that Mr. Thornton was already making preparations for a 1 mg day's fishing upon tho-Wednesday folio wing. He telegraphed immediate- ly to Jack Haggles, and received the following reply: \Keep close to him, but out of sight, at. about 6 o'clock in the evening.\ Charlie wondered what on earth his friend's schome could be, but resolved to obey instructions. lie knew very well that Mr. Thornton's happy hunt- ing ground was a secluded back water, famous for tench and perch, a couple of hundred yards above thelawn-of his house. Thither he repaired, steathily, like a man bent upon an evil errand,, at about 5 o'clock, and took up a position upon a rough river-side path, welt-nigh ! bidden from sight by bushes and foliage, whence he could observe the enthu- siastic old fisherman without being seen himself. The old gentleman was sitting like a wax figure in his punt, ' with a large cigar in his rnouth and rod in hand, when Charlie arrived. So completely absorbed Was Mr, Thorn- ton in his. sport that a regiment might have filed behind him without attract- ing his notice. Charlie watched him until a distant church clock chimed the quarter to six. He then saw the old gentlemaa take out liia Watch, look at it attentively, and after a few moments' hesitation, slowly arid reluctantly begin to pack up his rod and line and put his: paraphernalia together. . Charlie began to get anxious. What- evef plani Jack RaggleS concocted; would have to be carried into execution; quickly, or it would be too late. - At tost Mr, Thornton had arranged: his tackle and untied the punf^olos, and was pushing offl into mid-steam.^ Charlie's heart sank, but he crept swiftly forward to a little promontory to watch the <>W gentleman faithfully, according to instmetdpns, until $9* o'clock. . Mr. Thornton, being old and obese, punted slowly and with difficulty, and as the clock struck six he had hot yet got put of shallow water, So intent was Charlie, however, in looking at him, that he did net perceive the dark outline of a steam, lauttch coming di- rectly down upon the ptmt, and he was only made aware of the fuet by seeing the old gentleman wave one arm vigor- ously and by hearing him shout lustily at the same time that ho endeavored to get his unwieldly punt back out of the way. But It was too late, the bo w of the* launch went gently against the punt, though with sufficient force to tilt it up, with whioh movement the poor old stockbroker was sent flounder- ing into the water, yelling madly as he went. Quick as thought Charlie dashed in. The water was fortunately barely up to his waist, so'he seized Mr, Thornton under the arms, and after much splash- ing and shouting and fuss, got him first into the punt and then onto the steam-launch. Directly Mr. Thornton felt himself on his feet he burst into a violent passion, which was in no way appeased by the approach of Jack; Raggles, whom he did not know, with the most admirable expression of contrition in his face, and the words, \I'm sure I'm awfully sorry, sir,\ on his lips. \Sorry sir!\ roared tho old gentle- man, \so you ought to be, six! I con- sider it positively iniquitous and abom- inable that a man can't go out for a day's fishing without being run into by a lot of cockneys who have no more idea of handling a steam launch than , they hp;vo of handling » baUooal And I shaii take tho very earliest opportu- nity, sir, of laying the matter bofoio he authorities, in order that such un- warrantable Interference with the liberty of the gubjeot tnay be imme- diately put astop to. It is abominably sir, abominablei\* \Can I put you ashore anywhere?\ asked Jack,'deferentially, \Yes sir, you can, as soom as possi- ble, and before I catch my death of cold,\ replied the old gentleman. \You see OMo steps ahead, air?\ \I do,\ sBplied Jack. \Well then, if you can soe those steps, how the deuce w&3 it that you couldn't see me?\ said Mr. Thornton. \But as you can see them, steer to them—that is, if you know how to. They belong to ine, sir, to Thomas Thornton, Esq. 1 * ( As yet, the irritated stockbroker had given no thought to his rescuer, but as they were floating gently down the stream toward the steps, he turned and said: \And to whom am I indebted for my rescue from a watery grave?\ Charlie stepped quietly forward and bowed. The old gentleman started back, and exclaimed: \Good gracious! Mr. Eingwoodl Sir, allow me to shake your hand most heartily. You have performed an aftion to-night which shall not pass without recognition. You are a noble fellow, sir—a noble fellow. \I did nothing, Mr. Thornton, but what any other man Would have done under similar ciroitmstanees,\ said Charlie, feeling nimself to be a dread- ful hypocrite in assuming thedepreea tory air of a heroj \bat now that wo are here together j should like to ex- press my extreme regret that I should have given you offence the other night by expressing my opinion about st§4in launches a little more candidly than perhaps I should have done* but, be- lieve rat*——\ Mr. Thornton interrapteel hhh— \Believe uie, Sir, you did not say enough. . i am a complete convert to the opinions you.hold. Steamlaattches are an abomination, sir, and mine is for sale from this very moment.\— lonilo7i2 l mth Ttmm wms.

