Give the school Children Good

A great deal has been said as to the

do with their books and studies, and of
course there is some reason in it. But
we think, if the experiment could be

Choking to Death.

reasoning advocates on both sides, as

punishment whatever, but human in

on this topic, and there are other al
ternatiyes besides the garrote, Of

A Br0ken.Hearted Dog.

The London Spectator publishes,
over what is no doubt a bona fide sig
nature, a story which should serve as
a warning to reverend gentlemen pos
sessing exceptional powers of denun-
citation. A clergyman-and from the
fact that this term rather than min
ister' or preacher is used, we infer
that a churchman in full orders is re
ferred to-a Clergyman had a favorite
and very intelligent dog, who COM
mitted a grevious fault one Sunday
morning. His master on returning
from church, did not beat him. but
took hold of him and talked to him
most bitterly, most severely. He
talked on and on for long time in
the same serious and reproachful
strain, and the dog was so deeply i'm
pressed with his own total depravitv.
that he refused to eat any food. pined
away, and died in the course of a day
or two, A double moral is suggested
by this anecdote, the first part of
which should teach clergymen how
dreadful may be the effect of severe
and protracted denunciation on a sen
sitlve and trusting temperament.w while
the second should suggest to hearers
that they ought not to take such talk
too much to heart. The trouble with
the poor dog was that he believed all
that was said to him, and was so pain
fully conscious Of his inability to an
sWer back that it broke his heart.

Mrs. Joseph Ashbrooke, WHO'S stop,
ping with her husband at the Girard
House in this city, has become heir
to $25, 600 in a most romantic manner
Thirty years ago the lady's father
Henry Devon, American consulpat

Mrs. Ashbrooke was born her mother
left South America and returned to

advices that her husband was dead
When his affairs were settled up a
large amount of money was missing.
Nothing was heard as to its where
abouts until a letter was received from
a law firm in Australia, stating that
George w Anderson, who died last
March, had confessed on his death
bed that he had embezzled $4,000
intrusted to him by Mr.. Devon.
The faithless agent had endured
hard lot, wandering aimlessly over
the earth He wound up in the gold
fields of Australia, where hemade and
lost fortune At last he went into
trade and amassed a fortune. Final
ly, he grew i'll and was forced to en-
ter a hospital While under the care
of a Sister of Charity he was convert
ed to the Roman Catholic Church.
In order to be saved, he was told that
he must make restitution for the
wrong done to the family of his former
employer. He became penitent and had
a deed of trust drawn up, dividing
$50, 600 among the three children of
his old employer. A few days after
everything had been arranged he
died, and his solicitors, in carrying
out his wishes, wrote to Mrs. Ash

Army Morals.
New York Hour.

Marriage, it seems, according to the
latest revised code of amy ethics, is
conduct unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman. At least, that is the
only inference to be drawn from the
amazing sentence passed by a court
martial on First Lieutenant James K.
Simpson, of the Third Cavalry. That
officer was tried on the charge men
toned above, the specification being
that his misconduct consisted in mar
ryirga woman who had been his mis-
tres. He was found guilty, and SEN
fenced to dismissal. Apparently,
then, in the army, immortality is
neither unOflicerlike nor ungentle-
manly, but the attempt to atone for
it in a manly and Christian way is
both. Luckily for Lieutenant Simp-
son, Judge Advocate General Swain
takes a view of military proprieties
less loftily remote from the DEGREES of
civil life, and recommends that the
verdict be set aside. There is a chance,
therefore, that Lieutenant Simpson,
who as a captain in one of the best of
the volunteer regiments, the Four
teenth Connecticut, served through
the War of the Rebellion with con-
spicuous gallantry, being seven or
eight times wounded, and has been
manys,times mentioned for soldierly
conduct during his long service on the
plains, may still retain the shoulder
straps which he has hitherto worn
with homer.

A Cat Worth Having.

A remarkable story is ahoat in
Somerville. The family which owns
the cat have lately put in a new re
frigerator. 1t is a monster in size,
and has spring lock. The servant
while washing the refrigerator had
occasion to get inside. Soon after
getting inside the wind blew the door
to, and the spring lock instantly fas-
tened. The mistress was up several
flights of stairs, and the servant vel
led until hoarse in trying to make the
mistress hear, but could not. The
servant was terribly afraid of being
sutfocated. She tried and tried. but
could not open the door any way.
The cat behind the kitchen stove left
her kittens and rushed up stairs, new
fng as loudly as she could. The lady
left her work and followed the cat
down stairs, wondering what had
happened to the kittens. Putting her
paws up to the refrigerator door pus-
sy mewed louder than ever. 1t was
opened. Outcame Mary, half suffo-
Gated, half frightened to death. She
swears that that cat saved her life.

Sweet childhood with thy painted toys,
Obvious of those feeting JOYS.
O sing and sport for soon, alas
Those bright and Joyous days viii pass
But wouidst thou know thy latent powers
That slumber through those sunny hours,
Ia vain thou shalt inquire OF fate
Fun many year yet thou must wait.
Ambitious youth with eager gaze,
Looks forward IN those halcyon DAYS
To laurels bright he hopes 10 gaia,
But long he struggles for in vain,
Like mirage, Oft before his eyes
Appears the goal and envied prize;
He still pursues the alluriHg bait,
But ere he grasps it, long must wait.
Maumed manhood with like zest,
Pursues his phautOms with the rest;
But with more obstacles he copes.
Though not less ardent are his hopes.
Advancing yeats new trials bring,
While older ones around him cling,
With life alone these terminate.
But for delyerance he must wait.
Old age With snowy locks, appears,
Beneath his weight Of cares and years
Suhdued are now ambitions fires,
Aud higher hopes his soul inspires.
Almost within his eager gaze
Are dazzling CLEANS Of heavenly rays;
And ere he sees the Golden Gate,
He hath not now long yet to wait.
