An Apt Pupil.

/ laughed once, surely, when human
ity should, perhaps, have kept me quiet /;
but then there were score of others
laughed with me, so the burden of the
fault was divided.
On our way from Conway to Center
Harbor, n. H., by stage, we stopped be-
fore small cottage on the outskirts of
Tamworth, from which our driver took
two trunks and two blooming damsels
Or, one of them, the younger, bloomed,
while, in truth, the other seemed pre-
maturely maturing. From their CONVEX
sation, after we had started on our way
again, we discovered that the elder girls
name was Eliza, and the others, Susan.
Eliza had travelled before. She knew the
world. She had worked in the mills at
Great Falls, and had cut her teeth.
Susan had never travelled until now, and
was as unsophiticated as an infant. She
was leaving home for the first time to
try her fortune in the great mills, and
Eliza was her guide and protector.
AS the stage approached Center Har-
Dor, where we were to take dinner before
crossing the lake, Eliza became very ear
nest in instructing her companion as to
how she should behave, especially at the
table and as we pulled up before the
broad piazza of the Senter House, she
concluded her injunctions with
Now mind, Susan, and watch me.
Do just as do, and all will be right"
Seated at the hotel table the polite
waiter came first TO Eliza.
Roast beef and roast turkey, said he.
" Turkey, if you please, said Eliza.
" What part of the fowl would you
like p
1" 1t is perfectly immaterial."
Next he came to Susan.
Roast beef and roast turkey"
" Turkey, if you please" /"
" What part do you prefer
+" l think" answered Susan, with a
confident smile, that will take a piece
Of the in1Dlateridi, too"
Perhaps you can see where the laugh
came in.-NeW York Ledger.

The Man Without a Home.

At Fort Madison, Iowa, there may be
seen going about the streets with the ut
most freedom a gray-haired old man,
the only feature of whose appearance dis
tinguishing him from the city fathers is
the uniform dress of the Penitentiary.
This costume is in strange contrast with
the rest of a not unattractive exterior,
and it brands its wearer as an object of
curiosity TO corner idlers and of dread to
little children. 1t is the mark of Cain,
indicating that the hands which protrude
from it are stained with human blood !;
it is the badge of murderer who escaped
hanging only through technicality of
the law.
The old man is known by the name of
tinctisn of having been the first white
man to commit capital crime within
the borders of Polk county, Iowa.
When last he crossed the county line, in
August, 1854, he was an immigrant in
the prime OF life, journeying westward
with his young wife Ruth, in search of
home. They never found done. In an
evil hour jealousy thrust itself between
them and the husband, in a moment of
madness, struck murderous blow of
which he has never ceased to repent.
A trial in those days and in that spar
sely settled region, though fenced about
with some formalities, was comparatively
rapid and positively decisive. Fouts,
when brought to the bar, was confronted
with an unimpeachable witness, who swore
that she saw him stab his wife again and
again with knife, despite the deponents
entreaties to desist /; and that after his
victim had once escaped from him and
taken refuge in the house of neighbor,
he obtained excess to her there by delib-
crate cunning and deceit. Neither the
deed nor the malice aforethought could
be controverted by the Vaccinations of
counsel. Fouts was convicted of murder
i'll the first degree and sentenced TO be
hanged. Less than fortnight before
the day appointed for his execution, how
ever, a reversal of judgment was OBJ
tanned and a new trial ordered, which re-
suited, III the then cooler state of popu-
lar feeling, in his condemnation to the
Penitentiary for life.
For the first ten or twelve years of his
he lived like the convicts
but little by little the warden came to
have more confidence in him and to allow
him greater liberties, until now he is un-
der no restraint whatever, and transacts
much of the official business of the insti-
tuition both inside and outside its gates
He really needs no watching, for he feels
no temptation to abuse his privileges
With his wife's death the last link that
bound his desires to the world was sew
cred. The half-score of years that fol-
lowed permitted the rest of mankind to
outrun him in the race of life. He is, to
all intents and purposes, dead to social
life the hands of the century-clock have
been turned so far back for him that they
can i'll no manner regain their wonted
place. Persons who know him say that
he is so sensible of his isolation that
nothing would induce him TO forsake the
Penitentiary-not even full pardon
those gray, grim walls, SO repugnant to
the sight of men who have never forfeited
their freedom, encompass the only home
he cares for.--NetO York Post.

