TOTVnOJI SIIAIYTEOIVE THASUS1 A little boy had sought the pump From whence the sparkling waters burst, And drank with eager joy the draught That kindly quenched his raging thirst; Then gracefully he touched his cap "1 thank you, Mr. Pump," he said, "For this nice drink you've given me I" (This little boy had been well bred.) Then said the pump, "My little man. You're welcome to what 1 have done; But I am not the one to thank I only help the water run." "Oh, then," the little fellow said, (Polite be always meant to be.) "Cold water please accept my thanks, You have boon very kind to mo." "Ah 1" said cold water, "don't thnnk me, Far up the hillside lives the spring That sends me forth with generous hand To gladden every living thing." "I'll thank the spring, then," said tho boy. And gracefully he bowed his head; "Oh, don't thank me, my little man," The spring with silvery accents said. "Oh, don't thnnk me for what am I Witiiout the dew and summer rain? Without their aid I ne'er could quench Your thirst, my little boy, again." "Oh, well then," said the little bov, "I'll gladly thank the rain and dew," "Pray don't thank us without the sun W'e could not till one cup for you." "Then, Mr. Sun, ten thousand thanks For all that you have done for me," "Stop!" said the sun with blushing face, "My little fellow don't thank me ; "I'wus from the ocean's mighty stores I drew the draught 1 gave to the." "oh, Ocean thanks!" then said the boy It echoed back, "Not unto me." "Not unto mo, but unto Him W ho formed the depth in which I lie. So give thy thanks, my little boy. To Him who will thy wants supply," The boy took off his cap and said, In tones so gentle and subdued, "Oil, God, I thank Thee for this gift Thou art the Giver of all good." alts, jlfietcte, nuiohs, c. m i - A SARUOV ESCAPE. Condepjined to der.th ! Condcmrcd to perish ir.ominiously oa the Ecuifu'd ! Condemned to bid adieu to wife, mother, children and ft tends! The poor man wept aloud in the ex tremity of his anguish. Iiis trembling lips cculd frarao no prayer, and thus the last avenue of escape was closed agniust him. The most direct and equivocal ev idence surrounded thia man Lloyd Fletcher by name and the jury in bring ing in their verdict of "Guilty iu the firet decree," had only acted on their sober conviction of the man's guilt, drawn from the overwhelming evidence. Charles Lancaster, an Englishman, and a neighbor of Fletcher's, had been found brutally murdered, i?i a lone spot in the suburbs of London. Fletcher's pistol was picked up near him, thrown aside as hc found himself pursued. Footprints in the mud corresponded ex actly with the boots tho prisoner wore, and, to crown all, they had been bitter and inveterate enemies for months previ ous. Fletcher had been heard to say, on several occasions, that nothing but the man's death could satisfy his own irnpla cublo vengeance ; and then, again, he could produce no one to assist him in proving an alibi. Lloyd was a man very domestic in his habits, and very devoted ly attached to his family. He was known to be aLent from home in the evening, yet on Una particular night, Mrs Fletcher waited up until daylight for his return, expecting, every mom?nt (on account of the circumstance being so unprecedented)' to have liim brought home to her a corpse. He seemed to be recovering from the deep stupor of intoxication aa ho entered his wife's presence on the morning described, and only knew just enough to find the bed and sleep profoundly. At the time of his arrest, hi3 hands were found lame and bruised ; so this, with the rest, made the sum too crushing for the skillful counsel he had employed, and the result was "Hanged by the neck, Fletcher, till you are dead ; and God have mercy on your soul.' It lacked now only three days to the execution, and here he sat, in his lone, comfortless, white-washed cell, and his head bowed in U'n hands. Can nothing be done 1 Must I die thus, poor misera ble dog that I am ? Oh, God, where art Thou t Will Omnipotence allow an in nocent man to perish ! Out upon such a God as that 1" And the poor fellow struck wildly at his prison house, groan ing so deeply that ho aroused tho atten tion of the turnkey, who was passing the cell. The irou door swung back on its creaking hinges and the stalwart form of the keeper appeared before him. "Come, come, Fletcher, less noise here; be a man 1 You ain't the first man who had to swing not by a long shot ! Ycu won't get much Bympathy here if you are like a nursing infant, I can tell you. Die game, Fletcher, die game." 'But I am innocent, I tell you, old wretch ; as innocent of the crime as my little girl baby at home. Oh, my God ? my wife my children " "Oh, shut upl here's your old woman, now." The hardened turnkey waited a moment to witnoes the meeting of this suffering couple, and then, with muttering curses, withdrew. But the condemned man and his loving, faithful wife, took no notice of his departure, but clasped in each other's arms, waiting for calmness to speak. "Oh, yarah !" "Oh, L'oyd ! God have mercy on us all, my husband 1 And now listen. Lie down here place your head on my lap ; I have something to tell you." "Tell me, Sarah, did they search you this time f " lie aakod, grasping her hands. "Yes, Lloyd, and they found nothing. I repented my rash promise to you before t readied borne. Uume what may, sui cide must not bo your fate. But listen ; j you see that I am comparatively happy ; j and let me tell you what has produced ! t.: a . , .

