A Boy With a Heart.

The other day bit of a boy called at the side door of 8 good-looking farm residence and told such sorrowful story that the lady of the house was not stingy in throwing provisions into his basket. Happening to look into the front yard, after few minutes, she saw the strange boy mixed up with her three or four chil- dren, and she called out:
 Boy, what are you doing here?"
 "Feedin' these half-starved children p he promptly replied.
 "But those are my children !" she in- dignantly exclaimed.
 "Makes no difference to me" he said, as he broke off another piece of cake. "When I find young 'un crying for bread and ready to swear that he hasn't tasted pie for over year, I'm goin' to stop business and brace him up Haven't you got clean waist which l could put on this dirty little boy?"
 She looked up and down to see if any canvassers for the poor heathen were ir sight, and then she grabbed the broom and ran the sympathetic boy out of the yard.

What He Expects.

There lives in, Kentucky, clever gentleman and an excellent lawyer as well, Judge D.. This gentleman was intimate with an old gentleman, Gov ernor R., living in an adjacent coun- ty. Governor R. was and is (for I believe he is still living) what we are 1n the habit of calling an old-t1me Virginia gentleman of stately dignity. We'll, the judge was on visit at the old Gov- ernor's house, and it happened that the Governor took him out riding in his buggy, and that in passing along the turnpike they approached toll-gate, when the judge taking out his purse as if to pay toll, the Governor said, in his stately way, "Tve been long time try ing to make you gentleman to little purpose, see. You must know, Sir, that when gentleman takes gentleman out riding, he does not expect him to pay his passage" The judge putt up his pocket-book and said nothing. After a while they came to gate on the Gov ernor's place, when the Governor stopped the buggy for the young judge to get out and open the gate; but the judge sat still, and was silent. After while, still waiting, the Governor said "Ahem l! ahem p waiting for the judge to move, and then again "Ahem ahem r After good long pause theiudge said, "Gov- ernor R., you must know, Sir, that when gentleman takes gentleman out to ride, he doesn't expect him to work his passage and there the judge had him sure-don't y,u think SOP

A Mad Bull.

A Wisconsin bull has formally entered the lists and challenges any Texan steer in New York to outdo his performances. The scene chosen by him for the display of his prowess was Milwaukee, and the occasion that of funeral While the remains of an esteemed citizen were going to the grave, his Taurine Worship determined to interfere with the solemn procession, aud he did so most effectu- ally. He routed it completely, putting and overturning the mourners' carriage, and causing the mourners to flee in every direction. Then he attacked the hearse, upset it, pushed out the coffin with his horns, and finally attacked the clergy man. He dashed at the pastor with his head lowered and believing furiously. The divine darted down the street and round corner. The quadruped, in hot pursuit, had nearly overtaken the pastor, when he escaped by leaping into an open cellar-way, the bull following and break ing two of his legs. Thus insured against molestation, the remains of the funeral cortege were gradually got to- gether and proceeded, the coffin in an omnibus and the divine in 8 generally disordered condition, to the distant cemetery.

"Be Sure to Burn This."

How many millions of letters have had these words somewhere in them? How many receivers of the letters ever obeyed the injunction The sentiment is not always expressed in the same words. An affectionate missive found in suicides cham Der in Brooklyn a few days ago con- tained the passage, Please do not let these letters lie where any one will come across them" In another the writer merely said, "Please destroy this." But the meaning m all cases is the same. The writer always admits that he has written something which he desires to keep from all eyes but those of the per son addressed. But with what unanimity the receivers of such letters fail to act according to request They are kept just for an hour or day, so that they may be read again, or shown to some particular friend who is sworn to secrecy, or be answered according to the re- mainder of their contents, and enc re- prieve leads to another, until at last they go into the great mass of epistolary cor respondence which sooner or later is brought to light, and always at time when the writer longs for the darkness of Egypt to engulf the lot and himself with them. Every one writes silly let ters sometimes. The editors of the cor respondence of the greatest men find great many notes that should have been
 
 burned, or, better still, have remained unwritten, and frequently these contain the cautionary clause, "Be sure to burn this ;" but they still live. In considera- ton of all the mischief that silly and wicked letters have caused, in spite of warning and beseeching clauses, why not change the method of caution little and have the writer burn his letters in- stead of forwarding them ?

A Jury's Sympathy.

George Hamilton, station agent at Galway, man for twenty-five years in the employ of the railway company and receiving salary of e300 year, was recently arraigned for stealing some vinegar, pickles ana cheese frorn 0 ham per of goods intended for Sir Arthur Guinness's country seat. The pilfering had long been going on at his station, and concealed detectives saw him enter the room noiselessly at o. m., cut the cords of the package, take the articles and refasten the cover, when they arrested him. He begged them for Gods sake to have mercy on his wife and family, and to leave the matter between himself and the manager; but they re- fused to do so. About twenty witnesses were called and the of1ense was fully proved. The Judge, though moved to tears at the thought of the prisoners station and previous character, and the presence of his grown daughters. educa- ted and ladylike women, charged dead against him. Thejury, after being sent back once when they declared they could not agree, brought in verdict of "Not guilty" which the Judge could not refuse but characterized as "mon- strous'

The Electric Light.

