i FEMALE INcENDIARY.-Wi the past
year says the Troy Press. I. Handy buildings
at Easton. have been fred soalc six times. a
haystack burned a dwelling house, barn, and
outbuildingS consumed. all evidently the work
Of some incendary. Curious circumstances
have from time to time occurred still no clue.
Subsequently his windows were broken, the
cellar entered, powder and birthstone strewn in
various places and then fired, bureau in
front chamber, in which a little girl was sleep
ing, fired, and extinguished by the timely ar
rival of her mother. This caused strong sus-
picions to be thrown upon young woman, a
domestic 10 the family. 4 watch was immedi-
ately instituted, and the matter kept quiet
The night before election, his piazza was dis
covered to be on fire. The alarm was given by
said domestic, as had been the case in each in
stance Among the articles found was a char
red end half burned envelope, which must have
been taken from desk; where it had been
thrown as waste paper, having the hand
ing of Mrs Handy upon it. Spent powder
and birthstone were in it. The affair was then
directly charged upon the young woman, which
at first she denied, but, upon being pressed,
she owned up. but said she didn't get the other
fires. The girl has been held to await the ac-
ton Of the grand jury.

"Ncver Missed It,"

"You will never miss it, it is so young
These were cold words that were meant
for consolation, spoken TO a young mother
Never miss it." Was not place then
vacant by the side of that feeble parent
"Bettcr have it die young while it is in
nocent," the speaker continued, but a
sob was the only response. Many tender
words were spoken, but that, "You will
never miss it. sank deep, deep into the
vacant heart So the little form was
carried out, that had gladdened two fond
hearts hut - few days. "Never missed
it ~ Tac yrnnt mother folded up the
little garments that her busy fingers had
laborcd on for many weeks and put them
away. Tears fell like rain on the clothes
her babe had never worn
"Neyer missed it !" Weeks and
months moved on, and years one, two
three, passed, and many admired the
submissivencss that showed no outward
murmurings. Strangers loved the quiet
that reigned in that house, and said in
their hearts, "They have never missed
it." But what would not that mother
have given for one shout of childish glee
in that quiet house?
"Never missed it :" Time flew away
and middle age found them childess.
Out in the streets the merry voices Of
other children made them sad. Loving
fathers and mothers were educating their
own, and looking forward to days beyond
that they might have younger and
stronger arm to lean upon, and yet the
world said, They have never missed it"
Onward passed the years, until one score
was counted on the little tablet, and they
missed it still. Later in life they heard
the voices of children's children echoing
in other households. and deeper than the
little grave sank the loneliness of being
childless.
Never missed it !" Those words
spoken years before made dent in one
heart, at least, that no time and comfort
could fill. People said, "How happy
they seem they have not had the care
and anxiety that others have" Did not
their hearts then yearn for the broken
bud transplanted to the immortal gardens
so many years ago?
"Never missed it - They went to
their graves and were buried by the side
of the wee darling, and their freed spirits
dwell! in that land where separation is
unknown and "you will never miss it, is
not heard.
