"Good-bye, McNulty!"
The tail, lissome form of Esmeralda
W. Perkins was sharply outlined against
Vivian McNulty's left ear as he stood
that beautiful June evening in the door
way of Brierton villa, hoping against
hope, and praying that something-he
knew or cared not what-might occur
to sweep from the horizon of his life the
awful sorrow that was hanging over it
like pall-a sorrow that would make
every day an con of misery, every word
of JOY that Others might utter knell Of
despair
They had quarreled, these two-they
who in the beautiful days of autumn,
when the leaves were turning golden,
when the hills were crowned with amber
light and the valleys seemed like huge
cups trimming over with purple haze,
and when the trotting record was low
cred to 2:0Sa, had plighted their troth
so willingly and yet so solemnly, think
ing, and rightly, too, that this blending
forever of two hearts was solemn, holy
act, one that should ever be looked upon
in silent gratitude-and now they were
to part forever, take separate paths on the
eventful journey of life-that journey
which they hoped by constant compan-
ionship and enduring love to make one
of ceasele.s JOY and sweet content. But
now all was changed, and the rose-tinted
future which they had often pictured to
themselves and talked about in the calm
hopefuness that only a young man on
S75 month and pure, passionless girl
who can eat the bottom crust of pie
without culver can assume had passed
away forever, and in its place there was a
yawning chasm Of despair and grief.

How q Moorish Freebooter Was Cap
tUrpi

A correspondent of the London GlObe
gives an account of the capture and exc
cution of Cid Suleiman Ben Kader, an
Arab patriot chief, whose career in many
respects resembles that of the celebrated
Add -el-Kader. The Cid, half brigand
and half partisan leader, gave the French
a serious amount of trouble many years
ago; but, the fortune of war. going
against him, he escaped across the from
tier, was arrested by order Of the father
of the present sultan of Morocco and was
incarcerated at Mcquinez. But he escaped
across the frontier to Algeria, where he
once more entered on his favorite occu-
patton of freebooter Confinement,
moreover, seems to have made him par
ticularly acrimonious, as he commenced
Systematically TO slaughter any of the
French colonists who happened to fall
into his power At last, however, being
hard pressed by the troops, he once more
escaped across the Moorish frontier, and
carried on a spirited series of depreda
tions in Morocco.
One expedition after another failed to
capture the fugitive, large rewards were
offered for his destruction, but without
result, and the French complained bit
terly of the remissness shown by the
Moorish government in allowing to re-
main at large rebel who might at any
time recross the frontier, raise the stand
ard of revolt among the Algerian tribes,
and provoke serious instruction in the
colony Diplomacy was then tried.
Muley Archid, an uncle of the sultan,
obtained an interview with the rebel on
the pretext of arranging for the purchase
of some land claimed by the Cid, and, ill
order that no undue advantage might be
taken by either rarty, it was agreed that
each should be attended by twenty-five
horsemen, but no more. All prelimina-
ries having been settled, the meeting
took place in tent, and while the usual
interchange of flowery eastern compli-
ments was going on between the con-
tracing parties violent connection was
heard outside, caused by the arrival of a
large body of horsemen, who had sud
denly appeared upon the scene. Old
Suleiman's twenty-five horsemen were
quickly overpowered, as was the chief
himself, when he was promptly decapita-
ted, and his head, having been packed
in camphor according to the Moorish
custom, was transmitted to the sultan at

TIE BAD BOY.

"say, don't you think there ought to
be a law to kill dudes when they are out
OF season." said the bad boy to the gro
ceryman.
"I9udes oughtto be protected the same
as any other game, " said the grocery man.
They are harmless except in August,
when they ought to be muzzled. But
what ails your lip?"
"a calf kicked it. I don't think calf
has got any more sense than dude. The
humane society man told me to keep a
watch and when I saw any of these fell
lows that bring calves to town in wagon
abusing the calves, to make them stop it,
or have them arrested. Yesterday saw
calf all tied up by the legs in wagon,
believing, and sneaked up behind
and cut the rope around its legs, to
relieve the pain. How do you sup
pose the calf thanked me? Kicked
me in the lip with both hoofs, and
the driver chased me two blocks with a
blacksnake whip. There has got to be
a better understanding between calves
and us humane society fellows, Or shall
resign. Wait till go and carry these
red socks to the baby and l will play you
game of dominoes," and the bad boy
went out whistling, "I'm Denny Nc
Gonigle's Daughter Mary Ann" and the
grocery man cut off piece of cheese to
send the baby.-Ptct's Sun.

Favored n Higher Fine.

