Romantic.

A soldier in Cfomwells army, passing
with lis comrades over st. Mary bridge,
Derby, observed a yonng girl lading
water from the river. In the spirit Of
frolic and mischief he threw a large
stone, intending it should startle her by
making a sudden splash. But it struck
her on the head, and made hideous
wound. She fell into the river. The
soldier did not wait to see that she was
rescued. He. galloped on, feeling that
he had been guilty of wanton murder.
The unknown consequences of his folly
preyed upon his mind. His conscience
was alway upbraiding him. Years after,
when discharged from the army, he set
tied down in Derby. He took public
house in Bridgegate, and, after short
acquaintance with woman OF suitable
age, got married Very soon after he
saw his wife combing her hair, and In
qu'red how she got that great scar
which disfigurei one side of her head.
She replied: f'Some wretch OF soldier
VIE once nearly killed her with stone,
but # she ever caught that man she
would pay him off for it, y 1t is not re-
corded how she punished her HUSBAND
When he confessed being her assailant
or how great was his relief when the
haunting thought Of a wanton murder
wes removed from nis mind.

A Little Girps Faith in Santa Claus.

The following letter was received dur
ing the holidays at Chicago toy-store.
The envelope was addressed to Il" Mr..
Santa Claus, Chicago" ETC., and the
Postoffice people sent it to what they
conceived to be its proper destination :
DECEMBER IL.
"DEAR Mr.. SANTA CLAUS: thought
would write to you to let you know [
am not living in Ambrose street this
year, but we are away out in Kansas,
and mamma says you will not want to
come or send your boys so far for fear of
the Indians; but I don't believe they
would hurt you, for they are like the
birds, they have gone south, only they
went ON ponies, and birds few. Doyou
ever 20 and take nice Things to the little
Indian children? Poor little things,
they looked SO tired tied on the ponies.
Willie prays every night that God would
send you out, for there isn't many nice
things here, but mamma says that we
ought to be glad that we are all so we'll,
and that maybe next year you would
come. Kansas is not bit like Chicago.
We live half q LIilefrom Fame postoffice.
1t is not a town. There is only one
house. II you or your boys should
come out, you will find us all in little
new house on the State road, near Fame,
in Greenwood county, Kan. We will
hang up our stockings even if you don t
come. We have to go mile and half

big girl, but she does not talk plain.
She says she hopes God will send Santa

THE TRAVELLER.


The beating blasts, in their winter wrath,
Sweep furious round my trembling form
Deep drifts of snow obstruct my path,
Dark clouds proclaim an approaching storm
hscod-red sun in an angry west
Sinks slowly down to his mighty rest.
And darker shadows will gather soon,
And wilder yet shall the cold winds blow:
Far keener the frost in the cheerless gloom,
And deeper the drifts Of the binding snow.
Oh where, in the darkness of night 80 dread,
Can fainting traveller rest his head?
In the crowded city, where, clear and warm,
Ten thousand cheerful hearths glow bright
20 refuge found from the clustering storm,
No shelter for me from the freezing night.
In vain turn to the PEASANTS door,
am spurned from his threshold. I'm poor I d
poor
Too wide are the rents in my garments old;
Exposed to the frost my feet half bare;
My hands unprotected. and swollen with cold,
And my limbs are benumbed by the chill
damp air.
Oh gracious Heaven is it mine to die
On a stormy night meath wintry sky
How sweet to be laid in early tomb,
In my childhood's hour of peace and mirtf,
o God that this might have been my doom
Long had tasted the bitters of earth!
'Twere joy had disease only bon me away
In the brighter hours Of my younger dayi
With pleasure look to that happy hour,
When my spirit, rescued from pain and strife,
And summoned aloft by that unseen Power,
Will awake il the blaze of glorious life
My spirit exuiting freer shall soar
To the fairer realms of that unknown shorei

An OId.Time Hanging.

Samuel Hulett, whose death at an ad-
vanced age was reported few day ago,
was one of the passengers in the mail
coach between Philadelphia and Reading
in 1880, when the horses were stopped
and the passengers plundered by Wilson,
Porter and Potete, whose arrest and
trial and execution of Porter were causes
of much public feeling at the time. The
mail-cCach was on its way to Reading,
and had reached Turner's lane, a mile OF
two above the built-up portion OF the
city, when the lead horses were suddenly
brought to a stand and a pistol put to
the head of the driver and one or more
of the passengers, to intimidate them
and prevent resistance. Their money
and Jewels were surrendered upon de-
mand, and no violence was used. 1t was
supposed that the bank messenger,
William Miller, who held for many years
the situation of baliff in the United
States District Court, would be in the
coach, but he had been unable to
reach the White Swan Hotel in time to
take passage that morning. Porter and
Wilson were captured in Philadelphia,
but Potete was arrested in Baltimore,
and upon being brought on here con
sented to take the witness stand against
his confederates. Samuel Hulett was a
material witness, and Porter and Wilson
were convicted and sentenced to be
hanged. The robbery of the mail was
then capital offense, when the lives OF
passengers or of any one of them was
put in jeopardy, as WAS done. Wilson
was saved through the intercession OF
influential friends, but Porter expiated
his crime upon the gallows, having Oh
the day of the execution rode upon his
coffin from the Arch street prison to the
hanging ground, not far from the Eastern
Penitentiary. Potete, who had committed
a crime in Baltimore, was taken bach
there and served out term of imprison.
ment. Wilson became an exemplary
citizen, and was living when last hearf
from few years ago--Phalddelphic

In France each inhabitant drinks, on
an average, tnree-quarters of gallon OF
spirits annually. Sudden deaths, the
consequence of drink, are mcst frequent
in those departments III which spirit is
drunk; they are rare where wine only is
consumed. Cases of intoxication, suffi-
cient TO bring the drinker under the no
tice of the law, are also five times more
frequent in the departments which con-
sumo much alcohol than in those in
which wine is consumed. So, also, with
respect to alcoholic delirium; the num-
Der of cases stands in almost direct rela-
ton to the amount of spirit consumed,
and particularly TO the amount of manu-
factured spirit which is taken. Vendee
and Charente present the only excep-
tions to this rule, and there a large
quantity of white wine is taken-almost
as dangerous as brandy.
