In the year 1860 two men named
Perry and their mother we're hanged for
the murder Of man who had never been
murdered at all. Mr.. Harrison, Lady
Campdens steward, having been collect
ing his rents, suddenly disappeared.
John Perry accused his mother, himself,
and his brother OF having robbed Mr..
Harrison in the previous year, and Of
having again robbed him and murdered
him on the night he was missed. The
mother and Richard Perry denied all
knowledge of the matter; but a, length
pleaded guilty to the first indictment I'M
der some pressure Of policy. The other
indictment was not then proceeded with,
on the ground that the body was not
found. But John persisted in his story,
and at the next assize they we're all tried
for murder. John then retracted his
confession, and said he must have been
mad. Nevertheless, they were all con-
demned. Some years afterward Mr..
Harrison appeared alive. and thus &C.
counted for his mysterious absence.
After receiving his rents he had been set
upon by gang Of rutfians. carried to the
SEA side. put on ship board, and sold as a
slave to the Turks. After his masters
death he escaped, and with great difficulty
working his way. first to Lisbon, and
,heace 10 Dover, he arrived in Eng land,

The Prime of Life.

Between the ages of forty-fve and sixty
a man who has properly regulated him
self may be considered in the prime Of
life. His matured strength Of constitu-
ton renders him almost impervious to an
attack of disease, and experience has given
soundness to his judgment. His mind is
resolute, firm and equal; all his functions
are in the highest order; he assumes mas
terry over his business; builds up
competence on the foundation he has
laid in early manhood. and passes through
a period Of lie attended by many grat,f-
cations. Having gone over year or two
over sixty he arrives at stand-stil. But
athwart thi is the yiaduct called the turn
of life, which, if crossed IN safety, leads
to the valley of cold age, round
which the river winds, and then
beyond, without boat or causeway, 10 Ell
feet his passage. The bridge is, however,
constructed of fragile material, and it
depends how it is trodden whether it
bend or break. Govt and apoplexy are
also in the vicinity to waylay the traveller,
and trust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins and provide himself
with filter staff. and he may trudge on
in safety and perfect composure. To
quit metaphor. 1.-The turn Of life" is a
turn either into prolonged walk or into
the grave. The system and powers hav-
ing reached the utmost expansion, now
begin either to close like flower at SUM-
set or break down at once. One judicious
stimulant. a single fatal excitement, may
force it beyond its strength, whilst care

all that tends to force plant will sustain
it in beauty and vigor until night has en-
tirely set in.

A Boy with q Heart.

The other day bit Of boy called at
the side-door of good-looking farm res
idence and told such a sorrowful story
that the lady was not stingy in throwing
provisions into his basket. Happening
to look into the front yard after few min>
utes. she saw the strange boy mixed up
with her three or four children, and she
called out:
"Boy, what are you doing here'"
"Feed'n these half starved children
he promptly replied.
But those are my children" she in
dignantly exclaimed
"Makes no difference to mev' he said,
as he broke off another piece Of cake.

and ready to swear that he hasn't tasted
pie for over year, I'm going to stop my
business and brace him up! Haven't
you got a clean waist which l could put
on this dirty little boy'"
She looked up and down to see if any
canvassers for the poor heathens we're in
sight, and then she grabbed the broom
and ran that sympathetic boy out OF the
yard.-New York Graphic.

SCOTCH FUNERAIs.-Talking of funer-
ais, in the good old times, and in the
mansions Of the lairds. these used to be
the most enjoyable Of parochial festivities.
The kith and kin came from great dis
tances to be entertained in style BETTING
the occasion. There were grave faces at
the gathering when the guests assembled
round the coffin TO listen to a suitable
prayer. Then glasses Of wine were
handed round once, twice, or oftener-
the poorest people would procure wine
for the occasion-and The memory OF
the deceased was toasted in silence
Then the long procession moved off 10
the kirkyard, and the body was laid ST.
lently in the grave. That duty being SOL
EMMY discharged, load was visibly
lifted from the assistants. Acquaintance
came together in the carriages and mourn.
ing coaches. and there was plenty Of ami.
mated conversation. When the guests
took their seats at the tables in the din
ing room all were in excellent spirits and
appetite. The near relations might he
sad at heart, but they were HOSPITALITY
bound to stihc their sorrow, and there
was ample appliances for drowning it.
When the old fashion Of drinking healths
and taking wine prevailed. mourners
were apt to get merry in spite of them
selves, while. as may be supposed, the
mere acquaintance Of the deceased gave
themselves over easily to boisterous jov-
ali,y. 1t was churli>h thing to be the
frs, to break ur good company. and even
the minister might well sit it out till con-
vival example upsets his decorum.-Ws

Road Making.

