The pupil looked thoughtful, but made no reply. After the class was dismissed a class mate inquired of him if Washington ever did anything else remarkable when he was sixteen.

Nurses and doctors were bard at work from morning till night, and from night till morn ing agaim The severe winter was bringing its usuai accompaniments of starvation and sickness. Hurd times and bad living were working havoc among the poor ; tuc hospital was full to overflowing, ?n unusual number of casualties, at the sam9 time, brought stretcher after stretcher to the accidental room. The great clock ov&r thc entrance was just striking 6 as I threw my shawl round me and hastened off across the grounds to tho dispensary. Running quickly through tho snow, I soou ar rived at the door, and was greeted by the customary growl which awaited late comers. .'J am sorry I ara late in ooming for the stimulant?," I said, as soon as I could get my breath. "I could Dot leave the ward before. Let mo sec, sire ounces of brandy for No. 20 aud little No. lG's portwine; that is all, I think." "Anything fresh this afternoon, Nurse Deaton?" inquired the dispen ser, as I busily packed the bottles into my apron pocket, in order to leave my hands free for my shawl. "Nothing for us" I answered. "A bad case has just gone ?p io Mary Ward. A poor young fellow was brought in this afternoon, fouud dead in the 6now-good evcr-ing," and I set off again across the wbito ground. "Off duty at 6," I said to myself, as I went. "I would not go off, only I am so tired, and Sister says I must." At the ward door I encountered Nurse Flemming, my chum and fel low-nurse, just emerging from the ward, accompanied by two womeu, one of whom was weeping bitterly. "Oh, deane," exclaimed nurse as she saw me, "I am so glad you aro come. This is the wife of poor No. 12, who died this morning; tho wishes to see him. I know you are off duty, dear, but do you miud taking her? I've just got a fracturo in, and Mr. Hooper is waiting to attend to it ; thank you." I nodded a cheerful ac quiescence, and she turned back to at tend to her many duties. Taking the women with me, I went to the room of the porter, who'kept the morturary keys. With many growls he lighted his lantern and pre pared to accompany us, as ho was in duty bound to do. He was one of many male officials of St. Alban's, who consider it right to be as disagreeable as possible to the nurses whenever they required his services, so I took no notice of his mutterings, but devoted my attention to the poor woman at my side. While she was telling mo of tho many vir tues of her late husband, and of the dark future in store for herself and her eight children, we arrived at the door of the mortuary. Leaving us standing there, under a lamp which projected from tho wall and which the porter lit from tho Hame of his lantern, tho man entered alone, in order that ho might bring forward from the large mortuary the particu lar body we wished to see ; presently he opened the door again to admit us. Tho door by which we entered led into a tiny chapel. It was hore that tho relatives of the deceased looked their last upon the pale, set faces of their departed friends. Tho body about to be visited was wheeled on a light trolley into the chapel, which was kept very clean, ond daily re decked with wbito flowers. As wo entered, the porter stepped outside to do something to the lamp, which did not burn properly, while I went forward with the women and gently turned back thc sheet from the poor, dead face. The two women were too much ab sorbed-the ono with her grief and the other with ber smypathy-to take any notice of me. So I, remembering a poor little waif who had died in my arms a day or two before, and think - iug I should like to seo him again, for I had grown to love tho little mother less creature, picked up tho lantern from the floor and went in search of my little patient. It was some time before ? found him, and, after im printing a kiss on the small, pitiful face, I went to look at the new post mortem room, which had lately been fiuished, and which I had not seen. I was walking round, the light of the lantern gleaming weirdly on tho white tiles which liued tho walls and floor, when I suddenly heard a door bang. Without knowing exactly what had happened, 1 shivered with apprehen sion and my flesh crept uneasily. In a moment I had flown through tho mortuary and into the chapel. Too Ikte ! The door was shut and all was in darkness ! In a moment I knew what had hap pened. The porter, supposing that I had gono and left the visitors to