Bows and Pistols.


at never could understand" the
Deacon said, "why boy should carry
a pistol. A pistol is very peculiar
fire-army it is made for very peculiar
purpose. 1t is quito natural for some
boys to want rifles or shot-guns, with
which they may kill game, but pistol
is intended to kill human beings, and
tkis is about all it is good for. There
are very few boys in this country who
could shoot bird or a rabbit with q pis-
tol, and any one who should go ont
hunting with pistol would be laughed
at This being the case, why should 3
boy want a pistolp What human beings
would he like to killP
ss 1t is useless to say that he may need
his pistol for purposes of defense. Not
one boy in thousand is ever placed in
such a position that he need defend him
self with pistol. But it often has hap
pened that boys who carried loaded pis-
tolls thought that it would be manly
thing, under certain circumstances, to
use them, and yet, when the time came
and they killed somebody, they only
brought down misery on themselves
and their families. And this, too, in
many q case where, if no one present
had had pistol, the affair would have
passed off harmlessly, and been soon
forgotten.
IS But the way in which boys generally
take human life with pistols is some ac-
cidental way. They do not kill high
waymen and robbers, but they kill their
school-mates, or their brothers, or their
sisters, or, in many cases, themselves.
There is no school where boys are
properly taught to handle and carry
loaded pistols, SO they usually have 10
learn these things by long practice. And,
while they are learning, it is very likely
that some one will be shot. saw in
newspaper, not long ago, accounts OF
three fatal accidents, all of which hap
pened on the same day, from careless
use of firearms. And one of these dread
full mishaps was occasioned by lad
who carried loaded pistol in his over
coat pocket, and who carelessly threw
down the coat.
"And then, again, a boy ought to be
ashamed to carry pistol, especially q
loaded one. The possession of such a
thing is proof that he expects to 60
among vicious people. If he goes into
good society, and has honest, manly fell
lows for his companions, he will not
need pistol. Aloaded pistol in boys
pocket is not only useless and danger
Gus, but also it almost always stamps
him as bad boy, or one who wishes to
associate with bad boys and vicious
men. ''-iSt. Nicholas.

Exemplary Damages.

A very remarkable and exemplary
award has been made to DR.. Charles w.
Hackett, plaintiff in the United States
Circuit Court at Boston. He entered q
car of the Eastern Railroad last Octo-
Der, and was forced to stand, no seat
being vacant in the cars to which he
could gain access, although a locked
car entirely empty was attached to the
same train. In rounding a sharp curve
he was thrown against a stove, and re-
ceived nervous injuries which paralyzed
the entire lower portion of his person.
There is no hope of his return to health.
The jury has given him a verdict de-
creeing that the Eastern Railroad shall
pay to him $39, 500, an amount Of dam
ages unprecedented in the annals of
similar litigation.-C Chicago Tribune.

