Under my keel another boat Sails as I sail, donts as I lieat; Silent and diin and mystic still, It steals through that weird nether-world, Mocking my power, though at nly will Tie form before its prow Is curlei, Or calm It lies, with canvas furled. Vainly I peer and fain would see What phantom in that boat nisy be; Yet half I dread, lost I with ruth Soire ghost of my dead past divine, Sonte gracious shape of my lost youth, Whose deathless eyes once lixed on mine Would draw me downward through the brinel IN A MOMENT. Standing by the window, with thoughtful look in her uark blue ey and a wistfulness about her little i mouth, Isabel Jeffrey was indulging one of tho retrospective momories i did not very often give way Io. But -to-morrow was New Year's D and in tho old times that seemed so black, it had been the gayest happi day of all tho year for her, when I elegant parlors in her father's mansi on Madison Avenue had been decorai with flowors, and the Windows darkeni and the gas had been lighted in pi and silyor globes, and every luxury v delicacy been served on the New Yet table by the waiters in the Jeffi livery. And 1isabel queened it over all young, fair, rich, happy, hopeful, Five years passed, and now she wa woman of twenty-threc, whose best dr was a cashmere, whose home was three rooms, whoso father had b dead ever simo the terrible break-up h's financial aftaire, and whose frien whose name had been legion, were sc tered she never knew where. It had been pretty much the samo story. Isabel had had to face the world, a she had done it brayely. She had been fortunate enough to i tain a position in a store, and on I llardly-earned salary of six dollart week, she managod tv make a fai comfortable home for herself, her d cate little lady-mother, and her I years-old-sister. Of course it was hard-awfully harc to stand it; but people have to endi just such things, and the more bri and cheerful and philosophic they < be, the easier it is for them ; althou beyond the philosophy that Isabel J< rey brought to bear, was her religio her sweet patient trusting that hell her ' so much, that kept her very gen and uncomplaining al1 these dark da; when, more keenly than loss ot p perty, or home, or friend, wa2s the e% constant memory of Jack Mervin's hat some face, and bohl blue eyes, a charming voice, and caressing mann The'.-y had never been, loverai, that engaged lovers, nor had Jack ever si much of anything special to her. All the saie though Isabel had be very sure of him. So suro that she was perfectly cont< to wait just as long as fate ordained. And then, just at the time when should have been staunch and true, his love were worth anythihg, so Isal reasoned, just as biltterly, ho had gc with the crowd that had deserted I Joffreys in their reverses. And ill five years Isabel had no' aeon him or heard his name spoken. Poor little soul I The big tears would start to herloev wistful eyes as she stood there betwe hghts that New Year's Eve, that miu have been so different. For perhaps half an hour she stc there looking dowvn into tihe brillian lighted street below, with its throngs pecple hurrying through the stingi cold, the solemn moonlight shii high, and pure anld holy abovo all. "'If only Jack had not gone with I rest 1" ''Oh, if only 110 had stayed and lov mnc 1" That, wvas the burden of 11cr thougl just as heavy that night, live years fre the time since she had soon1 his hal some1 smiling eyes, as at the first.

She had earad for him from the vt first and shle would care for hilm to I very latest throb of 11cr loyal hea oaosing-nay, perforce, haivintg suffer her loss of hlim, rathler than enj anlothler mall's love. Directly, wvithl a little sighl, she dasi thle big slowv dropp)ing tears off lashes, anld obeyed Bessie's chleer stummons to supper, and went slov out to tile neat frugal little meal buttered toast and cold thin-sliced Iu an~d mustard. And delicious steaming tea and a v taste of cannled pineapples. Then sihe returnied to tihe store, wile after hlours, Dell Amber took her com dentially aside and Imparted a deic bit of information and an invitation.

Getting out of her clutchos, he al stepped back a few paces, and takingoff ac his hat, gave her a most insinuating re bow.

