Mr. Brunell yielded. Tlte two went
up together to the waiter, mom.
Jennings was fast asleep. At the very
outset of the eurch they found the sto
len bag of money in his jacket. Hie
guineas nineteen in number had a
mark on each one of them, and that
mark the traveler iiientilied. After this
discovery there was but one course to
take. The waiter's jntestations of in
nocence wlien they woke and act-used
him of the robbery were words flatly
cuntridictcd by tuts. He was chargetl
before a magistrate with the tlieft of the
money and, as a matter of course, was
committed for trial. .

fused to follow their advice, and he was
bravely en -ou raged to a?rsut in that de
cision by the raair girl, who believed in
his iun4s-en4 with her whole heart. At
that lireadful crisis in her life she secured
the best h-gal assistaii4 and took from
lier little dowry the money that paid the
expenses.
At the next assises, the case was tried.

marked) was a curiosity ; the man had

The judge summed up, finding literally

JOHN C. SAXE.
Sorrowful Ending of a Brilliant
Poet's Life.
Up to the year 1S73 John G. Saxe wa
a splendid ami conspk-uoos specimen of
virile mauhood. He stood six ft-et two
inches tall, proudly erect and muscular,
with a large, ronnd and finely poised
head set upon bnatd and stalwart ah. ad
ders. The beginning of the end was the poet's
dreadful experience and remarkable es
cape from a revolting death In a Western
railroad disaster in the spring of IS75,
w hile on his return to Brooklyn at the
close of a lecture tour in the South. The
sleeping-car in which he had a berth was
thrown down a steep embankment, and
he m as rescued therefrom by the merest
chance. As he lay wedge.! in between
the broken timbers, stunneiiand bruised,
a fellow-passenger ,who had escaped be
thought him of a sum 4if money whk'h
he liad left behind him. On returning
to the car, lie stumbled upon the insen
sible poet. The latter w as thereby dis
covered from what wtmld inevitably
have been death and destruction by fire,
as the sleeper in which he was found,
after a short interval following his rescue,
lecaine a mans of seething flame. His
flesh was braised, but no bones were
broken. Outwardly he apjieareil to have
escape.! with slight bodily injuries.
Not so. A grievous hurt was tliere
deep, insidous and lasting, though at the
time it was unseen andunfelt. The iet'a
nerve system liad revived 'a shia k from
which it never rallied. Exhaustion set
in ; slowlv but sutvly the conseu.uent
weakness overspreail and undermined
his whole physioil being. He began to
exja;rience a greater tk-gree of Ijodily and
mental fatigue than bail been usual with
him.
Other affliction were yet in store. Ihir
ing the year just prior to that 'tit the
railroad accident he had interred his
daughter Laura in Oreenwtaal Cemeterv.
Five years later death ag-.fiu invaded his
Brooklyn home, the second victim being
his daughter Sarah. Barely another year
elapsed when the mother of his children,
a noble woman, was put tenderlr awav
in dreamless rest. Earlv in the year of
lst',1 the dark reaper for the fourth time
laid his cruel sickle at his door, this time
cutting il.iwn Haltie, the jwa-t's only re
maining ilaughter. He yet had two sons
living in Albany. Turning his mournful
steps thither in June, lSlil. he sought rest
and refuge from his sorrows with his
eldest son, John Theialore. Once again
the inexorable hand of fate was laid
heavily upon him ; death snatched away
the son ere the father had been a month
lieneath his hospitable naif! The son's
wife had diet! nine wettks before. Here
was a daughter and a son's wife and the
son himself -all three cut down within
the brief peril al of two months! Thus
for the second time was bniken up the
l?t's home. Then he turne4l to his
youngest son and only remaining child,
with whom he has since lived, and who
with filial tenderness and solicituile min
isters to tiie tajet's simple tlailv wants.
In a large and luxuriously furnished
apartment in a ftsir-story brown stone
house on State street, in tiie city of X:
latny, aud almost within a stone's throw
of the great Capitol, sits, or walks, or re-
dines throughout the day a man of 70
years of age. With hair that is silvery
white, a full bean! that is gray-white, a
form that fit bent and entaciatetL a step
tliat is slow and tottering, and a cheek
tliat is pallid and shrunken his blue
eyes yet full ami lustrous alone indicate
the strength and pride of other tlavs.
This man is John tiodfrev Saxe, the
poet.
The 41.J pt-t is now much changed in
form and feature, lieing a mere shadow
of his former self. iHiringthe first three
years of his resieence in Alliany he speut
some hours caJi pleasant Uiy strolling
ataiut the beautiful park near by, or
tranquilly sitting there in a shady art sir,
watching the children at their play. But
.luring the past two years no public eye
has seen him, for in tliat king interval he
has of his own chtik-e b-en 4-arefuIly st
clmUfl in his room. He neither rides
nor walks abroad. The apartment in
which he spemls his' uielam-holy tLlys
consists of a suite of three rooms. I.n-atcd
in the rear end of the house on the third
H.air, and overlooking the noble Hudson
to the taitith. Here by a a in. low lie
whiles away the most of his time in
watching the busy river craft, anil in con
templating the pkii:-"siiue landscape,
fif street attire he no longer has a nee!;
in dressing-gown am! slippers he paces
the fliair with slow and trembling steps,
seldom ir never going lieyond the con
fines of his own rooms. He prefers to
have perfect quiet alxut him, and often
times dislikes to be disturbed even by a
member of his own family.
It is a king time since he last consented
to receive a stranger, or even a friend .r
acipiainlance of 6 inner days.
" I cannot bear," he said with pathos,
"to lf forcibly remin.U-d of what I out
was of the days of my hoa?. and
strength, when the world had charm
that Uow are tlead to me; before sk kuess
ha.1 deprive. I me "f my health, and
death had mblied me of my kived ones."
In lHNI,on his first coming to Albany,
the emiuent physk-ians whom his family
conmilte. in his behalf predicted that he
would not survive for two years longer.
He 'goes to laed between the hoars of
and 10 o'clock in the evening, and rises
at about half-past six in the morning.
He complains much of insomnia, and
during tiie. ilay . in often very restless,
suffering from neuralgia in the hea 1.
When not sitting in an eay-chair or
moving leisurely about his room, he re
clines upon a coach. He eats often but
very sparingly, and partakes of the
plainest of footL indigestion, being one of
his principal bodily ills. Of his valet, a
m'hl.ile-wge.1 cokired man (who by reason
of prior service with eminent people at
Washington and other places is more
than ordinarily intelligent and entertain
ing) the poet is very fond, chatting with
him now and again with a more tlian f
usual degree of interest and animation, j
- Until quite recently he tievoted a goal

