WHEN I MEET MY YOUTH AGAIN
Some time I know not how or when
This weary road I-journey on
Will lead thro' lands that I have
known.
And I shall meet my youth again.
Thro' some old wood my childhood
knew .
The road, at length, will bring to view
A cottage in a lowly glen.
Where I shall meet my youth again.
And yet the lad of whom I dream
May know me not, for I shall be
To him a deep'ning mystery
Of things that are and things that seem;
From these old scars of time and toil
His heart, albeit, may recoil.
As children's often do from men,
, When I shall meet my youth again.
But he shall know me at the last.
And ceep into my arms and weep
As I shall lull his lids to sleep
With stories of tbe changes past;
And ere the morning breaks upon
Ui twain our s uls shall be as one
And time shall breathe a soft "amen" -Warn
I shall meet my youth again.

HIS tffi&E'S BOX,
r
" Also to my nephew, Oliver Brlnton,
the square Iron box to my study. On each
anniversary pf my death he Is to open the
box and act as circumstances shall direct.
As he shall carry out these my instruc
tions, may .God prosper him.'' ' " '!
. Vfo all agreed that this was a verysingu
lar clause of our late uncle's will He had
not been the kind of a man to cherish a
secret, and mystery was quite the. last
thing you would suspect him of. - - - -
When our mother died, we had not a- re
lation In the world save him. , He took
Horace and me home with him after the
funeral, and henceforth our home was. at
Wildoliff HalL
It was a quaint, old fashioned country
house, with beautiful grounds, shrubberies
and woods that made summer a delight. .
It was a happy life we led. Horace
would come over at the week's end from
Slelghford and stay until Monday. :-; i -v
Our uncle's death came upon ns as a
great shook. We were not In any way pre
pared for its. His health was always robust, -and
he was what is described as a well pre
served man. v.-' :J , " '.!;.-' '
While dressing one morning he was
seized with an apoplectic fit, and ere help
could be summoned he expired, We laid
him to rest beneath an immemorial yew
in a quiet comer of Wildcliff churchyard. .
- When, the will was readV it was found
that ample provision was made both for
Horace and myself. - Then occurred the
puzzling clause which gave us much food
for thought. ! . - -" '' ".?,
The months chased each other swiftly,
and it was the day when I must carry out
the dead man's instructions.: '
I inserted the key into each look and
flung the lid back. Inside the outer lid
there was placed a cork shell, forming, as
a matter of fact, an inner box of cork, ,r
,- Summoning resolution;.. with a: swift
movement I threw back the cork lid and
looked In. With a cry I fell back a step,
for there lay, in all its shriveled hideous
ness, a severed human hand.
As I looked intently into the box, to my
horror the hand moved, assuming the at
titude of writing, the fingers foreshorten
ing and the knuckles rising. Slowly, with
the utmost deliberation,' it wrote.
The writing, was large, round and: in
tensely black, showing vividly against its
light background of cork.!
Every letter branded Itself on my brain
as I read these wordsi .
"Oliver, y- dear nephew, I loved a
woman once. I love her still. She could
not marry me. She married, another.
While in life I believed that she was dead.
She lives widowed and ' poverty stricken
with her only child. Her name Is Ethel
Elston, and they live at Dalton, 80 miles
south of Wildcliff. Go to them, relieve '
their necessities and do as you know I
would wish you to do. Farewell."
The next morning found me In the town
of Dalton, bent on carrying out my in
structions. I made many fruitless in
quiries for Mrs. Elston, but no one seemed
to know anything about such a person.
I began to doubt the accuracy of my su
pernatural directions, when by a happy ac
cident I chanced upon the house I was
looking for. , .'
There was no answer to my. knock. An
air of abject poverty hung about the place.
The panels of the . door were. rotten and
worm eaten, giving glimpses .of the in
terior. I pushed the door open and entered. For
a moment or two I could discern nothing.
Gradually objects resolved themselves out
of their surrounding gloom, and 1 saw a
woman lying on a wretched couch, and be
side her, holding her hand, a girl of about
18 or SO.
I made a slight noise to attract atten
tion, and the girl turned her head toward
me.
She looked inquiringly at mo out of her
large, dark eyes, and I advanced cautious
ly, so as not to disturb the woman, whom
I now perceived to be asleep. .
Whispering that I was a friend who had
been sent to help them, I went out and
brought back with me a doctor. .' -
Before evening Agnes that was the
girl's name and I had transformed the
miserable little apartment' into some ap
pearance of comfort. k
I engaged a nurse and made every ar
rangement for Mrs. Elston's comfort and
for that of her daughter. .
Before X left the latter and I had a long
talk. Agnes told me the story of their
lives with a simplicity and modesty which
won my heart.
Her father had been dead many years.
Indeed her parents' married life was brief.
Mrs. Elston was left with a small income
sufficient for their requirements. Agnes
was well educated, and their lives were
tranquil and uneventful
Then disaster came. : Two years ago
they lost their money through a defaulting
trustee. The struggle for existence was
stern and bitter, and not seldom the bare
necessities of life were wanting.
Mrs. Elston did not recover conscioua
ness and passed away a day or two later,
carrying with her all that I might hope to
know of the early days wherein James
Jamieson had loved and lost her.
'
Eighteen months have elapsed. Agnes
Elston Is my wife. Mutual sympathy has
grown to mutual love, and the future
looks fair beyond all promise. j
On the second anniversary of my uncle's
peath I stood once more before the black
box, thinking of all that happened in the
past year. -
To the best of my ability I had carried
out the instructions so marvelously con
veyed. Sustained with this knowledge,
I threw back the cork lid with a complete
absence of fear.

