'May I go with you V asked Win Waters, who chanced to he cal'ing at the Life-Saving Station near Pebbly lleach, one evening. 'Oh, yes,' replied Sain Williams, In his hearty way. 'Plenty of rooiu.' Sam was about leaving the kitchen, which was also the living room of the Life Saving Station. The clock on the wall had just blithely sung out, 'One —two—three—four—live—six—seven eight t-t I' Some of tire crew had sleep ily stumbled up the short,narrow flight of stairs leading to their quarters for the uight. Simes Towle, who, until the appointment of a keeper, was now actiug as the head uruu at the station, had gone Into the bout-room adjoining the kitchen. It was a room about ill) feet loug, with a big door mouth in front, and a glass eye o.i each of two sides. The boat-rooin contained the big surf-boat, warranted to be twenty four feet in leugth aud not to sink, as it was buoyed up by air chambers at each end. Then there was a cart,l ad ed with all kinds of apparatus needed for the relief of a wreck, and ready to be rolled out of the boat-room's 'mouth' the very moment it was opened. In this room there were also coils of rope, a light line to le shot to a wreck and a mortar for shootiug it,a breeches-buoy, a life car, drawers picked with rockets aud coast signals—bow many things, indeed. The acting keeper now came out of the boat-room, swinging a lan tern iu his hand. He was a short, stout man with gray whiskers and blue eyes, and he was dressed io a blue llau ael suit. 'You all ready, Sain ?' inquired the acting keeper. 'Jest about.' Sam had put on a short, heavy Usher man's jacket and a 'sou'wester,' aud tucked his trousers into a pair of long rubber boots that an elephaut (small one) could have walked in. Beneath the drooping eaves of his 'sou'wester' protruded a sharp red nose, and some where in the rear flashed two bright browu eves. A loug sandy beard fringed like a broom the lower portion of his face. 'Here's your time detector,' called out the acting keeper. 'AH right,' said Sam, picking up a small leather case, to which was at tached a long leather shoulder strap. 'And let me see ! I b'lieve I have got my custom signal,' exclaimed Sam, clapping his hand down on his pockec and proving its contents. The 'signal' was a small black package, perhaps tnree inches long and an inch in diame ter. It fitted into a brass socket fur nished with a handle. When the han dle was pressed down,this drove a sharp rod out of the socket into the signal, striking a percussion cap which ignited a fuse. 'Come, Win I'called out Sam, snatching up a lantern. 'Time I was out on that 'ere beat.' He opened the door to Ift his com panion out, closed it, and then halted a minute to get, as he atlirmed, his 'bearin's,' 'There's a moon somewhere, and it isn't dark,'he said, looking up to the stars that snapped like small coals on a big, black hearth. Then he looked off on the sea, which was an indefinite mass of darkness, but announced its presence by a steady and rather a sav age roar-r-r r! There was a little snow that whitened the rocky rim of the heach along which they slowly trudged. 'What do you say they call you ?' asked Win. 'I am a surfman, and that mean 3, I s'pose, good at handliu' a craft in the surf; and then I go on these beats and am a patrolman,' replied Sam. 'How many watches do you have at night ?' 'Wall, the firsi watch is from sunset till eight, and the second from eight to twelve, and from twelve till four is tne third watch, aud from four till sunrise, or at eight, is the fourth watch. Then comes the first watch again. We have to go in the daytime if the weather is so thick and hazy that we can't see two miles each way from the station. That 'ere lookout on top of the Station is where we watch on clear days, and we put down each vessel that passes.' On they stumbled, over the black, slippery rocks thai the tide had lately washed, splisliing now through dark pools, then stepping into a patch of soft gray sand, or hobbling over the uneasy pebbles that gave the beacli its name. All the while Sam's lantern twinkled faithfully by tne side of its master, and Win kept up a persevering fire of questions. •Do you have many in your crew ?' 'We have a keeper and seven surf men, one bein' cook. I tell ye, Win, on a howlin night, it is tough goin' a long shore. Once I was an hour and a half goin' a mile. You see, my lantern was blown out.aud then I couldn't see.' 'How many stations are there in the United States ?' MILLIIEIM, PA., THURSDAY, APRIL 22., 1880. 