THE BOUND OF LIFE.
Two chlldrn down by tho shtnlnjt strand,
With eyes asi bine s the summer sxa.
While the sinking "nn fills al) the land
With the jrlow of a golden mystery ;
Langhine aloud at the sea-mew's cry,
Gazing with Joy on Its snowy breast,
Till the first star looks from the evening sky,
And the amber bars stretch over the West.
A soft green dell by the breezy shore.
A sailor lad and maiden fair ;
Hand clasped In hand, while the tale of yore
Is borne again on the listening air.
For love Is young though love be old,
And love alone the heart can fill ;
And the dear old tale that has been told
In the days gone by Is spoken still.
A trim-built home on a sheltered bay ;
A wife looking out on the glistening sea ;
A prayer for the loved one far away.
And prattltnglmps 'neath the old roof-tree ;
A lifted latch and a radiant face
By the open door In the. falling ntgbt ;
A welcome home and a warm embrace
From the love of bis youth and bis child
ren bright.
An aged man In an old arm-chair ;
A golden light from the Western sky,
His wife by his side, with her silvered hair :
And the open Book of God close by.
Sweet on the bav the gloaming falls."
And bright is the glow of the evening star ;
But dearer to them are the lasper walls
And the golden streets of the land afar.
An old churchvard on a hillside.
Two lying still In their peaceful rest :
The fisherman's going out with the tide
In the Bery glow of the amber West.
Children's laugh and old men's sighs.
The night that follows the morning clear,
A ralnhow bridging onr darkened skies,
Are the rounds of our lives from year to
year I Chamber' Journal.
UALLAXT DEEDS.
rNSTAIfCKB OF KSROISV WHICH TUB ALEX
ANDRIA CON FLICT RKV1YSD.
The dispatches from Alexandria enlarge
npon the wonderful devotion and extraordi
nary bravery of the gunner on board one of
the British vessels who picked up a shell
with a bnrntng fuse and Immersed it in a
bucket of water. This was courageous
act, but It was not "more gallant than any
thing of the sort ever before chronicled."
During onr own war for the Union hundreds
of cases as desetving of mention occurred.
At Stone River, when Croft's Brigade of
Palmer's Division was pursuing the routed
rebels on the 2d of January, they came sud
denly on a reserve battery that opened on
them with surprising fury. The men were
ordered to lie down, and dropped In the soft
mud of a cornfield. The rebel artillerymen
had the range, however, and poured shot
and shell Into the advance line In a way that
tore some unfortunates In pieces and cover
ed nearly every one with mud. In the
midst of the terrlffic fusilade a shell struck
between two men lying flat on the ground so
near to their heads as to stun both. Dozens
of men, the bravest there, closed their eyes
In anticipation of the terrible scene that
would follow the explosion. But one of the
soldiers at whose shoulder the smoking
shell had struck, digging np a handful of
mud, held it aloft for a moment while he
said coolly, "Ten to one, boys, she don't
bust," and then with a sort of gleeful agility
he brought his great wad of mud down on
the shell smoking In the shallow hole, and
she didn't burst." Xo one thought George
Hunt, of Company C, First Kentucky In
fantry, a hero for doing that, but possibly he
ranked as the courageous gunner on the Al
exandria.
Another case : When Sherman was getting
ready for his move on Atlanta great quanti
ties of ammunition were stored In the rail
road sheds at Resaca. One day In the midst
of a thunderstorm that dismantled the camp
the ammunition building was struck by
lightning. Finndreds of the bravest soldiers
ran blindly away as they saw the boxes of
shells thrown about, saw the guards drop as
If shot, and saw smoke Issuing from the top
of the great pile of explosives. But one
man, clear-eyed and ecol-headed, saw that
the smoke came from one In wh.ch the shells
were packed, and, climbing to the top, seiz
ed the burning mass, and holding It np
shouted. "All right boys ; no fireworks this
time. His Intrepidity and alertness saved
the ammunition and possibly many lives,
and his record should be kept as green as
that of the gallant gunner of the Alexan
dria.
