impunity. Every insult to girl una
venged imperils some other girl, who
may be less strong or to whom clrcum-
stances may be less favorable. The
young woman who passes by such an af-
front in silence, conspires against the
safety of her own sex. She should lose
no time before putting the case in the
hands of her next best friend, who, we
grieve to have to assure her, is not the
young woman who sits next to her in
the class and with whom she is 'most
intimate" but the parent, guardian,
teacher or kinsman, who has the judg-
ment and sense IN matters of the world.
Parents are to blame when they per-
nit their sons and daughters to grow up
in such ignorance that their first suspi-
cion of sin is derived from its tempta.
tions. This is the nonsense of igno-
rance, not of virtue.-.SpriRqfeld Re

STRUGGLE WITH A TRAMP.

A short distance from West Troy, in
the town of Watervliet, Albany county,
New York, resides farmer named Ste
ven Thomas, whose family consists of
his wife and only daughter, Carrie
About 4 o'clock on Monday evening of
week before last, Mr.. Thomas and his
wife drove to Troy on some business, in
the old farm wagon, leaving Carrie, who
is about twenty-three years old, to take
care Of the house in their absence, as
she had often done before. About 1880
o'clock tall, lank individual made his
appearance. Miss Thomas thought he
was tramp, and, being alone, refused
him admission. He first tried to coax
her to open the door. and when that was
of no avail, thought to force it, and
threatened to burn the house unless he
he was admitted. He finally crept into
the window in the rear Of the house.
The young woman uttered sharp scream
and the next moment she was knocked
down and the rufian attempted TO out
rage her She struggled bravely and
grasped hold of his beard. The rufian
struck her in the face, and again tried TO
effect his purpose. She seized him by
the hair and he begged for mercy, and.
Notwithstanding his unmerciful treat
ment Of her, she let 90 Of him. He fell
to the floor exhausted for few minutes,
and then pursued the girl, who had fed
out Of the house and succeeded in catch
ing her before she had got out Of the
yard. He beat her until she was insen-
sible. and then left her. In the jostle
with the brave girl aprinter's rule fell
out Of bis pocket. Her father returned
few minutes after, and with his neigh
bors, secured the surrounding country
for the rufian. Miss Thomas had two

bruises on the head and face, in addi-
ton 10 having her clothes nearly all

A SCENE n. Y. POLICE COURT.

A story to be read and remembered by
both old aud young, especially our young
men
"Johnson, the officer says that you
were drunk, and that you haven't drawn
a sober breath for week. How is that,
johnson" the justice asked of the pris-
oner.
''Yer honor" said Johnson. as he
dropped one arm over the rail and lean
ed back heavily on the policeman, who
supported him by the shoulder, Its
true. I've been drunk for a week, as
you say an havn't got word to say
to defend myself I've been in this
court, | guess, hundred times before.
and every time I've asked your honor to
let me off light. But this time ! don't
have no fear You can send me up for
ten days. or you can send me up for ten
years, it's all one now" As he spoke
he brushed away tear with his hat
and when he paused he coughed a dry,
hacking cough. and drew his tattered
coat nearer about his throat. when
went up before" he continued, II al
ways counted the days an the hours till
I'd come off This time III count the
blocks to the Potter's Field. I'm al
most gone, judge"
He paused again, and looked down to
his almost shoeless feet.
when | was little country boy"
he went on, ''my mother used to say to
me Charlie, if you want to be man
never touch liquor an Id answer:
No, mother | never will. If I'd kept
that promise. you an me wouldn't have
been so viii acquainted. judge. If |
could only be boy again for half a
day. If ! could 60 into the old school
house just once more, an see the boys
an girls as | used to see them in the old
days, l could lay right down and die
happy. But it's too late. Send me up
judge. Make it for ten days, or make
it for life. 1t don't make no difference.
One way would be as short as the other.
All ask now is to die alone. I've been
in crowded tcnements for years. If /
can be left alone little while before |
60, I'll drop off contented."
The shoulder of the muddy coat slip
ped from the policeman's hand, and the
used up man fell in heap on the floor.
He was carried to the little room behind
the rail. His temples were bathed and
his wrists were chafed. But it was no
pse. Though his heart still beat, he was
fast going to join his schoolmates who
have crossed the food. The shutters
were bowed and the door closed. He
might die contented for he was left
alone.

