He gave unto tho editor A paper closely writ I "I would unto your Judgment, sir, A poem submit I Pray read it carefully and say What that you think of It." Slowly the editor read It through On his brow an angry flush There came as he soliloquised About "hogwash," "rot," and "slush." And ho gave back the manuscript Unto the hard, and said : That ballad Is the very worst That 1 havo ever read," "If I such trash as that should dare Print In my magazine. Then men would call me a three-ply ass And they would be right, I ween. "So, sirrah, take thco a stout sawhorse, Thereto a bucksaw good ; Thy pocBy It Is n. g. Thy lino Is sawing wood." When that the poet heard theso words He'gan to fume and fidget, And said unto the editor, "Thou art a howling Idgct 1 "Head o'er that ballad again, slrrab, Itead o'er tbat ballad again, And then thy candid opinion give My name Is Alfred Ten " "The heaven, you say 1" cried the editor, Astonished; then ho said, "That poem Is tho finest thing That I have ever rcadi "It shall appear this very month," And kneeling on the ground, He gave the Lauroate a check For JE 1,100. Two Kinds of Courage. Not many years since tho good ship Ponto sailed from Boston bound to Samatra. Sho was commanded by Capt. Isaac Jacobs, a good seaman and a naturally good hearted man; but in his long career beneath the trident of Neptuno ho had imbibed many of those false Ideas prevalent among seamen, and he had como to look upon the sailor's life as ono which necessarily did away with thoso finer and warmer traits of character that mark the humane and.generous lands man. In this wise Isaac Jacobs sometimes lost sight of truo merit where it actually ex isted. Among the crew of the Ponto, on her pres ent voyago, was a young man named Culcb Baker. Ho had shipped only thrcodays be fore tho ship sailed. Ho was a slender framed, man with a fair prepossessing coun tenance, light blue eyes and light brown hair. Though light in his build, ho was yet well stocked with muscle, and his motions were quick and energetic His appearance was calculated to predispose beholders in his favor. One day, shortly after thq ship had left port, as Baker was busy about some matters of his own in ono of tho' gangways, onsof the men, a rough, uncouth fellow by tho name of Bunkton, camo nlong and gave the clothes-bag of Baker a kick out of his way, thereby scattering a number of things about the deck. " I wish you'd bo careful," said Baker, as he moved to gather up his things. " Then keep your things out o' my way," gruffly returned Bunkton. ' They were not in your way." " Do you mean to tell me I lio?', " I said my things wcro not in your way." " And I say they were. Now don't you dispute me again," 'Verf well j havo it your own way," calmly returned Baker, ns he drew his bag closer in towards tho bulwarks. " And don't you be impudent, neither," provokingly added Bunkton. " Look ye, Bunkton, if you've any busi ness of your own, you'd better mind it." Eh, lubber t I'll show ye my business. Take that." As Bunkton spoke, he struck tho young man upon the fuce. The crew had most of them gathered about tho place, nnd arrange nienta were quickly made for a fight "Just come forward como forward, nnd I'll show to my business," cried Bunkton, bristling about with his fists doubled up, A fightl a flight I" cried half a dozen of the men. "Don't stand that, Baker., Tho young mah's eyes had Hashed as he received the blow, and there was a quick quivering of the muscles in his hands, but he made no motion to strike. "Ain't you Eoin' to take It unt" asked Bunkton. " No. I want nothing to do with you," returned Caleb. "Then you are a coward I" uttered Bunk ton, with a contemptuous tone and look. Young Baker calmly replied to the taunt, aud Bunkton becamo still more savage. Thoso who know anything about ocean life will understand tho sentiments of tho rough crew upon such matters as the present. They could comprehend but ono kind of courage, and the moment that Baker refused to fight they set him down as an arrant coward. At first they had been prepossessed in bis favor, for Bunkton was a quarrelsome rellow, and they hoped Caleb would flog him but when they saw him quietly turn away and resume bis work, they began to taunt him too. " What's all this ?" asked Captain Jacobs, who was attracted to the spot. The matter was explained to him. "Didn't resent it ? uttered tho captain, looking with mingled surprise and contempt upon Caleb. "Wby uidn t you knock him down, Baker t" " Because I don t want to fight with any man, sir. " And will you allow yourself to bo struck, and not resent it!" " I will defend myself in case of danger, but I will not so abase myself as to engage in a brutal fight when it can be possibly avoided. I have as yet done wrong to no man i but were 1 to fight ono of my ship mates I should wrong him and myself both." " Then you will have yourself looked up on as ono who may be struck wttu impunity .- A quick flash passed over theyouug man's face, as the captain thus spoke, but ho was soon calm. ' I mean, sir," he returned, "to give no one occasion to strike mej yet Buukton struck roe, but you can see that ho already suffers more than I do." Bunkton gave Caleb the lie, and again tried to urge him into a fight, bnt tbs cap tain Interfered, and quiet was restored. From tbat time Caleb Baker was looked upon by the crew as a coward. At tint they taunted him, but his uniform kindness soon put a stop to these outward manifestations, and tho feelings of tho crew were expressed bythetrlooks. Bnnkton took every occasion he could find to annoy tho young man, for he had taken his oath that he would "havo a fight out of the coward yet," The rest ol tho crow might have let the matter pass,bad not Bunkton's continued behavior kept alive the idea of Baker's cowardice. None save himself knew the great strug gles that went on In the young man's bos om ) but ho had resolved that ho would not fight, except in actual and necessary self- defence, and ho adhered to his principle, He performed his duties faithfully,and Cap tain Jacobs was forced to admit that though Baker was acoward,he wasyet a good sailor. Thus matters passed until the ship had doubled tho Capo of Good Hope aud enter ed tho Indian Ocean. It was towards the cioso of a day that had been sultry and op pressive, that a fitful breczo sprang up from tho southward. Itcamo in quick, cool gusts, and the canyas only flapped before it. Wo nro likely to havo a blow soon," re marked the mate. 