I used to tell her that if the would only leave Phil alone,, he would give up his ou'.-door life, and could easily be won over to bec nie a borne bird. "But mama; a said I ought to be firm with him, nod sol ill." "If mamma would leave you alone, it would be all tbe better for you," 1 grumbled. "For shame, Tcm !" she er.claimed, "how can you ppeak in thai wav if mamma : ' "IJuiher!'' I f jaculatef1 aad went on reading Tbe little goo.e was .ny t-ijiter Em, who bad been married tbree months to my old friend nd companion, Philip Brady ; and was living: with them, and j iued P ail j3 bis cham bers at Gray's Inr "If I Lad know q bow dWpated be would grow, I wou!d never bare married him," e (,btjd Em. 'Dissipated?. eturT."' I exclaim- t(L. , 1 : "See bow 'Je mn.k, paid Em. "Not rr.ore than I do," I replied. "And dri'jks," sobbed Em. "Glass or two of bitters a day, and one drop of wbirky at night," I said. "And stays away fr 0m home." "Nonsense! He is a very good husband, and loves j ou ten times as much as you deserve, VI cried.fharply, for I was getn'nfj cn js with her. "I declare, Tom," abe cried in a pet, "you do notbin; ' but take his part" "Of coots," I stu J, "when you do nothing but wo-ry yourse'f for no' reason whatever.' "I ehall think found eocie one said Eni, nov; crxii "Why, you iy silly litt'.e thing.. tes3r,e to bavs w ell, I'm goiup I soon that he has elte to care for,' g outrigbl. ok that now, you There, you don't such a husband, o bed. You bad jetter go too. in't sit up for him while you ar !tt that temper." "Indeed, Wi I shall," she cried, with a ntarop-fci' ber little foot And, laughing at tie pretty little impetu ous fairy, wa ber uabing blue eyes and goldee, ir, locking in ber anger like an angry crild, I lit my eanole and went off to b.d, feelicg sure that Phil wdjIJ laugh at ber, give ber a kis.a, nd all would lie right again. But it was nut. Phil came home about twelve, and I beard his latch ,. - .1 .. 11. . . 1 1 1 , jey m iae uuor. lie rsiueu tiif etick in the umbrella stand, and inen 1 beard bim go into tbe little draw ing room. Now, instead of being out on any dissipated trip, poor Pbil had been hard at work reading in chambers ; for, as be to.d me afterwards, he bad felt that if he brought bis work borne, be would not do a stroke. Tee consequence was, then, that when be came home, and my little goose of a sisier began a seiies of reproaches, be bore them ail till ehe declared he was deceiving her, and that f-be was growing to bate bim, bicb was as base a little Gb as she could tell. Pbil grew cross in bis turn and scolded the little fury, and ended by ratcbiug btr iu bis aruu and kist-ing ber, telling ber to bo a tnsod girl for the future. I found out afterwards that Em pushed him from ber, and ran up stairs, banging her bed-room dot 1, and locking herself noisily in. Tbe cuuniuir little thing ! I heard ber directly afterwards turn tbe key very softly, upen tbe door, and then go outside and listen. I could bear her breathing every now and then, for she gave a little sob as sbe wailed, evidently longing to "make it op," but prevented by her little angry pride. "Let 'em alone best way," I said, as I sat down in my dressing gown, aud look up a bard legal book, mem ine to read for an hour before I turn ed in. Somehow or other, I bad not oeen reading many minutes before the legal phraseology passed away, and I was away up the Thames, swim niiag in the cool, sparkling, refresh ing water, when I found myself in front of some lock gates, on the oth er Bide of which I heard a load knocking, and some one calling "Tom! Tom!" 