"After raisins, and lemon balls and sugar, and such ; so one day the Squire just made me sit down and eat away at 'ern from morning till night.,. Good Jacob.! never wanted to set eyes n 'cm again.” "A very interesting piece of personal history." said Charles seriously, "but I don't see what it has to do with the subject iu hand." "Don't you see ? if mother had trouble enough and to spare, Just for once, she'd be glad enough to give it a wide berth afterwards." "Tom," said Charley, stopping short In the middle of the road, "you are cer tainly a little ne'er-do-well, ' but there may be something in this plan of yours, after all." - The turkey was smOking on the table brown and crackling and odorous, when the three children returned from church —the tarts were perfect, and tie tum bles of pink apple-jelly, fringed with thistle paper, would have set a city cop fectioncr mad with jealousy. )Vlore over, the Widow had opened a bottle of nine-year old currant wino to cele• brate the close of the banquet, to say nothing of the stone pitcher of crystal clear cider that sparkled besi it. " There—set up, children,' said the Widow as she arranged the last pum kin. pie in its-allotted corner. "I haint no appetite to eat." Tom dropped his knife and fork. Susan 'looked up dismayed. • "Mother," cried Charley, "we can't eat a mouthful unless you sit down to, the table with us." " sit down, then,—but I couldn't swallow—my troubles has clear taken away my appetite." q_the Widow, sat,down, like a raven, in bombazine andclear-starchedlmuslin, and brooded sorrowfully above the ban quet. " And now, mother," said Susy, seri ously, after the Thanksgiving meal had been done ample justice to, "are you ready to hear the news I wished to tell you "Yes ; I e''pose - I'm ai ready as ever I shall be," said Mrs. Spencer, dolorously. "There goes one of my best tumblers smash on the hearth—nothing but Ill luck comes to me. Oh, dear, I , don't see much use in livin.'

What ie t) become_, of us?"' " I don't know," said Susan, with a sort of gloomy obstinacy. "You always said we were hunted down by ill-luck, mother, and I believe you were _right. And this is not the worst of it: `Squire Piai Liu ri,*t boroomoncy out Or the store, and believes Tom took it, and Tom is never to show his face there again." "It's a lie," screamed Mrs. Spencer,— "my Tom is honest as the day is long. My Tom wouldn't touch a sixpencetiaat don't belong to him." "That may be," said Susan, "but ap pearances are against him ; and Tom's character just as much blasted as if he had in reality been the thief." Mrs. Spencer wrung her hands. Come.here, Torn, my poor, persecu ted boy, she sobbed. "I know you to be no thief, and your old mother'll stand by you if all the rest of the world should turn away." " As for me, mother," said Charley, gloomily, I've left my place at Harker & Co.'s, and I've made up my mind to try my fortune, at the silver mines in Nevada." " Lett your place at Harker's? Char ley; are you crazy ? And , such a nice place as it was, with a fair chance for promotion." " Can't help that," said Charley, shrugging his shoulders. "Who wants to spend his life -in a plod-along old hole like that? I want a• little adven ture, and Stocks and lgerriman are going out next week. 'P " !The worst characters' 3x the vil lage," pleaded the widow, eagerly. "Oh, Charley, my son, don't go with them— stay with your old mother, for pity's sake. I'd rather see you in your grave than mixed up with such a set, my boy." But Charley sat sullenly, looking into the tire, paying no heed to the piteous appeal. You wouldn't talk so, mother, if you knew how necessary it was to make money. The C—hank shut up last night." The bank where all our little sa vings were,—oh, my son, what are we to do ?" " What other people , do, of course, when trouble comes upon them." " But I never had anY, trouble before, at least not since your poor dear father -died. And now it has all come at once. • "Never had any trouble, mother?" repeatO Charley, significantly,—"why, it was only,this morning you were com plaining that you neve r had anything else," " But I didn't real4e what I was sayin," wailed Mrs. •Spencer, rocking herself backwards and forwards. "I was temptin' Providence in my :oily and ill-temper! Oh, dear, if I could only eeithy way clear through this real troUble, I never would fancy any more trial's!" "Ai r e yod sure of that ,mother 1" ".Yes, sure; but 'it's too late now. I've had a lesson I've had a bitter lesson. Oh, why, didn't I know how well off I was before ?" ' " Charles looked at Siisy.

