BOIL IT DOWN.
Whatever you have to say my friend,
Whether witty, or grave, or gay,
cendense ns niuch as ever you can,
And say in the readiest way;
And whether you write of rural affairs,
Or particular things in town,
Just take a word of friendly advice—
Boil it down
For if you go spluttering over a page
\Vhcn a couple of lines will do, ,
Your butter Jo spread so much, you see,
That the bread looks plainly through.
,So when you he:ire a story to tell,
And would-like a littlo renown,
To make quite sure of your wish, my friend,
Boil it down.
When writing an article for the press,
Whether prose or verse, just try
To utter your thoughts in the fewest words,
And let them be crisp and. dry.
And when it, is finished, and you suppose
It is done exactly brown,
Just look it over again, and then
Boil it down.
For editors do nut iiito to print
An article lazily long,
And the general render does not care
Vor a couple of yards of song.
So gather your wits in the smallest space
If you'd Win the author's crown,
And every time you write, my friend,
Boil it down.

Two brothers / lames . and Charles

They swore that late one night about
six months before, as they were walk

mill tilt.); shouted :
'"('he flood, the flood!"
The miller heard the shouts, and had
just time to save himself and his ;
shortly afterward the flood reached the
mill and swept it away. A. merchant
of the viliteou close by swore that _For

Voresier had several times been seen
lurking around' the mill. The miller
further stated that at the tune he dis
charged him, he (Forester) swore lie
would he even with him.
"Ail he destroyed my property be
cause I •discharged hiin for during,
against my wishes, to make love to my
daughter, Amy," concluded he.
Only one person believed Forester to
he innocent—Amy Cluny, the miller's
daughter.
It was twelve at noon, just four years
after the conviction of Forester, when
the door of the State's prison opened to
him. A pale, bowed-down man, whose
eyes were constantly seeking tire ground,
walked down the road towards the ferry
boat. T,ho crowd that stood on the
wharf quickly moved aside as the' man
tottered towards a bench:
" A pardoned convict !" ran iron
iouth to inouth.
Yes, Forester, for it was he, had been
pardoned by the Governor. Four long
years he lia , l toiled in the brick-yard of
the prison. Thoughts of self-destruc
tion often flitted across his weary
mind. Often as he stood near the fur
nace of the brick kiln he thought that
only one hold leap into the roaring
flames, and his misery would be at au
end.
Re had received only two letter 3 du
ring his iuhlu•isonment. One tills from
Amy.
The other letter came from - New York.
It was from a lawyer, andread: "This
is to inform you that Allen Forester,
Esq., your uncle, has departed this life.
He died intestate, and you aro the sole
heir to—." The letter Ivas received
two days before he was pardoned.
,`Fortune avails me nothing, the
world thinks one guilty," cried lie.
" Forester has come back. I wonder
why in the world ho wants to conic to
this place again ; he's rich, and has
threatened to shoot Jim Crocker if he
calls him a convict again." Such - were
the reports that spread over the village
like wildfire. •
At last the news came to the cars of
the miller. With a muttered curse
upon his enemy, as he called Forester,
he ascended the stairs leading to the
second story of the new mill that he
had erected in place of the one swept
away. His steps were noiseless as he
approached Amy's bedroom door. • He
looked through the keyhole. A minute
afterwards he wrenched open the door
and rushed into the room—he had seen
Amy signaling to somebody. As lie
rushed to the window he caught a
glimpse of the figure of a man as lie dis
appeared behind -a projecting elifr—it
was the form of Forester. He caught
hold of Amy's arm.
" Who was that man ? Quick, tell
me," came from between his clenched
teeth.
;gymy uttered n. shriek of pain,
1 te propped her arm and rushed from
the room, but soon returned with a
loaded gun in his hands, and dragged
her to the open window. Tim head of
a man could plainly be seen rising
slowly from bellied the cliff'. Amy
sank upon her kuecs. The miller re
leased her arm and slowly raised his
gun. Ile had recognized the features
of Forester. ,
" Signal :" shouted her father, "so
that call be sure of him. I want to
cltoot hint through his black. heart;"
.& m e rcy 1" shrieked Amy, raising her
hands.
Forester, who only saw Amy, now
crept slowly towards a projecting shelf
of the clill: He did Hot know what
Amy meant day raising her hands.
Soon he stoodt the eXtretne edge of
the cliff', not m ire than fifteen or six

water of the t!anon roared over huge
boulders, and behind was a solid wall
of k g,ranite s twelve feet high. The shelf
was only two feet wide.
"Die convict!" shouted John Cluny.
Forester heard the word "convict,"

" He'6 dead; and I ain't .ft bit sorry
for it either. But what am I going to
do with the body? I can't throw it
over the chile. Well, I guess its best
to stick to my first plan."
The miller took a rope from his pock
et, passed it beneath ' the arm-pits of
Forester and dragged the body to a cave
only known to himself. This cave was
situated clOse to where one end of the
min dam was fastened by means of
heavy timbers to-the cliffs; the open

When Forester awoke from his death
like swoon, darkness was around him.
Painfully he lifted himself upon. his el
bow. Bending aside, the boughs he
saw the glimmer of a lantern which
stood upon the dam close to the sluice

A. look tosvard the dam showed that

his ears—it was the petit up water as it
began to overflow the dam. • He rose to

" Villains !" he shouted. The two
brothers looked up, but saw no one, for
the lightof the lantern was illuminating

work. Again Forester shouted ; and
again they lifted their heads, when
there came a terrible crash mingled
with the roar of the water. Forester
heard a cry of despair, and saw James
Crocker fall headlong over the dam in-
to the seething water below.
With a prayer upon his lips for the
safety of her he loved, he ran along the
narrow path until he came opposite the
mill.

These were Charles Crocker's last

himself, then he breathed his last.
An entire week passed away before
the village doctor pronounced Reginald

rifle of the !Willer had glanced from his
temple. • Iliad made an ugly but not a
mortal wound. His overexertion on
that terrible night had greatly increas
ed his illness, but he gradually regained
his-former health and strength.
Three months after the breaking of the
dam, Amy, her brother, father and
Forester, left California forever.
The andatt has a just claim to the

LANDING A TROUT
\V sat for several minutes in silence,

the water after a butterfly which
chanced to he winging its way across,
the lake, and miss.ing it by only a few
inches, fell back with a splash into the
very ripple he made in rising.

light boat skimming over the water,

pitched the coil into the air, and by
the time it had fairly straightened it

of the leap; missed, as he had before,
and fell inteii flat upon his side.
" Quick, quick ! cast away'!" shouted
John,-as with a stroke of the paddle he
sent the boat sheering ofr to give me
room - for the cast.
Feeling that !here was not an instant
to lose, by a sudden jerk I caused the
fly to mount straight up into the air,