'Tlw re were one hundred and eighty nine by the last oflleial report,hut there are more now. They are uddin' all the time. IIro, at this station, we go on the first of September ami leave by the first of May, and each man has fifty dollars u mouth from the (Government. We have to find, though, our own rations.' 'Now, Sam, what would you do if you should .-co a wreck V' 'Wall, I should burn my signal, and hurry to the station and rouse 'em.' 'What then ?' 'Wall, we should launch the surf boat if it wasn't too rough, and if 'twas, we should get out the mortar and the Lyle gun, and tiro a line to the wreck, if neai enough.' 'What then ?' 'Wall, we should send 'em a life car or the breeches-buoy, and it they're sensible, they'll come ashore in a 'inaz in' quick time.' Tiny had now left the beach, and were crossing a snowy field. 'So quick !' said Sam. 'Here we are at the house where I take out my de tector.' 'ln that leather case you carry ?' 'Yes. This is an ingenious way, 1 think, to make us faithful. I)J you see that key ?' As Sun held up the lantern, Win caught the gleam of a brass chain that secured a key to the wall of the hous *. Sam took the key, inserted it in the lime detector, turned it till it clicked, and then, turning it back, withdrew and placed it i.i its niche. 'There, when you heard that click, a little dial inside was struck, and to morrow mornin' the actio' keeper will take the dial out, look at it, and see the record of my faithfulness,' said Sam, proudly. The patrollman here turned, and, pointing his sharp nose toward the beach once more, followed it faithfully. With him went the battered old 'sou'- wester,' time detector, ctiston signal, and all, till, once more, Sam and his young companion were stumbling over the slippery rocks, among the dripping pools, the sand patches, and trie ugly bowlders aud pebbles. 'Hullo !' exclaimed Sam, suddenly aud excitedly. The patrollman, who had been slouching along, lazily swing ing his lantern,apparently seeing noih iug but his rubber boots, and yet in re ality watching the dark, treacherous sea closely, as a hound would eye an enemy's track, was a very different be ing now. Ilis Ugure straightened ; the old sou'wester went .back as if struck by a big meteorite. Down he set his lantern, out came his custon signal, the rod in the liaudle was forced down,and up into the night Hashed a red light. The locks, the pools, the sand,the surf, were stained by this warning ray,while Sam dancea along the sands, aud then slipped down to the edge of thecrim s med,tumbling surf as if a gazelle and not a heavy patrolman were inside the big rubber boots. 'What is It ?' asked the astonished Win, who thought Sam had gone crazy. 'Don't yer see ?' 'Oh, yes ! There it is !' The 'it' was a dark object that Sam pronounced a 'coaster,' its sails loom ing up against the stariy sky. and mov ing dangerously near the rocky shore. 'All right !' exclaimed Sam. 'She's doin' better ! Didn't you bear 'em say, 'Hard up ! Put your hel-um up !' ' 'I tell ve, a patrolman is all ears at such a tiuie.'j 'All legs, also, I should say. 7 'Ha, ha ! she's all right ! Next time, you land lubbers, try and do better.' 'Wonder who those are aboard.' 'Don't know. However, I'd signal if I knew it was my worst enemy.' 'Have you any enemies?' asked Win, surprised to know that this good matur ed patrolman had an enemy. 'I began to think I had one t'other day,' said Sam,' as the two slowly walked toward the station. 'Our life saying sta! ions are set of in deestricks, and there's a superintendent over each one. Ours came down on me hist week —his |natne'.s Myrich—'cause he said I'd been drinkin' at the village the night afore, and he could prove it. He said I'd left my name, 'Sam Williams,' chalked on the saloon counter. It wasn't rue, for "bout that time I was down here, as I ought to have been,but I couldn't prove what they call an alihi —or lallyby, as a man said -for nobody here saw me just that hour, as I was outside the house, a strolliu'back of it. Myrich was down on me, and didn't drop ine, but put me on probation ! Me on probation I I felt pretty hard to ward Myrich, I tell ye.' Sam fumed all the way to the station and yet when Win asked him if lie would have burned that 3ianal for My rich, Sam's prompt answer was : 'l'd have burnt it for a dog, and of course I would for Myrich. Musn't let your fcelin's interfere with your duty.' The next day Sam was about enter ing the station after a walk down Peb- bly Beach, when he halted in the door- A PA PUR I'OLL THE HOME CIRCLE way. Theie was the little living room. Betwt en the two windows, eyeing the east, was llie stove. Above it was a wooden framo for drying all kinds of wet things. A cupboard was in one c uner, and opposite was a yellow din ing table. Over the table, on the wall, ticked a clock, and a bai omelet* said 'Fair.' The surfmen wore sitting a bout the stove. Were they ail surf iuen? Out from this group stepped Mr. Mytieh, the Superintendent of the life-saving district. Advancing toward Sam, he said, 'Williams, you know I felt obliged to put you on probation the other day, but 1 learn that 1 was mis taken in my man— that somabolv else by the name of Sim Williams was the chap iu that saloon at the village. 