H) ENEV'ER I find a woman who can travel without a thousand and one packages, baskets, shawls and bundles. and be willing to carry something herself with out leaving them all for me, I'll fall at her feet instanter and ne. er get up until she sets the wedding day. Po you gi.ls think a fel low's all hands, or do von intend to tie these to my back and around my shoulders? 0, women are a nuis ance, anvhow!" It was just like good-natured John Reed to grumble and scold, and do twice as much as was a-ked, and as nobody ever minded him more than to say, "Now, Jack, you don't mean that." he went on his way, full of quirks and oddities, and vet with a hears soft as a gentle woman's. He had three romping, laughing school-girls under his charge, and so completely had they loaded him down with luggage that he had grumbled and fussed ever since they had started, much to the amusement of the young ladies who were used to his ways. At the last moment a gentleman called Mlr. 1:eed as de and asked if he would be so kind as to take charge of his sister, who was en route for the city to take a position as teacher in a large school there. In response to the introduction, "Miss Carlton, Mr. leed," she only bowed, and then turned f- r a last good-by to her brother. Jack looked about him in dismay, frightened at the idea of an addition to his load, but could see nothing but a gray shawl snugly strapped, which she carried easily. Her traveling costume was neat and perfectly fitting, and there was an air of tid ness and composure about her that just pleased John's taste exactly. He was listening intently to what Miss Carlton said, but when she ceased turned to Etle's side with some jesting remark about an entirely foreign sub ject, and when the girls had a chance to teaze him about "this lady who had no luggage for him to carry," he only 'snswered in his solemnly ludicrous 4tyle, "Time will show, time will show." After a time the day grew hot and the way dusty, and, tired and worn out, the girls 'lost their liveliness and were content to lie back amuong the cushions and sleepily let the time glide~ away. Poor JTack, left to himself, sought MIiss Carlton, expecting to see another "faded tiower," as he emphat ically declared each of his charges to be. On the contrary, she was wide awake, fresh as when they left home, no trace of weariness or fatigue on the bright face that was lifted from the book when he came to her. She was: one of those women that dust seems to have no allinity for. "A tidy. neat body," as the old folks call themi, "who always look as if just out of a band box." She quietly cleared away her things from the adjoining seat and they were soon chatting away as though they had been friends for years, instead of the chance acquaintances of a few hours. Her voice was sweet and clear, and her language was refined and cultivated, and her manners were so free from all affectation, that John .ielt a composure and a relief from em barrassment in her presence that he sarely enjoyed when with other women. The truth was he was in love; and the girls, fully awake now thaos there was something to interest them, were not 101 g in understanding the case, and now prepared to tease most heartily 4 "dear old fellow," who was as 'n1as a schoolboy. ua; at..l the city was reached. and after seeing his party' a o t the academy John went home to his board ing house, so abstracted that he was unconscious. of the grreetasin . old friends- Wnen alone' there shone be fore him those clear hazel eyes, into whose depths he had looked that day for the first time, but that would ever be remembercd. A fair face framed in nut-brown hair, with a smooth brow, and faintly tinted cheeks, made a picture for his memory that he sought to recall clearer and more vividly ho' r by hour. "A woman who could take care of herself" h-:d always been a boasted prodigy that he had challenged his girl friends to find, and now that he had known this quiet, demure teacher, he was still dissatisfied. Seeing that she was self-reiiant, lie was anxious to teach her to lean upon him, and know ing her ability to take her place among the world's workers, he longed to shel ter her in his own home and toil fot her. that she might not labor. Be shrank from the thought of her being alone, and, with a gre at gush of love and as' mpathy, remembering his *wn solit try life, yearned to enfold her with a tender atrection that should know no wearmness. But as the weeks lengthened into months, and the months rolled away, the aistan' e seemed to lengthen be tween them, and the girls who watched with intense interest the wooing, used to laugh and tell him he did not know how to "court a lady." "Just ask her, John, if she'll have you. That's the way. 01 you need not pretend that you don't intend to some day. Why, you might as well pretend ignorance of your own exist ence. You'd give the world if she would say 'yes,' and yet you are not brave enough to try." Siiss Carlton received his attentions as she might those of a brother, qulietly