Romance is the privilege of the rich, not the pro fession of the nneinployeil. The poor should be practical and prosaic It is better to have a permanent income than to be fascinating. These are the great truths of modern life which Hujjhie Ers kine never realized. Poor Hughie ! In tellectually, we must admit, he was not , . 1 el- I of much importance. He never 8ai titer a brilliant or an ill-natured thing in his life. F.ut then he was wonderfully good-looking, with his crisp brown hair, his clear-cut profile, and his gray eyes. He was as popular with men as he was with women, and he had every accom plishment except that of nuking money. His father had bequeathed him his cav alry sword and a " History of the Tenin sularWar" in fifteen volumes. Hughie bung the first over his looking-glass, but the second on a shelf between KuJT i (iuiiU and limly't Magazine, and. lived on two hundred a year that an old aunt al lowed him. He had tried everything. He had gone on the stock exchange for six months ; but hat was a butterfly to do among bulls and bears ? He had been a tea merchant for a little longer, but had soon tired of Pekoke and Souchong. Then he had tried selling dry sherry. That did not answer. Ultimately he be came nothing, a delightful, ineffectual young man with a ierfect profile and no profetasion. To make matters worse, he was in love. The girl he loved was .aura Merton, the daughter of a retired colonel who had lost his temper and his digestion in India, and had never found either of them again. Laura adored him, and he was ready to kin her shoestrings. They were the handsomest couple in London, anil had not a jieuny between them. The colonel was very fond of Hughie, but wou.d not hear of any engagement. Come to me, my boy, w hen you have got 1(,0(I0 pounds of your own, and we will see about it," he used to say ; and Hughie looked very glum on those days, and had to go to Laura for consolation. One morning, as he was on his way to Holland Park, where the Mertons lived, he dropped in to see friend of his, Al an Trevor. Trevor was a painter. In deed, few people escape that now-a-daya. But he was also an artist, and artists are rather rare. Personally, he was a strange, rough fellow, with a freckled face and red hair. However, when he took up his brush he was a real master, and bis pictures were eagerly sought after. He had been very much attracted by Hughie, at first, it must be acknowledg ed, entirely on account of his looks. "The only people a painter should know," he used to say, "are people who are brfe and beautiful, people who are an artistic pleasure to look at, and an intel lectual repose to talk to. Dandies and darlings rule the world ! However, after lie got to know Hughie lietter, he liked him quite as much f yr his bright, buoy ant spirits and his generous, reckless na ture, and had given him the permanent cjifur to bis studio. When Hughie came in he found Tre vor putting the finishing touches to a wonderful life-size picture of a beggar man. The beggar himself was standing on a raised platform in a corner of the studio. He was a wizened old man with face like wrinkled parchment, and a uiost pi teous expression. Over his shoul ders was flung a coarse, brown cl.iak, all .ears and tatters; his thick boots were patched and cobbled, and w ith one band he leaned on a rough stick, while with the other he held out his battered hat for alms. " What an amazing model P whisper ed Hughie, as he shook hands with his friend. An amazing iiuxlel 7" shouted Tre vor, at the top of his voice. 14 I should. think so! t-uch beggars as he are not to be met with every day. A tramilU mvit rhrr, a living Velasquez! My stars I what an etc him; Kembrandt would have uuxie of him !" " Poor old chap V said Hughie, " How miserable he looks! Hut 1 wippuwe, to you painters, his face is his for tune r "Certainly," replied Trevor; "you don't want a beggar to look happy, do you 7" " How much does a model get for sit ting?" asked Hughie, an be found him self comfortaole seat on a divan. " A shilling an hour." " And how much do you get for your picture, Alan?" "O, for this I get a thousand." "Poundsr " (juineas. Painters, poets and physi cians always get guineas." " Well, I think the model should have a percentage," said Hughie, laughing ; "they work quite as hard as yoo do." "Nonsense, nonsense! Why, look at the trouble uf laying on the paint alone, and standing all day king at one' easel I It's all very well, Hughie, for yon to talk, bat I assure yon that there are moments when art approaches the dignity of man ual labor. But yoa mustn't chatter ; I'm very busy. Smoke a cigarette and keep quiet." set ESTABLISHED 1827. WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1887. After some time the servant came in and told Trevor tliat the frame-maker wanted to speak to him. "IJun't run away, Hughie," he said, as he went out " I will be back in a moment," The old beggar-man took advantage of Trevor's absence to rest for a moment on a wooden bench that was behind him. He looked so forlorn and wretched that Hughie could not help pitying him, ami. he felt in his pocket to see what money he had. All he could find was a sover eign and some coppers. " Poor old fel low,1' he thought to himself, " he wants it more than I do, but it means no han soms for a fortnight," and he walked across the studio and slipped the sover eign into the beggar's hand. 4 The old man started, and a faint smile flitted across his withered litis. "Thank you, sir," he remarked, in a foreign ac cent . Then Trevor arrived, and Hughie took bis leave, blushing a little at what he hal done. He spent the day with Lau ra, got a charming scolding for his ex travagance, and had to walk home. That night he strolled into the Palette Club alxsut 11 o'clock and found Trevor sitting by himself in the smoking-room drinking hock and seltzer.