" Well, I never!" was all that the astounded widow could find breath to exclaim. "Married to Elnathan Wyllisl ,why he's the smartest fellow ,in the township.n ".I. know it, mother," fluttered busy ; "and uh, I am so happy I" "And I, too,- have been deceiving you, my poor little mother," said Char ley, with a roguish twinkle In his eyes. "I've no: idea whatever of 1;0114 to Nevada, as long as Harker & Co., con tinue to be the kind patrons and friends they have hitherto proved !" The widow looked from one to the other of her laughing children in a sort of happy bewilderment. " Well, now," she said slowly, "will you inform inc why on earth you told me those awful stories?" " Why, mother," said Tom, mischie vously, "we thought perhaps a dose of ma/ trouble would cure you of the imaginary ones that have made you so miserable,all your life long!' " And you have solemnly promised us, mother, that after this you would conjure up no more fancied trials to make yourself wretched !" coaxedSuay. " Well, I don't see but what you've got me, tight." said the , widow, half disposed to laugh, half inclined to lie vexed. "Aint you 'shamed o' yourselves children, to go and play such a mean trick on your poor old mother? But do say or't, there be worse troubles lii the world than I've got 1" The widow's Thanksgiving lesson proved an efficacious one. She never grumbled any more. • " Mother always sees the sunshiny side of things hew," :said Tom, "and ain't it jolly ?" Tem was right ESCAPE : I RO/II JUSTICE _____ Itiwas a bitter cold night in January —a night when homeless wanderers on the moors might have sunk down and froze to the earth, and the very marrow seems to congeal in one's bones. " There is one advantage in steam," growled a fat old man in the corner seat " wind and weather don't aflect it. No flesh and blood horse could stand a night like this, but the iron horse keeps right ahead, whether the thermometer is at zero or water boiling heat." Just then the conductor entered. "'Tickets, gents, if you please." "It's a dreadful night, conductor." I said, feeling with stiffened fingers for my ticket in the breast pocket of my coat. "Dreadful," feelingly responded the conductor. "Why, the brakesmen can't live outside, and so I look the other way when they creep in, poor fel lows, to get a breath of warm air at the stove. We haven't had such a night since a year ago come the 2d day of February, when Tom Blakeslee the baggage-master, froze both his feet, rind a woman who was coming • from Chic ago got off at Blinn's Four .Corners with her baby lityheratins a corpse!" " Frozed to death 7" " Aye, frozen to death ; and she nev er thought, poor' thing, but that it was asleep. " Ly b4by's cold," says she, ' but we'll soon. twarm it when we get home.' It was just such a night as And the conductor opened the door and plunged across the coupling, hito the next cal., crying out: Hardwick l" It was quite a city, with a handsome iron depot, Baring gas lamps, and the usual crowd around the . platform, with hands in pockets, and cigar ends . tam ing through the night. Our car was nearly the last of the long train, and but a single person en tered It—a slender young girl wrapped in gray blanket shawl, and wearing a neat little traveling hat of gray straw. h e seemed to hesitate like one unused to traveling, and nuttily sat down near the door. " Pardon me, young lady," said I, " but you bad better come nearer the stove." - She started, hesitated a moment and • obeyed. " Does this train go to Bayswater ?" she asked in a voice deliciously soft and st,veet. " Yes ; can I be of any service to you? "Oh, no—at least, not until we reach Bayswater-1 would like a carriage there." " We shall not reach there for three I,IIOUI'S yet. " Do, we stop again ?" , "Only at Exmouth." She drew a deep sigh, seemingly of relief, and settled back iu a corner. By the light of the lamp I could see her face—that of a i lovely child ; apparent ly she was not more than sixteen, with large blue eyes,igolden hair drawn away from her face, and a little rosy mouth, like that of a baby. • • " Do you expect friends to meet you 'at Bayswater, my child?" I asked lu ,oidentally. " .NO, sir—l am going to school there." " It will be an awkward hour for you to arrive by yourself—one in the morn ing." • "Oh, I am not she a e „ - . afratu,l she said, wits. an artless laugh ; ” I shall go straight to the Seminary." 11 So the express train Ihundered on, with steady, ceaseless pulsing at its iron heart, and constant roar. Suddenly the s'gnal whistle sounded, the train began t slack its speed. Surely we're n t at Exmouth yet, I thought, unless have fallen unconsci ously asleep and, allowed the progress of time to escape * me. I glanced at m watch ; it was barely half past eleven, and I knew we were not due at Exmouth until a few minutes past twelve. I rubbed- the frost from the window pane and looked out. We had stopped at a lonely little, way station in the midst of the dense pine woods. " as this Exmouth ?" ' It was 'the Soft voice of the pretty traveler opposite. _ "No; don't know what place it is— same way station." " Does this train stop at way stations? "Not generally; they must have been specially signaled here. You are cold, your voice trembles." " It is cold," she said, in a scarcely audible voice, drawing her shawl around her. Oh, how I wish they would bur-, ry on I" Conductor"—for the man of tickets was passing through the car—" mhy did we stop at the backwoods place?" "Out of water," was the reply, as he hurriedly passed by. Now 1 knew perfectly well that this .answer was not the true solution of the matter. Our delay .had not exceeded half a minute altogether too short a 'time for replenishing the boiler; and where on earth was the water to come from in that desolate stretch of barren woods? - Five minutes after the conductor re entered the car, and I made room for him by my side. " Sit' down, conductor, you have noth ing to 4:lo this minute." " What did you msan by telling me Such d lie just now ?" I spi_ilte under my breath; he replied in the same tone— " About what ?" ;•• "About the reason you stopped a short time ago." lie smiled. "To tell you the truth, I stopped to take- a single passenger—a gent' inan has come down from Bayswater." "F or the pleasure of traveling once more - over the same mute?" " Exactly, sir, for, the pleasure of traveling it in certain society. Don't be alarmed for your own safety—it's a detective policemau."

