ing, chcerfully- y-toiling woman. Pity, with
her sad, pale forehead md large, deep, troubl-
ed eyes, weeps as she soothes and aids the
unfortunate. It is kindness, the woman
grace, who smooths all, and relieves all,
smilingly, going to and fro with household
step which has an enlivening echo. She
loves to have = hand in al tolls of the weary,
and she has humane and endearing lcnity
toward AL the harmless but much satirixed
foiblcs and whims of humanity.
The grace of kindness Is among the graces
what Florence Nightengale Is among races
Of women. It is the one par ercelleacs, fem
inine and lovc-winning. There is no beauty
for whose absence it cannot by its magic,
fully compensate at last nor Is there any
beauty to which It will not add bloom, Z
ripeness like the decp-hcartcd golden red
which the sunshine lends to that side
which fruits turn sunward. II this grace
will attend the wayfarer's roughest road up
summer hillsides. We never saw the sorrow
she could not, by her daily visits, at last
cause to wear the tender smile Of resignation,
nor the poor mans house she would not light
up so that its four plain walls would seem to
hold what most in the world keeps alive in
mans heart the beautiful faith in Eden.
This is the grace which can be taught by
no master Of department. The tlowagcr-
chaperonc in her boud0ir, where she teaches
the fine arts Of society to her aristocratic
young protege, cannot teach her the grace and

ness Of smile, that tender radiance of eye,
that Willingness Of air which has made SO
attractive few plain featured girls whom
she knows and secretly admires. ,...5.
For this grace is an endowment of the
or later, fails in the trial to which the world
wiu force all graces, and the charm Of all is,
it is worn at home-this most beautiful grace
this most utile grace. .a
Though it often crowns beautiful woman,
still this grace Of kindness oftener is worn
on the brow of the plain girl. Then it glows
with serene ray which diamonds never emit
as she sits by the home hearth whose Are
shine is the only coulsur de rose which rests
upon her pure and simple dreams of happi
ness She is the ornament of her home, and
the grateful ones to whom she ministers some
times think of her as an angel walking in tho
house, lighting it with star.
This girl, the glory Of whose dreams is the
rubby freight Of home, will jewel her hus
band's life with all the elegances, sweet sympa
pathies, constant smiles which he in his bach
elor rooms expects from that fair ideal wo

Of that naughty beauty who wears hor dia
monds SO well, and looked like queen q,

nearly every article back, except some of the

school to spend long holiday in . penal

Sometimes they are called upon to investi-
gate robberies SO executed, that no human
ingenuity appears, to ordinary observers,
capable Of finding the thief The robber has
left no trail not trace. Every clue seems
cut off; but tho experience Of Detective
guides him into tracks invisible to other eyes.
Not long since, q trunk was rifed at fash
ionable hotel. The theft was so managed,
that no suspicion could rest on any one.-
The Detective sergeant who had been sent
for, fairly owned, after making q minute cx-
animation, that he could afford no hope Of
calculating the mystery. AS he was leaving
the bedroom, however, in which the plum
dercd portmanteau stood, he picked up an
ordinary shirt button from the carpet. He
silently compared it with those on the shirts
which the thief had left behind in the trunk
It did not match them. He said nothing,
but hung about the hotel for the rest of the
day. Had he been narrowly watched, he
would have been set down for an eccentric
critic of linen. He was looking out for q
shirt-front or wristband without button.-
His search was long and patient; but al
length it was rewarded. One Of the inmates
in the house showed deficiency in his dress,
which no one but Detective would have no.
ticed. He looked as narrowly as he dared
at the pattern Of the remaining buttons. II
corresponded with that of the little tell-tale
he had picked up. He went deeper into the
subject, got trace of some of the stolen
property, ascertained connection between
it and the suspected person, confronted him
with the owner Of the trunk, and finally s,1c.
ceeded in convicting him of the theft. A,
another hotel robbery, the blade Of knife
broken in the lock of q portmanteau, formed
the clue The Detective employed in thai
case was for Some time indefatigable in seek
ing out knives with broken blades. A,
length he found one belonging to an under
waiter, who proved to be the thief.