him, had turned out the gas, locked the door and gone away with them. Oh, it was too horrible! I beat ou the door with both my tist3. I raised my voico in a fearful scream, but that was worse than tho awful silence, for the hollow walle took up tho sound and the mocking echo came back to mc as if the dead were shrieking in their places. I sank to my knees on tho damp stouesaud covered my face with my bauds. The building stood far away from any other; the blustering wiud would prevent my voice being beard even had I the courage to shout again, which I had not ; uo one would be in tho grounds in such weather as this; 7 should not 1>G missed. In tho ward I should bo supposed, being off duty, to be in my own room. Nurse Flem ming, iniwfing me from the supper tubb-, would imagino that I bail gone to bed, and would probably retire without, as she thought, disturbing me. I glanced at tho lantern ; how loi would it burn? Could I depend on i light lasting till dawn? I lookod the trolley with its cold, still b?rde then, with a mighty effort, I crossi the chapel, and seizing the end of tl ghastly carriage whirled it quickly i to the large mortuary. With as mm strength as my arms still possessed sent it into the darkness and flt back into the dimly-lighted chap( closing the door behind me. Now, at least, I was alone, wi nothing more unearthly than whi flowers and a large ebony cross wbi< hung against the wal!. Sinking dov into the corner most remote from tl inner door, wrapping ray shawl clos ly round my shivering shoulders, placed the lantarn beside me ar 16trove vainly to think of pleasai things. But all in vain! My eyes won keep glancing round at the horrib door. My ears would strain thee 6elves so listen for sounds from tl silent room. Oh, I should go mac I could not bear it ! How wickec how cruel ! that no ono came to see me! What was that? Tho grei clock at the entrance was strikint Onet two!-bnt no, 6even ! eighi then silence. Only 8 o'clock ! On! two hours Kineo I ran through tb garden to fetch tue stimulants! Almost involuntarily I slipped m hand iuto my apron pocket. Yoi thero wero tho two bottles, carofnll wrapped ronnel with my handkerchiel as 1 had put them. Whether I fell asleep or not I hav never since been ablo to determine but when I roused from tho scmi-cor eciousness into which I had fallen, se\ eral hours appeared to have elapsed Instead of the dim light of the lantcr at my side, the chapel was flooded wit silver moonlight. In spite of my thic shawl, I was fearfully cold and crampe with leaning so long against tho chill; stones. I was awaro that 6omethin had roused me ; something beside moonlight and discomfort. A glano at the skylight ovorhead showed m the moon sailing calmly through th dark, blue vault of heaven, surroundei by fleecy clouds ; and even as I looke: and listened, tho great clock strucl I wo. For nearly sis hours I hal lain un couscious in that awful place. Th fact did not tend to bring me comfort I felt sick and ill, my limb3 ached the black cross, touched by the moon beams, loomed dork and awful agains the whito wai). Oh, to dio and forge everything! What was that? A sound -a groan ! Ob, Heaven J cominf from the other side of that inner door 1 hid risen to my feet, but now '. sank back, frozen with horror, inte tho sheltering corner. For a few mo meuts silence, then it carno again. '. listened-a low, long moon-but t< my confused bruin it was not the hoi low, unearthly groan of the stage ghosl such as we aro wont to associate witl rattling chains and lurid bluo fire, bul rather tho groan of a human creature in pain. As soon as this idea tools possession of my weakened mind, my courage rcturuod. All my nursc-liki instincts came to ray aid. The thought that a living humai being was near, much more a fellow creature who ncedid help, filled me with new energy, and I roso and took up my lantern. What I expected to find I hardly know; perhaps some workmen who had beau assisting with the new building had fallon asleep, or been overcome with drink, and shut in, like myself, throngh misadven ture. How improbable a theory this was did not, fortunately, occur to me until long afterward, andi opened tho door and looked into tho dark inte rior. At the sound of the opening door- the groaniug cea3ed, and for awhile I stood, uncertain which direc tion to take. Presently a movement at the fur ther end decided me, and I made my way slowly round the stone ledges, casting the light of the lantern on the ground as I went. No sign of a hu man figuro could 1 soe. No British workman's recumbent