How They Like It.

n PROMINENT auu luuueutlaI ICcpuUilCdu
publicly on the streets, to-day,
his opinion of the Beverage ring and the
pardon of Brown. thusly: 1T seems to me
a waste of money and mockery of justice
to support our courts, pay prosecuting at
torneys, sheriffs, witnesses, juries, travel
ing expenses to Joliet, for building prisons
and paying officers and expenses to sup
port them, and then have our governor
turn thieves, burglars and highwaymen
loose to rob the community as fast as we
can catch them and convict them. 1t is
time we had change in the governors Of
fce."
Not one man has yet dared publicly de-
fend this pardon of Brown, not even the
brokers who get pardons for pay, but
there is one solid and universal feeling Of
indignation towards the governor for re.
leasing him, and towards those who used
a penitentiary thief's, purchased affidavit
to secure his pardon.
How much money have pardon brokers
made in this county for defeating the ends
justice? We are prepared to show that one
young man in this city actually paid one Of
our lawyers one hundred nd fifty dollars
for securing pardon for his brother,-and
that he had to borrow one hundred dollars
of the money. Does political influence
pay? Are the people satisfied to have theil
governor and lot of pardon brokers thus
defeat the ends of justice? The tender
ness exhibited toward criminals, and tn,
ease with which they are pardoned is
premium on crime, and the land is beinI
overrun with thieves, burglars. highwa
robbers. incendiaries. pimps and harlots
| We want courts and juries, and officers
both county and state, who will make them
selves terror to the criminal classes, fo
crime will flourish until we get them.

himself that some one, man, was de scending by a rope from the window o his betrOthed's room. Naturally, as has been stated, of most jealous and sus picious temperament, the sight hac goaded him to madness, and had ren dered him incapable of considering any thing but the widest and most deadly project of revenge.
 It will be easily surmised what his project was, and how he had carried il into execution, Night after night he had taken up his watch outside the Hall waiting for the unknown lover whom he j supposed his betrothed had been faith l less enough to receive. On that fatal 1 evening, when Charles Fetherstone de, scended from his sisters room to seek his sisters lover, and reconcile as he i'm i agined 8 lovers quarrel, he received his death wound from the hand of his oldest and dearest friend.
 The horrors of that night may be imagined, but not described. Robert Allen fed the country and was never heard of again, while Amy had received | shock from which she never again rallied and ill few months, just about the time when she should have entered the church happy bride, she was car ried there to her last resting place. After her death her father closed the Hall, and went on the Continent, where he remained until his death some years afterwards and his son John, who suc- ceeded to the estate, allowed it to remain the ruin his father had suffered it to be- come, and in it's place had built Fether- stone Grange.
 Such was the history which my cousin related to me in his letter in the con- cluding paragraphs he told this much more, which I will give in his own words:
 "As you haI never heard this story of our family, 1 cannot possibly doubt that you have witnessed something supernatural. You could not have i'm agined every detail so exactly as it oc- cured. should tell you also that, upon searching through some family papers, I perceive that the night of your visit to the Hall was exactly the tiftieth anniver- sary of that terrible occurrence. On that night, fifty years before, Charles Fetherstone met his death. For what purpose you have been permitted to sec this vision, or whatever it may be termed, I cannot possibly surmise !; why such q scene should be apparently re-enacted is also beyond my comprehension. Gods ways are inscrutable. send you a portrait of the unfortunate Amy, which I have had ill my possession for q long time, since you say that you would recognize again the face you saw that night. I shall be glad to hear from you again whether it IS the same"
 I looked eagerly at the portrait in closed in his letter; beyond a doubt it was Q likeness of the girl whom I had soen-the same fair face, the same blue eyes, the same golden hair, although the expression of the countenance, of course, was vastly unlike that wild look of horror and dismay which I shall never forget to my dying day.

Intelligent Farming.

