Tricks of Indian Servants.

Pail Mall Gazette.l
Domestic servants in India OCCASION
ally display an amount Of ingenuity ia
dealing with their employers which
would not discredit their European
brethren. A Calcutta paper relates that
a,khitmatgsr in the employ OF gentle
man in that city, having the other day
completed his month and feeling disiD-
clined TO remain in the service of his
employer, probably because he had
better engagement elsewhere, feigned
illness at the end Of his month and took
leave earlier than usual. The following
morning his employer was waited upon
by host Of people, men and women,
who, claiming relationship with the
dead servant, attlred themselves as If in
mourning, and exhibiting the deepest
emotion aunC IL iced, with tears in their
eyes, the death from cholera OF the uD-
fortunate man, at the same time beg
ging the master TO psy up his "dues,"
which we're urgently required TO defray
funeral expenses. The master, sympa.
ihiZing with their distress, 'psid up"
and even offered to meet the charges az
tsCding the demise, when it was ascer-
tanned that the man reported dead wss
10 perfect health, in good spirits, AID
emp Dyed elsewhere. Toe ruse was dis.
covered oy one Of the native ssrvsD.s

legged deceased, wearing her ornaments,
which, IL his death had been fact, she
would, according to native rites and GER
emonies, be prohibited from using.

THE NEST OF LOVE"

1Oae pleasant day In July, 1864, three
little children, sgst from three 10 five,
we're playing upon the beach, and seeing
q bozt neal got into It. The rising tide
carried the little boat and lis contents
far out to sea. The next moTing fish

covered the boat and in it three little
ones, all soundiy sleeping IN each others
arms. The boat was afCerTard appro-
priStely named "Tne Nest OF Love-"
Sailing alone
Out on the dark and fathomleSs deep
Three little chill ireu, aud all fast as eep;
knowing no fear, for the angels were near,
Guiding the boz in It's onward career
Through uanger III known
How the waves leap.
And the sun went down in The gol leu west,
While the children prattled OF those they
Knowing fg no fear, for the angels were near,
Guiding he bost in us onward ca eer
Through waters so deep.
Through the long night,
They watched the pale moon with those bon
They counted the stars as they peeped from
EnoTiSg no fear, for tie angels were near,
Guiding the boat in its onward career
Till dawSing Of light.
Wearied at last,
These three little children al lay down TO rest
AS calmly as tho on a fond mothers breast;
Knowing no ear, for toe angels were near,
Guiding the boat IN its onward career,
TIL dangers were past.
The wind increased,
Aud the little bark shook like an aspen leaf,
While the children DIRE amed o the coral reef !;
knowing no fear, for the angels we're near,
Guiding the boat in its onward career
Unul the winds ceased.
Early at morn,
A fisherman sailing for home espied
This frail little bark as 1t tossed on the tide,
| And In It, three little bindings who all sweet
ly slept,
| While az gers their vigils over them kept
Until the dawn.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH.
Hermann WeIgeI Falls over a Preci-
pice at Niagara and is Instantly
KiIled-A Warming.

