Ah, well! the harbor could not hold
So many ships as there would IHI

And brought their precious freight to me—
Ah, well' I should have wealth as great
As any king who sits in state—
So rich the treasures that would lie
In half my sliijw now out nt sea.

Should come a-sailing home to mo—
Ah, well! the storm-clouds thou might frown;
For if tho others all went down.
Still rich and proud and glad I'd bo,

II that one ship went down at sen,
And all the others came to me
Weighed down with gems an 1 wealth untold,
With glory, honor, riches, gold,
The poorest soul on earth I'd bo,
If that one ship camo not to mo.
O skies, bo calm! O winds, blow Ircc!
Blow all my ships safe home to me!
But if thou sendest some a-wrack
To never moro camo sailing liack,
Send any, nil, that skim the set,
But bring my love-ship home to me'

DEADLY POLITENESS.
A YOUNG PKEAl.'ll Kit's EX PEUIENCE
ON THE MISSISSIPPI UlVf.lt.
"Nearly every man who ever travel
ed on the Mississippi river in the olil
days can relate a. 'nteresting expe
rience," said the Hev. Mr. Jackson, a j
minister whose reputation its tin im- (
passioned orator has gone beyond the
boundaries of Arkansas. "There was !
something aliout a Mississippi river
experience that tended to aid in vivid
reproduction. The grand lloating :
drawing rooms, tho wealth displayed j
at every turn, and the studied polite- !
ness and conventional ceremony of a
supposed good breeding which you
everywhere meet, till come up at once
in reportrayal of a character which,
thus surrounded, you have contem- !
plated. Hut all of this politeness and i
exhibition of good breeding, I must
lay, was but the white foam on a
muddy water. It was the courtesy
lhat could grasp the hand of a new
acquaintance or shoot an old friend.
"In the spring of 1850 I boarded a
grand steamer at New Orleans Itound
for up the river, I was a very young
preac her at that time, and was under
orders to repair to a small community
and assist in conducting a revival.
There was something of a war being
waged between two churches, and it
ttood our church in hand to concen
trates forces or loose ascendency in the
oeighliorhood. These were the days
of political and religious vigor, and |
avowed opposition in religious contests
was regarded as being no more out of
place and in ill-keeping with the faith
than the fierce struggles engaged in
by the Whigs and Democrats. I was
told at head-quarters that another
young preacher would be sent to assist
me, and that if I needed more help to
make my demands known at once-
When I Is larded the lioat I bsiked
around for my companion-in-arms,
whose name even I had not learned.
The closest search failed to discover
my assistant, and concluding that he ;
had either preceded or would come
after me, I dismissed the matter and
settled down to the quiet enjoyment
of the occasion.
"There was quite a number of gam- j
biers—polished gentlemen—on board,
and although I was opposed to gam- j
bling, I could not refrain from looking
on and contemplating with what seren
ity of countenance the gamblers
parted with thousands of dollars."
"•Won't you take a hand?' asked
one of the players one evening, ad
dressing a young, pleaotnt-looking
gentleman who stood near.
" *1 never play,' he remarked.
" 'Won't do you any harm.'
" 'I know it won't for I don't intend
to play.'
" 'The gentleman Is a rare joker,' re
plied a tall man, who handled cards
with an ease and lost with a good-will
that almost challenged respect.
" 'Yes,' replied the young gentle
man, 'a rare joker, because it is rare
that I Joke.'
•"Ah, and a punster,' said the
tall man, relinquishing |IOW with a
•mile.
•• 'lt makes little difference to you
what I am. 1 came here to quietly
look on, not intending to engage in the
game or the conversation; and, espec
ially, not to be the butt of any Jokes
that might arise from ill-luck or suc
cess at the table. Regardless of the
business you follow, 1 hope that you
are well enough acquainted with the
manners of gentlemen to treat an un
obtrusive looker on with civility, if
not with courtesy.'
" 'You speak well,' exclaimed the
tall man. *1 hope that lam a gentle
man of good birth and education, and
I hope that I have not Insulted you.
If I have, I sincerely beg your pardon.
Grant it willingly, and all will be well;
