When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed, And the little ones gather around me To bid me good-night and be kissed : Oh, the little white arms that encircle My neck in a tender embrace! Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven, Shedding sunshine of love on my face ! And when they are gone I sit dreaming Of my childhood too lovely to last; Oflove that my heart will remember, When it wakes to the pulse of the past, Ere the world and its wickedness made me A partner of sorrow and sin, When the glory of God was about me, And the glory of gladness within. Oh, my heart grows as weak as a woman', And the fountains of feeling will flow, When I think of the paths, steep and stony. Where the feet of the dear ones must go ; Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er them; Of the tempest of fate blowing wild ; Oh ! there's nothing on earth half so holy As the innocent heart of a child ! They arc idids of hearts and of households , They axe angels of God in disguise ; And his sunlight still sleeps in their tresses, And his glory still gleams in their eyes. Oh ! those truants from home and from heaven, They have made me more manly and mild! And I know how our Saviour could liken The kingdom of God to a child. I ask not life for the dear ones, All radiant, as others have done, I5ut that life may have just enough shadow To temper the glare of the sun ; I would pray God to guard them from evil, Put nir praver would bound back to mvself; Ah ! a seraph nny pray for a sinner, Rut a sinner must pray for himself. The twig is so easily bended, I have banished the rule and the rod ; I have taught them the goodness of knowledge, They have taught me the goodness of God . My heart is a dungeon of darkness, Where I shut them from breaking a rule; My frown is sufficient correction ; My love is the law of the school. I shall leave the old house in the autumn, To traverse the threshold no more; Ah ! how shall I sigh for the dear ones, That meet me each morn at the door ; I shall miss the "good nights" and the kisses, And the gush of iheir innocent glee, The gromp on the green, and the flowers That are brought every morning to me. I shall miss them at morn and at evening,- Their song in the school and the street ; I f-hall miss the low hum of their voices, And the tap of their delicate feet, When the lesson and tasks are all ended, And death says "the school i dismissed !" May the little ones gather around me, To bid me good-night and be kissed! THE LITTLE LADY. I was stopping at the Hotel Windsor, at Rue de Ilivoli, Paris. One morning I was smoking in the colonnade, when a tall, elegantly-dressed gen'leu-ao asked permission to light his cigar by tnioe. I saw at ooce that he was a Frenchman, although his "Eng lish" wa nearly perfect. ' Have jou heard the news he in quired. Xo." 4 Is it possible ! NVhj. all Paris is alive with it at this moment." 'What has happened J" 'The Countess de Marville, the fairest of the fair, was found murdered in her bed last night, her bureau broken open and 10.000 francs missing from it. It was terrible ! The brute who did the deed effected his entrance through the window of her chamber, near which, un fortunately, was a tall tree planted by tlie distiDguihed grandfather of the Oeun tess years ago Little did he imagine what a terrible use would be made of it." This i bad newj. II ow any man could harm a woman thus in cold blood is more than I can imagine." "Ah, Monsieur, if you had ever seen the Countess you would wonder still more. She was beautiful beautiful as an angel," he added, striking his whiskers with ao unmistakable air of vanity; "I knew her well." Indeed." ' Oh. yes. There are in Paris few po pular woiiin unknown to mc. Hits manner now was decidedly con ceited, and I felt disgusted. My cold ness evidently repelled him, for he sood left me. Afterward I heard other accounts of the late tragedy. Among the details of the affair was one whieh peculiarly impressed me and which my firt iofonoaut had not spoken of an oversight whieh surprised me, as the occurrence he had not mentioned was of that kind which would be most apt to ftiike the fancy. Upon the throat of the Countess, the murderer, in throttling her, had left a mark from a ring he wore the impres sion o( a chariot wheel with a star in the center. This," said my latest informant; "may lead to the discovery of the murderer Jean Moi-queau i already visiting the jewelers' shop to fiud out from whieh and by whom a ring with a chariot wheel device was purchased. " "Who is Jcaik Mosqueau V "What, Mosqueau, our famou detec tive ? Although his counge is well known, yoa would not, to look at bis fair, delicate face and form, believe that he could fight a gnat !" A week later I was aboard the steamer, bound from Calais to Dover. Among the passengers I beheld one whose face looked familiar to me. I was not long in recognizing this person as the same I had seen in front of the Hotel Windsor, and who had first informed me of the murder of the Countess. He was certainly a very handsome man, although his conceited air was a blot upon his good looks. He moved languidly hither and thither, turning his brown eyes admiringly upon the pretty lady passengers, while strok ing his whiskers with one white hand, upon the middle finger of which was a superb diamond ring. I am rather of a suspicious nature, which, combined with a lively imagina tion, had often led me into singular er rors. Now, a strange impulse moved me to advance and hold out ray hand to the man whom I had involuntarily disliked from the first, in crder that I might have a chance to glance at his ring. Some how the idea possessed