The Robins Note.

The other morning a bad man was
being conveyed to prison, there to re-
main for long. long years. He walked
the streets with irons on his wrists, and
the glorious sun beaming down upon
him as it kissed the dew from the
leaves of the maple and chestnut. His
eyes had q sullen. vicious lc0k, and
there was something wicked i'm his
very step. The officers halted with
him for moment just where the eye
could trace beautiful street for full
mile, with every green tree holding its
leaves up to be kissed 10y the warm sun.
Just then robin left its nest i'm the
branches above their heads and uttered
its loudest, happiest notes i'm praise of
the glorious morning.
The bad man looked up, then around
him, and such a change came to his
face that the officer was amazed. The
bad look had left the eyes, the hard
lines went away, and there was quiz
vering of the chin as he whispered:
And have got to be shut up from
all this.r
The robin sang again, wildly, softly
and so clear that its notes might he
heard long way off. The bad mans
eyes were full of tears, and he said in a
husky voice:
''iIow could / have been so wicked
with such glad notes as those to ring
in my ears and make my heart tenderln
The man of whom witnesses had said
HE has the heart of tiger" was bro
ken down in one short moment. and he
blushed that men should see the irons
on his wrists, and point him out as a
criminal.

A Fatal yelocipede Ride.

The occupants at 204 West Twen-
tieth street were startled on Satur-
day evening by glimpse of a human
form that passed downward before
the open window. and struck with Il
thud on the brick pavement below.
1t was the body of Irene Johnson, a
beautiful 12-year old daughter of
Widow Mary Johnson, an opposite
neighbor. Shc had fa'ler from the
Hat roof of the adjoining two -and-one
half story building, and near her lay
the wreck of a two-wheeled veloci-
pede.
At the inquest, last evening, scores
of sympathizing neighbors bent over
the casket containing the remains,
and Joined with the coroner in the
verdict OF no one TO blame. No. 20f
Twentieth street is stable, and on
the flat roof of it children have been
in the habit of playing. Irene, who
was a general favorite with them,
started for the roof, and on her
way up, took the velocipede
let by some Of them in tho loft.
Reaching the roof, she carried it to
the highest part, and having mount
ed, started down the incline. Not a
word was uttered as she sped on, but
the little children threw up their
hands i'm despair, and, when she went
over the edge, were so overcome
that they lay down on the roof, and
there remained stupefed.-Ne,c ToTk

A Leap-year Anecdote

The story of the marriage of Lamar
tine, the great French poet and states
man, is one of romantic interest. The
lady was of an English family named
Birch, and very wealthy. She first fell
in love with the poet from reading his
" Meditations Poetiques.' She was
slightly past the bloom of youth, but
still young and fair. She read and re-
read the Meditations," and nursed
the tender sentiment in secret. At
length she saw Lamartine in Genoa,
and her love became part of her very
life. Not long after this she was made
acquainted with the face that the poet
was suffering, even to unhappiness,
from the embarrassed state of his Pc
cuniary affairs. Miss Birch was not
long in deciding upon her course. She
would not allow the happiness of a
lifetime to slip from her if she coald
prevent it. She wrote to the poet a
frank and wOmanly letter, acknowledge
ing her deep interest and profound
respect, and Offering him the bulk of
her fortune, if he were willing 10 ac-
cept it. Lamartine could not but sus-
pect the truth. Deeply touched by her
generosity, he called upon her, and
found her TO be not only fair To look
nj ..f h-sI
ary and artistic education. lie made
an offer of his hand and heart, and wasr
promptly and gladly accepted. and in
after years Alfonso de Lamartine owed
not more to his wifes wealth than to
her sustaining love and inspiring en-
thusiasm.
At Evansville, few days ago, when
Trustee Blend came from dinner he
found in front Of his Office, on the curb
stone, family, consisting Of father.
mother and eight children, the latter
ranging in years from one To eighteen.
The father told Mr.. Blend that they
had walked from one of the nOthern
counties of Illinois, distance of $50
miles. He could get no employment
there and concluded to emlgrate to
some section where he could earn bread
for himself and little ones. They first
went to Indianapolis, where, with the
little money he had, he purchased "A
hand-cart, in which two of the older
boys had trundled the babies to Evans
vile. Mr.. Blend took them to a grocery
and purchased "a ham, some bread,
cheese, and other substantials, and
the party made a hearty meal.
After this they Were given "A pass over
the river, and the old man said to Mr..
Blend. in the gratitude OF his heart:
"No matter where am, if you want me
to help you III swim the river to do
it,"

The old Time Spirit.

