THE OLD HOUSE.
Spassed to-night the old house standing lone
ly,
The windows closed, the rooms all dark and
drear,
The porch deserted, where, my love, together
We sat in the old sweet days with no one
near.
The autumn night wind bitterly was blowing,
The old trees on the roof their branches
trailed;
The long grass in the yard was waving sadly,
The tall white pillars in toon moonlight paled
Ah! love, like that old house, my heart is lone
ly,
Since those glad times it has been closed and
cold.
Sweet memories now long dead are buried in
it.
Old thoughts, old longings I have never told.
But here to-night, with this old house before
me,
There comes to me. a fancy strange and
sweet:
Suppose those darksome rooms once more
were opened.
And light and life and love again might meet.
How joyous would the old house ring with
laughter,
How gay the scene with youth and beauty
bright;
And though outside the autumn wind Is sigh
ing,
The hearts within are beating gay and light.
So if to me you ever should return, love,
Then you would open my drear heart again,
And with the light of your sweet presence near
me,
My life would smile, forgetting years of pain.

IIE-NEVER I
see workmen
on the tops of
high places or on the frail-looking
scaffolds often insecurely erected on
new buildings a shiver runs through
me, for it calls to mind an adventure I
once had which nearly caused my
death.
So awful is the remembmrance to me
that not for all the gold in the world
would I mount one of their long lad
ders and stand, as I have seen themdo,
on merely the two-foot top ledge of a
lofty brick wall and gaze coolly down
on the hard pavements, a hundred or
more feet below.
As for going up in alballoon, the very
thought makes me feel faint and sends
a chill down my backbone.
I also avoid looking from the higher
windows in the immense sky-scraping
structures now rapidly filling our
cities. for the fascination I then have to
jump out and down is too strong to
trifle with.
Even the birds soaring high in the
air make me feel uncomfortable, and
the circus with its trapeze performers
is barred from my list of pleasures.
All this calne about because I, when
a boy, ventured a climbing feat which,
as I have said, well-nigh put an early
end to my existetnc.e.
I was, maybe, a dozen years old at
the time, as agile as a wild monkey,
and too thoughtless to know what
danger meant.
A large church was in course of erec
tion near our )Jouse. and its very tall
wooden steeple was being topped with
a huge ball surmounted with a cross
The carpenter work was all done
and the scaffolding was left for the
paintersato finish and to gild the ball
and cross.
As far as the belfrey in the steeple
the scaffolding went; then narrow
slats na.led across one of the octagon
sides formed a sort of ladder to reaci
its highest point, the slats growing
smaller as they rose, until, coming to
the ball, they changed to a rude.
rounded arrangement following the
shape of the ball and under and over it
to the cross.
'te boys found this daily growing
uh-trch it fine play ground, and after
school used to congregate there to
watch the workmen, p&rticularly when
they were risking their lives and look
ing no bigger thanidwarfs upon the
steeple. "
It was, indeed. a circus to us. and the
sight of the men way, way up on the
cross thrilled us with a queer delight.
One holiday, when the men were not
working, we were there as usual, gaz
ing upward and eagerly discussing the
matter until one of us proposed seeing
how' hard or how easy it was by
climbing up ourselves.
None but boys, of course, would
think of, let alone attempt. such a
hazardous feat, and so, after a few
"dares," up the scaffolding and long
outside ladder to the roof we started. I
leading the rest.
WVe all safely gained the edge of the
Ssloping roof and sat there awhile to re
connoitre. The steeple didn't look so
high as from the street, and there was
a ladder lying on the roof to where the
tower began.
On that we crawled nme after un
other andti then stopped again to get
our breath before th ? next mount.
Some of the lads now began to be a
little scared at the prospect before
them, anid in spite of the more daring
ones' ridicule and loud assertions that
we wouldn't fall they wisely concluded
to go no further for the present and
then carefully picked their way back
to the roofs edge and thence down to
the street, from where they stood in a
group watching with frightened faces
the four of us who remainedl.
- u;etting up to the top of the shaky
single plank scaffolding at the steeple'hs
base was an easy matter, and when
we got there we waved our hats and
'gayly shouted to our comrades below
and laughed at their replies for us to
comae down.
While doing that a piece of board
knocked off by our feet fell to the
roof, anti, sliding fast and faster to
the edge, tbountied off and struck the
p.aement with such forte that it spliUn
tycJ£
This caused two more of my ¢erd
panions to weaken, and without say
ing a word they, after slipping once or
twice in their anxiety to reach solid
ground, managed to climb down and
join the group on the street, which had
been increased by passing people stop
ping to watch our proceedings
Filled with the foolish bravado of
showing off to the audience below, I
led the ascent up the steeple.
The slats, nailed there for men to
climb on, were pretty far apart for lit
tle boys' legs, and we, too, soon found
the task not so easy as it looked. Br',
impelled by the desire for admiration
and thinking what a hero I would be
when the feat was accomplished I kept
on and upward until, after the hardest
of efforts, I found myself on the top
most slat just underneath the sloping
outward ball.
There I clung to rest and see how far
my cq.spanion had got.
To my surprise he, too, had shown
the white feather and left me, and I
saw him just disappearing over the
the root's edge.
Instead of his desertion making me
frightened it served to rouse my de
termination to go still higher, and
without looking down again, for it was
setting me dizzy, I started to surmount
the ball and reach the cross above it.
Climbing inside the rounding ladder,
then crawling between the slats and
climbing outside, but never looking
down while I did it, I pulled myself up
slowly and with much difficulty until,
to my delight. I sat on the great ball
with my little legs on either side of the
huge cross, clinging to it tightly with
one arm and waving my hat with the
other to the spell-bound crowd in the
street below-looking no bigger than
ints.
For some minutes I enjoyed my tri
omph, and gazed around at the mag
nificent view without a thought of
danger.
To show off a little more I fired my
cap at my startled audience, and
watched it, borne on the wind, descend
till it struck the ground.
Then I thought it wastime for me to
follow.
Clutching the ladder slats I com
menced. but getting to the edge of the
ball, I discovered the well-known fact
that it is a great deal easier to climb up
than to get down. I was utterly stuck.
I made several attempts to get under or
over, but I didn't know how or where
to place my feet. Each time I felt for
a resting spot I found none to stamd
on, and after several hair-breadth es
capes from slipping and falling, which
brought a cold sweat all over me, had
to give up and crawl back to my seat,
and there, twisting my legs and arms
around the cross, hung on.
I then fully realized my awful peril
and bhecame terribly frightened.
I felt weak and sick. My head began
to swim and groiw so dizzy that things
turned black to my eyes. I heard from
below shouts of encouragement and
murmurs of despair, and above all I
heard a scream which I recognized as
my mother's voice.
But I shut my eyes and hung to the
cross, expecting each instant to lose
my hold and dash on the stones hun
" IAANG ON, YOt I.1TTI.E I AT."
dreds of feet down. At last, completely
overcome with fear and terror, my
streng th left me, m" arms loosened
their grip and I knew I was fainting
and in a moment must perish.
Just then a strong voice sounded close
to me and a man's head showed itself
above the side of the ball where the
ladder was. "hang on, you little rat,"
it said, "or it'll whip you tdoan inch of
your life." The angry tone scared me
so that, forgetting my danger and even
where I was, I hung on lihks a good
fellow.
More afraid of the punishment than
of falling, I let my rescuer fasten a
rope under my arms. and. meekly obey
ing his stern command, allowed him to
lift and lower me to another man on the
slat laddler beneath the ball and then
be helped down the steeple slats and
the scaffolds and the roof to the street.
There, after my distracted mother had
embraced me, I got from my father
the soundest thrashing I knew before
or since.
I deserved all andl more than I got.
but as a preventive for future climbing
exploits it was entirely unnecessary.
The remembrance of mlly terror on tile
steeple top keepsme forever on the safe
and solid ground.
And the memory is ever refreshed lby
horrid nightmares, in which I have the
terrible sensation of falling from high
places, but, luckily. I waken just before

