THREE TRAVELERS.

Three trnyelera met in Brnnder Pass ,
By the bubbling Brander SpriuKs ;
They almrcd their cake and their venison ,
And they talked o : inaijy a thiiip
Of books , of boii s uiul foreign lands ,
Ofatrnngennd ivunderinK lives ,
And by and by , in softer tones.
They spoke o ( their homes and wives.
"I married the Lndy.o' Lopan Brne , "
Said one , with a lofty air ;
"There isna in a' the North countreo
A house with a better nhuro . / y
Of cold and gear , nnd hill nnd lock , . "
Of honses and farms to rent ; ,
Tharo'fl many a man has eovted me
And I'm mair and weel content.
'Dream of a woman as bright as day. "
The second traveler suid. *
'Dream of a form of perfect grace ,
Of a noblo face and head.
Of eyes that are as blue as Heaven ,
01 flowing nut-brown hair ;
That is ray wife , and , though not rich ,
Oh , she is wondrous fuir ! " , . , ' . >
The third one said : "I have a wife , • " *
She is neither rich nor fair ;
She has not gold , nor gear , nor land ,
Nor wealth of nut-brown hair ;
But. oh ! f he loves mel and her love
Has stood through every test.
Beauty and gold are good , but , friends ,
Wo know that love is best.
They filled .their cups in the spring again ,
And they suid , right heartily :
'flpre to the loving , faithful wife ,
Wherever her home may be ! "
And soon they took their different ways ,
One thought in each man's breast ;
"Beauty is good , and gold in good ,
But a true love is the best. "

OAPT. IMG'S PASSENGER.
J J jHATE the sea. For
certain reasons , howZ
ever , I am compelled
! periodically to crossj
the Atlantic , and on
the first occasion I
had a letter of intro-
fcgia Ea l duction to good Cap-
tain Long.
"We shook hands , the screw began
to move and I rushed off to my cab-
in , where I remained throughout the
vovasre. I believe he came to see me
"
often in my misery. "Visiting the sick"r
at sea is a much more unpleasant ,
thing than on shore , remember , that 1
I didn't know , and I didn't care. 1
saw him to know him again at
New York ; and in short , though , on
board i his ship , he might have been
its rudder for all I saw of him. AVo
met on shore both in the Now and
Old World pretty frequently.
"It was five or six years ago , " said
he one day , "and in the summer
time , that the ship was making her
voyage out , and a very good voy-
apre. The whole wav the sea had
been like a duck-pond. "
Here I shook my head incredulous-
ly. I had seen the Atlantic in the.
condition ' referred to and felt it.
"Well , I should not perhaps have
said 'the whole way , ' " he admitted
with a smile , "for when we were
about a hundred miles from port we
met with a breeze because we
picked up a little sailing boat with
only one man in her , who had been
blown out to sea , and whom we took
onboard. About half an hour after
that incident I was informed that
one of the passengers wished to
speak with me in private upon a very
important matter. Accordingly he
came to me a commonplace looking
man , whom I had scarcely noticed
as being on board ; indeed , he was
insignificant enough in every way
save for the expression of his face ,
which certainly exhibited the most
intense anxiety and distress of mind.
Of course I thought he had been
drinking , and in faefc was on the
verge of the 'jumps , ' which is what
the Yankees term rdelirium tremens. '
" 'Well , mj' man , what is it ? ' said
I , severely , I have no time to throw
away. '
" 'That is true , captain , ' he an1
swered , in a thin , quavering voice
and with a strong American accent ;
'but your time will be even shorter
than you imagine unless you listen
to what I have to say to you. You
will never see New York , and much
less make it , unlessyou areprepaired
to act on the information I am
about to give you. Neglect it , and
your ship will be at the bottom of
the sea in' he looked at his watch
yes , exactly an hour and a half. '
" 'All right , my man , ' said I. 'You
may go. I'll send the ship's doctor
to look at you , ' for of course I
thought he was wandering in his
wirs.
"Then what had seemed like anxie-
ty in his face became mortal fear
genuine abject terror , such as no act-
or could have imitated. He threw
himself upon his knees , and clasping
h"s hands together , besought me not
to treat his words with incredulity ,
" 'Then why , sir , ' I replied , do you
talk such nonsense about my ship ? "
"Because it's true captainhe
groaned. 'There's dynamito on
board and clock work machinery con
nected with it. As I am a living man
if the thing is not at once looked to ,
the ship and all on board of her will
be blown to atoms within the time I 1
have mentioned. ' <
" Good heavens , man , tell me all , " <
I cried , 'and quickly. ' 1
" 'Nay , but I daren't and I can't , ' 1
he pleaded , 'unless I have your soli
eran promise that you will not betray <
me. ' t
' "Well , I promise. Now , where is '
this dynamite ? * " t
" 'One moment , - captain ; there i8 <
time , and to spare , now , since you 1
have listened to reason , and I must * \
prove to you that , though I once t
hearkened to the whisper of the dev- <

