That was the ewe with the Joan fellow of whom a la ly writes in the Journal of Education- Sne says: I was a Yankee ecawol-teacher way down South. I was yoan and f all of z-al. My ecboiais caegbt my entbniestiu We were Laving a happy session. Thre weeks cf the t-rm Lad passed. AtTairs in the school-room wre aoDt; soioothly and pleasantly. Sot a harsh word had been spoken. "It is rf a'Jy delightful," I wrote to ray sister. 'Southerners have been misrepresented. I never saw Massachusetts pupils so niilir p ard easer aa tbf si scholars of mine. I have found the Paradise of school-teachers. Tli" inr.s are as sweet as their trarden r jses aLd the bcv ar manly and true." Tut a slight cloud toon appearei in the sunny ftky. A new scholar canie on tbe fntrth Monday, He was f'Oiu "Pleaaant YaL'ey." be said. He 4 had kept school, but wanted to be lsarnt a little more." He W6S tail, rsd-hairtd, red-whiskered, bine-eyed atd blushing. "He'll give t, e no trouble," I ta-'d to myself, but I had yet ti learn tbe way of the wori,d, and of Southern moantain boys. On Tuesday mora ins I was in my usual place, and had my first word of reproof to cav. I hastened to utter it as soon as the epenirg dtvotions were ended: 'Young gentlemen, the one who take3 care of the house tells me that some of your r laceä are covered with filthy tobacco-juice I am sorry that any of you use the name jus weed. I feel sure that you will grant my request and leave no marks of this dad habit upon the tloor of our school-room." A pleasant smile and a nod ran from face to face around the room, and I felt that my request would be gladly heeded by all save cue, at least. The fsce of the new scholar ehowd beneath its blushes a trace of mortified pride and sulky self conceit. "He's wfll-narred Stamper," slid Katie Knight, es st e walked home with me at noon. "He stamps round as though he owned 'all creation and the nigsters.' " "lie needs to have a little more knowledge stamped into his bushy head," I though; but I said not a word to Kate. On Wedcisday morning. Stamper's place was covered with tobacco-juice. Stamper's ejes were on his book. Stamper's fingers were busy with "tbe United States Knie." Stamper's teacher was thinking of her broken l nie, and wondering whether Stamper carried a pistol. 'You hea'd my request yesterday, young gentlemen," I said in a trembling, yet determined voice. "It must be obeyed. Gentlemen do s xnetimes smoke and chew. I have seen them do it, and have been sorry for it; bat cue tbirg I am sure of no pentleman would make rilthy a school room floor afrer he I ad ceen requested by his teacner to do otherwise." .Netting mere waseaid. Stamper stamped cut. He did not come bacfc that day. "He ent down to Willow Dell Seminary. " tald John to Kate, after school. "Sa8 he'll show the Yankee rchoolmarm how to call him 'no gentleman.' " Oa Thursday morning the devotions were p'eseant bnt solemn. The teacher's voice was tremblirg and tamest. Stamper was in his p'a-e. He looked triumphant and enapped his bine eye as much as to say, "She won't dare to touch me!" "ifr. Stamper!" I siid, after a few moments ot quiet study; acd a few glaoce3 in a particular direction made every one suspect tbat srxething unusca' was C9ming. "Mr. Stamper, will you rise?" "Mam? ' said the astonished six-footer. "Will you please to arise?" He arore. -Will you tell me why you left school without permiesion yesterday?" "Reckon I'd better not," he at length stammered. I wish to koow why. I happen to be the tescher of tbis school 'he one who makes the r tie?. Wby did yea leav school witheut permiion, yesterday, Why did you not rturr? ' ' 'Cause ye called me no gentleman.' " "Are jou a Kentieman?" "Kecken I be." "Do gentlemen annov ladies?'' 'No, mam." "Well, sii gentleman or not t give you ten minutes to apologize and remove the filth from your place or you may leave the school house and not return. You are a absm gentleman ; we wast no such here." Stamper's face grew redder than his hair. Hi i b'ue eyes showed a shade of green. He looked round upon the unsympathlzing scholars. He looked up at the determined little teacher. He was'conquered. The filth was removed in spite of many turpreisei giggles. "I humbly ask your pardon. I'll try to keep your rules, and a heap more if you make 'em. You've rot mighty good pluck, and I've been as mean as an abolitioner. I'll etuly right smart the rest of the season." Stamper brcke no more rules. He ckewed no more tobacco. He became one of my best pnpiis, and helped to make the dear oid school-room a saony spot in rny memory.

