Night autl Morning.
Was it a lie that they told mo, ^
Was it a pitiless hoax ?
A sop lor ray soul and its longing, |
Only to cozen and coax ? <
And a voice came down through the night and j
rain:
' They lied; thou host trusted in vain-" (
J
Must I vanish off-hand into darkness, <
Blown out with a breath like a lamp ? 1
Have I naught in the future to look to )
Save rotting in darkness and damp ? ^
Aud the answer came with a mocking hiss: ]
" Thou hast nothing to look to save this."
i
What of the grave and its conquost, t (
01' death and the loss of its sting ? I ,
Was it only the brag of a madman j ]
Who believed an impossible thing T I i
And the voice returned, as the voice ol a | 1
ghost: j
"It was but a madman's boast." I
Am I the serfot my senses, | (
Is my soul a knave without rights ? j 1
Are feeding and breeding and sleeping i (
jiy nrst ana truest aoufjuis i
And the cool answer cut mo afresh: j ,
" Thou art but tho serl oi thy ttcsh." ^ J
Is it all for naught thon I travail, j
That I long for leisure from sin,
That I thirst for tho pure and the perfect, j
And leel like a god within ?
The voice replied to my passionate thought: I
"Tbv longing and travail is naught."
i i
Then I bowed my head in my anguish, !
Folding my lace in my hands,
And I shuddered as one that sinketh
In the clutch of quaking sands.
And I stared, as I clinched my fingers tight, j *
Out through the blank black night. j ]
For lile wm shorn of its meaning, 1
And I cried: " Oh, God, is it so ? j
Utter the truth though it slay me, j
Utter it, yes or no ?" {
But I heard no answer to heal my paiu t
Save the bluster of wind and rain. ?
(
And behold, as I sat in my sorrow, ]
A quick ray shot lrom the East,
Another and then another, <
And I knew that the night had ccased. j
And tlia ilavfc nlonda rolled awiiv to the West
As the great sun rose from his rest. j
And now, as the fair dawn broadened 1
Strong and joyous and bright. ^
My whole soul swept to meet it, j
Rapt with a deep delight; j
And a new voice rang down tho radiant skies:
Rejoice, I huvo heard theo; arise !"

