DIED GP A BROKEN HEART.

A Story JWTuch May be Head With Profit by Parents.

BY JOHKSTC- BO9TJET.

A father in a New England town had a son a little, large-headed boy of nervous intensity, with eyes of startling wonder, and long curling eyelashes, which started, like his fawnKke eyra, with quick apprehension and timidity a boy who played with all intensity, kept doing something all the day long, without the power to rest, walked offaioue and even when alone spoke with himself, chased the geese with little legs as lean and swift,

and at the table eating his meals could

not sit very stil, nor bear to sit all the morn in cr in church hearing the ser

mon, because bis heart was too rapid in his little narrow chest, where every

rib could .be counted against his tender

flesh and skin. In the the morning he was awake at earliest light; at evening

his tired nature yielded to the deep

sleep of exhaustion. His mother feared

she could never raise him to be a man. His father thought he was too long becoming a man in gravity, sobriety. and

; iorraal obedience.

Wbafe ails my. son?" the father

sternly asked. "He is rattle-headed

and without stability. I fear for him.

Do you chastise him enough? Spare

not the rod lest he grow beyond you

ana your rule?"

"Alas!" exclaimed the mother, "he

haps. He is growmg and sensitive. The doctor says we must not push him at bis studies, but let him play all he can, .till his. frame is equals to his brain." 1 " V: The father shook his head and spoke - sternly to the boy, and feared he' was going to give them all trouble growing up so seldom moulded and restrain ed. All day the. little boy was doing

tail, carrying the dog under his arm, making pictures on paper, of engines and steam-boats, and Indians, and

-bellows ' - t "He will be an artist" said his mother hopefully. . "He will spoil the library," exclaimed the father suspiciously. ., Antagonism mrew ud between the

jbuiu wiu luc uuy, uum, on uie uoy.s part, ?of fear; on the father's, of criticism rxd severity. The boy ran to his mother snda&kea her protection from his father's suspecting eye. The father feared his wife was spoiling the son with'joistaken generosity and allowance! At .times the father's habitual suspicion broke away like , the clouds above haid, humid; Britain, and he laid his -'rfcrorous books of thenlnirv

down to take his boy walking, and they g rew a little nearer. Then again the farfter observed some voluptuous tendency in the son which started his fears anew; some taste; foe worldly, nassinsr innriret and irvra. 1

root of every evn; You had better give ihe child fire or poison. He" will become a wild, mined spendthrift" The idea that his his wife gave the child money operated in the father's head like jealousy orrevenge ; it tinted

T where the sun lay in his lowly bed, all

strewn with his little drawings, and his arms around his box. He sighed; no more, but seemed asleep. TJpon his face a color paler than the snowy sheets extended. Another guest was in the bed ; the guest that conieth like a real thief in the night. "Mary," cried the father, "Mary, my wife, come here!; Robert is dying." : The mother came on feet of doves' wings She raised her son upon her breast. The little lips unclosed and spoke the last forever to this world: J'llove my papa. Mamma, I only wanted his' pencil, not his1 money. Dear God, let papa love me." And so, among the little drawings

he had been working at every dawn, till his pencils were worn to the wood and he would have borrowed his papa's

noiselessly, whose sharpened pencil

was in his waistcoat nccket. the little

artist yielded up his broken heart.

Only the room resounded with a child

less father's ciy :

"Oh! had I my son again, even

though he wexe a thief!" The Senatorial Contest. Albany, N, Y July 6.

The sun was up though1 it was scarcely five o'clock, and the light and air striking through the chamber curtains, showed the little boy in his night gown stealing toward his lather's bed. He glanced sharply toward his father to see if he was quite asleep, and then, swiftly, like a little bird. ' horined anon a nhair

Horror froze the boy; he. dropped from the chair like a car, and was into his own bed in the next room and cov

It must be done, hard though it should be. He awoke his wife, and, suppressing her replies with an iron will , related the story of her depraved child.

a little box that he kept his treasures in, an t they placed it in his bed where he lay all day sighing from his ihartic- . ulate soul. . The father's heart was wrenched to think of such a frail, dear son presistingiuhxs wickedness,, and turning from repentance. He sat by his side all that afternoon, demanding his boy to confess and save them both the pain of another chastisement, which else he would feel required to enforce next day.'