Will TAYLOR, the son OF the present
American consul at Marseilles, was good
deal like other boys, while at school in
his old home, at Hudson. Wis. One day
he called his father into the library, and
said:
"Pa, don't like to tell you, but the
teacher and have had trouble"
"What's the matter nowH
"Well, cut one OF the desks little
with my knife, and the teacher says
I've got to pay dollar or take lickin'."
"Well why don't you take the licking
and say nothing more about it? can
stand considerable physical pain, so long
as it visits our family in that form. Of
course it is not pleasant to be flogged,
but you have broken one of the rules OF
the school, and | guess you'll have to
stand it. presume the teacher will IN
wrath remember mercy, and avoid dis
abling you so that you can't get on your
coat any more"
but, pa, d. mighty bad about it
already, and if you would pay my fine I'd
never do it again. know good deal
more about it now and win never do 1t
again. A dollar amt much to you, pa,
but it's heap to boy that hasn't got a
cent If could make Il dollar as easy as
you car, pa, I'd never let my little boy
get logged that way just to save dol
lar. If l had little teller that got licked
bekuz I didn't put up fer him, I'd hate
the sight of money always. I'd feel as
eff every dollar had in my pocket had
been taken out OF my little kids back"
"Well, now, III tell you what I'll do.
| I'll give you a dollar to save you from
punishment this time, but if anything of
this kind ever occurs again, I'll hold you
while the teacher ticks you, and then III
get the teacher to hold you while

about that If you want to go around
whiting up our educational institutions
you can do so; bat you will have to pur'
chase them afterward yourself. don't
propose to buy any more damaged school
furniture. You probably grasp my mean,

to acquire an education, not to acquire
liabilities so that you can come around

SITTER JOHN, EDITOR.

SITTER John to 49," the Jamaica
correspondent of the Ph9ni1, better
known as "the Federal department of
Justice for Jamaica, Vermont" with
the compliments of the season, desires
to say that the SITTER has large and
rapidly increasing circulation in ia
maica, and that he sincerely hopes that
no boomerang that it may throw will
kill widows cow, or rifle mans
pockets, nor take two or three hundred
dollars from hopelessly crippled Union
soldier, etc, etc, etc. And further
would say that if the department
wants any more, Sitter John is his
man, and he will do well to write it
down in his little book of remem-
brance; and he need not whisper
about it either, but buckle on his belt
stick in two or three revolvecs and
speak right up like little man.

Eighteen hundred and eighty-three

turbed slumber of the dead. Its strife
is DER, and would that its pangs were
closed forever. Its last message of
despair has been given. Gone, gone to
that bourn from whence TO struggling
year has ever returned. Gone to add
another star to the crown of time.
Gone with its joys and with its sor-
rows, with its hopes and with its fears.
Gone to illumine the pages of future
history with its bright and heroic deeds
and to mar its fair pages with its soul
curdling crimes, with its widows tears,
with its orphans walls and its sweep
ing and destructive providences. Gone,
like the bright visions of hope dashed
to the winds. Relentlessly gone. But
swift as fairy chariot, and hopeful as
the fearful child when a new and
brighter vision opens upon it, comes
the new year laden with hopes, with
joyful anticipations, with bright pic
tured prospects spread upon every
hand; grand, living, moving pano

Sleep.

The question of sleep is an important
one. am strong believer in the ne
cessity of sleep, though not a great sleeper
myself. think brain-workers-and es-
yecially young ones--requirs eight hours
of sleep in twenty-four. Seven hours are
all that require. Humboldt, whose age
exceeded ninety years, and who was one
of the most powerful braln-workers of his
time, slept only four hours. Napoleon
also allowed himself only four hours of
sleep during his campaigns. If he had
slept twenty-four the world would not
have been the worse for it. President
Garfield told me that, in his student days,
he could study twenty hours out of
twenty-four, for weeks and months. But
he had an exceptionally vigorous consti-
tuition. Judge Foote, who died at the
age of lightweight, wrote me that he
formed the opinion in his youth, that peo
pie spent too much time in sleep, and he
allowed himself but six hours, and found
it sufficient. Six hours, or even four
hours of quiet, restful sleep, are of more
value than eight hours of restless, dis
turbed slumber. One should be able,
upon retiring, to throw off every care and
thought. The bow constantly bent loses
its elasticity. The brain always ca the
strain loses its power to grasp ideas. For
this reason, one should form the habit of
throwing off the burdens of thought with
the clothing that is worn during the day.
1t can be done easily with a little prac-
tice. No one expects jaded steed to
make the best time on race-course, and
no reasonable person can think for mo-
ment, thata brain cerebrates most eff
GENTLY when it is weary. AS sharp
knife cuts more smoothly and easily than
a dull one, SO brain full of force and
vigor grasps and understands better than
an exhausted one. --Dio Leaois's Monttlv.
