On Brooklyn, when the sun was low,
To Halliday's did Bowen 60,
To tell all that hedidnt know
OF Beecher's guilt and perjury.
Though fiery Frank was absent. there
Eat Beecher, cross-legged, on chair,
And round the parlor scattered were
Some forty OF the advisory.
Bowen produced and Ward did read
A long and closely written ecreed
Containing all but name, date. deed,
That was asked by the committee.
But Bowen saw a cory sight.
When Ward had read what he did write,
For up jumped brother 4. V. White
And shut the door and turned the key.
The tumult deepens. Shearman's roar
Don't let him go!" the din rings Ger.
Break, Bowen, break, for the back door,
And 'scape from PIymouth's custody.

all the noted curiosities of which travellers

skeletons were found, the bake-ovens, the
wells, the mills for grinding corn, the houses
of the wealthy Pompeiians, from which we
get our ideas of how the ancient Romans
used to have their rooms arranged
We saw the deep ruts in the lava
pavement where the wheels Of chariots used
to pass, and We pretended to step in them

snowy cotton that we found growing above
the unexcavated ruins, to remember the place
by, besides various bits of marble and pumice
stone.
1t was this pumice stone which did the
business for Pompeii, coming Down as it did,
in red hot shower, after the first dose OF

burning and burying all the rest. We are de-

WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Up to Saturday last
planters were very busy finishing planting
cane or planting corn. The stubbie cane had
grown into perfect stand, while plant cane
was coming up nicely, and corn was up in
places, although the light frost which pre-
vailed in some sections on Friday morning Of
last week seemed to turn the plants slightly
red. The cold, hard rain which fell on last
Sunday and the heavy freeze on Tuesday

Babcock says he found Pierrepont's letter
to district attorneys lying open on his desk,
and. believing it was meant for him, he ap.
propriated it and gave it to his attorneys.
But Mr.. Pierrepont says he sent that letter
to the President alone, and Storrs says he
did not have the letter. The conclusion is
irresistible that the President laid the letter
on Babcock's desk for his special use, and if
Storrs did not get it Landaulet Williams did

In the new life of William Goodwin, just
published by Roberts Brothers, it is made
clear that this English novelist was one of the
first to call attention in England to the real
greatness of Cervantes "Don Quixote, which
was not we'll translated in our language be-
tween 1912 and 1909, at which latter date God
win wrote about it.
The success Of the little series Of "Ancient
Classics for English Readers" has induced
the English publishers to project supple
mentary series of eight or ten volumes, of the
same style and price, A resume of Livy will
be the first volume, and will he followed by
Aristotle, Thucydides, Demosthenes, Lucre-
thus, Ovid, Catullus with Tibullus and Pro-
pertius), Anacreon, Pindar, etc.
A pleasant volume on +" House Decorations
for Dwelling Houses" will be published shortly
by Macmillan & Co., with numerous illustra-
tions Of floral designs. 1t was written by Miss

The Garden for English readers, but it has

ina Post that the authors of these delightful
and eminently accurate histories, namely
"Alices Adventures in Wonderland and
" Through the Looking Glass" is about to
publish new work-a story in verse. The
title of the poem is not announced, but we are
enabled to inform the many anxious readers
of "Lewis Carols former books, that there
will be some further account, in this new

Female management.
Rural wOrld,l

Rural World,l
Manyfamilies owe theirprOsperity
fully as much to the fact of female
management as to the knowledge
and activity of the father. The
managing woman is a pearl among
women ; she is one of the prizes in
the great lottery of life, and the
man who draws her may rejoice for
the rest of his days. Better than
riches, she is a fortune in herself
a gold mine, never failing in its
Weld. The woman who is able to
sympathize and carry on smoothly
the work of an ordinary family
illustrates higher sagacity than is
called for by seyen-tenths of the
task done by men. Men take one
trade and work at it /; a mothers
and housekeeper's work requires a
touch from all trades. A man has
his work-hours and his definite
tasks; a woman has work at all
hours and an incessant confusion Of
tasks his work brings the money,
but does not so tax the head,
heart and hands as woman's
work does. Every wife should
know her husbands income.
That knowledge should be
the guide of her conduct. A
clear understanding respecting do
nestle expenses is necessary to the
peace of every dwelling. If it be
little, better is a palmer dinner
where love is than an overloaded
stomach, and hatred Herewith. If
it be ample, let it be enjoyed with
all thankfulness. When the wife,
seeing her duty, has made up her
mind to this, she will brighten her
home with smiles, which make it q
region of perpetual sunshine. A
saving woman at the head of a
family is the best savings bank yet
established, one that receives, de-
posts daily and hourly, with no
costly machinery to manage it in.
The idea of saving is a pleasant
one, and if the women would i'm
bibe it once and adhere to it, before
they are aware Of it they would
lay the foundation for a competent
security for astormy time and rainy
day, but it is an excess in saving
when we deny ourselves of every
thing that will make us comfortable,
our surroundings convenient and
pleasant.