"I wouldn't paint hiui in a frock coat for anything. What yoa call rags I call romance. What seems poverty to you is picturesqueness to me. However, I'll tell him of your offer." "Alan,"sai1d Hughie, seriously, " you painters are a heartless lot." "An artist's heart is his head," replied Trevor ; " and besides, our business is to realize the world as we see it not to re form it as we know it A rluiam mm me tirr. And now tell me how Laura is. The old model wag quite interested in her." " Yoa don't mean to say yoa talked to him about her?" said Hughie. " Certainly I did. He knows all about the relentless colonel, the lovely damsel, an.! the 10,(X pounds." " You told that old beggar nil my pri vate affairs 7" cried Hughie, vary red and angry. "My dear boy," said Trevor, smiling, "that old beggar, as you call him, is one of the richest men in Europe. He could buy all London to-morrow, without over drawing his account. He has a house in every capital, dines off gold plates, and can prevent Russia g ung to war when he chooejes." "What on earth do you mean?" ex claimed Hughie. L .- " What I say," said Trevor. " The old man yoa saw to-day was Baron Haut berg. He is great friend of mine, buys all my pictures and that sort of thing, and gave a commission a month ago to paint him as a beggar. And I must say be made a magnificent figure in his rags, or perhaps I should say in my rags ; they are an old suit which I purchased in Spain." "Biron Hausbergr' cried Hughie. "Good heavens! I gave him a sover eign V and he sank into an arm chair the picture of dismay. "(tave him a sovereign !" shouted Tre vor, and he burst into a roar of laughter. "My dear boy, yoa will never see it again.- " I think yoa might have told me, Al an," said Hughie, sulkily, " and not let me make such a fool of myself." "Well, to begin with, Hughie," said Trevor, " It never entered my mind that you went about distributing alms in that reckless way. I can understand your kissing a pretty model, but your giving a sovereitrn to an ugly one by Jove, no! Besides, the fact is that I really was not at home to-day to any one. and when you came in I didn't know whether Hansberg would like his name mention tioned. You know he wasn't in full dress." "What a duffer he must think me!" said Htrhie. " Not at all. He was in the highest spirits after you left ; kept chuckling to himself and rubbing his old wrinkled hands together. I couldn't make out why he was so interested to know all aliout yoa ; but I see now. He'll invest yoar sovereign for you, Hughie, pay yoa the iiMerest every six months, and have a capital story to tell yoa after dinner." " I am an unlucky devil," growled I Hughie. " The best thing I can do is to go to bed, and, my dear Alan, you must not tell anyone. I shouldn't dare toshow my face in the Row." " Nonsense ! It reflects the highest cred it on your philanthropic spirit Hughie, so don't ran away. Have another cigar ette, and yoa can talk about Laura as much as yoa like." However, Hughie wouldn't stop, but walked home, feeling very unhappy, and leaving Alan Trevor in fits of laughter. The next morning aa he was at break fast the servant brought him a card, on which was written, " Monsieur Oustave Naudin, Je la pari tie M. le Baron Haus berg." 44 1 suppose he has come for an apolo gy, said Hughie to Dimselt, ana lie old the servant to conduct the visit tor up. An old gentleman with gold spectacles and gray hair came into the room and said, in slight French accent : Have I the honor of addressing Mon sieur Hugh Erskine?" Hughie bowed. "1 have come from Baron Hansberg," he continued. The baron " I beg, sir, that yoa will offer him my sincere apologies," said Hughie. The baron," said the old gentleman, 1 with a smile, " has commissioned me to bring yoa this letter." And he handed Hughie a sealed envelope. On the outside was written : "A wed ding present to Hngh Erskine and Laura Merton, from an old beggar," and inside was a check for 10,000 poun:Is. When they were married Alan Trevor was the best man, and the Baron made a speech at the wedding breakfast " Millionaire models," said Alan, " are rare enough ; but, by Jove, model mil lionaire's are rarer still." Cen. Pleasanton's "Mocking Bird." " How did I happen to be called' Mix-k-irg Bird Pleasanton 7 said he. "That came out of an incident of the war. For three months when we were down there in the swamp with McClellan, with men dying around as by thousands, not a trumpet was sounded and not a band played. These were McClellan 'f orders. Now, I believe in bands on the field. The men were depressed and discouraged. My experience has been that a