Stranger! it's very eold to night,
And I've no place to go
No place to lay my weary head,
To shield me from the snow.
There are hundreds pass me on the street,
I ask them where to go ;
And then they ruthlessly pass by
And leave ue in the snow.
Oh, stranger, do not pass me by,
And leave me on the street,
With nothing for mj covering
Except the hail and sleet.
I had as good a home, perhaps,
As any one you'll find,
But father died when I was young
Then mother lout her mind.
They sent her to the almshouse,
To pine sway and die.
And the !s looking down on me
Froni yonder starless sky.
And ber heart must be sad to see
Me wandering to and fro,
And asking every one I meet
To tell lue where to go.
But, hark ! those chilling blasts of wind,
As they go passing by,
Appear to sing a requiem,
"That I must surely die !"
The stranger's gone ! Too late for help,
I'll mike the snow my bed,
And all the passers-by will hear
The winds sigh, "She is dead !"

10 HE PITIED t
BT A X0T1IER.
I am perfectly wtll aware that very
many of my friends pity me. Not all of
them are candid enough to tell this in so
many words; gome how it in their looks,
others act it out, but a few take me by
hand and eay, "My dear sister, I am
downright sorry for you."
It has been a curiom, aud I confess a
somewhat amusing' study to me to ob
serve that these good people pity me
not because they see the trials that I
feel, but because, imngiuiug themselves,
vdnepd iii the nredirarient of Laving so
, , - 0 -
many children, the rlifticullies seem ap-!
palling. - They don't stop to think that
the evil (its they look st ;t) has come on i
very gradually at intervals of a year or:
two, aud that by now I have had time j
to get used to it, and that all my former
ambition o have elegant dresses and to;
be a stylish housekeeper is laid away for
a season.
Mrs. Kcepcuistmight says : 4-If yon
would only manage your children better
yon would not Lave half ihe trouble
with them that you do now. When a
child knows enough to cry, it kuows
enough to learu something " Every
body knows a child that aiu't a fool
cries when it is born, and theu's the time
to commei.ee to edicate them, I say. If
you had brought your childtcn np as I
did, I hey never would a cried after the
lirst week or two, and after they had
been waslud ai:d polished and dressed
the first thing in the morning, there'd be
no more trouble wi:h 'em than the chairs
aud tables."
I am conscious that I look at her in a
dreamy sort of a way, as I hug my baby
tighter in my arms, for I am thinking of
three little graves side by side in the
cold church yard, and of the small mar
ble sacred to their memory, and thnt
this is all that is left of the theory of
Mrs. Keepemstraight.
Mrs. Allchapel don't see how it is that
I cau consent to be absent from the
sanctuary so much. "Ju3t think of
it," she says, "sometimes you don't hear
a gospel sermon for six or eight consecu
tive Sabbaths, and that pretty lavender
hat you had last summer you didn't
wear to meeting three times, and all be
cause you have so mauy children. I
should think you would feel as though
you could not have it eo
Mrs. Evcrshine often comes in to see
me, because she t-ays it docs her good,
and makes me more contented to see how
cheerful I am under adversity(by this
last word she means my children, I sup
pose), but she always acts as though I
allowed my darlings to make a dining
table of the parlor sofa. She glances at
the chairs, and turns np her velvet cloak
aud sits on the veriest cornner, bolt up
right. She told a neighbor of mine that
my house looked neat always, but then
how conld it be clean with so many chil
dren ?
Mrs. Do-it Brown, one of your thor
oughly neat, childrenless. white aproned
women, who devotes all the energies of
her capacious mind to keeping her house,
herself, her husband, and mother-in-law
neat and clean never by any chance de
viating from this object in life thinks
when she remembers me ; If I had to
have those children, if I had to have the
doors left open on me every few minutes,
and the dust and dirt blown in from " the
street on my brocatel furniture, and bad
to have mud on uiy kitchen floor and
wet feet on my sitting-room lounge, and
the chair staves marked, and my door
knobs greased, and my window panes
fingered, and the table cloths knife-cut,
and the china broken, and my glasses
cracked, and the nap worn on my far
pets, I shonld go out of mjr mind or die.
I know she .fcels in this way, for not
long, sine, when sue, was fretting about
her troubles, having such inefficient help
and the vexation of changing servants
so often, and that it took unflinching
vigilance to keep everything just as clean
as it conld be, and I ventured to say,
"And if you had so many children as I
have!" she turned and looked at me
with a peculiar expression of pity and
scorn, and said, "I should go out of my
mind or die !"
Well bet-1 am to be pitied t Li t us
see. These people are lonesome, weary
of themselves, filled with ennui. Now
I have no chance to be lonely, very little
time to think about myself, and as to
ennui, why the thing is absurd I only
know it by name aud hearsay. . These
people icel that they can depend abso-a
lutely on no one's friendship, while I
know that I aud my children love otie
auoiher.. What sort of an old age do
they anticipate I Their own friends dead,
will the young world of strangers care
for them ? In whose family will they find
a home 1 While I know that if I bring
my children np in the precept of the
Bible, which teaches them to respect
old age and honor their parents. I shall
have a comfortable and happy home with
my own children. - Yes, aud I am happy
now, happy in making them comfortable
and happy in teaching them to be truth
ful and noble, and never a day passes but
something funny the baby does, or some
thing queer the children say, m ikes me
laugh heartly.
Then don't pity me, friends. Tity the
heathen pity the poor homeless, moth
erless ones pity the children of the
burnt prairie, and of Chicago. Ah! and
pray for thtin, and help them too it
will do you good But don't waste your
pity on me, for I need it not. II toth

