near Seventeenth, and ordered lunch.
After It was disposed Of, the whole crowd Il is

THE PILLAR OF BEAUTY.

"Scatter the gems OF the beautiful
BY the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring at the cottage gate
And the vine on the garden WALL
Cover the rough and rude Of earth
With vail Of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march of Summers hours.
"Scatter the gems Of the besotifri
In the holy shrine Of home!
Let the pure, the fair, and the graceful there
In the l0veliest lustre come
Leave not trace Of deformity
In the temple of the heart,
But gather about the earth lis germs
OF nature and Of art.
"Scatter the gems OF the beautiful
In the temple OF our Cod
The God who starreth the uplilted sky,
And lowered the trampled sod;
When He built temple for HIMSELF
And a home for His priestly race,
lie reared each arch in nsymmetry
And curved each line in grace.
"Scatter the gems Of the beautiful
In the depths Of the human soul;
They bud and blossom, and bear the lruii,
While the endless ages roll
Plant with the bowers Of charity
The portals Of the tomb,
And the fair and pure about His path
In Paradise shall bloom"

stanIly giving confectionery to the little
ones that he came in contact with, and
in other ways he sought to win their con-
fidence, acting always on the fact that
more flies can be caught with molasses
than with vinegar"
He is evidently physiological mon
strosity, and is possessed of mania for
cruelty, for which. perhaps. he may not
be responsible. Persons Interested in
the Transmission If peculiartiies from
mother to child may be interested to
know that Mrs. Pomeroy, his mother
says that shortly before the boy Jesse
was born she had an irresistible dpsire
to visit the slaughter house where her
husband was at work, and watch his
slaughter of sheep and cattle generally.
She also states that as soon as he was
born, and as soon as he was old enough,
he was constantly sticking knives into
pieces of neat and manifested habit
generally destructive.
His mother, however, denies the birth
mark theory, says she never saw an ami
NAL killed in her life, that the stories
of his sticking knives into meat and of
the visit of the ply siciaps, &C., are all
false, aud thinks his mania was caused
by vaccination when he WAS four weeks
old, and it is evident the case is to be one
of very fine spun theories,
Considerable feeling is expressed
against Capt Dyer, that he was not
more faithful in the discharge of his
duties in searching the store and cellar,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Curran desired, instead
of laughing at their fears.