fl \ , I repented and would have undone
the mischief if I could. Tho ship Is
insured inLondo nevermind where
or how for a large sum and I havo
been . employed to sink her. 1 brought-
the machinery , set to this very day
( | for you have made the voyage quick
er than was thought possible ) , down
to Liverpool , inn.small portmanteau
which was sent on board tho night
. before ] she sailed , It was a stipula-
tion that I should sail with jrou to
see that nothing interfered with tle
execution of the plnn. But I swear
to you no sooner did I touch the
deck than I repented. '
" 'Come at once , you scoundrel ,
cried , I , 'and identify this horrible
thing. '
"I set twenty men to work immedi
ately to bring up the luggage on the
deck , which , since we had not even
sighted land , astonished them not a
J little.
" 'Quick , quick , mv good fellows ;
there will be extra grog for you , ' I
said , 'if you turn the things-out with
in j . the hour. That dreadful portman
teau , as it happened , was at the very
bottom of all a mangy , ill-look
ing j thing enough , and , though small ,
as heavy as lead. Now just throw
that 1 overboard , my fine fellow , ' said
.X , 'will you be careful not to knock it
ngninst the bulwarks. '
"Now that all was s.ife , as I
thought < , I called the fellow into my
! cabin. 'Look here , ' snid I , 'j'ou
unmitigated thief aad viili-in , there's
one point in your story that wants
clearing up. Your life is not very-
valuable , it is true , but I dare say
you Z yourself put a fancy price upon
it , and that being so , how could you
take personal charge of a machine
that , according to your statements ,
was to blow us all to splinters ?
How comes it , I mean , that you was
on board with it yourself ? '
" 'Well , captain , ' he replied , 'you
see I am a poor man , and the money
was a good round sum. and asl told
you , my employer insisted on my
going to see that the thing was going
right J with my own eyes ; there was a
risk of course , but the fact is that
arrangements had been made for
meeting me in this very latitude.
The man in the boat whom you took
on board was on the lookout for me
off < the ship. '
. "When we were still some way
from the harbor we were met by a
pclice boat , the chief officer of which
demanded to be taken on board to
speak with me.
• ' 'Hullo ! ' I said , when we were in
the cabin together ; 'no extradition
business ] , I hope. There is no muri
dering < Englishmen among my pas-
sengers , is there ? "
" 'Well , no , ' he answered ; 'but I've
reason : to believe there is a citizen of
the 1 United States who would neither
stick * at murder nor anything else. '
"Then I thought of the dynamito ,
of course , and I rejoiced that the
villian had been discovered without
any j betrayal of his secret on my
part. ]
" 'You have a warrant for hie ap
prehension I conclude ? '
" 'Well , no , captain , that is just
my 1 difficulty , fori don't know just
which man it is ; but I've an order to
search the luggage. Information has
come ( by wire that a whole outfit for
forging j American bank-notes is be
ing imported by your ship. It will
not j be down below , of course , but in
the man's personal luggage in his
cabin. ( '
"I smelt a rat at once and I dare
say looked pretty blank and bam
boozled. 1
" 'According to my instructions , '
continued < the officer , 'the plant is
contained < in a portmanteau of bul
lock's ] hide , with brass nails around
the rim and easily recognizable. '
"Of course the officer • didn't find
that 1 portmanteau among the 'per
sonal luggage , ' though I am bound
to 1 say he looked for it very carefully
and ; scandalized some of my saloon
passengers ] not a little by his un
welcome attentions ; nor was it
among j the larger articles , though
they 1 all lay exposed on the decks as
if j for his especial behoof and conven
ience. j His impression was , he said ,
that 1 his 'information' had been in
correct and that the bullock's-hide
portmanteau ] must be coining over
on ( the next ship , which , I said , was
possible ] , because everything is pos
sible j , .you know , though I own 1 did
not ] think it very probable.
"As to the owner of the article in
question < , he kept out of my way and
slipped 1 out of the ship on the first
opportunity. < His story was so far
true 1 that he intended to keep the
things 1 in his cabin to be got quietly
on < shore , only the steward had ob
jected j and caused it to be taken be
low. ] That information had been
telegraphed 1 from England to the
New York police was known to his
confederate < who had come out to
warn him , and they would no doubfc
have ] saved me all trouble by drop
ping ] the portmanteau overboard
themselves 1 , only it was among the
other < luggage. How to get it out
and j dispose of it without discovery
was the problem they had to solve ,
which they accomplished by means
of the dynamite story. " San Fran

A Conscientious Drive ,
"No , sir , " said a herdic driver , " 1
never run over a man , not at least a
drunken man. Why should I run
down a prospective customer ? With
ladies it is different. I'd just as
soon run over a lady as not. They
never take a herdic. But the drunk
en man does. He comes to me and
says , 'take me home , ' and I say
'where ? ' He can't tell me , but I
search his pockets and find his card
or an addressed envelope and I take
him home. If he has no money his
wife gives it to me and thanks me be
sides. No , sir. 1 never run over a .
drunken man. " '