A COW-ARDLY SENSATION.
A cow was the cause of a most re
markable devastation a few nights since,
Brpakiug itilo the yard of Mr. Lambert's
dwelling, and putting her head into an
emjrty barrel in an exploring tour for any
contents it might have, she was unable to
cxtricateherbtlf, aud soon became thor
oughly frighteued, and began to rush
wildly around. In this condition she
forced her way iuti the woodshed, and
thence into the dining room of the house,
becoming all the while the more furious.
From this room she made her way into
the parlor, throwing down and trampling
under foot everything that came in her
way. Mrs. Lambert aroused her hus
baud, who arose, and went for help. The
cow next rushed into the bedroom where
Mrs. Lambert, with a little baby and one
child occupied a bed, while nnother little
child was in a crib in front of it. The
enraged animal mounted the bed, but
help arrived, and not an instant too soon.
The window was raised from the outside,
and Mr. McKeuzic attempted to enter,
when the barrel gave him a blow which
knocked him back against the fence. The
children were at last secured and passed
through the window and Mrs. Lambert
soon followed. The door of the bed
room was then closed, and the cow left to
herself. At length she became quiet;
the doors were opened and the walked
out. The furniture, which was very nice,
is fearfully demoralized The plastering
is knocked from the walls and the panels
of the doors broken out. Detroit Tri

such occasions. While he was passing
out the daughter left the seat to speak
to a friend and at the same time, a prim
looking lady who oecnpied the seat with
her, moved up to the window. Unaware
of the important changes inside, onr ven
erable friend hastily pnt his face np to
the window and hurriedly exclaimed,
"One more kiss, sweet pet.' In another