These are only sample cases. The Amer
ican war for the Union brought hundreds of
such gallant deeds Into clear light, and there
Is no good reason why they should be for
gotten.
Around thb World for Nothing.
Our Parisian contemporary, La Figaro, has
hit npon an ingenious expedition for effectg
a journey around the world without any ex
pense whatever to the traveler, Iwblch expe
dition It fervently recommends to enterprl
sing bnt impecunious tourists for their adop
tion. The first thing the wanderer does is to
become a Jew. Having performed this pre
liminary feat, he must contrive to effect a
lodgment npon some portion of the Czar's
territory. Thence he will be Immediately
expelled, and conveyed gratis to Lemberg,
Gallcia. At Galicia bo will be received bv
Mr. Lawrence Ollphant, who will forward
him to the United States at the cost of the
Jewish Relief Fund. Ai rived In America,
the traveler puts on the raiment and demean
or of a Chinese. He will then be conveved
to the flowery realm free of charge by a phi
lanthropic company bent npon eliminating
the Celestial element from the States. Im
mediately on being set ashore In a Chinese
port be should give out that be la a born Rus
sian, Intrusted wltb a secret political mission,
and therefore traveling In disguise. The
Chinese authorities wlll.af once canse him to
be'transported to tbelr northwestern frontier.
where they will band him over to the Rus
sians. These, as soon as they find the stran
ger Is a Jew, will pass him over to the capital
of Austrian Poland; andwhen, for the second
time be arrives In Lemberg, be will have'"put
a girdle round about the earth" quite as in
expensively, If not altogether as expeditious
ly as ever Puck did In bis best days.
As Aw to. Supposition. Dr. Wilkes, in
his recent work on Physiology, remarks that
"It is estimated that the bones of every adult
person require to be fed with lime enough to
roake a marble mantel every eight months.
It will be perceived, therefore, that in the
course of about ten jears each of us eats
three or four mantelpieces and a few sets of
front door steps. And in a long life I sup
pose it is fair to estimate that a healthy
American could devour the Capitol at
Washington, and perhaps two or three medi
nm-sized marble quarries besides. It is aw
liuioumiK 01 tne consequence II a man
should be shut off from hia supply of lime for
a wniie and then should gut loose In a ceme
tery. An ordinary tomb-stone would hardly

THE LATA FLOW OF HILO.
HOW A HATIYK chiefebs stoppbd it with
A LITE PIQ.
I knew the first thing we should be shown
In Hllo would be the now almost cold lava,
flow, which last year came so near wiping
out tbe only town on the Island of nawaii,
stopping within a quarter of a mile of Hilo,
after flowing 70 miles toward it for nine long
months. They call it the "Hilo flow," al
though it came from old Mauca Loa, and are
rather proud of It, since It considerately stop
ped Just short of destroying the town and
harbor, yet came near enough to give the In
habitants an unequalled Fourth of July fire
works display every night for months. The
flow stopped In An gust of last year, and now
presents the appearance of a black, gleam
ing, turbulent river, winding for 70 miles'
down from Its source, 10,000 feet np Mauna
Loa, to the Hilo Bay, having eaten with Its
fangs of flame a pathway through forest and
fields, throngh cool, fern-carpeted dell and
over grassy plain, filling and reducing all the
pleasing inequalities on the face of nature
to its own black, ugly, ragged level for a
mile in width and for 70 miles in length.
The story of the beginning of tbe flow can
be briefly told. On the night of November
B, 1880, some terrific convulsion of nature
burst a mighty artery near the heart of tow
ering Mauna Loa; the surging, nnconfined
blood burst through a ghastly wound in the
mountain's sides, until at last its ocean-bathed
feet were stained with the hot, burning
blood. All that time, for nine months, from
the ragged rent the flow came in regular
spurts as each throb of the stricken, bleed
ing heart pulsed forth a migbty torret. that
wonld fill a score of ships.
