BURIED TREASURE.

Upon time-I do not know Exactly when, but long ago A man whose riches were untold, Silver and precious stones and gold, Within an Eastern city dweH; But not a moments peace he felt, For fear the thieves should force his door, And rob him of his treasured store. In spite of armed slaves on guard, And doors and windows locked and barred, His life was one continual fright; He hardly slept wink by night, And had so little rest by day, That he grew prematu1ely gray.
 At last Ee dug a monstrous pit To hold his wealth, and buried it By night alone then smoothed the ground So that the spot could not be found. But he gained nothing by his labor; 4 curious, pry Ing, envious neighbor, - : Who marked the hiding, went and told The Sultan where to find the gold. A troop of soldiers came next day, And bore the boarded wealth away.
 Some preci5us jewels still remained, For which-a goodly price he gained, Then left the city, quite by stealth, To save the remnant of his wealth; But now, by hard experience taught, A better way to keep it sought. Broad lands he bought, and wisely titled; With fruits and grain his barns he filled; He used his wealth with liberal hand; His plenty flowed through all the land; And, hid no longer under ground, Spread honest comfort all around.
 Thus calm and prosperous pass the years, Till on fatal day he hears The Sultan's mandate, short and dread, Present myself, or lose thy head" Fearful and trembling, he obeys, For Sultans have their little ways, And wretches who affront their lord Brave bastinado, sack and cord.
 Before the dreaded throne he bowed Where sat the Sultan. grim and proud. And thought, My head must surely fall, And then my master will seize all My wealth again." Butfrom the throne There came calm and kindly tone; {" My son, well pleased am to see Thy dealings in prosperity;
 May Allah keep thee in good health! We'll hast thou learned the use of wealth. No longer buried under ground, Its comforts spread to all around. The poor mans blessings on thy name Are better far than worldly fame. I called the hither. Now, behold, Here are the silver, gems and gold 1 took from thee in other days; Receive them back, and go thy ways, For thou hast learned this truth at last Would that it might be soWn broadcast!- That riches are but worthless pef

IAN IDIOT BOY WITH A MEMORY.

The Pennsylvania State training school
for feeble. minded children, at Media, has
just been visited by correspondent of the
Springfield Republican. He found over
three hundred young idiots under treatment
calculated to make them stronger in mind
and body. There are school rooms holding
from twenty to thirty pupils each. In the
more advanced classes, reading, writing, ar
ithmetic and geography are taught. In
kindergarten, the visitor saw small children
modelling in clay, building block houses,
and weaving paper into fanciful shapes.
Cases of remarkable improvement were re-
lated. The great wonder of the establish
men., however, is thus described: The trite
saying that blood will out is exempliffed
in the idiot savant, who is never found
among the lower orders. A curious case OF
this kind is reckoned among the pupils OF
this school. So remarkable are his powers
of memory that after listening to sermon
or other discourse he is able to repeat it
verbatim, preserving also the Intonations OF
the speaker. At a test of this singular fac
ulty the lad was once taken to Media to at
tend lecture upon some scientific matter,
and the next day was asked to repeat it.
To the astonishment of all he readily re-
peated the entire lecture, rendering Latin
phrases and technicalities as glibly as the
vernacular; yet in in his mentality the re-
Elective power was dull and feeble, and he

Leap Year Law.

The following, from Kulp's Legal Regis
ter will be found to contain several impor-
tant pieces of information
"The law, it is said, takes no notice of
parts of days, and as to the 29th of Feb
rusry, it takes no notice of the whole day i.
For example; Suppose a note is dated ON
the 2Sth of February, 1880, payable one
day from date. Ordinarily it I'D be
payable on the 4th Of March, and so it is
in leap year and not on the 3rd. In
Indiana the question has recently come
before the Supreme court, in respect to the
service of process in 1885, the last leap year.
The law there requires ten days previous
service for the entry OF judgment. In the
case before the court OF judgment was pre-
mature if the 2Sth and Goth OF February
are to be computed as one day. The court
said 1T must be regarded as settled in this
state that the 2Sth and 29th of February in
every bisextile year must be computed and
considered in law as one day. 1t has been

A MYSTERY SOLVED AFTER SiXrY.SEvEN
YEARS.
DEATH. CONFESSION INA POOR HOUSE
EXPLAINS THE FATE OF AARON BURR's
DAUGHTER.

A despatch from Battle Creek, Michigan,
announced the death of an old sailor in the
poor house at Cassopolis, who, in his last
moments told a most remarkable story of
the mysterious fate of Aaron Burrs daugh'
ter, Theodosia Burr Aston, nearly three.
quarters of century ago. Mrs. Alston was
the only daughter Of rtatesman-a woman
of beauty, refinement and most amiable
character. She sailed from Charleston, s.
c., on Dec. 80, 1912, for New York, in the
Patriot. The vessel was never heard from
again. 1t was never known whether she
went down at sea or was captured and de-
stroyed by pirates. The death bed confess
sion of BENJAMIN +. Bendck, the old sail
or mentioned, solves The mystery. Bendick
who has been an inmate tf the Cassopolis
poor house for some time, died New Year s
day. Just before he died he sent for the
keeper and other prsons connected with the
establishment and told them he had con
fession to make. His statement, which wa:
taken in detail by his astonished hearers
was in effect that the Patriot was captured
by a crew OF pirates, of which he was mem
ber, on January 8, 2Sl3. They took pos
session CT the vessel aud forced the captain
crew and passengers to walk the plank.
Mrs. Aston was one of the doomed pas
sengers She begged to be spared, but he
entreaties were unavailing. She dressed
herself all in white, aud with Bible il
her hand, waited calmly, but with blanchet
face, for the fatal order. When it came
she moved silently aud with a steady stel
fiom the group on the deck, clasping tn
Bible to her breast. She stepped upon tn
death plank without tremor. 1t was Ben
dicks lot to pull the plank beneath hel
The dying sailor says the scene has haunte'
him ever since. The white face of the lad
walking calmly to her death was present il
all his dreams, and scarcely ever left hi
thoughts. He expressed penitence for hi
part in the crime, saying he was forced t
obey the decision Of the lot at the peril O
his life.

published in the Toronto papers by Arch =
bishop Lynch, in which he gives the result
of his visit to the people of Ireland, and
appeals for aid for the distressed: "Permit
me to assure the public tina. from personal
view there is widespread distress in Ire
land, and in counties mentioned in the let
ter of her Grace the Duchess of Marlbor-
ough. Starvation stares the people in
the face if they are not relieved. The bish
ops of Ireland testify to the general distress
in those counties. There are at least mil
lion people in that unhappy country who
do not get the ordinary nolrishing food of
peasants of other nations in Europe, and
they are certainly worse clothed. have
seen more women and children barefooted
in Ireland than in England, France and