form gladdened my eyes. I stood still, in perplexity. Oh, heavens! uhat was that? Close beside me, not yet placed in a shell, but lvingon the stone slab, lay a long, still figure. Still ! Oh. horror ! As I looked, unablo to stir, I saw tho white 6hect that covered it move-a long, thin hand pushed itself from beneath and almost touched me. All my former experienco was nothing to this. In a moment tho lingers had pulled tho sheet from the face, and a pair of dark eyes gazed into mine ! How long I stood thus I shall nover know. At length, a long, quivering sigh from tho whito lips called me to myself, and I gathered courage to bend over and touch tho prostrate form. Enough ! Tho sp- '.i was broken ! I knew then that this was no timo to hesitate-no time to give way to wom anish fears. I took tho cold hand in mine. "Do not fear," I 6aid, in as calm a voice as I could command, "I will do all I can for you;" and, taking tho 3hawl from my shoulders, I folded it round the shivering form. Instinc tively. I remembered the bottles in my pocket, and, drawing them forth, drojjped a little brandy between tho chattering teeth. After a while the returning color in the lips, tho in creasing warmth of tho limbs, told mo that my efforts had not been in vain. Oh, if I could only summon aid ; but that was impossible ! If 1 could keep life in my compauion, my patient, until help arrived ! . Fortunately, my shawl was a large, warm one ; fortun ately, old No. 20 hod not got his brandy, but I had it safely here. "WheroamI?" asked the man, as ho looked round tho dim place, his face full of surprise-and no wonder, for his surroundings had, to say tho least, au unusual appearance. I did not think it wiso or necessary to ex plain mattera more than to tell him ho was in St. Alban's Hospital, and would soon, doubtless bo well. Ho told me what I had already guessed, that in traveling on foot through the suow he had been overtaken by intonso fatigue, and being unable to overcome the drowsiness ho knew might bo fatal, he had fallen asleep. "It's a wonder I'm not dead," ho concluded, and I made no answer. I had been so absorbed in my work that I had taken no account of the hours as they went by, until now I heard tho clock riug out six ! Oh, tho joy of that sound ! We kept curly hours at St. Alban's, and at six o'clock we were expected to risc. I should be missed, sought for and found ! I was shivering and sick. Tho mun had fallen into a doze, from which I could not find it in my heart to rouse him, louely and misurablo as I felt. Oh, how cold it was ! My thin cotton dress was Beauty covering from the icy air. How brag would it be before they found me? Would they .sock long before they thought of tho mortuary? Would they think ol' tho mortuary at all? tfow thsso thought* tormented mo, chasing each other through my aching bruin until, at lust, a sound of a key turning in the lock-the voice of my I dear nurse companion saying, in be wildered tones, "She cannot be here, porter. " Then the whole place spnn round, and I &aw and heard no more. It was long before 1 returned to my work. Pneumonia set i^. and foi weeks I was too ill to leave my bed. Tenderly was I nursed and much was I praised for what they were pleased to call my bravery. My pa tient, I learned, had recovered and was full of gratiiude for his strange rescue from an untimely end. The case of "suspended animation" was much talked of among the doctore, and the medical men took it up with in terest. "You saved his life, you know," said the nurses to me, appar ently to console mo for my unpleas ant experiences ; and the patienthim self has told me the samo thing a hun dred times sine 3 that day, for I am now his wife.-Strand Magazine. WORDS OF tVISDOX. Prudence is a plug to prosperity. An army is a great monster with a head, but no heart. No man can be happy without shar ing it with somebody. Cupid is a physician who never takes his own medicine. A dead beat that is hatched from laziness is of few days and full of trouble. Some men will "bet you ten dol lars" when they aro at the encl of their argument. The man who becomes a successful hypocrite has to work at it every day! in tha. week. Hate is two points with poison tips -one toward your enemy the other toward yourself. There is no pkco Uko home, and that is why so many men spend their evenings down town. It takes some pcoplo a whole lifo time to find out that no dollar is big enough to give on hour's happiness. There are two sides to every ques tion, top and bottom ; and the man ou the bottom side is liable to be