"WHO MURDERED DOWNlE?"

About the end Of the eighteenth century.
whenever any student Of the Marischal Col

the humber citizens, he was assaIed with
the question. "Who murdered Downie %
Reply and rejoinder generally brought on a
a collision between "iOwn and gown al
though the young gentlemen were accused
of what was chronologically impossibIe.-
People have right TO be angry at being
stigma,ised as murderers, when their accu-

Stalking OFF, Of Downie occurred when The
gownsmen SO mdligned were in swadding
clothes.
But there was time, when to be bland-
ed as an accomplice in the slaughter OF
Richard Downie, made the blood run to The
cheek of many youth, and sent him home
to his books, thoughtful and subdued.-
Downle was sacrist or janisor at Maris-
chal College. One Of his duties consisted
in securing The gate by certain hour; pre-

cannot now be ascerlalned; but there can
be no doubt that he closed The gate with
austere punclualily, and that those who
were no. in The common hall within mi
mute Of the prescribed time, were shut out,

by the principal and professors. The stu

took every petty means of ANNOYING the sa-

points of academic routine, and fierce war

care that in all his proceedings he kept with

ponenis were not so careful, and The decis-

and fines having failed in pr oducing subor-

was also known that the students had hired
apartments in the hotel for theatrical re-

for by them but evond this, nothing was
known. No noise had been heard, and no
proof of murder could be adduced. Of two

Moreover, the students were scattered over
the city, and the magistrates themselves had
many of their own families among the num-

family were provided for-and his slaugh-

to the obnoxious class Of students who mur-
dered Downie.

The Louisville Eraminer tells story Of
church member who has always been
more remarkable for opening his mouth to
say amen than for opening his purse. On
one occasion, after burst of eloquence from
the preacher, he clapped his hands and cried
out in kind of ecslacy, "Yes, thank God,
have been a Methodist twenty-five years,
and it never cost twenty iyfive cents"
God bless your slingy SOUL" cried the
preacher.

THE CHILD'S FOOTSTEPS.
BY MRS. f. II. EVANS.


BY MRS. E. H.. EVANS.
There is sound most musical and sweet,
sound that ever bringeth JOY 10 me,
And thoughts of innocence for angels meet,
And Warmest love in all its purity:
IT'S the light bounding step. all gay and fleet,
OF happy childhood, with its tiny feet.
No noiseless gliding, as on sin intent,
Nor slow and measured entrance at the door
Each footstep, with music eloquent,
Sounds clear on winding stairs OF polsh'd floor;
And ere the little dmpled face appears,
The quick, sweet bound hath charm d away nv
Whether in satin slipper delicate,
Or in IFS native freedom springing by;
If in proud palace halls lis petted fate,
Or in the lowly home Of poverty:
Alike its buoyant gladness charms the ear,
And bringeth thought of heavenly beauty near
wonder not, if, in his lowly guise.
Surrounded by the harden d and the vile,
A sudden spIendor lit the SAv1ouR's eyes,
And his lips parted with holy smile,
When, with their upward, sunny gaze, drew nigh
The little fearless forms of infancy.
All, blessed little ones Their rosy charms
Lean d on His bosom, all unpaled by fear:
Serenely resting in His mighty arms
Who framed the glory OF each starry sphere,
No thoughts Of sinful years for Them uprose;
No grief or shame 10 mar theirsweet repose.
Then LET his lowly followers not dsdain
To guard such fower-like beauty for their
LORD,
Nor deem the moments wasted, while they train
Fair infant minds obedent TO his word
Nay, rather let us, as their bloom we view,
: Seek our own innocent pleasures 10 renew

the most critical period Of my life, she pre-
