The last distinct words that Harry spoke

The last distinct words that Harry spoke
were: Take me up. papa" 1t was the
first time either child had called him SO,
and sob came from the strong mans
breast
A few weeks later Mr.. Powers asked
his wife to 60 with him and see some little
stones that he had looked at to mark the
children's graves. Before they came to
the marble works he said suddenly, as
though anxious 10 have 1t off his mind. 81

Harry. and have been looking at stone
for his father: you would lik havee to

OF marble set aside for Susan's judgment,
and the two little blocks were Of the same
fine, pure vein. In a whisperhe husband
said, The baby hadno name, but | would
like to have Susan on the stone.n And
thus it was.
The next yeara littl o boy was born. and
his mother named him Philip" but his
father added Henry" as his part in the
naming Of their only son.

has one blue and blnck eye takes what
he thinks will be his last look upon tho
scene around him. He sees no chance of
being discovered, and al once his tall agile
form leads the way to the woods. while
Simms who is much his superior in point
of build and muscle, follows close behind.
They had reached the road which lay a
short distance from the prison when just
ms they were crossing it
THEY ARE DISCOVERED.
The first intimation oi their absence
came to one of the night watchmcn who
was IN the new wing aud on his return.
He at once gave the alarm, which quickly
flew from mouth to mouth. and immedi
ately reached the sentinels who were at
their several posts OF duty. properly
armed. 1t seems that the watchman dis.
covered that two prisoners were out Of
their cells before they were out of the
attic.
AS soon rs the outside sentinel, nearest
TO the prisoners had caught word OF their
flight he Immediately sprang to his feet
aided by another one of the guards.
They both fired their rifles, but the shots
failed to take effect. Upon this they
loaded again, when one of the guards
got a good sight upon Bartlett. whe was
some twenty rods ahead. and fired again,
his shot this time hitting Bartlett in the
arm. This Immediately brought both OF
the prisoners to n standstill. As the
snow was very deep they had experienced
considerable difficulty in making head
way. Had it been otherwise Bartlett
might perhaps have escaped the effect OF
shot, but to escape was an impossibility.
Immediately upon coming TO stand
still they begged for quarter. Freedom
has its blessings. but they were not will
ing to uake sacrifice of their lives at
the expense Of gcttingit. They surrender
without offering any resistance. and are
ut once conducted back TO the prison
yard, having been out fifteen minutes,
and having gone some forty rods from
the prison. They had but little if any
thing to say, Bartlett not ever making
any complaint as To his wound.
On the return Of the prisoners 10 the
prison, Bartlctt's wounds were dressed,
during which operation he maintained
perfect stolidity of countenancc. Both
were placed in solitary confinement to
which punishment they appeared utterly
indifferent. Neither betrayed any visible
chagrin ut being defeated in their enter
prise. They had taken their chances and
failed. When they are released from
the dungeons more vigilant watch Will
be kept over their movements than ever.
Bartlett is tall of stature, quite nmble
in his movements, and had he escaped
would have been easily recognized by n
person who had seen him once. He is
quito bald-headcd, and underneath his
projecting frontal bone, he has one blue
and one black eye. He is fifty years OF
age, is native OF Philadelphia and has
spent over hal! Of his lie in prison. lie
was committed 10 Thomaston prison Jan.
9, 1868, for the term Of fife en- years.
Simms is a powerfully built man with
black glossy hair. He is thirty years oi
age, is "a native Of New Hampshire, and
was committed with his rontrcTcs Bartlett
aud Mcguire. receiving the same sentence.
He had spent some five years in prison
before going to Thomaston.

LOTTERIES AT CHURCH FAIRs.-The le-

LOTTERIES AT CHURCH FAIRs.-The le-
galitios OF lotteries came into question IN
a case tried at the City Court recently.
In an action of trovcr, one BALI tried to
recover from one Donahe the value OF a
silk umbrella, which was disposed of by
lottery at the Catholic Fair held about
Thank sgiving time, and at which Ball
claimed TO have drawn the umbrella
though Donahe had come into possession
OF it. The whole question turned upon
the validity of a title acquired by lottery,
and it was argued very ingeniously that
the lottery law aimed only to hiqthose who
oct ND lotteries rather than those who
merely take tickets, and hence did not
affect their rights. But the defence
claimed that the law was directed against
lotteries AS whole, and quite as posi-
lively against church lotteries as any
other kind. The Judge. in rendering
his decision. assumed very strong
grounds against the legality of such lot
teries. and in support cited a late deci'-
sion OF the Supreme Court of the State
Judgment was tgivsn for ethe defendant
the plaintiff being non suited.-[Water"

LITTLE CORA.
Little Cora lies asleep

When the dew 10 on the grass,
And the evening Eephyrs pass,
Robin sings above her head,
Darling Cora is no, dead;
For she is sn angel now,
With q crown upon her brow;
And harp within her hand,
singing with the angel band,
Cease your weeping for her hero
Though unto your hearts most dear"
Twas chill and wintry day
When our Cora passed away;
Frosts had nipped the pretty fowers,
SO death nipped this bud Of ours.
