and Joe p"t un from Lis chair with
an iaipatieut jerk, and a look of posi

J.e turned moodily away, and sat
lUr.-n airnin at h"s desk, and drawing
co nrd him a ponderous-looking Tol
uine, proceeded to immerse himself
in the C nicu'l mathcroatiral prcblcms
that Harry's rapture had interrupted.
J.ut the chain of thought una lieen
broken. Calculus seemed to have
l.t all power to ensrross his atten
lion, and d.T-reiitiuls and infinitesi
mals had suddenly frown as unin-
t-rcsting and unimportant as they
arc muuII.
After half an hour he gave it np
and, lightings cigar, let his thoughts
wander whither they would. Finally
they lit upon Harry. "1 wonder it
I wis uukiud . the boy to-night?"
he a-kt d himself. "1 was busy, and
he irritated me, and he did make
sui-u a fool of himself. Then all the
tiuic he was raving so absurdly,
Mubcl's eyes se med to be looking

After all, lam foud of tue youngster

Joe knocked twice at Harry's door
aud then, receiving no answer, open
ed it 8nd entered the door. The gas
was lmrniug dimly, and there w as no
signs of occupation, "(ione out, 1
suppose. loes the idiot leave all
his letters open for the inspection of
his landlady !"' said Joe to himself,
as he saw an open note and a photo
graph lvinjr on the bureau. " onder
if this is the fair object of Lis admi
ration ?" and Joe turned up the gas,
aud proceeded to examine the impe
rial type. Suddenly he started, and
the bushy eyebrows contracted fierce
ly above the deep-set eyes. With a
steady, searching look be examined
every feature of the expressire face
before him, and then turned the pic
ture abo'tt in search of a name.
. here it was, just as ho had expected
to find it, ia the firm, flow ing charac
ters w hich be knew so perfectly well.
Sincerely yours, Alice Itcmson."
"(lood Jod!'' muttered Joe, "what
does that woman know about sincer
ity ?'' Then he took up the note,
written in the same hand.
"At home to you, dear Harry, to
night at seven. With love,
Alice."
' Then that is here he has gone
Ob, Harrv! Harrv! God help
vou !''
Joe sat down
on the side ofthe
bed, and, brushing the falliug Lair
bark with Lis big, awkward Land,
set himself steadily to work to find
out w here Lit duty lar.
"All of os! Harry, Mabel, and
me. Hah ! I thick "the fiends ex
hausted their ingenuity when they
invented the torment called loving.
I'oor boy ! poor Harry ! How can I
tell Lim ? bow make the wretched
story soundless LorriLle?" Joe look
ed at Lis watch. Harry could not
reasonably be execied to return tor
two hours. He would probably re
main as long as Miss Kemson would
permit him, thought Joe, bitterly
until the fascinating young lady
wearied of bis ardent devotion, and
dismissed Lim with a yawn.
For tbe next hour Joe paced stead
ily up and down Harry's room, hit-
heavy footfall sounding through the
tioure w it a s dull monotonous retru
larky, and the longer be thought of

were adapted to labor and sorrow
but be would bave liked to claim im
munity from Buffering for those he
lovta ; ana Uarry Lild a very warm
place in bis heart, perhaps because
Le was Mabel's cousin.
Finally be scrawled a single line
upon a card, and lett it where Har
ry would see, it when he entered Lis
room.
"Come up to my room as soon as
you return.
Jot"
Then Le went quietly up stairs to
bisowa apartment, and unlocking
heavy desk that Btood in one corner,
took from it a bundle of letters tied
carefully together with a small piece
I of black crspe
Placing tbe package

i feeling rose up in bis heart, that his
should bare been tbo hand selected

Jjoc shirtred when the clock suuck

tbe rattle of Harry s latch-key.
' It must come," he muttered be
low Lis breath, "and the sooner the
better. If I put it ofT. until ic-mor-row,
it will lie no easier to tell or to
hear."
In a moment Harry's light step
sounded en the stairs, and. Bashed
with health and happiness, he burst
into the room.
What's the row, Je! Thought
Jyou didn't believe ia burning the
midnight oil ? barely your eiciting
researches into Newton and Leibnitz
haven't kept you up till this hour?
You ought to be dreaming about our
landlady's mufiins and all tbe dear
delights of to-morrow's breakfast.
I'bew! I'm tired," and Harry re
sumed bis old position on tbe bed.
"I was rather' rude to you this
evening, Harry, aud I thought I'd
like to tell you
"Oh, bosh! is that what's the mat
ter? You dear old boy, do you sup
pose I remembered it for a moment?
I say, Joe, do you know, I think you

