Jeanai Welch in Buff&lo Courier. List to the thrtlllng tale of a handker chief. Not many set .sons since a fair and very beautiful Buffalo girl lost her hand kerchief In climbing the Alps, and al though we may fancy she searched long and zealously in the shadows of the mountain pathway, shlfne'er found It. A few hours after a party of tourists. numbering two, and consisting of a newly wedded husband and wife, whose mar riage rites had been performed by a Buffalo clergyman but a few short weeks before in the bride's native home at Grove- land, Livingston county, passed over the same road, and the bride's affrighted steed, backing and rearing at sight of the white handkerchief at the roadside, well- nlgh plunged oyer the precipice. The husband hastily dismounted and picked up the handkerchief, and.handed it to his wife who put it in her pocket and hence forth it became a her own, for the name on the border, which she atrpposed to be that ot some English dame, was not "to be found on the register of the mountain Inn where they spent the night.. From that brief blissful wedding journey the bride returned to America to attend the funeral of her father-in-law In Canada, and while visiting a friend in her native place, Grove land, she chanced to mention to a kinswo man the curious circumstances of finding the handkerchief, and her pleasure, since she was unable to get a clue to the owner, of being Justified in retaining so dainty a bit of cambric - in her own possession. About one year after, having returned meanwhile to Europe, she died in Geneva, Switzerland, where she had resided since her brief trip to America. In her last will and testament she ordained that her wardrobe should be given to her kins women at Groveland, N. Y. In the sum mer of 1885, a young gallant from Buffalo chanced to be visiting in Groveland, and one day In playing lawn-tennis with him his fair yonng hostess dropped her hand kerchief on the lawn. With his ' accus tomed courtesy he dashed across the lawn and seized the handkerchief which lay like a snowflake on the green expanse, when his startled eye caught sight of a familiar name on the border. Perhaps the original owner of the mouchoir can tell why his hand trembled and his cheek blanched, as in restoring the bit of cam- brio to his companion, he said, slightly faltering: ' Do you know Miss ?" repeating the name on the handkerchief. "Why.no. !" you f" said she. "Then, pray tell me," said he, evading the answer, "how- did you come in pos session of her hankerchief t" "why,", replied she, "I may say that I inherited It."- A lately deceased kins woman left me a portion of her wardrobe, and I have always had a peculiar feeling about this handkerchief (which was among her things), because it so nearly caused her death,'.' detailing to him the circumstances related above. My kinswoman," added she, " always supposed that It belonged originally to an English lady." -The handkerchief was witnoui more ado entrusted to the keeping of the hero of the tennis field, who returned It to Its first owner. - .

HZWSFAFES AND MAGAZINE WOSX. wow and Then a Woman Has Be ome a Sailor, and Haa REade Fame ant Sometimes lTortane Feroclona Female Pirates. . " Women are making their way on shore into all sorts of trades and occupations," eald an old skipper to a New York Sun reporter, "but it will be along time, I'm thinking, before you win see a woman in command of a Liverpool packet running across ;the Westejra jKOUbtilfoft but-what a woman could do all the work a skipper needs to do on one of these big steamships; providing she knew enough. It is a mat ter of endurance with -the skipper, and not muscular strength. The skipper neither pulls on ropes nor hands and reef 8, nor stands a trick at thewheeL He ust stays on deck and looks after things. without any watch toelow worth speaking of, from the time he leaves Queenstown till he's tied up alongside of some North River pier. There are plenty of women who co aid do that if they knew enough. But the trouble is the learning. They have got to do the work before they can boss it; at least, that's the general idea among sailor men. 1 There have been cases, however, though not very many where women have shown themselves to be first-class sailors. Maybe you have seen a big schooner yacht cruising about the lower bay with a handsome gray-haired woman standing at the wheel and keeping her full and by with one spoke. I have, any how, and I am told that there are half a dozen ladies whose husbands belong to the New York Yacht Club who are as handy about the deck as their husbands are. 