II Did not obey nav Parents, y


The jail was a large, gloomy-looking
stone building. The windows were made
strong by great iron bars fastened across
them. Butth inside was the most gloomy.
1t was divided into very small rooms,
only i've feet wide, and eight long. Each
room had q crossbarred iron door, with
strong belts and locks, and when the
Tailor opened or shut the door, the hinges
grated frightfully on the ear.
In zone offhe rooms of theiai was ayoung
man, about twenty-eight years old. He
had been found guilty of making and pass
ing bad money, and the judge said he
must go to state prison, and stay there as
long as he lived. But he was so sick that
he could not be removed to the prison.
Poor fellow! once he could play in the
green fields, down the cool spring, or I'M
der the shady trees around his fathers
house, or when he was tired, he could 60
home and lay his head upon his mothers
knee, and rest himself or if he was sick,
she would sit by his bed and kindly nurse
him. But how different! shut up in a dark
gloomy Jail, with no one to care for him,
and all around c~ursing and swearing, and
making horIsd noises. O, he felt very

Yankee Doodle.

A late number of the Knickerhocker
contains some amusing adventures of YAM
kee Doodle. The following is a pretty fair
illustration of the adventures and wander
ing character Of the hardy sons of New
England. Speaking of the wonderful ubi-
guilty of the true Yankee, the writer says:
ut is harder than a Chinese puzzle to
put your finger on a bit of territory, dispu-
ted or ~undisputed, where the Yankee Doc
die is not. If you go to Lands End, he
is there to Mount Ararat, he is there;
Chimborazo, Himalaya, the Mountain of
the Moon, or the Pyramid of Cheops, he
is there; anywhere, in fine, where an ark,
a dove, a camel, a snake can arrive, by
their several faculties; bartering, scratching
his name on trees, stones and African
slaves. He knows the whole map of the
ancient dominions o. Preston John, and ev-
cry nook and corner of Mozambique, and
he is hand-and-g glove with all the savages
in the world. He has been to Ichahoe I'M
til he has scraped it perfectly clean and
if your English trader has discovered a
new bank of Guano, and is getting ready
to fire a gun or two and take possession OF
it in the name of her Majesty, imagine his
concernment, to discover a dozen Of these
fellows seventy feet deep in a guano cav
ern, s~cooping it out with their fingers, and
a Bangor schooner bouncing up and down
in a little cove like a duck among bulrush'
es, Now if you walk on the sea shore a
Bildarax, you will find that you are not tht
, first there, perhaps to your great sorrow
as Captain Jix swore violently, when, il
walking through the streets of Rundown

the distance. But she waited in vain, anc
at last re-entered the house with a troub,
led feeling.
At last the clock struck twelve, and al.
most At the same time she heard her hus.
band at the door, e~ndeavoring to open i
with a dead-latch key. In this he was no
successful from some cause, and thinking
that she might have turned the key, Mrs
Peters went quietly and opened the door
for him. She found that she had no
locked it.
AS she lifted the latch, the door was
thrown suddenly against her, and her hus-
band came staggering in. As he passed
her he struck against the wall of the pass
Observation-Disclosures the other side,
and then fell heavily upon the floor.
The dreadful truth instantly flashed up
on her. He was drunk. For a moment
her heart ceased to beat, her head Ieeled,
and she then had to lean against the wall
to keep from falling. Then all the tender
emotions of her heart rushed freely into
activity. 1t was her own husband who Law
before her, overcome by the master spirit
OF strong drink. With almost superhuman
strength, she raised him up, although a
large man, and supported him with the
arm III she got him I'd stairs and laid bbtfFa
fectly stupid, and only mumbled incoherent
r%enl;es to the frequent and tender importu-
mites of his wife.
After some time she got him undressed
and in bed. But he grew more and more
stupid every moment.
"Oh, what if he should die !" the poor
wife moaned anxiously; while the tears
that had first gushed out still continued to
flow freely. She also washed his face
with cold water, and tried various means
to arouse him from the ~lethargy of drunk
enness. But all to no purpose.
At last, despairing of success, she laid
down beside him, in tears, drew her arm
around his neck, and laiG her face tender
ly against his. She had lain thus for a
bout five minutes, when her husband called
her name in a whisper.
Oh, how eagerly did she listen after her
response to his call!
IF ma husband Were to do so "
AS he said this, still in a whisper, but
very expressive one, he looked her steadi.
ly in the face, with a roguish twinkle O.
the eyes, and a quivering Of the lips, the
muscles of which could with difficulty re.
strain from wreathing those expressive or
gans into a merry smile,
Mrs. Peters understood the whole scene
in a moment, and boxed her husbands ear:
soundly on the spot, for very joy, while
he laughed until his sides ached as bad a
his ears.
In all after discussions upon the various
unfortunate relations Of man and wife, Mrs
Peters was very careful how she declaro'
her course of action, were she placed II
similar circumstances. If in any case sh'
was led unthinkingIy to do so, the remarl
Of her husband, made with a peculiarly in
Election ofthe voice: ooh, yes! If my hus
band were to do so''-had the happiest Ell
feet imaginable, and instantly put an en-
to the Improbable discussion.
