OUTWARD BOUND. BY SUSAN COOL1PGE. A greviousduty of wrathful winds, Of low-huni; clouds which send and fly, And drop cold rains, then lift and show A sudden realm of upper sky. The sea is black as night, it roars From lips afoam with cruel spray, Like some fierce, many throated pack Of wolves, which scent and chase a prey. Crouched in my little wind-swept nook, I hear the menacing voices call, And shuddered as above the deck Topples and swings the weltering wall. It seems a vast and rest'ess grave, Insatiate, hungry, beckoning, With dreadful gesture of command To any free and living thine "Oh! Lord!" I cry, "thou rarest life And hope and all Bweartuings w ue, , iouuwi Rebuke this hoverin This horror never Wiowinz death- rn of Thee."- A sudden aleam,the waves lit up With, radi tnt, momentary hues, A ruber and shadowy pearl and gold, Opal and blue and unknown blues And rising on the tossing walls, Within the foaming valleys swung, Soft shades of sea-birds, dimly seen, Flutter and float and call their young. A moment then the lowering-clouds Settle anew above the main, The colors die, the waves rise higher And night and terror rule again. No more I seethe small dim shapes So unafraid of wind and wave, NesUinpr beneath the tempest's mar Cradled in what I needed a gr. ,. But all night long I lay and smiled At thought of those soft folded wings, And trusting with the trustful birds, In Him who cares for smallest things. N. Y. Independent. THE THREE LOAVES. The day was bitterly cold in Virginia City, as winter days most generally are in that Alpine town, and though the sun was bright, it was as cheerless and chill almost as moonbeams. Wild gusts whistled through the streets, breathing icicles and frost in their furi ous course, and driving every living tiling away to seek shelter from its biting, penetrating breath. And yet not every one was housed and sheltered from the pitiless gale, for he who had work to do or business to transact was summoned by inexorable duty to come forth to his post, or else, when the day of reckoning came, abide by the con sequences; but, with - such exceptions as these, the male population generally sougnt tne warm anu friendly atmos phere of the drinking 9' saloons, where with "hot Scotch," and a glowing fur nace, they managed to keep themselves from freezing. Of tnese luckless ex ceptions, Abe uenning, tne baker, was one. In sunshine or storm, hail, rain or snow, people must eat eat, in fact; all the more voraciously because it does bail or snow, as if to perpetrate an un seasonable joke upon the baker, who. especially in appetising weather, must see to it that his customers' larders be properly stored with the rarest and best productions of bis oven. Even such cold weather as this did not deter Mr. Denning from attending to the wants of bis customers with the assiduity and attention characteristic of of his class. While disappearing into a customer s bouse witb an armful of bread, a girl of some fifteen years of age emerged from a miner's cabin close by, and, first casting wild and hurried glances around her, rushed to the baker's cart, and had just abstracted therefrom three loaves of bread, and was carrying them off, when the baker re turned and caught her in the act. Unfortunately, an officer was passing just at the time, and the baker, on the spur of the moment, and without giving the case the consideration which he oth erwise might, gave her in custody on the charge of -theft. The girl, without any attempt at expostulation or explanation, burst into an agony of tears, a sufficient evidence, perhaps, that she was but a no vice, after all, in the art of stealing. "Oh !" she exclaimed, "don't take me in this way. Let me wrap a shawl over my head, or the people will know me." The officer, consenting, accompanied her into the cabin, the baker having driven away, telling the policeman he would be in court the next day to prefer the charge before the police judge. The officer, on re-entering, found no one in the cabin but three children the youngest about three years of age, and the eldest six. The hut was cold and cheerless; there was no fire. The two elder children, alarmed at the presence of the officer, exhibited discolored eyes and faces, which bore evidence of suffer ing and recent tears; while little Willie, the youngest, was crying and inappeas able, moping aimlessly around the cab in, looking into the empty closet, and putting his little bands mechanically into the empty dishes on the table. "What made you steal the bread, my girl ?" asked the officer. At the mention of the word "bread," little Willie looked