"HE AND SHE.1 A 505. . ' . "She is dead'" They said to him: "Come away, Kiss her and leave her thy love is clay!" Tbey smoothed her tresses of dark brown hair; : On her forehead of stone they laid it fair; Over her eyes that gazed loo much, : They drew the lids with a gentle touch; "With a tender touch they closed up well The sweet thin lips that had secrets to tell; About her brows and beautiful face They tied her veil and her marriage lace, And drew on her white feet her white silk shoes, Which were the whitest, no eye could choose. And over her bosom they crossed her hands "Come awav!" their said' God understands." And there was silence, and nothing there ' But silence, and scents of eglantere, And jasmine, and reses, and rosemary; And they said: "As a lady should lie, lies she." And they held their breath as they left the room With a shudder, to glance at its stillness and gloom. 'But he who loved her too well to dread The sweet, the stately, the beautiful dead, He lit his lamp, and took the key And turned it alone again he and she. He and she; but she would not ppeak, Tho' he kiaaed, in the old place, the quiet cheek. He and she; yet she would not smile, Tho' he called her tho name she loved erewhile. He and she; yet she did not move Ta any one passionate whisper of love. 'Then he said: "Cold lips and breast without breath, , Is there no voice, no language of death, "Dumb to the ear, and still to the sense, But to the heart and soul distinct, intense? "See now; I will listen with soul, not e r; What was the Becret of dying, dear? "Was it the infinite wonder of all That you ever could let life's flower fall? "Or was it a greater marvel to feel Theperfi c; calm o'er the agony steal? " Was the miracle greater to find how deep Beyond all dreams sank downward that sleep? "Did life roll back its records, dour, And slow, a3 they say it does, past thins eleer? "And was it the innermost heart of the bliss To find out so, what a wisdom loye is? "Oh perfect dead! O dead most dear, " I hold the breath of my soul to heart "I listen as deep as to horrible hell, As high as to heaven, and you do not tell! "There must be pleasure in dying, sweet, To make you so placid from head to feet. 'I would tell you, darling, if I were dead, And 'twere your hot tears upon my brow shed "I would say, though the Angel of Death had laid His sword on my lips to keep it unsaid, "You should not ask vainly, with streaming eyes, Which of all deaths was the chiefest surprise "The very strangest and suddenest thing Of all the surprises that dying must bring." - s An. foolish world: oh, most kind dearl Though he told me, who will believe it was said? Who will believe that he heard her say With the sweet, soft voice, in the dear old way: "The uttermost wonder is this I hear And see you, and love you, and kiss you, dear. "And am your angel, who was your bride, And know that, though dead, I have never died." - The four Henrys. An old woman who passed in the country for a sorceress, once dwelt in an humble cabin in the forest of St. Ger main. One evening, when the rain fell in torrents, sh9 heard a knocking at the door, which, hastily opening, she saw a cavalier who craved hospitality. Put ting his hoise in a shed close at hand,she bade him enter, and by the light of a smoky lamp observed that her guest was a young gentleman: his person bespoke youth, his dress was that of a man of rank. The old woman stirred the fire to a ruddy blaze, and asked the youth if he would have something to eat. A stomacn or sixteen years .is use a heart of the same age, eager and easily pleased. The young man signified his assent, and a bit of cheese and a half loaf of bread were brought from the cup board, all the provisions the old woman had. "I have not much,' she said to him. "This is all I have to offer a chance vis itor after paying taxes and the excise on salt, without taking into account the neighboring country people, who call me a sdTOoress and disciple of the devil, in order that tbey may steal with an, easy conscience the products of my Bmall garden.". "Br my soul!" said the stranger, "if I were King of France I would suppress these imposts, and thus benefit the people." "God hear you " responded the old woman. At these words the young man ap proaohed the table to partake of his frugal supper, but at the same instant an other rap at the door arrested his atten tion. The old woman opened it and saw another cavalier drenched with rain, who also asked shelter, which was granted him, and who, having entered, she saw that he; too, was a young man and a noble. "What, you here, Henry?" said the newcomer. "Yes, Henry," said the other. Each called the other Henry, and the old woman learned from their conversa tion they belonged to a numerous party of huntsmen led by King Charles IX., . and wbioh the storm hau dispersed. "Old woman,' saia the second comer, "hast thou not something more to give us?" , "Nothing," replied she. "Then." said he, "we will divide this." The first Henrv made a very wry face e but observing the resolute eye and sinewry presence of the other said in voice of chagrin, "Divide it, tuen, and there was behind the words this thought which he did not venture to express "Divide, but deal fairly." They seated themselves opposite each other, and already one had cut the bread with his dagger when the third knock was heard at the aoor. me ren- conter was singular; this was another young man, another nobleman, another Henry. The oM woman ilopked on in grim surprise. The first wished to con ceal the bread and cheese, the second re placed it on the table and laid his sword beside it; the third Henry smiled. "You do not wish then," said he, "to snare your supper witn me. l am very urea ana