There's never a 2arden crowing TVitlr roses in every plot : There never a hearc so hardened Rut it has one tender snot : We have onlv to prune the Border To find the foreet-me-nnt.

ESCAPED. j It was a bitter niarht in January a nieht j when homeless wanderers sank down frozen to death, and the very marrow seemed tocon j peal in one's bones. "There's one advantage in ster:m," said ft j fat old centleman, in the corner seat, "wind j and weather don't affect it. No flesh and blood horse could stand a nicht like this, but j the iron horse keeps straight ahead thoneh i the thermometer is at zero or at boiling wa ' ter heat." .Tust then the conductor entered. "Tickets, gentlemen, if you please." "It's a drr adful nieht, conductor," I said, feelincr, with stiffened finerrs, formy ticket. "Dreadful, sit," feelingly responded the conductor. "Why, the hrakemer: can't live outside, and so I look the other way when they creep in, poor fellows, to gpt a breath of warm air at the stove." And the conductor opened the door and plunged across the coupling into the next crying out: "ITardwick !" it 'was quite a considerable city, with a handsome iron depot, and the usual crowd around the platform, with their hands in their pockets and their cigar ends aglow. Our car was nearly the last of the long train, and but one passenger entered a slen der young girl, wrapped in a gray blanket shawl and wearing a neat little traveling hat of gray straw, trimmed with stone-colored velvet flowers. She seemed to hesitate, like one unused to traveling, and finally sat down pear t'ie door. "Pardon me, young lady," said T, "but yon had hctfer come nearer the stove." She smarted, hosjtnted an instant, and then obeyed.! "Pnes this train goon to Rayswater?" she asked, in a voice so deliriously soft that it seemed tothii!! through me. " Ves. Can 1 be of any service to you ?" "Oil, no at least not until we reach Rays water. I would like a carriage there." "We shall not be there for three hours yet." "Do we stop again ?" "Only at Fx-mouth." She diew a deep sigh, seemingly of relief, and then settled back in her corner. Ry the licht of the lamp I could see her face plain ly Apparently she was not more than six teen, with lnrcre blue eyes, golden hair drawn straight away from her face, and a little rosy mouth like that of a baby. "Do yon expect friends to meet you at Ravswater, my child ?" I asked. "No, sir; I am going to school there." "It will be an awkward hour to arrive by yourself one in the. morning." "Oh, I am not afraid," sh' said, with an artless little laugh. "1 shall go straight to the Fcmlnarv." So the train thundered on with steady, , ceaseless pulsing at Its iron heart, nnd aeon- stant roar. Suddenly the signal whistles j sounded, and the train began to slacken its 1 speed. "Surely we are not at Exmouth yet ?" I j thought; unless I had fallen unconsciously j asleep and allowed the progress of time to ! escape me. I glanced at my watch : it was barely half j past eleven, and I knew wi were not due at Exmouth until twelve. I rubbed the frost from the window pane and looked out. Wc had stopped at a little : way-station in the midst of dense pine woods, "Is 'his Exmouth ?" It was the soft voice of the pretty traveler j opposite. f "Xo .- I don't know what place it is ; some 1 wav-siation." "Does this train stop at way-stations?" "Never, generally : they must have been specially signaled here. You are cold, my child your voice trembles." "It is cold," she said faintly, drawing her ; shawl around her. "Oh, I wish they would burn- on !" "We are moving once more," I said. "Conifhetor" for the man of tickets was pnssing through the cars "why did you stop at this backwoods place?" " nit of water !" was the reply, as he hur riedly passed by. Now I knew perfectly well that this an ! swer was net the real solution of the matter Our delay had not exceeded half a minute , altogether too short a time for replenishing i the boilers: and where on earth was the wa : ter to come from In that desolate stretch of barren pine woods. Five minutes after, the conductor entered the'ear ; I made room for him at. my side. 1 "Sit down, conductor yon have nothing to do just this minute." j lie. obeyed. "What did you mean by telling me such ft Ho just now?" I spoke it under mv breath. tie repned, in the same tone : - ,,, "About the reason we stopped just now." lie smiled. "To tell you the truth, I stopped to take on a single passenger a gentleman who has come down from Bayswater." "For the pleasure of traveling once more over the same route?" "Exactly for the pleasure of traveling it in certain society. Don't be alarmed for your own safety it's a detective policeman." y I was about to repeat the words in aston ishment, when he motioned me to silence. "And who Is the offender?" "I don't know myself yet. lie don't want a scene until the moment of arrest ; we are safe enough until we reach Bayswater." "Where is he?" "The detective? He