Lt'CK OP OXE DATS FISHING.
One morning, when apring waa tn her toeni
A mora to a poet's wUhlng, .
All tinted in delicate pinks and greens
Miss Beasle and I went flinlng.
I in my rough and aaiy clothe.
With my lac at Um (onahlne'i mercy ;
She with ber hat tipped down to her nose.
And her nose tipped ic versa.
I with my rod, my reel, and my hooks.
And a hamper for lunching leaesses ;
She with the bait of hr comely' looks.
And the seine of her golden tresses.
So we sat down on the sunny dike.
Where the white pond lilies teeter.
And I went to fishing like quaint old Ike,
And she like Simon Peter.
All the noon I lay in the light of her eyes.
And dreamily watched and waited.
But the fish were canning and would not rise.
And the baiter alone was baited.
And when the time for departure came
The bag was flat as a flounder,
But Bessie bad neatly hooked her same,
A hundred-and-eigbty pounder.
-i.anitrr(En(.) Ercmirtr.
A PKEDICAMEXT.
An awkward predicament, wasn't
it, though? I believe I will tell you
all about it, and thus relieve my
mind.
First, let me introduce myself.
My name is Ro?ina Fairfax ; I am
an artist with a little den of a studio
way up in a certain sky parlor in
the" great city of Chicago. It hap
pened while I waa on my way to
visit my sister. Mrs. Arundel, in
Rochester.
Reins: a "lone, lorn woman," I had
dreaded undertaking the journey un
attended, but at last, urged by a per
suasive letter from my sister, I
"screwed my courage to the sticking
point," packed mv trunks, and one
bright day the train, with myself
among the passengers, steamed away
from the noisv. bustling citv, east
ward bound.
I was comfortably seated, my
trunks properly checked, my valise
and latest magazines on tue seat by
mv side.
1 leaned my head back, and gazed
from the window on the tiying pan
orama without in pertect content.
Everything was going smoothlv,'I
congratulated myself ; I, who had to
travel alone, as only a timid woman
can understand, began to look upon
it as just the easiest matter in the
world, and felt quite like a veteran
traveler.
I was mentally reviewing the pos
sibility of attempting a trip to San
Francisco, and arrived at the conclu
sion that it would be so trifling an
undertaking that, as Toots would
say, "its of no consequence," when,
right in the midst of mv serenity
the first blow was struck which plac
ed me in the aforesaid predicament.
Chancing to raise my eyes, they
fell uyon a woman with a baby in
her arms seated nearly opposite from
me.
The child, perhaps nine months
of age, was a laughing, crowing little
creature, pretty as a cherub, and ex
quisitely dressed.
I he woman was a red laced, un
prepossessing person. I eould scarce
Iy believe she was the mother of that
lovely child
After a time she arose and crossed
deliberately over to where I sat it
was a double seat, and I occupied
only half. She sat down, facing me
without a word.
The child attracted me for a time.
I liave'alwavs liked children, but
have not the slightest experience in
caring for them. I always feel an
inclination to run away when I hear
one scream, and would sooner en
counter a roaring lion on the street
than be left alone. in charge of a
babv.
Rut, unfortunate woman that I
am, l began to notice me cnua,
while attracted by a bracelet I wore,
the baby evinced a wonderful inter
est in me. Of course it was soon in
my arms, and upon that slight inci
dent I base all the strange occurren
ces subsequent
The train was slackening speed,
now, and at last came to a stand still
at a certain station of some size and
importance. The woman arose.
"Would you mind holding baby
for a few minutes, miss?" she in
quired. "I'd like to step off here and
buy her soma milk."
Of course I could not be so ungra
cious as to refuse ; so she stepjied
off. The moments fled, and sudden
ly with a shriek and a snort, the
train started.
And there I was with that morsel
of humanity in my arms. What
should I do ? I laid the case before
the good natured conductor. He had
the impertinence to smile broadly at
me.
"Reg your pardon, ma'am," he
said hastily, "but such cases are not
uncommon. The woman has made
you a present of hsr baby, that's all.
She has deserted the child."
"What in the world can-I do with
it?"
The conductor smiled again.
"Ill telegraph to D " he said,
blandly, "and place the matter in
tbe bands of the police. In the
meantime, I see no alternative, miss,
but for you to take charge of the
child for the present"
I began to wish that I had died
when 1 wa young. All the pleasure
had departed from my trip.
I pictured my arrival in Roches
ter ; I. Rosina Fairfax, with a baby
in my arms, and the horrified face
of my sister and her fastidious hus
band, X could have put my bead down
upon the seat and shrieked with
rage and horror, but the baby claim
ed all my attention.
What if it should begin to cry ? I
recoiled from the very thought
There were several ladies in the
car, but each and every one seemed
to ignore my unpleasant situation ;
all eyes were turned toward the car
windows, eagerly watching the fly
ing landscape without ; and no one
iao fctoUtxtu me assistance or a a vice,
1 wail? ome I blttsh to sav it were

