SARAH A. SUMMERS is under ar
rest in Des Moines. She was fast
accommodating a fortune, when her
business was interrupted by the po-
lice. She sent to all parts of the
country circulars advertising a sub
stance really composed of white su-
gar alone, but of which she said sit
possesses such powerful and magnet
ic influences that, when handled by
either sex and given to the other,
they Immediately become attracted,
and in short time love the giver,
no matter who they have loved be-
fore. Any lady or gentleman can
gain the love, and wed the one they
love, by using this powder. 1t is
easily given in wine or liquors Of
any kind, or tea, coffee, or any drink
that can be sweetened, as it tastes
and looks like sugar, and can be
given without fear of detection, or
can be given by another person after
following directions. The love you
gain will be true, pure and perma-
nent." In Mrs. Summers's rooms 9
vast number of letters were found
chiefly from girls in seminaries
showing that she had sold a grea
quantity of white sugar at the rate
Of about dollar per half ounce
Some of the purchasers had writer
to say that they had administered thu
powders but without effect.

rs YOUR NOTE GOOD.

A Boston lawyer was called on
short time ago by boy, who inqgir-
ed "if he had any waste paper to
SELL" The lawyer had crisp keen
way Of asking questions, and is,
moreover, methodical man. So
pulling out a large drawer, he ex-
hibited his stock of waste paper.
"Will you give two shilIings for
it9"
The boy looked at the paper
doubtingly for moment, and offer,
cd fifteen pence.
Done 7 said the lawyer, and ] the
paper was quickly transferred to the
bag of the boy, whose eyes sparkled
as he lifted the weighty mass
Not till it was safely slowed away
did he announce that he had L no
money.
NO money How do you expect
to buy papers without money 2
Not prepared to state exactly his
plan of operation, the boy made no
reply.
do you consider your note good ?
asked the lawyer.
'Yes, SIR
very well if you say your note
is good, I'd just as soon have it as
the money, but fit isn't good don't
want it,
The boy affirmed that he consid-
cred it good, whereupon the lawyer
wrote note for fifteen pence, which
the boy signed, and, lifting the bag
of papers, trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow
returned, and, producing the money,
announced that he had come to pay
his note.
'Well, said the lawyer, this is the
first tine l ever knew note to be
taken up the day it was given. A
boy that will do that is entitled to
note and money" and giving him
both, he sent him on his way with
smiling face and happy heart.
The boys note represented his
honor. A boy who thus keeps his
honor bright, however poor he may
be in worldly goods, is an heir to an
inheritance which no riches can buy
the choice promise of God.

CELIA FLAHERTY is a Rochester
girl of SO humorous disposition that
her inclination to play jokes amounts
nearly to mania. She ordered coal
to be sent to persons who did not
want it, despatched anonymous let>
ters to excite the jealousy Of hus>
bands and wives, had collins deliv-
cred at sick folks houses, and had
physicians to make night searches
for imaginary patients. At length
the police resolved to catch her at
her pranks. A detective opened a
correspondence, and begged her to
give him her picture. She sent a
photograph of the back Of her head,
surprising that it could not be recog-
nized but he studied the hair close
~, and then walked the streets 10
dustriously until he saw match for
it in style. Miss Flaherty then had
an experience in jail and a police
court that may be of benefit to her.

The Death Warrant.

