admit the public to judge between
him and her. As we have said, her
love endured to the last. 1t was her
fortune which gave him the means of
pursuing his mode of life abroad. He
spent the utmost shilling of her prop
erty that the law gave him while he
lived; and he left away from her ev-
cry shilling that he could deprive her
of by his will; and what the course
of life was which he thus supported,
he himself has left on record. Yet,
after all this, the interview which she
had with his servant after his death,
shows what a depth of passion lay
concealed under the calm surface of
her reserve. 1t will be remembered
that when Byron knew himself to be
dying he called to his man Fletcher
and desired him to ego to Lady By
ron, and Here his utter
ance became unintelligible, till he
said, "You will tell her this" and
Fletcher was obliged to reply, 81 have
not heard one syllable that you have
been saying" "Good Godw ex-
claimed the dying man; but it was
too late for more. Fletcher did "go
to Lady Byron;" but, during the
whole interview, she walked up and
down the room, striving to stife her
sobs, and obtain power to ask the
questions which were surging in her
heart. She could not speak; and he
was obliged to leave her. 1870
Since that time there have been
many who have believed and said that
no one person in England was doing
SO much good as Lady Byron. It was
not done, as her husband gave out, by
attending charity balls, or dispensing
soups, and blankets, and maudlin SEN
timent. Among the multitude of ways
in which she did good, the chief and
the best was by instituting and en-
couraging popular education. We
hear at present land glad we all are
to hear it, much about the teaching
of common things" but years be-
fore such a process was publicly dis
cussed, Lady Byron's schools were
turning the children of the poorest In
to agriculturists, artisans, seamstreSs-
eS, and good poor mems wives. She
spent her income (such as her hus-
band left of it, in fostering every
sound educational scheme, and every
germ of noble science and useful art,
as we'll as in easing solitary hearts,
and making many desert place cheer
ful with the secret streams of her
bounty. -..... ..
This one child of a happy home
grew up almost unconscious of any
thing beyond it. In her youth she
found herself suddenly the subject of
the worlds conversation, if not of the
interest of all England; and she could
not but know, when dying, that, not
withstanding her love Of privacy and
the steadfast silence of a long life, she
would be mourned from end to end
of the kingdom; and that her death
would create a sensation wherever
our language is spoken, and would be
referred to with tenderness in all fu-
ture time, when popular education,
and the power of woman to bless So
ciety with all gentle and quiet bless
ings, engage the attention of lovers
of their kind.-N. Y. Observer.

hold, and drew the tears. And yet
there was hot vengeance in those
tears, as l could tell by the gritting
of his teeth, and the spasmodic clench-
ing of his powerful hands.
We had three boats, all sufficient
for the crew, and having gathered up

and the sea was rid OF one of the most
dangerous scourges that ever threat
ened Christian life and commerce.
The weather was favorable, and as
we were not over fifty miles from the
Bermudas, we had no trouble in reach
ing land in safety. Jack and | did not
stop to expose Carl Lorraine and his
associates, and if we had it could have
amounted to nothing; for we had
landed upon one of the smallest is
lands, where a single masted smack
was purchased of a fsherman,in which
Lorraine and the chief of his crew set
sail for the States. AS for Jack and
me, we made our way to St. Georges,
where we found good berths on board

A Good Story.

