She actually had the ha ardihnnd 10 affand

She actually had the hardihood to attend
the trial Of Eveleen, and when the counsel
for the latter uttered the remarkable express
sion, that perhaps the real murderer was
then present, she felt ready to die away, bu,
soon recovered-and she afterwards beheld
the execution of Eveleen without experien-
cling an atom of remorse, either for her death
or that Of the first victim. From that time
forward, she in her own words, became and
continued emphalically "a child of He'll :"
Very soon after Eveleen's execution, she
married soldier, and accompanied him to
India. Subsequently she travelled over va
rious parts Of the world, and committed sin
upon sin, and wicked deed upon wicked
deed, beyond the capabii.y Of her memory
to sum up. At length she fel. an irresisli-
BILE prompting to drag her worn out frame
to the locality of her first fearful crime, and
there, finding herself nigh into death, she
determined 10 unbur.hen herself ofa relation
Of that deed, and accordingly did SO as re-

PERILOUS ADVENTURE WITH A TIGER.
Knowing that you take much interest in
sporting adventures, being keen sports

tiger was lucky enough to kill on the
4sh Of December, near Juggsnau,hpore on
the Janii river. extract the account from
my Journal which says:
About two-half P. NJ man came run
ming down to the edge of the water just a.
head of the boat, III a great fright, and said
thai tiger had seized man close by, and
that although The man was alive they were
afraid to 60 near to fetch him :hat the tiger
had left the man and gone 10 a little dis
tance but when the man moved TO get away
the tiger seized him again, and lba, as he
knew the sahib had guns, he begged that !
would come and make noise with them.
so that they might get the man. At frs, J
thought it was, naiive-like, great deal Of
fright and great deal more exaggeration !;
but when looked at my informan. he SEEM
ed so earnest and SO excited tba. | thought,
he must have seen something like tiger
eating a man at least.
Immediately ordered the boat and load
ed very carefully my large rife and double
barrel, and went to the top of the bank
which was here twenty feet high, FOLLOWED
by all the boa,men and servants, one with

bush in them for half a mile round bu,
with some scattered hu,s long distance off
to the righ. and left. Is,opped and though,
j. impossible a tiger could be any ywhere near,
for If a cat had been there it appeared as if
II must have been seen. The man proba-
bly, taking my hesitation for fear said
''Sahib, it is a small tiger, i, is lame, it has
been sho. by some sahb logue and can't
run i. can't hur, you"
"But," said ], there is nothing but a
psddy-6eld, there is no place for a tiger

THE PROPOSED TAX ON BACHELORS
Bachelors to arms to arms, ye brave!
Arm, arm, and out

Bachelors to arms! to arms, ye brave!
Arm, arm, and out I!
This is great country had come to
that conclusion long before | heard my
friend Mr.. Mayberry say so. Bachelors
are to be taxed, forsooth, for the benefit Of
old maids and orphans. And why, pray,
any benefit from old bachelors? Why not
tax your peticoa,s as we'll as your breeches?
Why single out the wo-be-gone, solitary,
miserable, one-idea gentleman, the bache-
Ior? This world is my inn, and as am
in for il, will take mine ease in it, if pos
sible, without having my pockets picked
If am taxed because am bachelor, war
is made on my independence. Tax an old
bachelor! Blue laws! Tax man that
saddles himself only with misfortunes, mise
ries, walings and woes! Tax the man who
gives no occasion 10 our courts for divorces!
Tax your only good-na.ured man in the
world! Tax your jolly, sociable, good
humored, honest old Bachelor! Tax your
ornament to society, your living liberty
pole, indicative of The freedom of humanity;
as fully emblematical Of liberty as the flag
staff on the Capitol! Tax your ".E Pluri-
bus unum''-your "lone s,ar'-your GA
No. One" Of all that's excellent! He who
never quarrels with any one-never ttou-
bles any body-never gives occasion for
curtain lectures-who never was scolded in
his life-who never did anything he was a.
shamed of, but always stands alone for bet
ter or for worse, and rests on his own bot
tom like fair-minded and honest tub -
What, tax your man who knows what a
good glass Of brandy and water is No,
no! Tax your ,ea-drinkers in the shape Of
male old women. Tax your hitched boo
by, who can't 60 to bed wi!hou. having
somebody to tuck him up in the bed clothes,
Tax your individuals who bege. The nui
sances Of squaIIing bra,s, tha. make the
world like Lucifer's kitchen; all hubbub
and confusion. Tax them, and tax them
heavily, and let them pay for their sport
let them pay the fddles who dance-if they
will figure in the polka, why should they
call upon the bachelor (who hates the CIR
cumlocu,ions Of wal!z) to pay for their
music: Ye Solomons Of Albany-hold
your hands before C committing so stupid an
act as this Pause, think, consider, reflect,
before any acIon on SO revolutionary
proceeding as this If old maids want to
get married-if they want husband, pray,
sir, can. they get what they want without
taxing bachelors? And do our servants
stupidity suppose that they compel bache-
lors to support children of their own inven-
ton, by inven,ing way to get the children
of others supported They will tell you
TO mind your business; if they want to ge.
married, to drive team instead Of tandem,
they will do it in spite of such bundering
boobies as our Solomons and as for tax
ing them for orphans, lie. me tell you that
bachelors have nothing to do with children
in any shape. stand up for law, liberty
and ths rights Of the bachelor.

Well-known physician in certain city,
was very much annoyed by an old lady
who was always sure to accost him in the
street, for the purpose of telling over her
ailments. Once she met him when he was
in very great hurry. "Ah! Isee you are
quite feebIe,'' said the doctor, ''shut your
eyes and show me your tongue" She O.
beyed, and the doctor moved of, leaving
her standing there for some time in this RI
diculous position to the Infinite amuse-
ment of ali who witnessed the funny scene.

A raftsman who had drank a little too

A raftsman who had drank little too
freely, fell from the raft and was drowning,
when his brother plunged in to his relief,
seized him by the hair, but the current was
strong and the brothers strength being
nearly exhausted, he was about relinquish-
ing his hold, when desparing, the drowning
brother raised his head above the water, and
said, "Hang on Sam hang on; I'll treat,
| swear | will" His words were s.imulst-
ing, and the brother at length saved him.
