A Fisherman on a Tramp.

Whilst fisherman named Bill was
walking from Grimbsby to Sunderland,
he was overtaken by young woman
travelling the same road.
In the course of conversation, she men
toned that she was very hard up, and
would be obliged to seek nights 1odg-
ing in the workhouse.
Eventually, they agreed to 60 togeth-
or and ask for admission, the woman
telling him that it would be more readi-
~ granted if he stated that she was his
wife.
They were sent to their respective DOM
iciles, and the next morning, while Bill
was hard at work stone breaking the
task usually imposed in return for the
accommodation afforded-the workhouse
doctor came up to him and said
"Your name isl"

"That was your wife you brought in
last. night!'' :,
Conceiving it best to stick to his pre-
vious statements, Bill replied IN the at.

1--WE KNEW.

If We knew when walking thoughtless
Through the crowded, dusty way,
I hat some pearl of wondrous whiteness
Close beside our pathway lay,
We would pause where now we hasten
We would eften look around,
Lest our careless feet should trample
Some rare jewel in the ground.
If we knew what forms arc faiuting
For the shade which we should fling
If we knew what lips are parching,
For the water we should bring
We would haste with eager footsteps,
We would work with willing hands,
Bearing cooling cups of water,
Planting rows of shading palms.
If we knew what feet were weary.
Climbing up the hills of pain
BY the world cast out as evil,
Poor, repented Magdalenes-
We no more would dare to scorn them
With our Pharasaic pride, -
Wrapping close our robes around US =.
Passing on the other side.
If We knew when friends around us
Closely press to say "Good-bye,"
Which among the lips that kiss us
First beneath the flowers should lie,
While like rain upon their faces
Fell our bitter, binding tears,
Tender words of love eternal
We would whisper in their ears

The Wandering Singers Lay.

To live the life of happy birds,
That wing their way from tree to tree,
To roam unconscious us the herds
All, this is to be truly free.
These humble lives are unto God;
They praise Him in their rest;
So will press the verdant sod,
As near to the maternal breast.
And will spend this summer time
Untrammeled as the wilding thrush
Or string little idle rhyme,
Like yon poor sparrow in the bush.
For VINO would gricve 70 shane the day,
Or who would plain when nights are fair?
Back to the smallest autumn gray,
Back to your cell. curmudg eon Care.
Though poor, now wealthy is my part,
The happy gods in order bring;
Though poor and low, the royal heart
Sits ever like q crowned king.
The purple and gold are mine,
What shame to mourn if none will praise?
I'll uuaff of the wild berry's wine,
Nor scorn the world that f1outs myllays.
But who would guess my princely state?
Can tattered garments such reveal:
1 am not poor with those who hate,
And all are noble as they feel.
will not murmur nor repent,
And none can be my spirits peer,
Save he has quafted of deep content.
Or can excel in sturdy cheer
Earth holds naught lighter than my purse,
Save this poor wandering singers breast;
read no legend OF curse,
But everywhere the words, Be blest.
I'll count no human being wise,
save he who joys to see the sun;
Strong in his gladness let him rise,
And sing as if Gray Time were young

drawing-rooms, which are all the ceze-

have just had the pleasure of inspecting
a magnificent court dress made by Le-
roillant for Miss Emily Schoumberg, 0d
Philadelphia, who is to be presented 6
the second drawing-room by Mrs. J0hS
Bigelow.
Miss Welsh, being unmarried, does noa
present the American ladies at court.
The dress in question is entirely com-
posed of rich white satin. The front Of
the skirt is trimmed with white chenille
fringe, with heading of fine silver net
and with a band of large daisies and
green leaves in chenille embroidery. A
band of silver embroidery edges tina
lower corsage. The train is three yarda
in length (the regulation length as pre-.
scribed by etiquette), and is cut around
the edges into large scallops. At thu
upper point of each scallop is set dsisy
with its leaves in chenille embroidery.
This train is laid in fiat plaits on ths
right shoulder and is cfasped there by a
single large daisy crossing the back of tbs
corsage transversely and being held down
at the left side of the waist by another
cluster of daisies. The method of s<
ranging the train is far more graceful
than were the Vatican plaits With
this dress Miss Schoumberg will wear q
full Set of diamonds, comprising three
bandeaux for the hair, necklace of fae
single stones, solitaire earrings and ports

white feathers and tulle veil will COM

KILLED HIS BROTHER.
John Heving, Of Covington, Accidentally
Cuts His Brothers Jugular Vein,

About half past six o'clock last evening
an unfortunate fratricide occurred in the
little village of Augustinburg, which is
situated just south of Covington. John
Heving, aged twenty-five, and his brother
Henry, who is two years his senior,
were lounging around in the back
yard of the premises the Hevngs
occupy, when John, who had common
pocket-knife in his hand, stepped up to
Henry and with some foolish remark,
struck at him with the knife. Instantly a
stream of blood spurted from the neck of
the older brother and he fell to the ground
| with his jugular vein severed. In the
course of twenty minutes he died. When
John realized, the horrible deed he had
done he was frantic with grief, and it
became necessary to bind him hand and
foot to prevent his doing injury to himself.
As soon as the officers were notified of the
murder they arrested John and placed him
in the Coyington Jail The Coroner was
notified.
Young Heving was arraigned before
Mayor Athey this morning and his case
was continued until 3 o'clock, when he
will give bail. Heving was visited in his
cell this morning by his poor, afflicted
father, who is almost eart-broken over the
sad affair, and no person could take it any
harder than Mr.. Heving, whois well known
and is respected by everybody for his many
fine traits of character and generous dispo-
stion.
His sister, Miss Lizzie Heving, an intell-
gent, warm-hearted girl, visited John at the
Jail this morning, and the meeting was very
affecting. The poor boy tainted at the
sight of his sisters tears, and she had to
turn away.
The funeral of the deceased will take
place from Mother of God Church Thurs
day morning, and the remains will be in
tered at st. Mary's Cemetery.
The sympathy of the entire community
is with the bereayed family. than
whom there are no more pleasant and
agreeable in the State.
The Coroner held an inquest this morn
ing, and the jury returned a verdict of
Death from a wound inflicted by knife
in the hands of John Heving"

in his pants pocket. When Mr.. Stephen.

searching around found them lying in the
hall with the pockets turned inside out and
the contents, with the exception Of. the

Had the thief taken the keys which were
in the pocket, and gone through trunk

in valuables and a couple of hundred in
cash. These have been removed ere this,
and put in secure place. Had the thief

THE MURDERER PRICE.
The Authorities Afraid to Bring Him Into
COurt

The Police Court room was crowded this
morning with spectators anxious to see
Geo. Price, the murderer of Mr. Willie
Black, arraigned. But they were all badly
disappointed, for it was thought best for
him not to be removed from his cell.
Mr.. Thomas G. Campbell appeared for
Price and asked what disposition would be
made of the case. 81 will change the charge
from shooting with intent to kill to that
of murder in the first degree ;" said Judge
Wilson, "and l will remand him to jail

think he will CO." very well, Yer Honor"
said Mr.. Campbell. 81 want him kept at

Price, the murderer of Willie Black, after
being taken back from the Police Court to
Jail, said on inquiry that he was not COM
PEELED to go to Covington to attend the in
quest or post mortem examination.
He said he would rely upon the laws of
this State to keep him here until his trial,
and he was evidently afraid of meeting a
violent death should he 60 to Kentucky.
He still seems to keep up his brayado, and
says that he is not sorry for his sake. The
only thing that troubles him is the effect his
death or punishment will have on his fam
ily.
