"0 IT, ' mamma," cried Clemmie, I bursting into the room, "Kitty Tyrell has put a large blot on my copy book, and jnst on the page Miss Watson Eaid will be marked." . "Well, taat is too bad, said Mrs. Waynes, "but did Kitty do it on purpose." "I don't believe he did," said Clemmie, -but anyhow I'm going to pay her back, but I don't know how, 'cause Kitty takes everything for fun." "Well, IM pay her back, too," said her mother, "atd I know how I would." "How," suid CIcmmie. "I'd heap -coals of fire on her head," said Mrs. Waynes. "Fire," fairly screamed Gemmie, "oh, that would burn all her lovely hair, bcEide burning her awfully." "Yes, dear, said Mrs. Waynes, "it would hurt her, but she hurt you, too." "What can mamma mean?" thought Clemmie. "S'ae always tells me to forgive my friends, but now she savs I should burn Kitty." "You don't .understand me, do you, dear?" said Mr?. Waynes. "2Co'm," replied Clemmie. 'Well, come here, and I will explain it to you," said 3Irs. Waynes. Clemmie obeyed, and her mother laid down her sewing and said: "You rememlH?r the motto, 'Return good for evil,' dear?" "Yes, mamma," said Clemmie; "and I remember the long talk we had about it." "fell, pet, 'heaping coals of fire' on a person's head is another M ay of saying the very same thing," said her mother, laughing? "Then I will henp coals of red-hot fire, mamma," said Clemmie. 'There, darling, I am glad my little girl sees how noble such an action is, but supper is ready now." , After supper, Clemmie went to her own room, and when an hour later, her mother came to tell her it n as time to go to bed, she found htr bu?y making a lovely crazy patch cushion. "Who is that for. mv dear?" she a.ked. "For Kitty Tyrell," was the reply. "Tomorrow will be her birthday." "Oh," exclaimed Mrs. Waynes. "It is lovely, and I have some bangles down stairs which I will give to vou." "Thank you, mamma,'r said Clemmie, and she sat up util lOo'cIock, and finished the cushion, and the bangles mado it look still more beautiful. The next morning Clemmie hurried to school, and found to her great joy, Kitty was in the antc-rooni alone. fc"Kitty," she said, "I heard this was your birthday, and I have brought you a little gift to remember me by." "Oh, Clemmie," cried Kitty, bursting into tears, and throwing her arms around her friend's neck, "you dear, kind girl, to Eive me a present, when I made that big lot on your book." "That was an accident, and I forgive rou; but see what's in the package," isaid Clemmie. Kitty tore off the pappr, and when she saw what it was she cried out joyfullv: "Oh, how lovely! Is it really mine?" "Yes, Kitty, it Is," said Clemmie. "Oh, Clemmie, I am soglad, and we will be friends forever now," said Kitty. "Yes. we will; and we will both take a lesson from this," said Clemmie. Miss Watson scratched the Mot out, and Clemmie Waynes and Kitty Tyrell were the bett of friends, and they always remember to "heap coals of lire" on their enemies' heads. ATTACKED BY SQUIRRELS. A Hoosier Attacked and Driven Out of the Woods in a Very Llrelj Manner. Col. J. L. Culbt-rtson of F.dwardsport, Ind., tells a story of his experience about the year 1S54, the time of the great migration of squirrels from the East to the West, lie was quite a young man then, and one day took his rifle and went about a mile from town to hunt. He was going through the woods when he met the army of squirrels. They became so thick around him and seemed so fearless that he stood in amazement. Finally he struck one with a stick. The Fquirrel uttered a sharp squeak, and instantly myriads of squirrels from all diretions rushed to the defense of their associate and attacked Mr. Culbertson, who kicked them oil" and clubbed at them with his gun. They climbed up his lees, i'umped upon his back and on top of his lead. He fousrht desperately, but the more he succeeded in hurting, the louder the chattering and screaming arouud binbecame, which only brought creator numbers of the infuriated little animals to the attack. They bit his legs and arms and gnashed his lace and neck, and