A roynl tiger Illy,
With spots of purple and gold,
And a heart like n Jeweled challco,
Tho fragrant dew to hold.

High up In the old roof.trecs,

When Juno rolls mound with her roses,

Ah me I In a darkened chamber,
With the sunshlno shut nwny,
Through tho tenrs that fell llko 11 bitter rain.

And sweet ns n bnddf ns rose,

In the hush or n long rcpou'l
Up fiom tho dainty pillow.

The fair Utile face lay smiling.
With tho light of heaven thereon
And the dear llttlo hands, like rose leaves
Dioppcd fiom a rose, lay still,
Never to snatch nt tho sunshine
That crept to the shrouded sill I

With ribbons white as snow,
For the shining rosewood casket

Oh, a dainty plant is tho Ivy green,
That creepeth o'er ruins old!
Of right cholco food are his meals, I wcon,
In his cell so loue and cold.
Tho walls must bo crumbled, tho stone decayed,
To pleasuro his dainty whim :
And the smouldering dust that years have made,

Creeping where no lire Is seen,
A rare old plaut Is thr Ivy green.

Aud a staunch old heart has 'he,

To ills frieud tho huge OakTreol
And silly ho trallcth along the around,
And his lca es ho gently waves.
As he Joyously hugs nnd cruwlelh rouud

You see, It was coming on toward tho

hard on to n certainty that ho would bo
nominated, and crowd out the Buchan
an parly. I got stiro Information of tho
nightly caucuses of Slldell, Jcsso D.
Bright, Howell Cobb, Benjamin, and
that faction In Washington for they
met at Cobb's houso chielly and one
day it camo to mo straight as a wlro
Unit they had determined to force
Douglas Into tt light, and that It had
been proposed that Slldell should insult
Douglas in tho drinking saloon of tho
Senate, and if ho resented It, shoot him
down. I wrote tt) Douglas at once, but
knowing his habits so well, of leaving
letters unopened for days and weeks to
gether, I sent tho letter to a friend, and
commanded him to make Douglas open
it and poruso it, that ho might bo pre
pared. And in this letter I said: 'If
ou aro pushed to tho wall, telegraph
for Tom Hawkins, of Louisville."
"Well, I camo on from tho South
soon after that, and went up with
Georgo Pugh to seo Douglas. There wo
found nobody to pay much attention to
us. Douglas ecemed absorbed with
something else, and looking out of his
library, across tho hall, I saw Roger A.
Prior and Albert G. Brown, of Missis

no questions, but camo away, and soon
afterward started for New York. When

about three minutes delay, as tho West

And with that tho trains steamed
contrary ways.
"I found out tho matter nt Washing

