A Juryman's Story We had been out twenty-lour hours, and stood eleven to one.— The case was a very plain one—at least we eleven thought so. A murder of peculiar atrocity had been committed, aud though mi eye had witnessed the deed, cir-cumstances pointed to the prison-ers guilt with unfailing certaiuty. The recusant juror had stood out iiuiii the urst. ile acknowledged the cogency of the proofs, confessed his inability to reconcile the facts with the defendant's innocence, and yet on every vote, went steadily for acquittal. Hia conduct was inexplicable.— It could not result from a lack of intelligence, tor while he spoke but lit I If, his words were chosen, and evinced a thorough understanding of the case. Though still in the prime of man-hood his locks were prematurely white, and his face had a singularly sad and Ihoughtftil expression. Ile might be ouc of those who entertained scruples as to the right ol society to inflict the dea.h pen-alty, liut no, it was not that, for in reply to such a suggestion, he lninkly admitted that brute men, like the vicious brutes they re-semble, must be controlled through fear, and that dread ot death, of supreme terror, is in many cases, I he only adequate restraint. At the prospect of another night of fruitless imprisonment, we begau to grow impatient, and expostu-lated warmly against what seemed an unreasonable captiousness, and some not over kind remarks were indulged in as to the propriety of trilling with an oath like that un-der which we were acting. "Aud yet," the mau answered, as though communing with himself rather than impelling the imputa-tion, " it is conscience that hinders my concurrence iu a verdict ap-proved by my judgment.'' "How can tliat bet" cried several voices at once. "Conscience may not always dare to lollow judgment." " ltu. here she cau kuovr no other guide.'' " I once would have said the same." " And what has changed your opinion !" " Experience." The .speaker's maniiei was visibly agitated, aud he waited in sileuce the explanation which he seemed ready to give. Mastering his emotiou, as if to answer o,ir looks of inquiry, he continued: Twenty years ago I was a young man, just beginning lite. Few had brighter prospects and none bright-er hopes. An attachment dating from child-hood had ripened with its object.— There had been no verbal declara-tion aud acceptance of love—no formal plighting of troth; but when I took my departuie to seek a home iu the far West, it was a thing understood that when I hail found it and put it iu order, she was to share it. Life in the forest, though solitary, is not necessarily lonesome. The kind of society afforded by Nature depends much ou one's self. As for me, I live more in the future than in the present, and hope is an ever cheerful companion. At length the time came for the final payment of the home which 1 had bought. It would hencefor-ward be my owu ; in a few months my simple dwelling, which I had spared no pains to reuder inviting, would be graced by its mistress. At the land oflice, which was some sixty miles off, I met my old friend, George C. He, too, had come to seek his fortune in the West, and we were both delighted at the meetiug. He had brought with him, he said, a sum of money which it was his purpose to settle. I expressed a strong wish to have him for a neighbor, and gave him a A i J\.

He tiuued my way homeward, while he the truth yet might be brought to went back. 1 was retiring to bed on the night of my return, when a summons from without called me to the door. A stranger asked shelter for him-self ami horse for the night. I invited him iu. Though a stranger, his lace seemed not un-familiar. He was probably one of the men that I had seen at the land office, a place at that time very much frequented. Offering him a seat, I went to see his horse. The poor animal, as well as I could see by the dim star-light, seemed to have been hardly used. His panting sides bore wit-ness of a merciless riding, and a tremendous shrikiug at the slight-est touch, betokeued recent fright. On returning *o the house, I found the strauge. had gone. His absence excited no inrprise; he would doubtless SOOL -eturn. It was a little singular, ho«^ »r, that he should leave his watch up the table. light. All this I had heard, and it had soothed as with sweet incense my troubled spirit. Death, however, unwelcome its shape, was now a portal beyond which I could see oue angel waiting to receive me. I heard the sound of approaching footsteps aud nerved myself to the expected summons. The door of my cell opened, aud the Sheriff and his attendants eutered. He had in his hand a paper. It was doubtless my death warrant. He began to read it. My thought* were busy elsewhere. The words '• full and free pardou,r were the first to strike my preoccupied senses, They af-flicted the bystanders more "than myself. Yet, so it was, I was par-doued for an offense I had never committed. The real culprit, it is beedless to say, was none other than he who had sought aud abused my hospi-tality.

