OTTAWA FREE TRADER: SATURDAY, M

The stricteat search, even looking under 4 boot,
didn't show the faintsst trace of him.
The yard was examined, then the house, and
everybody was tolersbly well satisisd that he
lad escaped but I was appointed sentinel for
the rest Of the night, and ordered net to 90 to
sleep on my post Out I did under the penalty Of
Jogging.
The articles missing, ON thorough invertiga-
ton that next day, were two pies and the old
lady's silver thimble. The thimble turned up
in day or two, being discovered under the car
pet, but the pies have not been accounted for even
unto this day On oath could have given very
material testimony as to the deposit of the stolen
property. but the case didn't come before any
court. and remained quiet.
Didn't the local editors loom, though? One
of them elongated himself throug Oh half colsmn,
and headed the article, "a Diabolical and Afro
cious Attempt at Burglary and Murder y des-
cribing with graphic particulars the fiendish
attempt to throttle Miss l. and her servant,
complimented the GOODNESS of r. Tompkins, Esq,
perorating with whitening anathema of the
want Of vigilance displayed by the policemen.
1t was fun for me to see with what wide-awake
sagacity the Waterman used to stop at onr front
door and listen for month after. The excite
ment died away, though, after awhile. But I'll
never forget the night tried to get in without
making noise.

Hkfss Me.

A funny incident occurred, not a thousand
miles from this city, few days since, and one
which is too good to be lost One of our celebra-
ted composers has written a very pretty song en-
titled kiss Nc" A very pretty, blushing maid,
having heard Of the song, and thinking she would
get it, with some others, stepped into music
store to make purchase.
One of the clerks, modest young man, step
ped up to wait on her. The young lady threw
her veil back saying:
II want Rock me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song and laid it before
her.
"Now," said the young lady, 81 want tho Wan.
dering Refugee"
Eyes ma'an,' said the clerk, bowling, and in .
few minutes he produced the Refugee
"Now, Kiss Me- said the young lady,
OK course meaning the song above mentioned.
The poor clerks eyes popped fire almost, a. he
looked at the young lady in astonishment, for he
was not aware of the fact that song by that
name had been written
"Wh-what did you say, Miss"
"'Kiss Me-" said she.
6! can't do it; never kissed a young lady in
my life" said the clerk.
And about that time q veil dropped, young
lady left in hurry clerk felt sick, and dealer
lost the sale of some music.

The Tallow Candle Theory.

Many persons have heard it asserted that .
tallow candle, when fred from an ordinary gan,
with the usual charge Of powder, at deal board
thres-quarters Of inch thick, will pass through
the board, but very few who have not seen it
done believe it. On Monday party Of riAemen
and other gentlemen, TOR the purpose Of deciding
bet On the subject, adjourned 10 the butts Of
the North Middlessx Rifles at Child's hill, where
board Of the thickness described having been
fixed in IN upright position, common half.
penny dip was fred at it from fowling-piece,
from distance of about Is PAGES. The candle
struck the board with its full length, and passed
through, leaving hole exactly, the shape Of the
candle. The remains Of the candle were found
scattered in pieces resembling snow-Askss on the
high mound Of earth in the rear Of the board. A
second candle, when fred from the 70 Wing.
piece, passed through the board, making circu-
lar hole, which was, however, very jagy ed round
the edges. A third candle carried away . large
piece OF the board nine inches long and three
inches broad. breaking away the boundary en-
once side OF the hole made by the first. A can.
die fred from = rife failed to pass through the
board, the grooves of the rife stripping the tallow
from the wick - it passed out. The smooth
bore fowling.piece was loaded each time with
two and half drachms Of powder, q small piece
OF paper Is . wad, and common tallow.dip
which had not been specially prepared in any

He "Didn't Think"

Opening the door of friends house one day,
/ made my way through the entry to the small
back court where Ned, the only son, was crying
bitterly.
"Ah, Ned, what is the matter?"
"Mother won't let me 30 fishing. Harry and
Tom are going to the harbor, and want to co."
Here Ned kicked his toes angrily against the
post, to the great danger of his new boots.
"Whose little dog is thisI" asked, as .
brown spaniel came bounding up the garden
walk.
at is mine," cried Ned, in An altered tone.
didn't you know had one?"
"No, indeed. What fine little fellow Where
did you get him, Ned"
"Father bought him for me. He is 40 know.
ing, and teach him many things. See him find
my knife" and Ned, wiping away his tears,
threw his knife into the clover. "Thsre, Wax,"
said he, snow 90 and find my knife" Wag
plunged into the grass, and, after great deal Of
smelling and wagging he came triumphantly
forth, and brought the knife to his young master.
Give it to him." said Ned, pointing to me,
and Wag laid it at my feet.
"This is a knife worth having" said L; flour
blades
otis a real good one, said Ned; "father gave
it to me on my birthday; and gave me splendid
box of tools, too"
Ned looked up brightly, and quite forgot his
"Let me think" said I. "Was it this knife
that you hurt your foot so with Z"
"Oh no." cried Ned, 'that was done with an
ak; but I've got we'll now"
II was afraid you would be laid up all the
spring"
'Well, it was mothers nursing, the doctor
says. Mother and father took very great care Of
that. 1t was lonely staying in the house 30; but
mother used to leave her work and read to me-
and father often sfnid With mo