Dinner above everything illustrates the
conquest of tHo savage. . . But dinner as
'served 60 or 70 years ago presented points'
in which the conquest was incomplete.
Thus men had to carve the food on the ta
ble. This led to shame and misery and the
exposure of incompetence. ' Besides it left
the door wide open for talking about food.
Moreover, though men no longer ate as
much as they could, they still drank as
much as they oould, i
In illustration Of this History, can any
one tell me, asks Walter Besant in the
London Queon, first, -when the custom of
putting the wine glasses, reversed, in wa
ter glasses was abolished? Some one, I
take it, was struck with the uselessness
and the cumbrousness of the custom and
boldly swept it away. ! Second, when were
people first paired off f Formerly the host-
took the principal lady, ana tne rest ioi
lowed as they chose.! Third, when, were
the names of the guests written on cards
in their places? Fourth, when was dinner
first carved off the table? It was some time
in the sixties. ; The dinner so served was
called, if I remember', rightly, dinner a la
Busser and there was a great deal of oppo
sition to it. But common sense and handl-
ness prevailed. : -
Mv corresDondent informs me a thing
which I did not know that when dinner
Was all out on the table at once there used
to be a set number of dishes, according to
the number of guests-re. g., 8 to 12 guests;.
hence the expression,! "Go vers were laid
for so many." The "covers" were the cov
ered dishes. And, she adds, when we speak
of ladles taking four' glasses after dinner
we must remember that the glasses were
very tiny. Big' glasses, she thinks, came
in with the temperance movement, so that
a man could declare honestly that he had
taken only three glasses. - Jferhaps tne
temperance movement has much to answer
for. I am reminded of a certain under-
erraduate in ancient days. He was in train-
ins- for the boat races, i Like the rest ot the
crew,' he was put on an allowance of one
glass of port a day. The day before the
race it was discovered that he had craftily
caused to be made a wine glass which held
a pint and a half. And to this single glass
he rigidly confined nlmfieir.
CHINESE CARVINGS.
Artistic Ornaments Cut Out of Nnts and
Tiny JTruit Stones. - f a
The most' curious objects which are
made subjects of the carver's art in China
are the various nuts and fruit stones.
Among the latter class may be named the
stones of the olive, plum, peach, cherry,
and of the former the most common ore
madeupon the shells of walnuts and cocoa
nuts. These seeds and nuts are collected
with ereat care and carefully cleaned and
dried before being taken to the carver, who
has on Invariable standard of size, propor
tion, weight, hardness, etc. When every
detail has been carried out to the satisfac
tion of the artist, a nut or seed Is selected
by the designer, who roughly traces upon
its surface an outline of the future picture.'
This is handed over to apprentices, -who
block out the design by cutting througn
the ligenous tissue along the lines drawn.
The crude carving is again passed to the
designer, who sketches a second and more
intricate series of outlines, when it again
goes forward to the subordinates, who cut
out the indicated ftnAnnrfn. After this the
designer ' gives the object Its finishing
touches, and the assistants prepare it for
market by polishing, oiling and waxing
the carvings. . These nut' and fruit 6tone
carvings are shown in the shape of buttons, "
watch charms, sleeve links, earrings and
brooches. Collections of them strung on
6ilver, copper or gold wire are also used as
bracelets, anklets, necklaces, rosaries and
official ornaments. I , i
The carvings represented upon these seed
and nut ornaments are frequently of a
-very high order of conception and display
much of tho carver's cleverness and dex
;terity. The writer has seen single cherry '
seeds upon which were plainly and artis
tically outlined a dragon, two crickets, a
cornflower and a bunch of grapes. On tne
larger seeds and nuts are represented en
tire trees and their fruits and leaves, vines
with leaves, flowers and vegetables attaoh-
,ed, as well as buildings, bridges, towers.

