Lets go down: it isn't serene here"
said one of the robbers.

A sigh of relief escaped my heart at
these words, which showed me that the
brigands, convinced of the uselessncss
of their search, were finally retreat

s'Sayed!
From the depth Of my heart | thank
ed Heaven for the unexpected succor

pared to climb back to the tower.
There wos nothing agreeable in my
situation, and now that the danger had

wrists and arms.

The most profound silence rcigned at
the summit of the tower. Preparing
for the efforts | had to make, raised
my head 10 calculate the distance which
separated me from the crest OF the
wall.
The captain. carelessly leaning on
the edge of the platform, fixed his
fierce eyes on me, and looked al me
with a smile Of irony.

Without answering, FL Nino leaned
over TO seize me.
/ removed one hand from the bar,
and drew one Of the pistols which |
had stuck in my belt, ready cooked.
''You shan't escape me. comrade,"
| said the bandit, with a fiendish sheer.
II will kill you!' / cried, covering
him with my pistol.
At this moment felt the bar bend

The Original OF FauntIeroy.

Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, in
reply to the charge that she SERVED
Little Lord Fa~untleroy" from Miss
Winthrop's "Wilired," says: There
is one person to whom l am slavishlyI
indebted for all that Fauntleroy is; but
for that person the book never would
and never could have been written.
When it occurred to me TO write it he
was q small man of seven, with the
.sunnicst, sweetest nature that ever
made brighter a little fellows beauty.
There is not a speech of Fauntleroy's
which is not a plagiarism of his quaint
ness. He had an English mother whom
it was his pretty habit to call Dearest
and he had been born and had lived in
America. Every day he un-
consciously wrote Fauntleroy for me-"

A Parson.

A pious parson good and true
Was crossing DER the seas,
When suddenly there fercely blew
A wild aud sweeping breeze.
He feared the storm the ship would wreck
His heart was sore afraid,
He sought the captain on the deck
And found him undismayed,
The captain saw his awful fear
And led him up to where
The servant of the Lord could hear
The sailors loudly swear.
you clearly see, - the captain said,
IF danger lowered nigh
They'd all be on their knees instead
And asking grace TO die"
The parson felt his words were true,
And when the skies grew fair
He marveled how the sailors knew
just when TO pray or swear.
But when the seas which wildly flowed
Had ceased TO plunge and spout,
Unto himself he said 1t showed
They know what their about"
But later on another storm
Came fercer tho n before.
The parson heard with wild alarm
The oceans angry roar
lie sought the deck in awful dread
To near the sailors get,
He listeped-then he bowed his head
Thank God, they're swearing yet"

why Blind Persons Never Smoke.

A pecaliarity about the blind is that
there is seldom one of them who
smokes. Soldiers and sailors &C
customed to smoking and who have
lost their sight in action continue to
smoke for a short while. but soon give
up the habit. They say tn; . it gives
them no pleasure when they a not
see the SMOKE. aud some have said that
they a not taste the smoke unless
they see it. This almost demonstrates
the theory that IL You blindfold Q
. man in u roomful of smoke and put a
lighted aud unlighted cigar in his
mouth alternately ne will not he able
