they were silent.
Then addressing George, l said !:
Yesterday asked you who had com

to tell me because you thought it would

| now wish you to reconsider the sub.
ject. On one side are your parents,
your sohoolmates, the citizens of this
town, school committee, and your
teacher, all deeply interested in every
thing affecting the prosperity of this
school. On the other side is the boy
who, by this act, has shown himself
ready to injure all these. To which
party will you do us you would be done
by?"
After moments pause lie said "To
the first; it was William Brown whe
did it ?"
My triumph, or rather the triumph
OF principle, was complete and the
lesson was as deeply felt by the other
members Of the school as by him for
whom it was specially designed.

MISS ERIsM's CODICIL.

Miss Rebecca Erism, a valetudina-
rian Of sixty, lay dying ut her house in
town. She had held SO tenacious a
grip upon life that it was difficult for
the two young people to realize the end
was 30 near. These two young people
were Gerald Erism, her nephew, and
Miss Luane Williams, her companion
and nurse. ,f
Gerald had seen the young woman
every day for the three yer % she had
lived with his aunt, but never until this
moment had bestowed serious thought
upon her. He. did not even know the
color OF her eyes till his aunt gasped
out sentence that caused him to look
at her attentively. Then he fonnd
them shining luminously in the somber
gloom of the sick chamber. and some
thing therein forbade him to hate her
although the sentence his aunt had
uttered was to the effect that she. had
left Miss Williams all her money.
II you expect to pay for that horse
1or Emily Thorpe to ride with the

1t was then that Gerald looked Mt
Luane; but his aunt suddenly stretched
out her hands to him pleadingly, and
finding gray pallor spreading over
her face, he knelt down by her bedside
and took her cold withercd hand in his
own.

The Shah's Strong Box.

The strong box of the Shah OF Persia
consists of small room 2Ox14 feet.
Here, spread upon carpets, lie Jewels
valued Mt c7,000.000. Chief among
them is the Kainian crown, shaped
like Il flower pot, and topped by nm un-
cut ruby as large as hens egg, and
supposed to have come from Siam.
Near tho crown are two lambskin caps
adorned with splendid aigrettes of
diamonds, and before them lie trays Of
pearl, ruby and emerald necklaces,
and hundreds of rings. A Mr.. East
wick, who is reported to have been
allowed to examine the collection, states
that conspicuous among the gauntlets
and belts covered with pearle and dia.
monds is the Kaianian belt, about a
foot deep, weighing perhaps eighteen
pounds, and one complete mass of
pearls, diamonds, emeraids and rubies.
One or two scabbnrds of swords are
said TO be worth quarter of q million
each. There is also the finest turquoise

and without flaw and m emerald as

went down the stairs chuckling at his
incredulity.
Then Gerald held out his hands to

"I was, going to bo magnanimous

Luane became his wife. Mrs. Grundy
said that he married her to spite Emily

more, and thought of the codicil. But

alone.

It is strange perhaps the
strangest Of all the minds intrica-
cies-the sudden, the instantaneous
manner in which memory, by a sin
gle signal casts wide open the doors
of those dark store houses in which
long passed events have been shut
up for years. That signal be it
a look, tone, an odor, a single
sentence, is the cabalistic word OF
the Arabian tale, at the potent magic
of which the door Of the robber,
Forgetfulness, is cast suddenly wide
open, and all the treasures that
he had concealed are displayed.
Upon the memory of the traveller
rushes up the vision Of his youth
full days-the sport Of boyhood,
the transient cares, the quarrels
soon forgotten, ,ths pains which pass
ed away like summer clouds, the
pure sweet joys of youth and inno-
cence and ignorance Of Ill, that
never return when once passed
away.

A HUNT FOR THE POLE.
HOW THE ENGLISH voYAGERs HOPE TO
REACH IT.

