1 w*nt out once lor a quiet stroll,
When something huppi-ned so Tery droll,
I saw a young hunter riding ever,
Up and down, on the shora ol the rivor.
Many a stai: bounded clos-e to the spot.
What did the hunter? He shottbem not; I
Only wing a song in tho lorest green.
Now tell me, my triends, what might this |
mean?
And as I continued my quiet &troii,
Something else happened extremely droll.
A slender maid in a light canoe
Came gliding down on the wa'ers bluo.
About her the tithes sprang wonderingly.
What did the mcid ? She let then go tree;
Only sang a song in the lorest green.
Now tell me, my lricnds, what might this
mean?
And as I returned from my evening stroll,
Something else happened ol all the mo9t droll.
A ii'!orli.s;j steed on my way I passed by,
An empty cauoe on tho river did lie;
And passing a grove ot sycamore through,
Wlint did I hear? There whispered two!
And it was *0 dark there was uothing to 9ee.
"NJ-.it- ??u triends. what might all this
be? I
? From the German oj Robert Reinick.
A Charming Pickpocket.
Miss lilione Howell sits on the top
step of the back porch ol the Pebble
house, gazing out upon the river?blue
as the sky above it and almost as bright
V ?which ilows gently by at the foot ot
the garden.
Everything looks bright and beautiful
this warm, pleasant, fragrant Oetc
^ . ber day. Thcgarden walks, formed o |
many small glittering stones, encircle |
the beds of autumn flowers and plots
ol feailicry grass like broad gray ribbons
thickly sewn with precious gems;
and the little summer and bath liouse3,
built of some dark wood, and encrustec1
with moie brilliant pebbles, gleam anu
glow through the trees at the water's
edge, as the homes of the diamond
fnomes must gleam and glow in the
eart of the dark brown earth Nor
does the sheen and glitter end with
them, for the Pebble house itself is decorated
around each window and doorimbedded
in some mysterious manner
in the frames ?with many-colored
stones, each sparkling bravely in pygmy
mimicry of the settii g sun.
But loveliest of all things that adorn
this wonderful October day?lovelier
than Hashing liver, gleaming sunshineeteeped
pebbles, flaming gladioles and
bee-joved four-o'clocks?is the lady,
young and fair, with gold-brown hair,
large blue-gray eyes, pale oval face, and
owwf. small mouth, leaning back against
. - one of the pillars of the Pebble house
porch, the red foliage of the Virginia
rreeper that enrobes it drooping over
her beautiful head. There is a tender,
rlreamy look in her laree eyes, and a
softsmilenbout her prettily curved lips,
as she sits there so motionless, gazing
out upon the liver. One can see at
oncc that she is wandering in dreamland:
but, aias! sbe is doomed to be
rudely recalled to earth again.
"Kleptomania indeed!" said a loud
* girlish voh-e near her, and Miss Ada
Warden, a little brunette, with magnificent
biaik eyes and heavy black eyebrows,
comes suddenly out on the
p^rch, arm in arm with her inseparable
friend, Linda Lees, whose eyes are as
blue as Ada's are black, and whose eyebrows
are the faintest shadows of those
belonging to her friend. " Why do
they i ever call it that when the?

"Kleptoman;ac,"d!a vis Linda, sink>
- ing into an easy-chair and clasping her
pretty hands above her Ik ad with a
generous yawn that seems to indicate
* her weariness of the subject.
Oh, tharks!" continues Ada, in the
same loud voice, swinging her broadbrimmed
hat carelessly to and fro?

