Generous Criminal.

A young man recently mnde his es.
cape from the galleys at Toulouse. He
was strong and vigorous, and soon made
his way across the country and escaped
pursuit. He arrived the next morning
before cottage in an open field. and
stopped to beg something to eat and con-
cealment while he reposed little. But
be found the inmates Of the cottage in the
greatest distress. Four little children sat
trembling in corner, their mother was
weeping and tearing her hair, and the
father walking the floor in agony. The
galley slave asked what was the matter,
and the father replied that they were that
morning to be turned out Of doors because
they could not pay their rent. "You see
me driven to despair" said the father,
"my wife and little children without food
or shelter and without means to pro-
vide any for Them" The convict listen
ed to this tale with tears Of sympathy,
and then said:
II will give you means. have but
just escaped from the galleys: who,
ever secures and takes back an escap.
ed prisoner is entitled to reward Of
fifty francs, How much does your rent
amount to?"
"Forty francs." answered the father.
"Well." said the other. "put cord
around my body, Twill follow you to the
city, they will recognize me, and you
will get fifty francs for bringing me
back"
"No, never!' exclaimed the as'onish.
ed listener, my children should starve
dozen times before I would do SO base
thing" ...'
The generous young man insisted, and
declared at last, that he would 60 and
give himself up, if the father would not
consent TO take him. After a long strug.
gle the latter yielded, and taking his pre-
server by the arm, led him to the city and
to the mayors office. Everybody was
surprised that little man like the father
had been able to capture such strong
young man, but the proof was before
them; tile fifty francs we're paid and the
prisoner sent back to the galleys. But
after he was gone, the father asked a pri.
vate interview Of the mayor, to whom he
told the whole story.
The mayor was so much affected that
he not only added fifty francs more to the
fathers purse, but wrote Immediately to
the minister Of justice, begging the noble
young prisoners release. The minister
examined into the affair, and finding that
it was comparatively small offense
which had condemned the young man to
the galleys, and that he had already
served out half his time, he ordered his
release. Is not the whole incident beau

The Heroism of Economy.


1t takes a hero to be economical, says
Miss Muloch. "For, will she not rather
run in debt for bonnet, than wear hel
old one year behind the mode? give a
bail and stint the family dinner for a
month after? take large house, and
furnish handsome reception rooms. while
her household huddle together anyhow
inuntidy attic bedchambels and her ser.
wants swelter on the shake downs beside
the kitchen fire? She prefers this a
hundred times to stating plainly. by words
or manner: "My income is so much a
year-I don't care who knows tit
will not allow me tolive beyond certain
rate, it will not keep comfortably both
my family and acquaintance; therefore,
excuse my preferring the comfort Of my
family to the entertainment of nv ac.

to look in upon us, you must just take us
as we are, without any preteuces Of any
kind; or you may shut the door, and
go by!"

1T ONLY SEEMS THE OTHER DAY.

Though swiftly Time, with rapid wings
Has born us from old scenes we knew;
Yet memory oft the picture brings,
In glowing colors back to view;
Thus early friends remember when
They frst as schoolboys met in play,
And yet, though years have passed since then,
1t only seems "the other day"
The form of her we loved Of yore,
To whom we pledged affections VOW,
Will glide before our eyes once more,
Tho Oh but in memory living now:
Of that dark hair rone tress alone
A treasured gifts spared decay,
Yet words in that familiar tone
Seem only breathed "the other day."
These friends appear no more the same,
That shared our mirth and diicd our tears;
Or taught us childhood's favorite game
The dear old friends of early years;
But when we ask if they forget.
Those memories of the past, they say
Though time has wrought some changes, yet.
1t only seems "the other d;y."

A Canary Bird Hanging Itself.

Recently canary bird belonging to a
lady OF Buffalo, as it was flying around
the room, happened to pick up long
hair and, flying with ittoits cage, COM
menced some evolutions with it. as
though it were about laying the lounda-
ton Of nest. By.and.by the hair
became entangled in its legs, and flying
around the cage, itgot over the perch,
and then around its neck. The lady,
after sometime observing that the usually
musical little pet was silent, went to the
cage, and there found the little warbler
actually suspended by the neck from it's
perch, and almost in the agoniss of
death.

Gloomy Hours.

