The Kidnapped Knplish Boy tVho TFa K. wiifil Ij-oui a Showman by his Fa reiit", in the St, ite of Iowa. The case of Willie Allbright. an Eng lish lad, was full of strange adventures. lie lived at Sheffield with his parents until tive years of age. His father was employed in a great factory .there, and his mother was a dtessinaker for the neighborhood. They lived in a cottage in ihe suburbs of the town, and at the ago of four the boy was permitted to run about the neighborhood a good deal. At live, when he was kidnapped, he was sent to the stores to make purcha se, and knew all the streets clear to the factory In which his father worked. On-' day in 1G1, about two o'clock in the afternoon, he was sent to a store threo biot ks away after some buttons. B- fore lie reached it a strange man ac C( ste l hint an 1 asked his name. Ho then gave Willie some sweetmeats and asked him t go and look at a Tunch and Judy show in the town, promising to return with him i i a half hour. The boy eagerly set off with him, and was taken to the railroad depot and placed on a train in charge of a middle aged woman, who gave him more sweet meats and was very kindly spoken. She sai.l that sho.v hd moved away and they auT it, and the novelty of the child's po.-i;ion prevented him feeling any anx iety. Witen the defectives came to take the cn?o tip, as they did two days aft -r the 1. 's tiis.ipj earance, they g.t no c!ti w atevr. Although he hail walked a mil - or two hand in hand with t.:o ab d ictcr. along crowded stree.s, nobody re:::em ,er I seeing the pair. They had gone openly to the railroad stat oil, but no one there had noticed them. The gu ird on the train dimly re membered a woman nd child in a com partment, but could, give no descrip tion. As tho Alibtights w re poor and lowly no great stir was created, and no great effort was made by the detectives to re store the boy to his parents. The boy was taken from Sheffield to Liverpool, being so wed tieated on tho way that ho had no thought of his homo. At Liverpool he was told that his name was John Manton, and that the woman was h:s mother. When he dis puted thep int he wu. soundly whipped. His hair was cut il.se. his dress entirely changed, and a li.pud was rubbed on his skin,0 which turned it dark. Kxeept when he a-ked to go home, or deniu I that his name was John Manton, he was kindly treated, a id after he had been beat ii suv. it or eight times he accepted the new name and t easel to refer to his parents. Young as ho was this was a stroke or p licy on his part. ro ili.ed that he bad veil fetulen Irom home, and he kept repeating to himself that hi- true namo was vVillie AUUight, and that he lived at Sheffield. After a couple of weeks lessons in tumbling and light-rope walking were given to the boy. He was never per mitted to go out alone or to converse with s; rangers, and it soon came natutal for him "to call the woman mother, . . .. In tnc course of a couplo of months tho past teemed a dream to him and he would have begotten it 1 1 alout it had he not kept repealing :o himself: 1 a. ii not Johnny M .nton, but Willie Allbrigh:, and they ftoie me away from Sheffield.' He was in Liverpool six weeks bcrore he knew the namo of tho city. When h ; had b. on taught how to dance, ting, tumble, and walk a tight rope a matter of three months' time he was taken around the country with a small show, which tho woman owned in part- The novilty of travel was so agreeable that lie almost forgot his situation, and was lor two or three years quite content. There was no o: e to teach him how to read or write, but ho was quick-wilted, and could rea-on beyond his years. He had hoi'1-" that ihe slioff would some day reach Sheilh Id, and he wouid then blip out and ru.i home, but tho people of course carefully avoided the place. Once, when they were showing at Doncaster, a few miles away, Willie observed a nian whoso face had a famil i ir look, gazing at him in an earnest manner, and presently heard hiui say to a iriend : " The laddie keeps me thinking of the child who was stolen away from neigh bor Allbright, but of course it can't bo ''tIio boy was about to call out that his name was Wblie Allbright when the woman, who always kept an eagle eye on him came closer and intimidated him The show then hurriedly packed up and left tho place. Tno boy now realized more fully than ever that his right name was Allbright. and that he had boon stolen from home, but he also felt his helplessuess. lie iad been tol I that if he ever tried to r i" away wild animals would pursue nnd i ivour him, .nd he was in mortal terror of a bulldog which followed the 6how. He therefore humbly obeyed all orders and made no movo to run was about 8 years old when ho chano-'tl masters, being sold for a good round price to a man who called himself Prof. Williams. This man was a ven triio'iiisi and juggler, and he took the boy to Australia with him and gave hall performances fr about a year or no. T'hev then returned, and made the tour ft II 18 A FBIIH1H WHOM THI TRUTH MAIIS BBI, 1KB ILL ASH st-AVM BKSIDK. EBENSBURG, PA..

