orous search, backed by the officers of
heavy rewards, v.n m tie in every direc
lion, but all to no purpose-

What excited his suspicions has new
hern ea'isfactotily explained, but he be
gan a careful surveillance of Webster's
movement, and at last come to the con
clusion that he was the murderer of
Patkman. The hospital had been thor
oughly searched by the officers, and
Webster's apartment?, as it wa thought,
clogely scrutinized, but without finding
any traces of the crime. Lit lit fi. Id be
ing pa'i.-tit il in his own mind that the
deed of death was done there- and no
where else, resolved to push the search
at a point hicli the officers had over
looked. Procuring the nncfssary implements,
and putting bis wife on watch to guard
atiaittst interruption, he went to woikone
night and broke a hole through the wall
of the vault which communicated with
the water closet iu llr. Webster's. labora
tory. He discovered there, mutilated
portions of a human body, and giving the
information to the authorities, Tebster
was immediately arrested. The apart
ments of the latter were now examined
by keener eyes, and with most astonish
ing results. Concealed in a tea box
were found other remains evidently be
longing to the same body and in the
furnace among the ashes were a number
of small fragments of bone, and a parti
ally melted gold plate which had once be
longed to a set of false teeth.
On the trial it was proved that Web
eter bad owed Packman money ; that
the statements be bad made in regard to
paying it were false, and that Parkman
had never been seen alive after going
into the hospital. This chain of circum
stantial evidence was riveted by the tes
timony, of Dr Keep, a dentist of Boston,
who swore positively that the gold plate
found in the furnace was made by him
for Dr. Parkman. Everything that
money and family influence could do to
save Webster was done, but notwith
standing all this, together with a strong
public sympathy in hie behalf, he was

Previous to bis execution he confessed
his guilt. lie said that Parkman had
callud on him, demanded his money,
and when be could not get it used some
insulting epithet which roused Webster,
and that in a moment of wild passion he
struck him on the Lead with a piece of
grape vine, causing iustant death. Not
daring to acknowledge the terrible act
and take the consequences, he Ladsonght
to dispose of the body in the manner al
ready described.

To the question often asked young
men as to why th-y do not marry, we
sometimes hear the reply, "I am not
able to support a wife." In one case
in three perhaps this may be so ; but. as
a general thing, the true reply would be,
"I am not able to support the style iu
which I think my wife ought to live."
In this again we see a false view of
marriage a looking to an appearance in
the world, instead of a union with a lov
ivz woman for her own sake. There are
very few men of industrious habits, who
cannot maintain a wife, if they are will
ing to live economically, and without
reference to the opinion of the world.
The gn at evil is, they are not content
to begin life humbly, to retire together

Saturday evening, John D. Banghart, a
Jersev City lawyer, was introduced to
-Mrs. Caroline Marsh, of New York, said
to be possessed of 8200,000. The writer
says she is thirty-five and radiant in her
widow's weeds, "and looks really well
for one who has grieved at the grave of
two husbands." They spent Sunday in
promenading and carriage riding, on
Monday weut bathing together, and on
Monday evening were married by Rev.
Dr. James B. Wilson.
Princeton, III . has a sensation in thu
elopement of a rich farmer's daughter,
named Coddington, with a poor Swede
carpenter, named Peter Ostrom. Peter
had been engaged to put up a building
for Mr. Coddington, when he became ac
quainted with Belle. The acquaintance
soon ripened into a spell of "killing
love," and Peter asked the parental
blessing upon their proposed marriage.
The old gentlernau declined, and forbade
any further demonstrations. Peter there
upon armod himself with the necessary
papers, and in the quiet hours of the
night he stole his charmer away and
married her.

As soon as the leaf is on the willow

and schools, his turn for pilfering, his
rooted timidity and cunning, and bis ad
dictedness to divination and black arts,
arc all antique legacies from Asiatic
source. The Danes cell the wanderers
"Tartars," the Germans "ilelden" or
heathen, the French ' Bohemians" and
their own word "Komany-' is corrupted

seen the first cousins of the Kuropeau

i aud the roving people nf Beioochistian,
and al the mouth ol the Indus, is perfect
ly surprising
There exists, indeed, an old legend
j that the ancestors of this singalar race
were the inhabitants of a villaze
a village in
Egypt, to which Joseph and Mary came
in their fli 'lit with the child. The fu2i
lives were refused admission to ils hos

beard from the sky, civing: "Those
who shut love out shall be shut out from

wandering, with careless ill treatment
from all men, full upou the offenders and
their posterity
The stry is pretty, but
it is not true. In those dark skinned

