threw up earth works for the protection of his little army. He made his men spirited har- angue, and then attacked the soldiers In but fought like private in his army.
 He was everywhere, he did everything. Three times he rallied his disordered follow CTS, and brought them back to the charge; flaming with rage when he found they could not break the line of the. enemy At last, af- ter furious fighting, the three divisions of his little band were scattered almost at the same moment, and Mandrin saw them taken, scat tered, aud sailn. He made his escape at first, but fortune deserted him; one of his own band betrayed him., He was taken in the night after the battle, bound from his head to his heels, and carried into Valence, May 10, 1755. Five of hls comrades were confined 'withrhim in the prison of the Superior Court.
 All was now over. He saw at once that this time there was nc hope for him. He re- signed himself to death and met his end with courage, having confessed his various crimes. 1t was thought at the time that he was really penitent.- He looked upon the scaffold with out emotion, but without bravado, and made dying speech to the spectators, as was the custom in those days.
 He was broken on the wheel, May 26, 1755, in the forty second year of his age. A man of his noble physical organization, and in the prime of life, could not die easily, 'but he gave up his life at last" 7" says his biographer, who, in common with all Frenchmen, has no humanitarian sympathies with criminals, "with his eyes fixed upon that Heaven which drowned upon his many crimes c-, cr..,a.T

Lessons in Astronomy.

The world is round and frozen at both
ends. 1t has two principal poles, the North
Pole, South Pole, and several millions Of
telegraph poles, BARRIERS poles, liberty poles,
fish poles, bean poles and pol-taxes. The
North Pole has been lost for some time and
they are now looking for ii. Everybody
knows where IL is, yet no one can get hold
II. Nobody cares 10 look for the South
Pole. The earth has several revolutions
one daily around It's own axis one yearly
around the sun, one every six months in
Cuba, one every two years in Mexico, about
dozen yearly In the South American
States and one every twenty years in France
The earth gets some heat from the sun and
good deal from coal stoves and furnaces;
II Is also ltup by the sun, assisted at night
occasionally by the moon, as well as gas, tai
low and kerosene.
The earth is assisted in business by the
moon. Tho moon regulates the tides and
spells dead fish when they are exposed to
its rays. The suns light Is first shst at tho
moon and from thence caroms on the earth.
The moon is also very irregular in its habits.
II INDUCES in too many horns, and once
month gets very full. The earth is much
hotter inside than out, and II properly bored,
and bored deep enough, people might get
all the heat they wanted from It's bowels.
The earth is ON fire in many places, but
there Is no insurance. The earth has chronic
inflammation ofits own bowels. Two-thirds
of the earth is covered with water, owing TO
u slight freshet 1000 years ago. Where
there Is no water there is land unless
there Is crocodile or a"stalwart' suning
themselves on rocks. Thee has but one
atmosphere, which is generally good, except
when tho wind blows from "Texas," or
somebody uncorks benzine bottle.
The earth does not put on airs, but ain
arc put ON the earth. The principal products
Of the earth are men, women, children,
Presbyterians, Cinnamon, taxes, newspapers,
lawyers, Methodsts,s editors, Dutchmen,

NOTHINGS.

Only some withered blossoms,
Crumbling to dry decay;
Only glove half torn in two
And idly thrown away;
Only heart that's breaking
That is, if hearts could break
Only a man adrift for life,
All for woman's sake.
Only few such tokens
Priced by IA love-sick fool,
Naught but the ashes that strewAhe ground
When loves hot flame grows cool.
Not the first man by thousands
The dupe of heartless flirt;
Not the first time that priceless love
Was treated like common dirt.
Only in jest You know it
Now, though it's rather late;
Rather too late to turn in your life
And seek another fate.
You're nota man, like thousands,
With heart that will veer and twirl
And feel glow at the word and glance
OF every flirting girl.
Finished forever and done;
Wrecked by a treacherous smile;
Following madly will-o'-thc-wisp,
Happy, if but for a while.
Only IA heart that's broken
That is, if hearts could break;
Only man adrift for life,
All for womans sake

Home Teaching.

Why is it that so many children Of
cultivated parents are allowed to dis.
ponse with, in so great a degree among
themselves, the many little forms of po-
liteness? ? Why is it that so many chill
dren of educated parents are allowed to
grow up making so many errors in
grammar and the use of language in
daily conversation Why are they not
taught to say, ''if you please" and
"thank' you," and not use the double
negative2
| suppose it is because their elders
consider it less trouble to let them 30 OH
in this way than to correct them. But
surely it must be easier to teach them
what is right at first, than to correct all
these faults as they grow older; for it is
much harder to break off a habit than to
form it. All these things that are over
looked in childhood, will be mortifying
to them as they grow up and this might
be avoided by little more pains on the
part of parents and teachers These
matters should not be neglected in child
hood; for even when the young readily
see wherein their errors lie, it is very
hard for them to correct themselves, for
the habits formed in youth often follow

it and ate it. They hunted and ate men,

the one from the other, and never mis-
took men for monkeys Mr.. Stanley,
however, brought home the skulls of