"I found the Douglas household nil

"Wo all met that night, and Tom

Is guilty of tho murder of no less than
forty Infants whom sho took for $3 each

time of this woman's arrest, her houso
was found to contain Ecveral Infants,
nil ot who were being gently shoved
along tho road to death by tho aid of
"Paregoric Elixir" and other similar
npplianccs. For four years, it appears.
tills amiable dame lias been conducting
tlio business of baby-farming.
ADVEItTISI.SO l'OR 1IA11Y HOARDERS
Her mode of operation was to adver
tise under ono of hor many names, her
willingness to adopt an infant, on tho
payment of it premium of $5. Sho
would appoint a meeting at some rail
way station with those who replied to
these advertisements, and would there
mako tho bargain, which was to tlio
effect that tho 'infant and tho money
should bo handed over to her, and no
questions should lie asked on cither side
She did not ask wlicre the child camo
from ; tho party who disposed of it was
not to asK where it was to bo taken. In
thl3 manner, as has now been ascertain
ed, forty children have passed into this
woman's hands dining tlio last four
years. What has becomo of them
Well, what has becomo of uoinc of them
has been ascertained.
THE HOARDING HOUSE.
Tho houso whero this woman lived
was in a secluded spot, called Frederick
terrace, Brixton ; within a fow yards of
tlio houso aro somo vacant grounds call
ed Myatt's Field; and in these fields,
and in other places close at hand, have
lately been found the bodies of uo less
than fceven infants, all of which have
been at least partially identified as tlio
remains of children who were given to
Mrs. Waters, with io each, iu order to
receive a "mother's tender caro and
love." Tho evidence agalnsttho woman
hcemed to be perfectly a .'.elusive. Her
servant, Ellen O'Connor a miserable
creature, only fourteen years old, and
reminding one forcibly of Dick Swivo-
Iter's Marchioness teatilled that when
slio weut into tho prisoner's fcervice,
three months ago, ''there were seven
infants, and tho number shortly increas
ed to eleven. Mrs. Waters used to go
away from home, nnd when sho camo
back sho would bring a now baby with
her."
TAKING THEM TO THEIR LONG HOME.
"Ono night Waters took two of tho
children, who wcro very ill, away from
tho house; when she came back sho
brought somo of tho clothes of tho in
fants with her, nnd said sho had taken
them homo." Afterwards sho took
away another infant, and returned
without It; and uucut threo weeks ago
sho took a fourtli child away in tho same
manner. Tlio supposition is tnat tno
woman administered to tho Infants
enough "Paregoric Elixir" to kill them;
took them into tho fields, and left them
to perish. Tlio servant was in the habit
of going to tho po3t-ofilco to get letters
addressed to "Mrs. Oliver." and when
Waters had read these she generally
burned them.
SOME CORRESPONDENCE.
Luckily, however sho neglected to
destroy all her correspondence, and a
number of letlers wcro found In her
houso and read in Court. Ono of them
makes an appointment with her "at tho
Loughborough road station.on tho Lon
don, Chatham and Dover line, Juno
11th, at four, o'clock p. m.," and adds,
"pleaso wait In tlio llrst-elass waiting-
room, and wear a whito kerchief round
your neck in a conspicuous manner
shall wear a bluo striped shirt and a
frock coat." Another from a woman
says: "J should bo pleased to have you
tako cU(
, ,, 0
I would glvo i?3 with
her." Ono of Iho letters written by
Waters to a woman who proposes to glvo
her a baby, is as follows:

John Quill, who Is tho wittiest of
tho wits of the press, tells us of a chap
who went to farming with about as
much knowledgo of tlio art ns Horace
Greeley has displayed and published
Tho fellow planted potatoes and waited
for the llowers to ripen into fruit, until
tho wholo crop rotted in tlio ground.
Ho was told hcshould havo dug tho po
rtatoes soon after they ilowcrcd. He
cherished this odvlco and tried it on a
crop of tomatoes next year, rooting it
all up at the first sight of a Mower. . Of
course he didn't make a fortune in that
line. But wo heard of a smart Dutch
man down cast, tho story is old but
good as new, who bought n form aud
hired a Yankeo to run if on shares. Af
ter a good deal of haggling they agreed
that they should divido profits thusly
tho Dutchman to recelvo tho "tops"
and tho Yankee tho "bottoms" for tho
first year.
Tlio Dutchman loolctd forward hope
fully for a largo yield of wheat, rye,
oats, cabbage, salad, celery and other
good tilings that rise above tho ground;
and lie kind of chuckled in the thought
that ho had taken in. tho Yankee. Ho
didn't laugh so much when ho saw a
splendid crop of beets, onions and po-
utoes, radishes, turnips nnd all such
things, tlio "tops" of which didn't
amount to much, Tho Yankee took to
lis share naturally. -1 kindly without
complaint. Tlio Dutchman insisted that
next year lie would lake tho "bottoms.'
All right," says Jonathan, "I'll take
the 'lopx.' " "Alleisreeht," echoed the
oilier; but when ho saw nothing but
cabbage, salad, celery, pumpkins,
f-quashes, wheat, rye, oats, coming up
lio swoie in High Dutch ond dudgeon,
tho next year ho would havo both "fops
and bottoms" nnd "vool do Yankeo yet
py tamn." Jonathan, however, was
too cute again, ns ho planted for the
third year, only Indian corn, peas,
bean9, tomatoe?, Ac, of which he gavo
tho Dutchman tho "tops and bottoms"
and kept tho "middles" for himself.
The last we heard of tho members of
that firm, after It was dissok-ed, was
that tho Yankeo was running tho farm
on his own hook, nud tho Dutchman
was keeping a Lager Beer Saloon in Iho
next village.

