SAVED BY A HAIR. A very little thing will sometimes save a nion's life, as the following story will show. While reading the evening paper 1 noticed something which interested me atouce. "What's this?" 1 said, us my eyes lighted on a startling paragraph: . "Misrswors Yeanss.—.J. Randolph, one of our oid and wealthy citizens, -was this morning found in his room, having been murdered during the night. Edgar Morton, a clerk in his employ, and who, report says, was soon to be married to his daughter, has been arrested for the murder, and dream stances are said to he strongly against him." Now, although I am usually among the first to hear of criminal news, from the nature of my business, this was the first intimation 1 had received that such a 'mur der had been committed. having been out 01 town during the day. As I had been on the best of terms with Mr. Randolph and Ins' whole family, it occurred to me at once that my advice would be sought. "And so this is the way Edgar Morton repays'his benefactor and the rather of his affianced bride! Yet no! it cannot be. I will stake my life on that young inan's innocence." As I spoke there came a,• gentle tap at the door, followed almost immediately by the entrance of a lady deeply veiled. who at once threw aside her veil, disclosing the face of my deceased friend's daughter, Cecil Randolph. ."Excuse me, Mr. Ferguson, for enter ing uninvited; but urgent business impels me," "Be seated Miss Randolph," I said ris ing and howling her a chair. • "0, Mr. Ferguson !" sne sobbed forth, burying her face in her hands. "That I should ever be obliged to come on such au errr.nd as this!" • I endeavored to quiet her, and partial ly succeeded, when I drew from her what few particulars she knew regarding her fitther's death. "He retired last night, , at his usual hour, apparently in good spirits, and no sound was heard during the night to cause n larm. u ,the morning, as he failed to appear at breakfast, a servant was despatched to summon him. Knocking at the door, and receiving no answer, he finally opened it, and advanced into the room. \That a sight did he then behold ! My poor fath er lay upon his bed with his throat cut from ear to ear! Death must have come to him suddenly--so suddenly as to pre vent an outcry—and the unknown 'assas sin had no trouble in making his escape." "But," Lsaid, "I can't see why any one should suspect Edgar of the murder. - "This is the most mvsllkrions part of the sad affair. When Edgar was told of the murder, he turned very pale, reeled, and would have fallen to the ground had not .support been given him. Some of the ig- Aorant beholders of this scene thought his actions denoted guilt, and an officer was summoned, who at once insisted ou search ing his room. A razor on which there were several spots of blood, was found con cealed under the carpet, together with an old suit of clothes belonging to Edgar, which were bespattered with blood. This was considered sufficient evidence to war rant his arr es t, and he now lies in jail charged with the awful crime of murder. Oh, Mr. Ferguson ! if you can do anything to save him, and at the same time bring the g uilty perpetrator of this deed to jus tice, I will amply reward you." "Do you know any enemies of your father, or of Edgar, who would be likely to commit such a crime,eitbe,r for anoney or revenge ?" I asked. "Oh, sir," she replied, it was not done for robbery; as everything in the room was as father left it betbre. His watch and pocket-book, the latter containing quite a,suni of money, were found under his - pillow, where he itlways placed them, so that the crime must have been commit ted lo gratify tiendis4 for revx:.,ts." A FAMILY NEWSPAPER-DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS. ETC. WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, PA., "Now, then, who of all your acquaint ances could do such a thing?" I cannot possibly say. Father had not an enemy in the world to my knowledge, or Edgar either, unless, perhaps, it might he Conrad Smithley, my poor father's book-keeper and trusty clerk ; but it would be impossible for him to do such a deed." "What reasons have you to suspect that he is not Edgar's friend ?" "Only this: Some time ago, Conrad whom we had always regarded AS one of the family proposed for my head and I told him it was not mine to give. sus pected as much,' he muttered; and then whilst_his face_grew dark, and his features -assumed-an-appearance perfectly fearful, he continued, 'but you shall never become the wife of Edgar Morton while I live to prevent it.' he then wheeled about, and abruptly left my presence. I was consid erably alarmed, and thought of speaking to lather about it; but during the fore noon he returned and begged my forgive