tearfully and pit eously in the man's face. The girl hug ged the little fellow frantically in her arms, covering him with tears and kisses. "Oh, my poor little brother!" she cried, bitterly. "What will become of you now ? This man is going to take your JLena away with him. Here the child threw his arms around her neck, as if to detain her by force; while the other two children screamed fit to break their hearts. The officer, suspecting the actual state of affairs, began to cough convulsively; but instead of applying his hands to his chest or throat, as most people do on such occasions, he applied his handker chief to his eyes. "Is there no coal, or nothing at all to eat in the house?" said he, in a gurgling sort of voice. "No coal, no bread, nothing to eat," replied the girl, wringing her bands, "and poor Willie and the rest of nave naa noxning to eat ever since tfrca.v mnntinar r i "Here the officer had another fit of coughing, and wfetjtwjwjtaying that he would be back again inJB(pjrt time. "Is the man gone for bread?" asked the oldest of the children. 'Hush, Mollie dear!" said Lena. "I don't know what he is gone for. He's nof a bad man, anyhow, for he hasn't ar rested me, as I thought he would." In a very few minutes the officer re turned with his arms full of bread and groceries, not forgetting some cakes and condiments for the smallest children.- wnue anoiner man at ins nee 18 carried a big Back of coal on his back. At the sight of the bread the children screamed with delight, while the officer now laughed, now coughed, and fre queafiy applied bis handkerchief to his face, Po wipe off the inspiration, as it were. While Lena cut up large slices of bread, and helped the children and her self, the two men set at work and made a large fire in the stove, the glow of which soon diffused warmth and comfort through the cabin. Then they cooked the meat and made the tea, and spread a us yes- steaming meal on the table, for the four orphans, while they carved and attended to their wants until they were fully sat isfied. .-M Happy, happy childhood, whose pre rogatives are innocence, mirth and joy i The children, after their dinner, didn't look like the same abildren at all. Their faces were bright and Joyous, happy and handsome, ana in a few minutes they were playing and laughing and romping, as happy as if they hod never felt the pongs of hunger. "Aid now," said the officer, delighted ar seeing the children so happy, "sit "iown. Tjena. and answer me a few auea- tn'nnn TfavA vnn no father or mother? "We have no mother," was Lena's re ply. "She died about a year ago, and father went away to Eureka to work about eight months ago, and we hain't seen him ever since." "What is your father's name?" "Dawson -Jim Dawson." "And he has sent you no money nothing?" "Nothing. Never heard of him since he went away. But when he was going he left us a bag of flour, and lots of gro ceries and things as much as would last us for six months, and he'd be sure to be back before the provisions were all out." "And you have got no letter from him at all?" "Not one." replied Lena, with a deep sigh. . - Poor Dawson had written to his chil dren, however, but postal communication being at that time very irregular and un certain in the Silver State, the children did not receive his letters. "Weil, I must go now," said the officer after a pause, "but I will call to morrow, and you'll have to accompany me up to the police station, for I must do my duty, youknow. Good-bye." And Leno Dawson was left alone with her little brothers and sisters. She felt sad and lonesome after the departure of her kind benefactor, but the buoyanoe of childhood soon gained the ascendency and before bed time the orphans were as happy as any group of little children in Virginia City. Meantime, the report about the steal ing of the bread and the destitute con dition of the children got abroad. Jim Dawson, a miner himself, was well known and popular among tne miners and the case created such sympathy and elicited so many reminiscences and com mentaries. that nrrite a crowd was at tracted to the police court Judge Moses presided. The judge bore the name of being upright and lion est, kind and benevolent, and if fault he had at all, it was thought. to be some what uncompromising rigor in' the dis charge of his olhcial duties, it was hard to say how the case would go. After the transaction of some prelimi nary business the case was called. The baker swore to the stealing of the bread and identified the defendant as the thief The officer testified to the famishing con dition iu which he found the children