\ STOLEN GIRL.

STOLEN GIRL.
Several months ago poor
peasant sent her daughter, a
young girl, very plain, almost deformed,
and in no way attractive, to the store for
some red earth. The child has never re-
turned. This occurred in a small village
on the river Thless, that terrible river
which causes so much loss and so man V
deaths by inundation. 1t seems that the
floors in Hungarian peasants houses are
made Of light yellow cement, and to
make them more attractive the peasants
usually on Saturday evening put a fresh
border all around each room of bright
red, made of q mixture of red earth and
water. The child went with her large
colored handkerchief for the earth, as
her mother needed it for that evening,
and she is still waiting. Search was at
once commenced but no clue was found.

she would take child he had with him

effect that child answering the descrip-

sent detectives to see if it were really the
child. Many were brought to the poor
mother, but she each time said it is not
mine. Time went on. Suspicious began
to be whispered about, but each time
something seemed to be pointing towards
a solving of the mystery. News would
come from some remote region that either
the child was found or her clothing, and
more time was used in finding this news
to be as false as all that had preceded
it. In the meantime two other
Jews called and offered large sums to the
mother if she would select child out of
several presented and call it hers. At
last body was found tied to raft in the
Thiess, some twelve miles below the vii
lage. The body was dressed in the
clothes the girl wore when she left home
even the handkerchief stained with the
red earth was tied around her arm-but
the body proved to be that of prostitute
who died of consumption. The hair had
been shaved and the body badly bruised
and ill-treated in the hopes of putting it
beyond recognition, but her grave was
found empty and such proofs gwen that
could not be doubted. Then came the
question, if those were the clothes-and

A beautiful hand is an excellent thing
in woman; it is charm that never fails,
it is means of fascination that never
disappears. Women carry beautiful
hand with them to the grave when
beautiful face has long since vanished
or ceased to enchant. The expression
of the hand, too, is inexhaustible; and
when the eyes we may have worshiped
no longer flash or sparkle, the ringlets
with which we have played are covered
with cap, or, worse, turban, and the
symmetrical presence which, in our SON.

lopes and wild gazelles, have all, all

pressure, or q new ring, renews with
untiring grace the spell that bound our
enamored and adoring youth. h.-DisraeH.

Highly Astonishing.

A certain lady in this county set hen
upon thirteen eggs. A few days after
wards, looking into the nest, she was
surprised to find the hen missing and
the eggs gone and in their stead huge
rattlesnake comfortably coiled up. No
ticing the swelled condition of his snake
ship she procured spade and pinned
his head to the ground. Then, with a
rake, the tail was drawn out and fastened
down to prevent wiggling. A pen. knife
soon split the reptile from head to tail
and the eggs were taken out. Being
carefully washed they were placed under
the same hen and eventually every one
Matched out and the chickens grew and
thrived. We regret that strict regard
for truth compels us to say that the hen
was not swallowed nor were the chicks
marked with snake.-.St. Paul Pioneer.

AN EXCHANGE has these truthful words
to boys: "The boy who spends an hour
OF each evening lounging idly on the
street corners is wasting, in the course
of the year, 1855 prescious hours, which,
il applied to study, would familiarize
him with the rudiments of almost any
of the familiar sciences. If, in addition
to spending an hour each evening, he
wastes ten cents for a cigar, which is
usually the case, this worse than wasted
money would pay for ten of the leading
periodicals of the country. The graft
fication afforded by the lounge on the
corner and the cigar is not only tempor-
ary but positively hurtful. You cannot
indulge in them without hurting your
selves. You acquire idle and wasteful
habits which cling to you with each
succeeding year."