Young Laura Wood had been cared for comfortably during several yean of helpi crphansge by Aunt ilariaHunt; bat

row kind Aunt Maria was about to leave her for a far off land; and one from whose chores there is no return. The annuity on which aunt and niece had lived comfortably, ceased, of course, with Aurt Maria's death, and Laura, at sixteen, wocid be left penniless. Aunt Mana's judicious plan had been to keep Laura at school as long as possible, hoping she would be fitted for a teacher, as it was no part of her plan to leave the young grl without sore e rt source by which she could comfortably provide for herself, when her school daj s should be ended. Bet dueese had done it3 fatal work qu ckly. and good Aun-Maria'8 only regret tit ?eav)CR a world in which abe bad seen rcTJCh sirrcw, was because shemust lfave ber dear Laura unprovided for. Jost before sfce died, sbe gave Laura one pirtinR piece of advice. She counselled her to find employment at once, whatever she could; to take tbe tint thing tbat offered which she could do at all, and to be sure and do her very best at whatever she undertook. It tried the poor child sorely, but there was no other place for herbptatthe mill. She bad often pitied the poor girls, who day after day. went by with their lunch-bask is to f pend the Iocs, tiresome day in the noisy mill. Ttey were not the companions she wjali have chosen, but work was scarce in the town where she tad lived; and owing to her auntie's secluded habits she had no friends with sctUc'cnt influence to help her to more fitting and congenial occupation. Two years later, if Auntie had only lived, she reflected, she nv'ght have been ab'e to teaoh; bat her ccurtf of etney had been interrupted rather too prematurely to admit of it now. But Laora had been faithfully trainel by a Christian guardian, and while ber heart wes very terjder from its sore bereavement, she resolved to do her very best, even thoajrg no one would take special note of hereüort, and though advancement might bs long delave C. It as eve? more laborious and trying tl an she tad anticipated, standing by a revolting loom all day. tyiEg a knot here, scatchirg at a loose thread there, clutching at astray loop which threatened detaining tangle if not straichtened on tbe instant. It had taken weeks of patient to'l to learn how to watch tbe back of the growing fabrics, and see tbat no flaw crept in through inattt nt:cn cr neglect. One day. Lu Brooks, a showy, dashing girl, approached the plsce where Laura stood, Ecissors close at hand, watching the roll of material, every inch cf which as It slowly prc:-reeEed towards completion was quickly itspected by Laura's sharp eye. It wes nearly lunch time, and Lu, basket in hand, waa evidently waiting tr the ciampirg machinery to stop its loud whim, that she might sit by Laura while they enjcyrd tbe nocn rest and ate their lancheon. "'law! what makes you so awfully par:icn!ar to snatch at evpry little thing that isn't just so tTDCoth; th&t'n cnty coarse staff you're at, anyway, and doesn't require any great i ains taken with it a ayhow :" and Lu locked contemptuously a the cloth Laura had inen wat'-bin t; so c aref r.il r. "Why," said Laura cheerfully, "the only way to ever reach the liner fibres, and work which psvs better, is to show how perfectly I can do this." "Humph!" rejoined Lu, yoi think the rfe's iuorh chance for promotion in this old barn of a j hice you're very ini,ci mistaktn.