The tram paused a moment at a
waer station, and JOUDg COBB

a bit handsome, and bad

cated near me : of" course he asked
permission, and I mast admit that
his voice was one of the sweetest I
had ever heard.
I had made the child as comforta
ble as 1 knew now in my arms,
wrapped in my traveling shawL
The young man glanced from the
now sleeping child to my face, and
then I observed that he had beauti
ful eyes. I'll say that for him any
how.
He opened a magazine and began
to read bv the waning light, for
night was beginning to herald its ap
proach by the gray Btreaks of twi'
light : while I busied myself count
ing the hours which must elapse be
fore morning would dawn
A whole night of sleeping car hor
rors before me. Oh, how intensely
did I reeret that journey. I was
counting the hours, then the min
. . . i
utes, belore it wouia be morning
seven hundred and twenty. I shook
my head ruefully at the thought,
when, just then, with a kick and a
dash, the child awoke ; and, shades
of cupid ! what a yell it set up.
The young man laid his magazine
aside, and as he did so, I observed
that be had been holding it upside
down.
"Is the child sick, madam ?" he
asked, respectfully.
"I don't know, I blurted despair
ingly.
The baby, st that juncture, saw fit
to quit its screaming, and lay in my
lap, its great, grave eyes blinding in
to my own.
The young man started suddenly,
and an expression which 1 thought
rather odd flashed over his narrow
face.
"How old is the child ?" he ques
tioned.
"I don't knw."
He looked astonished. I determ
ined to be imposed upon no longer.
"I don't know anything about it,"
I cried, in exasperation. "I don't
know how old it is, or what it's name
is, or anything it's not mine."
To my intense astonishment the
young man took the child in his
own arms ; his sallow face grew sud
denly pale, and I could see tiiat he
was trembling! he gazed earnestly
into the baby's blue eyes.
"Cecile !" he cried.
The baby looked up with a glad
little laugh; he strained it to his
heart Then he turned toward me
and turning down the lapel of his
coat, displaying a shining badge, he
laid one hand on mv shoulder and
said :
"I arrest you for the abduction of
this child, the only child and heir
ess of Mrs. Dufont, of Milwaukee,
my sister. I have been on your
track for days."
Wasn't that a predicament for me,
Rosina Fairfax, de scendent of a long
line of old F. F.
For a time I "was so overwhelmed
by indignation, horror and anguish
that I was quite speechless, and sat
trembling and ftill. The conductor
happened to pass through the car at
that stage of affairs and paused
aghast Of course I was certain that
everything would be explained now,
but to my horror and disgust the
conductor seemed dubius in regard
to the matter; feared I might be an
accomplice of the woman, etc., and
advised my detention as a prisoner
until Rochester snould be reached.
It was just when I was about to
faint with horror and agony too
deep for words to express, that I
chanced to turn my head and saw
coming toward me down the aisle
(oh, thank Heaven!) my brother in
law, Mr. Arundel.
He sprang forward and caught
my hands in his own.
"Rosina," he cried, joyfully, "we
were so fearful that you would dis
appoint us that my wife sent me on
to bring you home with me. Good
Heaven! what is the matter ?"
And there, half dead with shame
and indignation, I poured forth my
whole miserable story.
He turned, and his eyes fell upon
the young detective.

a pretty shrewd detective, but you've
overshot the mark this time.
And, a it turned out that the two
had been firm friends for years, of

and set right in a twinkling.
The child had been stolen from its
nurse while ou a public street in
Milwaukee, but the woman who had
abducted it must have become
alarmed and decided to abandon it
at ihe first opportunity.
Mr. Leslie took a return train, ind