lacerated his hands, fairly scrambling over each other in their fierce assaults. He dropped his gun and retreated as fast as he could, lighting desperately as he went. liiood streamed down his face and neck and hands. They bit him thronen the ears, and held on until they actually tore their hold loose, lie pot out of the woods, and still scores followed him and clung to him until they were pulled off by the clerk and others in a store into which young Culbertson rushed for assistance, ioine of the friends who helped to pull off the squirrels, and who saw him come into town literally betet with them, still reside at Edwardsport. Iiis friends washed his wounds and stayed the How of blood, which trickled down his legs and back and gushed from his face and neck, and with good care and attention he slowly recovered. "VOU MUST WORK." Iinrdette'a Sensible Advice to Boy, SugarCoated AVlth a Little Ilnmor. And then remember, my son, you have to work. Whether you handle a pick or a pen, a wheelbarrow or a set of books, digging ditches or editing a paper, ringing an auction bell or writing funny things, you must work. If you look around you, son, you will see that the men who are the most able to live the rest of their days withou( work are the men that work the hardest. Don't be afraid of killing yourself with work, son. It is beyond your power to do that. Men cannot work so rard as that on the shady side of thirty. They diesomctimcs, but it's because they rjuit work at G p. in. and don't go homo till 2 a.m. It's the interval that kills. "Work gives an appetite for meals ; it lends solidity to your slumber; it gives the appreciation of a holiday. There are young men that do not work, my son, but the world is not proud of them. It does not even know their names; it simply speaks of them as Ko-and So'a boys, hobody likes them ; nobody bates them, the great busy world doesn't even know that they arc there. So find out what yon want to be and do, son, and take off your coat and make a dust in the M-Qrld. The busier you are the less deviltry

you are apt to jret into, and sweeter will be your sleep, the brighter and happier your holidays, and the better satisfied will be the world with you. A Dojr Party. The little daughter of an Albany lawver gave a dog party in honor of her dog Dandy. Her parents tried to dissuade her when she unfolded her plan, but it was of no avail. She said "her doggy" knew as much as a person and must have a party. So the invitations were written to ten other doggies in this manner: "Miss and Mrs. Bessie ," "Mr. Jack or Toby ." The dogs arrived in the afternoou, accompanied by their little mistresses. The fact that ono of the canine guests pitched upon and whipped his "hostess" simply lent excitement to the event. The dogs were parted, cuffed soundly by their little owners, and made to behave thereafter. After a good time romping about, the eleven canines were set about the table in high chairs, each with a napkin tied about his or her throat. They ate off plates and went through the courses with a gusto. They all ate their dessert, for what little eirl owns a dog that doesn't "love candy ?" The party broke up at dusk. ' A JJog That Got Ilia Own License. At' New Haven., Conn., recently, a Scotch collie made his appearance in the town clerk's ofiice. He placed hi3 fore paws on the desk of one of the clerks and whined. Finally he laid a silver dollar, which he held in his toöuth, on the floor at the foot of the clerk. - ; The dog was recognized as "Jimmy Brown, the property of IVof. D. Cady Eaton of Yale university. For several years Frof. Eaton has brought the dog to the town clerk to ' have him registered. This year he came with him as far as the front entrance. There ho threw a coin upon the sidewalk and the dog picked it up and carried it into the town clerk's office. As soon as it was learned what the dog wanted, his papers were made out and E laced in an envelope, which was given to im, and in his mouth he carried them to his master, who was waiting for him outside the building. . . ..

MY TREASURE.

