as scrupulously upright citizen died re-
cently,'at New Hampton, Mass. He eulti-

which accounted for his apparent wealth.
After his death MS. in cypher, found
among his papers, theikey to which having
been discovered, showed that since 1916 he
had led the life of an expert burglar. Having
emigrated TO Canada he continued his law
less trade, his last act being the seizure OF
81 300 in French coin; he left Canada with
$4,000 of ill-gotten gain.
The remembrance of one, at least among
those who suffered from his wrongs seems
to have haunted his mind through life with
a vividness which neither circumstances mol
the lapse of time could impair; for by an in
formal will he bequeathed $500 70 AlvaI

SINGULAR CASE OF POISONING AND REVENGE.
A little child of G. w. Willard, of Mont
pelier, VT, was seized with violent vomiting
few weeks since, while drinking a cup of
milk, and on examination, the cup was
found to contain a large quantity of corro-
sive sublimate which had evidently been put
into the milk after it was in the cup. AS
the only servants in the house were girl
and an Irish boy John Roakes, considered
trusty, and exceedingly fond of the child,
they knew not whom to suspect; and although
the instant vomiting had saved the child's
life this time, they were in great fear of a
repetition of the attempt. Some days after,
the nurse becoming firmly impressed with
the belief that Roakes was guilty, charged
him directly with it, and after some falter-
ing he finally confessed. He had done it
from no ill-w i'll to the parents or to the
child, but from hatred to the servant girl,
who he hoped would be charged with the
crime. He has been sentenced to the State
Prison for eight years.

Endless Devotion.

Endless DevOt10Rs
That gifted and noble-hearted woman,
Mary Walstoncraft, and her first perfdious
lover, Gilbert INLAY, thus spoke to each
other in the dawning of their mutual and
heart t-hallowed passion:
"Ilive but for you, my friend. Why, then,
should I involve you in difficulties, and
probably in pecuuiary ruin, for the sake of q
legal ceremony or fiction, for which have
no respect, and which can not strengthen the
bond that unites. Could l ask stronger tie
than the love that really and only makes us
one2' -
"You are truly magnanimous, my be-
loved. But are you willing to trust all, as a
woman, to my loveF" ..... .--~.
"All, and more than all, said the speaker,
"even the fate of babes unborn, who must
derive their sustenance, their culture, their
happiness, from our united heart Can a
woman have greater love than that which
enables her to trust her own life and hap
pineAs, and that of her children IN the keep
ing of one bound by no outward RESPONSE
bility?"
"Great is your love, o my beloved. l

will not live long where it is necessary to

SPEcULATING ON THE DEM-MoNDE-NoU
Node Of Making Money for a Ne'0spaper-
One feature of New York life is aptly illus
trated in the following item taken from the
New York correspondence of the Buffalo
Commercial: ..r.-
An ingenious method has been discovered
of solacing the unhappiness of the demi-
monde, who were unable to be present at the
ver-nemorable ball TO Baron Renfrew, at
the Academy of Music. One of the illus
t1ated weeklies announces that it has made
arrangements for publishing correct like
nesses of all the ladies who were there if
the fair ones will but send in their daguer-
reotypes 10 the proprietors. The offer, | am
told, has been eagerly accepted and, though
it is Int a few days since it was made, the
editor has received enough Of portraits to
start picture gallery. -.r.
The cream of the joke, however, is, that a
majority of them are known to be counter
felt presentments of persons who were not
at the ball at all But what's the difference2
The proprietor of the illustrated" will put
money in his purse by his enterprise, while
the demi-monde will have their vanity fat
tered by having it appear that they were
not only at the ball, but that they shone
there as "bright particular stars" In case;
of this kind, though, a fee of $5 is required
while those who were really under the roo
OF the Academy will be done" scot free.

Tile Relation, sympathy and Mar 'iuge oil
Two Kindred Souls-A Passage in the
Life Of William Goodwin, the Novelist.
An article in the New York Saturday
Press thus speaks of Mary Wollstoncrafts
separation from her lover, Gilbert Inlay
and her marriage with Goodwin:
She found, q the close of period of indie
scrihable suffering, that it was impossible TO
maintain q marital union with man who
preferred casual, sensual connections, to
marriage with one Of the most pure and
gifted Of her sex. She tore the passion for
this man from her heart at last, and turned
to other interests in life, the first of which
was the care of her child, and the next the
cultivation of her literary talents.
Life began anew for Mary Wolstoncrat.
She became acquainted with Goodwin, or
rather, renewed an acquaintance long before
formed. We can not fOTbear making q few
quotations from the simple statement of that
great man, William Goodwin, in his biogra-
ply OF his beloved wife, Mary WOllstoncraft.
He says
''Tie partiality that we conceived for
each other was in that mode that | have
always regarded as the purest and most re-
fined style of love. 1t grew with equal ad-
vences in the mind of each. One
sex did not take the priority which long
established usage has awarded it, nor the
other overstep that delicacy that is so Sc
| verely imposed When the dis
closure came there was nothing, in man
ner, for either to disclose to the other.
previously to our mutual declaration,
each felt half assured, and yet each felt a
certain trembling anxiety to have assurance
complete
Mary rested her head upon the shoulder of
her lover, hoping to find heart with which
she might safely treasure her world of affec-
ton, fearing TO commit mistake, yet in
| spite of her melancholy experience, fraught
with that generous confidence which in a
great soul is never extinguished. 81 had
never loved till now, or at least had never
nourished passion to the same growth, or
met with an object so consummately worthy
Probably no union in this world has been
more blessed by natural goods and graces
than that of Mary Wolstoncraft and God
win. And yet, by this suitable and legal
society in England, because by it she ac
knowledged that while living with Mr.. I'm
lay she was an unmarried mother. Thi
fact she never concealed, but people chose t
be blind to it till she married Goodwin.
Goodwin says of their union: 81 think
may venture to say that no two persons eve
found in each others society a satisfaction
more pure aud refined" And this happi
ness continued to both till her early ant
much-lamented death, soon after the brit
of Mrs. Shelley. 1t is a joy to think tha
death is but the gate of a better and happie
life to such as these, and that the lovin
union begun here is perfect in world c
beneficence, that this poor mundane scene

A MODERN JoNAH---A Man Nearly Loses
HIS Life IN a Dead Whales GuILet---A
whale was caught and towed to the Isle of
Dogs, England, some time ago, and the late
Mr.. Cliff went down to see it. He found it
on the shore, with his huge mouth propped
open with poles. In his eagerness to ex-
anime the internal parts of the mouth, Mr..
Gift stepped inside the mouth, between the
lower jaws, where the tongue is situated.
This tongue is a huge spongy mass, and
being at that time exceedingly soft, from ex-
posure to air, gave way like bag at the
same time he slipped forward toward the
whales gullet nearly as far as he could go.
Poor Mr.. Gilt was really in a dangerous
predicament; he sank lower and lower into
the substance of the tongue and gullet till
he nearly disappeared altogether. He was
short in stature, and in few seconds would
doubtless have lost his life in the horrible
oily mass, had not assistance been quickly
afforded him. 1t was with great difficulty
that boat-hook was put in requisition, and
the good little man hauled out Of the whales
gullet.