Horrible Picture of Human Dsmonism.
A correspondent of the London Times

A correspondent of the London Times
writes:
On the morning of the nth of February,
in that year, was among the foremost, and
the only Englishman present, when the rush
was made into the disclosed region Of death,
to which you refer The facts were these
About forty of tho s6irri had been cap
tured by the revolutionists, treated by them
with kindness, and placed in security until
they could be sent to Naples friendly
precaution to prevent their being murdered
by the indignant mob, which then broke in.
TO the police palace, and cast the books and
furniture from the windows. A portion Of
the spacious building appeared, however, to
be inaccessible; windows and loopholes there
were in it, but no opening to one entire wing
of the dark prison house. aa
Presently, on removing one of tho huge
bookcases, some fresh-plastered wall appear
ed concealed behind it; passage was quick
ly broken through it, and the senses were al
most overpowered by the steaming efRuvis
which issued from seven dark chambers,
communicating with each other, where, upon
clearing the loopholes, . secretsd scene oi
horror was before US, such a. wants the best
testimony to be believed. There laid human
bodies and mutilated remains of such, in ev.
cry state Of death and decay, bundles Of rot.
ting rags mingled with bones, and llmbs and
filth filed the corners Of the small rooms
chains hung rivited to the walls above,
whence some of these remains had dropped
- they did-some still holding in their iron
grasp the arms or ankles of their famished
victims. "a
Skeletons, almost feshless, wese piled no.
on others, which were quite 80, and placed
on the stone shelves which had served n
their beds while living; naked bodies, black
and pulpy, were hidden beneath others more
recently dead, yet alive with lnaggots; and
greater horror still, two human bodies ir
writhing attitudes, were hanging crucif3ed
upon the wall Of the largest chamber, thu
reeking, blood-stained stones of which held
rusty spikes, corresponding to the outstrctch
cd hands and feet Of others which had beer
80 suspended, and still retaining the stringy
remains of muscle torn to shreds, from which
the heavier portions had dropped, and lay il
heaps Of putridity beneath. 81,
Shrieks of indignant horror arose from thu
infuriated crowd, . portion of which rushe(
back to the prison, where the captured s6tsr
were secured, brought them out, and sho
them down on the instant. Others remained
raking and searching among the bones and
bodies, examining minutely the putrid rem
nants Of those they fancied might have beer
their fathers, brothers or kindred, who haG
long been missing, but whose fate they knew
not.
One Of the s6isri, whose life I tried in vaiI
to save, endeavored to persuade me that tn
suspended bodies were not crucified whil'
alive, but nailed there 10 augment the tor
tures Of the living prisoners. H

Higher.

Higher it is q word Of noble meaning
the inspiration of all great deeds--the sym
pathetic chain that leads, link by link, the i'm.
passioned soul to its zenith Of glory, and still
holds its mysterious object standing and
glittering among the stars. ~,
Higher lisps the infant that clasps its
mothers knees, and makes its feeble essay
to rise from the Aoor--it is the first inspira.
ton of childhood-to burst the narrow con.
fines Of the cradle in which its sweetest mo-
ments have passed forever.
Higher laughs the proud schoolboy al
his swing; or as he climbs the tallest tree Of
the forest, that he may look down on his less
adventurous companions, with fush Of ex.
ultation, and abroad over the fields, the
meadows, and his native village. He never
saw SO extended prospect before.
Higher earnestly Dreathes the student ol
philosophy and nature; he has host Of ri.
walls, but he must eclipse them oil. The mid.
night oil burns dim, but he finds light and
knowledge in the lamps Of heaven, and his
soul is weary when the last of them il hid
behind the curtains 6f morning.
| And higher his voice thunders forth
when the dignity Of manhood has investet
his form, and the multitude is listening with
delight 10 his oracles, burning with eloquenc,
and ringing Ike true steel in the Auss q
freedom and the right. When time haa
changed his locks to silver, and world-wid,
Is his renown, when the maiden gathering
flowers by the road side, and the boy in tn
field, bow in reverence - he passes, and
peasants look to him in honor, can he breath'
forth from his heart the fond wish Of tn
past:
Higher yeti He has reached the apex o
earthly honor, yet his spirit burns Is warn
as in youth, though with = steadier and
paler light, and It would even borrow wing
and soar up to high heaven, leaving its ten
ement to moulder among the laurels he ha
wound around il, for the neverending glor,
to be reached only in the presence Of tn
Most High. .sf 1,
