And charming tho childish heart.

Told with a mother's art,
Setting tho dear home table,
And clearing the moat away,
And going on little errands

With tho grace of a thought dU lno :

SELECT STORY.
UNEXPECTED PEOOF
OR, DKKOUKMENT OP A STAGE COACH
TltAOKUY.
I was tr.ivelini' agent for a larce
firm, and in the course of business visit
ed tlio nourishing little town of Bellair,
where our people had many customers.
It was about the middle of August, and
on the very night of my arrival that
usually quiet and sober plaeo was
thrown into a state of consternation by
the occurrence of a very unusual cir
cumstance. Tlio statro coach was ac
customed to arrive about 8 o'clock, but
on tlio day in question that hour pass
ed and the stage did not come in.
I he timekeeper was in a stato or
great agitation, walking to and fro, and
wondering what liau become ot the
coach.
It was at last supposed that some ac
cident must have befallen the coach,
and assistance was being prepared in
tho shine of horsemen to search the
road. These were nearly ready, but
when jtist upon the point of starting,
the louu blast ot tho coachman s horn
was heard, and anxiety as to tho safety
of the stage was exchanged for wonder
as to tlio cause of its delay. A few
moments later it drove up in due form
before tho ollice, and a little crowd
gathered to investigate the origin of
such an unusual circumstance.
The coachman, upon being question
ed, gave a very clear and simple expla
nation ot the attair. A passenger, ho
said, had suddenly insisted on alighting,
and had banged tho door so violently
that one of tho horses liad.takcn fright.
This had startled tho other horse, and
tho two had galloped madly away,
nearly demolishing the coach, and were
not brought to until one ot them for
tunatcly stumbled and hurt his fore leg
severely, causing considerable delay.
The appearance of the horso witnessed
to the truth ot this statement. Jivery
ono was for the moment satisfied with
this account ofthe delay, but only for
a moment, lor tho next instant a much
more exciting and horrible discovery
than the delay of the coach was made
One ot tho porters lounging about
vcrv naturally opened the coach tloor
anil prepared to insist tlio passengers
to alight. But no ono stirred within.
It was too dark to see, but tho porter
putting his hand in, felt tho person of
a human being, as he thought, very
wet, and who must, from his insensi
bility, either bo sleeping or else was,
perhaps, stunned by tho accident on
the road.
"Helloa, John !" cried he, "who tho
dueo havoyougothero? The old gentlo-
men s either deadly asleep, or elso ho s
fainted when tho horses ran off 1"
The coachman, whose name, it may
horo bo stated, was John Rush, replied
very calmly:
Uli, lies all right, Jiill. iiimandtus
pal had n tiff, but I fancy thoy'd been
drinkin', and now ho's got asleep."
baying so, lie brought tortli a lantern,
tho light of which Hill afterward
thought made him deadly pale. Thoy,
however, cast tho light into tho coach
upon tho sleoiiing gentleman, but tho
next second they drow back with a
shout of terror. Hill saw by tho light
that it was not tho rain which had
damped his hands: the stain upon them
could not bo mistaken. "It's blood 1
It's blood I" ho cried, shaking tho thick
crimson drops from his fingers. 1
As tor poor Uusii, tho coachman, no
looked on in blank amazement, like a
man stricken dumb. The noise which
Bill made attracted the attention of all
around, who wcro now only just begin
mug to guess nt the cause ot tho delay,
A sceno of terriblo excitement followed
The wholo street was in confusion. It
was discovered that tho coach contain
ed only ono passenger or rather lib
corpse, for ho lay in a pool of blood
quite dead, and it was evident that lie
had been most foully murdered. Ex
amination showed that ho was a man
in tho primo of life, well dressed, nnd
of gentlemanly appearance, but without

station,
There ho mado tho following Impor
tant statement i Ho had started, ho
said, from Woodloy, in tho morning,
with ftvo passengers. This, of course,
could be verified by referenco to tho of
ficials there. At various places, so ho
said, ho had set down five passengers.
Ho had also taken up two, but did not
remember what thoy were like, ns ho
thought nothing about them at tho
time j could not sav even if tho two
wero men or women s thought thevhad
alighted on the way, and that the
gentleman in tho coach was ono of
those who started first nt Woodlcv.
When about two miles on tho other
sido of Winfield Hollow ho heard what
sccinod to him to bo a violent disputo
going on insido tho coach. Ho stop
ped tho horses nnd went to the door.
Only two passengers wcro then inside
one a young man with dark eyes and
chestnut hair, and tho other ho could
swear was tho murdered man. They
seemed to bo in high dispute, but when
they saw him, and knew that their al
tercation had stopped tho coach, tho
murdered man ho was certain ho could
swear it was the. murdered man put
his head out of tho window and said :
"What do you wantt My friend and
I had a few harsh words, ami what is
that to you t"
When ho heard this he remounted
tho box. About fivo minutes later ono
of tho gentlemen stopped him to get
out, seeming to bo much agitated,
which ho supposed to be on account of
tho dispute, lie did not notice at the lirao
which gentleman left,but could certain
ly swear it was tho murdered man who
had spoken to him from tho window,
nnd who appeared to be the principal
in tho dispute. A very lew minutes
after tlio unknown gentleman left the
murdered man tho accident occurred
which prevented tho coachman from
any very close remembrance of partic
ular incidents.
Hush, tho stage coachman, appeared
to bo much troubled during his examin
ation by tho police, which was very
natural, ns ho had good reason to know
that ho would bo greatly blamed, and
would probablv in the end bo dismiss
ed for carelessness. It is no pleasant
thing to drivo a coach, nnd to have
people murdered in it. Ho was, how
ever, ranch relieved when hefoundthat
his conduct, on account of the excite
ment occasioned by the accident, was
not considered to bo very culpable, and
that he was only bound over to attend
ha wK -Tni . t 'O'n'lst, winch
ho was very willing to do.