'Ship-owners have a cast-iron, case- hardened rule which forbids' skippers to take their wives to sea, the theory being that a Captain will be looking after the wife when he onght to be looking after the ship. It's a bad theory, and is not al ways held to. There is the case f the cargo ship Edgar, homeward bound from Senegal to London. The fever broke out. and all the crew were prostrated except the Captain and the mate. These two men 1 went into the engine room, and the Cap tain's wife steered. But for her grit the ship would hare been lost. "Then there was the heroic Mary Pat ten, who was with her hosband in a voyage around the Horn in the early days of the California gold excitement. Her husband was taken sick off the Horn, and she took his place on the quarter deck. The crew were a lot of swabs, and none of them knew a sextant from a spud-bag, not even the mate ; but Mrs. Patten kept the log. and took the sun, and navigated the ship into 'Frisco, caring for her husband when tt wa her watch below.. - v ' Another case where a woman served as skipper is that of the British brig Cleetus, Miss Betsy Miller, master. Her. father was a ship owner of Saltcoats. He had no sons, and took his daughter into his office and about the docks as a com panion. She gradually picked up a knowledge of ships and navigation. Fin ally she became so much enamored with a rife at sea that her father put her in ommand of the Cleotus which he built especially for her. For more than twenty years she sailed the Cleotus about the Stormy coasts of Great Britain and the con tinent, resisting the wooings of the many gallant sailor boys who were fascinated by her bravery, and when her father died she succeeded to and conducted his busi ness successfully. "Not lone ago a man who had foryears served as quartermaster in the British navy died 'at a hospital in London. His name was Thomas Phelnu. He was born on the frigate Swallow iu 1812, his mother having been regnkirly shipped on board the vesseL She was a married woman, her husband beiiig a gunner. Three weeks after Tommy was born the Swallow was attacked by two French vessels off Frejus. During the action Mrs. Phelan was stationed toassist the surgeon in the care of the wounded. While the ships were engaged, yardarm to yardarm. word reached her that her husband had been dangerously wounded on deck. She at once rushed on deck and took him in her arms. He opened his eyes, whispered her name, and then closed them ag3in. At that instant a large cannon ball took off her head, and the two died together. They were sewed up in one nammocK ana buried in the sea after the action was over. "Not the least interesting of the stories of women at sea are the tales of the I fe male pirates. Some of them are historical as. well as -romantic. Aiwuaa, tne daughter of Synardus, a Gothic King, was betrothed by her father to Air, the heir to the throne of Denmark. The proposed marriage was so disagreeable to Alwilda that she gathered a troup of young Ama zons, dressed them in the garb of sailors, left her home, and put to sea as a viking. She was exceedingly courageous and suc cessful. Finally she one day found a crew of pirates who were bewailing the loss of their commander. She proposed that they sail under her command. The men were pleased with, her bearing and readily accepted. Wth this increase ot forces she became a terror to the coast and rapidly increased her fleet and the number of her sailors. It finally became necessary to exterminate this new band of pirates under an unknown and handsome commander, and Air, the rejectea lover, was placed in command of the naval fleet that was ordered to search for her. The two fleets met in the gulf of Finland. Alwilda laid her ship alongside the Ad miral's, and In the battle that ensued half of her crew was killed outright, and she wasoverpoweaed by the Admiral him self. She wore a casque over her .heart, and was not recognized until she had been disarmed, and the casque was re moved. The astonishment of the pros pective King was great when he saw the' runaway girL His valor in action had meantime won the respect of the fair pirate, and she married the man who conquered her.