* Don't look at me, Ada, dear," Miss

6uch a cunning little yawn, as though
? a red rosebud Lad suddenly made up
its mind to unfold into the smallest of
red ro3es.
" Well, upon mv word " exclaims
Ada, indignantly, looking from one ol
her friends to the other, " you both app?>ar
to be iu remarkable spirits this
afternoon.' I can'tstand it. 1 must run

".Not at all. thank you," sealing

hi tea of a macaroon.
" ? . Oh, that affair of the diamond
bracelet?poor thing!" says the young
man.
vVhat, do you believe in klepto
mania?" drawls Linda, from her easychair.
. "That's the way they explain^ it,"
Ada goes on. " She has been an innocent
picker-up of costly tritles since her
childhood, her father at lirst, and then
- 7- . her husband, refunding. But Mr.
' . Brown, the jeweler, with a heart as
hard a<* his own diamonds, threatened
pre secution. and only consented to
compromise on condition that he should
be allowed to warn his brethernofgems

Kleptomaniac," Linda again lazily
suggests.
" Moro thanks, Linda love?that the
klen.omaniac c uue near being one of
one's intimaie friends. Do say something,
Herbert.''
" The most charming girl I ever met
in my life," Herbert responded, gravely,
was a pickpocket."
M:sh Warden chokes with her lemonade,
Miss Lees drops her hands from
tLeir favorite position above her head
into her lap, with an echo of the word
ickpocket," and Miss Howell looks
wn on the young man with a quesoning
look in i cr lovely eyes.
"Tell insiantly, Herbert, that?
a darling," f.asps Ada, and Herbert
obeys.
"J,ust win'er, coming home to my
lodging ore night, just after parting
with ray o.d elium George Cuthbert,
r. Ada?"
Miss Warden, with a toss of her
curly head and a flush on her brown
cheeks, commands: "Don't address
yourself altogether to me, sir. It isn't i

"Bog pardon," says Herbert, mischievously.
"but for some reason or

" Who?"from Ada.
"No matter; and that she did not

" What?" from Linda.
41 Either a bunch of violet or a Jacques w

find tha: she seemed totally unconscious J1
of my proximity, although she did ae- n
cept a programme from my hand, in an Sl
absent-minded kind of way, without j,
even a glance in my direction, while
the young lady on the other side peeped l
coquettisnlv at me." <1
"You conceited fellow!" exclaims li
his cousin.
" She did, up n my honor, from be- .
hind her fan, every few minutes, and at J!
last, gaining confidence, from the
angelic expression of my countenance, j
no doubt, actually offered me achoco- ?

' Nothing. Yes, I did; I laughed ftl
siiently and long, till the flirt of the fan r,
and the chocolate caramel said to me, ie
reproachfully: 4 Why do you lau?h? It ir
isn't funny.' And I watched her at the ti
end of the play walking away in the ai
most dignified manmr, after carelully 11
putting my handkerchief in her polocoat,

"' Twas all a mistake, you may depend

Ada hesitates, and Linda as usual tl
comes to hir assistance: "In our back h

coat skirt was intruding upon the arm s
of her chair. And did you ever meet

"I did. And she immediately possessed
herself, in just as guileless a man- G
ter as she possessed herself of my Cl

more valuable." bi
" There's George, and we promised to ei
go sailing with him. Come, Linda,1' 8<
shouts Ada, grasping her lazy friend by

Wandering Berry-I'lckers. c<
The men who pick the strawberries u
in June and the raspberries in July, on
the Hudson river f'uit farms, are com- C(
posed of two classes?confirmed tramps ri
of all nationalities, and Gprmans who, ?i
from the force of circumstances, have! il
been compelled to wander over the n
country, looking for and obtaining a ^
month's work where they could find it. t(
The reckless tramps, who " don't care s'
for anything or anybody," rarely if ever *
work more than a day at a time. They tl
bee or steal their food, and what money j
they earn is spent in purchasing alcohol,
which they dilute and drink. These (,
men usually change their location
every day, and the likelihood is that n
the government cares little whether or t<
not they are enumerated in the census.
The Germans as a rule are hard-workin? r'
but improvident fellows. They pick 11
through the entire season, in some in- *

