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? . 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? in hp sure?haonens to be a poor wretch who steals a loalof bread or something of that sort?" * Don't look at me, Ada, dear," Miss Howell bess, in tows that would have Delighted Shakespeare himself; I'm sure 1 don't know,-' and she yawns too, but 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 away in "search of simc one l?ss boisterous.

I've been naming, and I'm deu? Beg pardon?awfully *. tired." Wouldn't ycu rest better in a chair?" " ai-d she leans forward, with a bright ; . smjlnon her lips and in her eyes. ".Not at all. thank you," sealing 4l1n?'seli a step or t?* > below the lady. yMrs. Sherwood,"' begins Ada, betwo 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 ?and gold And so it all came out. Oh .* -dear, what a shocking ti:ing, especially v when one remembers that the?the?" 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 poiite." "Bog pardon," says Herbert, mischievously. "but for some reason or r.'.hcr I ?lA*:i',s think of y? u wlien I think of George.

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, 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.

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.

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 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.

Balem Sui ' rf:.^c.*scwr 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.

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.' ? Youth's Companion.

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 American Coinage "Weights.

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.
