How Many Murderers Escape.

1t appears that from 1860 to 1882 one
hundred and seventy persons were tried
in Massachusetts for murder in the first
degree. Of this number only twenty
nine were convicted and only sixteen
paid the extreme penalty OF the law
Of those convicted one committed sui
eide and twelve got th9ir sentences
committed. Here, then, during Pc
Rod of little more than twenty years
were one hundred and SERENITY murders
in one State and only sixteen execu-
tions.
In Connecticut during period of
thirty years, from 1850 to 1880, nine
ty-seven persons were tiled for MUIR
der in the first degree. Of these only
thirteen were convicted If that crime,
and not more than seveIs7 were hanged.
The statistics for other States would
doubtless show similar reAults. In New
York City there were on6 hundred and
eighty-five homicides dcring the four
years ended with 1871 This was an
average of nearly one homicide week.
During the same period there were four
executions, or just one q year. The
number of persons tried for murder in
the first degree in the city is about
twenty-five every year, the number
hanged does not exceed on the average
one or two a year.
These figures are full of Significance.
They show that either through the fault
of the law itself or it's administration
by juries the statute imposing the death
penalty for murder is in the vast ma
jority of cases dead letter. They fur
Their show that, while murder is COM
mon crime, the murderer, in a great

Preserving Salt Meat.

Much of the corned beef and salt pork
put up by farmers becomes tainted or
completely spoiled during the summer
and fall. The injury is not caused by
using too small an amount of salt. As
a rule, much more salt is employed
than is necessary to preserve the meat.
Sometimes it contains impurities that
cause the meat to contract bad flavor.
Pure salt should be employed for pre-
serving meat and dairy products. 1t
costs but little more than that which is
impure, and it is more satisfactory in all
respects. Meat packed in barrel and
covered with brine becomes tainted or
spoiled in consequence of small por-
tons of it or some of the fat or blood it
contains ceming to the top of the
brine. The air comes in contact with
it there and decomposition takes place.
The products of decomposition of ami
NAL substances always have an I'M
pleasant taste and smell and these, in
the case of meat in a barrel, are commu-
nicated to the brine and from thence to
the meat. Meat packed in brine should
be cut in pieces with avery sharp knife.
This viii leave the edges smooth. After
it has been for few days in brine, the
latter should be poured off and boiled.
The boiling will cause all the impure
ties to rise to the surface, while the
blood will be coagulated. These sub
stances should then be skinned off,
and when the brine is cold it can be re-
turned to the barrel. If the brine does
not continue pure, the operation of
DO ling should be repeated. Special
pains should be taken to keep the meat
under the brine at all times. A per
forated top or false cover, or frame
work, should rest on the meat and be
weighted down by means of. clean
stone. If these precautions are en-
ployed the liability of spelling will be
very light. -Nev England Farmer

PUNCH AND THE SERIOUS LIT
TIE BOZ

&C0CH AND IHE bER1OUS LIZ
TIE BOZ
There was once a serious little how
Who never smiled. and who rarely smoke:
Arithmetic was his only Joy,
And he could not be made to take joke.
IF ever any one chanced to read
Or tell him a joke, in accents chilly.
TO an older person he said: s'Indeedy''
To younger person: THAT is silly
1t happened one day. when he went to school.
That his tender mother wrapped up his
lunch
Though such was not her general rule
In leaf from recent number of Punch.
When noontime came, and he spread it out.
The picture attracted his notice at once;
And he said, with scorn: BEYOND doubt,
There are people who like to play the
Ounces"
Now, what this picture was my dears,
| would gladly tell you, if [ knew
For should not be troubled by any fears
That what happened. TO him might happen
to you.
He read the joke-'twas brand-new ioke-;a
And then for minute sat perfectly still;
Then he Went as if he were going to choke,
And said, with an effort: THAT is sill
A violent chuckle stopped him here;
He did not know what to make of it.
He said to himself: This is very queer
wonder if it can be a fit?
''The sensation is singular and new.
can not be laughing; I've too much
Once more a chuckle shook him all through,
And he tumbled abruptly OFF the fence.
He had never laughed in his life before;
He was Just eleven years old, and so
When he tried to stop, he laughed the more
For he'd all that time to make up, you
know. et
His mother CHANGED to be passing by;
She was sensible, as well as kind,
80 she did not stop to scream and cry,
But showed at once her presence of mind.
She leaned himup against the fence
For to stand alone he was quite unable
She put him through pounds, shillings and
pence,
And then the multiplication table.
By the time he had got to ten times ten,
He had almost recovered his self-command;
he was only smiling little then,
Ana by twelve times twelve he was able to
stand. s~+
But his mother was fully convinced that day
That it safer to laugh as one goes along,
For if it accumulates in this way
1t acquires force that is terribly strong.
So now she keeps telling him little jokes,
And he's learned an almost agreeable
He may some day laugh, as do other folks,
But she can not expect that yet awhile.
The moral is plain to be seen, of course
We should all learn laughing while we are

Or~more dreadful still-never come at all.

On the 1st of August last, there died at syd.
ney, Australia, in the fortieth year of his age.
Henry Clarence Kendall, one of the finest
poets the Australian colonies ever produced.
But alasl the light of his genius was clouded
Dy the vice OF intemperance. According to
q biographical sketch in the Melbourne ReUiels,
ne was the unhappy and unfortunate victim
OF hereditary alcoholism. In his latter years
ne tried to depict the remorse that sat upon
his mind like curse. AT his wife's request"
we read, this was not published, but on his
death-bed he made 1t the subject of special
eHtreaty that it should be printed unaltered
as a public confession of the wrong he had
done TO patient and loving woman. In this
poem, which tells the tale of his own sinful
life, we find these touching stanzas:
mo tear at all is asked for him
A drunkard well deserves his life;
But voices viii culver, eyes grow dim.
For her, the patient pure young wife;
Inc gentle girl of better days.
AS umid as mountain fawn,
VINO used to choose untrodden ways,
AND place at night her rags in pawn.
tell you, this is not a tale
conceived by me, but bitter truth:
bqnh asiaa H Knows it, pinehed and pale,
These eyes of mine have often seen
The sweet girl-wife in winters rude
Steal out at nights through courts uncleau,
10 hunt about for chips of wood.
" Have no word at all him
Who used down fetid lanes to stink
And squat in tap-room corners grim,
And drown his thoughts in dregs of drink
This much Eli say, that when the flame
OF reason reaSsumed its force,
The he'll the Christian fears to name
Was heaven to his fierce remorse.
"Just think of him beneath the ban,
And stepped in sorrow TO the neckl
Without friend-a feeble man
In failing health-a human wreck!
With all his sense and scholarship,
How could he face his fading wife7
The devil never lifted whip
With Stings like those that scourged his Iife.H