never was anybody quite so quite
so I don't know what I ant to
say. When a fellow is spoony 03 a
girl, there's a million ways of telling
her of it, but when it's acother fel
low, why let's shake Lands," and
Harry rolled over and placed his
hand in Joe's enormous paw.
'(iod bless you, Harry!"
"Why, w hat on earth is the mat
ter? You're as solemn as if you
were assisting at the funeral of all
your friends and relatives in a
bunch."
"Harry, is Alice Uemson the girl
of whom vou were telling mc to

"Of course she is. Sweet little
Ally ! TLere couldn't be two like her

' I know of 1 er."

"the it two years older than you

"Y-es."
"And a woman is older than a

strong hand iucbsid Harry's more
delicate one for a mdiueot n its firm
clasp. Harrv was stank
1 by the
quivering, uncertain tone in Joes
voice and tbe gentle way in which
he laid Lis hand back on tbe bed
when be ceased holding iu
"Did you ever hear of Charley
Howard?"
"Yes, I think so. The man who
was louQd browned in tbe bay,
wasn't be? There was a great 'fuss
about it in tbe papers. I was in the
country tben.you kuow."
"les. lou were at home then
with your mother and Mabel, but I
was boarding here in tbe same room
where I am now, and Charley How
ard was on the floor above us. He
was something like you, Harry,
frank, open, and noble hearted, gen
erous and affectionate. Unlike you,
he was poor, relyingentirely upon bis
own exertions for a living, and work
tog Lard as a clerk in tbe banking
bouse or Huntley A. Co, in uroad
street. Wherever Charley went he
was a favorite. His unusual beauty
and winning manners seemed to
charm every one with whom Le asso
ciated. I have known a great many
men in a long course ot university
life, but I have never seen a hand
somer or nobler looking young fel
low than Charley Howard. His
bright laughing eyes were of a soft
brown color, matcbio; the hair that
curled over his low broad forehead,
his mouth was as softly curved and
geuue iu 11s expression as mat 01 a
woman, but redeemed from all suspi
cion of effeminacy by the long thick
mustache that shaded it. He was
tall and well proportioned, graceful
in build, though not possessing much
appearance of muscular strength.
Charley was very fine looking, al
though he always gave an impres
sion of elegance rather than power,
and his face showed a quick intelli
gence, but not a strong intellect
I'oor fellow! Lad Le been endowed
wi h less beauty and more mental
force, he had not ended so miserably.
I have to'd you that he was a great
favorite in society. It was during
the second rear that I knew Lim
we bad been living here together for
about eighteen mouths that be came
iuto my room oue uigbt ah ut t.iue
o'clock, in evening dress, n hi me
that he was going to a lare j-any at
the house of Mr. Huntley, Li em
ployer. It was there that he met for
the first time Alice Hem son."
"Who?" said Harry, ia a sharp,
constrained tone. He began to see
where Joe's story was tending, and
a hot, bitter feeling of hatred towards!
bis friend surged up in his heart
"I-orgive me, Harry. I would
spare you the bo'rid story if I could
h is as bard for me to tell as for von
10 bear. It is ouly the hope that tbe
present pain i am insicuog may are
you years oi luture eunvnng that en
ables me to go 00;" and Joe's voice
trembled as be spoke.
"He met ber for the first time at
Mr. Huntley's; but a'ter that, as the
winter went on, not a week passed
that Lc did not spend one or more
evenings at bcr side. At balls, par
lies, or receptions Charley was ber
constant attendant; Le was Ler es
cort at the opera; he walked with

day rode w ith heria tbe Tart Their
names were always coupled together
in tne current gossip of drawing-
rooms, aua people would ranse to
aamire tne CAQUsome couple as they
passed mem on tbe street or ave
nues. Charley's attention was in a
great measure drawn away from his
business; Lis salary was exhausted
with opera and concert tickets, car
riage Lire, aud Lot house flowers;
aud his devotion ta Alice ltpmunn
absorbed Lis lime and attention to
the exclusion of every other thought
or interest AU other admirers fell

Harry's face was turned away

I saw s sad, troubled look in Lis

change in Lis manner,
what w as the matter. It
asked him
was 6ome-
thing so unusual to see him anything
but cheerful and Lappy.
" 'I don't quite know,' he answer
ed, in the low sweet voice that was
one of Lis trreatest attractions. 'Ally
promised to be at home to-night, and
when I went to ber house she bad
gone out 'with a gentleman,' I was!