Bnt what Interested roe the most was the
stoppage of this flow. It was the work of
human bands, and as such must be regarded
as a more remarkable performance than the
beginning Itself, which was, after all, a work
of nature, with which all things are possible.
The salvation of Hllo and its harbor from
destruction by black lava Is due to no less a
person than her royal Highness Ruth Keeli
kolanl, who, being the wealthiest lady on tbe
Islands, and sister to tbelr late Majesties
Kamehamehas IV and V, would naturally
know more about lava flows and bow to stop
them than any one else.
Governess Rnth, aa this capable lady Is
generally called, from being governess of on
of tbe Islands during her brothers' reigns Is
a full-blooded native, 64 years old, does not
speak a word of English, has a royal con
tempt for all foreigners and their new-fash
ioned airs, weighs between 300 and 400
pounds, walks abroad with toes In and chin
ont, followed by a troop of retainers, In good
oia reudai nays' stvle. and owns a town
bouse In Honolulu, the construction and fur
nishing of which wonld really be a credit to
Nob nill. Adored by all the natives, for
whose amusement and welfare she spends
large sums of money, who else than Ruth
would be asked to Intercede with Pele, the
goddess of volcanoes, where beautiful Hilo,
bay and town, were In' such dreadful dan
ger? Seeing that matters were, In fact, ta
king on a serious aspect, and that unless she
Interfered the oncoming lava would. Indeed,
destroy many homes and kalo patches, In-
n eluding several thonsand acres of her own
estates, Ruth at last decided to regulate af
fairs more in accordance with common sense.
She accordingly embarked on the steamer
Likelike at Honolulu, accompanied by the
royal band and many retainers, and with
ranch pomp and ceremony, and some sea
sickness, proceeded to Hllo.
There, In anticipation of her coming, the
natives from far and near had gathered on
the cocoanut-tree fringed beach to welcome
ber coming. A tent had been put np for her
nse near the edge of the flow, a couple of
miles back of the town, bnt when she ar
rived the utmost dismay prevailed, for it was
discovered that the Committee of Arrange--
ments had not provided any means of con
veylng Ruth from the landing to ber tent.
Walking such a distance was ont of the
question with Ruth, both her weight and
dignity presenting insuperable obstacles to
such a performance. The only wheeled ve
hicles in town were bullock carts, clumsy,
awkward affairs, used on the plantations for
sugar-cane carrying. A fgentleman living
some distance ont of town, who was the
happy possessor of a small, long-shafted,
two-wheeled cart, volunteered Its nse, and
It was hastily brought around for Ruth's oc
cupancy, having harnessed between and at
the end of its long shafts a small, surprised
looking donkey. The entrance to this two-
wheeled cart was from behind, and after a
live pig. a case of gin, and some other arti
cles with which Ruth was to stop the flow.
bad been placed under the seat, a strongbox
was placed behind the cart fov a stepping-
stone, and Kuth was escorted thereto.
I am told that when that donkey saw what
was going on and realized that Ruth was
about to enter the cart, its surprised look
gave way to one of bitter woe. And with
cause, for when Roth's somewhat more than
plump proportions, were suddenly planted
In that cart It tilted backward on its axle
with a sudden whack, tbe long shafts flew
skyward, and with them, firmly held by its
harness tbe anguish-stricken donkey, its feet
reeoiy pawing the empty air In dismal dejec
tion or ever again reaching the earth. The
pig flew thither and the gin whence, and
every devoted native in sight thought that
a greater catastrophe than the lava flow bad
befallen tbe island. But Ruth is not only a
woman or courage but also of determination.