lively tune will make the boys fight better. One day I went into McClellan's head quarters and told him that the morrow would be the 4th of July. I suggested that we should have a grand review, a salute to the flag, and that the bands should give us some patriotic music, and also recommended him to issue a stir ring address to the boys. The idea pleas ed him, and he made out the necessary orders. The effect on the soldiers was wonderful, but the address, which was the famous one declaring the war to be a failure, was a wet blanket That address by the way, was written by Col. Tom Key, a sort of military secretary to the commanding general. It was Key's idea and not McClellan's, but of course " Mac' had to stand it, as he had adopted it. But I am getting away from my sto ry. Not long after that we got into ac tion. I rode down to the front and found the line breaking. You see the men's ammunition was giving out, and even a veteran w ill run rather than to take the chances of being shot without having the opportunity of returning in kind. I got some artillery in position to hold the line, and I saw two bands near. I ordered them to play something live ly, and they gave the Mocking Bird. The runaways quickly stopped when they heard the music. Ammunition was quickly distributed, and with a cheer they jumped to the front and charged the Johnnies, completely routing them. Somebody dubbed me the 'Mocking Bird,' but the name never went beyond my own troops." The Famous Llbby Prison Es cape. Col. Thomas E. Rose, of the army is just now visiting the cart for the first time in many years. He is the com manding officer at Ft Concho, Texas. Rose is famous as the man who organiz ed the noted escape from Libby Prison, which, resulted in forty-nine uuio die re being freed from that dungeon on the night of February 9, 1S64. His ac count of the details is deeply interesting. He and Capt A. U. Hamilton, Twelfth Kentucky cavalry (since promoted), were the only two who stuck to the work from beginning to end three months and a half. Several times gangs of men be came disheartened and gave np work, and Col. Rose gives all the ciedit for the scientific success to Capt. Hamilton. When they finally made their escape, about 8 o'clix k in the evening, he was the first one to crawl through the last hole into the street He was separated from Capt. Hamilton in avoiding a crowd, and they did not meet again for months. His description of the suffering of the next five days is filled with inter esting incidents. He walked for five days through rain and swamps w ith his clothes often frozen to his body. During that time he had only a few hard-tack to eat, and he was suffering from a broken foot, which grew more painful every day. Alter traveling fifty-four miles from Richmond, he was finally captured by three rebels dressed in federal uniform and taken back to prison. His exchange was finally effected April 30,184, after which he was sent to Annapolis, thence i to Columbus, and he re-joined his regi ment June 6, lSi. Col. Rose is now in his "7th year. Just as He Wanted It The other day a man got aboard of a train on the IVtroit and Lansing road, accompanied by a big dog, and in due course of time the baggageman walked back into the car and said : " Mister, that dog must go intothe.liag gage car." "I guess not" " But I guess he will ! No docs are al lowed to ride in passenger cars." " Well, we'll wait and hear what the conductor says. He is a friend of mine, and if he says the dog can't ride here, that will settle it." It was half an hour later lasfore the conductor, accompanied by the baggage man, got around to the man. " That dog must come out o' here !" an nounced the conductor. For why? He is not hurting any body." " Because no dogs are. allowed in the cars." "And if I don't take him to the bag gage car you'll " " Put him off." " If yoa put him off," replied the man, after taking a Kaik from the window, " I shall go with him. My dog is just as good as I am." "Will yoa take your dog forward?" "No, sir." The train was stopped, and the dog led out and pushed off the platform." "Are yoa going, too?" queried the conductor, with his hand on the bell rope. " Yes, I gness I will. I live in that farm house over there, and if I go on to Howell, where I bought my ticket to, I'll have to walk four miles back. Much ybleeged to yoa, conductor. I just kind o' figgered to have the dog put off at the right spot" I have been for several years a sufferer from hay fever, and severe head colds, and have tried other remedies in hope of getting relief but have found none that can compare with Ely's Cream Balm.

