A WOman's Ingenuity.

Elizabeth Lloyd King, alias Kate
Stoddard, who is we'll known as the
murderess of Charles Goodrich, brother
of the Hon. W. W. Goodrich, and is
now confined in the Auburn State con-
vict asylum, being denied the use OF
writing material, recently invented a
new way of composing letter. She
was allowed books and magazines, a
Bible and Testament, and although
not permitted to have scissors, had
needle and some thread. Taking the
fyleaf of a book she stitched upon it
single letters, and bits of words that
would compose sentences, and very
neatly made up out of fragments OF

The following address was stitched
upon another bit of paper, which was
afterward sewed on the reverse side of
the card:
Mr.. D. @. Pavey Editor Of the Syracuse
Standard, Standard Office, Syracuse, New York.
1t must have required many weeks to
have pieced out the letter. The capi-
tails were used only in proper places,
and great care was taken as to punctua-
ton. The whole of the first letter was
in BREWER type, and most of the sec
ond, and the words were nearly all
made up of single letters pricked out of
a printed page, evidently with needle,
and then sewed on with white thread.
The word King seems to have been cut
ont Of a Bible printed in agate. The
stitches were taken with such care
as not to tear the paper or to leave
upturned edges that would be ap
to cause any part to be torn OH
in handling. The edges of the paper
were neatly hemmed. The letter was
delivered TO a visitor to mail, but 1t was

Good Writing.

II you desire to write for the press
and to be what is termed "good
writer" there are two all-important
things that you must look after. One
OF these is plain and easy style, clear
ly within the comprehension of all dis
posed to read after you; and the other
is theme calculated to interest every
body as near as it is possible for every
body to be interested. The first OF
these attainments may be most easily
secured by a careful study OF modern
writers, such for instance as Irving,
Hawthorne and Dickens; the other
must come through knowledge OF
human nature and the exercise OF good
common sense. Without an association
of these two things no person can be-
come good, or, in other words, a pop
ular writer. We have in mind several
men of our immediate acquaintance,
who write smoothly and beautifully; but
who, lacking the second requisite, are
not at all liked as writer's. On the
other hand, we can place our hnger
upon men whese Judgment, SO far as re-
lates to what would please the
people, is almost entirely periect' put
who, when they undertake TO put tneif
thoughts in words, put in their words SO
badly and round their periods so rough
" that no person cares to read after
them for any great length OF ame,-r

Great Sins and Petty Faults,

You need not break the glasses Of a
telescope nor coat them over with paint
60 prevent you from seeing through
them. Just breathe upon them, and
the dew Of your breath will shut out all
the stars. So, it does not require to
hide the light of Gods countenance or
shut out every star of promise. Little
faults can do it just as well. Take a
shield, and cast spear upon it and it
will leave in it one great dent, but
pick it all over with million little
needle shots, and they take the polish
off far more than the piercing of the
spear. So, it is not so much the great
sins that take the freshness from our
consciences as the numberless petty
faults which we are all the time com
mitting.-Beecher

The snOw.FilIed Nest.


II swings upon the leafess tree,
BY stormy winds blown to a fro;
Deserted, lonely, sad TO see,
And full Of cruel snow.
In summers noon the leaves above
Made dewy shelter from the heat;
The nest was full Of life and love;
All, life and love are sweet
The tender brooding of the day,
The silent, peaceful dreams Of night.
The joys that patience overpay,
The cry Of young delight,
The song that through the branches rings,
The nesting crowd with eager eyes,
The flutter soft of untried wings,
The flight Of glad surprise.
ALL all are gone know not where;
And still upon the cold gray tree,
Lonely and tossed by every air,
That snow-Rlled nest See
I, too had once place Of rest,
Where life and love and peace we're mine
Even as the wild-birds build their nest
When skies and summer shine.
But winter came, the leaves were dead;
Tho mother-bird was first to go,
The nestlings from my sight have fled;
The nest is full of snow.

The Little Children,s Watches.

Yesterday an old man entered Little

an old buckskin pouch he emptied two
coins on the counter, and then, after
regarding the silver for few moments,
said:
Mister, want to buy some goods

notches filed in it, and this fifty-cent
piece has been punched. You see, they

"Abused," said the old man.
"Abased," and he took up the fifty
cent piece and looked at it tenderly.
''And you won't take it on account of
the holes. Heaven grant that did not
have to offer it to you. Years ago, when
my first child was little girl punched
a hole in this coin and strung it around
her neck. It was her constant play
thing. At night when she went to bed
we'd take it off, but early at morning
she would call for her watch. When
