The following exquisite little poem, from the
pen of Nat. Bruer, en the Nerthneet disaster, ap
peared In the New York *Ain a few days ago,, anti
is a gem that deserves to live.
In the burying ‘ ground of Bungenets;
Where the graves of the shipwrecked lie,
Through the grass-grown loam, like flecks of foam
Blown In from the sea, hard by, ,
Mid the time-worn marbles, with many a trace
Of the wrinkling wind o'erspreasi
Is a tablet white as up-turned taco
When the spirit of life haih fled,
With "lied Knows:" brokenly curved thereon
Like a sob that has stiffened along the stone.
Like a Ma) that Is ktikted In breast and throat
Long after Its v, lee cougea4,
That mute " tiod Knows" amid death's windrows
To the readers of tembrappeals.
'Tis a Child's light body those daisies deck,
The sole one washed ashore
From the Emigrant .Northfleet's Ili-starred wreck,
And her wave-ullelnied human store;
The only body of all the drowned,
Nameless and nude, that ma; ever found.
The clergyman paused In the funeral rigs—.
"The name of the dead ?" quoth he.
"God knows," said the clerk of that parish kitk
And the waif of the dark, deep sea,
With only Mom. words on the headstone gray,
Whirl) so much to the heart express,
•
Was folded away till the Judgment day
•Neath the daisies of the Dungeness,
And eve l r at hand, In a cadence deep,
The winds and the waves their requiem keep.
nd the mists at morn, and the Fun at noon.
Amt the stars %hen (tie day Is done,
il,n4 the soft moon, too, In the shimmer of dew,
Wheel over the nameless one.
Hut In II Is Infinite goodness knows
What ethereal name and rate •
From tips si•raphie In music flows
When they rat! to our wall' up there !
God Knows! I n (hi; earth's maternal tneast
Nameless and titled t)nd equal rest.
—Nathan D. rrtarr
" Ah, my dear Miss Flora I"
I gave my friend Mr. Barnwell
hand ; hot at the same time I fol
lowed with my eyes my other friend,
Mr. Frederick Leighton, who at that
moment went catering down the
street, escorting' his cousin? George
Neal.
H. MERCUIt,
"I suppose that may lie considered
in engagement ? " - commented Mr
Barnwell; following my gaze.
"Or perhaps only a skirmish," I
rejoined, hastily. Mr. Barnwell sak
no more ; he never argued. But I
_ .
could see he did not agree with me.
I stopped in front of a shabby lit
tle house. ."l'his is where -Wagoner
lives," I said.
1 1 had known the Wagoners, hus
band and wife, for some months.
Mrs. Wa!roner did my washing, and
Mr. Wiyroner carried home the bas
ket. 1 had employed her oriainally,
because she needed 'the work. She
did it so badly, what'with scorching,
mildewing, burning, that I despaired
MO expostulated. She looked help
le4,s • hut herhusband looked as tho'
abrrdit idea had struck him. After
that there was a marked , improve
ment. 1 suspected him of becoming
SHELVES
my washerman. It was on the urea-.
sion of one of his .weel• ly trips to my
house that he had requested an inter
view with me, and had presented me
with a bouquet,: unpinned from a
conical newspaper laridle. I was
not unfamiliar with his bouquets,
which. were usually compounded of
balsams said marigolds, and•of the
unknown herbs or unsawry smell
which grow in the gardens of Philis
tia. Having made this presentation,
he said, with sonic slight hesitation,
that lie had something to show me.
" A new paten', mks."
Ile was nominally a cobbler by
trade. k" Something you use in your
shoemaking?" I suggested. I thought
he meant pattern. To this-day lam
n'ot•sure that he did not.
" Oh, certainly, miss." (Ile always
began by saying, " Oh, certainly,"
whether he ultimately agreed or Ilk.'
agreed.) " No, miss : it's a kind of
a little wagon I've been a-studyin'
out. It works real easy. It's a right
handy little thing, miss. I'd like to
I•how it to you."
~I would
like to see it, the—r
wlati•eer it is, Wagoner.''
`• lif you'd be at home to morrow
(.1"1 . 1411 . , misti, I'd be proiel to bring
it mer."
Evening in Port Royal means any
hour after twelve meridian, so I
rather expected to see the paten' put
in an appearance long before dark.
Instead of which it was eleven o'clock
at iii4dit = __when Wagoner rang our
bell, and inquired for me. lie had
made stile .of finding me returned
from any walks abroad,
" I brought it over, miss. It's
dtawcd up
.clo-c to the sidewalk.
Will you look at it
I went'. out, accompanied
nu.; Members of
_rny.party. There
stood a rough little cart. Wagoner
',idled it backward. and forward. ex
plaining !natters in his eager voice.
I'll show you bow it works.miss,"
Lc said, finally. lie g;ot in, worked
(7:it ' l l; of and down, and startedcoll
down the street at nearly a break
neck speed.
It goes - beautifully," I said; as
r-pokt.swornan of the party, when he.
stolped at la-.t, and stood before' us,
' hat in hand, waiting to he congratu
, laied. " It's like a velocipede."
Oh, •certainly. No, miss, tt ain't