THE BAD BOV.
"You look sleepv," said the gro
eery man to the bad boy, as he came
in the store yawning, and stretched
himself out on the counter with his
head on a pile of brown wrapping
paper, in reach ot a box of raisins,
"what's the matter? Been sitting up
with your girl all night?"
"Xaw! I wish I had. Wakeful
ness with my girl ia sweeter and
more restful than sleep. No, this is
the result of being a dutiful son, and
I am tired. You see pa and me
have separated. That is, not for
keeps, but pa has got frightened
about burglars, and he goes up into
the attic to sleep. He says it u- to
get fresh air, but he knows better.
Ma has cot so accustomed to pas
snoring that she can't go to sleep
without it, and the first night pa
left she didn't sleep a wink, and
yesterday I was playing on an old
accordeon that I traded a dog collar
for after our dog was poisoned, and
when I touched the low notes I
noticed ma dozed off to sleep, it
sounded so much like pa's snore,
and last night ma made me set up
and play for her to sleep. She rest
ed splendidly, but I am all broke
up, I sold the accordeon this morn
ing to the watchman who watches
our block. It is queer what a diff
erent effect music will have on diff
erent people. While ma waa sleep
ing the sleep of innocence under the
influence of my counterfeit of pa's
snore, the night watchman was broke
of his rest by it, and he bought it of
me to give it to the son of an enemy
of his. Well, I have quit jerking
soda." "
"Xo, you don't tell me," said the
grocery man, as he moved the box
of raisins out of reach. "You never
will amount to anything unless you

puts a little syrup in a tumbler, and
tires a little sweetened wind and

the tumbler, and charges ten cents

formed, feels that it is worse than

Say, what's super? It isn't one
of these free lunch places, that the
mayor closes-at midnight, is it?"
and the grocery man looked sorry.
O, thunder, you want salt on you.
A super is an adjunct to tbe stage.
A supe is a fellow that assists the
stirs and things, carrying chairs and
taking up carpets, and sweeping the
sand off the stage after a dancer h:is
danced a jig, and he brings beer for
the actors, and anything that he can
do to add to the effect of the plav.
'rivatelv, now, I have been acting
as a supe for a long time, on the sly,
and my folks didn't know anything
about it, but since I reformed and
decided to be good, I felt it ray duty
to tell ma and pa about it The
news broke ma all up, at first, but
pa said some of the best actors in
this country were sups once, and
some of tLem were now, and he
thought supping would be the mak
ing of me. Ma thought going to tne
stage would be my ruination. She
said the threater was the hotbed of
sin, and brought more ruin than the
church could head off. Rut when I
told her that they always gave a supe
two or three extra tickets for his
family, she said the theater had
some redeeming features, and when
I said my entrance upon the stage
would give ma a splendid opportu
nity to get the receipt for face pow
der from the actresses, for ma, and I
could find out how the actresses
managed to get number four feet
into number one shoes, ma said she
wished I would commence suping

things about the theater that are not
so al tired bad, and she wants me to
get seats for the first comic opera

he has to pay a dollar for a reserve

He knew I
was solid at the theater, and wanted
me to get him behind the scenes one
night, and another supe wanted to
go to the sparring match, and I
thought it wouldn't be any harm to
work my teacher in, so I got him a
job that night to hold the dog? for
the Uncle Tom's Cabin show. He
was in one of the wings holding the
chains, and the dogs were just anx
ious to go on, and it was all my
teacher could do to hold them. I
told him to wind the chains around
his wrists, and he did so, and just
then Eliza began to skip acr(ss the
ice, and we sicked the blood hounds
on before my teacher could unwind
the chains from his wrist1?, and the
dogs pulled him right out on the
stage, on his stomach, and drawed
hirn across, and he jerked one dog
and kicked him in the stomach, and
the dog turned on my teacher and
took a mouthful of his coat tail and
shook it, and I guess the dog got
some meat, anyway the teacher
crlmbed up a step ladder, and the
dogs treed .him, and the step ladder
fell down, and we grabbed the dogs
and put some court plaster on the
teacher's nose, where the fire extin
guisher peeled it, and he said he
would go home, cause the theater
was demoralizing in its tendencies.
I spose it was not right, but when
the teacher stood up to hear our
Sunday school lesson the next dav,
cause he was tired where the dog bit
him, I said "sick-em," in a whisper,
when his back was turned, and he
jumped clear over the Bible class,
and put his head around to his coat
tail as though he thought the Uncle
Tom's Cabin party were giving a
matinee in the church. The Sun
day school lesson was about the
dog's licking the sores of Lazarus,
and the teachtr said we must not
confound the good dogs of Bible time
with the savage beasts of the present
day, that would shake the daylights
out of Lazarus and make him climb
the cedars of Lebanon quicker than

Reading, June 12. One of the
most mysterious of deaths and, at
the same time, one of the most curi
ous presentiments by which the
death was discovered, were developed
near this city late thia afternoon
after tbe dead body of a man,
with a twenty pound stone hanging
to his neck, had been drawn up from
the bottom of a deep minehole. Tbe
man's name is August Hechler, aged
forty, a small farmer formerly resid
ing on the opposite side of the river.
About nineteen days ago he sudden
ly disappeared from home about 2
o'clock in the morning. His wife
savs he was in bed at 1 o'clock.
She fell into a doze and when she
woke up at 2 o'clock, her husband
had disappeared. Next day a bottle
was found in the river near by indi
cating that some one had drowned
himself Tbe day afterward it was
reported that Hechler had been
seen at Lebanon and at Harrisburg.
Tbe wife believed none of these re
ports, but she stated that frequently
an indescribable feeling of fear came
over her and something seemed to
tell hr that her husband's body was
at the bottom-of a neighboring iron
ore mine. She finally insisted that
the old deserted mine should be j
searched, jusf to satisfy her, because j cate the hands that the education eft d.j.