The publishers of these periodicals appreciate their true status. Year by year they are paying more and more attention to the nictoi-ial vam nnauy .co ne soui on ,10.6 merits or the engravings alone and they are ad vertised very much as the late Dr. Bran dreth advertised his celebrated proprietary; medicines, r It is nip and tack ; between the magazines and certain manufacturers as to which shall sell the most volumes or bottles. The editor of one of the leading maga zines of the country told me on one: occa sion that he did not see how it was possi ble for anybody to make a living by magazine writing. In my humble opinion this settles the Question. A pursuit At which it is impossible to make can never In this age command the best and brightest minds. The magazines pay no salaries except to the editors and only pay for the matter they print. No doubt the newspapers would be glad enough if they could do likewise, but, mark well the newspapers cannot exist without a class of writers who not only are paid for their work, but for their time when they are not working, and who command, even the lowest of them, living salaries not only in an open market, but where there are multitudes of people ready and anx ious to write for nothing. In no branch of trade for literature is a trade as well as art can this anomalous condition be found where workers hold their own, de manding and receiving good wages for work which an innumerable army clam ors to do for nothing. The rewards of magazine writing are meager even to the most suceessf uL Jun ius Henri Browne, certainly a most de lightful writer, is quoted as saying that he was never able to make more than $3,000 a year by the hardest kind of work on the magazines. Mrs. Frances Hogdson Bur nett, when the Scrlbners were advertising her the loudest, did not receive $2,500 a year from the magazine.

It is a case in which the interests of the author and publisher are peculiarly asso ciated, th popularity the hook being an advertisement for the magazine : la which it first appeared but aa far the ae tual money paid for the serial .parts it Is probably not large. As for the salaries of one editor-in-chief of a magazine, and one or two subordinates, I imagine they are good ; as the magazine pays only two or three salaries among its workers it can afford to do something handsome for them.

Children who have a little money ought to practice saving something. Many boys and girls of to-day hardly know a higher use for any money that comes into their hands than spending It for some foolish thing as quickly as possi ble. To such a lesson in self-denial and econ omy is very Important. As go the boy's pennies and dimes, bo, very likely, will go the man's dollars and hundreds by and by. Without having the spirit of a miser, the person accustomed to save has more pleasure in laying up than a spendthrift ever knows. The way to keep money is to earn it fair ly and honestly. Money so obtained Is pretty certain to abide with its possessor. But money that is inherited, or that iu any way comes without a fair and just equivalent, is almost certain to go as it came. The young man who begins by saving a few dollars a month, and thriftily increases his store every coin being a representa tive of good, solid work, honestly and manfully done stands a better chance to spend the last half of his Ke in affluence and comf ort.than he who,in his haste to be come rich,obtalns money by dashing specu lations, or the devious means which abound in the foggy region lying between fair dealing and actual fraud. . Among the wisest and most thrifty men of wealth, the current proverb Is, money goes as it comes. 7 ' Let the young make a note of this and see that their money comes fairly, that it may long abide with them.

A well-dressed young gentleman of about thirty years of age presented his card to the head of one of the largest bus iness houses of Louisville, Ky. He repre sented a house in a neighboring city, and Was accorded a cordial reception. After getting through with the business in hand the merchant was so prepossessed with the agent that he asked the pleasure of introducing him to his family at dinner the same day., . The invitation was mod estly and thankfully accepted, and. after fifew remarks the gentleman separated to meet at an appointed piace. ana; nour. The merchant immediately intormed his wife of the intended, visit; that she might make suitable arrangements for the en tertainment of the expected guest. It was a warm day, just the sort of a day to keep away from extensive toilets and new acquaintances. So indignation, followed the announcement that a guest was com ing, and the daughters declared that they would neither take their hair out of curl papers nor change their gowns for other garments. This in consideration of the paternal ancestry furnished food for con versation for the next four hours, and by tlnie for dinner the sweet girls had en tered into a solemn compact that they would not only look as ugly as possible, but did not intend to say "a single word" to the horrid stranger. , They knew he would be old and