Ileading ESCAPED FROM JUSTICE It was a bitter night in January—a tight when homeless \fan dere rs on the noors might have sunk down and frozen to death, and the very marrow• seemed to congeal in one's bones. "There's one advantage in steam," growled a fat old gentleman in the cor- ner seat:" wind and weather don't effect it. No flesh and blood in horse could stand a night like this, but the iron horse keeps straight ahead, whether the ther mometer is at zero, or at boiling water heat." Just then the conductor entered. "Tickets, gentlemen. if you please." "It's a dreadful night. conductor," I said feeling with stiffened fingers for my ticket, in the breast pocket of my coat. "Dreadful. sir," feelingly responded the conductor, "Why, the brakeman can't live outside, and so I look the other way when they creep in, poor fellows to get a Teat!' of warm air at the stove. We ave not had such a night since a year ago the second of February, when Tom Blakeslee, the baggAg - e master, froze Luth his feet, and a wonn.n who was coining on from Chicago, got off at Bina i's Four Corners with her baby in her arms a corpse!" "Frozen to death!" "Aye, frozen to death and she never thought, poor thing. but it was asleep. `My baby's cold,' says she, 'but we'll soon warm it when we get home.' It was just such a night as this." And the onductor opened thesloor_;thcl plung,eil across the coupling into the next car, crying out: Hardwick!" It was quite a considerable city, with a handsome depot. daring gas lamps and the usual crowd around the platform. with hands in its pockets and its cigar ends flaming through the night. Our car was nearly the lit of the long train, and but one passenger entered it— a slender young girl. wrapped in 'a gray blanket shawl, trimmed with stone color ed velvet flowers. She seemed to hesitate like one unused to traveling, and filially sat down near the door. "Pardon me, young lady," paid I, — but ou bad better come nearer the stove." She started, hesitated an instant, and en of — Does this train go to Bayswater*: — she asked in a voice so deliciously sort and sweet that it seemed to thrill through me. "Yes: can Ibe of any service to on?" "Olt no—at least not until we reach Bayswater. I would like a carriage then." "We shall not be these yet these three 'ours." "Do we stop again?" "Only at Exmouth.•" She drew a deep Sigh. seemingly of re lief, and settled hack in a corner. By the light of the lainp that hung in its bras fixture opposite, I could see her face. that of a lovely child. Apparently she was uo more than sixteen, with large blue eyem, golden hair, brushed smoothly back ft om her face, and a little rosy mouth like that of a baby. "Do you expect friends to meet yon at Bayswater, my child" 1 a,ked o, sir; I ant going to school there." It ire an awlo‘ard hour for uni to lye at—one in the nwrniun "Oh, lam nut afraid." she said with an artless little 'laugh; shall go straight to the seminary." So the express thundered on. l‘ith steady ceaseless pulsing at its inui heart, and constant roar. Suddenly the signal NNliistle sounded. the train began to slacken it:, speed. "Surely we are not at Exmouth yet." I thought,unless I have fallen miconschms ly asleep and allowed the pi ogress of tinge to escape ine. I glanced at my watch; it was barely half-past eleven, mid I knew we were not due at, Exmouth until after twelve. I rubbed the frost from the pane and look ed out. We had stopped at a lonely little way station in the midst at a durnie pine woods. "Is this Exmouth?" It was the soft voice of the prat trav eler opposite. "..No—l don't know what place it is: some way station." "Does this train stop at way stations?" "Not generally; they must have been specially signalled here. You are cold. my child—your voice trembles." "It is cold," she said iu a scarcely aud ible voice, drawing her shawl around her. "Oh, I wish they would hurry on:" e are moving once more, " I sa i d. "Conductor"—for the man of tickets was passing through the car- -- why did we stop at that backwoods place?" `'Out of water," was the reply, as he hurriedly passed by. low 1 knew perfectly well that this an ewe: was not the true solution of the matter. Our delay did not exceed half a minute altogethr-r to short a time for re plenishing the boilers: and when on earth Nra3 the water to come from in that des olate stretch of barren pine woods? Five niinntes after the conductor re-en tered the ear: I made room for him at my rza "Sit down Conductor; you've notliug to do this minute" lie obeyed. "What did you mean by :telling me such.a lie. just now ?" I spoke under Inc breath : replied i the same tone. "About what?" "About the reason yon stopped just nowt.. , Ile smiled "To tell cou the truth, I stopped to take on a single passenger—a gentleman who has come do from Bayswater.'• "For the pleasure of traveling once more over the same route ?'' "Exactly so—for the purpose of.•travel - it in certain society. Don't he alarm ed for your own safety—it's a detective I was about to repeat his ti ords in as tonishment, when he motioned inc to silence. "Wlrere is ?" "The detective ? He sils by the door, yonder, with a ragged fur cap pulled over his eyes. Did you ever see a more per fect specimen of a dilapidated country man?" I smiled ; I could hardly help it.