"Oh, Sarah, talk net of dreams to a doomed man like nri ; perhaps we may be happy in another existence j but no, that cannot be for sutely God will not allow an innocent man the death of the guilty. Oh, no, Sarah oh, no!" "Keep up your courage, my dear hus band ; a certain strange, mysterious some thing assures me that all will yet be well, how or in what manner Heaven billy knows." I wish I could sec it I wish I could feel it Sarah ; do not mislead me with false Lopes. Oh, my God! if there could only be found a way to escape from this ignominious death !" 'Come, madam, time's up," Rhd the turnkey made his appearance. "Hate to disturb such a pair of cooing doves, but orders are orders, ma'am, and must be obeyed. Always obey orders, if you break crowns. You ouht to persuade your husband to stop his sniveling." Sarah, with a gesture of scora and im patience, prepared to leave. "Mark what I tell you, ma'am, you'll be looking for another husband in three months' time," continued the wretch, as lie walked out by her side. Sarah hurried through the corridor en deavoring to hear as little as possible of the brute's conversation, and reached her home and children, there to hope and pray. The hours sped on, and it lacked one day more fur the execution. Fletch er had given up all hopes of r reprieve, and listened to the building of the scr.tTJld with a solemn feeling born cf despair, "I've brought another gal to see jc'i this time, Flatcher. It's very probable she wou t be so agreeable-lite ?.s t'other j one, out wul do as much good, 1 reckon. A woman in black Etood before the bed on which Fletcher reclined. He rcco"--nized Mrs. Lancaster, the wife of the murdered man. "Ah, this does me good," sr.id the, taking a etep nearer and shaking her clenched Gst in hia face. "It don't pay to take a fellow-creature's life, does it T Don't you speak to me, you villain don't dare to open your mouth. I camo here to gloat over your misery, and see how the prospect of leaving your wi fa and babies affected you. Oh, you tremble ! I have found the tender cord. My hus band's wife and children were nothing oh, no? Wretch, villain I May the law be fully justified." The woman, to all appcarnnce, pxas peralcd beyond the power of further ut terance, stepped a little nearer and with h sly movement, hid one of her gloves under the pillow cf tho bewildered man. "Have you finished, ma'am," inquired the turnkey, with his hand on the door. "Now, really, Fletcher, don't you rather prefer an interview of this kind to one of those lally-gagging sort you have had po meny of lately ? 'Twill do you more good teu to one. What are you doing now V "Giving him one more look, that 13 all. Murderer! robber! wretch I I want to engrave his picture on my brain so indel ibly that I never can forget a single fea ture." "By the crown, your old man must have had a Tartar! Oh, ho, ho!" and the fat turnkey shook his fat side3 with laughter. "I don't believe he's got it much hotter where he's staying now than he had it with you. It takes a woman to use up the King's English. I always said ec now I know it." Mrs. Lancaster drew her veil over hef face and rpuietly left the prison. As soon as he dared, with trembling fingers Lloyd drew forth the glove. In it was a vial containing a mixture of chloroform, or ether, a small sharp instrument to file his shackles, and a note. It read thus: "You are not the man, and I cannot allow you to be hung. Overpower the keeper, tak his clothes and leave. Go to tho old rookery, No first floor, where a disguise awaits you, and then God help you, for you must conceal yourself." Lloyd, with a wildly beating heart, concealed the articles and tried to think, The keeper did not enter tho cell till after he brought his tea, and how could he ac complish his purpose then f There would be too many astir in the prison then, and he might be detected. "Defeated now with' fha weapons of deliverance in my hands. No, indeed, Lloyd Fletcher !" "Fletcher, I suppose you know that according to the prison rules you are not allowed to stay alone to-night. It would be barbarous to leave a feller without good company his last night on earth," said the turnkey, an hour or two after Mrs. Lancaster's visit. "You'll have to take your pick atween old Father Walsh and myself, but I eup- pose you will take me, bad as you hate me, afore that hypocrite." "Why can't I have my wife?" asked Lloyd, with a voice full of bitterness. "Oh, wives ain't allowable on euch occasion?. She'll be round in the morn ing an hour or two ; but talk quick which will you have V' "What dirFerenco do you think it makes to me. you heartless wretch, who watches with my last mor&fents on earth, when my only friend is denied me." I So it was arranged. The turnkey was to occupy his eel!, and Lloyd went to. work with his little instrument to file the handcuffs and chain which bound him. It was slow and tedious, but in an hour's