of the north wind, never went out of doors
so long as it lasted. He had a weathercock

which way the wind blew. In due course
the north wind set in, and he at once shut
himself up. Every morning he looked out
at the weathercock, but no change had oo-

the thing with a high hand, pulled a glove

meaning of the action. When it was ex

Wanted, a Curate.
The rector of a hundred years ago had
somewhat peculiar ideas as to the qualifi
cations of a curate, if one may judge from
the following curious advertisement, which
appeared in The St. James Chroniclo of
May 4, 1795: - I V. v
" Wanted Immediately, a good, strong:.
bony man to act in the capacity of curate.
He must be subject to the following par
ticulars -viz, to have no objection to act
as gardener, husbandman and occasional
whipper in. - Any gent, whom the above
may suit, on application to Mr. B., at the
Gray's Inn Coffee House, Holborn, may !
meet with immediate employ. N. B.
Character will not be so much required as
equestrian skill, and none need apply who
nas not unuergone a complete staDaianan
(sic) education." ! ' .

ed more for use than ornament. It is of

Cyril Danvers was bidding her goodby
in the garden. '
"Well, it has been a pleasant jnontn;

desperate feeling that he must say some
thing at all hazards. - - x.; -
" Yea, '? Elaine assented dreamily, " very

with a rapt, faraway expression. -':'--i

thinking last night, and I well, I came
to the conclusion that that things were

to a tenderly regretrul tone. "Are you

with an enigmatical expression. Then,
No. she said. "Iam glad, because uyou
did not go I should have to, and I want to
stay a little longer.'.'
And then she laugnea. -
To saythat fJyrilwas surprised would
be to put things with ridiculous mildness.
Elaine laughed again.
You did not expect me to say that, did '
youf she asked." -
JSO,!" ne answered, drawing a long, oeep
breath. ' ' - - V - -. - - ' '
"You expected me to be overwhelmed
with utter desolation at the prospect of
your going, didn't you? - Well, perhaps I
might have been, only, you see, 1 snau
still have the tennis and the boating and
the fishing and the one thing and another
to console me after you are gone, and I
am easily consoled."-- ''- - r :
Cyrix said nothing. He only stared at
her helplessly, wondering if she had taken
sudden; leave of her senses. " .
Elaine saw the look and read it aright. -"I
am quite sane," she asserted, nod
ding her fair head with great gravity and
decision. "As sane as you are saner, per
haps. " Then, all at once, she dropped her
bantering tone. "Now, let us talk sense, "
she went on; "let us understand one an
other.'' -, - :
I wish I could understand you," said
Cyril, with a dazed, uncomfortable sort of
feeling that something had suddenly gone
wrong with the laws of the universe.
Elaine nodded again. .
"You will in half a minute," she said.
"Now listen to me. I am going to state
two facts. Fact number one you are tired
of me. I Fact number two I am tired of
you. That's the case in a nutshell."
Cyril thrust his hands in his pockets and
became suddenly and deeply interested in
his irreproachable boots. -
By Jove!" was all ne said.
I am tired of you," she repeated.
"Don'ti get cross. I am not rude, only
truthful. I am stating a fact. It Is my
nature. I I always get tired of men in the
end. 1 It Is only a question of time. . Most
things in this life are, I think. '
Men," she went on reflectively, "charm
yon up to a given point, and pall upon you
afterward. There is a great sameness about
them." -
" Cyril started, as well he might. It was
somewhat of a poser to hear his own in
most thoughts and sentiments put into
words in this calm fashion. How often had
not he thought just what she had said,
with the slight difference of substituting
the noun feminine far the noun mascu
linel "You speak," he said sarcastically,
"from experience, no doubt"
- She looked at him serenely.
"Yes," she answered, "I do. I know
men pretty thoroughly now, which is a
great achievement, and I know myself, too
which is a still greater achievement,
though you may not think so. It is always
the same. So long as I am not sure of a man
so long I want to be sure of him. But the
moment I am sure of him in that mo
ment I cease to want him. I never felt
sure of you until last night. Until then
you had always eluded me, and I could
not tell if yoa were in earnest or not, but
last night you showed me that you loved.
me for the moment and that was the
end! so far as I was concerned." She
paused. "I showed you that I loved you,
too for the moment, "she added present
ly, "and that was the end as far as you
were concerned. Last night was the cli
max, and after the climax to people like
you and me comes the reaction. "
, Once more she paused. .
I "By Jove!" said Cyril again.
He could not think of anything else to
say.! , - .,
Truth to tell, he felt . distinctively
mall, and that is a feeling that does not
conduce to a man's general good humor at
any time. He was beaten at his own
same and vanquished with his own weap
ons. The . situation was a novel one, but
it lacked the charm that novelty Is com
monly supposed to .possess. This girl,
with her angel face and Innocent eyes, was
not the
simple, trusting maiden ' that he
had believed, but a very queen of coquettes,
a flirt of a different and more dangerous
caliber than any he had met before. Life
had its illusions and its disillusions.
"Don't be cross," said Elaine in a per
suasive tone. "Don't bear malice. Shake
hands and be friends. I shouldn't have
talked to you like this only that I know
you are just like me. I don't know how
I know it, but I do. Instinct, I suppose
' woman's safest guide. I didn't know
it until tonight. It came upon me all at
jOnoe. My convictions generally do.
know you feel just as I feel and think as I
think. I know you wanted me until you
thought you could have me, and then you
didn't want me any longer. Now confess.

