THE TWO ANCHORS.
BY HOHARl R, HTODDARD.
It sras a gallant sailor man
Had Just come home from sea,
Ari'i b I passed him In the town
n- ss-nfr " Ahoy ! " to me.
I stopped, aud aaw I knew the man
Had known him from a boy ;
And no I answered, tailor-like,
" Avast ! " to his ' Ahey ! "
I made a won for him one day
His ship was then in siRtat
" The little anchor on the left.
The great one on the right . "
I gave his baud a hearty grip.
" So you are back again 7
They say you have been pirating
Upon the Spanlak main ;
Or was it some rich Indiaman
You robbed of all her pearls ?
Of course you have been breaking hearts
Of poor Kanaka girls !
' Wherever 1 nave been," he said,
I kept my ship in sight
' The little anchor on the left.
The great one on the right ! ' "
" I heard last night that you were in ;
I walked the wharves to-day.
But paw no ship that looked like yours,
Where does t he good ship lay ?
I want to go on ivoard of h'r."
And bo you shall," said he ;
But there are many thinos to do
When one conies home from sea.
Yon know the song you made lor me?
I sing it morn and night
The little anchor on the left.
The great one on the right ! ' '
" But how's your wife and little cue ? "
" Come home with nie," he said.
"Go on. go on ; I follow you."
I followed where he led.
He had a pleasant little house ;
The door was open wide.
And at the door the dearest face
A dearer one inside !
He hugged his wife aud child : he sang
His spirits wei e so light
The littie anchor on the left.
The great one on the right '. "
TV as supper time, and we sat down
The sai-or's wife sad child ;
And he and 1 : he looked at them.
And looked at me, and suiiled.
I think of this when I am tossed
Upon the stormy foam;
And though a thousand leagues away.
Am Anchored here at home,"
Then, giving each a kiss, be said,
I see in dreams at night
This littie anohor ou my left,
Thijs tjrettt one ou my risht : "
CROSSES.
CHAPTER I.
" I say, Billy, wot's a cross ?"
They wore two little boot-blucks stand
ing before a window, -gazing in at the
large display of illuminated tests. One
was sadly deformed, and both looked
ragged and destitute ; but their faces
were very bright, for they were evident
ly enjoying a treat.
" A cross, Johnny ; why, a cross is
almost anything that goes across some
thin' else, like this," said Billy, form
ing one with his fingers. " One stick,
or whatsomever it may be made of,
p'ints up'ards and the other p'ints ahead
that's wot a cross is, Johnny."
"Yes, I know'd that afore, Billy;
but wot does crosses mean, and wots
they for ?"
" Dnnno, Johnny. They puts 'em on
top o' churches to make 'em look sort
o' neat like, I s'pose."
" Mebbe they tells which way the
wind blows," said Johnny.
"No, they al'ays p'ints the same
way," said Billy, confidently. " Crosses
must mean somethin' good, or nice,
though, I reckon, 'cause they're al'ays
fixed off sort o' fine, with flowers and
such ; and then peoples wear crosses,
too. j Haint you seed 'em, Johnny, with
'em on ?"
"Oh, yes," replied Johnny, bright
ening, ' they're takin' up the cross,
Billy, just wot this says fur 'em to do ;
but somehow," more slowly, " there
must be more'n that to it ; why do they
wear 'em, and wot's they for ?"
" They aint for to eat, at any rate,"
said Billy, turning away, and I'm pow
erful hungry. Come, we'll go git some
grub, Johnny ; pick up your traps and
hurry up, or they'll charge you for rent,
if the perlice don't git hold o' you and
arrest you for stairin' in there so crazy
lake."
They both laughed and walked away,
through a number of streets, until they
came to a little bakery, where they in
vested a few pennies in rolls, and had a
" bit fit for a king," as Johnny remark
ed, and then they started off to their
lodging place, which was a miserable,
old, dirty attic, where all sorts of folks
erowded in for the night, too poor to
afford anything better.
Billy and Johnny huddled up togeth
er in their corner, and were soon un
conscious of their unpleasant surround
ings. Beautiful dreams sometimes
floated to them on the impure air, and
instead of making them discontented
and miserable, rested their little spirits,
and added much happiness to their very
few joys. Did the dreams come by
ehance to them, or was their slumber
brightened by the loving smile of a
Heavenly Father, shining down upon
them through the darkness. "Who can
tell?