time he had the satisfaction of one free hand, and the power to remove his lirab3 from the galling, rattling torments which had so firmly held him. "I must be able to throw these fetters 01T, or I am lost." So he worked away industriously until the obstinate link was displaced, and he could wear or leave them crFat his pleasure. Ten o'clock ar rived and the turnkey had his cot brought in the cell. "When are you going to turn in, Fletch er. I'm as tired as an East India nig ger, l'laguy afrnid I wont be much company to-night ; better had tho priest. You wrote all your letters yesterday, Fletcher, did ycu !'' and the keeper yawn ed deeply, turned over once or twice, and in five minutes was snoring profoundly. "Now is my time," t'iou::ht I' 'richer. "It won't do to wait. Heaven help me." Noiselessly he stopped from the chains and drew oil" the torturing band-culls. It was but the work of a moment to saturate his handkerchief with ihe mixture, and less time than it takes me to tell it, Lloyd had stripped the hardened wretch. There was a tiirling difference in their height, but Lloyd lacked the al.lermanic propor tions o' the jailor. However he managed thai quickly and easily, unlocked the djor of ihe cell, stepped into the corridor, locked it again carefully, withdrew the key, and imitated as nearly as possible the dull, heavy tread of the keeper. The jail physician was just leaving the build ing, and Lloyd walked along after him, as if to see hira safely out. Only one subordinate guarded the entrance, and so L'.oyd and the doctor walked out together, without exciting the slightest suspicion. lie reached tho eld rookery, donned Lis attire, which proved to be a Soldier's uniform, removed the black wig of the keeper, and substituted a light, curly .in?, and before twelve o'clock, Lad" reached the house of a friend, two or three mile? from the city, told his story, and wa3 warmly received and promised protection. Lloyd felt sure he htid left no clue by which he could be traced lo thia spot, and almost overcome by his creat happiness, he fell on his kuec-3 and thanked the God he had previously foresworn for his mi raculous escape. The next morning all was astir early in the prison, but our turnkey did not make his appearance ; what could it mean 1 A key was produced to open the cell door, and the nude, inanimate figure of the fat keeper was presented to their astonished view. In the middle of the ceil was the prisoner's wardrobe ; all lie could spare from the makeup of tho turnkey's lusty proportions. A little cold wafer and fresh air revived him, but he could throw no light on the mysterious disappearance of Fletcher. He had seen nothing, knew nothing, and remembered nothing. Mrs. Fletcher was arrested on suspicion of as sisting her husband to escape, but nothing could be proven, and a few days saw her at liberty. She was confident that her darling was safe, but could form no idea of ihe mode, or where he wits concealed. However, now that 30 much was gained, she felt that she could afford to wait -for the re?t. Large rewards were offered for the prisoner's apprehension ; large posters were placarded everywhere, and the de tectives were pet to work to ferret out Lis hiding place, but in vain. When the ex citement was at its height, tho ante-mortem statement and confession of a dying man were brought before the court, en tirely exhonorating Lloyd Fletcher from complicity in the murder. The mm was Mrs. Lancaster's foster brother. He had drugged and beaten poor Fletcher the night of the perpetration of the crime, stolen his pistol and committed tho derd himself. Mrs. Lancastor had been from the first exceedingly suspicions of him, but proofs were not in her power, bo she had used every means possible to restore Lloyd his liberty, trusting to time and a merciful God for the rest. I low well she acted her part and succeeded in her en deavors the reader is aware. Fletcher was immediately pardoned, and driven by excited Londoners to his residence. Queer Accommodations. A lady traveling through a Western State, orae years since, was obliged by the inclemen cy of the weather to put up at a country tavern in the back woods. The hotels of these sections are built of logs, and are generally fifteen feet in size They have but one room, which answers for hall, drawing room, dressing room and kitchen. It having been the first time that I had ever had the extreme felicity of register ing my name in the book of one of these metropolitan accommodatiors I was very much surprised at the arrangements. I observed a few men changing their clothes or more properly, performing their toi let and I addressed the landlord with: "Is thia the only apartment this house has?". f "Yes, sar ; isn't dat enough V "But, haven't you no other room for ladies ?" "No. "What a horrible arrangement ! But how do the ladies do V "They draw a chalk mark around their bed, and while dey takes oir dere clothes an' tings, no gen'lemeo is 'lowed to look obcr de white mark ?" About a month ago a youn.i lady liv ing in Nevada county left her homo and came to San Francisco on a visit to ome of her city friends. The father of the young lady in question is quite wealthy, I and his