THE WRONG PIG. j
i
Old Dr. Johns lived in :i small village ji
of Honeyhurst, and for forty years he t
had been <the sole physician in the district
in which he resided, No one i
cared to enter the lists against him in c
tuat locality, lor tue simple ranaoitanis | i
fully believed there was not such anothei j
master of the healing art in the whole i j
world, and so he drove his red wheeled | j
gig over the lanes and byways of the | j
country side without a rival, and dared ; ^
and bullied the inhabitants in his rough I s
and kindly fashion to his heart's con- j (
tent. i
The doctor lived in a gvcat rambling r
house, half way down the village street,
with a wide expanse of lawn in front, ^
and his little brick office in one corner {
next to the sidewalk. His wife had
died many years ago, so his household r
was conducted by a housekeeper. But t
as the doctor's family was small and he I
loved society, he was hardly ever with- i
out a student, to whom he taught the
healing art in the back office. Thus it d
was Charlie Ilorton came to Honey- a
hurst to study medicine with the doc- s
tor, and, as his predecessor had done be- a
fore him, occupied the back office and t
the northwest chamber. He came from t
a town somewhat distant, and was un- t:
y X _ _ X XV. 11 I 1M r
Known w) iue rown iojks, una, use every u
stranger thnt came among thpm, was b
made the subject of much critical ex- "
amination, as he walked up the broad p
aisle of the village church the Sunday p
evening after his arrival. n
"Well, doctor, how are you?" said r
Farmer Smith.'as he leaned over the gate h
of his cornfield, next morning, as the
doctor came driving by. c
" Ah, Smith, how do you do?" replied a
he, as he drew rein on the gray mare a
and stopped. "IIow's your folks?" a
"Toler'ble, thankee; wife's a little a
ailin' this mornin'. See you've got a j y
new young man: see'd him yesterday at | ti
church. Goin' to make a doctor out o': r
him. eh3"
" Yes, I think so," replied the doctor, h
" Think ye ain't got the wrong pig by h
the ear, eh, doctor?" said the farmer, s;
. laughing. - ? I
44 Well, don't know," replied the vil-' ^
lage iEsculapius; 44 ain't tell yet." j t<
Now, 44 getting the wrong pig by the ' r:
ear " was one of the doctor's great ex- j d
pressions, in fact his favorite one. Like j s<
Shakspear's jxistice, he was 44 full of wise ; il
saws and modern instances," and had a !
proverb or apt quotation upon every oo- j g
cassion With him. if a man make amis
fi. it ll i T
tans, it was " getting tne wrong pig Dy ?
the ear." Of course this peculiarity was
well known throughout all the country C
about where he practiced, and hcnce t'
the quotation of Farmer Smith. P
Time passed on and Charles Horton P
became fully domesticated in the doc- a
tor's household. He was a tine young s1
fellow, somewhat over-confident, per- s>
haps, and needed the vein a little. This
the doctor was not slow to put on, and d
he mingled his instruction in the heal- E
ing art with admonitions nhout " setting I
the wrone pit by the ear," until Charles i _
was heartily tired of the homely proverb, i il
But he was a good fellow, nevertheless,; v
and a great favorite.
Then years passed away, and Charlie's b
studies with the old doctor were drawing
to a close, when suddenly the idea
popped into his head that he would go
to Paris and finish his medical educa- ,
tion with a course through the Conti- "
nental hospitals. Dr. Johns pooh-! ?
poohcd the idea and thought it utterly
useless. f "
. " Why. boy,"said he, "what do you v
want to be gallivanting off to France ?
foi ? What bee have you got in your
bonnet now? Can't you be satisfied
with home learning, but must go and
tack on some new-fangled foreign tomfoolery
that will knock all your sensible
knowiedce out ot your head? Goto ,
Paris? Nonsense! Don't get the wrong 'J
pig by the ear!" n
But Charlie was not to be talked out ?
of his new idea. He was bound to ao ,
to Paris to study and see the world, and ! {
so one day lie packed his trunks, bade j:
his friends cood-bve. and. mounting i 11
the stage-coacli, was wheeled out of the v
village world.
But before going the old doctor called
him into his office, and, shutting the ?
door, thus bogin:
"Now. Charlie, you arc off to for- J
eign parts, and I hope you will enjoy
your3eif. Stick to your books and get [
what knowledge you can out of those c
fellows over there, although I don't J
c. suppose they know so much more than
otner people. But, nevertheless, you Jj
may learn a few things. I don't sup- J
pose you'll be apt to go acting, as you {
have been too well brought up lor that; J
and now I've cot something here that I J
want you to take with you. It's a recipe *
that it has taken me a good raanv years j
to find out. You will find it ot great
value in your praetice. It will cost you ?
?5.? . ;
And the doctor with a crave face, ?
held out a huge yellow envelope sealed ?
with red wax and tied with a blue
ribbon. j.
Charlie was rather tired of his longwinded
harangue, for although he liked
the doctor, he considered him something
of an old fogy. But the offer of his c'
recipe excited his curiosity. What was
ifo qa ho ndirl tho ow%a ^ i
iu. ***iv4 ucvaiutr tue :
happy possessor of the huge envelope and ;
its mysterious contents !
M Take good care of it, Charlie, and j tl
don't ?po?i it until you are out of the | ^
country." *
A day or two after, when at his hotel tj
at Folkstone waiting for the steamer, p
lie bethought himself ot the mystic re- ^
cipe, :ind hastening to his room he v
locked t he door and opened his valise. ^
There it was, safe and sound, in all its jj
?lorv of yellow envelop red seal and p
lue ribbon. Charlie took it out; turned ?
it over. It was very solemn and ponderous;
a perfect panacea for ivll tlie evils ^
that flesh is heir to. He turned it over 0
and over, and finally untied the ribbon. ^
and. breaking the seal, drew out a sheet j,
of foolscap carefully folded. Taking it d
to the window he read as follows: v
"Don't get tli0 wrong pig l$r the ear. e