year. The Germans, the census-takers j
say, will not be ennurueiated becausc ()
they have no residence at any place in p
tills country. v
A reporter talked with an intelligent
German picker at Marlborough. The si
picker spoke English fluently, and his a
story presents the tramp problem in a
new phase The German alluded to *
spoke for himself and lellows when he .
said: " We are forever on the go. We h
know no such place as home in America, t)
and many of us never will. Nearly all h,
of us were lairly educated in Germany, si
and served apprenticeships as bookkeepers
and store clerks. All of the tli
fellows picking berries here came to this O
country soon after the panic. We were .w
not able to speak English, and even if ,n
we could have done so there were no al
vacancies. Merchants were discharging
instead 01 nirirg nejp. Aiier a uun- ^
our mores which we brought over with
us was all used up. Since then wc have 13
been tramping around year after year.'' 0i
" Have you a regular route, or do you 01
go where you think you can tind
work?"
" We have a regular beat. During
the latter part of May a number of the H]
men here pick peas in Burlington ahd 01
Camden counties, in New Jersey. The J.
peas are picked in half-bushel basket?, k
for which the picker is paid fifteen Q]
cents. On pn average a good man can
pick from ten to twelve baskets a day. 3;
We also pick strawberries in New ai
Jersey, and are paid by the quait?two ?
and a half cents." v
" What do you do after the strawber- ui
ries have oeen gathered?" $
"Tramp it up here to the Hudson sl
river fruit farms. Do I know where I |l
was June 1? No, sir; somewhere be- .'!
tween New Jersey and Ulster county. t:
The name ot the village or town I can't r(
teil. Nights we slept in barns. I i s
can't say how many Germans there were o
on the road between New York city, 0'
New Jersey and the Hudson river berry p
larms on June 1. There might have r<
been 700 or 800, probably more. The
Germans that are here did not sleep S
nights with the poormasters, nor ask "
r? 11.:? _K:I? I i
iur ailjfbiiiUi; tu cat nuuc uaiii^iug ^
along the read. We made some money *
picking berries, and bought what we c
wanted to eat at the stores in the vil- \
lages we passed through." (
"After the raspberries are picked, i
about July 25, what do you do then?" li
'' Some make tracks for the hop* farms *
around Utica, others go to Delaware to
pick peaches. Those who go to the hop r
country tiavel along slow, and by the S
time they reach there the hops are ready ?
!o pick. When it is a good season for c
hops we can make and save some ?
money. The hops are picked in boxes, *
and a man used to the business can earn j(
seventy-five cents a day and his board. c
When hop-picbine is about over, the j,
latter part of September, a good many t
of the boys go back to New Jersey to n
pick cranberries on the meadows in At- c
lantic county, on the southern coast. *
The other hop-pickers go to Pcnnsyl- 1
vania to husk corn. When corn-busk- r
ing is through it is almost winter. '
Nearly all the fellows then go to Balti- *
more and hire on an oyster boat, or J
work as openers for the canning firms. J
When spring comes we fish for shad in
the Susquehanna and Potomac rivers, c
At the close ol shad fishing, peas are fc
ready to pick in New Jersey."
" Do the same tramp arouud year d
after 5ear, as jou sa.\' they do?" ?
"Yes; I ve done it for six years. I Jl
am a bookkeeper, and can't find work. ?
My appearance is azainst me. Who L
woukt want to hire me for a book- _
keeper? Out in the open air, in the "

TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER
Collision on Xsoitr J aland Sound Between
the Steamers Narragansett and the
Stonington.
The following aocount is given of tbe ter
rible collision on Long Island Sound between
tbe Bteamora Narraganeett and Stonington:
Tho steamer Narragansett, ot the Providence
and Stonington steamship line, sailed Irom
her pier, at the foot of Jay street, North
river, at 6:30 o'clock p. m.. having on board,
it is eutimated, about 300 passengers. She
was commanded by Captain W. 8. Young,
who took her out on this occasion for the first
lime. It was a pleasant evening, and everything
gave promise ot a prosperous voyago to
Stonington, where tbe passengers were to be
transferred to cars lor Providence and Boston.
Upon entering the Sound l gentle swell was
encountered, but there was no sign of rough
wiather, and the passengers thronged the
saloon, and chatted together, full of lila and
animation. Darkness settled down upon tho
waters, and most of the passengers retired to
ttoir staterooms or berths to enjoy a good
night's rest. About fifty, who had neither
staterooms or berths, settled themselves to
sleep as boat they could on tho solas and easy
chairs which were strewn about the riohlyfiiriiiHhcd
saloon, and a very lew lingered
on the decks, although a dense log had risen
at about ten o'clock, and there was no moon,
I There was not a soul on ooaru wo iumu
steamer that was troubled with any pre:enliment
ot the terrible calamity which was drawing
near.
The fog-whistle was blown at intervals as
I he Narragansett plunged on her way through
the water, and this, with the splashing ot the
wheels and the groaning ol the massive engine,
was the only noiso which disturbed the stillness.
Suddenly, just belore midnight, when
the steamer was off Cornfield Light, opposite
Clinton and Madison, Conn., ana Gre.-nport,
Long Island, within seventeen miles, or two
hours' sail, ot Stonington, and 100 miles irom
New York, there was a crash, the lights ol
the saloon suddenly went out and the air was
tilled with the screams ot frightened men and
women. In a moment vast volumes ol scalding
steam passed through the cabin, and the
pluce resounded with the cries ot officers and
men giving orders aud calling for aid. For a
brief season nobody knew what had happened,
but those on deck saw dimly a huge hulk
loekedjust, to the Narragansett, and the cry
went out that there had been a collision. The
e.<->( tli? sump linn, hnnnd from
Stonington to New York, had crushed through
the Narragansett, her bow sticking in the port
side, ju9t lorward of the wheel-house. Several
of the Narnigan sett's passengers were
struck by the Stonington, and three staterooms
were carried completely awav in the
collision. The Stonington backed out as soon
as possible, having lost her bowsprit and about
three feet of her stem.
The panic which lollowed this rude awakening
of the passengers on the Narragansett
was terrible Men, women and children
jumped from their beds and rushed shrieking
trom their staterooms and berths, some in
their night clothes, and none completely
dressed. They filled the darkened saloon,
and pushed on nud jostled cach oUior in their
frantic efforts to get upon deck. Purser John
Kiernan reasoned with the frantic men and
women who surrounded him, but he might as
will have talked to the winds. Lights were
finally procured, and then the passengers
fought lor chairs, mattresses, lile-preiervers
and every article which could possibly aid to
float them. There were heroic men in that
struggling mass of terrified human beings,
and there were, too, cowardly creatures, who
took advantage of the weakness ot women
and children to savo their own lives. In the
confusion and terror of the moment, husbands
were separated from wives and chil iron
from parents, and all lought for but one obje?t,
I to grasp the lite which was flitting lrom them.
Some, weaker than ottiers, tainted away,
some prayed and some railed, while all
shrieked wildly lor aid.
In the midst ol the tumult tne Nnrraganselt
wns discovered to be on lire. '1 he bow of tl.e
Stonington hud penetrated the built r ol the
other boat, the burning coals ol the furnac :
had bee n scattered on the oiled wood-work ol
the steamer, and now to the lee.r ol d- ath by
drowning was added the ho'iors ol a death by
burning. This increased the panic, and a rush
was made lor the bo.it.-j. The first boat to
rcach the water wih overcrowded and it was
swamped, but the others were put ndrilt with
their precious cargo. The steamer *ns settling,
the heat lrom the Are was growing too
severe to bo boine, and men, women and
children plunged into the dark w?teis with
chairs, mattresses, plonks and whatever else
thoy could lHy their hands 011. One mother
had lelt lier babes in her stateroom, and the
Are and smoke fought her back us she attempted
to rescue them, so that s-he was
obliged to leave them to perish in the fliimes.
Another jumped with herbnbe into the water,
already tilled wiih struggling men and women,
and the little one was wrenched from her
grasp and sucked hcneaih the waters. The
incidents ol that terrible night are lull o! sullciing
and agony to scores ot human beings.
Hut other and more effective aid was at
hand. Capi. I^amphear, ol the City ol Nen
York, bound from N?:W London to New York .
sighted the burning steamer and altered hii
course and bore down upon the disabled ve*
sel. The boats ol the City of New York were
soon in the water, <flV:oied and manned bj
sailors who understood their work, and did il
bravely. For an J;our and a halt the boats
floated around among the drowning passengers,
whose struggles in tho water wire made
visib'e by tho light of the burning steamer,
and the work ol rescue was not given up so
long us n head was to be seen or a cry tor help
to be heard. Women were pulled into the
boats by the hair ol their heads when they
were just ready to give up tho battle, and men
who thought theinselvc3 strong fell down apparently
lifeless on the decks ol tho Stonington
and City ol New York after being rescued
Several persons who were taken on board the
Stonington died from theer exhaustion an
Iright, after having battled in tho water loi
nearly two hours.
While these terrible scenes were boing enacted
on the Na: ragan8ett, the Stonington's
passengers, alter being assured of their own
safety, the fear of which had lor a time filled
them with terror, urged the oftlcers to send
boats to rescue the drowning passengers ol
the Narraganset'. Alter n delay the boats
wero lowered, and then it was found there
w ere no plugs to stop the water holes. To
supply these created another delay, and all the
time the cries lor help from the burning
steamer and lrom the black water were ringing
in the night air. The boats were Anally
rigged and manned, but the men know nothing
ol handling the oars, and tho result was
conlu?ion and much loss of invaluable time
Once at work, however, the boats of the
Stonington did well, and rescued many of tho
drowning men and women. The men worked
with a will, which made up in some degree
lor their lack ol discipline.
The steamer Narragansott was burned t<.
the watei's edge, and then tho hull, with hei
entire cargo, sank in eigh*. lathoms ol water.
No accurate list of her pis engerj was kept,
and many-v/bo sailed in her are not now
known. It is), therelore, imms-ible to estimate