'Can't come," I said. "I'm hav ing my batb, aud the water's lovely." "Tom ! Tom 1 Tom ! get up get np quick." And tbe knocking continued. "Eh ! What's the matter ?" I said, starting ia wakefulness, and finding that some one was hammering fu riously at my door. "V bat's the matter:" 1 earn open ing tbe door, for Em to rush into my arms with a hysterical cry, as ehe .sobbed oat set ESTAHLISIIED, 18 ' Oh, Tom, Tom, I'm a wicked wicked wretch !" "Well, I know that, siss You always were." "Tom, dear Tom oh, it's horrible and 1 drove him to do it." Here there was such a burst of s bs that for a few minutes, I could make oothiog of her. "Well, wbat's hedoDe?" I asked at last "gone out again ?" "Oh, no, no." sobbed the poor lit tle thiofr. "Ob, it's too horrible to to true!" "Well, well," I said impatiently, "but what ia too horrible to be true?" "Oh, I can't say it! I dare not say it. Oh, Tom, Tom, dear Tom my own darlinsr Phil!" "Well, well, I know all about that Cut you were bullying him an hour ago. What's he done ?" "Go downTom, go down," she j gasped in a horrified whisper. "I 'can't I can't." She was nearly hinting, and I placed her in a chair, and bathed her face at Iat I gave ber a good dab with my big sponge. "I'll go down as soon as you can be left," I said, speaking more kindly. "He las struck you, has he?" "No, no, Tom," she gasped, "I drove him to ft! I drove him to it! Oh, Tom," she wailed, "be has Fhot himselt !" i "Wbo? rhil?"Icried laughing "nut he. Why, what a little goose you are !" "He ha?, Tcm, he has." "Hare you wen it ?" "No, no; bat I was leaning over the banisters, listening, when there came a horrible rpport apd a fall; and, ob. Tom, Tcu, Tom, I drove Lim to it !" "It's all stuff," I said, though be ginning to grow anxious. "No, no, it's true !" she raid. "You can smell the smoke on the stairs." Now, as I knew that Phil was pos sessed of a revoker, which he had bought to protect the bouse, and, soj as to be read? to band ia the night, ; kepi it n tbe sideboard drawer m tbe dining room, I felt half alarmed, and was about to go down, when Em seized my arm. "I'll so with Ton." she earned. i otintrin.e t.i mw arm ! "You had better not," I said. But she persisted, and put on an eppearance of firmness that I could not help admiring. "Tbere," she exclaimed, with a shudder, as we reached the stairs "D you smell the smoke ?' "Yes," I said; "I smell it." "Ob, make haste, Tom !" she moan ed. "He may yet be alive." We reached the passage, and fonnd that the drawing-room was empty; but tb dining-room- door was closed, and there was a faint light streaming through by the mat As we stood there, Em's courage tailed fr a moment ; but she so in recovered, and, turuing the handle, we fuund Pbil lying on his bank up on the sofa, with the shaded lamp casting its ghastly light upon bis features. 'Pir.1 ! Phil ! my own husband!" shrieked Em. And she threw herself on her knees by the couch. "Hello, pussy," be said quietly, as he bugged ber to Lim. "I thought you would come down again." She started from him with a great gulp of rage. "Why you're not shot !" sbe said, indignantly. "Shot? no" he said, sitting urj ; "who said I was ?" Tbe scene was so comical, that I thiew mvself into a chair, and roar ed. "She said you had shot ycurself," 1 cried. "You cruel coward," cried Eai, passionately. "You pretended to shoot yourself to frighten me." "That I didn't," said Phil. "Come, little woman," be continued firmly, "there has been enongh of this non sense." For answer, she stamped her foot; and was turning away, a prey to shame, rage, and mortiS'-ation, when I stopped ber. "Here's the pistol Em," I said, "and be has got tbe contents inside bim." And I burst out laughing again, as I tot'k up an empty soda water bottle (rom the table. "Tht did go oU very loudly," said, Pbil, firing. "You'd bctier have some too, Tom, after this." "No, thanks, '"I said, smiling, as I pointed to poor Em, wbo was stand lug sobbing, with her bands covering ber face. "I'm off to bed." I turned towards tbe door; and, as 1 reached it, I glauced round, to see that angry, unreasonable little Em nad bidden her face on Phil's breast, and from that I judged that the storm was over. Tbat night proved to be a little lurtiiug-point, for Em was very qui et afterwards ; and whenever tbere waa the slightest sign of a coming tiff, I ueed to say "I say, Em, I knew a man once vi ho tried to commit suicide with a bottle of soda water." And the soda of that remark used to correct all the acidity in pretty little Em. Aa IncldesU of Colorado Lire.