It was a merry excursion party that
left this city Saturday evening, says the
Toledo Blade, for little trip TO natures
greatest wonder, the Falls Of NisgSra.
Mr. Hermann Weigel, accompanied by
his wife, was on the train, and was one
of the happiest OF all that happy party.
The excuTsiOn arrived 10 due time st the
falls, and the party disembafked to take
in the sights. About half past four
O'Clock in the afternoon Mr.. Weigel, his
his wife, and q number Of Others, were
standing on the brow Of the hill, just
above the Clifton house, on the Canada
side. At the point where they were
standing there was a sheer fall OF some
thing more than eighty feet rom the
ground to the river bank. Mr.. Weigel
was standing very close to the edge,
looking down to the river below. His
wife stood Just behind him and had hold
of his coat. She was frightened 1T
the manner he stood, and telling him
not to stand so close to the edge, gently
pulled his coat to have him come back.
Mr.. Weigel replied that she need not be
afraid, he was all right and would not
fall, at the same time giving little jerk
to get his coat out of his wiie's hands.
That jerk was too much; he lest his bal
ance and fell headOng over that fright
ful precipice, striking on the sharp rocks
eighty feet below. For an instant the
little group was dumb. Not 3 thing
could be done, so Mortified were they at
the dreadful calamity. Finally one OF
them mu tered up enough courage to
look over the bark. and he saw the IN
fortunate man lying on the rocky shore
beneath. The news OF the accident
spread like wildlire, and in few min-
utes the bauk was crowded with people.
Just then PatIOlmsn Dan Sullivan, who
was with the party, came up, and hear
ing what had happened, started st once
to get the remains before they were car
ried eff by the water. With the assist
ance Of gentleman who resides at the
falls, Dan started on his dangerous trip
down that precipice, which was as per-
pendicular IS a wall. Here be could put
his foot on q piece of shelving rock,
there he caught little shrub, and once
he dropped about four feet into small
salling, which bent with his weight.
Above him stood the friends with bated
breath, expecting every minute TO ses
him dashed to pieces by the rocks. But
slowly and steadily the intrepid ofhcer,
who knows not what fear is, descended
until he reached the bottom. Only
short distance from the waters edge was
all that remsiued If Hermann Weigle,
who tut q few minutes before was alive
and well. 1t seems that when he fell ne
struck his head upon sharply pointed
stone, which crushed his skull and killed
him instantly. The body was fearfully
bruised and mangled.

tanned position and excellent repute
among his fellow-meD. Eut it seems
his property did not repose on q SUBJ
ct Antial basis, for no msu worthy Oh
public confidence will desert his party
a nd become the tool Of Rsdicallsm. Mr..
Tnomss's treachery is without anything
to redeem il; he has q moib.d craving
for every kird Of Office and power, ana
Il seems he resorts without scrIple to
any chance instrument or expedient
which may give him a Temporary
prospect of getting offi e. Inc
Republicans cannot supper: him without
the most affect qualification, for they
sceuse the Democratic party OF favoring
reputation, and in their two State con-
vsntions held during the past summer
have declared in bold and severe lam
guage against repu iia!ion, and they
koow tina: the policy which Mr.. T1om-
as proposes is nothing tu: open, undis'
guised reputation. Mr.. Thomss's Iec-
ord in the legislature OF Tennessee Is in
strange snd striking contrast with his
present position, SIS will be shown dur
lag the pending canvass. 1t Is usei 9ss
u say that Mr.. Thomas will be over
whelmipgly defeated. No one has the
slightest idea that such man can be
elected governor of Tennessee. He Will
be- taught better. But his apostasy to
the party whose honors he claimed two
wears ago, and his becoming the unWor-
thy instrument of the Radicals, proves
that be has the presumption to think that
there is some chance of success. But he
will be uudeceived, and the Lesson, to
make it impressive, should be given in
the most effyc i've manner. His conduct
shows that he is guided by no principles;
the expedieney OF the moment is his
ONLY rule OF action. He can do no good
to any parry or any cause, and after he
has wrecked himself in this canvass he
will find no political party will own
him. The Republican party of Tennes-
see care nothing for high taxes, as the
burdens of taxation fall upon the white
Democrats. They have declared Tor
maintaining the State credit at all hsz-
ards, and if by any sccidsntthe Rldicals
should triumph in the November State
elections, the rate OF taxation in Ten
nessee would be increased, as 1t has been
in all the southern States under their

a woman, tempest-toSsed,
Reck! less of pleasures cost,
Her song at times shows u dlscord9nt STRAIN
The passionate blood that stirs;
DiscOrd and dreams we're hers,
And noble folly and atoning pain.
She sang the great love-song
Which tumbles all along
The track of lite, and never faints or falls,
And where she moved crowd
Followed, app. aujing loud,
Like children when muca-lovsd master
calls.
She met both want and SIN,
And, wandering, looked within
Those bleaE, sad mansions where the lost
abide.
She touched their haggard brows,
Who spurnedthe marriage vows,
And left them so, less stained than sacrificed
She wove young lovers bands.
Locking their flower-wreathed hands,
Then sent them forth-the wide world all
their home.
We meet them everywhere
SWeethearts and matdens fair
Doomed by her genius evermore to roam.
She wrought both good and i'll,
AS all do-wOrkiDg still
Till on the air asUdden requiem swells:
"In France" the tidings said,
"a woman now lies dead,
While all the land shakes with her funeral