crashed. As a rule, women say almost every thing elso of a woman who is engaged except that she is too young to marry. Some people never want certain things until they seo others anxious for them and then they want them bad. Tho man who falls in love with s pretty faco alone, gets over his disap pointment as soon as the pretty face grows old. . One of the most imoortant, but one of tho most difficult things for a pow erful mind, is to be its own master; a pond may lie quiet in a plain, but' a lake wants mountains to compass and hold it in. A Novelist's Story. Mr. Frankfort Moore was for many years one of the leading journalists of Belfast, before ho took the English literary world by storm with his suc cession ot brilliant books-so brill iantly paradoxical in subject and phrase-"I Forbid the Banns," "A Gray Eye or So," and "One Fair Daughter." His "Journalist's Note Book" is full of good stories of his experiences; but thc other night ho told me ons which has never yet seen daylight on paper. A slim, fair-haired young man, al most a boy, called on him and sent in his card as Mr. Archibald Clavoring Gunter. Mr. and Mrs. Moore hap pened to bo familiar with tho huge, curly, Max O'Bellish appearance of tho author of "Mr. Barnes of New York," but they welcomed the visitor none the less, though Mrs. Moore was at pains not to leave them alone, for sho intuitively grasped what the pseudo Gunter wanted. So things went on till it was timo for Mr. Moore to go to his office. The stranger fol lowed him there. Of course, he wanted money, and when Mr. Moore suggested that the American Consul would be glad to assist so distin guished a fellow-countryman, he ex plained that he and that fnnctionary had taken opposite sides in the Civil War, so he was afraid he Tvould haye to ask Mr. Moore to lend it to him. "Pd bo delighted to do so, my dear fellow," said Mr. Moore, with his ready Irish wit, as tho office boy ap peared in answer to his ring to show tho visitor out, "but the fact is, you haven't told me who you are." He pointed to a print of tho real Archi bald, but the stranger had fled.-Lon don Queen. ^^^^^^ Daniel Webster ou tho Great West. When wo think of tho toeming popu lation which now fills many portions of our country west of tho Eocky Mountains, audromomberhowfamous, all over tho world, ia their singular beauty, and their incomparable value to tho tourist, tho health seeker, tho agriculturist and the horticulturist, as well as thc miner, it is interesting to read what so intelligent a states man as Daniel Webster thought of them just fifty years azo, and to know that hi3 views wero shared by many other prominent public men of the time. In a speech delivered in tho United States Sonate in 1844, with re gard to the proposal that a mail ser vico should bo established between Missouri and the Pacific coast, Web ster said : "What do we want with this vast worthless area, this region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts, of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cac tus and prairie dogs? To what use could we ever hope to put these great deserts, or theso endless mountain ranges, impenetrable, and covered to their bases with eternal snow? What can we over hope to do with the west ern coast, a coast of thrco thousand miles, rock-bound, cheerless and un inviting, with not a harbor on it? What use have wo for such a country? Mr. President, I will never voto ono cent from tho public treasury to plaoe tho Pacific coast ono inch nearer Bos ton than it is to-day."-Scientifio American. A Kind Voice. There is no power of lovo so hard to get and to keep as a kind voice. A kind hand is deaf and dumb. It may bo rough iu flesh and blood, yet do tho work of a soft heart, and do it with a soft touch. But there is no one thing that love so much needs as a sweet voico to tell what it means and feels ; and it is hard to got and keop it in tho right tone. One must start in youth, und bo on the watch night and day, at work and at play, to get ami keep a voice that shull speak at all times the thoughts of a kimi heart. It is often in youth that one gets n voico or a tone that is sharp, and it sticks to him through life, and stirs np ill will and grief, and falls like a drop of gall on the sweets of homo. Watch it day by day us a pearl of great price, for it will bo worth moro to you in days to como than the best pearl hid in tho sens. A kind voico is to the heart what light is to the eye. lt is H light that sings as well as shines.-Elihu Burritt. BUDGET OE FUN. HUMOROUS SKETCHES FR031 VARIOUS SOURCES.

