rend the hearts of our fashionable

thousand black cartridges have been
killed in certain Indian provinces in

birds, and 800, 900 pairs of wings. We
are told, too, that often "after the
birds are shot down, the wings are
wrenched off during life, and the

His Third Punishment.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The story is told of missionary
who, as certain old Vermont farmer
remarked, "has been unfortunate in
his wives" This missionary had
married In this country and taken
his wife with him to India. There,
after two years, she died, and the
broken. hearted widower received per-
mission from the missionary society
of his church to come home. Here
he promptly consoled himself, and
with his second spouse returned to
the field of his former labor. But
fate was still unkind, and at the end
OF the year ne was once more be-
reaved. Again he bes0ught the per-
mission of his board to return home,
but this time they gently but firmly
declined. saying that they did not
feel justified In the expense of giving
him two Vacations within two wears.
They suggested, delicately, how.
ever, that If his desire was to recoup
himself for the recent loss, it was
possible for him to deputlze q
friend to secure for him q new part
ner OF his joys aud sorrows. This he
accordingly did, and after considerable
correspond ence and sundry delays
the twice bereaved widower received
word that the bride selected for him
was on her way to his arms. The day
the steamship was signaled the bride
