Stories for the Children. By Eleren
!SOphOmOres. These stories for small
children were actually written Us
themes by eleven different students at
Harvard College in the spring of the
present year. They are entertaining,
and very natural, considering by what
class of persons they were written.
f. Grant d. Go. is the singular title of
a capital book for boys of Il dozen years
or 50, who are beginning to have IDEAS
of business. Failure, OF success, is the
question of these beginners, and this
story demonstrates what will lead
to the one, and what to the other. 1t is
written by Rev. Mr.. CLANCY, and pub
lshcd 10y Roberts Brothers.
Under the title of Dress Reform.

An Ingenious Attempt to Break Jail.

An ingenious attempt was recently
made by Allen, the Randolph burglar
to escape from Chelsea Jail.
For il week previous to the occur
renee of which we are about to speak,
whenever Sheriff Dickinson went in to
lock the prisoners into their cells for
the night, he invariably found Allen
sitting in his cell, facing the door, with
IL lamp behind him, and Il newspaper
held up before him, reading. He had
hurt one of his hands, and wore il KID
glove upon it all the time and another
popularity i'll his appearance was Il red
silk handkerchief tied around his head
for night-cap. The officer would al
ways speak To him. he would reply. and
then the door would be locked 50
with the others.
In entering the Jail the officer has
some one-uSually his wife lock
him into the debtors room, sort of
ante-room to the Jail proper, and then
he opens the jail door and visits his
prisoners. He passed into the Jail one
day last week. went to Aliens cell. saw
him sitting as usual, holding the news
paper before his face with the gloved
hand. and the red handkerchief just
visible over the top of the paper. One
LEG was crossed over the opposite knee.
and us he apparently sat absorbed in
reading his paper his foot logged gen
tly up and down. The officer spoke to
him. and asked if all WAS right. He
replied '.all right and the officer lock
ed the door. and proceeded to Piprr's
cell. which is in the upper tier. and di
rcctly over Aliens. The officer thought
] la, l.t Ii. hon
sounded Il little strange. and wondered
why he kept his newspaper up before
his face while speaking. As ne w;IS
about to lock Piper in. the latter asked
him if he would procure him some to-

the money to pay for it. He stepped
inside. and while Piper was getting the
money from his coat pocket he heard
a Slight noise Which caused him to turn

some one passing along the walk. He

completely contnundcd to behold Alien.

Relief for Kansas.

So much has already been said
through the press concerning the rava-
ges of the lOcusts in the west, that i
call for relief needs perhaps little or nc
explanation. There are at least seven
teen counties in Kansas, containing
10000 people, that will require aid.
Some are already entirely destitute, and
others soon will he. Some of these
counties have organized relief commit
tees. and have sent out persons to solic-
it aid. The State has IA central commit
tee, whose headquarters is ut Topeka,
Kansas. The following are the officers
of said committee: Lieut.. Gov. E. s.
Slower, President; Henry King, Sec
Rotary; f. w. Giles, Treasurer.
| would also state that | am in the
Home Missionary field, and regularly
travel over stretch of 80 miles of the
country that has been devastated by
the locusts, and am quite conversaut
with the wants of many of these peo-
pie. There is already Il considerable
amount of suffering, but the most
pinching time is yet to come. The
months of January, February and
March will reveal some pitiful stories,
unless relief is obtained.
Believing that the church is chan
mel through which charities flow and
find their way to worthy objects, the
Congregational Church at Peace, in
Rice County, has undertaken the work