uninteresting, and they didn't care any way. Finally the guest was announced and the young ladies, at least two of them, gloating over their independence, and each feeling every inch a martyr, floated to the parlor In their neglige costumes and were formally in troduced to the stranger. Bwt one of the sisters broke the ' compact entered into and appeared in a neat-fitting dress, with her hair becomingly arranged and form ing a strong contrast to her more inde pendent Bisters. The dinner passed off without incident, the polite stranger making himself generally agreeable, but, paying no especial attention to either of the three. Observing the etiquette of po lite society, he called on the family the next evening, and after spending a brief hour with them left with the assurance that he would be welcomed at any time he might return to the city. The young ladies voted him :" the nicest man" they had ever met, and the dear mother could talk of no one else. Three or four days after this, while the father was engrossed in the details of business, one morning he came across a letter which banished all thoughts of trade and profit from his brain. It was from this young stranger. He asked per mission to address his daughter. After worrying over the matter all the morning the fathei took the letter home and gave it to his wife. Not understanding it, she gave it to each of the daughters. .They were as much startled as their parents,. The divine stranger had previously given no Intimations of any serious intentions, and had hardly had a word in private with any of them.. 'There was a mystery some where. After giving - the matter much consideration it was decided that the father should write the handsome stranger and ask of him plainly which one of the daughters he desired to address. The letter was written and mailed, and oh I the suspense and agitation of the next four days. No One who came to the door of the beautiful house could bring as much of interest to the occupants as the post man, and his coming was the one absorb ing topic in that household. Finally, on the third morning there came a letter ; it was postmarked from the city of the stranger, aed the handwriting was much like that of the first. It was anxiously taken to the most private part of the house, and, with mother and daughters breath less with suppressed excitement, the seal was broken, the contents read, and the name of the fortunate girl disclosed.. It was the one who had taken the pains to dress herself becomingly at the first dinner. The letter was answered affirmatively ; the young and ardent lover immediately returned to the city to begin the wooing of his lady-love. It was a short and an ar dent courtship, and in the end he won his suit. After remaining for a week or ten days the gentleman returned home, got the free consent of his own parents, and the wedding-day was appointed. : They were married in eight weeks and. live in elegant style in a city not far from Louis ville. The parents of the gentleman are wealthy and he is the only child. Swallows Kill a Hawk. Near Youngs ville, N. Y., a large hawk swooped down upon a poultry yard, and, seizing a hen, flew with it to the top of a neighboring tree. The hen made a great outcry, and before the hawk could kill it a swallow made a dash at the hawk, and pecked and worried it so that it released the hen and attempted to fly away. The hen fluttered to the ground and ran back to the poultry yard. The swallow kept Up Its attack on the hawk, and it was soon joined by other swallows. . The cour ageous little birds surrounded the hawk, and assailed it fiercely, until the big bird dropped to the ground. The farmer. on whose ground the conflict took place hur ried to the spot, '. The swallows had the hawk on the ground and were pecking it mercilessly. ; They were so much engaged in the attack that the farmer walked with in three feet of them before they discovered him and flew away. The farmer picked up the hawk. Both of its eyes had been picked out, and it was so badly hurt in other ways that it died in a few minutes. 1 The Secret ot True Happiness. Somebody has said what everybody has observed, that those persons who have at tained to eminence In any vocation of life have foUowed a uniform, course, that: of earnest work and unwearied application. None are truly happy but those that are busy; for the only real" happiness lies in useful work of some kind, either of the hand or the head, so long as overexertion of either Is avoided. It should be the aim of every one to be employed. If all men and women were kept at some useful em ployment, there would be less sorrow and wickedness In the world. "Here Lies." " Yes," said an old man, visiting the grave-yard in his native town after long years of absence, and reading an inscrip tion "'Here lies Sam. Brownlow.' I might have known he was lying some where, for he never told the truth that I can ever remember of in all his life. But it's kinder mean throwing it up to him that way after he's dead and gone and can't hit back." Cn of Noii-Clinrch Attendance. According to information given to the Christian Union by it large number of clergymen, not more than live per cent, of -American artisians in cities habitually attend religious services of any kind. All but two of th letters say that the attend ance Is diminishing, and all but ono that the neglect is not from unbelief in Chris tianity. The cause of non-church attend ance, as given by these experts, may bo summed as follows: The" men have to go to work all the week, en1 they recreate on Sunday. They cannot dress as well as these With- whom.