It is dark when the honest and honor.
able men sees the result Of long years
swept cruelty away by the grasp ofkna-
wish, heartess adversely. 1t is dark
when he feels the clouds Of sorrow gather
around and knows that the host and
happiness Of others are fading with his
own. But in that. hour the memory Of
past integrity will be true support and
assure him. even on earth, Of CLEANS Of
light in Heaven.
1t is dark when the voice OF that dear
child, once so fondly loved, lie no more
heard around in murmurs. Dark when
The light, pattering feet no more resound
without the door, or ascend step BY step
the stair. Dark when some well known
melody racalls the strain once oft attuned
by the childish voice now hushed in
death! Darkness, indeed; but only the
gloom which beralds the day.spring Of
Immortality and the infinite light of
Heaven.
1t is dark. when in later life we tread
the scene Of long.vanished pleasures pure
and innocent. whose memory has often
thrilled our soul-whose voices like some
phantom had, are ever sweet and sad;
but never sadder than when Ginning
with the after.ccho, 1--WE return no more!'
Ring as ye will, sweet voices, there are
loftier joys awaiting in the golden Eden
land, which lies beyond the sunset of
life, and is gladdened by the light above
in Hea ven.
1t is dark, very dark when the grim
hand OF sickness has passed fearfully
over us with its deathly. magnetic stroke
and left behind the ife.enduring sorrows
Of blindness, decrepitude, or debility -
1t is dark, sadly dark, when we ere neg
lected Tor the lair and comely who
abound in this heartless world. Cheer
up, though, poor sufferer; for there be
those among the angels who love thee,
and thou wilt yet shine, fair as they
when touched by the light above in hea-
ven.
1t is dark 10 the heart OF man all over
this fair green earth. 1t is dark beneath
the monday sky-dark in the sun ray,
the moonbeam, the starlight. But for
the true heart and trusting soul, who
lives in the life Of love and gentleness,
there bsameth ever light ofjoy from
Heaven. ---..,0.

Big City and Little City Papers.

TIE GAINESVILLE aurora has the follow.
ing pointed remarks on this snbiect,
which we commend to the attention OF
those to whom they may be applicable;
"Many persons want to know why we
or others cannot publish such a paper
as they do in Cincinnati, or the Eastern
cities. e
If the person who asks this is a store.
keeper, we answer by asking him: ''Why
do you not keep splendid Wholesale store
like they do in New York city? Oh, you
would if people would buy goods enough?
Yes, you are pretty smart fellow. and
we would publish a big paper. il you,
with your little stores. could give US, as
they do at the East, thousands of dollars
for advertising. So, you see. as you are
potato Of no great magnitude, we are
compelled to be about the same.
If the farmer asks US this question, we
ask him why be does not keep large and
splendid stock farm, as they do in Illinois
and Kentucky. And he will answer that
be cannot afford it, and that this land and
the business Of the country is not adapt
ed 70 it, and he can easily imagine cur
answer. ,.'a s.. -a ~
And here is question we would like
to ask all: Will your big Eastern or Gin.
cinnati papers espouse your local battles
or enter into defense ofcounty interests?
Will not these papers rather do all they
csn for homo and leave you to take care
Of yourselves? Then why do you not
have common sense and take care of those
whose interest and desire it is to fight your
battles. -f e f.r

Among the Anniversaries lately held
in New York was one of Woman's Rights.
The attendance was not large, and Mrs.
Anthony, Mrs. Rose, Mrs. Wright, with
Reve. Beriah Greene and Wendell Phil
lips were the stereotyped managers. A
speech Of Mrs. Jones, Of Ohio, was the
noticeable one. Mrs. Jones opened with
the remark that "Woman's sphere cannot
be bounded" remark VIC presume no
one present who was in seat with one ol
the sex would dispute. Having laid
down that self.eyident fact. Mrs. Jones
made some very sensible remarks. as
follows:
She proceeded 10 advocate the justice
and expediency Of admitting women 10
the professions and alluded 10 the coarse
ness and brutality often displayed by law
yers in cross>examning female witnesses.
Talent, and not choice, should determine
ones position. 1t is so in art, and should
be so everywhere. The world does not
care whether "Aurora Leigh was writ.
ten by man or woman, so it be work
OF genius. The little country papers, got
ten out by little editors, show that men
are sometimes out Of their place, and she
hoped women would not make the same
mistake as those young men, who had
they kept still, might have been supposed
to know something. (Laughter.) She
believed women we'll adapted 10 trade,
and on Nantucket Island there are many
successful examples OF this. The other
day she law man milliner holding up a
bonnet on his soft hands and expatiating
on its merits. A lady tried i, on, and he
went into ectasics, it was such fit, and
so becoming! He complimeated the hon
net and then he complmented the lady.
She could but think that this man was
out of his sphere. In shoe Store, in.
stead Of sprighsly girl trying on wo
mems CATERS, you find strong man. who
tries it and fuses over the gaiter and
over the foot until the lady is almost
tempted to propel him into bis true sphere.
Laughter.) When and where was it
discovered that God made man to Fl la.
dies CATERS? (Laughter.) If woman
can w,ite good verse, let her. If she can
build ships, let her be a ship.builder.-
If she can keep house, let her be house,
keeper; and that requires as much brains
as anything else. { (Laughter,) She had
found three women out west who plough.
ed. and ploughed well; and she would
rather see young lady hold plough,
than to see her decked out finely and sit.
ting in the parlor waiting for an offer Of
marriage.
She spoke Of distinguished man who
attempted to ridicu]e the woman's rights
by asking if women are to
run up the mast Of ship like monkeys.
She did not think women would enter in
to competition with any performances Of
the monkey, man had shown such re-
markable aptitude for performances Of
that kind. daughter and applause.)