O.d Jenks. the foreman, would rather find fault than not, and Mr. Hubbard himself hn't at all given to complimenting yoa for yenr exertiors: it's just like any other treed-mill existence," toacluded Lu, "hard work, poor pay and no thanks." "Mr. Hubbard," safd tte foreman a few weeas later, "I think if Miss Wise is about to leave the assorting room, it might be the best tbirg yon could do to put ilia Laura Weed in her place." "It's a responsible position," returned th9 proprietor, and there are a creatmany hands who have been here far longer tha? Miss Wood, but as you know, I generally leave thirds of this kind to yeur management, as yen nave better opportunity of judging the ability of different ones than I have." "It is tine." continued tne foreman, "Miss Wocd bas been with us a little short of six months, bnt her work at the loom is simply perfect. We never bid the reverse side uf the particular cloth slie nas tended so smoothly prepared until she learned ust what her duties were." A year later Mr. Jenks, tha foreman, again addressed Mr, Hubbard "I think, sir, if Woolwich is going, Miss Wcod is the young persoa to put in hi j p'ace." "But we've never had a woman in the order rcom. It takes insight into the business, acaielul knowledge of 'ust our needs requirements, a stern application to the interests of the house in every particular to anticipate and giye due notice of what must be promptly forthcoming in a house like this. Isn't Miss Wood very young to undertake such duties?" and Mr. Hubbard regarded the threwd foreman a little anxiously. "My dear sir," that gentleman replied, "ever since the day that young lady came into this mill, it has been perfectly apparent to me that her prime motive was not merely to earn her living, not simply to perform her duties mechanically and passably acceptably, as is the general rule, but there has teen conscientious attention paid to the very smallest detail of her work every time. I tell you. sir, it would be perfectly safe to trust that young girl in any department of your business she cculd be made to understand, acd her untiring application would admit cf her learning well anything she resolved to know.'' When Laura Wcod wss twenty years old, she occupied the position of confidential c!erk, chief correspondent and general aid to the wealthy Mr. Hubbard. Report says that Mr. HubbsrJ eyes nnxioosly and suspiciously one of his mo it prosperous customers, who, when he gow to the n anufacturer'e to buy goods, lingers linger at the mill and in tbe place tb.au is tecesary merely for business parposas. And tcce when ihe trusty foreman breached the sibject to Mr. Hubbard, hinting at the possible outcome of the affair, the merchant replied. "It would be an irreparable less to us, Jenks, an lue jar able los! Not that I should be very borry, but very glad, to see si fio? a girl well settled in life, and not but what she would adcrn any position; but the great value of Miss Wood's se v ces con s's'a and always bas consisted in' tbat fixed determination which certainly governs all her actioas, to do e7en the minutia of every day work in tbe best way pessib'e. "My dear sir, if 3 ourg people setting out In life wonld only rec-gniza the importance of doing things well, thoroughly and conscientiously, rather than hurridly and often imperfectly, there would be no trouble about promotion all in good time. Advancement is sore to follow the best erTorts of either man or woman, and duties often repulsive at first, will take on dignity, even beauty in their way, when accepted and discharged as what Gcd bas sent to just them to do."

"Humph!" eaid a young man at a play with a young lady. 'T could play the lover better than that myself." "I wouldn't mind seeing yon try it," was the naive reply. "Fools Bash in, Where Angela Fear to Tread." So impetuous youth ia often given to folly and indncretions; and, as a result, nervous, mental and organic debility follow, memory is impaired, self confidence is lacking; at night bad dreams occur, premature old age seems setting in, ruin is in the track.

THE SARPY GIIOST.