There is quite a difference of opinion among recognized authorities as to the usefulness of tho after-dinner nap. Some of these people claim that the merest dropping off to sleep is much better than the heavy, undisturbed re pose in which somo temperaments seem inclined to indulge. In this matter, as in almost every thing else in thc world, difference in constitution, condition and circum stances is lost sight of. As a general rule, it may be said that whoever falls asleep and sleeps long and heavily does so because tho system has need of that sort of rest. Sleep is a com modity that docs not como by will, but on the most imperativo demand of nature. People who work hard, cither mentally or physically, who are in any way overtaxed or exhausted by effort of any kind, must in some way restore tho nervous balance, and in no way is this so readily and satisfactorily done as by long continued and undisturbed sleep, if the individual can indulge in it. There are few things more coveted than the ability to sleep quietly and naturally, and it is very rare indeed that one gets too much of this kind of ropose. To be sure, there aro persons of sluggish habit and people who are given to over indulgence at the table which is productive of inaction and an almost continuous sleepy condition, but these are exceptions rather than the rule. Thc masses of people sleep too little, and it is scarcely worth while, save in exceptional cases, to curtail tho hour3 that nature demands for this most efficient means of restora tion. Above all things should chil dren and young persons, those under twenty especially, bo given all the op portunity consistent with their occu pation and oducation for untroubled sleep. Tho fact that nature demands a thing is most excellent reason for granting it. "Porty winks" may do very well for some temperaments, but it is by no means to be recommended to persons who are in any degree weary or overworked.-New York Ledger. $7500 For a Sot of Teeth. A well known firm of bankers in London have just mado a profitable investment. Some time ago a man who had defrauded them of a largo sum of money was taken into custody, convicted and sentenced to a long term of penal servitude. As may be imagined, the prison fare did not agree with a man who had by means of fraud lived on the fat of tho land. Tho change affected him iii many ways, but he complained more particularly of the effect tho ford had upon his teeth. They were n^u num erous or in good condition when ho was sentenced, and as 'hey rapidly be came worse he applied to the Gover nor of tho prison for a new set. He was told that the Government did not supp'y prisoners with artifi cial teeth, ?.nd at the first opportun ity he w^ote to the oauking firm in question offering, if they would send him a new set, to give them some val uable information. Thereupon the bankers, thiuking tho offer might be a genuine one, sent tho Governor of tho prison a check for $25, and askod him to provide tho convict with a set of artificial teeth. In due course the convict kept his promise, and sent the bankers certain information, by means of which they were enablod to recover no less thau $7500 of which they had been defraud ed. They naturally regarded this as tho best investment they had ever male, but it proved even better than antici pated, for they h ivojust received from tho prison authorities a remittance of $5, tho teeth having cost only $20. London Tit-Bits. Japanrs?! Shops. Thc Japanese shop is like a big and highly ornamental box, with one side knocked out-the side toward tho 8troet. Especially valuable goods are not exposed in tho shops, but kept iu godowns or safe deposit vanlts, to be brought out wheu wanted, but in most shops the whole stock can be seen from tho street. If the purchaser is in a hurry he simply sits down on the edge of thc floor, which projects over the street-there is no sidewalk and calls for what he wants. For purchases of greater momo ut he cn ten the ehop, squats cross-legged, and is treated to tea by the salesrnau. Not only can ono seo whatever goes on in a Japauese shop, but even in a homo there is no privacy. If it is night, and tho sliding shutters of culed paper aro drawn, the lamp light throws strong shadows of tho people within on tho opaque shades, aud shows precisely what all are doing. Some say that this lack of privacy en courages in the Japanese their polite ways. They are always on their good behavior.-New York Becorder, True Confidence. Virgil, describing a boat race, says of the winning crew : "They are able, because they think themselves able. M. de Lesseps, tho engineer of tho Suez Canal, took for his motto at tho commencement of th*<t great work, "Believe that you eau and you will." He was convinced of the need of tho work, he fairly estimated the obstacles in tho way, ho studied the methods of overcoming them and he built the canal. This is true confidence, in contradistinction from vain confi dence.-Youth's Companion. Thc longest submarine cable is that from Brest to St. Pierre, placed in 1809, measuring 5033 kilometres, In Southern Hospitals. Some conception of the magnitude of the labora performed in field and hoBpital service by the officers of the medical corps of the Confederate army may be formed by the consideration of the following general results : Yoar..