"Ia there aa engagement, Char
ley?" I asked.
"I suppose I may tell you. Joe,"
Le replied; "but the little lady will
not bave it announced publicly."
"Why not?" I asked him.
"I don't know. You you djnt
think Ebe can mean to break her
promise, do you, Joe?" he asked, in
a troubled, hesitating tone. "She
has'nt seemed quite the same lately."
And a heavy sigh brcke from bis
lips, and there was a slight eviuesce
of tears in tbe depths of his soft
brown eyes.
"That was the beginning of the
end. From that night a change came
over Charley. The brilliant light in
his eyes faded away, the sound of his
footfall grew heavy and weary as Le
dragged Lirasclf hopelessly about,
and bis merry whistle never woke
the echoes in the old boarding house
again. Alice Itemson's falsehood
a id treachery had broken his heart,
and a few weeks afterwards cost him
his life "
"It is false as falie as Loll!"
With a sudden bound Harry spran?
from the bed, his eyes glowing with
tbe fury of a maniac.
Wi h a sudden jerk he seized Joe
by tbe shoulder, and, dragging him
to his feet, threw him forcibly back
against the wall with a resistless
strength burn of thematlue?s of pas
sion that engulphed his soul.
"How care you tell me fucu a
wild, false, wicked lie? Io you
stand there with such a vile, base
falsehood on vour lips and thiuk that
I shall not kill vou?"
! Joe warded off the fierce blow that

Tfce bor wicet J under tbe severe
clance bent upon Lim, aud twirtinz
himself away from tbe resolute jrrasp
that held Lim, buried his fae among
the pillows, w hile a deep groan came
from his lips.
"Harrv," said Joe, while the tears
gathered in his eyes, and Lis voice
quivered at tbe sight of tbe poor
boy's suffering, "here is a package of
letters, the evidence I have to offer
you oi tne trulu ot tne sail story J
have told you to-night. Among the
first you will find Alice's confession
of love for Charley, her sweet ex
pressions of devotion aud affection
for the man she altcrward ruined,
then tbe cruel letter that blighted his
hope and destroyed bis ambition.
Next a few cold, business l'ke lines
from Mr. Huntley, informing bim
that Lis services are no longer of
value to Lis mploy ;rs, and regret
ting the necessity of discharging him.
Last of all, a few disjointed words in
Charley's own handwriting, in w hicb
be announces his intention of self-destruction,
and begs me to break the
story of bis death gently to his moth
er, and shield bis memory, if possi
ble, from tbe obloquy that 'attaches
itself to the nameol a suicide. Then,
Harry, here is a newspaper. In one
column you will find a paragraph
beaded 'Fatal
Accident Found
Drowned,' and a description of how
poor Charley's body wa3 discovered
when the waters gave up their dead,
and all that remained of thebeauti
lul form and gentle soul that so many
bad known aud loved w as a mass of
blackened and swollen corruption,
cast by the waves on the harsh stones
of Staten Islacd beach. In another
column you will see a description of
Miss Itemson's elegant toilet as she
appeared at the grand charity ball at
the Academy of Music."
Joe might have spared him this
last pang. He had done his work
thoroughly. He had torn the veil of
romance and purity away from Alice
Itemson's life and character, aud ex
posed her to Harry's gaze as a wo
man guilty of the crime of driving a
weak and gentle soul to destruction
by her bcarilessness and perfidy.
When Joe ceased speaking Harry
lay for a few minutes motionless. His
fierce passion had subsided, and with
a noble effort he rallied bis power of
endurance and self coutrol. to ena
ble hiui to face in a manner becom
ing a man tbe misfortune that had
fallen upon" bis life. Then be raised
himself from the bed iu a weirv. la
borious manner, like an old man. He
Uok the package of letters from the
table, and shuddered as Lis fingers
came in contact with the black band
that held them together; Lis brow
contracted w'th a sudden snasm of
pain as he saw the name "Charles
Howard, Esq.," traced in tbe same
delicate characters that had so often
written his own. When ho spoke
his voice had a harsh aud unfamiliar
sound.
"I w ill take these, Joe, and read
them. TUj be turned, a d with a