They had suffered most in the five
years that their lives had been separated,
Tor the widow had been matron in q
large hospital, while Hester worked as
governess in Mrs. Evans's family. Be-
fore her fathers death there had been q
home. happy and united; but afterwards
poverty drove them upon the world.
Mother" Hester said, softly, "I
have saved something in these long
years, and we will settle ourselves here
and try to earn living together"
Yes. dear. ltook the house furnish
ed, for month, thinking if Oliver came
home willing to work for an honest liv-
ing, we should get ON somehow. I had
saved a little, too, Hester, for him, and
he will not need it."
"Hushi You must not weep now.
Remember how happily he died, moth
er, the stain lifted FROM his memory, his
heart e. peace. He was ready to go,
mother. My poor brother!"
Softly the tender lips pressed the dead
mans forehead before Hester led her
mother away from the room. They had
not crossed the narrow passage to the
parlor when the door-bell rang, and
Hester opened the door, to face Alfred
Graves.
Before she could speak he entered,
closing the door behind him and ad-
vancing to the widow, who stood inside
the little parlor.
'sMrs. Stretton,' he said, lifting his
hat, al have just heard of your sorrow,
and have come to ask you to let me
aid you in any way where gentleman's
services may be required. 1 am the
brother of Mrs. Evans"
You are very kind,'' the widow fall
tered. "We-as you SAVIOUR
trouble"
And here the tears stihed utterance,
and she could only turn from him and
weep.
Hester lifted her eyes appealingly, to
meet Alfred's fixed upon her face.
"There is no longer a secret between
us, HESTER" he said in low tone. "Will
you not give me the right of loving
SON to comfort your motherp''
"You know sll," she said, surprised,
sand you are here!"
"I do" he answered, gravely; Sand
knowing your noble reason for once re-
fusing me, am here to ask again the
question asked one summer morning
not long ago. Even as L loved you then,
1 love you now. Hester, will you be my
wife?"
And she, loving him tenderly, with
the secret of her life revealed, the crime
wiped out by death, put her hand in his
and let his lips press the seal of betroth-
al on her own.
To the world Hester's secret is secret
still. Society does not connect the tall,
stately bride of Alfred Graves with the OBJ
scure convict who came from prison only
to die; and even Mrs. Evans was never
tod of any mystery or sorrow resting
upon the life of her former governess,
or the quiet widow, who shares the
Graves's mansion and finds peaceful
haven in her daughters love and the re-
spectful attentions of man who fills a
sons place to her.-English Magazine.

THE CONvICT,s SISTER.

III have told you there is secret in
my life l can share with no one. Let
me go my way and you yours, for we
could never be happy with cloud OF
mystery between U.S.
In other words, you refuse mel"
There was quick resentment in Al
fred Graves's tones, for the refusal of the
woman he loved to be his wife was a
blow at once to his heart and his varity.
He was not conceited man, but when
he offered his hand to his sisters gov
erness he certainly did not expect a re-
fusai- There had been many meetings
before he spoke, and in some of them he
had thought Hester Stretton's face be-
trayed her love for him, in spite of the
cold manner that was habitual to her.
Scarcely man to measure his own
merits by the length of his purse, AL
fred Graves could not quite forget that
he was owner of a fine estate in the
country, several houses in town and five
thousand year, while Hester Stretton
was his sisters governess. She had
come to Mrs. Evans from female SEM
mary, with letters of Introduction; had
proved herself trustworthy with the chill
dren; and no one had any desire to pry
into her private affairs during the whole
of the first two years.
Mrs. Evans considered her q treasure,
and the children were much attached to
her and progressed rapidly.
Then Alfred came back from abroad,
and his sister, offering him the hospital
ity of her house at Guildford, suddenly
made several discoveries. First, she
found out that although the family had
thought and spoken of her brother as an
old bachelor, after all, at 40 he looked
younger than some men under 80. Next
that Hester Stretton, though she was
reserved, was wonderfully fair, and
could converse with Alfred long after
the topics were quite beyond the elder
lady's comprehensive
The old, old story progressed, day af
ter day, and she could find nj. good rea-
reason for sending Hester away, and
surely Alfred was not to be turned away
from her house. Mrs. Evans was con-
stantly devising schemes for shutting
Hester in the schoolroom, for sending
her long errands and employing her
time in needlework. But if Alfred
would lounge into the school-rooom and
insist upon hearing his nephews and
nieces recite long poems while he made
pencil sketches of Hester's profile; if he
would join her just as she started on
the long errands, and was seized with
desire to read in the very room where
the needlework was in progress, what
could q prudent sister do more?
1t was some comfort that the s'infat-
uation." as Mrs. Evans mentally term
ed it, was all on one side; that the pale
face never flushed at his coming or the
soft, dark orbs wooed him to her side
But Mrs. Evans could not believe it pos
sible for Alfred to offer his hand and
fortune to any woman and be rejected.

The Two Wishers.

