Albert had always gone to Sun- day school and obeyed his par- ente, but John had been 8 bad boy. He had loved to torture kittens, to destroy bird’s neste and to make jittle girls cry. In time they grew to manhood and Joved the same woman. Julia Birdsall worshipped Al bert Rockingham, until he was arrested for highway robbery and sentenced te the penitentiary for tweoty-seven years. Then hor heart turned to stone. “Jnlia!” he cried, as they were leading himaway. “Julia! Julia! I am innocent |” But she gave him the Chilcoot Pass and faintedin the arms of John Dawson, who smiled sar- donically and muttered : “3 much, Albert Rockingham, for being a good boy and going to Sunday schoo)?” Twelve years passed—twelye weary, sorrow-laden years, dur- ing which John Dawson made love to the woman who had promised to be Albert Rocking- ham’s wite, and collected the rents that the falsely accused man ought to have had. »-But Nemesis had all along been hiding her time, and one day, when John Dawson wasn’t look- ing, she stole up and hit him on the solar plexus. Two days later Albert Rock- ingham emerged from _ prison, Weighing seventeen pounds more than he did when he was senten- Ged. . “Julial’’ he cried when she stepped forward at the depot. “Albert!” screamed the beau- tifal girl, and their Jips met. Then John Dawsen was lead away, gtiting hia teeth and swearing that he was not through yet. Vain threat! He rotted in a dungeon, while Albert and Jul a raised a large family and were truly happy. Thus virtue had triumphed, but, unfortunately, this didn’t happen in real life. It was just a thirty cents for the best seat melodrama.—Qleveland Leader. ey Remedy for Snake Bite. _ Last Wednesday, while at work at Baird's Creek hauling logs, J. ©.

Joe Jefferson’s Story- At the sixth sanoual meeting and dinner of the Old Colony club at the Vinevard Sound house. Falmouth Heigths, Joe Jefferson presided and opened the proceedings with the follow- ing story: “The worthy captain has just told me that itis useless to ex- pect of him a speech, but that if he were walking the quarter deck of a ship he would know where he was. Now that is where he greatly differs from myself. When I am walking a quarter deck of a ship I do not the least know where Lam. Iam reminded of what once occurred to me. 1 was crossing the At- lantic. The weather was dreadful. Captain Ashley knows what that means. I was trying to guide myself along the deck, and, incidently, to aid others, In this mission I ran across a lady lying prostrate on the deck, evidently gorely troubled with that dread- ful disease, sea sickness. “T paid to her, ‘Madame, may I bring you anything to relieve you?” “She looked up at me and fee- bly said: ‘L beg you will not mention it. Will you also kindly excuse me, sir?” “J then said to her: ‘But is there nothing I can do for you?” « ‘No, sir,’ said she in the same tone. ‘Please go away: ‘‘But madame,’ I said, ‘you are evidently suffering. Can I do nothing to he!p you?’ “‘T wish,’ said she, ‘that you would go away. Iam not fit to gee any one.’ “ 7 am sorry, madame,’ I per- sisted, ‘that I can be of so little service. Can I do nothing for your poor hnsband, the gentle- man whose head I see in your lap?’ ‘Oh,’ said she, ‘that 1s not my husband. I do not know in the least who he is.’ ” S cmenememniaaina hai aamill Odd Things About Rainbows Did you ever see a rainbow in the west? In discussing this curious ques- tion the Philadelphia Times giyes some interesting facts in regard to a rainbow and how itis formed : 1. lt is never seen except when the sun is shining in one part of the sky, and rain 1s falling in the other, or opposite, part. 2. It is generally seen in the east, because our showers come from the west and pass off toward the east. 3, ft cannot be formed ino the east except in the afternoon. 4. It cannot be formed in the west except in the morning. 5. Iv is never seen at midday, because the sun is then above us. and we cannot, therefore stand between it and the rain. Some of you may wonder why a rainbow is always semi-circular in shape. As a matter of fact, it is always a complete circle, but we cannot see but one half of the circle, because the earth cuts of our yiew. If we were poised in the air, high aboye the earth, ‘we could gee it all. The circular ghape is due to the fact. that the raindrops are round and that each drop reflects but one color aga strange thing, but to onreyes. Iv may strike you it ig true, ft ‘ emememem Ec aad Bodies of Criminals, Insane and Poor Sent to Medical Schools, It is a fact not generally known that the last legislature passed an act requiring that the bodies of all criminals executed and all people dying in jails, hospitals, asylums and other public institu- tions and required to be buried at the public expense, shall be delivered to the medical colloges of the State to be dissected for the promotion of medical science. But such is the case, and un- dertakers in this city have had quite a number of “stiffs,” as they are called, to embalm and send to the institutions of learning bince the pansage of the act- Mr. John Brown last week sent the bodies of two negro women, trom the Goldsboro Insane Asy- lum, to the University of North Carolina, and he now has anoth- er negro woman, undergoing the embalming process, which he will senda to Shaw University tomor- row. She is from the peniien- tiary and died of consumption. All such bodies west of Golds- boro are sent to Davidson Co:- lege. During the yacations these cians as may make application for them.—Charlotte Observer. The Indiana Lynchings. According tothe latest statis- tics available, there were in this For every ten years the lynchinugs in the United States haye exceed- ed the legal executions. It is a horrible fact to face, but the statistics are before us. We preach against other coun- tries, and yet we find that not one murderer ir fifty is punished according to his deserts, and that for every two hanged legally nearly uhree are murdered ille- gally in the name of justice. No more awful illustration of this modern tendency to take the law out of the hands'of the legal authorities could be found than in the case reported from Indiana. Five men accused of burgalry were lynched. Atthe very worst, this crime cold not have been legally punished by death, and the work of the mob will stand out not only as murder, but as murder without cause. ) It is a most deplorable spec- tacle for these last days of the nineteenth century.—Baltimore American. j a Sharp and Sententi ous.

What said the wood in the fire To the little boy that night, The little boy of the golden hair, As he rocked himself in his little armchair When the blaze was burning bright? The wood said: ‘‘See What they’ve done to me! I stood in the forest, a beautiful tree, And waved my branches from cast to west, And many a sweet bird built its nest In my leaves of green That loved to lean In springtime over the daisies’ breast. ‘From the blossomy dells Where the violet dwells The cattle came with their clanking bells And rested under my shadows sweet, And the winds that went over the clover and wheat — Told me all that they knew Of the flowers that grew In the beautiful meadows that dreamed at my feet. ‘‘And the wild wind’s caresses Oft rumpled my tresses, But sometimes as soft as a mother’s lip presses On the brow of the child of her bosom, it laid Its lips on my leaves, and I was not afraid, And I listened and heard The small heart of each bird As it beat in the nests that their mothers had made. ‘And in springtime sweet faces Of myriad graces Came beaming and gleaming from flowery places, And under my grateful and joy giving shade, With checks like primroses, the little ones layed, And the sunshine in showers Through all the bright hours Bound their flowery ringlets with silvery braid. *And the lightning Came brightening From storm skies and frightening The wandering birds that were tossed by the breeze And tilted like ships on black, billowy seas, But they flew to my breast And I rocked them to rest While the trembling vines clustered and clung to my knegs. “But how soon,” said the wood, “Fades the memory of good, For the forester came with his ax gleaming bright, And I fell like a giant all shorn of his might. Yet still there must be Some sweet mission for me, For have I not warmed you and cheered you tonight?”’ So said the wood in the fire To the little boy that night, The little boy of the golden hair, As he rocked himself in his little armchair When the blaze was burning bright. —Frank L.