"Dashing the paper to the floor,
Charlie burst out:
"The old swindler, to cheat me out of
?5 in that way. I'll come up with him,
though. See if I don't pay him off."
3o he contented himself with concocting j
i scheme for veneencc in secret.
Three years passed away before
Charlie Horton finished his studies and i
returned home. Meanwhile he hud j
ihanged greatly, and irom a smooth-1
faced stripling, with the merest suggestion
of a mustache, he was now bearded |
like the pard, and looked so different
that his own mother hardly knew him.
But he had not forgotten Dr. Johns nor
[lis promised revenge.
It was Saturday night when the stags- ,
roach set Charles Horton down at the j
3oor of the village inn at Honeyhurst.
tfe gave a false name to the landlord,
md smoked a cigar with him after supjer,
and inquired about the village,

Jig his identity.
In the course of the conversation
Dharlie asked who it was that lived in j
;hat large house with a front garden I
lown the street.
"That's Dr. Johns'; been here a good
nany years; clever man. I'll introduce
,'ou to him if you wish. The doctor
ind I are pretty good friends."
"Well." slowly replied Charlie; as if
considering, "he ought to know his
langer, ana it would be best to tell him.
[t may not be too late yet."
Ana on they started down the street
;oward the doctor's residence.
"What did you say was his name?"
isked Charlie, as they marched along.
"Dr. Johns."
"Johns?Johns," said Charlie,
;houghtfully: "I knew a fellow in
Paris?Charlie Horton by name?who
said he had studied with Dr. Johns, an
)ld man and somewhat of a character.
[ wonder if your doctor is the same
nan?"
"To be sure he is," replied the innceeper,
"I knew Charlie Horton well.
Se went to France three or four years
igo. So you know him, do ye? Is he
here yet? The doctor will be doubly
'lad to see you if you bring news from
Charlie. He thought a great deal of
lim." 1
By this time they had reached the
? * re? ?J U i),A I
loctors omce, ivnu iik greetcu uic j?uuord
heartily, and looked inquiringly at
.he stranger.
The landlord introduced Charlie as
Dr. Holmes, and added that he brought
lews from Charlie Horton.
At this Dr. Johns was overjoyed,
lrged the pseudo Holmes to come in, and
nquired affectionately about his old
)upil.
Conversation was carried on for an
iour, when Charlie, looking the doctor
jamestly in the face, said:
"Dr. Johns, how is your health
low?"
" First rate, sir?first rate. Never felt
letter in my life!" and he certainly
ooked it.
" You don't find old age creeping on. do
rou, sir?" blandly inquired Charlie, but 1
itill looking very intently into the doc- '
or's face.
"Well, a little stiffish in the joints
low and then: but?bless you, sir?I
:an ride as many miles and as many '
lours as I ever could."
"Dr. John's," said Charlie, very im)ressively,
'* do you ever meet in your '
>ractice people who look and feel the
>erfect embodiment of health, and yet
vhose constitutions are being sapped by
i fatal disease and they are not conscious
>t it:*1"
"Well, yes, I have met such eases,"
eplied the doctor.
"And did you ever apply them to
rourself, sir?" asked Charlie, in solemn '
ones.
" Why, Dr. Holmes, what do you
oean? Do you think that my constitu- '
ion is undermined by a secret disease?
Nonsense, man!" and he laughed outi/rht.
Then Charlie began. He told the old
loctor all that be had told the landlord, j
nd much more. How he had many
ueh cases. He knew the doctor felt liis
ge, and he cleverly used those sympoms,
twisting them about, showing
hat it was not age, and in two hours'
ime the doctor was so thoroughly
tightened that he believed his end liable
to occur any moment, and besought
Dr. Holmes" to do whatever lay in liis
ower to give him relief. Dr. Holmes
romised to think it over during the
ight. Dr. Johns would not hear of his i
oturaing to the inn, but insisted upon .
lis taking a bed at his house.
Charlie, with a grave face, finally c
onsented, but before going to bed he J
dvised the doctor to take an "anodyne," 1
sstired him that there was no immedi- ,