LIGHT AT LAST.
The Bowlsby Mystery Solved -The Mys
terions Yeunir Woman at the Hudson
River Railroad Depot. ... .
The World has this story :
The sad fate of Miss Alice Angusta
Bowlaby, of Patterson N. J., will hardly
be forgotten for years to come. It will
be remembered that on Saturday, Aug
ust 2Gth, au illiterate Irish carman nam
ed Pickett was asked by a woman to
take a trunk from a house to the Hud
son River railroad denot for her. She
told the carman her name was J nlia
Snyder, and that he should go to the j
house, j37 Sccoud avenue, and ring the i
basement bell, get the trunk aud take it ,
to the depot, where she would meet him. j
The niau did. lie went there, and from
a man whom he subsequently identified as j
Jacob Rosenzweig, alias Aseher, received i
a common, small sized trunk. This he j
took to the railway depot, met the wo
man there ; she seemed afraid of the
trunk breaking. Lad a strap put on it,
bought a ticket for Chicago, aud left
The carman did the same. The tiunk
was placed ou the baggage platform of
the depot, where, from a repulsive odor
exuding from it, it attracted the atten
tion of the raihead officials, and was
burst open. In it was fouud the body of
Miss Bowlsby, uude aud dead, crushed
in a space so small that the accomplish
ment of the fiendish act would seem an
impossibility, were it not for the fact of
its having beeu doue.
WHO WAS THE WOMAN ?
When the police searched Rosenzweijr's
! house on Wednesday, the 30th of Aug-
ust, they fouud a quantity of letters,
i nresciiutions aud other documents.
Among them was the draft of an affida
vit to be made by Rosenzweig, to the
effect that one James Miller, suffering
from lung disease, by his advice had left
the city for the South to recruit his
health. Ou the back of this, in a scrawl
ing, feeble band, was written :
''Agnetta Dumoyn
"East Henrietta Monroe county
' State of New York
this is my birth place where I was born
where once I was happy and free, but
now I am doomed to roam in sorrow aiul
j Anger.''
j The wiiter of this, AgnetU Dumoyn,
i U the woman, or rather the girl, who
I had the trunk containing Miss liowlsby's
j body brought to the Huisou River depot
by the carman I ickctt.
Agnetta Dumoyn is nearly 20 years
I of age, but looks younger,
She is an orphan, both her parents,
; farming people, being dead. In the
' country her life was a quiet one and her
j reputation that of a good girl. But, like
Alice Bowlsby, she fell, aud her seducer
sent her to this city, where she went, as
as did Alice Bowlsby for the same pur
pose, to Jacob Rosenzweig. He was
then living at 105 First aveuue. Th,e
operation he there peformed ou her was
successful, and she did not die from its
effects. Thus began her acquaintance
with Rosenweig, which continued up to
his arrest.
ALICE BOWLSBY'S DEATH.
At 11:15 o'clock ou Wednesday, the
23d of August, Alice A. Bowlsby walk-
i ed into 3, Amity place, where, under the
j name of Aseher, Rosenzweig advertised
his terrible calling. There she bargained
with him for her death, and paid him S60
with the promise of $25 additional for
! murdering her. Rosenzweig brought her
' up town with him, and they elite ling the
I house, were seen by the girl Jane John
son. She died on Friday night. The
girl Agnetta Dumoyn slept in Rosenz-
weig's house that night.
SHE SUGGESTS THE TRUNK
The next morning Rosenzweig went
out early, and calling ou an undertaker,
named Boyle, asked if he could not bury
the body of his servant girl, who was
poor, iu the cheapest cemetery, without
a burial permit. Boyle said he could
not. Rosenzweig came home and told
Netta Dumoyn his situation. She said
in a moment, ' Ilave you an old truuk in
the place ? Rosenzweig replied, "Yes,
but what "of that?" She said, '-Why
can't you put it into it and send it
away J" It was done. But who should
carry it to the railroad ? Rosenzweig dare
not. She offered to do it for SI 00. She
got the money.
Jane Johnson, the servant girl, was
sent out to walk with the children, and
told she could stay out until evening.
The carman Pickett came, the trunk was
taken away, and all thought they were
eecure. So mnch so that when Netta
Dumoyn left the depot she returned to
Rosenzweig's house, supped with him
and his wife, and slept there that night.
The next day the newspapers blared the
dreadful discovery abroad, and with the
early morning she fled from justice.
WHBRB CAN HB BE?
It is impossible to tell. The ticket
for Chicago that she purchased, No. 1,
506, was traced to Albany, and it is
probable she went to Canada Detec
tive Ekill fails to discover her where
abouts. But wherever she may be, the
terrible recollection of crime will always
be with her presence, and render infinite
ly more miserable her wretched life.
WHAT THE CEDAR RAPIDS HI'S HAS D
POISI) IX HIS WIFE'S CLOSET
Cedar Rapids has had a jealous bus
band sensation. A rich resident of that
ambitious city, who has a pretty and
sweet young wife, has fr some time been
the victim of suspicions. He laid a plan
He aunonnced that he was going East to
stay at a water-cure for a month. And
be did go. But he came back on the
next train, reaching his home as it slum
bered in the peace of drowsy midnight.
If there was any thing wrong he knew he
had it by the ear The only light was in his
wife's bed room, lie lingered under the
window to hear the murmur of low
voices. He heard it. How his wrath
raged. With pistol iu one baud and
night key in the other, he bounded np
the steps, through the outer door Reach
ing the bed room door, it was locked.
Ilia wife had heard the footsteps, and In
terror wanted to know "who Was there ?'
He replied, he believed it washer hus
band. She would open the door in a
minute. This was the straw that made
the irate husband irater. With a heavy
and wrathful foot he banged against the
door, and the door yielded. The observer
tells the rest :
"This bombardment was greeted with
a shriek from his wife, aud the infuriated
husband rnshed in just iu time to see the
door of a closet closing. Now he had
him ! Now (and Le ground his teeth iu
ecstacy of rage) how he would rend the
destroyer of his domestic happiness.
His wife placed herself in front of the
closet d7or and entreated him not to open
it. This only added fuel to the flame of
jealousy that was raging like a volcano
with the "pent up Utica,,' of hia breast,
lie thrust her away and jerked open the
door and saw rn dishabille Miss -,
a neighbor lady friend, who had been in
vitcd to stay with her during his ab
sence .'

! times, but quite annoying when the ttn
! der feeling is accompanied by those petty
j drawbacks which are sure to follow pa
rential hostility. Suuh at least is the
' experience of one August Kleine, a
youth whose heart has softened and
whose brain has grown dizzy beneath the
smiles of a Camden belle. Somehow or

Now the lady couldn't juU off her coat,
neither could she unloose it. Her lover
had left her, her brother still screamed,
and she, like an ambitous dray horse,
still tugged at the obdurate post.
The old man was by this time heard

A desperate pull tore the dress loose at

wildly across the lot.
Somehow or other the lovers haven't

If any thing in the world will make a
man feel badly, except pinching his fin
gers in the crack of a door, it is unques
tionably a quarrel. No man ever fails to
think less of himself after it than before,
It degrades him in the eyes of othcrs.and,
what is worse, blunts his sensibilities on
the one hand, and incases the power of
passionate irritability on the other. The
truth is, the more peacefully aud quietly
we get on, the better for our neighbors.
In nine cases out of ten, the better course
is if a roan cheats yon, cease to deal with
him, if he is abusive, quit his company ;
aud if he slanders you, take care to live so
that nobody will believe him. No matter
who he is, or how he misuses you, the
wisest way is to let him alone; for there
is nothing better than this cool, calm, and
quiet way of dealing with the wrongs we
meet with.
