"lady" attached looking into the dining room
she finds them both at dinner, as loving as any
newly married couple should be. But their
sweets were turned 10 n bitter emp in a short
time Mrs Bramans perseverance, was here
put to the test. She puts on her bonnei, seeks
the police Office, lays her complaint with tear
ful eyes before the officer, and it was but very
few minutes work for Capt Shaw TO have Ben
iamin p. Braman and Addie Fisher, arrested,
and in moment after the guilty pair were ush-
cred into the police Ofiee, there 10 confroni an
injured wife Words were inadequate to de-
scribe the amazement, the confusion, the choked
ulterance Of the guilty pair.
After consultation, Mrs b., with her husband
and paramour in The hands Of two police officers,
took the train for Boston on arriving, the
guilty pair were lodged in the Doylsion ct. sta
tion house. On Friday, the 9th Of July, the
parties. with several friends, were all before
Capt Eaton at tho police station. There, with
contrtion and peniience, on bonded knees Bra
man mplored his wife TO forgive-the' lovely
: Addo begged tho indulgence and forgiveness OF
Mrs D., and a more pathetic and trying scene
than was enacted there that day, Boston has
+ never seen The Tesul, Of all this was thai
once more Mrs Braman took viper 10 her bo
som, and imprinted the seal Of forgiveness by I
kiss on his forehead, even after the guilty twaii
had signed paper acknowledging adultery
Addie was taken by her aunt.
Mr. and Mrs Braman returned TO their board
ing house, she supposing twas no, in the hear
of man to deceive again. Bot on "Wednesday
last, Braman, who was o. wardly all pentence
urgently eutreaied his wife to go to Bridgewa

And what docs this monster then lie goe

How THEY READ TIE NRwsPAPERs.-Ii is
proof of the great variety of human develop
meni to notice persons reading newspapers
Mr. General Intelligence first glances at tho
telegraph, then at the editorial, and then goes
OF into the correspondence.
Mr. Sharper opens with stocks and markets,
and ends with the advertisements for vans,
hoping to find victim.
Aun; Sakey first reads the stories, and then
looks to see who's married.
Miss Prime looks at the marriage column
first, and then reads the stories.
Mr. Marvellous is curious TO see the list of
accidents, murders and the like.
Uncle Ned hunts Up the funny things, and
then smokes and laughs at his will.
Madame Gossip turns TO the local department
for her thunder, and having obtained that,
throws the paper aside.
Mrs Friendly drops the frs, tear Of sympa-
thy over the death column, and the next over
the marriages for says she, one is about as
bad as the other
Mr. Politician dashes into the telegraph, and
1 from that into the editorial, ending with tho
speeches.
Our literary friend is eager for nice compo-
siiion from the editor or some kind correspon-
dent. After analyzing the rhetoric, grammar.
and logic of the production, he turns a careless
glance at the news department, and takes to his
Greek perfectly satisfied.
The laborer searches among the wants fur a
better opening in his business, and-bui enough,
an extension Of the list were useless. There
is just as much difference in readers as in=-
anything else
But the worst is yet to come. If each does
not find column or less Of his peculiar liking,
the editor has, Of course, been lazy and is un-
worthy Of patronage. Oh, who would MT be
an editor or-ABony. Knieker5oeler. ..-.