As a fair illustration of their anti able candor, I have Condensed the follow ing specimen from the New York Herald correspondent's recent interview with Napoleon. CAM . . ByNo.] As I was ushered into the reception room at Wilhelmshohe the Emperor arose ;from a - luxurious fauteuil," of course,) and advanced to welcome me, with ex tended hand and air of extreme Brat flea lion that put me perfectly at case. "Bang %Imo, sir" said I, giving his hand a cordial shake. With the exquis ite tact of practical courtier, his Majesty siezal the occasion to pay me (and my countrymen) one of the neatest compli ments. lie said : "Perhaps we had bet ter conduct our conversation in English. The fact is, you speak French with accent that really shames us Parisians.— I've often remarked this trait in accom 'dished Americans, and Avondered at it.'' The Emperor's remark was so unexpect edly flattering that it took my breath away for a moment ; but under cover of a profound how, I recovered my fluency and , served: " Such a compliment from your Z.fajesty ill happier days, would have brought the entire American nobility to your feet." My indirect allusions to his misfortunes affected his Majesty profound- ly. The tears that chased each other down his majestic and imperial purple nose and in imperial sorrow from the w.txed ends of his moustache might have moved a heart, of stone, with a little as- sistetnce Surely thought T, the Emperor who can thus weep at his own calamities (mount Lc utterly heartless. When the Emperor had recovered his composure, and had his nose blowed by the proper officer, I opened the conversa in a way that I thought least likely to of fend his delicacy. I told him it was cur rently reported that lie had feathered his nest pretty well while Emperor; and I should take it as a special favor if lie would tell me how much he had really stolen. In America, I told him. public men were expected to lay by something for a rainy day, and it would rather em it:lnce our respect for him to be assured that he had exercised a like justifiable prudence. He replied, "My friend. I res pect; tin Herald ton much to deceive it. 1 have inade a nice thing, on the whole, and my chamberlain shall provide you with an inventory of all that I have gob hied." I asked him if he owned any pro pel t'• in New York... , Well," said he, "I thought I owned the New York World a few months ago; but since the Sedan affair it has gone back on me." — Your Majesty WAS accused of treach cry at Sedan. Was you really a traitor?" :•Frankly." said he, "I think if I had tried I might have died at the head of the army instead of surrendering. If this be trea son make the most of it."

Nvliether your father n•as I3onaparte or a dutch Admiral, as some have intima ted?" His Majesty with great cheerful ness replied, — So would I!" The engaging freedom with which his Majesty unhosomed himself emboldened me to pursue my inquiries, and our vim versation became almost confidential. I asked Lim if Eugenie was everjealous. Ile replied: "Not as Empress: but as Mrs. Napoleon I have sometimes thought she was inclined too be a little too strict with :lie." I said: "Can you lay your hand on your heart. sire, and solemnly assure the Herald that you never gave her cause for jealousy?" The Emperor ( mnsingly)— "You may be right.'' At this point, the Emperor seemed :t good deal cut up. and sighed profoundly. Instead of answering my question explicitly, I 'vas sorry to see him put both hands in his pockets instead of on his heart. I told him lie might deem me rather in quisitiva, but if he knew how deeply in terested we nericans were in such scan dal, I was sure he would gladly tell me all :Mont the Bellanger intrigues referred to iu his I.rivate correspondence, which \vas ii sc w i red at the Tuilleries after the 112;lit of the Empress.