The Professor then took the name of La Pierre, though he was no I'renci.man in look or speech, and travelled for a year. One day, a they were filling a date at Cedar Kapids, Iowa, the Iroy wa sent to the post oftice with letters, and a curious thing happened. One of the four . oys w ho had witnessed the per formance the night previous made up to him in u fr.endly way and asked his nauie. " Johnny Manton," was tho reply. ' Yes, but that's your stage name. What is the other?" Willie Alll nght." " That's funny. A family named All brigbt live next door to ue. They used to live in England." So did I." " Maybe you are related. I'm going to tell 'em about you." Two hours later a man ami his wifo called at the h-tel and asked for tho boy, and the mother had no .-ooner set eyes on him than ha hugged him to her i.e . rt. The father was lunger mak ing up his mind, but he soon canto to feel certain that John Manton was Will e Alli.right and the boy who had been stolen from him seven or eight years before. Tho parents had been in America three years, and h id long beTor-j given up all hopes of ever heating I'toiu the child. The professor made a great kick, as hi- bread and butler were at stake, but wiieti he found the people determined to have jn-tice done, be .slipped away la the night and was heard of no more. Life la Montevideo, Everybody rides. No one thinks of walking. Each family has its carriage and saddle hor.se, and oveu the beggars go about the streets on horseback. It is a common thing to be stopped on the sireet by a h. rsemau ami asked for a " coin avo," which is worth two and a bait' cents of our money. These inci dents are somewhat startling at iirst, and suggest highway robbery, but the appeal is made in such a humble, pitiiul tone that the feeling of alarm soou van ishes. " For the love of Jesus, Senor, give a poor sick man a centavo. I've had no bread or coffee to-day." And receiving the pittance the beggar will ride off like a cowboy to the nearest drinking place. The national drink is called cana (pronounced canyahi, and is made of the fermented juiCu of the .sugar-cane. It com a lis about ao per cent.aleohol and is sold at tsvo cents a goblet, so that a spree in Uruguay is within the reach ot the poorest mau. But there i very little intemperance in comparison with that in. our ow c tiritry. On ordinary days drunken n.ea m-.t seldom seen upon the streets, but on the evening after a religious feast the common people usually engage in a glorious c iioiiSitl. 1 he vestibule . of the tenement houses and the patois or courts which invari ably furnish a cool loafing-place in the centre of each, are commonly paved with the knuckle-hones of sheep, arranged in fantastic designs like m saie work. They always attract the attention of strangers, and It Is a standing joke to tell the tender foot that they are the knuckle tones of human beings Killed during tho many revoln'.ions. The ladles of Uruguay are considered to rank next to their sisters of Peru In beauty, and there is something about the atmosphere which gives their com plexion a purity and clearness th it are not elsewhere found. But when they reach maturity, like all Spanish ladies, they lose their grace and symmetry . of form and become very stout. This Is undoubtedly owing in a v;reat degree to their lack of exercise, for tney never walk, but spend their en tire lives in a carriage or rocking-chair. (Chicago Inter Ocean. A " Intiiiiier " at Sunday-School. A Boston "drummer" says that he was never cornered in his life, but he came near it once when he wn-s called on to make a speech before a Sunday school. I was spending my vacation last Summer in New Hampshire," he said. I went fishing one day on the town pond and as luck would have it, one of the Sunday-schools went on a picnic to the same placo. "A big thunderstorm came up and wo were all driven for shelter to a farm house near by. " Wo all crowded around the opn fire place to get dry. I was completely drenched and ;ot bo close to tho fire that its warmth soon put me to sleep. " Pretty soon some one tugged at my should- r and hauled mo oh my feet. It was tho occupant of the house. Said he to the school which was crowded around mo : " 'Mr. from Boston will say a few words.' " What shall I say?' I asked half awake, and ba !ly confused. Oh, say three words to them,' said he. " All right, I replied. Children. I will say threi' words to you, only thre words,' I began, and then I stuck. " ' Only thren words,' I began again. But the three words did not come, and the expectant school Seeing my plight began to grin. Then I suddenly recollected an ex perience at Chik; Cod. ' Children, ' I began for the third time, I will make it only three letters instead of three words. I once heard a Superintendent at Cape Coil tell his school about three letter which he said made tho word that Sunday-school chil dren should revere alove all things. " Can you guess the word, Mary?" said he. " Can't you, Johnny? It is only three letters. Come now It Is simple and eay : L-u v ' love Is the word." ' " Bow a Do t Kedocr Blmielf. " I say, Oawge.

