Tho Crow's Children.
iiy rmi:nu cAtiv.
huntsman, bearing his gun In a Held,
Went whistling merrily;
When he heard the blackest of nil black crows
Call out from n withered tree :
You oro going to kill the thievish bird.,
And I wouiu II I were you i
Hut you mustn't touch my family,
Wlmtcvcr olso you do I"
'in only going to kill the birds
That aro eating up my crops
And If your yoiMS ones do such thing.,
llo sure they'll have to stop."
O," said the crow, "my chlldieu
Are tho best ones ever born !
Theie Isn't ono among them oil
Would steal a grain of corn,"
Hut how shnll I know which nne they are?
Do they resemblo you 7" blriH,
'O no," said tho trow, 'they're Ihe pictlhst
And tho whitest that ever Howl"
So otr went tho spoilsman, whistling,
,ndorr, ton, went his gun ;
nd Us startling echoes never ceased
Again tilt the day was done.
And theold crow sal untroubled,
cawing away In her nook i
'or she said, "He'll never kill my birds.
Since I told him how they look."
'Now theie's tho hawk, my neighbor,
hhe'U sec what she will see, soon;
nd that saucy, whistling blackbird
.May have to change his tune!"
When, Io I she saw the huuler,
Tuning ins homeward track.
With a string of ctows as long us his gnu,
Hanging down his back,
Alack, alack !" said the mother,
What lu tho woild have you done?
on promised to sparo my pretty birds,
Aud you've killed them every one!"
Your birds l" suld the puzzled hunter:
Why, I found them lu my corn:
And besides they arc black aud ugly
As auy that ever wero born I"
Get out of my sight, you stupid!"
Said tho angriest of crows ;
How good and fair the children are,
There's none but a p.ireut knows I"
Ah! I sec, I see," said the hunter.
'Hut not as you do, uulto;
t takes a mother to be so bliud
Bho can't tell black fiom white I"

Oh! how fetill thobaby's lying,
Aud they whisper "nho in dying 1"
Tears and prayers cannot savo her,
8ho imifetgo to 111m whogave her;
Those bright eyes ruiiHt closo forever,
Tliobo sweet lips must kiss us never;
Fold tho wee hands o'er her bosom,
And thus fades our llttlo blossom!
Wo havo guarded well our treasure;
Wo have loved her beyond measure ;
Much of earth, yet more of heaven,
Sho was only lent, not given;
lie, who did a brief time sparo her
Prom Ills garden, brighter, fairer,
Takes her to Ills realm supernal,
That tho bud bear bloom eternal !

structions from England, figured as tlio
villain is told in tho following sensa
tional anecdoto :
A few months after tho former adven
ture, Count Walewakl, then nmbassa'
dor In Loiidou,scntutelcgramin cipher
to Napoleon, Informing him tlmta man
named Ivelch, In tho pay of Mazzlnl,
was going to Paris In order to assassin
ato tho Emperor.
Tho latter immediately sent for tho
prefect of police, communicated tho
despatch to him, mid asked for an In
telligent, devoted, and euergetlcagont
31. Piotrl remembered his countrymen,
and received orders to present him
next evening during an Interval be
tween tho acts at tho opera.
Tho prefect lost no tlmo In Informing
Griscclli of his recommendation and
tho Emperor's orders. Tho secret agent
was delighted, but suddenly ho was
seized by a kind of vertigo, such as ho
had experienced moro than onco during
n duelj and upon tlio prefect's asking
him why ho turned so palo, ho could
only answer that ho felt thcro would
bo blood blicd In tho matter. Tho Cor
slcan was as superstitious Iu such things
as his master on tho throne.
Ho was punctually at tho opera, and
after tho first act tho prefect nnd tho
agent wero both summoned to tho im
perial box. As tho Emperor camo to
tho door and passed tho empress, ho
asked ono of tho oiliccrs on duty:
'Who Is that with tho prefect?" Ami
when ho was told that It was Coral-
can, no milieu: "(in, incu, no lias no
doubt, n stllotto." Aud all laughed
heartily nt the association of Ideas In
tho Emperor's mind. Hut thero was
moro lu tho words than fiey Imagined.
