A Thrilling Scene.

Says q writer It was at military
review, held in Vienna, on the occasion
of the fiftieth anniversary OF the estab-
lishment of the military Order of Maria
Theresa. sg e.... ..
Not far from thirty thousand cavalry
we're in line. A little child-a girl-of
not more than four years, standing in
the front row of spectators, either from
fright or some other cause, rushed out
into the open field just as squadron
the main body. They had made the
detour for the purpose of saluting the
empress, whose carriage was drawn up
in that art of the parade ground.
Down came the flying squadron. charg-
ing at mad gallop-down directly up
on the child. The mother wasparalyzed,
as were others, for there could be no
rescue from the line of spectators. The
empress uttered cry of horror, for the
child's destruction seemed inevitable
and such terrible destruction-the
tramping to death by thousand iron
.hoofs
Directly under the feet of the horses
was the little one-another instant must
seal its doom-when stalwart hussar,
who was in the front line, without slack
ing his speed or loosening his hold,
threw himself over by the side of his
horses neck, seized and lifted the child,
and placed it in safety upon his saddle
bow and this he did without changing
his pace, or breaking the correct align
ment of the squadron.
Ten thousand voices hailed with rap.
u
other thousands applauded when they
knew. Two women there were who
could only sob forth their gratitude in
broken accents--the mother and the
empress.
And a proud and happy moment must
it have been for the hussar when his
emperor, taking from his own breast
the richly enameled cross of the Order
of Maria Theresa, hung it upon the
breast of his brave and gallant trooper.

A Boys Sad Fate,

A boy about thirteen years of age has
for the past three months been working
for lame shoemaker in Detroit, the
Free Press says, but was thrown out of
a job and upon cold world through no
fault of his. The shoemaker sent him
down town to hear " the latest" and the
lad consulted bulletin, and went back
and said:
"Kellogg says that Louisiana is cure
for Hayes by $1,000"
"That defeats Tilden |" said the shoe
maker.
In about an hour he sent the boy
down again. and the lad reported
Wade Hampton carries South Caro-
lina."
"That elects Tilden |" said the old
man.
A third timo the boy was sent for
nows, and this time he reported
"Florida Democratic, New York Re-
publican, and both parties claiming the
election |"
"You are discharged (; you are not re-
liable" |" said the old man, but yet the
lad had closely consulted "latest dis

An Actors Life.

There is much to admire about Bouci-
cault, the dramatic author. says a cor
respondent. OF his real life the public,
although SO much indebted to him, know
but little. He has four children-two
boys and two girls. His eldest son, one
of the victims of the railway collision at
Huntingdon, in England, lies buried
there. The father was deeply attached
to the young man, purchased large
piece of ground in the cemetery and in
81 sed it as garden. There i no tomb,
only the name of the boy "Willie" in
sea shells is inscribed on the lawn among
shrubs and flowers. Mr.. Boucicault,
DESTROYS to make the town of Hunting
don itself monument to his son, offered
to erect in his name any public building
the corporation should consider most
required. The people of the town were
convened to decide the matter, and they
asked that the grammar school should
be rebuilt. Mr.. Boucicault is now rails
ing a noble pile of buildings on the
marketplace of Huntingdon, capable of
accommodating one hundred and fifty
boys. The school will be furnished and
inaugurated on the tenth of May in next
year, his sons birthday. 1t is given to
the citizens of Huntingdon as bequest
from Willie Boucicault, whose portrait
will hang over the head masters desk,
and on the tenth of May in every year,
the pupils will elect among themselves
ne of their number, "not selected for
proficiency in studies," but "for ami
ability, honor, and good nature for,
said MIR. Boucicault, "these were the
qualities that distinguished my deal
boy" The head master will confer on
the elected boy medal, on one side re.
cording the honorable distinction, and
IN the other the words: "With Willie's
love-" The tenth of May will remain 9
whole holiday forever i'll that school.

They were giving "Pique at thea
ter one afternoon lately. Two young
ladies, living at a distance, having to
take the train at an early hour, were
obliged to leave before the representa-
tion was finished. Selecting, as they
thought, a very quiet time in the play,
they were passing down the aisle, when
an actor suddenly appeared on the stage,
and, repeating a part of his role,
exclaimed: "There they go /; the only
two women ever loved. One couldn't
have, and the other 1 can't get."

A Fatal Love.

At a late meeting of the board of
health OF Reading, Pa, the following
statement was made of the manner in
which young man caught the small
pox: He met his sweetheart on the
street in the evening and accompanied
her home. On the front door was red
patch, but she said nothing of any mem
ber of the family having the smallpox.
She concealed the fact from her lover,
and conducted him into the house by a
side door so that he could not see the
red patch on the front door. He caught
the smallpox from the infected house,
aud was the means of communicating
lie disease to his father, who died.

A Base Proposal.

