Gymnastics ore bal medicine when1 taken fur anything but brief and pleasant xercise," said Mr. William Haulon, one I tho famous II anion brothers. The, talk ad turned upon tho life of professional tlilctcs, nnd the reporter ventured tho opinion that gymnasts, fis a class, must be uii'ii of more than ordinary nerve. To the writer's surprise, Mr. llanlon was quick to challenge the statement. "I've heard it remarked," said he, "that man must be very plucky to toss him self about on a high trapeze. It is not true. He may bo plucky enough at (hat, ami yet is a coward in almost auy other direction. It is simply the custom of going upon the' tr.ipt'i.0 and his training that makes' a,, per-J inrmer appear uraver than others, 'lie Is ust liko a trained soldier, who wheu he gets the order to charge, docs so, though ho may not feel a bit iiko it. He acts like a iece of machinery in fact. Now, a recruit wouldn't do it. Say'charge to a velcra'n" nd ho charges; 6ay charge tn a recruit aud ho ilou't; that's all the (inference." "What has been your plan for developing our muse es?" Constant work with light weights. Many make the grand mistake of tlrjug themselves Willi heavy weights. They nu them under constant strain, and soon wear themselves out. It is much belter to put up a light dumbell fifty times than a heavy ono ten. Tho muscles get lust that much mo replay, and hence n greater develop. ment, with no strain, Tho most remarWa- blo example ofthe evils of the heavy woighl ityle I over saw was in the case of John C. Hcenan. I saw him fight King. When he was in tNiniiig'for that battle he was continually at work with tlio heavy weights. and he did get up an enormous amount of tiiucto in his arms. If he could have struck King in the first few rounds he would havo killed him.. But King kept away from him and made him exercise his ovcratniined musclesj and when the real strain ofthe battle camo upon him be had no reserve power to sustain it. That had all been given to the heavy weights, lie was never drugged as rejiortcd. The only prison ha ever got was from Kins'Ji flsts as Sir William Ferg'ison, the eminent London physician, said, after an cxamina tiou of Heenan snbsenuent to his 'defeat.

She sits within an easy chair, An oscn letter spread before her, So bright and dalnly, young and fair, No wonder ail tho lads adore her. t Beside her smoothly rounded cheek' ' The roses lose their tinted glory, And, gazing fn her eyes so sweet, The poet tells his sweetest story. And as she reads, her lovely mouth Pouts in a tnannerso beguiling, . You'd think her prettier, perhaps, Than when her faco Is glad nnd smiling. "Such impudence!" she says, "Indeed, This man requires severer schooling, Expecting thus to have his way, My better judgment overruling. "To steal a kiss, and then declare Ho only longs to steal another; Who would have thought he'd be so bold? I'm half inclined to tell his mother. But" If I will forgive,' he says, He 'will at once make reparation, A ful gladly, what he took in haste, Return with more deliberation. "'It was my beauty templed him,' Ah, that's the way they always flatter, And think a few beguiling words Will rectify the gravest matter.