ness fur the words he had used, and made such professions of sorrow in regard to them that I freely forgave hiM, and have since thought no more of the matter." - "The fact is quite clear to me," I said, "I know this fellow well and the sort of company he keeps, and I should not be surprised-to-find-Lit-he-coin m itted-the m order. His plan included Morton's ex ecution as the murderer, the possession of your hand and the estate, so there was no motive for small robbery—at least, this is eadina of the case. Now, then, I want to see the body of your father and the room in which the deed was done." "Well, sir . ," she said, rising and pre paring to-accompany—me, "you-will—find everything mit was when first discovered ; the officers concluded not to disturb any ,thing until after the inquest, which takes place to-morrow forenoon !" Wrapping myself in my great coat, we set out, and, after a brisk walk of ten minutes, reached the palatial residence of my companion. I was at once shown to the room of the murdered man, and then beau makinc: such an examination as only a detective knows how to make.— Circumstances of the most trivial char acter, which would be overlooked by an ignorant person, are often siezed upon by a skillful detective, and sometimes consti tute most damning evidence of guilt. In this case, however, everything had been done in the most skillful manner, and I could nut succeed 14 making any discov eries. I was about to leave the room in de spair, when, glancing toward the bed, I noticed what appeared to be a light scratch on the neck of the murdered man, just a bove a gaping wound which had so cruel ly let out his life's blood. On examina tion, I found it to be nothing more than a hair, which had in some manner become loosened from the head of the assassin, and had settled on the neck of the victim, where it now lay, a silent vet truthful wit ness, pointing out the guilty wretch to the eye of justice. The hair was a • deep red color, which was totally unlike that of any of the household. It was, indeed, the same• coloi and shade as that of Conrad Smithley. I placed it in my pocket-book, and say ing nothing to any one of my discovery, started for the residence of Smithley, in tent on doing a little acting: I found him, as his attendant said, ill in bed, and on no account must be disturbed, "Only a ruse," I thought, "to divert suspicion." Stating Stating to the woman that I wanted to see him but for tifew moments on the most urgent business, she finally reluctantly consented to my entrance. I found him lying on a bed apparently in great pain. In my youth I had studied medicine, and was consequently well informed on such matters, and I saw at once with a quick glance ; that he was only feigning sickness. He started up somewhat angrily us I en tered, but I silenced him with a. motion • of my hand. "Conrad Smithley, this is a desperate game you are playing, but it will avail you nothing." "What do you mean?" he exclaimed springing to his feet, his sickness all gone. "fmean that the game is up, and the murderer of John Randolph is discovered." As I had anticipated, he sank into a chair, and burying his face in his hands, sobbed out, "Lost ! lost !" "Do you confess the murder then ?" Recovering himself a little, he gasped, "What proofs have you ?" "Enough to hang you, and nothing but a confession can procure you lighter pun ishment." I then ritpidly detailed to hint the circumstances which led to the convic tion that he was John Randolph's mur derer—his threats, his motives, and final ly the unmistakable evidence he had left of his presence at the murdered man's bedside. The last link in the chain com pletely overwhelmed him. He was not an experienced criminal, and he saw no hope for escape. "I confess , " he said,"now that conceal ment is no longer of use." • , I took him at once into custody, and soon had the satisfaction of seeing him change places with Edgar Morton, who was overjoyed at his release. Conrad Smithley was tried for murder, and knowing that any defense would be useless after his confessionsto me, pleaded guilty and threw himself upon the mercy of the court, which sentenced him to prisonment for life. About a year after, I received an en velope containing an invitation to the wed ding of Cecil Randolph and Edgar Mor ton. who lived long and happily together, and she never ceasect.thanking me that Edgar was saved by a hair. Secret kindneSses done to mankind are RS beautiful as secret injuries are detesti ble. To be invisibly good is as godlike to to be invisibly evil is diabolical, The Lost Found. There was once a happy boy in Liver pool, who went into the water to bathe, and he was• carried out by the tide.