Ivhat Our Boyx IRE Readtno.

Professor Sumner Of Yale has been ex
aiming the flash story papers so widely
read by boys, and in Scribner for March
gives some earnest words OF warning tc
parents, accompanied by specimens OF
the types described in the stories. Here
is one:
Another type of hero very common in
these stories is the city youth, son Of a
rich father, who does not give his son as
much pocket money as the latter consid.
ers suitable. This constitutes stinginess
on the fathers part, although it might be
considered pardonablc, seeing that
these young men drink champage every
day, treat the crowd generally when they
drink, and play billiards for 500 game
The father, in this class OF stories, is repre-.
resented as secretly vicious and hypocrit.
ically pious. In the specimen of this class
before us the young man is :. discovered
in the Police Court as prisoner, whence
he is remanded to the Tombs. He has
been arrested for collaring big police
man, to prevent him from overtaking a
girl charged with pocket-p1cking. He
lntertered because he Judged from the
girls face that she was innocent. and it is
suggested, for future development in the
story, that she was running away from
insult, and that the cry of "stop thief j
was to get help from the police and others
to seize her.
The hero, who is the son of man worth
five millions, and who is in prison under
an assumed name, now sends for his faith
er's clerk and demands $1,000, saving
that otherwise he will declare his real
name and disgrace his family. He gets
the money. He then sends for notorious
Tombs lawyer, to whom he gives $500.
With this sum his release is easily pro-
cured. He then starts with his cousia to
initiate the latter into life in New York.
They go to thieves college, where they
see young fellow graduated. His part
consists in taking things from the pockets
OF hanging figure, to the garments of
which bells are attached, without causing
the bells to ring. OF this full-paee
illustration is given. The two young men
then go up the Bowery to beer saloon
where the hero sustains his character by
his vulgar familiarity with the girl wait
ers. Next, they hear row in side street.
They find crowd collected watching a
woman who hangs from third story
window, while her husband beats and cuts
her hands to make her fall.

The Death of Robespierre.

The celebrated Jean Lambert Tallien
had formed tender friendship with the
beautiful Madame Cabarus. so celebrated
IN Revolutionary history, but at the peri
Cd IN question mutual .jealosy had inter
rnpted their attachment She was thrown
into prison by order OF Robespierre, and
when it was conceived she had been suf-
tlclently terrified by imprisonment and
the prospect of the guillotine, she was
offered life and liberty if she would be-
tray the councils Of Taliien and enable
his enemies to ruin him. Although her
lover had been faithless and had deserted
her, she refused the offer with indisna.
ton, and with great difficulty had the
following letter conveyed to him: 1.-THE
Minister of Police has announced to me
that tomorrow am to appear at the trib-
unal, that is to say, l am to ascend the
scaifold. dreamt last night that Robes
pierre was no more, and that my prison
doors were opened. A brave man might
have realized my dream, but, thanks to
your notorious cowardice, no one re-
mains who is capable OF its accomplish
ment." Tallien answered merely, BE rs
prudent as shall prove brave, and above
al b, Tranquil"
The next day he hurried 10 the tribu-
nal, and regardless of danger, accused the
miscreant Robespierre in his own!presence.
The cloquencc OF Tallien had always been
commanding and impressive, but on this
occasion it was compared to the impetu-
Gus flowing OF a river whose course had
been prematurely stopped. He portrayed
the vices of Robesp:erre and his compan-
ions, the cruelty and other excuses of
their government, which had deprived
France of her most iliustrious citizens.
Then taking a dagger from his bosom, he
rushed towards the statue Of Brn.us, his
own immortal prototype, and swore that
/! he himself would stab the tyrant to the
heart if his countrymen did not deliver
themselves from their disgraceful bond
age. His language, his action and his
animated eye were irresistible, for they
recalled the Roman hero to the minds Of
the auditors. Robespierre was astounded,
and attempted to defend himself. The
moment was critical. the life OF Tallien,
hung upon thread, but this cloouence
prevailed, and the tribune regained its
lost character. The tyrant was sent to
the scatfold. Madame Babarus and other
intended victims were saved, and the
| reign OF terror was abolished

Teiit<sle Tomatoes.

Where did you get them tomatoeszv
asked an old Long Island iamer, last
summer, of a neighbor whose real estate
yields a product of nil, and on which
there was tomato vine. His basket was
full Of very fine, ripe specimens, which,
he thought he recognized. I. was not the
first time suspicion of his impecunious
neighbours honesty had arisen in his.
mind.
"Where did you get 'em." he asked
again.
Bought em!"
:" All! Let's look at your hands,
With his basket on his arm. he held
out both hands for examination. "What
do you want to look at my hands for?
There amt notin' on 'em." The old
farmer was washing his own hands at the
same time in a tin basin of rain water.
with wooden bowl Of soft soap before
him. No, there amt nothing on
'cm that you can see; but, Elook a here
Set down your baskent, and wash 'em.
It's VERY coolin,' and your face and hands
look hot."n
Som saying, he empticd the ba sin, and
filed it with cold water, pointed to the
soap-dish, and relieved the bearer Of
his basket. The first immersion and tric-
ton Of the hands in the water let the cat
out the bag. The fluid at once turned
green, and grew greener every second, and
at length turned an intense dark green.
Here, Jim, said the farmer to his tow
headed son, take in this basket and
empty it, and bring it out ag'in" Then,
turning to his honest neighbor, he said,
:" You hooked them tomatoes from nv
patch not half an hour ago.
Three or four of the top ones knew in a
minute. Here's your basket" If any
country reader OF the foregoing would
test this discovery Of theft, let him pick
one or two tomatoes next season, seperat-
ing the vines with his naked hand. and
then wash it. There is mysterious some
thing about the plant, perfectly colorless,.
that remains on the hands until water re-
moves it.