The New York Tribune, in lis record Of the
proceedings had in the Police Court under the
liquor law, gives the following -
Mr. Il. Percy Delancey Blobb-Had been ar
res,el for disturbing the res, and quiet of an IN
appreciative neighborhood by bawling forth at
midnight most unmelodious yells, which, when
apprehended he assured the officer were capi-
tai limitations of Soniag and Grisi. Mr. Blobb,
although pretending to geuilliy, and disguised
in some of the habilimenis that gentlemen wear,
had been discovered by Policeman 1901 in the
street in a most plobsian state Of drunk--not SO
much 50 but that I've could sing, US he called il,
and could talk after an original fashion Of his
own. His ideas were slightly confused he
informed the officer that he had been to hear
Louisa Grown sing tho Pync Diamonds. and
that he met friend who took him to a billiard
shop TO see a clam race that ho and his friend
bet the wliskey on the result that he drunk
for both, and that they had passed the remain
der Of the evening in ''magnorious manner"
singing Storm Columbus, ,"" Y ankea Boobies" !"
and the "Scar Siran2led Bladder"
The officer had taken him to the lock up
where he had finished the night singing Good
Old Daniel, whistling the Prima Donna Waltz,
and playing an imaginary piano On the -four, in
which attempt he had broken off his fnger-nails
and put his wrist ou, Of joint. When brought
into court he was still wild, and disposed 10 re-
gale the assembled company with a numerous
collection of songs, which he had at his stongue 5
end. His shir, collar was wilted, his neckiie
was pointing towards his right eye like that Of
I burton in the "Tooiles," his hair was ont OF
curl, and the damp Of the cell or the excite
meni of the occasion had SO affected his hair
dye, tha, one-half his mous,ache was dirty
yellow, and the other pale green, while his
goa,ee was brilliant brick color, picked out
with spots of bright blue. He kept an eye
constantly on tho Judge, while he distributed
the gances of the other equally among the Of
hcers and other spectators. He was musicaly
obstinate, refusing to answer any questions OIL
make any remarks except in sciaps Of songs
which he sung in low voice, mixing up III.
tunes in a most perplexing manner. Being
possessed Of an excellent memory and having
large assortment Of melodies al his commsnd
his answers were sometimes more amusing thar
relevant. The judge proceeded to intarrogat'
him somewhat as follows
Judge-What is your name, sir
Prlsoner-"My name IS Robert Kidd, as
sailed"
Indignant Oficer-He lies, your honor, hi
} name is Blobb.

PAY YouR HEIP.-The laborer is worthy
Of his hire. II those who hire would remem-
Der il, great would be the advantage to the hir-
ed aud great the gain TO justice. But very
frequently the employer forgets he thinks it
is Of no consequence hired can ask if they
want it, or it is not convenient to pay just When
it is due. This is all wrong. The employed
have their engagements TO meet as well as en-
poyers. They have a credit to sustain, and
probably enjoy the feeling, as do others, that
money is quite as safe in their own hands or de-
posted according to their will, as il held by a
slack and very busy creditor. They generally.
too, dislike to have to dun their employers for
money, and il sensitive win suffer before de-
manding IT, BE just, and pay promptly

MISCELLANY.
MY HUSBANDS PATIENTS.
BY MRS. MADELINE LESLIE.

In little ingle or nook, formed by cessa-
,ion of the bold bluffs, rising abruptly from the
sea, is snugly nestled small catiage, if such
it may be called, where from morn till eve, and
from eve ill morn, may be heard the voice Of
God saying to the great waters, Thus far, but
no farther In this quiet retreat lived little
James Mcdonald. with his mother and sister
and though at a distance from any other habita-
tion, yet they were not afraid When the
Storm ragged and the ocean roared, they only kept
closer within their neat and cheerful abode
They felt safe under the protecting care of
Him who giveIh TO the sea his decree that the
waters should not pass his command When
the long days OF summer came, then would
Jamie lead ais little sister carefully down the
low bluff upon which their home was built, and
gently lifting her from stone to stone, would
soon reach the smooth, hard beach, which lay
for mile in extent before the cottage door
Here their merry children were never tired Of
playing, sometimes collecting a quantity Of
clean shells, and carrying them 10 rock out
Of the reach Of the common lJes, and using
them for plates, with which they could set out
their monday repast sometimes building hou-
ses of the fine, clean sand which covered the
beach.
jamie and Lottie had never known another
home and they loved the bright waves which
ever kept rolling and breaking In white surf
upon the shore. They could hardly have known
how to sing and shout, as they did from morn
ing till night, without the accompaniment Of
the breaking billows. They grew 10 be as ex-
perienced as mariners in calculating the ebb and
flow of the tide, and the length of time before
the waves would rise TO their landmarks.
But let us leave jamie and his sister, stand
ing with bare feet just out of reach, as they
think, of the next wave, running backward and
shouting with great glee, as it laves their tiny
shoes, and return to the cottage, where Mrs
Mcdonald is busy with her work.
A year or two before Jamie was born, Jane
Mcdonald, with her young husband, left theil
native land, in the north of Scotland, and cam,
TO find home in this free country. True i
was that they had but an iudstinct idea in wha
that freedom consisted but wonderous reports
had reached them from kindred and friends
who had come to find their fortune in Ameri
ca and their ties 10 their father land being
one by one cut off, as father, mother, and sis
ter were taken to heavenly country, then i
was that they determined to seek new hom
in the western world.
Immediately upon landing, they were cordi
ally met by near relative, and received int