but said not a syllable about what he had done to relieve them. Poor Lena stood trembling before the judge. Thereupon a miner rustled through the crowd and stood before tbe bench, eyeing the judge with a depre cating Jook. "I declare to the Almighty, Jedge, said he, "I never knew the state of Jim Dawson's children, and if I did " He dropped a twenty into Lena's trem bling band. "Yon jest knowed as much about it as other folks," exclaimed another mi ner, excitedly, walking up and putting another twenty into the girls band, with an indignant air that flung back any latent suspicion that he kney any thing of the children's distress any more than anyboky else. Here Long Alec, a miner so called on account of the height and size slid tim idly and bashfully up to .Lena s side "Leenv." he said, in a half whisper, "hold yer pinafore," and he slipped two twenties into her apron, and then slid back behind the crowd into a corner, and holding his hat to his face, glanced tim idly around, to see that he was complete ly out of sight. Then came Wabbling Joe, who was far more bashful than even Long Alec, but put on a bold face, and laughed and talked loud to make believe that be was not bashful at all. "Jedge!" cried Wabbling Joe, laugh ing and nodding familiarly at the court, to disarm that functionary of possible rigor in the trial of the case in hand "Jedge. let the girl slide. She ain't done nothin' but what you or I would do if we was hungry." And poor Lena was once more the reci pient of another present. The court held down his head and smiled gravely at Wabbling Joe's defense of the accused, but immediately recov ering his gravity, said: "Gentlemen, I appreciate your liler- ality and generous sympathy for the young offender, and am particularly im pressed with tbe ingenious defense mode by my mend, wabbling Joe Here a good natured laugh escaped tbe whole crowd, as if to put the judge in good humor "but, continued his honor, "whatever might be the sympathy of the court for the sad condition of the ac cused, there is a public duty to be per formed, and the case must therefore proceed." "What is your name, my girl ?" asked tbe court. "They call me Lena Dawson, sir," was the reply "Call you Lena Dawson! And I sup pose Lena Dawson is your name, is it not V observed the judge. "No, sir, it ain't," returned the girl. "My father died when I was only three yt.'.rs old, and my mother got married to Mr. Dawson some time afterward. My proper name is Madeline Winters, but they call me Lena, for short." "Madelire Winters! Where were you born ?" asked tbe judge. "In Kansas City, sir," was the reply. "In Kansas City!" echoed the court, in a voice of still deeper gravity than be fore. "And what was your mother's maiden name, do you know ?" "Madeline Moses, sir," responded ' 'Madeline Moses ! My God! my God ! She was my sister!" And Judge Moses, overcome with emo tion, bowed his head on the desk, while a torrent of teaja flowed down hia, face. Just as the eWwd, in obedience to the dictates of delicacy, were emerging from the Police Court, to let uncle and niece indulge the sacred joy of mutual recogni tion, Jim Dawson appeared at the door, having just returned from his prospect ing tour in Eureka, and with an innate sense of propriety that did honor to his acquaintances, who were all rejoiced to see him, was quietly permitted to join his relatives inside. Son Francisco, Argonaut. The woes A. QIEF.S CHINESE TALE A Story that might have been Told in the of those unhappy Israelites . ja i .t - t-i . . wno were commanuea oy uieir Jgypuan taskmasters to make bricks without straw, find a parallel in the troubles which beset a special correspondent who has little or nothing to correspond about. f Correspondence of the London Empire. : From the London Telegraph, Dec. 28. A correspondent forwards the following il lustration of the superstition amongst the Chinese with reference to a very ancient and widespread belief that the fox has the power of assuming the human form to lead mortals to their destruction. -Jibe same powers are also ascribed to the badger by the Japanese. In this case the story is given as a true one, and the facts are stated to be well known to every, one living in the Great street outside the Chien Men (Front Gate) at Pekin, where the affair is supposed to have occurred: A certain Ningpo man kept a druggist's shop at Pekin. Having made a good deal of money by it he determined to commence a wholesale business as well as the retail one. He there fore bought a warehouse for storing drugs and pn,t it in charge of a nephew. His venture proved eminently successful, and he grew rich er daily, principally for the extraordinary reason that the drugs-stored in the warehouse were less liable to get damp or mouldy than anybody else's. As the nephew was at work in the warehouse he used constantly, to notice the prettiest girl he had. ever seen passing by the door. Though he sorely longed to try to make acquaintance with her .