said, in a broken, faltering voice:
"Don't worry, Joe. You cculd'nt
help it I will be all right in the
morning.
Joes grasp tightened on Ila
rrv s
arm as 11 to detain bim. but the boy
pushed his hand gently aside.
"o; I am Letter alone. Let me
go now."
Then te went slowly down stairs,
aud the door of his room closed
tightly, shutting bim in all alone
with his sorrow. But Joe's door re
mained open all night, while the
wakeful ears of the faithful friend
listened anxiously during tbe long
hours for any sound that might reach
bim from the room below.
When morning came, Harry was

question, Joe, and we will never rv
cur to the subject again. Who paid
Charles Howard's debts of which he
spoke in Lis letter to you?"
Joe made no reply.
WLo takes care of the widowed
mother he left? Where is she?"
"In Connecticut."
"Who takes cure of her?"
"She is under the impression that
Charley left some money behind him,
of which she receives the interest"
"Through you?"
Again Joe made no reply.
If Joe had looked at Harry that
moment, be would have seen in tbe
glance of the younger man, as it
rested on his clumsy frame and ua
cuth features, an expression of ad
miration that amounted almost to
reverence.
"And out of your meagre salary
as a tutor at the college you have for
yeirssuppor:ed that poor old woman."
"Joe," said Harry, relapsing lor a
no oent into hi3old b;yih simplicity
of manner, "what makes you so
good?"
With a far off, earnest look iu his
homely eyes the older man replied:
"I am, as you know, Harry, no re
ligionist; I have no creed, I never at

uuto me.' If there be another world
bevoed this, where we shall find eath
other again, 1 would4like to meet a.d

For a few miautes there was no
other w crd spoken. Then Joe look'
ed ctllarrv's sad features and weary
f.-aoie a he rested against the mantle
piece, aad looking up at the little
face above them, said:
"Christmas is coming. Let us go
and sptiid it with the mother and
Mabel." Aud they did 0. And
Mabel cried bitterly when ebe beaid
Harry's story from Joe's lips, and
the tears were half for Harry ajd
half fjr herself.
Then the little girl set herself res
olutely to work to coax back the old
Miiiles to the stern aud gloomy coun
teuauce. And she did it, too did
it so well that when the flowers
bloomed in the following sumuiei

Ibeo, wnb a carpet bag in one
hand and a volume of Leibnitz under

way up to a little cottage among tbe

.Host people nave near a 01 tbe
"Seven Wise Men of Greece," but
very few know whotbey were or how
tncy came to be called so. Here is
ibe story of them, and the moral of
it is worth remembering if their
names are not.
The seven wise men of Greece are
supposed to bave lived in the fifth
century befor Christ. Their nanus
are 1'ittacos, Bias, 80I00, Tbales,
Chilon, Cleobuliis and I'reian'ler.
Tbe reason of their being called
"Wise" is given differently by differ
ent authors, but the most approved
account states that qs some Coans
were fishing, certain strangers from
Miletus bought whatever should be
iu the nets without seeing it. '
When the nets were drawn in tit y
wert. found to contain a golden tri
pod w hich Helen, as she sailed from
Troy, is supposed to have thrown in.
A dispute arose between the fish
ermen and the strangers as to whom
t belonged, and as tbey could not!
agree, they took it to tbe temple of
Appollo, and consulted the priestess
as to what should be done with it.
She said it must be given to tbe
wisest man in Greece, and it was ac
cordingly sent to Tbales, who de
lared that Bias was wiser, and sent
it to bim.
Bias sent it to another one, and so
on until it bad passed through tb
bands of all tbe men, afterward dis
tinguUhed by the tilh of the "Seven
lse Men," and as each one claimed
that some one was wiser than be.it
was finally sent to the temple of A pol
lo, where, according to some writers, it
still remains, to teach the lesson that
tbe wisest are the most distrustful of
their wisdom.
Mather Vmt.
Tbe story of this Iliad of the Nur
sery is told by William L. Stone in
the old Providence Journal. Th
mother-ih-law of Thomas Fleet, the
editor, in 1731, of the Boston Wcvt-
ly fitheantal, was the original'Moth
er Goon; the Mother Goose of the
world famous melodies. Mother
Goose belonged to a wealthy family
in Boston, where her eldest daughter.
l-.UZibetn Uoose, was married by
Cotton .Mauser, in lilo. to rleet.
aud in due time gave birth to a son.
Like roost motbers-in-Iaw in our owu
day, the importance of Mrs. Goose
increased with the appearance of her
grand child, and poor Mr. Fleet, half
distracted with ber endless nursery
ditties, finding all other means fail,
tried what ridicule could effect, aod
actually printed a book, with tbe ti
tle, "Songs for tbe Nursery, or Moth
er uoose s melodies for Children,
printed by T. Fleet, at Lis printing
Douse, 1 ncaing lane, uoston. l'nce
ten coppers." Mother Goose was
the mother cf nineteen children, and
bence we may easily trace the origin
of that famous classic, ."There was
an old woman who lived in a shoe;