ana oy otner means she at last reached
the tent prepared for :her and arranged to
stop the trouble. I consider It a great loss
to both history and science that no foreigners
accompanied Ruth wAen she pacified Pele,
for tne natives never preserve a historical
story until It has been embalmed In son
and then to be well preserved it must relate
to affairs generally untranslatable for polite
literature, as only natives accompanied
Ruth to ber tent and the lava river. I can
give no definite account of what rites she
performed. In a general way I learned that
Kuth Invoked Pele's consideration of affairs.
and made offerings of one live pig, one bot
tle of gin and a pound of tobacco, all thrown
Into the lava river. What the Invocation
was I cannot learn. The grand result re
mains, for within a few days after Ruth's
visit the flow did in fact stop. What though
cynics sneer, critics carp, and unbelievers
question ; did not Ruth go there to stop tbe
now, and did not the flow stop ? Is she not
to-day the wealthier, as well as otherwise
the most solid woman on the islands, and sis
ter to the late Kamenamehas IV and V ?
What more could anyone ask ? Correspond
ence of the San rraneisco Call.

THE LONG-LOST BROTHER.
Types are not warm enough to paint the
true, pathetic color of a picture seen Tues
day night on a north-side car about 10:30 o'
clock. The car was of the open kind and
was crowded with humanity struggling for
foot room. As It neared Clark-street bridge
a gentleman sitting pretty well forward no
ticed a lady standing on tbe east side of tbe
car, and clinging desperately to one of tbe
upright posts. He told the conductor to ask
ber to step forward and she might have bis
6eat. She came clambering forward and
took the;profferedseat with a hearty "Thank
ye." Tbe gentleman casually glanced at
her, and saw that she wa9 a neatly-dressed
Irish woman, about thirty-two years of age.
She spoke with a rich Irish brogue, and was
evidently a domestic. The car Jogged along
for several blocks, and, happening to glance
at the lady again, the gentleman noticed that
she was evidently laboring under some great
excitement Her bosom throbbed violently,
and her face, even In the poor light of the
car, was deadly pale. She was bending ea
gerly forward, and her eyes were strained to
their greatest extent at some object immedi
ately in front of her. Following the wo
man's, gaze it was seen that she was staring
straight into the face of a man who sat in
the opposite Beat. As the car passed on her
excitement seemed to increase, so much so
as to attract tbe attention of the other pas
sengers. Tbe man returned her gaze at In
tervals in a somewhat interested manner.
He was about twenty-six years old and look
ed as If be might be a mechanic. At length
the woman's breath came thick and fast and
leaning still further forward, she asked bim
hoarsely In her brogue :
"Aren't you from Oireland ?"
"I am," be answered, calmly. She quick
ly asked :
"From Ballansloe?"
"I was born there," he said, looking Into
her eye. She paused a long moment as If to
steady her voice ; it inivered like a child's,
as she half rose from her seat and inquired,
slowly :
"An Isn't yer name McCoskry ?"
"Yia," he answered quickly.
"Dan McCoskry ?"
(In a high key.)
"Dan McCoskry."
Tbe woman rose to ber feet, and crossing
herself, piously exclaimed in a deep and
earnest voice :
"Praise be to God, this blissed day. Thank
God I've found ye, Dan, at last." And be
fore she bad finished she was on his breast,
smothering him witb kisses. Tbe young
man seemed astonished, and she proceeded :
"Don't ye know me, Dan ? Yer sister
Nora. Praise be to God. I've found ye at
last. An me searchin for twilve year from
Boston to New York ; an' from New York
to Baltimore and from Baltimore to Cincin
natty. where I gave ye up six year ago. O I
God's good, an' so he is," and she showered

Pennsylvania Romance. An exchange
says : A resident New Yorker pointed out
to me this morning a citizen of Pittsburgh,
who was at one time a salesman in a retail
grocery there at a salary of $500 a year.
