"Upon inquiry I found that the person who was going to play the leading character in the piece had the night before fallen upon the icy pavement and so injured his ankle that it rendered it impossible for him to appear. "The manager upon hearing it had dispatched his messengers to all the theatrical agencies in the city to, if possible, obtain a person to play the part "But without success, for those who were competent would not risk their reputation in performing a piece upon such short notice, and those were willing were not fit to successfully render the lowest part in the whole drama. "This was the state of affairs when I caane upon the stage. "The manager was in a perfect frenzy, and Louisa Dietz sat near one of the flats, silent and pale as marble. "This was her first appearance at this theater, and to have an accident occur like this was enough to stupefy any one under similar circumstances.

"I pitied her from the bottom of my As I roamed oat one morning The stars were in the sky. But chanticleer his warning Had flung it low and high. The little birds were talking, The mountains yet were gray, YThen Colleen Dhas ca me walking At dawning of the day. Her feet outvied the daisies. Her hair outshone the sun.

Her beauty, like the Graces, Did join all Bweets in one; Her eyes like twin stars married. Her breath of newmown hay; A milking pail she carried At dawning of the day. "Now, are you tender Hebe, Or maybe Juno bright? Your name it might be Phoebe, That robs the sun of light. Or you lively Venus, That close beside me stray, With the milking pail between us At dawning of the day "Young man," she said, "don't flatter. Your glance is bold and free.

No stranger's praise will matter To virtuous maids like me. Pray go where you were going; I take the other way." And I hear my crummy lowing At dawning of the day. Upon a bench of rushes Alone I sat and heard Her voice outsing the thrushes And every wakening bird; I heard the sweet milk spurting, The hedge between us lay, And I longed that we were courting At dawning of the day. Pall Mall Gazette. A LEADING FART.

The following -was narrated to me by an old friend of mine, who upon leaving college had adopted the stage as his profession. His name is well, we will know him by a fictitious one Harry Thomas, for he is at present in the zenith of the theatrical world, and thousands would recognize him if his name was given in these columns. His story ran thus: "As you are aware, Jack, I left college when I was within a little of 18. Well, I had always a great desire to emulate those sterling heroes of prowess I had studied so much about "And there being no other opening in which to test my abilities I determined at once to adopt the stage and make it the field of my mimic conquests, little dreaming of the difficult task which I had voluntarily imposed upon myself. "How few of the outside world know 6f the incessant toil of an actor's life! "Ho is nothing but a schoolboy.

For as soon as one piece is committed to memory another is placed in his hands, and so on a life of perpetual study and labor. "After some trouble I obtained the unenviable position of 'supe' in one of our principal theaters. And after spending two years in this branch was promoted to play 'utility "And here I remained three years more, listening to the plots and schemes of the villains and heroes in different dramas. "I assure you that by this time my ardor had cooled considerably, and many a time while poring over my part in some new piece I have sincerely wished that I had chosen some other means of earning a living. "The manager saw that I possessed more than ordinary talent, so he intrusted me with a part in which I played second to tho hero of the piece.

"I carried myself through very creditably, and tho journals the next morning in their criticisms said: 'Mr. Thomas is a young and very promising actor good in gesture and correct in delivery. "Well, at this time a young lady a star in her line we will know her as Louisa Dietz was engaged to play the principal role in a drama which the manager intended to open with and play during the Christmas holidays. "It inclined rather to the Thespian style in the opening, bnt ended up as usual, with virtue triumphant, and all the villains either shot or sent to state prison for life. "The piece required a great deal of study.

In short, we had rehearsal every day for nearly a month, and during that time I fell desperately in love with Louisa Dietz, the heroine of the play. "It was love at first sight, but whether my passion found an answering thrill in her bosom I could not tell. "Sometimes, when alone, I would call myself a fool, a madman for how could I for a moment expect an alliance between myself a newly pledged knight of the dramatic art, and Louisa Dietz, whose name was sufficient to cram any theater with the wealth and beauty of the land. "'The actor who was to play the hero of the drama was a tall, fine, dark looking man, and it nearly set me crazy to see him (when the business of the piece required it) clasp her to his breast. In my fevered imagination, I thought that he used more earnestness than the nature of the occasion required.

Well, at last the final rehearsal but one was over, and the following Monday night (which was Christmas) the drama was to be presented to the public. Monday dawned fair and bright, the air was cool and crisp. The last rehearsal had been called for this morning at 11 o'clock.

STERN DISCIPLINE. It Is Necessary Iu War and the Soldier Must Learn to Submit. One of Detroit's retired officers, who fought in two wars and helped for years to restrain the savage outbreaks of our Indians, thus delivered himself to the writer: "The very hardest lesson a young American has to learn when he enters the army is that of obedience. For the first time, his individual authority is dethroned. He is as fractious as a thoroughbred colt that long rebels against the whip and spur.

It is hard for him to understand that his freedom of action must be subordinated to military necessity. He chafes, if ho does not openly rebel, but when once whipped into line he makes the best soldier on earth. "My first drillmaster had been my friend and the friend of my family from my boyhood up. We had hunted and fished and courted together and exchanged secrets with a freedom that does not obtain among brothers. One day, early in my experience as a soldier, and while everything was being hurried with a view to getting us into Mexico, we had been drilling till I felt ready to drop.