■ i /
reluctantly, and, as n gentleman, which
you undoubtedly profess to be, you
know your recourse.'
"Hut for your last remark, I would
have heartily forgiven you of any in
tention to insult me. As it is, Ido
not grant pardon, realizing that a gen
tleman is not expected to have deal
ings with such a man as you. And,
furthermore, let me say that I regard
you as a cowardly villain.'
"The tall man sprang to his feet and
drew a bowie knife. The quiet man
did not oven look at him.
" 'Take that back, or I'll rub your
heart over your face!'
"F.very one arose, but no one felt
disposed to prevent bloodshed.
"'I said that I regarded you as a
cowardly villain. Keep cool and I'll
tell you why. While we were engaged
in insinuating conversation I saw you
steal a roll of bills from that man,'
pointing to one of the players. 'l'iitil
then, and but for the remark you
made, trying to compel a cheerful
granting of pardon, I w;i,s disposed to
pay a little attention to anything you
might say. Now, sir. 1 have made my
statement, I have been led into this,
and I may regret the consequences
don't hold him but I shall make no
concessions.'
"The tali man's eyes actually glared.
'I have killed live men, and all for
less than this,' he exclaimed, diet out
j of tho way! I'll cut him in two!'
"(Jet out of the way!' said the quiet
i man. "It would greatly please me if
he were to sit down and conduct him
' self less dangerously, but if lie is de
termined upon a wicked action, let
him be under no restraint.'
" 'You are foolish!' exclaimed '>nr of
| the gamblers, turning t > the quiet
! man. "You are not armed, and even
if you were, Captain Aide would kill
i you. lam the man from whom you
say tie purloined the bills. I saw
the action but did not dare to inter- 1
' pose.'
•• 'So this is Captain Aiele?' said tie
young gentleman, 'I have hoard of
him. He has a very unsavory reputa
tion in New Orleans. If well-con
structed reports he true, he is not only
a thief, but a murderer.'
"(Jet out of my way!' howled the
; captain, and. struggling, he threw his
I conpanions aside and sprang forward.
1 Like a sudden revolution of a wheel
—like an action whose quickness can
not i>e contemplated—the young man
drew a derringer and sent a bullet
| through the captain's brain, killing
him instantly.
" •(Jentlemen,' said the quiet man.
beginning to talk ere the smoke lifted.
| 'I had more than one reason for com.
mitting this deed; I was insulted as
you saw, and was in danger, as you
know; but, worst of all, that man
murdered my father. I did not con
template killing him. but, as 1 said. I
would have granted pardon for his in
sulting taunts. From the lirst,though.
I contemplate 1 his arrest, which 1
should have accomplished, had he not
attempted to take my life. I am
sorry that I have caused such confu
sion, and I hope that you all. as I know
you will, forgive me."
"He walked away, gracefully bow
ingtosome one who hurried to the
i scene of the tragedy. The boat was
i soon landed. The captain's acquatnt
i ance took charge of the body, and
i went ashore. We were soon on our
I way again, and but for certain little
I influences that hung around, no one
| would have known that a tragedy had
; been enacted. Our band of music, a
| common steamboat feature in those
days, struck up a lively air, and the
; only suggestive remembrance of the
: captain's death, was the wet carpet
j where a tniy had mopped away the
| blood.
•'lt was late at night when I reached
!my landing. Alone I made iny way
to tlie nearest house, where, after my
business was known, I was kindly re
ceived. Nevt <lay I attended church
and was at once escorted to the pulpit,
behind which soine half dozen preach
ers were seated. A well-known inin.
lster arose and said that two preachers
from New Orleans had arrived, Hroth*
ers .Jackson (myself) and Mahleson,
and that Ilrother Mahleson would first
1 address the congregation. The gentle
man arose, and imagine inv surprise
when I recognized in the preacher the
quiet young man W'ho hail killed the
captain. He delivered an eloquent,
powerful sermon, and after services
1 approached ine, and, extending his
' hand, said:
* " 'You must excuse me for not mak

that if I revealed my identity my plans
R might tie frustrated. As I said, 1 only