a bit like a velocipede. It has this,

different. I've been assured by a

" Oh, certainly. Yes. miss. I hope
so, miss. Won't you try it, miss ?"
I mounted the trap, feeling myself
somewhat ridiculous, and yet wishing
to encourage inventive genius. 1
moved the crank, as directed, and oil
I started in the bright moonlight.
The, group in front 'of our house
laughed encouragingly. Some one
, aid 1 looked like Peggy some one
or Other, who went to some fair or
other. "It is a capital thing, Wag
pner," I said, having climbed
„out
again. " You are Wagoner by name
and Wa!=oner by nature,are'nt you?"
" Oh, certainly, miss. Yes, miss.
You see, miss, I design it especial
for child'en.. : There ain't but only

lead that'll make it go faster. Yes,
miss, and I mean to set it up higher
on its wheels nor it is now. Stylisher
Oh, certainly."'
" Would it be desirable for it to
be - higlier l 'or go faster fora children's
wagon ? Do you think l it would be
as safe?" .
"-Oh, certainly, miss. 1 y6., , , I reek
en you're right. That's so."
'• It was extremely clever in you,
Wagoher, to think it out," I purt:ilied,
relaxing from criticism into compli
meaty. It is really remitikable."
lie laughed a good deal—he had a
habitual nervous laugh—in a. grati
fied way at this, and presently, after
much bowing and scraping, clattered
away down the street. Fred . Leigh-
ton and Mr. Barnwell bad both been
spending 'the evening with me, and
were present now. - Fred took his
hands out of his pocket to say, "I
saw a cart that%worked on that same
plinel pie in Baltimore the other day)
" Oh, Frecl, you didn't:"
"Fact. l'ity about that inventive
friend of yours."
"I am very sorry: I. was thinking
he might get out a patent for it, am!
make money by it. Ile is so pour'
Oh! wish you would give him your
Loots - to mend. That is his trade."
" I'll try him," Fred agreed.
Mr. Barnwell was more eneourfT
ing.than Fred. Ile declared himself'
interested in my protege. "I would
like to have a talk with him in his
rorkshop. , He tells me he has sev
eral other leetle idees ' he has been
studyiu' out that he would like to show
off."
" I know where he liws: I'll go
with you," I said . , grasping at the
notion.
Mr. Barnwell was one of those
apple-checked, prematurely bald,
natty persons who have a natural
predispoSition to benevolence. '• In
my mind's eye ' 7 I beheld WaSoner's
tot tune '-assured, if Mr. Barnwell
would oniv befriend him.
Which brings me hack to where
began.' That-Wps day before yester
day. And here are Mr. liarnWill
and I now, having met by ehance
the-usual way," rapping :it Wagon
er's door.
lie opens it himself, amfushers us
first into a little shop. then into a
little hack room.. "No nee 4I to
knock," he explains. "Customers
allays walk right
The little shop was furnished with
a counter. Undera glass case were
a little candy, a few cakes, a kw pa,.
per flowers. I doubt whether trade
in these articles Was brisk. I fear
the - Wagoners had too many irons in
the lire to succeed at one thing.
Mrs. Wagoner was sewing in one
corner of the hack room on a gaudy
patch : -work quilt. In an opposite
corner was a eobler's bench. The
husband and wife were in direct coni
trast to each other. She. was a pr '
young mulatto woman, with soft
gazelle eyes and a half-asleep air.
lie was as wide-awake looking as his
companion was inert, of a light ea n•
an lad color, which he would have
characterized himself as " hright;"
eyes strikingly large 'and observant;
hair almost straight,. Ile was all
:IC6OII, with he: rtYqesire to please
every gesture.
Mr. Barnwell rubbed his hands
together in his hearty way. "So
you sit and.sew while your husband
works," he tem:al:v(l to Mrs. Wag
oner.
She replied, " Yes. sir,': dreatnily.
Wa!roner added, " ' indeed,
miss." with quadrilple animation.
" It is certainlyvverra , Jeenble for a
gentleman
.to have his occupation,
:11111 for rr 'lady to have hers, and for
they both to carry them. on together.''
Sirs. Wagoner produeed a hair
ring she had been plaiting. This was
another of her industries. "It is
really very Lief', Lou," I said ; at
which praise she smiled and sighed,
and cast down her g: zelle eyeS pret
tily.
Wagoner hail already remarked to
both his visitors: "We would be
extremely prowl if you would set
down. . Oh, 'certainly. It's all in a
lifetime, as the sayill ,
is.'' After a
brief pii.riod, apparently deflig,ncd for
the purpoAe of taking breath, lie pro
ceeded ty exhibit his " leetle hives."
First of all an article which looked
like a mouse trap, but, which he ex
plained was a paten' desig,ned to lift
heavy weights. lie moved little hits
of wire about, and explained to me
the different points of the contri
vance. • It seemed to, me extremely
ingeii us, and I told him so.
" Oh, yes, miss, it's a very niee.af
fair: There's nothing exaely like it.
Certainly, miss and - sir. Look at this
here other leetle notion, sir. It's a
swing. It's a worked bacgards'and
for'ards by jest a pressin' this here
board with the foot. 1 never see
nothin' like this. Certainly, sir. I
am allays a thinkin' out theseileetle
things. Work is dull, glancing at
his empty cobbler's bench.
Now, here's the wagon', you
thOught so much of, miss. I've. put
aii entire new crank into it to make
it •turn morq, easy and convenient
lige. Don't look at it too'close, miss.
It's put together real rough. But
I'm not nothin' of a carpenter, nor
yet a wheelwright And• so—" fin
ishing off with 14usual little nervous
I was .cheered to see that Mr.
Barnwell was giving the subject lifs
close attention. But, alas! he said
to me presently, in the undertone he
REGARDLESS OF DENUNCIATION FROM ANY QUARTER.
•
ktew so well bow' to manage, " They
_have some things like that on the
railroad already—likC it to a T,"
indicating, the mouse4rap. Ile like
wise criticise d the construction of
the wagon, " Springs crooked," he
objected.
Next we were shown . ft go-cart
which was propelled by a wind-mill.
" It will be very nice on windy days,"
1 declared. To which Wagoner add-
ed : " Oh, certainly, miss," cheerily,
and put it aside. "It occurred to
me it was - a eur'ous notion
allays nAllifikin' up these here eu rous
notions when I have a spare hour or
so. But here's soinethin' else, ladies
and gentlemen, so to speak—some
thin'.for the Fourth of July for the
youngsters."
"Another wagon!" Lou and Mr.
Itarrowelitf and .1 all laughed togeth
er., " - Oh, certainly: YeS, miss. You
see, sir, one boy sits in front,
presses this here siiritig with his foot,
like my other paten?, htind oir we air.
And another youngster sits behind,
and presses this here, and that sets
these here bells a-ringin' and these
here tlags a Hail, • Cuhubby,
•
miss !"
" Decidedly. Why, Wag Oiler, this
is splendid." L
," Oh, certainly. Yes, indeed.
That's so, miss."
Mr. Barnwell had -walked up to
the one window to examine vet. au-
other patent more minutely
inventor and exhibitor followed him
Mr. Barnwell asked a number of
questions in his easy; cheerful way.
It ended in Wagoner's wrappint the
paten' up in a piece of paper. and in
Mr. liarnwell's puttingit in his pock
et. " We'll see what. we can do—
wel! see what we can do," Mr. Barn-
well said, as he caught my eye, as