Johnny's happiest dream, and the one
that comforted him the most, was one
in which he dreamed he was straight
and elegant in form. That the little
hump, the heavy ache upon his back,
was all gone. " I was just like other
boys," he would say to Billy, trying to
straighten himself up, " and oh, I was
so happy. Not a person noticed me on
the street ! think o' that, Billy, 'ceptin'
as those as wanted their boots blacked ;
and oh, such a polish as I gave 'em !
Such a polish !" And his little pale,
sad face would light up " It seemed
as if I couldn't rub hard enough, I was
so happy. Now and then, some o' them
great and good-natured men 'ud say to
me as I was shinin' 'em up, Why,
boy, what's the matter with yer ? Have
ye been shinin' yer face this mornin' ?'
I told one on 'em I'd swapped a heap
o' misery for a pile o' joy ; and another
one, that I reckoned my aches was
passin' off in smiles, near as I could
guess ; but nobody knowed I was the
little hunch-back, and when I woke up
this mornin' I knowed it was all a
dream of course ; but it rested me so
much, Billy, I feel most as if I didn't
care." And then a little sigh escaped
him. Billy, rough boy though he was,
knw the sic-u was the vapor escaping
from the ache Jo tinny Dore in nis neart
as well as on his back, and that John
ny, patient Johnny, did care ever so
much.
"Never mind, never mind, Johnny,"
Billy would say, drawing his hand
across his eyes at the same time, I
love yon more with that 'ar than ef yon
war straighter nor I am. I shouldn't
know you, Johnny ; you'd be somebody
else to me ; but come, well lose our
mornin's trade. Hurry up, boy ; busi
ness is business ;" and off they would
start, stopping first at the little bakery.

d now Johnny lies there on his bed.
unto death. For weeks he has
wasting away, and his little form
smaller than ever, all but the
, which has never lessened except
in his dreams. The little pale face
isn't even sad now, but wears a glori
ous, bright expression. His "fi.e.
dark eyes speak volumes as you look
down into their depths ; they speak to
you of suffering one moment ; but the
next they flash out triumphantly ; and
as we bend to catch the words his hps
endeavored to frame his little harsh
voice seems to have grown melodious,
as he whispers to himself, " Simply to
Thv Cross I Cling."
Billy, grown taller and stouter, sits
by him on the bed, looking down sor
rowfully, tenderly, into the little suf
ferer's face.
"Billy," said Johnny, stroking
Billv's coarse hand with his little frail
fingers : " UiHy, ne repeated ki ji
stillcaressing the hand, "dear Billy, he j
whispered, as he put, it to his little pale
lips. "It's a way he has," Billy had
said one dav to a lady who called. " He
seems to tnink so mucu j m-,
Billy, with emotion, "me as never done
nothin' for him, poor little Johnny,
'cept a little turn now and then. when I
could sarve him, and a rubbin' o his
back when it would get to achm wus
ser'n usual. I'd a gi'n him money if
I'd had it to give" and then Johnny
had intenipted him with " O, Billy,
you can't buy love with money not
the love you give me. Youv'e loved me,
Billy, when no one else would ; youv'e
even loved the hump on my back, and
were al'ays kind o' tender to me, al'ays
puttin' himself atween me and the
stones that the boys as never knowed
me would throw ; why, ma'am," John
ny had said, turning over to look at the
lady. " I'm no relation to him at all ; j
he picked me up in the street one day,
when some one in the crowd knocked
me down ; and he's been pickin' me up,
and standin' up for nie, and a lovin' me
like, ever since.
"The Lord only knows what I'd a
done without you," groaned Billy.
"Johnny's been a bright spot, as it
were, in my life. One of them mission
ladies got him to go to Sunday
school, and he was so full of it,
nothin' must do but I should go
too. If Johnny ever had anything
good in his life, he wanted I should
share it with him. After he had been
a few times he came a hobblin' up these
steps as fast as he could, and rushed in
here to me. I thought a door had
been suddenly opened to let in the sun
light : but when I looked at Johnny's
face it was so bright it would have
frightened me, had he not looked so
wonderful happy. I 'most thought it
was an angel, though I didn't much
know what them was then. 'Billy,'
said he to me, 4 Billy, I've found it all I
out ! I know all about it ! Oh, Billy, '.
it s better n dreams ; I shan t mind it
now ; I'm so happy, Billy !'
