A Home Picture.

One autumn night when the wind was high
And the rain fell in heavy splashes;
| A little boy sat by the kitchen fire,
/, A popping corn in the ashes;
And his sister, curly haired child oil three'
Sat looking on just close by his Knee
The blast went howling round the house,
As if to get in twas trying,
1t ratified the latch of the outer door,
Then seemed baby crying;
Now and then drop down the chimney came
And sputtered and Kissed in the bright red haiile
Pop, pop-and the kernels one by one,
Came out of the embers flying;
The boy held long pine stick In his hand,
And kept it busily plying;
He stirred the corn and II snapped the more,
And faster Jumped to the clean-swept Hour.
A part of the kernels popped ont one way,
And part popped out the other;
Some flew plump into the sisters lap,
Some under the stool of the brother;
The little Girl gathered them into heap,
And called them flock of milk-whlte sheep.
Al once the boy sat still a7.amonse,
And into the fire kept gazlng;.
He quite forgot he vas popping corn,
For he looked where the wood was blazing
He looked. and fanced that he could see
A house and barn, bird and tree.
Still steadily gazed the boy at these,
And pussy's grey back kept stroklng,
Till little sister cried out ''why, Bub,
Only see how the corn is smokingW
And sure enough, when the boy looked lack,
The corn in the ashes was burnt quite black.
.sNever mind - said he eve shall have enough,
So now. let's set back and eat it;
I'll carry the stools and you the corn;
'T'is nice-nobody can beat it."
She took up the corn in a pinafore,
And they ate it all, nor wished Tor more

The Sabbath i'm Paris.

As the light of the Sabbath's sun COM
menced waning in the sky, and when the
mild balmy air OF evening had succeeded to
the rather oppressive heat of the day, we
went forth to see for ourselves the way in
which the Sabbath evening is kept in Pa
ris. We went from the palace of the Tu-
illeries, through its garden, and the Place
de la Concorde, and the Champs d. Ely
sees. Thence we turned into the Boule-
wards and through the Rue Rich. Leu, home.
And such signs never beheld 1t would
seem as If all Paris had turned into the
streets. Here were soldiers marching in
platoons there was ballad singing under a
canopy, surrounded by people sitting on
benches and slipping wines and ices. Here
were elegantly dressed girls dancing and
there was a crowd collected around gam
boiling mohkies. Here was man selling
trinkets at auction, and there were gam.
bling tables. Here were few womea GO
ing to church and there were crowds o.
men and women rushing to the theatre ant
opera. The boulevards were densely
crowded the shops were all open-theIl
windows surrounded by admirng specta-
tors and at short Intervals the sidewalks
were covered with tables, around which
men and women sat, in the open air, rega-
ling themselves with wines and confection-
cry. Occasionally you would come to a
stand in the Champs d Elysees where men
were playing at all kinds of mounte-bank
tricks, surrounded by hundreds of admiring
spectators. The restaurants seemed crowd
ed BY men, women and Children, Not a
vestige Of evidence to remind you OF the
Sabbath was any place apparent. The
Whole route taken through the city wore tie
appearance Of a Fourth of July in New
York when booths were allowed around the
Park. The proof was positive that Paris
at least has no religion. And it Is very re
maTkable 70 what extent the manner II
which tile Sabbath is kept is a type Of th'
moral character of people, and of man
A Partisan Sabbath is as certain an indel

The Iiobber Joaquin.

The California papers of the LIST Marcl
give full particulars of the atrocities .ofth'
Mexican robber Joaquin, who was still a
large, notwithstanding the strenuous efort
made 10 capture him. a reward Of one thou
sand dollars offered for his arrest.by The
Governor of California. The San Francis.
co Herald says; :u
"The audaeity with which bandit Joa-
quin and bis half dozen cut throats commit
their atrocities and the perfect impunity
with which they have thus far escaped
through a numerous and exasperate popu-
latiqn, has appeared inexplicable.
"From the accounts we publish to-day,
it seems they are sweeping through Gale
veras With high hand, slaughtering and
robbing in camp after camp in the face of
their pursuers and in mockery of all efforts
to capture them. The unhappy Cinnamon
are the greatest sufferers at the hands of
these assassins, no less than eight of them
having been shot down in mere wanton-
ness in one camp. ..
ga Mexican SUSPECTED to be member
of the band has been arrested and execut-
ed at San Andres. After his sentence he
confessed that
"Hc was of Joaquin's party but not a
conspicuous or leading member. His obi
gallons confne him to certain district,
out of which he dare not travel. He was
compelled to be in readiness at all times,
and turn out Immediately on receiving an
order from any of his superiors. He was
also required 10 notice passing events and
to apprise the company Of anything that
transpired affecting their welfare. He was
bound to shelter and protect any Of the
brethren who were in danger, to. procure
horses and assist them in their escape at
all hazards, rendering all the aid and COM
fort to the band which lay in his power"
Upon this statement the Calaveras Chron-
icle remarks:
"Such combination as this cannot ca
silly be broken up, and it shows degree
of skilful generalship in the leaders greater
than they have been given credit for
From this statement we can easily under
stand how Joaquin obtains Ills splendid an
imals. These agents know where the best
horses are kept, make themselves familiar
with the locality, and on the arrival of the
band are required to procure. them forth
with. Thus they have always fresh hor-
ses, and generally the best in the country.
The leaders :,of the, band were Joaquin,
Candio and Reiz. These were the party
who killed the sheriff of Yuba Claudio hav-
ing fred the shot. He was at Monterey
when last heard fiom, whittier he had gone
to drive cattle. Reiz is still with Jo-
aquin."

and where it is now produced in large
quantity. and of better quality than in any
country Of the Malayan Islands, Java ex-

leaves, and bears fruit for, about twenty
years. The leaf, and even the twigs, have,

ApoLLYoN AND THE DUKE.-We see in
the English papers curious anecdote OF
Wellington, quoted from the New Quarter
ly Review:
Some years since, the duke was sitting
at his library table, when the door opened
and, without any announcement, in stalk
ed a figure Of singularly ill omen. "Who're
your" asked the duke, in his short, dry
manner, looking up, without the. least
change of countenance, upon the intruder.
81 am Apollyon.." "What want' 81 am
sent TO kill you" ''Kill me very odd"
"1 am Apollyon, and must put you to
death" obliged to do it to-day :" 81 am
not told the day Or the hour, but | must do
my mission Every inconvenient-very
busy-great many letters to write-call
again, and write me word-I'll be ready
for you."-and the duke went on with his
correspondence. The maniac, appalled,
probably by the stern, unmovable old man,
backed out of the room, and in half an hour
was safe in bedlam.

OUNCES Love SALT.-The Ounce tree
seems to have constitutional fondness. for
salt. We have never seen, says the Hor-
ticulturists, such superb specimens of this
fruit, and such general luxuriance of the
trees, as at Newport, Rhode Island, on the
Sea Coast. A gentleman who noticed this
fact several years ago told US lately that he
had profted by the hint in giving to each
of his trees topdressing of two quarts Of
salt every spring. BY scattering the salt
over the surface it dissoves slowly, and
does no harm whatever to the roots, but
makes both foliage and fruit more healthy.