'Not much, I think," "returned the cap tain, as ho took a survey of the horizon. This spitting will soon dio away, and I think tho wind will then como out lrom the west'rd. However, it may be well enough to shorten sail. You may take in t'gal- lnnt'ls and close reef the top'ls." This order was quickly obeyed, nnd, as tho captain had predicted, tho spitting gusts died away, but there was no wind came out from tho westward. It grew dark, but no wind had come. About ten o'clock those who wcro on deck wcro startled by a sudden darkening of the stars, and they saw a great black cloud rolling up from the southward. It soon hung over the ship like a black pall, and the men began to bo frightened. Tho captain was called, but befere ho camo on deck there came a crash as though the very heavens had been rent asunder. The old ship trembled in every joint, and a huge ball of fire rolled down tho mainmast. An other and another crashing of tho lightning came, and at last tho electric light began to play about the wind-tossed ship in wiid, fantastic streams. "Tho foremast is 6truck I" shouted ono of the men. "Sea where its head is shivered I" All eyes were turned to tho spot, and by the next wild flash the men could see that a dangerous havoc had been made with the mast. Tho cap was shivered, tho starboard check was nearly stripped off, and the trcs tietrccs wcro quiycring. Of course tho heavy topmast was only held in place by the du bious trcstletrcc, and tho main-top threat ened every moment to come thundering up on tho deck, with tho long topmast and tho topgallontmast in its company. Such a cat astrophe would Burcly prove fatal to tho ship, and ail knew it. But whilo all hands were gazing at this, another danger arose. Tho low, rumbling sound that had been growing in tho south ward had escaped tho no!i,co of tho crew, and ere they knew it, the rushing, howling wind was upon them. Tho ship leaped like a frightened stag beforo thn gale. Mate cut tho maintoisail sheets, and tho sail was snapped into ribbons. The foictopsail was clewed up, and tho ship was got beforo tho wind. The lightning cloud was swept away, and it was dark as Erebus. Tho wind howled tearfully, but there was ono sound more fearful than that. It was the creaking of tho shattered trcstletrccs, as the fid of the topmast bore down upon them. 'O God 1" ejaculated Captain Jacobs, "if the trestletrees give way we aro lost! Hark I Hear I hem labor I" Away up aloft, in tho impenetrable dark ness, stood the giant topmast, and all felt it could not stand there long. The men crow ded aft, aud with painfully beating hearts they heard the mast labor. "If we could bring the ship broadside to,' said tho mate, "the wenther-rigging might be cut, nnd the mast would go overboard." "True, true," returned the captain, "but who shall go aloft and do the job? There would be no foothold In the top, for that will go with a crash. The trestletrees are al ready shattered." "If you will port the helm, I will make the trial," cried a clear, strong voice, which was at once rccogulzed as tbat of Caleb Baker's. "It will be sure death." cried Jacobs. "Then let it be so," returned Caleb. "If I succeed the rest of you may bo saved, but now we are all in danger. Tort tho helm, and I will go." Caleb took the ax from the mizzenmast, and soon bis form was lost in the darkness, as he moved towards the starboard rigging, The helm was put aport, and tho ship grad ually gave her starboard sido to tho gale. Soon the blow of an ax was heard -then another and another. The ship heavily heaved over then another blow was heard There was a fearful straining and then came the crash. The heavy topmast had gono clear over tho side. Fragments of the trestle and crosstrces came rattling upon the deck, but all yes were strained painfully to wards the masthead. The dim outlines of the heroic man could be seen safely hanging by the mizzen topmast. The ship was once more got beforo the wind, and ore long Baker came safely to the deck. He staggered aft tothobinnacle.and there ho sank fainting and bruised upon the deckj but he was quickly conveyed to the cabin, and his wants supplied. Caleb's bruises were none of them bad, and in a few days he was again at his duty The men eyed him auxiously, and they seemed uneasy as they met his smiles. The captain, too, changed color, when he met the kind, noble look of the young roan, but he soon overcame the false pride that actu ated him, aud stepping to the noble fallow's side, be took him by tl.e hand. "Caleb," said he, "If I have done wrong, I freely ask you to forgive me. I have said you were a coward, but I now admit I did not know you." "Think no more of it," said Caleb, with a beaming eye. I once promised tooue whom I loved better than life my mother that I would never do a deed of which I might af terward be ashamed." Bunkton pressed forward. "Caleb," he said, seizing the young man's hand, "you must forgive me for what's jiassed. We'll be friends after this." "Bless you, Bunkton, and friends we'll be." "Yes," added Bunkton, 'and if you won't fight for yourself, I'll fight for you, If you ever stand in need of it." "I tell you, my men," said the captain, there's certainly two kinds of courage) and after all, I don't know but that Celeb Ba ker's kind is the best. It takes a stronger and bigger heart to hold it, at all events.' A DISSATISFIED TlSAItll. A gentleman attired tn clothes which hod seen better days called at tho Tribune office on Saturday with a slip cut Irom the paper, and asked to sco the editor. When his re quest had been complied with, in a measure he said, with a withering snccri "Wot are yo givin' us, young feller, hey t Don't you seo what you're printing In the paper? Look a here I" ond he tendered the reporter a printed scrop, which tho reporter held between the points of a pair of scissors, and scrutinized at a respectful distance. "This, my friend," sold the reporter to tho representative of tho Hcndrick B. Wright interest, "this, my friend, seems to bo an in teresting item about an impecunious gen tleman in Winona, Minn., who weeded a cucumbcr-bcd for his dinner and sawed a cord of wood for his supper, and whoso de meanor so impressed tho woman of tho house that she at once wroto an account of tho af fair to tho Winona Republican. Aro you the Industrious gentleman referred to? Do you want to correct the report?" "Fa-aw," said the visitor, Indignantly. "Do I look like a man that would weed a bed of cowcumbcrcrs of tho ground for n small plate of hash ? Do you think I could so far forget myself as to split menial wood for the cold buckwiicat cakes that (all from tho rich man's lablo?" "Well, what do you want?" "Wont? This is what I want, and I speak as tho representative of about 500,000 Ameri can citizens. I want you to stop publishing items like that which aro only calculated to increase tho evils of contraction and tho suf ferings of the poor. If tho Impression once gets abroad that we fellows aro in tho habit of weeding tbecoivcumbers upon a thousand beds and making sawmills of ourselves for the sake of our board, we'll bo ruined. That's what's the matter.