I communicated this possibility to

Ile conside'red

miss. I liked that ar' gentleman's

A day or so afterward I saw Fred.
"That inventive friend of .yours is a
fraud ; lie can't cobble worth a cent,"
lie declared. " I wasted it dollar and
a-half on him looked over those

crooked. Pshav ! Never heard of
a colored inventor. yet."
• Wagoner may be the earliest de
velopment of the type."
"Possibly. You're ,welcome ter
your theory "
That was an -uncomfortable period,
when Fred and I were forever having
a- difference, first about one thing,
then about another. Ile says now
that this fretted him as much as it
did min, but I never dreamed .that
this was the case. Mr. Barnwell was
al‘Nays on hand to console toe if I
chose; he almost literally devote.l.l

I tri d hard to like him—or rather
to love him—in those days. Some
times I thought I had' succeeded—
when I had nut seen Fred for some
time, for instance; when hehad been

of his. But a half hour—ten min

did, unexpectedly, as all the beauti

was ridiculously poor; but, neverthe

When I saw, Mr. Barnwell'for the

Tile next day he was found dead
in his bed. Afterward- pois'on 'was
suggested—that he had taken his
own life ; lint at the time it was be

Whichever•theory may -have been

Thus I learned of a good many de

me by saying, " I had no idea that
Barnwell was an inventor:"
...Nor had I."
"It seems he was. lie had taken

That at' ernoon I 'went to see the
Wagoners. Lou was placidly iron

was 'cobbling; inventive genius was
not above the humdriim necessity of