(Babyhood. "WOMEN "WHO LOVE "WOES. The WiMtoin and Womanliness of Pern. tea Heine Km ployed. A ienlbl Plena for Indnstriou and Indrpentent Women. An English journalist says that the as sertion which is frequently made, that no woman who earns her own living does so for the love or work, but merely be cause she is compelled to work, has as far as be has been able to ascertain by coming In contact with work- rs of all classes, no foundation whatever. The factory girl ami the laundress who understood ttiir work have told me without hesitation that the would rath er work than do nothing, and all up the sooial scale it has been the same; but the more intelligent and intellectual the working woman, the more earnest and enthusias ic about her work have I in variablv found her to be. But once more I would say what has bem said again and again, that without thorough training no women will ever succeed in doing her work to her own or to employer' satisfaction, utid if this fact is once we.l understood by parents and teachers of uirls the chief uiiliculty in the way ol the advancemant of wo me.. will be removed. "All other i!i!li-ulties may in timobe overcome, and as the employments for women have during the la-t :M years been, and still are increasing, the train ing and work need bono drudgery, there being a sujlici -nt number of different employments open to every ehiss of wo men that e.-i' h may choose a department for whicu she is best lilted by natural gifts and idio-.j-ncrasies. " There are still a great many men and women who having never by experience known what it is to see life stretched out lie Co re them with but the one clear fact standing out of the dark fulure that that they must earn their living or per ish, speak of some spheres of womans' work as 'unwomanly.' "The only possible explanation of this assertion is that those who make it have no idea of the meaning of true woman liness. " A woman may break stones at the way-ide all the days of her life; 6he may pr. ach, lecture, or plead in court; may. Indeed, engage in any work done by man, and y. t be as true a woman as ever lived on eaith. " And why, in the name of justice, Is It more unwomanly to be a fermle cab driver (to take what has recently been much citd as an Instance of extreme uu womanliness), who drives her cab to keep body and .-oul together, than to do as the woman of the world, who drives her fancy vehicle through crowded Streets and parks, w.th only a tiny page at her back to represent the ' man?' " Tnere will bo unwomanly women In high life and in low as long as the worl l stands, but no work will ever in crease or diminish their numbers. What the extension of work must needs bring about is the solution of one of tho greatest social problems of our time namely, that of the equalization of the sexes; and after the barrier of Inequality falls, which now is put up at almost every step against women whose qualilicaiions and capacities are second to none, the way is clear enough." Something New of Ez-Preident Arthur. President Arthur," said Senator Vest. " is the most export and grace ful angler I ever saw handle a rod, and I have seen some of the best. ' While we were doing Yellowstone Park, one Sunday, the President and eeveral others besides myself rode ahead of the main party and reached our camping place quite early in the day. It was a beautiful spot, well shaded, with a splendid spring at hand, and near tho bank of a river. " After we had dismounted I strolled to the edge of the stream, and on the opposite side in a hole just ix-low a 1 ttlo rill I saw a splendid trout playing. He was a magnificent fellow, and s.emed to lw disport ng himself in t'ie cicar water it was as clear as crystal for his own amusement. I called the others to come and have a look at him, and expressed my regret that I had left all my rods and tackle with the pack mules. One of the party remarked that he had brought his rod along, and he at once returned to the horses for it. In a few moments he plac d it in my hands, and I rigged It and attached a ily. " The President, with arms folded across his i reast, was quietly watching the trout. " As soon as I had the fly properly secured 1 extended the rod to the Presi dent, saying : I want you to catch that fellow.. ' No, no," he responded earnestly, half turning away frm me, ' I never touch a rod on the Sabbath." " I was determine I that the President should have that trout; I stepped to the edge of the brook which was high and almost perp. ndicular, and pre tended to make a cast or two. I'm no slouch with the lly, and could have made the cast had I wanted to. " After several ineffectual efforts I again turned to tho President, who by this time was e .gerly alive to the wholo proceeding, and said: " ' Mr. President, you must make tho cast. It is too far for mo." " The keen instinct of the sporteman was fully aroused in him, and his eyes were fairly snapping. " He replied. : " Well, Vest, I'll consent to hook him, but I will not land him on the Sabbath.' " I passed the rod over to him. lie stepped forward to the spot on which I I had stood and made a cast. It fell a little short; but the next time he put the fly within two inches of the trout's nose, and with a swift dart the iish seized the lure. The President hooked him and turning toward me he extended the butt of the rod ia my direction, and said hurriedly : ' ' Take It, Vest ; take it quick ; quick. I won't land him on Sunday.' " 1 grabbed the rod, and after playing the fi6h for a while landod him. He weighed three pounds and a quarter, and the President ate part of him for supper." (Washington Post. A Dangerous Oirl.