-they ; must associate. and therefore stay away. .: They think ss-J They are unable -to pay for the privileges because of the high prices of things which they must have. , The large salaries of the ministers disgust some. Some feel that the minister is a hireling, and there fore seeks to upbuild his church as a doctor seeks to increase his practice, not from love of souls, but to increase his salary. Some employers of labor are so bad In their treatment of their employees that the men do not wan t to go where they shall meet those in whoae real Christianity they have so little faith. All the letters Indicate that especially in the arge places artisians feel they are not welcome in churches frequented by the wealthier classes. An Extraordinary Shipwreck. On an outward March trip of the steam ship Germanic she .discovered one day the wreck of a vessel, to which several men were clinging, and holding aloft a flag of distress. A fearful sea was run ning, but the Germanic's captain de termined to do what he could at all hazards, so a boat was lowered and four Bailors, literally taking their lives In their hands, started for the wreck. After sev eral hours of hard work they" reached it, when, instead of rescuing the men, they were seen to put about and pull for the steamship. The Germanic's captain was astonished beyond measure, but. after some hours of exhaustive work, the sail ors returned, to explain that the wreck was in no danger of sinking, and that the only want the people on board made known to them was to be taken in tow, giving as a reason that they had on board a cargo'of fish which they wished to set into market before the expiration of Lent. The wreck's mast, rudder and sails had been blown away, but still her captain would not abandon his fish. The Ger manic and her very mad captain steamed away, leaving the fish owners flying their flag of distress. As the wreck has neyer since been heard of, it is supposed that the fish, wreck and sailors kept Easter at the bottom of the sea. . Humors. of the Say.

' " Uncle John," said Annabelle, " you must congratulate me. 1 am graduated." "Hni !" grunted Uncle John; "so is our old thermometer out in the barn, but what is it good for ?" A coincidence : " All alone, my dear child. I'm afraid that husband of yours neglects you terribly. He's always at his club when I call." "Yes, mamma ; but he at home at all other times." Alonzo writes that he eannot help writ ing -'poetry"; that it is a frenzy with him a passion. That he talks in verse even in ordinary conversation, and wants to know if a trip across the ocean to the homes of poetry would not be good for him. O, no. Alonzo ; no.

In the campaign of 1884 the two candi dates for governor In a " pivotal " West ern State arranged for a series of joint discussions. Both men were popular, both of fine appearance and were so well matched in mental force and as orators that the contest between them promised to be a magnificent one. For severa weeks the scales balanced evenly. But one day the brilliant Republican candidate came up ailing. He seemed overcome and spoke laboredly. Tbenet day he was even less effective. Later he wa compelled to ask his opponent for a postponement of certain appointments, which was granted. Before the campaign ended he had abandoned the field alto gether. .Meantime the Democratic candidate continued his canvass, seeming to grow stronger, cheerier and more effective with each succeeding week. He was elected. One evening in December while entertain ing several gentleman he said : HI will' tell : you a ..campaign secret which gaveme the election.

Don't preach politeness and propriety to them and violate their laws yourself. In other words, let the example you set them be a good one. Never quarrel in their presence. If you want to quarrel, wait till the children are gone to bed. Then they will not see you, and perhaps by that time you may not want to quarrel- Never talk "old folks " talk in front of children. ' Never speak flippantly of neighbors be 'fore children. They may meet the neigh bors' children and have a, talk about it. Teach them to think that the little boy In rags has a heart in him In spite of the rags and a stomach, too. Teach them, as they grow older, that a respectful demeanor to others, a gentle tone of voice, a kind disposition, a gener ous nature, an honest purpose, and an in dustrious mind, are better than anything else on earth. Teach them these things, and self-reliance and intelligence and capa bility will come of themselves. Teach them these things, I say, and your boys and girls win grow up to be noble men and women.