In a Terdant spot serene. Where flowers swell and bloom, There Is a treasure yet unseen, 'Tis true and pure as gold. May's tepid breeze, so soft and pure. Wafts to my ear its chimes, Which fasten to my heart secure A lore I can't lorget. An aspen tall, with Ieares of green, Stands near the sacred spot. And lilce a wall its shadows fall . On my treasure's golden "face. The surging waters flow on, and on ; Its chimes are borne away To dwell and mingle with the unknown Oh! requiem, sweet requiem! A. W. Lowet. Indianapolis, May 13, 1S33. WAS HE SANE?' In the smoking compartment of a sleeping car eat three men. It was a quiet summer evening. They had just partaken of a substantial supper and had lit their cigars, At th last station they had obtained the evening papers, and two of the trio read the news of the day as they smoked. They had had an all-day's ride, and it hail not been a very sociable one. The passengers in the sleeper were few, and each one had seemed satisfied with the company of his own contemplations or, at least, resigned to them. It was what the train-men call a "light load." Everybody had a "lower," and consequently a double seat all tohimselt. There was one man, however, who had seemed peculiarly solitary. Perhaps no one had remarked it during the day, but they all recalled the fact afterward. Every pair of eyes gazed upon him many times, lie was a man to attract more than ordinary attention. His hair was dark and heavy, his eyebrows heavy, his face smoothly shaven. He was of strong build, and his figure was faultless. ' His countenance seemed unchangeable. Other passengers yawned or smiled or looked pe evisn. His face was always the same. This man was one of the three in the smoking-room. It was the first time he had entered there and no one had spoken to him all the day. After smoking for some time in silence, one of the newspaper readers remarked: "What an era for suicides this is! Three reported to-day from New York, two from Chicago and and the small towns not heard from yet." "Yes, I have just been reading them," replied the other; "especially that ono of the girl who strangled herself with her ownnair. That was an unusual trick. They're getting so numerous nuw-a-days that" unless there's some exceptional circumstances its uninteresting to read of thera." "Interesting!" exclaimed the solitary man with the dark hair and bushy eyebrows. "Can you speak of any suicide as interesting?" "Well, not in a pleasant wav. It may be interesting to seo a man hanged, but not pleasant. "I always think of suicide as the act of a madman," put in the first speaker. ' "It doesn't seem to me that any human being could deliberately take his own life while in a state of sanity." "Either insane or very weak-minded," said the other man with the newspaper. "Now look at me," rejoined the man with the immobile counteaance ;" do I look like a lunatic?" "Not the least," replied the other two in a breath." "Or like an idiot?" "Much less still." "Well!" exclaimed the questioner, as if he had gained a point by strong argument, and he leaned back ana pu fled bis cigar. "But we were talking about suicides, my friend," remarked one of the readers, "and from all ocular evidence you haven't committed that rash act very o'r'ten." The dark man gazed out of the window for a moment. Then turning his head he said, speaking in a steady, confidential voire : "You've heard drunkards tell their experienciea with the demon Whisky, haven't you? Of course. Well, did you ever have a man tell you how he had tried to commit xuicide and ill-fortune prevented him? No? Perhaps you might find that interesting. Have you ever observed, being a traveler, how the evening hours bring out the spirit of sociability amongst the passengers of a railway car? How they will read and mope and keep within themselves all day long, and strike up acquaintanceship when the twilight comes. Men will sit and gaze blankly at each other over hundreds of miles of track, and after ßupper light up cigars in the smoking room and become as confidentially communicative as if they were old friends. Night seems to call out the sociable nature of humanity. It must have affected our three travelers that way, for soon all three were very close to each other, with the dark, lonely-appearing man as spokesman and the others eager listeners. "Speaking of whisky," he began, "I suppose you will think that I have been a hard drinker, but I haven't. I haven't been anything very hard. That was what always aggravated mo. I deserved better of the world, but the greater efforts I made the less of a success I seemed to be. Men much more reckless than I, and of no greater abilities, as far as I could judge, distanced me. At last I met with a great sorrow. I