"Sir, you should waar an open-faced watch if you desire to be accurate in your time-" said a watch-maker to the stout man ; you are too magnetic." "Why, what the deuce has the case got to do with it ?" was the interroga tive reply, "Everything. Your watch has a hunt ing-ease, necessitating steel springs for opening and shutting By constait as sociation-with your body those springs become magnetized, and they generate their condition to other necessarily steel portions of the watchworks, and thus render their movemonts imperfect." "Then, if I were not fat my watch would got. Jose two minutes, more or foss, a day," said .lie puzzled stout ian.' "Exactly," returned the watchmaker. "I have worn your watch for over a week and it hras neither gained nor lost - dozen seconds ; but then I am, from a 3orporal point of view, your antithesis. [ am exceptionally thin and slendor." The stout man mused. "Accordingly,' aid hle, "open-faced tickers for fat men, Blosed cases for thin, eh ?" "Not at all," replied the other. "Thin [nen have at times more magnetism in their systems than fat men. Everybody is more or less magnetic ; you happen to be particularly so; I happen to be :uite the reverse ; hence my remarks md advice. For the rest, open-faced 6%atches are always more accurate than lunters. They are more air-tight for )no thing. As for the steel springs in lhunting Cases, mechanical science has aot yet discovered anything else to re piaco them ; the public like double cases, mud there the matter remains for the present. There are, however, many Ill 3entrived portions in watches, and while he demand continues for watches of a 3ertamn price it is iulpossibie, from a lommercial point of view, to think of muprovements. Long-used methods and ngemious ongines have been specially rovided to fashion and cut out every )no of the minuto parts which go to lompose the existing instrument. Every bvatch consists of over 200 pieces om ploylmg over 200 persons, distributed imong forty trades, to say nothing of he tool-makers for the artisans. I the 3onstruction of the watch were ma orially altered, all the trades would trve to be re-learned, now tools and wheel-cutting engines would have to be levised, and the majority of working watchmakers become useless, The con tequence would bothat the watch would )aecomne enormously enhanced in value md its possession a tokon of wealtfh. You see, in your complicated state of toeiety -even machines in the process of Amo come to surround themnselves with % circle of 'vested interests' which em barrass attempts at improvement." "You are interesting me," remarked the stout customer, as he placed his watch in his pocket. "You have been many years, I suppose, in the business. f courso, there must have been some mprovements im your time ?" "Of course. Watches during the past ten years have grown much in bihicknossi. Old-fashionedl watches are Shmn arid flat. I have had a watch in may charge as flat as a trade dollar. It is impossible to p~roperly aoust the works for heat, cold and p~osition runder much circumstances, I should :Lye to' givo you a long explanation of thre pack Ing of machianismi to explain to you wyhy." "WVell, has the increased thickness raiseid the vaLIuo ?" "No. On tire contrkry, watches are mow worth 25 per cent less than they wvere twelve years ago.

Without waiting a moment 'he dropped his basket of corn, and rushed to the house widi a shout of, "Wife, untie my dog while I get my gun; there is a great bear com iag!" The wife obeyed, and in a moment man and dog were galloping up the hill, and soon joined Bigler, who shouted, "Pap, put the dog on him 1" The faithful dog obeyed, dashing after the bear who made a start across the valley. Boon the dog came so close that old bruin determined to give battle whioh was done by striking and biting hhi until 1W jresolved to .abandon the pursuit, and howling and yelping, ho began retracing his stops until he was met by his master who yainly implored him to return. By tins ttme the bear hind passed Laubach's, who were soon i hot plirsuit with dogs, guns, and Mr. Stlephon Laubach was iot far bohind with his axo. Tne bear now changed his course and went direct for Oriolo. thus changing his route from a line to a tri angle, and the Welshuuoc's travelmg on the bypothenuso oon joined the Lau bachs. The bear was now about iu the position of the British army in its re treat from Concord and being saluted in front, rear and flanks with stones, clubs and dogs he was brought to a stop about half a mile south of Oriole.
