But a change came over the audience
when the foremost brigand stepped for
ward and made the following startling
annOuncement:-''L and gentle
men, my name is Passatori. The thea
tire is surrounded, the actors and ac-
tresses already secured. Seek not TO
escape or resist. The first who moves
will be shot" Not a sound was heard.
The terror-stricken audience seemed
turned into stone. The ladies, who a
minute before had been cOQuettishly
fluttering their fans, all smiles, chatter
and animation, now looked like so many
waxwork figures. still as death with
stupefied faces and staring eyes; the
men not all scared, but pale and notion
less, aware that there was nothing for
it but to submit. Snow, then," said
the bold brigand, ''the Marquis of 5.
will just go home and fetch me 10000
francs; the Count of r. will bring me
5000; their ladies will remain as hos
tages for their return" The orders
were obeyed and Passatori, when sat
isfied that he had obtained all there
was to obtain from the aristocracy of
this little town, thanked his victims
with charming affability :--"Good night,
ladies and gentlemen; am charmed to
have made your acquaintance. l leave
my guards at the doors, and you will
have the goodness to remain where you
are for another two hours-that is, un-
I'll | am safe off," That brigand must
have had strong sense of humor.
Another prided himself on being per-
feet gentleman, and when he kidnapped
proprietor kept him well supplied
with cigars and pocket money, and on
the arrival of the ransom, speeded the
parting guest with thousand francs
for the journey and many regrets that
he had been put to so much incopven-
fence.
The filial piety of brigands is proven
bial. One old miscreant being at last
captured, after long life of successful
crime, his prison was besieged by
troop of children and grandchildren,
all in the same line of life, who could
not rest until they had obtained his
blessing. The scene was affecting: the
old man blessed them and trusted they
might bring credit on the glorious name
which had become illustrious thr ough
him. They promised to follow faith
fully in his footsteps, and tore them
selves weeping from his embrace. The
darker side of the picture is illustrated
by the story of the brigandess, who,
having conquered the heart of her jail
or, fed from prison in company with
him. They travelled together to join the
brigand camp which she ruled, and
where the jailor, thought he should be
made the happiest of men, loaded with
rewards and overwhelmed with grati-
tude. He was mistaken. Safe with
her own people, the first order given by
the chieftainess was that her deliverer
should be shot,

Earrings

The Roman ladies of Oiden times used
earrings of pearls and precious stones,
and not unfrequently, like some of the
North American Indians, they had three
or four of these ornaments pendant to
each ear, which, unlike the Indian trim
kets of the present day at least were of
immense value. The Moors of Africa
were also noted for the use of the same
ornaments. Many of the busts of the
heathen gods have been found to have
earrings, or holes pierced in the ears for
that purpose. Some investigators of
antiquity have considered this to be
characteristic of the busts of divinities,
but this opinion does not appear to be
well founded, as there are many well
known statues of mortals which have
the ears pierced. The fine bust of
Caracalla, in the Villa Borghese, which
is affixed to statue Of Hercules, has
only the right ear pierced.

Don't Judge.

Don't Judge man by the clothes he
wears, for God made one, and the tall
or the other.
Don't judge him by his family con-
nection, for Cain belonged to a very
good family.
Don't judge a man by his failure in
life, for many a man fails because he is
too honest to succeed.
Don't judge him by his speech, for
the parrot talks, and the tongue is but
an instrument of sound.
Don't judge a man by the house he
lives in, for the lizzard and the rat
often inhabit the grandest structures.
Don't judge him for his activity in
church, for that is not unfrequently in
spired by hypocritical and selfish mo-
tives.
Don't judge him by his like of dis
play, for the long cared beast is the
humblest of animals, but when aroused
is terrible 10 behold.

liberal-he often pays the Lord in that
way and Feeps the currency.

A Phenomenal Tramp.

A seedy-looking tramp called at Hor-
tons Hotel, at Jericho, L. l., last
Christmas, registered his name and was
warmed and fe' The host was amused
when he asked for his bill, protesting
that he might have money some time,
and if he did he would certainly pay.
Mr.. Horton was surprised few days
ago by the reception of the following
note, dated at Plainfield, n. j., and en-
closing a twenty-five cent stamp:
Mr.. Horton.
DEAR SIR:-As true as living, this is
the first twenty-five cent bill 1 have
been able TO get hold of since owed it
to you last Christmas. Please excuse
my neglect and accept an apology. You

MIGHT AND MORNING.