The Emperor beckoned tho two men to
follow him on tho tcrraco behind tho
box, which Is on n lirolcctod corner of
tho building, so that nobody can over
hear what is said there; and when thoy
wero seated at his command, ho turned
toQrlscelll and said :
"Orkcelll, I am glad to hear you nro
it Corslcun. AU tho men from tlio Island
have, from of old, been duvoted to my
family. M, Plctrl, who Is very much
Iiatcrcstcd In you, has spoken well of
you and your Intelligence and energy."
"You will need both In tho service
Iu which wo wish to employ you. I
want you to watch acertalu Kelch,who
has coino over from London with crim
inal Intentions; you will not loso sight
of him for n moment; follow litiu
wherover ho goes, nnd nsccrtatn his
plans. As soon as you linvo found him
out, you will Bhow him to mo, nnd then
wait for further orders."
Tho ngent had listened lu silence. It
was tho first tlmo tho llttlo Corsican
goatherd had found himself ln tlio
presenco of a crowned head. As booh,
howovcr, as tlio Emperor had ceased
speaking, ho replied:
"Sire, It will bo easy enough to find
hlui,nndlf tho prefect will havo tho
kindness to lot mu seo tho man's record
In tho poMco books,! can find out whero
ho used to llvo, how ho looks, and what
friends ho may havo in Paris."
"Very well," said 31. Plctrl; "I did
not think of that."
"As to showing him to your 3Iajesty,
that I cannot promise."
"Why not?"
"Uecauso if Kelch. should como near
to your 3tajesty befuro I havo hud tlmo
to point him out to you, I should cer
tainly kill him on tho spot."
Tho protect laughed, but Jsnpoloon re
mained calm and said nothing. After
a pause, ho ordered 31, Pietrl to pay to
Oriscelll n thousand francs, and to fur
nish him with everything ho might
need in tlio execution of his orders.
Ho also promised to direct horses nnd
n carriage to bo kept ready for him In
tho imperial stables, and then Inform
rtl him that un tho noxt day ho would
rldo out, toward two o'clock, lu the
Rols do Roulogne.
Thus ended tho first Interview
with tho Emperor, wliich subsequent
ly led to a slrango kind of Intimacy
between tho master and tho servant.
At tho end of tho opera, the prefect
and tho agent followed tho Emperor to
the Tulleries, whero they settled tho
money question, and then they went
to tho place where tho pollco records of
all suspicious characters aro kept. To
mask tho proceedings, tho prefect pro
tended that it was in contemplation to
pardon Kclch, who had been previous
ly engaged In n desperato conspiracy
When tho chief clerk In the ofilco heard
this, ho exclaimed: "Pardon Kclch!
Why , ho is the most desperate man I
know. When ho was arrested beforo
It took fourteen men to carry him to
tho guard-house. Ho had to bo hand-
cuffed and bound besides. Ho Is it per
feet Hercules."
The description In tho lists stated
that ho was llvo feet soven inches high,
of herculean proportIons,a very danger
ous man, and living with his brother
nt vaugirard. He was known to fro
quent a certain houso In thostrect whero
tho latter lived, In order to pay his nt
tentions to tlio pretty daughter of a
restaurant keeper.
At six o'clock on tho following morn
ing, Griscclli was standing in front of
tho restaurant, although it was one of
tho coldest days iu December. An hour
later, a pretty girl camo clown, called a
commissionaire, and gavo him a letter
to deliver in person. Not a word was
lost, and tho secret agent followed the
messenger, who went through tho
whole of Paris and did not ttop till ho
leached tho villago of 3IenlImoulant.
Ho rang" tho bell at a modest looking
hotis)1, and a man, Kclch himself, came
to tho door, took tho letter and said:
' "Thank you, I iiiu comitig at once. I
shall bo there beforo you."