While travelling, a few years since, I was detaiued some days in one of our Western cities. Mv room overlooked a laue or alley way, in which were several houses occupied by the better class of ar-tisans, and I became much inter ested in oue of these ; so much so that no sooner did I hear a glad shout from a little voice than I , knew it was meal-time, and " Dad-dy iras coming," and I took up my point of observation in harmless '•and admiring scrutiny of the well-governed house. Ou the way iu the father raised the rejoicing child in his arms and gave it two or three resounding smacks; another one , had crept to the door-sill, and this was lifted also, and its little cheek laid teuderly upon his shouluer, which was hunched up to bring it closer to the father's. By this time, the wife had brought a bowl of water and a white, course towel. Then she took the childreu down, applying also sundry pats, now ou the shoulders of the little ones, and now on the broad, fatherly ones: and while the husband gave a last rub ot tho hard, rough hauds, he stretched out his neck and kissed the-pretty, girlish wife, who would be hovering near him. They said grace; they dined at the plain, wholesome board, and more than once I fouud myself wafting them a benedictiou with the tears in my eyes. It is so brutish to pass with out a word of recognition of the great Giver. The husband was a grave man, aud the wife a lively, cheery woman, neat as a new pin, and very chatty. I thought them wonderfully well matched, for there was no moroseness in the man nor levity in the woman. Aud wheu Sabbath came, aud the little house-hold, dressed in all their finerv, baby and all, went out to church, it was a sight to behold.—7/eraW o/ Health. 1 was too much Btnpefied ill first to ask what il all meant.

My confusion was taken as an addition-al evidence. And wheu at length I did command language to give an intelligent story, it was received with sneers of incredulity. The mob spirit is iuhercnt in man—at least in crowds of men.— It does not always manifest itself iu physical violeuce. It sometimes contents itself with lynching a char-acter. But whatever its form, it is always relentless, pitiless, cruel.

The means of transportation from one State to another, are convenient and rapid. The negroes cannot be too often nor too solemnly warned that the white people, like themselves, are here to stay. They do not intend to be hewers of wood, nor drawers of water. They do not intend to abandon their homes, nor to be taxed out of them. There is a limit to the right of taxation, and the negro leaders and their allies have already reached the boundary. —Jackson, (Miss.) Clarion. was as hard as his office; but he represented the majesty of the law, aud took a sort of grim pride iu the position. As much uuder the glance of his eye as before the muzzle of his pistol, the cowardly clamorcrs drew back. Perhaps they were not suf-ficiently numerous to feel the full effect of that mysterious reflex iu-liueuce which makes a crowd of meu so much worse and at times soniucu bettir than any of them singly. • ••••• At the eud of some months my trial came. Itcouid have but one result. Circumstances too plainly declared my guilt. I alone knew they lied. The abseuce of the jury was brief. To their verdict I paid but little heed. It was a single hideous word; but 1 had long anticipated it, and it made no impression. As little impression was made by the words of the Judge which fol-lowed it; and hissolemu invocation that God might have that mercy upon me which man was too just to vouchsafe, sounded like the hol-lowest of hollow mockeries. It may be hard tor the condemned criminal to meet death ; it is still bardei lor him who is innocent.— The one, wheu the lirbt shock is over, acquiesces in his doom aud gives himself to repentance; tbe heart of the other, filled with re-bellion against tnau's injustice, can scarce bring itself to ask partlou of God. I had gradually overcome this feeling, in spite of the good clergy-man's irritatiug efforts, which were mainly directed towards extracting a confession, without which he as-sured me he had no hope to offer. On the morning of the day fixed for execution I felt immeasurably resigned. I bad so long stood face to face with death; had so accus tomed myself to look upou it as a An Extraordinary Rexiue.