Education.
Wliat in the tiennan system should we
reject? First of alL everything tliat is
necessary indigenous. Many things dis
tinctively Teutonic are not distinctively
intelluctiial. Their primitive barbar
ian instincts are nut vet all dead, tier-
many was tairn in tbe woods am! not
like the Greeks, in cities. The student
corps are indeed aptly named after an
cient German tribvs, am! many nncivili
zed traits perpetuate - themselves therein.
Their gnatsness, their .lilt Is of mutilation,
their Fnihurtutfiynt we nee.1 not imitate.
Secomlly, their politi.-al alwolutisiu
would lie intolerable here. To live and
move and have our being as the police
may please would lie to us a strange
thing. Freedom of thought in (iermany
is certainly not freedom in political
thought, and far less so iu expression of
politi.-il npiuiun. This ailccts university
work insensibly but jajwerfully. It i-ri
plea the political sciences. The (a nt-lip
forces tliat are tiarred from exerting
ilieuiselves naturally in siak-ty and poli
tics, turn more fiercely by reason of this
exclusion tooxtreme individualism, often
to arrogance an.l caprice,! n other spheres
of study. Ik nnan ttwmght is in this
sense centrifugal. Every possible, not
simply probable hypothesis, !eems to be
for ever appearing in its manifold striv
ings. This cramped practical life, with
its consequent .langvr of intellectual ex
cess, gives point to the sharp comment of
our French critic, that no nation in the
world except (iermany tolerates with
such indifference oja-n contrailii"tion be
tween theory and practk. This we net-d
not cipy.
Again, there is much to lie said against
their division and sulaJivision and re
subvision of studies into specialties, and
these again into endless chasings after
uiinutUe, the pursuit of Wsu'ujksiim in ex
clusively microscopic spirit. No matter
how strongly resisted by the advocate of
united as against partitioned faculties,
this tiperates whenever it lias opportunity
towarl disintegrating the whole universi
ty into its fractions, into a merely ka-al
aggregutkm of sptxial schiails. It is, in
faii, no less a man than Hofniann,rvcent
ly Bet tor at Berlin, who recomuiemls
critk-sof Uenuan universities "to take
exception to the alns4 ts narrow limits
within which many instructors contine
their departments.'' How significant
here is the remark of tk-genbaur, one of
their foremost physkilogisti "Tiie ilivis
kms of labor is not to be taken as the di
vision of knowledge."
What then shall we take? Very ninch,
both of thi.ir spirit ami their met In is.
Far more than can be presentcl here
even in outline. We want their thorough
ness and devotion, their untiring toil for
intellectual rewards, their concerted way
of attat king special problems, their un
ending search after yet nndisuovered
knowkdge, their unexanipleil honor
paid to learning ; all this ami more. But
we do not want essentials an.l non-essentials

