Gus incantations, and the arrival of the
fifth ally have restored their courage that
the perilous game recommences. But the
wild ones are by this time exhausted with
their very wildness, and gather into de-
tached, weary knots; their charges are
mere feints, and at last stragg,.er is
hemmed into likely corner One mo-
ment of suspense as the nooser ereeps
noiselessly up to him; wild, abortive
struggle with the unyielding tree, and the
first fruits of the hunt are securely reaped
The remainder Of the work is compara-
lively easy. Success breeds success, and
one after the other the victims fall 70 the
wiles of their pursuers. The moon rises
over the strange scene as we leave it for
the camp; the rocks are alive with little
fires that form the centers of chattering,
hungry groups; the sea OF jungle is very
calm and pale; the grim prisoners below
are straining hopeiessly at their letters,
and shifting sullenly at the food thrown to
them; and a glorious weeks sport has
reached i happy end.

chief, the Prince de Guemenee, held high
Office under Louis XVI, and his wife was
gourernante of the Queens household.
They both left Paris one day, taking with
them 100000 ivres which were not
their own, and more than half of which
the Prince held in trust for poor working
people.
Owing to their rank the money could
not be recovered nor the thieves punished.
The sister of the Prince at once sacrificed
her private fortune to pay the poor who
had been defrauded, aud retired for the
rest of her life into a convent. Three
other noble heads of the family withdrew
from court, lived in seclusion in the country
and devoted their incomes to make up the
sum which the Prince had embezzled.
These sacrifices were made, not out of
consideration for the criminal, but avowedly
that the honor of the family of Rohan
might remain untarnished in history"
Family pride is undoubtedly strong
defense and safeguard in a young mans
character. But there are different kinds
of family pride, and he must be careful to
choose the right one Youths Companion.

Something About Gold Feet.

A word about cold feet, of which very
many complain, and such people almost
invariably suffer fromindigestion and other
arrangements. An Authorization of one Of
the ancient laws of health is "head cool
and feet warm" An Observance of this is
certainly one of the primary essentials If
a person wears WOODEN stockings. as all
ought TO do in the winter the most common
cause of cold feet is sweating of the same.
and 1t Is the consequence of wearing shoes
which are too tightly closed around the
ankles. While the walking permits them
TO do so, people suffering from the trouble
In question should wear low shoes and ION
CATERS. In very inclement weather arc
tics, worn over cloth shoes, are the best for
them; when their feet are so dressed thew
can walk In snow for hours without feeling
the cold in the slightest degree. 1t ought
TO be unnecessary to add that person
should never go to bed with cold feet. for
sleeplessneSs Is one OF the common conse-
quences. Those who can bear it safely
should, before retiring, immerse their feet
IN cold water for a moment, and then rub
them briskly with coarse towel until
they are warm For those in whom circu-
iation is deficient hot brick or flat-irop.
wrapped in flannel, is often essential. and

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.
Amo. Amas. Anat.


The warm June wind blows lightly through the
open school room door.
The shadows of the elm boughs lie quivering
on the floor,
The class of bright-faced urchins are repeating
Ger aud DER
- love, thou lowest, he loves
We love, you love, they love"
The elm leaves softly rustic, by the wandering
breezes stirred:
Through the open window float the hum of bee
and song of bird.
And fainter still ana fainter grows each oft
repeated word
- love, thou lowest. he loves,
We love, you love- they love"
But the teachers thoughts have followed the
flight of bird aud bee,
And her eyes behold q picture that no othel
eyes can see.
While ihe monotones accompanies sweetel
melody
love. thou lowest, He loves
We love, you love, they love"
Still the shadows flicker, quiver-wanders the
June wind at WILL
Little knows the weary teacher why her hear
grows strong aud still
Knows not why new peace and beauty seem the
sweet June day TO fill
q love, thou lowest, He loves,
We love. you love- they love"

Two Kinds of Pride.

\ young man employed as teller in a
bank in one of our seaboard cities, at a
moderate salary, after year or two estab-
lished his family in a luxurious home His
wife dressed in the extreme of fashion and
gave expensive social entertainments: his
children were sent to fashionable schools,
while he drove some of the finest horses in
the city.
The suspicion of the officers of the bank
was at length aroused. He was proved to
have embezzled large sums, was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to long imprison-
ment. When he was asked what tempted
him to commit an act of such egregious
folly and crime, he replied:
Because was resolved that my family
SHOULD move in society. would rather
die than live in town where they could
not belong to the first circle"
Contrast this incident, which is literal
fact. with the story of an old family of
France under the Bourbons, taken from
private memoirs of that time.