A Pleasant Girl.
A traveler in Norway, last summer,
came to a village early one morning,
and was struck by the air of gloom
which pervaded the street. U. able to
speak a word of the language, he could
not ask the cause of this, and concluded
that some sickness or financial trouble
had fallen upon the community. As
the day wore toward noon, however,
the houses were closed, shop-windows
were covered, all trade and business
ceascd. It was a death, then? Presently
he saw the people gathering for
the funeral. There were the village officials,
the noblemen from the neighboring
chateau, and apparently every man,
woman and child in the village. It
must be some dignitary of the church
who was dead, or some county official.
As he stood watching the crowds passing
down the little rocky street, he
caught sight of the face of a German
known to him. He beckoned to him.
"The town has lost some great magnate.
apparently?" lie said.
" Ah, no. It is only a young maiden
who is dead. No. She was not beau^
tiful nor rich. But oh. such a pleasant
girl, monsieur! All the world seems
darker now that she is dead!"
It is a singular fact that, when we
reach middle life and look brick, it is
not the beautiiul, nor the brilliant, nor
the famous people whom we have
known, that we remember with the
keenest regret; but some simple, sincere,
" pleasant" soul, whom we treated
as an everyday matter while she was
with us.
Go into a family, or a social circle, or
even into a ballroom, and the woman
who has the most friends there, as a
rule, is not the belle, nor the wit, nor
the heiress, nor the beauty ; but some
homely, charming little body, whose
fine tact and warm heart never allow
her to say a wrong word in a wrong
place.
The "pleasant women" are the at
traction tiiat everywhere noicis society
and homes together. Any woman,
however poor or ualy, may be one of
them; hut she must fust he candid,
honorable, unselfish and loving. If she
is these, the world will lie better and
happier for every day of her life, and
as in the case of this poor Norwegian,
it wilW'seem dnrker when 3he is dead.'

