"Perhaps you do not like your friends

murely.
81 should like her much better if she
did not wish to choose wife for me"
smiled Mr.. Bardolph.
''She might choose wisely" suggested
Sisley.

sisted the gentleman, land my choice
cannot be Jack Gershom's sister. I
hope | shall not meet her; l suppose
she has been instructed to make herself
as fascinating as possible, and no doubt
l shall be expected to be devoted at once
and forever"
Perhaps your friends sister may
avoid meeting you," said Sisley; "she
may be as averse to an interference of
| this kind as you are"
She spoke very earnestly and had
grown rather pale.
SIS that what'you would do-the way
you would think p he asked, regarding
her thoughtfully.
"Yes," she asserted, simply; and then
suddenly-she could not help it-she
covered her face with her hands and
uttered a hysterical sob.
"You must know the truth some
time" she gasped, "and think as badly
of me as you will L am Sisley
Gershom"
Very gravely he drew her hands away
from the tear-wet face.
Sand you would not so to Greenlawn
because you did not wish to meet me p
he queried, with a look that thrilled her,
for it told her that the spirit Of love
had been walking between them for
many a day.
She bowed a mute assent.
"But you have met me, nevertheless"
he went on, smiling little; "and Sisley,
l think Jacks wife has chosen wisely
for me- | love you; l honor you, and l
want you. Will you give me word of
hope 2"
"Onlv one word, Guyl" she returned,
with voice that answered the lover
who had won the love of her whose life
he had saved among the butttercups.

A Mothers Voice.

Since the prevailing Indian troubles
commenced an Indian camp was cap
tured, together with number of prison
ers, including squaws, and some half
dozen white captives, boys and girls,
from five to twelve years of age. Word
was sent throughout the country, invit-
ing those who had lost children to come
to the camp and identify, if possible,
their children, as none of them could
give any account Of who their parents
were, or where they were taken from,
so young were they when they were
taken captive by the Indians. Numbers
went to the camp-many more than
there We're children-and, of course,
many of them returned with heavy
hearts at being unable to find their lost
ones. Among the number who went
hundreds of miles to the camp was a
mother who had lost two Children
boy and girl, one three and the other
five years old-years ago. Efforts were
made TO persuade her not to 60, as so
long a time had elapsed it was certain
she could not identify her children even
if they stood before her. But she could
not rest; she mu.t so, and go she did.
On arriving at the encampment she
found the captives ranged in line for in
spection. She looked at them first from
distance, her anxious heart bounding
in ler bosom. But she did not see her
children, at least she saw nothing in the
group that bore the slightest resemblance
to her baby boy and girl, as they looked
when playing about her doorstep. She
looked long aad steadily at them, as her
heart began to sink and grow heavy in
her BOSOM At last with tears and sobs
she withdrew, and when some PAGES off
she stopped and turned about quickly,
as apparently thought had occurred to
her. Drying her eyes she broke forth
il. a sweet HYMN she had been wont to
sing to her children as lullaby. Scarce
word had Leen uttered, when two of
the captive>. "A boy and girl, rushed from
the line exclaiming "Mamma man.

satisfied she had found her long lost
children.

A Remarkable Fossil.

The Newburyport Herald reports the
discovery OF remarkable fossil on Plum
Island. There has been an elevation of
sand, formerly known as Brothers
Beach, hundred and fifty feet long and
fifty fee, high, one of the largest sand
hills on the island. Latter!y the wind has
blown it away, so that the sand dune has
lowered to hight OF but lev feet. For
many years it was mark for the fisher
men and coasters, but is now scarcely
diScernible from short distance at sea.
On Sunday afternoon some gentlemen
observed protruding from the sand which
remained of the vanished hill large
bone, and curiosity was excited to dis
cover what it was. Tools were procured.
and on digging their labors we're rewarded
by the discovery OF most extraordinary
skeleton for this part of the world.
The skull was between two and three
feet wide, and they uncovered length Of
backbone of over seven feet 1t was not
a fish they are certain, since joint OF leg
bone, as they describe it, over eighteen
inches long and between four and five in
ches in diameter. was discovered. They
describe the skull as in form like that Of
an elephant. and the leg bone as OF enor-
NOUS solidity when i, belonged to the
animal buried there. From the condi-
ton OF the bones they must have been
covered for ages, as they we're ready to
crumble, and it was with difficulty that
they could be handled so as 10 take them
to the station wilhou, crumbling to pieces.

Brain Pressure.

