oriffln aud Queer Old Wayn etc., of a
pioneer Steamship company.
BY MARK TWAIN.
It is a carious, self possessed, old-fash*
ioned company, the Canard. (Scotch
men they are.) It was horn before the
jays of steamships; it inaugurated, ocean
steamer lines, it never has lost more;
than one vessel; It has never lost a pas*
senger’s life at all; its ships are net?rlu
gged ; great merchantile firms do not in*
sure their goods sent over in Canard
ships ; it is rather safer to be In their
vessels than on shore. Old-fashioned is
tbe word.
When a thing is established by the Gun*
arders, it is there lor good and all, almost.
Before adopting a rtew thing tlie chiefs
cogitate and cogitate and cogitate ; then
they lay it before their head surveyor,
their head merchant, ihelr head-builder,
and their head engineer, and all the cap
tains in the service, and they go off and
cogitate about a year; then it the new
wrinkle is approved it is adopted and put
inf.) the regulations. In the old days,
near forty years ago, when this was an
ocean line of sailing vessels, corpses were
eel permitted by the company to take
Passage, or go as freight, either—sailor
superstition, you know. * .
Very well; to this day they won’t car
ry corpses. Forty s’ears ago they always
had stewed prunes and rice for dinner on
dufl” days; well,to this present time,
•whenever duft day comes around, yon will
always have your regular slewed prunes
and rice in a Cunarder. If you don’t get
anything else, you can always depend on
that—and depend on it with your money
up, too, if you are that kind of a person.
It lakes them about ten or fifteen years
to manufacture a captain ; but when they
got him manufactured to smt at last, they
have full confidence in him. The .only
order they give the captain is this, brief
and to the point; “Your ship is loaded,
take her; speed is nothing; follow your
own road, deliver hei safe, bring her back
safe—safety is all that is required.”
The noted Cunard company is compos
ed simply of two or three grandchildren,
who have stepped into the shoes of two
or three children, who stepped into the
shoes of a couple of old Scotch fathers;
for Burns and Maclvor were the* Cnnard
company when it was born ; It was Burns
and Maclvor when the originators had
passed away; it is Burns and Maclvor
still in the third generation—never has
bem out of the two families. Bures was
a Glasgow merchant, Maclvor was an old
sea dog, who sailed a ship for him in ear
ly times. That vessel’s earnings were
cast into a sinking fund ; with the money
ihev built another ship, and then another,
and thus the old original packet line from
Glasgow to Halifax wag established.
A.i that time the mails were slowly and
(itecsirely carried in English govern
racm vessels.' Burns & Maclvor and
Judge Haltburton -(“Sam Slick”) fell to
considering a scheme of getting the job
of carrying these mails in private bot-
toms. Id order to manage the thing they
need to be quiet about it, and also they
needed faster vessels. Hallburton had a
relative who was not a shining success in
practical life, but bad an inventive head ;
name, Sam Canard; he took his old jack
knife and a shingle and sat down and
whittled out this enormous Royal Mail
Line of vessels that we call the Canard
ers—a great navy It is—doing business in
every ocean ; owning forty-five steam
sh ps of vast cost; conducting its affairs
with the rigid method and system of a
national navy 4 promoting by merit, pri
ority in routine, and for conspicuous ser
v 1 oe ; using a company uniform ; retiring
and disabled men and offl
cers on permanent pensions, and num
bering its servants by hundreds and
thousands. In its own private establish
ment in Liverpool it keeps 4,000 men
under pav. That is what Sam Canard
whittled out.
That is to say, he whittled out a little
mode! for a fast vessel; it was satisfacto
ry ; he was instructed to go and get the
maj) contract, simply under bis own
nhnae ; he did it, and the company became
romm>nlv known as the Conard Com
; then the company tried steam and
made it work; they prospered, and
bought out Haliburton, and also Canard’s
Htt!e interest ; they removed Canard to
Ergland and made him their London
a pnt; he grew very-rich and unspeaks
bly respectable, and when he died be died
mi as a poor, dreaming provincial whit
of experimental models, hot as the
fireat Sir Samuel Cona-d, K. C. 8., or 6.
W X,, or something like that, for the
sovereign had knighted him.
Well, the Canard Company is a great
mstitutioo, and has got more money than
you and I put together ; and yet none of
the family ever write editorials Or deliver
fc(%es. The company have built school
hoctes and they educate the children of
their employees ; they are going to build
dwellings tor their shoremen that shall be
cheap and clean and comfortable; when
° ne of their men dies, a subscription list
about bis ship or in whatever arm of
the service his name is booked, and what
ever sum is raised tbeCunard Company
add just a similar sum, and it all goes to
the man’s heirs. • Their, system, of pen
sions— ■ v ; ...
But I have nevet been ofiereda cent
lur aIJ this ;lam notetfen acquainted
w ‘th a member of tbe-Cuniard company,
i think I will wait awhile before I gb'; on
"'t cramps my bandito write so much on
‘ stretch. Bat it is all right, anyway.
Sfl many thousands of Americans have
' riiv eied iu those steamers that they will
•the to read about that company.
COURTSHIP AFTER CARRIAGE.
There was much more than a mere-wit
