I keep on thinking of those who
arc born into misery, who never know
anything s:ivo misery, tind who can
not possibly be rescued from misery.
The sight of theni used to lacerate my
heart, and now, when 1 ran consider
most things with composure, it seems
queer when a fortunate iilirasemonger
tells mo that :i tew millions of miser
ables mole or less do not mutter. 1
have known joy. Alii (lod, liavo 1
not i Througli the splendid hush of
the night 1 have walked on tind on,
because I could not sleep for the de
light of living; ami tho pouriuy of
the. moonbeams quickened my blood
like wine, lint those pretty sensations
can only bo felt by people who have
food inside tlietiL, and it shelter lo stay
in when their raptures slacken. lo
uny of the. kindly optituistie people
over trv to imagine thu coitr.su of n
bleak lifej Ouo wild morning, ubout
4 o'clock, when powdery snow wus
dancing in wreathes over the iron
ground, 1 found ft poor cliup squalling
in ll recess out King' cross way, and
bo coughed with a lucking click that
was ugly. Ho wore the remains of a
summer overcoat; he had no shirt,
and ho wns dying of consumption,
dving on that cruel rend, with a wind
blow ing enough to cut, you in two. I
did not ask bis opiu jiiis on thejovs
of life.
Then take (he case of Sal Fleming.
Sal was married to a j"oed fellow, who
had ii laborer's job in a. limber yard,
and tho people m the long tumble
down street thought unit the couple
wero rather well off, for Jerry Flem
ing had 11 shillings luul sometimes Y2
shillings per week; and Sal could
have n turn at wood chopping almost
whenever bo liked U ask for it. So
when tho neighbors ca.uio to borrow a
spoonful of tea or Ibn it.in saucepan,
thev would say. "It's well to be you,"
anil then they "would give details con
cerning their own men'ij ill luck. In
tho street of eighty-four houses, there
was only one clock, uml that stood on
jerry's mantlepieee; it could not al
wavs bo depended upon to go, but it
had never been in pawn, and that fact
balanced every Haw m its character.
Then there was a crib uml a stool and
two chairs and n bed, which had orig
inally been oblong, uml some crock
ery. No wonder tliu women thought
of Sal'a bouso as a desirable establish
ment. It was said that the back room
contained a chest of drawers, and that
in theso drawers there wero tablecloths
and sheets, but it is unwise to receive
extravagant rumors. Sal was not
pood looking, but her rude face, with
Its dull, kind eyes, was not unpleasant
Iosco. Sho cared very mile lor lam
ing, us sho never joined tho line of
matrons who stood at their doors,
skirling like gulls on fine, evenings.
Nor did sho liko the public bouses at
either end of tho street. One was u
flaring place where the landlady wore
black satin, the landlord talked about
his trap uml fho barman wore a white
shirt; the other was a recking bole
kept by a beetle browed person, w ho
looked oily uml corpulent (you never
see nil ill "fed publican in those quar
ters inoiu than you do elsewhere).
Sal went oncu a week to the beetle
browed man's establishment, and that
was on Sunday ut midday, and Jim
went on Saturday night; the amount
which they paid' weekly to the beetle
browed one was fourpence, so you
could not cull iheni intemperate. Now,
them was uslow. dull sort of happiness
in all (his, and, if one had asked Sal
lio.v bhe fared, she would have Bald,
"I can't complain. We get our grub
and u piece of meat Sundays, uml we
can put a shilling or two away.
There s manv would swop with us."
To givo tlio optimists pleasure, 1
may say that from 8 to 10:15 on Sat
urday night was a (jocxl lime for Sal,
and slio sometimes came very near
smiling. She unci Jerry walked otil
into tho great, broad, main street;
Jerry lit his clay and rocked his bat
with a most rakish air; Sal wore her
gray shawl, and some of the neigh
bors said they wero toll's. The oil
lumps stank and lluttered; the hawk
ers bawled hoarsely; Ilia awful mu
sic of thousands of voices being in the
air liko suppressed thunder, and the
brooding bao from many breaths
whirled into w eird shaies that formed
and undulated in tho blurred glim
merings of too ligbU. Sal had a tritle
of tho gamblers excitement while
choosing tho moat for next day, and
Jerry felt all the dignity of a connois
seur as be called his silent partner's
attention to various things. "You,
Sal, when you turns round, just see
this snow yere. anil inaiusnowu
meati See him. Now bo ll swuller that
there poker in arf o minute," and so
on; and Sal thought Jerry was artful,
because he could tell the meaning of
everything. On Sundays Jerry had
nothing to do, and hostceped himself
in tho pleasure of easing las muscles
to an extent which might damage my
tUeory if I bad nothing more to say.
lie could not read, and ho could not
understand newspaper languago, but
his mate, Joo Toms, tho hawkor, trans
luted the history cf the more select
murders to him. "She ups and she
sei, 'You ain't never goin to '.car the
last, if you don't bloomin well give
me my right.' 'Shan't,' sei he. You
ahull she says; 'or my swell father II
. . i .. ... -f .....ll..' a4 vntl
est knock tons of stuflln' out o' you.