— Though he struggled long and hard, he was not able to swim against the ebbing tide, and he was taken far out to sea. He was picked up by a boat belonging to a vessel bound fbr Dublin. The poor little boy was almost lost. The sailors were all very kind to him when he was taken into the vessel. One gave him a cap, anoth er a jacket, another a pair of shoes, and so on. But that evening a gentleman, who was walking near the place where the little boy had gone into the water, found his clothes lying on the shore. lie searched and made inquiries; but no tidings were to be'heard of the poor little boy. Ile found a piece of paper in the pocket of the boy's coat, by which he discovered who it was to whom the Clothes belonged. The kind man went with a sad and heavy heart to break the news to the parents.— He said to the father; "I am verry sorry to tell you that I found these clothes on the shore; and could not find the lad to whom they belonged ; I almost tear he has been drowned." The father could hardly speak for grief; the mother was wild-with-sorrow.—They-caused-every_in quiry to be made, but no account was to be had of their dear boy. The house was sad ; the little children missed their play fellow ; mourning was ordered ; the moth er s 1 ent her time crying ' • and the father's - - 6:117i - lard - litile - bat lie wart was felt much. The lad was taken back in a vessel I und---for-Liverpool,and_arrive(Lou the day the mourning was to be brought home. As soon as he reached Liverpool, he set off towards his fathers house. He did not like to be seen in the strange cap and jack et and shoes which he had on ; so he went by the lanes, where he would not meet those who knew him. At last he came to the hall-door. He knocked. When the servant opened it, and saw who it was, she screamed with joy, and said, "Here is Mm 1T47-Inn " — His father rushed out,, and, bursting into tears, embraced him. His mother fainted ; "there was no more spir it in her." What a happy evening•they all, parents and children, spent! They did not want the mourning. The father could say with Jacob, "It is enough ; my son is yet alive.". But what do you,think will be the re joicing in heaven, when those who were in danger of being lost forever arrive safe ly on that happy shore? How will the angels rejoice, and the family of heaven he glad ! Perhaps when some of you will hereafter go to heaven, your fathers and mothers, or brothers and sisters, will wel come you, and say, "I am delighted to see you safe. Welcome! Welcome!" You will not go there like the boy with a cap and clothes of which he was ashamed, but in geßnents of salvation, white as snow with crowns of glory that fade not away. And what must you do to he ready to en ter heaven when you die ? Think what it is and then do it. Shall we Meet Again ? The following is said to be one of the most brilliant articles ever written by the lamented George D. Prentice. "The fiat of nature is•inexorable. There is no appeal for relief from the great law which dooms us to dust. We flourish and fade as the leaves of the forest, and the flowers that bloom either in a day have no frailer hold upon life than the mightiest monarch that ever shook the earth with his footsteps. Generations of men will appear and disappear as the grass and the multitude that throng the world to-day, will disappear ns the footsteps on the shore. Men seldom think of the great event of death until the shadow falls a cross their own pathway, hiding from their eyes the faces of loved ones whose living smile was the sunlight of their existence. Death is the antagonist of life, and the cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton of all feasts. We do not want to go thro' the dark valley, although its dark passage may lead to paradise ; we do not want to lay down in the damn grave, even though with princes for bedfellows. In the beau tiful drama of lon, the hope of Immortal ity so eloquently uttered by the death-de voted Greek, finds deep response in every thoughtful Soul. When about to yield his young existence as a sacrifice to fate, his Clemantha asks if they should meet again to which he replies—"l have asked that dreadful question of hills that look eter nal— of the clear streams that flow forev er—of the stars among whose fields of a zure my raised spirits have walked in . glo ry. All were dumb; but as I gaze upon thy living face, I feel that there is some- thing in the love that mantles thro' its beau ty that can't wholly perish. We shall meet again, Clemantha.