Nor. e.j The events recorded below took place at Sulado, Mexico, March 23, 1343, when seventeen Texans of the Mier expedition were shot by order oi tbe Mexican authorities, lnc story ia told by a correspondent w jo signs himself It. P. II., of Blanco, Texas, a brother of one drew a white bean. One hundred and fifty nine white beans were placed in -the bottom of a mug, and seventeen black ones plac ed upon tbe top of them. Tbe beans were not stirred. Such was their anxieiy to execute Captaia Cameron, and perhaps the balance cf the offi cers, that first Cameron and after wards tbe other officers were made to draw a bean each from tbe mug in this cordiiion. Cameron, in the act of drawing first, with his usual cool ness, "Well, boys, we have to draw, let s be at it. So saying, he thrust his hand into tbe mng and drew oot a white bean. Next came Colonel Wm. F., Wilson, who was chained to him ; then Cap tain Wm. Kyan and then Judge F M. Gibson, all of whom drew white beans. Next came Captain East Ian, i, who drew a black one, and then came the balance of the men. They all drew their beans with that manly dignity and firmness which showed tbem superior to tbeir condition. Some of the lighter tempered jested over tho bloody t-aeedv. One of them said, "Bjvs. this beats raffling all to pieces." The kaocking off the irons from the unfortunates told who they were. 1 oor Ivobert Heard, wbo lay upon the ground sick, said: "Brother if vou draw a black bean I'll take your place." The brother said, "No, am stronger and better able to die than you." Several of the Mexican officer wbo officiated in the cruel violation of their country's faith ex pressed great dissati.-faction thereat. and some wept bitterly. Soon after the fated were placed in a separate courtyard, when about dark they were executed. Several of our men were permitted to visit the nnfor nates previously to tbe execution, to receive their dying requests. Poor Major Cooka said, "Bjys, I told you 1 never failed o draw a prize; and then he said to Judge Gibsou, "Say to piy friends tbat j died in grace." Judge Gibson was so much affi-cted at this last parting that be showed it from bis tears. The Major said : "Tbey onlr rob me of forty years," and then sat down and wrote a sensible and dignified letter to General Waddy Thomoson, tbe United States Minister in Mex ico, and knowing that his remains would be robbed of his clothes after his death, drew off his pants and banded them to bis surviving com rades and died in his underclothes. Poor Henry Whalling, one of Cameron's best fighters, said. "Well. they don't make much off me any how, for I know I have killed twenty-five of the yellow bellies." Then demanding bis dinner in a firm tone, saying tbat "They shall not cheat me out of it," ate heartily, smoked a cigar, and in twenty minutes was launched into eternity. Our interpreter, who was permit ted to remain with tbem to the last, says that "fifteen times they wound ed that iron nerved soul, Henry Whal ing and it would seem that Provi dence bad a special care in prolong ing his existence, that he might dem onstrate to his enemies the national character they had to contend with ; for be gritted his teeth and defied them in terras of withering reproach , until they placed a gun to bis heal and blew his brains against the wall. Such was the elTiCt ot this horrible massacre npan their own soldiers, who were standing as a guard upon the wall above, that one of them tainted and came near falling over but was caught by bis comrades. Poor Terry, quite a youth, but in spirit a giant, said tbat "he was per fectly willing to meet bis fate ; tbat for his country he had fought and for her glory he wa3 willing to die;" and and turning to the officers said : "Af ter the battle of San Jacinto my fam ily took one of your prisoner youths, raised and educated him, and this is our requital." Edward Este spoke of his fate with coolness. Cash said: "Well, they murdered my brother with Colonel Fannin, and tbey are about to murder me." "Tell the offi cer to look upon men who are not afraid to die fcr their country." Captain Eastland behaved with the most patriotic zeal. He desired that bis country should nerer lay down ber arms until the most ample reparation and ber freedom was ob tained. Major Ilobert Dunham said he "was prepared to die, and would fi God that be bad a chines to do the same thing over again ; that be gloried iu the