An 0:ago Laav'E Love To'ker. An officer in the United States Navy, a Commodore, recently deceased, 'some years ago became acquainted with a beau tiful young Indian girl, of the Osage tribe. She interested him by reason of her youth, wild dark beauty, and musical accents, and while sojourning in the neighborhood of this forest flower, lie saw her often in her father's tent. The daughter of a chief, her dress dis- played. all the ornamention entiticd by her rank, and her picturesque costume claim ed the admiration of the " white face." A few words of her language on his part. and an equal amount of English on her's, enabled them, with the aid of signs, to carry on a conversation over the bead em broidery with which her slender fingers were usually engaged. One article of the Indian belle's toilet was a little apron of silk, ornamented with a curiously-wrought vine, the leaves of which were representedglittering with dew—produced by cunningly interwoven crystal beads. This became the favorite subject of chit-chat, and when the dark beauty found that the bit of an apron pos sessed some merit:in the eyes of the hand some officer it was always worn. Months passed, and their intimacy con tinued, the officer teaching the maiden the English language. Orders at length came, and the officer made the Indian under stand that his vessel must soon anchor in another port. Then came the knowledge, unsuspected by hint before, that the child of that dusky race loved him. Of a different race, and so much her senior, he had never dreamed such a thing could come to pass, and it was with a heavy heart that he bade her good-bye. In leaving she presented him an embroid ered apron, similar to the one he so much admired, and pointing to a favorite tree, under which they had often sat together, she told him that she had embroidered it for Lim while sitting up in the branches, watching for his coming. The apron he kept as a sacred relic of this romance, which could never die out of his memory. Some years after the Commodore revisited the port, and learn ed that the maiden had been wedded a few months after his departure to a young warrior. surviving her nuptials but a short time. It is but a few months since he himself was laid to rest, and these two, separated on earth by the barriers of race and color which divide the human family, may in the •• spirit land" have become united. Passing through different hands the gift of the Indian girl has come to the city of Phila. on an errand of merry. to swell the funds in aid of the sufferers on a dis tant shore, and the embroidered apron will be disposed of at the post office of the French Bazaar. If it bring but sufficient to purchase a cup of cold water'' for a few famishing souls it will have perform ed a holy mission. W.EI7 7 11E7 ZON'T 2Z,T,117 _V writer in the Chicago Tribunr tells , some plain truth in the snlijoined ex tracts: I think the reason young men do not marry is because girls have ceased to be domestic, and spend a great deal of money upon dress. They are not content to live in a quiet way and dress moderately; they must go out, dress and ride, and frequent places of amusement, have suppers and boquets, and receive adulation. It costs a great deal of money, which the young loan furnishes, and he never gets ahead enough to marry, so they repent. and try their luck over again. it is the easiest thing in the world to do with less luxury ; but it involves a little self-sacrifice and economy, and these 'virtues are fast be coming exotics. Fully one-half the girls who are now filling situations in stores, offices, etc.. go there in the first place in order to be able to dress better. They live in plain but comfortable homes. and must help with the housework of the child ren of their own kin; but they hear glo‘‘ lug accounts of the city; they want the liner:: that is denied them, and they want to go from those peaceful horne-lives.flom the kind guardianship of parents, to the toil and temptations of the ten-hour sys tem. They go plain country girls.with modest. blushing cheeks and smooth, shining hair. They stay theie a year or two, aml their cheeks are pale and their hair is frizzed. They have lost the g-ouchei ie if blushing. and are hold at repartee. They dress somehow and live somehow. lint they hav e hours of despondency that make them old. It is one long struggle with labor and temptation. and how they pie serve their integrity God only knows Now, would not these girls be happier as the wives of farmers or mechanics ? Would not one word of genuine love out weigh a ton of admiration ? Would not the smile of a child be a thousand 'times better than the gaze of libertine ? Is it not easier to work for one's own than for strangers t to feel that you are king in your own castle, if it is only a one-story cottage? Woman's independence will work her a deadlier wrong than any bond she has ever worn. When she steps be yond the fair threshold of womanly pow er—the archetypal home, where God has made her supreme—to fight the demons of political or commercial life•, she lays down a sceptre to take up a chain. who.e iron canker will cat into her soul. THAT IS TILE Qt - Esrro\.