change was quite noticeable. The discharge

DRESSED IN WHITE.

Twas quite clearly I remember.
On Sunday in September.
Sunday night:
And in church we were together,
Shea night Of summer weather
Dressed in white.
I'd no book. by some omi ssfon,
And the space of our division
Lesser grew;
Lesser grew since she perceiving
Plight, half hers would be relieving.
Nearer drew.
Then if fingers strayed together
Round the soft morocco leather
In that song;
If in singing leant nearer
To her cheek, to read the clearer,
Was it wrong?
Was it wrong? The cheek was blushing
Next to mine. and mine was flushing
Next her signs.
If 1 thrilled was it amazing
At the unexpected raising
OF her eyes?
And always shall remember
Twas a morning in December,
Frosty, bright;
That, in church again together,
She was rightly-'spite the weather
Dressed in white!

TYPICAL CRIMINALS.
Italian Scfentists Have Discovered 2
Type of Man AbnOrmally
Bad from Birth.

LOmbrosO and the Italian school saw
that they have discovered type of man
who is born criminal, and who may
be recognized by Monaghan face, alb
normal features, ilI-shaped ears, un-
symmetricalskun and various physical
peculiarities which are the result of
bad organization. This doctrine is illus
trated by descriptions of criminals who
have the abnormalities, and in the
hands of .skillfu1 writer's the case is
made very plausible: The theory is in
harmony with so much popular mod
ern thought, which loosely interprets
the doctrine of evolution by Grass ma
teriaiism, that it has infected Ameri-
can prison literature, while it has never
misled those men to whom practical
experience has given the most right to
have an opinion on the subject. The
sense of personal responsibility is still
the foundation of social order, and if
in truth there is no such thing, the
world is awake at last from its dream
of morality; righteousness is resolved
into heredity, structure and habit; liv-
ing is a mere puppet show, and the
wreck of things impends. If Lombroso
is right, modern scientific methods are
sure to prove him SO, and we shall have
have no world in which they can be
used, for the dissolution predicted by
Herbert Spencer will have come.-Rev
Samuel G. Smith. Ii. D., in Appletons'
Popular Science Monthly.

refuge IN the house on the shores of Turtle
bay, and they had thus far eluded capture
by retreating by day to the concealed quar-
tiers before described
From there Ames had proceeded to
STRIKER (another link in the chain of secret
patriots), hoping through him to find the
means of getting to the jersey shore or
above the lines at Kingsbridge; but partly
through the fact that all points of possible
escape were doubly guarded, and partly
through the adventure caused by my going
to the Dove, he could obtain 20 help from
the innkeeper. However, as he had further
protected his sister by starting Lowney's
the northward, and had ended the days of
the tory blackleg himself, his errand could
hardly be considered fruitless.
The only remarkable point in the Sc
quence of events that had brought us all to-
gether was that 1 should have met Rex
In the nick of time and had him made known

There was nothing in his present appear
ance by which | could have connected him
with the scorched youth had encountered
at the fire. He was now clean shaved, and,
with the CRIME of smoke washed from his
face, his singed hair replaced by white
wig, and his entire change of csstume, he
was an aged Quaker if one peered not too
closely at the lines which had been laid upon
his features. o
The details of their escape and a recital of
my own adventures were given as we re-
called ourselves with hasty meal in room
beneath the attic. Though solid shutters
were over the windows, they were further
protected from any CLEAN of light straying
outward by hanging of sheets nailed to
the casing. This closeness made the heat
sitting, but physical discomfort was small
matter, and was almost forgotten as

Like band of plotting freebooters in
masquerade we must have appeared as we
sat at the small table with it's single candle,
talking in whispers, the. girl and her broth
er in their incongruous characters making
the strong points of the picture, while the
tall, long-featured man, whose melancholy
cast was instantly corrected by smile, sat
opposite me, more than sufficient foil to
my proportions.
My host never laughed, but his smile was
a passport to favor, making his natural ex-
preston sour by contrast as though he
was acting a part when his face was in re-
pose. Of the little band of those who re-
manned in New York, and were under
handed though active in their devotion to
the cause, saw not one but who an

CHAPTER XIV.
THE SEQUENCE OF EVENTS.

Whether our meeting would prove for
good or evil fortune the future alone would
tell. but certain it was there was nothing
remarkable in the fact of our coming to-
gether. Twas but natural that the girl had
flown straight from Clinton to where she
might expect to find her brother, and, as the
report of his escape had been true, she there
found him. Her freedom from arrest had
been due to the same cause or causes that
had allowed me to retain my own liberty on
that memorable Sabbath; namely. the lack
of military precaution at headquarters on
that day and the audiences and unlocked
for nature of the episode. Once ander the
roof of Quaker relative, she and her broth
er had been quickly disguised and passed
through the lines as father and son, finding