—Tbe Charleston (West Virginia) Courier says that during the flood in Coal Kiver, Mrs. B. Harless, who resides on a farm near that stream, with her husband, saw that her little child had fallen into the rushing torrent. She immediately, with a scream of anguish, leaped into the river to rescue the child. Attracted by the scream the husband rushed up and plunged in. The mother bad succeded in catching hold of her child. The father, after watch-ing for a moment, saw his wife rise to the surface, when he swam to her aid and succeeded in briuging her aud the child to the shore alive and safe. ^^^^^^^^^ Tbe old bachelor is often rather to be pitied than laughed at. It is really cruel in the girls to speak ot him as "Old Bald head" merely be-cause he has no heir. Quarrels After Marrige. A wise woman has this to say of quarrels, both before and after mar-riage: "IYople talk of lovers' quarrels as rather pleasant episodes —pmbably because they are not quarrels at all. She pouts; he kisses. He frowns; she coaxes.— It is half play, and they know it. Matrimonial quancls are another thing. I doubt seriously if mar ried people ever truly forgive each other after the first falling out.— They gloss it over; they kiss and make up ; the wound apparent I v heals, but only as some horrible wounds given iu battle do, to break out again at some unexpected mo-ment. The man who has sneered and said cruel things to a sensitive woman never has her whole heart again. The woman who has uttered reproaches to a man can never bo taken to his bosom with the same tenderness as before those words were spoken. The two people who must never quarrel are husband and wife. One may fall ont with kins-men aud make up aud be friends again. The tie of blood is a strong one, and affection may return after it has flown away, but love, ouce banished, is a dead and buried thing. The heart may ache, but it is with hopelessness. It may be impossible to love any one else, but it Is more impossible to restore the old idol to its empty niche. For a word or two, for a sharpening of tho wits, for a moment's sell-asser-tion, two people have often been made miserable for life. For what-ever there may be before, there are no lovers' quarrels after marriage." A Honey Fountain. They have everything on a grand scale in California. The trees aud mountains are gigantic jiatterns.— Their vegetables and fruit grow in conformity with their surroundings. In California they can make two bites of a cherry, which would be mincing matters auvwhere else in the world. Even the California bees bnild big and make honey on a large scale. There is a hive ou eastern slo|ie of the San Fernando range, in Los Angeles county, which men have tried several times to capture, and have asofteu failed. It is iu a rify which penetrates tlm rock to a depth of one hundred and sixty feet. The opening is thirty feet long and seventeen feet wide, with two passages. The bees come and go iu solid columns about oue foot iu diameter. Etlorts have been made to descend to the store ol honey in the rock, but the men were invariably driveu back, and one man lost bis life. The hive has been knowu for four years, and it is estimated that there canuot be less than eight or ten tons ol honey in it A man who lives iu a cabin not far Irom the spot gets more honey thau his family can use from the leakage. It flows out of a small aperture iu the rock like a spring He has a honey fountain at his door. An Immortal Donkey. The Cincinnati papers recoid the death iu the grounds of the Zoo-logical Society, in that city, of the heroic donkey that whipped an African lioness last March. The circumstances of the battle are given iu detail. It seems that a boy who was leading the donkey stopped in front of the lioness'., cage to look at her. In a moment the lerocious beast burst the bars of I he cage and attacked the little donkey, seizing him by the dank and tearing him. With great sell possession he reached for the back of the lioness with his teeth and gave ber such a grip that she let go her hold and retreated to her cage. In tiiu commotion that ensued the donkey again got near the lioness, wheu she once more hounded for him, but he met her with his heels aud turned her topsy turvey. But the wound he received in the first encounter was more serious than it was at first supposed to be. Every possible effort was made to save him. but medical skill proved un-availing and he gave up the ghost last Tuesday. The fame of that donkey will be great, and w ill inure, it is to be