That's tho sort of lit erature you fellows want to print. Your readers cry for it, and the farmers sit on the fences for hours waiting to get their mail." The reporter thanked his visitor forthis communication of his views of journalism, and the visitor left, having inquired if the Congressional Labor Committee was still in session. Chicago Tribune. THE CZAIt AND TUB CHOLERA. At the moment when Russian society seems crumbling at its base, Adolphe Racot, of the Paris Patrie, has deemed it of inter est to point out the difference between the present state of public greeting in Russia to ward the Czar, who is still called "the little father" by tho peasants, and the sentiment forty years ago. It was in 1835; cholera had broken out in Russia, and was making fearful ravages. The doctors, and later tho Tolcs, were oc cuscd of having brought on the plague. Many murders were committed. The police were powerless to prevent these acts of sav agery. Presently tho plague having redou bled its intensity, a vcrilablo insurrection broko out. A vast crowd surrounded the Admiralty building, uttering vague threats. There was no military forco at hand capa ble of handling this mass of people, and ev erything seemed lost. Suddenly a culeche drawn by two black horses appeared at tho horizon, at the foot of Ncwsky prospect. It approached almost with the rapidity of a canon ball. A long cry went through the crowd: "The Czar!" A man sprang out of the calcche unat tended. He stopped in the middle of the Adraality Squarend when he drew himself up to his full hightix feet,he seemed twice as tall, so majestic was be. "To your knees and ask pardon of God 1" cried the Czar. At these words there was only one man left standing in the vast concourse, and that was the Czar. "It is well," be said. "Your faults alone have brought upon you so many misfor tunes. Cease, then to make innocence suf fer for you. Nobody has poisoned the springs, there are no guilty ones but the murderers, fools I Are you ready now to repent?" "Yes I yes I" cried ten thousand suppli cant voices. Then the Czar extended his arms in a ges ture of solemn majesty, aud added in a voice of thunder t "Let tho cholera be feared no longer. It is no longer my will that there shall be cholera." The calcche then took its way to Teter hofl, the Czar's habitual residence, in tho midst of popular acclamations and benedic tions. People kept on dying in St. Peters burg) but the Czar, the father, had willed it, and only one died of cholera. How limes have chaned I To-day, when the Emperor Alexander wishes to go from St. Petersburg to Lividla, sentinels are placed throughout tbo route, and tho Czarsita in a locked, barred andiron plated car. -This is the season, says an exchange, when the farmer's colt dies, ami the simple minded ruralist empties r. charge of buck shot into tho carcass and carries it Into the woods, and then lies in wait for the first tourist who hunts through those woods, and horrifies that hapless Niiurod by wanting him to explain wby be shot tho valuable animal and make restitution.