His appearance and his deep, power
ful voice mado no special impression
upon tho agent, who derived, however,
great encouragement from tho fact that
this happened on it Friday. Imme
diately afterwards Kelch came out, took
a cab at tho lirst stand and drovo rap
idly to tho houso iu Vnugiraid. Gris
cclli had followed him closely, and saw
how tho wholo family camo running
down, embraced Kclch, and took him
hastily into tho house. Two hours later,
however, tho wholo party camo out
onco moro mid went to tho restaurant,
whero they enjoyed themselves at tablo,
tho young lady being tho soul of tho
wholo feast. Griscclli sat iu tho ad
joining room,whero ho could hear ovcry
word, and eat his modest cutlet. After
their lato breakfast they went to a liv
ery stablCjWhero Kclch hired a magnifi
cent horse, which ho seemed to know
at least by Its name, and when ho part
ed with his friends, ho raid In tho hear
ing of Griscclli:
1 'Napoleon's pollco aro too stupid to
find mo out. They think mo fast asleep
ln London. I need not go and hhlo
myself; I will como and sleep at tho
house. Do not bo afraid; I'll como to
night." Poor Kclch! ho did not know that his
boastful words wero all overheard by
ono of Napoleon's polico-agents, who
did not intend to loso sight of him, and
with whom ho was, cro long, to havo n
most unpleasant intervlow. Tho secret
agent was all tho moro determined to
succeed lu this nflAlr as ho had had
another attack of vertigo whllo eating
his chops nt tho restaurant, and firmly
bellovcd, on this account, that this was
n matter of llfo and death for hlmsolf as
well as for Kclch.
Precisely at two o'clock, Louis Na
poleon, accompanied only by two offi
cers on duty, appeared on tho public
t-quaro, coming from tho Tulleries.
Kelch who was then on tho brldgo near
tho palace, dashed up nt n full gallop.
Thosecrot agent, well mounted Jrom
tlio imperial btablcs, was closo behind
him, tho head of his horso nearly touch
ing tho saddlo of tho assassin, as tho
Emperor came, lu his left hand ho
had gatheicd tho rolns with his right
ho grasped firmly tho stllotto In his bos
om. Hut Kclch allowed his lutondcd
victim to pass qulotly nnd mado no
movement. Ho was not to dio so pub.
licly.
As soon as tho Emperor had passed
tho two men, whom ho recognized per
fectly, ho gavo his horso roln ami rodo
at full speed to tho great lako In tho
Itol.sTto Roulogne. Ho was followed by
perhaps thirty persons; but, wishing to
rid hlmselt of tho crowd of curious
peoplo who btarcd at him everywhere,
ho onco moro started nt it tremendous
rate, so that hardly any ono could fol
low, and rotlred to tho Tulleries. Kelch
left him soniotlmo before, and returned
to tho houso of his friends. Tho samo
sccno was nlmost dally repeated for a
JbrtnlL'ht, during which poor Kolch was
not permitted to bo ono moment out of
sight, Tho secret agent followed htm
on foot and on horseback wherever ho
went, often dining at tho samo tablo
with him, or seated at his sldo at tho
theatre; and yet so full was tho unforttt
nato man of his own great purposothat
ho novcr noticed how ho was watched
and followed.
The Emperor had repeatedly sent for
Griscclli, and ono day, whllo tho latter
was making his report tho prefect of
tho pollco entered with n loiter lu which
Kclch informed Mazzlni that tho Em
peror would not survive two days lon
ger. Ho Insisted upoii being author
ized to nrrest tho would-bo murderer
on tho spot; Louis Napoleon had his
own plans, and ordered tho secret agent
to ask for n particular horso, and to ho
on duty nt two o'clock, for tho usual
rldo with tho emperor.
All the persons interested iu tho con
spiracy wero at tho Hanio hour again
on tho Plitfo do la Concorde tho Em
peror, followed by a Blnglo adjutant,
Kelch, In his big top ljoots,wlth n green
overcoat, under which ho hail soino
thing concealed; and Griscclli, in plain
costume. As soon as Kclch pcrcolvod
Napoleon, ho galloped up towards him;
tho Emperor thereupon started at full
Bpeed, and tho secret ngent had only
tlmo to whisper to tho Jockeys to keep
closo to their mastcr,and then to follow
as ho could. When tho parly reachod
tho Bols do Boulogne, thero began u
regular race at a fearful pace; low walls,
hedges, brooks all wero passed, they
hardly knew how, aud tho good Pari
sians who saw them lly llko a vision,
said tho Emperor was cither drunk or
mad.
Ho was neither ono or tho other; ho
was only afraid of his life. After a race
of threo hours they returned tho samo
way they had come; tho horses wero
whito with foam, and tho secret agent
understood why ho had been ordered to
select a particular horse.
