"A CLEAN BREAST." Joe was splitting wood

tin

the shed,

and working with a will, so much so that he didn't see his Aunt Sarah's little King "Charles spaniel when he came run ning in at the back-door, and directly under where his a* was comming down, until too late to prevent the catastrophe which took place. Down came the ax with a loud thud, in spite of his efforts to stop it or turn its course, killing the poor little dog instantly.

Joe dropped the ax and stared at the dog with frightened eyes. What would Aunt Sarah say? She knew he disliked Beppo very much', and would 6he believe that hisideath had occurred accidentally? He was afraid 6he would suspect foul play, and it made him turn pale to think of trying to explain it to her. If he could only hide his agency in the matter, and let her suspect whom she pleased, he might be fortunate enough to escape suspicion.

He heard Ralph Noyes whistling as he worked in the garden across the way, and a plan flashed into Joe head at once. Beppo had done considerable mischief among Ralph's flower-bed at different times, and when he broke down his beautiful Japan lily Ralph had threatened to kill him, or do something desperate, if he caught his offender there again. Why couldn't he contrive (o have suspicion thrown upon Ralph? Of course, if Aunt Sarah asked him about it, Ralph would deny knowing anything about Beppo's untim-ly enn but she might not believe him, and in that case Joe would stand unsuspected. Anyway, it seemed worth while to try this plan— and he concluded to do so." He wrapped the dead dog in an old blanket, and hid the body in a safe place then covered up the traces of blood, and went to spliting wood again.

After dark he took Beppo and threw him over the fence into a pasture near Mr. Noyes' house, where he knew some one would be sure to discover the animal soon. When he went back home from doing this he seemed so contemptible and cowardly to him9elf that he half wished he had gone to Aunt Sarah at once and told her the truth. Something kept whispering "coward" and "he" to him. "There isn't any lie about i^" he kept telling himself—"I haven't said a word' to anybody." "But a lie can be acted as well as told," said this accusing voice "and only cowards shirk the consequen ces of being honest r.nd truthful." It wasn't pleasant to listen to such words from his own conscience but he had to do it, for, in the main, he was a manly fellow, and he was not used enough to doing cowardly deeds and acting lies to feel comfortable now. But he had begun a course of deceit, and he would go on now. It was too late to turn back, he thought. He had not learned that it is never too late to try to undo a wrong. "Better late than never," is a maxim for the vrongdoer to heed and profit by.

The next day Beppo was found, and Rnl|h was suspected at once, as Joe had felt -ure he would be, by all the family, exo

-t

Aunt Sarah.

ft Wu\l™88Z 8feS.&%id. told me about it. He is a manly, and hon *t boy, in 6pite of his hot temper and what he might do in passion he would be frank enough to confess when he came to think the matter over sober ly."

But all the others felt confident that Aunt Sarah was wrong—all except Joe he knew, but he kept silent, feeling more mean and contemptible every moment, as he heard his father and mother and the children talk of his friend Ralph as the guilty one.

As toon as Ralph heard the supicions against him, he came over to see Aunt Sarah. "I didn't kill Beppo," he said and no one could doubt the honesty of hjs assertion when they looked into his frank, truthful face. "I haven't thought you did," said Aunt Sarah. "If you had, I felt sure you would have come to me and told me so. I am sorry to lose Beppo, but sorrier to think that some one is trying to hide the truth."

Joe felt his face grow red when he heard her say that, and he dared not look toward her, for he somehow felt that she was looking at him. Could she. by any possibility, suspect him? He didn't see how she could, and concluded that his knowledge of his own guilt made him cowardly.

It was bout a week after that he and Ralph went grape-hunting in Walden Woods. He was up a tree over-hanging the river, when all at once the limb on which he was standing on broke and he fell into the water. He gave a wild, terrified scream as he went down—for he could not swim and the water was deep, and he felt sure he would be drowned. Ralph was near by and reached the spot just as Joe's head appeared above the surface. He sprang into the river, and swam to him, and succeeded in getting him safely ashore before poor frightened Joe realized that he was* not going to drown after all.

I think the first thing Joe thought of after getting over the terrible fright was his conduct toward Ralph during the last week, in allowing him to be suspected as guilty of Bippo's death. For some time he lay there on the bank, silent, and busy with his own thoughts: How shameful and mean in his conduct seemed to him now! He loathed himself. He felt as if he could never regain his self-respect. "Ralph," he said suddenly, "you don't know what a cowardly thing I've done —you don't dream how I've been repaying your friendship but I'm going to make & clean breast of it, if you hate even after. I killed Beppo, and threw him over in your pasture so that Aunt Sarah would think you killed "him. She never believed you did it, though, but all the rest of onr folks do. I'm going to tell them the first thing when get home. I s'pose you'll hate me. I shan't wonder any, if you do—I hate myself."