1 learn that you were the patrol who burnt his signal so promptly last night, and I happened to b > on Lit at very ves sel. 1 came hero to transfer the acting keeper to be the head of another sta tion, and 1 shall write to Washington that they must appoint you keeper hei(.' And what could Sam Williams say ? Imagine ! THE MAN UNDER THE BED Little Stories Illustrating Bravery in Women. Every night hundreds of people, in fear and trembling with sticks in their hands, look below the bed for that "Man." I'oor Pussie gets many a knock when her glaring eyes -shine bright through the darkness, and the stick is brought thundering down on her sensitive back. If Pussie gives a fright to her good mistiess, she pays her back when she springs out and leaves her mark on the good woman's nose, while her lord and master unfeel ing wretch that he is, growls—"Serves you right. What in all the world do you expect to find !" But if women—especially women who have nerves—oftenest look for the hid den foe.they are not the or.ly searchers, for there is a story told of a worthy Scotch lairil, who "caught his man," and who brought all his household to his loom, with his shouts and laughter. There they saw the laird pulling out a man by the heels, and heard him cry : "('•me oat. I've found ye noo. My certy, I've looked every nieht for twen ty years, and this is the first sicht i hue goto'ye." Then the laird gave the "Man" the reward he had laid up for 20 years. There is a story told of a lady who somehow saw that a man had got below her bed. She was up in years. Her maids slept quiet at another end of the house. She knew that to scream out was to bring death to herself. So she sat down and calmly read aloud, then prayed, and then went to bed. And then the man, conscience-stricken, left the house, and years after said that her coolness had reformed him ; and her brave and liable conduct had made him ashamed to rob or hurt any one in that house. But there are very few people living who could copy that old lady's coo'ness. Most women would have screamed, or looked below every bed in the house at a reasonable hour, witli her in lids arm ed with pokers in their company. A mong the many stories of men found in hiding below the bed there never seems to have been one who was not armed to the teeth. And he always was lound out and punished as ho deserved Nor is t to be wondered at. For creeping under a bed is no easy task. It takes learning. And one wonder how any man armed to the teeth ever managed it. lie must have felt his position dreadfully. lii tlie West there is ;i story of two servants left 111 charge of a large man sion near Glasgow. The cook had gone first up to bed, and when the house maid followed she saw the heel of a man's boot where - 'nao bait should be," and remembering the warning she had got, she determined to "do" the owner. It would never have done to have told the cook, but she was exceedingly anx ious to tell Aleck, the gurdeuer. " What a time ye're coiuin 1 to your bey," grumbled her "neebour." "Deed ye may say it," answered the house maid. ".Sic dirty wark as I hue had. I hae fair spoiled a' my goon." "Ye'll be shaking it here an' makin' a stour," said the cook. "I hae mair sense," answered the girl as she opened the window and shook her dress outside. "Plague tak' it," she cried, "there's my goon ower the windy." "Mercy an us—the woman's daft," cried the cook. "Ye'ilgutit free the mistress. My word,you're in for't." "Ay, but I'll fetch it up," said her neebour, as she Hew down the stairs, and then on to the gardener's, leaving the poor cook quite easy in her mind, little dreaming of "armed to the teeth" so near her. The gardener was in the room before the "goon" was, and that man was pulled out and got his deserts.

