Where civility makes a demand,
You just feel the tips f their lingers when

As if stung, draw ijuickly the hand.
While others you meet more inviting will

And extend you their palm with a smile,
And greet you right hearty, at least with the

Will greet you w ith truth in their eyes.
From the grasp of their hand it is ea-y to

THE CLOCK-TASK
A CONKi-SSlU.N FOUND IN A PKISuN IX
THK TIME OK CHARLES II.
I held n lieutenant's commission
in His Majesty's army, and served
abroatl in the campaigns of 1077
and 1075. The treaty of Ximcgucn
being concluded, I returned home,
and retiring from the service with
drew to a small estate lying a few
miles east of London, which I had
recently acquired in right of my
wife.
This is the last Jnight I have to
live, and I will set down the naked
truth without disguise. I was inn er
a brave man, ami had always been
from my childhood of a secret, sul
len, distrustful nature. I sjK-ak of
myself as if I had passed from the
world, for while I write this my
grave is digging ami my name is
written in the black book of death.
Soon after my return to England,
my only brother was seized with
mortal illness. This circumstance
gave me slight or no pain, for since
we had been men we had associated
but very little together. He was
open-hearted and generous, hand
somer than I, more accomplished,
and generally beloved. Those who
sought my acquaintance abroad or
at home, because they were friends
of his, seldom attached themselves
to me long, and would usually say
in our first conversation that they
were surprised to find two brothers
so unlike in their manners and aj
pearanec. It was my habit to lead
them on to this avowal, for I knew
what comparisons they must draw
between us, and having a rankling
envy in my heart, I sought to jus
tify it to myself.
e had married two sisters. This
additional tie between us, as it may
appear to some, only estranged us
the more. His wife knew me well.
I never struggled with any secret
jealousy or gall when she was pres
ent but that woman knew it as well
as I did. I never raist.nl my eyes at
such times but I found hers fixed
upon me ; I never bent them on the
ground or looked another way, but
1 felt that she overlooked me always.
It was an inexpressible relief when
we quarrelled, and a greater relief
still when I heard abroad that she
was dead. It seems to nic now as
if some strange and terrible fore
shadowing of what has happened
since, must have hung over us then.
I was afraid of her; she haunted
me; her fixed and steady look
comes back ujion me, like the mem
ory of a dark dream, and makes my
bllxid run cold.
She died shortly after giving birth
to a child a loy. When my broth
er knew that all hope of Lis own
recover' was passed, he called my
wife to his liedside and confided
this orphan, a boy four years old, to
her protection. He bequeathed to
him all the property he had, and
willed that in case of his child's
death it should pass to my wife, as
the only acknowledgment he could
make her for her care and love. lie
exchanged a few brotherly words
with nie, deploring our long separa
tion, and being exhausted fell into a
slumber from which he never awoke.
We had no children, and as there
had been a strong affection between
the sisters, and my wife had almost
suj'plied the place of a mother to
this boy, she loved him as if he had
been her own, The child was ar
dently attached to her; but he was
his mother's image in face and spirit,
and always mistrusted me,
I can scarcely fix the date when
the feeling first cauio upon me, but
I soon began to be uneasy when
tills child was by. I never roused
myself from some moody train of
thought but I marked him looking
at me: not with mere childish won
der, but with something of the our
pose and meaning that I had so
often noted In his mother. It was
no effort of my fancy, founded on
close resemblance of feature and ex
pression. I never could look the
boy down. lie feared me, but
seemed by some instinct to despise
nie while'he did so ; and even when
he drew back beneath my gaze as
he would when wc were alone, to
llet nearer to the door he would
keep his bright eyes upon me still j
remaps i niue ine iruin irom my-
self, but I do not think that when
this began, I meditated to do him
any wrong. I may liave thought
how serviceable his inheritance
would be to us, and may have w ish -
ed him dead, but I believe I had no
thought of compassing his death.
Neither did the idea come upon me
at once, but by very slow degrees,
presenting itself at first in dim shapes

