Caleb Cushing.

/ met one of Caleb Cushing's init
mate friends the other day, and he re-
marked casually upon the singular
''outs'' of the great lawyer. Cushing
had no Imagination and no sympathies,
nor had he any creative or constructive
ability. He was, perhaps, the finest
"case'' lawyer of his time. His splen-
did mind was splendidly filled with eNau-
thorities. " He knew all the law there
was ON any point, and he had it at his
tongue's end. When he was on the
bench in Massachusetts the lawyers
said they wanted his opinion whenever
it was question which, could be settled
BY an appeal to precedents. But when
eser new question arose upon which
no Judge had ever passed they wanted
to hear from some one else. Gushing
did not know how to converse. An eX-
change of ideas, such as occurs in the
ordinary conversation, was beyond his
grasp. He could talk for hours when
he had mounted the pedagogue's stool
in fact he loved to talk when he could
oct into that didactic strain. He liked
TO instruct other people at no matter
what expense of time and trouble. He
loved his family very dearly. His at
tachmont to his nearest relatives was
very much closer than is usual. But he
found difficulty in expressing his affec-
ton. They had very little in common,
and when he was with them Cushing
let them do all the talking. Now and
then he would break in with a remark
almost incomprehensible to them. A
little conversation at relatives tea
table shows the mans peculiarities.
Cushing had said nothing for some
time. At length little Johnnie, the
small boy of the family, reaching out
for the raspberry jam, remarked; al
want some of that there" 'John, :"
said Cushing solemnly, coming to the
surface of consciousness again, ''your
remark is both vague and ambiguous"
"Well," said Johnnie, speaking for the
entire family, 81 didn't understand you
when you were here before, and | don't
understand you now" - Washington

The Assassination of the Prince
Orange.


Philip H. had promised %, 900 crown.
of gold to any one who would murder
the Prince of Orange. An attempt HAD
already been made, but had failed, and
William had refused to take any meas
ures for self-protectiOn, saying: ut is
useless: my years are in the hands of
Cod if there is wretch who has no
fear of death my life is in his hand
however | may guard it." At length a
young man of seven and twenty APP
peared at Delft, who gave himself out
to be one Guyon, q Protestant, son of
Pierre Guyon, executed at Besancsn
for having embraced Calvinism. and
declared he was eXiled for his religion.
Really he was Balthazar Gerard, a
bigoted Catholic, but his conduct in
Holland soon procured for him tire
reputation of an evangelical saint The
Prince took him into his service and
sent him to accompany a mission from
the States of Holland to the Court of
France, whence he returned to bring
the news of the death of the Duke OF
Aniou to William. At that time the
Prince was living with his Court in the
convent of St. Agatha, where he received
Balthazar alone in his chamber The
moment was opportune, but the would
be assassin had no arms ready. Will
lam gave him a small sum of money
and babe him hold himself in readiness
to be sent back to France. With the
money Balthazar bought two pistols
from soldier, who afterward killed
himself when he heard the use which
was made of the purchase. On de-
next day, June 10, 1854, Balthazsr re-
turned to the convent as William was
descending the staircase to dinnr with
his fourth wife, Louise de Coligny,
daughter of the Admiral who fell ia
the massacre of st. Bartholomew on
his arm. He presented his passport
and begged the Prince to sign it. but
was told to return later. At dinner the
Princess asked William who was the
young man who had spoken to him, for
his expression was the most terrible she
had ever seen. The Prince laughed,
said it was Guyon, and wasas gay as
usual. Dinner being over, ae family
party were about to remount the stair
case. The assassin was visiting in
dark corner at the foot of the stairs,
and as William passed he discharged a
pistol with three balls and fed. The
Prince staggered, saying: Il am
wounded; God have mercy upon me
and my poor people. His sister, Cath
crime Van Schwartzbourg, asked: "Do
you trust in Jesus Christi" He said

A Street Singers Romance.

Ever since | came to live in the Rue
Saint Florentin a poor woman has
paused under my balcony every Mon
day and Thursday to sing some old
ballad or war song in voice which
shows unmistakable marks of profess
sional training Her face has always
had a happy, contented look, and she
walked along leading by the sleeve of
his coat an old blind man, who played
on an ACCORDION an accompaniment to
her songs. Last Monday week the
couple failed to make their appearance,
and when Thursday came round ny
little friend was alone and there was
black ribbon IN her cap. was leaving
home that day the very moment w~Sfk
she entered the street. l stopped to
hear her sing in front of the Rothschild
mansion, and there was mournful
tone about her voice which told, with
the black ribbon, the story of some
deep distress. Her ballad ended,
asked her after her old companion.
t'He is dead, SIR said she, "and if
what the priests tell us is true, he is
happy now, for he was always good to
me-" They had both been actors, he
a ieune premier, playing in the prov
inces under the sonorous name of Bel
pasteur, and she q promising young
soubrette. They fell in love, were mar
ried, and for years lived happily to-
gether on the thirty dollars month
which their combined talents earned
for them. Belpasteur was past the age
for military service when the war with
Prussia broke ont, but he enlisted sill
the same and remained at the front
until fever sent him to the hospital.
Six months later, when he returned to
Paris he was totally blind. II won't be
ableto eeyou any more, ma mignonne, ="
said he to his wife, '.but will still
work for YOU" @tNo, mon annie, will
work for both of us. You may help
me if you like, and we shall get along
very happily" and from that day she
began to sing in the streets while he
played the ACCORDION with his trembling
fingers. Good people used to open
their windows and throw pennies
wrapped up in scraps of paper down on
the paving stones, whence small dog
would fetch them to his master, who
would stop his playing to lift his cap
and return his thanks to the giver.
Her song the other day didn't sound
quite right minus the accompaniment
of that wheezy accordion, and I'm
afraid the poor woman's pennies will
be less numerous than they were when
she was giving out-of-door concerts, as
sisted by the old man and his dog.

