Who Was CasNbianca!

The school-boy who does not know
and has not acclaimed Mrs. Heman's
poem, beginning "The Boy Stood on
the Burning Deck, has, says the Youths
Companion, certainly missed treasure
and favorite. The history of the "boy"
thus immortalized is not generally
known. Owen Casabianca was native
of Corsica, on which island he was born
in the year 1888. His father was Louis
Casabianca, n distinguished French poll
tician and naval commander, and the
friend of Napoleon, who, you will re-
member, was also Corsican. He was
captain at this time of the Orient,
one of the largest vessels in the French
navy, a magnificent ship of war, carry
ing 1870 guns and 500 hundred seamen.
Of Casabianca's mother we know little,
save that she was a young and beautiful
Corsican lady, and devotedly attached to
her son. Owen was her only child, n
handsome, manly little fellow, with her
beauty in his flushing eyesand dusky hair.
She died while he was yet very young,
and when the green sod was placed
above her grave, the boy left the pleasant
valley under the smiling hills of Corsica
to go with his father, tread and the hard
deck of q war vessel
Mere child as he was, Casabianca soon
grew to love his fathers dangerous call
ing, and became favorite with all on
board. He was made midshipman, and
at the early age of ten years participated
with his father in the battle of the Nile.
The ship caught fire during the action.
Soon after, Capt. Casabianca, the father,
was wounded by musket ball. Not
yet disabled, he was struck in the head
some minutes later by splinter, which
laid him upon the deck insensible. His
gallant son, unconscious of the chieftain's
doom, still held his post at the battery,
where he worked like the hero he was.
He saw the flames raging around him
he saw the ships crew deserving him
one by one, and the boy was urged to
hSo' w iui co'LuEc anu COoIuesS De-
You'd his years, he refused to desert his
post. Worthy son of Louis Casabianca,
he fought on and never abandoned the
Orient till the whole of the immense
vessel was in flames. Then, seeking
refuge on n floating mast, he left the
burning ship behind him. But he was
too late. The final catastrophe came
like the Judgment doom. With an ex-
plosion so tremendous that every ship
felt it to the bottom, the Orient blew up,
and from among the wreck the next
morning was picked up the dead,
mangled body of the young hero whose
story romance and poetry cannot make
more heroic than it was.

reading OF the escape Of Mrs. Sherman,
and the thought struck her that here
was the missing convict. She commune
Gated with the police.
This was on Monday. On Tuesday
morning Detective Waldron raped on
Mrs. Sherman's door. She babe him
come in, and, not suspecting his errnnd,
but surprising he was the "widower,"
entered into conversation. He asked her
II she had heard Of the escape of Mrs.
Sherman, and she said she had not.
"Why," said he, 1t has been in
all the papers, and from what have
read you look n good deal like her. "
"Why, that is Incredible" said she
"My name is Mrs. Moore, and belong
in Philadelphia. The detective asked
her il she was willing to step around to
the station house, and she said: "Certain.
ly." Arrived there she says the chief
questioned her for long time, until she
was utterly bewildered. She remarked
to him that policemen were mighty
smart, and he replied that was their
business, and that he would have 70 lock
her up. Shortly after the detective came
in with napkin ring marked Lydia and
showed it to her. She looked Mt il and
said : Well, what of that There arc
n good many Lydias in the world" She
says she then understood him to say
"Lydia Sherman ?" Thrown off her
guard, she replied "That don't say
Lydia Sherman" 81 didn't say il did,"
remarked the detective, with smile.
A dispatch was Immediately sent to
Warden Hewes, who sent Deputy Martin
off to Providence. The deputy says he
went into the cell with the chief of po-
lice and the detective, and MS soon MS be
set eyes upon the inmate he calculated :
" Caught Mt last !"
Mrs. Sherman expressed herself MS
very glad to get home. She said that
half an hour after her departure she
would have returned if it had been posi-
BILE to do so without discovery. When
Deputy Martin first saw her she begged
him to take her home Immediately.

Runninr After YOur Hat.

There are very few moments in a
mans existence when he experiences so
much ludicrous distress, or meets with
so little charitable commisseration, rs
when he is in pursuit of his own hat. A
vast deal of GOODNESS and peculiar de-
gree of Judgment are requisite in catch
ing hat. A man must not be precipi-
tate, or he runs over 1T he must ntt rush
into the opposite extreme, or he loses it
altogether. The best way is to keep
gently up with the object of pursuit, to
be wary and cautious, to watch your OPP
portunity well, get gradually before it,
then make rapid dive, seize it by the
crown and stick it firmly on your head,
smiling pleasantly all the time, as if you
thought it as good a joke as anybod yelse,

Tired of Life.

An aged German couple in st. Louis,
Mo-, having fallen into great poverty,
determined to commit suicide together.
They were to stand upon a bridge, each
to cut the others throat, when they would
both fall into the river. But at the
critical moment the old lady's courage
failed, and they returned to sleep upon
the floor of the miserable tenem ent, the
furniture of which had been sold. What
is strange is that the old man has disap-
peared, and is supposed to have carried
out his original intention. The wife has
been placed in the poorhouse.

Of prejudice against advertised medicines.

Again, would you refuse 10 insure your house
because the company advertised that II had
paid millions in losses, aud yet had capital Of

Why submit To the nse OF harsh, and perhaps
