Getting Them Our.

A family named Prather, says the Detroit
Free Press, occupying house on Croghan
street, have paid no rent for three months,
and the landlord has been trying to get
them out. He took away the front steps as
a gentle hint, but they lived right on. Then
he got hold of the front door key, but they
went around to the side door. The land
lord then put carpenter IN the parlor to
make repairs, but the family moved into
the kitchen, and were still happy. After
due consideration the landlord took the
windows out of the parlor and bedroom
but the family had good stove and plenty
of wood. Next, after learning that he
hadn't discouraged his tenants, the owner
of the house went in and removed all the
doors and windows, leaving the pure air OF
heaven rushing through the old coop like
a runaway mule. He thinks they will
leave in day or two, but it is doubtful, as
pedestrians who passed the house IN the
afternoon saw the children playing horse IN
the windows and father seated on the bed
mending rat-trap.

She was music teacher. He played the
piano fairly well. They lived next door, 1t
was one of those wooden cities so common
in this country, where each house stands
alone in its little garden. 1t was summer
time, and evening. All the windows were
open, and from every side came scraps and
bits OF music from sundry pianos voices
and instruments. A flute walled over the
way, where the engaged man" lived. A
voice and piano Quoted where the young
married folks lived, and the young thing
who was paying attentions 10 the First
BAPTIST soprano was trying the bass OF
certain touching psalm. In the midst OF 1t
all, she. the music teacher, began slumber
song. Then the others paused TO listen.
When she stopped there was a little pause,
and then he played kinderlied. Silence
all round. Then she INDUCED in waltz
She felt better. Then he galloped, music
ally speaking. She did not seem to be in
that mood, and she replied in song with
out words. 1t was touching. Then he
played bit Of the moonlight sonata She
took. and replied with Five O'Clock in the
morning"
The hute-felow, the young couple, and
all the rest of the neighbOrs sat up in bed Or
in their chairs, held their breaths and list
ened. Il was becoming interesting. Every
note could be heard. The moonlight fell
through the trees, and it was very calm and
still The FREELY roamed through the gar
den and the dorbugs doomed fittully. Then
he played Come, Rest in this Bosom and
some of them stuffed the sheets in their
mouths to keep from laughing. Then there
was pause, as if she did not know what to
give next. Then she played 40 Fair Dove,
o Fond Love-" or music to that effect
There was suspicion of laughter in the air,
but the two heard it not. When she finished
he, too, paused a moment and then in a
sweet. tender manner played IL Would
NV Love-" 1t was too much. Some one
laughed. Then somebody else laughed.
Then the laughter filled the night with a
din. A certain window came down with a
bang, and piano was heard to shut with a
slam. For all that, they were married with
in a month.

For sale by Kahn g. Co., No. 1870 Canal

This story is one Of the earliest of Hugo's
productions, and when first published was
called simply Hans d'Iselande." 1t was
written before the author adopted the crisp
epigrammatic style which characterizes his
later works, though it displays the same
power to create and make vivid the horri-
BILE and grotesque. 1t is wierd and pow
erful romance, and dramatic enough, &C.
cording with the new title, to satisfy the
lovers of the Red Handed Avenger Htera-

the corpse of Bowery drama.

swift RetributjOu.

The following is from the Lexington
Kentucky, Press:
A widow lady, residing in Anderson
county, had for some time been expecting
money from WashiD gton, for an army claim
she had against the government, nd one
day last week she received tho money,
about 5000. That night she was visited at
a very late hour, by several men disguised
as negroes, who, with drawn pistols and
threats of death, demanded the money.
Mrs. - was compelled to yield, but
begged the robbers to leave $l25 to pay her
nephew, from whom she had borrowed that
amount some time previous, and whom she
had promised to pay when her army mon
ey' came. The robbers at first refused.
but were finally induced to yield to Mrs,
5 appeal, and agreed to give her back
the $l25 if see would get them something
to eat. Mrs. - went about preparing
supper and seasoned it heavily with poison
she happened to have about the house. The
thieves ate heartily, and two of them were
found dead on the premises the next Fri
day) morning, and Mrs. - was Mortified
at identifying one of them as her nephew,
from whom she had borrowed the Sl25. We
have not as yet been able to ascertain any
further particulars and give this as it was
told by Mr.. Hastings.

The Contemporary Resiew says ::

poet without pathos, either natural OF

fail in reaching tho highest ends OF his

the genius of Dante, and led to what is
grandest in his divine compositions lie
was an example of what we should call
acquired pathos; that is, the pathos begot'
ten in the spirit through suffering. An ex
ample of natural pathos is to be found in
Wordsworth, whose life was singularly free