ticism in the remark of the old bachelor
who had'paid attentions to a maiden lady
for twenty years* visiting her regularly
every night, when rallied for not marry*
ing: “If I were married 1 should have
nobody to court, and no place $ go at
night” He bad deeply felt the .contrast
between bis own delicate and etbereal en
joyments, and the hard, discontented,
fretted life of too many married people,
and his- way ; was irony. He saw there
was something in courtship wbich/too
often exhales and expires after marriage,
leaving a cold, dull, monotonous burden,
where all wu®; beauty and buoyages be*
fore. Let ns see wbat that something is.
In courtship nothing la takea for granted.;
Both parties are. pot on the hr; good; be*
ha? lor. Love keeps itself fresh and. ac
tive by constant expression in word and
act. But, strange to say, courtship usu
ally ends with marriage. Very eopn both
parties yield to the sense of possession,
and the feeling of security robs gallantry
of motive, and extracts the poetry from
the mind. The beautiful attentions
which were so pleasing before marriage
are too often forgotten afterwards; the
gifts cease to come, or come only with the
asking; the music dies out of the voice;
everything is taken for granted, and the
love that, like the silver jet of a fountain,
leaped to heaven, deemed its natural oat
let, ceases to flow altogether. Then comes
dull, heavy, hard days, with two unhap
pinesses tied together, and wishing them
selves apart, and not always content with
merely wishing. This is unnatural and
wrong. What married life wants to give
it new tone and sweetness is more of the
manner as well as the spirit of the court
ing time. Very much of the pleasures of
courtship comes from the constant atten
tion of the parties to others. Their affec
tion voices itself in all possible ways.
Every sentence is ejdged with compliments
and spoken in tender tones. Every look
is a confession. Every act is a new word
in the exhaustless vocabulary of love.
Kiss and caresses are parenthetic clauses
and gestures it the dialect of love, and
gifts and sacrifices are the more emphatic
expressions of the spirit no language can
folly articulate and no devotion declare.
And it is a fact that affection confesses
itself continually in look and word and
act, making the voice musical and the
fingers poetic in their touch and doing,
that makes experience so beautiful, the
only Eden many a woman has on earth.
Love most have expression or it will die.
It can be kept forever beautiful and bless
ed as at the first, by giving it constant ut
terance in word and act. The more it is
allowed to flow oat in delicate attentions
and noble service, the stronger and more
satisfying and more blessed it will be
The house becomes borne only when love
drops its heavenly manna in it fresh every
the true marriage vowbf-bftd*
not once for all at the altar, but by loving
words and helpful service abd delicate at
tentions to the end.— Gdden Age.
A TEBBIBLE WARNING TO EVE
A Well-Known Citizen of Chicago
Comes to Life In His Coffin.
A few days ago, says the Chicago
Times, Mr. Muhlbescb was taken sudden
ly ill, at bis residence. His disease was
of a very acute nature, and in spite of all
the efforts of his physicians he died after
a brief illness, and his sorrowing friends
made ready for the funeral. An unde rla
ker was summoned, and the body prop
erly laid out, and yesterday the funeral
services took place from his late residence.
After the customary services had been
performed, and the sorrowing relatives
had taken their last look of the deceased,
the coffin lid was screwed down, and the
funeral cortege moved slowly toward the
quiet confines of Qraceland cemetry,
where the body was finally lowered sadly
into the grave which had been prepared
for it. The last prayer had been offered
and the last solemn service repeated,
when, just as the sexton seized bis spade
and was about to drop the first shovelful
of earth upon the coffin, a sound some
thing like a stifled groan, followed by a
scratching noise, as if the dead, man was
trying to release himself from the confines
of his narrow bouse, eras heard proceeidng
from the still open grave.
For an instant every heart stood still,
and the blood of every listener seemed tv
curdle in his veins. The women screamed,
and hastened toward the carriages while
the men were notslOw in following them.
In an instant the sexton was the only
man left at the grave,'abd be, too, trem
bling at what he bad never beard, before.
Finally he recovered presence of mind
enough to descend into the grave and
break open the rough box in which the
coffin was encased. r
Then tbe noise was repeated, and be
knew that the occupant of that grave; who
In a few minutes more would have been
consigned to a horrible death, and Whom
his friends hid already mourned as dead;
was still alive and and anxious to be set
free. A screw-driverwas soon procured
from tbe undertaker present, and the cof
fin lid removed, when its occupant, in
stead of being cold dead, as be bad
appeared when last seen, was found to be
once more alive.
Bit friends, who had by this time re*
coveted con rage enough to return to the
gr*ve, Were, of coots©, almost overjoyed
at thiaFstrange and unexpected turn of af
fairs, ajjd hastened tb rescue the late de*
ceased from his unpleasant quarters and

waiting, white-be was rolltdup In a
plentiful supply of blanbets and laprobes

was for a long tiajii unable, to speak; and

or not until , the last ippm.eot when he