He sits by the door yonder, with a ragged f,..r cap pulled over his eyes. Did you ever see a more perfect specimen . of the dilapidated countrymau I smiled; I could hardly help It. What is the case V 'A murder—a man and his wife and two children—thbir throats cut last night and the house set Ore afterwards.' Great heavens, whatA monster!' We bad continued the conversation in a whisper, scarcely above our breath, and now the conductor Tow) and left me to study the faces of. my fellow passen,- gers, with curious dread and horror. Somehow, often ns I revolved the matters in my mind my. fancy would settle on a' coarse cross-looking nutn opposite, with a bushy beard, and a shaggy wool coat, with the collar turn ed up around hiQears. I felt convinced that this man, With the brutal eyes, and the heavy banging jaws, was the Cain and as I looked Juni vely acros, I caught the wide open, blue orbs of tille fair lit tle girl. Obeying the instaneOus lenpulse of my heart, I rose and went over to her. You heard what we were saying, my little one?' • " Yes—murder—oh, how horrible) ' 'Do not be frightened—no one shall curt you.' She smiled up s in my face with sweet confiding innocOnee. Our stay at Exmouth was but brief but durin. , e the delay I cotlld see that the detective had changed 13ps seat to one nearer the brutish man In the shaggy coat. V' See,' faltered the young girl they lOcked the doors at Exml•uth : they are unlocking them now.' She was right.. Probably they were fearful that the criminal would escape,' I remarked in au undertone. ' Will you—may I troubieyou to bring me a glass of water ?' I rose and made my way (towards the ice cooler by the door, but with diffi culty for the train was again under rapid motion. To my disappointment the goblet was chained to the shelf. ' No matter,' said she, with a winning smile, I will come myself.' I drew thci water and hell the cup; but instead of taking it as She approach ed, she hr,bshed suddenly past me, opened the 'door and rushe - d - out upon the platforill. `Stop her ! stop her l!' shouted the de tective sprhiging to hl's feet. 'She will be killed; conductor-4rakesman—hold up.' There was a rush—a tumult--a bus tle; I was the. first upon the platform ; but it was empty and deserted, save by a half, frozen brakestuan, who seemed horror-stricken. horror-stricken.

The train was stopped, and a paity o: us, led by the conductor and detective, went back' to search for any trace of the beautiful young creitiare, whose loveli ness and apperaut,.linnocenco had ap pealed to nay sympathies so earnestly. Nor was it long before we found her. lying quite dead by the side of the track, filghtfully mangle:. by the force of the fall, and mutilated almost beyond rec ognition. ' Weil she's escaped justice in this world, if not in the next," said .the de tective, gloomily, as he stood looking upon her remains. I ' Do you suppose she expected: J:0 be able to spring off the moving train withent injury ?' I asked. ' Without much injury—yes; women are such unreasonable eratM - es.

And when, in the next morning's pa per, I read the account of the. murder ess, I thought of the slender creature's blue eyes and rose-bud mouth with a strange, pitying thrill at my heart. REMEDIES FOR POISONS.—Cases of poisoning often occur in which life might be saved, and hours of agol* averted, if we only knew what to do in season. If a poison burns the throat and acts violently upon the stomach, swallow half a pint of sweet oil, or melted butter or lard and, within Aye minutes, take half a pint of warm NO ter, in which has been stitred a tea 'spoonful' of ground-mustard and salt. The oil arrests the action'of the poison, and the mustard, and salt"cp.uses vomit ing. If the poison swallowed does hot burn the throat and act with instant violence, but causes sickness, stupor:or faintness, swallow the whites of three reggs ; also a quantity of the strongest coffee it is possible to make, and in a few minutes take the warm water and ti # i must rd and salt as before mentioned. An inent physician . says that with pro ; pt use of oil, and white of eggs and stroi,g coffee, and the emetic las above illre ,ed, the fatal result of any poison like ylo fall in the way of man or child, May be always averted. These reme dies are, in themselves, harmless, and might all be taken into the stomaci once, in any quantity without dais, to the system; and they are things we alw , tys' have at, hand, But w using these things doil't fail' to send a physician. And above all, and of all, don't have any poison aroun . • Most' people are twei-faced. Ne rly all of us, no doubt, regard ourselve' ne exceptional to any such statement. Nu matter what other people map A:— whether two, t cc, or a dozen sidti— we fancy ourselves open, honest, frank. einecre..lf so, we are stalling ourselves with a fiction.
