Escape Of a Convict.

The art of escaping from prison is 50
fast becoming extinct that it is a relief
to find an occasional daring exploit in
that way While the steamer L'Orne,
from France, was lying at the port Of
Melbourne, Victoria, with 500 Com
munist prisoners on board destined for
the penal settlement Of New Caledonia,
one of the prisoners, named Serigne, at
dusk got over the side Of the vessel, and
hanging in the portauyans waited until
1870, when, dropping into collier, he
lay concealed among the Goals until
$50. He then tied his pocket-boo and
papers in his handkerchief to keep them
dry, and, lowering himself over the
side of the lighter, swan to the stern,
where a boat was in tow Cutting the
rope with his knife, and hanging to the
portion of the rope which remained, he
drifted into the bay with the boat until
about 300 yards from the vessel, when,
hearing a cry and thinking an alarm had
been given, he loosed his hold Of the
boat and struck out in the direction Of
the lights on the Sandbridge shore
After swimming for about three-quar-
tiers of an hour, he caught the cable of a
vessel and rested there for nearly an
hour in state OF exhaustion. He then
started again for the shore about mid
night, and after half an hours swim got
safely to land

How Many Gods /?

In the good old days when fogging
was considered as a means of grace, and
anniversary professions, picnics, and
Christmas trees were in the very distant
future, boy was asked by his Sunday
school teacher: "John, how many
Gods are there ?" "Two" (Sternly)
-" How many ?" Three, sir"
John, how many Gods are there %
-Four, SIR At five the 1ogging COM
menced and continued, while John rose
rapidly and by regular progression, to
ten. Beyond ten he refused to go, and
was finally sent home. As he 6 drag
ged his slow length along" he met a boy
on his way to the same school. Going
to that Sunday school ?" :" Yes. !"
g You are, are you? Well, how many
Gods are there p cone" stoutly an
swered the boy, "one p One, !"
chuckled John; go GA, my boy. Go
on up there with your one God, and a
good time you viii have of it. I had
ten, and they logged me nearly to
death -

That IS what everybody is trying to
do, but we wish that the poor under
stood the secret Of it better, OF, rather,
carried it out into practice. Some think
that it lies wholly i'll receiving high
a0ages. It is not So A mechanic might
be paid $50 OF $75 per week, but if he
spent all this money as he went along,
he would never get rich in the world
Thus it is that prudent man, whose
wages are but $12 a week, is in a fair
way to obtain q competency eventually,
while spendthrift whose weekly pay is
$25 or $50 will very likely bring up at
last in an almshouse. Are these notions
old-fogyish and not worthy the attention
of young fellows of energy, dash, spirit,
and all that? Perhaps some may come
to such a conclusion, but the notions
are true, nevertheless.
1t is the money a man SAVES, not what
he gets, that makes him rich. Now the
poor don't save. 1t may seem odd, and
perhaps rough, to assert such thing,
but it is oftentimes true. "The poor
are always prodigal,' and the money
they expend foolishly in tobacco, drinks,
ornaments, and other superfuities and
follies, would, if retained and placed on
deposit, amount in few years to a con-
siderable sum. Laying by but So cents
day, and depositing it in a savings
bank, foots up 5000 in a year, and i'll
ten years 81, 600. Here is the secret of
getting rich, and if poor men and young
beginners III life would pay attention to
these facts, competency would soon be
obtained by many who may not other

THE LAW or DEATH.
BY JOHN HAY.

