SIuicing Him Down.

A lady had gone to visit a young couple of the better class of the poor. The husband being stoker on 8 rail way, they were above the reach of want. The visitor thought they might go to church on Sundays, and she said so to the young wife.
 "Wi1l you please walk in till I show you something ?" was the woman's an- swer, and she conducted her visitor to the little kitchen, where her husband sat by the fire. He had just come home for half an hour to have his tea. He was, of course, in his working clothes, and his face and hands were of deep, oily black, after the manner of stokers. "Now, ma'am," said the woman, "you se6 that there man. That's my hus- band and I'm bound to do a part by him, ain't I ?"
 "Surely," said the visitor, anxious to uphold the duties of matrimony.

A Clerical EmetiC.

It is not often that a prisoner is brought to trial upon the charge laid against Father Baronius, when he ap- peared before the tribunal at Treviglio, in Lombardy. This worthy ecclesiastic was accused, says the Pa1 AaW Ga- zette, of putting 8 strong emetic into the wine which some of his brother priests were about to use in the cele- bration of mass, and his only defense was that he wanted to play practical joke upon two of them who had recent iy come to Treviglio. They belonged to an opposite school of theology, and Father Baronius, who seemed surprised that his application of emetics to reh- zion should have caused so great @ scandal, thought that if he could not convert them he might at least punish them. It would have been useless for him to have denied the main facts of the accusation, as the dose was so strong that one of the victims was ill for week, while the doctors at Ire viglio, possessing but very elementary knowledge of the healing art, thought that he had been poisoned, and sub mitted him to so severe a diet that he was reduced to 8 skeleton. The offend ing priest was charged upon the double count of misdemeanor and sacrilege, and was sentenced to seven months inn ,,vicnpyoont

The Bembardment of Bilbao.

A correspondent of the London 7ynaes. who was in Bilbao immediately after the raising of the siege, says: "Many of the inhabitants have pale, famins-stricken looks, but the majority have suffered less than might have been expected, although their privatlons have been very severe. A room was shown to me in which many persons were huddled together, among them Q woman in child bed. I heard of another family which for seven weeks lived ln a cellar, sleeping in their clothes: MaHy have naturally suffered for want of light and air food also was scarce and bad, and for the last five days there was no bread, and garbanzes and maize cakes were used as substitutes. Cats and rats are said to have been eaten commonly. Horsefesh was As. Q pound, veal Ss., one egg 1s., a cabbage Ss: There was little wine, and that or pao quality. |. .sl g
 "The inhabitants deserve the highest credit for their resolute endurance. They declare they were prepared to hold out another month. Few hves have been lost less than thirty. Great precaution was taken, doors and wln- dows being fortified with sand bags and blanks, and watchmen placed in towers to observe the besieging batteries and blow horns warning people to retire within doors whenever 8 gun was fired. The destruction of property, however, is terrible. Scarcely one house mas escaped, the interior of many being de- molished. One received forty.two shells, another twenty-five. Scarcely whole pane of glass is to be seen any where. The Carlists bombarded thirty. nine days, and threw 5000 shells of old, spherical pattern. In addition to the destruction inside the town, numerous houses were set on fire by portion of the Bilbao Volunteers, who who were angry with the occupants Tor sympathizing with the Carhsts. Many farm houses. around Bilbao are still 1n flames. Three bridges in Bilbao have also been destroyed by floods. The river is now clear, and the first steamer that arrived since the siege was loudly cheered by large crowd. The Carlists left behind three spiked guns. Their precipitate retreat is said to be owing to four battalions refusing to fight.

Do Cats Think ?

A New Hampshire paper relates the following story, asserting that it comes to it "through reliable source :"- In store in Exeter, short time ago, hogshead had been left opened, and upon going to it company of rats were found in the bottom, having been att tracted thither by it's contents, and be- ing unable to get out. The store cat was brought in and placed in position to see them, but after taking a good look jumped down and ran out at the door, shortly reappearing with another cat. They now looked over the situa- tion and retired, soon coming back with the third cat. They now seemed satisfied with their force and made an attack, jumping into the hogshead. The cats had, however, miscalculated the force of their enemy, and two were killed, the other being taken out in sea- son to save its life.

The fourth of November came, and, in the meantime, I had ordered my servant to keep strict watch on Lieut.. Brown. He reported that evening that the foreigner was missing, and on in- quiry, this turned out to be true. still kept my own counsel, but as I halted near a ravine overlooking Sebas- | topel, I promised promotion to any man who should capture any person coming from the enemy's line, for I felt convinced the foreigner had gone over and would probably return under cover of night. At midnight Sebasto- pol was enveloped in dense fog. But throughout that ive-long night I was on the alert, encouraging the guards on my right to keep 8 sharp eye and cutter ear on Sabastopol. It was near the dawn when the bells in Sabastopol commenced to ring. The men thought they were the bells for church. This continued for some time. I applied my ear to the ground. Could I be mis- taken? The sound of wheels, as if muff1ed, caught my ear. Then the in- distinct tramp of numerous bodies of men.
 Before had time to rise, the report of 8 nusket from the outlying posts startled me.
 Another and another followed in rapid succession, the outposts fell back upon the rallying point had indicated, and I determined to show a front. Judge my surprise, when Russian officer, in dim outline, stood before me, and ih his rear were some half dozen staff officers feeling their way. Some thing was said in Russian, which I did not understand but the voice, there was no disguising that. It was the foreigner. My first intention was to shoot him down. In an instant I thought better of it. fell upon him afid disarmed him. Two men bound him, and in whisper, I gave him in charge of corporal and four men.
 Headquarters" I whispered to them, and they marched on with their prisoner. Why speak of what followed !? Is not the story of the battle of Inker. man and it's results known to all?
 On the same Sunday afternoon Lieu tenant Brown, alias the foreigner, alias Kirkoff-for it turned out he was a Russian by birth-was tried by drum head court-martial.
 At first he denied everything, but afterward made full confession. I recapitulated what is already known, and reproduced the slip from his note- book. His handwriting alone con- demned him. I was the chief witness. And almost instantly he was ordered then and there to be hanged by the neck.
 He pleaded to be shot. But the court scornfully rejected his appeal. He was flung off from neighbering tree on the heights of Inkerman. And on his breast, in English and Russian, were written those brief but terrible words" The fate of spy"

 A little nearer to the sky!
 To the blue hills, lifted high, Out of all eur misery.
 Where alone is heard the lark, Warbling in the infinite arc, From the dawning to the dark. Where the callow eaglets wink On the bare and breezy brink, And slow pinions rise and sink, Where the dim white breakers beat Under olotd-drifts at our feet, Singing, singing, low and sweet. Where we see the glimmering bay Grayly melting far away, On the confines of the day. Where the green larch-fringes sweep Rocky defles, still and steep, Where the tender ichens creep: Where the gentian- blossoms blow, Set in crystal stars of snow; Where the downward torrents flow To the plains and yellow leas, Glancing, twinkling, through the trees, Pure, as from celestial seas: Where the face of heaven has smiled, Aye on freedom, sweet and wild, Aye, on beauty undefiled. Where no sound of human speech, And no human passions reach, Where the angels sit and teach. Where no troubious foot has trod; Where is Impressed on the sod Only Hand and Heart of God!

leg giving way aud he fell falnting to

10 return to town on horseback, but
was compelled to dismount and await
the coming Of the spring wagon sent