And She Didn't.
"I hie of the m.wt striking instances if
'm in A cure' I ever saw," said Jifclge W
one tlay, "was exhibited in an old lady
client of mine; but it was a case ot self
cure. Her name was Nort. in. She had
been a second wife. She was in bet! seri
ously ill. an.l sent for me to draw np her
will.'
" I hastened to the hou.- with paper
and pen. I found a table and chair
ready for me at tbe woman's liedside and
in a few moments told her I was ready
to prepare the will if she would tell ine
w liat its provisions were to be. I wrote
the introductory phrase rapidlyiml lean
ing over toward her; sai. 1: "Now go on,
Mrs. Norton.'
" Her yoke was tjoite faint, ami she
seemed to speak with an etfort. She said :
'First of all, I want to give the farm to
my sons, Harry and James. Just put
that down.'
"'But,' said I 'yoo can't do that. Mrs.
Norton ; the farm isn't yours to give
away.' .
The farm isrit mine T she said, in a
voice that was deci.ledly stronger than
betire.'
"Nti, the farm isn't yours.. Yon have
only a life interest in it.'
" This farm, tliat I've run for goin' 4n
forty-three years next spring, isn't mine
to do what I please with it ! Why not.
Judge? I'd like to kmiw what you

"'Why, Mr. Norton your hosbuml

" 'And when I die John Norton is to
have this bouse and farm whether I will
or not T
" 'Just so. .
Then I aint going to die, said the
old woman, in a clear and decidetUy
ringing, healthy voice.
And so saying, she threw her feet
over the front of the btnl, sat up, gather- j
ed a blanket and coverlid about her,
straightened ,up her gaunt form, walked

1 The
President Shoots a Deer.
i Yestenlay the President had a uujst
! thrilling adventure with a tleer. A few
j of these aniuials havelieen placed at rcg-
ular intervals in the vU inity of the Presi-
deut's cottage, in order that he may not
lie disapaiinteI when he goes tsit to
sluait. This is quite English, you know.
When the Iresident sallied forth after
his quarry, his billy-cock hat was tilled
at an angle on the left side of his hea.L
His yellow corduroy punts were tied
tightly around his ankles with a corset
string, and his red shirt shone n-splen-ilent
in the morning sun. It was tied
with a bright green bow.
My dear, you look quite like a dude,"
said Mrs. C, as she gazed in admiration
upou her husliand.
The President smiled. I rather think
this is handsome," lie said, and your cor
respondent jotted down the conversation
in short hand.
Tht;re were only three persons in the
hunting party.
The President carried a gun, the guide
carried a bottle, and Thr imt man car
rieil a notelaaik.
" We leave one dear to dm! n'nuHher
deer.' said th Presklent.
" Ha! ha!" laughed Mrs. CleveUml.
"Ha! ha!" shonte.1 Dr. War-L
"Tinkle, tirntle, tinkle," said a little
cow-bell under a chestnut tree bv the
j fence.
l When the purty started the first deer
j was tie.! to a tree ala.ut a quarter of a
'mile away. At a signal from the guide
t it was liberate.!. Insteatl of hitting
I away as it had la-en trained to do, it run
up in a usist friendly way to the Presi
dent and began to nibble at the green
bow.
'Oh, dear," said the President, pat heli
cally, "this will never doe." You see it
was a little girl deer and didn't know
any lietter.
Half a mile further a place was found
where a deer had been tied ; but, great
heave'ns, it had escared ! The sport was
now getting exciting.
tVepcr and deeper the purty pushed
into the woods. The great trees waved
their anus in joy at having such a dis
tinguished person la-neath their shady
branches. The grass ijuivered in very
ecstacy. The little bir-ls sangsweinly on
the boughs. Your correspomlent ami
the guide t.aik a drink.
At that moment the President saw a
deer k-jning against a tree. Trembling
with excitement, he raised his l.rand-
I new Wim hester rifle and fired six ami a
uHf in rapid s.i.-sk.ti. Each bul-
let entering ttie deer's si.le, hit the ani
mal did mit ni.ive. We rushed to where
it st. sal.
