M?F TEE PEISOMS'S TASK

Then, as he still had twenty years tc
serve out, he said to himself one tine
morning t'jdt it was shameful to lead
so lazy u"!ifo, and that he must find
sonic o<;. ui ;ition worthy?not of a free
man, for he was a prisoner?but simply
cf a man.
He devoted a year to reflecting, to
weighing the different ideas which
passed through his head, and examining
what should be the definitive object
of his life.
To train a spider? That was veiy
r>1rl wol! Vnrvcrn! C6nv Pellison. ryp.mrh fs
flat plagiary!
To count on his fingers the "wrinkles
on the "call? What! that was a ridiculous
and useless amusement; nothing |
worth'whjle. /'-"N rr v'
He said to himself: "I must findj
something which would be at once
curious, profitable and gratifying to my
desire for vengeance. I must invent a
task which will make the time pas3,
which will produce some benefit and
which will have the value of a protest"
A fresh yea1 was spent On this dis
covery, ana DnaiiJ success rewaraea so
much perseverance.
The prisoner lived in a veritable
dungeon, where the SOS entered only
for half an hour a day, and tSen only by
a thin Hfte single loir of light
The wretched pallet on which the unfortunate
man rested his cramped limbs,
was literally npfeing fcp?""a'tiea^ " of
damp straw. - '' *~ *
"^tow, then/Vhp cried with energy "I
shall bother my jailers and bluff the
law. I will dry my straw!" ' 1
He first of all -counted .the stalks
which zormea xus cunoie. xaere were j
1,S07. A poor bundle.
He next made an experiment to find
out how much time it needed to dr?,one
of the,straws. It needed three-quarters-off
as hour. - ' ' ;
This made then, altegeiher, for the
1,307 strata hotursapd

Tenyears raasedaway. The prisoner
had now only a third of his damp bundle
to sleep cin, &a<t had las-ehegt stuffed
with the two other thirds wiuchhad
gradually beesi dried.
Fifteen years passed. OhJ joy, only

and satanic laughter of insurgents:
"Ha! haT "You condemned me to
damp straw in your dungeon! Then

Alas! cruel fate was waiting in am bush
for its prey!
One night when the prisoner was
dreaming of-his future happiness, in his
ecstasy he made furious gestures,
knocked over his pitcher, and the water

Eight days and eighty nights he debated
in anguish, strogglHtg :wiiifc- despair,
trying to find a footing again in

him.

Some amusing features from the live;
of celebrated men "have ieen brought
together "by a German writer. Anbei
wrote on horseback; it was not possible
for him to write in any other place than
jia Paris, however beautiful anothei
residence might be, and ^however manj
other attractions it might offer. Adam

who always slept when he went

given His attention to the romantic
scenery of Switzerland and Italy.
Elmarosa could not write without having

Sacchmi's train of thought was interrupted
when his cats did not play their
antics upon his writing desk. Sarti
could ODly become inspired in a room

lighted. Spontini could only compose
in the dark, and Meyerbeer composed
bestr ' during violent thunder storms,
under the roof of his house. Salien

Jean Paul replenished his ideas while
taking a walk, and drank a glass of beer
now and then on the way. In writing
he loved the strong smell of flowers.
Herr von Kleist worked with great difficulty,
and when he made poetry, it wa3
as if he had a conflict with an invisible
fiend. Jest the opposite was the case
with Father "Wieland. In making his
poems he trilled a lively song, and
sometimes would spring away from his
work and cut a caper in the air. Sotzebue,
in the composing of his dramas was
also actor. He himself acted single

- Burger, the immortal poet of Leonora,
is said to have whistled street songs as
he wrote his verse on paper. His conversation
in such moments is said to
have been obscene. Holderlin was
often found crying when he composed
poems. Similar things are said of the
French romance writer Lafontaine. His
wife once found Jbim before his writing
desk swimming in tears. "Oh, it is too
sad," he said. 'It don't go at all," he

Sir Joseph Banks, the celebrated naturalist,
once had a cask of -wine -which
on tasting was found too sweet. It was
therefore locked, up in tha cellar to
ripea. Inhere rt remafne<t~for~ three

with Capt. Cook in liis voyage around
the world. At the end of that- period
ha directed his butler to ascertain the
state of the wine; but the cellar door
could not be_ opened on account of
some powerful o*?tacle within. The
door was cut dc.. when the cellar was
found to be completely filled with a
ftmgus sa dense and firm as to require
an ax for its removal. Itwas then discovered
that the fungus had consumed
every drop of wine and raised the
empty cask to the ceiling.

[Fannie Brigham Ward in Pioneer. Presi J
A Mexican funeral is very different
from tho same sad ceremony in tbo
United .States, for here all tliat is
.ghastly is brought to the front and
every comforting suggestion carefully
excluded. Apparently these people
mean to enjoy "the luxury of .grief* to
the full, aud doclioe to be robbed of a
jangle pang. Here no .floral tributes are
sent by sympathizingfriends?nopillows
of white carnation with "tiest" m purpurple
immortelles; no crosses and anchors
of spotless'lilies; and the clear departed
arc not laid away in beds of
hlrtftflftrwi with tulifi-jroses noon their
bosoms. If flowers are used at all, they
are generally the gaudiest of artificial,
with leaves and little streamers of gilt
paper, precisely like those fastened to
; iron hooks which are thrust into the
bull's hide during the Sunday divcrtisement
of the Plaza de Torros. I have
seen a bunch of these floral monstrosities

At whatever hoar of (lay or night a
person dies in Mexico, it is customary
; to appoint the funeral services just
iwenty-fpur hjaiws thereafter, or as near
as it.can.posAiblyJbe arranged. It is a
: .TReliskaown fact the wide world over,
that the majority of souls go oat of

^i^ht^ and <iay w^ea all the forces of
life-are at their lowest ebb; therefore?
in ctrnaea nance of Ithe national custom

imudci custom is even more inexorable
iero than in our own country, and none
dream or delvinc it.
Abonl' the sad&Mt sights I ever saw,
suflScient to mate any mother's heart
aefce.^re frequently met in the twi
: tight of the early morning; a little
procession of men on foot (with never a
woman among them) wending their way
; to the campo sanlo?field of saints, as
the cemetery, is called. The bereaved
lather marches in front, withfcbe little
bluc-p&iated coffin Imlajic^d upon his
head.

-uplry a boy, carrying the. coffin lid.
Tfce dead clnH is plainly visible within
the open box, dressed in tfte gayest
clotbes. adorned with many paper
4kwacs, and- often the ii&fe features
can scarcely be recognized. from the
dust of the street which settles upon it
before the "dust to dust" process begins!
Except among the wealthy, the
cbffm is not burled with the body, but
' is merely rented for the journey between
house and cemetery, the same
pine box, which for adults is painted
black, outlined with white and yellow
stripes, serving the purpose a great
number of times.