Ralph didn't say any thing," for the very good reason that he didn't know what to say. Il was perfectly natural that he should be indignant at Joe's treachery but he felt that he ought |not to condemn him now that he had made up his mind to confess it and do him tardy justice. So he wisely kept ^silent. I think that not another word was spoken until they reached' home. Then as they parted at the gate

Joe said.

"If you'll try not to think too hard of me, Ralph," and then broke down completely.

We won't think of it again, if w,e can vyt. si & $' if

help it," burst out Ralph, as generous as he was quick tempered. "I peraunce I've done »ust as bad things, and not ownin up to* 'em either, and that's where you got the start of me."

Joe began to feel a little better. He felt more courage to face Aunt Sarah with the truth. As it happened he met her on the steps. "Aunt Sarah, he began, quite pale, but brave because he-felt that he was doing right, and approved by his conscience, "I killed Beppo I'm sorry, but I didn mean to. He ran right under my ax, and I couldn't stop quick enough to save him. I did mean, though, to make you think Ralph did it," he added, with a fresh burst of self-scorn. "I lied if I didn't 6ay anything, and I used Ralph shamefully." "I am glad to hear you say this," Aunt Sarah said, with hearty good will. "I knew who killed Beppo all the time, but I wanted to see if you could continue to act the lie you began. I didn't think vou would. 1 felt sure you were too "manly to do that when you came to see your conduct in its true light. You've done brave deed, Joe, in telling the truth. It will be a good lesson to you. I'm quite proud of my brave boy," and she bent down and kissed him, while her eyes shone with admiration of his frankness and truthful conlession. "Shall you tell the others what you have told me, Joe?" "Of course," answered Joe, who had made up his mind to do no half-way work. "Our folks think

Ralph killed I didn't tell on thinking

Beppo, you know, and if them the truth they'd keep

"That's right," said Aunt Sarah, heartily. "The best way to undo a wrong is to tell the truth to everybody concerned. It may cost a great effort—but it pavs in the end, Joe." "I believe that, Aunt Sarah," answered Joe. "I've hated myself ever since I threw Beppo into the pasture. I don't, believe I'd ever have respected myself if I hadn't made a clean breast of it." "Did you ever think bow much that term meant, joe?—a'clean breast!' It's like 'white hands,' and I hope you'll never let wrong action soil either knowingly. When you've done wrong, dpn't be afraid to say so. It takes courage to do that, but"— "But it pays in the end," finished Joe. "I'm going to remember that always, Aunt Sarah and then he went in to finish the "good work" he had begun, —[S. S. Times.

LEARNING THE TROMBONE (Mr. Alden in the Kew York Times.) Of all the various brass instrument8 which have been devised by musical or malevolent ingenuity, there is none which in its capacity for inflicting both torture and delight is comparable to the trombone. Those who hava heard the trombone only when played by a master never fail to be surprised at its unique beauty of tone and its wonderful singing powers. It so happens that a true trombone virtuoso ii a rarity. Indeed there are probably not more than two persons ~L~ *annKli» pf playing the trombone as it should be played. Hence the great majority of mankind live and die in ignorance ot the real merits of the trombone, and whoever hears it well played straightway won ders why it is that so superb an instrument is apparently so neglected by musicians. This is a question which has never been thoroughly examined and it is full time that a satisfactory ai^wer to it should be found.

The history of trombone playing in this country is a sad and suggestive one In 1817, one Elias Brewster, of Boston, announced his intention of learning the trom bone, and began to practise in a house on the then lower end of Beacon street. Long belore he had learned the seven positions of the slide he was found dead in his front hall, with the instrument lying much battered beside him'. A coroner's jury of the vicinage found that he died of apoplexy, and after the funeral his ruined trombone was sold as old metal. Two years later another Bostonian, one G. L. Plunkett, undertook to master the trombone. Three weeks after he had sounded his first note he was found dead in his room, with the trombone slide inserted in his mouth, thereby horribly distending his jaws. The verdict in his case was suicide, though at this distance of time the facts did not seem to admit of any such interpretation.

