Hebert Milford. / held the candle
over his head and saw that he was
sleeping. At that moment I heard
the sound of footsteps behind me, and
turning round saw that it was Mr..
Oliver Milford advancing toward me
with all the ferocity of tiger. A ter
rible struggle ensued, but I was the
younger man of the two, and finally
succeeded in overpowering him, and
in fixing the manacles, with which he
had loaded his poor brother, on his
wrists and feet.
The poor gentleman was convey ed
back to his residence, and was soon
gratified with his daughters presence.
Young Waring was Immediately re-
leased from confinement.
may add that in a month or two
Eliza Milford and Henry Waring were
married. Oliver Milford died after
four years confinement in the State
prison, where he had been condemned
for life. Dorsey escaped. BY some
means he learned that his victim had
been discovered, and at once started
for New York. I need scarcely add
that it was Dorsey and Oliver Milford
who had made the attack on Warning
and placed the watch and purse OF
their prisoner in his pocket for the
purpose of causing him to be suspected
of having murdered the old gentle
man

Postal Cards.

This postal card, says the New York
Tribune, has been a source of more
worry to the postmasters than one
would suppose could have been got out
Of a bit of pasteboard. First, the clerks
were ordered under no circumstances
to read anything but the address, and
then Immediately after were directed
to stop any card of a disreputable ma
ture, though how they were to find that
out without reading it nobody knew.
And then the country postmaster finds
that they give him great deal to do.
The writing is often bad, and he gets
the gossip Of the neighborhood hope
lessly mixed. Occasionally, as we have
heard of postmaster's doing, he calls
in outside assistance to help him un-
tangle some twisted sentence or semi
legible word, The latest thing in postal
cards, however, is however, is the
frankness of a Yankee postmaster, who
ran out from wayside station the other
day, fourishing card and calling out
to lady as she drove up to meet a
lady friend, "You'd better read it! She
amt cOnlin'!"

CHARLEY BACKUs, the minstrel of
the cavernous mouth, followed his
profession for years in the Sandwich
Islands, where the missionaries patron
ize burnt cork. He tells the story that
on returning to the states he accom-
panied his mother to church. A col
lection was taken up for the missions
in the Sandwich Islands, and when the
bag was handed around to him he
dropped fifty cent piece into it. His
mother reprovingly said: Charley,
my son, ten cents would have been suf-
ficient." He consoled the old lady,
however, by the remark: "Never
mind, mother, am going there again,
and it will all come back"

KNOWLEDGE is But WITH THE DEAD.

BY GEORGE MACDONALD RAMSAY MAIR.
truth is gifted to the dead,
OF the living who can know
Self or aim, or joy, or woe? SIS
What is all but wonders spread. -
Ger the path of flowers and strife,
Death and change by men called life,
knowledge is but with the dead a
OF the living who can know, ga
Aught Of the divinity
Of the earth or sky or sea? tet>.g
And are we OF kindred glow?
Only now and then we feel
Heart-deep truths-behold we reel
For of the living who may known?
Vino can tell of what is birth
As to cheer the hungry soul?
What is life, and where is goal?
simultaneously or death,
Who can tell one what is death,
Save fieeting of the breath?
Who knows life or death or birth?
All is life and all is DEATH
Birth eternal-change and shocks,
all is grand paradox.
and we gaze and hold our breath,
Little children here and there, ~
Plucking flowers or weeds and care.
Darkness wraps birth, life and death.
But the human heart is Deep s-
Moments immortalities,
And we strive if we can, seize
Something from the darker sleep.
Thus like rays of stars and night,
Thoughts are born and bless or blight
For the human heart is deep.
Thus men live and know not why, qg9
Aim and strive and nourish weeds
With memories of noble deeds.
Perhapsa hope with such to vie
human seeds plucked from the sheave
Even of death-putting forth leaves
That bloom or snrivel up, but why?

The California farmers have taken
arms against sea of spectators. The
San Francisco wheat combination lock-
ed up gold, Clustered vessels in advance
of their arrival, ran down the price of
wheat and endeavored to bring the
farmers to terms. The sic DOS, non uobis
principle is not popular in the rural dis
tricts. ''Why should we SOW" they
ask, IF spectators and vessel owners
are to reap?" Representatives from
twenty-four counties have met in San
Francisco to discuss the transportation
question and to make tremend aus
effort to battle the wheat ring. Single
handed they were powerless; united
they may win.

Yes, sir, I am perfectly satisfied of
it; so much so, that when some of my
friends advised me to contest the valid
ity of the will, being firmly convinced
that my father really did sign it, I re-
fused most positively. I care nothing
about my fathers wealth, and it is not