Hte Four-Hundred Dollar Banquot, Tho Irishman and the monkey. A Washington letter says : 1 hoard the first true version of the monkey and hand organ story which has been pri vately told iu army circles bore now and then, but not always correctly. It comes to me from a high treasury olli cial, who had something to do with the settlements of Gen. Butler's army ac counts. These iccouuts were very large and some of the Items seemed out of all nature to the expenses probably incur red. After Butler, however, explained them, it was? seen tint they were per fectly l ight and proper. There were so many of these strange items that But ler was called to the treasury to look o ver the accounts with the officials. One New Orleans item objected to was "Banquet, Rest Ollice St. Charles Ho tel— $400." 'Now,' said tho treasurer, 'it's all right, Gen. Butler, for you to give as many banquets as you please, but I don't see how, iu justice you could ask Uncle Sain to pay SIOO for a supper which you choose to give to the post master at New Orleans al the St. Charles Hotel there.' 'Oh,' said Gen. Butler, with a laugh, 'That item is easily explained. 'Ban quet,' is the New Orleans name for street,and that S4OO was spent for fixing the street between the post ollice and St. Charles Hotel.' Alter the laughter over this item had subsided, the treasury official said : 'Well, Gen. Butler, I have no doubt these accounts are right, and if you will explain satisfactorily one other item I will pass them. Ilere is a charge of SSO tor a hand organ and a monkey. Now what possible use a hand organ and a monkey would be to the United States Government, or to you as its General, I cannot see.' Gen. Butler then told the following : 'I can also explain that hand organ and monkey item. It was the hottest time ot my campaign about Baltimore. The rebels were very close mouthed, and I could gt-t no inside news of tho doings of the rebels. One day I saw a great crowd gathering round a man with a hand organ who had a very large mon key. As I drew nearer I noticed that the man playing the organ looked very much like a smart Irishman whom I had among my soldiers. I said nothing but went back to my headquarters, and calling up the Irishman, in whom I had perfect confidence, gave him some mon ey and told him to go and buy out the musician. He did so. lie bought tho hand organ, the monkey, and the mu sician's clothes, and paid SSO for them. Dressed in these, I sent him out as a spy. He traveled all the surrounding country and gave me some very valu a ble information. This information was worth thousands of dollars to the Uni ted States Government, and,' conclud ed Butler, 'you can thus see why it paid the United States to pay SSO for a hand organ and a monkey.' Filthiness of Imported Rags. (Great quantities of rags are shipped to the United States from all parts of the world. They are usqd for making paper, ami arc sent from the seaboard to the various paper mills throughout the country. The annual importa tion amounts to about five hundred thousand bales. Each bale contains from four hundred to one thousand pounds of rags. They are tightly pressed together, and come into this country securely bound for shipping. You can have no idea of the sources from which these rags are obtained. A large quantity of them come from Japan, and thousands ot bales from Calcutta. The Calcutta rags are the worst. Tbey are made up in a large part from the wrappings of dead bodies. The bodies of the dead are thrown into the river,and when these rags float ashore or can other wise be gotten, they are shipped here for tho paper trade. Sometimes impurities of different kinds creep into the bales. Iu one bale,ubt long ago, a dead baby was found, and in other bales other foul matter has been discovered. The Egyptian rags are largely taint ed with camel's manure, aud those gathered from the gutters and streets of Shanghai are foul beyond descrip tion. A great amount of rags comes from Japan to us. I think there are more than forty thousand bales now on the way. Some of the rags sent to this country come from districts in which infectious diseases are rag ing, and it is a fact worth noticing that all of the vessels arriving here, iu which small-pox has broken out, tave been vessels carrying rags. The city of New York embraces an area of 24,394 acres. Within the city limits are 500 miles of public roads, ex clusive of parks, and to clean these sl,- 100,000 was expended in the year 1885 iSeventy-liye thousand dollars is an nually spent in removing snow and ice alone. Terms, SIOO per Year, in Advance. A Georgia Romance. About two years before the war,near a pretty and substantial residence near a prosperous little town, a beautiful young lady, about fourteen, was sleep ing iu a hammock swung from two stately oaks in