THE TYRANT OF THE HOUSE. While baby sleops We cannot jump, or dance, or sing, Pluv lollv eames or do a thine To make a noise. The floor might creak j If we should walk! We scarcely speak, Or breathe, while baby takes a nap, Iiest we should wake the little chap! A strict watch nursie always keeps .' While baby sleeps! When baby wakes But little gratitude he shows, When other people want to doze! At night, when folks have gone to bed, He rouses them all up instead, To wait on him. Ma lights the lamp, And warms milk for the little scamp! Pa walks him up and down the floor, Sometimes two hours and sometimes more! ' And nurse comes running in a stew, To see what she for him can do! And Will and Harry, at the row, Call: "What's the mutter with him now?" And I'm wnked up at all the clatter To wonder what on earth's the matter! Such uproar in the house ho makes, When baby wakes! So if asleep, or if awake, The house exists but for his sake, And such a tiny fellow he To be boss of this family! . Independent. HELEN'S TWO LOVEKS ful slave, lnsread of the happy compan ion he had hoped to make her. "If she never loves me," he thought, bitterly. "If all my love fails to win hers, what will my life be?" He did ber Justice. He knew that If tate. He gave him a brother's devotion until the last parting came, and when be was laid In the cemetery, Will Spen cer took Helen and Mrs. Raymond back to their home and left them. It was three years later when he his love failed to win her heart, his gold j came home from a European tour and AS he glad? Was he sorry? Did he feel triumphant? Did he feel bitter ly ashamed? ' Will Spencer asked himself these questions over and over, wearying of the repetition and yet never able to end It by saying heartily that ho was glad and triumphant, or bitterly that he was sorry and ashamed. The plain face stared him in the face, that Helen ltay mond did not love him and that Mrs. Raymond had urged his suit, and ex erted her maternal Influence and elo quence until Helen had consented to be his wife, telling him very frankly that her heart was In the grave of her lover, George Vanhorn, who had been killed In a railway collision nearly one year before. "Mother wns never willing I should marry George," Helen said, sadly, "be cause) he was poor and we have suf fered all that poverty can Inflict He was on his way to Colorado, where his , brother had been successful, when ho was killed. Will Spencer winced, for he was rich, very rich, but then he put to the wound that soothing salve, "I will win her love when she Is uiy wife," that has wrecked so mnny Uvea. It may come, this love that will not be hidden, to a man and wife, after they are bound together for life, but the risk Is great, ami Will Spencer know It , ," 'et he cherished the delusion that love In the end would win a return, and he knew his own love to be strong and enduring. He had stepped back when George Vanhorn was met with such a smilu, as he could never win, had kept from pressing his suit when the name of Helen's lover appeared on the list of the killed In the account of the railway collision, but after the lapse of several months ho had won Mrs. Raymond to his side and so, by prosy, wooed Helen and won what? a cold, reluctant consent to be his wife. Yet she wns not cold, this girl of 20, whose heart had Ihjwi crushed ever since the day when George Vanhorn's name was recorded as dead. Ho could have told how her eyes could soften with love's tenderness, her cheeks burn with love'B blushes, her low, sweet, volco tremluo with love's whispered words. , He had won what all the Spen cer gold, tho riches of long generations, could not buy. Before that fatal railway collision she was a bright, beautiful girl, with large, oxpresslvo brown eyes, a voleo of music, the step of a fairy, singing as a bird sings, from sheer Joyousnoss of heart, bringing a Jest to all the house hold worries, laughing merrily over her own blunders In the culinary depart ment, turning old dresses, renovating old bonnets without a complaint, living on lovo and hope. After that day she moved about slow ly, her eyes were dull find weary, her duties met with a rigid mechanical pre cision, her Hps compressed, her checks pale, as shadow of her Joyous self. Mrs. Raymond was often afraid that she would yet miss tho golden prize she had partly won, and heartily seconded Will in his preparations for a speedy wedding. It was Mrs. Raymond who went with hlra to open tho house that ho had bought to adorn for his bride, who aided him In tho selection of car pens, curtains, furniture, and gave him Instructions regarding tho kitchen de partment, of whose needs ho was as ig- uorunt as most young bachelors. It was Mrs. Raymond who received an anonymous letter containing a liberal Bum, which she quietly appropriated for a trousseau ami a Bultablo dress for tho bride's mother. She was a woman of rare taut Hav ing won Helen's consent to bo Will fcpeucer'8 wife, she never bothered her by complaints aliout her listuess Indif ference to her lover or her future pros pects. She simply made all tho ar rangements for her, without once ad mitting a possibility of change. The betrothal was spoken of on all occa sions, the preparation of tho house, tho selection of tho trousseau referred to, lu matter of fact words that rondo Hel en feel, as It was intended sho should, that she had walked Into a net from which there was no escape. And Will Spencer know it all, and writhed under the knowledge, being a frank, loyal man, whose Impulses were generous and honorable, and who loved Heleu with all the strength of his heart Often he asked himself how he could endure life, If ho found his wife a faith wns powerless to make her happy. He knew that if ber mother died