A Itevlew f Convivial fn'tnmi in Early Time, and Legislat It.- Heatrlcilons on the ale f Alchulii ltrri-raget. An English exchange remarks that the drink question has been a difficult pr. b Ieui from the dawn of English history to the present day. The earlier pages of our annals record that the Britons were frugal in their meals, which consisted ch.e.ly of milk and venison. Their ordinary bevorago was water. They occasionally indulged in a term-rited driuk made from barley, honey or apples, and a free use of it never failed to make them ill-nalur d and ready to quarrel. During the Koman rule In thl "clry wine and other intoxicating drinks were freelv consumed. The bush, which was for ages the sign of an inn, is traced to the ltomans, and to them also we owe I the national custom of toastitig or health ! uriuing. The Saxon period was one In which ln- ' te. n per.mce prevailed toafearful extent. , It is stated on reliable authority t.iat I even the clergy spent days and nights in drunkonnes- and debauchery. i King Edgar must be . re litod with do ing a noble work in the reiormatlon of his countrymen from the baneful effects of strong drink. It is remarked by the It .v. Dr. French that the King nearly anticipated by a thousand years the leg islation piopoed by the United King dom Alliance. Acting on the advice of D.iiistan, says Strutt, "he put down nxiny ale houses, suffering on y one to exist in a village or small tuwu ; and he also further ordained that pins or nails should be lasiened into drinking cu, s or horns at stated distances, so that whoever should drink beyond these marks at one draught should be liable to severe punishment.'" Archbishop Dunstan was equally zeal ous in checking intemperance in the cnurch. We make . few extracts as fol lows from a code drawn up by him : " Let no d unking be allowed in the Church. Let men be very temperate at church wakes and pray earnestly, aud suffer there no dr.nking or uncieanliness. " Let priests beware of drunkenness and be diligent in warning and correct 1. g others in this ma.ter. " Let no ( rie-t be an ale ecop nor in any wise act the pleetuan." The Danes dran.; to a great excess, and during the time their kings occupied the throne of Eng. and drunkenness cas. a blight over the land. The Normal, conquest brought about many important changes in social life. Sobriety was not the .east of the virtue-, of the Normans. Coming down to 1 udor times, we find an almo tsim iar statute passed to the string-nt regulation of Edgar. In the last year of the reign of Edward VI it was enacted tha "none si.all keep a tavern for retailing wines unl ss li cense 1 ; and that only in cities, towns cor ora e, burgs, post towns or market towns or in the towns of Cirave.cud, S.ttinbou ne, Tuxford and Ba-shot, on the forfeiture of ten pounds. And tne e shall be only taverns for retailing win in every city or town ex. epl L. mlon which may have ioity taverns; in York, eight taverns ; in Norwich, four; in West minster, three; in Brist 1, six; in Lin coin, three; in Hull, four; in Shrews- oury, three; In filou ter, four; in Westchester (Chester, four; In Here ford. th:e-; in Southampton, three; in t':c.t-i Miry, four; in Ij.swi- h three; in . 1 h three ia t)l..id. three; ii C::i . four: in oU;i- s r. three, and in Newcastle-on-Tyne, four." It is chronicled that this legislation was the means of reducing the consump tion of intoxicating dnnk. Intel Iprenoeor it Ca-rler Pigeon. The lntellig-neo of the homing pigeon Is one of its marked traits, and few qualities are more necessary for a faith ful message-bearer. Instances have f.equently b-en recor led by pigeon fan ciers, where the bird has shown almost human ingenuity in avoiding dangerous p:aceswhen bearing important messages, and by taking a circuitous route they have escaped almost certAin death. While passing through the South of France several years ago one of theset feathered carrier stopped near a gentle man s house to ret and eat. While quietly watching the inmates of t: e bouse through a window the little carrier , ttracted the a;tention of the owner ol the place, who offered it tood out of hit. own hand. With a s'range fea-lessness the bird perched itself on the g nth-man's hand and began t-o eat. Thos. all packet w hich the pigeon carried pla i y informed the gentleman the bird's err md, and, taking the little creature In th-i house, he allow i it to eat r.i..! i est as much as It desired. All atteii.p s to examine the contents of the packet however, were violently objected to by the ear.i r. ATter half an hour's rest the bird be came uneasy, and taking its perch upon the window sill, It began tapping sig nificantly on the glass wiih its bill. 1 he gentleman curious to see what Ihe bird would do if forcibly detained, paid no attention to this mute but plain appeal. The bird then begin to lly from the window to the man's shoulder and back agaiu, pecking angrily In turn on the window pane and at his host's ear.- S ill finding no response to Its demands, the bird became frant c In its action, uniii finally, losing all patience, it dashed ibelf heavilv against the window glass and shattered it Into a hundred pie. es. Whether the bird was hurt by the sharp class coti'd not be ascertained, as the .ai.hful little messenger quickly mounted In the air and was soon lost in the dis tance.