These occurrences put an end to trombone playing in Massachusetts. It was, however, attempted in various other parts of the country. In 1832, Henry Van Schaick, ot this city, tried to learn the trombone, but died 60 suddenly that the coroner's jury found that he had poisoned himself. Perhaps he did, but why did he first smash his instrument and imbrue it in the blood of the back of his head? In 1837, 1841 and 1849, three other men named respectively Abrahams, Palmer, and Eschenbrodt, died in this city in the earliest stages oi trombone playing, and in each case their trombones were irretrievably smashed at or about the time of death. In Illinois, a man who resided in a country town, and who had a trombone sent to him from an Eastern citv, was taken out by his neighbors arid hung on a tree. This man was charged with horse-stealing, but not a particle of evidence was offered in support of the charge. There are men now living—the affair occured in 1850—who saw the man's body hanging, and who distinctly remember that over his head was jammed the bell of a trombone. .Not to mention any more cases in detail/ it may be summarily temarked that of the eighteen men who have lived to learn the trombone in this country since its settlement, seventeen died suddenly and one disappeared.' The fatality attending the learning of the trombone in Europe has been even greater, though it is probable that the statistics are not absolutely trustworthy. It is evident, however, that the man who tries to learn the trombone in a civilized community takes his life in his own hands and blows himself into a sudden and useful grave.

It is currently believed that, when Barnum's Museum was in existence, persons were allowed to practice the trombone on the balcony in front o£ the building. This is a mistake. It is true that the balcony was habitually used by amateurs desirous ofpracticing the cornet, ophecleide, and certain other instruments, but the effect of the trombone on the animals ia the menagerie, even smothered as the sound was by the roar of the street was so alarming that Mr. Barnum would not

The footing of the list for

.,,

THE TERRE HAUTE

permit any one with a trombone to be admitted to (he practicing gallery. The simple truth is t:iat no man has ever learned the trombone in this country with a view to playing it as a solo# instrument, and there is little reason to suppose that any man can make the attempt and live.

We see why a trombone soloist is so rare. The appalling and intolerable sound produced by a raw hand on the trombone uniformly infuriates the public to such a pitch that the unfortunate student suddenly dies. If we combine the yell of the midnight cat, the tearing of a carpet, and the blast of a hoarse steam whistle, we shall yet fall short of the awful utterances* of a trombone in the hands of a beginner. Flesh and blood cannot stand it. The Bostonian contemporaries of Elias Brewster were law-abiding men. but when they heard the noise of his trombone they rose up with one accord and said, "This man is going to die of apoplexy." The people who hanged the Illinois trombonist were his friends and neighbors, but half a dozen blasts upon his instrument convinced them that he had systematically 6tolen horses from his very, cradle.

But it may be asked, where have the few trombone virtuosi now before the public gained their skill The answer may be suggested by another question. How is it that the colony at Cape Town has grown so rapidly, and why have the natives so steadily fallen back into the interior In point of fact, South Africa has been colonized at the mouth cf the trombone. The government has encouraged trombone-players to emigrate to Cape Town, and has supplied them with trombones on condition that they would reside on the frontier. It is the blow of the trombone which has driven Bushmen, and Hottentots, and Caffres howling into the wilderness. Unfortunately, the mortality among the trombone-players has been very great, but three of them who have survived the roar of their companions' instruments have returned to Europe accomplished artists. There is a little doubt, from what has actualty been dope in South Africa, that the trombone would be a most efficient aid to the exploration of that country. Had Stanley tried to ltarn the trorrbone while descending the Congo he would have found no natives to fight, but he would have marched through a country deserted by its inhabitants, who would have fled from him as a new kind of demon of appalling hideonsness. However this may be, Central Africa is clearly the place designed by nature for students of the trombone. There alone can they practice in safety, and there alone will their brazen discords aid the march of civilization.

BISHOP JANES'S HUMOR. (New York Correspondence to the Boston Journal.)

Bishop Janes wa6 a modest, unpretentious man. He had great practical wisdom and was level-headed. He had great amount of dry humor. He often settled a commotion in his conference by telling a "story." One day a your.g man preached before the conference on Lot's wife. He had a poor time once or twice it seemed that he would break completely down. He saw the old bishop before him, and that made matters worse, "Bishop, what do you think was the matter with me this morning? I can do a great deal, better than that." "Quite likely. The trouble was with your subject. You had better let women alone. I never knew any good come to a Methodist minister from medling with other men's wives."