THE FIRESIDE.
AN UNcRowNED MARTYR

No outward sign her angelhood revealed
Save that her eyes were wend.ous mild and
fair = :
The aureole round her forehead was concealed
BY the pale glory OF her shining hair.
She bore the yoke and wore the name Of wife
To one who made her tenderness and grace
A mere convenience Of his narrow life.
And put seraph in a servants place.
She cheered his meagre hearth-she blessed
and warmed
With meek, unvarying patience, and perform
Its menial tasks with stained and battered
hands.
She nursed his children through their helm
Gave them her strength, her youth, her
beauty's prime,
Bore for them priyation, toll and tears.
Which made her old and tried, before her
time.
And when fierce fever smote him with its
blight,
Her calm, consoling presence charmed his
pain:
Through long and thankless watches day and
night
Her huttering fingers cooled his face like
With soft magnetic touch, ana murmur
sweet,
She brought him sleep, and stilled his fret
full moan,
And taught his flying pulses to repeat
The wild and moderate measures of her
She had an artists quick perceptiye eyes
For all the beautiful; poets heart
For every changing phase Of earth and skies,
And all things fair in Nature and in art,
She looked with all a woman's keen delight
On jewels rich, and dainty drapery,
Rare fabrics and soft hues-the happy right
OF those more favored bat less fair than she
On pallid pearls, with glimmer cool and white
Dimming proud foreheads with their pu-
rity;
On silks which CLEAN and ripple in the light,
And shift and simmer in the Summer sea-
On gems like drops by sudden sunlight kissed
When fell the last large brilliants OF the
rain;
On laces delicate as frozen mist
Introducing winter window pane
Yet, near the throng Of worldly butterflies
She dwelt, chrysalis, in homely brown,
With cOstliest splendor haunting in her ewes.

Hedged in by alien hearts, unloved, alone.
With slender shoulders bowed beneath their
load,
She trod the path that Fate had made her own
Nor met one kindred spirit on the road
Slowly the years rolled Onward; and at last
When the bruised reed was broken, and her
soul
Knew it's sad term Of earthly bondage past
And felt its nearness to the heavenly goal
Then strange gladness filled the tender eyes,
Which gazed afar beyond all grief and sin
And seemed to see the gates of Paradise
Enclosed for her feet to enter ins
Vainly the master she had served so long
Clasped her worn hands, and with remorse-
full tears
Cried, "'stay, oh, stay Forgive my bitter
wrong:
Let me atone for all those weary yearsm
Alas for needless hearts and blinded sense!
With what faint welcome and what meagre
fare,
What mean subjections and small recon-
pense,
We entertain our angels unaware!

HIS Murphy Money.


There was little incident in this city
the other day, Says the Springfield
Uaion,) which Francis Murphy's gener-
Gus. soul would have rejoiced to see. A
hard-working man had ordered some coal
and was paying for it. when he found that
his pocketbook did not contain enough
by quarter Of dollar. Telling the
dealer that the deficiency would be made
up when the coal was delivered at the
house. he turned to go away. Hold
on!' he exclaimed, coming back mo-
ment later, his face aglow, q that is my
Murphy money. l signed the pledge
when Murphy was here; you know I had
steamed it pretty hard before that, and
now whenever feel as if must have a
drink, take from my pocketbook the
ten cents it would have cost and put it
in there. So there's eighty cents saved
already, and no time lost from wsrk.''
And he walked away very happy man.

"AGood Tin,e.-

A pitiable sight presented itself On the
18th Of July, after the races, in the person
of a well-dressed young man, about nine
teen years old, from Newark, who was
literally Ssdead drunk" He was taken to
the Doctors office, where it required two
hours OF faithful work 20 arouse him from
the death-like stupor in which he lay. At
one time his pulse was weak and hutter-
ing and tthe coma SO profound from the
alcoholic poison which he had taken, it
really looked as if it might be his last
sleep. The stomach pump, and every APP
pliance was brought into requisition to
unload him, but too much time had
elapsed to prevent the narcotic poison.
His comrade, a fine appearing young man
though himself intoxicated, wept at the
sorrowful appearance Of his friend. This
is what some call having a good time
but it is really Transforming the man into
a brute, until all semblauce of better
nature is destroyed And then how that
mothers heart must ache when her bow
Is brought home, and his appearance tells