The mist of the morning still hung
heavily on the mountain top, and
aboyethe village Of Redcliff, but the
roads which led towards it were
crowded with the varied population
ofthe surrounding country, from far
and near At Alesbury the shops
were closed, the hammer Of the
blacksmith lay upon its anvil, not a
wagon was to be seen in the streets,
azla aSen Che bar Of the tavern was
locked, and the key gone with the
proprietor toward the cliff, as to-
ken of an important era which was
to be without a parallel in the annals
of the place. And save here and
there a solitary head looking through
broken pane, in some closed up
house, with an air Of sad disappoint,
ment, or the cries of a nursing was
heard, betokening that in the gener
al flight it had been left in unskillful
hands, or mayhap here end there
solitary, ragged and illnatured dog,
either seeming or half appeased by
the privilege of holiday granted on
condition Of staying at home, the
whole village presented picture of
desertion and silence, that had forever
been unknown before.
But in proportion as you drew
near the ponderous cliffs, in the
midst of which the little town of
Redcliff was situated, you mingled
again in the thick hustle and motion
Of the world Of men, and women, and
boys and horses, and dogs, and all
living, moving and creeping things
that inhabit the wild district Of Penn
sylvania.
The village was crowded to over
flowing long before the sun had
gained sufficient altitude to throw
its rays upon the deep valley in
which it lay. There the bar of the
inn was crowded and the fumes of
tobacco and whisky, the jingling of
small change, and the perpetual
clamor Of the throng, was sufficient
to rack a brain of common hexibility.
Athe streets there was the old and
parted acquaintance; the bar

Min the walls or the old stone
at the foot of the mountain, a
different scene had been that morn
ing witnessed. There chained to
stake in the miserable dungeon, damp
and scarcely Illuminated by one ray
of light, now lay the emaciated form
of one whose final doom seemed near
at hand. A few hours before his
wife and little daughter had travel
ed one hundred miles to meet him
on the threshold of the grave-they
met, and from that gloomy vault
the song Of praise assembled with
the ascending sun and the jailor, as
he listened to the melodious voices
of the three persons whom he look
ed upon as the most desolate Of all
in the wide world, blended sweetly
together, and chanting the beautiful
hymn

multitude on the scafold, and they ,as
they said, to return by journeys to
their sorrowfuI home; the convict
worn out with sickness and watching
now slept.
His name was John Creel, his
place of residence said to be in Vir-
GINA. He had been taken up while
travelling from the northward to his
home, and tried and convicted at the
country town some distant, for the
murder of a fellow traveller, who
had bore hin company from the
lakes, who was ascertained to have a
large sum Of money with him, who
was found in the room in which be
slept, at a country inn, near Red
cliff, with his throat cut. Creel had
always protested his innocence, de-
clared that the deed was perpetratee
by some one while be was asleep
but the circumstances were agains

found upon him, he was sentenced
to be hung, and was removed to thu

was to take place, the scafold wa

round the building, and frequently
the cries of "bring out the murderer,

A WAR ROMANCE.

War Correspondence Of the London Times.
So on the third Of September be-
gan the advance on Biela The
whole of the force encamped in front
Of Rasgrad marched out, under the
command of Achmet Eyoub, ana
proceeded by various roads in the
direction Of Kacelyevo. Here the
Russians had strongly intrenched
themselves in front of the Kara LON.
On the night of the 9th the right
wing, undcr Faud Pasha, reached
Costanza, while the center, under
Nedjib, occupied Soleric. Means
while, ever since the 31st Of August,
Sabit had been creeping along from
Karabassankoi, over the hills at the
back, and along the valley of the
river past Bekirin Yeuikoi, in the
Same direction. On Thursday, the
9th, a combined attack on Kalcelye-
70 was carried out in excellent style.
The Russians defended themselves
extremely well, and made the most
of the advantages Of their position;
but it was manifest that they we're
outnumbered. The Turks showed
good courage and advanced with
GOODNESS against very heavy artil-
tilery fire, delivered with admirable
precision. The enemy had entrench-
ed themselves in three lines, but the
first was soon carried. The second
was more obstinately contested, and
here occurred, probably, one of the
most extraordinary episodes Of the
war.
AS the Russians began to waver,
and their fire to slacken, as the
Turks were pressing forward with
increased vigor, young Russian Of,
ficer was seen standing just behind
one of the batteries, waving his sword
and boldly encouraging his men to
stand their ground. Over and over
again he rallied the troops who were
pouring out Of the trench, but it was
Of no use it was not in his power
alone to stem the tide Of victory.
