there upon the threshold stood John 7ra-
uis Not his spirit-not his corpse-not
his effigy-but his friend-"in his habit
as he Gved"-alive!
And the few words he hurriedly ut
tered, while raising the recovering Annie
to his embrace, explained the mystery.
The man who had called for the fatal
glass, was the stranger, who had been
mistaken for himself Unconscious of
what had passed, Travis had left the inn
at dawn, sought fruitlessly for his friends
and while still searching, received an
important and imperative message re-
questing his speedy return, to settle a fl
nancial matter of the greatest and most
immediate import. Justice to the inter-
ests of those through whom he had risen
to fortune, impelled him to return with
out delay; He had accomplished his
mission, and had but that day heard OF
the singular circumstance of the murder,
crowned by that strange mistake.
$50 here am, my Annie, once more,
alive and well, my sweet dear heart ;
and may God, who has preserved me to
see this blessed day, make me worthy to
possess your love-"
It seemed like some fairy dream tc
| that happy trinity; and as Harry wit
messed the fond embrace ofhis friend anG
sister, remembering all that he had pass
ed, he repeated, with an emotional voice
the truthful lines of CoWper:
"Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust him. for his grace;
Behind frowning providence
lie hides a smiling face"

The Smack at School.
BY VIM. PITT PAKMER.

A district school, not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one winters day,
Was humming with its wonted noise
Of three-seore mingled girls and boys;
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtive mischief bent
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy book,
Rose sharp and clear, rousing smack
As 'twere a battery of bliss,
Let off in one tremendous kiss
"Whats that ~ the started master cries.
"That, thir," a little imp replies,
"Wath William Width, if you pleathe,
l saw him kith Thuthana Peathe!
With frown to make statue thrill,
The master Numbered, 'Hither, WHIP
Like a wretch O ertaken III his track,
With stolen chattels on his back,
Will hung his head in fear and shame,
And to the awful presence came
A great. green. bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun
With smile suppressed and birch appraised
The teacher faltered "Im amazed
That you-my biggest pupil-should
Be guilty of an act so rude!
Before the whole set school to boot
What evil genius putyo to't?'
''Twas she herself, sir; y sobbed the lad,

But when Susannah shook her curls,
And told me l was 'fraid of girls,
And burst MT kiss baby's doll.

he could make all straight with his cred

at which he expected to re-greet him
and his sister Annie, to whom, ere he
he left home, he had been betrothed.
Whatjoy we shall have, dear Harry"
wrote Travis, "should Providence, who

PkHos0phy Of Diet.

Experience in all countries has proved tina
the human body does not thrive well upon an.
diet that is restricted to only one or two arti
cles of food. And old Prior has amusingl,
shown that
"The strength of every other member
Is founded on your belly-timber,
The qualms or raptures of your blood
Rise in proportion to your food.
Observe the various operations
OF food and drink in several nations:
Was ever Turk fierce or cruel
Upon the strength of water-gruel?
But who shall stand his rage and force
If first he rides, then eats his horse?
Salads and eggs and lighter fare
Tune the Italian sparks guitar
And, ii l take Don Congreve right,
Pudding and beef make Briton's fight
