to stand by another lady wearing larger
diamonds than her own, or more point

world think, as under the chandelier
this painful contrast comes out ? Such
moments of deep humiliation cause
sleepless nights, and the next day result
in bills that become as crushing as
criminal indictments topoor overworked
men. Under the impulse of such try
ing scenes as these, many a matron has
gone forth on Broadway with firm lips
and eyes in which glowed inexorable
purpose, and placed upon her arms or
fingers, that might have helped her
husband forward, the gems that would
be millstones about his neck. There
are many phases of heroism, but if you
want your breath taken away, go to q

some large-souled women, who will not

A Terrible Fate.

Belle Palmer Wheeler, of East
Meadow, l.. l., who had just married a
young man named Wheeler of the same
village, met with an awful death. She
had just been placed in light carriage
by her husband, who was preparing to
follow her, when some person fred off
a gun in close proximity to the horses
head as parting salute to the young
couple.
The sudden report frightened the
spirited animal, who gave bound for
ward, broke from his fastenings and
rushed at terrific pace down the de-
serted street, the light wagon careening
from side to side in menacing manner
In attempting to round short curve
the carriage was overturned and the
young lady thrown, and, becoming en-
tangled in the harness, was unable to
extract herself, and was dragged for
about half mile over the rough road,
where the horse was brought to stand
by falling into ditch by the roadside.
Here the unfortunate young lady was
found by the relatives and husband a
short time after. Her head was nearly
torn from her body, and every limb was
found to be broken in a number of
places. She was dead when removed,
but look of unutterable agony was
fastened upon her still handsome fea-
lures, showing what terrible suffering
she must have endured,

The Frenchman's state of mind was
a study for a psychologist for the rest
of that day. But Harry Waring was
already safe at home in England, leav-
ing no address behind him.

gina Belassys to tell her the story of
his romantic good fortune. l think old

young lady's preference for Harry. at

A Touching Incident.

A recent letter from the chaplain Of
the Auburn prison relates the following
affecting incident There died in this
prison, during the past week a young
man of good parts, member of highly
respectable family in another land. and
who became involved in the meshes of
the law through moral irresolution
rather than innate depravity. His
thoughts, which had wandered much
during his latter days, on the last one
of all centred upon his home, and he
imagined that the most eager wish of
his heart in this extremity had been
realized, and that his loving mother
soothed his dying bed. A few moments
before his soul took flight he raised
himself slightly, and extended his at
tenuated arm, drew down close to his
lips the shadow conjured from his own
fond affections, while with look OF
ineffable content glorifying his pallid
features, his last breath was surren.

Endurance.


How much the heart may bear, and vet not
break
How much the flesh may suffer and not die
L much If any pain or ache
OF soul or body, brings the end more nigh.
Death chooses his own time till that is sworn,
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shudder at the surgeons knife,
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel steel.
Whose edge seems searching for the ouiyeripe
life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal,
That though the trembling flesh be torn,
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way,
And strive to fly from the approaching ill;
we seek some small escape-we weep and
pray
But when the blow-falls then our hearts are
still;
Not that the pain is Of its sharpness shorn,
But that it can be borne
We wind our life about another life
We hold it closer, dearer than our own;
Anon it faints and falls in deadly strife,
Leaving us stunned, and STRICKEN and alone
But alb we do not die with what we mourn
This also can be borne
Behold! we live through all things-famine,
thirst,
Bereavement, pain, all grief and misery,
All WOO and sorrow. Life inficts its worst
On soul and body, but we cannot die.
Enough we be sick and tired, and faint and
worn,
Lo all things may be borne.

Paid 1t.

In March last Baron Porcari, when at
his estate of Collesano, in Sicily, was
captured by five brigands, two of whom
were notorious chiefs named Pasquale
and Leone. The men were masked and
armed. Baron Porcari was blindfolded
and carried off on horse. After a long
journey, during which they stopped
several times at novels on the roadside,
they reached dark cavern, into which
the Baron was dragged. He yielded at
last to threats, and signed an order for
$4,000. On the morning of March 21
when the band were away, the Bare n
succeeded in escaping by crawling out
of the opening which led into the
grotto. He found himself not far from
the Roccapalumba railway station, at
which he arrived in safety, after swim
ming across the intervening river. Al
though the ransom had not been paid
at the time the Baron succeeded in
effecting his escape, he telegraphed to
his brother-in-law to pay the money
on the presentation of the order. 1t is
probable that he feared assassination in
the event of non compliance with his
agreement. The Baron's captivity
lasted eleven days,

SeIf.Denial-Wbat Came of IT.

The following interesting account OF
the results of little self-denial is from
the pen of the late Horace Mann:
once knew a young man who, on
removing from the country to the city,
was introduced to avery respectable
circle of persons, about his own age,
who were in the habit of meeting peri
odically for the nominal purpose, at
least, of conversation and social i'm
provement. But any BOXER on at their
symposia might not have been deemed
uncharitable had he Supposed that the
supper, the wine and the cigars consti-
tuted the principal attraction. He be-
came one of their number, and for a
time enjoyed the hilarity and shared
the expense of the entertainments but,
being at last rebuked by his conscience
for this mode of spending both time
and money, he quietly withd. ew from
the club, though without abandoning
his intimacy with its members.
Through one of their number he
learned the average cost of their sup
pers, and taking an equal sum from his
own scantily filed purse, he laid il
aside as fund for charity. At the end
OF single season ne found himself in
possession of hundred dollars, wholly
made up of these sums saved from gen
teel dissipation. This amount he took
to poor but most exemplary family,
consisting of a widow and several small
children, all of whom were struggling
as for life, and against series of ad-
verse circumstances, to maintain q
show of responsibility, and to provide
the means of attending the public
schools. The bestowment of this sum
upon the disheartened mother and the
fatherless children, together with the
sympathy and counsel that accompanied
it, seemed to put new heart into the
bosoms of them all. 1t proved the
turning point in their fortunes. Some
small debts were paid, the necessary
school books and few articles of de-
cent clothing were obtained, the chill
dren sprang forward in their studies,
equaling or outstripping all their COM
petitors, and at the present time they
are all among the most respectable,
exemplary and useful citizens in the
State.

