house and location of the furniture,
with respect to the persons present,
after patient hearing Of the witnesses
and, as we believe, an impartial weigh

"Wednesday afternoon a very
good-looking young lady called
into a dry goods store on Wood
ward avenue and made a purchase
of a silk dress and trimmings. the
whole amounting TO over $50. She
asked that the bill and parcel be
sent to a certain number on Co
lumbia street, at three o'clock, and
they were so sent. She met the
boy within half block of the house
and took the parcel, saying, Go
right in and mother will pay the
BILL He went right in and he
was not long in ascertaining that
mother didn't live there and didn't
know anything about the bill. He
rushed out and cantered up and
down the street, but neither the
young lady nor the silk dress have
been found yet. She was seen
walking up and down Columbia
street for half an hour previous to
the boys arrival, and the game she
played is considered pretty smart
for Detroit, which doesn't take
naturally to sin and iuiqulty like

seems from the number Of pupils, which is
upwards of eighty, and the number OF Wis

often exists among members Of different
denominations is fast giving way for
more charitable tol erance Of individual

the Sabbath school, the introduction OF the

The tomb of the Bonaparte fami-
ly at Napoleon st. Leu will now
have a curious interest for travel
lers, and it is interesting to specu-
late as to whether Napoleon Ill.
will ever rest there. Should his
son ever succeed in reaching the
throne, there will be a formal
translation of the remains from
Chiselhurst TO France. Even should
the Bourbons triumph it is not like
ly that they would refuse to per
nit the body of the dead Emperor
to repose in the soil of France
Louis Philippe accorded this grace
to the mortal remains of Napoleon
l., and his example will probably
be followed IN the case of the
nephew of his uncle Even the re-
public could scarce refuse this boon,
which will probably be sought as
soon as France has a stable govern
ment.

THE ROBINS NEST.


The climbing roses on the porch
- <aar-fio- -Azzs0t- I3EoIaizR iaf tha Spring.
And slyly on the passing breeze
The homage of their fragrance fling.
The riyulet has burst its bonds,
And glorying in its new-found power,
Carols the Joy OF freedom gained,
To spTinging grass and tender flower.
A robin twitrring on the bOugh,
Says to his mate. Glove, let US iy
Aud seek soft lining for our nest,
Where warm our little birds may lie.''
The young wife sits upoa the porch,
And busily her distzff plies;
The while she thinks upon her babe,
And gently murmurs lullabies.
When through the open cottage door
A little wall the mother hears,
She hastens TO the cradle side
To soothe and quiet baby's fears.
Unheeded, on the mossy step
The well used distaff lies;
The robins, from the garden walk,
Watch it with longing eyes.
They hop 4 little nearer now,
Then, listening. raise their heads
Till o'er the distaf lowering close,
They snap its fiuttering threads.
The housewife, stepping on the porch,
Takes up her work once more,
And little thinks two petty thieves
Have robbed her thrifty store.
And yet, her lullaby tonight
Would be more glad ween,
Could she but peep behind the boughS,
And see what might be seen.
Hidden by apple blossoms pink,
Is built robins nest
With lining soft Of hair and down;
Where birdlings five will rest.
Aud twisted in with wondrous art,
And tireless, loving toll,
See in the middle Of the nest,
The distaff's lsxCn spoil.
None the less soft for little birds
Will be the pretty bed,
Because a human mothers thoughts
Are woven with The thread.

BICKHAM ON NCOLT-BREAKING. When
in Kentucky last week we saw a two
year-Old colt brOke-dead brOke-in a
half-hour, so that he worked as amia-
bly, as a trained horse. The colt had
never been blidled. He was attached
to a curricle called a 'fbreak-dray, {"
and put through astonishingly quick.
The break-drays arc nothing more
than a strong, broad tread-dray, with
long shafts; the tail omitted, and a
spring seat between the wheels. The
harness was strong, and so arranged
over the hips as to prevent the possi-
bility of high kicking, and the colt
was hitched so far from the dray that
his heels could not possibly reach the
driver. The process of hitching was,
of course, very delicate, as a colt is
excessively ticklish, and is apt to let
his heels fly aSkwardly. All being
ready, one man held the colt, and an
other took the seat aud reins. The
colt was then let go TO plunge as he
pleased The break-dray-Wh was
so broard that upsetting seemed out
of the questiOn-was pushed upon
the colt, and the colt pushed sidewise
until he started. A few plunges set
tied him. He went as he pleased, up
hill and down hill, and 50 on, until
he finally struck a sober trot, and was
thoroughly broke. The confused and
bewildered look on that colt was pitt
fully amusing. Mr.. Bod Strader was
giving directions, and upon ona % tila
DfeaEsrs raising his hand 10 slap the
cot 20 urge him, mr.. f5tsa-lor said:
Don't do that. Never strike colt
when you are breaking him. Push
him sideways, or any way. Let him
90 just where he will or how he will.
Let him fall down if he viii, but don't
strike him." When the colt was taken
out Of the shafts he was as wet as if
he had been in water, and a child
could have handled him. He had not
been struck blow. The dray, we be-
lieye, was invented by Mr.. Strader.

Avon SMOKING CARs.-The
Troy Times tells this for fact:
A ludicrous scene was witnessed on
a Rensselaer, and Saratoga train the
other day. A newly-married
couple entered the car and took a
seat. The husband, wanting to
smoke, left his wife and went into
the smoking car. The bride tegan
to doze, and while she slept a
stranger entered the car, and as it
was crowded quietly took a seat
beside the young wife. Shortly
she began to nod, and doubtless i'm
agining that her husband was still
in the scat, gently reclined towards
the stranger, and soon her head
fondly nestled on his breast. At
this juncture the husband returned.
He stood in mute astOnishment in
the aisle until the lady awOke, and
realizing the situation drew back
in amazement, suifused with blush
es. Stranger explained, husband
was satisfied, and wife tried hard to
appear unconcerned.'