-he was restrained by her modest and retiring demeanor. Time went by and one day an old gentleman with a long beard and leaning on a staff called at the uncle's shop. . In-the coarse of conversation it 'appeared that he came from the borders of Bnensi and Eansu, and ,had originally tied to. Pekin to es cape from the Mahometan disturbances in the West. Finally, he said that he often remarked the nephew at work in the warehouse, and bad been struck by hia steadiness and his diligence, and he would like to marry his only-daughter . to him. He had sufficient money to make lib eral arrangements with regard to the trousseau and wedding presents, and would .not quarrel about terms. The young man, being so far from his home at Ningpo, was not betrothed to anyone. His uncle therefore gladly accepted the proposal. As both parties were strangers in Pekin, everything was settled and the mar riage ceremony performed without any unne cessary formality. When the time came for the bride to unveil, the bridegroom, who had never yet seen her, was most anxious to know what she was like. At the first glance, what was his joy to discov er that she was the girl he Used to see walking past the warehouse. The marriage was a happy one. He was the fondest of husbands and she the most loving and dutiful of wives. Before long the young man's father in Ningpo, wish ing to see his new daughter-in-law, wrote and told his son to bring her home on a visit. The son accordingly made preparations to start off as soon as possible. For the last day or two before hia departure the uncle, who had not been home for many years, was constantly coming to his house, as he had a thousand things to talk about reminiscences to recall, messages to be delivered and the like. When the moment for them to commence the journey actually arrived the uncle went across fo.- the last time to say good-bye, but to his astonishment neither nephew nor niece was to befound. After a fruitless search he went to ho house of the girl's father to see if he could learn anything there. But there was no house standing, merely two or three wretched little rooms in ruins without doors or windows. He made inquiries among the neighbors, but none of them knew anything of the old man or the house. Everything was then plain. The old man and his daughter were foxes and had made away with the young husband. But stranger than anything else was the fact that from that day forth the drugs stored in the warehouse became just as subject to mould as those any where else. A Short Sermon oa Charity. "I war axed by a white man de odder day," remarked de old man as be wiped off the end of his nose, "how much poul try die club would send out to de poo' for deir Christmas dinner. When I tole him we shouldn't Bend as much as one wing of a lean pullet, he abused me as selfish an' hard-hearted, and preached me a long sermon on charity. Now let me say a few remarks. In de fust place, poo' people am jis as much a fixture in dis world as de sun or moon. Dey have alius bin an' alius will be. I nebbar yit foun' a poo' man who wanted to better his condishun dat he didn't have lots o' chances to do so. It am no mo' de big ness of de sun to shine for one sartin class. If de poo' expect it, it am bekase ob deir cheek. Let me ax you what good it does for a family who am libin' on meal an' bacon an' tea to find big Christmas turkey on de table? Ten time out o' 'leven it will be sold to de nearest grocery or saloon. When it is cooked on' eaten it's sartin to make some one sick. Gibin' ole cloze to de poo' makes 'em lazy. If a man kin git his Ubin' widout work, what's he use of work in' ? Ebery man sot out for a tramp goes to prove to dat man dat hard work am only for dull men. You can't find me ten cases of suffer-in' poverty in Detroit whar de sufferers am not directly spons ible fur deir condishun, an' whar dey couldn't improve it if dey would. Charity means to forgive faults in their fellow men. It doon' mean feedin' loafers an' lazy-boneses. Dis club will help a widow or an orphan, but when it comes to the ginerol poo' dey shall have neither sym pathy nor aid. If de Lord bad intended dat one-half the world should work hard to support the other half loafin' oroun'. we should have got