The Welsh In the United States,

The principal Welsh settlements in
the United States are in New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Wisconsin.
The Welsh are generally honest, peace
full and industrious. They are noted
also for their patriotism and strong re-
ligious feeling. A community without
a chapel is unknown, and they make
their Sabbath school most interesting
and important institution. 1t is not
confined to children, but the whole
community attend it, and it is not an
uncommon sight to see classes COM
posed of persons ranging in age from
60 to 70, one of them being the teacher.
Thus, from their youth they have made
the bible their study; and many of
these unpretending old people, in their
profound knowledge of theology, would
put to blush many graduate of our
modern theological institutions.
Their singing is always congregational,
and they have many eloquent preachers.

Robert COlIyer's Early Life.

A biographer of Robert Collyer says
of his mother: "I found Mrs. Collyel
residing with her son-in-law, Mr.. John
| Shires, of Beeston Hill, near Leeds.
She is blonde, beautiful old lady oi
about seventy.seven, with a gentle blue
eye and certain play of humor about
her eye and mouth which left me at nc
loss to know where her son got his love
of fun. Her voice was clear and kind,
and her manner in receiving an old
friend of her son most cordial. "There
is not very much to tell about his early
life. We know nothing about his faith
er's family except that Roberts grand
father was killed in the battle of Trafal.
gar as one of Nelson's sailors. My par
ents died when I was child. My hus-
band was blacksmith, earning eight.
cen shillings week-the usual wages
at that time. Robert was born at Keigh-
ley, though our home before and after
was Blubberhouse. My husband had
difference with his employer about
wages, and went away to Keighley,
where Robert was born, but he was
only nine days old when his employer
sent for my husband again, and we went
back to Blubberhouse, where my son
was christened, and which is the only
early home he remembers. My hus-
band was not much of reader, and we
had in our house only four books-the
Bible, Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress, ,"
the Young Mans Companion" and
Robinson Crusoe."
"Robert went to school in all four y ears
to man at Fewston named Willie Har-
die. Willie was not perhaps scholar,
and took to teaching because he had
lost the use of his legs and couldn't do
any other work. Robert went to see
him when he came back from America.
Hardie is still living. That four years
between his fourth and eighth years
of age-was all the schooling he ever
had. He soon learned to read, and he
soon knew our four books by heart.
Then he laid up every penny he could,
and bought one or two other books !;
among them, I remember, was "San-
ford and Merton" which he very much
liked. But his favorite books were the
Bible and "Robinson Crusoe." He
was always reading when he was not
working. never remember a meal in
which he did not have book open on
the table reading while he ate. He
would get SO lost in his book that if we
wanted him for anything we had to call
out Robert =" The old lady accom-
panied this description with little
dramatic action but fearing might
think her son had to be reprimanded,
she added, delicately, "But we didn't
call Grossly. 1 never had to speak
sharply to Robert-never-nor, indeed" I"

Civilization.

There is not little romance in the
various motives which governed the
original settlers of America. But the
traveller of to-day abhors the process by
which our Northwest is made ready for
civilization. An irate cosmopolite, Cap
tain Butler, gives this description OF
the process "Place on the river q
steamboat of the rudest construction
wherever the banks are of easy ascent
build drinking house of rough logs
let the name of God be only used il
blasphemy, and language be medium
for the conveyance of curses. Call i
hill "a bluff a valley "a gulch, a fire
fly "a lightning bug a man a cuss,
three shanties a city, Let every mar

when he isn't asleep, and when dozer
men are killed it is literally mo mur

Cure for Meningitis.

AMichigan correspondent pronounces
what is known as the cerebro-spinal
meningitis, now prevailing so exten.
tensively and fatally in many parts OF
tie country, as the same epidemic
which ragged in Michigan about twenty.
five years ago to such an extent that il
actually broke up the Legislature and
carried to the grave every one whom il
attacked, until the "old-fashioned
hemlock sweats were adopted" after
which every case was saved. He says
Our people sent about twenty-five miles
distant and procured hemlock boughs,
and they sent for it from all parts Of
the State. There was company called
the Hook and Ladder Company, and
for weeks did nothing else night or day
but go from house to house giving
hemlock sweats, and it never failed tc
save every case. Thorough sweats
might do, but there is no mistake
about hemlock sweats being specific.

Ministers, series of resolutions were
adopted. Among them was the follow

of old that the immersion of the believer
in water, in the name of the Father,

That baptism is essential to member

SETTLING THINas.-A small boy got
another boy, somewhat smaller than
himself, down on the ground the other
day, and got hold of both his ears,
placing his knee in the small of the
boys back, and asked him, in very
persuasive manner, if he would give
him that white alley of his'n. The boy
replied in the affirmative. How easy il
is is to settle things when one goes
about IT in the right way.
