to1erably certaiu, Payne will not be pardoncd.

He Was on Hand. :.

It was dark in the depot one day last week when the evening train came in. An elderly farmer was backed up against the partition, watching in open-mouthed wonder the big puffing engine, and the yellow-covered cars as they discharged their passengers, when @ handsome young girl in sealslzin cloak dashed for ward, and throwing herself upon the honest granger's manly breast, imprinted kiss upon his sun-burned cheek, and exclaimed:
 "You dear old pa, I knew you would be waiting for me ! And how's mother, and how's Jennie, and how's John-and oh I'm so glad to get back-and where's my trunk-and oh /! pa, you take the check and let's hurry.''
 The granger was old and kind of dried up, and he had never known what it was to have wife, much less daughter. He mistrusted the young lady in the seal skin sack had made mistake, but in- stead of stammering and hemning and having, he came gallantly up to the scratch, and throwing both arms around the fair creature, he made up his mind to be a father to her or die in the at tempt. Imprinting kiss like the report of pistol on her cheek, he enthusiast cally calculated:
 "Oh, yer mothers well, an John an Henry an (smack) an Jane an Susan (smack, smack, an Horace an Belindy an Calvin (smack) an Joshua an Peter, (smack, smack oh, they're all smart an hearty an'-''
 By the time the young lady's friends could get her, she had slid into stony faint, and they had to lug her home in a hack, while the aged granger, as he finished the third round with her outraged young man, and sauntered out of the depot, leaving him with bad eye and a ruptured coat, chuckled to himself:

A Horse Story.

A farmer wanted team horse, pro- cured one on trial, the animal being rep resented as all right. He drove him to the village, when gentleman whom he knew by sight, but to whom he had never spoken, said: eff you own that horse I advise you to get rid of him as speedily as possible, or he will do you mischief. '" The farmer loaded up his team and started for home, the horse showing an ugly temper as he crossed the railroad track; but he got on fairly with him, stopped and tied him up for time when not far from home upon restarting the horse did his best to run but was con- trolled. Upon nearing brook he all at once stopped, looked all round, and then started again just as he had fairly got upon the bridge, like flash he swung to the left, backed viciously and dumped wagon, load and farmer into the stream, the horses hind-quarters and his back also being covered with water. Our in- formant says that if an animal ever measured with his eye where to put a load to do himself the most good, " tat horse did. Suffice it to say he pl fed no further tricks upon our friend.

Saved By His Skates.

An old Lake Superior trapper, named Thomas Judson, was once surrounded by 8 band of fierce Indians from whom he expected no good. While making free with his outfit, they found pair of skates among his other trappings, and were immensely puzzled to know what to make efsthemt
 A ;fdnny thought seemed to occur to the hunter as he saw their curiosity, for his grey eye twinkled merrily.
 # Ice moccasin, , he said, putting skate to his foot, and then made with his hands the gliding motion that the feet take in skating.
 F- "Ugh!' grunted the Indian chief, pointing to the-narrow blade of the skate, and shaking his head. As they were near the ice, Thomas proposed to fasten them on young brave for trial
 The Indians welcomed the plan with glee, for, though savages, they were great lovers of sport. Selecting the bravest and swiftest young fellow, the chief bade him stick out his feet, which he did rather suspiciously.
 The skates were soon strapped on, and the young buck helped to his feet. The ice was like glass, and as he started to move, you know what happened. His feet flew from under him, and down he came with 8 crack Such shouts of laughter as the rest set up! The young fellow was gritty, and scrambled up to try it again, but with the same result.
 The chief now signalled the hunter to show ~&them how. the things worked Thomas fastened on the skates with great care, picked up his rifle and used it as a cane, pretending to support himself.
 He moved awkardly, fell down, got up and stumbled around, the Indians all the time laughing and capering at the sport. l Gradually Thomas stumbled little fur ther away, whirling about, and making believe it was very hard work to keep his balance, until he was near the point where the smooth lake ice stretched miles and miles away.
 Suddenly gathering hims elf up, he grasped his rifle firmly, gave war-whoop as wild as the Indians own, and dashed up the lake like an arrow, skating as he 1 had never skated before If he had dis I appeared in the air, the Indians couldn't | have been more astonished. Of course they couldn't hope to catch him, over the glassy ice, and they stood gaping after him, wondering more and more at the magic ice moccasins."
 Nothing pleased old Thomas more in after years than to tell how he "fooled the redskins. ."--Golde1e Rule.

An Admiral Punished.
HE SENDS WORTHLESS SHIP TO SEA, AND
 IT IS NEVER HEARD FROM.