The number of cases of wounds and diseases treated in the Confederate field and general hospitals were, how ever, greater during tho following twenty-two months, ending April, 1865. It is safo to affirm, therefore, that more than 3,000,000 cases of wounds and diseases were cared for by the officers of the medical corps of the Confederate army dnring the civil war of 1861-'65. Tho figure of course do not indicate that the Confederacy had in the field an army approaching 3,500,000. On tho contrary the Con federate forces engaged during the war, 1861-1865, did not exceed 600,000. Each Confoderato soldier was on an average, disabled for greater or lesser period, by wounds and sickness, about six times during the war.-Galveston Netts. Tho Melaphono. This is an improvement on the tele phone. The instrument originated in tho * sst, and by its use it is said that the human voice can be heard over a mile. A dispatch from Cincinnati, O., states that the Melaphono was tested on a steamboat and that the pilot talked with parties on cither shore with the greatest ease and distinctness. It ia regarded by the steamboat men of great value in river traffic. ?Thc Royal Baker Ile Was Desperate.

Take a clean piece of old bleached cloth, wet it in .?ne gasoline and rub quickly all over the waist, rubbing tho silk length wise. Wipe the silk over with a clean dry cloth and hang in tho open air for the odor of the cleaning fluid to evap orate. If wrinkled, press tho silk on the wronk side with a moderately warm iron, first laying a cloth over its surface. This kind of cleauing will remove all grease and much grime, thounh not all kinds of spots. Car pets and furniture coverings aro often greatly improved by denning them in the same way.

Old Trees. There is an interest in old trees which seems to be a never-failing topic of discussion. The oldest tree or the biggest tree in any country is sure to have a reputation hardly equaled by any other local curiosity. Old peo ple, too, lovo to talk of these familiar topics, and their children after them repeat with pleasure the queer old sto ries and ideas about "the old trees" which still live, whilo everyone else grows old and drops away forgotten. Here is a practical argument to the young of tho present generation to plaut trees for all futurity. They may fall from the ranks of life at any time, but the trees they planted bear their names on for years with many a pre cious memory. And of all old trees none are so fraught with reminiscences as old fruit trees. Everyeno who has planted a fruit tree is a benefactor, and long after the planter has gone to his last rest and beeu forgotten, somo one, gratoful for tho fruits which bo enjoys, will ask, "Who planted that old tree?"-Farmer's Voice. nOTHERS recovering from the illness at tending child birth, or who suf fer from the ef 'fects of disorders, derangements and displace ments of thc wo manly organs, will find relief and a permanent cure in Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. Taken during pregnancy, the "Prescription" HAKES CHILDBIRTH EASY by preparing the system for parturition, thus assisting Naturs and shortening "labor." The painful ordeal of child birth is robbed of its terrors, and the dangers thereof greatly lessened, to both mother and child. The period of con finement is also greatly shortened, the mother strengthened and built up, and an abundant secretion of nourishment for the child promoted. HOTEL CUMBERLAND Cumberland Island, Ca.

Just before they reached the village in question thc husband of the sick woman alighted on 6ome pretext or other, but did not roturn; and after driving into thc village the medico found nobody who needed his assist ance.