A cry 01 "n ake, massa,
wild piii
in ibe grain !" caused myself and my
wortbv and much-es
esteemed friend to
j spring up eft" our beds one wet Octo-
. while tiariiiLr at an old
aLiiudoncd estate somewhere iu t!e
very centre of Jamaica. A short
lime before, a wild boar bad bad the
effrontery to penetrate, on a moon
light morning, iuto the very yard sur
ronuding the "great house," and
more than that, to poke his nose into
an outhouse. An early rising boy
saw tbe animal steal iu, aud very
quietly shut the door on him
"IJusha ' (Anglice overseer) was
away at tbe time, and nobody had a
gun. So the negroes crawled ia st
a bolt) in tbe root, angled for a time,
and succeeded in uoosing tbe intrud
er, w ho was hoisted up, till he stood
on Lis Lind legs, and then dispatched
by means of crowbars, by other ne
groes who entered at tbe door. We
were not long in getting ready, and
taking our guns, loaded with slugs,
and accompanied by three or four
mongrel dogs, which are generally to
be seen about a Jamaica country
bouse, off we started after our guide.
Tbe path was narrow, zigzag, and
steeii. All paths used by negroes
are narrow : for they never walk
abreast of each other, but always
single file. It often surprises one, on
following a tbin, but well beaten
track in the bush, to come suddenly
upon a populous village of huts,
which have no other outlet We
were led up the side of a steep lime
stone hill, covered with virgm forest,
and, therefore, fortunately free from
underwood. Oa tbe ridge were situ
ated the provision grounds in which
we expected to find our quarry.
And, iudeed, the dogs soon gave
tongue, and scampered down the oth
er side of tbe hill. "Him gone to de
cotton tree down a bottom," said
Sambo, and we had to follow. But
to do this was no easy matter : it is
simply impossible to make rapid
way in a straight line down a wood
ed honeycomb limestone mountain
For not only are the occasional bu.-b-es
of wait-a-bit likely to remind you
not to be ia a hurry, but immense
bou'ders of tbe honeycomb rock lie
scattered about, and jumping from
one to the other, or climbing over
ihem, requires time and care. e
selected to go down to the cotton tree
by the roundabout out easier way.
Just tben a rustic was beard among
the plantains. Sambo informed us
it was tbe "field male and piccauiu
ies" running away. It seems that,
whenever a boar and Lis family are
disturbed, if they cannot all get
away unperceivjjd, the boar shows
tigDt aua leads away tbe enemy,
while the sow and young ones make
off in a different direction. Long be
fore reachiog the spot we could hear
that our friend was well at bay.
Approaching cautioufly, we at last
saw Lim, wiihiu range standing be
tween the buttress like roots of the
tree with his stern to the truck, and
the dogs yelping ia front We bjth
fired, and evidently bit bim. He iu
Stantly burst through the dogs, and
made iu our direction. It is unneces
sary to say Sambo was up a tree in
00 time. One of our dogs fortunate
ly caught the animal by the flank
aud turned him aga'n to the tree.
Another shot ia the shoulder tben
finished him. He proved to be a fine
usset-brown six-years-old, with tusk
eight inches long, of which two inch
es projecteo from, the lip. Wild pigs
are by no means uncommon in Ja
maica. There are very few "maniro-
walks" which are not Tisited nightly
auring toe iruii season, oy two or
three ot them, though during the day
they keep m ibe most inaccessible
woods. They are not indigenous,
but are all descended from the do
mestic pigs of tbe old Spanish colon
ists. or from others which have since
become feral. In toe time of tbe
Buccaneers, it appears that Jamaica
waa a great provisioning station for
pork. Large herds of semi-wild pig
were kept, allowed lo roam and feed
themselves in the woods during the
oar, end recalled by tbe zound of a
boro by night Later on, the "Ma
roons," descendant of runaway
slaves, principally gained their liveli
hood by hunting pigs in the bush
roogbly pickling and smoking the
flesh to form the so-called jerked
pork. Tbe wild pigs now in the is
land have nearly all acquired a red-
li.-b tinge, although varying in color
from light brown to almost black.

