n Singular Escape.-A Dutch jour
nal contains the following singular ac-
count of the escape of woman of Zeven-
huiven from being poisoned by her hus-
band, and the prompt chastisement of the
latter:
"a man, whose name is not given,
availed himself of the opportunity Of his
wife quitting the dining table for some do
mestic purpose, and rapidly mixed poison
in the plate of soup which she had COM
menced eating. At the moment the wife
returned and re-seated herself, the hus,
band arose and quilted the apartment. un.
der pretext o. having forgotten something
necessary. The wife, upon this, was
about TO re-commence eating, but on so
doing, she discovered spider on her
plate, and having great repugnance TO
these insects, she changed her plate for
that of her husband, who returned imme-
diately sitter, sat himself down, and seeing
his wife had nearly finished her portion,
ate from the plate before him. In the
course of a few hours he began 10 feel the
effects of the poison, and, although medi-
cal aid was Instantly called in, died, con-
Tossing that he was justly punished for his
own intended crime.

It's appearance under circumstances of a
singular character. The meeting was
held in a room from which a door opens
into the basement of the tower in winch

our worthy Deacon had read the chapter
which gives an account of the Btazen
Serpent made by Moses. He had just
commenced making some remarks on the
chapter, and was speaking of the serpent
being lifted up so that all the bitten Israel
ties might see him and be healed when
the serpent of which we are writing made
his appearance on the top of the door open
inc into the basement Of the tower.
How he'crawled up there no one can
tell 81; but there he was on the top of the
door, his head and about one half of his
body hanging over in the room just in
rear of the Deacon's chair, and plainly TO
be seen by all in the loom except the
speaker. The serpent on the door al once

Infamous TrcGfmem Of u Uye.-
We published in Mondays Clipper the
particulars Of the murder in New Orleans
of young married woman by her hus-
band, an Irishman named Michael Ilig-
gins. The Crescent gives the following
additional in reference TO the case
Michael Higgins was yesterday arraign-
ed for examination on the Coroner's afll-
davir, charging him with killing his wife
Sarah, on Saturday night last, by shoot
ing her through door with a double-bar-
rel shot gun, while drunk. Owing TO the
absence Of witnesses for the prosecution,
however, the case was continued MI to
day, and Higgins was remauded TO Pris-
on. Ie was perfectly sober and cool yes
terday, as well as perfectly calous-ad-
hitting lhat-he shot his wife, but claim
ING that he did it accidentally, and put
ting on innocent airs. He is quite dan
difed young fellow, and was, while his
wife lived, $50 we are informed drunk
en-, reckless and. brutal, in proportion to
her goodmcss, mcekucos and Gorbearance.
Ii is said that it was a common thing for
him to 90 home at night with crowd o.
froIlicking lricnGs and make his wife COOS
extra meals for them after which hey
would drink, EIay cards, and cut up gem
till late hour, when the poor wife
be called upon TO make extra beds
I'm, turning the house upside down
all which she bore quietly and uncom-
plainingly. Her murder was shocking
and pi,iabie to the last degree but We
are inclined to think that her riddance
from such a monster of a husband, even
by murder, was happy event for her.

THE ORPHAN GIRL.

"Say, gentle stranger, why those tears
And why that mournful air?
They i'll become the tender years
OF one like thee SO fair!
IIast seen some loved one shrouded,
And laid within the tomb,
To make thy life so cIouded
With sorrow and with gloom"
"Alas," the little maid replied,
81 am an orphan child,
And since my gentle mother died,
No one has on me smiled.
"With frowns Of hate they gneet me now,
And scold and beat me oft;
They never soothe my aching brow
With hands, like mothers, soft.
'I'm. called an ugly orphan brat,
They will not let me pray;
They never kiss my checks, for that
Would drive my tears away.
.''My mother loved me, | am sure,
For oft I've seen her weep,
When piIlow'd or her bosom pure,
fcign'd to fall asleep.
"Then she would murmur with a sigh,
And clasp me strangely wild,
"Oh, God, if am doomed to die,
Wilt thou protect my child ~
"She died, and near that spot of ground,
Where yonder yew trees wave,
Is seen the howery- mound
OF my dear mothers grave.
"When bright the moon shines overhead,
And all arc hushcd in sleep,
go there s!yly from my bed,
To plant sweet flowers and weep.
"Lady there is no JOY for me,
And hence it is | cry: a
They use me so, long TO be
With mother and to die ~
She ceased, while tears ran thick and Ia
Adown her wasted check,
The lady saw, and stopping, clasped
Her little form so meek,
And bore her to her home away,
And reared her as her own,
And there, beneath loves tender sway,
Grief is no longer known.

The Destruction q .Ho3cow.--it was
on the I6ih Of September, 1912. Al
midnight, Napoleon, in utter exhaustion
of body and mind, retired TO rest. The
gales Of approaching winter shrieked Por-
tentously around The towers Of the Krem-
lin. Suddenly the cry of Fire ~ re-
sounded through the streets. Far cn in
the east, immense volumes Of billowy
smoke, pierced with fame, were rolling
up into the stormy sky. Loud explosions
of bursting shells and upheaving mines
scattered death and dismay around. Sud
denly the thunders as Of an earthquake
were heard in another direction. A scofr
of buildings were thrown in the air. Fla
ming projectiles, Of the most unquencha-
BILE material, we're scattered in all dlrec-
lions, and a new yaicano Of smoke and
fame commenced lis ravages. Earth
quake succeeded earlhquake--volcano
followed volcano. The demon Of the
storm seemed to exult in its high carnival
OF destruction. The flames were swept
in all directions. 4 shower of fire dc
scended upon all the dwellings, and all
the streets. Mines were sprung, shells
burst, cannon were discharged, wagons
of powder, ard magazines blew up, and
in few hours of iadesCribsble confusion
and dIsmay the whole vast city was wrap
ped in one wild ocean of flames. The
French soldiers shot the incendIarles bay
oneted lben, tossed them into ihe liaGies,
but still. Like demons, they Plej their
work.