Joseph Sarpy owna a fine farm less than a dozen miles from a great western city, and he at least, if no one else, will bear testimony to the truth of this ghost story; also to the fact that, previous to seeing the ghost, he did not believe there could be such a thing. Although tbe owner of a farm, he is not a farmer in one sense cf the word, but devotes his time to baying and selling stock. This often necessitates long rides into the surrounding country, and sometimes far into the eight. Oce prombent trait In air. Sarpy's character must not go unmentioned. He was alwajs careful to impress upon his friend? that he was an out and out temperance man. He believed in temperance, bat cot in intemperance. The spirituf.1 command: "f eye temperate in all things," he considered applied to eating and sleeping as well as drinking. On the other hand, ternre ranee did not mean total abstinence. lis be waa certain of. and in accordance with this belief kept a jug of the best bourbon in bis. cellar, and it was a fact that cobwebs rarely, if ever, grew over tne mouth of the jug. He drank very little, he said, and never got drunk. In fact, he bad a profound contempt for a man who would get drunk, like Jim Benton, on the adjoining farm. He hid at various times lectured Jim on the vice of intemperance. "Why, Jim," he would pay, "why don't you stop when you have a dram or two, and rot make a beast of yourself? I can täte a drink, and I can let it alone, just as I please. It you do tbat, you'll get alone all right." Jim could make no answer to this argument, for while he knew he could tike a drink when he pleased, he knew he could net let it alone when he pleased. Less than a year before the advent of the ghost Mr. Sarpy had. to the surprise of everybody, married the belle of the neighborhood, MisB Mary Parrige. To the surprise, I say, for Mr. Sarpy was a little past the prime of life and cot a very prepossessing man in the main, but Mary apparently saw good in him and married him in spite of the warning of her friends with reference to his habits of taking a dram. She would break him of it shs said, but she found her in lluence powerless on that score, great as his love seemed to ba for her. He would listen attentively to her arguments, and laugh at her fears, but he would take his dram just tbe Earue, promising that when he saw it was injuring him he would stop. Thus time ran on. and the occasional dram gave the otherwise happy wife great deal of uneasiness. She tried various expedients to convince him of his danger, but he had profoutd faith in his own anility to stop whan his judgment dictated, and would not be convir ced. It was one bitterly cold winter night that the ghost came, and its coming wai the barbirgerof good. Mr. Sarpy had business in the city hat kept him away until a late hour, ana Mrs. Sarpy sat by the fire waiting for Lini. She could usually hear the sound of tbe horse's feet cn tbe stable Moor as he went in, bnt tbe wind was blowing and moflnicp so on this night that Ehe caald hear notbirp but it, Tbe clock on the mantel had just struck 12 when Mrs. Sarpy heard, above the wind, the crack of a pistol from the direction of the barn. She ran to tbe window and looked out, but could see nothing of ter has band. Again tbe pistol c.ackei.and she knew it was inside the ban. Again she heard it, end again, until she had counted seven shots. She knew fhat was the number of chambers in Mr. Sarpy's revolver, but could not imegine what he was shooting at, unless it might te a tramp, as they often lodg?d in the barn, and he had had trouble with one, of them not long ago. While she wis still ondertng and anxious, Mr. Sarpy came running across the yard and burst into the rcom exclaiming: "Give me tve lantern. Mary; there must be a ghost in the barn. I've put seven bullets into it and it didn't budge." This news noth astonished and alarmed Mrs. Sarpv, who hurriedly lit the lantern, saying: "Why, Joseph, what ia it?" "That's more than I can tell. It's something that looks like a man no on one of the high timbers, and it keeps moving all the time like bs if it was hurt. I heard it the first thing when I went in after oats for the horse. I thought it was some crazy tramp bad gotten up there, but, by George, it was tbe ghoxt:" He had by this time reloaded the revolver, and, jerking up tbe lantern he hurried off toward the barn. Now, it happened that Mrs. Sarpy was an uncommonly shrewd