"I though the boy was a little touched
like, so I smoothed his hair and said,
' Yes, Johnny, you don't want to go to
Sunday-school any more ; they are too
much for you ; they tire you all out. '
He says, ' Billy you are sleepin'! wake
up; Billy, I'll tell you wot a cross is,"
and then it flashed on me what it all
meant. ' Crosses p'int ahead and
up'ard, as you said, Billy, but they
mean somethin' crosses mean some
thin'. They ain't just to look pretty,
and fix up -with posies and gilt ! They're
heavy, crosses is, and we've all got 'em
to carry. But crosses ain't never light,
Billy ; they've all got a heft to 'em, and
we're to bear 'em, and carry 'em, 'cause
Jesus wants us to. He carried His
cross, Billy, and I've been shirkin' mine
all my life. He never complained, and
I've fretted so much at mine. But I
shan't ag'in, Billy. It is better than
those dreams I used to have. God
thought enough o' me to give me a
cross to bear, and I'm proud now, in
stead of being so ashamed, for God put
it, there, Billy ; it's just as he wanted
it, or it wouldn't be there. God knows
it's all right. I've only to carry it in
this world ; we are to have crowns in
the next, if we're faithful. The next
world is heaven,' said he. After that 1
took to goin' to Sunday-school, too, and
we've been ever since until Johnny got
sick. Indeed I don't know what I
should have done without him, ma'am.
He's a helped me along ; he's sent his
little prayers ahead o' me and all around
me ; he's comforted me when money
was scarce. Oh, he's carried his cross
bravely, ma'am, and helped me tug with
mine besides. "
But Johnny lias dying now, and Billy
sits there alone with him looking down
sorrowfully into his face.
"Billy," said Johnny, "it's
over. Bring me the little cross.
Billy brought it a plain, poorly-proportioned
little affair which Johnny had
whittled out with his knife. " Oh, it's
meant so much to me, Billy. I never
could speak a hateful word when I
thought of it, or felt it in my pocket.
It's as ugly as this," said he, meaning
his hump ; but when I see God in it, it
seems beautiful." His voice grew
fainter. Billy, I've tried to carry my
cross, tried to lift it as high as He
wanted, or I never could have carried
this little wooden one in my pocket ;
'twould have seemed sneaky like. " He
spoke with difficulty, slowly, falteringly.
" Billy, He died on the cross on the
cross. If you are ever proud, be
proud o' that. It's the cross that holds
the gates o heaven open for us, Billy
for me and you. 'Twon't matter about
our bein' boot-blacks there ; we shall
git in, Billy not somehow or other,
but straight through the gate. Jesus
will let us in. I'm goin' now
Billy going to get my crown.
Carry your cross a little longer
Billy Jesus he-lp y-ou save
y-ou."
He's gone. No, hark ! he's still
whispering : " Billy the angels
are getting my crown. It was
right under my cross Billy
B-i-l-l-y" and he bends over him ; but
Johnny never finished the sentence.
His little aching body had found rest ;
his cross of suffering had been ex
changed for a crown of glory.
The old widow enters and finds Billy
swaying to and fro, and moaning to
himself : He's gone ; he'll never
love me any more ;" and through her
fast-falling tears, she says : ' Such
love as that boy's for you don't die
with the body, depend upon it. He
loves you yet purer and stronger than
ever." And who can gainsay it ?
Carrier Pigeons. It is stated that
the New York Sun was the first news
paper to employ the aid of carrier
pigeons for the rapid transmission of
news. Thirty years ago, before the
electric telegraph had come into vogue,
the Sun concern had a large pigeonry
upon the roof of its building, just over
its editorial rooms, where many carrier
pigeons of the best procurable breeds,
were maintained. In those days the
public were often surprised by the ap
pearance of important news, brought by
the birds, in advance of the ordinary
mails. The advent of the telegraph su
perseded the Sun pigeons, and the de
partment was sold out.

On Dressing In Changeable Weather.
Many women commit the grave error
of wearing the same un lined calico
sleeves and the same quantity and
quality of underclothing through sum
mer's heat and winter's cold, in a
climate varying from thirty degrees be
low to one hundred and twenty degrees
above zero. Even those who wear
sufficient elothing in cold weather often
injure the health of themselves or chil
dren by the manner in which they dress
in changeable weather. Many physi
cians recommend the wearing of flannel
during the entire year ; but during the
hot season this is almost intolerable to
some people. As the debilitating ef
fects of ereat heat are almost as in
jurious as the derangements of the cir
. . - S 1 T "1
culation caused toy sudden cnanges ot
plan to modify the clothing according
to the weather.
