A pieca tf s&xno kind was being performed; but, after listening for a few my mtjiiiui> i</??xv uic uaiix uv uc < old setae when I went to see a comedy [i which turned out to be the most fearful | tragedy I ever looked upon. .'Itwas an cxeic.iingly full night at the I theatre, and though we reached the doors i in pret ty .good tiuie, we were after a great i manj-iuore. and had to go slowly up the I great .corkscrew et.lirease. crowded with good-teiapere I people, laughing and push- i ing their way up. Twice over I felt dis- i posed to give it up; but I thought the child would be bo disappointed, and I kept on, i taking her upon iny kick at last, when the crowding was worte, and at last getting past the paybanier, an I burning up the endless steps. There was a regular sea of heads before me when I stood at last looking for a favorable spot; and coon finding that taking a seat meant seeing nothing of the performance,*! continued to wedge my way along between two rows of f eats occupied by people loud in their pioiestvtions that there .was no room, till 1 fi-und a standing-place ( in front of one of the stout supports of the | upper gallery?a pillar that I have always | ,thought oI aiucc as ;n? saving ot my me. j I am not going to discuss whether the- j atres are good or la ' places, but I know , that night the gre.it st enjoyment I had ; was in witching my Utile girl's animated < countenance as her eyes rested upon the j handsome chandelier, now ujon the boxes j .full of \rell-drcssea p<-r>ple, then lialf-danc- ( ing with delight at tin ?tr uns from the or- . xnestra; while Lei- dv'ight Lordered almost j upon excitement wik-u tl?i curtain drew up j .and a showy piece wf.s performed. Huadreds mint have been turned from the doors that fiigi.t. for, excepting in the principal parts ot the house, there was not | standing room, while the heat was fright- | ful. In our poor part of the house we had , been wedged in till there xv.is not a vacant ( .gpot to be aoen, while between the acts the j men and women, with their baskets of apples and oranges, tame forcing their waj through, and always terribly angry with j me, as I s!ood leaning against my pillar, j for being in their way. j All at once'I tin ned all of a cold shiver, j and then the blood.seemed to run back to < my heart, wliilo my luuija w?re wet with , perspiration; foi^uite plainly I had smelt that unmistakable odor of burning wood. | I looked about me; all was as it should be? ( people were eating, drinking and laughing, ( tho curtain was down, and the orchestra ? 5eUUlU? UUb iVd MI CiJ "Fancy," thought I to myself; and I ? leaned back againbt my pillar once more, resting my hands upon my child's shoulders, a3 we stood there, exactly opposite the center of the stage, and consequently as far from the doers as possible, while the tecollection of that tremendous corkscrew staircase made me shudder again; and, fancy or no fancy, I took hold of the child's arm, meaning to force myself through the crowd and get out. Once I nearly started, but hesitated, thinking how disappointed she would be to ? 1 XL . L -C iL. t leave wneu iuc pest park ui liw perioral. j once was to come; twice I was going, and j so hesitated for about five minutes?just 1 long enough to enable me to reach the staircase and begir running down. Jusi ( five minutes; and then, smelling the fire ( once more, I grasped the child's arm, said, "Come along," and had made two steps, -when I saw that I was too late, and dashed j back io where I had stood a minute before, ( by the.pillar. , I<won't-o&ll>it presence of mind, for feai ( of being considered vain; but I felt sun j that, if I wished to save my child's life, nn place was by that pillar in t'.ie center, for 1 1 knew the peoj la would rush right and left .1 towards the doors at the first alarm. And now. wliat made me start back Why, the sight of several people hurrying : toward the door; of one he;e and anothei | tllere starting up and liking anxioush arourd, as if aware ot' con ing danger; ol people whispering together, and anxious ? faces beginning to 3ltow aii ong those which smiled. Then came a d' ad p.uue; the band had ceased playing, and the musicians were hurrying out through the door beneath the * among the curtains of the private boxes. The audience had all gone from tho other parts of the house, but men were darting j out of the orchestra door, bringing with | them loads of anything valuable they could j reach trom tue names. In front of the gallery still sat the old! man leaning over the railings, and, with a half-dread upon mo that something was wrong, I hurried buck and shook him heavily, when I started back in horror as he fell across the benchcs, turning up the most hideously distorted face I ever saw, as Jie lay evidently in a lit from fright. The flames were coming nearer and nearer, and tho smoke grew more and more stifling. The