NIGHT IN A GREAT CITY,
An Interesting Sketch of Toronto
Dark.
After'
When the Drowsy Stars Blink the Roy-
sterer Carnes Ont—The Toilerand
Guardians of the Night—The Watchman
Is a Walking Eneyelopzedia—The Water
Pollee Aetive—The A11N1gh Restanr•
ant and the Hash/Ban Are Recognized
Necessities—Row the Horning News-
paper Is rut Together.
There are certain unconscious hours be-
tween midnight and the dawning, the time
when theatres are dark and saloons silent;
when the trolley has ceased its distressing
sibillation, and the streets are given over to
the infrequent tinkle of the night car bell;
when the roar of traffic has subsided, and
the watchman's footfall is heard with start-
ling distinctness on the stony pavement;
when adventurous rats came boldly from
their lurking places to forage in the gutter;
when even the rapacious banana man has
swallowed his mercenary chant and has gone
home to dream of Tuscan hills and grassy
valleys; when drowsy stars blink for very
sleepiness, and the late full moon struggles
with the electric light to swathe the night
in spirit garments of white. Between the
hours of 12 p.m. and 5 a.m., when Jarvis
and Bloor and the host of lesser residential
streets have donned their night caps, py-
jamas or other slumber clothes, when rich
and poor are wrapped in the arms of Mor-
pheus—a gentleman, by the way, whose
embraces are strictly impartial—down in
that portion of the city most congested by
day there is still a silent army of workers
laboring in the night.
THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULDN'T DE OUT.
But first,as to those who have no business
to be out at these uncanny hours. The
young man who has heard that spirits walk
abroad in darkness, staggers from his too
familiar intercourse with them. He it is
who vexes the drowsy ear of night by sing-
ling songs of.Bacchanalian import in a voice
as husky as the whistle of the Chicora. His
inclinations run to cabs furiously driven to
various places where he "knows the ropes.”
The hotel clerk, who goes to bed when there
are no longer those around to appreciate
the glitter of his diamond, knows him not,
but the sleepy porter who takes his place
can tell you how very thirsty he was and
how many bottles of ale he drank at 25 cents
per swiggle. Perhaps it is well that some-
one should keep tally,for when this amateur
Fortunatus, who in the daytime wields a
yard stick, wakes up next morning with a
seal brown taste in his mouth he can re-
member nothing. This dissipated young
man has unlimited tastes but a limited sal.
a,ry. He can "paint the town red" only so
long as his scanty material lasts, and so by
2 am. he has reached his tether, crept into
his boarding house by the back window and
fallen into oblivion on the back stairs.
Requiescat in pace. Those who bewail the
nightly vice of great cities must except To-
ronto. The picture sketched above is not a
frequent one.
THEY NEVER SLEEP.
Everyone knows that while the city
sleeps at least one-third of Chief Grasset's
noble blue -coated three hundred keep
watch and ward over their lives, their pro-
perty and their dreams. Of course a
policeman never sleeps on his beat. Unlike
the great Horner, he does not even nod.
He never retires into a secluded doorway
and indulges in a clandestine puff of a
cigar given to him by some, belated but
affectionate reveller. He never waits un-
til the patrol sergeant goes by to take
from his pistol pocket a charge far less
deadly and much more refreshing than
lead. He does none of these things. The
general security of all entrusted to his care
is the Lest record that he does his duty.
The private watchman is another creature
of the night. He is much more friendly
thanyour regular peeler. He will stand
and deliver to a reporter all that he knows
with the utmost grace and good nature. In
ease of a fire he is able to give the most
minute details. He has the insurance and
companies and tenants by heart. He is a
walking encyclopmdia of information, and
he always ends up " I pulled the box. My
name is Jones --John Jones." Yes, the
private watchman has a great thirst for
newspaper fame, and is jealously regarded
by those other regularly constituted guar-
dians of the peace who have brass buttons.
There is one grey head and jovial face
known to every night bird. It is that of
Watchman Burroughs. Night in and night
out, winter and summer, rain and moon-
shine, storm and no moon at all, for a score
of honorable years has Watchman Bur-
roughs answered the question :
" WHAT OF THE NIGHT ?"
