Liberated by the Legislature.

The Connecticut House of Represent
atives has voted to release from the
Wethersfeld State Prison John r. John
son, a Swede, about forty years of age,
confined under a life sentence for muir
der. johnson is not his real name, but
what it is he will not disclose. He is a
man of education and refinement. He
was at one time Lieutenant in the Swed-
ish army, and his family were of the no.
bility. His father dissipated his prop
erty at the gaming table, and soon after
this his mother died. The son gathered
such funds as could be secured from his
ruined fortune and assumed the name of
johnson. He fled to America, went to
the West, essayed farming, lost his
money, and then he drifted to Meridian,
Conn.,, and lived at a clearinghouse
kept by Mrs. Hess. She was pitiless
with those of her boarders who were in
arrears with their payment. johnson,
injuring his hand, at one time was ma
BILE to work for several days. He fell
behind with his board, and going to the
house one day was told by Mrs. Hess
that he could not 90 to his room, and
that she intended to detain all his eff
fects. A struggle ensued, and Mrs. Hess
approached him with heavy pitcher
uplifted. He struck out wildly with a
knife in his hand, which he had been
using to cut tobacco, and the blade en-
tered the woman's neck. Her death re-
suited within an hour. johnson was
arrested and sentenced in 1874 to life
imprisonment. An incurable malady
has settled upon him; his death is but
a matter of time. By overtime work
in prison he has accumulated about S75,
and charitable gentlemen will enlarge
this sum to enable him to make his
Journey comfortable. 1t is known that
whatever influence and station can COM
mand could have been secured for him
long since if he would have revealed his
name or that of his mother, whose fam
lily has wealthy representatives not only
in Sweden but in New York; but he is
obstinate about this, and says he would
rather die in prison than bring disgrace
upon his mothers family.

Being Good and Strong.

There is period of time in European
history called sometimes the Dark
Ages. sometimes the Middle Ages.
Times were not dull then. There was
ever so much adventure then; ever so
many brave deeds done. There were
knights in those days who rode horses
covered with steel coverings. and were
themselves covered with the same.
They fought with spears. 1t was be-
fore there were guns. These knights
were very brave and strong men. How
came they to be so? 1 find in a book
by Mr.. Ruskin something want you
should read his answer to the ques-
ton how they made knights in the
Middle Ages. ..What do yOusuppose,"
asks MIR. Ruskin, twas the substance
of good education--t education of a
knight in the Middle Ages? What was
taught to boy as soon as he was able
to learn anything? First, to keep I'M
der his body and bring it into subjec-
ton and perfect strength; then to take
Christ for his Captain, to live as always
in His presence: and, finally, to do his
devoir duty. Mark the word) to all
men," Men living in the Middle Ages
made knights of their boys by
teaching them as Mr.. Ruskin has
said. Such teaching is good for our
boys. When you shallread the exploits
of the knights, and are made to wonder
at their endurance and are charmed by
their proves and valor, you will or
should feel all through you how splen-
did it is to be strong.
1 wish all boys were ambitious to be
strong; were determined to be. If they
were, there are some hurtful things
they would not do. Boys bent on be-
ing strong would let tobacco alone. 1t
may be tobacco does not hurt men at
err they are grown up, their appetites
regulated, their bones firm. If it may
not hurt grown-uD men, il does hurt
growing boys. A doctor i'm England
examined thirty-eight boys, between
the ages of nine and fifteen, who used
tobacco. Twenty-seven of them he
found seriously injured, made unsouna.
by tobacco. Another doctor SAYS:
1--WE do most unequivocally condemn
the use of tobacco by growing boys, in
any form. 1t will certainly do them in
jury The boy who smokes, if he
keep on smoking. will be diseased boy
and cannot be a strong boy.
There are people who say it does no
good to say such things to boys. 1
think better of boys. You are not SO
bad as not to care for what is true. /
have told you two truths. One is that
it is most splendid thing to be strong;
the other is that tobacco in growing
boys destroys strength. You will (be-
cause you are boys. and want to be
manly, strong boys.) pay attention to
the truths 1 have been telling you.
oo,,11 bo told x-.,., mora
A man writing to boys (Mr. j. I.
Field) says: "If were boy again. 1
would go to bed earlier than most boys
do" So would ].
Go to bed early, let tobacco alone.
and you will have q good chance to be
strong; being strong. the chances are
you will be good; and. being good and
strong, you will do a great deal Of good
in world in which there is need that
much good should be done.-Reu. j. L.