Considering that the mosquitoes are
making their fall raids and are particu-
larly lively just now, my dear" said
Jones to his wife, "don't' you think it
would be. a good idea to bring the baby's
crib into our room9 We might divert
the attention of the voracious insects a
little from ourselves. L hate to be de-
prived of my rest, and baby can sleep
all day, you know" Mrs. Jones went
in search of the fire tongs at once. -.

e Step up to citizen and tell him that
his father and grandfather were lunatics.
and see how quickly he will crook his
elbow. Yet, let that citizen shoot some
body, and he will bless you il you'll
help him prove that all his ancestors
were not only crazy, but the biggest
fools III the neighborhood.

We slIall Know.

When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in splendor on the rills,
We may read loves shining letter
In the rainbow Of the spray !;
We shall know each other better,
When the mists have cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning Of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
II We err IN human blindness,
And forget fiat wa are duet,
II we miss the law OF Kindness,
When we struggle TO be just, H.
(nowy wirgs Of peace shall cover
All the pain that clouds our day,
hen the weary watch is over, ...
And the mists Rave cleared away.
We shall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
the Gawning Of the morning
When the mists have cleared away.
When the silvery mists have yelled us
From the faces Of our own,
Oft we deem their love has failed us,
And we tread our path alone
We should zee them near and truly.
We should trust them day by day,
Neither love nor blame uDduly,
If the mists were cleared away.
We ehall know as we are known,
Never more to walk alone,
In the dawning Of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
When the mists have risen above us,
AS our Father knows his own,
Face to face with them that love us,
We shall know as we are known.
Love, beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe Of day;
Heart to heart we hide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away.
We shall know rs we are known.
Never more to walk alone,
When the day OF light is dawning,
And the m:sts have cleared away.

TRODDEN FLOWERS.
ALFRED TKNNYsoN.

There are some hearts that, like the loving
vine,
Cling to unklndly rocks and ruined towers
Spirits that suffer and do not repine-
Patient and sweet as lowly-trodden flowers
That from the paSser's heel arise,
And bring back odorous breath instead OF
signs.
But there are other hearts that will not feel
The lonely love tnat haunts their eyes and
ears;
That wound fond faith with anger worse than
steel,
And out Of PHYS spring draws idle tears,
Oh Naturei shall 1t ever be thy will
Ill things with good to mingle, good with Ill
WHY should the heavy foot OF sorrow press
The willing heart OF accomplishing love
Meek charity that shriDks not from distress
Gsntleness, 10Th her tyrants to reprove?
Though virtue leap forever and lament,
VIII one hard heart turn TO her and repent?
Why should the reed be broken that will
bend,
And they that dry the tears In others eyes
Feel their own anguish swelling without end,
Their summer darkened with the smoke OF
signs?
Sure, Love 20 some fair region of his own
Will fee at Last and leave Us here alone.
Love weepeth alway-weepeth for the past,
For woes that are, for woes that may bet1de;
Why should not hard ambition weep at last,
Envy, hatred, avarice and pride?
Fate whispers that so low Is your poor lots
They would be rebels; love rebelleth not.

CHILDISH WISDOM.

With y thankful heart and a lowly mind,
And prayed 20 the Author OF every good,

Ana bless His creatures with rRiment and

That every want might find relief,
And pienty for hunger, Joy for grief,

Went forth Ia peace TO in5 pect his farm;

And they wandered on through row and row

The Civ Ticket.

The meeting of citizens at the court
house last night was evidence of spon-
taneous enthusiasm for Mr.. Davenport and
the aldermen on the Democratic ticket.
The night was cold and clustering and the
snow storm had scarcely ceased, the streets
and walks being in no condition for COM
Portable travelling No organized effort
had been made to get out crowd. No
appeals had been made through the pa
pers for people to attend. But they came
from every part of the city and in num-
bers which astonished everybody.
No effort had been made to concentrate
opinion on Mr. Davenport His name had
not been mentioned in THE ARGUS as even
possible candidate-and yet the entire
mass of people were solid, united and en-
thusasiastlc for him, and for all the alder
men on the ticket. 1t was not confined to
Democrats. Politics we're not talked of or
thought Of Large numbers of Republi,
cans were present, cheering as loudly as
any in the house. The people are not
thinking of politics in this contest. They
are thinking Of the debt Of over quarter
Of million dollars ($2Ss, 34S,S0) which
they owe, and of the continued increase of
that debt In consequence of the water
works,-and they mean to make change
ln that water board management.
The scene when Mr.. Davenport came
Into the room and paid his respects to the
people there assembled, and through them
to the whole people of the city, was one o.
widest excitement and enthusiasm. NJ
more earnest cheers were ever heard il
that court house. The men who were there
mean business" and they know how to
bring out a full vote for Bailey Davenport
and every man on the ticket.
The people are to be congratulated Oh
the fitness and excellence of every man OIL
the ticket, and if they want change i.
water works management and an improve
ment in city management generally the,
will elect every man on the ticket.
