The Strange story of a POacher.

In the Bavariau mountains, neer Par
tenkirchen, the traveller often meets q
young woman with hollow cheeks and
wild eyes, whose rich blonde hair floats
loosely around her head. She does not
attempt to injure any one, but fees be-
fore every wayfarer. A few years ago
she was the brightest and prettiest
young girl in the mountain district.
She became the bride of Joseph Falk-
ner, stalwart young fellow. In time
their union was blessed with two chill
dren, yet she could not prevail upon her
husband to abandon a poacher's ex-
istance. One night when he had gone
out with his rifle on his shoulder on a
marauding excursion, he was followed
by party of forest keepers who sought
to capture him. One of them who had
ventured too near was shot by Falkner,
and the others took to fight. Falkner
hovered around the village after this
occurrence and in few days was joined
by his wife and children. The police
and foresters now began to hunt vigor-
ously for the outlaw.
Falkner started for the Austrian
border, carrying his four-year old boy
with one hand and supporting his wife,
|
ried the youngest child in her arms.
One evening during their flight as they
were resting in the forest, the quick ear
of Falkner detected the sound of horses
hoofs upon the roadway which led by
the copse in which they were concealed.
His wife and children were sleeping.
He touched Maria's arm, The gen.
darmes," he said. She awoke and hel
affrighted movement reused the sleep
ing infant on her bosom. The child be.
gan to cry and the efforts of the mother
to quiet it by pressing it to her bosom
only caused it to cry the louder. The
gendarmes had halted and were listen
ing. Falkner snatched the infant from
it's mothers arms and placed his hand
over the little mouth. For ten minutes
the pursuers halted by the roadside
for ten minutes the fathers firm han(
suppressed the sobbing of the child. A
length the gendarmes rode on, and thu
mother sought with her warm lips t.
infuse life into the pale ones of he
baby. In vain, the child was dead.
Falkner cried CON-" he put his bo,
on his back and Maria followed with th
little corpse. At daybreak the borde
was reached. They encountered an EN-
ployee of the Austrian Customs-"Hav
you anything to give up ?" he asked
Nothing" said FallSner, quietly. Hi
wife, however, stepping forward showeC
the dead child whom she had carried i
her apron, and said: 81 have some on
to hand over, for this man is a murder
er. He has killed his own son." Falk
ner was arrested and he is now in prison
His elder boy has found friend an
protector in the Tyrol. Maria lost he
reason, and either sits motionless in he
room, or wanders on the mountains an
through the forest. She takes but littl
nourishment and will soon die.

Old Letters.

Never burn kindly written letters; it
is so pleasant to read them over when
the ink is brown, the paper is yellow
with age, and the hands that traced the
friendly words are folded over the
hearts that prompted them, under the
green sod. Above all never burn love
letters. To read them in after years is
like resurrection of ones youth. The
elderly spinster finds, i'll the impas-
stoned offer she foolishly y rejected twen-
ty years ago, a fountain OF rejuvenes-
cence. Glancing over it, she realizes
that she was once belle and beauty,
and beholds her former self in mirror
much more congenial to her tastes than
the one that confronts her in her dress
ing.room. The "widow indeed de-
rives a sweet and solemn consolation
from the lette rs of the beloved one who
has journeyed Eefore her to the far-of
land, from which there comes no mes
sage, and wllsre she hopes one day to
Join him. N photographs can so Wv
IDLY recall to he memory OF the mother
the tenderness and devotion OF the chill
dren who haveleft at the call of Heaven
as the epistClary outpourings of theil
love. The LETT or of true son OF daugh
ter to true mother is sometbing bette,
than an image of the featuresoit is
reflex of the writer's soul. Keen al

and in burning them, forgive and for

DON'T Fret

Some people are too fat, some too
lean; in their own opinion. Now, it's
foolish to fret over trifes like these |;
rest assured that Nature manages every
thing for the best. If man is fat or
lean and feels well, having all the
bodily functions acting regularly, with
sound sleep, and no discomfort otter
esting, he should by all means let him
self alone. Most persons want to have
a little moIe flesh; want to weigh more;
a few want to weigh less. Some, in the
effort to increase their weight, have
eaten by rule, and reason instead of be-
ing guided by their instinct, have ac-
eomplished their object, with the ad-
dition of some chronic disease. Others,
being too bulky for their pride, have
paid for their fastidiousness by bring
ing on incurable maladies, as a result of
the too free use of vinegar, or by chew
ing tea. In several cases, Bright's dis
ease of the kidneys has set in and de-
stroyed life. Perhaps the safest way
to get lean is to work hard, and live
mainly on fruits, bread and butter, ber-
ries, tomatoes, melons, and the like,
using meats and vegetables only at din
ner-time.