Ridiculing the Unfortunate.

/ shall never forget an incident of my
childhood, by which | was taught TO be
careful not to wound the feelings of the
unfortunate. A number of us school
children were playing by the roadside
one Saturday afternoon. when the stage
coach drove up 10 the neighboring
tavern and the passengers alighted. AS
usual, we gathered around to observe
them. Among them was an elderly
gentleman with y cane, who got out
with much difficulty, and when on the
ground he walked with the most curious
contortions. His feet turned one way,
his knees another, and his whole body
locked as though the different MEM
bers were Independent of each other,
and every one was making motions to
suit itself.
| unthinkingly shouted: "Look at
old Rattle Bones!" while the poor man
turned his head, with an expression of
pain which l can never forget. just
then, to my surprise and extreme hor-
ror, my father came around the corner,
and Immediately stepping up to the
stranger, shook hands warmly, and as
sisted him to walk to our house, which
was but short distance.
| could enjoy no more play that after
noon, and when tea-time came l would
gladly have hidden myself; but | knew
it would be in vain. and so tremblingly
went into the sitting-room, To my
great relief, the stranger did not recog-
nize me, but remarked pleasantly to
my father, as he introduced me:
"Such q fine boy is surely worth the
savingm
How the words cut me to the quick!
My father had often told me the story
of friend who plunged into the river
to save me, as | was drowning when an
infant, and who, in consequence OF
cold then taken, had been made a
cripple by inflammatory rheumatism;
and this was the man | had made a
butt of ridicule, and laughing-stock
for my companions!
l tell you, boys and girls, l would
give great deal to have the memory
of that event taken away. If ever you
are tempted as | was, remember that
while no good comes of sport whereby
the feelings of others are wounded, you
may be laying up for yourselves pain.

you for lifetime. --The Christian.

Telegraphing by Wholesale.

A new telegraph line has just been
opened between Boston and Providence.
which introduces n new idea into the
general telegraph business of the coun-
try. The purpose of the new invention
is not so much to compete for general
commercial business, as it is to afford
an absolute secret and safe system OF
private telegraphing at low expense.
The invention is as marvellous in its
way as the telephone. In the well.
known quadruplex system of tele-
graphy, four messages may be sent
at once over one wire, all in one
direction, or part one way and the rest
the other Speed of transmission varies
with the number of operators. Six men
can use.the wire, and each send thirty.
five words minute, but if twelve
should use it the speed would be re-
duced to twenty words. Hartford

An Ocean Horror.

The steamship Estate of Florida"
goes down in mid-ocean with nearly
all on board. The third officer of the
ship says: "We left New York on
the 18th of April, with about lG7
passengers and crew and a full general
cargo. All went we'll until the night
of the 18th, at II 80, when we col
lided with the bark Ponewa of Chath-
am, N. B., Capt; Hepburn. Both
vessels went down almost instantly,
and out of the steamers passengers
and crew only Al, including the
stewardess. managed to escape in the
boats of the bark's crew of Is only
the captain and two seamen were saved.
The next morning the bark was OBJ
served bottom up. The survivors, after
having been IS hours in the boats with
out food or water, were rescued by the
Norwegian bark Theresa Of Christiana
from that port bound for Quebec. -
A great iron steamer OF modern con-
struction, collides with Il wooden bark,
in smooth water, on a calm and clear
night, and sinks so quickly that only
one in four of its occupants escape =
But we are told that the steamers Of
ficers were all careful and well-trained
seamen. The circumstances attending
this disaster were such as to show that
it would not have happened but for the
gross and criminal carelessness of some
one. If that some one can be found
alive and strung up by the neck until
he is dead it may have q tendency to
make some OF these men who are class
ed as careful and well-trained seamen'
have some regard for the precious lives
entrusted to their care. The City of
Columbus, the Daniel Steinman and
the State of Florida all went to the bot
tom, and their hundreds of human oc-
cupants were drowned, because of the
neglect and carelessness of cable and
well-trained seamen." Here is another
chance for reform.