The sun that smiles on us to-day, Shall shine on graves wherein we lay, A hundred years to come. The world will then, as now, plod on, And none will note that we are gone, A hundred years to come. The eye that sparkles now so bright, Shall then be closed iu death's long night, A hundred years to come. No grief can cause tbe tear to start, Nor joy arouse the silent heart, A hundred years to come. The lips that we now love so well, No word of love nor scorn can tell, A hundred years to come; For all of us will be asleep, Where each tongue must its secret keep; A hundred years to come. All living now will then be dead, And flowers shall bloom above each head, A hundred years to come. Beggars and kings alike will rest, Upen the same fond Mother's breast, hundred years to came. The hea‘rts we trusted will be cold, The-hand - we clasped - be,turned to - mould, A hundred years to come. The feet that from us turned away, Shall rest with ours along life's way, A hundred years to come. Pittsburg, March, 1873. A Detective's Story. A little episode in the life of Detective Beckner i —ot—Newark-,—reads-likP 11 writer's story. Mr. B. was ordered to Ft. Wayne sometime ago to work up a coun terfeiting gang. After much trouble he succeeded in getting admitted to the gang under the name of "Dutch Jim." The Newark Courier tells the rest : Their'headquarters were in one of the cemeteries, where they met nightly, and a partially opened grave in a obscure part of the b_urial_ground,_containen_the_spoils. not only the result of the counterfeiting, but of a number of bold robberies com mitted by the gang. The detective work ed his case well, and was astonished to find that several of the gang were well-known citizens and members of the churches.— Had the gang once, suspected the true character of "Dutch Jim," that shrewd and cunning fellow's life would have been the forfeit. Different ones of the gang were arrested, and always "Dutch Jim," was one of the party "copped," but he managed .(always by the "skin of his teeth," apparently) to be releassd. At last the final blow came—the arrest of the five leaders, and "Dutch Jim" was one. They were on their way to commit a burglary in a neighboring town. Beckner had tel egraphed Government officers to be rea dy, and when the train reached the depot the car which the burglars occupied was boarded by a dozen officers. A fearful' fight occurred, and as it was not yet time for "Dutch Jim," to be made publicly known, he entered into the fight with as much earnestness, to all appearances, as as did his "pals," and he did receive in return some good blows. The ringlead ers were captured, and in company with "Jim and Jersey," were put in cells.— When the day of examination came, "Dutch Jim" was put on the stand, and when he gave as his occupation "Govern ment Secret Service Officer," the counter feiters wilted, the evidence was too strew , to he broken, and the gang was secured.' Beckner has since returned to Newark, and is now on the city force. Independence. The general impression among men that capital alone is necessary to success in business is a false one. We often see men occupying subordinate positions for years and wonder that they have not "struck out for themselves," when, perhaps, they are filling fully the largest space possible for their compacity, and "striking out" would be disastrous to their future. The stretching out of hands for something— anything to do ; the entire willingness to be useful and energetic, coupled with ev en ordinary brains, will procure and com mand capital. If every one desiring it could procure capital other than brains and hands by the mere asking, it would be of little benefit; for experience has shown that nine-tenths of all who have been successful in business life, are those that have started in the race without a ny reliance excepting upon their own head and hands, they have "pulled their own oar from the jump." Every occupation gives field alike for talent, perseverance and industry; and these qualities, wherev er found, will give their owner success.— But a man must not be allured from his course by deceptive appearances, nor be driven from it by adverse gales. He must patiently fit himself for the calling he de serves to adopt, and then pursue his course with steady gait—keeping in view what should be the object of every business man —independence. THAT DEBTS—It 18 a small one to be sure, and apparently not worth a serious thought. Why not then pay it? Why he compelled to suffer the mortification of a dun ? Why not take that little thorn out of your finger at once? It will fester if allowed to remain, and cause ten times the trouble. Why not relieve the con science of that little load? You will feel better for it by so doing. You contracted the debt knowingly and willingly. Did you mean to pay it Certainly you did. then why not do it at once? Every day's delay increases, morally, the amount of your obligation. Remember, too, that your little - debt, and a thousand other men's little