aor. The head of this concern is Dr. Da.vid T. Porter, an old citizen and an eminent physician, who has certainly exhibited genius and executive capacity of a high order, in his sanitary measures. Of course tliere is a legislative branch of this hybrid government, dignified with the title of the Legislative Council, but just what its duties (in addition to carrying out the will of Dr. Porter) are, it would be impossible for me to say. Nevertheless, taking

everything into consideration there is

little, to complainof. Personal liberty

to the carrying of concealed weapons

that a couple of years ago, in order to relieve the people to some extent from the exactions of the citv'3

Many of the creditors' of the city became clamorous for the instant liquidation of their claims, and entered in some cases, suits for from twice to fou r times the amount for which the. corporation Was justly liable.'

A Kemarkable Pony. Orkney Herald. .A well-authenticated and extraordinary case of the sagacity of the Shetland pony has just come under , our notice. A year or two ago Mr. William Sinclair, pupil teacher,Ho!m, imported one of these little animals from Shetland on which to ride to and from school, his residence being at a considerable distance from the school bui.dings. Up to that time the animal had been unshod, but sometime afterward Mr. Sinclair had it shod by Mr. Pratt, the parish blacksmith. The other day Mr. Pratt, whose smithy is a long distance from Mr, Sinclair's house

saw the pony, without halter or anything upon it, walking up to where he was working. Thinking the animal had strayed from home,he drove it off, throwing stones afer the beast to make it run homeward. 'This had the desired effect for a short time; but Mr. Pratt had only got fairly at work once more in the smithy when the pony's head, again made its appearance at the door. On proceeding a second time outside to drive the pony away, Mr. Pratt. with a blacksmith's instinct, took a look at

the pony's teet, when he observed that one of its shoes had been lost. Having !

made a shoe he put it on, and then waited to see what the animal would do. For a moment it looke at the blacksmith as if asking him whether he was done,then pawed once or twice to see if the newly -shod foot was comfortable, and finally gave a pleased neigh, erected his head, and started home at a orisk trot. . The owner was also exceedingly surprised to find the animal at home completely shod the same evening, and it was only on call ing at the smithy some days afterward that he learned the full extent of his pony's sagacity. . A Ten Year Old Bivai of Dr . Carver. feauta Gruz Courier, Lillian F. Smith, a little lady only 10 years old, &ave an exhibition on Saturday evening last, at the rink, of her wonderful skill with the rifle. She fired at gla3S balls thrown in the air, making a very good score, but labored under many difilculties in the way of light and limited space in which to work. She fired over her shoulder, taking sight in a small hand mirror, and broke every ball out of twelve. She broke balls swinging in a circle, part to. a string, broke fifteen balls in one minute, and several other feats worthy the Austins or Dr. Carver. Miss Jjillian, who resides six or seve:a miles irom town with her parents, and who was accompanied by them, is about mediam height for a ten year old child, bright as a dollar, artless and

natural, and don't seem to, think she can shoot much anyway. She seemed quite surprised at the hearty applause that followed her every effort. She holds the rifle, beautifully and poises herself admirably. She has a most

brilliant tuuire before her, and with proper management can make a for

tune in a few vears. The idea that a

little girl 10 years old can perform almost the same feats with a rifle as men

who haver practised ten or twer.ty

years, is marvelous in itself.

Out of 101 Derbys, a Prince of Wales has won once, in 1788; a royal duke, York, in 181 G and 1822; other dulses, ten times; lords, twenty-two times; a foreign count once, 1865; a foreign baron twice, 1871 and 1879; a foreagn prince in 1875, and an American sovereign in 1881, Other winners have been English commoners. Prince Bismarek?s indisDOsitiou is' a

painful and harrassing, although not dangerous one. He attends to his o flcial labors with all his accustomed energy, but with less than all his accustomed enjoyment.

The colors of the clothes of the period exercise the male mind as severed as do the cut.

