" I live to learn their story, Who've suffered for my sake, To emulate their glory, And follow in their wake; Bards, martyrs, pttriots, sages, The nobles of all ages, Whose doeds crown history's pages, And time's great volume make. I live to bail that season By gifted minds untold, When men shall live by reason, Aad not alone for gold, When man to man united, And every wrong thing righted, The whole world Yhall be lighted As Eden was of old. e I love to hold communion With all that is divine, To feel that there is union T'wixt nature's heart and mine; To profit by uffiletion, I Reap trath from flelds of fAction, Grow wi:er from conviction Fulfilling Goda design.

A LOTUS DREAM. -o Sitting by the fire in dreamy languor on a dull October evening Over against. the window pane or which the sleet is weaving fan tastic fgures, stands a girlish fig ure stamping her foot and looking out on the dull, leaden colored sky. The crispy logs burn bright ly, and man as I am and thirty, I turn to watch the fair profile at the window. By and by shc comes toward me, and stands by my side, w:i ming her fair hand4 - at the fire. They are symmetri. S cal hands, white and smal; hei bosom rises and falls, ,nd a sig as centle as the zephyr winde it summer goes out and away. Be fore me is the picture of a fair lady I of' twenty-three, and by my sid( on the table is a letter to her . ~have jnst finished. I show it tc Uthe little maiden arnd she readr and sighs again. Then she says 'Yuare going down there ant Syou and Miss Lulie will marry s- sure enoug(h, Mr. Walter. Anc yoll bring her back here ant akeep this room. And when yoi - come, I would liite to be a crawling around the ceiling.' I 'Why, Pappoose ?' S'To watch your happiness; ant Stickle your noses, perhaps.' Ant away she flew, to help hor main ma about her household duties. C. The scene is in the South land no matter where, I am a writel gathering up incidents for an at ticle in a leading mnagazine, or a Sleast I came here for that purpose Sand have prolonged my stay in d definitely. I have stopped with y widow lady, Mrs. Mahonis, an< Laura is her only child, whom. have nicknamed Pappoose. Witi Southern precocity, she is a womnal op while yet a child. Fair complex e. ion, with dark hair and passion a ate, dreamy eyes, she is pictur< an artist would love for a model and a picture I love tor its owi sake. o Too young to understand suce e love, her mother said to ms t< day. 'I never intend Laura shal smarry until she is twenty-two.' SY And my heart sank, for at thought it should not be so. * I have been carrying on a cor a respondence with a friend in mn re native village, a widow, and t show all my letters to Pappoose Et She is the Lulic I am soon t< rty visit. at Loved, practical winter, witi the shadows of night about it November with her scre ieaves a nd chill winds about us. Insid th.e rooms of a pleasant mansior e, Lulie is attired in a seal browl satin, with the glory of roses i nher dress, the glory ot lilies in he hair. I have just arrived, and g about the ball-room with Lulie on my arm. I am proud of her and she of me; and though there are no wedded vows between us, I wonder if my little Pappoose shall ever be a fly, and crawl around our rooms. No, I love the child with the dark hair and the dreamy eyes beLter than I do Lu-lie. Out in the conservatory, with the perfume of exotic plants about uS, the warm air of a hot house to comfort us, I say : 'Lulie, you have been good to me, and I thought I loved you, but I don't, my friend. Yours is not the love that would make my restless life happy. I love a child -a child-woman, fair, dark-eyed and dreamy, better than I do you., 'Oh, Walter, ti I My poor heart will break. Listen.' And I heard the blood beat in her heart like the echo of a tiny cat aract. She lays her head upon my shoulder, she throws her fair arms about my neck, and I forget my child love. 'Walter, you do not mean it! My dream has been such a happy one ' And her head nestled closer to my bosom-and tears hung like dow drops on the fringed eye lids. What can I do ? A fly crawl ing about the room changed into a black-eyed, dark-haired little < darling, and I put Lulie away i from nme gently. 'Lulie, I mean it. Forget the I past; try to forget me.' She shivers just a little. The tear drops dry up like an April shower. There is a tremulous motion about the lips, and a soft- i ly spoken 'good-by,' and she is 1 gone. February has come. I am again t in my village retreat. Pappoose E is just afteen, I an lounging on I the gallery watching the fairy . figure making snowballs in the i yard. This time she is very shy of me. I have been here a week, I and save a few hurried words, have not spoken to her; and yet E I came solely on her account. I 1 begin to wonder if I had made a fool of myself, and if some village i boy has already won her heart. i I am nervou, excitable and pas- I sionate and sitting here, watching I the sweet profile, the studious brow, the long lashes and the I wealth of raven tresses coveringi her- like a mantle, I get mad, i oemychair, and walk away to I the stable to my dear old Dan, a I gallant roadster, and am soon sw~eeping away madly down-the rough village road. Man, and such a fool ! A pleasant ride changes my thon'ghts, and I come back toi meet Pappoose on the gallery,with< a tiny nosegay, which she offers, -an d says: 'Let me pin this on your coat. it may keep you in a good hu-1 mor.' 