Lt* auu uic Ycnj uiaua^cu iw oup j
n emetic into the doctors glass of
rater, which he always took before rearing,
and he had done so with great
egularily for thirty years.
About the middle of the night the old
ousekeeper called Charlie up in great r
iiste and terror. I)r. Johns was very 1
ick, and had asked her to call Dr. fl
[olmes as soon as possible. Charlio s
rent to the bedroom and found him I
wsing around and groaning at a great j
ite. He felt now he had an attack of the \
isease mentioned by Charlie, and be- c
DUglit him to do what he could speed- 1
y- n
Charlie made an examination, looked J
rave and shook his head.
"Bad, is it, Dr. Holmes?" asked *
ohns, faintly; "tell me the worst, sir." 11
" It is u bad case, Dr. Johns," said J
lharlie. " 1 can do only one thing, and j:
iial is a costly one. I can give you a 1
inscription, but it will cost you twenty a

een it used with very good results." r
4* Twenty pounds?" asked the old J
octor, eagerly. "All right; I will v
iveit, sir. What is the prescription ? ?
lere is the money."
Charlie wrote on a slip of paper, folded *
t up and handed it to the doctor. He ?
eceived it eagerly, opened it with ^
rembling hands, and, by the light of the ,
iedroom lamp, read:
t
" Don t get the wrong pig by the ear. [
44 Dk. Charles IIorton." n
With one bound the doctor was out of 1
ed, but 44 Dr. Horton " had vanished.
Gliarlie," said Dr. Johns next day, j
I'm getting old; you mu3t come and *
ike my practice. Your twenty pounds f
rill help to give you a start." r
The doctor says he never got the ?
1 wrong pig " but once. 1

How the Sparrow was Introduced. P
One of the most interesting papers in 1
Jarpers relates,to a little bird that has
>een the subjection of praise and of deunciation
also. There is much dispute
s to the merits or the shortcomings of
he sparrow, and we are not certain the
American people will gratefully remember
the person who first introduced the
oreigner to our country. This attempt
ras made we are told "by a gentleman
lamed Desblois, in Portland, Maine,
luring the autumn of 1858; he brought I
iver a few birds from the continent, and
iberated them in a large garden which
vas situated within the central part of
he city. They remained there shelterd
and secure under the eaves of a neigli>oring
church throughout the winter,
md in the following spring settled
lown happily enough to the labor of
icst-building and rearing their young,
rwo years later the first pair of these
inches were set at liberty near Madison
square, New York city; the importaion
was steadily repeated, the birds
>eing released in the Central Park and
,t Jersey City. They were first introluced
to Boston in 1868 by the city govrnment,
and to Philadelphia by the
Qunicipal authorities in 1869, and from

A California Log-slide.
Around the foot of a steep slope,
where a spur of the mountains thrusts ii
its shoulder into the water, the road w
runs its winding way. Following this c<
the traveler comes at last to a peaceful si
spot, whose quiet would throw tlie v:
most timorous soul into reverie. Death 01
lurks in ambush here, however, and o
where there should be black flags, yel- a
low flags, red lanterns, skulls, and v
cross-bones in abundance, there is no ei
omen of his distinguished and pallid si
presence other than a mild warning, ri
marked.on a strip of board and tacked to A
a stump, which is hidden so deep in the : ir
evergreens tlif\t none but the most vigi-1 v)
lant of observers would notice it. It is t!
the premonitory signal: " Look out for h
Logs!" Reading this indefinite hint, c<
the traveler might feel a languid curi- la
osity as to what it meant, but lie would
hardly construe it as significant of fr
peril. Perchance by day he would look ir
around for logs beaming with "fox- g
lire," but as for apprehension of danger, ts
that were absurd, for ot all inanimate e:
objects the log, emblem of all that is in- ai
ertand stupid, iias always been con- b
sidered most tree from inimical designs ir
upon man. ^
A hundred feet further, however, and je
the lull force of this caution comes home C
to him. A hundred feet further and the c<
road is cut by a line, from which his in- V
telligcnt horse shrinks as he would from (j
a serpent across his path. It is a tram- it
way, or chute, of hcavj timbers, sunk in li
the ground, reaching from the crest of d
the hill to the edge of the water. It is b
hollow, like a trough, and in places its n'
concave surface is bushed with strips of t^
iron, shining with a polish which could b
come only from the most violent fric- ai
tion. It is a "log-slid"," down which j
the trunk of a large tree, peeled of its p:
bark to make it slippery, is coming with ft
all the force of a ship from the stocks. i(
Such a battering-ram would send into p
dust the strongest wall that was ever b
made, and would bring utter annihila- ft
tion to the passing traveler so unlucky y;
as to be astride of the track at this criti- a:
cal moment. A cloud of splinters, smoke y
and dust marks the wa*ke of its meteoric c,
flight, which lasts but the length of a g,
suspended breath, from the launch at ]j
the summit to its final leap from the high CJ
trestle-work to the water beneath, where ti
it strikes with a sharp clap and dashes t)
the white spray into a cloud which ^
washes the highest tree-tops. Then,
tardy as the thunder after the light- Ci
ning's flash, there comes a yell of warning
from the men assembled at the head 0
of the slide, who are responsible for all ^
this tumult and terror. To the jocular ^
natures of the men of Lake Tahoe every ~
log launched and every wayfarer scared
are but items of their entertainment, for <j
which, however, under the name of a