and yet with no affected reserve. She was 'always glad to meet him, but her manner was~ always po ite to :ll, and her urbanity uniform, and without seemling to avoidl him, she never gave him an opportunity for anything nearer and more confidential than she did other young men. John w~.as sorelyi nnnlad in nndorstand her Hi knowl. edge of women, either society belles br school girls; was t .tally ditferent to the wars of this little woman who was either iho!lv unconscious of his love, or a flirt skilled in all of the arts o1 coquetry, and using her experience with a master hand to keep him close enough to charm him. and yet far enough to chill any declaration of love. One day the girls burst into his office with a shout. "Some news. -ack, for you. You might as well give up now. You'll never get her. No use crying, either. You will have to accept one of us now, and so you might as well be binding ip your wounded aflctions. We brought you a sprig of willow; that's what forlorn maidens and lovers wear." "Now, girls, it's unfair to get a fel low excited this, way. Who is this mivsterious 'she.' and What shall I wear the willow for? A handful of candy te the one that tells the plainest, most easily understood story. Proceed, Ethie; (race and May are busy steal ing my lead-peneils." -:\ow, Jack, you know we mean Miss Carlton. She's the only woman you ever loved, and I don't wonder you like her. She's the only teacher that we grls can bear, and ve all just worship her. Why yesterday, when we were watching for you, Grace got to talking about vou; she's always at that. I believe she wants yon herself, but she won't get you. You always did be'ong to me, didn't you, Jack? Bob your head-yes-well, ther. she told Miss Carlton how yon despised women who c'ould not lcok out for themselves, and how you scolded us for having always such a lot of baggage. And then we all told her about that day she came in with us, and what you had said about courting the first woman you saw who carried no extra luggage. A nd I said, 'Well, whoever gets -Jack ieed will have an easy time, for lie's rich . and (rac" snapped ri up with, '\es. and somebodv'll take him for that, too.' Miss Carlton's cheeks tushed-ain't she pretty when she blushes, .'aek? :md she said, taking her lockct from the r.bbon, 'Here is a dear, good ian, girls,' and oh ! the prettiest face you e.er saw; if he wasn't her bean I'd have him. And then she pushed that little old-fashioned pearl ring farther back on her finger. and sighed. Arid when May asked her if it was her brother sie said, 'Oh, no! but he is very dear.'" Jack's tawny mustache concealed the firmly shut lips, but the wrinkles came in his forehead, and he looked sad for a moment, but the girls kept him chat tering until, satistied with promises of an unlimited stock of candy the next time he came, they swe;:t out, taking all the sunshine with them, and leav ing the old law office, he thought, mustier and darker than eve'. So hi. day dream had had its rude awakening, his air castle was shattered and in ru-ns, and his idol the beloved of another. he had at first regretted the idle talk of the girls, but it had at least saved nim fron paining both the lady and himself by the proffer of an arfection that must have been rejected. But so completely had he given his whole heart to her that it did not swerve from her though now he knew how use-' less it was to Lope. lie had no thought of going to he to try to win from her L. response tc his pleadings. She knew who to tell that it might reach his ears as delicate Iy as possble, and having read his love by his actions, now wanteid him tc k'now how fruitless were his desires. Aad yet why had she manifested pleas ure in his 'omp)any, for though she was shy and timid vet she had seemed to enjoy his society, and had alwayS received him with at least apparent gratitication. 1iis little gifts of flowers and books or music had been accepted cordially, and, of no intrinsic value, had been carefully kept, and he had dared tc hope it might be for his sake. But that was all over now. He would gradually make his visits less frequent and in time he would fade from hex memory and then- -well, there were the girls; they at least would always be glad to see him. The winter and the spring passed rlowly by, for they all missed Jack at the academy as the long ev ening' dragged by. He came occasionally, alwaysa the same old kind fellow, and ' et they felt a change they could not describe. He was more quiet and still, and yet at times when with 3Miss Carl ton ne sex"ed to forgot hic tronbles and for awhile was the same romping, scolding "old brother," as the girls generally called him. But of late him visits were less frequent and he rarely met the little teacher, as she. too' seemed to avoid him, but when she was in the parlor, she took but little part in the convers ation. The school term wore to its close, and the girls, chattering and wild as a lot of magpies, surrounded .Johin and pleaded with him to go home with them and have a "good time." and wondered why he glanced hastily at Miss Carlton and answered, "Il go up home with you, Elsie, but I cannot sta-. I am going West in a month, but i'd like to tell your father and mother good-by." The slight form bent lower over the box and the shapely head, with its coronet of brown braids, was a little turned, but there was no sound of surprise. But the trio burst forth with amazement and grief, and protested that if "Jack went they would go, too." On the train and off for home again. No scolding from John this time, though he had enough to carry to break down a pack-horse. He gath ered up everything in h s reach and stretched out his hand for th(e gr'ay shawl, neatly strapiped, as lie remem bered it a year before, and though the owner attempted a protest, he made no reply, but took it with the re-.t. May and Eflie declared him a petrified bear, but Grace persisted in taking his part, assuring them that he was broken hearted when he thought of not being able to marry all of them, and called on Miss (Carlton for proof. "Miss Bessie, isn't that the reason? He is so selhish that the thought of anybody else getting one of us makes him m serable." But before she could say one word J'ack blurted out, with his gaze on the face before him: "That's the very rea-on." "W~ell, Jack," retorted Effie, "if you could have us all what would you do about om. 'tnps, 'Von made fuss enough last year, and now you want four women to look after. "But I don't. I only want one of you, and her 'traps' won't worry me, I promise you." And he significantly lifted the gray shawl, and, laying it across his knee, seemed to be intent on smoothing the wrinkles and creases from its folds. The girls looked at each other and then at Miss Carlton, and last but longest at Jack. He was :n enigma. The tables seemed turned, and he alone of the party was composed, the girls being all curiosity, and their compan on nervous and restless. But the conversation drifted off to other channels, and soon they were deep in a discussion of the merits of their respective photographs. Jack quietly took one of each; but looked up in Miss Carlton's face and said: "May I," Sle laughingly replied: "I hardly know. It is the only one I have, and it is promised; but I will have some more soon. I promised it to my uncle in exchange for his, which I wear in my locket. By the by, girls. would you believe he could have changed so much in three years? I should hardly have known him when he came to the s-hool to see me had I not been ex pecting hi:n. lie was so deeply in love with all of you that I suppose I shall have to call you all auntiea. He made me promise when lie gave me my locket and my ring that I would give him a good )icture; but, ne er satis tied with any that have been taken of me, I have neter done so. But there is a gool artist, brother tells me, at home." .ack leaned across the way and said, with fun and earnestness strangely blended, "May I carry your 'traps' the rest of my li;e?" The girls tried to look unconscious, but it was useless. It vwas too ludicrous, and peal after peal of hearty laughter rung out on the air, and made a spiteful old maid, sit ting a few seats away, say crossly, "A lot of school-girls, who don't know how to behave, making fun of their betters." lPut after awhile .i ack changed places with Ee, and when they were all worn and tired out, with th author ity and right that seemed but natural. lie qu'etly unstrapped the gray shawl and wrapped it about the little woman, who leaned close to him and let Ii in fix her head comfortably near his s1.-ulder. She seemed to have lost her old, i::dependent ways, and let Jack wait upon her as if he had never declred -he despised a woman who could not take care of herself." So much easier is it to p~reach than prac bice. The girls were delighte~d, and showed their joy by first hugging .Jack and then Miss Carlton, winding up with a modest petition to the former happy personage for more "chocolate cirear," which was so abundantly answered: that they were in a state of bliss for hours. T hey gave .! ack up readily, only pleading for the uncle, who had been a skeleton at the feast for so long, protesting that they must h :vP some body to love, now that dear Oiu John was to be taken from them, and with groans and laments of most woeful grief they consigned him to the care of 3iss Carlton, who insisted that they only wanted to get rid of him so they might bewitch another.

"Certainly," I reply, whereupon they lug me into one of their wine-shops and tender me glass of raki (a corrup tion of "arrack," raw, fiery spirits of the kind known among the English soldiers in India by the suggestive pseudonym; of "fixed bayonets"). Smelling the raki, I make a wry fae and shove it away ; they look surprised and order the waiter to bring cognac; to save the waiter the trouble I make mother wry face, indicative of disap proval, and suggest that he bring vishnersu. "Vishner-su!" two or three of them sing out in a chorus of blank amaze ment; " n gilis?