anxiety to be out of this hor rible place was intense, but I could not go and leave a fellow-creature helpless in such place; so oace more making my way to tho open door, I sat down tho child close by the women, leaped back from bench to bench, and somehow contrived to bear the old man and draw him to tho top of the staircase, where I staggered against the trill, overcome with dread, for the child was gone. "Had she been taken down the gtaiis?" I asked the women, and shook them roughly to get an answer; but the; were quite insensible. It was too much to boar, and I dashed down the staircase, up stage, upsetting their music-stands as they went. Still, people did not move, but seemed wondering, till right at the top ibove the curtain there was a faint flash of iglit, and a tiny wreath of faint blue' smoke, ivhen a shriek, which rang through the K-hole place, was heard?the most horrible, iespairing cry I ever heard?a cry which icted lite a shock to every soui present, md unlocked their voices; for, before the ije had seen another flash the whole audi>nce was afoot, shrieking, yelling, and swaying backward and forward in a way nost horrible, and never to be forgotten. Bex doors crashed as men flung them open md the hurrying crowd in the passage lashed them to again, making tiie people ihriek more than ever, a3 they fancied hemselvcs fastened in. First one and then another man rushed 'rom behind the curtain upon the stage, noving his arms and speaking; but they night as well have shouted to a storm, as he cry of "Fire!" rang through the house md people tore toward the doors. Self, iolf, self, seemed to be the only thought, is mra clambered into the upper gallery, >r dropped down intc? ours. Scores climbid down into the Loses; hundreds dashed rantically ahjag, trampling others inder foot, a\ii even clambering over the icads of the dense, wedged-in throng, trying to rgach the doors; but all hindering )qc (mother.. It would have been a madman's act; but [ wanted to run too, and be one of the surging crowd?to be in action ai a time when jne's blood ran cold to hear the horrible groans and shrieks of the frightened mob, wedged into a mass, ironi v.-men now ana then a horrid cry rose from a poor wretch beaten down and trampled under foot. I closed my eyes for a moment, but I could see plainly enough the horrors that were joing on upon that staircase; and yet I aad to fight hard against not only self) but the mob that swayed backwards and forward post uie, some making for one ioor, and sonic for the other, perhaps only to return again shrieking with horror; while more theu one, in climbing over the rails in front of the gallery, fell hea lloug into the pit. As soon as I had beun able to collect myself a little, I had caught hold of my child, ind laid her at lull length beneath the nearest seat; and there she lay, too terrified to move, while people leaped from seat to seat, over and over her, and I all the time clung desperately to that pillar where I had stood all the evening. More than once I was nearly dragged away, but it acted as a break to the violence of the onslaughts, and whichever way the crowd :amc I sheltered myself behind it. I felt that it, was madness to try and get jut; though, had 1 been alone, 1 should save tried to reach the pit by climbing from tier to tier; but with a child it was mpossible. My best plan seemed to be to 'ollow the example of a gray-haired old nan who wa3 holding on uy tue railings n frout of the gallery, and calmly, to all ippearance, watching the progress of the ire; though I shut' iered as I saw tlie progress it was making; the curtain was iropping in fiery flakes upon the stage. scenery and woodwork were falling, enisling down; while from over the chanderlier in the centre cf the ceiling a red glowing Light kept playing, towards which the smoke from the stage 'ioated in wreaths. Crash! crash! crash! wings and flies kept falling upon the stage, now from back to front one b< ze, from which tlio sparks, like a golden whirlwind, rushed up imid the smoke, while the roar became iercer and fiercer as the currents of air rushed toward the body of the flame, and fanned it into fresh fyry. The glow now "ell upon my face, and I turned to fly 'or there seemed greater danger in staying ;han in attcmptirg to escape; for the jallery was now r-oavlr empty, though the jvivo, ahouts and groans from the staircase ivere still awful. I had already leaped over two or three jenches, when I remembered the child, and lashed back to drag out the little trembling iiing, pale andjhalf stifled with tho crawling unoke which spread through the place. Hie next monir nt 1 had her on my back, md hurried to the light-hand door; but lere the struggling and turmoil was fcarul, and I turned and made my way to the )ther, climbing over the broken-<?own barker at the back of the gallery, beneath irhich lay two women groaning.