The Influence Of Newspapers.

The Boston Traveller states that a
school teacher who had enjoyed the
benefit of long practice of his profess
sion, and had watched closely the. in
huence of newspaper upon the minds
of family of children, gives as result
of his observation that without excep-
ton those scholars of both sexes end all
ages who have access to newspapers at
home, when compared with those who
have not, are l. Better readers, excel
Ing in pronunciation, and consequently
read more understandingly. 2. They
are better spoilers, and define words
with ease and accuracy. 3. They OBJ
tain n partial knowledge of geography
in almost half the time it requires
others, as the newspaper has made them
familiar with the location of inn
portant places and nations, their gov
ernments and doings. 4. They are bet
ter grammarians, for having become
familiar with every variety of style IN
the newspaper, from commonplace ad'
vertisements to the finished a1d clas'
steal Grafton of the statesman, they
more readily comprehend the meaning
of the text, and consequently analyze
its contents with accuracy.

Wanted to be Heard From.

If anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course of treatment recommended by
the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Remedy
and has not been perfectly cured. the proprie-
tor DIR. r. V. Pierce would like to hear from
that person, and by addressing him at the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, n. Y. such per-
son. if there be one, will hear something to
his or her advantage. as the Doctor is in earnest
when he offers $500 reward for a case of
Catarrh which he can not cure, and is perfectly
able to pay it if he fails in single case, any
one may ascertain upon enquiry. The thorough
course of treatment referred to and recon-
mended by DR.. Pierce consists of the use of
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Pierce s
Nasal Douche which is the only means by which
the fluid can be carried high up and applied to
all parts of the nasal passages and the cham
bers connected Herewith in which ulcers exist
and from which the discharge proceeds. In
addition to this thorough application of the
Remedy. which should always be used warm
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as constitutional treatment.
without which few cases can be cured as the
disease is always constitutional and must be
treated accordir gly. This treatment has no
unpleasant features about it, and has the adj
vantage of never driving the disease to the
lungs as there is danger of doing by the uSe
of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous solu-

The "a ifOrnia Horse.

The true California horse or mustang
is still most wonderful animal. The
genuine blood performed in the early
history of this State astonishing feacts
Of travelling and fatigue. There is a
accomplished by some of them from
Los Angeles to Monterey and back,
making $40 miles, the party having
actually but one relay of fresh horses,
the time on the road being only 76 hours
in which this travelling was performed.
The path through the entire route lay
through a wild broken country, over
ridges, down gorges, around bluffs, and
through gloomy defles, where a trav-
eler, unused to these mountains, would
often deem even the slow trot impracti-
cable, but this was done under hard
gallop. 1t could not in the time be ac-
complished in any other gate. The only
food which these horses had, except a
few quarts of barley at one place, was
the grass on the road, though the COM
pletely trained and most domesticated OF
these horses will eat and drink almost
everything which the master uses. They
will take from his caressing hand,
Dread, trultS, sugar, co1ee, ana, Ike the

A Hungry Man.

In Liverpool man about forty-five
years of age was observed to snatch up
several iron "coal-savers" which were
exposed at the shop door Of an iron
monger, whose premises are next to
those occupied by Mr.. Wood, a noted
leweler. He then stepped in front of
MIR. Woods shop, and, with a request
to some persons who were passing that
they would stand aside, he threw the
"coal savers" through the window. The
crash thus occasioned by the fall of
these iron articles amidst the glass
shelves of a jewelers. shop attracted
immediate attention, and the man was
at once seized. In explanation of his
conduct he said that he was starving
that he had been refused admission tt
one of the workhouses, and that as h
could obtain no relief he wished to ge
into Jail. He was then given into Gus
tody.
