THE hopelessness OF any ones accom-
ulishrng anything without pluck is Illus
trated bv an old East Indian fable. A
mouse that dwelt near the abode of a
great magiciun was kept in such con-
slant distress by its fear Of cat that
the magi cian, takeing pity on it, turned
il into a cat itself. Immediately it be-
gan to suffer from its tear OF dog, so the
magician turned it into dog. Then it
began to suffer from fear Of tiger, and
the magician turned it into a tiger
Then it began to suffer from its tear of
huntsmen, and the magician, in disgust
sad, "Be mouse again. As you have
ONLY the heart OF mouse, it is impos-
sibie to help you by giving you the
BODY OF a nobler animal" And the
ponr creature again became mouse.
1t ia the same with a mouse hearted
man. He may be clothed with the
powers, aud placed in the position of
a brave man, bnt he will always act
like a mouse; and public opinion is
usually the great magician that finally
saws to such person, GO hack to your
obscurity again. You have only the
hear, ofa mouse. and it is useless to try
to make lion out OF YOU.

The B.echr-TiIton scandal.

A BROOKLYN Correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Commercial says; Mr.. Thee
dore Titon has permitted one or two oil
his more intimate friends to see and
read the manuscript volume which be
has written, for private preservation,
about the socalled "Beecher- Tilton
scandal" concerning which the Islander.
Gus Mrs. Woodruff tried to raise social
and religious uproar four months ago.
1t is an elaborate and detailed his
tory Of this extraordinary scandal, in
volving many curious incidents, i'm.
plicating persons who have not publicly
figured in it, covering some ten years of
time, with dates, names and circumstar-
ces, and calculating some things which
are not likely TO be revealed till the
Day OF Judgement.
There are reasons, satisfactory to Mr..
Tllton and others, why this manuscript
should not be published; and there are
reasons why it should be written and
retained in his hands.
Under the circumstances, it would be
manitestly i'm or per for anybody else to
make public display of the facts it
contsins, or to say anything about it
which the author himself, or Mr.. Beech
er on his own account, has not seen mt
to say.
But there ia one thing which the
public ought to know at once, and which
1t seems to me, would 90 ar to counter
act the effect prejudcial to Mr.. Beecher
which has been produced by the Islander
OF Mr.. Woodruff
This thing is, that there s nothing in
Mr.. Tllton's narrative to justify or give
anv ground for believing the accusations
agair st Mr. Beecher in reference to the
lady with whom his name has been scan
,:alouslv associated. On the contrary,
Tito narrative excul pates Beecher
from the charges OF crimlnality in this
matter. which were broght against him
bv Mrs. Woodruff, and which she tor
titles by evidence that disappears in the
presence OF actual facts. One sees, in
reading it, how Mrs Woodruff distor
ted what she had heard, drew upon the
imagination Tor what she suspected, and
worked up a Islander, at once false and
cruel, against innocent parties. One
can also see why it has been consider ed
better not to tickle the midriffs o. Cos
sipmou gers by retailing domestic matters
the pu rlication o. which. while over
throwing the Woodruff ISLANDERS would
give renewed occasion ois michel to
hackhlters and stirrers up Of talsehood.

GENERAL Granville NJ. Dodge, of Iowa

He was. we believe, Chief Engineer of

wondering why 30 many Congressman

man to Texas to find him, and invite

An OBJECTIONABLE JURoR.-ln
these latter times, in courts Of justice,
it has been difficult to obtain men of
intelligence and impartiality to act as
jurors, especially in capital cases. At
a recent term of the Oyer and Term
'iner, held in this city, Mr. Justice
Davis presiding, this difficulty pre-
sented itself. The trial impending
was for murder, and the large panel
summoned fer the purpose was nearly
exhausted. The name of an intelli-
gent Hebrew gentleman was called,
who took the stand, and was asked
the usual questions as to whether he
had read the papers and formed an
opinion as to the guilty or innocence
of the prisoner. He replied that he
had not. He was next interrogated
as to whether he had conscientious
scruples as to hanging in case Of con-
viction for murder. He answered
that he had The District Attorney
promptly objected to his being accep-
ted, and the gentleman was about to
retire, doubtless gratitied at not being
compelled to endure the fatigue and
anxiety of a prolonged trial, when the
counsel for the prisoner said, "Wait a
moment, if you please. You say you
have scruples in reference to hanging
for the crime of murder?'
81 have,' was the reply.
"W hat is the nature of your scru-
pies ?"
swell, sir, / am strongly and con-
scientiously IN jdcor Of hanging peo-
pie uho muder"
The prompt, blunt, altogether unex-
pected as well as unprecedented an
swer raised an audible throughout the
courtroom, and took judge, counsel,
and audience quite by surprise. 1t
was, on the whole, however, thought
best to let the gentleman depart
especially by the defense-and he
emanated from the presence,-ED1-

