Not long since I had occasion to
visit one of our Courts, and while
ccinvereing with a legal friend I
hoard the name of John Anderson
fc.alled.
f I"There is a hard case !" remarked
My friend.
I looked npon tlio man in the pri
sener's dook. He was standing up,
and :plead; guilty to the crime of
theft. He was , a tall man, but bent
and infirm,' though not old.' His garb
Was torn, sparse and filthy; his face
all bloated: and bloodshot; his hair
matted with dirt; and his bowed form
quifering With delirium. Certainly
I never saw 'a more pitiable object.
Sorely that man was born a villain.
I l moved my place to obtain a fairer
View ofhis . •face. He saw my move
ment and turned his head. He gazed
upon me alsingle instant, and then
cevcring his face with his hands, he
sank powerless into his seat. .
e Good God I" '.l' involuntarily
ejaculated,' starting forward. "Oh !
Wil---."
'I I had hdf spoken his name when
he quickly raised his head and cast,
upon me a look of such imploring
agony that my tongue was tied at
once. ,The'n he covered his face.,
again. ' I asked 'my legal companion
if the prisoner had counsel. He said
do. I then told him to do all in his
power for the poor fellow's benefit,
and I would pay him. He promised,
and I left. I could not remain and
gee that man tried.• Tears came to
My eyes as Igazed upon him, and it
was not until I had gained the
Street and walked some (#staice/ that
I could breathe freely.
Min Anderson ! Alas! he was
ashamed to be known as his mother's
eon That was not his name; but
you shallithiow him 'by ha other. I
I will now call him by the name that
stood ripen the records of the court..
John. Anderson was my -schOol
'mate; and it was not many years ago.
F—not over twenty, that wo loft our
'Academy togothea, ho to return to
the home of wealthy parents; I to sit
down in ,the dingy sanctum of a
newspaper office for "a few years,.and
then. wander across the ocean. I was
gone .some four years,. and when - I
returned I found John a married
His father was dead, and had
'left his only son a princely fortine.
I "All, 31=--," he said to me as
'he met me at the railway station,
yon shall see what a bird I have
caged. 31y . :13firen is a lark 7 -a' robin,
—a very princess of !all birds that
ever looked beautiful er sang sweet-
He was enthisiastio; but not mis
taken, for I found his. wife all, that
he had said, simply - omitting the po
etry. She was truly one nf,the most
beautifnlWomen - I ever saw. And so
good; toa—so loving and, kind. AYe,
she so loved John •. that she really

evening. He was riot in, but his wife

I will be a man henceforth while life
lasts!" .
A little over two fi years had passed
when I read i :a newspaper, the
death of Ellen Anderson. IT. started
for the town wbere they had lived as
soon as possibl?, for I might ttelp
some one! A learful 'presentiment
had yossessed my mind; I
I stopped at, the stately house
where they had 'dwelt, but strang,ers
occupied it. .‘
" 'Where is John Anderson ?" • I
asked.. i '
knoW' l I'm sure. He hail
been gone these three months. His
wife died in' tlie last
week, l" `
"And the children ?"
"Oh I they both died before she
did I"
I staggered back; and hurried from
the place. I hardly knew which way
I went, but instinct net led me to the
churchyard. I, found , four graves
which hadheen made in three years.
The mother, the wife, j and the Iwo
children slept in them !I .
"And What has doneithis ?" I ask
ed myself. And a voice • answered
from. the( lowlysleeping place, " The
(lemon ofi . the.wine table ,
But this WAS I ncit all'the work—no,
go. The next I saw—O God I—was
far more terrible. I saw it in the
court-room. But that was not the
last, not:the last. '
I saw my legal friend on the day
following the !rig.' He—said John
Anderson was in prison. I hastened
to zee him. The turnkey conducted
me to his cell, the key turned in the
huge lock, the ponderoui door swung
With a sharp creak upon its hinges,
land I saw a dead body suspended by
the neck Iron the .grating of the
window. I loOked at, the horrible
face; I could -. see nothing of John
Anerson there—but the face I had
seen in the court-room( was Sufficient
to connect the twc, and I knew that
was all that was left on earth of 'him
whom I had loted so
And this was the last of the de
mon's work, the last act in the dra
ma!' Ah! froni the first sparkle of
the red wine, it had I been down—
, down— down, until tlie foot of the
hill had° been finally reached.'
And when 1 . turned away froni
that -cell, and once` 'more Walked'
amid the flashing saloOns and-revel
hells, I wished that my voice had

THE RAILROAD COMPANY AND THE

Into the question 140 abundantly
discussed of late in the pia:ilk prints
and periodical; and now even in po
litical caucuses and conventions, con
cerning the initrial rights and obli
gations of the railroad companies and
the public, I shall not enter. Yet ii
may contribute something to a bet
ter understanding; and - so indirectly
to a solution of that problem, to have
a clear idea oi l 'what a railroad cor
poration is, what are , the hazards,
what the toils, what the duties, diffi
culties and dangers of those who are
connected with, and who 'have done
most to create, develop and-carry on
these great highways of, the present
century, the arteries', which supply
the whele body-politic with its vital
circulation—trad.e and commerce.

BOOT'S AHD SHOES.
_ The,'ehoiceof boots and shoes is
one al the most aifficult tasks in do
mestic economy. I FrOm want of,

and,many a life Ipst„ not to mention
the 'discomfort coniieqttent ,on corns:
The foot in ite natural state is a '
woriderfully-eontiiied arch, the bases '
Of Which are, the heels and the joints
of the; toes with the fOot. , ,On the '"
summit of this arch is placed the
whole weight of ,the body, and ;
be
neath it is a strong sinew-attached ,
to he 1 and toe, which prevents the
arch rom becoming
. flat - when the
pressure from above is exerted, as in_
walking, standing,',ete. on the outer
side, the bones shelve down so as to
give greater support, and on 'the in
ner side Is placed the great toe, the ,
prime lever in our' progressive move
ments; The, foot in , this form is sel
dom seen except in those , who do not
wear shoes or boots, or in those, who
exerciee their judgment in the selec
tion. 1 ~1 • `
Al - any, nations have found it con- •
Venient to go without any covering ,
or preiteption for the feet, but others,
as the, Arabs,
,wear sandals to protect
the eole,irom,the heat and sand; and
the Indian wears, his 'moccasin, both
for warmth and as a r : protection from.
_the brambles of his native woods.
Europeans and the more highly .eivi?l',„
lized peoples of t the globe have long ,
' since (lest sight of comfort and Pro

propOrtion to the ole, to compensate

be destroyed. This heel should not
be put to shoes at all. The uppers .
should be of, soft leather a io that eve

without impediment; and, lastly, the