quite nungry. "The supper by rights belongs . to . the first comer," said the first Henry, v "The supper," said the second, "be longs to the one who can best defend it." mi - i . vr . ... ina imra nenry colored witu anger a 3a nam uerceiy: . . . . . ; "Perhaps it belongs lo the one who oonquered it. . These words were hardly spoken when the first Henry drew! his DoisrnartL the other two their swords. As they were about to come to blows a fourth' knock was heard and the fourth young man a fourth nobleman a fourth Henry was introduced. At the sight of the drawn swords he drew his own, placed himself on the side of the most feeble and at tacked with- force. The old woman in dismay concealed herself , for the clashing swords seemed determined to strike whatever came within1 their reach. Soon the lamp fell, went ut and each struck in the dark. The noise of the swords lasted some time, gradually subsided, and finally ceased altogether. Then the old woman ventured to leave her hiding place, relit the lamp and saw the four young men stretched on the floor, each wounded. She examined them: fatigue. rather than loss of blood, had suspended animosities, and raising themselves, one after the other, shamed of having fought over so trilling a matter, they laughed, and the first Henry said, "Come, let us renew good feeling by partaking of this supper together." But when they looked the supper it was found ou the floor trampled under foot and mixed with blood, winch, simple as it was, thev re gretted. Glancing to the other side of the cabin. hey found everything bore the marks of heir violence, and the old woman, seated ; m one corner, hxed her reddish-colored eyes upon them. j ' , "Why do you look at us tuns fixedly? said the first Henry whom this glance troubled. j "I see your destines written on your breheads," she replied. The second Henry rudely commanded her to reveal to them what she saw, j tt mio buo. uiucio: j-uxv muguvu. . two j .llt 4Y-tsv 4 Vi V w r. vmlw . tn..t3 Cltts. answered: "As you . are all united m this cabin, so you will all be united in the same destiny; as you have trampled under foot, and mixed with blood the bread that hospitality offered you, so you will trample under foot and mix with blood the power you will share: as you have devastated and impoverished this cabin, so you will devastate and im poverish France ; as you have all f on r been wounded in th dark," so yon - will all fonr perish by treason and a violent death." I The four young noblemen laughed de risively at this prediction as. they 'flung her some gold and prepared to leave the cabin, but the sequel testified to her prophetic power. These four nobles were the heroes of the league, two as its chiefs, and two as its enemies. Henry of Conde, poisoned by his ser vants.

Henry of Bourbon 1 Henry IV., assas sinated by Ravaillaci , How to Kun a Boat in a Fog. The river pilot sat close against the grate, toasting himself and chewing the end of a large and inky black cigar. He was studying the red-hot coals and "It's a dod -ratted nuisance.those ships out there in the stream," he exclaimed, and jerked his cigar in the direction of the river. This thought !gave him food for silent meditation so he lit his cigar and glared into the grate. "Why. so?" asked the reporter, who was down there waiting for the Gardiner to come in. - "Well, you look and see for yourself. Don't they lie right there in the path of the steamboats, aijid don't they lie east, west, north andj south, with booms and yards a-stieking put into the air and threatening tiie river craic wnu uestruc- tion? Why, I tell jyou if a boat comes afoul of ODe of those high-pointing bow sprits she'll have her fvhole cabin scraped right off into the river." , There was another pause, and then the pilot wound himself up by giving seven vigorous puffs at his jcigar, and resumed: You see, if the ships would anchor fore and aft, or anchor somewhere else than jast there where we have to coma across, between the ways land the St. Louis street wliarf, it woulct be all. right; but they lie swinging at one anchor, and if there is little current or the current is turned backward by wind and tide, they take up-the whole channel, some lying north and south, and some east and west, and some any way your can think of; I . "And when you come down you have to thread your way in and out like I did the other night, and jit'8 a big risk, I as- sure you. unt it is specially nsKy wnen there is a fog or m a very dart night. At such a time you can't tell how a ship lies, for she carries but one light, and there are no indications to be learned from it. You cannot tell where the ship is, and you are just as likely to run into her as miss hlr. I "It is difficult enough piloting a river steamer, any way, without having arti ficial obstructions put in the way. I can tell you, sir, it's pretty dark on a dark night on the river. Sometimes,, it get3 so dark you cannot see the jaek-staff." "What do you dor "Well, we keep our eyes open. We have all the lights put out ou board and tho furnace fires shaded. There is not a Bpark of light then toj be seen about the boat to cast a reflection on the waters or anywhere. It helps jihe pilot amazingly. You see it takes mighty little to give a trained river pilot hip bearings, and he reads the trees on! shore as plainly as you could road a book." "But a fog catches you sometimes, and what then?" I ."Then we go by gues3 plain guess. We move slow and have one hand on the engineer's bell Ml the time. We nose up into the bushes once in a while, and back out and turn around. Oh, it's amusing what capers a boat will cut in a fog. Why, I recall once, I was on the Alice Vivian going uj? at the foot of the island, when