For the RECoRD-UNIoN.
AT REST.

Written in memory of A. J. Stevens. Genera
Master Mechanic of the Southern Pacific Rail
road, who died February IL, 1888.
Rest, calmly rest, in dreamless sleep,
With folded hands aud life-work done
While loving friends above thee weep,
Whose tears of grief can ne'er recall
The heart-thrObs to thy puIseleSs breast,
Or wake thy deep and silent rest.
In peaceful slumber rest thee now,
Freed from the cares of earthly strife,
Thy soul hath sought its sweet repose,
Hath passed through death, hath entered life
Friend, counselor, guide, in peace sleep on,
The cross you've borne, the crown you've won
A faithful friend. kind, just and true,
Esteemed by all who knew his worth
lie won a name more valued far
Than heritage or pride of birth:
a silent, tireless worker 10 the field
OF science-one that ne'er would yield
Ye, who now weep beside your dead,
With hearts oppressed with grief and care.
Know that the saddest tears you shed
Bring no relief-naught but despair
Could teaIs but bring thy loved one back TO thee
An II they could but yet that neer can be.
Bring flowers, kind friends. and deck his tomb
BRING howers whose fragrance fill the air,
And place them on his lonely grave
With gentle hand aud loving care;
Though here we greet him nevermore,
lie Is not lost, but gone before"

JACK HORNER.
Almost every child has been early taught
to repeat the lines:

Almost every child has been early taught
to repeat the lines:
Little Jack Horner
| Sat in the corner,
! Eating q Christmas pie;
| He put in his thumb,
| And pulled out plum,
| And said What 4 brave boy am l ~
And Jack has generally been regarded as
a nice, fat little boy, who, having pleased
his mother by his good conduct, has been
rewarded by a pie of his own. And we
have thought of him as sitting quietly in
the chimney corner, enjoying his pie and
when he pulled ont that plum, wondering
if it were full of plums
But among the many " investigations y
of the present day, it appears that Jack
Horner, though boy, was "defaulter +"
to serious amount, and the plum which
he pulled out of his pie cost the life of
another.
A tradition which had its rise in the
county of Somersetshire, England, has at
last found place in history, and seems to
be looked upon as reliable.
During the imperious reign of Henry
Viii he procured by an Act of Parliament
the adjustment Of several hundred mon
| asteries, and court was established for the
management OF their revenues and their
silver, all of which he ordered granted for
his benefit.
When the Act came in force, at the mon
, astery at Wells it was determined by the
abbot that the title-deeds of the abbey es-
tates, and the valuable grange attached,
should not be confscated by the king, but
sent to the Commissioners of London.
The abbot, wishing for some safe method
of conveying them, finally hit upon this
curious device: To avoid their being
taken, he thought the safest method would
sent rs present to one of the Commission
ers. The trustiest messenger, and one
little likely to excite suspicion, was boy
named Jack Horner, the son of poor parents
living in the neighborhood of the monas-
terry. lie set out on foot carrying the pie
1t was tiresome journey, and the road
probably had few attractions, so selecting
comfortable corner on the wayside, Jack
sat down to rest. Like most boys on such
occasions, he began to think of something
to eat and, having no well-filled bag to
go to, he thought he might take little
from the inside of the PIE, and it would
never be missed.
So =" he put in his thumb" when to his
establishment he found only papers. This
was poor satisfaction to the hungry lad,
but he had wit enough to conclude that
papers sent in such manner must be val
liable, SO he determined to pocket one,
which he did, and pursued his journey.
Upon delivering the pie, it was at once
discovered that the chief deed was miss
ing, and as it was thought the abbot had
withheld it, an order was at once sent for
his execution, for not the slightest sus-
picion seems to have fallen upon Jack.
Years after, the paper was found in the
possession of Jacks family, which, being
the deed to abbey estates, was a "plum"
of some value.

A WORD TO BOYS.

You are made to be kind, boys, generous,
magnanimous.
If there is a boy IN school who has Il
club-foot, don't let him know you ever
saw it.
If there is a poor boy with ragged
clothes, don't talk about rags in his hear
ing.
If there is a lame boy, assign him some
part in the game where he need not run.
If there is a hungry one, give him part
of your dinner.
If there is a dull vne, help him IN his
lesson.
If there is bright one, be not envious
of him for if one boy is proud of his tai
ents, and another is envious of them, there
are two wrongs, and no more talent than
before-Erchanqe
