pale as corpses, stood gazing at the immense
column of fire, and trembling from head to
foot, as if they would break asunder at every
joint. the lieutenant said in faltering and
broken articulation 'It takes him-up-to
God"
It is believed that the officer alluded to the
ascension, upon the wings Of that flame, Of
Bowie's soul to that God, who would surely
award due vengeance to his fiendish murder
ers.
Not being able to fully comprehend the
great combustibility Of the camphene, it is al
so believed that the sudden elevation of that
great pillar of fire was an indication of God s
hot displeasure toward those torturing mur-
derers. 1t is further believed that the two
officers were of the same opinion, and this ac-
counted for their great agitation. And the
narrator thought that the same idea pervaded
the whole detail, as every man appeared to be
greatly frightened.
For time the murderers stood amazed ;
expecting every moment that the earth would
open chasm through which every man in the
fort would drop into perdition. Terrified by
this conviction, they left the fort as speedily
as possible.
On subsequent day, Cassiano entered the
fort again. 1t was then cleansed, and it SEEM
ed to be comfortable place. But in con-
spicuous place, in the main area, he saw the
one relic of the great victory-a pile of char
red fragments of human bones.-1eras Paper.

LITTLE jim.

The cottage was thatched one, the outside old
and mean,
Yet everything within that cot was wondrous
neat and clean;
The night was dark and stormy, the wind was
bowling wild,
A patient mother watched beside the death bed OF
her child.
A little worn ont creature-his once bright eyes
grown dim;
It was ! Golfers wife and child, they called him
"Little Jim
And. oh to see the briny tears, fast hurrying
down her cheek,
AS she offered up prayer-ln thought; she was
afraid to speak,
Lest she might waken one she loved far petter
than her life;
For she had all a mothers heart, had that poor
With hands uplifted, see, she kneels beside the
sufferers bed
And prays that He will spare her boy, and take
herself instead.
She got her answer from the boy, soft fell tnose
words from him
"Mother, the angels do so smile and beckon 10
little Jim
have no pain, dear mother now, but, oh /! am 80
Just moisten poor Jims lips again, and, mother,
don't you cry"
With gentle, trembling haste, she held teacupto
his lips, ,.
He smiled to thank her, as he took three tiny lit
tie sips.
"Tell father when he comes from work, bid
good night to him,
And, mother, III go to Sleep Alas, poor little
Jim
She saw that he was dying, that the child she
loved so dear
Had uttered the last words she might ever hope
to hear.
The cottage door is opened, the collier's step is
heard,
The father and the mother meet, yet neither speak
word.
He felt that all was over, he knew his child was
dead
He took the candle in his hand, and walked to-
ward the bed.
His quivering lip gave token of the grief hed
fain conceal.
And, see, his wife has joined him, the stricken
couple kneel;
With hearts bowed down by sadness, they hum
bly, ask of Him,
In Heaven once more to meet their own dear ILL.,

FREAKS OF, JURIES.

Shiel, in his inimitable sketches of the
Irish bar, tells of verdict of Clare jury,
in case of ''felonious gallantry." They ac-
quilted the prisoner of the capital charge, but
found him guilty Of "a great undacency." r.
Shelton Mackenzie, in his notes to Shiel's
text, says: ''This is nothing to the verdict of
a Welsh jury: 'Not guilty-but we recon-
mend him not to do it again" Mackenzie
also related that an English jury, not very
bright, having prisoner before them charg-
ed with burglary, and being unwilling to con-
vict him capitally, gave the safe verdict:
'sGuilty Of getting out Of the window" He
adds that the most original was that of an
Irish jury before whom a prisoner pleaded
guilty, throwing himself on the mercy Of the
court. The verdict was: ''Not guilty. The
Judge, in surprise exclaimed: "Why, he has
confessed his crime 70 The foreman responded:
"Ah, my Lord, you don't know that fellow,
but we do. He is the most notorious liar in
the whole country, and no twelve men who
know his character can believe a word he
says, and as the jurors adhered to their ver-
dict the "liar" escaped.
j W. Edmonds reported to the Albany Lao
Journal of June 19, 1870, a murder trial, which
took place in New York City, and in which
he appeared for the accused some thirty years
before by appointment of the court. The de-
fendant was a young woman who, leaving
poor parents in New Jersey, went to New
York City, and obtained a place as waiter in
restaurant. She met and married young
butcher boy, but kept at work until her preg-
nancy compelled her to desist, when she went
to her parental home to be confined. When
she returned to her husbands lodgings in New
York City, she found them vacant and her
own effects packed off. It was case of heart
less desertion. She discovered him at a
slaughter house talking with woman, who
wore at the moment, what she recognized as
her, the defendants, best dress, which she had
bought with her own earnings before mar
riage. He refused to talk with her. The
next morning he was seen to take proffered
cake from the hands Of the young woman,
divide it with some companions, and in few
hours was dead, his companions being taken
very sick, but surviving. The police, investi-
eating the matter found he had three wives,
or rather three women who supposed them
selves his wives All three were arrested,
but two were speedily released, as our heroine
admitted that she had done the business. The
case of the defense was weak, but after only
a few minutes, absence the jury returned with
a verdict of not guilty. The prisoners coun-
sci asked one of the jurors on what ground she
had been acquitted. 'It served him right"
was the answer.