little woman. She bad noticed an nnnatural light in Mr. Sarpy's eye, and tbat bis hand trembled greatly ai he loaded his pistol. This, however, might bave been due to the excitement of seeing the ghost. bhe threw a shawl around her shoulders and hurried after him, determined to fee the ghost, too. Mr. Sarpy was cautiously entering tbe barn door when she came in sight, and she waited outside, listening for tbe crack of a revolver, but none caaao. She looked tiemblingly within, and there saw farpy standing up in the haymow, holding the lantern above his head and looking in great i erplexity at something on one of the crcss-timoers near the roof. "What ia it?" Mrs. Sarpy asked. "Plagued if I can tell what it is! It's no ghost, that's su:e! Come up and see if yoa cau tell!" Mrs. Sarpy had no need to climb into the mow. She instantly recognized the ghost, and exclaimed: "Why, that's nothing but a pile of Backs you put up there to keep the rats from gnawing them." "That's eo, I guess," raid Mr. Sarpy, in astonishment: "but what was that sound I heard? There it ia now." "That's nothing in the world," said Mrj. Parpy, shaking with laughter, "bat the wind blowing through that Droken widow. Yuu know it always moans that way when the wird bloas hard from tbe north " Mr. Sarpy climbed down from the mow, say leg: ' I don't know what's the matter vi!h me tonight I mast be on'of my hed. I've shot all those wheat saska fud of holes." Mrs Sarpy deftly thrust her hand into his recket, and drew out a 11 ask nearly empty. Her face became aober ia an instant, and she laid: "That's what's the matter, Joseph! You took one dram too many at last!" Mr. Sarpy made no reply. He went off to feed the horse, and as he did so debated with himself whether he could possibly have been drunk, as Mary had intimated. It had been such a bitter cold night, and be had suffered so from the cold, that be had taken more than he had supposed, as the almoet empty flask proved. He entered the house and found Mrs. Sarpy sitting by the fire crying. He bad no reason to ask her the causa of her grief. He divined ber thoughts. If it had come to this already, what would it be in the course of years? hot hing was said that night, and the next morning, when Mr. Rarpy went into breakfast, he was greatly surprised to find Mrs. Sarpy apparently in the gayest himor, lauphicg and talking as if nothing unpleasant had happened. He was glad to see that she took such a sensible view of matters, as it was only tbe beastly cold that made him forget himself. Suddenly Mrs. Sarpy said: 4II wonder when Jim Benton Is coming over?" ' Wby, what do yoa want to eee Bsnton for?" he asked, with a auspicious foreboding. "I want to tell him about your ghost lait night!" she answered, laughing; "it's the best joke of the season, and ho Jim will lacgr;!" Vvbat'jthe us of saying anything to Jim about it, Mary?' said Mr. 8rpy, pleadingly. "I drank too much. I know, but I wouldn't have done it, only it was so cold! ' "Oh, it's too good to keep!" she answere l; "I meat tell Jim, just to hear him latub,

and then how everybody will laugh when tbev hear it!" He pleaded with her to say nothing about it He wouldn't have the neighbors know about it for $500, they would all make so much fnn of him. But she laughingly assured him it was too good to keep.Jand she must tell it. One weak point in Mr. Sarpy's natura was fear of ridicule. He could not bear to be langbed at. and all the forenoon he was in dread lest JimEenton should happen to come over, and Mary should tell about the ghost, but fortunately Jim did not come. At dinner he sat for some time in silence, and finally said : "You've got me, Mary. I see my mistake I'll never drink another drop. You may tell it if yoa want to, bat that's my last dram." Mrs. Sarpy thanked him ioyfally, and assured him that was the wian of her heart, and if he kept his promise, aa she knew he would, she would never tell the story of the ghost. And she never did. Mr. Sarpy poured the contents of the jug into the yard aa soon as dinner was over, and a happier day they bad not seen sinca their marriage. Ihe neighbors often wondered what Sarpy was shooting at in his barn that night, but no cne ever knew until he told the story himself. WIT AMD PLEASANTRY,