The repeated orders struck pain to my ears and I would have conscientiously sworn that my musket weighed a ton. At length, when within easy earshot of him, I shouted, 'For heaven's sake, Bob, stop this tomfoolery and let's go over to the "He never looked at me but roared, 'Corporal, take that man and drill him like the devil. "The corporal did, and I thought I'd die of exhaustion. I fully meant to challenge the drillmaster and whip him if he declined, but ho succeeded in making me understand the imperative necessity of unquestioning obedience in the soldier. It's tough with the raw recruit, but the quicker he learns his part the better it is for all concerned." Detroit Free Press.

WAYS OF THE BLUE CRAB. Some of Its Peculiarities as Observed at New York's Aquarium. While the blue crab is not commonly thought of as a swimmer and does in fact spend the greater part of its time on the bottom, yet it can very easily sustain itself in the water and swim at a very fair rate of speed. It swims endwise, and when swimming it carries one big claw thrown forward and bent back at the middle joint, making a point projecting at that end of tho body, while the other big claw trails straight out astern. If it changes direction, it crooks the claw it had been carrying straight and lets the other go free.

If it sustains itself in the water without progressing, it carries its big claws in front of itself as it would naturally do under ordinary circumstances on the bottom, but it has to keep its little claws in motion to sustain itself, and in swimming the little, claws aro kept actively at work. Besides making a goi degree of progress through tho water in swimming the blue crab can change its course or 6wim to a higher or lower level with facility. When frightened, the blue crab moves off sideways, but when moving about at home and undisturbed it may move straight forward. Its body may be inclined at any angle to the line of progress, but its motion still be forward, the big claws carried cr coked around in front. It may be seen moving thus in one of the larger tanks at the aquarium, in which there are blue crabs, lobsters and other things.

The temperature of the water now just suits the crustaceans, and they are very lively. Blue crabs may be seen swimming here, and also walking about, stepping down from stones that are as high as they themselves are wide with perfect dignity, if not grace of manner, and walking or carrying their claws before them.

"I was standing at the prompter's Btand, when suddenly a wild thought I shot through my brain. "Why couldn't I play the part? For, having such a number of rehearsals, I was as perfect in his part as I was in my own. "No sooner had the idea entered my mind than I acted upon it, and going up to the manager I said: 'I know this part, and I have no doubt if you will intrust it to my care I can go through with it "He grasped me warmly by the hand and said: 'Thanks, thanks, Mr. Thomas. I have every faith in your ability.

"But I cared more for the grateful look in Louisa's eyes as she walked by my side and said: 'I, too, will ever owe you a service, which will be impossible to "So it was decided that I should as sume the principal role, while a person, after some trouble, was obtained who could, no doubt, by gagging and being "followed closely, put through my part. Well, at last the evening arrived and with immense crowds that flocked-from all quarters. "At a quarter before 8 the manager stepped before the curtain and narrated the accident to the audience, and then begged their kind indulgence in my behalf, who at the last moment, rather than have them disappointed, had volunteered to play the part. all this time, had been looking through a small hole bored in the proscenium. "The house was packed from parquet to dome with as refined an audience as ever I have had the pleasure to play to.

"At 8 o'clock precisely the curtain was rung up and the play commenced. "Neither Louisa nor I appeared until the second scene. "I was standing in breathless anxiety, leaning against one of the flats, upon the prompt side, while she stood slightly flushed, but perfectly collected, upon the 'O. side. "I had perfect confidence in myself, but every actor, no matter how perfect he may be, will feel an indescribable sensation of you hardly say what when he is about to stake his reputation in a new role before the public.

"Well, at last the first scene was called in. "And amid a deathlike silence the star of the evening walked on. "Instantly a storm of applause greeted her, and echoed and re-echoed around and among the scenery like the rumbling of distant thunder. "The scene represented a garden in which she was soliloquizing as to whether her lover (me) was true to her, or whether he was playing her false. "At last I received my cue, and went on.

"My entrance was again the signal for deafening applause, which was continued for nearly five minutes, and it gave me time to fully think over what I was about to say. "Finally all was once more quiet, and I commenced my delivery. "It abounded in protestations of my undying fidelity and love for her. "As I continued I warmed up with the subject. I was almost carried away by the intensity of my feelings.

"I forgot that hundreds of eyes were critically watching every gesture and that attentive ears were devouring the words as they fell from my lips. "I saw only before me the woman I loved. And the passion which I was outpouring to her ears was not the love of the hero of the play, but sinvply the love of Harry Thomas for Louisa Dietz. "When I had finished, the curtain descended amid showers of bouquets and deafening applause. "The latter was continued until we both appeared before the curtain.

"I need not dwell upon the remainder of the performance. Let it suffice to say that we both received a perfect ovation. "And that night, when the curtain had descended for the last time, the manager came hurrying in to where I was in the greenroom, and seizing me by the hand he said, his voice trembling with emotion: 'You have saved the reputation of my house. "And thereupon he drew up papers of agreement trebling my salary and engaging me to play leading business. "I need hardly add that my fame.