The song Of kilyany. Fairest she
In all the land Of Savatthi.
She lad one child, as sweet and gay
And dear 10 her as the light of day.
She was Young, and he SO fair,
The same bright EYES and the same dark hair,
To see them by the bloSsonay way
They seemed two children at their play.
There came death-dart from the sky.
KIv3ny saw her darling die.
The e.inmering shade his eyes invades;
Out Of lis check the red bloom fades:
His wan III heart feels the icy chill,
The round limbs sl1sdder and are still.
Aud We Kilvany held him fast
Long after LIES last pulse was past
As t her kisses could restore
The smile gene out for eyermore.
But whe1- she saw her child was dead
She scattered ashes on her head,
And seized the small corpse, pale and sweet,
And rushing wildly through the street,
She sobbing fell at Buddha's feet.
Master aIl-belpfull help me new!
Here at thy fet, humbly bow;
Have mercy, Buddha help me now y
She groveled on the marble floor,
AID kissed the dead child o er ard Ger.
and suddenly uson the air
There tell the answer TO her prayer,
Bring me tonight a Lotus tied
Will thread from house where none has died.
She rose, and laughed with thankful joy,
Sure that the god would save the boy.
She found a Lotus by the stream;
She plucked if from its MONDAY dream,
Aud then from door to door she Jared.
To ask what house by death was spared
Her heart grew cold to see the eyes
OF all dilate with slow surprise:
q Ktlyany, thou hast lost thy head;
Nothing can help a child that's dead
There stands not by the Ganges' side
A house where none hath ever died.
Thus through the long and weary day
From every door she bore away
Within her heart, and on her arm,
A heavier load, deeper harm.
BY gates Of gold and ivory,
By waited huts OF poverty,
The same refrain, heard poor kIlyany,
Ille iig{ng ere fertile GeGG are many
The evening came, so still and feet,
And overlook her hurrying feet,
And heart-sick, by the sacred fame
She fell, and prayed the god again.
She sobbed and beat her bursting breast:
g All thou hast Knocked me. AIightiest
Lo! have wandered far ana wide
There stands no house where none hath died"
And Buddha answered, in tone
Soft as flute II twilight blown,
But grand as heaven and strong as death
To him who hears with ears of faith:
g Child, thou art answered. Murmur not
Bow, and accept the common lot
Kilsany heard with reverence meet,
And laid her child at Buddhas feet.

G. NJ. WHEAT tells an incident that
illustrates the immense immigration
into Texas. He was talking with man
in Dallas, one day, who had just come
through from Saline county, Mis-
sour, and was detained at the Can
adian river, in the Indian Territory,
for nineteen days, two days on account
of the high water, and the remaining
seventeen days simply on account of
the press of business at the ferry, ATS
emigrant teams waiting to cross. The
rapidity with which the northern counties
of Texas are settling up is beyond de-
scription.- Winoaaa Republicans.

A SINGULAR case is reported from the
Massachusetts State prison in an appli-
cation for the pardon of one Clark, now
serving out life sentence. In 1861 he
was put in for life on charge of arson,
but was pardoned out ten years after
on a showing that he was in all proba-
bility falsely imprisoned, the condition
of his release being that he should be
recommitted if he should be convicted
of any other crime, to serve out his life
sentence. Last May he was arrested
for assault and battery, and, according
to the terms of his pardon, sent back.

An AppreciatiYe Bird.

A correspondent of Georgia paper
writes that in Athens, that State, III a
beautiful residence, sat in snug grove,
live Mr.. Y. L. G. Harris and his wife.
For five years pair of red birds have
built their nest in a tree very near the
parlor window and each successive
year the old birds bring back their
young of the year before, to live upon
the bounty of their benefactors. The
most peculiar thing, though, is the
passion which the patriarch bird has for
music. AS soon as any one commences
playing on the piano ia the parlor, this
remarkable bird flies to the window-sill,
and there, by the grotesquest motions,
shows how completely his soul IS
aroused by the harmony. When the
window is down he will dash himself
against the pane of glass with the
utmost fury, as if to get inside, but
when the window is raised never ven
lures further than the sill.

A GREAT GEOGRAPHICAL FEAT.-One Of
the most remarkable exploits of modern
geographical research was recently re-
counted by its performer before the
Royal Geographical Society. In 1872
Ney Elias, distinguished English tray
eler, started from Pekin westward to
cross the great desert of Cobb, and in hon
or of his splendid march Of 1000 miles
to western Mongolia and his survey,
which he accomplished unaided, he has
Just received the Founders Gold Medal
of the Royal Geographical Society. His
total journey from Pekin, China, to st.
Petersburg, across the heart of Asia, is
probably the longest land journey on
record, and one of the most interesting
to geographers.

