Jennie Lind M Ninxura.

Captain Thompson, of the Mag
ara Falls, has been telling Eli Per-
kins about Jenny Lind's visit to
the Falls, in which the great artists
fervent piety is manifested. The
captain made Jenny's acquaintance
when he commanded Mississippi
steamer, and on the singers visit
ing Niagara and learning that the
captain resided there, asked him
to chaperone her about the points
OF interest, and SO he says: 81
took her to see 'em. And oh, what
soul she had. When she saw the
rapids above the Falls, the timid
woman tremblod, put her hand to
her brow and said: I thank God
for this As we passed on to Goat
Island" continued the captain,
"the peple followed in crowds, and
Jenny said: what are they all
looking at, captainp looking at
you, Miss Lind said l; you are
one Of Gods wonders, too Its a
shame she said, 'for all these
crowds to be looking at me, when
the great Creator is all around

island and stood on the point where
Terrapin tower used to overlook
the Horseshoe Fall and the boiling
cauldron beneath, Jenny was trans
fixed with amazement. / had her

she dropped on her knees. She

unbeliever in the world, to let his

fore her-let him come and see the
power and majesty of the AL
mighty's work. l tell you," said
the captain, wiping his bronzed
forehead with a blue bandaus,
"this Swede girl has the biggest
soul In her of any woman I've ever
pointed out the Horseshoe Fall to
my eyes if she hasn't. To
show it," continued the captain,
"didn't she go and marry that

The Ruby Ring.

Prudence Holmes sat alone in
the wide, shady kitchen, busily en-
gagged in picking over whortleber-
ries. Without, the golden sunshine
of an August afternoon bathed the
green fields and dusty road that
wound away to the village, and
touched with rich color the nastur-
tiums and sweet peas and greaniums
and zinnis in the tiny garden, and
the heavy Virginia creeper that
climbed and blossomed above the
door. Prudence made pretty
picture as she sat on low cricket
with a big calico apron spread over
her blue sprigged muslin dress to
defend it from the stains that had
soiled her little brown hands. She
was petite, daintily-rounded maid
en-, of eighteen, with great dark
eyes and glossy curls shadowing a
fair brow and cheeks that had q
touch of wild-rose bloom upon them.
The kitchen to,-such pretty pic
ture, with its well-scoured floor
and dresser, its asparagus-topped
clock, its shining stove, with
punches of herbs hung behind, and
the great bouquet of vivid cardinal
flowers set on the snowy table,
The kitchen was perfectly still,
save the buzz of the flies and the
tick OF the clock and outside, the
crickets and locusts alone disturbed
the silence. Prudence believed that
every one in the house was asleep
but herself, and and yawned some
what YEARLY, as she tossed over
the berries, finishing the yawn with
a bit of soliloquy uttered half aloud
"Oh dear, this having summer
boarders isn't very NICE"
"Miss Prudence" said voice in
the doorway SO suddenly that Pru-
dence nearly upset her berries in
her surprise.
"Oh, Mr.. Wentworth, is it you 2

to pick up few berries that hat

''The Penny &c Meant to Gi'e."

There's funny tale of II stingy man,
Who was none to good, but might have beer
worse,
Who went TO church on Sunday night
And carried along his well-fillod purse.
When the sexton came with his begging plate
The church was but dim with the candles light
The stingy man fumbled all through his purse,
And chose coin by touch not sight.
It's an odd thing now that guineas should be
So like unto pennies in shape and size.
'I'll give penny" the stingy man said;
1.-The poor must not gift of pennies despise."
The penny fell down with a clatter and ring,
And back in the seat leaned the stingy man;
"rhe world is SO full Of the poor" he thought,
AZ can't help them ALL give what cam"
Ha, hai how the sexton smiled, to be sure,
To see the gold guinea fall in the plate
Ha, ha how the stingy mans heart wPs wrung,
Perceiving his blunder but just TO late!
"No matter" he said "in tho Lords accoun.
That guinea of gold is set down TO me;
They lend to him who give to the poor,
1t will not 80 bad an investment be-"
",Sa, ma, mon," the chuckling sexton cried out;
"The lord is ma cheated-he kens thee well;
He knew IL only By accident
That out o. thy fingers the guinea fell.
"IIe keeps an account. na doubt, for the pair;
But in that account he'll set down to the
Nu mair o. that golden guinea, my mon,
Than the one bare penny ye mean TO gle +"
There's a comfort, too, In the little tale
A serious side Us well as joke;
A comfort for all the generous poor
In the ccmical words that the. sexton spoke -
A comfort TO think that the good Lord knows
How generous we really desire tobe,
And will give us credit in his account
For all the nrcmisea We long ..to gle"

Seven Deadly Sins and no Sal
vatiOu.

