In constant communication with Russia,
offers so many advantages that more
than one criminal whose term has ex-
pired has remained there in preference
to returning home. Eastern Siberia,
called by the Russians Za-Baikalski," }"
beyond Lake Baikal,) is dreaded by the
convicts for It's remoteness and sterility,
IL being a common saying among them
that "one year in the East is worse than
two In the West" More terrible than
all, however, is the sentence OF hard
labor In the mines, especially those of
quicksilver, which by its corrosive ac-
ton upon the bones, makes certain
and horrible death the inevitable climax
of the penalty. Escape Is all but impos-
slble, from the countless military pick
cts, and the strictness of their suryeil-
lance; but as If to make assurance
doubly sure, the Russian government is
sending many Of its political prisoners
to the new acquired Island of Saghalin,
lying between the Siberian coast and
Japan. In the reign of Nicholas, pris-
oners were often compelled to march the
whole distance with chains on their
ankles; but happily this barbarity has
become rare of late years, though there
seems reason to fear that 1t may be re-
vived before long.

and the guest was Immediately placed at
her ease.
Mrs. Livermcre said:
81 was once the recipient of u very
marked politeness of similar sort
When was in. London my husband
and l received a verbal invitation from
Lady Villas, whom had met once or
twice pleasantly, to come to come to her
house next evening and meet q few
friends of hers. We accepted and went.
But i was deceived by the informality
of the invitation, and supposed it was
merely to meet half a dozen neighbors
or intimate friends. So we went out
riding in the afternoon, stopping there
on the way back to the hotel.
"Judge of my amazement to find the
house illuminated and large and bril-
liant party assembled In full dress in
my honor.
"There l was in plain carriage dress,
bonnet and black glovesl"
What in the world did you do ?"
inquired young girl.
Why, / went right into the house
and to the ladies' dressing-room, whence
sent note to the hostess saying that
had inexperienced her invitation
and was not in appropriate costume. -
She ran up and reassured me by telling
me they had come to see me and didn't
care about the dress, and carried me
right down with her.
"All in full dress and the ladies with
out hats and hair elaborately dressed;
with brown dress, bare hands, bonnet
on, soon recovered the self-posses-
sion which the fdur pas somewhat dis
turbed and was greeted with splendid
cordiality. In few minutes Mr.. Liv-
ermore edged around behind me and
whispered

1t doesn't pay to take advantage of
another's necessities. 1t is done, how
ever, and by men who pride themselves
on their shrewdness. Causeur, of the
Boston " Transcript" says he knows
case in point. A well known business
man in Boston wanted certain work
done. 1t required special professional
skill which but few ever attained. But
he found a young man who possessed 1t
in high degree, who was greatly in
need of work, and consented to work
for very small pay. The employer
chuckled. The young man went to
work and worked on definite plan.-
He put the very best skill he had into
his work. His employers customers
were delighted. They not only liked
what he did, but they liked it SO well
that they would have no other. Again
the employer chuckled. His business was
growing in proportions and in profit
One day the young man asked for
higher pay. His employer said he
couldn't afford it. The young man
knew that that was lie, but he didn't
say SO. He kept on working, doing bet
ter and better. Again his employer
chuckled, not alone over his gains, but
over the fact that he had, as he thought,
deceived the young man. His conf
dence in his own sagacity had rude
awakening one morning he learned that
his " dupe" had set up in business for
himself. The customers who liked his
work would have no other. The en-
ployer has not been able to find any one
who could just match it, at any price.
1t doesn't pay to be too shrewd. You
may buy things for less than they are
worth for some time, but the balance
has got to be paid in the end.

BURYING THE WRONG MAN.

HTHERE'S no better fellow than
L Bob Lindsay" was the universal
voice of his neighbors : &C but for one
falling they felt in conscience bound to
add.
His one failing, a proneness to in
dulge in strong drink, had been suffi-
cient to counterbalance all Bob's good
qualities. Active, industrious and en-
ergetic, he was man to make his way
in the world. Indeed, many times sue
cess seemed within his grasp. But just
at the critical moment, and while his
friends were hopefully saying, eff he'll
only hold OUTS sudden relapse would
come, and weeks dissipation would
squander the fruits of a month of sober
industry.
1t was sore trial to Mary Lindsay
to see her husband the slave of 10th
some appetite. Hers was proud as
well as loving heart; and it stung her
to note the look of a suppressed triumph
visible on the faces of certain friends, in
opposition to whose counsels she had
married handsome Bob Lindsay, in pref
erence to rich, old and ugly Didymus
Dodd.
Whatever of Bob's earnings had es-
capped the rumseller's grip, had gone to
buy neat little home, which would
have been very happy one but for the
one great drawback.
Bob had given mortgage for por-
ton OF the purchase money, and several
times he had raked enough together to
pay it; but just then his besetting
temptation would overcome him, and
the money, instead of going to cancel
the debt which lay like load on Mary's
heart, and hung like shadow over her
home, would be worse than wasted.
In the course of time and business
this mortgage came into the hands Of
Didymus Dodd. From him Bob knew
it would be useless TO seek indulgence,
even had he felt free to ask favor Of
Didymus Dodd-a humiliation at which
his own, as well as Mary's pride re-
volted.
With that will and earnestness which
had SO often before carried Bob to the
verge of success, and needed only per-

more at the house of friend. At table
the conversation fell upon the subject of
politeness. The hostess told of friend
of hers, little antique in her manners,
for whom a reception was given by one
of the Beacon street aristocracy of Bos-
ton. At dinner the guest poured out
her tea in her saucer to cool tia meth

The guests looked surprised, and some
were inclined to smile at her simplicity
and ignorance of high-toned propriety,
but the lady of the house poured some

from. This was considered hint to all

Siberia has long been not merely the

capital punishment being now reserved

But in this transportation there are

Prize Essay on Woman.