j there, as lie sat Ujxm a low seat be

ifor hours together from behind a
i tree: starting like the guilty wretch
I was at every rustling of a leaf,and
still gliding back to look and start
again.
Hard by our cottage, but still out
of sight, and (if there were any wind
astir) of hearing too, Mas a deep
sheet of water. I spent days in
shaping with my pocket-knife a
rough model of a boat, which I fin
ished at last and dropped in the
child's way. Then I withdrew to a
secret place which he must pass if
he stole away alone to swim this
bauble, and lurked there for his
coming. He came neither that day
nor the next, though I waited from
noon till nightfall. I was sure I
had hun in my net, for I had heard
him prattling of the toy, and knew
that in his infant pleasure he kept
it by his side in bed. I felt no
weariness or fatigue, but waited pa
tiently, and on the third day he
passed me, running joyously along,
with his silken hair streaming in
the wind, and he singing Ood have
mercy upon me! singing a merry
ballad who could hardly lisp the
words.
I stole down after him, creeping
under certain shrubs which grow in
that place, and none but devils
know with what terror I, a strong,
full-grown man, tracked the foot
steps of that baby as he approached
the water's brink. I was close upon
him, had sunk upon my knee and
raised my hand to thrust him in,
when he saw mv shadow in the
stream and turned him round.
His mother's ghost was looking
from his eyes. The sun burst forth
from behind a cloud: it shone in
the bright sky, the glistening earth,
the clear water, the sparkling drops
of rain upon the leaves. There
were eves in everything.
The whole
41 4 ,
great universe of light was there to
see the murder done. I knew not
what he said; be came of bold and
manly blood, and child as he was,
he did not crouch or fawn upon me.
1 heard him cry that he would try
to love nie not that he did and
then I saw him running back tow
ards the house. The next I saw
was my own sword naked in my
hand, and he lying at my feet stark
dead dabbled" here and there with
blood, but otherwise no different
from what I had seen him in his
sleep in the same attitude too, with
his cheek resting upon his little hand
I took him in my arms and laid
him very gently now that he was
dead in a thicket. Mv wife was
from home that day ami would not
return until the next. Our bed
room window, the only sleeping
room on that side of the house, was
but a few feet from the ground, and
I resolved to descend from it at
night and bury him in the garden.
I hatl no thought that 1 had failed
in my design, no thought that the
water would be dragged and nothing
found, that the money must now
lie waste since I must encourage the
idea that the child was lostor stolen.
All my thoughts were bound up and
knotted together, in the one absorli
ing necessity of hiding what I had
done.
How I felt when they came to tell j
me the child was missing, when I j
ordered scouts in all directions, when
I gasped and trembled at every j
one's approach, no tongue can tell or i
mind of man conceive. I buried I
him that night, hen 1 parted the !
boughs nnd looked into the dark
thicket, there was a glow-worm shin
ing like the visible spirit of (Jod
ujion the murdered child. 1 glanced
down into his grave when I had
placed him there, and still it gleam
ed upon his breast; an eye of fire
looking up to Heaven in supplica
tion to the stars that watched me at
mv work.
I had to meet mv wife, and break i
the news, anil give her hope that the j
child would soon be found. All
this I ditl with some apjiearance, I !
suppose, of being sincere, for I was
the object of no suspicion. This
tlone, I sat at the letl-roojn window
all day long, and watched the spot
where the dreadful secret lay.
It was in a piece of ground which
had been dug up to I e newly turfed,
and which I had chosen on that acr
count, as the traces of my spade
were less likely to attract attention.
The men who laid dow n the grass
must have thought me mad, I calb
ed to theni continually to expedite
their work, ran out and worked be
side them, trod down the earth with
my feet, ami hurried them with
frnnetiu eagerness. They had fin
ished their work before night, and
then I thought myself comparatively
safe.
I slept not as men do who awake
refreshed and cheerful but I did
sleep, passing from vague and shad
owtlv dreams of being hunted down,
to visions of the plot of grass, thro'
which now a hand and now a foot
and now the head itself was starting
out. At this point I always woke
and stole to the window, to make
j sura that it was not really so. That
tlone I crept to lied again, and thus
j i. sjiem me nigni in ms anu siarus,
i getting up ami lying down full
; twenty time, and dreaming the
; same dream over and over again
j which was far worse than lying
' awake, for every dream had a whole
j night's suffering of its own. Once
1 1 thought the child was alive and
, that I had never tried to kill him.
To wake from that dream was the
' most dreadful agony of all.
JULY 14, 1SS0.
The next day I sat at the window
again, never once taking my eyes
from the place, which, although it
was covered by the grass, was as
plain to me its shape, its size, its
depth, its jagged sides, and all as
if it had been open to the light of
day. hen a servant walked across
it, I felt as if he must sink in; when
he had passed, I looked to see that
his feet had not wont the edges. If
a bird lighted there, I was in terror
lest by some tremendous interjxsi
tion it should be instrumental in the
discovery; if a breath of air sighed
across it, to me it whispered murder.
There was not a sight or a sound,
how ordinary, mean, or unimport
ant soever, but was fraught with
fear. And in this state of ceaseless
watching I stent three days.
On the fourth, there came to the
gate one who had served with me
abroad, accompanied by a brother
officer of his whom I had never
seen. I felt that I could not bear to
be out of sight of the place. It was
a summer evening, and 1 hade un
people take a table and a flask of
wine into the garden. Then I sat
down with my chair vptm the grave,
and being assured that nolxnly
could disturb it now, without my
knowledge, tried to drink and talk."
They hoped that mv wife was well
that she was not obliged to keep
her chamber that they had not
frightened her away. What could I
do but tell them" with a faltering
tongue about the child? The offi
cer whom 1 did not know was a
down-looking man, and kept his
eyes, upon the ground while I was
speaking. Even that terrified me !
1 could not divest myself of the
idea that he saw something there
which caused him to suspect the
truth. I asked him hurriedly if he
upiHiscd that and stooped." 'That
the child has been murdered?' said
he, looking mildly at me. " Oh, no !
what could a man gain by murder
ing a pour child?' could have
told him what a man gained by
such a deed.no one better, but "I
held my peace and shivered as with
an ague.
Mistaking mv emotion thev were
endeavoring to cheer nie with the
hope that the boy would certainly
be found great cheer that was for
lm when we heard a low, deep
howl, and presently there sprung
over the wall two great dogs, who
bounding into the garden, repeated
the baying sound we had heard before.
"Mood-hounds!'' cried my vis
itors. What need to tell me that ! I had
never seen one of that kind in all
mv life, but I knew what they were
and for what puqiose they had
come. I "rasned the elbows of mv
! chair, ami neither spoke nor moved.
.... 1 . . . ..
Ihey are oi the genuine Dreed,
said the man whom I had known
abroad, "r.nd Wing out for exercise