I wish it would stop rain ing!" whined a little boy who stood by the *indow looking out, with his face pressed closely to the pane. Certainly a little boy who could turn from so cheerful a room, where the open fire burned so brightly, so many pretty pictures and toys to tempt his faney., and such a kind, rosy-cheeked nurse always ready to play with him or tell I him stories. to gaze obstinately upon the dripping brown-stone fronts and muddy gutters of a city street must have had rather a discontented disposi tion. But Bertie had set his heart upon going to the Park that afternoon to see Mr. Crowley, the chimpanzee, and Miss Murphy, the hippopotamus, sail in Lohengrin boats, and ride the donkeys. and nothing else would satisfy him, al though he knew the whole country was suffering for want of the soft falling rain that was coming down in such a gentle, persistent way. "Oh, dear," he said again, "I wish it would never rain any more." "Bertie, dear," said his mother, "how many times within an hour have you said 'I wish?'" Bertie looked up. "I don't know, mamma; three or four times, I guess." "Thirteen," said his mother giavely; "and each time have you wished for something for yourself. Now, if every one in each house did the same, and all their wishes were granted, in what sort of confusion would the world be?' Bertie thought this was a very funny idea. He came away from the window and stretched himself out on the tiger skin, laughing softly to himself as he did so. ' he more he thought about what his mother had said the more comical it seemed to him. "How I should like to see a world like that:" he thought. "I wish fairy tales would come true, just for once, and this tiger skin would turn into a magic carpet to carry me anywhere I liked to go." What? Why, had his wish been granted'? He tried to start up, but too late; for the skin had risen from the floor and, with Bertie still upon it. was gliding easily through the still closed window an:d over the tops of all the houses. Now they were just above Central 'ark, and Pertie could see the lake and the Mall and the great reser voir far below him. Now he was borne more swiftly through the air; he was above the rain clouds, though he could see the Hudson Liver below him, and he thought to himself: "Oh, I know; we are going where the Catskill fairies live, and the Culprit Fay and-" Just then the skin whirled around and began descending so rapidly that Ber tie's head grew dizzy, and for awhile he did not know exactly what was passing around him. At length he felt a slight shock, and opening his eyes, he looked ra':her curiously about him. Well, well, this this was a strauge world lie hlad tumbled into. Such queer figures,F houses, trees, and people Bertie had never dreamed of. A very polite old man came up and: asked him whether he had come to live in this country or whether lhe was, merely on a visit. Biertie answered respectfully that he was quite a. stranger, not knowing even the name' of the country in which he found him self so unexpectedly, but he wouldi be glad to know about it all that any one; could tell him. "You are now in the Land of Fulfill ed Wishes," answered the old man. "Hither come all those who on earth waste their lives in wishing idly for what is forbidden or withheld from them. Some are sent here to learn~ wisdom and cure them of their folly, and some come to stay. Here every wish is granted as soon as uttered, but' once made a wish can not be recalled, and no one is permitted to leave until* he has spent twenty-four hours with- I out once saying 'I wish.' Perhaps, young gentleman, you would like to: walk about a little ? I shall be most happy to act as your guide." Bertie accepted this offer with many.' many thanks, and stepping off the tiger skin, which at once disappeared, followed his guide. He soon found that one of the most uncomfortable things in this land wasF the changeableness of the weather. It never was the same for five minutes to gether. One moment some wished for summer and holiday time, and the sun would come out hot and warm; then perhaps someone else would want skat ing and snowballing, and the weather would change in a second to freezing cold. Directly, perhaps, some child would wish for rain, so that he need not go to school, and down wou:.d come a shower, possibly even a thunder strm. For, as every wish was in-: stantly granted, the weather changed as often as anyone expressed a wish, so that, if you only went out for a five minutes' walk, you needed to carry clothing suited to any of the four sea sons. In the course of his ramble Bertie saw a number of queer people. There was the old woman whose husband wished a pudding on the end of her nose, and the little girl who wished she need never learn to sew, and who, con sequently, had