beautiful widow. Her husband was mercan-

business, but the vessel in whih he took pas
sage was wrecked in violent sOrm, and every
soul on board lost. She went into mourning
for him, and manifested every Fuiiable respect
for her deceased husband. ByPnd by she met
DR.. Hariis and requtcd his love. They became
engaged, and were finally msried. A few
weeks after marriage, they wentlown one morn

BATTLE OF MONMOUTH.
BY J. T. HEADLEY.

The following description is taken from the
second volume of Washington and bis Genor-
ais. This was not only one of the most import
ant battles Of the Revolution, from the new
views it gave the officers and nation, of the val
us of discipline, but illustrates more clearly than
any other the character and power of Wash
ington. ,
The English army, ten thousand strong, mao
evacuated Philadelphia and was passing tnfo
New Jersey, on its way to New folk' no
hi. ,,,,,,try was sIied with the marching COL
umns-the baggage train alone stretching heelre
miles along the road. On the rear OF this army,
IN order to cut it and the baggage uain from the
-, hodv. Washington determined to fall, and
scnt forward five thousand men to commence
the attack. The command of this belonged to
Lee, but he refusing to accept it, it was given
to Lafayette. The former however, thinking it
would have an ugly look 10 decline serving in
such an important battle as this promised to be,
changed his mind, and asked for the post as
signed him, which was generously granted by
Lafayette.
The morning of the 2sth Of June, was one Of
the sultriest of the year; yet at an early hour,
Lee, who was but FIVE miles from Monmouth,
where the British army had encamped that night,
put his troops in motion. Pushing rapidly ~

A SECOND ANDRoCLES.

In an article on "THE MEN ANb BRUFEs OF
SoUrn AmrNioA," writer in'svvNorth Amor
lean Review for April tells the ollo"ing rom
Bingley: Sir George Davis, who was English
Ambassador at Naples in the tie middle OF the
seventeenth century, once paila visit to the
collection of animals uadc by he Grand Duke
of Tuscany. Among them WIS lion which
had been in the hands of the keeper Tor three
years; no kindness, no favor, no feeding would
tame him. in the least. He was the same sav-
age, unsosal unsympathetic beast from first to
last. Sir George approached his den, the at
tendants warning him Of the character the crta-
ure within. The lion, as the stranger drew near,
raised his head with his usual grumble, at being
made sight of; buthis snarl ins moment chang
ed to cry of doubt and JOY sptmging to his feet
with earnest, asking eyes, expressed against
the bars of his cage. The keepers looked on
amazed; but their amazement became terror,
when they saw the Fnglshmal cooly pass his
hand between the IRON RIBS iDt the very mouth
Of the untameab'e beast, who licked it like
dog. With cries of horror they seized him and
forced him back as mad mn. Sir George
| told them who he was, and insisted that the cage
should be operrd for him toenter. Long was
this insane proposal resisted, but it was resisted
in vain-he would enter. He did SO, and no
Newfoundland savior of his masters life ever
showed more signs Of delight then did this un-
approacbabe monster as he put his huge paws
on the Ambassadors shoulders and tenderly
licked his cheek.
The news Of this wonderful interview spread
through Florence with electric speec, and came
to the ears of the Grand Duke, who asking the
Englshman TO dinner desired 10 know the secret
of his power. 1t was the old secret of Andro-
cles-kindness. Sir George had owned this
lion when mere cub, and they had loved one
another. He was forced to part with him, and
his savage character since that time was but
one consequence of the loss of his first friend
his benefactor.

VALUE OF Coal MINEs.--The London Times
in a recent article, speaks of the coal beds of
England in the following terms;-
"Thr exhaustion of our coal beds would be
the final and utter catastrophe of our greatness,
and then England would Immediately sink into
third rate power. 1t is to coal we owe every
hing which is great in our position and history.
Our coal fields are the rude foundation of this
fair Cornthian pile, and England is as much
indebted to them as Egypt to her Nile, Athens
to her schools, and Rome to her policy and her
arms"

WITCHCRAFT IN NEW JER-
SEY.

The following report Of trial in West Jer.
sey for wilchcraf, Is preserved in an almanac
published in the year lSC0. The trial took
place in the year 1890, little more than a cen
tury ago, and as an incident of the "good old
times" of which we often hear, has some inter-
est for the modern reader. The Newark Ad-
vertiser copies it from the Mt. Holly Mrror:-
"Were there no other reasons for promoting
an increase of knowledge, it would be desira-
BILE for the sake of humanity only to give such
information as exhibits the singular ignorance
of former ages and the Improvements Of sue
ceeding generations. The following account
taken from the Pennsylvania Gazette, of Octo-
her, $780, is inserted to evince not only the "b-
snrdity, but cruelty, Of superstitlouS e'l"'
which about that period, infected not merely tAe
common people, but the expounders Of Law and
dispensers Of Justice. We may now ffatter oui
selves that the terror Of witchcraft is no more'
and TINT poor woman may be both old ana ug
ly without danger of hanging for being too light
in the water, or Of drowning for being too hea-