Do Vou Want to Buy a Sog 1
Jones was very anxious to buy a black-nnd-tan
dog. Ho wanted a gonulno
"ratter," on whom thcro was no dis
count. Ho had gazed with feelings of envy
upon numbers of his associates leading
or carrying dlmlnutlvo specimens of
tho canine raco, of whom it was sold
they wero "death ou rats."
IIo desired to havn somo of ithlmsolf.
Ho pined for a llttlo dog that wasdeath
on rats, ono that ho could put a llttlo
silver collar on bearing Ills name, and
eneaso lu a neatly embroidered blanket
when tho weather was cold and lie
wasn't engaged In the task of carrying
death aud destruction Into tho rat fara?
iiy-
After considerable inquiry ho heard
of such a dog, puro as to breed and un
daunted as to courage. When ho saw
tho dog ho was entirely pleased with
his appearuuee, which betokened a rat
ter of the most sanguinary and success
ful typo.
But Jones was cautious. IIo was not
n man to do anything rashly, not even
in tho purchuso of a dog,so ih ho hadn't
the fullest confidence in his own judg
ment on cutilne.i, ho sought his filend
Smith, who know all uboiit ralleis, to
pass his judgment upon tho beast.
Best way to lest a ratter," said
Smith, "is to turn, him among rats."
So together went Jones and Smith
with tlio roller to a rat-pil in order to
tedt his capacity in getting away with
a rodent. The dog trembled greatly It
was observed, when they pit him into
tlio pit, but Jones thought It was bo
cause he was so eager to have the rats
dumped in, though he observed a leer
ing smilo on tho intellectual face of tlio
rat owner.
" 'Ow many rats will you 'avo?" in
quired the latter.
"Throw 'cm all in; let him havo all
you've got," said Jones, eagerly; "he'll
finish 'em."
But Smith suggested that they had
better try him on a singio rat first and
see how he got along with him. Tho
suggestion was acted upon.
When a big rat was brought iua cage
tho ratter tore around tho pit, barking
furiously.
"Seems to mo ho wants to get out,"
says Smith.
"Oh, no," said tho rat man, "that's
tho way they always hact. It shows
heagcrncis. ,'E's heager for the fray."
The cago was' opened and' tho rat
dumped into tlio pit, when it immedi
ately darted for tho dog, who turned
and run us if ho had the hydrophobia,
yelping for dear life. Round nud round
tho pit they went, the rat galuiug every
round, until finally ho eaughtMr. Rat
ter by tlio jaws ond held ou like death.
Jones was a picture of disappoint
nnd dismay. ,
" What had 1 belter do?" ho taid to
.Smith ns ho saw tho dog was getting
tlio worst of it.
"Do ?" said Smith, "why, you'd bet

Tell Your Wife.
If you are in any trouble or quandary,
tell your wife that Is, If you havo ono
all about it nt once. Ten lo ono her
invention will solvo your difficulty
.sooner than nil your logic. Tho wltof wo
man has been praised, hut her Instincts
ire quicker and keener than her reason.
Counsel with your wife,or your mother
or sister, aud bo assured that light will
Hash upon your darkness. Women are
too commonly adjudged as verdant lu
all but pure womanish affairs. No
philosophical student of the sex thus
jiidgca them. Their intuitions, or In
sight, aro tho most subtle, and if they
cannot see n eat iu tlio meal there Is no
eat there. In counselling ono to tell his
troubles to his wife, wo would go fur
ther and advise him to keep nono of his
affairs feeret-froin her. Many a homo
has been happily saved, and many a
fortuno retrioved by man's full confi
dence in his better half. Woman is far
more a seer and prophet than man, If
sho bo given a fair chance. As a gen
eral rule, wives contldo tho minutest of
their plans and thoughts to their hus
bands.having no involvements to screen
from him. Why not reciprocate, if but
for tho pleasure of meeting coufiflenc
with confidence? Wo aro certain tha
no man succeeds so well In tho world as
ho who, tuklug a partner forllfb, makes
her tlio partner of all her purposes aud
hopes. What Is wrong In his Impulses
or Judgment, sho will check and sot
right with her almost universally right
instincts. "Help meet" was no insig
nificant title, as applied to man's com
panion. Sho is a meet help to him la
every darkness, difficulty nnd sorrow
of life. And what sho most craves and
deserves, is confidence without which
lovo is never fieo from a shadow.
A Clerical Corpso.

"Well, I don't know about this,"