A London letter respecting the
English Arctic expedition gives
these points Of interest:
When the Alert will have travel
led as far northward as she can pos
sibly go, six sledges will be started
in the direction of the long-looked
for goal. Five Of these will contain
eight men each and the remaining
one twelve. Food and other neces
saries for forty days subsistence
will be taken along.
During the first five days the
large sledge will supply all the
others with provisions, and at the
end of that time a depotwill be estab-
ished, at which the large sledge will
deposit all it's rations except what
will suffice to maintain them during
their return to the ship. The five
sledges will continue the trip north
ward for another five days when
second depot will be established, ra-
tions deposited there, and another
Of the sledges return.
The four sledges continue the
journey, and at the expiration Of
five more days a sledge turns back,
and but three proceed. Thus the
party is diminished to the extent
Of one sledge every five days until
one sledge alone is left to proceed,
having on board it's original supply
of forty days rations. In each case
the returning sledge picks up pro-
visions enough at each depot to last
it until it reaches the next. When
the last sledge will have been twen-
ty days out from the last depot
it must return, whether the grand
discovery be then made or not.
If an open sea be encountered
by the explorers two boats, mount
ed on sledges, will be brought into
requisition. They are rugged with
masts and sails, and can be made
use OF, with a favorable wind, in
relieving the strain upon the dogs.
The most dreaded obstacle in
the way Of the sledging parties Will
be the gaunt Polar bear. As many
of the party, however, can hit q
bulls eye with precision, it is ex-
pected they will not fail to hit a
bears when it comes in sight.

For at least ten days Miss Eliza,
the housekeeper, had reported our
little maid, Kitty, in most unusual
state of mind and body. Her shiny
black skin was becoming absolutely
palid-her broad mouth, always
parted in. rather noisy laughter,
was closed, and her full lips tremu
legas,; her appetite was gone entire
ly-she was literally starving her:
self to death. The state of her
mind was most distressing, for her
utter wretchedness was painful to
behold, and her silence as to its
cause something remarkable in one
formerly so communicative. Our
curiosity was considerably excited
by such a phenomenon, and our
wonder was increased by the sud
Et-zT

that our, excellent chambermaid,
whose conduct while with Us had
been unexceptionable, had been ar

fore our village magistrate. What

q half-simple girl about her own
age-sixteen-gave US the desired
information as shepassed the house
weeping bitterly, following in the
wake of the constable who was

This, then, was the explanation

DETECTIVES BLUNDER.

The Virginia City Nev.) E0ening
Chronicle relates this incident
About two months ago a young
lawyer of this city and his newly
acquired wife were returning from
a visit to the bay. Wearied a trife
with constant billing and cooing,
the young husband made some fee
BILE excuse or other and slipped off
to the smoking car to burn a cigar
and think with sigh of the depart
ed bachelor days when he could
spit out of the window over his
boot toes, with none to say: ''Oh,
please, Steve, dear, don't!'
The bride, with rather an injured
expression, was sitting in her palace
Car, musing on the waning ardor
of her Stephen, when she suddenly
discovered that she was the center
Of attraction to the whole car. Two
rough-looHng men were standingin
the aisle, gazing at her closely, and
then referring to a paper which one
held in his hands. Before the as.
tonished and indignant lady could
collect her thoughts, one of the men
took the vacant seat beside her, and
with a knowing wink observed:
"a good get up, Nancy, but it
won't do, You're copped dead to
rights this time, honey"
"sir!" gasped the frightened
LADY shrinking back into the fur
thest corner.
"By the big stick" said the man,
admiringly. 'ENance, you'd ought
to a-gone on the stage. I never
see anything better done. But it
won't do. You've got to come back
with us, Nance, an you stand a
mighty good chance of goin' over
the bay for FIVE at shortest" ."

good deal of style, but if you've ev-

she is. I'd have taken her quietly,

"Oh, this is intolerable," cried
the poor lady, bursting into tears
of indignation and shame. ''Gen-
tlemen, my husband, Mr.. -, is on
the train. Go find him, for Heav-
ems sake!"
There presently appeared about
the wildest-loohng lawyer outside
of Stockton. The detectives grin
ned at the vehement explanations
of the husband, and the other Off
Ger warned him to be quiet, or he
would arrest him for interfering.
Fortunately there were several
Virginians on the train, and they
at once identified the lawyer as
respectable citizen, though the mar
riage being recent, they had not
known the Lady.
The detectives were profuse in
their apologies, and got out of the
car in double quick order, looking
more sheepish than any thief-takers
have any right to look, and swearing
that it was the strongest resem-
blance they had ever seen.