me thut I should discover a chariot-wheel device upon the glittering bauble. The stranger did not at first recognize me. He soon did, however, and frankly extended his left hand, which was not the one containing the ring. My brain fairly replied ; the man's be havior was a confirmation of my suspi cions. "The other hand, if you please," I said, in a low, stern voice. "Monsieur, will you please excuse me j my other hand is lame with the rehuma tism." He beheld me glance toward the half hidden ring, and I was sure I saw him start and turn pale, at the same time look ing much surprised. He, however, open ed bis right hand, as if perfectly willing for me to shake it if I chose to. Then I had a good look at the ring, and felt ashamed of my suspicious. The device was a common heart, which cer tainly bore no resemblance to a chariot wheel. After a general conversation to recover my self-possession, I turned away, resolv ing iu the future to have a better opinion of my fellow creatures. The stranger's good looks seemed to at tract the attention of a good many of the ladies. One especially, a modest looking little thing, attired in black, kept direct ing furtive glances at the handsome pas seuger. Finally she glided so close to him that in her. turning he brushed against An apology, smilingly received by the little lady, a remark about the weather on the part of the gentleman, and the two were soon conversing with animation. Meanwhile the blushing cheek and bright eyes of the fair one seemed to betoken that she was well pleased with her com panion, whose air was more conceited than ever. "I am afraid we shall have a storm," she remarked, pointing toward a dark cloud upon which the captain of the boat was gazing anxiously. "We may, but do not be alarmed, mad ame." 'With an air of nonchalance he pulled a red cigar-case from his pocket and ask ed his companion if she objected to a smoke. Then he started, and quickly returning the red one to his pocket, pull ed forth another of a blue color. "How many cigars do you smoke a day ?" inquired the lady, evidently amus ed at the sight of two cases. The other colored, and it struck me that his voice slightly faltered and his hand trembled, as he made some laugh ing reply. Soou the storm came pouncing down upon us. We were midway in the chan nel, so that we caught the full force of the sea and gale lioth were terrific. The sea swept the boat, which lay so far over that her machinery was ssooii damaged so thai it would not work. The wind, screaming like a demon, threw her over still further. . Suddenly we observed the tailors en deavoring to loosen a long boat on the davits at the stern. Meanwhile, there wan an ominous grinding, smashing noise under the counter. The truth could not be concealed ; we were sinking. The ladies screamed, the handsome pas senger lost his self possession, ane ran higher and thither. The cool beheavior of the little lady in black contrasted strangely with the agi tated demeanor of those around her. There she stood calm and immovable, her bright steel blue eyes fixed upon the handsome stranger, of whom she did not lose sight for a moment. "Keep quiet ladies and gentlemen !" rang out the Captain "Keep quiet, nod don't crowd around the boat 60 ! There will be room in it for you all, and besides there is a schooner coming (o our assist ance," pointing to vessel bowling to wards us before the wind. There was, however, a panic among those addressed. The moment the boat was lowered, ioto it they all bundled, among them the handsome passenger. A huge sea coming along, roaring like thunder, parted the tackles, tearing the boat from the steamer before the lady in black or I could enter it. The handsome pusscn-ifr, losing his blance, fell over th gunwale, and I eing unable to swim, wild ly threw up his arnn. I must scqoowlede that I was bo en grossed with the perilous situation of my fair companion and myself now the on Iy two left aboard the steamer that I paid little attention to the drowning man. The steamer was, iu fact, going down fast, was already nearly engulfed in the stormy waves, her heated and half sub merged bpilcrs hissing as the steam came guishiug out like the spout of a whale. I was advancing to throw an arm arounJ the little lady, fearing to sec her washed away, when, quietly motioning me back with one hand, she seized a coil of rope and threw the end to the hand some passenger. He caught it, when, turning to me, the lady requested me to help haul the man aboard. I complied, marveling at the love and devotion thus shown by a woman to an acquaintance of an hour. His power over the female sex must be great, I thought. He is conceited, but not without reason. The idea flashed clearly across my mind in spite of my danger. The schooner, however, was very near, and I had every reason to believe that we should be picked up. I was right. NVe were all taken aboard the schooner, the handsome pas senger among the rest. Then the lady in black pulled forth a revolver, pointing it at the head of him whom she had re scued. "Out with that red cigar case !' she said, sternly. "I would like to see what Monsieur carries in it." "Why why," stammered the stranger; "what is " Before he could say another word, the little Amazon thrust her disengaged hand in his pocket, pulled forth the red cigar case, and opening it, a ring dropped to the deck. The ring she picked up, and holding it up before us all, exclaimed. "I have it at last. The jeweler as sured me it was the only one of the de vice in Paris a chariot wheel ! This person is the murderer of the Countes de Marville !" The handsome passenger stood as if frozen to the deck, making no resistance as the lady in black slipped a pair ot handcuffs over his wrists. "By what right," he then stammered, "do you " He paused as the other threw off her dress and false hair, revealing the person of a slender man with delicate girlish fea tures. 