Formerly the Spanish mails were car ried from the Philippine Islands to Hong. Kong in crazy old men-of-war detailed for that purpose. Not long since says Kennebecker, in one of his letters to the Boston Jounal, one, which was com pletely run out and hauled off, met the fate of the "Fire-Dart, and "thereby hangs tale." The Admiral of the sta ton expected his daughter out, and in order to show his love for her, ordered the regular steamer to be detained trip, that her accommodations might be made more fitting for the distinguished passen- ger. The officer in command was sum- moned, who being told by the Admiral of the station that he desired repairs upon his steamer to be made, ordered him to make the intermediate trip in the Esmer- aida, the worthless ship. The officer un- dertook to remonstrate; told his superior of the rotten condition of the old ship.
 "Are you afraid, sir?" sternly asked the Admiral "No, your honor, not afraid, but a just feeling for the safety alone de- mands, on account of valuable lives and treasure to be put under my charge, that I should speak," Proceed to sea in the Esmeralda, sirp' was his order. He did. In Hong Kong he found the Admiral s daughter, to give her father an agreeable surprise, had come out trip ahead, and insisted upon making the voyage over to Manila in the Esmeralda. The captain gave way, and proceeded to sea. Among his passengers was our countryman, the gallant Captain Nath. Hinsman of Salem, whose ship was in Hong Kong, and he started for. Manila to engage cargo for her. The Esmeralda was never again heard of! The naughty Admiral was awfully punished for his wicked, arbitrary stubbornness in sending that miserable vessel to sea. About the time his grief for the loss of his child was greatest, a strange lady with child came to the door and demanded admittance. She was dressed in deep black and heavily yelled Slowly approaching the stricken man, she threw back her veil and said: "I have come to summon you to the bar of God for the loss of my husband, whose soul went out of the world unshriven p Then she passed solemnly out. Her de- meanor was awful to behold, and struck him with ghastly force. Perhaps he saw other ghastly faces around him summon ing him to that terrible tribunal. In six months from that day his door swung open, and the yelled lady and child stood before him. 'I have come to summon you to the bar of God for the soul of my husband that lies unshriven! It was your act, and challenge you before God for nay husband, and always shall ?" Then she passed out It was more than he could bear, and the terror stricken man shortly afterward left for Spain, rather than endure such torture This part of the tale relate as told to me by highly respectable gentleman residing in Manila, we'll known for his integrity. The rest of it know to be true.

The Man who Likes It.

There is man in town who likes to hear himself talk, and thinks the time wasted when anybody else is speaking. If he is standing he looks away to the ceiling or turns to the table and engages his attention in some tri1e; his mouth is never quite shut, and he is always in the attitude of holding his breath more or less in order that he may start in at the very first opportunity. He always re- minds one of the boys with their fire crackers on the Fourth of July. It is not that they care so much about the noise; the noise in any case is veryEmuch alike and great nuisance but the great point with each one is that he shall make it; that's where the enjoyment seems to come in; the fire crackers that other boys throw, they are quite different, but when their own are fzzing they watch them with the utmost interest.

 \ All was explained, and I was happy alsas.ain; and the next day! Oh, what a happy day it was The sea fortunately abated. Murray came out with the well come news that darling Agnes was better, and that evening we all went ashore in the highest spirits. The glad intelli- gence of her faithful swain's return was gently conveyed to her, and she at once got so bright and happy, that we de- clared she had been "shamming" all the time; and when, three days after ward, she and Frederic were allowed to see each other-well, the meetingis beyond the power of my poor pen to describe.
 Nothing now presented any obstacle to their. engagement being announced.

FOR ALI WHO DIE.

GThis poem, written by "StelIa" (NIrs. EsteIl Ann Lewis) at the age of fourteen, Poe said " IS the most beautiful bsllad of the kind eve written. We have read it, he remarked, s'mor than twenty times, and always with increaset admiration."l It has been said, For an who die
 There is tear; some plninS, bleeding heart to sigh
 Der every bier;'' but, In that h0ar of pain and dread,
 Who will draw near L=- Around my humble couch, and shaJ
 One farewell tear? Who'd watch ife's last departing ray
 h deep despair, And soothe my spirit, on it's way,
 With holy prayer? What morner, round my bier, will come,
 In weeds of woe, And follow me to my long home, x Solemn and slow? ~ When lying on my clayey bed,
 In icy sleep, Who there, by pure affection led,
 Will come and weep; By the pale moon implant the rose
 Upon my breast, And bid it cheer my dark repose,
 My lonely rest? Could but know, when I am sleeping,
 Low in the ground, One faithful heart would there be keeping
 Watch all night around, As if soms gem lay shrined beneath
 That sod's pale gloom, Twoul3 miti gate the bangs of death
 And light the tomb. Yes in that hour could feel,
 From halls of glee, And beauty's presence, one could steal
 In secrecy, And come, and sit, and weep by me
 In nights deep noon, Oh would ask of memory
 No other boon. But, ah. loneier flte is mine,
 A deeper woe From all loyed ia.youth's sweet time E Isoon must go; Draw round me robes of white
 In 9 dark spot, To sleep through death's long dreamless night, Lone and forgot.

A RUSSIAN SToRY.-A singular story comes from St. Petersburg regarding the explosion at the Winter Palace. It is said that carpenter who was at work in the building at the time of the outrage has been arrested, and turns out to be the son of nobleman. He is believed to have assumed the disguise of an arti- san in order to participate in the plot. If this statement is correct, it will con- firm the current belief that Nihilism has taken deep root among the upper classes, and that many of the blows which have been struck have been directed by the discontented nobles and not by the op- pressed populace.