john Howe, OF Marlborough, 1775,
quiet farming town, was cobbling at
a pair of shoes which he had promis-
ed should be done within an hour.
when he heard that the British were
marching to Concord. Being man
of his word, he kept at his work, not
withstanding the excitement, and the
departure OF his tOwnsman. He had
just finished his job" when Polly
Smith, the young woman who kept
the house where he boarded, ran into
the shop.
"Johnl Johnl" she cried, with glow
ing cheeks and flashing eyes, you
ought TO have been off to Concord an
hour ago. Every other man in the
.-ilIage has got there by this timel"
'Twouldn't be any use for me to
go, anyhowl haven't got any bul-
lets" said John
Come into the hossc and run
SViilc bitI, Sdfb 4 Oily
Il haven't cot anything to make
EN- Of.
90, I'll find something for you to
make 'em of. " and Polly darted into
the house.
Selling every spoon on the dresser,
she Immediately returned.
Here. take these" she said, "and
if you want more, I'll get 'em for
YOU"
In those days all the spoons in
common use were made Of pewter.
John was soon supplied with balls.
Taking his old gun, he started on the
long walk of fourteen miles, through
the woods to Concord. Whenever he
passed house, the women and chill
dren all cheered him.
Reaching Concord, he found the
British were just starting from what
is now the Agricultural Grounds, on
their retreat to Boston.
a wounded "red-coat," lying be-
side the road, begged John, as he
passed by, to put an end to his
misery.
NO" said John, Il ain't quite a
brute, but I'll just change pieces with
you, and leave you to the women"
Exchanging his old gun for the en-
emy's new musket and ammunition he
joined in the pursuit, and did. good
service on the way TO Charleston
Neck.
John Howe enlisted ut Cambridge
for the war. and fought at Bunker
Hill. He was in most of our impor-
tant battles OF the seven years con-
test, and never came home until the
British sailed for England! Being
hardy, faithful and Jealous, he was
frequently chosen by Washington for
dangerous enterprises. He was one
of the most useful men in the army,
and once saved Washington's life. At
the end Of the war it was Col. Howe
who returned TO Marlborough.
Polly Smith, during these years,
had been spinning, weaving and
knitting for the soldiers. She was
the first person Col. Howe sought.
When, however, he returned her
spoons, they were of silver, and
marked Polly Howe
The descendants of John and Polly
are among the most highly honored
in our Youths COmpdn-
ion.

American Confidence Women.

The american confidence woman"
is ;t'being whose existence abroad is
a shame and n scandal TO her com
patriots. Usually of of some social
standing she contrived by dint OF her
acquaintance with some few of the
respectable members of the Ameri-
can colony to obtain credit from
dressma<ers and hotel keepers, and
to carry on successful warfare
against poverty without the slightest
help from that all.important weapon,
money. OF course there comes to
her "A day OF reckoning and retribu-
ton, whereupOn she either makes
her escape to commence her depre-
dations in a new field, or else con-
trives, by dint Of tears and piteous
proteStations TO extract some pecu-
mary assistance from her fellow -citi-
zens who may chance 10 be sojourn-
ing in the same city as herself. 1t is
hard for an American gentleman to
see "A woman weeping and suffering
without doing something to relieve
her, and so she generally gets COM
scrape; it is only at the second or
third that she generally gets found
out and comes signally TO grief. The
ways and vagaries of these impecu-
nious danes are rather amusing
sometimes. 1t is recorded that one
of them, being in the most abject
depth of poverty, according to her
own showing, was generously accom-
modated with loan of twenty francs
by some soft hearted countryman OF
her own, whereupon she purchased
a pair OF light kid gloves, hired fl
acre, and went out to pay calls. In
another instance one OF these adven-
turous ladies borrowed 600 francs
from gentleman, and on his calling
upon her to reclaim his loan, was in
formed by her that instead of her
having borrowed money from him he
had borrowed it from her, and if he
made any more such claims upon her
she would appeal TO the Consulate
for protection. As he had no evf
dence of the debt in his possession
he was forced to resign himself to
the loss Of the money. Wherever
these women go there there is weep
ing among hotelkeepers and
dressmakers. They are generally
very dashing in style, flying at the
highest game, putting up at the best
hotels, and ordering garments at the
most fashionable establishments. As
the penalty of imprisonment for debt
has been abolished i'm France, they
if acute enough, escape all penalty
for their misdeeds, beyond Temporal
ry annoyance.-Latcy Hooper, i,s cal
dry.

she entered. gracefully leaning on
the arm of Mr. CranstOn, whom she
introduced as her long absent hus-
band. The scene was worthy of the
chisel Of the artist. and produced
emotions Of delight in the minds of
the guests.
Mr. Russell, with true magnanimi-
ty, insisted that the marriage cere-
mony should be repeated, he giving
the bride to her former husband. and
endowing her with the amount which
he intended to settle on her as his
wife, Manhattan Monthly.

A Mixed Family.

The following is told by the Los
Angeles, (Cal) Republican:
There is a family in this town
with nine varieties of children. The
husband and wife have each been
married twice before. and had one
child at each former marriage, which
makes four children, each one having
different parents. The present wife's
former husbands had each been mar
ried before, leaving child by their
former wives, which makes six chill
dren of different parents. The pres
ent husbands former wives had been
previously married, leaving one
child each, making eight Of the diff
feIent parents. The present hus-
band and wife by this marriage have
one child, making nine, all living, and
no two having the same parents

The condensation, by dessication and
other methods, of various kinds Of
foods, both vegetable and animal, has
been SO successfully accomplished of
late that we are not surprised to learn
that condensed eggs are about to enter
the market. and find place Oh the
grocer's price list. The method of
preparing this article is simple enough
consisting, as we learn, of a process
by which the substance of fresh raw
eggs is so dried, or desiccated, as TO re-
moye all the moisture. leaving the nat
ural properties of the egg unimpaired.
The article thus prepared consists of a
dry powder, to which the addition of
water alone is needed to render it fit
for culinary purposes.-A9pleton's

The Massachusetts Silver Mine.

The main shaft of the mine in New
bury, Essex county, IS now sunk TO "a
depth OF over two hundred feet, and
the machinery is adapted for doing
the work of mine of six hundred
feet. From a ton and IA half to four
tons of ore is daily taken out. The
Burleigh steam drills are used. The
prospective value of the mine is
immense. In 1872, its third year, the
yield was $4,000; in 1873, 1855, 900;
1875, 81 100000 Silver bars are now
being made in staid old Newbury-
port.