'How did you know I was an gry, or in a bad humor ?' 'Look at that chair;' and she -walks over, picks up my fallen I chair, sets it down straight with a thud, and with an air of intense anger, stamping her pretty foot, she says, 'Thbere now !' Then, breaking into a ringing laugh, she trips away. After she leaves I am stillI standing on the gallery, leaning against a post, whipping myself with my riding whip, when out in] the road in front of the house whom do I see but Pappoose on Dan, galloping wildly down the road ! If the horse is tired there is no danger whatever ; but if he is not, and gets the least bit ex cited, he will kick her. I start to stop her, hat she has passed in a minute. I go in to see her mo-j ther. She only says: 'Don,'t fret yourself. If any body onI earth can ride him she can.' An hour afterward she is broughit in limp and helpless and bleeding from a wound in her fore ehead. A plain room, with plain paper decorations. A cheerful fireside, an old-fashioned hearth, and a cozy iarm chair in which I am seated1 Salone. No, not quite alone :;for1 )n a downy couch over against the window pane, where she first ;tamped her pretty feet, lies my ittle Pappoose, pale and thin and 5ad. She is sleeping now, her oose hair, like ashadowy covering, bides the fringed eyelids, and one air arm is thrown over her head. )ntside it is snowing, cold and )itter. Her mother has left me ;o watch her a niornent. She has )een very low, 'Dan having hrown her on a rock and almost -rusbed her tender skull. 'Con -ussion of the brain,' the doctors aid. Five days we have watch )d and waited, and she is still un onscious. The weary hours we watch over >ur loved ones, ill or dying, are he most miserable of our lives. Eow we tremble at the senseless lance of the eye, the glow or >allor of the cheek, thc wild mut. erings of discontented dreams of Jeliriurm! But to-day the weariness passed Lway as I heard Pappoose turn on er couch and say 'Mr. Walter!' Quick as thought I am by her ide, and her band is in mine. 'Where is mamma?' 'She is down stairs, little Pap >oose.' 'Why are you watching me?' 'Iecause I love you, Pappoose. 'Won't mamma do it ?' 'Yes, she has just left you. You lon't care for me staying with you, lo you ?' 'How long have you been ere ?' 'Only a few minutes. 'You hd better go way. I am vel.' I go out in the cold. I can't inderstand it. I believe Pap. oose loves me, but she is so art ess and childish in her manner, hat I cannot tell. For some rea on I dare not ask her. I feel urt, and yet I know not why. ier mother asked me to remain n the room a few minutes while he was sleeping. Was it maiden nodesty, or does she dislike me? I walked up the street with the now drifting in my face, a north vind twisting my hair into curls vitb its cold fierceness. Two men n front of me, muffled up in warm ilsters, are talking rapidly as they iurry tbrough the coid. One of emI says: 'She's a good one. That young llow Bascom thinks he has got t all his own way ; but wait till e goes and she'll come back to ne quickly. Laura loves me bet er than anybody else in the vorld.' My name is Walter Bascomn, ~nd Pappoose's name is Laura. ky jealous fancy makes the ap~ lication immediately. I follow ,hem up, and stop the first ac uaintance 1 meet to ask the ames of the two men. One is a ~ambler, the other, who spoke of laura. is the keeper of a variety .beatre in the town ; his name is oyce. Maddened with pain and an guish, I retrace my steps. I find lara sitting up in bed, miuch >etter. She is not unkind, but says: 'Mr. Walter, 1 beg your par Ion; I am very grateful for your indniess to me.' I am feeling mean, and I say: 'I would be glad to see you ooking so well, but it seems Mr. Foyce would be better pleased.' How the dear, tender face, the iteo'rs wail come back to me af. ~er the lapse of years. She droope >ver like a flower cot down. Her areathinig is faint, and we can see ~he pnlsations through the recent ound. Poor little Pappoose ! She never spoke again. She is dead now nd 1 never knew and never shall know whether my unkindnese kiiled her or not. It seems~ like a dream from n bich I have awakened. The vil. age is but a memory, the church yard where Laura lies a myth and Lulie, who is my wife now kisses the sadness from my browi and says: 'It wvas a dream, Walter-i lotus dream.'

