hours-drew out their slow length; and
still the two remained mute and motion•
less, - trying . to realize an I hear this
strange fortune. Day break' steeling
in, and the sound of the farmer's heavy
wagon in the yard, roused them at last,
and poor Ned, unable to meet the cheery
voics and face of his father, stole away
to his.room, leaving Katie to tell the
Deese.
It is impossible to describe the far-
Mer's wrath. Hot words of burning
indignation poured from hia.lips, and,
for the first time Katie heard an oath
from her father's lips, as he cursed
Jim Willis for his miserly. cruel heart.
Then mime gentler thoughts. . Stisy,

Katie in his heart, lest, carried away

grief conquered every other, and! the
old man strode up the narrow staircase
to his son's door. It needed just such
fatherly tenderness as - he brought to
. win Ned from his tearless agony to the
relied of tears and speech, and far into
the - morning the two sat talking of this
har4 turn in fortune.
The morning duties 'called - them
down, and Katie's heart ached over her
brother'suntouched breakfast, it .was
'comforted by seeing how deep was his
father's sympathy.
Days passed, and weeks, and Ned
tried to bear his sorrow like a man.
There was' no want of sympathy at
home, where the loving eyes watched
his pale , cheeks with a tender interest
that was almest,painful, and the brave
heart that wofild have given Susy its full
wealth of love, was generous to the
home circle, and for its sake tried to
live down the pain of disappointment.
I know to be a proper hero Ned shotild

spleen in some new life. Bat Ned'e
heroism had
.a strong element in his pare
Claistian faith, which taught bun to do
as he would be done by, to honor his!,
father, to bear his cross patiently; and - .
so, if his merry whistle had ceased, his
voice gradually resunied its clear cheer
fulness, and his manner grew doubly
tendeii toward . Katie, as he marked , her
sympathizing love. Not' a word drop
ped fr'Om any of them that could give
one
some
of reproach to Susy, and
some vague ideas of a rescue occasion
ally suggested theinselves to Neti,where
his love might win her from her father's
tyranny, or melt his obstinate resolve.
The idea that Susy could ever be his
wife without that couseut,never occurred
to him.
The winter had set in liefore one word
of the fugitives reached Allentown, then
Katie had a treasure to show, a letteri
from Buil—
'‘DEAu, DEAR KATIE' (so it reati), I

Five years passed, and no word came
rom Cincinnati. Katie was a wife now,
and mother to a bouncing boy crawling
about, the floor, but Ned was true as
steel to his old love. No word of court
ing had ever passed his lips since Susy
left him, and. if 'hie' tall figure had de-
veloped to .maaliness, his voice groin

Katie's new cares had somewh t cloud

in the farm-house. . .
There was , something very ;touching

WHMI MARKSKEN MISS. , L-This 18 a
French .story: It is a well-known fact
that the best marksman's aim is often ,
unsteady when he has an animatod tar
gekopposite him. One of these "crack"
shots was showing off his skill before a
numerous company, and the ground
was soon strewn with the remnants of
the plaster figures he had successfully"
brought down. All present were in rap
tures -except one spectator, standing
apart from the rest, who after each shot
ob4r7ed in a perfectly-audible tone:
"He would not do as much if he had a
man facing him." .
This xemark, several tines repeated,
at last so exasperated the performer that
he turned toward the speaker and in
quired if he would be the man to lace
him.
"Certainly," was the reply, "and
what is more, you 'may have the first
shot."
As every ono was curious to witness
the result of this singular dUel, the wicole
party adjourned to the Bois _de Vin
cennes, and, the world being gitee, the
herb of the shooting-galley fired and
missed. His adversary shrugged his
shoulders and fired in the air.

walked away as unconcerned as nothing

instance of sorrow in Ireland for the
death of Preside - at Garfield:
"I visited a cottage the other day,
and I remarked on the door-posts some
morning trappings, and expected to find
inside the dead. But no! In answer to
'who is deld?' a chubby lad said 'the
King?' I said. 'why,• Garfield,• be ro
plied. And then he added, 'Sly father

'Bat one scene is deeply felt here,
when poor Mollie and her , father had
the last sad interview. Mention but ber

A IIErMAWED SMALL Bor.—A_ fearful_
exam pie of criminal precocity is afford

child - of three and a half yeas The
following extracts from Denies exami

will show the horrifying cold
bloodness with which he admitted the
commission of the crime. On being,
asked how he despatched his victim he
answered,—
'I killed bids intentionally: I got bins
to, come and play with me. He fol

first, and then I led biro near the edge.

jumped down after him, beat and kick

him off with a stone.' -

'Because I 'hated him for having mi•

On a question being put sato whether
he felt no regret or pity on seeing the"
murdered boy struggling in the agonies
of death, the prisoner, who appeared
greatly surprised at such a query, an

on being further Ibterrogated, that
not even the fear Of 'the. police would
have deterred him, as his desire was to