We bave it from good authority
that near this city, a few days ago,
a game of "seven up" was played, a
little girl of five summers being tbe
prize, ibe father had played and
lost everything he had. and. while
under tbe influence of liquor, propos
ed to put up bis little girl against a
certain sum of money. The propo
sition was at once accepted, and tbe
game began. At tbe last band tbe
game, stood father, five; opponent,
two. In the deal tbe father received
the following trumps: King, ten
seven, and tray. His opponent re
ceived ace, jack, four, and duce.
Tbe father begged, and was given
one, which made him within one oi
going out. Confidently believing
that the game was bis, be threw
down tbe king and tray exclaiming,
"Can you beat that for high or low?"
His opponent replied thift be could
beat both, showed his hand, and
claimed high, low, jack and the game.
Tbe claim was denied, tbe father
hoping that be could take the game
biinselr. Tbe game went on, result
ing in me success of bis opponent,
wno gained tbe game by two points.
ibe winner still has tbe child, and
states that he intends to keep it, un
less tbe latber nses tbe law to regain
bis loss. She is in good hands, better
than those of her father, who is a
widower, and a man of dissolute hab
its, although the possessor of a kindly
bean when not under tbe influence
of liquor. Council Bluff Glube.

Last year a commercial man. iren-
erallj koowo as a "runner." was trav-
eling in Kansas, and stopped at a farm-
nouse, ween tbe lullowiojf conversa
tion took place :
-Well, bow do jou like Kansas?"
"Don't like it at all," said tbe farm
er; you can't raise anrtbinirt and
wben Too do, tbe plagued jrrassboD-
pers take it all ! I'm going to leave
s Boon I can get oat of it."
Happening along last summer be
met tbe man again, and said :
"Hello, too bere yet r"
"Yes but 1 am going to leave
Boon."
"What are you eoinir to leave for ?
You surelj have raided enough tbis
year."
"les, but that's the trouble. Got
mor'n I want tbis year, and cau't

