Patrolling the Beach.
'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.

ANEUDOTES OF BUTLER.
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,-

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.'

My sou, it is a com lofting doe trim 1 ,
and one that men often preaCb to
each other, that a man desfcfHt all
credit for every thing good that he
does, and lor all the good he is,
hut that somebody else is to blame for
all the evil in him. Mr. Goiigh has
been criticised for saying—'Young
men, make your record clean.'•
prophets who speak comfortably say
that the young man cannot make his
record clean when his father makes a
bad record before him ; that society
aud the evil tendencies of it,and some
thing the sciential? call bis 'environ
ment,' write the yoong man's record
bad in spite of him. Oh ! my <lear
boy,this is a doctrine too cowardly for
a young man to accept, fiver since
Adam, the founder of society nod the
inventor of the first record ever made
in this world, a man without an 'en
vironment'to bis back, made a bad
record and then said; 'The woman
thou gavest to be with me, she did it
all,'men have always pleaded the irre
sistible force of surroundings and cir
cumstances. The woman was young
er than Adam; she was weaker *,
many wise men say she is intellectual
ly the inferior of man ; she was 4
new-comer in the garden, and yet,bow
glad your old grandfather waa to aay
that it waa all your grandmother 'a
fault; and that, being thus led astray
by influences and examples which no
man could control or resist, he should
not be responsible for bit disobedi
ence ! And in her turn yotir grand
mother laid it on to the snake, just as
to day in Christian homes all over
this land, the evil deeds of men and
servants are laid to the cat. But, for
all this excuse, Adam was fired out of
the garden, and it served him right
Now, my boy, the other man may eat
forbidden fruit until he founders, and
not a bite that be swallows is going
to hurt you. A dose strychnine big
enough to kill a cow won't hurt yon
if you don't swallow any of it When
you swear, you do your own swear
ing ; you can't borrow another man's
tongue to damn a beggar with.
When you get drunk, you get drunk.
The law doesn't fine the man who sells
the whiskey ; it fines the man who
drinks it. When you steal anything,
from a pin to the Broadway road,you
do your own stealing, and—in the
case of the pin at least—the law holds
you responsible for it, not the man
who coaxed you to steal, nor yet the
citizen who,by owning valuable prop
erty which you could not buy,thereby
tempted you to steal it. You are the
fellow who does all the wickedness
that is wrought by your hands and
your lips. It tires me to hear a man
always excusing himself, and citing
some dreadful, wicked Jeroboam
which made him to sin. Not, indeed,
tLat we hold the Jeroboams guiltless.
'lt must needs be that offenses come ;
but woe to that man by whom the
offense cometh !' But because the
mill-stone and a soft place in the sea
is the proper combination for the man
who helps you to stumble, you do not
go free. I have no right to turn a
cross dog into the street; but if I do,
he will bite you if you go fooling a
round him Wherefore 'cave caaem,'
which by interpretation is: 'Don't
monkey with the dog.' As the dog
will not beware of you, do you be
ware of the dog. You may have no
ticed on the sacredotal garments of
your instructor, my son, some queer,
unsightly splashes here and there.
Well, I put them on myself. With
out the assistance or by the fault of
any man I did it. And if there are
any more to go on before I haye it
renovated, I am the only'fellow who
put them there. Now you may
go and plsy and have fun, and do
not let me ever again hear you say
that you would be the best boy in the
world if only all the other boys were
dead.