His dog Jack is grown old in the service,
and when his master stops to have a chat
he is glad nnough to stretch out on the
pavement aud take a rest.' But honest,
faithful Jack ever keeps one eye open, and
no one has ever had the hardihood to say he
was not as vigilant as he should be. And
what a mine of information is Watchman
Burroughs ! He is the good angel of young
reporters seeking for news. And his father-
ly interest in their behalf has prevented
more than one of them from being regularly
and properly " scooped." Long may he
live, he and his dog " Jack."
Then there are the water police—the night
watch of the S.O. E. life boat station. The
little dingey goes out at midnight for a two•
hour patrol on the water front. Within it
the aquatic Coiling, the Argus -eyed and
Briareus handed Mr. BarnSciale or that de-
lightfully reminiscent man -o' -war's man Mr.
Tyler. 'Tis true that there be not many
water thieves nowadays. Pirates are few
and far between, and marderers have other
means of disposing of their victims than by
dumping -them in the bay, but the water
patrol nevertheless does a very useful work
in finding and restoring what might became
flotsam and jetsam if left. alone.
A midnight ride in the dingey, with the
full moon silvering the lisping waves with
molten music, with the dark outlines of the
island to the south and the mysterious
mingling of cloud and water beyond, with
the ghostly forms orpalace steamers and
white:winged yachts along the shores is an
object lesson hi beauty, which would make
even the eynid a poet.
THE ALL-NIGHT RESTAURANT. _
The all-night restaurant is a recognized
institution. The bill of fare must be boun-
tiful, for night hawks are voracieus. The
waiter who is habited as is his diurnal con-
frere, is like him in other respects except
that he has that peculiar owl -eyed luminous
look, which is an attribute °hill who work
by night.
;A night waiter puts the most liberal in.
.t,erpretation on the order for "a small steak."
He is accustomed to cater to appetites
stimulated by alcoholic beverages, and is
generous accordingly. It is a true say-
ing that the night reetainant deals for
the most part with those who are " out for
a time."
Unlike these occasional butterflies, the
busy bees of night have their honey brought
to thene Mahomet being unable to reach
the mountain, the mountain conies to him.
The restaurant conies to the diner. In
other words, a lunch man with all the nec-
essary paraphernalia for a good but cheap
naeal visits the night offices with his waggon
and dispenses tea, Milk, coffee and solids at
reasonable rates. At the telegraph offices
the tireless operators are ticking away in-
dustriously. The messenger boy, who does
not dawdle as in the day time, hies hot
foot to
THE VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS,
bearing with him the "flimsy" which tells
of Horne Rule, of Siam, of the Behring sea
case, of crime, of love and treachery. He
could not play marbles if he wished unless
the policeman at the corner should by chance
indulge. There the night editor with his
coat off, and the city editor with his sleeves
up hustles through the"copy" that gives a
relish to your roll at breakfast. The printers
stick clicks merrily to the lively type, the
stereotyper fumes and growls and the press-
man perspires. Filially the stereotyped
forms go down to the press room, the big
machines turn out the necessary thousands
for their subscribers, the lights in printing
and editorial departments go out and by 4
a.m. the morning paper is ready to find its
wayall over the world. Then, and only then,
the weary newspaper man boards a car,
which says imperatively, " fare ten cents
cash," and underneath, by way of reason,
tells you "this is a night car." Night car isa
misnomer. It is really morning. The dawn
in russet mantle clad peeps from the purple
rim of lake Ontario. The tall buildings look
cold in the grey light, the water gurgling
at the hydrants has a chilly sound, the elec-
tric lights look garish. But then conies a
change. The sun is higher. In the east is a
prismastic glory of color which melts and
fuses itself into one golden splendor gild-
ing towers and steeples and bestowing on all
the smiles of a new-born day.
Henry Marsh.
The author of " Heroes of the Goodwin
Sands" records e gallant deed of Henry
Marsh, one of the lifeboat crew at the
Downs, in the eastern part of England. A
furious temptest was blowing, and several
vessele had gone ashore and broken up in a
few minutes. Then Marsh determined to
go down to the beach and see if something
could be done. " Don't you go near them
said his wife, fearfully; but he only replied,
" I'll just take a bit of bread and cheese in
my pocket, and my short pipe, and I'll be
back soon."