When they camo near tho Tulleries,
Kelch was forced to remain behind; In
splto of all ho could do with tho spnr
and whip, his horso was unable to go
any further; he was completely broken
down. This suggested to Griscclli a
bold thought; ho mado n great effort,
rodo past tho Emperor, and cried
aloud :
"Hurrah for tho Napoleons ! Tho as
sassin is beaten !"
Tho Emperor looked behind h!in,and
seeing tho poor wretch In such a bad
plight, rodo on slowly, ordering tho
agent to follow him to tho palace. When
ho entered his rooms, Napoleon still per
spiring violently, threw himself into
a chair, and then drew from a secret
drawer five thousand francs, which he
gave to Griscclli with tho words :
"Go rest, wo shall want you again
Send mo Plctrl."
Tho secret nccnt had not rested an
hour when waked by tho prefect of po
lice, who directed him to como to his
houso at midnight. When ho appeared
thero ho found, to his surprise, forty
men who wero to help htm in arresting
Kelch. Alter n long discussion, ho
agreed to tako threo of them whom ho
carefully picked from tho number, and
after having received a written order,
explicitly commanding him to bring
tho assassin dead or alive, he started on
his errand.
Thoy went at onco to tho restaurant
where Kelch was In tho habit of drop
pine; in several times a tiny und order-
Itigdlnuerfursix persons. Atsix o'clock
precisely, ou n second Friday, a certain
3Iorelli entered, who had just crossed
over from London in ortier to neip
Kelch. and asked when tho matter
was likely to como on. They told him
at nlno o'clock; and when tlio clock
struck, Kelch arrived. Whllo ho was
drinking n glass of absinthe, ono of tho
mon was ordered to arrest Jlorclll; and
when this was dono quietly in an ad
joining room, Griscelll and another offi
cer fell upon Kelch. Tlio latter, now
over, escaped by a gigantic effort, ran
swiftly through tho dining room nnd
several chambers, Jumped out or tlio
window and fell lnsldo of n llttlo court
yard, from which a llttlo door led to the
street. If that gate had been open tho
wholo work of tho fortnight would
ha vo been lost, tho murderer would
havo escaped, and Louis Napoleon
might not have lived to too his destiny
established. Hut Griscclli drewcourago
onco moro from his fatalistic belief that
Friday brought 111 luck to his victim,
and that his two attacks of vertigo fore
told tho shedding of blood. Ho follow
ed Kelch, who, when ho found that ho
co uld not open tho door, and 'that his
crlmo was detected, resolved to sell his
llfo at tho utmost prlco.
Ho roso and cocked his pistol; Gris
cclli did tho same, and for a fow seconds
tho two men looked at cacli other In si
lence; then an explosion was heard.and
when tho suioko was cleared otr, Kelch
was seen lying on tho stones bathed iu
blood. Tho bull entered at tho noso,
passed through tho right eye, anil camo
out behind tho ear. Ills own ball had
merely grazed tho car of Griscelll. At
tho noiso, his accomplice, 3Iorelll, camo
Into tlio court, and seeing what hail
happened, tried to Jump over tlio wall,
hut tho secret agent was too quick for
hltn. Ho 11 red again, and tho ball hroko
3IorclU's right shoulder, disabling him
Instantly.
At ten o'clock, tho two emissaries of
3fttzziul wero Iu tho yard of tho profect
of police. 31. Plctrl was overjoyed; ho
embraced his onergetlc favorite, und
then hastened to announce) tho good
news at tho Tulleries, whero all tho
ministers wero assembled, full of anxi
ety on account of this attempt on tho
life of tho Emperor.
Tho latter sent at onco for Griscelll,
and gavo him a gratuity of ten thous
and francs; tho minister of pollco add
ed a largo sum, and tho Empress prom
ised to provldo for his daughter till ho
reached tho ago of eighteen at u con
vent school which sho had taken undor
her special control. All tho court offi
cers hastened, as a matter of course, to
congratulato tho favorlto of their mas
ter on his brilliant success.
On tho following day tho secret ngent
was summoned to tho cabinet of tho
Emperor, anil thero, in tho presonco of

that from that day It would bo his duty
to watch over tho sarety of Louis Napo

abroad and at home, except ln the Inte

would bo allowed to approach tho per

been Informed of tho deslro beforehand.