keeper."
Both he and his friend turned to
look at the dogs, who with their
noses to the. ground moved restlessly
about, running to and fro, ami up
and down, and across, and round in
circles, careering about like wild
things, and all this time taking no
notice of us, but ever and again re
peating the yell we had heard al
ready, then dropping their noses to
the ground and tracking earnestly
here and there. They now began to
snuff the earth more eagerly than
they liad done yet, and although
they were still very restless, no
longer beat about in such wide cir
cuits, but kept near to one spot, and
constantly diminished the distance
between themselves and me.
At last they came up close to the
great chair on which I sat, and rais
ing their frightful howl once more,
tried to tear away the wooden rails
that kept them from the ground be
neath. I saw how I looked, in the
faces of the two who were with me.

" Thev scent no prey !" cried I.

I the one I knew, verv earnestly, " or

" " Jt them tear me from limb to

t ried I, "Are dogs to hurry men to
shameful deaths? Hew them down,
cut them in pieces."
" There is some foul mystery here!"
said the officer I did not know,
drawing his sword. In the name of
King Charles, assist me to secure
this man."
They both set upon nie and forced
me away, though I fought and bit
and caught at them like a madman.
After a struggle they got me quietly
between them, and then, my Ood!

Ol lt WASHINGTON LKTTKK.
(Fro it Oris Special CoBtutsroxDAXT.)
Washington, July
rsso.
Of all the summer resorts in
America Coney Island is the greatest.
I-iwated as it is below New York on
the sea-coast it affords by cttsy ac
cess the thousands of people "who
swelter in New York, Brooklyn,
Jersey City and Holioken through
out the week a pleasant place to get
a good breath of air on Sunday.
Sunday is the big day at Coney
Island and last Sunday I was one of
seventy thousand iieoplo who visited
that place representing every condi
tion of life from the beggar to the
millionaire.
When we started from our hotel
early in the morning the thermom
aters h tinted to the nineties and the
atmosphere was "muggy" that one
could scarcely breathe freely and
existence in town became a torture.
Thb early exodus astonished even
the steamlwat runners. Takinz the
elevated road built by Tildenfe Co.,
we soon landed at the Battery over
the tops of houses. This ride gave i
us a ginid opportunity of observing, j
through the open Minds of the in
habitants windows as wrglidcd along
how oor jieoplc lived in New York.
Some were in bed yet, others up ami
arranging their toilets, some sewing
by the windows, while a goodly
number were at their breakfast
tables.
At the Battery we were soon alxiard
the boat which without waiting long
was weighed down with hundreds of
perspiring mortals. The lxat was
crowded and we had to content our
selves with a single stool on the
fore deck where the sun's rays slid
in under the r.wning nnd made peo
ple blink and perspire.
Nevertheless we voted the situation
splendid as soon as the boat got
under way and stirred up a charm
ing breeze. In a few moments we
were out on the bay and with bands
playing soon passed around Oovcr
nor's Island to the Bay Ridge land
ing where we took the steam cars to
Manhattan Beach. To ride in the
comfortable cars was quite a relief
to our situation on the boat. Soon
we were insight ofthethebig hotels.
At Coney island there was a cool
breeze from the south. Had there
Wen nothing lievond the heat de
stroying zephyr that swept in from
the sea, the lieaeh would have been
a haven of rest and comfort. But
there was good music, good bathing,
good preaching and there were good
dinners. The piazzas, the walks,
and the promenade along the edge
of the sea were like the streets of
New York on St. Patricks' day, ami
moreover the great good-natured
crowd were bent on enjoying them
selves. It goes without saying that the en
joyment was hearty. li the demand
for comfort and pleasure was un
