I will let Mr. Farlow tell his own story, for he can tell it better than I could: "You know my marriage all came out of a South American trip that I once made, and that is the interesting part of the little romance. I was only twentyone, and in the employ of a shipping company in San Francisco. I had been with them about a year and a half, and I think they trusted me a good deal,?in fact, they must have done so to have sent me on the expedition they diu. A captain and his crew had run away with a ship that belonged to the company,and * - TT~ tney wanted me to caicu imp. jqc uuu started with his booty toward Cape Horn, and if he once fairly left the South American waters he was pretty safe from us. I boarded the swiftest schooner that sailed out of Frisco bay, and we stretched every inch of canvas for the south. The runaway had a good two days the start of us, and was nearly as j good a sailer as we. But we resolved to do our best and hope for luck. In any kind Of an enterprise a man may always hope for luck, though he can't really count on it. At any rate, it serves to keep the courage up. "In five days we sighted the islands off Colombia and stopped to make inquiries. The vessel we were after had been sighted two days and a half before, | uuu woo sutugub ivt kmv j The news was not encouraging, but we set off again, with two days and a half instead of two days to gain. But we still hoped for luck or some happy thought. It was not luck but a happy thought that finally decided me to leave ; the ship at Valparaiso and strike across j country to Buenos Ayres in the hope of , heading off the robbers before they cleared that port. Sailing round the , Cape I knew to be hard work and often slow, and with good luck I could prob- | ably catch the vessel, or at least have gained in the chase. "The trip across the Andes and the , vast plains beyond was a memorable one . to mo. It took a fortnight of the hard- , est tramping and riding I ever did in my , life, but I saw some things I have never , seen since, and never will again. The guides that we started wiih were crusty, malicious fellows, and made me wonder j every night when I lay down to sleep . on the open ground whether I should : not wake up to find my throat cut. For- j tunately that never happened; but the , itooeftn woa thnf fVioo- Vinrl t.h? hflttpp riftrfc of my money before we set out. Other- ( wise I think my life would have been ( held pretty cheap by a life insurance < company. "At last the mountains were passed, ] and before us stretched a broad, level, grassy plain, and twentv miles away, though the distance seemed much less, ( lay a city half the size of Boston, but whose site was on no map in existence, and whose name probably not ten educated men in this country had ever hea'd. But that was forty years ago. Of course things have changed since then. "Here my guides said they must leave me, and though I entreated their company to the city, thty utterly refused. I therefore set out alone. "You can imagine my desolation at being left, even by the desperate black hued men who had been my companions T trnn fltan PAmo ooroo nf 3U lUl* Xittu iiiitj uau ouiiiv owucw v* humanity in them, some sympathy for my lonehnes?, though it was a moody, silent sympathy, but now I was alone, a strange city that I did not know before me, the Andes behind me. If I was ever homesick in my life it was on that morning. If I ever wished I were at home with a wife and children about me, that was the time. As I tramped on I dreamed of all these things. I carefully recalled all the young ladies of my acquaintance, to see if any of them would do for a wife. Some were more or less attractive, but there were many difficulties in the way of really marrying any one of them. After a time I turned from a consideration of the individual female to a consideration of the money question. That seemed less doubtful, for I had begun to know my own powers and to truBt them. I then and there resolved that I would work no longer for another master, but go into business for myself wheu I returned to Sua Francisco. I had ? cjmc. . i;." > f ft little capital laid by,and of course there were many schemes for using it profitably already formed in ray mind. I may be pardoned for saying that ray resolve was carried out, though perhaps not as I had hoped. "It was evening when I reached the city, with its narrow streets and low, leaf-thatched houses, rudely and wes.kly built, but having some show of neatness on the inside. All the buildings seemed alike, and there were no stores or big signs of hotels or restaurants. The dusky, half-savage people stared coldly at me, and made me feel more alone than ever. I wandered along, hoping to see a familiar sign of some sort, at least some show of a decent night's lodging and a I good square meal. The tough-looking guides on the other side of the mountains had robbed me of most of mj money,but I had a little left. Yet it was growing dusk and I did not know what to do, for I could not speak the ordinary patois of the people to make any inquiries. "At last, however, my happy eyes saw the Spanish word for 'Restaurant,' printed on a slip of white paper with a lead pencil and stuck in a glass window. Without ceremony I entered. There was a large room of rough, plain boards, and in the middle of it one long table covered with a white cloth. At first I thought that there was no one present. But as I grew used to the faint light I made out the form of a girl sitting at the farther end of the table, with her head buriel in her arms. I tapped on the table to attract her attention, and she quickly raised her head. As well as I could see I thought she was good-looking and a young woman. I vaguely felt happy and wondered what language she spoke. As I revolved in my mind the possible methods of finding this out, and was about to begin witn .aagiisn ana try i all I knew,I picked up an earthen plate, | and as I toyed with it on the table in my embarrassment, I accidentally let it fall to the floor, where it broke in several pieces, much to my astonishment. At this the girl started quickly to her feet in a little affright, exclaiming very distinctly: u 'Gracious!' 