monks box, but my master has the Key
in his possession, and so, If you would
open it, you needs must force the lock"
"You are ready with your wit, pretty
one" said one of the robbers as he cast
a scrutinizing glance at Marcelline's face
IL fear to trust you too far, so you must
excuse me if we just secure you till after
our job is completed"
As the man spoke he led the girl back
to the har-room, and, taking from his
pocket piece of stout cord, he proceed
cd to lash her to chair. She stoutly
resisted, and even attempted to utter Il
cry, but cloth soon stopped her power
or utterance, after which her hands were
dashed to the chair. After this the rob-
Oers took a few tools from one of their
sacks and proceeded ut once to force the
stout closet door,
For moment after Marccllinc had
been left alone she almost gave up in
despair: but her woman's wit soon came
to her aid and CLEAN of hope lighted
up her cOuntcnancc. From where the
villains were at work they could not see
into the bar-room, and after listening for
a moment or two, to assure herself that
they were fairly busy, she moved her
chair noiselcsSly toward the table, upon
which candle had been left burning.
BY considerable cNertion she managed to
get hold of the candlcStick with her
teeth. and then carefully set it upon a
chair. \ moment more she listened, and
then she turned her back to the candle
in such manner us to bring the outer
cord into the blaze 1t required
not half Il minute to burn off
the cord that had secured her to
the seat, and then, bending over, she
took the back of the chair in her teeth
and carefully moved ii out of the way.
Then she turned again and placed in the
blaze the cord that bound her wrists.
The lashings burned. and so did her
flesh, but with perfect sclfdevOtion she
heroically withstood the pain, and in Il
few moments she was free.
Marcelline now breathed more freely.
The key was still in the lock of the door
that opened the back room. and quick as
thought the heroic girl sprang forward
and closed it upon those beyond The
key was turned. and Marccllinc then ran
to the front door, unlocked it, threw it
open and sprang into the highway. 1t
was but the work of few moments to
rouse some of the hunters. and ere long
the two robhcr-travclcrS were in safe
custody. They not only lost their booty,
but also their liberty: and on the next
day were safely conveyed to Trieste and
delivered up to justice. Lubin was found
in the room With his mouth bound up and
his arms pinioned to his chair: hut the
satisfaction OF being released from his
unpleasant situation made him forget the
indignities he had received

The Litti, Sidewalk Artist.

His name is James William Carlin, and
he was born in Liverpool of Irish par
cnts. lie is now thirteen years of age,
and an orphan. With hair that could
hardly have made the acquaintance of
comb or brush, a thrcadbarc sack coat.
greasy vest, Il pair of blue overallS,
through the rents in which the old, worn
pantaloons are visible, and Il pair OF
coarse, unblacked shoes, he resembles in
everything but his face the familiar
street gamin. But the broad, high fore:
head, the large, dreamy, blue eyes, and
thoughtful, varying expression OF his
countenance tell of his living in an inner
world. unknown to the rude, unSentl-
mental bootblacks and newsbOys with
whom he associates.
The crowd thickens, and the last COM
crs strain their necks to see what is go
ing on. Inside the circle the Older pco-
pie stand silently watching the child
with that reverence that true art, crude
though it be, always inspires.
With the broad tjagstones iOr canvas,
the foot of a wooden s,Ocking for an
artists case, and crayons of various tints
for cOlors, resting his knees on his bat
tered felt hat, the child's plant fingers
sketch with quick, nervous movement a
floating battery discharging its guns at a
fort by moonlight, grotcsquc figures OF
men and animals, or portraits of distin-
guishcd men, and the eyes of the crowd
follow every movement OF the crayon as
it leaves its mark upon the rough stone.
The crowd press upon him and he stops
his work to gently push them back, the
mass obeying his motion as readily as If
he had the authority of an officer.
Returning again to his sketch he
stops his busy fingers to give the pc.
culiar sidewise look at his unfinished
work that every artist bestows upon his
progressive picture, and then proceeds
again until his task is done.
Rising from his knees, and taking the
hat which has served hinl for cushion
in his hand, he presents it to the crowd
for gratuities, and men drop cents and
five-cent coins into it as if they were pay
ing mite of merited tribute to genius,
not as if giving aims for charity's sake:
What will be the future of this walt OF
an artist would be hard to tell, but It is
not impossible that James William Car

Religious and Educational.

The faculty of the California Uni
versity has adopted il plan of loaning
funds to poor students, practice which
is designed to do away with the system
of manual labor hitherto practiced at the
university.
DR.. II. NJ. Hatfield defines Il super
numcrary Methodist minister as one
who. because of impaired health, is tenn
porarily unable to perform effective
work. \ preacher who is worn out and
superannuated is not Il supernumerary.
1t is proposed to divide the State OF
Illinois into three Protestant Episcopal
dioccscs by lines running from east to
west The middle district will be called
Quincy us that is the largest city in that
division. The plan will likely be
adopted at the General Convention in
October.

The Rev. Mr.. Cook. who has been
for many years laboring to bring the
Sioux within the pale of the Episcopal
Church. seems to be dishcartcned with
his task. In Il httcr recently written to
the Indian Commission he declares that,
in his opinion, the influences OF the
Gospel would be brought home to them
more imprcsSivcly if preaching was sup
plcmentcd with a sound thrashing.
From the minutes of the General
Association of Massachusetts" it appears
that there are in that State sos Orthodox
Congregational churches, 3l4 pastors
and ! rs acting pastors, $3.50 male and
IS. 669 female members, making -. 40
members in all. The net gain of mem
bcrS during 1873 was 1.Ol5. Twenty
ministers have died during the year;
their average personal age was sixty
years. their average ministerial age thir-
tv-Onc years. During the last twenty
one years 26o Congregational ministers
have died in Massachusetts: their aver
age personal age was SiNty-two wears, and
their average ministerial age was thirty
five years. This certainly speaks well for
Che healtht'ulne>s Of ministerial life.
The Methodist Episcopal Church is
at present carrying on missions in ten
countries, viz: In Liberia. where they
have Il resident Bishop, SiNty-One preach

thirty-siN missionaries, eighty native help

Aud high and higher In the air
The flames are lcapinE light and airy.
Now. farmers. guard your boarded grain:
The flames are wider. tcrcer growing.
And. urging on the fiery train.
The raging wind is wildly blowing.
The sun sinks low. the waning light
l. fading fast from hills and meadows:
The night. so strangely. granGly bright.
Nantes the earth in titful shadows
Vow icrccr still the wild winds blow
The sky the fiery color catches:
And brighter vet the red flames glow
And wide the blackcned prairie stretches.

"A recent strike of the male operatives
in Dunham's woolcn-m ut Pequonnock,
Conn, was an act of gallantry, it seems.
The wages of some of the girls had been
reduced because they were wastefui,
which vcxcd the men so that they not
only struck, but wouldn't allow the girls
to work. The strikers were so threaten
ing at one time that the bosses had to
pull out their rcvolvcrs. Five ring
leaders who were arrested compromised
by paying the cost of prosecution.
