TRUE HEROISM.
Let others write of battles fought On bloody,ghastly fields Where honor greets me man who win*.
And dentil the man who yields Hut I will write of him who lights And vanishes his sins, Who struggles on through weary years
Against himself and wins. He Is a hero staunch and brave, Who tights an unseen foe, And put* at last beneath his fbet
Ills passions base and low And stands erect In manhood's might Uixlauuted, undismayed Tlx- bravest man that drew a sword
In foray or In raid. It calls for something more than brawn Or muscle to o'ercomo An enemy, who uiareneth not
With tanner plume, and drum— A foe forever lurKing mgn, With silent, stealthy trend. I'orever near your board by day,
At night ooslrto your wkl All honor then to that brave heart, Though poor or rich he be, Who struggles with the baser part*
Who conquer* and^l* free lie may not wear a hero's crown, Or till a hero's grave But truth will place his namearctut
The hravwit of the bruvu.

"Dead--5ot Delivered."
Meeting the letter carriers as tney leave the post-office with their bulky sacks crowded with letters, one must wonder, says the Detroit Fret Prat, how they can distribute each and every one to its proper owner, but, bless you! they fife further than that. After they have oeen on a route for awhile they can tell much more about a family than they ever do. Thej know if one of the children is away, if visitors are coming, if any of the relatives are dead, 'and many other things hardly known to the nearest neighbor. An envelope is nothing but an envelope to you. You may criticise the liana writme and the orthography, but bevond that you care nothing.' To the letter-carrier it is a book. He knows when father and mother are coming—where a truant boy is—whether the familv are respected or not, and Sarah's be&u cannot blind the carrier by getting some one else to direct the envelope.
One day one of the oldest carriers had a letter left over after he had gone his round. It was directed to a woman living in a little old house standing "back from the street, and, as he studiec the address he said to himself that he had never had an epistle for her before in all the six or seven years he had beer on the route. The post-mark was that of an office in the far west, and the carrier mused to himself: "This is from her son, and she will Xx crying before I am out of sight."
He delivered the letter to a whif&feced woman of sixty, who seemed to be living there all alone, and she looked surprised as he placed it in her hand. "A letter for me—I haven't a relative on earth!" she gasped. But he left it with her.
In about three weeks a second letter tame, and an old lady opened the door before the carrier was inside the gate. She did not say that it was from her son, but the carrier knew for all that, and lie hoped that the truant boy had settled down for life and was writing cheering words and was sending aid to his poor old mother. Regularly every three weeks, for half a year or more, there came a fat-looking letter for the old woman in the little cabin, and if the letter was a day late her white face at the window reproached the carrier more than words could have done. If it was a day early she was at the door to meet him, knowing his step from ali others which passed that way.
The other day when the carrier found the buff envelop, directed in the old familiar cramped lmnd, he said toliimjcir "l will nurry around to-day, for the last time I saw her she seemed ill and weak, and a letter will give her new strength." He opened the gate with a bang, to give her warning, but no white lace appeared at the window and no hand raised the door latch. The carriei knocked on the door for the first time and after a momeiit a woman opened it and said: "She is dead, and she hasntA iclative in the city!"
Among the letters to go to the dead tetter office from Detroit vill be one across whose face is written a whole chapter in th *oe words.* "Doad—liot Delivered." An old woman has passed away—a cottap deserted—a letter returned. The world will see nothing in these simple fitcts, but yet in them is contained all the sentiment God has evor given to any human heart
A Magician's Bonanza.
A strolling sleiglii of hand man struck oilverton, Col., recently. Tho news was spread Chat he was in town, and the miners immediately hired a hftll for him. Dozens of willing hands soon stocked it with rude benches. An extempore stage was erected. Lights were arranged around the large room, and the bewildered necromancer was introduced to this hurriedly constructed theater amid loud and prolonged choering. A miner took the "door, and announced that he had nono of those new fangled arrangements called tickets, with cowpoiuis on 'em, but all who wanted to see the fun must plank down a dollar and a half. Many handed him a two-dollar bill, and some gave five, and would take nc cliange. The hall was crowded, and the Wizard of the West changed coins from one dish to another, drew untold wonders from a lint, and played other old tricks, amidst shouts and yells of applause. The easy rend familiar manner with which he handled cards won their unbounded admiration, and when he allowed a miner to fire a revolver at him and then caught the ball in his teeth, the crowd unanimously voted him a "boss," and were with difficulty prevented from practicing on him with their pistols at once. They gave him the entire proceeds, wouldn't take

llung on False Confessions. In the year 1600 two men named Perry, and their mother, were hanged for the murder of a man who had never been murdered at all. Mr. Harrison, Ifldy Campden's steward, having been collecting his rent?, suddenly disappeared. Jonn Perry accused his mother, nfuiself and brother of having robbed Mr. Harrison in the previous year, and of having robbed him and murdered him on the night when he was missed. The mother and Richard Perrv denied all knowledge of the matter but at length pleaded guilty to the first indictment under some pressure of policy. Tho other indictment was not then proceeded with, on the ground that the body was not found. But John persisted in his story, and at the next assises they were all tried fov murder. John then retracted his con Cession, ami said lie must have been ititi«l Nevertheless, tliev were all condemned Some vears after Mr. Harrison appeared alive, and thus accounted for