Son-residents own over a million cattle in Texas, which feed on the open ranges and earn at least ten millions a year for their owners. Some of the Texas newspapers think the State ought to. charge a rental for the sixty or seventy millions of aores of State land on which these cattle graze, and realize enough to admit of the abolition of all State taxes. Statistics are published showing that there are 2,785 paper-mills in the world, whioh turn out annually 1,904,- 000,000 pounds of paper, half of which Is used for printing. Newspapers use 600,000,000 pounds every year, their consumption having Increased 200,- 000,000 pounds within ten Jears. On an avorage, an Englishman uses 111-4 pounds of paper a year, an American lO 1-4, a German 8, and, a Frenchman 7 1T3 pounds. a large scale.

Sol- diers and sailors who are suddenly de- prived of their sight gometlme* con* tinuo to smoke for a wliile, but it is said that most of them soon give up the habit. They say it gives them no- pieasure when they cannot see the smoke, and some even declarer that they cannot taste the smoke unless they see it. A scientific writer calls attention to the fact that those vegetables whose eatable part grows under the ground—such at potatoes, 'pars- nips, beets, turnips, and the like- are heat producing; while those which form above the surface—as asparagus peas, lettuce, melons, com, pabbage, tomatoes and such /vegetables—are cooling. It follows, therefore, that the former should he kept for cold weather, and the latter varieties used in the summer months. Prof. W. H. Brewer, of the Sheffled Scientific School, suggests that tho press discourage the use of the word \cyclone\ as expressive of something much more terrible in the way of a wind storm than a tornado or whirl- wind, whereas the reverse Is the case.

The lecturer then de- monstrated thatthe cause of indigesti* • bility in, cheese was tho loss of its potassium salts in the process of man- ufacture. Another savani present de- cided to experiment as to the feasibili- ty of restoring the, lost salts*and making the article perfectly digestible. He is said to havo auccoeded so well that the matter will soon bo tried on Some interesting compilations havet been made from the published statistics of crime in the fput great Capitals oJJ^ Europe—London^ Paris, Berlin and Vienna. The population of Jiondon exceeds that of the qther three com- bined. In that city there ' ata, 9,890 policemen, in Paris 6,800, In Berlin 8,190, and in Vienna 2,629, the proportion to population being much the greatest in Paris. In 1881 there were 146 murders in the French capi- tal against 16 in JjOndpn; in burglary ies, Vienna takes the lead, with 1,127, London having only 502; in forgeries' and criminal assaults Berlin outnum- bers the other cities, but in larcenies from the person, London shows 2,657 cases, Vienna 549, Paris 839, and Ber- linl98. The Philadelphia Ledger makes the following note of progress ^n tho ap» plication of electricity: J*6nly twelve years ago Professor Tyndall gave his\ course of memorable Ieoture3 in Hor- ticultural Hall. He had with him. as a part of his apparatus an arc light. The lamp was regulated by clock work, and cost probably ten times as. much as the lamps made to day. It viras imperfeot in every way, the light'be- ing very unsteady, and several times got out of order at critical momenta The current was supplied from a vol- taic battery, at a cost that precluded its use for any but lecturing purposes. 0?b.» battery, healde* being coatly and. troublesome, required tho constant ;wo«3fc of an attend*at ioe a a^y i>i tuto to, «set np»* aa&it,alsQ> wj»a •.•very •apfeto- get out of dsder*.

More than two ' years had elapsed during which they vfere cut oft from communication with' their fellow-men, so the meagre scraps. of newspapers were treasured like gold. They were spread out, put toi gether and eagerly scanned. Pre«i« ent Arthur was alluded to, and they then knew the fatal issue of ths assassin's shot. The loss of tho Jeaw nette was mentioned, and they suppos- ed tho entire crew had perished. The' word 'dude* appeared in the print This was a stunner. They had never heard it before, and many and sharp were the controversies, regardtng! its signification. One of the first Interrogatories uttered fr6m the* throats of the feeble survivors, as they saw approaching the rescuing $arly was, \\What Is a dude?\ Refused. A blushing youug man called upon a.Madison avenue florist one day last week and gave the proprietor $16 to construct a bouquet Which would say, in floral language, \Dearest one, 1 love you—he mine,\ and which was to be delivered that evening, without fail, at the residence of a beautiful* ae, compfished attd^.mbum-halred girl on $hfcty-skth Street.
