A Child's Hiss.

In Prison at New Bedford, Mass,
there now is q man whom we shall
call Jim, and who is q prisoner on
long sentence. Up to last spring he
was regarded as a desperate, danger
GUS man, ready for rebellion at any
hour. Heplanned a general outbreak,
and was "giyen away" by one Of the
conspirators. He plotted a general
mutiny Of rebellion, and was again
betrayed. He then kept his own
counsel and, while never refusing to
obey orders, be obeyed them like a
.laan ssho aeBly needed backing to
make him refuse to. One day in
June party Of strangers came to Tie
institution. One was an old gentle
man, the others ladies, and two of
the ladies had small children. The
guide took one Of the children on his
arm, and the other walked until the
party begain climbing the stairs.
Jim was working near by, sulky and
morose as ever, when the guide said
to him:
"Jim won't you help this little girl
up stairs2"
The convict hesitated, a scowl on
his face, and the little girl held out
her hands TO him, and said:
"If you will, ! guess I'll kiss you"
His scowl banished in an instant,
and he lifted the child as tenderly as
a father. Half way up the stairs
she kissed him. At the head of the
stairs she said:
snow you've got TO kiss me-"
He blushed like a woman, looked
into her innocent face, and then kiss
ed her cheek, and before he reached
the foot of the stairs again the man
had tears in his eyes. Ever since
that day he has been a changed man,
and no one in the place gives less
trouble. May be in his far-away
Western home he has a little Katie
Of his own. No one knows, for he
never reveals his inner life; but the
change SO quickly wrought by a child
proves that he has a heart, and
gives hope that he may forsake his
evil ways.-Tinles.

The Beautiful.

1t is impossible to give any rule as
TO what constitutes beauty, though q
puzzled writer, in the desperate at
tempt to establish a doctrine, declar-
ed smoothness and roundness to be-
essentials of beauty; but plum pud-
ding is smooth and round, and the
Christmas delicacy, even when dec
GRATED with holly. is scarcely beauti.
full. The only practical definition of
beauty that / can imagine is that it
satisfies ones yearnings for the sight,
of beauty, and that it should be uni
versally accepted and admired as
beautiful And those who are so
fortunate as to be recognized as beau
ties are entitled, even as the beauti.
full youths were at the old Greek
games, to be hailed and saluted and
rewarded for their beauty-and their
beauty alone-by the applause and
consideration Of society. 1t is nat
ural patent Of precedence.

Testing Her Innocence.

A poor, pale seamstress was ar
raigned for theft, She appeared at
the bar with her baby Of eleven
months on her arm. She went to get
some work one day and stole three
gold coins Of ten francs each. The
money was missed soon after she left
her employer, and servant was sent
to her room to claim it. The servant
found her about to quit the room
with the three gold coins in her
hand. She said to the servant, 81
am going to carry them hack TO you"
Nevertheless she was carried to the
Commissioner Of Police, and he Or
dered her to be sent to the Police
Court for trial. She was too poor to
engage lawyer, ard when asked by
the Judge what she had to say for
herself, she replied: :"The day I went
TO- my. employers | caErfed NY child
with me. 1t was in my arms, las it
is now. | wasn't paving attention
to it. There were several gold coins
on the mantlepiece, and, unknown
to me, it stretched out its little hand
and seized three pieces, which l did
not observe until | got home. l at
once put on my bonnet, and was
going back to my employer to return
them, when l was arrested. This is
the solemn truth, as l hope for
Heavens mercy"
The Court could not believe this
story. They upbraided the mother
for her impudence in endeavoring to
palm off such manifest lie for the
truth. They besought her, for her
own sake, to retract so absurd q tale,
for it could have no effect but to
oblige the Court TO sentence her to a
much severer punishment than they
were disposed to inaict upon one SO
young and evidently so deep in pow
erty.
These appeals had no effect except
to strengthen the poor mothers per-
tinacious adherence to her original
story. AS this frmness was sustain
ed by that look Of innocence which
the most adroit criminal can never
counterfeit, the Court was at some
loss to discover what decision Justice
demanded. To relieve their embar.
rassment one Of the judges proposed
to renew the scene described by the
mother. Three gold coins were
| placed on the clerks table. The
mother was requested TO assume the
position in which she stood at her
employers house. There was then a
breathless pause in court. The baby
soon discovered the bright coins
eyed them for q moment, smiled, and
then stretched forth its tiny hand
and clutched them in its fingers
with miser's eagerncss. The moth.
er was acquitted. Paris Exchange.

lltions Adele yefgeri received The
visits of the brothers with much
sang freid. To her it was amusing
TO see first one, then the other come
pulling and blowing ID his desire to
be the tirst to greet her. Neither
would give i'm sos the other, and
Adele had,to eseo them both out,
as neither would leave the other
piohewith her: SO terrible became
the jealousy between the brothers
that they d'not speak with each
other. .Ehad, however, 70 be settled
at last Adele Nergeri Threatened
that unless her courtship ceased 20
be mixed with hatred she would
shave te aelt brothers 70 desia
from calling upon her. The broth.
ers met. They had parted with
Adele Vergeri, and both confronted
each other in one of the great wine
shops of the Saint Denis quarter, SO
appropriately called by lola "Assom-
moir." They glared at each other
and their friends saw at once that
mischief was brewing. They finally
motioned each other to withdraw to
a table. They spoke low, but ex-
ci!edly, smoked quickly, and the
blue smoke of their pipes was hot.
"a duell Yes, a duell" This was
distinctly heard, and then the broth
ers beckoned to Jules Remi and ALI.
red Poulier, friends of theirs. They
had decided upon fighting duel, but
not with swords or pistols. 1t was
to be duel to the death.
Two bottles Of rum, brought from
the cellars Of Jacques Barbier's AS
sommoir de st, Denis, were put upon
the table. Two tumblers wero set
by the side of the bottles, and then
this contract was made BY the broth
ers in the presence of witnesses.
'It is agreed between the brothers
Auguste and Andre Berni 10 drink
rum until either is unable. to drink
any more. The first who succumbs
will consider himself beaten and
surrender allclaims to Adele Vcrgeri."
The contract was signed, the bot
ties tipped and the tumblers filed.
AT first the men drank slowly, but
as the liquor began to excite their
brains they fairly poured it down
their threats. At the ninth glass
Auguste, the younger OF The brothers,
gave yell of pain and fell senseless
TO the floor. Andre Berni then
arose, and, with a smile on his face,
turned to leave. Hardly had he
reached the door Of the cabaret when
he threw up his hands and fell sense
less. He was quickly carried to the
Hospital Tenon, but died shortly af-
ter reaching it, Of concussion Of the
brain and paralysis Of the heart.
Auguste Berni, crazed by the rum
he had drank. Recovering from his
faint, ran madly through the streets,
and has not been seen since. Adele
Vergeri, the humble cook of La Vii
lette, when she heard Of the death Of
Andre and the disappearance of Au-
guste, merely shrugged her shoulders.
