Be wonders where his wife "'s been a-tra-pesin'.'' It appears to hint that she following bis advice to "stir aroan'" with a vengeance and he resolves to make it lively for her when she comes back, for going off in this manner and leaving the house alone over night Then be returns to the kitchen, And makes a search for something to eat but there Is not a morsel of anything,, to be found.

Then be re-enters the Jioqse, and throw ing himself across the bed, £»t1s«ftleep. But his sleep is troubled. He tosses, and groans, and mutters and once ho cries out wildly: "Damn his lyin' heart!" At last he becomes dimly conscious that some one is in the room. He listens—hear* a sob and starting up, discovers Riahr on her knees beside the bed, her face buried in the covers. She springs to her feet, her poor little pinch ea face wet with tears, aptl endeavors to throw herself in bis arnfrii "What d'ye want?" ho cries fiercely-seizing her roughly by the arm and holding her away from him. "Whar 'voyou been a gaddin* to? Whar's yer mother Can't ye speak and be savagely shakes her until her teeth rattle. But the poor child cannot somraand her voice can only stretch out her little thin hands and look imploringly at him with streaming, pleading eyes. This incomprehensible conduct irritates him beyond endurance. Flinging her from with a furious oath, ne stridra out of the room, but is met at the threshold by the very woman of all others be least desires to see at this particular time,

Mrs. Lewis!" be stamttksrs —This Mrs. .Lewis (or as she is generally known—"the widder" Lewis) is a tall portly woman of fifty, with clear gray eyes, a determined face, and dark wavy hair in which there is not the fklntest suspioion of gray. .She Tories in the reputation of being at mo aquje time tbe best hearted, and the worst tempered woman, in the township— perhaps in the county. She is wholly intolerant of all kinds of meanness and deceit, and thoroughly out-spoken in her denunciations of people and'things she don't like, though by no means a gossip or a iniscbiof-maker. Mr. Denson holds her in great awe, having been severely bandied by her on divers occasions.

Certainly!" answers Mr. Denson greatly astonished that the should know nuythfng about it* "Uy oourso I do I— to a cent of its any satisteotion to ye 1" "What!" exclaims the horrifled lady, her eyes flashing fire and her bosom heaving with hot indignation. "And are you beast otiough to speak about it in that way?"

Now looky yer!" replies Mr. Denson threatningly. "That's a thing as hain't any uv your buslnoss! What's lost'a lost, an' what's gone's gone an' I don't on ton* fcer bo dwvil'd about it by nobody

And with this spirited speech, he pushes on past her in soaruli of his wife, whom no suspects of being bid somewhere in the yard. Coining around to the front of the house, he peeks in at tbe window and seos the irascible Mrs. Lewis with Riahr in her artps, passionately rocking backward add forward without any corresponding motion of the chair, and biting her lips ih tlery impatience as she vainly endeavors to soothe tho moaning, wounded child.

He cannot find bis wife, though he searches diligently for her overywhere and a nameless dread of some fresh calamity begins to steal across his senses, subdlulng, somewhat, the tieroe anger which h*s raged within him. Resolving to know the worst, he returns to tho house. As ho outers the room Mrs. Lewis springs to her feet, hugging the trembling cm, breast.

"Out!—out of my sight 1 you unnatural vllllan," she exclaims, "or I shall bo tempted to murder you! A wretch that'll deeert his wife upon her death bed and then before her body's cold In Its grave, coins back and spook or knowing her loss to a cent, is too wwcm to

Mrs. Lowls sweeps scornfully out of tho room, with the child but presently little Riahr comes hastening back. "Oh! father! Poor fhtherI" f?

THE LASH IN OA NA DA. [Toronto Leader.) On June 1, James Warren was sen ten oea to three months imprisonment and forty lashes, to be delivered in two batches of twenty each, for the crime of rape upon a little girl. Yesterday morning the piisoner received the first twenty lasbee. A little after 0 o'clock tho triangles were erected in the central hall, and at 9:30 o'clock tbe prisoner, James warren, was brought from his al. He walked into the hall with a firm step, and removed his coat, waistcoat and shirt, and stepped to tbe triangle, to which.be was hung, strapped so that he oould not move a limb. The prisoners were then called in and ranged round three sides of the haU. Xheje were present tbe Sheriff, tho Deputy Sheriff, Dr. Richardson, the jail *urgeon, and the reporters of tho morning papers. At lialf-past nine the Sheriff took tho cat. which .consisted of nine lashes of whipcord, each having a knot at the end, and handed it to tho executions, who was one of the prisoners of tbe jail. Time was given by the Sheriff, and Mr. Ewing, turnkey, was stationed at the counter. The executioner showed some nervousnes, but on receiving encouragement struck the first blow upon the prisoner's shoulders, high up and close to the leather collar which was placed round his neck. Tbe second blow, which was delivered with the fall strength Of tbe executioner's srin, fell in the same place, and tho executioner, who now appeared to have full control of bis powers, delivered the third blow the same locality. The Sheriff hero whispered to him to strike lower, and the next blow was given below the former ones. The fifth was given still lower, and the sixth was struck in tbe same place. Up to this tiino the prisoner remained silent, but tils heavy panting showed that he was suffering severely. On receiving the seventh stroke the prisoner moaned, and be continued moaning during tbe rest of the poniehment, and kept moving bis head from side to side with a quick mechanical motion. Hissufferings were intense bis mtucles were distended, and he struggled to free himself froth the iron gnp that held bim to the triangle as stiipe alter stripo ot tbe cat descended upon his back. No cry escaped his lips, but his agonizing moan showed what he was suffering, and when the turnkey announced twenty, his back from the nock to the waist was onO livid mass, red, swollen and bleeding. Every knot on the lash had cut Into the prisoner's back, producing a wound about an eighth of an inch in length. As soon as the punishment was ovor tho culprit was released, and, trembling in every limb, he was led back to his coll.

GREAT FISHING IN FLORIDA. South from Jacksonville about two miles is Alachua lake. Formerly this was a vast prairie of over twenty thousand acres of good grazing land. In the midst of it was a deep hole or land-sink, or which there area great many in the State, Into which the waters of McKinstry lake, situated farther north, and the surrounding country used to flow and find a subteranean outlet to the sea. About four years ago tho outlet got more or less oboked up, and tho surplus wator backing, soon covored this vast tract of country, in which aqueous condition It has remained ever since, Increasing and diminishing in area as the season varies from wet to dry. This lake is literally alive with fish. I have seen colored boys with an ordinary pole cut from the woods, a line not over l'our feet long and a fly, rudely constructed of red and white flannel, catch eighty xmnds of black bass in a couple of ipure. These fish average from two to twelve pounds. An eight pound is common.

A few days ago a gentleman re

siding in Oainsvllle caught and weighed on Fairbanks scales, in presenco of a number of Northern visitors here, a black bass weighing nineteen and onequarter pounds. Tradition says one'was caught here last year that weighed twen-ty-three pounds. All the small streams flowing into this lake are also full of bass. Day before yesterday I saw three small boys standing in a stream about three feet wide, and may be afoot deep, each armed with piece of hoop iron, with which they killed in the half hour I was present, eight good sised bass. Another boy of tho sain© party, with a two-bushel oorn bag, made one haul in the samo stream often baas—[Baltimore Sun. MR. BKEOHER STAGGERING IN
