haste, to five years imprisonment,
and upon leaving the prisoners bench
the convicted felon had vowed to be
revenged.
He had served his time, and upon
his release, in April, 1857, had joined
his mistress, who, during the long
period of his trial and imprisonment,
had remained true to him, and earned
her living with her needle. Upon re-
joining her he had ordered her to oh
tai. work at the house of Judge Mel
son. Her character being unknown,
she had easily done so, and on the
night of the murder she had, after
midnight, riloted the burglar to the
chamber of his victim, and assisted
him to leave the house unnoticed af-
ter the crime had been committed.
This confession proved the death Of
Caroline Travers. She was tried and
and was hanged on the fol-
lowing September. Bayliss had fled
the country on hearing of her arrest
at the inquest, and he was never
again heard Of by the authorities of
st. John.

In ancient times, that is to say, in

Of a strange young woman who has

scriptions Of the sights and sounds
she there finds around her. 1t was of

TIE STREAM or TIME.-The fol-
lowing passage is from sermon
preached by Bishop IIeber to lis par
ishoners a short time before his de-
rarture for India, in 1928: Life
bears us on like the stream of Il NIGH
ty river Our boat glides down the
narrow channels Of the placid MUIR
muring Of the little brook and the
winding of its grassy border. The
trees shed their blossoms over our
young heads; the flowers on the brink
seem to offer themselves to our Young
hands; we are happy in hope, and we
grasp eagerly at the beauties around
us; but the stream hurries on, and
still our hands are empty. Our course
in youth and manhood is along a
wider and deeper flood, and amid OBJ
jects more striking and magnificent
We are animated by the moving pic
ture Of enjoyment and industry which
passes before us; we are excited by
some short-lved success, Or depressed
and rendered miserable by equally
short-lived disappointment. But our
energy and our dependency are both
in vain. The stream bears US on, land
our joys and our griefs are alike left
behind us we may be shipwrecked,
but we cannot anchor; our voyage
may be fastened, but cannot be de-
layel; whether rough or smooth, the
river hastens towards its home, till
the roar of the ocean is in our ears,
and the tossing of His waves is be-
meath our keel, and the lands lessen
from our eyes, and the floods are lift
ed up around us, and the earth loses
sight of us, and we take our last leave
of earth and its inhabitants; and Of
our further voyage there is no witness
but the Infinite and Eternal.

LET US HELP ONE ANoTHER.-This
little sentence should be written on
every heart ond stamped on every
memory. 1t should be the golden
rule not only practiced in every
household, but throughout the world.
By helping one another we not only
remove thorns from the pathway and
anxiety from the mind, but we feel a
sense Of pleasure in our own hearts,
knowing we are doing a duty to a
fellow creature. A helping hand or
an encouraging word, is no loss to US,
yet it is a benefit to others. Who
has not felt the power of this little
sentence? Who has not needed the
encouragement and aid Of a kind
friend? How soothing, when per-
picked with some task that Is mystic
rious and burdensome, to feel gen.
tie hand on the shoulder and to hear
a gentle voice whispering. "Do not
feel discouraged. see your trouble
let me help you" What strength
is inspired, what hope created, what
sweet gratitude is felt, and the great
difficulty is dissolved as dew beneath
the sunshine. Yet let us help one
another by ondeavoring to strengthen
and encourage the weak and lifting
the burden of care from the weary
and oppressed, that life may glide
smoothly on and the lount of bitter
ness yield sweet water; and he,whose
willing hand is ever ready to aid us,
Will reward oar humble endeavors,
and every good deed will be as bread
cast upon the waters to return after
many days" if not to Us, to those we
love.

~ an early LouI OH lHe Aitl ol
May, 1857, the screams of a woman
issuing from an upper chamber of the
residence Of Judge Dewitt Nelson,
on Albert street, st. Johns, New
foundland, called the attention OF the
people of The neighborhood to a sight
that few could look upon without
Shudder.
The screams were uttered by Mrs.
Nelson, and they We're caused by her
awakening from a sound sleep, to find
her person reeking with the life blood
of her murdered husband. A strong
smell Of chIoriform porvadel the
room and gave evidence that the
murder had been deeply pIanned.-
The death blow had been dealt by a
huge bowie knife, the blade of which
still remained wedged to the hiit in
the bosom Of the victim.
1t was broad daylight when Mrs
Nelson awoIe, and the glare Of a
bright sun, through the hall-closed
window blinds, brought ont every ob-

1t is mistaken kindness in moth
ers to excuse their daughters from
all participation in the work of the
house, since it deprives them of ex-

and of habit Of usefulness, highly

this has been the experience Of our
readers, we would advise them, whilst
they honor the disintcrested affection
that has spared them all domestic
labor, to change their habits on leav-

care of their own chambers at least,
if the arrangements of the family do
not render further exertlon in that

was asked her reason for making this