When the petroleum excitement became
rampant he went to Titusville, without any
money, and, after a few weeks, fell In with
a prosperous speculator and "struck 11,"
making 400,000 to f.WO.OOO In a year. He
increased this sum to fl.eoo.OOO, and was
urged by his friends to retire from the oil
region with the wages of his lnck. This he
refused to do, and before another year he
had lost all but a few thousand dollars.
Then he returned to Pittsburgh and went
to work In a legitimate way. But the fever
of speculation attacked him once more, and
be betook himself a second time to Oil Creek.
After various shifts and adventures for-
tune revisited him, and be was able to count
his million. Trying to double this be had
fixed his figure at 12,000,000 he was again
financially wrecked. This time be was so
poor that be stayed among the wells, and
was forced to earn a livelihood oy becoming
a day laborer. New opportunities opened
to him, and a third time he got very rich.
Reckless speculation once more brought him
low, and he left for California, hoping In Im
prove his prospects there. Tbe fascination
of petroleum drew him back. He made a
fourth fortune and lost it ; and finally a fifth.
with the same result.
Within a few months the fickle goddess
has smiled npon him for the sixth time, and
he has invested all his money in government
bonds in all amounting to (l, 700,000 and
forsworn speculation, ne sold all his oil be
fore the recent tumble in prices, and says he
has learned wisdom by experience. Ilaving
more than he will ever spend he ougrt to be
contented financially, and run no more risks ;
but I doubt if he will. The $2,000,000 he
had fixed npon he has not yet reached, and
he will be different from most speculators if
he can resist the old greed. His wife, who
is heie with four children two grown np
girls and two boys on the eve of manhood
was the counselor that Induced him to buy
governments. He himself is not yet;fifty
In no other country than this could a man

Andy Johnson's Bio Gamb. The Louis-

unquestioned orthodoxy. It prints the fol
lowing laughable story, without qualifying
the allegations itt-on tains :
" Johnson was a fine poker player one of
tbe best In Tennessee. He used to tell of a
game played with Grant In IBM. Grant, was
then at v ashtngton and visited tne rresioeni
one night. After a short talk Johnson pro
posed a game or poker. Urant. wno was an
Inveterate player then Jumped at the chance,
Cards were brought and they began to play.
Urant lost steadily and neavlly. 1 ne eame
was tl, call ?3. and no limit. At last Grant
said: 'Johnson, I will play you one more
deal around and we will quit : 1 am tired of
of this d n foolishness. Johnson dealt
and wouldn't come in. They made it a jack
pot
" The Jack pot went on increasing In size :
neither could open it. At last there was $64
in tne pot. urant was dealing, jonnson
picked ap the cards ; he had a pair of aces
up. urant looked at nis earns ana qnietiy
laid them down. Johnson said :
" 'I will open for $20.
"Grant without moving a muscle of his
cast-iron countenance, leaned back in his
chair and said slowly, looking at bis cards
all the time :
" 'I witl have to raise yon $50, Andy. I
can't neip tt.
Johnson was a little surprised, nut stooa
the raise. Grant asked him how many cards
he wanted.
"I Just want one; how many do yon
want?'
Eh ? fald Grant, carelessly, I don't
want any this time.'
"Johnson picked np ni cara. At was an
ace. ne bet $100.
" I will see your $100. Andy, and raise ber
$2000.'
"Johnson said afterward tne net came near
taking his breath away from him, but some
thing told him Grant was bluffing. He felt
a presentiment that he was.
-Grant, I will see your $2000 and raise
ber $500.
"Urant clenched bis teeth, and his lips
came together like a steel trap.
" 1 will see yonr $500 and raise you $5000

IS HASTE TO BE RICH.
A BUSINESS IMAN'S ADVICE TO fNBCSINEfS-
LIKB PEOPLE.
We receive almost daily from some part of
tbe country one or more letters of inquiry
concerning the best methods of gambling in
stocks. Most of these communications In
close a circular or advertlssment sent to the
writers from some firm In this city offering to
undertake the speculation in behalf of all
who will Intrust the advertiser with funds
for that purpose. These seductive missives
are full of promises decked in rainbow hues.
