kerchief; he sleeps between iron sheets, which in
winter are made red-hot. Instead Of rats and
mice, wolves and grisly bears prowl about his
room at night, but he sleeps SO sound he's obliged
TO be thrown out Of the window every morning to
wake him. Mother missed him when he was a
baby, and found him at last seated on hornets
nest, playing at bo-peep with couple of rattle
snakes.
As an infant, Ezekiel was wonder, guess ; he
had razors and bayonets for toys, walked in top
boots when he was three DAYS old, sucked hot Goals,
and used to rub his gums with nutmeg crater !;
they weaned him the very day he was born, and
fed him on pap made of flint stones and lgnumvite
soaked in prussic acid. His appetite, for boy,
awful; he once eat buffalo and three parts of a
horse and then asked if tea wasn't ready When
Nash travels by rail. he gets out to walk trifle OF
forty or fifty miles, and waits an hour or two till
the train overtakes him. Tho engine comes up
painting and blowing, and often says with forced
laugh, Bust my biler, Ezekiel, bu, of all mortal
critters. you're the biggest reckon your father
was flash OF lightning, and your mother an airth-
quake. Darn me if you amt an ornament to crea-
tion."
As specuator Nash is cruel lucky He held
some canal shares once, which went TO such pre-.
MUM, he was obliged to send the broker up in
balloon TO sell out.

CoNFIDE IN YOUR MoTHER.-To the daughter
we should say, that no favorite can love yOu with
an affection So dlsinterested as your mother. De
ceive her, and your feet will slide in due time
How many though.ess daughters receive address
es against the wish of their parents, receive them
clandesne!y, give their hand in marriage, and thus
dig the grave of their earthly happiness He who
would persuade you TO deceive Your parents. proves
himself in that very deed, unworthy of your conf
dence. If you wed him. you will speedily realise
what you have lost. You will have exchanged a
sympathising friend and an able, judcious coun-
se)lor, for selfish, unfeeng companion, ever seek
ing his accommodation and his own pleasure
neglecting you in health. and deserving you when
sick. Who has not read the reward of deserted
parents in the pale and melancholy features of the
undu,fu daughter.

DESTRUCTION OF NEUILLY.

The devastation and final destruction of the cha
teau Of Neuilly, the favorte residence of Louis
Philippe, during the revolution of February, was
SO disgraceful and brutal as to authorize the
belief that similar circumstances only Were requr-
ed TO call forth the same spirit that moved the
French in 1889, and led to like enormities with
those which backened the revolution of that peri
cd.
A young man recently tried in Paris on the
double charge of having been concerned in the in
surrection of June, and in the burning of Neuilly
In the course Of the evidence touching the latter
charge, il appeared that Immediately subsequent to
the revolution Of the 9th Of February, number of
people, amounting to several thousands, assembled
at Neully, broke open the cellars got at the wines
and liquors. with which they appear to have been
most abundanly stocked, and after drinking, many
of them to excess, proceeded to commit the most
wanon acts of devastation upon the premises
They tore TO pieces the rich furniture, DESTROYED
the pictures and works Of art, and threw the re-
mains of all out of the windows. A heap having
been made of the furniture, Sc, the drunken mob
set it on fire. The flames extended to the chateau
ITSELF and soon reduced grea; par, Of it to ashes
The leaders Of the mob, who excited them to de-
yastate and Destroy were observed to be perfectly
sober, and appeared to have great control over them.
The floors were srewed with broken bottles and
the remnants of destruction. One witness testified
that the next morning he went to the chateau with
Gen. yOrdener, and the General, though he had
seen many fields of battle, wept at the sight of the
horrible destruction which had been effected. "In
the cellars" said the witness, fwe found dead
men with their faces lying in wine others so drunk
that they could not stand upright; and others who
had to be pushed on like blocks or bru,es. There
had been 10000 bottles and 200 casks in the eel
lar, but only l60 bottles and 600 casks remained!"
Other witnesses testified 10 scenes of irightfu pro-
fanaton and nfamy. One stated that many per
SONS were burnt TO death, and that the most abomi-
nable orgies took place on the beds Of the King,
Queen, and Madame Adelaide, even while the
ceiling and floors were giving way, many Of the
wretches falling amidst the ruins and disappearing
forever in the burning mass. The account of the
trial from which the above facts are taken is con-
tanned in Galignani's Messenger. 1t is significant
fact that although there was no question as to the
prisoners guilt the jury, as matter Of policy ac-
Quilted him of the charge. And why should they
net2 If they who sacked and plundered and raw
aged the Tuileries and invaded the private palace
OF the King were innocent and even praiseworthy
where was the guilt Of him who only took to him
self portion of the wine of which the King had
more than enough, and committed TO the flames
the house for which the King would have no fur
ther need.-Boston Traveller.

WASHINGTON IN 1901.

One can scarcely credit the description of Wash
ington city, as Mrs. Adams found it in lS0l-
'HeIe and there" she writes, sis small cot,
without glass window, interspersed among the
forests, through which you travel for miles without
seeing a human being. The house is upon grand
and superb scale, requiring about thirty
tend and keep apartments in proper order. Icoud
content myself almost anywhere for three months
but surrounded by forests, can you believe that
wood is not to be had, because people cannot be
found TO cut it? The house is made habitable but
there is not single apartment finished. We have
not the least fence yard other nveniencc with
out, and the great UNFINISHED AUDIENCE ROOM
make drying room of, to hang up clothes in. 1t
is beautiful spot, capable of every improvement
and the more view it, the more ! am delighted
with it,"
The "great unfinished audience room," which
Mrs. Adams speaks Of, is tho famous East room OF
the White House.

Social LovE.-iow sweet is social affection I!
When the world is dark without We have light
within. When cares disturb the breast, when sor-
row broods about the heart, what joy gathers in the
circle we love! We forget the world, with all its
animosities, while blessed with social kindness
That man cannot be unhappy, who has hearts that
vibrate in sympathy with his own, who is cheered
by the smiles Of affection and the voice Of tender
ness. Let the world be dark and cold let the hate
and luminosity of bad men gather about him in the
place of businesS-but when he enters the ark Of
love, his own cherished circle, he forgeis all these
and the cloud passes from his brow and the sorrow
from his heart. The warm sympa ihies of his wife
and children dispel every shadow, and he feels a
thrill of JOY in his bosom which words are not ade
quate TO express. He who is stranger 10 the
joys of social kindness has not begun to live