After man came woman.
And she has been after him ever since.
She is person of free extraction, be-
ing made of mans rib.
L don't know why Adam wanted to
fool away his ribs in that way, but sup
pose he was not accountable for all he
did.
1t costs more to keep o woman than
three dogs and shot gun.
But she pays you back with interest
by giving you house full of children to
keep you awake at night and smear mo-
lasses candy over your Sunday coat.
Besides, a wife is a very convenient
article to have around the house.
She is handy to swear at whenever
you cut yourself with razor and don't
feel like blaming yourself.
Woman is the superior being in Mas
sachusetts.
There are about 10000 more of her sex
than males in that state.
This accounts for the terrified hunted
down expression of the single men who
emigrate from the east.
Woman is not created perfect.
She has her faults-such as false hair,
false complexion, and so on.
But she is a great deal better than her
neighbor, and she knows it.
Eve was woman.
She must have been model wife, too;
for it cost Adam nothing to keep her in
clothes.
Still don't think she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles and
air her information about everybody
she knew, nor excite the envy of other
ladies by wearing her new winter bon
net to church.
Neither could she hang over the back
fence and gossip with her neighbor.
All these blessed privileges were denied
her.
Poor Eve she's dead agents Her

Select Poetry.
GOLD.

= Gold turks in every aim of life
1t sways the lofty and the lowly,
And shrouds beneath its sable pail
Each aspiration high and holy.
For it, we utter earnest prayer,
And solemn VOWS are made and broken,
And beauty barters faith and hope,
And bitter scathing words are spoken.
Gold cannot add one hours life,
Or buy loves holest caresses
1t cannot stay the silver streak
Time blends with beauty's auburn tresses
1t cannot bring the loved one back,
So rudely torn from our embraces;
II cannot smooth the wrinkled brow
Scored deep with grief's relentless traces.
Gold cannot bring youths ruddy glow
Back to the cheek of fading beauty;
1t cannot hush the still, small voice
That hints of long neglected duty
It cannot heal the broken heart,
Throbbing with some unbounded sorrow;
For words that wiring the soul to-day,
Gold cannot bring relief tomorrow.
Then let us spurn the glittering bribe,
Nor breath for 1t one sigh of'sorrow
Gold can at last but gild the bier,
Or buy the pail that want must borrow,
The lowliest heart in all the land
Is rich indeed beyond all treasure,
If truth and virtue, hand in hand,
Have been through life its rule and measure,

rider beneath the surging waters. The
two came up again and separated. With
violent struggle the horse clambered
up the bank but the man was swept
swiftly down, vainly contending against
the dark and angry food
Days after, the body of a drowned man
was found where It had been borne by
the current. The features were past
recognition, but it was identified by the
garments as that of Bob Lindsay.
Poor Mary was heart-broken. With
all Bob's faults-or rather In spite Of his
one fault--she loved him dearly. And
when the funeral was over, she sat down
In her desolate home, and mourned and
would not be comforted.
When Bob awoke from his stupor and
discovered the plight he was in--money,
horse and raiment all gone-it is i'm
possible to describe his remorse and
shame.
" / can never look Mary in the face
again, - he exclaimed Dodd will be
pitiless. Her home, which she loves so
WE'LL will be sold over her head. No
can never look her in the face again. I"
Clothing himself, perforce, in the rags
left by the robber, he wandered on aim
lessly, and for many days lived like any
other tramp.
But at last change came over his
spirit. 1t was cowardly to desert Mary
thus. He would go back and bear his
share of the trouble, and as much of hers
as he could. Once for all he would be
man, and this time there should be
no slip.
And he turned again towards his
home. AT length he reached the river,
and as he walked along the margin of
the river to find the ford, which lay
somewhere above, his eyes fell on an
object partly imbedded in the mud. He
caught 1t up eagerly and examined it,
An exclamation of joy burst from his
lips, and he pressed forward with re-
doubled speed.
He soon reached the ford which he
passed without difficulty-for the water
had fallen considerably-and at night
fall was at his own door. At the sound
of words within, he paused on the
threshold.
" If could ever love another after
poor Bob," said Mary's broken voice,
"it would never be you ,Dldymus Dodd,
who ought to be ashamed to choose my
% H.
You shall either marry me or leave
this house !" returned the harsh voice
of Didymus Dodd.
"She'll do neither, villain !" thunder
ed Bob, bursting in like shot.
Didymus started as at the sight of a
ghost; but in an instant Mary's arms
were around Bob's neck.
"Oh, Bobl Bob !" she cried, "I
thought you were dead and buried. First
old Roam came without you; then they
found man drowned in your clothes,
and we buried him in your clothes"
Bob's story soon dispelled the mys-
terry.
Didymus Dodd ground his teeth with
fury.
"I'll sell you out all the same," he
growled, spitefully,
=" Not so fast" answered Bob, 1--we
got the money to pay your paltry
mortgage"
"Why, l thought you were rob-
bed ?"
$50 was, bnt 1 found my pocket
book all right today where it was wash
ed from the thief's pocket"
Bob paid off the mortgage and never
drank again; and now he and Mary are
the happiest couple, and one of the best
to-do in all that country.
