A photographer in Berlin has been
sent to the penitentiary for an ingeni-
Gus fraud which he has practice on
the aristocracy of that city for several
months past. He pretended he could
make photographs of gentlemen so
life-like that their dogs would be able
to recognize them. When these pho
tOgraphs were held up before the dogs
of the owners, the dogs would wag
their tails and lick the pictures. The
other photographers of Berlin, who
were unable to perform anything
similar, watched their colleague, and
finally discovered his secret, 1t was
q very simple proceeding. All he did
was TO cover the photographs with a
thin layer of lard, which the dogs, Of
course, smelled, and then licked off.

THE CHRONICLE.
"THE CHILD Is FATHER OF THE
MANsy

THE CHILD Is FATHER OF THk
MAN."
L-HER FATHERS DARLING.
A tiny. happy face,
Six sunny tumbled curls,
Two rosebud lips apart
Disclosing milk-white pearls.
Two wondering wide blue eyes,
Now bright with baby gladness;
Beaming on some small prize,
Now wet with some small sadness.
Plump shoulders, soft and white,
For kissing surely ment;
Rumpled and erumpled muslins,
With here and there rent.
Dimpled little fingers,
Everywhere they tumble;
Restless, little active legs,
Now and then a tumble.
Saucy little stamplngs,
Pretty little rebel
Saucy small expressions
In a silvery treble.
Ringing shouts of laughter,
Sobs Of deepest woe;
Going 10 see wee piggieS,
Hurt tiny toe.
Now naughty wilful ways,
And most Indignant glances;
Anon her stick a racer,
She caracoles and pranees.
A little sunbeam ever,
With very softening power.
OH how her father loves her,
His sweet unopened flower.
1.-THE FATHERS ANGEL.
A tiny, weary face,
A hot, fiush'd cheek and brow,
"Nurse me, papa, I'm tired,
don't want dolly now
A tossing, restless head,
The red lips parched and dry,
Drink some nice water, darling"
Papa, what makes you erys"
The bright hair like halo,
A little gasp for breath,
The gentle moaning ceases.
doctor, it can't be deathT"
A tiny. quiet face,
A rounded cheek of snow,
Her Fathers little darling
Is her fathers angel now.
No gleesome merry shouting.
Papa is at the gate"
No nurrying little footsteps
For fear she'd be too late.
No rosy lips upheld
To get the loOkid-for kiss,
No clasping little arms
"Was ever pain like this?"
No folding soft wee hands
To soothe away the care,
No blue eyes glancipg bright
Because Papa is there =!
No sunny, tumbled curls,
One has her father now,
Cut from the little pallid face,
From the little icy brow.
Dear Lord know tits we'll,
know Thou heard'st my prayer,
But home and heart are empty
Without my darling there.
III.-HIS DARLING'S HOME.
They say he has forgotten
How hard it was to part
But the wound is not quite heald
Yet-in her fathers heart.
Although once but a name,
Heavens very real now
Since the golden curl was cut
From the httlY icy brow.
Since the small white thing was laid
In the little coffin-bed.
And home and heart were desolate
AS word hath neUeT said.
Yes-Heaven is real now
His loving darling's home;
A tiny hand is beckoning.
A tiny voice says Come"
A tiny face is gazing
When he knee1eth down TO pray,
To beg the Lord 10 keep him
To walk the narrow way.
For the father of an angel
Must be good, ana pure. and true;
Keeping the better country,
His darling's home, in view.
This world was all too dear,
Now the bright gold looks dim,
And that was why his darling
Was taken up from him.
Because in paths defiling
Weak, erTing feet might roam,
The Lord made Heaven real,
Made Heaven "Nellie's home"

FRUIT PRosPECT.-Fruitp prospects in
the neighborhood of Des Moines, Iowa, are
not so bad after all. A late dispatch en-
bracing the views of practical orchardists
saws: "Cherries somewhat injured, but
the crop will be nearly as good as usual.
Pears although damaged by the excessive
cold, will probably be an average, crop.
Apples are almost entirely uninjured, and
crop prospects are as good as usual. Black
berries and raspberries are very much
damaged; the crop will be a failure.
Grapes are badly injured, and the crop
will be small.
The Shawneetown Southern Illinois)
Mercury of the 9th inst. reports that the
peach crop in its section of the state will be
almost total failure. The. severity of the
past winter did fatal work among the
farmers orchards. Along portions Of the
line of the Ohio and Mississippi and Illinois
Central railroads the fruit trees have nearly
all been killed, and the farmers are cutting
down their trees. 1t will require three
years to produce other bearing orchards
In Gallatin county fruit trees suffered less
than in other places, and the crop Of
peaches promises to be fair yield.
| The past winter has been very severe
on the raspberries. The Philadelphias are
killed to the ground, and the Blackcaps are
seriously injured. Brandywine alone has
bid defiance to the cold. 1t is sound to the

And the editor climbed out the window, up
the waterspout and out on the comb of the
roof, and wept. There was no issue OF
the paper for six days, and the only way
the friends of the eminent journalist could
feed him was by sending lunch up to him
in balloons. AT last somebody bought
barrel of arsenic and three tons of beef,
and poisoned the dogs; and the editor
came down only to find on his desk bill
from the mayor for eight thousand dollars,

he doesn't want dog.-Mar Adelr.

years. OHChristmas day, 1870, the barome-

which betokens very dry atmosphere !;
on the fourteenth aud again on the seven.
tenth it rose to 30.1S inches and 80. 10
inches; while on the 29th it sunk to rs. 80

variable; on the 4th it sunk to above
zero, and on the 9th, five days afterwards,
TO GS ., and on the 18th to 700 on the
23d to 63 . and on the 9th down to 80 ?.
which is the freezing point the 3Oth and
31st up again to 63 .. April was not so
varied, except the early part the latter part
was invariably cold. On the 9th the Their
mometer indicated $50 to zoe, On
the 18th, 10th, and 18th it did not rise
above 40 %, and on the 26th down to 81 Q.
The barometer made a very even track
throughout the month, never above 20. 95
inches, and but four times below 29.5O
inches. Rain fell upon six days very light,
making in all only 100 inches. The 10th
and 18th, during the terrible snow.storm
in the west, the Thermometer here stood
with scarce any variation the two days at

forty-three dogs were sent to the office.