During tho Emperor's travels In tho
provinces, tho gens d'armcs and tho po
llco wero to bo only under his orders,
and all responsibility would rest upon
his shoulders.
Thus it was that tho poor illiterate
boy camo to llvo In Intimacy with tho

XVcuialgia.
Tho eoi tit hi euro for neuralgia is found
injudicious eating and exercise; and
not only so, n permanent euro cannot
bo effected in any other way, whllo
these aro always efficient.
In neuralgia tho blood Is always too
thick, Impure, and iu excess; and as
diet aud exociso combino to remedy
these conditions, somo rules In relation
to them aro desirable. These will bo
adapted to sedentary persons, to those
who llvo Indoors generally, as women,
students, bookkeepers, and the like.
It is rather belter to eat thrico a day,
morning, noon, and night; that is, as
soon after sunrise as practicable, for
breakfast; dinner about 1 o'clock; sup
per beforo sundown.
asat notning whatever between meats.
Breakfast, a single cup of colTeo or
tea, somo cold bread and butler, with n
dish of berries or stowed fruit In sum
mer time, nnd nothing else; In winter,
meat, fish or poultry, or, In their stead,
a couple of soft-boiled eggs.
Supper should bo made of cold bread
and butter, and a cup of warm drink
of somoklnd, and nothing else,
Dinner tho samo as breakfast, adding
only vegetables and somo fruit, raw or
stewed, as n dessert, and nothing elso.
A different kind of vegetable may bo
taken ovcry other day for variety; tho
kind of meat may bo changed at each
meal.
Tho object In tho specification nbovo
made Is to dlscourago variety of meals,
becauso it is this which tempts all to
cat too much. Persons at times havo
felt at tho tablo that thoy had eaten
enough; but on seeing a very inviting
dish unexpectedly brought in, a good
meal has been eaten of this last variety.
Tho general and hurtful error is that
too great a variety Is spread on our ta
bles, not only occasioning troublo of
preparation and great loss, but also a
positlvo injury in tho temptation of tho
appetite. Tho reader may try it upon
himself on any two days. A dinner of
ono vegetable, ono kind of meat and
bread; at dinner tho noxt day, let a
great variety bo presented; ho will eat
double tho amount at tills repast, with
this remarkable dltTerence; an hour
after the first meal, ho will bo entirely
comfortablo, will feel as It ho had eaten
qulto enough; an hour after tho latter,
there will bo a decided discomfort, n
fulness, rt feeling as if somo kind of re
lief wero desirable, and iu too many
eases a resort to tho decantor, with the
vain hopo of a rlddanco in somo way.
It cannot bo denied that the first slops
toward Intemperate habits have boen
taken in using liquors to remove tho
unpleasant consequences of over-eating.
A very great aid toward overcoming a
habit of too hearty eating will be found
in sitting down to a tablo with only
threo varieties of food. Dr. IlalVa

Dr.
Llvlngstono's Adventure
tho Xiion.
with
Tho following oxtract from Dr. Llv
lngstono's account of his adventuros ln
Africa, during ono of his early visits,
may bo now to somo of our readers: "In
going round tho end of tho hill I saw
ono of tho beasts sitting on n plcco of
rock as before, but this tlmo ho had a
llttlo hush in front. Being about thir
ty yards off, I took a good aim at his
body through tho buih, and fired both
barrels Into It. Tho men then called
out: 'lie Is shot ho is shot!' Others
cried: 'Ho has been shot by another
man, too! Let us go to hlml' I did
not oo nny ono elso shoot nt him, hut I
saw tlio lion's tall erected In anger bo-
hind tbo bush, and turning to the peo
ple, said: 'Slop ft llttlo till 1 load again.'
-When lu tho act of ramming clown
tho bullets I heard a shout.