'I am Jean Mosqueau, the detective!" he quietly remarked, "and I robbed the sea of this man that the scaffold might not be cheated." There is little more to add. The main proof having bceu obtained, other proofs on the prisoner's trial were brought forth, showing him guilty beyond doubt. Loog before his execution his name was ascertained to be Louis Rosseoeau, a noted adveuturer and gambler, who, how ever, by cool effrontery and a winning address, backed by his good looks, had been enabled to move among the first cir cles of Parisian society. A Big Blow. Last evening, while the chief engineer of a lung tester was expatiating upon the benefits to be derived from the free use of his instrument, a cadaverous individual stepped out of the crowd and remarked to him : "Mister, do you think it would help me any to blow into that can 7" "Yes, sir ; certainly ; it would expand your chest, give elasticity to your lungs, and lengthen your life. Why, you'd soon be able to blow 500 pounds and win the 55 prize." "Why, does a fellow get 5 when he blows that many pounds?" "Yes, sir; wouldn't you like to make a trial 7" with a knowing wink to the crowd. "1 don't care if I do," . said Greens, walking around and planking down a dime of the greasy thinplaster sort. Then taking the mouth piece in his baud, he made ready. He opened his mouth until the hole in his face' looked like a dry dock for ocean steamers, and began to take in wind. The inflation was like that of the Graphic balloon, I u not so disastrous. That fellow's chest began to grow and distend until he re scmbled a pouter pigeon more than a man, at which point he put the mouth piece to bis lips and blew with such force that his eyes came out aud stood around on his cheek bones to see what was the mat ter but that can top went up like a flash, and the needle of the indicator spun around like the button on a country school house door, until it stood still at 500 pounds I The crowd cheered, and the keeper of the can paid over the $5 in stamps, with a matter of astonishment But Greens pocketed them coolly, and turning to the spectators, said : "Look here, gents, that ain't nothing to do at all for a man who haw been a bugler in a deaf and dumb asylum for seven years, like me I" New Orleans Iltrald. One of the young ladies at the Elgin watch factory, it is said is at work upon a patent watch, which will have hands so made and adjusted as to seize the wearer by the coat collar every evening about ten o'clock, and walk hiai off home. 'Death is as near tu the young as the old. Here is all the difference : death stands behind the young uiau's back, but before the old man's face. WHAT IS LEPROSY. A visit to the Settlement of Lepers in the Sandwich Islands. The leprosy of the Sandwich Islands, says a correspondent v of the N. Y. Tribune, is a disease of the blood and not a skin disease. It can be caught only, I ara assured, by contact of an abraded surface with the matter of the leprous sore ; and doubtless the habit of the peo pie, of many smoking the samo pipe, has done much to disseminate it. Its first noticeable signs are a slight puffincss under the eyes, and a swelling of the lobes of the ears. To the practiced eyes of Dr. Trousseau, the attending physician, these sins were apparent where I could not perceive them until he laid his finger on them. Next follow symptoms which vary greatly in different individuals ; but a marked sign is the retraction ol the fingers, so that the hand comes to resem ble a bird's claw. In some cases the lace swells in ridges, leaving deep furrows between; and these ridges" are shiny and without feeling, so that a pin may be stuck into one without giving pain to the person. The features are thus horribly deformed in some cases ; I saw two young boys of 12 who looked like old men ol 60 Iu some oiler men and women, the face was at first sight revolting and baboon like ; I say at first sight, for on a second look the mild sad eye redeemed the distorted features; it was as though the man was looking out of a horrible mask At a later stae of the disease these rugous swellings break open iuto festering sores ; the nose and even the eyes are blotted out, and the body'becomes putrid. In other cases the extremities are most severely attacked. The fingers, after be ing drawn in like cl-iws, begin to fester. They do not seem to drop off, but rather to be absorbed, the nails following the stumps down ; and I actually saw finger nails oo a hand that had no fingers The nails were on the knuckles; the fingers had all rotted away. The same process of decay goes on with the toes; in some cases the whole- foot had dropped away ; and in many the hands and feet were healed over, the fingers and toes having dropped off. But the healing of the sore is but temporary, the disease presently breaks out again. Emaciation does not seem to follow. I saw very few wasted forms, and those only a the hospitals, and among the worst cases. There op pears to be an astonishing tenacity of lile, and I was told they mostly choke to death, or fall into a fever caused by swallowing ths poison of their sores when thcte attack the nose and throat. Those diseased give out soon a very sickening odor, and I was much obliged to a thoughtful man in the settlement, who commanded the lepers who had gathered together to hear an address from the Doctor to form to leeward of us. I expected to be sickened by the hospitals; but