A Snake Performer's Awful Death. h
One of the most intrepid wild beast
tamers in Europe, Karolyi, a Magyar of ^
colossal stature and extraordinary physi- h
eal strength, has recently fallen a victim P
to a dread contingency of his perilous o
profession. He was performing before v
a crowded audience in Madrid, Spain, a
one of liis most sensational feats, which ti
consisted in allowing a huge boa con- tl
stridor over twenty feet in length to h
enlold h:3 body in its tremendous coils, ft
when suddenly a piercing cry escaped o
him, which was greeted by the public ei
with a round of applause, under the ?
supposition that its utterance consti- tx
tuted a part of the performance. It a
proved, however, to be the outcome of si
a strong man's death agony. The gi- d
frantic snake had tightened its coils and I"
crashed poor Karolyi's life out of him d
with one terrific squeeze. As his bead p;
fell back and his eyes became fixed in a
glassy stare the plaudits died away and j
were succeeded by the stillness of utter
consternation. The snake and its lifeless
victim swaved for a second or two o
uf inexpressible horror and then toppled
aver on the boards of the stage, but the ?'
boa did not in the least relax his grip r
upon the corpse, which remained for ?
more than an hour imprisoned in its hide- r
dus thralldom, nobody daring to ap- 11
proaoh the lithe monster, of whose 0
powers such appalling proof had been P
riven. At length it occurred to one of "
Karolyi's attendants to place a bowl of
milk in a cagc within sight of the
mighty'serpent, which slowly in wound "
itself from the dead body an<? glided .
nto its den, irresistibly tempted thereto
oy its favorite dainty. A post-mortem u
exa mination of the unfortunate athlete's r<
remains disoovered no fewer than eighty- 8<
leven fractures of his bones, effected by e'
;he constriction of the serpent's coils. u
lis death must have been almost in- n
itantanoous, as the spine was disarticu- ft
ated in several places. ' i ?

L'egontn, A
About two centuries ago a French
lavigator named Begon brought from _
Vsia a new plant, which is still called
ifter him. Begonia. Few readers would l
iuspect the part this plant plays in the jfc
>roduction of the handsome shawls so "
>rized by ladies. The best by far of
hese are made in Cashmere, a beautiful
listrict at the foor of the Himalaya t
nountains. The material used in their *
nanufacture is the finest down from the
Thibet goat. Every one has probably ?
emarkea the singularly graceful pat- z.
eras with which tliey are ornamented,
.nd perhaps wondered' whether they
eere studies from nature or the producion
of the artist's brain. They are the
ormer. Nature in the East supplies
.dmirably graceful leaves on which the ?
un designs delicate ornaments, and the ^
vorkmen cf Cashmere imitate them, as
he Grecian sculptors copied the curves ?!
if the acanthus in the Corinthian cap
tals. These leaves are those of the
>egonia. When the French arrived in
Sgypt, at the end of the last century, ai
hey were surprised to see the Orientals
vearing costumes, shawls, turbans,
ashes, etc., of beautiful Cashmore work.