Her The Great Napoleon. On the 24th of July, 181. seventy-two years ago, says a writer in the St Louis O'LJx-lk-Mtocrtit, the British man-of-war Bellerophon, the Emperor Napoleon on board, anchored at Torbay, on the south coast of England, and Napoleon was a prisoner of war. As early as at Wagrain Napoleon showed that his intellect had pawed its prime. Fmm that time he was not himself. His Waterloo campaign was feeble. He was irresolute. lie abdi cated prematurely. After his abdication, aud while yet at Paris, he displayed timidity. From Pans he proceeded to Roehefort, on the west coast of Fran-e, with about ?W00 in gold, with the in tention of going to America. At that date he would have been one of the rich men in this country. He reached Roehefort on July 3. Not only precious hcurs but precious days slipped by. At last escape, which tuifrht liave leen easy, became impossible. Probably it was well. In ' this cnuntry he might have wrought mischief. On July 24 he became F.ngiaitd'' prisoner of war. As he had been an Kuiperor it was not thought proper to confine him as a felon. Yet, in violation of his pleduv, he hail stealthily escaped from Elba and c-.tused blood to flow like water at ijuatre Bras, at Ligny and at Waterloo. It would be a crime against Europe and against humanity to trust him eguin on his honor. Royal though he had been, he must be confined so that another escape would be impossible. The place of his detention was determined upon after full deliberation, and was determined wisely. Napoleon's known intolerance to cold was considered in fixing upon a tropical island. St Helena is an island cast up !y a volcanic eruption. It is mostly rix-ky, with a few narrow valleys. It Li perliaps a dozen miles in circumfer ence, and in 18l contained atmt 4,iK) inhabitants. On account of its mAy bleakness it is rarely visited by ships a fact making it more secure as a royal prison. When Napoleon was told that he was a prisoner of war he affected snrj'rise. (ireat Britian behaved gener ously, and Napoleon was allowed to take w ith him as companions three military and one civil friend, and their families, one physician and twelve servants, to be kept at England's expense. He selected Marshal Bertram!, Count Monthelon, (ieneral Conrg and M. de La Cases a his companions. The support of this company cost England yearly alxiut $100,000. This does not include the enormous expense of keeping at the island a governor with his retinue, a regiment of soldiers and a fleet (n August 8 the fleet sailed from the English Channel for St Helena, and on October 17 Napoleon first stepped npon the island where he was to die. He lodged for a time in a little valley cottage caUed the Briars. More spacious accom niclation was soon after provided. Soon Napoleon began his misbehaviour. Cock burn was kind hearted and generous. but he had his duty in keeping Napoleon under guard. Napolcon.with the smallest capacity, should have seen this and respected it. But he would not CV-k-burn furnished him a hnrne, and offered a wide latitude in which to ride, but added that if he approached within a .ertain distanceof the taach he would lie attended by a Briti-ih officer. Napileon affected to regard this limitation as an insult, and, with childish pettishne s refused to ride at all. Then came fault finding as unjust as it was undignified. After the fash ion of the vulgar, bethought it smart to use nicknames, and railed Lord Cork burn "the shark." Ihtily he repaid generosity with ingratitude, polite ness with insolence. Napoleon did not desire to escape. He himself said that he had lived so long in the eyes of the world thut he could not live without being talked aisuut; that to be buried in privacy in the wilds of America would be unendurable, and that since he could not now occupy a thMne he was greater as a prisoner on that rock than he could be elsewhere. In lS20his health began to fail visibly; his circulation became feeble. Physicians prescribed. He had no confidence and refused medicine. He said he would die of disease, bnt not of medicine. In April 1S21, he grew worse daily. He daily spent hours in the bath, which weakened him. His eyes were sunken; his color was livid. He saw his end at haniL As he was worth mure than UOO.OOO, which in our time would be several millions, he made a will in w hich he expressed his hatred and vindicated his crimes. He denounced his bad hearted brother Louis as a liar. On May, 4, 1321, his hours were evidently numbered. He took no food, and frequently vomited a black matter. He had spasms ami a raging thirst He was too week to speak, and besides his tongue and lij were incapable of articu lation, so that his faint mutterings were unintelligible. The -itli dawned as sunny and tranquil a day as ever dawned on that island. AU day long Napoleon lay as in a stupor.