these are so well kept, and are so easily ventilated by the help of the constantly blowing trade wind, that the odor was scarcely perceptible in them You will perhaps ask how is the dis ease contracted. I doubt if any one yet knows definitely not from all I heard. I judge that there must be some degree ol predisposition toward disease in the person to be contaminated. I believe I have Dr. Trousseau's leave to say. that the contact of a wounded on abraded surface with the matter of a leprous sore will convey the disease ; this is of course innoculation ; and he seemed .to think no other method of contamination probable. I wa careful to provide myself with a pair of gloves when I visited the settlement to protect my hands in case I should be invited to shake hands ; but I noticed that the doctor fearlessly shook hauds with some of the worst cases, even where the fingers were suppurating and wrapped in rags. There are several women on the islands, confirmed lepers, whose husbands are at home and sound ; one, notably, where the husband is a white man. Oo the other baud a woman was pointed out to me, who had three husbands, each of whom in a short time alter marrying her became a leper. There are children, lepers, whose parents are not lepers; and there are parents lepers whose children arc at home and healthy. There are three white men on the island, lepers, two of them in a very bad state. So far as I could learn the partic ulars of their previous history, they had lived flagitiously loose lives; such as must have corrupted their blood long before they became lepers. In some other cases of native lepers I came upon similar his tories ; and while I do not believe that in every case, or indeed perhaps in a ma jority of cases, involves such a career of vice, I should say that this is certainly a strongly' predisposing cause And as to the danger of infection to a foreign visitor, there is absolutely none, unless he should uudertakc to live in native-fashion among the natives, smoking put of their pipes, sleepping under their tapas, aud eating their food with them ; and even in . such an extreme case his risk would be very slight now, so thoroughly has the disease been "stamped out" by ho energetic action of the Board of Health In short, there is no more ri.-k of a white resident or traveler catchinsr leprosy in the Hawiian Islands than iu the City or State of New York. I have heard one reason why this dis ease has beau more frequent in the last ten years. About that timo the islands were visited by small pox. This disease made terrible ravage, aod the Govern ment at once ordered the people to be vaccinated. There seems to be no doubt that the vaccine matter used was often taken from .persons not previously iu sound health ; this was probably unavoid able, but intelligent men, long resident in the islands believe that vaccination flius performed will, impure matter had a bad effect upon the people, leaving truces ol a resulting corruption of their blood Salt-Rising Bread. A correspondent of Household given the following receipt for making salt ris ing bread, which is said to be superior to common yeast bread, and is considered by some as more wholesome. "Put three teacups ol wafer, as warm as you can bear your finger in, in a two quart cup or bowl, and three fourths of a-tea-spoonful of 8a,t ir in flour cnou -h to make quite a stiff batter; this is for the rising, or emprjings, as some call it. bet the bowl, closely covered, in a kettle, in warm water as -warm as you can bear your finger in," and keep it as near this temperature as possible. Notice the time when you -set" your rising ; in three houis stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour, put it back, and in five and one half hours from the time of setting, it wiil be within one loch of the top of your bowl It i then light enough, and will make up eight quarts of flour ; make a spoo-c in the center of your flour with one quart of water of the same temperature a risin, stir the lising into it ; cover over wiilia little dry fluur, aud put it where it wilt keep very warm, but not scald ; in three fourths of an hour mix this into a stiff dough ; if water is used be sure it is very, warm, and do not work as much as yeast bread ; make the loaves a little larger and keep it warm for another three quarters of an hour ; it will then be ready to bake. While rising this last timo have your oven heating ; it needs a hotter oven thau yeast bread. If these rules are followed. you win nave brearl as white as enow, with a light brown crust, delicously sweet and tender." A very strange proceeding occurred it a wake down town Wednesday night ; at was not ouly strange it was bar barous. The deceased was a man natned Kenedy, whose place of abode when he lived was somewhere in the vicinity of the Hill and Washington streets. The house was small, the party was large and refreshments plenty, and as soon as the good cheer began to tell the party bc eame frisky and wanted to have a dance. The room was too small to dauce in un less the corpse was removed, and there was no other room in which the body could be stored. For a time the dance was postpoued, but more refreshment, made the party more clamorous, and at last an attempt was made to set the body on a chair and put it on occ side of the This failed, and as a last rcsor tthe corpse was taken off the table on which it had been placed and stood up in a corner, and the dance went on. We have heard of rows and fights,, and iu fact all kinds of- revelry taking place at wakes, but never before have we heard of anything occurring in a civiHzod community so barborous as this. 7l;-oy Times.