THE CUICIOSITIES Or A YANKEE WILL. In the old records in tho Trobate Court much that is curious may bo found, but there is nothing more peculiar than the will of David Ogdcn, who kept a tavern where the Tontine Hotel now stands. Tho will was made in 1789, and contains the follow ing! " In tho name of God, solo Governor of tho worlds, Jesus Christ, tho Holy Ghost, the twelve apostles, saints, thrones, powers, virtues, angels archangels, cherubins, ami soraphlnis, ahem I, David Ogden of New IIaycn, in tho slate of Connecticut, being in uncommonly good health and spirits nnd in my right mind and wits, do, in the following manner make this my last will and testa ment: "Imprimis : My body, this mass composed of flesh, blood, orterics, bones, cartilages, fi bres and God wot not wot all besides I com mit when dressed in my best suit of black ctothes to its deep, dark, silent grave.

Then let this body bo drcsl for its coffin, which I pray to bo made of sound mahog any wood ami not ornamented with bniss nails and tin plates, telling my name, age or death.

When this mass of corruption is so cquipjicd let il he born on tho shoulders of four Btoady youths to its long home, the narrow grave, whom I would should be rewarded for their truuble with decent pairs of gloves each. By the way, should Dr. Edwards, the Sunday next after my last conscience, deem cither my death or lifo to merit a sermon, a short ser mon, prayer or a few hymns to be sent up to the throne of an all pitying and mer ciful God, pry thee let be done, and for his trouble and good services In this solemn bus iness give him my last vishes for his welfare accompanied with a compliment of 3 4s.

Tho Detroit Free Frets tells of a paper that steals most of its matter from the Bible. This will make the inspired writers hop.

Sunday school teachers "You must recollect that all I am telling you happened one thousand eight hundred and seventy nine years ago." Pupil: "Lor", miss, how the time do slip away!" "No, sir," said the gentleman from Pittsburgh, "I was not in tho war, but my brother was, and he was wounded." " Ah I indeed. Seriously wounded?" "Yes, sir) he was shot in tho house."

A farmer writes: "I saw in a paper that a western farmer planted flax with po tatoes, and it kopt the bugs ofl". I planted flax with potatoesnd tho flax came up first, and the bugs roosted on it, waiting for the potatoes to come up." It may bo that the simple-minded farmer has no selfish design in telling the tourist that fish will biteonlyat potato bugs, and in ilmlly offering to let the dcciple of Walton go into tho potato patch aud get all the bait he wants.