sits by the door yonder, with a rasged fur cap pulled over his eyes. Did yon ever see a more perfect specimen of a dilapidated countryman ?' I smiled ; I could not help it. "What i the case ?" "A murder a man and his wife and two little children their throats cut, last night and the house set on fire too afterwards." "Great heavens ! what a monster !" We had continued the conversation thro' out. in a whisper, scarcely above our breath, and now the conductor arose and left me to study the faces of my fellow passengers with curious dread and horror. Somehow, often as I revolved the matter in my mind, my fancy would settle on a course, brutal-looking man opposite, with a bushy heard and a coat of shaggy wool, with the collar turned up around his ears. I felt convinced that this man with the the brutal eyes, and the heavy hanging jaws was the Cain! And as I looked furtively across, I caught the wide open orbs of the fair little girl. Obeying the instantaneous impulse of my heart, I arose and went over to her. "You heard what we were saying my child ?" "Yes, a murder oh, how horrible !" "Do not be frightened ; no one will hurt i you." She smiled up in my face with sweet con fiding innocence. Our stav at Exmouth was but brief ; but during the delay I could see that the watch ful detective had changed his seat to one neare the brutish man Jin the shaggy over coat. "Seel" faltered the young girl, "they locked the car doors at Exmouth, they are unlocking them now." She was right. "Probably they were fearful lest the crim inal should escape," I remarked in an under tone, 'Will you may I trouble you to bring me a glass of water ?" I rose and made my way toward the ice cooler, hy the door, but with difficulty, for the train was acain under rapid motion. To my disappointment the tin goblet was chain ed to the shelf. "No matter," she said, with a winning smile ; "1 will come myself." I drew the water, and helfl up the cup, but i instead of taking it as she approached, she brushed suddenly past me, opened the door, : and rushed out unon the platform. ! "Stop her ! stop her ! shouted the detec tive, springing to his feet. 'She will be killed ! Conductor ru akeman hold up !" There was a rush a tumult a bustle. I was firt. upon the platform, but It was emp ty and deserted, save by a half frozen look ing brakeman, who seemed horror-stricken. "She went past me like a shadow and jumped off as we crossed Cairn turnpike road." he stammered. ".lumped off the express train! Well," said the conductor, shrugging his shoulders, I "she must have been killed instantly. What I mad folly !" I "It's five hundred dollars out of my poc : ket, " said the detective, ruefully. "I didn't want, a scene before we got to Rayswater, . but I was a confounded fool. A woman eor i nered will do anything, I believe !" "What !" I ejaculated, "yon surely do not ! mean that child" "I mean," said the detective calmlv, "that . that child, as you call her, is Attila Burton, a married woman, twenty-six years old, who last nicrht murdered four persons in cold , blood, and was trying toeseape to Canada." ; The train was stopped and a party of us went hack to seach for any trace of the poor : creature whose apparent innocence had ap I pealed to my sympathies so earnestly. We found her at length, quite dead, by tho side of track, frightly mangled by the force of i the fall, nnd mutilated almost beyond reeog ; nition. "Well, she's escaped justice in this world, j if not in the next." said the detective gloom , 11 v, as he stood looking down upon her re J mains. "Do you suppose she expected to be able ; to spring from the train without much in : jury?" I asked. ; "Without much injury ? Yes; women are unreasoning creatures ! Rut 1 never dream I ed of such insane folly, or I should have ta ken measures to prerent it. They lifted up the fair dead tbing, and i carried it to the nearest place of refuge, a I lonely farm house among the hills, and we ; returned to the train, reaching Rayswater ; only a few minutes behind time. And when, 1 in the morning papers. I read the account of I the murder, and the tragic end of the mnr i deress, I thought of the slender creature's blue eyes and rosebud mouth, with a strange, j pitying thrill at mv heart. j Twenty Dollars Reward A gentle ; man in Con vers, Ga., offers the above sum as i a reward to any person who will, on sight, read the following without mispronouncing ; a word : ; "One morning I found myself In a queer ; vocale, amid a vast area of burning sands, j To my relief I described an oasis, but alas! It turned out to be a mirage. I could see, as I thought, cascades, geysers, and gewgaws , indescribable. When 1 complained to an Edomite of such a deceptive land the un 1 toward fellow treated me with contumely. - I was only saved bv the timely appearance of a chamois from the puissant blows nf the nuisance which leaped up from the root of the pyramidal cypress, at which he fired his j fuse.

