9d WIND AND SEA. The sea is a jovial comrade, He laughs wherever he goes. His merriment shines in the dimpling line* That wrinkle his hale repose. He lays himself down at the feet of the sun, And shakes all over with glee, And the broad backed billows fall faint on the shore In the mirth of the mighty sea! Bat the wind is sad and restless And cursed with an inward pain, Tod may hark at will, by valley or hill, A But you hear him still complain He wails on the barren mountains And shrieks on the wintry sea, He sobs in the cedar and moans in the pine And shudders all over the aspen tree. Welcome are both their voices. And I know not which is best— The laughter that slips from ocean's lips Or the comfortless -wind's unrest There's a pang in all rejoicing, A joy in the heart of pain, And the wind that saddens, the sea that glad dens Are singing the selfsame strain —Bayard Taylor WHO CINDERELLA REALLY WAS. Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears In Sacred Hindoo Books. The story of Cinderella is substantial ly the same as that told of Rhodopis and Psammitichus by Elian, who lived in Rome in the third century of the Christian era The story, as told by Elian, is that while Rhodopis was bath ing, an eagle carried away one of her sandals and dropped it near the feet of Psammitichus, king of Egypt, who, like Cinderella's prince, was struck by its diminutive size* caused the maiden to be sought for, and married her when found Make the sandal a glass slipper and add the ugly sisters foi the sake of contrast, and the stories are much the same The glass slipper, by the way, is an ackno^ ledged fiction, being in real ^ty a mistranslation of "nantoufie en a (a fui shppei), and not "e vene This, at all events, is what is claimed by Peirault in his Contes de Fees Botn these stones have doubtless a com men ongin, but it is necessary to go luithe11 back the histoiy of the htera tuie to find it—to a people who Ined -penod compared with which that of even Llian is quite modern It is in the Vedas, the four sacied books of the HI doos, that the ongm is to be found Attei what has already been said, it will not be surpusino to leain that Cm derella is a dawn maiden, hei sisters being the poweis of darkness, who compel her to wait upon them keeping her hidden fioru sight The davv maid en breaks from her bonds, and capti tates the sun, lemammg with him foi time But she cannot lmgei with him the hca\ens, sho can remain only nntil a ceitam horn.

LtM THE RETIRED BURGLAR RELATES HIS MOST SINGULAR EXPERIENCE. He Had an Elegant XMJ Out of Wedding Presents at Hi* Mercy When He Mad* an Unfortunate Step—In the Xnd He Hade a Contribution to the Collection. I a house that I was looking over in a town up the state one night, said the retired burglar, I came across something that I never struck but that once in all my experience, strange as it may seem, and that was a lot of wed ding presents, all just as they were ar ranged for display. When I tnrned my lamp into the room, I wished I had brought a horse and wagon there was a good deal of it that wouldn't have been of any earthly use to me, but it seemed a pity to leave any of it behind. But if I couldn't carry it all off, I could have the fun of picking, and I started to look the things over. They were ar langed on tables and chairs and on thethis floor around on three sides of the room on the side opposite to the side that I had come at, and on the sides to the right and left, running around those ihree sides a sort of irregular order. On the side where I was there were a few chairs I thought I'd start on the left and work around" to the right, and I staited from the door and had gone about three steps when I went down through the floor, as it seemed to me, but what I had really done was to step down thiough an open register I suppose somebody must have dropped something down through it and have taken it out to get it and forgot to put it back "There was a wire screen under the registei over the pipe opening to keep things from dropping down the pipe, but it was very fine light wire, and it didn stop me at all, I just slid down into the pipe, pushing that along under my feet When I dropped into the pipe, I had been facing to the left, some way as I went down I got skewed around so that when I got down as far as I did go I was facing to the front, that is, towaid/ the centei of the room The pipe didn't go straight down, but with a curve I had thiown up my hands as I went down, and I suppose I might have gone plumb to the furnace if I hadn Isqlutched at the edge of the regis tei opening and hung on A minute be fore I was going to take my pick of a roomful, now where was I had staited across the room carry ing my toolbag in one hand and my lamp in the other The shock when I went down had shaken the bag out of my hand, but I had held on to my lamp, though it was lying on its side now with my fingers clutching through the handle The falling of the toolbag and the striking of the lamp on the flooi and the sciapmg of the wire gauze down thiough the tin pipe must have made all togethei a good deal of noise, and I expected eveiy minute to heai somebody moving about v. stans and coming down to haul me out, but no body did come, and I set my lamp up stiaight, and aftei I'd waited a minute or two more I staited to see if I could haul myself out "A& I Hy the pipe my head was below the level oi thn flooi, by a gieat, pffoit I W laise myelf so that the uppei half o± my head was above tne opening, but no higher, there was no loom foi rh y, when I got that high, I found mysel4' vvith my elDows close to my body nd fanly wedged into tho pipe I couldn't gc any higher I let myself down agim, and aftei awlnle I pulled myself up again, and held on by one hand ai.d held up the lamp and swung it round on the things Then I let myself down again, and won deied vvhat I was going to do It wasn't only uncomfoitible there in the posi tion I was in, it was mighty hot ai. 1 unpleasant every way »~I1 I let go, I didn't know but that I'd slide down against the "furnace, and, of course, I couldn't stand it foi an indefinite length of time, and when I'd been in the pipe I should imagine about two hours, I made up my mind that I wouldn't try to stand it any longei, I'd got to come out some time, and I might just as well come out then, in fact, better, for while the chances of my getting away at all were mighty small, they would be bet ter at night than they would be in the daytime "So I made up my mind to kick on the pipe and wake up the house and have the thing settled So I kicked once, twice, and then I kicked again, and by snakes' I kicked the pipe open at my feet There was a joint there, and I'd kieked it apart, and the sections I was in sagged down with my weight, and I slid out on the cellar floor. The sagging down of that part of the pipe detached it from the part above and it fell on the cellar floor alongside of me. That made noise enough to wake every body up there couldn't be any doubt about that. I went out by the same cellar win dow that I came in by. It was the first and only such lot of stuff that I ever struck, and I never got a thing out of it in fact, I added something to it my self—a set of tools and a dark lantern —New York Sun "The Pyramid Limp."

Bow These Odd and Erratic Bahy Plaaeta The shooting star is an oddity of the very oddest kind. I is a world of itself —a miniature planet—probably not larger than the papier mache globe on your study table or the rubber ball with which the schoolboys play "three cornered cat," but it is a world just the same. These baby planets are not al ways round, as planets are generally supposed to be, but are known to be in alL sorts of queer shapes. Some are square, others octagonal some irregu lar and many cornered, while one is oc casionally met with which is smooth as a brick or a cement paving stone. Probably yon have never heard of ft man (or woman either, for that matter) "meeting with a shooting star in any of his wanderings. Let us see how such a thing might be possible. The shooting star is originally a min iature world, revolving around the sun with as much regularity as the earth, Jupiter, "Venus or Mars I keeps up unerring flight thousands or even millions of years Finally it reaches the limit of its existence Suddenly and perhaps without any *isible cause it shoots off at a tangent.