ver their collars; the families of states- a
len and merchants went by in private s

:s were unostentatious, a few had 1
jlendid equipages, and employed out- 2
ders. Some of the passes through the a
.lleghanies were as precipitous as any "v
i the Sierra Nevada, and the mountains t
ere as wild. Within a mile of tlie road i

'fhc national road proper -was built
om Cumberland, Maryland, to Wheelig,
Virginia, by the United States
overnment, the intention being to esiblish
it as far as St. Louis. It was
Ecellently macadamized; the rivers
ad creeks were spanned bv stone
ridges; the distances were indexed by
on mile-posts, and the toll-houses suplied
with strong iron gates. Its proctor
and chief supporter was Henry
lay, whose services in its behalf are
>mmemoratcd by a monument near
Wheeling. Henry Beeson, a former
ongressman, was also an advocate of
and on one occasion he made a pubc
speech in which he showed the auience?so
flexible is arithmetic comined
with imagination?that from the
umber of horseshoes it would necessi^te,
and the number of nails, it was
etter adapted to promote trade than
ay railroad could be. From Cumber- s
ind to Baltimore the road, or a large f
art of it, was built by certain banks of
[aryland, which were techartered in *
316 on condition that they should com- I
lete the work. So far from being a *
urden to thpm, it proved to be a most ?
icrative property for many years, c
ielding as much as twenty (per cent., ?
od'it is only of late years that it has
ielded no more than two or three per
rnt. The part built by the Federal
DvernmeiM was transferred to Marymd
some time ago, and the tolls beime
a political perquisite; but within
le past year it has been acquired by
ie counties of Alleghany and Garrett,
rhich have made it free.
We have written of what is past. The
mal and the railway have superseded
ie old national " pike," and it is not
ften now that a traveler disturbs the
ust that lies upon it. The dust itself, ineed,
has settled and given root to the
rass and shrubbery, which in many
laces show how complete the decaence
is. The black snakes, moccasins,
nd copperheads, that were always pleniful
in the mountains, have become so
nused to the intrusion of man that they
un themselves in the road, and a veicle
cannot pass without running over
hem. Many of the villages which
rere prosperous in the coaching days
ave fallen asleep, and the wagon of a
eddler or farmer is alone seen where
nee travel was enormous. The men ,
rho were actively ergaged on the road '
3 drivers, station agents, and mail con- :
ractors are nearly all dead The few j
hat remain are very old, and while an ,
lquiry abojit the past reanimates them j
>r a moment, they soon lapse into the :
blivion of their years. But the ^avrns,
with their hospitable and.pictur- ,
jque fronts, the old smithies, and the
ill-eates. have not been entirely swept .
way. Enough has been left unde- J
soiled to sustain the interest and inividuality

A Pathflndrcss.
John C. Fremont, says the New York
un, used to be called the Pathfinder,
ad a proud title it was. Apparently *
is wife, the Jessie Benton of old dayB, 1
as turned path finder too, though in a J
liferent field of exploration. She found '
l her new Arizona home a history class 1
f big boys and girls, the children of 1
oor parents, who had to work out of *
ours in order to get the time to attend 1
jhool. She was so pleased with their 1
>oks and pluck that she volunteered to 1
elp them:
" It was a great pleasure to me to find 1
iat I could add to the knowledge of '
iese young people, that I could make <
aal and human to them names and per- (
jnages, that I could link together one j
rent and one personality after another, *
ntil history became not a dry mass of (
ames and date3 and isolated events, but I
connected and yet broadening stream ?
f human effort. I cannot, ot course, 1
egin to tell you all I said to them, but J
le thirty-two history talks I gave my 1
.rizona flock each Friday were a pano- '
ima of history as my father had taught :
le to know it, as I had realized it in 1
lany a spot of classic ground in Europe. s
i reading had enriched it with personal f
elongings and lights, and as I had seen '
made both in France and in our own r
reat trial time. For this, when they 1
ould thank me, I would tell them to ;
lank my father. I acquired last win- s
ir a practical insight into the vast and c,
reading influence of the spoken word v

