shared the fate of the poor infants, and that
the story of Blue Beard in wide trousers, loose
robe and turban, was not much exaggerated.
But crime cannot always go unpunished.
Even then, when the rich ruled over the poor,
justice and mercy triumphed at last. The
cries and entreaties of the broken peo-
pie around his domains reached the ears of his
superior, John Y. He was arrested and bro't
before tribunal of justice. His palace was
thrown open to the public gaze, and its horrid
dens and vaults were swift witnesses against
him. He was found guilty of murders by
scores, and after confessing many crimes, be-
fore unknown, he was burnt at the stake in
Nantes, 1440. This was the original of ssBlue
Beard" and there, although more than four
hundred years have passed away since he paid
the penalty of his crimes, the broken walls
and jagged turrets still stand as memorial
that the wicked shall not go unpunished.

TRUE YANKEE.-A Yankee out walking in
Virginia at Wheeling, while to himself talk
ing, experienced feeling-strange-pa painful
and alarming from his caput to his knees, rs
he was suddenly covered o'er with bees -
They rested on his eye lids, and perched upon
his nose they colonized his peaked face, and
swarmed upon his clothes. They explored his
swelling nostrils and dove deep into his ears,
they crawled up his trowsers, and filed his
eyes with tears. Did he yell like hyena p
Did he hollow like a loon 2 Was he scarf and
did he "cut and run 20 or did the critter
swoon2 Meier a one. He wasn't scarf
mite he never swoons--or hollers but he
hiv'd 'em in nail kee tight and sold 'em for

1 WISH SOMEBODY,D COME.

The flowers are blooming on the lawn,
The birds are singing free,
And everything is full of life
And happiness but me;
The flowers look strangely dull to-day,
They are shadowy as my dreams,
And very lonely seem to me
The sunlight's golden CLEANS.
AS for the birds, / heed them not,
They had as we'll be dumb;
They cannot charm my heart to-day
L wish soMEBoDY'D GOMEZ
I've tried my books-my music, too,
I've tried it DER and DER
But. pshaw cannot see my notes,
My eyes keep wandering so.
Unanswered notes before me lie,
I'll count them one, two, three;
And here are letters waiting, too,
And what are they to mel
My books are stale-my music
Discordant as a drum,
My voice is very bad to-day
wish SOMEBODY d come
The sun is setting in the west,
And twilight deepens now,
And night GENES forth, an ebon queen,
With jewels on her brow;
The cat is sleeping on the hearth,
The bell has rung for tea,
And not one living soul has come
What can the matter be?
The day is gone, the night comes on,
And / will look no more
There Bette, don't you hear the bell ?
SOMEBODY'S at the door,