hoped, to the beuolit and honor of his race. Truly " the bot-tom rail has got on top" in these days. The jackass has become king of the beasts. How the Sun Moved a Bridge. During the recent building of a bridge in Holland, one of the tra-verses, four hundred and sixty feet long, was misplaced on the sup-ports. It was an inch out of line, and the problem was how to replace it. Experiments proved that the iron work expanded a small fraction of an inch to every degree of heat received. It was noticed that, the night aud day temperature differed by about twenty-live degrees, aud it was thought this might be made to move the bridge. In the morn-ing one end of the pieces was bolted down securely aud the other end left free. Iu the heat of the suu the iron expanded, and toward night the free end was tightened. The contraction then dragged the whole mass the other way. For two days this experiment was re-peated, and the desired place reach-ed. The contraction aud expansion of iron bars by fire heat has fre-quently been used to move heavy-weights over short distances. Bro-ken walls and strained arches have been brought into place by simply heating irou rods till they expanded, then taking the slack by screws and nuts, anil allowing contraction by cold to pull tbe wall or roof into place. _^_^^_^__ The Esquimaux have an ingenious way of killing bears. They sharpen tbe ends of a piece of whalebone a foot or more long, then bend it double, and wrap it closely in fat meat, which is exposed to the air till it freezes. These treacherous pellets are thrown to the bear, which bolts them whole. They thaw in his stomach ; the berrr whalebone straightens, and the sharp points pierce his vitals when-ever he attempts to move. I was reminded of a story which Roberts Toombs, of Georgia, tells. It has been related once iu the Commercial, but will bear repealing. During the financial crisis of 1867 a countryman came to Toombs with a tale of distress " We must have more money," he said " or we are ruined." •'How iu the devil are you going to get more money!'' asked the profane Toombs. " Let the State Bank print it," replied the countrymau. " Well, wheu that's gone what will you do ?" asked Toombs. " Let the bank print more," re plied the countryman, who had ideas of his own on finance "But how is all this money to be redeemed J" asked Toombs, tbiiikiug he had his rural frieud coruered al last. "That's the point," answered the countryman ; "you see I'm agin to-demption."— Cincinnati Commercial. "The first disturbance ever ere ated in the world," says the Chicago Tribune, "was occasioned by the devil fooliug about a woman." Yes. but the woman was more to blame than the devil. If Bhe had pulled that apple and eaten it ami gone on about her business without say ing any thing about it, the chances are that the newspaper would octet have gotten hold uf the affair and the wot Id woflld never have been any the wiser. But nothing would do but she must go and --make a blowing-hoin of the thing," and the first thing she knew her hunband was thrown out of employment, with hardly money enough to buy a chew of tobacco. Aud evei since there has bceu the devil to pay aud uo pitch hot. A rustic youngster being asked out to take tea with a friend, was admonished to praise the eatables. Presently the butter was passed to bim, when he remarked, " Very nice butter—what there is of it," and observing a smile, he added, " and plenty of it—such as it is." A Newfoundland dog saved twelve .persons during the recent French floods, but was drowned in attempting to save a thirteenth. There are 2,150 cubic inches in a level bushel, and for corn iu the ear you must give three heaped half bushels, which equals two level bushels, making 4,390 cubic inches. Recently two inkstands and a pen were dug up at Pompeii. The pen is of metal, and made almost simi-lar in shape to oor quill pens; so in the writing liue the moderns are not so far ahead after all. "Isn't the republican party re-sponsible for the rain F—lI'ittiiuurg Commercial— For the reign of cor-ruption in Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina !— Yes; of course it is.