An Ingenious Convict.

The Baltimore Sun says: In the Jail
here is the ingenious Frenchman, Lau-
rens, who will be remembered from his
successful escape in August, 1870, when
he made n dummy of straw and old
clothes to represent himself, made mask
to represent his face, made hand out OF
wood, stood the dummy at the grating to
deliver the brass checks when the keeper
came around, while the convict escaped
and got of, clear of Baltimore for some
days, when he was recaptured, and SEN
fenced to three months longer. His
original term was five years for horse
stealing, and five months of this term
remain. 1t Is expected the extra SEN
tcnce will he commuted, since his ingcn-
uity has been very usefully employed OF
late, and he has proved valuable work
man. He has invented q "guidc for
shoe sewing" and an improvement on
the invention. BY this invention the
heel seam of shoes can be sewn on ma
chimes, allowing for the curve of the
heel. The invention has been patented
by the inventor. It's value has been re-
cOgnized by an offer to buy the right for
$4,000 from Massachusetts, firm. The
prisoner, however, has been advised not
to do 80, rs he will be able to realize sew
eral thousand dollars year royalty "
on his release.

The knights Inn.

In noble castle there once resided a
very rich knight. He expended much
money in adorning and beautitying his
dwelling, but he gave very little to the
poor. A weary pilgrim came to the
castle, and asked for nights lodging.
The knight haughtily refused him, and
said: "This castle is not an inn"
The pilgrim replied: "Permit me to
ask two questions, and then l will de-
part"
Upon this condition speak" replied
the knight, "I will readily answer YOU"
"The pilgrim then asked him: "Who
dwelt in this castle before your"
"My father" replied the knight.
"And who will dwell here after you p
asked the pilgrim. gu
The knight said "With Gods will
my SON."
"Well, said the pilgrim, elf each
dwells but a time in the castle, and in
time must depart and make room for an
other, what are you here otherwise thar

inn. Why, then, spend 80 much money
in adorning a dwelling which you will
occupy but short time2 BE charitable

given lie will pay him again."
The knight took these words to heart
He gave the pilgrim shelter for the
night, and was ever afterward more char

The Lash In the Nursery.

The New York News makes this plea
for baby culprits, which we indorse: The
moral tones of the rising generation
would not be seriously injured If parents,
teachers, and custodians of children gen.
orally, would come to the conclusion that
a child of five years of age is incapable
of committing an offense that deserves a
severe fogging. No doubt considerable
mischief can emanate from little sinners
even at that tender age, but it is no more
necessary to punish such transgressions
with heavy blows than it is to break n
butterfly on wheel.
II is impossible to measure in advance
the physical results of corporal punish
ment when applied with intention to in
aict pain, upon these undeveloped babies.
One can hardly judge at times, whether
child of five years of age is sick or
well; at one moment IL is playing mer-
rily, at the next moping, fretting, COM
planning, and showing unmistakable signs
Of physical distress. Those small bundles
of humanity contain enough Of aches
without being subjected to the tortures
of the lash, and probably many time
some lurking disease has been provoked
and aggravated by the shock and sting oI
thrashing given for some trifling, per.

Failure OF a Dental Test.

A young man, living on Cumberland
street, this city, had, for many days,
suffered with a severe toothache, and, as
a dernier resort, he decided to 60 to a
dentist and have the bi-cuspid taken out.
With that resolution well fixed in his
mind and one dollar in his pocket, he
sought we'll known "tooth carpenter "
on Greene avenue. The dentist at once
decided that two teeth would have to be
drawn. The young man had not the
nerve to stand the "double extract" so
he told the dentist to bring forth the
nitrous-oxidc bag and he would quaff him
self into insensibility.
He took the mouthpiece and drank
away at the gas. The dentist at last
thought he had enough. He spoke to
him. A rational answer was returned.
He must have more. gas and the mouth
piece was again inserted between his lips.
When-he had taken gasenough to render
two men insensible to pain, the dentist
thought he would apply well-known
dental test to see if he was "gOne."
"Billy?"
No answer.

traction, and, in so doing, accidentally

tremendous root, and at the same time
brought that young man to his feet with
yell.

"More gas? You took enough to put
two men to sleep, and besides, / touched
your eyelid and even put my hand on
your eye and you never showed twinge
and that is considered an infallible
test"
"That's good; wondered what in
thunder you were fooling around my glass
eye for"
The valve which was found to be out
Of order, was repaired, the mans second
tooth drawn, and he soon went away
chuckling to himself, "That's good
feeling of my glass eye to see If I'd
twitch. ."-Brooktyn Eagle.

Man who Worked WithuOt Hands.

There is incarcerated i'm the Eastern
Penitentiary man named George Wood
ward, whose skill in performing his
allotted tasks, Notwithstanding the fact
that he is without hands, is the cause of
much surprise to those who witness it,
Woodward, who is now about forty
five years Ofage, was born without hands.
His father was a well-to-do farmer near
Marshallton, Chester county, at the time
of Georges birth, but, when the latter
was n small boy, removed to Ohio. As
the lad grew up to manhood, he was here
brought into contact with drovers and
horse dealers, and soon became n most
expert horseman.
During the war Woodward returned to
this State, and was sutler ut Camp Cad
walder for time. While at the latter
place he purchased horse which proved
to have been stolen. Being a stranger
he could not prove the purchase or his
own character, and he was convicted and
sentenced to the Eastern Penitentiary.
In 1870, having, it seems, gone regularly
into the business, he attempted to "run"
a stolen horse out West from here, but he
was arrested ut Chambersburg, and upon
trial was convicted and sentenced to a
term Of fourteen years in the Eastern
Penitentiary, of which he has served
about four years.
Woodward is man of intelligence and
seems to be not naturally bad of heart.
He also says that his past experience has
fully taught him the value Of an honest
life, and after he shall have been released
he will lead n proper life.
Upon his commitment there was some
doubt as to whether he could be placed
at labor of any kind, but he soon con.
vinced those in charge of him that he is
If the word can be properly used in his
case, asdexterous as the average prisoner
If not more 80. He was put chair
making, and soon became at frst-class
workman. He has now earned, since
the term begun, the sum of fifty dollars
which he has invested in certificate o.
loan of this city.
Woodward's arms are perfectly formed
to the wrist, but from that point they

nUsED LAST m,SST S5SHT IN rENsIvE

"Oh, there's nothing half so sweet In life
AS loves young dream!"

Was rackcd with aches-both head and dental,
My mood was somewhat sad and pensive,

Fond, lingeng, and comprehensive.

O'ershadowed by the silvery veil
Of willow branches dropping lowly,
Bestrewn with wild spring howerets dyed
In every color OF the prism:
Where oft we sat, May Brown and L
Nor ever dreamed Of rheumatism.
We loved. All, yes 7 Some might have loved
Before us in their humdrum fashion;
But never yet the world had known
so wild, so deep, so pure passion
We recked not of the heartless crowd,
Nor Needed cruel parents frowning;
But lived In one long, blissfu dream,
And spouted Tennyson and Browning.
And when the cruel fates decreed
That for season should leave her,
IL wrung my very heart TO see
How much our parting seemed to grieve her.
One happy moment, too, her head
Reposed, so lightly, on my shoulder
In dreams live that scene again,
And In my arms again enfold her.
She gave me one long auburn curl,
She wore my picture In locket;
Her letters, with blue ribbon tied,
carried In my left coat-pocket.

Displayed more sentiment than knowledge)

In which, without the slightest warning,
She said she shortly meant to wed

She sent my notes and ruby ring,
And hoped would forget my folly"

And swore hailed with joy the hour