a groye. She was a pretty picture of innocence and grace, and won the admiration of the passers. In a mcdow to the rear a fat,meek-eyed cow ncliued iu the shade, ruminating the food she had gathered in the cool of tiie morning. Across the roiid from the house, the girl, and the cow is a meadow, a branch running through it, and coming up the brand) is a boy with a gun. When within one hundred yards of the girl, and about one hun dred and fifty yards from the cow, a bird fluw up and sailed in the air to ward the cow; the boy fired at the bird, winch fiew on unhurt, hut the cow re ceived a pretty strong dose of shot. She immediately arose In fright,dashed through the groye, caught the girl and hammock on her borus, arid rushed with her shrieking victim about the lot. The terrified girl bt came silent, and the crowd of relatives and friends in pursuit thought that she was dead. The wild fury of the cow as she rushed around soon tore the netting loose, and the girl dropj>ed unconsciously to the ground. .She was picked up and takeu into the house, and on examination on ly a few minor bruises were found. The boy. thinking he was the inoocent cause of the killing of the young girl, disappeared. It was thought that he had perished by his own hand, but a bout six years after the war a travel-' stained stranger was in the towu in quiring for persons, most of whom h id been swept away by the wai. After a long search the stranger found au old man on a load of wood, and in conver sation with him learned where one pf the parties he was in search of lived, a few miles out of town. He went there, made himself known, aud turned out to be the boy of the guo. The people he found were his father and mother, wfio had mourned him dead for eight years. The boy had been in South America, got rich, and, yearning for the love of the old folks.returned to the desolate home of his childhood and made his loved ones comfortable. For the first time, then, hearing that the girl was uninjured, he called on her, found her pretty, good,and a first-class home woman. He put in with a will, got her heart as his own, and the old folks' consent, and ha 9 been for the last twelve or fourteen years one of the leading men of this section. This is a fact.— Americus {Oa.) Recorder. George Washington as a Jumper. When Washington was a young man in traveling along the upper Potomac he stoped at an inn one day and inquir ed tlie news. The landlord told him the sensation of the day was a jumping match for a wife on the estate of one of the richest planters near by. Ou being told that it was open to all comers, Washington started for the place and arived there just as the jumping was a bout completed. lie noticed that the young lady in question was highly pleased with the successful jumping of one of the competitors who had out-dis tanced all of the others. At the close Washington asked if he might try his chances. lie was told to go a head,and he made by far the best jump of the day. As he returned to the crowd he noticed that the young lady's face had fallen, and he went up to her and re marked : 'You would have preferred I had not been the one to excel the other V The lady candidly said this was so. 'Then,' said Wash ington, 'I give my chance to him,' and he returned as unknown as he came. Towards the close of the Revolution this young lady, now the wife of a colo nel of militia, met Washington and 011 telling her husband that she had met him before he doubted the fact, and the two went to Washington to decide it. 'Yes,' replied Gen. Washington, 'I saw yoHr wife at the jumping match before she was married, and I believe I won her.' A Dread of Matrimony. In some cases .Chinese girls have such a dread of the matrimonial chain that they prefer death to marriage. 'Of all people,' said Confucius, 'women are most difficult to manage. If you are familiar with them, they become for ward, and, if you keep them at a dis tance, they become discontented.' So many are the disabilities of married women that many girls prefer going to Buddhist or Tauist nun eries, or even committing suicide, to trusting their future to men of whom they can know nothing but from the interested reports of the go-betweens. Archdeacon Gray, in his work on China, states that in 1878 eight young girls residing near Canton 'who had been affianced frown ed themselves in order to avoid mar riage. They clothed themselves in their best attire, and-at eleven o'clock, in the darkness of thecnight.havir.g bound themselves firmly to-gether, they threw themselves into a tributary stream of the Canton river.'