How a Yonng Inventor Worked.
The old " door-latch," in universa
Use Deiore our Knuu-iaiuiiea uaauic ou
popular, still holds its place in rnanj
country houses. The Scientific American
had this interejtinfr notice of it:
The remark of the English builder,
Mr. Frederick Smith, that everything
about tlic American thumb-later
" proves that brains were used when it
was designed and made," calls out from
an old friend of the inventor the following
account of the oircuuistances undei
which the invention was made. Out
correspondent gives the story in the
words of the inventor, Mr. Blake. After
telling how his previous busicejs?the
manufacture of tooth-brushes?had
proved unprofitable, Mr. Blake said:
"I found it was necessary to invenl
something. Going to the city of New
Haven I went into a hardware store
and asked the salesman to show me the
worst-made article of general use. He
at once handed me a Norfolk iatch.
I bought it, took it home, 'and in ?
short time made the present latch. Ic
the first year I sold 30,000 dozen."
The Blake latch was patented aboul
1830. Our correspondent says that the
last Norfolk latches he saw were beins;
i?1 ? m:n PV,;io.
WOl'Kf'U up 111 II lUUIUg-LUIll U.U i li.iu
delphia in 1845. Our correspondent
adds that in 1879, nearly fifty year.'
after the American latch was patented
it should be considered a wonder by the
intelligent Englishman, is perfectly marvelous.
That the Blake latch has nevei
been improved by the active American,
proves that Mr. Smith is correct wher
he says brains were used in its dciigr
and construction

Alcohol and Insanity.
Dr. Lunier, a distinguished physician
of Franoe, has shown oy a careful col
1 lation of statistics, that insanity in th a
country keeps almost exact pace with
the consumption of alcohol.
, From 1831 to 1873 the latter rose from
1.09 litre per head to2.81. Of the insane
admitted into tho asylums in 1867 the
malady could be ascribed to alcohol in
i 7.06 per cent; while in 1874-6 the proportion
was 13.94 per cent. We may
1 add that the suicides attributed to the
same cause more than doubled during
the same period.
From the famous Cantor lectures on
alcohol by Dr. B. W. Richardson, F. R.
S., the highest British authority on the
subject, we may learn somewhat of the
peculiar character of the insanity which
alcohol induces. He is authority for
the following:
i No nutriment can reach the organs or
tissues of the system except as an
aqueous solution, which is filtered
through the minute pores of the membranes
that envelop them. If these
membeanes, therefore, become condensed
or thickened, they fail to
*' dialyse"-to allow the nourishing fluids
to pass through. Now the tendency of
alcohol is mainly to thicken the eaveioping
membranes of the brain and spinal
j cord; or, itself passing through, to
ntinM/*A onViatowofl ifaolf (
3 course, the cerebrospinal system can
' be no longer properly nourished.
One of the first cerebral effects is
\ shown in loss of memory?in forgetful
ness of commonest things. If this progresses
it is followed by loss of volun3
tary po fc er. The muscles remain ready
to act, but the mind is incapable of stirring
them to action. Forthis reason the
speech fails. The man now descends to
that condition of general paralysis in
which all the higher faculties of mind
and will are powerless, and nothing remains
but a merely vegetative life.
" Our asylums," he adds "are charged
with these help if ss specimens of humanity.
The membranes of the nervous centers
of thought and volition have lost
dialysing function. In some instances,
though less frequently than might be
supposed, the nervous matter itself is
modified, visibly, in texture. The result
is a complete wreck of the nervous mer
chanism, the utter helplessness of will,
] the absolute dependence on other hands
9 for the very food that has to be borne to
3 th? mouth. The picture is one o
1 breathing death.1'? Youth's Companion

When a man sneaks into the house at
midnight, and tries to get into bed

t noiselessly as a floating zephyr.