Tbe death of Mrs. Hannah Swasey, who died in Alameda on Thursday last,at theivacced age of ninety-six years and six months, is worthy of more than passing notice. She was the granddaughter of Lord Plaisted, who left England on account of religious persecution, his property being confiscated. He settled near Dover, N. H., where Mrs. Swasey was born. General Washington drilled his men on her father's farm, end in passing on one occasion he took tbe little girl in his arms and kissed her. Mrs. Swasey waa very intelligent and attractive, and beloved by all who knew her. She retained her mental faculties unimpaired to the hour of her death, and to the last spoke cheerfully to those around her. She was also remarkably active and attended to her household duties up to ten das before her death. She made the trip across the continent twice after ehe was eighty years of age. Irrjlng Clotbea In the White House. JWashington Letter In tbe Cleveland Leader. The Whit 9 House covers about one-third of an acre and it has cost np to the present time about f 2 000.000. It is modeled after a castle in Dublin, and the architect, who was a South Carolina man named Hoban, got ?5C0 for drawirg the plans. When it was fitst built, away back in the nineties, it cost $300,CC0, but the British burnt outitsinsides and it cct bas since added to that sum about $1,700,000. In it all of the Presidents since Washington have lived, and each has added to its beauties and its expenses. I think it was John Quincy Adams who bought the first billiard table which was used in it. But in John Adams' time it was only half furnished, and Abigail Adams used to dry her clothes in the big east room.

The White Bous and Its Numerous Callers President Adams and Hit Letter. WAsnisGTOjr, March 6. The first official act cf President Cleveland was the nomination of hla Cabinet. His second was to ap pend his signature to the commission of U. 8. Grant as an officer oa the retired list of the army, with the rank of General. The crowd of callers at the White House to-day was eyen greater than that of yesterday. They bsgan to arrive before' the doon were opened, and continued coming n larga numbers all dsy. The President received some of them in the library, others la the East room, just aa happened to be convenient This arrangement kept him busy run nirg up and down stairs. The majority of callers consisted cf delegations from different States. The President to day accepted the resignation of Mr. Arthur's Cabinet, and signed the commissions of the new Cabinet offic?ri. They will probably enterupoathe discharge of their duties to-morrow. Among the later callers were Representatives Randall, Hancock, Fiedler and Cartin, Senator Pugh, A. K. McCiure, Postmaster General Hatton; the Randall Club, of Pittsburg; tbe Governor's Guards, of Columbia, 8. C; Colcnel Oliver Payne, of Ohio, and Mrs. Tyler, widow of ex-President Tyler. Commander Mahan, commanding the United States steamer Wachusett, reports to the Navy Department that he sailed from Calais to day for San Francisco, via Paoa.na, ar c! that he arranged with the Government cf Ecuador that the American prisoaer Sin tea, cor fined in Guayaquil shall have a fair trial. He adds that Santos is in no danger from violence. Charles Francis Adams, in his letter to Senator Hoar, seems to have fallen into an error regardiug the origin of and responsibility for tbe Pacific Railroad funding measure, whick ha oiscueses. The proposition to equalize the interest payments upon tte Pacific Railroad Company's indebtedness through the entire period of sixty years, ia only embodied in a bill introduced by Senator Hoar upon his only reepcsnibility, and was never discussed in the Judiciary Committee. The pending proposition cf the committee is embodied in an amendment to tte first bill reported, and provides tbat the semi-annual payments from tha beginning are to include the interest on the entire amount cf unpaid debt ThiB also bas received the approval of the Judiciary Committee ol the Senate. Hoar's bill was introduced, as he stated, in the Senate with a view of calling oat the opinions cf business men, and for the same purpose a copy was doubtless sent to Mr. Adams before its introduction. The Star says: Representatives Byne, Hisceck and Millard called upon President Cleveland yrsterday, and feai quite a long talk with him. Tney told the President the approved of the attitude he hal taken in his inaugural, and in carrying out the policy therein declared he would have tbir hearty support In this they spoke as Republicans, and said they believed they