ON THE TRAP.

was only a clown, painted, grin
ming clown, attached, on small sal
ary, to theatre in the capital of one
of the little duchies into which Ger
many was divided before the genius
and ambition of Bismarck had effect
ed its consolidation into the empire.
My role was popular because every
body likes to laugh, and likes one who
puts them in laughing mood. My
makeup was considered a marvel of
perfection. My songs always took,
and my gestures and grimaces never
failed to elicit the most rapturous ap-
plause. 1t used to be said that my
face must be made of India-rubber, it
could be twisted and distorted into
such strange expressions. But l ha-
ted the life, and my success made it
more and more distastefill.
One night I went home completely
worn out in body and mind. My lit
tie sister Ada, fifteen years old, and
light and graceful as a sylph, who was
engaged as a danseuse at the same
theatre, also seemed dispirited and
worn. The play had been running
forty nights, and the whole company
was heartily sick of it. But it was not
this alone which exerted q depress-
ing influence on my spirits that even
ing. For many weeks had been loos-
ing my heart to Fraulein Dora, the
principal danseuse Of the theatre, who
was no less lovely in mind and Leart
than in her person. She was the
most beautiful woman | had ever
seen tall, well-formed, graceful with
a step Ikea fairy queen large thought
full eyes; and sweet, winning smile.
What first drew me to her was her
kindness to my sister, whom she took
every opportunity TO befriend and as
sist in her profession. This was the
more surprising, because Ada promis-
ed to become a dangerous rival and,
in the theatrical profession, jealousy
is the rule, and generosity the excep-
ton. SO learned to like Dora, and
then to love her. But so did every
body else. All the gentry of the
place fell in love with her, and raved
about her beauty and her dancing, in
a way that nearly drove me wild with
jealousy. 1 was in love in the old
fashioned way we read of in novels
| am not ashamed to confess it-eager
to kiss the ground on which she trod,
and would not believe that any one
else could love and worship her with
the same devotion. must not omit
to say that Dora, in the midst of all
this adulation, displayed the most dis
Greet and modest behavior She was
always attended, to and from the thea
tire, by her mother; and always re-
turned the rich presents which were
showered upon her.
Among all who paid court to Dora,
feared only one, the young, rich,
handsome, and accomplished Count
Ernest Won Walters, who pressed his
! suit with unremitting ardor. What

She had tainted again. $50, count,
said Dora, hastily. "Your presence
is not wanted here Her manner
was decided and even imperious, and
the count did not venture to disobey
but as he left he cast upon Ada a lool
which canght the others eye, an(
from the expression that came into
her face | knew-knew even then
that he would never more hold a place
in her heart.
We carried Ada home, and through
the long illness which followed, Dora
was her constant nurse and compan
ion. TO this dear friend was confdcd
with many tears the secret Of hel
heart. The count had won her love,
and had promised to ask my consent
to their union. Unsuspecting and con
iding, she knew nothing of his atten-
tons to Dora, and it was by his wish
that she had never mentioned his
name to me. | heard atterward, that
he and Dora met but once after the
accident, and that he cndeayored to
defend his perfdy on the plea that he
was only amusing himself with Ada,
and never had seriously thought Of
making her his wife. $50 much the
worse for you, count said the true
hearted woman. 81 shall never be
your wife, and never want to see your
face again"
We ale married, now, Dora and I.
From loving Ada she learned in time
to love me, and the sweet and gentle
invalid, who never again will walk
until she steps upon the heavenly
shore, is happy in our love. No muir
mur ever escapes her Ii ips, Her sweet
face is never clouded. Since Dora
learned her sad story, the counts
name has never passed my sisters
lips, nor has she ever in any way al.
luded to him. But Dora found her
one day weeping silently over pic
ture which she put away without its
seen.
I have not told how the accident
happened The master machinist,
himself in love with Dora, had cut
several strands of the cords by which
the car was secured. He openly
avowed his crime, and only regretted
that Dora had not been killed. "She
rejected me with scorn,' he said on
his trial. 81 was resolved she should
never give her hand TO another" lie