For $500 deposited with ns we can almost
Insure the depositor a small fortune within a
reasonable time." "We bave the Inside
track, and can make better returns than any
other firm on tbe market Tbe sum of $100
deposited with ns wlil often grow to $500 in
the course of a single season ; and larger
sums, enabling us to operate on a more lib
eral scale, are certain nnder our careful
manipulation to yield a manyfold profit to
the Investor."
These and many other similar devices are
scattered broadcast through the city, and In
all the rural districts, and draw a continual
stream of offerings from those who are dupes
of their own desires to become suddenly
rich. The risk would be far more than anv
reasonable person ought to encounter. If t'.ie
advertiser was honest and really sought to
Invest the money thus Intrusted to him to the
best advantage. The stock brokers who
manage to fairly live npon the business,
many of them most extravagantly, and tlte
chances, therefore, at the very best are
against tbe Investor, the majority of them
must supply these resources. The bulk of
tire business Is taxed to support the entire j
body of brokers and to pay all tbe expenses j
of this vast machinery, and hence the money
Invested as a whole Is handicapped with the
lead which it must pay before It can make
an average rsturn to the owner. j
It Is certain, therefore, that the money put
In by outside parties, as It goes first to sup
port the dealers and pay all the cost of the
establishment, must suffer a large aggregate
loss equivalent to the amount. Tbe chances,
therefore. If tbe whole operation were
squarely conducted, must be that each per
son who Invests will In the end draw out less
than he pnts in, and tbns pay bis share of
the ttibute. But the fleeclrg of the simple
ones Is not left to chance. The bulk of those
who send their money to the stock market In
the hope of drawing a prize pay more than
their regular average share of the cost of the
operation.
The authors of most of these seductive ad
vertisements sent out to solicit business have
no intention of dealing fairly with their cor
respondents. It is a skinning rame, and is
so designed from the outset. They may pay
their victim a little until they have seen the
bottom of his pnrse, and then they wipe out
his little store as clean as a whistle. They
expect that each patron whom they rob will
keep still for bis own sake, but they leave
bim no legal redress, even If be Is disposed
ot make trouble.
If the dupes who send this money for a
gambling venture will think f ir a moment
what it Is they undertake, they will see that
they have really little cause to complain.
They have gone out for wool and bave come
home shorn, They know very well It is not
a business where it is possible for both par
ties to any bargain to make a rrofit All
that one gains the other must lose, and in ad
dition the loser must pay the expenses of the
operator. If onr Innocent rural friend who
grumbles so much over the " robbery " of
which he has been tbe victim, had really
gained bis desire, be would simply have rob
bed to that amount some other wool hunter
who had gone into the market on the same
errand. When there Is a square deal this Is
the result : one lucky fool gains what the
unlucky fool loses, less the cost of maintain
ing the one who throws the dice. Bnt in the
class of business nnder the notice the enter,
prising advertiser, for the most part robs
both tbe fools, and keeps tbe entire pools as
bis own winnings.
There is no method by which better returns
can be insured from this class of operations.
The way to accumulate money Is to save It,
not to invest it in stock gambling. There is
hardly a workingroan in the country who
does not absolutely waste, that 1b, spend
for that which does bim no good, money
enough to produce him a competency if be
would practice the required self-denial and
lay It by In a savings bank intact for the nf ,
cessary term of years. It is not the earnl ng j
of large sums, butthesavingof smaller ones, j
that lays the foundation of a fortune. e
do not speak of money as the chief good.
There are things more desirable than a for
tune. But the only proper method of laying
up money Is to save it from one's legitimate
earnings. To speculate with a hope of gain
ing it is to seek to appropriate the earnings
of another, witb tbe chances in favor of
losing one's own fleece while In search for
the other man's wool. Arto Tork Journal of