EARM-YARD SONG.
BY ]. t. TRowBRIpsE.

over the hill the farm-boy goes;
His shadow lengthens along the land,
giant staff in giant hand;
In the poplar-tree above the spring
The katydid begins to sing;
The early dews are falling;
Into the stone-heap darts the mink,
The swallows skim the rivers brink,
And home TO the woodland hy the crows,
When over the hill the farm-boy goes,
Cheenly calling
"Co', boss CO., boss CO.! CO.! col"
Farther, farther over the hill,
Family calling, calling still
"Co,. boss CO.. boss ! CO.! co
Into the yard the farmer goes,
With greatful heart, at the close Of day;
Harness and chain are hung away;
In the wagon-shed stand yoke and plow;
The straw's in the stack, the hay in the NOV;
The cooling dews are falling;
The friendly sheep his welcome bleat,
The pigs come grunting to his feet
The whinnying mare her master knows,
When into the yard the farmer goes,
His cattle calling
"Co', boss CO., boss . CO.! CO.! co'!o
While still the cowboy, far away,
Goes seeking those that have gone astray-
"Co', boss co. boss CO.! CO."
Now to her task the milkmad goes
The cattle come crowding through the gate,
Lowing pushing. little and great;
About the trough, by the farn-yard pump,
The frolicsome yearlings frisk and Jump
W ME tue pledsdHI ueNs are ldlllllR,
The new milch heifer is quick and shy,
But the old COW waits with tranquil eye;
And the white stream into the bright pail flows,
When TO her task the milknaid goes,
Soothingly calling
% So, boss so. boss so! so sou
The cheefful milkmaid takes her stool,
And sits and milks in the twilight cool,
Saying, $50, SO, boss so! so."
To supper at last the farmer goes;
The apples are pared, the paper read,
The stories are told. then all to bed;
Without the cricket's ceaseless song
Makes shrill the silence all night long;
The heavy dews are falling;
The housewife s hand has turned the lock
Drowsily ticks the kitchen clock
The household sinks 10 deep repose;
But still in sleep the farm-boy goes
Singing, calling
''Co' boss CO. boss CO.! CO.! coy"
And oft the nilkmaid, in her dreams,
Drums in the pail with the flashing streams.
Murmuring, so, boss SOL"

SHocK1Ne.-Speaking of disagreeable
surprises makes me think of the literal
little girl who was told by her prudent
mamma that Mr.. Jenkins was to dine
with them, and that she must be sure not
to make any remarks about his nose.
The unfortunate gentleman had lost that
very important feature, and at dinner the
child stared at him in puzzled way, and
at last said in loud tone to her mother:
"Why, mamma, 1 don't see why you
told me not to say anything about Mr..
Jenkins nose, for he hasn't got any
Christian Union.

The Roof Of the Paris Opera House.

One of the most curious features of
the edifice is the roof, the superfcies of
which is fifteen thousand metres. The
part covering the stage is conspicuously
novel in construction. A heavy rain
storm might have had disastrous effect
on so vast surface. From the ridge to
the edge, the waters are held in check
by two dams, which gently regulates the
flow and directs it into two immense
channels, whence the food rolls into
large gargoyles and harmlessly passes
away.-,Scribner for May.

THE traces of Maximilian's short reign

Even the place in the City of Mexico
which he confscated and presented to
Marshal Bazaine, upon the occasion of
the latter's marriage, is now to become
the site of an American hotel.