Towards the close of President Tierce's administration, society in Washington was much agitated and interested by ft brilliant marriage of the daughter of a member of the Cabinet who then enjoyed world-wide fame as a financial and political economist. This was Robert J. Walker, a man of re markable intellectual acuteness, great re search, and indefatigable industry. There wa3 no lovelier or more attractive young woman than his daughter. ITer moth er, a lineal descendant of Ben Franklin, had contributed by her talent and charms largely to the success of her husband in pol itics, law, nnd social advancement. The happy bridegroom on this occasion was a young naval officer of one of the oldest Creole families in Iouisiana The marriage ceremonies were of the most brilliant character. The President, every member of the Cabinet ,J the Foreign Minis ters, the Senators in fine, all the notables of Washington attended, blessed, and were enthused by the happy scene of a marriage, that seemed so congenial, suitable and feli citious. After their marriage the young couple went on the grand tour to Europe, and took j up their residence in Paris, where they so- ! jonrned for some months. 1 Their means wre ample and their friends i and associates were of the highest social i i class. And thus for some years the course of their married life run smoothly, until disas terspolitical, sectional, and financial feil upon them and their families. At the'hreaking out of the civil war Rob't J, Walker attached himself to the fortunes of the North, and became a bitter enemy of the Southern struggle for independence. Ilis son-in-law was compelled by every obliga tion of honor, State pride and duty to the ancient family of which'he was a member, and to identify himself with the Sot.th. The consequent altercations and discord led to their permanent, separation. The young wife retired with her child to her ! mother and family in Philadelphia, and j there resided for several years in seclucion. ! In the meantime Mr. Robert.!. Walker, had I lost by the investment in a railroad enter ' prise the fortune he had acquired by his pro i fessional success, and at his death left his ! family in narrow circnmstati-'s. j His widowed daughter, di ;iite her ex ' treme reserve, could not fail to attract the i attention, sympathy and interest of the ' friends of the father and mother. Many ad- ! vances were made by gentlemen of wealth i ' and prominence to engage, her favorable con- j i sideration of proposals of marriage. j j For some time she resisted all such advan- ' ees. At last, however, her friends and so j ciety were astounded by the report that shs . had accepted the hand of a gentleman dis- l j tingnished in the professional and political ' I world, but cursed with a deformity and mnt- ; ! ilation as repulsive and revolting as that of , the veiled Mokannaof Moore's T.alla Rookh, j Tn boyhood he had fallen into the fire on his ! face, and so burned it, as to present even J i now, in advanced age, a most pitiable and j i hideous aspect. i i Those who are accustomed ii makingsum- j mer visits and sojourns at Long Branch have , not failed to observe in the parlors of the ; West End Ilote, on the promenades and drives of that delightful resort, the unhappy ; : victim of this" cruel misfortune, in a stout J gentleman of good figure, of dignified and I graceful carriage, but with a face so blurred, scarred and distorted, as almost to conceal, , : and abolish all human resemblance, and re- ; i pel with disgust all advances of closer ob- servation and acquaintance. Upon that gen- , tleman't arm leans a lovely woman, whose j pale face still retains the most refined and i i beautiful expression, and whose harmonious j ; features and lithe and graceful figure may ; ) be quickly recognized as those of the beauti- j ful Miss Walker, who twenty-five years he- i ' fore had enthralled all beholders, anil given ' her the unqucstiened title to the sweetest : ; and pretties'; girl in Washington City. ; The marked attention of the brilliant com- 1 ! pany at the West End, through w'.uch they ; '. passed, the eagerness of all persons to ex-; . change courtesies and engege in conversa- ; ' tion with the gentleman and lady, the atten- ! tion and respect with which everything : 1 which fell from the gentleman was received ; by all listeners, betokened the high consider- i ; ation in which he was held. To draw him i into conversation, and drink in his everv