Words ,of Courage. n
A great deal of talent is lost to the *
orld for the want of courage. Every ?
ay sends to the grave a number of ob- 11
:ure men, who have only remained in ?
bscurity because their timidity has t
revented their first effort, and who, if t
mo hnvn Vippn iriHnppH tr? hpcrin. '1
'ould, in all probability, have gone ?
reat lengths in the career of fame. The ?
tct is, in order to do anything in this e
rorld that is worth doing we must not v
;and shivering on the brink, and think {'
f the cold and danger, but jump in and ?
:ramble as we can. It will not do to S
e perpetually calculating risks and ad- 0
isting nice chances. It did very well v
efore the flood, when a man could conllt
his friends upon a publication for
tie hundred and fifty years and then live

afterwards, but at present a man h
raits, and doubts, and hesitates, and ?
insults his brother and his uncle, and *
articular friends, till one day ho finds 1
lat he is sixty years of age; tnat he a
as lost so much time in consulting first *
jusins and particular friends that he r
as no time left to follow their advice, o
here is no such thing for over-squeam- n
hness at present, the opportunity so ^
isily slips away, the very period of v

BREACH OF PROMISE El CHINA.
l Case Showing how B?ftr?etoi7 Loywi
are Brought to Term*.
In a country village near Nankihg
ived two men named Chen and Yu. Yu z
ad a daughter who was formally be- j
rothed to Chen's son, and, probably on c
ccount of" her parents' poverty, waa \
ent to her future father-in-law's house r
o be brought up there. After a time i
fu, who is a weaver, went to live in 1
banking, and his daughter came to pay c
. visit to her mother. The girl, who a
pas now grown up, was very discon- ]
ented with her lot, complaining of hav- *
ng to work in the fields ana of her 1
uture father-in-law's roughness and
oarseness; and her parents began to ]
epent of the engagement and determined . ^
0 try and break it .off. Next door to
hem was living a sftholar named Chin, .
vho was waiting for the next examina- 1
ions and occupying himself meanwhile j
& a schoolmaster. Constantly seeing }
he girl, he took a fancy to her.
The future father-in-law, Chen, find- ,
ng the girl was not sent back to his
louse, and hearing a rumor of Chin's t
Mention, began to suspect that Yu was ,
rying to break off the match, and sent
1 match-maker to hurry on the mar- f
iage. Yu replied that he never accepted .
my betrothal presents, and that no one }
:ould make him take them, and that he

iage. Chen then went himself with the ,
natch-maker, but with no further result f
han a great deal of mutual abuse. Chen
lext filed a petition in the magistrate's <
:ourt, and Yu presented a counter-peti- <
ion written for him by Chin. The case <
:ame on for hearing and the magistrate
oon elicited the truth. After rating Yu ,
icundly he turned to Chen and said: i
' You can take the girl or not, af you like, i
>ut I strongly advise you not to.'1 Chen 1
jersisted in having her, and the mogis- i
rate ordered the two parties to draw ud 1
l contract. Chen, who was present in 1
:ourt, motioned to Yu not to sign the
:ontract. He was detected, however, by '
he magistrate, in so doing, and was '
ailed up and questioned, and then
fhnfr. o mnn in his Tiosition I
ihould not mix himself up ih a case of |
his sort. The magistrate then looked
lp the almanac and chose a lucky day in 1
Tune for the wedding day, whereupon
3hen stepped forward on Yu's behalf '
tnd begged that the marriage might be j
leld in the autumn. This interference
horoughly exasperated the magistrate*
vho thumped the table and ordered
Dhcn to be kept in confinement till after
ihe marriage was completed.
In a few day's time the match-maker 1
jresented herself at Yu's house with the
justomary presents. When she was
well inside, the door was closed, and
ather and daughter fell upon her and beat
ler horribly. The woman, after the foreaste,
notknowing what would happe
)n the real wedding day, appealed to the
nagistrate. who again called up the
mrties. Yu could only allege in excuse
;hat the son-in-law had not come in person
to the house. Chen said that the
justom was given up in the country,
ind besides his son had n6t the money
to buy a proper dress for the occasion.
The magistrate replied that the bridegroom
should certainly go to the house,
ind, as he was poor, the magistrate
arould give him tne money for the dres<.
Moreover, when the day came, the magstratc
said he would send two policemen
with the bridegroom, and, if there
.vas any trouble the girl should be carried
to the magistrate's Yamen and
narried there. When the day came, the
policemen escorted the party to the
bride's house and then back to the
bridegroom's, and waited until the marriage