A Buccaneer of the Sixteenth Century. The greatest of all the hiH-raneera. he who stands pre-eminent amongst them, and horse name even to this day is a charm to call up his deeds of daring, his dauntless courage, his truculent 'cruelty, and his insatiate and unappeasable lust for gold, was Captain Henry Morgan, the bold Welshman, who bpiught buccaneer ing to the height and fluwer of its glory. Having sold hi'iiself, after the manner of the times, for his passage across the seas, he w irked out his time of servi tude at the Barbadoes. As soon as he hail regained his liberty he entered upon the trade of piracy, wherein he soon reached a petition of considerable prom inence. The tirst attempt that Captain Henry Morgan ever ma le against any tow n in the .Spanish Imii.-s was the bold dess-ent upon the city of Puerto del Principe in the island of Cuba, w ith a mere handful if men. It was a deed the U.i.lneMri of which was never outdone by any of like nature not even the famous attack ujsjn Panama itself. Thence tbev returned to their Issits in the very face of the w hole island of Cubit, aroused and determined j Usm their extermination. '0t t,nly did j they make good their escape, but they ! brought away Willi them a vast amount ' of plunder, computed at three hundred j thousand pieces of eigiit, besides five ! hundred head of cattle and many pris- i oners held for ransom. ! But when the division of all this wealth came to ! made, lo ! there were I only filly thousand pieces of eight to Is? ! foun-L What had become of the rest no j man could tell but Captain Henry Mor- j gan himself. Honesty amongst thieves was never an axiem with him. 1 Rude, truculent and dishonest as Cap- I tain Morgan was, he seems to have had a j wonderful power of 11ers.ua.ling the wild i buccaneer under him to submit every-! thing to his judgment, and to relv entire- I ly upon his word. In spite of the vast : sum of money that he had very evident- j ly made away with, recruits poured ; in upon him. nntil his band was letter ! and larger equipis-l than ever. The net towns to suffer were poor Maracaybo and Oibraitur. now inst lie- ginning to recover from the desolation wrought by L'Olotioise. Once more both tow ns were plundered of every bale of merchandise and of every piastre, and once more Imth w.-re ransomed until ev erything was squeezed from the wretched inhabitants. Here aff.tirs were like to have taken a turn, for when Captain Morgan came up from fiibraltar, he found three great men-of-war lying in the entrance to the lake awaiting his coming. Seeing that he was hemmed iu on the narrow sheet of water. Captain Morgan was inclined to compromise the matter, even offering to relinquish all the pltimdcr he ha-1 gained if he were allowed to depart in Jieai-e. But no; the Spanish admiral would hear nothing of this. Having the pirates, as he thought, securely in his grasp, he would relinquish nothing, but would sweep them from the face of the sea once and forev-r. That was an unlucky determination for the Sinmiarils to reach for. instesid of paralyzing the pirati-s) with fear, as he expected it mould do, it simply turned their mad courage into as mail desj?ra tion. A great vessel that they had taken with the town of Maracaybo was conver- ted into a fire ship, manned with logs of wood in montera cups and sailor jackets. and tilled with brimstone, pitch and palm leaves soaked in oil. Then out of ; the lake the pirates sailed to rnee: the j Spaniards, the fire-ship leading the way and bearing down directly npon the ad- j mini's vessel. At the helm stood volun- 1 teers the most desperate and bravest of I the pirate gang, and at the ports stood the J logs of wxl in montera caps. So they 1 came up with the admiral, and grappled with his ship in spite of the thnnder of all his great guns, and then the Span iard saw, all too late, what his opponent really was. He tried to swing loose, but clouds of smoke and almost instantly a mass of roaring flames envelop! both vessels, and the admiral was