To-day quite a large nnmber of !

Pantamlme in a Court Room.
The attorney, at the date of the
story was servingthe commonwealth
of Ohio and the county of inton
in the capacity of prosecuting attor
ney at the little town of McArthur.
He then wore rather a youthful and
possibly somewhat verdant appear
ance for a man holding so responsi
ble a position. The most conspicu
ous personage known to the Vinton
bar at that time was a grave and
pompous barrister from a neighbor
ing town a man who had reached
the middle age of life, and with an
extensive practice, profitable alike
in fame and pecuniary gain ; a man
whose eloquence bent juries to his
will, and whose logic pinned them
fast; whose invective and pointed
sarcasm blanched the cheek of the
witness or the prisoner, as might be '
necessary to gam the case, and he
was alike dreadetl and hated by his
fellow practitioners. The attorney
referred to is living yet one of the
most prominent jurists in southern
Ohio. His ability has not dimin
ished, nor has his knowledge that he
possesses ability. One day the
young prosecutor had a riot case to
try, and to his consternation he
learned that the gentleman referred
to had been retained by the defense.
The prosecutor handled his case
with great care, but from the first did
not hope to convict the prisoners.
He was stirred up somewhat, how
ever, by the sneering allusions made
to him during the examination by
the imported counsel, and so when
he came to make his opening speech,
he indulged in a little bombast him
self. He expected to be torn up
somewhat by the impo'rted counsel,
but was utterly unprepared for the
simoom that swept through the court
room when the imported counsel
got fairly under way. He paced up
and down in front of the Judge ; he
sawed the air in front of the jurors;
he 6hook his finger in the lace of the
young prosecutor and Shivered in
imaginary horror at the though of so
youthful a youth undertaking to
measure swords with him. The voice
was loud and bitter in its denuncia
tion ; the manner threatening and
awe-inspiring, and with face of scorn
he sat down with folded arms and
awaited the verdict which he did
not suppose they dared refuse to
render. The young prosecutor was
mad. lie felt that he would like to
thrash the imported counsel out of
hi3 boots. He arose to his feet, un
certain for a moment what to do. A
happy thought struck him, and
throwing hi3 head back, he cast his
left arm behind him and thrust his
right hand ia the breast of his vest.
while under over arching eyebrows
he scowled out at the jury. The
jury "dropped to it in an instant
o did the Judge, so did the siecta-
tors. There was the familiar pose of
the imported counsel, perfect in its
lmitition. lhen the young prosecu
tor began, and without opening his
lips, proceeded to copy the gesticu
lations and movements of the emi
nent attorney who had proceeded
him. He snorted and cavorted, and
stamped and rolled his eyes. He
strode up and down in front of the
judge and jury, following in his ges
ticulations precisely those of which
they had just seen the copy. He
shook his finger menacingly under
the nose of the eminent gentleman,
and then assuming the statesman
like pose, he looked down upon him
disdainfully. Then he would stop
and twirl on his finger a martingale
ring, which he drew from his pock
et, and which was intended to rep
resent the large seal ring on the small
finger of the left hand of the oppos
ing counsel. It was too much. The
eminent attorney appealed to the
court for protection, while the Jude
laughed until the tears rolled down
his cheeks, and the jury and tbe
spectatora chuckled audibly. The
Judge replied that the young man
had done nothing, had said nothing
to him, and he did not "eel called

A Good Education.
ye ear a pooi deai gaiJ jn these
latter times about a good education,
arj j n ea(i,, us to inquire what a good
education is ? Everybody in this
country is agreed that it comprises the
ability to read properlv and gramat-
icailv the English language, and a
...... , - ,
sufficiently knowledge of arithmetic
to be able to answer accurately any
questions in the four rules in that
science. This is a good education
as far aa it gows, and as far &s street
education is concerned it ia better
than many who claim to be well ed
ucated have attained to. Without
these, education is not good, al
though you are years in all the olo
gies and osophies mentioned in Web
sters dictionary; with them you have
the key that with patience and per
severance will unlock all the others.
But even with those and the addition
ofaHthe learning taught in the
schools but nothing more, the educa
tion would be far from a good educa
tion. The education most needed at
the present day is a practical one,
and it is also the most neglected.