Prince Bismarck's Humor. Prince Bismarck's somewhat grim urn of humor is illustrated by the

following anecdote, which lias recently

obtained publicity in a leading Berlin

periodical. About tnirty-fiye years ao, when the Germ an chancellor was

on iy plain Oteo von Bismarck, poesesauiaii 'Squire and .Inspector of Dikes, he went out one day snipe shooting with a friend on some marshy land into, which his companion, a stout, heavy man, suddenly sank up to his armpits. Vainly struggling to extricate himself, the gentleman shouted for help, and seeing Herr Bismarck approach him very slowly and cautiously apparently still looking out for the rising of s 5ine stray snipe, piteously appealed to him to'leave the confounded snipe alone and pull him out of the abominable swamp, into which ho had sunk so deeply that its slime was all but in his mouth." "My dear friend," replied Bismarck, with the utmost calm, "you will certainly never get out of that hole. Nobody can possibly save you. It would, however, pain me very': much that you should sutler unnecessarily by slowly stilling in this vile swamp, I'll tell you wThat, my dear fellow, I'll save you 'ihe agony of suftoeating by putting a charge of shot into your head. Thus will you d ie at obcjo more swiftly and more respectably." "Are you mad?" shrieked the other, struggling desperately to free himself, "I don't want either to be drowned or shot; so help ineout.in the name of three devils." Deliberately leveling his fowling piece at his friend's head, Herr Bismarck rejoined, in a sorrowful tone: "Keep steady for a moment; it will soon be over. Farewell, dear friend! I will faithfully tell your poor wife all about it, ' stimulated to superhuman effort by the imminent peril menacing him the unlucky sportsman contrived to wriggle out of the mud on all-fours, and when he had recovered his feet broke out into a storm of vehement reproach. Herr Bismark listened to him with a sardonic smile merely observed: ."Can't you ses how right I was after all? 35 very man "i'for fhimself!1! And, turning his back on his infuriated, companion, cooly walked away in search of more game. ISew Cure for Whooping Cough. Albany Journal, This has been considered one of the few incurable diseases. Physicians usually say that it must take its course, viz : two weeks of incubation preceedink the spasms, four weeks of gradually increasing number and power of the paroxysms, and frcrd six weeks to six months of restoration to health. Often this malady is followed by pneumonia, bronchitis, or extreme physical exhaustion, ending in lingering illness or death, when the paroxysms are very violent, patients frequently runture blood vessels or the' delicate membranes of the ear,, eye or other organs. The disease ifi iu creasing in virulence. The number of deaths in New York city in one year has reached 489; in the city ot London the appalling number of 6,000 annually, ft has been known to some of the medical profession that persons suffering from whooping cough, asthma, bronchitis, catarrh, croup, and the other zymotic, diseases, experienced quick relief, and sometimes moid cure, oy breathing the vapors aiistnir from th -a open purifying boxes at gas works. This fact was d iseovered by a Irench physician in 1S65, and published. Shortly after, the gas works of this country were visited, and now it is quite common to see several patients gathered about a purifying box inhaling the strong vapors. The secret of the relief has been recently discovered. A Providence (R.L) chemist procured the c ondensed hydro

carbon deposited m toe bottom or.tue puri fling box, and byanalyzation ascertained it to be eresolene (C. b H 5 C H 3 O,) a coal tar. product somewhat akin to carbolic acid, but possessing far greater power in destroying the germs of co itagious diseases. Vaporized m a closed room, the terrible paroxysms in pertussis (whooping cough) are checked imniediatelVi and ordinarly in five nights the patient entirely recovers.

r ersons sunering uonx curomu ma and unable to recline at length, can assume a recumbent position and sleep peacefully all night. Bronchitis and croup are quickly relieved. Diphtheria and scarlet fever are not only often cured, but it is absolutely impossible for these dreaded, diseases- to be communicated to others. . The contagious germs deposited in bedding, carpets, clothing, wall paper, or floating in the air, are instantly de troyed by tlie powerful vapor of eresolene, which is conveyed in the air everywhere. A sick; room indeed the entire house can bo almost instantly perfumed with extract fragrance of colognelorida water, bay water, etc., the odor remaining for hours. These results are made possible through the use of a very, ingenious but simple metal vaporize r, which consists of a stand six inches high, supporting a cup which con' Mus a half ounce of liquid! Under ud& cup is a disk,

New York Times.