debts, make a fortune for your ,creditor—tho poor printer, for in stance, Boys, Listen to This. True as the gospel is the following, said by Robert Collyer of Chicago: "It is true that the working, successful men of -to-day were 'once poor, industri ous, self-reliant boys. And the same will be repeated---for from the ranks of the bard working economical, temperance and persevering boys of to-day, will emanate the progressive prominent men of the fu ture. "Every man doing, any sort of work in Chicago to-day, was raised a poor man's son, and had to fight his way to his place. Not one of them, as I can ascertain was a rich man's son„ and had a good time when he was a boy. All boys should pox as strong as a steel bar, fighting their way on to an education,, and then, when they are ready, plunge into life with that tra ditional half dollar and a little bundle ti- ed in a red handkerchief, as I have known great men to start. I tell you that in five and twenty years, when most of us that are in our middle age have gone to our retribution, the men of mark in this coun try will not be the sons of those whose fa thers can give them e all they wish for, and ten times more than they ought to have, but will be those who are brought up in houses and cottages, cutting their way through. the_ thickest hindrances _of every sort ; and all the brown stone hous of this metrepolis will be as nothing to bring out the noble man." ITEMS FOR THE GENTS.—We are per mitted to_announce in advance a few of the spring and summer novelties in gen tlemen's fashions : Boots will be worn the same as last year—on the feet. Young - men who-are '-hard-up—will - find-no-dif ficulty in trowbers—there is to be no "change" in them: Gents who are addic ted to "setting 'em up" will wear bricks in their hats, on such, occasions. Over coats and wollen gloves will be not en regle in July. Collars will be worn a round the neck as usual—when the ther mometer is under one hundred degrees.— Clean shirts will be sported by young men vh, lks - the' who are not weeks m arrears in .teir washerwoman's. Some youths will stand on the street corners, and some won't.— Those who don't will stand higher in the estimation of the young ladies. Only per sons who have good credit will be able to wear "tick" clothes. No gentleman will smoke in church but some who consider themselves gentlemen will chew tobacco and spit the juice over the floor, which is just as reprehensible. Young men should have two good watches—a strict father .and mother. . Goon-BY. It is a hard word to spetfk. Some may laugh that it should be, but let them laugh. Icy hearts are never kind. It is a word that has choked many an utterance, and started may , a tear. The hand is clasped, the word spoken,:we part and are upon the ocean of lime—we go to meet again, God only knows where.— It may be soon ; it may be never. Take care that your "gourd-by" be not a cold one —it ma n y be the last one . that you can give. Lre you meet your friend again death's cold hand may have closed his eyes and hushed his lips forever. Ah he may have died thinking you loved him not. Again, it may be a very long separa tion. Friends crowd around and give their baud. How do you detect in each good-by the love that lingers there; and bow you bear away with you the memory of these parting words many, many daysl We must often separate. Tear not your self away with a careless boldness that defies all love, but make your last words linger—give the heart its full utterance —and if tears fall, what of it? Tears are not unmanly. CrirsA.—The most wonderful country in the world is China. It contains near ly one-half of the population of the world. The provinces, which are governed by the lieutenants of the Emperor, are larger and more thickly peopled than any , European kingdom. The civilization of China is older than that of Europe, and there is scarcely any so-called modern invention, with the exception of the steam-engine and telegraph, that has not buen in use for ma ny centuries in China. Popular education is more general there than in any other country in the world, and the social struc ture is so firmly and securely established that it seems impossible to snake it in the least. Indeed, the mote one learns con cerning this remarkable country and its inhabitants, the more interesting dues the study of them become. A BEAUTIFUL INctoErr.—Ancient his tory records a beautiful incident illustra ting the power of filial love. In the seige of a certain city, two young men within its walls had rendered great service to the general, through whom it fell into his hands. In return he ordered their lives to be spared, and gave them permission to take with them out of the city as much treasure as they could carry.
