and seeing this, he could not doubt but
that she intended to murder him He
sprang from the bed in horror, and no
explanation or entrcaties could convince
him to the contrary. So from that time
there was jaw, jaw, quarreling and
wrangling all the time
With delight the Devil heard of the
faithful emissary, and sent her word it
she would meet him at the end of the
lane at certain time he would pay her
the shoes. At the appointed time she re-
paired to the spot, and found the Devil at
the place. He put the shoes on pole,
and standing on the opposite side Of the
fence, handed them over to her She was
very much pleased with tnem-they were
exactly the article.
:'But there is one thing, Mr.. D.,
would like to have explained; that is,
why you hand them to me on stick
every easy to explain replied he, "any
one who has the cunning and meanness to
do as you have done, don't get nearer
than twenty feet to me-" So saving he
fed in terror.
After while the old woman died. and
when she applied for admittance to the
lower regions, the Devil would not let
her in, for fear she might dethrone him,
as she was his superior. So the old wom-
| an is yet condemned to wander over the
world, creating quarrels and strife in
peaceful families and neighborhoods.
Would you know her name?
1t is Madam Scandal. When she died
the young Scandals were left orphans, but
the Devil, in consideration of past service
done by the mother, adopted them, and
SO you see he is father to that respectable
class called scandle-mongers.
Reader, don't you know some of this
family?

"roUND DROWNED

Sec where she lay there, dead alone,
Stretched on the cold, damp marble-stonc;
Naught but the constant water-drips
That fall upon her upturned lips,
Disturbs the solemn, silent gloom
Which reigns within the cheerless room.
" 'Tis but suicidc!" you say,
And thoughtlessly you turn away;
But could you know the woeful tale
That lies behind that visage pale,
Perhaps you'd turn and heed once more
"Her tale of sorrows full store
Found drowned!"- !"-this is the verdict giv'n
Without thought of how she'd striv'n,
With all her might, to force her way
'Gainst fearful trials, every day
Encountered in her path, and save
Her from watery grave.
You do not know the suffering borne
Ere from this earth herself she'd torn
Upon this cold world cast away,
Mid sin and trouble doomed to stray,
She, to preserve q spotless name,
Had drowned herself. Is she to blame9
10 rest her weary head-no place;
Starvation stares her in the face;
No one kindly hand extends
A>O OilC AcI WIcIclcU lOG UtlElcUuS.
And thus, i'll her sad, friendless state,
Alone she meets her dreaded fate
Cold Charity has closed its door
Quite useless now to struggle more;
So, in her dark and blank despair,
Her pale lips murmur one short prayer,
With eyes upturned to Him who saves,
She leaps into the tossing waves.
And thus Dame Rumor every day
Announces, in casual way.
The story OF a"body found
OF one who probably was drowned;'
But seldom does she ever tell
The sorrows which the wretch befell
Let's pray with universal breath
For one who meets untimely death
Let all the bells of Pity toll
A requiem for the poor's soul,
And maybe God, e'er just and right,
Will bless and make her future bright.