"Starting and looking half round, 1
Raw the lion Just in tho act of springing
upon mo. I was upon a llttlo height;
ho caught my shoulder as ho sprang,
and wo both camo to tho ground below
together. Growling horribly closo to
my ear, ho shook mo as a terrier does a
rat. This shock produced n stupor slm
iliarto that which seems to bo felt by a
mouso after tho first shako of a cat. It
caused n sort of dreaminess, In which
thero was no senso of pain, no feeling
of terror, though quite conscious of all
that was happening. It was llko what
patients partially under tho lnfluonco
of chloroform describe, who seo all tlio
operation, but feel not tho knife. This
singular condition was not the result of
any mental process. Tho shako annihi
lated fear, and allowed no senso of hor
ror In looking round at tho beast. This
peculiar stato Is probably produced In
all animals killed by tho cariiivortt;
and, if so, Isa merciful provision by tlio
benevolent Creator for lessening tho
pain of death. Turning round to ro
llevo myself of tho weight, as ho had
but ono paw on tho back of my head, I
saw his eyes d Ircctcd towards 3Iebalwe,
who was trying to shoot him at n dis
tance of ten or fifteen yards. His gun,
a flint ono, missed firo In both barrels;
tho lion Immediately left me, and at
tacking 3Iebalwo bit his thigh. Anoth
er man, whose llfo I had saved beforo,
after he had boon tossed by a buffalo,
attempted to spear tho lion while ho
was biting Jlebalwe. Ho left Jlebalwo
and caught this man by the shoulders,
but nt this moment tho bullets ho had
received took effect, nnd ho fell down
dead. The whole was tho work of a
few minutes, nnd must havo been his
paroxysms of dying rage. In order to
tako out the charm from him tho Bak
tala on tho following day mado a huge
bonfire over the carcass, which was de
clared to be that of tho largest Hon they
had ever seen. Besides crunching tho
bono Into splinters, ho left cloven teeth
wounds in tho upper part of my arm.
A wound from this animal's tooth re
sembles a gunshot wound; it is gener
ally followed by n great deal of slough
ing and dischargo and pains nro felt per
iodically over afterward. I had on a
tai tan jacket on tho occasion, nnd I be
lieve that it wiped off nil tho virus from
tho teeth that pierced tho ilesh; for mi'
two companions in this affray havo both
buffered from tho peculiar pains, while
I havo escaped with only tho inconven
ience of n false joint in the limb. Tho
man whoso shoulder was wounded
showed mo his wound actually burst
forth afresh on tho samo month of tbo
following year. This curious point
deserves tho attention of Inquirers."
Statistics of Human life.
According to a Freuch statistician,
taking tho mean of many accounts, a
man CO years of ago has slept 0,000 days v
worked C.500, walked 00 days, amused
himself 1,000 doys, was eating 1,500
days, was sick COO days etc. no ato
17,000 pounds of bread, 10,000 pounds of
meat, 1.CO0 pounds of vegetables, eggs
and fish, and drank 7,000 gallons of li
quid, namely, water, cofl'eo, tea, beer,
wine, etc., all together. Thi3 would
niRko a respcctablo lako of threo hun
dred square feet surface and three feet
deep, on which a small steamboat could
navigate. And all this solid and liquid
material passing through n human bo
ingln CO years! Verily thero is after
all somo truth in tho story of tho ogro
who drank a lako dry, to catch tho fu
gitives that wero sailing over it. Any
man can do the same only givo mm
tlmo !
This estlmato is, howovcr, made for a
Frenchman. For an American wo
havo to modify It, by lessening tno
number of days ho devotes to amuso-
mcnts.aiulln placo of this substitute
1.000 davs for quietly rpccuiating now
to get moro of tho almighty dollar, 1,
C00 days for traveling by steam and
horso power, and 200 days for waiting
for means of transportation. 'J.uo tatter
number is by no means over estimated
for tho Inhabitants of Now York or
Philadelphia, or other largo cities oi
tho Union.
Lord Emjox, onco speaking of cir
cumstantial evidence, remarked: "1
remember onco, In ncaso whero I was
counsel, that tho cvidonco for a long
tlmo did not appear to touch tno pris
oner at all, and ho looked about him
with tho most perfect solf-controi, evi
dently feeling himself perfectly sale.
At last a surgeon was called, wuo situ-
cd that tho deceased had been killed by
a shot, a guu-shot wound in tho head,
and ho produced tho matteu nair, ami
stuff cut from and taKcn out ot tno

A basin of warm water was brought In-
o court, and r.s tho blood was gradual
y softened, n pleco of printed pup r
appeared, tho wadding of tho gun,
which proved to bo part or a naiiau
Tho other half had been found in the
man's pocket when ho was arrested,

"GKNTi.HMrx," said an eminent
counsel, "thero aro threo points upon