EARTH'S ANGELS.

never saw an angel,
Except the ones in books;
| don't believe a mortal
knows how ali angel looks.
We guess at something misty,
WITH trailing wings Of white,
With amber tresses floating.
And garments strangely white.
But L believe earth's angels
Walk here in mortal guise,
Though we discern but family
Through heayy-idded eyes.
Or see them as they leave is.
Who walked beside lis here.
Their angelhSod quite hidden
Because it lived SO near.
/ can remember angels
Who seemed like common folks.
Vino wore old-fasnioned bonnets.
And faded winter cloaks:
Who came when dire disaster
Crowned lesser home mishap,
Or younger claimants crowded
The dear maternal lap.
With curying arms wide open
10 take the weary in,
With patient love to listen
To childish want or sin.
What better thing could angels
For childish sinners do.
Than listen to their story.
And bid them promise new?
think of fIeside angels,
Upon whose faded hair
There shone no crown Of glory.
And yet the crown was there;
When tender love, true-hearted,
Forgive the wrongs it knew,
And patient voice gave answer
The days Of trial through.
All, me. the childish angel
Who beckons as I write!
Perehance I should not know him
In mystic robe of white.
He wears a schoolboy's jacket,
And cap, and boots, TO me.
As when we walked at twilight,
His head against my knee.
There are dear mother angels
We each perchance know one
Whose robes OF Bette4 glory
Are daily being spun.
With loving hands to guide us,
With loving speech TO cheer,
Said I not well, earth angels
Walk daily with US here?

(which is the cheapest to use-brown su-

"Why, white, sir. Brown sugar is simply
pure sugar with dirt and water in it. The
cheapest sugar to buy is white, granulated
sugar. 1t is simply 994 per cent. pure sugar,
while brown sugar is only about 70 per cent.
sugar, 20 per cent. water, and 10 per cent: dirt
and salts White refined soft sugar is SO per
cent. sugar. I know some old women,
brought up on brown sugar, still stick to
brown sugar, and call it sweeter than white
sugar, but. they simply dupe themselves If
you want brown sugar, you can take pound
of white sugar, pour in some water, handful
of sewer dirt, lime or salt, and you'll have
two ponnds Of it."
"How many kinds Of crude sugar are
there?"
"Three-cane sugar, fruit sugar and milk
sugar. Cane sugar is found in sugar cane,
Indian corn stalks, sorghum, beets, melons,
sweet potatoes, cocoanuts, chestnuts, palm
trees, birch trees and sugar maple. Cane su-
gar is three times as sweet as milk or fruit
sugar. Syrup contains good deal of fruit
sugar, generated by fermentation, etc. There
fore syrup is not so sweet as pure sugar dis
solved in water. Beet sugar smells badly,
and sorghum has too much acidity. They
both contain salt, to remove which is very ex-
pensive. They are things Of the past, when
sugar cane can be had reasonable and in suffi-
cient quantities. In Europe brown sugar is
not used white is considered cheaper and
better.-EH Perkins, IN Daily Graphic.

COLD FEET.-Much discomfort and no
small amount Of sickness are attributed to
habitual GOODNESS of the feet. There are few
hygienic precepts more important than the
first clause of that which says. keep the feet
warm and the head COOL" The large supply
of blood-vessels to the brain, and the remote
position of the feetfrom the centre Of circula.
ton, show why the head is 50 liable to be op-
pressed with accumulated blood, and the feet
so chilled by its deprivation. Habitual cold
ness of the feet means congestion of the brain
and other internal organs, thus unbalancing
the whole circulation, and injurng every organ
of the body.
To prevent cold feet have your shoes or
boots of thick, firm leather, waterproof and
be sure that they are not tight. A very tight
fitting boot or shoe radiates the heat as fast
as the circulation can provide it. If the boot
or shoe is large enough to admit of good
supply of air around the foot, the tempera-
ture will be much more easily maintained.
Tight stockings and tight garters are also
among the common causes Of cold feet But
when the feet are cold at bed time, in spite of
exercise, artificial heat should be resorted to.
! No one should retire to bed with cold feet
without some provision to warm them. A hot
brick, wrapped in several folds of cloth, will
keep warm nearly all night, as will bottles Of
hot water or bags of sand. These are better
than heated flannel, because they are more re-
tentive of heat. But if you are obliged to go
to bed with cold feet, do not draw them up to
the body; extend yourself at full length, and
exercise the lower extrenlities by rubbing the
feet together and pressing them alternately
against the footboard, as though you were
walking. In due time they will become warm,
if you have blood enough to do it. To cure
habitual cold feet, hold them for five minutes
in water as warm as can be borne without dis
comfort, and then dip them in moderately
cool water for half minute and wipe dry.
1t is useful, also, to follow the foot-hath with
brisk walk or active friction. This should
be repeated each evening at bed time.
