est was found on his person. The boy &C
knowledged that the money was not his
own, saying that it was given him by
negro in Jail for murder, with instruc-
tions TO send $50 to pay his lawyer and
keep the other $3.50 The murderer in jail,
as proven by the testimony Of the two men
who had been convicted of r1bhng Mr..
Blandenburg. was n party to the robbery.
So the bill is traced back to negro who
robbed Blandenburg. Capt. Aldridge was
satisfied of the ownership of the bill, and
went to Mr.. BIandeuburg's home to have
him identify the bill The old man refused
TO swear that it was his, though he affirmed
positively that it was. The old man never
took an oath in his life and cannot be per
suaded to do so under any circumstances.
He illustrated his position by saying: 81
have paid for that house there and know
it is my home, but will not swear to it, W
OF course there was no other person who
could identify the bill, and the bill was
turned over TO the City Clerk, in whose
hands it has been ever since.

Don't Like EveIina Nor MacauIay.


"Evelina" had the luck to be pub
lished at a period of remarkable dearth
as regards works Of fiction-one, more
over, during which all the best writer's
were women. No important novel, writ
ten 10y a man, was published between
Humphrey Clinker If that was i'm
portant-and "Waverley," an interval of
thirty three years. During that time
first our authoress and then Miss Fer
rier, Miss Austen, and Miss Edgeworth,
wrote some or all of their best
works. 1t must, l think, be owned
that the first OF the four in time
is the last in merit In "Evelina, es-
pecially, there appears so little know
ledge of the world as fairly to confirm
the notion that its writer was a girl fresh
from the nursery. There is something
preposterOus in the manners attributed
to the lords and ladies of that pre-revo-
lutionary age and to persons associating
with them. Noblemen and baronets
are sort of privileged class, who make
and drop the acquaintance Of people
in general without introduction and
without rule. At public balls there
are seldom any masters of the cere-
monies, still less a number of stewards
to Introduce partners to each other by
name. Every man present asks every
lady he pleases to dance with him, and
though it is not considered correct for
lady to go out with a perfect stranger,
she must, if she refuses, remain without
partner the whole evening or risk
making a quarrel. AS for the endless
vugarities attributed to the Branghtons
and their tribe, it is perhaps possible
that something of the sort may have
taken place in some of the city trades
mems families of those days, though we
NAV be sure the Burneys never
mixed in any such set. Even sub
posing. however, that Captain Miryan
and Mrs. Duvai could have been tole-
rated anywhere, tho notion OF Lord Or
ville's standing calmly by and permitting
all the Captains brutalities in the
monkey scene is altogether too absurd.
There is not, l verify believe, single
scene in any one of her contemporary
lady writers which could be paralleled
for utter impossibiIity with a dozen Of
the situations and conversations de-
scribed in "Evelina and "Cecelia" 1t
is strange that none of these faults offend
Lord Macaulay s usually fastidious taste,
especially as, though most abundant in
her first novel, they are not confined to
it. Leaving, however, this class of COM
positions, We proceed to her last work,
the so-called memoirs of her father.
And with regard to this publication we
shall, happily, be rather more in agree
ment with the reviewer. As it is now
seldom met with, l will say something
both of the judgment meted out to it |
and OF the book itself.

The Way of the World.

My harp Is out Of tune" tho Poet said,
Il" It, melody Is spirtless and dead.
The world has chilled me with Its breath OF
scOrn,
And am wenry waiting for the dawn.
"'Tis tolsome climbing up the mountain
height;
so high, the summit fades now from my sight
My bruised hands lose their hOld-pm falling
back,
The Demons OF Defeat beset my track.
SO many struggling in tho fierce, wild race,
What wonder that could not find q place?
Yet have | worked, ana hoped, and strove TO
win,
Only TO sigh at last 1t might have beenl'
With wind and tide against me, I have sailed
Through storms where cen the stOutest hearts
have quailod.
In vain-to some one else yield the crown,
Palm branches, laurels, name, fame, and re-
nowD-
ANY harp Is out Of tune, its spirit dead.
am weary aud my Muse has fed;
Ny bruised hands lose their hold, I'm falling
back.
The Demons Of Defeat beset my track"
The Poet closed his eyes aud fell asleep,
peaceful sleep 1t was. so long and deep,
He never heard the praises that men said,
So quiet there within his losly bed.
He did not know that when il was too late
Tho world rose up and called the Poet great
He asked for bread-they gave him but q
stone,
To keep guard DER his resting place, alone.