A PRETTY PROPHETESS.
The UUtory of fine of the Slew \Ol If
fortune Teller*.
Aiming these magicians in New
York there is a pretty little woman
who gets Into trunees and rails her
self a clairvoyant, although she admits
quite frankly that siie does not know
who she is. Years ago, when a little
child, she recollects clasping her arms
eround a swing and looking dreamily
into space until it seemed to her as if
her soul was dissevered from her laxly
and she had v isions. They were not
of her own future, but of the future
of others, and when she awakened
from this dream or trance only the
latter part of the closing chapter was
remembered. Her father, a stern old
puritan, was at a loss to know how t<.
exorcise this devil, for whip|iings and
punishments were of no avail. She
seized every opportunity to test this
power. As she grew older, however,
and went to school, the girls rather
shamed her out of what they railed
"si.eh nonsense." At • ighteeii, having
a heart like other women, she fell in
love, married and became the mother
of two children. With busy hands and
a happy life the old pernicious tenden"
ry towards dreams and visions was
well nigh forgotten. No trance I
warnrsl her of the approach of that j
unrelenting visitor, death. He came
as to the most ordinary mortals, uricx" i
ported and unannounced. One morn- j
ing while she stood on the porch of
her little house, with her babe crowing
in her arms, four men approached with
a horrible burden, the inanimate form
of her husband mangled by machinery.
Then came sickness, poverty, debt and
despair. Her children were looking at
her with hungry eyes. Mie grew wild
and unlike herself - and was beset
anew by visions and dreams. She saw |
visions of the future happiness until
finally she told a credulous woman one
•lay her fortune. Then another came
and another, and presently the disc - j
late widow liecame known as a clair
voyant—a woman with power to di- j
vine the future, she went to sleep
with rigid muscles and staring eye*
and saw people's lives unrolled before
her as an immense panorama. >hc !
told her visitors, how friends, profess*
ing to love them, really were implaca
ble enemies, she told of coming sick
ness, of g sxl fortune for those who tn
vented money in such and such a man
ner. And all this was given forth
with such burning and rapid intensity
that she never f.tihsl to convince. It is
not t<H> much to say that whole lives
have been ordered and altered upon this
woman's word. Friends have been *cp.
araterl and brought together; wives and
husbands have Wen rendered happy or
miserable; money made or lost; resi
dence* changed; business put aside
journeys taken from one part of the
country to another. The woman her.
self, meanwhile, has made money, edu.
catc-d her children, set up her son in a
lucrative business, anil owns her first
little happy home for the summer's
rest and recreation. Hut while she
has been busy averting the mlsfor
turn* of others, has she kept her ow n
sky free from clouds? Ah. no! The
light of her life has gone out Her
tieautiful, accomplished, cherished
daughter is dejuL Neither trance, nor
vision, nor spell, warned her, and yet
it was no illness, but an accident which,
could it have been foreseen,
might easily have !>een prevented.
The girl went to ride, the horse took
fright, and she died of internal inju
ries. If spirits come to her mother
and tell her of the destiny of others,
are they not cruel devils which hover
around and leave her powerless to
protect her own?
Hi.t it is nothing, nothing at all. ex
cept that she is a highly strung, over
wrought, diseased woman, who needs
treatment by a competent specialist in
her own diseases. Hhe calls the peo
pie who comes to her, appropriately
enough, "her patients." One man has
been to see her once a week for eleven
years. She limits herself to three
trances a day, and she charges $5 for
each trance. Then she tells fortunes
by cards, and, in one way and another
makes, strange as it may seem, from
$l5 to $2O regularly a day. Even her
own sorrowful exjieriences, which she
relates quite unreservedly and patheti
cally, do not deter the people who con
sult her from returning again and
again. Reason is not the strong point
with those who find it possible to be
lieve in divinations. Nmd York