sooke for a large majority of their party. Tbe President received their advance m in tbe best possible spirit and thanked tham with mach fealing and earnestness for their promise s. EXTIUPATIXtJ RORBERS. The Relative of a Bad (Jang in Kentucky Enforces the Law Against Them. LorrsviLLE, Ky., March a. For years the Hensley brothers have lived, near the headquarters cf the Cumberland, on Little Black Mountain, a life of pillaging and cattle-stealing, and many warrants have been issued against them. The officers, however, have always feared to attack the mountaineers in their fastness. This y ear James Giles, a relative of the gang, living near them, was ap pointed Deputy SherilT. He summoned ten of the bravest men of the same neighborhood, and a few days ago before daylight appeared at the first windowless, one-story log-cabin, where lived Gilbert Hensley, who surrendered after a long parley. At- the next cabin Asher and Levi Hensley were asleep with their famille behind barricaded doors. Upon a demand to surrender they opened fire wita muskets and rifles through the door, and tbe posse replied. Giles was shot in the arm bat kept np tte fight. After fifty shots had been exchanged. Levi Hensley called out: "I surrender, boys; you've shot me dead," and fell heavily. Asher for a while maintained the fight, and then made a break through his assailants down the mountain side, followed by a volley. A rifle oall in the thigh brought hita down. As the posse were securing him, William A- Hensley with John Deer, attracted by the reports, came up from tha rear and opened tire unon the party, severely wounding Elijah Hilton. The Sheriff threatened to shoot Asher it they fired azain, and they withdrew. Asher and Gilbert Hensley were then lodged in jail, and a few days later tbe remainder of the defeated band were caotured. In the fight tbe cabin door was riddled, and twenty bullets were four. d in a feather bed in the house, but none of the women or children were hurt Newspaper Chaoge Sentenced fur Two Years. Special to the eentlnel. Lafayette, Ind., March 0. The Lafayette Morning Call a few days ago changed hands, tte present proprietor, Memsbox.ltransferring the paper into the hands of Sept. Yater, former proprietor of the Daily Journal, of this city. The new editor is known as a very able journalist. The paper will be polished in the evening hersafier, iasteai of ia the morning. Frank Miller, a youn? nna in the employ of George Arnold, the livery man, stole his employer's pocket book, containing 53, while the latter was softly slumbering. Miller thought the money too great a treasure to let it slip through his fingers, and taking his grip Eack, left wiih tbe first train for Delphi. All this happened while "Georgie dear" was swettly dreaming. When Willis failed to appear at the breakfast table, George becims uneasy and suspected that soaiethiDg wrong had happened. Investigation proved Willie to have left for parts unknown, as aforesaid. Arnold at once set Je;ectives upin the fugitive's track. Constable Hill, after a lojg chase, finally captured the robber and brought him back to this city, where he was landed in jail. Willie was taken before Jcde Yintcn yesterday, found guilty of tne crime he was charged with and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years at hard labor. This is the fata of a iah young man who thought to have revenge on "old Arnold," as he says, and to get even with him for seme great wrong committed on his person. Prisoners Scared to Death. Pbiladelfhia, March (j Yesterday, when Dr. Goersen was hanged, two covicts confined in the prison were terribly affected by the knowledge of what was going on. James Barret fifty-five years old, confined in a cell near the gallows, showed intense interest in tbe hanging, but information was denied him. His cell was seated during tue execution, bnt Barret must have heard the footsteps of the solemn procession on its way to the gallows. When his cell was opened he was found dead. His death is attributed to fright The other man, General Taylor, under sentence of death for murder, became delirious with fear. He beard the noise as be Eat in the cell, and the echo of the fallirg doors had hardly died away when the man was found writhing in convulsions. The mcst stubborn cases of dyspepsia end sick headache yield to the regulating and toning influences of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Try it.