Meantime, it is a pity to be too hard on

will die out soon enough when the heath

was very fond of. The man had occi
sion to go on a journey, and took with,
him money and jewels, and his chum,
the monkey. So.ne roguos determined
to rob him of everything ho had ; ac
cordingly they lay iu wait for him' and
murdered him. Having secured the
money and jewels, they threw the mur
deied man into a dry well, aud haviug
covered it up with twigs and dry leaves,
they went home. The monkey who
was on the top of a tree, saw the whole
of the proceedings, and when the mur
derers departed, he came down and made
tracks for the Tahsildar's bouse, and by
his ct ics and moans attracted the atten
tion of that functionary. Inviting the
Tahsildar, by dumb signs, to follow him,
the monkey went to the well, and point
ed downwards. The Tahsildar thereup
on got men to go down, and of course
tho body was discovered. The monkey
then led the meu to the place where the
jewels and money were buried. He then
took them to the bazaars, and as soon as
he caught sight of one of the murderers
he ran after him, bit him in the leg, and
would not let him go tid he was secured.
In this way all the murderers were
caught. The men it is said, have con
fessed their crime, aud they now stand
committed (or trial before the Tellicherry
court at the ensuing eession. That mon
key, we tbiuk. ought to be made an in

are eggs to-day I ' he asked of the clerk,
who was one of those over smart fellows,
by the way. "Eggs are eggs to-day,
Paddy," replied the clerk, looking quite
triumphaut upon two or three young lady
customers who happened to be in the
store. "Faith. I'm glad to hear yeez say
so," replied Paddy, "for the last ones I
got here were chickens." Good for

Probably all of our little boys and
girls have read about the great herds of
wild horses that are to found in the
south-westeru parts cf the United States,
in Mexico, and South, .America ; aud we
presume most of them think that the
horse is a native of our continent; like
the grizzly bear and the bufT.tlo. J5ul
iu this they are mistaken. The first
horse ever seen on the Ameiican conti
nent were those brought by the Spanish
general Hernando Cortez, when he Lad
come t.i conquer Mexico for the .wp.in;ali
crowu.

which wo talked to you lately), they had
never seen or beard of a horse, and
thought that the mounted soldiers of
Cortez were a sort of fighting demons,
against whom it was useless for mere
mortals to contend. This terror made
them an easy prey to the cruel Spauiards,
who soon reduced them to slavery ; and
by and by when it was too late the
poor Aztecs discovered that the Span-
iards wcro human as well as they ; aud
great was their astonishment when they
found, as they soon iiid, that they them
selves could mount and control these
fleet and wonderful animals.
But although horses wero not native
to our soil and climate, they seemed to
find the rich grasses of our Southern
plains quite to their liking, and it was
not long before they had multiplied
faster than men could find use for them,
aud so liitle colts were left to grow wild
aud shift for themselves, wdiicb it was
i n(,t difficult for them to do iu a warm
climate, with plenty of good pasture all
about them. Now there are great herds,
of fiery wjld hotscs roaming i.boul at

One day a young mm entered a mer
chant's office iu Boston, and with a pale
aud care-worn face said :
"Sir, I am in need of help. I have
been unable to meet certain payments,
because certain parties have not done
as they agreed to by me, and I would
like to have SI, 000. I came to you be
cause you were a friend to my father,
und might be a friend to me."
Come in." said the old mercbaut,
"come in and have a glass of wine,"
"No," said the young man, "I don't
drink."
"Have a cigar then V
"No, I never smoke."
"Well," said the old gentleman, ' I
would like to accommodate you, but I
don't think I can."
"Very well," said the young man as
he was about to leave the room, "I
thought perhaps you might. Good day
sir."
"Hold on," said the merchant, "you
don't drink V
"No."
"Nor smoke
"No."
"Nor gamble, nor anything of that
kind V
"No, sir, I am superintendent of the
Suuday school."
"Well," said the merchant, "yon shall

you wish. Your father let me have

A case recently tried before tho Clom

both of whom claimed pusscssiou of a ru

lease, and the other uudcr a will. They
were in court for the pUrpo?o cf giving
their testimony, when a bright idea oc

Toward the middle of Jie Uth century
a poor Arab was travelling in Ahyssin
nia, and finding himself weak and weary
from frttgue be stopped near a grove.
Being in want of fuel, he cut down a
tree which happened to be covered with
dried berries. His meal beiug cooked
and eaten, the traveler discovered that
these half burned beniej were fragrant.
He collected a number of these, and on
their aroma increased to a great extent"
While wondering at this, he accidently
let fall the substance into a can which
contained his scanty supply of water.
Lo, what a miracle ? The almost putrid
liquor was iustantly purified ; be brought
it to his lijis, it was fresh aud agreeable,
and in a moment after the traveler had
so far recvertd his strength and energy
as to be able to resume his journey. The
lu: ky Arab gathered as many berries as
he conM, and having arrived at Adeu,
in Arabia, h:i informed the Mufti of bis
discovery. That worthy dive was an
inveterate opium smoker, who ha-1 been
suffering for years from the influence of
that poisonous drug. Ho tried an infu
sion of roasted berries and was so de
lighted at the recovery of his former-vigor,
that in gratitude to the tree he called
it canuah, w hich in Arab signifies force.
A nd this is the manner in which coffca
was discovered.