In a Belgian Coal Mine.
A correspondent who has made a dement
infrn o 'Rplnrinn r>nnl mine rnVP.q an
interesting account of it, in the course of
tvhich he says: After walking about
:ialf a mile on foot down lodes which
ivero sometimes so low that we had to
itoop in going along them, we came to a
ipot where M. F. Cornet's new compressed
air machine was working. It is
i machine for drawing trucks by means
)f pulleys, and lias saved the company
arge sums in horseflesh and other expenses.
A row of empty trucks was at
land, about to start to some far-off part
)f the mine to fetch coals, and we were
iirected to get into this train, and keep
jur mouths shut for fear of biting off our
ungues. The caution was not superflu)us,
for the jolting of the empty trucks
proved to be. awful, and we were all
ihaken like potatoes in sacks. Ourjouriey
lasted ten minutes, and in that time '
ve cleared about two mil^s. On getting
out we saw nothing much more
iuiious than we had seen as yet, except
hat here Were some men at work fore- :
ng open new lodes. The process con- ,
lists of introducing a metal tube full of
junpowder into a hole which it takes (
lalf an hour to bore, then lighting a ]
natch and retreating to a safe distance .
vhile it fires the powder. There is al- I
vays some peril in these explosions, lor i
oinetimes the powder goes off too soon. >
>r it may chance that its effects are 1
through some atmospheric cause) much ]
Qore powerful than had been counted '
ipon, so that tons of coal will be shot j
ike rubbish in all directions, burying ,
ainers who had fancied themselves out
>f reach. Again, when a new lode hvs (
teen opened accidents olten arise in
learing away the masses of coal, lor ;
ome hie lump that has been half deached
will come down of a sudden and i
rush the excavator working on his ]
>ack. Women are allowed to work in <
hese Belgian mines. We saw more i
han twenty Dretty Walloon girls, in }
ostumes even scantier than an acrobat's, '
ngaged in filling trucks. They are paid !
ess than men. From one of these damels
we heard an account of the terrible '
.ccident which took place at a neighbor- ,
ng pit. that of Framerios, a few months ,
go, when above a hundred miners per- ]
shed. The girl herself was in the pit at i
he time, ana narrowly escaped death; j
>ut one is glad to say that she is now in 1
be receipt of a pension of 860 a year for 1
laving lost her father and brother in
he disaster. The mother, a younger 1
rother and two small sisters are all 1
mployed as sifters above ground, and !
ire saw them on our return to the day- i
ight after a trip which we would not
ave missed for a great deal. Altoether
we spent three hours helow, and
n our return it took us half an hour to
rash ourselves.

A Common Mistake.
It is a great mistake to suppose that t
ittle can be accomplished if a man has t
( ached the age of thirty or forty years. <
fine-tenths of our clever men have ac- '
ually exhibited more vigor of intellect J
t fifty years of [age} than at forty.

eal earnest, the study of Natural Phil- '
sopliy. The principal of one of the c
lost nourishing colleges in Ameriea r

rlien most students have completed their \
ollegiate education. Sir Henry Spcl- n

jitil he was Detween fifty and sixty c
ears of age. Greek was the first for- 1
ign language which Cato, the celebrated c
Loman censor, acquired, and he did so r
a his old age. Alfieri, who, writing, ?
ias caused a revolution in the dramatic e
iterature of Italy, was left without a v
ither in his infancy, and wasted his i
arlv years. John Ogilby, the author of 1
oetical translations from Virgil and
lomer, began the study of Latin when
bout forty years of age. and Greek in
