aged to escape from the burning city.
Having remained on the barricades to
the last he had no time to change his
clothes and was consequently obliged to
wander about the whole day in kept and
regimentals, with his sword dangling by
his side. Toward evening, however,
he fell in with shepherd, good -natured
almost to idiocy, and knowing nothing
whatever Of politics. The two men en-
tered into conversation and at the end
of half an hour the refugee, necessarily
haunted by the fear of seeing the gem
darmes make their appearance, proposed
an exchange of costume to the ssyokel."
Naturally dazzled by the splendor of
the Others military garb. the country
man jumped ct the offer, never
dreaming of the danger he in
CURED in DOMINIC his companions at
tire.
The exchange was carried out. The
two men undressed, redressed and
parted. The archaeological made for
Paris, wearing q blouse, canvas trousers
and = straw hat. The real Simon Pure,
on the other hand, calmly went on
minding his sheep, presenting rather
homogeneous aspect with the sword
hanging by his side and the crook in his
hand.
What might have been naturally ex-
pected to happen actually occurred. A
patrol came across the unlucky shep-
herd and asked him for explanations
about his costume, and these not being
deemed altogether satisfactory the
countryman was taken into custody, and
ultimately led off to Satory to go before
court-martial there.
The unfortunate wretch, who had no
one to speak word for him, either did
not know, or was so dazed that he
could not remember his birthplace, and,
in the end, was sentenced to transpor-
tation to the lie des Pins. Amiot as the
man is named, was accordingly sent,
and by August, 1873, he had not been
pardoned. One of his fellow convicts
lately wrote to say that "Amiot was
awaiting the termination of q punish
ment which he did not understand, and
was expiating crime which he had had
no thought of committing" Unluckily,
he was condemned for life, and whether
since pardoned or not we are ignorant.
He may possibly be considered q dam
gerous character. Perhaps his very
imbecility is taken for Discrimination.
Be this as it may, his story, while it has,
undoubtedly, q ludicrous side, is at the
bottom horribly sad and grave, and APP
pears to us calculated to cause reflection
to those who insist on the justice of re-
preston and the necessity for refusing
an amnesty. -Pdsis RapDel.

The National Journal Of Edalca-
ton contains the following excellent
article, from which great many
teachers ought to derive considerable
profit: The almost universal custom
of a whole class Of school children
thrusting out their hands, swapping
their fingers, and resolving themselves
into mob at every mistake in reading
and recitation, would be tolerated
nowhere in a civilized community
outside the school.room, No better
expedient could be devised to brighten
the timid, exasperate the quick-tem-
pered, and paralyze the spirit of all
but the st0utest.hearted child in the
recitation.room. It stimulates the
critical spirit into public nuisance of
an intolerable carping at all human
infirmities. But it is utterly opposed
to the true spirit of the schoolroom,
which ought to be spirit of helpful
ness, fOrbearAnce, and encouragement
to the slow and timid and feeble. min
ded. There are surely good ways
enough Of holding the attention of
class, or correcting the errors of a rec
itation, without tolerating habit so
disagreeable to the locker on and 50 de.
structive of good manners and Christ

!" memory OF Mary Edgar Of Nortl,
Star. ny Agnes A Egam.
Our darling she has left US here
To sorrow and to weep;
She laid her head upon my breast,
And gently fell asleep.
Size closed her eyes, to waken
And to bless our sight no more,
For the angels beckoned to her
From that distant unknown shore
She followed at their bid ding:
We listen now in vain
For her merry childish laughter.
That we'll never hear again,
When round our sad and lonely hearth
We gather every night;
We miss her dear familiar face
So rosy and 90 bright.
We miss her many pretty ways.
There's grief In every heart,
Our souls were wrung with anguish,
When we knew that we must part
From such q precious treasure.
Cold is her lovely brow!
Her lips are white and still in death;
Que Is Win the angels nOWs
Twomonths have passed since We beheld
Her form Of girlsh grace,
When the light Of heavenly beauty
First shone upon her face.
Sill we remember, ali, 50 WELL
That child we loved 80 dear;
We never, never can forget
Her voice so fresh and clear,
No more in the fields, now bright ana green.
Will her childish footsteps roam;
God left her with US four short years,
Then gently called her home,
And when over the hills and meadows
Fell the gloomy shades of night,
She then beheld In their glory
THE BEAUTIFUL GATES OF LIGHT.

We accepted an invitation of Mr.. G..
D. Roberts to visit the New Ulm Su.
gar Manufacturing Company's works,
an were agreeably surprised to note the
Improvements that are being made un-
der the directions of Mr.. Roberts, who
is an expert in the sugar business and
makes it a life study. The works are
to be considerably enlarged and re-
modelled and Mr.. Roberts informed us
that when he gets everything to suit
him New Ulm can boast of one of the
neatest little sugar works this side Of
Louisiana. We will speak of the i'm
provements in later issue. That the
works are already renowned may be
seen by the following clipping from
the Journal Of Agriculture, published
at St. Louis; the article was written by
Mr.. G. G. Belcher.

been for more than a month in charge
of the works, and has done all that
could be done with open pan to make
sugar out of sour cane. The syrup
made by the New Utm Co. is some Of
the best sorghatm syrup that Ihove seen.
They have also made handsome sugar,
but in small quantity only. The fac.
tory building seemed somewhat cramp-

chinery. OF the sorghum works fitted
for open pan boiling, it is by far the
most complete in the country to my
knowledge, and I wish the company
the best of good luck in their next
