h few dayssince a lady, evidently in deep
grief, applied to the Chief of Police to take
some steps for the reformation of her son, a
lad of 14.1 She frankly confessed he was ad
dicted to the worst habits, and had got far
beyond her control. She wished him sent to
the House of Refuge, or, in the event that
could not . tie. done, to prison or anywhere,
so that a check could be put upon his vicious
career. He • had possessed himself, she said,
at different times, of large sums of money
belonging to herself and boarders, and at the
time of , the lagt — evasion had carried away
with him near4y a, hundred dollars. The
Chief gave orders for his arrest, and on Tues
day morning lie was brought to his office.
The mother was sent for, and, all her love
for him aroused, approached him as only a
mother can,-,. She wanted hiri to 'promise
her to reforin,"and she would forgive all the
past. Imagine her surprise when the young
out-law turned upon her and declared he
never saw her before. She was mistaken in

" You arc not in earnest ?"
" Yes, I aim" -
" And you deny your own mother I"
" I don't know you —I Am not your son."
Just then the Chief, who had been an
amused observer of the young trillion's
affrontery, interposed:
" Madam, yon only wished to procure - the
arrtst of your son. As this is not the per
sou, and as I know him, to be a thief, I'll
have the Recorder send him to prison for six
months."
, The mother,-perceiving the drift of the at

air, was turning away, when the youth-, not

looked up into his mother's face and, as if a
sudden re!ollection had come to him, said:

he is, he sits down and writes the young
lady the particglars of the unhappy turn
which had taken place in his fortunes, as
suring her that if the fact produced any
change of feeling- toward him, she was re
leased from all the promises she had made
to him. And what does she do, the dear,
good girl ? Why 61/e takes a himp of pure

Niagara River, Western Ncw. York, has.
used one simple method with great success.

with a syringe throws it up into all parts of
the trees, branches and trunk. It will effec

that are either infesting the tree. in nests or
running over the bark. Trees treated in
this manner were exceedingly healthy, beau

a smooth, glossy bark, and bore the best ap