He has been more 04 than a quarter of a century in the h business, and is very proud of his M skill. He may claim, indeed, that E no failure or difficulty has oc. h curred in any case that came un- bi der his hands. This man is Dep- bi uty Sheriff George W. Isaacs. It it is said that the name is assumed b in order to protect the family fi from notoriety, but I do not be- bi lieve the statement. He was d, Deputy Isases before he became ti the hangman, and the last-men- r( tioned service came to him in di. fc rect connection with his official ai duty. He did it so well that be was l employed on the next painful oc- W casios, and in this manner he has ti been retained until the present k day. Isaac's first execution in- w deed gave him a reputation. Two fc river pirates (Howlet and Saul) e, were to suffer, and the case was st one of great importance. The W prisoners were well-known despe- s1 radoes, and had, while attempting ti to rob a vessel at midnight, mur- 0 dered the watchman. Thev had b< also been polit.cal bullies, and at t the scene of execution shook t( hands with Tom Hayer, Bill 0 Poole and other old associates. vi Beginning with Howlet and g Saul in 1853, Isaacs has assisted in P executing the following mur 0" derers: James L. Hoar, John U Dorsey, ' James Rogers, James d Stephens, John Crummin, Na- d tbaniel Gordon, William Hawkins, IC John Reynolds, Bernard Friery, al George Wagner, Jerry O'Brien, S( John Real, John ."homas, William b Foster, Michael Nixon, John Do, st Ian and recently Cox and Balbo. it All of these suffered in the Tombs except Gordon, who was taken to Bedloe's island, as his crime was punished under Federal law. Isaacs has also been called to su perintend executions in other places, anc one of his most im- p] portant jobs was the Otero mur derers. He has told me some of the factR connected with these al painful scenes, each of which 1 deeply impressed on his memory. His fee is from $150 to $250. T which may seem large, but when the sheriff receives #1,500 the ti handsome fee. He adopts theb method practiced by iMarwood,e the famous London hangman, of placing the knot under the chin fe instead of at the ear, since (as he a claims)' it is more effective, pro-. ducing death by instantaneous strangulation. Isaacs always interviews tbe3 prisoner in time to estimate height and weight, and provides a t rope of corresponding strength. e His favorite material is Italian A hemp, and the cord (which is usuaily half-inch) is saturated in 5 a chemical fluid prepared by him- t self. It is then slushed so as to9 be as pliable as a silk thread. t Tfhose facts show how closely c Isaacs has applied himself to thisg fearful trade. ?No Jew has ever suffered the death penalty, but Isaacs once had great expectation tI of hanging Rubenstein. The lat- a: ter, however, died in his cell a few a' days before the day fixed for exe- ti cution. The Jews are not corn- d bative or murderous, and the e, crimes which may be laid to their a charge are chiefly for the sake of v gain. Isaacs told me that the ft most reckless men he ever saw ti under such circumstances were tha r< Spaniards Gonzales and Pellicier, b wbo murdered Otero in order to t: obtain his money. One of them ti exclaimed, as he approached the e gallows: 'Me no care.' James b Rogers was the youngest person y be ever hung. his agre being only y eighteen. He murdered a man p whom he had u3ever seen betore in t a street brawl. Among the most t thoroughly iepraved cases that t came under his hand were the d wife murderer, William E. Foster, a the car-hook murderer, and the above-mentioned river thieves, Howlett and Saul.-New York ni nrrespndent Troy Times. g WASHING AwAtY THE EARTH, o particle of sand which g( >wn into the sea ever con ick.

It costs time, in the first place, -da5. 7 weeks and months of it; in fac about all the time be has, for no man can be a first class loafer ld without devoting his whole tim en to it.