limited the supply was inexhausti
ble. Those that did not bathe enjoy
ed seeing those that did. Those that
did not care for music could enjoy
going up in the balloon, walking on
the beach or riding on the marine
railway. Those who needed spiritual
consolation were supplied. Those
to whom none of these were satisfac
tory could watch the crowd, get
weighed, have their pictures taken,
drink milk or soda water, set on the
pier, shoot at targets with bows or
rifles, look at the excessively fat
and lean people in the shows, find
cause for wonder that life could have
a stopping place in bodies so small
as those of the midgets, have their
fortunes told by seers and seeresses,
examine the operation of blowing
glass, go to the top of the tower, ride
on swings, take lessons from the ca
mera, study the time tables of the
boats and trains, or in cool shady
retreats give their minds over to
self-communing and the contempla
tion of the changing ivinorama whose
liest picture was universal enjoyment
and pleasure.
The religious service alnive refer
red to was conducted by the Bight
Rev. Bishop Littlejohn of the Diocese
of Ixmg Island in the long parlor of
the Manhattan Beach hotel, where
the guests gathered. Richly dressed
California ladies, attending the races
with their husbands, were in the
room, sparkling with diamonds,
and wearing dainty slipjurs partly
covering richly embroidered hose
which peeped from lienealh the skirts
of silk and satin, lutrlck (Jilmore

out the responses, Bi.shop Littlejohn '.
addressed the large congregation i
upon the spiritual birthright j a .--
ed by all men. The immensity
the ocean, he said looking rerlecti vely
out UKn the calm Mue waters," was
a tyi of God's own greatness, and
ami the innumerable sands upon the
shore typefied the multitude who
who were to be gathered at last in
the mansions of Heaven. When
Christ was on earth he emphasized
the truth of what he taught by
gathering his disciples ujion the sea
shore, ir in a boat on the sea a little
way from land, or on the mountain.
The exchange of Esau's birthright
for the wretched equivalent ofamess.
of pottage then attracted the preach
er's thoughts. What was true of
Esau, he said, was tme of every man
to-day. At some moment he was
tempted to resign his immortal birth
right for some physical pleasure.
The truth was all the more apparent
in these days ofluxurious life, when
the tendency is to drift in a current
of soft and enervating epicurianism.
How many there were upon whose
foreheads were stamped the words
Let us eat dnnk and be merry, for
to-morrow we die."
Jn the same connection the Bishop
poke in forcible denunciation of
the mean and easv ways adopted to
gain fame, the sliort cuts taken to
wealth, and the still worse short
cuts to power. Tlie sermon, which
was attentively listened to, was foL.
lowed by the long-metre duxology.
After chuach we took iti the sights.
As the day pas! on the crowd
seemed to get larger and larger.
Immense train loads had been
almost constantly arriving over the

voted the situation delightful all the

New York and this is part of them.
Ihe music ot a dozen bands occa

Supjier was now in order an.l to a Te of sears down to my grave to at
clambake we went. ti"st my devotion to my country !
By a patented apparatus clams
are baked in two minutes. The bill
of fare included clam chowder,
roasted clams, broiled bhicfish. clam
fritters, watermelons, &c.
It was amusing to o'rscrve the
different methods of different persons
for attacking the clams. Those that
had never Wen to a clambake did
not know how to extract the clams
from the shells, nnd w hen they had
knifed and forked them out they
didn't know w hat to put on them, or
what part of the clam to cat. This
was especially the case as regarded
soft-shell clams, each of which has a
short, blunt, tough appendage, and
a hard membrane surrounding the
whole clam, like a ring. The green
horns generally gave it up before
they had finished half the dish of
clams, and called for thenexteourse