ut- , . terance, appeared to be ambit-ion of every i one. I "Who is that couple?" would be the first inquiry of strangers; "that terribly mutila ted and defaced gentleman and that unhap- ' py daughter that hangs upon his arm." The : ; readj answer would be, that gentleman is ; the ablest, most eloquent, and impressive ' lawyer and orator of Philadelphia, who for i i many years has led that bar, and is the most ! i agreeable and captivating gentleman of very j polished society of that, refined city. The j lady is tde daughter of Robert J. Walker, so i distinguished in our political and financial i j history. The gentleman spoken of is now i Attorney General of the United States. ' ; Science and Bent Pins. We sometimes form an opinion of the blame-worthiness of our own conduct which is very different ' from that of other people. "My eon," said a fond parent to his only child, "I hear yon ! were whipped to-day at s?hooI. What did 1 you do to deserve it?" The child looked j into the parent's face with agaze of sweet j Innocence, and replied: "Nothing at all, ! father," "Ah," was the philosophic reply, , "your teacher must be a perfect ogre to pun ' ish you for nothing at all. Can't you think i of anything that was amiss "Well, fath i er," continued the r.oble boj, "I was jut i trying an experiment in connection with ! cause and effect, and it displeased the teach- i er. "And will you kindly explain it, my son ?" queried the father. "Certainly, my . ' dear father," was the reply. "I bent a pin ! I into a peculiar shape, and put it. into the ' ' teacher's chair, flow was I to know t'.iat he j was tired and wanted to sit down ? He did i sit down, however oefore I had a chance to ; i warn him, and when he got up, which he did i j almost immediately, and I must say with j 1 unbecoming violence, he seemed to be great i ly disturbed in his wind; indeed, a man i ' changed for the worse. I didn't know be i fore that matter could effect mind so seri- ; ously. Now that's all I did, and I did it in ; the interest of science, and yet he whipped j me." Then the benevolent father patted his boy on the head, and said : "My son ; there is nothing in the universe which more j qnickly effects the human mind than a bent pin. One may sit down delilieratly. but he j aln.n.-a 1 . 1.1. ..III.- 1 ' In,!!,. n i .. ,i i , nrs iin iti'ionv. cull b ill experiment again, and especially on your old father." SECOND SIGHT. Many intelligent people in Scotland and elsewhere believe in what is called the sec- j end sight, or, a power of seeing what Is go- j ing on many miles away. The power is less j common than it used to be many years ago, j but so many facts are told by persons whose veracity cannot be questioned, that it is eas- ! ler to believe them without explaining the ,,.,f . , ... ., , . mjstery, than to deny them. Similar facts in our own midstare no! wanting confirming : the possibility of this second sight. j It is a'historical fact that Rev. Jos. Ruck- j minster, who died in Vermont in 1812, j-jst j before his death, announced that his distin- j gnished son, Rev. J. S. Ruekminster, of Ros- j ton, was dead. It afterwards turned out that his son had breathed his last about the ! time his father made the announcement. I A parallel to that of the Ruckminsters oc- j enrred but a short time since at Eaton, O. j On 'a Wednesday morning in April, '73, at ' four o'clock, Gen.' John Quinn, of that place, j breathed bis last But a few minutes of ! that Joseph Deem, who also died on the i same day, aroused from his sleep, and said ! to his son John, who sat at his side, "John, j Gen. Quinn is dead." J To this John said : "I reckon you are mis- ' taken, father ; yon have been dreaming. I guess Gen. Quinn is not dead, he is not even ! sieic, but goes down town regularly every j day for his mail." j "Yes." said father Deem, "I know he is i dead ;"andhehad scarcely finished speaking when a neighbor walked in and said to them, j "Gen. Quinn is dead !" j What is strange about it, is that father i Deem did not know of Gen. Quinn's illness, , and, in all probability, had not heard his j name mentioned. The late Dr. Francis Wayland was aeens- i tomed to tell of in incident of this kind, : which occurred to his mother, a woman of ; sound judgment and of admirably balanced ' character. Young Francis was expected ; home from New York, where he had been : attending medical lectures. Suddenlv, one j day, the mother began to walk the floorhnr- riedly, saying to