'So she was English. In my delight at the discovery I forgot all about the plate, but stepped quickly forward and took her hand, now quite without Embarrassment, and explained, as briefly as I could, who I was and what I wanted. You may be sure she was as delighted to 6ee me as I was to see her. For a whole year the only kindred face she had seen was her father's, and that, she remarked, was coyered with a shaggy beard. She confessed that when I came in she was shedding a few tears of homesickness herself and wondering if no friend would come to see her, or if her father could nrtf Ko norannrfpri tn talce hpr back to rw ? ? Cuba, where her home had been. 4lI think I was never happier in my life than I was that night. We two seemed to have come to each other at just the iroment that each was mo3t welcome, and we found our thoughts so alike and our tastes so congenial that we sat ahd talked a full hour before my hungry stomach even had a chance to assert itself. You may bo sure I was well served with a good supper, a3 hot and steaming and dainty as an English girl could make it. Then when we had Bpent another hour in eating it and chatting over it, and I had helped clear tho dishes away and wash them, and my friend had decided to let the sweeping go until the morning, because I must start early, the old father, a bluff, taciturn man, came in and joined the conversation with us, and I quite foigot my weariness until it was very late. "My new-found friend, the old gentleman, was a person of some authority in the place, and offered to provide me with an escort of twelve mounted men to Buenos Ayres, which was some nine hundred miles across open plaic3, where two hostile tribes were at war. Each tribe had a cockade as a badge, one of red the other of white. Rv havincr both of these sorts of cock ades ia our pockets and dexteriously pulling out the right one whea a com* pany of armed men approached us, we doped to pass all lines safely, and the event proved happy, though we had some narrow escapes. "When I was ready to start in the morning, I suddenly, half jokingly, asked the young woman to whom I had become much attached in a single even* ing, to accompany me as far as her old home in Cuba, and I promised her father to take good care of her. Somewhat to the astonishment of us all, she took the notion of begging her father to let her iccept my offer, and he finally consented. "We were just in the nick of time at Buenos Ayres to head off the runaway ship. The Captain had taken out his papers already when we arrived, and was planning to sail the next morning. But tie and all his mates were quietly arrested while still on shore, and I myself took command of the vessel,shipped % new crew, and with my newly-discovered treasure from the heart of the desert, sailed for the West Indies, where [ spent a happy month at the young lady's home in Cuba. "It is needless to say that she became Mrs. Farlow, and you sre quite well enough acquainted with her to excuse i me from expatiating further upon her beauty and other attractive qualities."?

I ~i .Oth ' ' j. .. r-rc.'; '/J Youth and Crime in Great Citieo. Recorder Smyth, of New York, says in Scribner-. A very large proportion oi the criminal offences brought to the notice of the courts consists of those committed by 'boys, or young men under the age of twenty-five year9. In many cases the crimes are the result of the influence of elder criminals, or are committed without a realization of the great wrongfulness of the act. Sometimes, however, the criminal instinct is strong in >even immature youths. A boy of fifteen years of age, who was brought before me a few years ago, was convicted of a high degree of robbery, and it appeared that in other case3 he had been guilty of similar offences, but on account of his extreme youth had escaped punishment. He took part witu older men in assuming citizens on the street and taking property from th?ir persons. The managers of the House of Refuge, to which institution I committed the boy, refused to receive him, because of his previous crimes and the bad influence which he exerted upon other inmates. I was unwilling to send him either to the Penitentiary or the State Prison on account of hia youth, and because I felt certain that association with oldei criminals would only render him more hardened in his vicious career. He was detained in the city prisoii for many months and finally discharged. Other instances of the early depravity of members of the criminal class have come to my attention. The fact that so many crimes are committed by persons of immature years, however sad it may be, proves that, to some extent at least, the penalties of the criminal law are effective in preventing crime. Young men who have had their fir3t experience in a reforming or penal institution either learn caution, and do not again expose themselves to conviction of serious offences, or become convinced that honest employment at some laborious occupation is, after all, more profitable than the criminal career, with its liability of detection and seyere punishment. Some, of course, of the young rm 1 a* i.L 1Z - onenciers conuuue iuejr uvea ui tnuic and become professional criminals. The number of professional criminals is, however, smaller than is ordinarily supposed. The Celebratied Turkish Carpet. There are no carpets more celebrated than those of Turkey, perhaps because they were the first to be imported in large quantities to Europe. Persian carpets, even when of large size, are almost invariably oblong, following the shape of Persian rooms. But it is almost a rule for Turkish carpets of large size to be square. The texture of Turkey rugs is looser than of those iof Persia or India, but the length of the pile gives them a thickness and solidity that i> almost imperishable, and renders them exceedingly luxurious. White is a color rarely found in a Turkey carpet. ' The designs are simple and with as little regard to absolute symmetry as if inherited from a rude period, but the general effect is agreeable and often very rich. The usual grounds are green or crimson, relieved in the borders with blue3, greens and blacks, the centre of ten diamondshaped, and the subordinate designs grouped like clusters of jewels. Turkey carpets are made from Avmenia to Algiers, chiefly by the peasantry. The finest exported grades are those of Ushak Rnd Kulab. A. good Turkey rug is worth $3 to |7 a square yard where it is made. One of the finest of Oriental wool carpets, perhaps the best of Central Asia af er those of Kurdistan, is that of Turkestan, made by the wandering Turk omen. Our dealers call it a Bokhara rug, but Asiatics know it as the Turkistan rug. The texture is close and the pile or nap short. The prevailing colors are a deep maroon red relieved by touches of crims< n or vermillion and black and a rich blue. A certain conventional pattern is followed, aithough with endless variations. Recent Turkestan rugs are greatly injured by tho adoption of analine dyes, but the old ones gain with ago a rich peach bloom and a gloss that suggests silk. These rugs are worth in the Persian mnrkets from $4 to $7 the square yard.

