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.

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.