daughter, who btia recently com pleted her nineteenth vear. has bfl etorr I opportunity to become educated r.iid :te-j comphshed to a degree tilting her to be- I come an ornament to the highest circles. ! Unfortunately she is a remorseless flirt, j nnding no other occupation so agreeable as that of trilling with hcr.rts. In per sonal appearances she is remarkably at tractive. Her beauty "13 cf the blonde type, all who are in the habit of frequently promenading Kearnry street must have sometimes seen her and been struck with the beauty of her face and form, and es pecially with the profusion and unusual hue of her hair, of which she is very proud. But her chief charta is in her eyes, large, bh:e and lustrous, and into which she can throw at will every exprcs- Her friends, who reside on Mission street, are fond of society and receive many visitors. Among these the ones who took the-principle part3 in ihe strange and tin i'ding drama which was there enacted were a young married couple, a physician, and a young and very promis ing law student. The young husband soon found the so ciety of the bcrni lif ul coquette a fascina tion which drew him from tho fide of his wife. lie knew that he could never make her his lurful love, but the spuil which the threw around him blinded his judg ment, fcnJ in r, thori time he was hope lessly enslaved. Tho other two different ly circumstanced, became equally infatu ated and each hoped to wia her for Lis wife. The lseartlesa jg ill distributed her smiles among her three admirers with the utmost impartiality, now enrourrging and now rc-puUing, as fa sa-y dictated or policy seemed to req lire. At the usual ph;ccs of amusement she was almost dnily seen with one or Ihe ether cf her dupes, each of whom fancied that sue vas devoted to him r.lone. The young law stu Jent, bsii'g of a very susceptible and excitable tem perament, first brought matters to a crisis, to fr at least as he himself was concern ed Surprising her alone one day in the parlor, he seized her iiand, and maddened by the ciddnrss with which the received hi:n, declared his love and refused to a;Lw her to leave the room without giving Lira a decisive answer. Wearied with his im portunities nnd a little startled at the wi'.d nc83 of his demeanor, she coldly to'd him tiiat she had nut the slightest love fir him and that her heart was given to another. When he heard the words from the lips of one who had previously dono everything that could be done, without actually com mitting herself, to convince him that hi passion was returned, he reproached her with her perfidy in the most bitter terms Half frightened, she fled from the room, dropping in her huoie the Setter she had been reading when he entered the apart ment. Acting under the unaccoiintah'.e impulse of jealoufy, he picked it up open ed and read it. Its contents more than confirmed what phe said. It was a letter from her accepted lover, a wealthy mine owner in her own locality, and mentioned incidentally the fact of their engagement, and the day on which the marmge cere mony was to b performed. In a state of mind bordering rm frenzy ha left the room. Unable to control hia feelings while nar her, he determined to try the effect of a change cf scene. The next day he left for the East. The worthy disciple of E?cui-"pius was of a more phil osophical disposition, and took hia final rejection quite cooly. A week ago last Thursday the coquet tish blonde went, with one of her friends, to Woodward's Gardens. Strolling ubout the grounds they encountered the young married couple already mentioned. Here was a chance of finishing the conquest al ready begun of the young husband, &r.d the accomplished flirt was not slow in ef fecting a temporary change of partners and strolling away to a place mere fitted for flirtation. Everybody knows that there are places at Woodward's Gardens, with rustic seats, where much love may safely be discoursed of, provided it b done in an undertone. Oneof tbesa places wa3 reached,' and for a while all went welL But the jealousy of the yourg wife was already excited. Telling the gentleman whom she was now with that she wished to speak to her husband, but would return in a moment, the left him contemplating a rather dingy looking fpecimcn of the sculptor's art and approached her husband and tho bewitching mountain blonda from tha rear. So silent was her ppproach, and so much were they absorbed that they failed to observe her preser.ca. Standing behind the two she heard her husband de clare his most guilty love for another than herself. What a blow to the heart of a once happy wife ! Without a word, heed less of liar abandoned escort, of all ob gervers of everything but her own over whelming sorrow she hastily quitted the grounds. Perhaps there ure some who were there that day who will remember peeing a lady alone and in fears pass has tily through the entrance way of the gar- dens and enter the street car in waiting, Since then wife and husband have not met to speak to one another, and steps arc already being taken for the procure ment of a divorce. And now comes the last cene in tho drama. -From a New York paper, only i rt weciw iua, we Ci!i li;C IullOWltl": ! ''Foi nu Dan.