He found the beach crowded with spec-
tators, and the ma breaking over a French
brig which had jest gone ashore. The rig-
ging was thick with ice, and the snow froze
as it fell. She was rocking wildly with the
motion of the tremendous sea. Between her
and the beach were ten feet of deep water,
which, with each giant recoil, swept round
her in fury.
" Are all the people out of that there
brig ?" called Marsh.
" All but two," said the bystanders,
" and we can't get no answer from them.
They're gone, they are."
" Won't nobody go to save 'em ?"
" Which way are you going to save 'em ?"
was the chorus.
" I'm a -going !" said Marsh. " Here,
hold my jacket. Don't you hold me back.
I'm a -going to try. Let go of me !" and
seizing the line which led from the rocking
brig to the shore, he rushed neck deep into
the surf.
The next instant he was swept off his
feet, but on he went, hand over hand, till
he was dashed against the ship's side.
" He's killed !" shouted the bystanders ;
but up he clambered, still hand over hand.
The vessel reeled inward, and with the aw-
ful recoil down Marsh slipped upon the
loosened rope.
" He's gone !" was the next cry ; but with
true bulldog tenacity, he was still struggl-
ing. At last, nearly exhausted, he won the
deck.
Taking breath, he fastened a line around
his waist and to a belaying pin. Then he
discovered a senseless form. Holbrooke,
the pilot, a friend of his own, who, fast dy-
ing with the cold and drenching spray, was
muttering:
" The poor boy ! the poor boy !"
"I'm Marsh, and I've come to save you!"
cried the rescuer.
" No, I shall be lost, lost 1"
" No, you won't! I'll send you ashore on
the rope."
"No, you'll drown me !"
Finding that the poor boy of whom he mut-
tered was indeed lost and swept over board,
Marsh passed the rope round the nearly in-
sensible man, protecting and holding him as
the seas came. With an exercise of alrnost
superhuman strength, he gat him on the top -
rail of the bulwarks at the one critical mo-
ment.
" Are you ready 2' he shouted to the
people ashore.
Then he threw Holbrooke, in spite of him-
self, into the sea, and both were safely
drawn to land.
Marsh hurried away from the admiring
crowd, who were eager and loud with their
plaudits, and ran home in his frozen clothes
to the warm fireside and his "short pipe."
Unexploded Shells.
The battle of Konig-gratz has just—in-
directly it is true --claimed another victim,
the Daily News' correspondent tells ns. In
a small town near the field of battle a lock-
smith, in trying to open a shell, handled it
so cluinsily that it exploded and blew him
to pieces. He had brought three such shells
for the collection of projectiles of l866, pre-
served by a Herr Mayer in Koniggratz, and
probably he thonght they could not explode
after 27 years.

My Toothache
Is an exclamation heard every hour in
the day. Toothache is the most common
ailment of young and old, and in the aggre-
gate inflicts more suffering than perhaps any
other single complaint. A one minute cure
is just what every person desire to possess.
Nerviline—nerve pain cure—acts almost in-
stantly in relieving the agony, and a sample
bottle affords a quantity sufficient for 100
appliaations. 10 cents fills the bill. Poison's
Nerviline is the only positive remedy for
toothache and all nerve pains. Sold by all
dealers in medicine.

Some fancy the charms of the lily-white maid, I
Of ethereal form and languishing eye,
Who faints in the sunshine and droops in the
shade,
And is always "just ready to die."
But give me the girl of the sunshiny face,
The blood in whose veins courses healthy
and free,
With the vigor of youth in her movements of
grace,
Oh, that is the maiden for me :
She is the girl to " tie to " for life. The
sickly, complaining woman may be an ob-
ject of love and pity, but she ceases to be a
" thing of beauty" worn down by female
weakness and disorders, subject to hysteria
and a martyr to bearing -down pains. Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescriptioe is a sure cure
for these distressing complaints, and will
transform the feeble, drooping sufferer into
a healthy, happy, blooming woman. Guar-
anteed to give satisfaction in every case, or
