She Sues for False ImprisOnment and
Signs Away Her CT aim.
NEwBURaH, N Y, April 12.-Nancy

another sensation. Nancy is the girl
who was arrested last August for being
IN improper character and railroaded
to the Hudson Reformatory for Women
for Ave years by Justice Avery of High

appeal was taken and she was dis
charged. She immediately brought

ment placing damages at $4,000.
Last week it was rq1nored that she
had settled her case for $125. Her
counsel learned from Nancy that on
April Z Rev o. S. McMurdy, of the
Presbyterian Church of Highland Falls,
aided by Mrs. Henry G. Parry, repre-
sented to Miss Garrison that it would
be for her own good to forgive Justice
Avery for sending her away, adding
that it was owing to opportunities of
outside parties who made complaints.
The minister added that the squire was
worth nothing, anyhow and she might
better settle it than to get nothing at
all if she carried the case to court.
Nancy agreed to settle and written
document was handed her to sign. She

EDUCATION AND CRIME.

Benjamin Reece, in the current num-
Der of the Popular Science Monthly,
shows by official and incontestable stat
istics that in the more highly educated
states Of the union the ratio Of vice and
CRIME is enormously greater than in the
most illiterate portions. For example,
South Carolina, with more than half of
its population illiterate, has but one de-
linquent in every sos inhabitants, while
in Massachusetts, there is one delinq uent
to every $50 of the population. Again,
he shows from the annual report of the
superintendent of the New York
state prisons that in the year 1886
there were confined in the prisons of
Auburn and Sing Sing, 2,Gl6 convicts !:
OF these sol are credited with COM
mon school education, 3,3 are classed as
being able to read and write, 10 are re-
turned as collegiates, 10 as having re-
ceived classical and IS academic educa-
tions, 81 as being able to read only, and
but 27S as having no education and he
Justly asks, "Is it not contrary to our
most confident predictions and undoubt-
ed expectations that the common schools
should furnish eighty-three per cent
and the colleges and academies over
four per cent Of the inmates of Auburn
and Sing Sing?"

Going, or Gone.

Going, or Gone.
Nothing that lives can bloom
Long upon earth;
Joys that our days illumc,
Die IN their birth;
All that the soul admires,
All that the heart desires,
From heart and soul expires,
Leaving but dearth.
Stars as they light the hours,
Steal them away;
Rays which unfold the flowers,
Bring them decay;
Even morn's beams OF light,
Fresh on their heavenly flight,
Shine but to speed tho night;
Nothing can stay.
Pleasures. like cloudlets, smile
When the days done;
Golden and purple while
Fingers the sun;
All that our heurts can say
Ofthose who blessed our way,
Is that, like meteors they
Shone-and are gone.
Selected.
Compensation.
There are smiles in the mornin" and tears ~
night.
The wide world over;
There are hopes in the morning and prayers u
night,
For many o rover.
There are tears unwept and songs unsung
And human anguish keen,
And hopes and fears and smiles and tears
But the blessings fall between!

In Quiet Revery.
Sometimes in quiet rcvery
When day is growing dim,
The heart is singing silently
A sweet unwritten hymn.
The strains are not to measure wrought,
BY cunning OF tho mind,
But seem like hymning angels brought
From Heaven, and left behind
The misty hills Of bygone grief,
Once dark to look upon,
Stand out like blessings in relief
Against the etiing sun.
The rain may fall, the wind may blow;
The soul unhindered sings,
While like the bird meath sheltoring bough
She sits with folded wings
A brief and pleasant resting space,
A glance at Beulah land,
Before she girds herself apaoe
For work that waits the hand
Then, giving thanks to Him who poured
Refreshments in her CUP,
She hears the calling Of her Lord,
And takes her labor up.