says the Key West Equator-Democrat.
About four p. m. one of them found his

foot shark was landed. Assistance was
secured, and his sharkship was carried
by main force around the breakwater
and hauled on shore. His stomach con

-A new article of fuel was utilized
by the steamer Dunedin., on a recent

so hard In f few years that it require.l

TABLE DECORATION.
Thire Vies of SlksI and Linens-Oscar Wilde's
Love of Green.
Separate center cloths of linen with
decoration more or less elaborate in
fine needlework and drawn work are
still well used. The favorite design for
the center used at the ladies' lunch,
that apotheosis of daintiness in table
festivals, is in Dresden work. The tiny
flower sprays, like those on the china,
scattered carelessly all over the piece
require great skill in manipulation and
execution and faultless taste in their
color combinations.
These sprays are often copied from
old Dresden bits by ladies clever in
drawing their own designs and in shad
ing the silks with which the designs are
carried out.
Centers of heavy linen are very effect
ive for dinners when couched with gold
and with the background fish-scaled
with white silk. The couching is of the
heavy Japanese wash goltl, which has
on the silken background the effect of
gold brocade. The hem is simply hem
stitched, or may be finished with a fall
of lace. hleavy or fine sheer linens,
sateens, silk and bolting cloth are all
used in the centers, and newer than
either of these is a silk material called
"mail cloth," which is specially adapted
to center pieces because it is woven so
like huckalbuk that darning it is a
simple matter. It is decorated with a
bold design. eitlher outlined or couched,
a favorite color combination for which
is delicate green and white. Another
popu'ar anti pleasing center cloth de
coration is that copied after the old
French fancies, where garlands or
sprays of many colored flowers are
caught and tied with hows of ribbon in
delicate blue or green or yellow.
It was Oscar Wilde who first taught
the unfeeling Gentile soul that the love
rof green was typical of the subtle
artistic temperature. And now green
is one of the leading tints in household
ind table adornment. The ,dintiest,
freshest of bIolttirs are titted out in
