The BELLE tND THE STUDENr.-At a
certain Splendid evening party naughty
young beauty turnedto astudent who stood
near her and said, 'C"Gousin John, under
stand your excentric friend L. is here,
l have great curiosity to see him. Do
bring him here and introduce him to me, I"
The student wentin search ofhis friend,
and at length found him lounging on a
sofa, e-s 4 sL.n s. s,e gn- a p.

cousin Catharine wishes to be introduced

John returned to his cousin and advised
her to defer the Introduction till more IA
vorable time, repeating the answer he, had
received. The beauty bit her lip, but the
next moment said, well never tearl / shall
insist on being introduced. -ls , Fi::.b
After some delay. L L---was led uI

and commanding appearance of Catharine

TIE MIsER.-Of all the creatures upon
earth, none is so despicible. as the miser
1t is not Impossible that the proaigate may
have friend, for there is usually left about
him some touch of humanity-some un-
broken chord of the finer feelings Of our ma
ture; but the miser meets with no svmpa-
thy. Even the nurse who is hired to
attend him in his latest hours, loathes the
ghastly occupation, ami longs fol, the mo-
ment other release; for although the death
damp is already gathering on his brow, the
thoughts of the departing sinner are still
upon his gold; at the mere jinsling of a
key he starts from his torpor in parox-
ysm of terror, lest a surreptitious attempt
is being made upon the sanclity of his
strong box. &t ~ ''s'- @a'l .-'
There are no prayers of the orphan or
the widow for him--not a solitary voice
has ever breathed his name to heaven, as a
benefactor. One poor penny given away
inthe spirit Of true charity, would now be
worth more to him than all the gold the
world contains; but. notwithstanding that
he was "a church, going NAH, and familiar
from his infancy With those awful texts in
which the worship of Mammon is depounc-
ed and the punishment, Of Dives told, he
has never yet been able to divorce himself
from his solitary love of lucrc, or to part
with one atom of his pelf r -. ~
And so, from a miserable life, detested
and despised, he passes into a dreary
eternity; and those whom he has neglected
or misused, make merry with the boards Of
the miser!

B1GAMY.AA curious case Of bigamy was
tried recently in the California courts. A
man was married in England under the
laws there, but the Roman Catholic Vicar
General, in California, on ascertaining that
the woman had nevsr been bdptised in the
Conan Church, annulled the marriage, and
married the man again to another woman
by the Romish forms This decree of the
Church, however, ives not considered as

"Yes-O, yes" quickly uttered the boy
in earnest tones, Yes-I should. love TO
learn. I don't want TO be bad boy," he
thrillingly added, wlfile his coun.enance
glowed with unwopted animation. ~
Mr.. Kelley promised to purchase books
for the boy as fast as he could learn to read
them, and, when George Henry left the
sGhool-room, his face was wet with tears.
We scholars, who had remained in the en- i.
try, saw him come out and our hearts were
warmed towards him. We spoke kindly
to him, and walked with him to his house,
and his heart was too full for ut.erance.
On the next day George Henry com
menced studying in good earnest, and the
teacher helped him faithfully. Never did
Lsee a change SO radical and sudden as that
which took place in the habi;s of the poor
boy.
AS soon as the teacher treated him with
kindness and respect, The scholars followed
the example, and tie result was, that they
found in the unfortunate youth one Of the
most noble hearted, generous and accom-
modating and truthful playmates in the
world. s1a 'a is4 sl''.i' '7f a4a
Long years have passed since those
school,boy days. George Henry has be-
come man of middle age, and in all the

You who are school ol-teachers, remember
the responsibility which devolyes upon you.

Crime in Ohio in 1888.

We have gathered from the repor, Of
Attorney General Pugh, for the year end.
ing on the lsl of December, the following
interesting statistics.
In convictions for crimes, seven have
been for murder in the second degrees
twenty for manslAughter, nine for rape, one
for bigamy, five for arson, thirty flour for
burglary, ten for assault, with intent to
murder, two with intent 10 ravish. two
with intent 10 rob, lorly.lhree for grand
larceny, of which the "Slale of Hamilton"
furnished seventeen, seven for robbery,
three Tor forgery, seventeen countorfeiters,
two lor malicious shooting, aud four for
malicious slabbing, seventeen horse thieves,
and several for other crimes. Altogether,
the prisoners were sentenced last year TO
1856 years imprisonment-and seven of
the prisoners for life. These prosecutions
cost the State $l4,909,S3. The number
Of aequhtsls for crimes was 93; the nolIe
prosequis Il IL; Of the former were three
cases OF indictments for murder in the first
degree.
The convictions for misdemeanors BY
which we mean petit larceny, assaults, &C.,
were l54S, acquitlals and nolles 645.-
There are some 100 indictments for crimes
and misdemsanors now pending, among
them five cases for murder in the first de-
gree, not including one or two cases now
in error, or determined since Mr.. Pugh's
report was made out.
This report differs very little from that
of the year 1852. when the prisoners in
all were sentenced 10 800 years, and elk
imprisoned for lille, and three capital con-