THE New DoME ON THE CAPlroL.-Tho
workmen have commenced framing the scaiIold-
ing for the construction of this novel and mag
nifeent structure. The old dome is to be taxi
en- down entirely 10 the roof of the Capitol,
and base constructed of 25 feet in height and
l32 feet in diameter, somewhat Of an octagon-
al plain. On this stands noble colonnade Of
1872 feet ia diameter, consisting of SO columns,
with appropriate entablaiures, balus,fades, &C.,
from which rises an enriched attic Of 80 feet in
height by i07 feet in diameter. This attic
forms the base of the cupola, the diameter Of
which is SO feet and the height so feet The
whole is crowned by gracefully lly-proporiioned
lantern, supporting colossal statue of the god
dess OF liberty.
The entire elevation from the ground on the
eastern front Of the building is 800 feet. The
interior is exceedingly rich, and the ornaments
are of bold and striking character. The
present roiunaa is preserved as high as the top
of the cornice above this win be gallery
over which belt of sculpture nine feet high,
and nearly 800 feet long, extends around tho
entire dome. Above this there is succession
of galleries, eolonnados, attics and balustrades,
surrounded by an hemispherical ceiling, crown
ed with lantern at the height of els feet from
the floor. The highest point Of lookout is 275
feet above the ground on the eastern front, and
the highest point from which the interior may
be seen is els feet above the door.
The whole work is 10 be of iron, from bot
tom 10 top, inside and outside. Il will be tho
first structure Of the kind ever built entirely Of
this material. The design, as we'll as the
working drawings, is by Mr. Walter, the arch.
itect Of the Capitol extension, and the execu-
tion Of the work is under the direction of Cap

POETRY.
From the New.York Journal Of Commerce. !
BABIE BELL.

L
BABIE BELL.
Have you not heard the poet tell
How came the babe Bell,
Into this world Of ours
The gates Of Heaven were len njar:
With folded hands and dreamy eyes
She wandered out of Paradise
She saw this planet like a star
Hung in the depths Of purple oven
Its bridges, running to and fro,
O'er which the bright-winged seraphs go
Bearing the holy Dead to Heaven
She touched bridge Of flowers those feet,
So light they did not bend the bells
OF the celestial asphodels
They fell like dew upon the flowers
And all the air grew strangely sweet
And thus came dainty babie Bell
Into this world of ours
o babie, dainty babie Bell
How fair she grew from day to day
What woman nature filled her eyes,
What poetry within them lay
Those deep tender twilight eyes,
So full Of meaning pure, and bright
As if she yet stood in the light
OF those oped gates Of Paradise
And we loved babies more and more
. never in our hearts before
Such holy love was born;
We felt we had a link between
This real world and that unseen
The land Of deathless mornl
For love Of her whom God led forth
The mother's being ceased on earth
When babe came from Paradsel
For love Of him who smote our lives,
And woke the chords of joy and pain,
We said, Sweet Chrstl-our hearts bent down
Like violets after rainl
1t came upon us by degrees;
We saw its shadow ere il fell.
The knowledge that our God had sent
His messenger for babo Bell!
We shuddered with unlanguaged pain,
And all cur thoughts ran into tears;
And all our hopes were changed to fears
The sunshine into dismal rainl
Aloud We cried in our belief
80, smite US gently, gently, Godl
Teach us to bend and kiss the rod,
And perfect grow through griefP'
All, how we loved her, God can tell;
Her little heart was cased in ours
They're broken caskets-babe Bell
AT last he came, the messenger,
The messenger from unseen lands
And what did dainty babie Bell
She only crossed her little hands,
She only looked more meek and fair
We parted back her silken hair;
We laid some buds upon her brow
Deaths bride arrayel in flowers!
And thus went dainty babie Bell
Out Of this world of ours.
