A Story Of Oonsorlption.

Originality Of conception and Wig
or In execution alike c!'aracterizes
the expcdient adopted a few days ago
by Partisan father to obtain his OH
ly sons exemption from the conscrip-
ton Of lSS. The youth, 1t appears,
had drawn "l,ad number, +" and the
prospect Of his exposure to the perils
and fatigues Of military service
plunged his mother into such dark
depths ofdespair that her husband,
unable to bear the contemplation Of
her sore afIiiction, made up his mind
one day to take a measure which
could not fail to avert the threatened
separation Of mother and son. While
they were weeping in one anOther's
arms, he suddenly clasped them both
In q c0nvulsive embrace, mur'nured
the wor,l ::'AdicI!" and rushed from
the house to the nearest bridge over
the Seine, whence he sprang head
foremost from the bridge into the riv-
er. Fortunately some Doatn,en who
saw him full from the quay succeed
ed, with considerable difficulty, in
rescuing him alive, but insensible.
He was conveyed to the n'orgue and
there stripped, in order to be subject
cd to the usual restorative proceeds Of
friction. In accordance to the regu-
lations of that institute, his clothes
were searched with view to estat'-
lish his identity, and in his pocket
book was found sheet Of note paper
upon which he had written down
his name and address aud the follow
ing touching sentence: "The child
shall MT be parted from his mother;
he Is u widows only son." Never
yet, in all probability, has tale Of
sublime self.sacrifice been told in 20

A Child's Notion About Thunder.

It IL seldom that any but distant
rumbles Of thunder are heard In this
part OF Nevatln. The sharp, rattling
peals that rent the air yesterday were
therefore something new and aston
ishing to most Of the youngsters Of
the city. While some rushed for
their homes with eyes distended and
hair flying, Others others dartetl forth
into the open air and began gazing
wildly about to see what had ''blst-
ed." One bright little fellow, who
was out on a porch watching the de-
scending hail - It ratified on the
fences and bounced upon theground,
when the first heavy crash came,
rushed indoors, crying, 20. ma, ma:

The Origin Of 1e0Cin0.

From the first Invention Of the
word down 10 the pei iod when the
fifteenth century was drawing to
close, this weapon had always I'een
used ~ an arm Of offence. The per-
son welding 1t thrust 1t or hewed II
into the body Of his antagonist when
ever he had . chance, and the only
defence against It was stout ars,lor or
interposed shield. It is not 10 be sup
ps,.esl that an ancient warrior, or one
belonging to the earlier Middle Ages,
never thrust aside or parried with
his own blade astrokc Of his enemy's
swer,l; but this method Of defence
was not depended upon in those days;
the breast-platc, the helmet, or the
buckler was expected to shield the
soldier while he was entlea v0ring tn
get his own swor d into some unpro-
tectetl portion of the body Of his an
tagonist. But about the time Of Fer
dinand and Isabella Of Spain, the sci
cnce Of fencing was invented. This
new system Of fighting gave in en-
tirely new use to the sword: it now
became q weapon Of defence ~ we'll
~ offence. Long, slender rapiers,
shar .,ened only at the point, ,wer. the
swords used in fencing. Armed with
one ofthese, . gallant knight, or high
toned courtier, who chose the new
method Of single combat, dis.lainesl
the use Of arnlOr; the strokes or his
opponent were wartled Off by his own
light weapon, and which ever Of his
own contestants was enabled to dis
arm the other, or to deliver = thrust
which could not BE- perried, could
drive the sharp point u his napier In
to the body Of his opponent ifhe felt
50 inclined. The napier, which was
adapted to combat between two Ter
sons, and not for general warfare,
soon became the weapon Of the duel
ist; and, as duels used to be - conf
mon - lawsuits are now, 1t was,
thought necessary that gentleman
should know how to fence, and thus
protect the hfe and honor Of himself,
his family, and his friends.-F|OM