I swear you snau. noi m......
shall,' says lie; and he outs with his
pistil and he corpse her, d ,ll"':n he
trios the same on hisself, and misses,
and now lies in the horspital." Thus
would Mr. Tom vary the language of
nicia. 1 lie menus (Hit not understand
politics. Jerry explained his theories
thus: "One o the blokes round lier
mondsev way conies to tho yard when
1 was a liaviu' my bit o' grub, dinner
time, mid he se., 'If you haven bit
left, mate, I don't mind bavin' of it.
Ain't bit since yesterdav niornin'.' So
1 goes hiui halves, uml then ho si-..
'We'll be all right soon. 1 ain't had a
bowcrfora fortni t; but aswsil gent
i don't know what they call hint, I i 1 1
he's one o' them what sends the per
lire mid the swaddii s over the water
niul things -and bo wi we'll have
wotesl' I si-. : 'Did the cove give you
no grub! If he didn't rive you ho
grub, what's the good of his jorl "
and Jerry spoke no more.
And so the good dnvs went oil until
Sfil's boy was born, slie used to look nt
the baby by the hour, and hereyes had a
mysterious yearning in them; her
cold faeo grew soft in its plainness,
and she acquired a Inokof quirt pride
very diU'iTcnt from her old dim neu
trality. The youngster grew nicely,
and ho was a source of much somber
glee to Jerry. The man used to light
nobis pipe and smoke in the gloomv
front room, while his sou sprawled
desperately round on the lloor, and be
thought it was rum that ho never knew
how pretty a child was before. If lie
strolled on to fuo itveuient with the
baby in bis anus, the costers and the
match girls ti.-ed to dial!' him as they
passed. "Wait till you ave's my lot;
von won't be so fond o' handlin' of
Vm." "Ain't old Jerry pleased with
hisself i" and so on. Sal liked all this
notice, and she liked to see her man
nursing In r babv she had a position
in the w orld. Sho never kissed Jerry,
hut she would slap him on tho hack
and say, ' You're a proper old bloke.
I rubbed your two shirts through
whilo you was a-lioldiu' the kid.
Come, then ("and then she would nuz
zle her hard faeo to the baby's neck
in eeslatie abandonment. When the
youth tried to walk, lie took il.o or
thodox two steps and came down.
After this he looked round for plau
dits, and Jerry always gavo a grunt
of laughter, while Sal smiled and
looked proud. Tho moro tho baby
tumbled, tho moro fresh and entranc
ing Jerry found the performance,
"llow ho do Hop, to he Mire!" he ob
served again and again, and at length,
w ith a look of triumph -the look of
the successful author- he yaid: "11c
can hav.) his proper name, but I'm
goin' to call him Flop. Kcei" "All
right." said Sal, and she humored the
man's w him. As fur Jerrv, he ninde
the lives of his chums burdensome by
explaining bow this humorous con
ception lirst occurred to him, Ucause
even six times was not quite enough i
for him to tell the anecdote to one au
ditor. There are other parental bores
besides Jerry.
I',ut the good days had to go. Jerry
cot hit bv a winch handle; lie took no
notice at the time, and carried on the j
lis-uil uuu roiino, nil no was noiin-n-ii
by a queer swelling on the hip. Willi a
slight pain, w hich was just enough to
prevent him from quite eujm ing his
usual games with Flop. The trouble in
creased, until be took a day oil' mid
limped to thu hospital. The case was
remarkable, and it was ut last settled
that Jerry should undergo an opera
tion, which happened lo bo of a terri
ble character. Sal could not exactly
understand what bad taken place, hat
she trembled when she saw her mall's
pale, yellowish far- on the pillow in
that grim ward, and sho covered her
eyes with her apron when Flop order
ed his father to come anil havo a game.