"The bloody villains." muttered San dy McGovern to himself, as be sat on his horse surveying the scene of deaola ,tion und death; "the bloody, murderin' sconudrelul" , In front of a little knoll on 'which Sandy had reined his horse In was a con fusod heap of broken wngnnB. Here and there n dead hors?, already partially tripped by the cnyotes, and scattered p nnd down the lino of worohs the bodies of men who evidently died fight ing. It did not need the hideous red patohes on top ofthe skulls, where the sonlps had '.eeu torn off, to tell the old (frontiersman that be saw before him all that was left'-of an emigrant train that had been surririse'd by Indians. To his' experienced eyes, the Blight signs which would have escaped a man new to the plains, told him that the mass.tcra had taken placd, at the most, but two days before. As ho rode slowly along he suddenly heard n faint sound. With his nerves strung by tbe scene which lay before him, the frontiersman, whoso senses wi re always alert, found his attention nt- traded at ouee, and slopping his horse ho listened intently. Iu about a minute he heard it ngain, and noticed that it came from one of tbo wacons. Dis mounting and walking to the place he listened once more. Iu another minute ho beard it again. It was something like a faint cry.and it scorned Jo be smothered m some way. SJaudy stood close by the wagon, his bands resting Upon tbo foot board in front. Again he heard it. and this time more plainly than before. Fairly leaping to the footboard he opened the Ioug box iu front, the top of which forms in a prairie schooner the driver's seat, and saw lying iu it a little child. The big frontiersman lifted .the baby for it was scarcely mare out of its strange resting-place as tenderly as a mother. lie saw that tho child was very weak from its long fal, nnd, placing it gently on his blankets, he brgau to seiroli for something fit fur it to rat, I lading a bag of flour, he made, with a little sugar, n kind of thin gruel, beating It over n fire bo bad hastily kindled. Taltiug tbe bany in bii arms, he fed it slowly nnd cautiously. With infinite pn. tlence the bis-bearded man went through this strange task, until, after some time, he bad tbe satisfaction of seeing the lit tie one refuse to swallow auy more. Then sitting on tbe tongue of the wagon, with the dead lying all aronnd blm, Sindy rocked the buby in his arms until it went to sleep. Placing it in his blankets and covering it up carefully, he examined tbe box in which be had found it. In tho bottom was n rough horse blanket. Thrown over the edgo was n piece of rope, placed so as to prevent tb lid shutting tight, Alongside or tbe child be found half of a bracelet, evidently n, cheap, imitation ope, .which looked as though it bad been torn off from the other half. At the low. er end of tbo box there was a confused heap of baby clothes, thrust iu hastily. All these things Sandy took. He found even tbe water iu the spring beside wbicb tbe traiu had camped, to give bis newly. discovered treasure n bath, which seem ed to do it a greal of good. For one week Sandy staved there. spending his whole timo looking alter tbe bby. I(e saw the child grow strong aud bright, nt,d he found that tbe feed lug. washing aud dressing of the "kid," as be had already christened it," a source of everducreasintr delight. At the end of that time, having the broken bracelet carefully stowed away in his saddle-bags, Sandy mounted bis horse, and, taking the "kid ' iu bis arms, left the scene of the massacre nevrr to see it again.

And sixteen years havd transform-Ml tho "kid" into a tall stalwart lad of' eighteen, full of health aud strength. Robert McGovern, Sandy had called the baby hn found i the old wagon-box, looked mngnificeut y as no roile up to tbo bouse, crossing tbe little stream in one ensy leap ot hi horse. For the r.ixteen years had brought wealth to Sandy with the gray hairs. It really seemed as if everything be touched prospered after he riscned the baby. He uiado more money iu trapping that year than ho had iu any two befortl Hu got contracts to supply the-htago linn with horses and made money out of them He bonght a share iu a claim for almost nothiug, aud it turned out to be tuorni ously rich. "Lucky S.tndv," ns ho was called, began to be noted for his uniform bucoess. Finally he turned his attention to cattle, and purchasing a largo tract of land, stocked it aud became a r.inchero. Ho pUced (bo "kid" at school as soon rm be was old enough to go, and after giving biin a good education, brought him home to livo on the ranch and learn to manage it. "Father," said Bob (Samlyuever oalled bitn "kid" unless they were by them selves), "there's n party down there on the road aud the stage has broken down. I told them I'd ride up here nnd send a wagou down to bring them up. I said you'd be glad to have them ns lung as they d slay." "That's right, my bey; of courso we're glad, to havo 'em. Here you, Pedro, harness up