such holes and rips i her dresses that everyone was ashamed1 to be seen with her; the little boy who wished he need never to hlave his face washed, and who was really dreadful to look at; his brother, who wished all lesson books were burnt, and was now very muc2h ashamed, because he could neither read, write, nor spell. There, too. wa:s a boy, not much big ger tha'u Bertie, who wvshed to have a headache, so that lie need not go to school, and who had such a headache that his head split ill two. Bertie saw also the man without a country who wished that he might never hear of the U.n'ted States again, and was very unhappy because he never could. Near him was a little girl who wished for the moon and did not know what to do with it when she got it, and a great many children who wished to be grown up all at once and appeared very absurd because they looked like grown-up people and acted like chil Before the day was ove1 Bertie found that it is sometimes very inconvenient to have one's wishes granted immedi ately. Some children invited him to go take a dIrive with them, and oh! how much trouble they had! One boy hey were driving Aog "I wish my log Rolla were here! Instantly .1 mge black Newfotdland dog landed a the niidst of the partyi nearly knock ng Bertie out of the cafriage and caus pg one of the children to cry out: io* ti+~esome you are, Peter! I wish ou were honie Juntantly Peter and Lis dog disappeared: and ae ht had in-t -ited the party, they all felt very un h4mfortable. Then some one wished hev-le ad a pair of ponies instead of a t >air of horses. The ponies appeared, nd then the harness did not fit, and .11 had to stop and put matters straight. Vhen they had started again, one boy rished the ponies would run away, it I rould be so exciting; and run away r hey did, upsetting the carriage, break- t ag the harness, and throwing every I ne out, Eertie had not 1een long i the Land < >f Fulfilled Wishes before he was eartily sick of it and inquired of every 1 one how to get away. "Only through he Land of Common Sense," they told a tim. "To enter that land you have to i >ass through the triple gates of Teach bleness, Obedience, and Self-control, Lor can you go throaugh these gates I vithout a. pass certifying that you have pent at least twenty-four hours with- i ut once saying 'I wish.4 Pertie felt q'ute sure that he would con get away, but he had no idea how nany days would go by before he w uld arn his pass. Cnec he actually spent wenty-three hours without once s .ying 'I wish," and then looking up thought essly at the clock exclaimed: "Oh. I vish the hands would go faster!" Of rourse, then he had to begin all over gain. But Bertie was not easily d iscoitraged vhen he had once made up his mind to thing, and at last lie succee.led in ob aining his cert ti-ate. On presenting imself at the gates, they ro'led back asily and let hint pa throigh, ttit-n lew back again and shut with a sharp lick behind him. Bertie now found himself in the and of Common Sense, where people mly ate when they were h;ungry. dr uk vhen they were thirsty, wore clothies o keep them warm, and built their ouses for comfort and not for show. fere Bertie staid a good while, and aw many wo::ders.

IFe was educated partly n the Academy of the Christian Broth >rs and partly in the Polytechnic chool of New York. A t the age of 17 rears he entered the East Brooklyn ngine shops as a machinist apprentice. * 4i Three years later, in .Tuly, 18(11, he was appointed as assistant engineer in the navy and was soon ordered to duty withi the F lying Squadr-on. serving first on the Dakota and then on the Santi ago de Cuba, under WiP.-s. From this vessel he was triansferred to the Wahusett and promoted to p~ast as bistat. He made two cruises in the Wachusett, and was aboard of her when she captured the Confederate corsair Florida, in Bahia Roads. The following year lie was employed in tor pedo service. After the war Mr. Mel ville served in the Chattanooga, the Penobscot. and tne Lancaster. He was then chosen as engineer of the Tigress, in the Hall relief Arc-tic expedition, after which lie made a cruise in the Tennes-ee. Mr. Melville was se ected as chief engineer of the Jean nette, and his exploits in the escape of her crew from the ice pack by way of Siberia, have given him undying fame in the annals of Artic exploration. It is not disputed that, but for the iron en urane and the unfailng courage of Melville, no part of the crew of the leannette would have ever seen home gain. Melville was selected for Arc tic service as chief engineer of the Thetis and fleet engineer of the GJreely relief squadron under the command cf Commodore Schley. Mr-. Melville's ecent duties have been altogether on hre in positions requiring paricular uartness as a machinist.