There is a class of farmers, says the Practical Fd,n1er, who are living only to grasp more acres. Their farms nor their workmen nor themselves ever do quite enough work. They cannot be satisfied with the income of the farm, nor could they be with that of any other business. But those who understand that the highest object of labor is not simply to make money, but to provide the largest amount of the means of i'm provement and innocent enjoyment the world affords, can make the pursuit of agriculture furnish more luxuries that really contribute to our well being than any other employmentrequ an equal amount of capital. Their farms are not so large as to make slaves of themselves and their sons, and their wives and daughters are not worn out with inces- sant drudgery. Their dooryards blossom with flowers, their tables are supplied with many varieties of well-known de icious fruit, their houses are made cheerful by the influence of books and music, and taste for the pure and in nocent enjoyments of life is developed in their children. Here and there farmers home exemplifes all the contentment and happiness possible to race doomed tc labor and disappointment.

A Noted RhinOcerOS-

The city of Paris has just sustained a serious loss. The great rhinoceros, Pericles, of the Jardin des Plantes, is dead. He has been an inhabitant of the garden for twenty nine years, having been brought from Africa in l845. He was then without name and received that of Pericles in the following manner: The wife of the director of the museum possessed very pretty little Cuban dog which had been presented to her by Queen Amelie, and which bore the classic name in question. This little creature took great fancy to the rhinoceros and would frolic with it by the hour, while the huge beast would permit itself to be parked at and leased with perfect cqul- nimity. One day in moving round the inclosure he trpd upon the dog and crushed it. For two days he refused to eat, and in memory of the accident, and of his repentance, his guardians bestowed upon him the name of his defunct friend. He was twice sentenced to death during the siege, but his life was spared through the intercession of one of the directors. His vast remians were inferred Tn curl ous cemetery which exists at 56 Rue de Buffon, and which is no other than the official burying ground of the Jardln des Plantes. There, among other celebrities, reposes the first giraffe ever sent to Paris, and also the celebrated elephant Chev- rette, which was the gentlest and most intelligent of all the elephants which the Jardin has ever possessed. There is an old keeper still in the service of the museum who has never forgotten Chev- rette and her accomplishments, and is accustomed to relate with tears ill his eyes how nicely she would take bits oof bread out of his mouth and hold his pipe for him while he lighted match. Over seven hundred bodies have been inferred in this strange cemetery.

\ Sensible View of Boys.

Anxious mothers, who cherish the idea that their noisy, apparently reckless, boys are liable at any time to be brought home dead, killed by some accident care lessly incurred, give themselves great deal of unnecessary trouble. Boys are by no means 50 venturesome as is sup posed, and not fools, by any manner of means. A boy will run out ill the street and stand as if he would be run over. But notice, before he stands, he will catch the driver's eye, and he fears no danger. He climbs Q roof, tree, or he walks rafter, but he is sllre-footed, and seldom places himself ill real danger of his life. He takes his chances on slight injury or fall the same as we all do. In the winter boys are unusually timid, and where one is drowned it is rarely from his own fault or venturesomeness. It is more often the result of unforeseen con- tingencies. They throw big stones at each other, but they take care that the stones will fall short of the mark. They jump on wagons, but always from be, hind. In coasting the accident is not often the fault of the lad or the sled. It is often the fault of the needless driver of team. When runaway comes, a boy never tries to stop the team-no, he breaks for shelter. Boys rarely take risks at fires, and boy run over by an engine is almost unheard of. The boy who is run over ill the street is not the street Arab, but the boy with the expen- sive clothes on; the boy just fresh from careful mothers admonitions to be careful; the boy always held in re- straint who has had accident dinned into his ears so continually that when he encounters one he falls victim to lack of presence of mind, and, maybe, the fear of fathers or mothers wrath. So long as boys are boys they are liable to danger from various sources !; but a hair breadth escape is not a calamity. A boys life becomes safer from the moment he is badly frightened by the danger of lOsino it

His unhappy wife is said to be reduced to the utmost destitution. She has two little children, one eighteen months old and the other three months. Her royal relatives offer to support her if she will consent to abandon her hus- band, but, woman-like, she refuses their offers, and is trying to obtain pupils in French and Spanish.