demonstration tLey oad made, which showed Texane without artm to be more than equal to Mexicans with the n." James Oden, with his usual equanimity of teorper, smiled at bir oste acd said: "I am prepared." Young Robert W. Harris behaved iu the most unflinching manner and called npon his companions to avenge tbe murder, while tbeir flowing teare aud bursting hearts, invoking heaven fir their witness, responded to tbe call. I have the utmost confidence that this pledge, so solemnly plighted, will be redeemed. Tbey one and ali invoked tbeir county to do both tbem and herself justice. Just previons to the firing they were bound together with cords, and their eyes were bandaged, they were set upon a log near the wall, with their backs to the executioners. Tbey all begged the officers to shoot them in front, and r.t a short distance, tbat "they were not afraid to look death io the face." This they refused to do, fired at several paces, and continued the firing from ten to twelve minuets, mangling these heroes in a manner too horrible Tor description, uan our Government and people forget these Crimes? Heaven forbid. Tbe names of the murdered men were: L. L. Cash, J. D. Cocke, Rob ert Dunham, W. M. Eastland, Capt. ; Edward Este, Robert Harris, Thom as L. Joms, Patrick Meban, James Ogden, Charles Roberts, William eralc Rowan, J. a'- .Shepherd, J. M Tboaip- son. T. er. Juieu suiuw, Henry Whalin.T. - " -"S- At HerJe.'"' " Miss Bertha Yen UiIKrn, wun a HilKrn, due regard for the w lfare Ci tbe box office and in ntter forg tfu!ne.s of ber desire to demonstrate t he beat, ties o. physical culture, completed her bnn dreth mile last evening exactly tilr'; teen minutes and thirty-fu' second.' before the srtecified time, me wo man is really an excellent walker. Her movement is the embodiajent of grace. With shoulders thrown back, bead erect and large feet planted firmly in loose-fitting shoes, she steps out like a racer. Her arms saw the air, and ber whole figore swings in nnison. The entire time she rested during her lengthy jaunt was two hours, forty-four minutes and twenty four seconds. Tbe actnal time con sumed ia tbe walk was twenty-five hours, fiiteen minutes and thirty-six seconds, making the gross time twenty-seven bours, forty -six minutes and twenty-five seconds During the latter stage of the journey tbe woman frequently appeared exhausted, and was rubbed down by her as sistants, gaining the sympathy and applause of tbe audience, then sue would, as though with an effort, fche new her tramp, with a large-sixed boy ambling by her side to keep ep ber spirits. In re all t v. bad Miss Yon Hillern, walked as she can walk, sbe would have completed the hundred miles long before the expira tion of the twenty-eight hours Her last mile was spurted through in less time than any of its predecessors, tbe time being eleven minutes and forty five seconds, whereas tbe previons mile ber time was seventeen minutes aud five seconds, and sbe made it appear then as though she was walk ing with an effort. All this is ex plainable when it is understood that last night's performance wa3 but a preface intended'to whet the public appetite, for it is understood that next week a 14.3 mile walk will be gone through with, and subsequently a six-day journey is contemplated, and all these she can do without half try ing. I'h iladtlph ia Times. Singular Accidentia. Oa the 22d ult. a boy named Mont gomery crossed the river at Marietta in company with some wood chop pers. After viewing the scenery be climbed a hill and concluded to take a ride from the summit down the run used for slidin? wood down to the river shore. He secured a piece of bark, got aboard and went on his war like a streak of lightning, land ing oa a stone pile. He was injured oeyond recovery. On the same day Levi Swartz, re siding near Mainsville, Perry county, limbed into a grape vine to gather grapes, when a Mr. Croll came along witn his gun. Seeing something move in the vine be mistook it for wild turkey or pheasant anddiscbarg ed his piece at tbe supposed bird. Mr. hwartz, finding that he bad been shot, and feeling faint, descended and was taken home. His physician fund five leaden pellets in different parts of bis person, from tbe effects of which be died a short time after tbe accident. Hold oa Tonus; Tflasi lnis world wags very nueerly, as we shall elucidate. Ten days ago a man stepped int) our office and said. "George, stop.my