Witchcraft,

The supernatural machinery inferwo-
ven with the tragedy Of ''Macbeth'' is
founded on supertit1ous belief whnch
was entertained during Shakespeare s
lifetime by all classes both in England
and Scotland. In a sermon which
Bishop Jewell preached before Eliza
beth, he beseeched her Grace to undeR-
stand that witches and sorcerers had
1narvelously increased within the realm
and that through their malevolence her
Grace's subjects often pinned away even
unto death; their color fading, their
flesh rotting, their speech denied, and
senses obscured. If any adversely,
grief, sickness boss of childreo, of corn,
ca tie, or other possessions happened to
any one, witches were blamsd for it.

cessive anguish by pains Of ler teeth,

The Stray Camel-An Arabian Tale.

aE*@s JOHN G. SAKE. II
4 camel driver, who had lost
His camel CHANGING to accost
A wandering Arab, in the way,
Said, "Sir, my beast has gone astray;
And went. I think, the road you came"
pray" said the stranger, was he lame ?"
g He was, indeed, was the reply; se
stAnd, tell me, had he lost an eye?'
fs"This even SOL" " And one front tooth ?"
In faith you speak the simple TRUTH"
ssAnd for his load, there was a sack
OF honey on the camers back?"
"There was, indeed now tell me, pray,
COZ course, he can't be far away, .E
Just when and where the brute you passed
And was he going slow or fast?'
Faith y said the stranger, on my word,
know no more than I have heard
From your own lips! Nor in my way
Have I observed, for many day,
A camel like the one you claim;
[ swear it in the prophets name !"
The camel driver all in vain ..
Besought the Arab to explain;
He still insisted, as before,
That of the beast he knew no moro
Than from the owner he had heard
Whereat the camel driver. stirred r...
With wrath, expressed his firm belief
This knowing Arab was a thief; ..-.
Then to the Cadi off he went,
And told his tale His honor sent
And brought the stranger into court:
You hear this worthy mans report,
The Cadi said, s'of what occurred;
And still you answer not word,
Save that his beast you never saw.
Allah is great! and law is law!
How know you, then, that he was lame?"
s'By this-that when the camel came
Upon the sand one footprint Jagged,
Which showed one foot the camel dragged"
"'Tis well explained; now tell me why
You said the camel lost an eye?"
by this that nowhere had he crossed
The road to browse the other side;
And, furthermore plainly spied
Where'er his teeth had CHANGED to pass,
A narrow line of standing grass,
Which showed, as clear as truth is truth,
The camel had one missing TOOTH
"And how about the honey?' ''Well-
It surely wasn't hard to tell
The nature of the camels load,
When, gathered all along the road,
A thousand bees" ss.There, that will do"
The Cadi said; ''the case is through,
And you're discharged. But let me hint,

Sad Result OF q Strike.

A very sad affair occurred at Waus-
kuck, Il. L., ear y Saturday morning,
whereby the family of James Gibson
were thrown into deep af1iction. The
family consists Of Mr.. Gibson, his wife
and five children. The father and
three children were weavers in the mill,
and up to the time of the late strike
were earning a good income. The
family were living comfortably, and
laying up portion Of their earnings
for arainy day. Mr.. Gibson, however,
took sides with the strikers, and the
family were thrown out of work, and
their little savings were soon dissipated.
Six weeks of idleness reduced them to
the verge of starvation, and the mother
became well-nigh distracted at the
sight Of her five little ones suffering
for bread. The eldest child, lad
about seventeen, left home and
procured work at Pascoag, and
the father and one of the
other children returned to their
work in the mill at the reduced wages
But prosperity did not return to this
once hanUy home. The little flock was
broken, aud the mothers thoughts
wandered All. II Aef hDSeuG son. ana Sic
longed to hav>e him with her again.
Her mind beca. me unbalanced with
her trials, and about midnight
Friday night she left her bed, passed
into an adjoining room, and attempted
to end her existence by emitting her
throat with razor. She was ,yone but
moment, when she returned to the
bed, and her horror-stricken HI lsbano
saw what she had done, as the blooo
streamed from CHASTITY wound 'hree
inches long in her throat. He imrn, edi
ately summoned assistance, and a doe, @
was sent for who dressed the woun, |
and Saturday she was lying in a critica
condition, regretting the deed, and con
tinually calling for her absent son. The /,
physician thinks, as far as the wounds
are concerned, she is in fair way to
recover, as no important blood-yessels
were severed. The windpipe. how
ever, was entirely divided.

zens of Arbor Hill were aware of a

But he was delightful above all in the
replies he sent to his son
"Never forget that you are French.
poor people. Do not make the inva-
sion too severe"
And it was such advice even to the
end; the admirable exhortation in re-
gard to the proprieties, the politeness
due to woman; true code Of military
honor; of the usage of conquerors.
Mingled with these injunctions were
also some general considerations of poll
cy-the conditions of peace to be i'm
posed upon the vanquished. In this, [
should say, he was not exacting
g The indemnity of the war, and
more. What good will it be to
take their provinces? Can France thus
treat Germany? He dictated this with
a firm voice, and with such an apparent
candor in his words, such beautiful,
patriotic faith, that it was impossible to
listen to him unmoved.
During this time the siege steadily
progressed; but not that of Berlin,
alas 1t was period of intense cold,
bombardment, of epidemics, of famine.
But, thanks to our care, to our efforts,
to the untiring tenderness which in
creased about him, the comfort of the
old man was not for an instant dis

have white bread and fresh meat for
him. There was but little to be had,

than those breakfasts. The