In the early dajrs of the railroad in

this country the locomotive engineer

was the master of the train. He ran it according to his own judgment, and

tne conductor had very little voice - in

the matter. Collecting the feres, sun-

erintending tho loading and unloading

of freight, and shouting "all aboard!"

were an tnat uie eonauctor was expected to do. The Brie 'railway -was

then the New York & Erie railroad.

There was no rail connection with

J ersey City in 1 845. Boats carried passengers from New York to Piermont-

on-theHudson, .which was the eastern

termin us of th e road ., Turner's, fortyseven miles irom New York, was as far west as the -railroad was in opera

tion. One of the pioneer conductors

of the line wafi the late Captain Ayres.

He ran the only train then called for

between the two terminal points. It was made up of freight and passenger ears. The idea of the engineer, with

out any knowledge of what was going on back of the locomotive, having his way as to how the train was to be run, did not strike the captain as being ex

actly according to the propriety of

things. He frequently eneoiintered a fractious passenger who insisted on riding without paying his fare. As there was no way.of signaling the engineer, and the passenger could not be thrown from the train while it was in motion, the conductor in such cases had no choice but to let him ride until a regular stop was made. Captain Ayers finally determined to institute a new system in the innning of trains. He procured sv stout: cord, sufficiently

long to reach from the locomotive to

the rear car, To the end of this

string next to the engine he fast

ened a stick of wood. He ran

this cord back over the cars to the last one. He informed the engineer, who was a German, nameaAbe Hammil,

that if he desired o have the trains stopped he would pull the string and

raise the stick, and would expectt he

signal to be obeyed. Jdammil looKed

upon this innovation m a direct blow at his authority, and when the train left Piermont he cut the stick loose.

At Turner's he told Captain Ayres that he proposed to run the train himself,

without any interference from any conductor. The next day the captain

rigged up his string and stick of wood

again.

'Abe," said he, '-this thing's got to

be settled one way or the other. If

that stick of wood is not on the end of this cord when .we get to Turner's

you'v got to lick me. or I'll lick you."

Th stick wae not on the string when they reached Turner's. The captain pulled off his coat, and told Hammil to get .off his engine. Hammil declined to get off. Captain Ayres climbed, to the engineer's place .Hammil started to jump off on the other side. The conductor hit) him under the ear and saved him cue tiouble of jumping. That settled forever the question of authority. on railroad trains. Hammil

abdicated as autocrat of the pioneer Erie train, and the twine and stick of wood, manipulated by the conductor, controlled its; management. That was the origin of the t ell rope, now one of the most important attachments of railroad trains. The idea was quickly adopted by the few roads then in operation, and the bell or gong took the place of the stick of wood to signal the engineer. Capt. Ayres continued a conductor on this road under its different managers until he was superannuated and retired on a pension a year ago. . He died a few months ago in Oswego, at the age of 78 years.

A Touching Scene. Of the late Czar Nicholas, "A Russian Nihilist" tells in the North American Review, a striking story. A young student, a relative of the writer, had, with a few friends, formed a literary society iu which the works of a contemparary political econom ist, publicist and philosopher were read and debated. The secret police denounced this society as a revolutionary organization, and the young student was imprisoned and condemned to Siberia. All possible influence was brought to bear upon tho Czar, but in vain, and at last the young man's mother, meeting the Czar one day in the Summer Garden Knelt and implored her son's pardon, asserting his innocence. Tho Czar seemed touched, and promised to give the youth a personal interview. The latter was brought to his Majesty the next day, and the Czar forcing him on his knees before an image of the Saviour, exclaimed: 'Can you swear before the Almighty. God., that neither you nor your associates had any criminal design against my life? Can you swear that you believe in the holmes and eternity of the Russian autocracy?" The surprised prisoner answered: "I can swear to your Majesty that neither I nor any of my friends had the remotest idea against y our saf 3 fey. As to the autocratic form of government, 1 can't conscientiously swear that I believe in its eternity. The history of other countr ies teaches us that the time must come even iu Russia, when the peonle itself will take part in the government." The Czar tenderly embraced the student, and giving a ring drawu from the imperial finger, said: 'This is a token of respect from your Czar. You have been sincere and truthful to me, and there is nothing I bate as much as a lie." He then approached the writing table where lay tbe student's sentence Of exile, and with one stroke of. the pen signed the paper 'I pity you from the bottom of my heart," he said: .."you are ah honest man, and an honest man, true to his convictions, is more dangerous to autocracy than an unprincipled rascal. Therefore I must punish you, though never was this duty more painful to me than now. God bless you my son, and judge me mercifully if I should appear to be in the wrong." Then, once more embracing the student, he dismissed him to Siberia.

