Excuse me have an object in asking
this question"
"Mlle. Sustenno had very few and very
bad teeth"
Ibid she have any enemies here ?"
"Enemies? Yes, monsieur. She was
rather Grabbed and sour, and hence all my
young girls hated her.'
"Did any of the young girls hate her
particularly ?''
LET me see. Yes; AnaIs Lenor and
Sophie Breston had, the other day bitter
quarrel with her. But tell me, Monsieur,
why do you put all these questions to me?"
Because Mile. SustenHe is undoubtedly
the old woman who was found murdered at
ST. Denis three days ago.
''Mun Dieu Mon Dieu ~ cried the lady,
wringing Ter hands.
PLEASE send for the two girls whom you
named last"
The two girls made their appearance.
They were only sixteen, tender, graceful
and handsome.
"What do you know about the murder
, of Mile. Sustenne? ?" said the Commissary
to them.
The girls turned deadly pale. They
made no reply.
"Did you murder her % thundered the
Commissary.
They burst into tears, and confessed
that, having had a violent alteration with
Mile. Susteune, they had beaten her on the
head until she was dead. Then they had
stripped her of her clothes and carried her
in the dead of night to St. Denis.
The two beautiful murderesses were sen
| teuced in few days afterward to u brand
ed On both shoulders with red hot iron,
| then to stand in the pillury for three hours,
| and to be confiued in the House of COrTec

looked for four or five hundred weight of
sea-bass, founders and blacklish. At first
we pulled them up as fast as onr lines
touched bottom ; then we hal not a single
bite. Surprised, we stood up aud looked
around preparatory to changing our
ground. To onr astonisbment the water
was alive with sharks. We commenced
pulling up our anchor, when savage fish
rushed to the bow of the boat and bit the
rops in two. Then we hoisted sail, but the
moment we put the steering oar in the
water several sharks began biting it in
pieces. SO we were compelled to take in
sail, and drift. We were in the midst of a
school of sharks two miles long and half
mile broad. They were of all sizes, from
six feet long to twelve or fourteen. They
swarmed around our boat, and dashed it
third full of water with their tails. We
had TO bail, one with his hat and the other
with the bait pail. Every moment some
big fellow would pnt his nose almost on
our gunwale, while his yellow tiger eve
glared feroCiously at our pale faces. One
shark dashed at the boat and sized one of
tue side planks, and almost shook us out
of our seats. Fortunately his teeth broke
off, and away he went with bleeding Jaw.
In moment he was torn in pieces and
devoured. Then the school turned toward
us again.
We were in despair, and never expected
to see shore. We could not sail, we could
not row, and were drifting out to sea.
! Finally Charley said bill, we are in an
awful muss. Let us see if God will help
u.s." We knelt down, and | prayed for
help, confessed our sins, and promised
amendment and repentance.
We had hardly finished before we saw a
great school of pOrpoises. They hurled
themselves out of the water, jumping
| twenty feet at a bound. Soon we were in
] the midst of them. The sharks started
out to sea, but the porpOises were too
quick. They bit and tore the sharks fear
fully. Sometimes three porpOises would
have hold of one shark. Then they jump
ed out of the water and fell heavily on these
tigers ot the ocean. The hight continued
for miles, an0 we were saved. We Towed
safely to shore, and became professors OI
religion gave mp drinking, swearing. ant
all other vices. We have great respect 70
pOrpnises, and believe that if they we've no
so plentiful, New jersey shore would
swarm with sharks aud then good bye tC

THE TRUE STORY OF RIDING HOOP

Little Red Riding Hood
Patiently biding, stood
Watching ma, hiding good
DaintieS with care
Away in the basket,
Which Riding Hoods task it
Was-cruel to ask it
To granny TO bear.
Then heavily laden
The dear little maiden
so sweetIy arrayed in
Her red hidiog hood
Turned from the highway plain,
Past fields of waving grain,
Walked down the shady lane,
Through the dark wood.
Some how or other
She wished that her mother
HaG sent her big brother
Instead of herself;
Through dark thickcts swishing
How vain was her wishing,
For he was off fishing
The lazy old elf.
Now at her grandmas gate
Why does she hesitate?
There, on the porch, elate,
Sits q Dig tramp.
Now, dear, I'll trouble you;
All of that grub III you
Pass, or I'll double you.
UD,' said the scamp.
Now, then, L can't relate
Half that this tramp he ate;
Details and aggregate
Are too dlarmingj
Apples and SANDWICHES,
Pies in japanned dishes,
Boned turkey, canned, which is
Awful charming.
Brown bread, asparagus,l
Mutton with caper sauce,
Broiled ham, TO taper off,
Cheese and Il waffle;
Fried eggs, tOmatuSes;
Baked fish, pOtatuses;
Good, said he, THAT il is,
Oh, il was awful.
Onions and mutton roast,
Fried trIpe aud buttered toast,
Oysters they suffered most;
Boiled turkey gObler,
Mullins and celery,
Peaches, so "mellery,'
And how this fellow he
Went for plum cObler.
When all the grub was done,
When there was nary crumb,
Silent he rose and glum,
With painful steps he
Walked off, as she'd kicked him,
Forever q victim
To chronic dyspepsia.