—Memphis A c-alanche. "Figures," says the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, "do not lie." They certainly do not, and in this they offer you an example which, were it not for the utter want of capacity on yonr part, yon should endeavor to follow—Courier- Journal. Our Little Ones. The Listeners. Two city boys lost their way in | the woods, aud late at night took shelter iu a solitary inn. At midnight they awoke, and sit- Bag up in bed, heard some one talk-ing in the next room. The boys pnt their ears to the wainscot, and distinctly heard a voice say— ' Wife, get the big kettle ready tomorrow, for I mean to kill the two young rogues out of the town.' The iioor boys shuddered. ' O dear this innkeeper is a can-nihal!' they whispered softly to each other." ' What shall we do r After a moment's thought, they got out ol bed, aud sprang out of the window, hoping to escape that way. But one of them hurt his loot so badly in jumping that he could go no farther; and besides, the great door of the yard was locked. tv> they crept into the pig-sty vith the little pigs, and lay there trembling till morning. Iu the morning came the in^ keeper. He opened the sty do sharpened a knife, and called out— • Now, you little rascals, out with yon ; your hist hour hus come.' Both boys set up aery ot horror, and begged on their knees to be spared. I'he man was surprised to liud them iu the pig sty, and asked them why they thought him a murderer. i he boys sobbed out— • Because we heard you say in tbe night that yon would kill us this-moi lung." The . the inkoeper laughed and said " • •<>. you silly hoys: I never mean! you. I was talking of my litlle pigs, whom in joke I kiwi call my little rogues out of the town becaiise I bought them iu the town. Hut so it always Is with lis-teners, as tin- rhyme goes— ' 1'ul your ear todoor or wall. You will bear no good a'all,'" My Father Knows the Way. Walking down W street one morning I saw a blind boy standing on the side walk, with his bead bent forward as if eagerly listening. Stepping up to him, I said : " Shall I help you across tl„. street, my little friend I" "Oh, no, thank you ; I am Whit-ing for my lather." " Can you trust your father 1" "Oh, yes; my father always takes good care ol me, leads m. the time, and when he has my hand I feel perfectly sate." '• But why do you tool safe f" Raising his sightless eyes, •with a sweet smile and look of pen trust, he replied : "Oil! because mv lather knows the way. He can see, but 14m blind" This little blind boy preached a sermon lo me. Do we, with our hand in our Father's, feel perfectly safe! We are poor, blind children, vet do we not often rebel against the way the father would lead us. and seek to go another way which si ems best to us I Because wc feel the thorns sometimes, nnd are pierced by their sharpness, we try some other path, which seems to our blinded eyes to lead to pears-and test, liut the Father can see, and shall we shrink from the path helms narked out in wisdom and love—that path which, though it be one of trial and Buffering, will best lit us lor heaven ' Though a heavy cross lies lieiore us, though the burden seenss too heavy tor our weary frame, aud our Weakness, cries out, " Father, save me from this hour," stay we not with our Buffering Lord and Saviour exclaim : "Yet tor this i-.in-o came I unto this houi T l-'atliei glorify thy name.' Then, even the burdens will seem precious, as means of drawing'us mto closer sympathy with our Ixud. and wc shall be able to tejoice that we are counted worthy to sutler.— Av.ili'-in Messenger.

Forty Years Ago.
How wondcroiis are the changes, Jim,
Since forty years ago,
U hen gals wore woolen dresses, Jiui,
And hoys wore pants of tow ;
When shoe* were made of calfskin
And socks of homespun wool,
And children did a half-day's work
Before the hour of school.
The girls took music lessous, Jim,
Upon the njiinuiii^-wheel,
And practiced late and early, Jim,
On spindle, swift and reel;
The bojs would ride hare-backed to mill
A dozen miles or so,
And huiry off before 'twas day,
Some forty years ago.
The people rode to meeting. Jim,
In sleds iustead of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As baggies now-a day*,
An oxen Answered well fur teams
Though now they'd l»e too slow,
readily consented, and we set out need} momentary pang, (hat I no

miles when George suddenly recol-lected

taken for a friend which would re-quire
his attendance at a public
land sale on the following day.
Exacting a promise that he would
not delay his visit longer than ne-cessary,
and having given minute
directions as to the route, I con-longer
felt solicitous, save that my
memory should one day be vindi-cated.
She for whom I had gone to pre