nu' co down to the road. Bring up all tho passengers on the coach. How munv is there of them, Bob?" "Five in all. There's tbo prettiest girl, father, you over saw, nu old lady who kept looking at me, aud three gen tlemen." "Well, my boy, we'll try and make em comfortable. You better go an' see bout. rooms being got ready or 'im, an' 1 11 ride down to bring 'em up."' Bob dismounted, and, throwing the bridle-rein over tho hltching-pogt, walked into the house. Saudy looked after him, and muttering to himself, "I deolar' that boy gets bet ter every day," prepared to ride down to the rescue of the passengers. It was not long before tho whole party reached the house, glad enough for tbo cbatce of staying there until they could go on with their journey. It consisted of Mrs. Barnston aud Mr. Barnston, bis niece, Miss Edith Hovee, and two friends of theirs, Messrs'. James and Flynn. San dy's welcome was so cordial, and Vo was so unaffectedly glad to see them, that all idea of formality vanished, nnd before supper lime the whole party had becomo as familiar as old friends. Bob seemed to get along very well with Miss Edith, aud while Sandy and the other gentle men chatted together, the young people talked about anything aud everything that could .fnrush a topia of couversa- Hon. JJotb.fjndy and Bob uoticed that Mrs, B.truston was very silent, and that she did not.seem to be able to keep ber eyes off tho young man's, Sbe would look at him with a bait pnzzled and most anxious expression until she saw that she was noticed by the others, when, with an effort, sho would joiu iu tho general conversation, After supper the whole party went out upon the piazza, when the men lit their cigars and talked. At length Sandy, who nev;r misled a chauoe of showing his boy off, called up Bob to sing, and be at once began, in a beautiful tenor voice, '.some simple melody. As he sang, Mrs. Barnstou becamo more nervous, until suddenly starting up, she hastily left the piazz.i. Her husband followed ber nnd after a short absence returned, Tun ijg to Sandy, bo said: "You must excuse my wife, Mr. Mc Govern; but sho lost her first husband and ber boy mauy years ago under pe culiarly distressing circumstances, and your sou's singing has reminded ber so of her first husband's voice that sbe was unable to stay with us, Sandy paused for a minute before re plying, and then iu a deep tone said: "Bob nin't my son." "Not your soul Why, I thought but I beg your pardon," said Mr. Barnstor. "Pardon's granted," said Sandy, sen tentiously. "What I mean is, I ain't Bob's real father. lie's my son in affec tion and in love, but be aiu't my natural son. "Well, if yon'll excuse my curiosity, where did you get him?" "It's sixteen years ago now," said Sandy, slowly, "that I was riding along the South Platte. One day I came across a place whar the red fiends bad beeu fightin' a train. When I come thar thet weren't no mau alive nor no horse nor uothiu'.

SHALL WE MEET AOAIN. The following is one of the most bril liant paragraphs ever written by the h meuted George D. Preulict: "Tho fiot of death is iuexorable. There is no appeal for relief from the law which dooms us to dust. We flour ish and fade ns leaves of the forebt, and tbe flowers that bloom, wither and fade in a day, have no frailer bold upon life tbau tho mightiest monarch that evtr shook this earth with bis footstcpr. Generations of meu will appear and dis appear as the grass, aud tbe multitude that throug tho world to-day will disap pear as footsteps on the shore. Meu sel dom think of the great event of death un til the shadow falls acrosi their own pathway, biding from their eyes the faces of tbo loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of thilr existence. Death id the antagonist of life, and the thought of the tomb is the skeleton of nil feasts. We do not want to go through tho dark valley, although the dark pas. sage may lead to paradise; wo do not want to go down into damp graves, even with princes as b;d fellows. In tbe beautiful drama of 'Iron,' the hope of immortality, so eloqueutly uttered by Iho death-devoted Greek, finds deep re sponse iu every thoughtful soul. Wheu about to yield his lifo it sacrifice to fate, bis Clemantho asks if they should meet again, to wbicb be responds: '1 bait. asked myself that dreadful question of tbo bills that look eternal of the clear streams that flow forever of stars amotg whose fields ofaznre my raued spirits walked in glory. All are dumb. Butas I gaze upou thy liviug face, I feel that there is somethiug iu love that mnutlts through its beauty that cauuot wholly perish. Wo bbtdl meet again Cle- uuutha." A satibfactory answer : "Young man, sam a grave-looking gentleman nre yem pre) ret! to die?' "I am u' freight brakeniau on tbe X.Y, .t roud," was the prompt response. Oue of tbe great actors: 'Yes," said ' Browu, "Stalker is u great uuior. He is possessed of reullaleut." "And be hides it so perfectly!" udded Fogg iu sympa thetic admiration.