-X teacher in a western county in Camula while making his first visit to his constituents. came into conversation r.iii an eminent Ver mont lady, who had taken up her resi dence in the backwoods. Of course the school and the former teacher came in fin• criticism, and the old lady, in speaking of his predecessor. asked: ••wa'll master, what do you think he learned the schol ars?" I couldn't say, ma'am. Pray wint did he teach? "Wa'al, he told 'em this ere arth was round: what do you think of such stuff?" Unwilling to come under the category of the ignorami. the teacher evasively remarked: - It does seem strange, butt still there are many learned men who teach these things." "Wa'al," says she, "if the art It is round, and goes round, what holds it up?" "Oh, the sun and the sun holds it up by virtue of at traction." The old lady lowered her specks. and by way of climax responded: "NVa'al. if these high larut men sez the sun holds . up the arth, I should like to know what holds the arth up when the sun goes down?" [WHOLE NUMBER, 20,869 ' TEE BLISPEEMOUS CROW. At a ePrta in cross-roads in the state of Alabama, stood a small grocery or whisky shop, where " Mist-head"_ and " chain lightning" were dealt out to the thirsty unwashed at five cents a drink, or, twenty five cents a quart. The presiding genius of this delectable institution was one Bill. Sikes, who, among various pets, had a do mesticated crow, black as the ace of spades. This crow had learned among other things to repeat quite plainly the words. "damn you: - which he, of course, heard frequently used in the grocery. During the prevalence of a knock-down and drag out light one day. however, the crow was frightened from home, and dew off to the woods never to return. About three miles from the grocery v,•as a settlement meeting house—an old tutu ble down affair, only used on certain oc casions. when a eireuit rider came that way. Into this building went the crow, taking peaceable possession; and two days thereafter the church was thrown open to preaching, and a large crowd assembled, among whom was a very old lady, who was compelled to use her crutches in walking, who took her seat in the front pew, and was soon absorbed in the elo quence of the preacher. The reverend gentleman had scarcely got, under full headway, and commenced thundering his anathemas at all grades of sinners, when a hoarse, croaking voice from above ut tered the ominous words: " Damn von!" The preacher and congregation looked. aghast at such profanity, and eachpeered into his neighbor's face in vain to detect some sign of guilt. Quiet was at length restored, however, and the sermon pro ceeded; hnt ere ten minutes elapsed, the ominous "damn you!" again electrified the audience, and just as the preacher cast his eyes upward to search for the de linquent, the crow flew down from his perch, and lighting upon the Bible. calm ly surveyed the terrified crowd. and gave another doleful croak. Damn you!" The effect was electrical. Giving one startled and terrified glance at the intrud er, the preacher sprang from the window, carrying sash, glass, and all with him, and set off at a break neck pace through the vo ods, closely followed by his horror stricken congregation, who had piled out of the building pell-mell after him. In the general scramble the old lady with the crutches had been knocked down in the church. where she lay, unable to rise: and on observing her, the crow who was after something to cat, flew clown beside her, and looking up at her very knowingly, croaked out: "Damn you:— The old lady eyed him savagely for a few moments, and then l,urst forth in a tone of reckless defiance: Yes. and damn you too! I had not!: ing to ilo with getting up this ,pld meet ing—and you know it!" The poor old WOlllall had mistaken the crow for the devil, and concluded, if pos sible, to propitiate his satanic majesty by denying all complicity in that affair. The Ivorlil is full or just such people SAVED BY A HousE.—Let any man who has ever struck a faithful horse in anger read this true story and he :e4hain ed of himself: Some years since. a party of surveyors had just finished their day's work in the north-western part of Illinois. when a \ i oient snow storm came oil. They started for their camp. which was in a grove of about eighty acres in a large prairie.near ly twenty miles from any other timber. The wind was blowing very hard. and the SRO\V drifting so as to nearly blind them. When they thought they had nearly reached the camp, they all at once came upon tracks in the snow. These they looked at witn care, and found, their dkmay. that they were their own tracks. It was now plain that they were lost on the great prairie, and that if they had to pass the night there, in the cold and snow the chance was that not one of them would be alive in the morning. While they were all shivering with fear and the cold, the chief nvin of the party caught sight of one of their horses—a gray pony known as —old Jack." Then the chief said, if any one can show us our way to camp. out of this blinding snow. Old Jack can do it. I will take otT his bridle and let him loose. and we can follow him. I think he will show us the way to our camp... The horse as soon as ho found himself free. threw his head and tail into the air as if proud of the trust that had been put in him. Tiien he snuffed the breeze, and gave a loud snort, which seemed to say -Came on boys! Follow me, I'll lead you out of this serape.'' lle then turned in a new direction and trotted along. but not so fast that the men could not follow him. They had not gone snore than a mile. when they saw the cheerful blaze of their camp tires. and gave a loud burrs ;.t the sight.

Almost every one has tried or seen tried the experiment of applying the human tongue to a pump handle on a very cold morning. The re sult in such cases are. that a portion of the skin of the tongue remains attached to the frozen iron. Will the same result follow the introduction of :t heavy iron bit into a horse's mouth. in excessively cold weather? It is not only a painful. but a dangerons practice. Thus a horse's mouth bee ate , frozen by the cold iron several times a day put into it: .each time causing these freezing:: to go deeper and deeper. to end at last in extensive ulcera tion. Thinking and humane people avoid this be first warming the bits; but this too much trouble, and sometimes impos sible. as in night \yolk, like staging and physician's work. Now all tins is avoid ed. by getting leather bits so made that no metal substance can touch the flesh. Don't fail to t y it. Dipping the bits in cold water will take out the frost.