1 stood alone in the porch last night,
And watched the moon rise over the lea,
TIL the shsdows waved in the silver light,
And the night wind sighed to me-
And down in the garden paths knew
That last years leaves were lingering yet
Leaves that had taken the sun and dew
of days l would fain forget
I found no peace in the summer night:
old JOYS" l said, ''like the leaves lie low
And caunot rest in this tranquil light"
So wept. and turned to go.
! stood again in the porch at morn,
While the boughs shook down their spark
ling spray,
And the sun rose over the sprineing corn
And the fields of scented hay.
A vain went by with its fragrant load;
The WAGNER whistled loud and clear,
But heard step on the quiet road,
Aud knew that my love was near.
Blow, morning wind, DER the sun-lit slope,
And carry the dead leaves out of sght
For my heart beats high vi. h its new-found
hope
All why did doubt last night

cheat no man; 1 belong to the church,
and subscribed $50 to the missionaries
a year ago"
The dark being smiled contemptu-
ously, Bring me Mr.. GoImley's box, -
he said.
And he who had conveyed old Hiram
to the spot where he now stood, set
upon the table box like that in which
lawyers keep the papers of their clients,
labelled Hiram Gormley, Esq"
From the depth of this box he drew a
pile of parchments, and read from
thence: /" a mortgage on the soul of
Hiram GOrmley, given from the day
when he turned his daughter from the
door. Another, when he seized old
Widow Potter's furniture for rent. An
other, when he took advantage of flaw
in the papers to evade the payment of a
just debt of his own. Another, when
he first began business, told fifty lies a
day and gave false weight and measure.
and one tremendous mortgage for pass
sing through the world without one
loving, tender, sympathizing word for
mankind.'
"YOur soul-bah, What is it worth
nOw?''
"1'll take it all back. I'll have my
daughter and her husband home. I'll
pay"
TOO late :" said the dark creature; !;
"Too late, Hiram Gormley, too late (!
Hiram Gormley, too latei''
But the old man stretched out his
hands, screamed aloud in terror, and
fell back into Inconsistencies.
When Mrs. Gormley returned from
the dinner-party, she found her hus-
band stretched upon the hearth-rug,
with blue lump upon his forehead as
large as a hens egg.
When he related his adventure she
considered ii a dream, and laid the
blame upon the old port in the decanter
Oh the sideboard; bnt dream or reality,
it had strange influence upon old
Hiram, for in a week he was recOnciled
TO his daughter, had ignored the flaw
and made the settlement, performed
various unwonted acts OF charity, and
was in fact an utterly changed and bet
ter man.

WHY THE REV. DIR. NUDGE STOP
PED HIS PAPER.

Some years ago when the writer
was 4 reporter upon an Eastern paper,
it deyolycd on him to write for the
same edition IN account of the pre-
scntation OF a gold-headed cane to the
Rev. DR.. Nudge, the clergyman of the
place, and a description Of new hog
killing machine that had just been put
in operation at the factory. Now,
what made the Rev. DR.. Nudge mad
was: The inconsiderate buccaneer
who made up the form got the two To-
Gals mixed in frightful manner, and
when we went to press, something like
this was the appalling result:
"Some of the Rev. Mudge's friends
called on him yesterday, and after a
brief consultation the unsuspectng
hog was seized by the hind legs and
slid along the beam until he reached
the hot water tank. His friends eX-
planned the object of their visit and
presented him with handsome gold
headed butcher, who grabbed him by
the tail, and swung him around, and
in less than minute the carcass was
in the water. Thereupon he came
forward and said there were times
when the feeling oyerpoweredo one, and
for that reason he would not do more
than attempt to thank those around
him for the manner in which so huge
an animal was cut in fragments was
astonishing. The doctor concluded
his remarks, the machine seized him.
and, in less time than it takes to write
it, the hog was cut into fragments and
and worked into delicious sausage.
The occasion will be remembered by
the doctors friends as one of the most
delightful of their lives. The best
pieces can be obtained for fifteen cents
per pound, and we are sure those who
sat under his ministry will rejoice to
hear that he has been SO handsomely
treated"
Mad Well, about nine o'clock that
morning the office had been abandoned
by every man but the advertising clerk,
and he assembled to the roof and robed
himself in boiler iron, 50 that he could
see the clergyman tearing arond down
in the street with his congregation, all
wearing the panoply of war, and car
rying butcher knives and things. The
next day we apologized, but the doc
tor stopped his subscription.-hdjan

