HORACE MAYNARDs DISAPPOINTMENT.
Horace took the early train from Albany,
and arrived home some hours sooner than he
had expected to. ItwaS too early to call mp

know that he was breathing the same air that
she breathed and that the Same din and

Six Miles to School.

One of Dickens characters, Mark
Tapley, was noted for being jolly under
difficulties. How many school-boys
would initiate the remarkable Mark and
be jolly if they had to walk six miles to
school and back every day? Yet Sir
Titus Salt, the founder of the model
manufacturing town, S~altaire, used to
do it when a boy of 9 years.
The village in which this young Salt
lived could boast of no better educator
than a woman who kept a dame school.
As the parents of q number of boys
wished to give them a classical and COM
mercial education, they sent their sons
to a school six miles distant, kept by a
clergyman.
The boys started early in the morn
ing, carrying their dinners with them,
Titus being an oatmeal cake and kettle
of milk. In winter he often had to go
in the dark mornings and milk the COW
himself for his daily supply.
But the lads never thought of COM
planning of the length of the journey.
1t was a bracing constitutional, and
they made the road ring with their
CHEEKY voices. They would rendez-
vous at an appointed time and a certain
spot. Those who were in time wrote
their names on a piece of slate. This
was put in a well-known hole in a wall,
that the late-comers might see who had
been punctual and gone on their way.
So far from doing them any harm,
this daily journey strengthened the
boys constitutions and developed their
bodies. When Titus became e man he
had a working-power which enabled
him to do a large amount OF labor with
but slight fatigue.

The Struggle for Life in France.

The dream of every young French
man whose pockets are empty is to
marry a girl who has from $4,000 to.
$4,000, and to earn about e200 q year
for himself by means of a situation af-
fording a fixed salary. 1t is not an IL
travagant dream, and, to do the French
man justice, he is quite happy if he
realizes it. Having got e300 or e400 a
year, he does not seek to enlarge his
income, but lives prudently within his
means, and invests some savings every
year with commendable Judgment. The
very fact, however, that most French
men should pitch their ambition SO low
as to require nothing more than what
an Englishman would call q little COM
Potency shows how keen the struggle
for life here is, and when one reflects
that the thousands of men who covet
the position of petit RENTER are joined
annually by 10000 young recruits fresh
from the schools, and with all their tai
ents whetted according to the newest
systems for the social fray, one cannot
wonder at the largenumber of educated
young men who find their way into
jails. The last annual report of the
Ministry of Justice dwells upon the in
creasing number of well-educated per-
sons who are imprisoned for offenses
against property. M. Victor Hugo and
his friends, who usedto laud education
as the panacea for.all social and polit-
ical ills, may find this a hard fact to di-
gest, butthere it lies; and one may add
that for determination in offenses
against life, as well as in swindling, the
nighly-trained young men who have
been through the best lycees are quite
equal to the uncultured rough-Pall
Mall Gazette.

Treatment Of Scarlet Fever with Sui.
nhur.

The foreign medical journals quite
generally notice the successful treat
ment of scarlet fever by Dr.. 81. Pigeon,
by the use of sulphur. 1t appears that
all the cases in which he employed this
remedy were well marked, and the cpl
dermis on the arms in each case came
away like the skin of a snake. The pa
tient was thoroughly anointed twice
daily with sulphur ointment, and five
or ten grains Of sulphur given ina little
jam three times a day. Sufficient sui
phur was burned twice daily, on Goals
on q shovel, to fill the rooms with the
fumes, and, of course, was thoroughly
inhaled by the patient. DR.. Pigeon ar
serts that, under this mode of treat :
ment, each case improved Immediately
and none were yer eight days in max
ing q complete recovery.

The influence Of Temper on Health.

Our English contemporary, Capital
and Labor, which is generally correct
in its assertions, thinks that, while ex-
cessive labor, exposure to wet and cold,
deprivation of sufficient quantities of
necessary and wholesome food, habitual
bad lodging, sloth, and intemperance
are all deadly enemies to human life,
none of them are SO bad as violent and
ungoverned passions. Men and women
have survived all the former, says the
writer, and at last reached an extreme
old age; but it may be safely doubted
whether a single instance a be found
of a man of violent and irascible tenn
per, habitually subject to storms of
ungovernable passion, who has arrived
at a very advanced period of life. It
is, therefore, a matter of the highest
importance to every one DESTROYS of
preserving "a sound mind in a sound
body" to have a special care, amid all
the vicissitudes and trials of life, to
maintain a quiet possession of his own
spirit.

A Spirited Court Scene.

In Judge Hamilton's Court, at Cleye-
land, Ohio, the other day, a rather I'M
usual and extraordinary scene occurred,
resulting from questions in a cross
examination rejecting upon the charac-
ter of the witness. The witness, Matilda
Sadler, was t~estifying as to the paternity
of her child, and when a question was
pressed rejecting severely up n her
character earlier in life, after a moments
hesitation, she few at the attor, ey with
the ferocity of a tigress, struck him in
the face with her fist and attempted to
choke him. She was taken away by
force and placed in an ante-room, where
she set up a scream. In the afternoon
she again took the witness stand, and
when the.s.repulsiye question was re-
peated, she screamed and rushed for the
window from which she ~endeavored to
jump. Frustrated in this, she set upon
the dsfendent in the suit, crying at the
top of her voice that she would murder
him. The lady belongs to one of the
FIRST families of that community. A
doctor in court stated under oath that
her trouble came from Mysteries.

after, upon being presented to a young

her with a ~"soldierly smack" which il

with an expression of satisfaction on his
face, Chief Ouray arose and said:

whether for or against my people. !
will not tell a lie" was his response to
an in~terrogatory of General Adams. He
gave the anne of twenty Indians,
killed, two missing, and several wounded
in the Thornburg fight. He said that
Ahunterpeenit was the Indian who took

Catharine ReIlley's Murderer Hanged.

Andrew Tracy was hanged last Thurs
day at Smithport, Pa, for the murder
of his cousin, catharine Reilley, in
September of 1873. Tracy was an at
torney at law and one OF his brothers,
a Catholic priest. He had fallen des-
perately in love with his cousin and
they both desired TO marry, but her
father declared he would oppose the
match if it cost him his life. Catholi-
cism is opposed to the marriage o fcous-
ms, except by special dispensation.
Traey's brother also opposed the mar
rage. The girl gave up the thought
and in turn became engaged % another.
Andrew Tracy hearing of this, while
Miss Reilley was walking with a
companion, he approached her stealthily
from behind, and placing a revolver to
her temple, shot her dead. He has
paid the penalty according to law.