paper ; I am going west and don't know where I will land ; tbe school directors are only going to pay per month, and am not going to teach for that amount ; I'll bog first!" and off the fellow went wnere to we do not know. He was so quick and resolute that we could not get a word in even edge-wise. But for the benefit of others who may feel like him, we will relate jast exactly what we have been an eye-witness to. We have ia our eye four gentlemen, who, thirty years ago, taught school during the winter for $16 and $13 per month. and worked during tbe summer for 50 and 75 cents per day. One of tbem is now a banker, worth $7o,000, another is a merchant, worth a similar amount, and tbe third and fourth are farmers, worth $40,000 each, and if they live twenty years longer their real estate will be worth double that amount. Such are the comfortable circum stances of four old school masters. We know scores of persons who have received $3.1 and $40, aud more, per month since tbat time, but they have no more to-day than tbey bad fifteen or twenty years ago. Young men, it is not what you earn that makes you rich and re spected ; it is your personal deport ment and whit you save that gives you an honored nwne and places you in comfortable circumstances in your old age. Clearfield Republican. Pennsylvania Likely Paanke, lo Bridss (be Oa Monday a foreigner, evidently a Prussian by birtb, visited the office of the Keystone Bridge Co., in this city and stated tbat be was an agent of the government of Russia, and ex nibited documents to prove his as sertion. He said he was empowered io make a contract with parties in this country for the construction of a oiidge to be thrown across tbe river Danube ia Roamania for the purpose of tbe war now raging between Rus sia and Turkey. The terms stipu late an iron bridge of 2100 feet in length, which, however, must not nave a single spaa for support, said tbat tbe structure must be isbed io time for tbe opening of spring campaign ia order that He the army may be marched across the river. Tbe Lussiao government, be declared, is ready to spend $3,000, 000 upon the bridge. A reporter oi The Sorth American learned these tacts at tbe oCiee of the bridge com pany yesterday afternoon.

Tois is called the prime good, tbe one thing needful, tbe great desideratim or Hie So men toil for it; deceive, cheat, de fraud for it Give time, strength and too often health for it. Tbe truth is, the estimate put upon weIth is too high. Its value, its good, is over- treated. It is not the ereat good. It is not the pearl of great price. It is not the best thins: man can have. It does not confer peace of mind nor pu rity of heart, heart-felt happiness nor contentment, nor home joy. nor so cial blessedness, nor any of tbe solid and enduring enjoyments. Wealthy homes are often no happier than those of the poor and comfortable lirer3. Poverty is always an evil but a fair supply of the necessaries and comforts of life is quite as apt to confer real peace as great wealth. It is not cold nor troods therefor that makes men really wealthy. The best wealth is of the heart, an enlightened mind, a loyal conscience, pure affec tions, lie is wealthiest wno naa tne largest stock of wisdom, virtue and love whose heart beats with warm sympathies for his fellow-meo who finds good in all seasons, a'l provi dences, and all men. Tbe generous man who pities the unfortunate; tbe poor man who resists temptation: tbe wise man who orders well his life; the loving man who clings closely to his family and friends; tbe studious man, who seeks instruction ia all things, are the truly wealthy men. Kentucky Criminal.

"I see you seem to kindo' like it," said the b nest old farmer, shoveling bis mouth full of mashed patatoes, and washing them djrn with the contents of his saucer. 'Yes, I am very fond of fish," con tinued tbe patent medicine man, with a nervous eye oa the kitchen door, as be bolted tbe halt of a cold biscuit. "Did you ever know," be resumed, "that fish was very good for tbe brain?" "Lor', no!" replied the country man. "Yoa don't tell me ! How'd you find that out?" "Oh, I've known it for a long while. I read it in an almanac." "Did yoa though? Well, now, tell me, hare yoa ever tried it?" asked the farmer, sending down aa enor mous chunk of roast beef to see if the potatoes were comfortable. 'Did I ever try it? Great Cuear. man: ntj. I should sav I had. Why, do you know, sir.