slight pout puckered his lip. II suppose there

"And can't you trust them Ned, and willing.
ly agree to their wishes? You may not indeed,
know the reason why they object to your going !;
| but, from all your experience of their kindness
| and wisdom are you not sure that they would
not cross your wishes without good reason for
doing 50? And, surrounded as you are by 90
many proofs of their love, will you sit there and
murmur and cry, and fill your heart with angry
and stubborn thoughts against them, because Of
this one little denial of your wants? Is not this
poor and ungrateful return for all their kind
ness? 1t is little enough that child can do for
parent but that little ne ought to do most
cheerfully. I suppose the best return child
can make to parents is cheerful obedience
How small that seems And will you yrudge
giving that, Ned? ~
Ned looked sober. Tears started in his eyes
"Oh, sir" said he, humbly. 81 didn't think of all
this--I didn't think of it."
'Didnt think" is at the bottom Of a great deal
of our ingrattude and murmuring against both

Measles. 'N- 4h-tb4
We think We shall b doing the public a serv.
ice in re-printing the following sensible remarks
Of Dr.. Hall, in his Journal Of Health: ..,i,.-
"This disease prevails extensively in cities
during the winter season, and will usually cure
ITSELF II emily protected against adverse influences
The older persons are the less likely to recover
some hfe-long mslady behind it. The most
hopeless forms Of consumptive disease are often
the result Of ill-ccnducted or badly managed
measles. In nine cases ont of ten, not q particle
of medicine is needed. .... .. ,.,.. -.
"Our advice is, always and under all circum-
stances, send at once for an experienced physi-
clan. Meanwhile, keep the patient in q cool,
dry, well-aired room, with moderate covering,
in position where there will be NO exposure to
drafts of air The Thermometer should range at
about sixty-fve degrees where the bed stands,
which should be moderately hard. Of husks,
straw or surled hair. Crafty the instinct Tor
cold water and lemonade. It is safest to keep
the bed for several days after the rash has begun
to die away. The diet should be light, and Of
an opening and cool character. .-r.
"Ths main object of this article u to warn
persons that the greatest danger is after tho dis
appearance OF the measles. We would advise
that for three weeks after the patient is we'll
enough to leave his bed, he should not 90 out Of
the house, nor stand or sit for single minute
near Al open window or door, nor wash any
part OF the person in warm water or cold, but to
wipe the face with warm damp cloth. For .
good part Of the time the appetite should not be
Wholly g1atifed; the patient should eat slowly
Of light, nutritious food. All exercise should be
moderate, in order to prevent cooling of too
quickly aftsrward, and to save the danger Of ex.
posture to drafts Of air, which BY chilling the
surface, causes chronic diarrhes if it falls on
the bowels, deafness for life if it falls on the
ear, or incurabls consumption if it falls on the
lung."

A NOVEL PLow.-A new pillow, invented BY a
mechanic OF San Francisco, is described as an
adaptation Of the screw propeller TO the pieces
OF turning up the earth. Instead Of share, six
iron blades are ret in frame and geared togeth.

ton Of the machine is also similar. The blades

to aid in propelling the machine. Steam or
horse power may be used in working the pillow,
which, on trial, has been found to work
admirably.

LUCKY SAN FRANCIscANs. - Says the
San Francisco Times

Two of our citizens have fallen in for yer,
pretty fortune, as the following statement
will show. Some time ago one William
Budd died in England, leaving an estate
which, by judicious management, has in
creased until it is nov valued at the enor-
nous sum of fl6,000,000 or $4,000 900
The estate was left to the heirs of William
Budd, of Burlington County, New Jersey.
The first descendant of William Budd was
Levy Budd the next George Budd. and the
third George r. Budd, who is now living in
st. Louis, Missouri, and has two sons re-
siding in San Francisco, viz c. P. Budd
and w. c. Budd. We are sure that no
one would wish to be flower" if they
saw a chance of becoming a Budd of this
family. When these good fortunes become
known it is very probable that the worship
of Budd-a will become fashionable in this
State.