Out in the street. this winters day,
A brawny man is shoveling snow;
Steadily there he works away
With muscular arms and face aglow,
Glad to earn a pittance for pay,
Shoveling OF the snow.
Unto eyes that can only see
The tangible outward, here is one
J., Who suffers the stings of poverty,
Who YEARLY drudges from sun to sun,
Whose shackled hours are never free
Whose work is never done.
For ragged he Is, and scantily clad,
And one would be willing to hazard the
guess
Tnaf meat and bread are not to be had
BY him and his in Righteousness;
For all his life he has shoveled through
The drifts of want and Distress
Yet keener vision might detect
Some priceless things which belong to
him:
Muscles of iron, form erect,
An eye that is never glazed or dim,
And the rich, hot blood of perfect health
Coursing through body and limb
Now, across the street from the shoveler
stands
A stately mansion, built of stone,
And there, in the window, with folded hands
pale-faced man looks ont alone
Looks out at the laborer over the way,
At the snow his shovel has thrown
5 Exotic plants in the window bloom,
Shut I'm by curtains of finest lace
And scattered about the spacious room
Are all things which befit the place;
A poor man might subsist a year
On the cost of that Sevres vase.
Resting moment, the shoveler sees
The face in the window across the street
And he thinks: could 1 live like that at
my ease,
With nothing to do and plenty to eat,
With money and servants and all at COM
mand,
Then surely would life be sweetp
And he YEARLY signs as he turns again
To the work unfinished that waits his
hands;
But his sigh is echoed in sharper pain
By him who has called it forth, who stands
watching the 1aborer. while he thinks:
Houses and money and lands
All that have of power or wealth.
would freely give If could but know
The rarer riches of strength and health;
Yes. all on the laborer there I'd bestow,
Ii 1, like him. could go out in the street,
And shovel OF the snowY

An artist went to his doctor for a

The evening the artist set to work. His
artistic fancy got the better of him. He
sketched landscape with river in
the foreground, mountains in the back
ground and introduced bits of still life.
"Have you not finished?" said the wife
impatiently. "Yes," he replied; " one

The United Kingdom in the Year
1878.

In the.year 1873 there were 1,152,525
births registered in the United Kingdom,
being at the rate of 81 per 1000 of the
estimated population, which was 33,
1871, 1866 in the middle of that year. The
deaths registered in the United King
dom in 1878 were ZIG, 165, or 21.1 per
1000 population. The natural increase
of population by excess of births over
deaths was 436, 800, or 40, 242 less than
the excess of 1877. The actual increase
of population in 1873 can not be ascer-
tanned, owing to there being no COM
plete records showing the balance be-
tween emigration and immigration.
The Board of Trade report the emigra-
ton from the United Kingdom in 1873
of 1884 persons of British origin, be-
ing an increase of 25 per cent. over the
unusually small emigration of 1877.
The increase in 1878 was % per cent. in
English, 81 in Scotch, and 81 in Irish
emigrants. OF the 113, 439 British emil
grants in 1873 there were 1865 who
left for the United States, ,O57 for the
Australian colonies, and 10, 697 for Brit
ish North America, each of these num-
bers showing q marked increase over
the preceding year. The mean temper
AZURE of 1873, as shown at Greenwich
Observatory, exceeded the average in
every one of the first ten months of the
year, but there was q marked deficiency
in November aud December; the mean
for the year was 49.7 deg, or 1.2 deg.
above the last thirty-seven years. aver
age. The rainfall at Greenwich in 1873

1G6 days; this rainfall exceeded the
average by nearly four inches. The

In closed sleeping-apartment the
atmosphere becomes more contaminated
every minute, because carbonic acid
gas, a deadly poison, is generated in the
lungs and is expired at each breath, and
combining with the moisture it is
heavier than the common air, and set
ties near the floor, hence, the last thing
man should sell is his bedstead; but
in reality it is considered by the igno-
rant and unfortunate poor as the most
indispensable thing in the house, hence
sickness is soon added to their poverty,
a most unhappy combination.
