The poor suffering face seemed to
grow more pinched as she answered,
sobbing as she spoke:
Father was taken away three years
ago. He can't come back and help us;
he would if he could" III D..
"Why can't he come back?"
"Oh he is at Joliet in the prison"
and she broke into vail and then into
uncomfortable weeping
Then there was q long silence, for
who could be so calm as to ply the
wretched girl with questions when her
grief was 80 painful? H.
Next day I saw the mother. I heard
the story of their sorrows and wrongs.
It was an old story. For that story is
not new in this age. The father and
husband was arrested upon suspicion,
simply because he was accidentally hsar
when q man was struck with an iron
bar. The aggressor escaped, and, as no
one else could be punished, the officers
concluded that they could not be foiled,
and hence locked the innocent man up.
Circumstances pointed toward him as
the assailant, and the explanation he
gave was regarded as so much stuff.
His trial came on; the. State was anx-
ious to convict some one that day, and
fixed on this poor fellow The accused
had no money, and no one volunteered
to defend him. He was convicted and
sent down to Joliet for six years. That
was the sad story of the wife, and it was
a true story, as verified by others. and
since by undisputed facts.
The guilty man afterwards admitted
his participation in the crime, to the
wife of the wronged one; but when che
told her story to the officers of the law,
no one had time or disposition to rem
dersany help, or take step to right the
great wrong. Fer four long years he
had suffered in prison, and all the while
a wretched family suffered on in the
depths of poverty and want. The sad
experience of that poor woman was
enough to melt heart Of stone. The
first year of the fathers incarceration,
the fayorite child, and the most delicate
one, was carried to the cemetery The
next year the youngest went, and the
mother and wife, with her load of grief,
went on, toiling and starving through
the years of woe and want. A few
months ago the wronged man was re-
leased. But he was not the same man.
His hair was gray, and q great blight
and sorrow seemed always about his
face and his heart. And no wonder,
People are not made of iron. Human
hearts are not like wood as to feeling.
This mans whole life is blasted. And
he was innocent. If he had had money
his innocence would have been made
manifest at the trial. e. - = ?
He was poor, and he suffered. Others
suffered with him.
He is "a free man now, but what re-
dress is there for him? He was away
when want and poverty bore his dar-
ling children to the grave. No time can
heal that. Can there be any redress
for this?
And yet if philanthropic men or
women interest themselves in these
matters to any degree, we find scores
Of people ready to pronounce them en-
thusiasts. Well, they can afford to be
called enthusiasts. They have their
reward. and that reward is worth more
than the millions that Vanderbilt left
behind him. 3

How IT CAME.

The reason why Now Jersey was frs,
called foreign country is said TO be a.
subl,ined: After the downfall of the
hrst Napoleon, his brother Joseph. who
had been King Of Spain. sought refuge
10 this country. and brought much
wealth with him. Joseph Bonapsrts
wished To build pslatial residence
here but did not wish TO become .
citizen. rs be hoped to return to Europe.
TO en,ble him. as an alien. to hold real
estate. required a special act of the
Legislature. He tried to get one pa ,sed
Tor his brneft 10 several State, but
failed. He was chagrined, esp. eiaily
because Penn-ylvsnis refused. Then
he applied to the New jersey Legi.la-
ture, which body granted him the
privilege of purchasing land he
bought . tract ut Bordentown. and
bnilt a magnificent dwelling. Rsre
paintings. statuary. etc. were profuse.
and selected with great care. aud the
ground laid out IN exquisite taste.
Bonaparte's residence was perhaps the
finest IN America. People from all
parts 81 the country visited him and
were treated courteously. &c was lib
eral with his money aud gave great i'm

he used it to benefi, business generally.

they refused TO let him locate among
themselves. aud would taunt Now Jer.

Across tho Continent.

Charles Sanger with his family arrived at
Cleveland, Ohio, n few days ago, having
crossed the continent in u two horse wagon.
MIR. Sanger was II former resident of Clcve-
land. lie left about six years ago for Los
Angeles, Cal, where he lived over four
years. While in California, Sanger did a
good business rs an architect and contractor;
but building being lrillc dull, and his wife
and family being homcsick, he determined
to return to Ohio. lie procused strong
spring wagon, into which he packed the
little personal property the family would
need on the trip, and at the same time
leaving room for himself, wife and four
children, the eldest being boy of Is years.
The party travelled very lcisurcly mt first,
wintcring at Yrcka, Cal. The start from
Ireka was made last Alny, the party having
spent most Of their time at this point fish,
ing and hunting, laying in provisions for
their long trip. From Yrcka to Fort Steel
it was found necessary to use four horses in
drawing tho wagon and its load, owing to
the rough and mountainous roads. From
the latter point to Clcavcland the trip, with
only two horses, was comparatively pleas
ant and easy. Occasional stops were made
Tor hunting, etc., but tho journey was
pushed to an end as rapidly as possible.
While in the mountains several intcl csting
though bloodless aflrays were had with
grizzly bears and other playful animals.
Bands of Indians were frequently seen, but
the little party was left unnolcstcd. The
trip from Los Angeles to Cleveland was
made in four months: including all stops on
the road. When son the move tho party
averaged about 20 miles day.

An aged gentleman and his housckcepcr
constitute household in Yarmouth, Maine,
and their old cat finds the lines arc fallen
to her IN pleasant places. Family prayers
arc the rule each evening in the
household, and the cat fell into the
habit of regular and punctunl attcndancc.
No other Of the cares that provcrbially
crowd cats life was ever allowed to crowd
this religious duty. At the signal for pray
ers she would even leave mouse half
caught, or give a doomed bird a longer
lease Of existence, and dccorously compose
herself in The lap OF the housckccpcr, with
an air of attention to the service that was
highly ctlifying. At the final "anlcn' she
went frislily about her business. But in m
evil day there came kitten that was deem
ed snperiuous, and sentence of death was
passed upon it. The head of tho fnmily
undertook the execution Of The sentence
and, unknown to him, the cat was n wit
ness OF the scene. From that day the cat
refused to attend the morning service, and
cannot now be induced to listen to the
prayers of one who had 80 shocked her SELL
sibiltics. She faithfully performs all other
duties as before, and socially purrs for the
family on all secular occasions, but seems