Cyril took the little hand held out to
him and prepared to put as good a face as
he could upon the matter. It seemed the
best thing to da
! '.'Perhaps you are," he said. "Anyway,
I shan't contradict you. It's rude to con
tradict a ladv. isnt itf
I He looked down, and she looked up.
Their eyes met. A moment later the fields
were ringing with their laughter.
t "Oh," said Elaine as soon as she could
speak, "it's a clean case of diamond cut

"'.v:Bjr Telegraph to the Morning Star.' : , ;
San Francisco. June! i. The Ex
aminer publishes this morning the' iot-
owinz from its correspondent at Mazit-
lan, dated May 81, via Galveston: v
The steamer San Juan bas 'arrived
here with twenty- one passengers picked
up on Tuesday from the wreck of the
steamer Colima. .From the passengera
your correspondent has learned of the
particulars of the dreadful disaster which
they say happened on Monday at noon,
when the Colima was about forty-eight
miles : out of- Manzanillo and tea off
shore. -1 All of those who were rescued
are badly bruisedr They were ail picked
up A from pieces of wreckage; and
raits, witn tne exception or a. j. soutn
erland, who had clung to a boat after it
had-capsized five times and drowned all
the others who attempted to escape from
the wreck in her, All afloat were lashed
bv the fiercest gale of years and buffeted
by the angry seas for 24 hours. ?
The steamer was neaviry laden ana
had a large deck load of lumber.: ' When
the : storm struck , her she made, bad
weather of it, the captain having great
difficulty ia keeping her head to the sea.
The wind increased in fury until ; it is
said to have been, the 1 fiercest storm
known along this coast in twenty yearsT
The sea rose rapidly. , water was head
over , the vessel and started, the deck
load. As the waves rose and the storm
increased the management of the steamer
became impossible.: One of the seas, a
mighty wave, struck her with such force
that the beams trembled; as if she bad
struck on a reef and most of the passen
gers tnoueht this the cause ot the shock.
The passengers were pretty badly
stunned bv being pitched - about, but
rushed up on the deck in a panic Here
they met another danger.) i
The gale tore parts of the deck load
of lumber,' from the fastenings and
whirled the heavy planks about with ap
palling violence. Many were struck and
maimed. At least one passenger; was
killed by having his bead crushed . by
f ying timbers. The survivors say that
the officers of the steamer were brave
and active in this crisis. I Captain Tay
lor stood upon the bridge with Jthe chief
omcer, urimths. Un an order (jrimths
ran forward to superintend the launch
ing of lile-boat No. 5, while Second Offi
cer Langhorn was in charge of boat No.
3. The latter was successfully launched
and filled with passengers. Then the
hip went down and Langhorn 's boat
was capsized. All in both boats are sup
posed to have perished. I r i
Capt. Taylor went down with the ves
sel and as the vessel sank, he blew three
blasts of the whistle as a good-bye sig
nal. The engineers and; firemen went
down at their posts. Night Clerk Berry
was in bis room and went down with
the vessel. Third officer Hanson: was
among the saved. . He sprang from the
snip as it went down and succeeded in
reaching a piece of wreckage. There be
clung for twenty-four hours, washed and
buffeted bv the waves. He saw men and
women sink about bim and was power
less to render aid. He saw naked and
mangled bodies tossing by and the hor
ror of it made him sick. Hanson says
that as the ateatner foundered her