The post-mortem examination of the
body of Parr, the Philadelphia murderer
who swallowed strychnine while receiv-
ing his death sentence, furnishes evidence
strongly conirmatory Of the theory that
violent crimes often proceed from state
of mind produced by pressure on the
brain, resulting from abnormal gro wths
or an old fracture of the skull. Parr
had an ugly temper from childhood,
probably, but during the last ten years
of his life his brutal and unnatural vio-
lence toward his children and all who
incurred his anger made him danger
Gus man. For two years he pursued his
daughter Susie, and her husband, Irwin,
with vindictiveness that more than
once brought him under the notice of
the law. In sentencing him TO the
Penitentiary, two years ago, Judge
Biddle declared him to be the wickedest
man he ever had to deal with. On
being discharged from the Penitentiary,
in March, he at once resumed his perse-
cution of the Twins. Finally, on May
9th, he murdered his daughter in the
house of neighbor, where she had
sought refuge from his violence. At the
ensuing trial his counsel proved that
PARIS skull had once been fractured, and
argued that condition of irresponsible
insanity might have resulted from the
injury. When the doctors removed the
top of his skull, they discovered this
fracture. In uniting, the walls of the
Uranium had thrown out an osseous
formation which pressed upon the brain.
1t is not unreasonable to suppose that
this pressure greatly aggravated the
mans naturally bad passions, and con-
verted his rage at his daughters mar
riage with Irwin in fixed and murder
Gus purpose. His skull was very thick,
and our dispatch states that ga police
man pounded Parr five minutes with
black, jack once, and made no impress
sion or him" That policeman, under
the theory - ksre mentioned, sught to
share the responsibility OF Paris crimes
A blow ca the hesd, even with cane,
or the fist, is serious thing, and may
disturb the balance Of the brain, or i'm
pair it's faculties. OF this fact there
are too many melancholy instances.
The police force of this city, SO fond is
it OF Clubbing with impartial severity
alike the innocent and the guilty, might
fairly be called society for the promot-
ing of murder-N. Y. Times.

The Sexes in Educa ton.

In speech at dinner Of the friends
of female school in Andover, Mass,
the other day, the Rev. DR.. Peabody,
of Harvard University, speaking Of CO.
education, said: "The question that first
presents itself is, Shall the education of
young men and young women be in all
respects the same l would answer
Yes, if their destiny in life, if their
native proclivity and capacity, if the
parts that they, in Divine Providence,
are to fill in the world were the same
l cannot but think that there will be
fittingly diversity in the modes of
training The question is sometimes
raised of the equality of men and wo-
men. l don't like the word Equival-
ency is the word, and that maintain in
the fullest sense. l admit no difference
in the worth of native endowments and
capacities, and if l admit any difference
as to the exten: of influence, AS to the
amount of good work done in the world,
it must be on the side Of women GER
tainly. But believe that women can
not learn and do equally well with man
all the things that he learns and does,
and that man cannot learn and do equal
ly well with women all the things that
she learns and does. His is the wider,
hers the richer field. His is the strength
of reasoning, hers the quicker intuition
and clearer insight his the more easy
mastery Of abstract sciences, hers the
far finer seeing nature. the keener sense
of beauty in art and in literature, and
the larger capacity of culture in all that
pertains to the beauty, charm, orna-
ment and JOY of home society. l would
not have the same culture pursued by
both, for l should dread to find always
in the parlor duplicate of the counting
room or office There must be "A differ.
ence of culture corresponding to the diff
ference of position in society. There
are some vocations of men which GER
tainly it is not becoming that women
should follow. There are others in
which, for obvious reasons, they cannot
compete successfully with men. There
are others in order to pursue which
they must forget that which is more fit
ting-their first province, the ornament
of home life. However, these two lines
of culture, or the two fields of culture,
interest each other in many points and
have great deal in common. Certainly
it would benefit young men were their
scientific culture of a higher order than
it is wont to he, and ! believe that young
women are largely benefited by a more
thorough course than usual of scientific
study

OUT OF WORK

A pair of feet grown weary.
Seeking for work all day;
A pair of idly folded hands,
Upon my lap to lay;
A heart from which all hope has aed,
My God, how far away
wait the battle for my bread
That comes with dawn of day.
A pair Of eyes grown weary
Looking so far beyond,
Seeking, amidst the crowds 1 meet,
The face of some kind friend;
Seeking, but never finding
Wishing lifes battle through
Great Heaven. to be a stranger
And have no work to do.
A heart and soul grown weary
OF turmoil, strife and pain;
An arm and spirit willing
To work, but all in vain.
Oh, where shall seek shelter
When darkness comes again?
Oh, for one CLEAN of sunshine
Through storm and cloud and rain!

Beauty of Norman Castles.

The castles built in the era INN ediately
following the Conquest were very numer-
Gus, and, considered in connection with
the enormous number Of religious foun-
dations which date from the eleventh and
twelfth centuries, the building activity OF
that age was, perhaps, unexampled. In
their construction everything was sacri-
feed to military necessities, without the
slightest concession to any rival consider
alton. Not stone was laid except in the
strictest conformity with the conditions OF
the problem, and every inch ofthe struc-
ture, from basement to battlement, was
the expression and result of single pur-
pose. The very pro6les Of the copings
were devised to detlec; or check the
flight OF an arrow, and indeed every part
OF the work bears testimony 10 the over
ruling sway of an iron age. The rough
fancy Of the Norman breaks out here and
there in the ornamen: he loved so we'll,
and with which the ecclesiastical buildings
OF The age abound. but never to the pre-
JUDGE or even to the apparent weakening
of the main purpose Of the building
Cushioned capital and zigzag billie. and
chevefon are found, but only in the crypt
or in some inner gateway or for the adorn.
ment OF the little oratory-seldom absent
nesting in the thickness Of the mighty
walls. Yet, in spite Of the absence Of
deliberate artistic aim. the art instinct Of
their builders is everywhere felt. By
fOrtuitous combination OF line and mass,
the picturesque grandeur Of the early cas-
ties is not exceeded by any OF the works
of man, nor is there probably any class Of
building the world over which has afforded
the artist such universal aid and delight
