To nil vtlio stnml bencatli our flag
Is freedom, both to silk and nig,
Nor can a pampered Huron brag
That lie Is more than others.
Young man, consider where you ni c,
What It Is to he beneath our star
To be the equal of n Czar,
And coll all men your brother.
Not so where Europe's crowned pates
f.ook round upon Its four estates
And frown upon the man who waits
And works for something better.
With u, ouch man Is free to do
Vi'hat'er, In right, he wishes to
And Is as flee lo "pit3h It through"
As Zeus from every fetter.
So, youth, If you do not succeed
Where from such hindrance you are freed,
Then something must be wrong, indeed,
About your own dear self.
To honest fame tlo you aspire?
Or would you competence acquire?
You may obtain what you desire,
E'en though ) ou wish for pelf.
lint If you'd rise to high position,
You mtit fulfill a sure condition;
There Is it stage of hard traiiilllou
That Is to bo passed through. '
To think, to toll and to discern
lletnecn Ihe worthless chaff and corn.
And every Idle thought In simrn
All this you aro to do.
Ro, then, don't say your lot Is hard,
And that all hope you must discard
Of ever being sage or bard
Or splendid millionaire;
Hut show Hint you deserve to be
An honored man, and then you'll see
That soon the people will agreo
To raise and put you there.
A Shrewd Widower.
Deacon Grinder was a portly widower.
He was the biirvtving parent of three
sprightly children, and regarded as in
possession of considerable property. The
"little darlings," as they were styled,
met with lavish expressions of admira
tion in the presence of tho deacon from
a number of ancient maiden ladies and
widows. Jliss l'hilena Peck had taken
care of them during his temporary ab
sence, and declared that she fairly doted
cm children and hoped the deacon would
let thcin come again. The Widow Clapp,
as he was driving by, hurried out with a
pail of honey in the comb, all of which
she said was just the thing for the little
dears. "Deacon," said she, '"when are
they coming to spend the day with me?"
As the deacon reached the village green,
nut of n millinery tdoro tripped Miss
Barbara Bowper. Mio commenced to
flutter the widower for his"be-yutiful re
marks" in pr.iycr-mcetingn few evenings
before, and then wound up by presenting
Tommy w ith a collar, Josie with a hand
kerchief, and Dorothy with a doll. "Oh!
don't thank me, Deacon," she said. "It
ain't nothing compared with the peace
of mind I got a-listcning toyour precious
remarks." On drove the flattered father,
As ho passed Naomi l'oole's house, she
was sitting by the window, and modestly
but pleasantly smiled and nodded to the
party as they drove by.
In the evening, as the Deacon sat alone
at the hearthstone with his bister Mahal.t
Ann, the latter commenced to qucstio..
him if he meant to marry again. lie re
plied he thought it would add to his do
mestic felicity. Mahala replied: "In
that cisc I do hope you'll make a sensi
ble choice, and not allow yourself to bo
imposod upon by a pack of selfish widows
and scheming old maids." She assured
him it was only because ho had a nice
homo and farm, and money at interest,
that they pretended to lovo him and his
children so much.
"Well ho said, bringing down his
palm forcibly upon tho table, "I ain't
sorry that those investments of mine in
tho Mariposa Silver Mining Company
have proved a failure."
"What do you mean?" said Mahala
Ann, curiously eyeing him over tho top
of her spectacles.
But the deacon only shook his head
and smiled, "Time will show," said he,
"time will show,"
Tho news of his loss in Mariposa stock
flew about the community. Shortly after
the deacon mado his appearance, and
told Miss Beck he was about to go to
California, and hoped she could be in
Jural to give his children it home.
"O, dear, no!" said Miss Beck. "I
never could get along with a pack of
children! I dare say you can find some
orphan asylum or place of that sort, by
inquiring around a little.