the fog came on so dense you had to brush it jaside to see your hand. We chasseyed around there for a long time, now into ihis bank, now into that, and having 50 j worth of the dern desfc fun you ever sat?, when all at once I found we were in a pocket 'with a bank on both sides of us, and a bank a little way ahead. Yes, sir we were 200 yards up in Three-mile creek, having come down the river to accomplish this feat. "About two years ago I was following Captain Peoples, of he Johnson, in a fog, listening to" he escape pipes and steering well into the point. I thought everything was going all right, when the Johnson came ateaiaing -"back and I learned that Captain Peoples had been up tho .Tensas river and was going right through to the Atlantic Ocean, where he heard a dog bark. Knowing there was no dog put down on I his chart he turned back and came down! where I was. "Well, we run by dog barking, by rooster crowing, by pig f queals. These are reliable signs to run by. Sometimes we run by the stopping bell, and then by the rudder. You see, we ring the bell and accordingly' as it sounds with a faint or a quick ech'd, we judge how far we are from the shore. We sometimes stop the boat ever scj often just to hear the bell echo, and then it is almost the same thing with the whistle and with the wheel.! When the wheel is grinding away close in shore she makes an awful roar, but hen we are well out in the middle of the stream you can scarcely hear it. The other way of judging the run of the boat and her direction is by the feel of her rudder. When the pilot's wheel turns hard we know which way she is heading, even when we cannot see the jackstaff. Of course it is a science to some degree, but for the most part piloting in a fog is pure; guesswork." f Mobile Register. A Terrible One!. A bloody, cruel and novel duel was fought in the lower edge of Guilford, be tween Ralph Johnson and Sacks Wil liams, two young farmers of that section, and rivals for the affections of a young woman. Bad feelings had existed be tween them for some time, ending in harsh words two days previous to the fight. Soon afterwards Johnson sent a friend to Williams with a letter, demand ing a retraction of certain language used. Williams declined to withdraw his re marks, and further correspondence re sulted in an agreement to meet in hostile combat, the time being fixed for the 20th tilt. The articles drawn up specified horse-whips as the weapons to be used, something not heretofore recognized by the code in South Carolina. These weapons were chosen, it is understood, in order that the parties could thereby ; evade the penalties of the duelling law, I which does not epeoify horse-whips aa deadly weapons. Under the rules of the fight each man was required to stand upon a line traced upon the ground, mak- about three feet. They were armed with heavy horse-whips, especially selected for the fight, and the second of each duellist was supplied with an extra whip, to be used by his principal in the event of the wearing out or breaking of the weapon first used. The combatants met one morning, according to agreement. The field selected was a hard and level spot about half a mile from the main road. The lines were made of rope, fas tened to the ground by long staples. After a vain attempt had . been made by the seconds to adjust the difficulty, the men took place for the fight. Both were in their shirt sleeves, the provisions of the fight being that no coat, vest or undershirt be worn. At 7 o'clock the question was asked: "Gentlemen, are you ready?" Each man nodded his head. The command "Strike!" was then given, and the duellists fell to blows with vigor. Although the blows given were heavy and and fast, neither man flinched. Upon the hands and face of the combatants great welts soon rose, and the shirts of the men soon gave evidence that the blood was being drawn. At times they wielded their weapons with one hand, then with both, and occasion ally one or the other was forced by the desperate assault of his adversary to fall back from his line. After fighting for half an hour time was called, and the men, nearly breathless, were given a brief resting spell. The fight continued for three hours, with short intervals for rest. The seconds finally decided that the requirements of the code had been complied with, and forced the duellists to desist. It is understood that Johnson was more severely hurt than his adver sary, Snd that there is not a place on his body that is not coveYed witlr welts. Many of the blows crashed the flesh in a horrible manner. Williams is almost in the same condition, and both are now suffering terribly from the effects of their wounds, which are such that fhey can hardly lie down. Their feet are al most the only parts not covered with cuts. No arrests have been made, and friends of the duellists are endeavoring to hush the matter up. j Raleigh Ob server. WIT ASDHUMOK.

The next day he sppeared, leaned out of the back win dow, expectora ted on a w bald-headed printer's pate, tied the cat up by the tail in the hallway, had four fights with another boy, borrowed $2 from an occu pant of the building, saying his mother was dead, collected two days' pay from the cashier, hit the janitor with a broom stick, pawned a coat belonging to a member of the ' editorial staff, wrenched the knobs off th9 doors, upset the ice cooler, pied three galleys of type, and mashed his finger in the small press.

The Sunday Argus, of Louisville, Ky., perpetrates this weighty jest: "Does your Helen remind you of Helen of Troy?" she asked sweetly, as the sofa springs flattened under a pressure of 160 pounds. "No, not precisely; you re mind me more of Helen of Averdupois," was the scaley reply.