Our Young Folks.
CROOKED SpECTACLES.

An elf lived in a buttercup,
And. waking after dawn,
He donned his golden spectacles,
And stepped out on the lawn.
Dear me, said he,
scarce can see.
The sunbeams shine so crookedlyi"
He met merry bumhle-bee
Wit hin the clover gay,
Who buzzed "Good-morning!" in his ear
1t is a pleasant day. r0
"Don't speak to me,
Sir Bumble-b bee,
Until you trim your wingsw cried he.
He met gallant grasshopper,
And thus acco>ted him: 30.
."Why don you wear your green coat straight
And look in better trim1
= - 1t frets me quite,
In snch plight.
To have you field-folk In my sight"
He saw an airy dragon-f1y
Float o er the meadOw-rafl:
Pray stop. Sir Dra9on-ily!' he cried;
:" So upside down you sail,
The sight viii make
Ny poor head ache;
Fly straight, or rest within the brake.
Then wise owl, upon the tree,
Blinked nis great, staring eye:
:" To folk in crooked spectacles
The whole world looks awry.
TO-whit! to-whee!
To-whoov' said he,
"Many such folk I've lived to see."

Lincoln on Horseback.

Mr.. Lincoln wore what was common
ly called plug hat, and although it
may have only been of conventional
length it appeared to me extraordinari-
~ tall. Although it may well be doubt
ed If any other species of hat would have
better become him, | remember think
ing at the time that the stovepipe added
greatly to the oddness and grotesquerie
of his appearance.
The troops were to be reviewed on
the day of his arrival, and I remember
the General was very much perplexed
as to the character of the President g
mount, and finally consulted him as to
the kind of charger he would prefer.
remember his answer as plainly as if it
were only yesterday.
General said he, ''any kind of a
quiet beast will do. I don't think was
cut out for cavalryman, and I'm
afraid a high-spirited war steed might
prove little too much for me.''
In the Generals stud was a little sor-
rel mare called Bonnie, the soul of gen.
tleness and good temper, and he at once
| proposed her for Mr.. Lincoln's use.
CAN right" said the President; 81
guess the mare will suit me to T; be-
side, among horses, that sex is much
the easiest to manage. This remark,
however, he added, with sly twinkle
in his eye, "does not hold good of hu-
manity.'
When Mr.. Lincoln was mounted on
Bonnie his appearance was more pecu-
| liar than ever. The little mare was not
more than fourteen hands high, and so
great was the length of the Presidents
lore fhat onoo fairly seftlad in hia saddle
his feet nearly touched the ground. As
he ruefully remarked, glancing at his
extremities, eff was only two inches
longer, I think I'd get off and walk
Mounted by his side on splendid
stallion, prancing and rearing, and sur.
rounded by brilliant staff, Gen. Sum

An old man who has had much ex-
perience in handling and dealing in
horses for more than half century, said
recently that he had never known a
horse to get s'tender-footed" that was
kept loose in shed and yard, or in a
box stall; that turning round and tread
ing with their forward feet in the ma
nure kept them constantly moist and
soft. His theory seemed perfectly rea-
sonable to me. 81 have no box stalls,
but use shavings for bedding, and
every morning with a large shovel 1
move the wet shavings from under the
horses front feet, and then the last thing
at night cover these with dry shavings
for him to lie on.'' He also remarked
that he had never known fat-footed
horse but what was a great worker.