Owing to a popular misconception this substance, whose more appropriate name is "baleen," has been called "bone," while it really contains no bone whatever in its composition. It resembles rather a number of hardened hairs, cemented together by a . sort of gum. Chemically it consists of a basis of albumen hardened by phosphate of lime, the latter, however, in very small quantity. It takes the place of teeth in certain species of whales, especially the Greenland and Southern whale. A full-grown Greenland whale yields about a ton of the substance. The whaling vessels usually bring it in pieces of ten or twelve blades each, but some"" ? - - 1 it.. ! times, ll tne voyage is long, tae sauore have time to strip off each blade and divest it off its hairs. In preparing them for use the blades are cleaned and softened by boiling for about two hours; while still hot they are fixed in large wooden vices and shaved into the required sizes. These slices or stripes are dried smooth by steel scrapers and polished with either emery or dry quicklime. Besides its original usage in stiffening the waists of ladies' dresses whalebone or baleen is emoloved in making walking sticks, snutf boxes, covering telescopes and whip handles, and even making some kinds of artificial flowers. The fibres detached in slicing the blades are used instead of bristles in cheap brushes and sometimes instead of hair in stuffing mattresses. In its old use as rib3 for umbrellas it has been superceded by the lighter and more durable steel. Although the demand on the importers each year has been growing steadily less its value has increased. In 1873 there were 3544 hundred weight,of a value of $333,U9U; while in 1877, though the quautity w?-j only 1969 hundred weight, the value was $414,935.?St. Louit Post-Dispatch. Paper Bed Spreads.

J First he mentions n young fellow who e was tied to a post, "hard by the Stand- [ ard Chop," with a collar of iron about e bis neck, and soundly whipped every j two hours "for five days by two stout i men, for the crime of pretending to see jj visions. Further on we read: "Cheken, t a parson of St. Nicholas, Cold Harbor, } was this day driven about the streets of t London in a cart, the parson himself t dressed in a yellow gown;" all of this because he had sold his wife to the hntcherl Was it onlv a coincidence that 1 a butcher was one ot the parties to this , transaction, or was it the intention of "the goodly man" to have his better , half served up in roasts? As it is now ] , nearly 350 years since ''the parson" com- i mitted that uncanny crime, it is doubtful if we ever find out whether she ! "went to the skillet" or not. jj According to other items in Machyn fc one can readily see that purveyors of pro- * , visions were the Bame kind of mortals then as they arc to-day. They were in- t clined to palm off their base goods as t sound; to use their arts. to take in the \ customer, only the punishment inflicted when the fraud was discovered was \ somewhat more personal and severe than j it i9 now. Machyn says that a butcher of that time w^io had exposed diseased ] meat for sale "was forced to ride about the streets of London, his face toward the horse's tail with half a lamb before and another half behind, and beef and veal borne before him on a long pole." j Men who sold spoiled fish were put in \ the pillory with decayed fish strung 1 about iheir necks. The entry of March 3, 1557, says: "Seen Thomas, the shoemaker, soundly thrashed at Cheapside to-day for making a high priced boot of a cheap quality of leather."?St. Louit Republic. A Pet Rooster.

This bird is oitentimes seen on the sidewalk playing with 'the children. He will let a stranger pick him up in his arms and stroke him, and enjoys the process with as much apparent delight as would a dog or cat. The owner of the bird is particularly attached to him, and appears to be one of the proudest men in the city, going to and returning from his store with the rooster following him as would a pet dog. When the owner reaches out his hand the bird jumps up to peck at it, and altogether they attract a good deal of attention.? Chicago Timet. Finest Harbor in the World.
