Yesterday, says the Pittsburgh Leader,
on the train which leaves East Liberty
shortly after eleven o'clock, was rather

dusky traveller until the conductor came
into the car and stated to an acquaint-
ance:

Bailey who died at Homework"
The comments were few, but there was
an immediate scramble among those seat
ed nearest to the nurse, while the more
timid retreated to the platform and held
an Indignation meeting This proceed
ing aroused the ire of the colored person,
who took it exceedingly i'll that he should
be Stunned by his fellow travellers be-
cause of his vocation, and he alighted
from the car upon its arrival at the depot
with il-disguised expressions of disgust.
But he was heard from again. Later
in the day it was alleged that while en-
ployed at the house Of Mr.. Bailey he had
purloined several articles of jewelry, and,
an information having been made against
him before Deputy Mayor Bradley, two
minions of the law seized upon the col
ored person and proceeded in very un-
ceremOniOus style to hustle him before the
tribunal. When nearing the magistrates
office thought occurred to the prisoner,
and he suggested that it would not, per-
haps, be the correct thing for him to enter
the justice shop.
"Why9" queried one of the officials,
giving the prisoner an extra boost.
"'Cos Use smallpox nuss, boss. OATS

simultaneously with this statement
one constable fell off one side, while the
other dug rapidly away from the other,
and the prisoner found himself a free
man. Not knowing very we'll what to do
under the circumstances, the colored per-
son meandered into the Office and pro-
ceeded to argue his own case with the
magistrate in very friendly and conf
Dental manner. AS soon as the justice
dispenser discovered who and what his
visitor was he retreated to the back part
of his Office, and, with an expressive ges-
ture, howled:
"Git!"
"But, boss, de laws got me whar my
hairs short. What are you gwyne to do

Old Times.


There's beautiful song on the slumberous
air
That drifts through the valley of dreams;
1t comes from cline where the roses were,
And a tuneful heart and bright brown hair
That waved in the morning beams.
Soft eyes of azure, and eyes of brown,
And snow-white foreheads are there;
A glimmering cross and glittering crown,
A thorny bed and couch of down,
Lost hopes and leaflets of prayer.
rosy leaf in a dimpled hand,
ring and plighted vow;
Three golden rings on a broken hand,
A tiny track on the snow-white sand,
A tear and sinless brow.
There's tincture of grief in the beautiful
song
That sobs on the summer air,
And loneliness felt in the festive throng
Sinks down in the soul as it trembes along
From cline where the roses are
We heard it first at the dawn of the day,
And it mingled with matin Chimes
But years have distanced the beautiful lay,
And its melody foweth from far away,
And we call it now "Old Times"
-Tnsley's Mdgazine.

may be wickedly separated. Another
instant the sharp blade fell, and her freed
spirit was held close to her husbands in
that beautiful world fairer than poets
have ever dreamed. And, as the floods
of glory strengthened, expanded, and re-
joiced her soul, she understood why and
how it was that her earthly sufferings
were necessary to intensity her bliss in
heaven. -G0dey's Lady's Book.

Educated Men.

Beyond the calculation of mere dollars
and cents, it may Le regarded as an
axiom that where the masses are edu-
Gated, there will be nation of patriots,
strongly devoted to the principles of
civil liberty and observant OF the laws of
a stable government. Such men build
up and do not tear down. One thorough
ly educated man exerts an influence over
an entire neighborhood, sometimes
throughout the State and nation; but the
influence of well-directed college is
much more extensive and much more
permanent. The latter is perennial
fountain, always pouring forth living
stream of moral and intellectual mission
aries. Generation after generation may
pass away, but the college never dies.
Our national colleges, fitted for their
work, are not servile copies of
previously existing institutions, whether
at home or abroad; but, though different,
are intended to be in the progress Of
time not inferior in character aud COM
pleteness to any in the world-capable
of continuous and healthy growth, and
in entire harmony with the wants and
sentiments of the American people and
of the age. They will tend to produce
unity, amity aud equality among States
widely separated, but going hand in
hand to the end Of time. They will
make perpetual contribution to the
political strength and the intellectual
stamina of our country, which is to be
forever governed by the people; and the
great question now to be solved is
whether it shall be well-governed by an
educated, vigorous and virtuous people,
or be dragged down by the preponder-
ance of illiterate and laundering imbe-
cility, as the conspicuous wreck of the
last vain hope Of mankind.-Senat0r
Morrill,, in U. s. Senate.

Thirty years ago, in California, men

anu suuucHly, H6Tuly IcAHAtuS WHot
they did they screamed, Live the
queen! live the queen"
The effect of Marie AntOinette's hero
ism was of short duration on, these bru-
tai creatures. They demanded that Louis
XVI. should return with them to the
city. The faithful wife would not for a
moment forsake her husband in his peril.
She accompanied him with her children.
Thirty thousand creatures surrounded their
carriage-human animals, incomparably
more cruel aud bloodthirsty than hungry
wolves. Their fierce eyes CLEANED with
malignity; a demoniac' expression was
on their hardened visages; their coarse,
irregular features grew every moment
more distorted; they were like band of
fiends let loose from the internal regions.
And these creatures wore the forms of
men and women. They sang obscene
songs to insult the queen, and their
choruses were maniacal laughter, more
appalling than the yells of wild beasts
could be. They shrieked, they howled,
they murdered the friends of the royal
couple, and held the CHASTITY heads on
pixies before the windows of the imperial
carriage. The brave queen sat close beside
her husband, her boy on her knee, and
with calm voice soothed his childish
terrors.
During the two succeeding years these
royal persons were but little more than
captives in the Tuileries and st. Cloud.

AYERS CATHART1c PILLS are the best of
all purgatives for family use. They are the
product Of long, laborious, and successful
chemical investigation, and their e~xtensive
use, by Physicians in their practice, and by

and most effectual purgative Pill that medi.

table no harm can arise from their use. In
intrinsic value and curative powers no othe,
Pills can be compared with them. and every
person, knowing their virtues, will employ
them, when needed. They keep the system
in perfect order, and maintain in healthy
action the whole machinery of life. Mild
searching and effectual, they are specially
adapted to the needs of the digestive appa'

Horse Thief whipped and Arrssted.


A horse thief, calling himself Quintet,
but whose real name is Frank Marion,
was captured by the citizens residing
near Cuba on Thursday last. That night
they took him out and gave him sixty
n lashes. He was brought to this city
yesterday, and was committed to jail.
Marion was with the two horse thieves
the Pitman brothers, who we're arrested
in this city some days ago, and he con-
fessed that he belonged to the same gang
that has been stealing horses and mules
in this State and in Mississippi for some
time past, aud whose line Of operations
extends from Kentucky into central Mis-
sissippi. Marion is a young man; he
was born in this city, but before the war
removed with his parents TO Iowa. he
was rather pleased at being brought to
this city and placed 10 Jail, because he
expected to be lynched every hour by the
indignant citizens of the Fourth civil
district who reside near Cuba.