need not dwell upon that," and he looked out of the window for a niinuto again before he continued. : "If I had been addicted to morbidness before, this increased it. I grew weary of repining. Withered hopes and aspirations seemed strewn so thickly about me that every breath created a melancholy rustling. It mado me feel that there would bo less manhood in living under such circumstances than there would in leaping blindly into the beyond. At last I made up my mind. But how .was the easiest way to die? The question waspcurile. Why should a man, who had courage enough to end his earthly existence, wish to evade a few moments' agony of any kind? So I bought a large dose of morphine, went to my room and swallowed the poison. The effect soon followed. But my time had not yet come. I had neglected to lock my door. A friend the best friend I had in the world called to see me, and finding me prostrate sent for a physician. There may be something tragically heroic in suicide, but to be operated on with a stomach-pump is humiliating. I lived. Will you have another cigar, gentlemen?" "And the stomach-pump cured you ?" . "Not entirely. In fact, the unsuccessful attempt upon my own life was ignominy. I was ashamed and disgraced. But I really tried to reform, as it were, on account of the few friends I had. It was no use. After a few weeks I determined to kill myself. 1 had a I'8-ealibcr revolver that would till me. Nothing could save me after one of its messengers had crashed? through my brain. I took it one night and strolled alone down by the seashore. It was a gloomy evening. The clouds had risen and the wind began to blow. It was just the kind of a nis;ht to die, everything was so appropriately dismal. I took a farewell look at the town and the landscape and the sea. I put the weapon to my temple, and was on the point of firing when I suddenly discovered a person in a boat some distance out from land. J roakiiig signals of distress. It appeared to

be a woman. I paused. It might be wicked to take my own life, but to die by my own hand, and a helpless human creature calling to me for aid a woman at that well, that would be unmanly. I thrust my pistol into my pocket, ran for a boat and was scon pulling lustily at a pair of oars. The wind was blowing a gale, and a part of the time-1 could not distinguish the object of roy sacrifice. Besides, it was growing dark. The eea became wild. I found that I could scarcely keep my oars, although yöu seo that lam a muscular man. From looking to save anybody else, my struggle -soon became for myself. Odd, isn't it trying to keep afloat, when a -few minutes betöre I was on the point of shooting mvself? But it's true. I didn't want to be overcome by the waves. I would die if I wanted to, but I didn't want to have to die. I was soon blown out of sight of land. How I managed to live was a miracle. ' "At last the wind subsided and the water became a trifle quieter, but I had lost my bearings and was without a compass. Morning came and I saw an ocean steamer in the distance. It spied me and picked me up. It was" bound for Eio Janiero. Under the circumstances I concluded to live until we arrived there. It would be unkind to go out on the deck and blow my brains out after all tßat kindness. It would have been so disagreeable to everybody on-board. I was not pennniless nor friendless, and I now had a debt to repay. - All went smoothly-for days, but after we had -passed the equator a terrible storm struck us. Our vessel became disabled and sprung a leak. We were dashed on to the rocky shoals near Ternambuco, and there were just two of us who lived to reach land. I was twenty hours in the water. You can not conceive of a man fighting harder against the cle ments and death. Didn't I want to die? Not that way. I believed I was going to be the only survivor, if I survived, of that terrible disaster. Finally I was washed ashore more dead than alive. Some savages picked me up, robbed me of what jewelry I had, and I feared they would slaughter me. After I had got strong enough to travel I tried to induce some ot the natives to guide me to the nearest town. It was a difficult matter. After awhile I discovered that a sailor from the lost vessel had lived to join me. We started together. The terrors of that journey were about as bad as can be imagined. Without much clothing, without decent food, in constant danger of snakes and wild animals, and suspicious of the natives, we came near dying. In spite of all, we at last reached civilization, such as it was. From Pcrnarnbuco we got passage to San Salvador, and had made arrangements for passage to Cuba when wo wore both stricken with vellow fever. Tb.3 sailor died. Why 1 didn't die is a mystery. Gods! but it was awful! I was really afraid I was going to die. I prayed to God to let me live. I wanted to" get back to mv native country. There was something "horribly repulsive the idea of rotting away down there. I didn't seem to have the nerve to face death in that moment- It was a tasta of perdition, but 1 came through it. I survived on charitv until I made my way to Bio Janiero. 