undone which might Bubserve the ends
ot justice, aeveral people were called
as witnesses, but only tnreo gavo evi
dence ot any consequence. The first
was tho clerk at the tiilico where tho
coach started. Ho gavo the names of
tho passengers booked, but could not
identify the murdered man.
The next was tho coachman, John
Rush, whoso tnlo was much as has been
already told.
The most important point in his
evidenco was that ho affirmed thnt tho
murdered man spoke a little huskily
through his nose, nnd had a way of
lisping out his words so that even in
tho midst of the fight he could hardly
help laughing at him.
AH tins evidenco he gave in a clear,
straightforward manner, such as, it was
thought, proved him beyond a doubt
to have no complicity iu the foul deed.
Tho third witness was tho porter who
discovered tho dead body : and after
theso wero one or two others who were
present at the time, including tho med
ical men who examined the corpse.
the coroner summed up with great
ability, and the jury, without a moment's
consideration, returned a verdict of
wiiiut murder against somo .person or
persons unknown.
iho next day tho body of the murder
ed mnn was buried, and tho police re
newed their search, but everybody saw
that after a little fuss on tho part of
the newspapers, tho tragody of tho
Bellair stage would most probably bo
come ono of those mysteries which wait
lor elucidation and punishment until
tho day of doom. Strange to say, how
ever, ino perpetrator ot the orime was
discovered, and convicted on his own
evidonco ; nnd the very means which
he adopted to hide the deed wero tho
occasion of it being brought to light,
ns l shall now bnelly explain.
I HO town Ot Uellair Was about torty
ormiy m iesirotn woodley, and the
Hiago ruu ueiween ino two places, a
tew miles trom Woodley was another
small town called Oakbourne, and in
Oakbourno lived a widow fair, named
Conway, and her daughter.
Mrs. Conway had a brother who was
deaf nnd dumb. His name was Thomas
Ellwood. His allliction, as might bo
supposed, was a souroo of great trial to
his lainily, and had his parents been
poor it would probably havo mado his
courso in llfo much harder thau it
really was ; but his father, old Mr. Ell

Jano had great expectations, for not

month of August, which had already
begun) but wlien, two days after, ho
called nt Mrs. Conway's house, ho nl
lowed that ho had totally forgotten nil
about it. This confession was, of
course, all made by dumb show, ns
from his birth ho could not utter a
word, and Mrs. Conway's discourse, as
sho scolded him, fell upon deaf cars.
Thomas was a good-natured soul, nnd
his sister carelessly thought it did not
matter how bIio rated him; but although
ho heard never a word, poor Tom's
heart was grieved, for ho know that ho
had vexed nis sister.
Mr. Kllwood of courso could not ro
ply, although, with tho usual tact of
afllicted people, he made n shrewd
guess nt, what his sister Baid. Ho car
ried a littlo tablet and pencil always
about with him, and now lit wrote :
"I'll go to Woodley to-morrow, Jane,
tho stage from Oakbourno to Woodley
starts at 0, and I'll go over."
Mrs. Conway read tho sentenco and
then smiled and nodded assent. Tho
two wero reconciled, and tho rest of
tho evening passed off pleasantly
enough. Jano's lover, Fred, had to go
early, but Undo Tom had to go to
supper. Jano nnd her mother went
with him to tho gate, and thero bado
him good nighU
Mr. Ellwood then went straight
homo to his lodgings, and after ar
ranging with his landlady to rouso him
early the following morning he went
to bed. When tho morning camo ho
packed up a few necessaries, directed
his luggage to Woodley for ho was a
punctual man and then, aftor telling
tho landlady that he was going to that
town for a day or two, he left. Ho
booked from Oakbourno by tho G
o'clock stage and nrrived early in
Woodloy. The next day his sister re
ceived a letter from that town, stating
that after seeing his lawyer he found
it necessary to go on to Bellair, but
would return, tho next day.
Tho next day and the next came,
but Thomas Ellwood never came back
again. In his letter ho stated that tho
business in question might have been
done by an agent, but Mrs. Conway's
impatience auu angry worus nail so
agitated him that ho had resolved to
id to

goonatouco and .do everything "im-
self. He finished his letter with an ex-
. c , l . nr j-. I
pression of love, but Mrs. Conwav
never forgot or forgavo her own hastv

however, she saw a drunken man roll

class, he scattered all he had about
him, and Mrs. Conway s eyes fell upon
a small letter caso which she knew
belonged to Ellwood. Sho picked it
up, followed tho drunkard, saw whero
he lived, and then applied to tho Mag

camo forward and clearly showed that

Dramatio Academies,
When wo wero ndmonished in our

of us would have preferred that method
to studying to learn. But tho copy

wanderful things thoy say nnd do on

is a fact. Tho world that has been

say, that the glass of fashion and mould

had never been created by study or re

In other words seriously, the world
is just reminded by a meeting in Lon

vast number of actors and actresses
who have interpreted every phase of
human emotion, from Shakespcro at
tho Globe, in Houndsditch, to Wallack
in his new Broadway shell, nono havo

apprenticeship to mako boots, or gloves,
or bread, or what not; a man, even bo

together in London to devise a national