Many years ago there lived in Tolland, Conn., Judge West, who had been a magistrate for many years and was also elected to the Connecticut Goner.il Assembly. One day as the J udge was in his lield plowing, having an ox team with a boy for a driver, a mau came in great lias to with no hat on, coat badly torn and looking as though he had fared hard in a hand-tohand encounter. The Judge, who conjectured what was the trouble, kept on plowing merely asking: ~ nt.,*., 9 v "tVJliltia l/iic uia.wi, num . ... seem to be in a hurry." "Matter enough," said Nate, following along; "you see, we hud a little fuss, liil, Jones and me, down a* the tavern. He in suited me, and beca me I relented it, h; pitched izi and nearly half killed ine as yoi see. Now, I want you to give me a writ." "Can't do it," said the Judge. * . I I I "VI mil 1 .1 1M." -mm "I 'won't stand the abuse of that rascal ^nes any longer," said Nate, "and I must have a writ" "If you had been at homo about your business," replied the Judge, who still kept on plowing, "you would have had no trouble." "If you don't give mo a writ, I'll have you brought bet ore your betters," said Nate, thinking to accompliiu his object by a threat. "Whoa!" said the Judge. "Boy give me that whip." The Judge, wlio was a powerful man, gave Nate a good whipping and resumed his work as though nothing unusual had happened. Smith was hardly out of sight before a n an came pulling and bliving from another direction. "What's the matter with you, Jones ?" said the Ju.lge. "The matter is," said he, when he got his breath, "I've been assaulted and abused by Nate Smith at the tavern, and I want a writ for his arrest." . "What business had you to bo at the tavern ? If you had been about your work, at home, Smith would not havo troubled you." "Give rue a writ or I'll have you. before your betters before night," "Whoa! Boy, give me the whip." The Judge gave Bill a sound thrashing with the ox whip a:ul went on with his work. After going around the field oncc or twice, the .1 udge stopped and delivered himself of the following : "Well, John," said he, addressing the boy, "I declare, 1 believe X have broken the law! But I've done those rascals justice, anyhow." Jt is, perhaps, needless to add that Judge West was not "brought before his betters." A SHIP CANAL ACROSS CAPI5 COD. II me Old pi'OJt'UI 01 luaamg iv oui^ uuuu across Capo Cod is under vigorous discusI sion at Bos'. jn, the Legislature having re. | cently granted an extension of time to the company in which to complete the work, and several New York capitilists having promised to r..ssist the Boston men concerned in the enterprise. The company has a nominal capital of $1,000,000. Thej want to begin operation within a year anil, if they do, tho contract for constructing the canal will be given to European parties. The entire cost will be nearly $5,000,000. The valley through which the j canal is to pass is North of tho town of I ?i...?,l nvfnnris from shorn to shore. OiUlu>wi'i>> # a distance of seven and three-quarters miles, and in a direct line from tho waters of Barnstable Bay to those of Buzzard's Bay, about six and seven-eights miles, and tho general direction of the course being | Northwest and Southeast. The canal is j intended for the tow boats and barges, but will also be of sufficient capacity to take I all vessels now engaged in tho coasting | trade around the cape. It is claimed that { the canal would reduce the distance by the Vineyard Sound routa nearly eighty miles | and fully one hundred and forty miles by I the outside route arotm l Fishing Rip. COLO WIMTRS IN KUROPE. | In 401 the Iil.?k S-m was entirely frozen | over. In 763 not only the Black Sea, hut the Straits of D.ircl melles, wore frozen over; jtnesnowin some plucesrose fifty feet high. | In 822 the great rivers of Europe, the Danj ube, the Elbe, ?c., were frozen so hard as 'to bear heavy wagons for a month. In 8G0 the Adriatic was frozen. In 991 everything ; was frozen, the crops totally failed, and i famine and pestilence closed tfio year. In ! 