Tn ROMANCE OF 4 ROBBERY.-
Jefferson County, West Virginia, is
lust now in the enjoyment of a nice
sensation. Not scan mag. no; but
quite interesting nevertheless. The
story is believed 10 be true by the
people who live nesr the scene of the
chief act, and runs in this way: Some
time in the latter days of the rebel
lion an officer OF the federal army-a
louartermaster, paymaster or some
jother functionary through whose
hands great deal of the nations cash
had occasion TO pass. buried the large
sum Of forty thousand dollsrs beneath
the roots Of a large osk tree BY the
side Of the road leading from Char
Ilestown TO Shepherdstown. West
Virginia. The money was well con-
ceaIed, bu; as regards the motive
which actuated the officer in making
such . peculiar deposit the reader
NAV form his own inference from the
sequel.
II has been suggested by the
charitably inclined that as a measure
of safety fol the time being this dis
position of the funds was necessary,
and that the intentions Of the officer
were pure enough, but subsequent
events rather tend to dissipate the
latter part of this theory. Soon ar,
ter the close OF the var the accounts
of the official were found u be "des-
perately short" TO use an expression
Of more recent origin, and criminal
prosecution was instituted by the
Government against the delinquent,
who refused most obstinatsly 20 re
veal the whereabouts of the missing
cash. The accused being also toe
avar;cisus TO divide, there was no al.
tentative left to the guardians of the
nations interests save that ofzealous.

which it must be presumed the
prisoner had not entirely failed tf

ends the first chapter, and the second
begins.
The sentence served out, and the
majesty Of the law demonstrated al

wOHAN's LOVE DBEAH.
BY NErTIE POWER HOUSTON.


We all have waking visions-I have mine,
And being young and faneiful, and counted
I sometimes dream OF love.
And sitting All alone and musing still,
While yet the freight hickers dim,
I ask myself, II should learn to love,
II my still heart could wake 10 life,
How would love and how would be loved
For am weary Of idOlatry.
My soul Is faint within me while think
OF all the herce. strong passion
I have seen and known, resistless In its might
As some rOck-cleaving stream.
would be loved in calmness-
Trusted, and not feared.
lie whom loved should be my king,
And not my slave.
do not ask that he be proud and cold,
But calm and brave, and very strong
A king like saul, among the sons OF men,
And kinglier DER himself
De must not tremble at my slightest frown,
Nor stmdder II another meets my eve;
NOT must he, like a vasSal, crave my smile
diao IN the dust before my feet 10 lie
For am weary OF ssrvilify
would not rule, nor would ! vet be ruled;
scorn the tyrant as / scorn his slave.
There is love Of sweet equality,
The love God gave and smiled upon;
For II was very good.
He whom love must be my King,
But must be his Queen;
And he should yield me as my tribute due
Inc reverence mad earned
Not only by my womRnhOod, but by all gentle
ness,
Long-sufferlng the patient sweetness
Only love can teach;
For looking on me he should feel and know
That peace and rest which follow after toll;
In me his heart should in such safety trust
That he should "have no need OF spoil"
do not ask for him the worlds applause,
Ihe blaze OF heraldry, the pOmp OF fame;
His deeds the annals Of a nations pride;
His name upon the lips OF men;
But must feel his power
Must know he could be what oarth's heroes
arc
l could not love him were he not great
His hand must be both safe and strong;
A hand 10 shield, 10 trust, TO lay my Owl
within,
To stake my life upon;
hand that might have fought with Hercules
Yet would not harm the worm within his path
For tho the heart OF woman loveth of
A thing she doth unwillingly despise,
IL Is pitiful, imperfect love that hRth not
For It's cornerstone the rock OF Faith.
HIS heart must be most tender and most true
a heart that loves, and pitieS, and befriends
Earth's suffering children, whether high,
or yet among the iOwly and the poor;
And he must love me perfectly.
II from the first fruits OF my hearts fair weatl
bring an Offering for a lOve-crOwn made,
he must not mock me with paltry love,
Nor stOOp % cheat my soul.
II should ever meet this man,
This king only dream and never see,
Inen could sit most meckly at his feet
A very child before his weakness and his power
And while he stopped 10 kiss my shining hair
or smooth its clusters from their clinging rest
Asweet, unspOken language in his touch
would I'M my dark eyes 10 the dark OF his:
And as in fair JEdea when the world was young
sarah with reverence said to Abraham,
Ny lips should call him Lord"