Hay and Grain Crops. J. B. Lawos. Compared with its selling price, hay removes more of the soil constituents from the land than most of our other salable products. One hundred pounds of hay will remove nearly as much nitrogen and much more mineral matter than 100 pounds of wheat. Those considerati ons must all be studied when the question comes as to the profitable 'application.. -of expensive manures. While, therefore, the evidence is somewhat against the use of artificial manures when hay is grown .for sale, it by no " means forbids their employment when grass land iSv used for the production of meat, milk, butter or cheese; and to illustrate this I wilt merely allude to one manure ingrediant, viz.: potash. In the large crop of hay which we take from Plot 11, we carry off annually 140 lls. of potash per acre; 1,000 lbs. live weight of an ox or sheep contains about! to 1$ lbs. of potash. There are very few acres of land in the State Of New York which will fatten one bul lock permere, and even if it were, the potash, carried of would not amount to more thaii one pound. Of milk, 100 lbs. weight contalnes little over half a pound of mineral matter, or about onethirteenth part of what would be 'contained in 1(10 lbs. of hay, while butter robs the land of nothing. If land has Veep- jrnf overisfee4 by tbo s&!e of hay,

and hay is to be sold, dung isTthe cheapest maniu-e to apply; but if land so impoverished ia.. -intended for the future to produce milk, meat, or other animal products, potash is sure to be wan ting, and the best manure to apply

will he either .200 lbs. or sulphate or mil riatfi of notash. or three , times that

quantity of kanitsflts, and. in addition

Pensions. Special Cincinnati Gazette. " . Mr. Bently, commissioner of Pen sions, before leaving, made to your corresnondent the following statement as to the condition in which he would leave the office, and as to the future of the pension service. The number of pensions granted during the year will be about 25,000, inclusive of the war of 1812 pensions. This is .an increase of more than sixty per cent, over , the number granted last year, and a portion of .tiiis increase is accounted -for by the fact that we have handled a very large number of new claims during the vear, many of which were for gun shot wounds or of some disease of which there was a record. This element will enter more largely- into the work of next year, and. continue to increase the number of annual settlements until the claims which are pending, but not yet reached, for adjustment, have been gone over. After that the work will fall back into the usual course. The set tlement this year ought to reach from 45,000 to 50,000. Mrst, there are probably from 5,000 to 7,000 cases . on the files ready, or nearly so, for the issue of the certificates. Second, there will be an increase of the remaining force, including that relieved from the work upon the records, equal to nearly fifty percent. Third,, there will be a large increase in tho number of special agents, which, under the law as modified last winter ought to considerably increase the number J of claims which will be settled. These, together with the character of t:iie claims before referred to, ought to nearly,. if not quite, double the number of allowances. We have exhausted the pension appropriation this year, $58,302,406.08, and have been compelled to carry over into July nearly all the May and June settlements. I think they will require for the -first payments about $5,000,000. This added to the expected increase in the settlement next year, will run the amouut for nexteat up to nearly or quite $90,000,000. So there will be required for the pensions next year an appropriation ot 40,1)00,000 iu addition the 156,000,000 already appropiiated. New claims continue to come in very rapidly. There have been filed this year upwards of 80;000 new-original claims. ,; Judges, and Juries, New York3uu. " :: The suggestion that judges are Sess subject to be swayed by improper influences than jurymen is one that cannot satisfactorily be discussed without fuller information on the subject than is accessible at present. Mr. Dodge's, conclusion (in Scribners Monthly), howrever, that justice, is safe in the hands of judges, is expressly based upon the history of the English courts since they became Independent of the Crown, 4 'and of our own where the life tenure of office fcas t een preserved.', It would thus appear that ic is ouiy in tbe Federal courlsmd in those Stales of the Union where a life teuure is established for the judiciary, that even he woi Id dispense with tbe jury.