1067 most of the travelers iu Germany were ! frozen to death on the roads. In 1131 the |Po was frozen from Cremona to the sea; j the wine sacks were burst, and tho trees j split by the action of the frost, with iin mease noise, In 1236 the Danube was j frozen ,to tlie bottom, and remained long in that state. In 1316 the crops wholly failed in Germany; wheat, which some years before 6old in England at 6s. the quarter, rose to ?.2. In 130S tho cropB failed in Scotland, and such a famine ensued that the poor were reduced to feed on gross, and many perished miserably in the fields. The successive winters of 1-132-3-4 were uncommonly severe. In 1368 the wine distributed to the soldiers was cut with hatchets, Hn 1683 it was excessively cold. Most of tho hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, tho ice of which was eleven inches thick. In 1709 occurred the cold winter; the frost penetrated the earth three yards into the ground. In 1716 booths were erected on the Thames. Iu 171-1 and 1745 tho strong | est ule in England, exposed to the air, wag covered, in less than fifteen minutes, with ice an eighth of an inch thick. In 1809, and again in 1811, the winters wero remarkably cold. In 1814 there was a fair on ! the frozen Thamca. A PROFITABLE PENITENTIARY. The annual report of the Penitentiary of Ohio makes the most satisfactory exhibit j of any similar institution in the country. I The legislative act of 1867 provides for the j hiring or letting of convicts by the Board jof Directors, the manner of letting and making awards, &e. The total number of convicts hired to contractors for the fiscal ! year was 673, at an average prico of seventy-eight cents pcnLiy, which yielded $163,' 6-14.83 income to t.lin m-ison?leavinc a cashbalan cof $22,2S6.57 over all expenses. The dii ?:.ory, in reporting the year's work, states tli.it since 1S67, at which time Ohio abandoned working her convicts on State account, the sum of ?53,623.24 has been I paid into the treasui as the balance of the I earnings for 3e' n yi-xrs, and during that (period $130,371.11 bus been expended in enlarging and improving the establishment, every dollar of which had been made by I letting the labor to contractors in the 'shops. In concludi. g their report they I congratulate the Statu upon the success of the present system which has made the penitentiary a source of revenue; at the same time they have udeavored to encourage reformatory me' ;ures in which they . i have met with great ?'r.couragement at the ' hands of the officers, > \aplain and contractj ors. The total number of convicts now ill j tho prison is 876. A very small percentage ' | of the convicts are co'ored, and those that are hired out are eng god in the manufac1 ture of car and railroad castings, stoves, 1 hollow ware, carriages, brushes and agri cultural implements. ' j A metallic coffin, containing the remain? ' of a boy, was dragged up from tho bottom j of tho Mississippi, a short distance above 1' New Orleans, a few days ago. The casket n Hn/1 llii( Jnrl tinf. Vu?pn mn'lo with ' in fifteen years, and consequently at leaal 1 that amount of timo must have lapsed ': since the strange burial.

We always think of great men as in the act of performing deeds which give them renown, or else in stately repose, grand, si1 lent, and majestic. And yet this is hardlj fail-, because the mo^t gracious and magnificent of human beings have to ,bothei themselves with the little things of life which engage the attention of us smallei people. No doubt Moses snarled and gol angry when he had a severe cold in hif head, and if a fly bit his leg while he was in the Desert, why ohould wo suppose h( did not jump and use violent language and rub the sore place? And Ceesar?isn't ll tolerable certain he used to become furious when he went up stairs to get his slipper; in the dark and found that Calphurnia hac shoved them under the bed so that he hac to sweep around them wildly with a broom handle!