Jerry's life was saved, but he was not
good for much in the way of work
when lie came out, and during his
second stay in hospital lie died, and
Sal saw l.iin put away. She sighed a
little when tho man said: "Ccine,
ma'am," for she felt us if she should
stop there; and then she went along
carrving r lop, who ineii lo uraw tier
! into talk. Sal stilled herinoans so as
not to frighten the babbler, uuu she
put him down, when they got clour of
tho vans. She moaned then ; for Jer
ry had been kind, and never hit her,
and she was going to the room where
his pipe niul his clothes lay. All the
evening Sal never spoke but once,
and that wus when the neighbors
tried to comfort her; then she ninde
answer, "It ain't no good talkin', oor
old Jerry's gone, and he was a good
chap, and 1 got to work for tho kid to
morrer." She woko often in the
night, and when she did she patted
Flop's soft legs and whisiered to her
self, "His fathers gone, and 1 got to
go to work to-niorrer."
Sal grew fonder of Flop now, and
she used to tako him with her to the
shed w here she worked.
The. j w as not much money to be
made at the yard, but Sal never missed
ono hour of overtime that could be
fot, so she inndeuptho rout, and man
uged to give Flop (denty of bread and
treacle, and sometimes a half pint of
milk. He wus a sharp little fellow,
and he learned to sort the sawn pieces
of wood, and pitched them into the
baskets with great glee. He thought
it tho best of ull his mother's games.
Then lie learned to chatter; every new
combination of words which ho ue
quired wus an amazing loinauce lo
Sal. and 1 think she must have laugh
cd inwardly, for she used lo repeal
tho amazing stories to the girls in the
shed, and seemed surprised if they
wure not umiised. Tho suit which Snl
gut a friendly 1111101118 to compound
fol Flop was striking in the extreme;
but poor Sal hud several times seen
pretty littlo children of the upi r
class, and she wanted Flop to Is- up to
the mark. "Liko a hloonuu' ruin
Isiw," suid Pinky; and indeed Flop
was very splendid. Sul ll.oiiiil.t the
blue sorgo knickerlxickcrs and green
tunie quite a mutch for a scarlet belt,
and ho reckoned the whole nrrango
menl truly ravishing in general ef
fect. The woman's heart hungered
lifter her little one; bc was silent, bill
her iiuiek postures and the snaky dash
of her head as she kissed him were
quite significant. She could hot bear
him out of her sight, and she implored
the foreman 60 piteously to lit him go
in the tally cabin bv the stove on cold
clnvs. lhat the rouirit fellow agreed.
It was probably the unclean creek
whew the buri?e8 came w ith the tim
licr; lhat niny be so. At any rate. Flop
begon to look strange, and the humor
ous Pinky used to remark: "You're
fiisonin' that kid with sugar, Sal." I
lute prolonged description of chil
dren trouble, so 1 shall only suy that
Flop pined greatly, and his mother
used to staro at him when ho slept,
and wish for something that her mind
could not define Theso iuarticuluU)
folk are sorely put to il when they
want to pray. One of our lisber
women in my own village was once
watching her man and her two lads
trying to beat in against a hard nor'
westerly gale; she wanted, 110 doubt,
to ask for aid. but she sworn in tones
01 inucii cievOutuess. At last, when
the boat was catching it very badly
in the linn! Ilurrv of cross seas, Peggy
shoved her head in a rabbit hole. A
neighbor touched her. Sho said:
"Whist, you blanked improper sub
stantive, Aw's prayin'l" The men
were all drowned, and they came 011
the sands by and by, but the woman
said hot another word. She laid the
lads out herself, uml when I last saw
her I did not ask her views of life.
Well, Sal did not know w hat to do;
she w alked tho Hour night after night,
and on one grav, bad evening a some
thing struck her; she knelt down be
side Fbqi, and lie reached for her.
Then Sal knew what was coining, and
a hand seemed to catch her hand.
Then there was a sound in her throat
as of something breaking, and she
cried, "1'ion't! don't! My pretty! my
pretty I Don't die, don't'l (lb! Ixml,
don't tako him. I'on't lake my littlo
kid! There ain't such another in the
street, lib, Lord! they says bow you
was good to the kids, liou'l take
mine. -My pu tty, my pretty, don't,
don't die!" Hut Flop hail gone w hile
Sal was crying, and s-he hi a candle
and looked at him all night after she
had put him out on a tablecloth.
Then, ut dawn, she went wandering
till the sun came up high, and then
an idea struck her. She entered the
Hash public house and said: "1 see,
sir, you employs a few women nights
for tho extra Jilate wasliin'; hand me
n sovrin' and i ll work i t out that way.
My kid's dead, and I wants to put him
away w hrru I'll know." So the land
lord laughed at the joke, and lent her
the pound. It was worth it to have
such u yarn to tell, be said. And Sal
buried 'Flop, and she will go lo that
grave until she enters the house lo
mopo her life away until the finish.