Fulth is a rur wonder-worker
Strong In the belief that every I'rank
is a doctor, an old A rah, who had been
partially blind from birth, pestered an
English traveller into giving him a
seidlitz, powder and hoiiio pomatuiu.
Next day the chief declared that he
could see better than he had for twen
ty years.
A sea captain, when one of his crew
craved something for his stomach's
sake, on consulting his book, found
"No. 1,1" was the thing for the occa
sion. I'nfortunately there had been a
run on that number, and the Imltle j
was empty. Not caring to send the
man away uncomforted, the skipper,
remembering that eight and seven
made liftecri, made up a dose from the
bottles so numbered, which the seaman
took with startling effects, never oon
templatisl by himself or the captain.
That worthy jumped too ha-tily at con
clusions, like the Turkish physician of
whom Mr. Oscanyan t< lis the follow,
ing story: tailed in to a ease of typhus,
the dot tor in question examined the
patient (an upholsterer), prescribed,
and departed. Massing the house the
next day he inquired of a servant at
the door if his master Was dead, and to
his astonishment heard that he was !
much lx-tter. Indoors he went, to
learn from the convah -cent that being
consumed with thirst he had drunk a \
pailful of the juice of pickhsl cabbage
Boon afterwards, a dealer in embroid
ered handkerehii fs, *•' i/<s| with the j
same malady, sent for the physician, 1
who forthwith ordered him to take a
I ailful of pickled cabbage. The man
died next day; and the doctor set down
this memorandum in his bx.k for the
future guidance: "Although in cases
of typhus pickhsl cabbage juice is an
efficient remedy, it is not, however, t >
I s• u.xssl unh-ss the patient be by j r.e

These easy-going practitioners might
probably cite plenty of instances of the
efficacy of their method.

gave a lalxrer a prescription, saying:
Take that and come lack in a fort

dient to the injunction, the patient
presented himself nt the fortnight's

face, l'roud of the fulfillment of his
promise. Dr. Hrown said: "Let me tee
what I gave you." "O," answered the
man, "I took it, doctor." "Yes, 1
know you did; but w here is the pre

reply. The patient had made a pill of

Fads Concernlnir Lightning Rods.
There can be no doubt, says the f'ul
tirutnr, that well constructed lightning
rods arc a great protsx-tion. Light
ning is the discharge or spark that
passes between two highly-eb-etrifled
clouds, or from a < loud to some other
object in its vicinity. If, when one of
these electrified clouds approaches an
object, the electricity be drawn from it
by any means, the lightning cannot
take place. This should be the action
of every lightning rod to silently i
draw off the electri' lty from the clouds
before the stroke would take place. If
lightning strikes the rod, it is proof
that the rod is a jioor one, A poor
lightning rod is a constant source of
danger. It may often serve to con
duct the lightning into your building l *
rather than away from them. The
principles upon which commercial
lightning rods are constructed are en
tirely wrong, and fail to accomplish
g'*d for the pun baser.
In the first place your building's may
not n<xsl protection. Any pointed ob
j'-rt projecting into the air is a con
ductor of i lis tri' ity to a greater or less
extent; hence the great nunilxrs of
pints presenti-l by tree* tend to draw
off the electricity from the clouds and
air. A building among high tris-s bas

Ihe buildings of cities act as so many
lightning rods t-> draw off the electrici
ty. buildings with columns of hot or
iic ; t air escaping from th-m need <-v

umns are conductors of electricity.
Hence the kitchen chimney is most
liable to le struck; also barns filled
with freshly-cut hav or grain.
Iron is preferable to copper for
lightning roils < nlv because it is cheap
er. To convey a certain amount of
electricity an iron n*l should possess
four times the bulk of a copjxT r.sl,
but the large ir n rod would Is- chcajv
er than the smaller copper one. one
important principle in regard to the
motion of electricity of high tension
should l* constantly lx>me in mind—
electri' ;ty passes through the whole
mass of the risl and not over the sur
face alone
A blind rersnn's Sense of Tonrh.
It is commonly supjxisM, says Dr.

the exaltation of one sense which
occurs ( as in the ca*e of Laura H rid go

is due to an improvement in its organ.