1 found an eld acquaintance there, and the way to Havana was easv. In Cuba I grew morbid again. I bought another dose of poison, and was on the point of swallowing it when I was arrested by the oflicials, who mistook me for some great embezzler who had fled from the United States, and mv poison, as well as everything else, was taken from me. "It took weeks to establish my innoencc, and then I was challenged to a duel by an oflicer whom .1 had berated for his stupidity. We fought. ' You seo this scar down hero on -my neck? It took me a month longer to reewver from that. By. that time my longing for home returned. I arrived in New York three days ago. What I came for I don't just know." The sun had gone down. Yet it was light enough to see the ever-changing landscape as the train rolled rapidly on. The man of trials and disappointments ceased his story and again gazed out of the window. A few minutes later he left the compartment. Tho two listeners exchanged glances of incredulity. "I Ie's a rare romancer, at any rate," said one. "If he's a liar he's the most serious one I ever knew," remarked another. "He's mysterious. Half of the time I believed he" was in solemn earnest and the other half" Bangl "What was that?" the two men asked of each other simultaneously, springing up. The door to the rear platform was open. The sharp report of a pistol had come from there. The man with the dark hair and Kid face had shot himself. He sank to the floor, the blood rushing from the ugly wound in his temple and covering his features. When they raised him he was dead. W. II. B. Chicago, May 5. A WITTY LAWYER. Two Stories Abont a lli ight South Carolina Congressman. rWahlngtoa Letter. I heard two good stories to-day of Pettigrew, of South Carolina, the great lawyer and unionist, which I havo never heard before. He was practicing at one time before a judge who was apresbyterian of the straitest sect and a - very hard-working oflicer. It came tobe Maondny Thursday, and Pcttigrew and the episcopalian and Roman catholics thought they would like an adjournment of courtoverGood Friday. Pettigrew was selected to make the motion. "Your honor," he said, "I desire to move that the court adjourn over to-morrow." "Why should the court adjourn over tomorrow, when the docket is so crowded?" asked the judge. "Because," said Tettigrew, "to-morrow is Good Friday, and some of us would like to go to church." "No," said the judge, decidedly, alter a moment's thought, "the court will sit tomorrow, as usual." "Very well, your honor, replied Pettigrew, adding, as he turned away, "I know there is a precedent, for Pontius Pilate held court on, the first Good Friday." The same judge was a great stickler for etiquet, and when one day hot July day Pettigrew came into the court room in a black coat and yellow nankeen trousers the judge took him sternly to task, asking him whether he did not know that the rules ofthat court required the counselors to appear in "black coat and trousers." "Well, your honor," paid Pettigrew innocently, "I submit that I am within the rule, for 1 have on a black coat and trousers." Insisted the judge : black coat and trousers means that both shall be black. "Then," said Pettigrew, "I call your honor's attention to the fact that the sheriff of this court is in contempt of its rules, for they require him to attend upon its sessions in a cocked hat and sword, and while his hat seems to be cocked his sword certainly is not." The judge said no more about trousers.

Matthew Arnold's grave is close by those of his two eldest sons, and also his youngest child, and to those of a small circle of relatives and connections, among whose tomlistones are to be read the nnines of some eight or ten mein"bers of the Uuckland family, and that of Mrs. Delatield, sister of Dr. Arnold, and aunt of the late poet and scholar. A well-known Wal 1-st. broker was giving his son a lecture the other day. "Above all, my son. be honest. Let nothing drive you from the path. Only the other day. for instance, a customer of ours made a mistake in giving me an account. Instead of giving me $4,1)00 he owed my partner and myself lie gave me $-000." "Well?" "I gave of it to my partner." Truth. Heavy machinery is now runby artesian well power iii many parts of France, and the experience of the French show that the deeper the well the greater the presc and the higher the temperature.