Ta Rtraaccr Wltavu.
A gentleman followed by 1 ser
rant in livery, rode into an inn in tno
west of .Lngl aaa one eveniug, a jh-
'tie after dark. He told IDC landlord
, that ho should Us detained in teat
part uf ihe couatry for a few days,
and wished to know if there were
any amusements going ou in the
town to occupy the time that ha waa
not busy. -He was informed by the
landlord that it was their race and
assize week, and that be tbereforo
ould have plenty to occupy his
leisure moments. Ou the gentlc
mau's making answer that this was
fortunate, as he was fond of hearing
trials, tbe host informed bim that a
very interesting roblwrrj triol was to
come on the next day. That tbo evi
dence was very strong against the
prisoner, and the people's opinion
waa greatly divided, as the man in
sisted that'be was ia another part of
the kingdom when the robbery was
committed.
The gentleman expressed consider
able anxiety to witness the trial.
Accordingly the next morning the
host procured him a good location
through the influence of tbe court of
ficers. While the evidence proceeded
against him, the prisoner's eyes re
mained fixed on the ground; but
upon being called upon for the. de
fence Le looked up, and seeing the
stranger, fainted away. At first this
was supposed to be a trick to gain
time, but being questioned on his re
covery, be asserted that that gentle
man could save bis life if be might
put a few questions to bim.
Tbe eyes of the whole court were
now turned upon the stranger, who
saemed somewhat embarrassed, but
stated although he couli not remem-
ber tbo prisoner be was wining 10
answer auy questions that might be
proposed. " Tbo court granted tbe
prisoner's request, and Le asked the
gentleman if he remembered beiog
at Dover on a certain date. To
which the gentleman answered that
bo had landed at Dover shwrtly be
fore, but could not positively affirm
that be w as there tbat exact day.
"Don't yon remember that a nun
in a bluejacket and trowsers carried
your trunk to tbe inn," asted tec
prisoner.
"I remember that a man did carry
my trunk but I do not remember Lis
dress."
"But," asked tbe prisoner anx
iously, "don't you remember tba:
the man who carried yonr trunk told
you a story about being in the ser
vice, that he thought himself an ill
used man, and that be showed you a
scar he had oa one side of his fore
head ?"
During the last part of the speech
the strauger's face changed, and be
said that he did remember tbe scar,
the prisoner pushed aside his hair
displaying a scar on bis forehead,
and the witness affirmed positively
with great emotion that he was the
very man.
A buzz of satisfaction ran through
the court, for tbe day on which the
witness was at Dover was tbe very
day of the robbery.
The stranger, however could not
be certain of the time, but stated
that be sometimes made memoran
dums of dates in his pocket-book, and
turuing to tbat found that tbe date
of bis landing corresponded with tbe
prisoner's assertion. This beiog tbe
only circumstance necessary to prove
an alioi, the prisoner was immediate
ly acquitted amid great applause and
congratulations.
Tbe above trial occurred in 1832,
and within less than a month the
gentlemanly witness who came to
the inn attended by a servant in liv
ery, tbe servant who followed him,
and tbe prisoner, were all three
brought back to tbe same jail for rob
bing the mail. It turned out tbat
tbe clever defense at tbe trial was a
skillfully arranged plot of tbe con
federates' to release their accomplice.
Vaartllas From Danger.
Passing through a friends farm
buildings recently, we came on a
cistern for catching water from the
root, the lid of which opened in a
frequcntly-travtled path. On our
expressing surprise our friecd won
dered at the alarm, "For," said he
"all about us are trained to such
careful habits that there really is no
danger. No one would ever think of
leaving tbe trap door open." Tbis
reasoning seems correct, and yet tbe
newspapers are rilled with accidents
which occur in cases where all hands
are supposed to exercise the greatest
care, borne one comes in with a
loaded gun and does not draw tbe
charge. He knows how careful
everybody is in handling fiiearrns,
and yet numbers of peoplo die every
year simply through forgetfuloess on
ibe part of some playful fool tbat the
article may possibly be loaded.
A man carries matches loose
bis pocket and goes through bis sta
bles and over bis haymow and straw
tacks. He is quite sure tbat his
careful habits will never let him drop
one so tbat somelbiog may tread on
or fall on it and a fire ensue. But
some dav the whole tbiug "goes up,"
aud there is no end of wonder bow
such a thing could be!
Jt is indeed singular tbat accidents
and losses are usually tbe luck ot
those who are the roost careful. We
knew a man ence who carried money
loose in his vest-pocket, as many do
tbeir matches. o one could be
more particular than he in watching
every time tbat none fell to tbe
ground or ble w away. He regarded
loss as impossible, aud be continued
to think so until one day wben about
to give up his room at a hotel, after
visiting a country fair, his wife found
a ten-dollar bill lying on the floor.
Carefulness is very well Studv
it by all means. But in all our ar
rangemeots security should rest
rather on impossibility than on watch
fulness. Ihe man who lies asleep
with one eye open to guard against
Toes, does well ; but tbe one who
taies lis rest wnere ne snows no
enemy can-come, has tbe best chance
of rest.
We make a note of these things
now because winter is comiojr, and
with it tbe reason when things take
fire from ."defective floes" and other
accidents. These things never occur
wbere people are tIways careful, but
the best rule is to so order things
tbat no matter bow careless peoole
may be accidents are next to im
possible.