"How do you get. it?" was the in- quiry of reporter, of the inventor, Edison, referring to his new electric light, which is to create so great revo- Iution want the answer so that one of your bootblacks can understand what you say"
 Mir. Edison tore 8 fresh chew of to- bacco from Grifin's cake, and was silent for minute. "There are some things" he said, "that seem easily explained, and yet when you attempt an explana- tion you find it extremely difficult to make it. A boy asks you why you are able to talk, and what makes the sound. He may crowd you to point that you could not explain. This steam power and electricity business is perfectly un derstood by scientific men. You say you never studied natural philosophy. never studied it myself, aud yet this steam-power electricity business is per fectly plain to me. will try to explain it. If you beat piece of iron with hammer, the iron becomes hot. What makes it hot? Muscular power. The hammer and the iron is simply ma chine for transferring muscular power to heat. You cannot waste power. If you use certain amount of power to pull weight into the air, what becomes of the power? It is in the weight, and in coming to the ground it will use the power that was exercised in raising it. You wind clock. The power used in winding remains in the spring of the clock, and will be used as the clock runs down. Now here is shaft. You slip a belt over the shaft, and it revolves by steam power. It doesn't take much power to turn the shaft. Now, lay a board upon the shaft, and stand upon the board. It requires extra steam power to turn the shaft. What becomes of this extra power? It goes into heat. How do you know it goes into heat ? Be- cause it sets the board that is pressing it on fire. Very well. Now, if you use this extra power to make electricity in- stead of heat, you make the electric light. As the amount of heat required to burn the board represents the extra power used by the steam engine, so the amount of electricity used to create the light represents the same power. h. stead of 8 board upon shaft or cylinder, you arrange magnets facing, but not touching each other. Their attraction has a tendency to stop the shaft the same as the board, and the power used to force the revolution gen. crates electrictricity in these magnets instead of heat So that your steam power is transformed into electricity, and by the use of simple mechanism this electricity is turned into light. If the conditions are such that the extra steam power can't go off into electricity or light, it will go of in heat, and vice 1 versa n

A Remarkable Career.

Mrs. Elizabeth Adams Hill, who figures in divorce case at Syracuse, N. Y. was formerly @ resident of that city. She is daughter of the late Gen. H. P. Adams, prominent contractor. Her mother is still living in Syracuse, and is highly respected. Miss Adams met Mir. Hill during pleasure excursion on the river St. Lawrence. She fell in love with him at once, and, unknown to her parents, kept up correspondence with him. Hill sailed for China as the agent of New York tea house, and arranged for Miss Adams to come on and marry him. Her parents were in complete ig- norance that she was acquainted with any such person. She persuaded her mother to undertake with her a visit to relatives in the western part of the State. Miss Adams got aboard of westward bound train with her mother, and, mak- ing some excuse, left the train and stepped aboard train bound for New York which was standing in the station. Her parents first supposed that she had been left, but week elapsed before they heard anything from her. One day they received letter from her, dated New York, in which she informed them that she should sail for China that day, and she then told them of her en- gagement to Hill. As this was the first time they had ever heard of such per- son they could not believe her state ment and were utterly overwhelmed with despair. Hill had sent her passage tickets and she embarked for China in 8 sailing vessel. In the China Sea the vessel was wrecked, and Miss Adams and the ships crew were compelled to take to boat. The boat drifted about days, when finally the occupants were rescued in Q famished and exhausted condition aud taken into Chinese port. Miss Adams subsequently joined MT. Hill and was married to him. She has visited her parents in Syracuse twice since her marriage. In 1866 she re- turned to Syracuse, bringing Chinese servants with her. As they were the first Chinamen ever seen in the city, they attracted great deal of attention IS they paraded the streets in their Ori- ental costume. Of late years Mrs. Hill has resided principally in Europe. She is lady of great personal beauty and was the belle of the city when young gill

Mysteries of the Fever.

In simple truth, says letter written at New Orleans, the fever seems to be filled with mysteries. I have heard of a number of nurses who have been attacked in the past two days with the very worst forms of the fever. These nurses, un- derstand, have all had the fever in previous epidemics, which leaves no doubt that they were acclimated. Then there is the tendency to the vornite this is very noticeable. It occurs mostly among children, and many of these cases have recovered. With adults it is nearly always fatal. The imagination no doubt increases the mortality here; the little ones, knowing nothing of the d sease, have no cause to fear this worst of symptoms, and are therefore not likely to be unusually affected by the appear ance of 1t. I heard of one case, man Hho was so dreadfully terrified at the bare thought of the symptom that he was constantly trying to see if he had it i; whan it same he died almost instantly.

Though Shaking Like nm AsDen Lenf

With the chills and fever, the victim of mala- ria may still recover by using the celebrated specific, Hostettes's Stomach Bitters, which not only breaks up the most aggravated at tacks, but prevents their recurrence. It is infinitely preferable to quinine, not only be- cause it does the business far more thorough ly, but also on account of its perfect whole someness and invigorating action upon the entire system. Testimony is concurrent, posi- tive and ample showing the decisive nature of it's effects, and that it is no mere palliative. Physicians concede its excellence, and there is constant influx of communications from persons in every class of society avouching its merits, and bearing witness to its superb ority over other remedies for malarial disease. It is especially popular throughout the West, wherever fever and ague prevails, as it does in many of the fairest and most fertile DOT tions of that vast region.