There was a very peculiar suicide in Laney park, Urnira, N. ., the other morning. A rohiu redbreast, deserted by its mate, sought to drown its misery in death. Taking a long strinjr which he had picked tip to put into its nest, ne swung it around a bouph, then wound it around his neck and expired. The body huH in the tree nil day, and many pedestrians gazed at it curiously. A college student was invited one Sunday to occupy the pulpit in a little country church. After what he considered a masterly efibrt on tii subject of ''Lazarus and the llieh Man." he called on a good old brother to pray, and was aomewhat electrified to hear the following: "O, Lord! wc thank Thee that we are not like this poor, despised beggar Lazaru s who we've jest ben a listenin' to!" Boston Journal. The butchers national protective association will hold its annual convention in Philadelphia on M-it -J. An interesting feature of the convention will be a" grand barbecue, at which fifty steers and 100 Southdown sheep will be roasted under the direction of the celebrated barbecuist, Mr. Wade. There will be four ditches, each 50 feet long, 4 feet deep and yi feet wide. Sixty cords of wood and 4Ö0 pounds of buttef for Lasting will be used. A Doston paper tells of. a funny blunder which Mas made by l'ishop Eastburn at a crowded church wedding in that city. Some spectators at the back of the church stood upon the benches in order to get a better view of the ceremony. The bishop saw them and pausing in the service said, in his most solemn tones: "Remember the sacred character of this bouse; let all who are present sit upon the floor and put their feet upon the scats." A young man failed to receive an invitation to a surprise party to which many that he knew were specially invited. He brooded over it a while and then stole a march on all the others by inviting the young lady in whose honor the party was given to go with him to the theater. 2sot knowing of any other arrangement she gladly accepted, and after the per. formnnce he suggested lunch, thereby making the other party, kept waiting for her return, literally one of surprise. Jioston Time. S. A. Ruff has an interesting Indian relic, recently turned up by tho plow upon his plnta about a mile from Mikcsville, i In. It was a double-barreled pistol of ancient make and forgotten pattern. The woodwork of the handle was gone, but all the rest was intact and in a goountate of preservation. The rilled barrels, about four indies in length and of about thirty e iidit-ealiber, are arranged like those of an o'rdinnry double-barreled shot-gun of to-day, with separate hammers and triggers, and are tubed lor the use of percussion caps. Th? weapon was probrbly dropped where found during some of the Indian wars. Both barrels were loaded.

A Man "Who Drank Up Montpellier and lh Ntjron of tho Plantation. Harriet Taylor Cpton, In May Wide Awake. Mrs. MadiÄm's property, valued at $20,000, was finally divided between Anna and Payne Todd to the latter the money was welcome, lie had dissipated his own fortune, his mother's privat property, Montpellier "he literally drank up tho place and the negroes" remarked one who knew him welL, speaking of Montpellier. President Madison had labored in vain to reform the habits of idleness and extravagance, and also had paid manv of his debts. Some of his means he had sunk in the erection of a stransre structure, on an eccentric plan, port his own estate, Toddsbirth, intending that his mother should there make her home. The house orijinally upon the place had been burned, and he had built a great tower with a ballroom and fctate dining-room, grouping around it several small buildings.sorue old, others new; in one of these cottages his mother was to live, entering the dmimrroom through a window. When he built this house n hich for lack of money he was unable to complete he was interested, like many people at that time, in the subjoct of silk culture, and intended to turn the place into a silk farm; and, characteristically, before he had planted his mulberry trees, or hatched his silkworms, he imported a number of Frenchmen to make the silk. Toddsbirth is stiil standing, not far from Montpellier. Mrs. Madison's last breath brought forth the words, "My poor boy 1" and it is impossible for any one to think of her pon without a siah. tcp by step he grew disagreeable and dissipated. A cousin, recalling iiim to-day, Mrite: "As for my cousin, Payne Todd, my childish memories of him do not bear repeating. His manneis were perfectly (.Jrandisonian, but I was a little afraid of him. Do not ask rac whv." He became a gourmand, and wholly lost his beauty and elegance. . He cultivated a taste for foreign cookery, and a friend of his boyhood says that Le was continually sending to the Old -World for favorite articles of food; so that at last he was enormously stout, quite the figure that a man must be who drinks liquors as constantly and eats as self-indulgently as did he. One who remembers him in his later years, after his inherited beauty was obliterated, says that he looked very much like every other common man who becomes dissipated bloated and puffed and grizzlv and slouchy. Payne Todd accomplished nothingin life that was worth a man's while. During the first years of the Monroe administration he was President Monroe's private secretary, but for some reason did not remain, lie ran for congress and was defeated. He never took his place among country gentlemen as the master of his estate, lie never married, lie forfeited the esteem of every friend whom his mother and President Madison secured for him. At forty-two, he died of a long and fearful fever, in Washington, two rears after Mrs. JIadison, at a hotel on fifteenth-st., surrounded by some of his mother's old slaves, but with no white person near him. During his conscious moments he bad been full of grief and remorse. In the snow and cold, on Washington's birthday, he was laid to rest in the CongressiouaL. cemetery, followed there by a carriage containing one friend, and another with his servants. Others of the family buried there were afterward removed, but no one had sufficient interest in Payne Todd to care where he rested. Iiis only part in the world now is as an example of a wasted life.