or could not be benefited by her marriage, she would rather beg her bread herself than be his wife. While matters stood In this unsat isfactory state, Mrs. Raymond made a suggestion: "I want you to go away for a month," she said to him, "and let Helen miss the constant devotion that she has had ever since your betrothal. Let her feel that a void has come into her life, and how dull and cheerless it would be if she lost you. The wedding day is set for June 10, and this is April. Stay away until the 5th or 0th of June." It seemed to him good advice and he had business in the West that would fill his time profitably. It gave him the first really happy moment of his en gagement, when Helen said gently, yet with a shudder: "I cannot bear to think of you on rail way trains, Will. Write often, that I may know you are safe." Her Hps met his In a tender pressure, such as a loving sister might bestow, but with far more affection than she had ever before given him. Was he Winning her? The hope made this un expected absence endurable, and for two weeks life held more pleasure than it had done In all the days of his court ship. Then came a blow, sudden, sharp, overyhelmlng! He was In a large Western city, when, after night, re turning to his hotel, a man on crutches asked for charity. The voice was fa miliar, and. In a shock of horror, the face struck him. One gasping cry es caped him: "George Vanhorn!" Tho man would have hurried away, but be followed easily. "Let me go, Spencer !" the crippled man pleaded. "I did not recognize joul Don't you know I am dead?" "I know you are coming in here with me," Will said gently, substituting bis arm for one of the crutches and enter ing the hotel whore he had a room. "Steady now!" and he led him, feeling how ho trembled, until he had him seated In a great arm-chair In his room, and felt his heart stirred with deepest compassion at the havoc pain and pov erty had made. He would not let his guest speaJs un til he had ordered a supper and made him comfortable. Then, turning to him, he saw he was weeping. "See what a woman you make of me!" the poor fellow said. "You thought I was dead?" "Yes! All your friends think: so. "It was a narrow escape, and I won der why I was spared. Nine months In a public hospital have loft me crip pled and Incurably ill. They would not keep mo after I could get about on crutches, but I have begged or starved, and It will not be for long! I would not let anyone know for fear It would get to to Helen!" "You want to hide from her?" "Yes yes! What would her life br tied to mine? You will not betray me. Spencer?" "But you may recover." "No. I should only be a wreck If I could, tiut I cannot I have Internal Injuries tnat the cold and hunger of hist winter have Increased -fatally." Will Spencer literally could not sp?ak. This man asked of him only the si lence that would give him his wife. Could he let Helen remain In Ignorance of this strange adventure the memory of her old love might die away In time. When he could speak again he led the conversation to Helen. He was very frank, telling George Vanhorn how truly he hud been mourned, but saying nothing of his own hopes, and It was easy to Bee how George had loved her, how utterly sclf-sacrltlclng his silence had been. To spare her pain, he had kept from hor all knowledge of his own suffering. But his pride yielded to Will's en treaties to be allowed to befriend him. Ho was very weak, very 111, and he id lowed Will to get hlra a pleasant room In a quiet boarding house, to furnish him with necessary clothing, to engage a doctor, and to tuko a brother's place beside him. And then true, unselfish love triumphed. "She will never marry me," Will thought, ruefully, as he folded a long long letter, "but she shall not be cheat ed out of what little happiness life may still hold for her. Ho wrote, too, to Mrs. Raymond, a letter that caused that respectable lady to grind her teeth, but which sho obey ed, packing her trunk and accompany Ing Helen in the Journey westward. It was Will Spencer who met the two at the depot, and accompanied them to the boarding house where he kept Mrs. Raymond In the parlor after sendlu Helen unstalrs, alone. It was Will Spencer wlw smoothed awny every dif ficulty, engaging rooms for mother and daughter and quietly effacing himseb. It were far too long a story to try to record tho three months that followed George Vanhorn was resolute on one point He would not marry Helen. Ho had no hopo of recovery, but If the tin expected should happen, he would not risk ruining Helen's life by binding it to his. "Oti,' she would cry, "what am I to deserve the love of - two such men? Mother, It humbles me to think how they love me." And by this love her courage was sustained through the three months when sho and her mother smoothed George Vanhorn's path to the grave. Such happiness as could be hers, she kuew that she owed to 111 Spenee who showed his love only by his care of the Invalid. Ho never spoke of love to her, giving her up entirely, but upon her lover he lavished every kindness wealth could procure, or friendship die- called ou Mrs. Raymond. ' 'The old lady, sir, is dead," the ser vant told him, "an' Miss Helen's llvln' In street Maybe yees didn't hear she's come iDto some money from her uncle, sir, and Mrs. Gandy, she's took this house, sor." Come Into some money! Well, she did not need him. He would wait awhile. But In a few days a little note reached him: ! "It was unkind to let me hear of your return by accident Will you not come to see me?" Would he not? And when he went he could not keep the love out of his eyes or his voice, and she at last! Her eyes drooped under his gaze, her cheeks blushed for him, her voice faltered with tenderness. He had