FLoGGING CRUIINALs.-Whe to
revive flogging as a means of punish
ment for certain crimes, or to import
lynch law from the Western States, is
just now the subject of discussion in
England. OF course suggestions as to
the last-named means of reform are
more or less jocose, but so alarming has
been the increase of brutality of late,
that the Government is in receipt of
memorials from towns and cities pray
ing for the power of furnishing by the
lash, crimes of robbery from the person
with violence, the oflense of wife-beat-
ing, all offenses in which the knife is
used, and professional thieves who have
been thrice convicted. In Lancashire
and the vicinity of Glasgow these cases
of wanton brutality have been especially
frequent. Women and old men have
been kicked to death, the assailants
having no apparent object but TO inflict
personal suffering, and the criminals,
when caught, have been dealt with in a
manner which does not sufficiently in
spire either the actual perpetrators or
their possible imitators with a whole
some terror of the law. The code, in
deed, is very mild, and even if the ex-
treme punishment be inflicted, the de-
sired effect is not gained. Moreover,
magistrates hesitate to sentence man
to long confinement when he has fam
lily dependent on him for support. The
favorable result of authorizing the use
of the cat, when garotting came in
vogue i'm London few years ago, is
cited as an eminently practical reason
why the same authority should be re-
newed now. The brutalizing effect Of
hogging is the chief argument against
its employment rs legal punishment,
but Il man who will kick fellow being
to death for the fun of it will not be APP
preciably brutalized by the lash. The
small loss of self-respect, if any resulted,
would be amply compensated by the
pledge Of good behavior insured by fear.

Boys.

"Boys is bother" says five-year-old
Gertrude, and many an older Gertrude
will agree with her. There are many
varieties of these pests, among which
are found the good boy, the bad boy, the
big boy, the little boy, the wild boy, the
fat boy, and the fast boy. The good boy
is at present almost extinct. There are
many boys who are very good while
they are sick, when attending funerals,
and when sleeping. But at other times!
Well The bad boy is fellow who
will bear watching. When he does
wrong he should be corporally rebuked,
with a good dose of Solomon's birch
tonic. One of these bad boys has been
trying TO find virtuous stage-driyer.
His test is to hit the driver i'm the head
with a turnip or potato; then il he
swears, he is a bad man-if not, he is
very yirtuous. The same boy has tested
! fifty-six drivers, and found but one vir-
tuous man. The man was dumb. The
| little fellow is he who runs srrands, tells
| tales, cuts his fingers, tumbles down
stairs every morning before breakfast,
pulls the cats tail until she gives him q
| token of her affections on the hand or
cheek, and never uses his poeket-hand-
kerchlef. The big boy is the important
| individual who "bosses' the little fel-
/ low at every opportunity ana IS very
fond of displaying his own vast learn
ing. The wild boy is the most difficult
TO manage, for lac is not a bad boy-that
is, he does not lie, steal nor swear. He
only allows his large stock of animal
spirits full play-and sometimes they
play the mischief The fat boy-well,
Dickens has described his peculiarities,
so we viii pass on to the fast boy, who
is found only in our large cities. He is
the citizen who smokes fine cigars, ex-
pectorates freely, wears fashy clothes,
drives fast horses, and drinks himself
into an early grave. Alas for the fast
boy He has the sympathy of none
But were we to choose the tone We love
best' among this horde, we should say
give us the active, mischievous, pugilis-
tic, lovable, mother-adoring, "wild"
boy. OF such stuff as he earth's noble
men are made IVdUerly MdgQzinc.
