Affecting g Scene.


AT the close Of the late trial of Stephens
in New York, for the murder of his wife,
after the virdict of guilty had been rem
dered, and the jurors retired. the specta-
tors dispersed, the sheriff with bis depu.
ties approached the prisoner. His ,lit,le
daughter Bella, about six years old, turn
ed towards Stephens, and after kissing
him, said. "Come. pal let us go now, is
is all over, see, pa! the people are going"
Human nature, says the New York Ex-
press, could not stand this--the sheriff
turned away to hide a tear, AMI retired
leaving the prisoner alone with his rela.
tives and counsel. Pocket hapdkerchiefs
were drawn out by many persons, pres.
ent, and the attempts Of the male
portion of the audience to stop the outlet
of the hearts fountain, were Of no avail
Such an affecting scene has rarely been
witnessed. -.

Who among the thyme and clover t.f5s

And he came one summer evening, ASS
With his ringlets DER his eyes, -....

For Pm very tired Of playp
And he said his, "Now Ilay me-"
In a kind of careless way. or
And he drank the cooling water
From his little silver cup,
And said gaily. When it's morning,
Will the angels take me upY
Down he sank with rogush laughter
In his little trundle- bed,
And the kindly god Of slumber
Showered the poppies Ser his head.
"What could mean his speaking Strangely"
Asked his musing mother then

What can he of angels ken7"
There he lies, how sweet and placidl
And his breathing comes and goes
Like Zephyr moving softly,

Her troubled ear again,

Travels from his lungs in pain,

From his check hath chased the bloom.

Great Strike in London.

tain requistions made on them by their
employers, and to secure limit Of nine

in Hyde Park, attended by twenty thou

characterised by sturdy determination
Of tone. Mr.. Facey, painter, presided.
The movement, he said, had not originals
ed with dissatisfied men, but had been
caused by the tyranny of the employers,
and the evils inflicted upon the working
classes by what was called the system Of
political economy. Their forefathers had
fought their way to liberty through blood
and death. The force Of reason was now
stronger than that of the sword. Other
speakers denounced the employers and
political economy, as understood in Eng
land. The crisis had come, said Mr.. Os-
born, plasterer. The employers had
said that at the end of the week they
would lock the workman out. Mr.. Por-
tez, q joiner, said the masters had raised
"a combination among themselves to put
down combination among the workmen.
Eighty provincial houses had sided with
the workmen. The London Times, which
was against the movement, was gibbeted

A Curious Love Story.

SAYS the Easton (Pa.) A,yus' "First
love the world generally admits is always
the most sincere. An instance illustrating
the truth of this recently came to our
knowledge; which is worth repeating
Forty five years ago a young man named
Peterson, served his apprenticeship at the
printing business, in the Office Of Chris
tian Jacob Hunter, Of this place. While
in his employ he became interested in a
young lady Of our town, and proposed
marriage. He was accepted, but the
mother of the girl opposed the match and
broke it off. After finishing his trade, he
he went to one of the Southern States, and
married sister of Hon. John M. Clayton,
former United States Senator from Della
ware. After having two children, his
wife died and left him widower. He
then emigrated to Canada West, where he
became quite wealthy and prominent
man, and filed the office of County Re-
corder, a life appointment at Guel elph.-
There he married SECOND time, and be-
came second time a widower. Last
summer be passed through Easton on his
road to Wilmington, where his daughter
was at school, and while here made in-
quiry after the sweetheart of his younger
days. Ascertaining that she was widow,
and resided in Philadelphia, he called up
on her, renewed his acquaintance. and af-
ter more than forty years separation,
again proposed marriage to her and was
accepted. He was TO have come on here
this very week to be married, but was ta-
ken suddenly sick, about ten days ago,
with an attack of pleurisy and died after
short illness. A few days before his death,
he wrote to the.object Of bis FIRST affec
tiops, telling her that he was doubtless on
his dying bed and never expected to see
her again on earth.

CUCUMBER SALAD.-Pare the cucum-
bers, land as you slice them, score the ends
that they may be in small bits, as if
slightly chopped. Add some small young
onions, also one small cayenne pepper,
salt, little ginger, the juice Of half a
lemon, and some vinegar. This will be
found an excellent salad, and does not
disagree with weak stomachs.- Cottage