''I thank yon," said tho Deacon, with
dignity. "I 'shall trouble neither you;
nor him."
"Well," said Mitt Bowper, with a toss
of the head, "you needn't fly iuto a rage

Naomi Poole ran out of the Htllo gar

"Deacon Grinder," hcsltntcd she, turn
ing rose red and white by turns, "is this
true?"
"About my Mariposa investment?
Yes."- "And that I am going to Cali
fornia?" "I urn talking of it," said the
deacon,
"Would could you let mo tiiko care
of the little ones while you nro gone?"
said Naomi, tenderly drawing little Dol
ly to her side. "You have been so kind
to mother and mc, Deacon Grinder, that
wo should feci it it privilege to bo ablelo
do something for you."
And poor, soft-hearted liltlo Naomi
bttrstoutcrying. There wits moisture on
tho deacon'B eyelashes, too.
"God bless you, Naomi!" said lie.
"Yon are a good girl a very good girl.''
"Ain't it true?" baid l'hilena Peek. '
"Well," said Mrs. Mopsley, "it is, and
it ain't. He did loose what he invested
in thcin Maripcsa mines, but it was onlv
$1,000; and the rest of his moncv is all
tight and safe in United States bonds and
solid real estate.'"
"Blcr.6 me!" baid Barbara Bowper.
"Well, I never!" said the Widow
Clapp, with a discomfited countenance.
"And," went on Mrs. Mopsley,' with
evident relish "in the- consternation she,!
was causing, "they aro building 't

"A child like that!" said Mrs. Clapp.
"With no experience whatever!" said
Barbara Bowper, scornfully.
"I hope Jio won't repent of his bar
gain," said Miss Philcna Peck.
And Miss Philena's charitable hopes
were fulfilled. Tho deacon never did re
pent of his bargain.
A Wicked Woman.
On tho morning of Aug. 20, 16GS,
Senor Laliarricr,an immensely wealthy
Spaniard, died suddenly at his home in
St. Thomas. Ills young and beautiful
wife acted as though demented when
she learned that her husband had passed
away, and her Intense grief and pro
longed hysteria gave rise to the belief
that tho unfortunate woman would her
self soon follow the husband whose loss
she seemed to feci such poignant grief
for. When Senor I.a Barrier's will was
probated it was found that ho had be
queathed his entire fortune to his wife,
and, as no one disputed the testament,
the young wife decided to turn the for
tune into ready cash and leave St.
Thomas.
Shortly after scnora's departure tho
servant who had been employed In tho
family of Senor La Barrier informed tho
chief of police that ho had occasion to
believe that his late master had been
poisoned, and that no less a personage
than La Barrier's wife had committed
the crime. IIo handed the chief a vial
of prusslc acid, which he said ho baw
drop from scnora's pocket, wrapped in a
handkerchief, a couple of nights beforo
his master's death: and, though a doc
tor's certificate declared that death w'as
occasioned by peritonitis, ho was moral
ly certain that the man had been poison
ed. The body of La Barrier was subse
quently exhumed, and a post-mortem re
vealed the fact that death was occasioned
by prussie acid.
Suspicion pointed to the wife as the
murderess, and steps were at once Insti
tuted by the murdered man's sister-in
law to discover the whereabouts of Sc-
nora La Barrier.
"Black Pedro," the detective was, at
tho time wo speak of, probably better
known to the criminal class of Cuba and
Mexico than any other man living. To
htm was Intrusted tho finding of Senora
La Barrier, and It was under peculiar
diulcultics that the officer started out
to find the woman. Ills ability in such
cases was never doubted, and his daring
and bravery were by-words with every
one.
"Black redro" bad reached Vera Cruz
In his bcarch for tho missing woman, ami
one day ho Imparted the object jf his
visit to a feUow-offlccr. After cxplnln-
Ing all the circumstanee3 which had
come to his knowledge concerning the
young and beautiful widow, he said that
there was no doubt In his mind whatev
cr that she had murderori her lmshnnrl

