CALLING FOR HELp.-When Dick
Alma first crossed into New York State
from the Canada side, he took lodging
at an inn in Canandaigua. A waiting
maid sat at the table with him, and Dick
spoke of her as the servant, to the no
small scandal OF the host, who told him
that in his house the servants were call :.

The Reported Story Of the Fate of
Gus Kate Hastings. l-

In Paris, recently, we hear OF the
death Of ono Of the most notorious OF
New York courtezans. No turn out on
Broadway equalled her's-no liveries
more tasteful-no horses more spirited
no couple more neat and distingue.--
Her house was the resort Of statesn1 en-,
politicians, merchants, and all sorts Of
people. She was as notorious as Broad.
way itself.
After numerous adventures. which we
shall not detail, this woman formed the
acquaintance Of shrewd old French
woman who pretended to be spiritual
medium. The courtezan got up "cir.
cles" at her house, which were attended
by numerous respectable people so call
ed. She was pronounced "seeing me.
dium )" and strange things were said to
traDspire in mysterious room which
was reserved entirely for the "circle." T"
The chief priestess was the old French
woman who persuaded the usually quick
witted courtezan that she might thus OBJ.
tain title Of nobility. The spirits had
Informed the old woman that barber
near Bond street (the old womsn's repu.
ted heir,) wasan illegi,ima.e son of the
King Of Denmark. The courtezan be.
lieved this story and married the barber.
She sold all her property, amounting to
twenty thousand dollars or more. and
then went ab road 70 look for the large
title and estates which her husband was
to have as the gift Of his Majesty Of Den.
mark. The party went to Hamburg,
where the poor deluded victim was per.
sua,led by the "spirits" that she was on.
ciente, and that the King would settle
large sum on hsf child and make her
countess. She believed everything and
only awoke from her dream when her
new husband walked off with all her
funds, leaving her entirely destitute, in
debt, and in a foreign land. The re.
Of the story'is not quite clear,
but tits stated that the deserted woman
found her way TO-. Paris. and there died
in public hospital. ~

Time.

On never chide the wing of Time,
Or say its tardy in his fight,
You'll find the days speed quick enough
II ye but husband them Alright.
The span Of life is waning fast,
Beware, unthinking youth, beware;
The souls ETERNITY depends
Upon the record MOMENTS bear.
Time is, indeed, precious boon,
But with the boon task is given;
The heart must learn its duty well
To Man on earth and God in heaven.
Take heed. then, play not with thine hours
Beware, unthinking youth, beware;
The one tcho acts the part he OUGHT,
WILL HAVE But LITTLE TINE TO SPARE.

THE DESERTED SCHOOL HOUSE.

SoxsRE. sombre grow its outline,
As it rose above the trees;
Sad and lonely was the music ~.
Wrought around il by the breeze:
Mournfully itseemed to whisper
OF the merry hours now past;
And the leaves gave back an echo
To The mumur Of the blast.
From the roof had fallen the chimney,
And the hinges Of the door
Had unclasped their hold upon II,
Creaked 10 open it no more:
Worn the threshold by the friction
or young feet that now are old,
Or from earth long since departed.
And alas, now, now '.turned to mould"
Moss had closely twined around it.
Sought TO hide its sure decay, t.
While passing glenn Of sunlight
Warmed and cheered it with its ray:
But the worm had eaten through it,
And il crumbled to the touch;
Those who once trod lightly DER it,
Dreamed not that its fate was such.
Up the aisles now swept unheeded
Every dreary storm Of rain; e
For the windows now could boast not
or one solitary pane; -. ..
And the floor, once while and snowy,
Covered was with damp green mould,
While the crawling worm. unoticed,
Here his fevels dark did hold.
From the desks the nails had rusted,
And lay scattered on the ground;
While the shattered desks seemed keeping
Mournful time with each sad sound;
On their surface yawned the carvings,
Quantity wrought by urchin's knife;
But cen these the wounds were showing
From the elements wild strife.
Firm the masters desk was standing,
As of yore, when there in power,
He. with careful hand expanded
Each young bud to form the flower;
And the FOOLS cap, "sad regalia,"
In the fartlIest coper lay; 30
While the spider had bedecked 1t
With veil of silver grey.
To the window clung the woodbine, rt
With the frost tinge on IFS leaf,
And it nodded 10 the swaying.
OF the wind in deepest grief: .
Vet little, and twill follow
Those who long since twined it there;
And the easement, old and dingy,
Will be left alone and bare. ea
All around was sad and dreary--
Spoke Of lingering decay;
And the mingled, mournful chorus
or the voices seemed to say: M