Charles W. Mason of Vergennes, a
noted dealer in Spanish merino sheep,
has just started for San Antonio, Tex,
with another carload of Efull-bloods."
The capital and attention of many
Vermont farmers are being attracted
by the profits of the sheep business,
which are sometimes enormous, the
refusal Of 500, 5000 and $500 for an
imals, which have not cost 81 in rails
ing, being quite common, and those
portions Of the state where it is carried
on are marked by large, handsome and
expensive barns and other farm build
ings. Some farmers have also gone
to Colorado, Oregon. New Mexico,
Texas, California, Idaho, and other
western regions which are especially
adapted to sheep raising. Oscar Ba-
con Of Waltham has just sold 40 Span
lsh merino ewes to an Ohio man for
$40 apiece and two buck lambs for
Sl00. A merino buck purchased by
John II. Sprague FIVE years ago for
$1,000 has earned him $4,000, besides
services to bis own flock of $50 ewes.

Making all allowance for the buster
of England and Russia, there can be
no doubt but there is serious danger
of war between them. The Muscoyite
government, backed by strong war
sentiment among the people, squarely
refuses to have every article of the trea-
ty with Turkey submitted to congress
of the powers and will doubtless stick
to this refusal. England with equal
determination insists upon her demand.
Meanwhile Russia is endeavoring to
conciliate Austria, so that she wont
have two great powers to fight, if the
worst comes. The attitude of Ger
many is uncertain, though the Berlin
Post, one Of Bismark's organs, says
she will "neyer fight for Russia nor
any other foreign interests. "-SPring-

to be Quite universal for the Russians.

mainly and civilization. The treach-

The threatening storm Of opposition

last six months. burst with fury last
week in fine thunder and bliNcn' ha-
raDguc of Senator WoNc Of Wis.

securing notoricty, Or, perhaps
the more dcbasing cause, instlgated to
become the cats paw of the enemies OF
HAYES. INDUCED in a TRADE Of abuse,
that had only the redeeming feature Of
exhibiting brightness in irony and sar-
castle defamation. Now, just As sure
lv as majority Of the Republican
party shall follow the lead Of few OF
its old disgruntled Grantish leaders III
an opposition to the wise, conciliatory
and reforming policy Of President
HAYES aud his able advisers, will they
lose the support of large element Of
honest women, who hate democracy,
but will give it their support only on
the ground of choosing the least OF
two evils. "HerUptjon" has been the
battle CRY of democracy and reform,
the watchword of the Republicans, but
no sooner do we have President and
Cabinet, who attempt, with an honesty
of conviction that is remarkable, to
carry out the first principles OF both
parties, than strong opposition Is
met with in both parties and almost
alone is the President left to carry out
the wishes Of the people. We doubt
II there ever has been sadder COM
Ment on the depth of political degra-
dation than the above fact. Hayes is
reproached for being President, but
wherein was he in the least at fault.
Our country was almost on the eve OF
war over the conflict of opinion in re-
gard to the election of Il President,
and both parties wisely determined
upon an arbitration Of the difficulty,
and declared Mr.. Hayes elected, and
Mr.. Tilden with a grace that is COM
mcndable inquiries "What is the use
of SO much buster now" and Mr.
IIewctt asserts that there Is no dis
position to question the right Of Mr..
Hayes to his position. Is Mr.. Hayes
to blame for being President: Mr..
Howe and other argue as though he
was. Absurd. But says Mr.. Howe,
if Hayes was elected 50 was Packard
and Chamberlain. Not at all. There
was a question as to the right Of Mr..
Hayes inauguration, whichWas settled,
and we count it an evidence Of moral
courage and political honesty such as
is seldom witnessed, that, if there was
fraud in the election Of Mr.. Hayes, he
did not, as he might easily have done,
connivc in that fraud and back its
perpetrators, but left the possibility
for future and more peaceful devclope-
ment of the truth in the affair.
SO far Mr.. Hayes and his advisers
have shown c0mmendable wisdom and
purity of purpose and now let the peo-
pie discard the party prejudices that
are based on dead issues and, fearless
of party lashes, sustain an administra-
ton that aims at the harmonious
government of the whole nation. LET
us have peace" not forced at the point
of the bayonet, like the peace now en-
joyed by Turkey, but piece begotten
Of mutual good feeling between the
different sections Of our great nation
and hearty desire to see the interests
of each section advanced.