PA., SATURDAY, JUNE 6. 1885,

i by tho description nnd portraits given
,VmW1 "Black rodro"' and his friend
parted that-night the latter said: lilght, and tlrtl Was.thc list ever heard
"Bo careful, redrew or that handsome : of htm. Tho .'following, mbrnlng.a ser
Creatur4;.vlll tflek yo.U and makeher es. , vant, by mistake, entered a sldc-door
po." . :. ....
,Oirthtrfalowlng morning t'edro stood
lntri'iintc-to'om adjoining the elegant
afttrtmrjrtts.of Sc'norlta Lapu'erta, await
ing that -lady's presence. As sho ap
peared In nnswer to his card tho detcc-
IJvc quietly said;
,"Sdnora', it Is my duty to arrest yori!"
"You dare not I"
The -woman's Hps wera white with
passion, rather than fear, and sho stood
beforo tho detective like a. lioness nt
bay,
He himself could not help but note
tho striking beauty of tho woman. Tall
and slender, eyes black and flashing, nl
mo3t lurid at tho time, the spectacle she
presented standing there In the middle
of tho room, was moro tho appearance
of a queen than a huntod criminal.
"I must," replied "Black Pedro," "I
do not doubt your innocence Looking
In your face, It Is strange that any one
could couple It with guilt. But I am
constrained to do my duty, senora, how.
over unpleasant it may be to my feci"
Ings."
"Will you allow mo to change my
dress?'' she said, in a tono almost pleas
ant. The hard lines around the mouth
had relaxed nnd tho passionate glow on
tho face gave way to pleasant smile.
"Certainly, I will wait for you
here."
I also wish to send a messenger
for a friend. Will you permit him to
pass?"
"Certainly." .
As tho woman left the room "Black
Pedro" stepped to tho window and said
to his mate, who was waiting at tho
street door:
"Seuora desires to send a messenger
for a friend. Will you permit hint to
pass?" Almost the same instant the
door of the apartment that senora had
cntcredopened, and a youth apparent
ly a mulatto boy came out and passed
hurriedly through the room into the hall,
and from thence into the street. It was,
no doubt, the messenger, Pedro thought,
and he picked up a book and began
reading.
Nearly an hour passed and still senora
did not make hsr -.appearance, nor did
the boy return. The friend she had sent
for must havo lived at somo distance,
"Black Pedro" thought, or senora was
I'unusually careful about iter toilet, and
to another hour went by. At last the
detective grew impatient and knocked
at the door,
'''Senora, I can watt no longer."
There was no reply. He knocked re
peatedly, and at last he determined to
effect an entrance. Strange fears har
assed him; he began to suspect he knew
not what. It took but a moment to
drive In the door.and, once In the apart
mcnt.the mystery was revealed. Scnora's
clothes lay upon the lloor, and scattered
over tho roam wcro suits of boys' wear
ing apparel, similar to the one worn by
the mulatto boy. On a table was a cos
metic that would stain tho skin to a
light, delicate brown. "Black Pedro"
was foiled for a certainty.
Senora had escaped in tho guise of a
messenger. Why had ho not detected the
ruse? Ho felt humiliated nnd determ
ined to redeem his error. He knew she
would not remain in the city an instant
longer than she could help. Ho hurried
to her banker's, but found that sho had
drawn the amount due her nn hour be
fore. "Who presented the check?" asked
the detective.
'A mulatto boy It was made payable
to bearer."
There was yet a chance. A steamer
left within an hour for America; It was
possible that sho would ieek that means
of escape. "Black Pedro" jumped Into
a carriage and arrived at tho wharf ten
minutes before the vessel left just in
time to assist an aged and decrepit gen
tleman into the cabin. There were few
passengers; none of them answered the
description of the person tho detective
sought. He stood on the wharf watch
ing tho receding vessel until it disap
peared, lie was In the act of turnln;
away, when a driver of one of the car
riages at the landing, and who was per
sonally acquainted with "Black Pedro,"
approached the odlcer with tho remark:
"Pedro, did you see that old man on
board ho had a long white beard and
hair that fell on his shoulders?"
. "Yes."
"Well, sir, there's something curious
about him."
"Why?"
"Why, when he got Into my carriage
he was a mulatto boy, and when he got
out he was an old man!"
. "Black Pedro" uttered an exclamation
that could hardly be used in typo when
ho' heard this announcement, for he
knew the vessel would be far out at tea
before, she could " be overtaken. He
was foiled by a woman. Nor could he
help rejoicing, now that tho chase was
over, that tho woman had escaped. In
nocent or guilty, there was a charm
about this .woman that none could re
sist. The. spell of her wondrous beauty
nffccted'alT who approached her.
"It lingered; for years after in my
memory'" said "Black Pedro" one day
while narrating the incidents of the case,
"and I could not havo tho sin of her
blood upon my conscience."
On tho morning of Jan. 23, 1875, the
City of Mexico was startled by tho an
nouncement that a murder, the most
brutal and fiendish that had ever red-