1.-Refusing TO take q newspa-
per.
2.-Taking newspapers and not
paying for them.
3.-Not advertising in the paper.
4.-Smoking in and prying into
the secrets of the sauctum.
5.-Making the printing Office
loafing place.
6.-Reading the manuscript in
the compositor's hands.
7.-Sending abusive letters to
the editor.
For the first and second offenses
no absolution can be granted. The
fourth is objectionable. To the
balance especially the seventh, dis
pensation can be obtained by spe-
cial agreement.

berries with ungraceful dexterity
"Yes, it is /, of course. Have yor
forgotten your promise to go after
lilies with me this afternoon z"
"Oh but I don't say this after
noon, you know; only some after
noon this week." responded Pru
dence demurely.
"Well, we'll call it this afternoon
won't we 2" was the persuasive re.
joinder, as the straw hat was tossed
on a chair.
81 can't; I've got these berries
to pick over"
"I'll help you. Lend me hall
that apron, and we'll have them
done in a trice."
"But / shall have supper to get
Mothers away and there are bis
cults to make" insisted Prudence,
turning her face to hide O smile
that would curve her lips.
"Never mind that" responded
Mr.. Abbott Wentworth, bringing
a chair to her side. "Tea's at six,
isn't it? and it's half-past two
Well be back by five, without fail,
and have time to get half the lilies
in the river" And he began to
assort q handful of berries with
much earnestness.
"W-e-l-l," assented Prudence,
after a pause for consideration and
a glance at the clock, 81 can go for
a little while, perhaps. Oh ! don't
stain your coat, Mr.. Wentworth"
But Mr.. Wentworth was sublime
ly Indifferent to his coat, and worked
with such good will that the ber-
ries were soon picked over, and
Prudence and himself on the way
to the river. Five minutes later,
Prudence, with her draperies daint-
ily bestowed around her, was seated
in the stern of little boat, which,
propelled by Mr.. Wentworth's prac-
ticed hands, shot swiftly down
stream. Although Mr.. Wentworth
said to Prudence five times within
an hour that it was lovely day,
and although Prudence assented
every time, / hardly think they
appreciated the beauty around them,
for Prudence was quite absorbed
with the lilies and the reflections
in the water, and Mr.. Wentworth
looked more at his companion than
at the aspects of nature. They
had gatherd enough lilies to satis-
fly them, and Prudence was leaning
backward and idyl trailing one
hand in the water, when she
suddenly uttered a little scream
and sat erect with white cheeks,
from which the color had been
frightened.
ooh |! Ialmost lost 1t. How care
less l am y she exclaimed, replac-
ing an oldfashioned ring, set with
tiny circle of rubies, on her fin
ger.
"Did the water sweep it off your
hand |"

me. Pm always losing it and find
ing it again. wouldn't lose it en-
tirely for the world, because it
used to be grandmother's. She
gave it to me-"
"what a curious old ring il is Y
said Mr.. Wentworth, with interest
"May I look at iti Don't trouble
yourself to take it off," he added
drawing his oars and leaning to
ward his Companion. Prudence al
lowed her tiny brown hand to liz
in his aristocratic white one a mo
ment, then coquettisbly withdrew
it.
"Isn't it prettyi" she inquired
, archly.

OF infamy, of meanness, of fear to do
their duty, we should expect body con-
scious of its own integrity would feel
some indignation at such language. When
these recreant Legislators shall return

apprehend that the men of Coushatta will
meet them at the parish line and inform
them that henceforth there can be neither

will possibly be told that having forfeited

accidental homicide would be no loss to

an escort of federal troops, demanded by
Governor Kellogg for that purpose.

THE SHALLERHORN FAMILY WANT
MILES

The Shallerhorns are very old family,
dating from the time OF Shakespeare,
when. one Of their ancestors was known as
Justice Shallow. This distinguished
jurist, it will be remembered, loaned the
fat Knight Falstaff thousand pounds on
the faith of his having sufficient court in
terest when Prince Hal should be King,
to make Shallow Chief Justice at the very
least. Another branch of the family have
taken the name of Greenhorn. Both are
very numerous.
According to the Picay,r'e, the Shaller-
horns, of Crosse Tete, in this State, have
accepted the right of suffrage and other
privileges, with the understanding that
'forty acres and mule would be added
in compensation in part for their becom-
ing fellow citizens along with the Louis
lana Democracy, with whom they have
been reared. But they have been as I'M
fortunate about the mules as their great
ancestor was about his expected Office, and
two of them have written to Governor