A very amusing anecdote is told of
an Irishman who happened to be in
Paris a short time ago, while three
crowned heads Of Europe were there
on visit to his Imperial Majesty Ma
poleon. These distinguished persons
were the Emperors of Russia and Aus
tria, and the king of Prussia. One day
having thrown aside all state ceremo-
nial, they resolved to see the sights
of the beautiful city on the Seine, for
their own qualification, and for that
purpose they resolved to go in dis
guise, so as not to be recognized by
the people. However, in their stroll
through Paris they went astray, and
meeting gentlemanly looking person,
who happened to be an Irishman, they
politely asked him if he would kindly
direct them to the Palace Royal.
"Faith and that | will, my boys"
says Pat, and at the same time taking
mental photograph Of the three
"boys." "This way, my hearties," and
so they were conducted to the gates
of the Palace Royal, and the Irishman
was about idding them farewell when
the Emperor OF Russia, interested and
pleased as much by the genuine po-
liteness of Pat, (and what son of Erin
was ever yet deficient in courtesy and
politeness, as by his witty remarks,
asked him who he was.
"Well," responded their guide, ~
did not ask who you were, and before
| answer you, perhaps you would tell
me who you may be-"
After some further parleying one
said, ~ am Alexander, and they call
me Czar or Emperor of all the Rus
sias." 4 s-
Indeed" said Pat, with roguish
twinkle in the corner of his eye, and
an incredulous nod of the head, (as
much as to say, "This boy is up to
quizzing me bit.") "And might

@Most happy to make your acquain-
tance, Frank, my boy" says the Irish
man, who was thinking he was hoax
ed, and in his despairing efforts to get
the truth as he conceived out OF any
of them, turned to the third one, and
said: "Who are your" aaam bgB
"They call me Frederick William,
and | am king of Prussia"
They then reminded him that he
promised to tell them who he was,
and after some hesitation and mystic
rious air of confidence, Pat putting
his hand to his mouth, whispered, -,
"I am the Emperor Of China, but
don't tell anybody"

Lungs and Chest.


ITThe attention of those afflicted with colds,
coughs, and with any disease of the lungs, is di-
rected to this valuable remedy. The season Of
the year has already come when, on account of
the sudden changes in the weather, colds and
coughs are easily taken, and if neglected may
lead to disease ofthe lungs. WHAT'S needed un-
der such circumstances is a reliable remedy

ing further progress Of the disease.
IPTo arrest the existing irritation of the air
passages and the lungs, speedily and effectualy,
the seat and cause of cough is an important step
gained toward relief and cure in the first stages
of the disease. MAsTA's PULMoNIC BALsAM pos
sesses this important power, and while tprompt-
ly and efectually arrests all existing irritation

lief Even those whose condition is beyond re-
coYery, will derive from it's use great benefit as
well as comfort For the class of diseases it is de-
signed to relieve, the general commendation it
has received has proved its great efficacy beyond
question. For the past ten years thousands have
been speedily and effectually cured by its timely
use while suffering from severe colds, protracted
coughs, and from other forms of lung disease
It is prepared from vegetable balsams with the
medicinal properties ofroots and herbs, with no
minerals nor poisonous acids, simple and safe in
the materials used. it can be taken at any time.

PHILADELPHIA PHOSPHATE

deposits are found spread over many thousand
acres, and have been used as a substitute for
bone by phosphate manufacturers an PhiladeL
pIlia and other places Owing to the low price
and great ease with which this material can be
worked, as compared with bone, it will If found
to a1stoer good purpose be extensively used

White Slaves.

There are $1,000 sewing women in
Boston, who average, when they are
in good health and work is plenty, on
ly about fifty cents day, and their
days are long ones at that. If health
or work fails, they starve-or do
worse. Upon this miserable pittance
of three dollars a week, for as many
hours of daily labor as humanity can
be possibly able to endure the loyal
and patriotic shop-owners of the Hub
are content to see their employees sub
sist, if they can, or die, if they prefer
that course. 1t should be remarked,
however, that these sewing girls are
white. A visible admixture of Afri-
can blood in their veins would sum-
mon to cheir aid all the philanthropy
of that great center of morality and
civilization, and an irresistible de-
mand would go up to Congress for an
extension of the benificent bureau"
to the region of Massachusetts Bay.
While white sewing women are tax
ed on every calico dress they wear, on
every pound of tea, coffee or sugar
they use,-on every thing they buy
to add to the riches ofRadical officials
and pour golden wealth into the cof-
fers of the lordly bondholders whose
bonds are exempt from taxation.