UTILIZING ROUGH GROUND.-On many
farms there are portions of land that cannot
be plowed without great difficulty on account
of ravines or stones. They may be seeded to
grass and used for pasturage, but it is hard to
cut the grass that grows on them. This brok-
en- land may generally be utilized to excel
lent advantage by planting it to crops that
require considerable room. Grapes do we'll on
rocky and broken land, if sufficient pains he
taken to prepare the places where the vines
are to stand. Quite large hole should be ex-
cavated and partially filled with manure and
loose earth. A rocky soil is ordinarily warm
and we'll drained by the spaces between the
stones. Many Of the best vineyards in Eu-
rope are located on Ian so broken and rocky
that it cannot be made to produce paying
crops of grain, grass or potatoes. Tomatoes
can also be pro6tably raised on broken land
The vines require considerable space in which
to spread the branches. There is some trouble
in preparing the hill, but the warm location
and good drainage will generally insure large
crops that ripen early in the season. Pump
kins, melons and squashes may be planted on
broken and rocky land to most excellent ad-
vantage. AS the hills should be about ten feet
apart, but little difficulty will be found in
making them. Excavations can be made
with spade or pick if necessary, and nearly
filled with suitable manure and fine earth.
The large space between the hills will require
little attention except to remove the weeds
which will not be very troublesome III poor
soil. If 4 farmer has a large tract OF broken
and rocky land lie can scarcely do better than
to plant it to forest trees giving preference
to those that will produce nuts.

ORIGIN OF LIFE INsURANCE.-The rise OF
life insurance may be traced to several sources.
The doctrine of probabilities developed by
Pascal Huggens, as game of chance, was
applied to life contingencies by the great
Dutch Statesman, Jan Dewitt, in 1911, but
it was not until some time after that it was
applied to life insurance. In 1G9S there was
IL hint of modern life insurance in a London
organization, and this was followed by another
association two years later. The operations of
these two seem to have passed away without
giving to their successors any clear nature OF
the plan of operations. a third, the Amicable
Society for Perpetual Assurance Office, was
founded at London in 17O6. 1t was mutual !;
that is, each member, without reference to
age, paid fixed admission fee, and fixed
annual payment per share on from one to three
shares; at the end of the year a portion OF the
fund was divided among the heirs of the de-
ceased members in proportion to the shares
held by each. There grew up with this the
election of members, in after years, then the
limitations as to age occupation, health, and
other suggestions which were finally developed
by other organizations upon scientific princl-
pies

THEY WERE ALL Poor BOYs.-An ex-
change culls the following historical facts,
which should encourage every young man
struggling under discouragement and pov-
erty:
John Adams, second President, was the
son of a farmer Of very moderate means. The
only start he had wasa good education.
Andrew Jackson was born in log hut IN
one of the Caroinas, and until grown young
man, supported his mothers family by work.

James K. Polk spent the earlier years of
his life helping to dig living out of new
farm in North Carolina. He was afterwards
a clerk in a country store.

farmer, and his house was very humble one
He learned the business of clothier.
James Buchanan was born in small town
among the Allegheny Mountains. His father
cut the logs and built his own house in what
was then wilderness.

and picked up all the education he ever got.

Oae-rhousaad. Mile Tickets.

The New York. Lake Erie and Western
Railroad Company. familiarly known to
the public as the Erie, has put on sale
at its principal ticket offices one thous-
and-mile tickets, at the rate of two cents
q mile-a large reduction from the regu-
lar rates. Under the railroad laws Of
the states of New York, New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, the company is authorized
to charge from three to three and half
cents mile for carrying passengers. In
Difference, however, to frequently ex-
pressed desire on the part of its local
patrons for lower rate of fare for those
whose business or inclination takes them
frequently over the road, these new
tickets have been issued. Ordinarily,
these tickets are available only for use
by the person to whom issued, and
whose name appears on the face of the
ticket; but, when the head of a
family buys mileage book,
the book may also be
used by the members of the family, SO
that, if the wife Or daughter want to GO
shopping of visiting, they can use the
book as family pass, the conductors
detaching coupons corresponding with
the number of persons travelling together
| and the distance ira yelled. In the same
way, if a mileage book is bought by any
business firm. 1t can be used by any
member of firm-not more than one at 6
time. They are recommended as likely
to be useful to lawyers going to court, te
| physicians, contractors and Summer
travellers. A very liberal time allowance
is made in which the mileage books may
be used They are good tor year from
the date of purchase. The one-thou
and-mile ticket OF the Erie road seems to
be the embodiment of all the praise
worthy features of cheap travel; and the
members of every household and bust
ness establishment, from end to end oi
the road, will now be able to travel more
and for less money, than ever before

ONLY A WOMAN.
~ HESTER 4. BENEpIor,

Only a woman shriveled and old;
The play OF the winds and the prey OF the eoid
Cheeks that are sbrunken,
Eyes that are sunken,
I,ips that wera never Fer bold.
Oulv a woman forsaken and poor,
Asking an aims at the bronze church door.
Hark to the organ roll upon roll
The waves of its music go over her soul
Silks rustic past her,
Thicker and faster:
The great bell ceases its toll.
Fain would she enter, but not for the poor
swiugeth wide open the bronze church door.
ONLY a voman--waiting " alone
Icily cold, on an ice cold throne.
What do they care for her?
alumbling prayer for her,
Giving not bread, but a stone.
Under old laees their naughty hearts beat,
Mocking the woes of their kin in. the street.
Only woman In the old days
Hope caroled to Eer her happiest lays;
Somebody missed her;
Somebody kissed her;
Somebody crowned her with praise,
Somebody faced up the battles oflife
Strong for her sake who was mother, or wife.
Somebody lies with tress of her hair
Light on his heart where the death shade VS. ar
Somebody waits for her,
Opening the gates for her,
Giving delight for despair.
Only awoman--nevermoIe pNor