Not a few men and boys have learned new lessons iu natural hUtory from own ing these beasts.

NUMBER 40 A SAMARITAN'S EXPERIENCE. Graphic li-r-oraitement for the frdiftca tiou of one T) ie of Philanthropist. A newspaiKT man of wide acquaint ance and laBitevolent disposition was go ing home one night not long ago when he fell in, at the doorway of a hotel, with a person of some consequence in the community, who had tarried mu. h too long over the wine cup. and was in a stale where di-grace if not harm might come to him if be were not got safely home very soon. " Bless "me !' said the newspaper man to himself, "here's a chance to do the good Samaritan. I'll have to handle Job-on carefully, lecaiiso he is very drunk, and adroitly steer him home while seeming to let hlin have his own way." Sohestoppel and fell Into easy con versation with Jottfton, and presently said : " Well, I must tc going home, Jwbson. Won't you wal along with me?" ' Shert'nly, ol' Ik. shertn'Iy," said Jobson. "ilreat'ey pleasure' u 'e warl" shee a man home. Come ri' long, ole fel ow, c-e long." They s -t out together, the newspaper man support ing the unsteady movements of his companion. Suddenly the former remembered that ho didn't know where Jobson lived, ex cept that it was somewhere aw.iy off in the souther.! outskirts of the ciiy, a fear ful di-tanco beyond his own house. But he didn't dare to ask any questions that would suggest to Jobson that he was taki-rg him home, and simply deluded on the impetus in tho right dhe- tlon to carry them along. Presently they reached the newspaper man's ho ise, and Jobson iu-istel on leaving him there. But the newspaper man Kt'cw veiy br .theily and kept Job Bon going. The hitter protested that the night was damp and chilly, that it wouldn't do for him, the journalist, to stay out, and so on. But the newspaper man kept him going and going. There wasn't a car or a carriag e, and the good Samaritan wouldu't Lave dared to take one if there had been. It grew yery late h thought of bis own 'fege;t:rigup in alarm at his absence. But he was in for It. Along toward morning they reached a door which Jobson, who had grown drunker and drunker, seemed to have a friendly interest in. The newspaper man tried it, and Mrs. Jobson came to the door. "All ri' old girl." said Jobson. "my fr'en' seen me home, now I mus' shee him home. Ooo' night, ole girl ! Can't let him go'ome 'lone in this damp air!" It ouid seem that nothing could re strain Jobson from starting back to town with his compnnlon. Finally ho insisted, as a compromise, that the news paper man ahould stay all night with Li ui. Mrs. Jobson gave an appealing look, and the journalist consented, thin king to get Jobson in the house and then slip out, by his wife's aid. But once in, Job Roti insisted that he must sleep with him, and grew very ugly when he tried to get out of it. And so the unfortunate newspaper man went up to bed with the drunkard, who took olf Ms coat only whe his friend di i, and wouldn't touch a sing e button until the other had unfastened the corresponding one, and wouldn't get Into bert until the other bad. At lat both were snuglv under th she t . and the newspaper mnn was waiting eagerly for some sign that his compan.on was asleep, when Jobson ex cl.nino i : "Client--, ole fellow, did you shay your prayers?" " No." " By zho ole Harry, get up and shay your prayers, an' I'll shay mine!" Tho newspaper m.m got up and knelt at one side of the bed and Jobson at the other. When the c-.remoiiies w.to com pleted, both got back into bed, and in atwut five minutes Jobson began to snore loudly. The newspaper man saw his oppor tunity. He rose stealthily, put on his underclothing with trembling hands, sneaked down the stairs with his outer garments in his arms, and finished his dressing below. Then he hade the weep ing Mrs. Jobson good morning, and started for Ids own house. It was broad daylight when he reached home, and he lound another weeping woman there to gteei him. " Tho next time I lind a drunken man making a night of It " the newspaper mau says now, " he can make a night of it for all nie. I have Imd enough of the good Samaritan business to last me all my life." (Boston llecord. The Middle Woman.
