THE REAL SECRET.

Twenty clerks in a store, twenty hands
in a printing Office, twenty apprentices in o

expect to do so. One of the clerks will
become a partner. and make a fortune ;
one of the compositors will own q news

one of the apprentices will become o
master builder one of the young villagers
will get a handsome farm, and live like a
patriarch-hut which one is the
lucky individual2 Lucky There is no
luck about it. The thing is almost as
certain as the rule of three. The young

his integrity, who lives clearly and purely.
who devotes his leisure to the acquisition
OF knowledge, who gains friends by deserv-

good fortune, good name, and serene old

Der and build one. Heretofore he had
spent the stormy days like hundreds of
young men in the country, l~ounging about
public places in the village or at some
neighbours. He had formed the habit,
and liked it right well,
"Now," said l, james, if we ever get
anything ahead, the winter consumes
what the INN yields"
"True,' said he, "but what can I do 2"
hesitated a moment, looked at the neatly
secured floor OF our little log cabin, and
snow white recess, aud window curtains,
which, by the way, were pieced out from |
worn out garments.
"Get neighbour Wilson to bring 70
some lumber, get it sawed, and make til
shingles tor half"
"Whero" said he; here in th6e

"Yes, here in the house." said 1. ~
Year after year passed. In our kitchen,

weather, and the children were growing
up enjoying the liberty of making all the

Now for the result of my course: We
have a farm of more than a hundred acres

our house, but shingles are not made in
any of them. Sometimes when husband

One Vt the most melanch holly instan
ccs Of what may he termed Judicial
murder was the case Of Eliza Fenning,
n beautiful girl Of twenty-five, Of more
than usual intelligence for one ef her
class, bright. coquetti-h, but weil.dis.
posed aud amiable. The daughter Of
poor parents, she was employed as
cook In the family Of Mr.. Turner, a
Iaw-stationer. One day the father Of
Mr.. Turner went to his sons house TO
dinner, aud Mrs. Turner ordered Eli
"a to make some yeast dumplings.
When dinner.timc came the three
Turner's sat down to the table and be-
gan to discuss the savory dish. The
dumPlings had scarcely been tasted.
however, when all three were seized
with sharp and agonining pains. The
dish was taken out into the kitchen,
aud there Gadsden, one Of tn, apprcn-
tices. partook Of it, aud also fell vio-
lently III. Eliza herself, next ate of
the dish. and was attacked by the
same strange symptoms. The appren-
tice, King, and Sarah. the maid, who
had dined earlier, did not taste the
dumplings, and were not i'll. A ply
sician was called, who declared that
the sufferers had been poisoned by ar
senic. and the dumplings being exam
ined, poison was discovered therein.
Suspicion fell at once upon Eliza Fen
ming. and she was arrested and ar
raigned on charge Of attempting to
poison the Turner's. From the first
she earnestly protested her innocence.
II was proved that she alone had mix.
ed and made the dumplings; the
circumstantial evidence went to show
that no one else could have had access
to them until they we're served upon
the table. The accused declared that
the poison must have been in the milk
and not in the dumplings. Now the
milk had been brought by Sarah. 1t was
thence inferred that Eliza was trying to
divert suspicion from herself to her fel.
low-servant. The analysis proved
conclusively that the arsenic was in
the dumplings aud not in the milk.
Upon strong circumstnntial evidence
the unfortunate girl was condemned to
death. She was, however, reprieved
for three months, in the hope that
new evidence would transpire to save
her. None WIS forthcoming. She
was executed amid the greatest excite
ment throughout the metropolis; and
ON warm July day she was bourn,
amid the sorrowing faces Of ten thous-
and spectators, and her pail upheld
by six young girls robcd in white,
from her humble home to the grave
yard Of the Founding Hospital. Halt
a century later. the confession of the
real murderer came o.. and h.er in
nocense proved beyond doubt. But
what did it profit her that u city
mourned over her early grave, and
men did iarly justice to her memory

4 Uhole Family IN Hearem.

Barnes: a whole family in Heaven.
Who can picture or describe the ever
lasting joys No one absent. No
n,ner, NOR mo'"-.. 90 - -....s.,..a 81. =
daughter, are away. In the world
below, they were united in faith. and
love, and peace, and joy. In the
morning of the resurrection, they as
cend together. Before the throne they
bow together in united alteration. On
the banks of the river Of life they
walked hand in hand and as family,
have commenced career Of glory
which shall be everlasting. There Is
hereafter to be no more separation in
that family. No one is to lie down on a
bed Of pain. In Heaven never is
that ,amily to move along in the
slow procession. clad in the habili-
mcnts of woe, to consign one of its
members to the tomb. God grant in
his mercy every family may be thus
united"