A CERTAIN DUTY OF GIRLS.

Since the terrible murder of school
girl in New Hampshire, the other day,
there has been a general and melancholy
acceptance among the papers of the con-
clusion that the traditional freedom of
women in New England has passed
away forever. This is spoken of as
merely an interesting incident of our So
cial experience, but, if it is true, it is a
calamity of vast magnitude. The safe
ty of women on the highways and by
ways, the boast of New England for two
centuries, is the first point to be surren-
dered to the advancing host of crime and
rapine. If this is true, it is a tremend-
Gus admission, and for our part we
should rather it would be said that the
bank vaults of New England were all
open to the robbers than that the safety
of women is generally and seriously i'm
periled.
We must admit, however, the greater
prevalence of crime against the sex, and
we strongly suspect that they must
themselves bear some of the response
bility, not so much in this class of cases
by any tempting forwardness of manner,
as by their neglect to denounce and ex-
pose the first improper solicitation. 1t
is a matter of common notoriety that,
where a clergyman or teacher has be-
trayed the girls entrusted to him, it has
been through gradual approaches and
through solemn iDjunctions of secrecy
imposed upon one victim after another
Many a mother has been made the con-
6dent, years after, of attempts upon her
daughters honor which should have
been exposed and rebuked at the mo-
ment, and nearly every person open to
the confidence of the sex is familiar with
such instances. the woman not infre-
queDtly having preserved at once her
chastity and her silence at the expense
of untold anxiety and distress, even to
the point of heroism. The motive to 81
lence is the dread of scandal. of being
misunderstood or not believed, and Of
occasioniDg some violent revenge upon
the offender, from which the tender
| heart Of woman shrinks. 1t is now ap-
parent that the Langmaid girl had con-
cealed from her parents previous solicit
tations from the man to whose lust she
finally fell a victim.-concealcd propo-
sails which, if revealed, would have saved
her life, but which now only serve as
circumstantial evidence against her mur.
derer. Another motive to concealment
is the threats Of the offending party
But any subjection to this threat only
places the victim more completely in
his power. Exposure alone renders him
impotent and poWerless to injure. con.
cealment but increases his audacity and
bis opportunity by increasing the chance,
of final escape.
We must remind women and girls
that, although they have no votes. they
have strong social aud moral duties t.
perform, and one of the most imperative
of these is the exposure Of crime agains
themselves. Every improper sOIicita
ton passed by leaves breach in thei
own defenses to which the unrebukes

surAnee that he may nos operate Wit

BROOK TROUT.

Mr.. A. Palmer of Boscobel. Wis.
gives the following instructions in trout
culture: 'SThey are easily bred and
grow rapidly, although they don't pro-
duce as much spawn as some fish, yet
sufficient amount to trouble the breeder
to find water to raise the fish in, each
female producing from five to eight hun
dred spawn at two years old and about
double that amount at three years old;
but they cannot be raised to advantage
in any other than spring or brook water.
This may be either hard or soft, but not
largely impregnated with minerals
Trout, in their natural state, prefer ac-
tive water of even temperature, but still
they do we'll in pond water if there is
continual supply of fresh water running
into it, and will stand temperature of
sixty-fye or seventy degrees but water
which runs up to high temperature
will not raise as many trout as that of
more even temperature. The same ap-
plies to still water. They are great con-
sumers of oxygen, and cold water con-
tains more than warm water, and run
ming water more than pond water. In
building ponds we try to have a fall
from one pond to another to carry this
property into the water. We find in
transporting trout that as long as the
cars are moving they need little atten-
ton, but if they stop for short time
the water must be agitated. They are
cEeaply raised. Being cold blooded,
they waste no food in keeping up the
heat of the body, and ponds which have
been built a few years, as well as brooks.
produce large amount of insects and
crustacea, and nearly enough to feed
what trout the water will bear. | am
feeding about fifty thousand, ranging
from two to eighteen inches in length,
the larger proportion small, and they
will not eat beef liver a day. Milk
curds, any lean meat that is fresh. or
other kinds of fish, make good food for
them.

love TO talk. When a boil is under the
skin only it is painful enough until it

but when it is remembered that the siDew
is as much tougher than the skin as a
beef hide is tougher than paper, it Is
easy to see that the pain of boil under

longer to make its way through the