her husband, 'Tray for my son. Francis is in danger !" ', She was so agitated and earnest that the ; father put up a prayer for deliverance from i peril. When Francisat length arrived home, the mother asked at once, "What has taken place?" He told of an adventure. While coming up the Notth River on a sloop he had fallen overboard and the sloop had passed over him. Reing an athletic swim mer, lie had kept afloat until rescued. neinrich Zsohokke, one of the eminent literary men of Germany, possessed at times the curious power of seeing the whole life of a stranger into whose company he had been thrown. The incidents of tlie life seemed to pass before him in a kind of vision, with a distinctness even in minute details. He could not tell in what the power lay, nor how it came to him ; nor was it permanent, or even general. It came mysteriously and left as strangely. But he often tested his accuracy by recounting to the stranger the whole story of the life as it appeared to himt and never failed to receive nn acknowledg ment of its truth, even in minute particulars. Once, when travelling with two of his sons, he met with another man, an orange ped" p'.er, who had a similar gift, and who, to the great delight of the boys, told the incidents of Zschokke's life from boyhood. A distinguised scientist has advanced the theory in our hearing, to which he himself holds, that there is an unknown mental power in the human system that is independ ent of our recognized faculties, and superior to them. Certain persons on going to sleep fix upon nn hour of the night to a wake, and always awake at the fixed time. This indi cates a knowledge of Cme possessed by this unexplained mental power which is beyond the reach t.f the ordinary faculties. Man of the French soldiers, returning from the German fioi.ti.-r ilvring the late war. were found sleeping during a weari some march, but they kept in rank an.i obeyed orders. People hav composed poems, reasoned with wo'id-rful clearness on abstruse subjects, and even played the piano with unusual brilliancy and expression during sleep. Dr. Brown-Sequard once related an inci dent of his own experience somewhat similar To those recorded of Zschokke. lie was once lecturing to some French students, talking very rapidly, his whole mind wrap ped np tn the subject. He su.ldenly stopped short in his discourse, and stood before tiie audience, h-st, as it were, in profound thought. While his mind had seemingly been concentrated on the subject of his lec ture with unusual intensity, there had been forced into it the solution of a problem nf science that had baffled his efforts for a long period, and which was quite foreign to the subject of which he was treating. The stu dents became alarmed, thinking from his strange silence, that he must haye been ta ken ill. and he thought It prudent to make an explanation of the cause of his conduct on the spot. A Crows' Concert. fin a tract of tim- her on Allowav's Creek Neck, a few miles from Salem, N.J., belongingtoThos Mi.mds, j is a crows' roost, which is the wonder of the i neigborhood. A small crow roost was found ! several winters ago in the tract, and it kept i growing, until it now comprises a familv of ; several thousand. The music by the crows is not onlv superior to any ever heard from . the throats of crows by old-time residents, j but by some sort of understanding among j the musicians, there is no cessation of the ; music. The roost seems to he divided into j two companies, one of which warbles during ; the daytime and the ot .er at night while one-half are asleep the other half keep up : theconcert. Then they alternate. Fortliree weeks have these crows kept up their orderly ; method of warbling, and the noise has not , ceased for a mi.m.'nt. Yet it is not disagree- able, and the ohi women say that they cotil not oo to sleep wiMiout the sound of the ; crows in their eais. A certain number of the crows go on a foraging expedition every day. and a half dozen act as guards, roosting in a tree several hundred feet distant, and give warning when any one approaches too close to the roost. i This shot from the Sharon IUrtrfd would find a taro-et in some other towns that we : know ot : ""Stand up, girls you flir's that ' 'meet the train,' and boh and flirt and giggle 1 with every niwdle whose attention you cn attract 'Wliv nre the girls of Sharon like ! the six of dice?' asked Bones, of Baird's i minstrels, at the Opera House, last Friday ! evenin".