won his bride! And he had no secret hidden from her loving "eyes, no treachery he would dread to have her discover. By the frankness he had thought would, alien ate her forever, he had won hor true, faithful love, a devotion ns entire as that she had given in her girlhood to the man he had so nobly befriended. New York Ledger. ' THE FIRST TORPEDO. HE LOVED HIS DOGS. Exploded Too Soon to Destroy a Fed eral Gunboat, Mr. R. 0. Crowley, formerly electri cian of the Torpedo Division, C. S. N., contributes to the Century an account of "The Confederate Torpedo Sen-ice." After describing the organization of the first torpedo service, Mr. Crowley says: Having our system now perfected, we established a torpedo station, some five or six miles below Richmond, by submerging two Iron tanks, contain ing one thousand pounds of powder each, in twelve feet of water, leading the wires ashore, and connecting them y.lth a galvanic battery concealed in a small hut In a deep ravine. From the battery-house the wires were led to an elevated position near by, where the man in charge could keeip a look out for passing vessels. The position of the torpedoes In the water was indi cated by two sticks, planted about ten feet apart on the bluff, and in a line with each other and the torpedoes; and the watchman's Instructions were to explode them by contracting the wires as soon as an enemy's vessel should be on a line with the two painters All this being prepared, we awaited the approach of a Federal gunboat As was usually the case,, one came when least expected,' on a beautiful clear day, when our entire force except the man stationed as lookout was absent In Richmond, preparing other war ma terial. : We were apprised by telegraph of the rapid approach of the gunboat, and Immediately hastened toward our first station: but we arrived too late. The man In charge had not seen the United State? flag for a long period, and never having previously seen a gunboat so near, lost his presence of mind, and fired one of the 1.000-pound powder- tanks when the gunboat was at least twenty to thirty yards distant. A great explosion took place, throwing up a large column of water to a consider able height; and the gunboat by her momentum plunged Into the great trough, and caught the downward rush of a wave on her forward deck. The guards were broken awny, half n dozen men were thrown overboard, and other damage to tho gunboat was caused. The steamer then . turned about as quickly as she could, and prepared to retrace her route down the river, after picking up the men who had been washed overboard. There was a bril liant opportunity to accomplish her to tal destruction by firing the remaining torpedo ns she passed back over It But nlns! the man had been so astound ed at the first explosion that he had fled precipitately, without waiting to see what damage had been done, and the gunboat was thus enabled to re turn down the river In safety. One of the Most Charmlna Traits of Sir Walter' Scott's Character. 'He was a gentleman, even to his dogs," said a visitor to Abbotsford in 1830. "When too roughly frolicsome, he rebuked them gently so as not to mortify them or spoil the natural buoyancy of their character. Dear old Scott! How he loved to stroll with his dogs through the woods of his beautiful home, there amid the rural scenes which he loved so dearly he would take long, enjoyable, satis fying walks with his pet companions who added not a little to the happiness of his life. They were elevated by him to the position of steady and sens ible friends; they possessed rights to be respected and feelings which It would be scandalous to outrage. Scott always kept one window of his study open that his dogs might leap In and out as the fancy moved them. ' One of the most charming periods of Scott's life was that which he spent with his family at Ashestlel, a coun try mansion on the bank of the Tweed in a solitary mountain district At this time he was engaged in writing "Marmlon." Many of his literary friends visited him' here. On Sundays they would all, accompanied by the several dogs, go picknicking to some favorite spot frequently the ruined tower of Elibank and there dine In the open air. When his dear old dog, Camp, died, Scott had been invited to dine out that day, but declined on account of "the death of a dear old friend." His most famous dog was the greyhound, Malda, whoame upon the scene when the Waverly novels were beginning to set the world talking. It is Malda who figures at his feet In the well known sculpture by Steel. Washing ton Irving, during a visit to Abbots ford In 181", enjoyed the pleasure with Scott and his dogs. "As we sallied forth, every dog in the establishment turned out to attend us; Malda de ported himself with a gravity becom ing his age and size, while the others worried him gamboling, frolicking and leaping at his neck. "I have no doubt," said Scott, "that when Malda is alone with them he throws gravity aside and plays the boy as much as any of them, but he is ashamed to do bo in our company." In the autumn of 1820 when a large party, including Sir Humphrey Davy, Dr. Wollaston and Henry Mackenzy, were starting out with the dogs, a little black pig was discovered to be frisking about among the dogs with the evident Intention of Joining tho party. "This pig," said Lockhart, "had formed a strong and most senti mental attachment to Scott and was constantly urging his pretensions to be admitted as a regular. I remember him suffering under the same perti nacity on the part of an affectionate hen.", ... It Is a sad task for Scott when quit ting his home to seek health abroad, which he did not find, to leave his dogs; his last orders were that they should be well taken care of. MEN!;:;: , n.