There is a law of compensation, but,
you see, it didn't save Flop for his
quiet mother, and 1 don't rightly know
where it comes in. a t any optimist

llow much romance hovers around

days of steam pipes, hot air registers,
coal stoves und other modern ways of
heating houses, how nice it seems to
hear somebody tell ubout llie time
when our grandfathers used to sit
around llie lireplace.
(hie side of llie room was burely su
llicient to accommodate a lireplace in
style. They were caverns constructed
of brick and stone, uud it required a
small fin-tune to buy wood enough to
run one. 1 have seen more than one
of them and enjoyed all its beauties,
and know w hereof 1 speak, for there
are live of them in my home.
ll required labor us well 11s skill and
judgment lo build a lire, uud when coin

tory und gi'l the machinery running,
(letting in the back log was u big
thing. 11s it generally look tiie grand
father, one or two boys and the lured
man to do it, while grandmother stood
by and gave a few general orders,
such as: "Mind and not break that
casing!" "Don't let it slip and roll
on little Tomniv!'' "Hold on, (jran
Iher. you'll filch it next lime!"
When llie h g was placed, llie uud
iron set against it was propped back
by smaller slicks of wood, then tiie
coals were stirred up, the forcstick put
on und u basket of chips thrown over

Ill this aga of electrical develop
ment ami mechanical progress this
prosaic hl'c, when the minds of men
are bent to the solution cf the practi
cal problems of daily life it is ro
freshing to glance occasionally ut the
embodied thought of three or four
centuries ugo, when science was in iis
infancy; astronomy wus, as vet, but
ustroloy; chemistry was alchemy;
mechanical invention was black ail
or magic; philosophy was dream und
vision; religion was, on tho one baud,
uutiKTiilie dogma, uml on the other,
unquestioning superstition. Such a
Is'ep into the past is ull'orded by 11 col
lection of Issiks recently placed by
.Mr. lh ..ry Hitchcock in"the Mercan
tile library. It consists of i(t!ti vol
uincs of the works of tho alchemists,
astrologers and other llertueticul phi
losophers of the Middle Ages, gathered
by lien. Ktlniii A. Hitchcock while
pursuing the studies which resulted in
bis "Ki niaiks on Alchemy and llie
Alchemists," and other kindred works.
The editions are chielly of the Seven
teenlh and the earlv half of the Fight
centh centuries, although some arc
much older, many of them being man
uscripts never printed, ouo of which
beat's date 1 120, whilo others range
from l.Vi7 to 1.V.I7.
Hero is tho Divine Pymauiler of
Hermes Trismegistiis (the thrice great
god Mcrrurv of the F.gvptiuns), (he
father of Hermetic philosophy, and
whose w ritings are claimed lo anlo
tlatethoseof Moses; hercisa volume
of tho learned Alhertus Magnus, 11113
12S0; Friar Koger Paeon, U'14-ll'H4,
is well represented; wo havo Gcbir's
"Sun of Perfection," translated from
tho Arabic of the Eighth century the
oldest hook on chemistry proper in
the world. Raymond Lully (or
Lulle) is here, whose lifo was one long
romance, ending ill his being stoned
to death (llll.l), a martyr to his Chris
tian zeal. Hero wo have Friar Basil
Valentino (period uncertain), whose
writings, legend says, wero long con
cealed in apillar.which heaven, at last,
in mercy to the human race, shuttered
by a thunderbolt, thus giving to man
kind the philosophic treasures; Para
celsus (l-l'JU-1541), the forerunner of
modern empiricists, a violent man in
a violent age, who died of a broken
neck w hen pitched out of a window
by his irate medical rivals, with a
host of the greater and lesser lights of
ulcheinical literature. Hero tho mod

Hero tlio curious may decido by an
inspection of original production!
whether tho alchemists were sordid
seekers after tho art of transmuting tin
baser metals into gold and of prolong
ing the life on earth beyond the allot
nient uf nature, or whether they wen
puro und profound philosophers,

and concealing their discoveries from
the ignorance of tho vulgar and the
lynx eyed hierurchsof the Inquisition
under parable and myth; using such
forms us sulphur, mercury and salt,
tho philosopher's stone, the alcahrst,
virgin's milk, rial bridegrooms, lily
brides, ruby lions, sol, luna, etc., only
to veil the loftv mysteries of mun, ol
the body and tlio soul, of conscience
und purity, of the Spirit of God, and
tho exultation of tho human mind and
