Cousin. Jack was going away, the general. mischief maker. torment and and lease of the whole family, end Mr. Chester, sitting , by The distant window, wiped' his. spectacles over five minutes and declared, that the type of the even• iog paper was a terrible trial to his old "Ah, you may laugh, girls," said Jack, applying himself vigorously to the refrac tory lock of a portmanteau. 'Perhaps .von may one day discover that it isn't such a laughing matter Think of the loss the family is going to sustain in, my exeellericy." "But you'll come back soon, .Tack,dear" coaxed' Minnie Chester, the 'prettiest and most roguish of all- the - cousins, and one who kept up -a perfect fire of practical -jokes and girlish tricks at his expense. There - she sat 'on the biggest trunk of the collection, her brosin, curls hanging about her round• face, and her eyes spar kled with a curious mixture of fun and tears. "I'm not at certain of that,. , Miss Minnie, said Jack decipively. If I sue deed in finding a locality to snit me, I shall :decide to y settle: permanently at Thornville and (turn" land proprietor on my own account.".

I won't be very long abOut it, 'and then we will have a nice long evening to gossip over Jack's pros- Whew Mr, Chester mat in his cosy, red curtained library, revising the letter that he had been wAting to his old friend Jab ea Thorne, Of.

Olive Chester brushed out the heavy braids of her luxurian:t hair before the dressing mirror of her own, apartment, two hours later, when Minnie ran in with exiotitenailcs comically divided-betwees dismey and delight "My dear Minnie, what has happened?". exclaimed the elder sister, dropping her hair brush and letting t all the raven treas. ea ripple down unheeded over ,her shoul ders;,l "I've won the'diamond sleeve buttons, Olive ! but oh l I didn't mean to. What would papa aay if he Mily knew Jack, too ?" - ' "Sit down, you •wild little elf," said Olive gently, forcing her sister into a chair, "and explain this mysterious rid- - die." - - • "Well, you know ripe, left me to look over a letter to Mr. Thorne—and he .was detained longer than_ he expected,..alinoet an !hour in fact---and I couldn't help Miusing myself by writing a parody on the letter." ' • "A parody ?" - "Yes—you remember somebody telling us what a beautiful daughter Mr. Thorne had—so I wrote that Jack was in search' of a wife, and had heard of Miss Thorne, and wanted to settle in life, and all that sort of thing. 'ln short, wherever papa has written land or estate, 'I wrote wife I Wasn't it fun?" ejacuated the little mai 'den, her eyes dancing with delight. t'But yonknow I never once thought of send-, Ing the leiter • I only wanted to read it tO Jaak when I. went own stairs. Well, I signed it with a great flourish of trum pets, and just then who should come in but papa and the stranger. Of course I fled—and when I came back the. letter -was sealed and safe in Jack's pocket book, and, Olive, it was the wrong letter." "It \ was rather a din' light, and papa's eyes are not us keen as they were won't to be and my impertinet missive was gone while the real bonafide lay there amongst a heap -bf old discarded papers Arid I hadn't courage 'to confess. my misderne nor„pana is so ,opposed to my innocent little jokes—and. Jack is off with that indescribable letter I shall' certainly win the sleeve buttons 'Olive but what a tornado there will be when my Mischief leaks out."

We have arrived at a stage When a portlen of our superabundance of such char• actors can molly be put to more profitable uses; though we should by no means personally ob. , feet to the employment of the more able bodied criminals in that way, especially in the coal mines. Instead of manufacturing for such needful service a degraded and largely criminal class= s process which aril , one can see in operation by visiting a coaktacker among the Perinsyl yanhV mountains, where swarms of ilthred , children spend their days at bard labor under the most debasing influences—it would be in finitely better to have the work &Coe by ready made criminals, drafted from the country at large. It wOull be a saving of virtue, and pos. sibly in ; the cost of coals. But there are stiU better uses- to which the majority of criminals Can be put. Among the moat important problems of civi lization are those relating to health and.disease Of i very few human maladies can it be said that we ;know . their . causes, their natural history; theirsifects upon the physical and mental or ganism, or a satisfactory mode of treating them Aa little do we know 'how •to prevent or avoid them. Yet of what vital importance is such knowledge to the, well being of society The limited positive knowledge which Science has acquired of the ills which flesh is belt to has been gained through observation complicated by a thowiand unknown conditions through experiments.upon nuotTending animals •and' by dissection of dead. During the middle ages, the last mentioned source ot -knowledgi) was tarred. Every scholar knows what sudden and im- Meuse - advances men made in anatomy and physiology, and in the healingiarts which rest 'on them, when students began to , draw their knowledge of man'e_ physiCal frame directly from human - subjechi, acid nos indirectly and incorrectly from the study of animals. A sim ilar advance might he expected in preventatiie and curative Medicines could the action of di sease be directly studied in human subjects ov er which the obcerver should have absolute control. • Our suggestion would therefore be that such a portion of criminals convicted from day to day, as might 'be found available, should bo turned over to boards of surgeons and phyla clans, duly appointed, znder whom they might be used for the: invtatigation of sanitary, prob lems, for the goal bf humanity, For example,men convicted of capital crimes instead of being 'uselessly hanged, might be employed In the study of . diseases usually fatal or of other diseases \ whose effects In their vari ous stages would need to be studied anatomi cally. Especially atrocious murderers might be reserved. for cases involving vivsec tiou. Criminals of lower grades could be utilized.,, in the study of diseases of minor verity. ac cording to their physical adaptation and the: nature of their crime. Having their subjects 43nder absolute control from tie inception of a disease to its termination, the investigator could not fail In time to arrive at certain knowledge both as to its prevention and mid -Odor!, it not its cure. Medicine is full of prob lems whose solution might be greatly hastened by such•means. The same may be said of other departments of social science. How far, for example, is the criminal diathesis eurable,and under what con- . ditions What is the comparative influence of the different sorts, of mental and moral training Y. Ho* can the taint of hereditary ' crime be averted ? Hew are the various grades - of criminality affected by surgical operations, especially those calculated to make the perpet undo& of hereditary crime Impossible ? And how far may the subjectsof such treatment be 'safely allowed at large ? But the field of investigation is limitless.—_ The possible advantages of its systematic pros eCution are correspondingly great. The right of society to defend itself against its internal enemies, even to the taking of Jife, is , unques tioned. To attempt it by means of punish ment has proved unavailing and costly. It is time that a different plan be tried. Buppose we sink the idea of retributionif need be, of reftnnation also—and .seek to make all hu man vermin first harmless then milli, either by their productive labor or by their subjective contributions to human knowledge for the pro. tection of health and the saving of life. As for its deterrent eftect, such a passionless, nnvindictive business-like treatment of all•vie laters of the 'commonwealth, - certainly could not be less efficient than the jumble of uncer tainty; vengeanct softness, retribition, senti mentality, and uselessness which constitutes our present judicial and correctional systems. We ire disposed to thmk that the possibility of being made a' subject for the study of small poi; cholera. tyyhold fever, or even a body at measels . or .the , mumps, would restrain a pick pocket or a burglar quid+ as efficiently as the chaUce of a few- weeks on the Island, or a few .runntlis at Sing Bing. At least the knowledge gained by means of him and others like him Would go far to recompense society for all L. might suffer frlin his depredations.' • WAITDIG FOR A CAVE.