lost. The second vessel, not wishing to wait for the coming fif the pirat-s, bore down upon the f rt under the guns of which the cowardly j crew sunk her, and made the Is-st of ' their way to the shore. The third vessel, ! not having iin opportunity to ess-ape, was t taken by the pirates without the slight- j est resistance, and the pa-ssage from the lake was cleared. So tlie buccaneers j sailed away, leaving Maracayboand i rib - j raltar prijutrnte a second time. And now Captain Morgan determined i to undertake another venture, the like of j which had never Iseen equalleu in all of j the annals of binvineering. This was ! nothing le- than the descent ujsm and I the capture of Panama, which was, next 1 to Cartagena, perhajei, the most powerfnl j and the mi4 strongly fortified city in the 1 West Indies. iHiw n they poured upon Panama, and out came the Spaniards to meet them ; four hundred horse, two thousand five hundred foot, and two thousand wild I hulls which h:id lieen berths! tinn.tl.pp i to lie driven over the buccaneers so that their ranks might 1st disordered and bro ken. The buccaneers were only eight hundred strong; the others had either fallen in battle or had dropped along the dreary pathway through the wilderness; but in the space of two hours the Span iards were flying madly over the plain, minus six hundred mho lay dead or dy ing behind them. As for the bulls, as many of theui as were shot served as f asl there and then for the half-faiuUhed pirates, for the buc calicers were never 11 .ore at home tlian in the slaughter of cat lie. Then they man-bed toward the city. Three hows more tig'itiug aud they were in the streets, how Iin;, yelling, plunder ing gorging, dram-drinking, and giving full vent to all the vie- and nameless lasts hat bnnns? in their 1 e-.irts like a hell of 'fire. And now followed the usual se- quence of events rapine, cruelty, and ex- j nua his neck, and toyed with the rear tortion;only this time there was no j nis twenty-five cent necktie, town to ransom, for Morgan had given j With my m hole heart and soul, dar orders that it should lie destroyeiL The j ling." torch was set to it, and Panama, one of - WelL then, the next time yoa come the greatest cities in the New World, was j I swept from the face of the earth. bv the deed was done no man but Morgan could tell. Perhaps it was that all the secret hiding-places for treasure might be brought to light ; but whttever the reav- son Witt, it lay hidden in the breast of the great boceaneer himself. For three weeks Morgan and his men abided in this dreadful place; then Uiey man-bed away with one hundred and awventy tiv beasts of harden lli-d with tre..-ures of gold and silver and jewels.

When this dividend was declared, a howl of execration went iip.nnder which even Captain Henry Morgan quailed. At night he and four other conimanilerw slipjssl their rabies and ran ont to sea, and it was said that these divided the greater part of the booty amongst them selves. But the wealth plundered at Panama could hardly have fa!!en short of a million and a half of dollars. Comput ing it at this reasonable figure the vari- ous prizes won by Henry M-irgan in the j West indies would stand as follows: Pin j 1:11a, flD" 1,000; Porto Bello, fcom.OnO; !

Mark Twain contributes to the f'eulnry 1 under the above title, a string of exam- j pies of the queer answers made by pupils I in public schools.

Auriferous, pertainingto an orilii-e. Ammonia, the food of the gods. Capillary, a little caterpillar. Corniferous, rocks in which fossil corn is found. Emolument, head stone to a grave. Equestrian, one who asks questions. Eucharist one who plays euchre. Franchise, anything belonging to the French. Idolater, a very idle person. Ipecac, a man who likes a good din ner. Irrigate, to make fun of. Mendacious, what can be mended. Mercenary, one who feels for another. Parasite, a kind of nmbrel. Parasite, the murder of an infant. Publican, a man who does his prayers in public. Tenacious, ten acres of land.
