Frightening Children.

We believe adult people do not generally

OF some older person? Only last winter
the children of Fairbanks village were ter
ribly frightened by maniac. who amused
himself one cold morning by getting out of
bed, wrenching his bedStead to pieces and

we complain of. The country is filled with
murders, robberieS, rapes end rascalties
without number. and il becomes every citi-
zen to constitute himself vigilance conf

A Lover Lost by a Kiss.


An Austrian noblcman, one of the handsom-
est and most accomplished young men in Wen
ma, was passionately in love with young girl
ofalmost peerless beauty She WAS the daugh-
ter of man of great rank and influence at
court, and on these considerations. as well as IN
REGARD 10 her charms she was followed by
multitude Of suffers. She was lovely and amia-
bic, and treated them with an affability which
still kept them in her train, although ii was
generally known that she had ayowed predi-
lection Cor thecount, and chat preparations were
making for theirnuptials. The count was of a
refined mind and delicate sensibility; he loved
her for herself alonc-for the virtues which he
believed dwelt in a beautiful form. Like lover
ofsuch perlcctions he approached her with tim
idity, and when he touched her fire shot thro
his veins. that warned him not to invade the
sanctuary Of her lips. Such were his feelings,
when one night at the house Of his intended
hthcr-in-aw, partyof yougpeople were met
to celebrate q certain festival. Several of the
young lady's rejected suitors were present.
Forlcits were one Of the pastimes, and all went
on with the greatest mernment, till the count
was commanded by some one to redeem, his
glove by Saluting the check of his intended
bride
The count -trcmbled-advanced to
his mistress-re -retreated-advanccd again-und
at last, with tremor that shook every fibre Of
his frame with a modest grace he put to his
lips the soft ringlct that played upon her cheek,
and in evident confusion retired to demand his
redeemed pledge His mistress gaily smiled,
and the game went on. One of her rejected
sriitors, who was of amerry, unthinking dispo-
sition, was adiudgcd by the same indiscreet
crior Of forfeits, "as lis last treat bejore he
haRgel himself" to snatch kiss from the OBJ
iect Of his recent vows \ lively contest ensu-
ed between the lady and the gontleman,-it
lasted for minute, when the lady yielded
though in the midst Of convulsive laugh;
and the count had the modification, the agony
to sec the lips, which his delicate love would
not allow him to touch, kissed with roughness
and repetition by another man, and one whom
he dcspised Without a word, he rose from
his chair-lcrt the room, and the house, and
by that good-natarea KISS the fair boast Of Vi
enna lost her husband and her lover. The To-
ycr never saw her more. ....

s. If they give way to petulance and temper,
wait TIL they are calm, and then gently reason with
them on the impropriety of their conduct.

than the threatening of a greater punishment