Under the subject Of roads, there is no
more important item than how it should
be done, except the vital part, viz: their
projection.
We find by observation that many Of
our turnpikes are built by the slow and
tedious, as we'll as expensive, plan OF
shoveling dirt into wagons and hauling it
to the place wanted. This should never
be resorted to except in filling in across
a marsh or Jog.
All locations or quality of soil com.
posing road beds are benefited by raising
the center OF the road at least two feet
On level lands this can be almost com.
pleted with the plow, beginning in the
center and back furrowing continually
until high enough, and then narrowing

Road scrapers are well enough known
to be used more persistently than they
are. In cutting through hills and in fill
ing in their base, plows and scrapers are
the only means Of transportation in need.
One man and team with good scraper
will take from hill as much earth, and
move it twenty rods, as three men can
move the same distance with team, wagon
and shovels.
Grading down hills, as rule, is not
carried out. Remember, if four feet is
taken from the top Of hill and deposited
at the bottom, you decrease the grade

rods, or make a difference in the grade

to move it. Newly made roads are usu-
ally left too rough by the worker. The
harrow should be used continually during
the grading OF a road, as it not only
serves to level it, but compacts the soil
and furnishes solid bed from the be-

bitches must first be cut on each side, to
drain the space between, in which case,
not more than one-h half the earth will be
required to make road that would be
needed if dumped upon the undrained

Road making over timber land pre-
sents many obstacles. The land has first
to be grubbed and broken, and then if
long roads are to be Quilt with a small
appropriation, as is generally the case, it
is best to harrow down thoroughly i'm.

or not.
IF you ever go into the art, said An

stations always make better trick horses

They are clean jumps, clearing the ground

A Pithy Official Report.

The United States has never known 2
more sensible and astonishing report than
that which the War Department received
from the West Point Board of Visitors.
The Boards officers, consisting of . noted
political economist, a soldier of high
rank and college professor OF national
reputation, bluntly inform the Department
and the country that Congress does not
desire information from such sources, and
that the mere nod or whim of Secretary
OF War or General-in- Chief has more
influence than the combined opinions or
all the boards that have ever been ap-
pointed. They therefore suggest model
for report, which model is as sensible as
it as sarcastic; higher praise than this
could hardly be expressed. Ali that the
report proper lacks of ideal completeness
is recommendation that. no visiting
boards shall be appointed hereafter, but
that the Inspector General and his as
sistants shall discharge the duties which
have heretofore devolved upon the
"visitors" We commend the Boards re-
port to other boards. commissions, etc.,
whose only satisfaction for the work they
accomplish consists of the compensation
they receive, and whose sef-respect ie Of.

gress to make any use OF the information

Ladies Should Read.

1t is great mistake in female educa-
ton TO keep young lady's time and At
tention devoted only 10 the fashionable
literature Of the day. If you would
qualify her for conversation, you must
give her something to talk about, give
her education in the actual world and its
transpinng events. Urge her to read the
newspapers and become familiar with the
present character and Improvements Of
our race. History is of some importance.
but the past world is dead. we have moth
ing to do with it. Let her have an intel>
ligent opinion. and be able to sustain
conversation according to the mental.
moral and religious improvement of our
times. Let the gilded annals and poems

time covered with weekly and daily jour-
mails. Let the whole family, men. women
and children read newspapers.

1t was the opinion of the late Prof
Agassiz that, a, a former period, enor>
nous masses Of ice covered the great and
beautiful valley of Switzerland. altogether
with the whole chain OF the Jura, the
sides Of which, facing the Alps. are also
polished and interspersed with angular
and cratic rocks, resembling the boulders
in the mountains, yet so far different that
the masses of ice, no, being there con-
fined between two sides Of valley, their
movements were in some respects differ
cnt-ihe boulders no, being connected in
continuous ridges, but dispersed singly
over the Jura at different levels. But the
most striking theory. perhaps, advocated
by this great scientist, was this, namely
that. at a certain epoch, all the north Of
Europe, and also the moth OF Asia and
America, were covered with a mass OF
ice, in which the elephants and other
mammalia found in the frozen mud and
gravel OF the arctic regions, were imbed-
ded at the time Of their destruction; and.
therefore, when this immense mass Of
ice began quickly to melt, the currents Of
water thus resulting. transported and de-
posted the masses Of irresularly rounded
boulders and gravel which ill the bottom