One should never change suddenly
from very warm to very thin clothing in
the spring, or vice versa in the autumn,
but should keep a supply of garments
varying in wurmth, and make the change
gradually. But when cool days come,
do not be afraid to resume warm gar
ments again for fear of catching cold
when you again lay them off ; you will
be far more apt to take cold by going
without them. And during the entire
summer a light sacque and other extra
garments should be kept convenient,
so that they can be easily slipped off or
on during the cool mornings, or at any
change of weather.
Warm clothing should not usually be
exchanged for that which is not so
warm earlier in the day than the middle
of the forenoon ; because the system
does not attain its greatest vigor until
that time, and also because the morn
ings are cooler and damper than any
I other part of the day. Some people
: think the only proper time for changes
i is upon rising m the morning, and so
1 because the previous day was pleasant
! they leave of warm garments and
shiver through a cool, damp spring
; morning rather than resume them.
But little children are the greatest
surlerers lrom the careless manner in
which thev are dressed. The mistake
usually made is in putting too much
clothing on their bodies, while their
arms and lower limbs are left too thinly
dressed ; thus driving the blood to the
internal organs, not only producing
many colds, but frequently that dreaded
disease, summer complaint. Some
mothers go to the other extreme and
dress their children too warmly for
comfort during the hot weather. Never
let children mill off warm woolen stock
ings ami go barefoot in the earlv spring;
substitute cotton stockings for awhile
until settled warm weather comes.
Even in midsummer they should resume
shoes and stockings whenever it is cool
and damn,
During the hot days a calico slip and
a pair of thin drawers are sufficient
clothing for a child : but an extra apron.
skirt, and shoes aud stockings should
always be at hand to slip on when
needed. And do not neglect to put
them on, busy mother, because you,
who are hard at work, do not feel the
chill of the morning and evening air, or
of the cool, iainy day. And do not
allow your child to suffer by neglecting
i to take them oft when it grows not.
i Trouble ? Yes, but not so much as to
: have sick children.
j Cotton skirts and stockings are gen
; eraily sufficient, but on unusually cool
days woolen ones should be substituted
; for them.
j Children's skirts and drawers should
: button on to waists or shoulder straps,
so that they can be taken off without
unfastening the outside dress. Hearth

Naming the Baby.
A paying hoax was played a few day s
since, says a Clarksville correspondent
of the Louisville Courier-Journal, upon
the family relatives of one of our young
married men who had the good fortune,
' or bad fortune (whichever way the
reader construes it), of having an addi
j tion to the family in the shape of a boy
weigning nine pounus avoiruupois. a
friend of the parents directed a postal
card to each one of the uncles and aunts
of the little chap, bearing upon its back
this line :
" G has a new baby at his house
named after you."
In a few days letters of congratula
tion began to pour in. A gentle-
a'most I man one f i8 uncles, sent by ex
' AnA press a beautiful silver cup, ac-

you for the honor that my finances will
not permit me to accept very often from
my numerous relatives." Another,
writing from Paducah, feels "highly
gratified that yon should name your
boy after me ; and if it bears in reality
my name, and is not named just forty
five years after me, you can draw upon
me for his first boots, and I will honor
the draft. " He "smelt a mice." An
aunt to the infant, writing from Hop
kinsville, Ky.. says: "You know not
how gratified I am that you have named
your little girl after me. I am not well
now, but as soon as I am able to ven
ture out upon the streets I shall ac
knowledge the honor in a more becom
ing manner." An uncle at Erin, Tenn.,
writes : " Kiss the baby for me. I do
not know how to thank you. As soon
as I can find time to dig seven pounds
of ginseng I will send my little name
sake a present." And thus they con
tinue to come from all sections, as the
family are quite numerous. The baby
is as yet unnamed ; and if it receives
the name of each one who has sent a
present, there is a slim show for its fu
ture existence.
Getting Even with a Railroad.
The Lawrence (Mass.) Sentinel says
that a number of months since a Haver
hill man desired some accommodation
of the Boston and Maine road, but was
refused. This action bo provoked him
that he det rmined to get square by
some means, and at length, noticing
that there was no draw in the railroad
bridge near the city, he determined to
put the company to the expense of
building one. So he commenced build
ing a schooner of about 200 tons at a
point above the bridge, and now, as it
is nearly ready to launch, he will soon
load it with legitimate freight, sail down
to the bridge, and demand passace.
which the railroad people must grant