de news long 'nuff atore dis time. .Brother uardner in uetroit tree .frees. Patterns by Cbystalization. The curious arabesques produced on window panes by frost have suggested to a French inventor a system of obtaining designs for printed stuffs by crystalliza tion. He has made experiments with so lutions of sulphate of zinc, copper, iron, alumnia, and magnesia, into which plates of glass - were steeped, and then allowed to dry slowly at different temper atures. The crystals thus deposited formed a great variety of fanciful figures, flowers, feathers, stars, etc. These may be fixed by an addition of albumen or gelatine. If copper plates are used, the designs thus obtained may also be made permanent by electrotyping. The great difficulty is to obtain continuous patterns to be reproduced on the cylinders used for printing; but that may be overcome bv nsinc nvlindrical elates of copper. J KJ 1 j A. t M. M. ' and turning them on their axes while the evaporation is going on. The crystalliza tion is, however, frequently irregular and leaves blank spaces which spoil the harmony of the design, but this defect will probably be overcome by experience. It is not certain that the method has yet been nractioallv emrjloved. but the idea is ingenious, and probably will be event ually turned to account. Asteono mic An. Star gazers ought to be happv. Venus is the glory of the evening sky, and will continue through the month to oscillate on ner eastern journey, reoeeding from the sun, ap proaching the earth, and increasing in brightness and apparent size. For three months to come the western evening sky will present a errand scenic performance. in which Venus, Jupiter and Saturn will be the principal actors. Venus will ap- t roach Jupiter and Saturn; Jupiter and aturn will approach each other. Venus will meet and pass Jupiter, and after ward pay her court to Saturn in the same way. Then Jupiter and Saturn will be close together, and pass each other just as they come into conjunction with the stin; and the grand panorama of single, double and triple conjunctions will not close until next May, when Venus comes into inferior com unction with tbe sun, and her reign as evening star closes. The reason whv mole kittens ore so playful and mischievous, is probably be cause they are torn-boys. At tbe Stamp Window. Just before 11 o'clock in the forenoon there were thirteen men and one woman at the stamp window of the poetoffice. Most of the men had letters to post for the Eastern trains. The woman had something tied up in a blue match-box. She got there first, and she held tbe sits nation with her head in the window and both elbows on the shelf. "Is there such a place in this country as-Cleveland?" she began. "Oh, yes." "Do you send mail there?" "Yes." "Well, a. woman living next door asked me to mail this box for her. I guess it's directed all right. She said it ought to go for a cent." "Takes two cents," said the clerk, after weighing it. "If there's writing inside it will be twelve cents." "Mercy on me, but how you do charge!" Here the thirteen men began to push up and hustle around, and talk about one old match-box delaying half a dozen business letters, but the woman had lots of time. "Then it will be two cents, eh?" "If there is no writing inside." "Well, there may be. I know she is a great hand to write. She's sending some flower seed to her sister, and I presume she has told her how to plant 'em." "Two threes!" called one of the crowd, as he tried to get to the window. "Hurry up!" called another. "There ought to be a separate window here for women!" growled a third. "Then it will take twelve cents!" she calmly queried, as she fumbled around for her purse. "Yes." "Weil, I'd better pay it, I guess." From one pocket she took two coppers. From her reticule she took a three-cent piece. From her purse she flashed out a nickel; and it was only after a hunt of eighty seconds that she got the twelve cents together. She then consumed four minutes in putting on the stamps, "asking where to post the box, and wondering if there really was any handwriting inside. But woman proposes and man disposes. Twenty thousand dollars' worth of busi ness was waiting for a twele-cent woman, and a tidal wave suddenly took her away from the window. In sixty seconds-the thirteen men had been waited on am gone their ways, and the woman returned to the window, handed in tbe box and said: "Them stamps are put On kind o' crooked, but it won't make any difference, willii?" Sam Joshing was up again yesterday. "What brings you here this time ? asked the recorder. "De pliceman, dab; de same what bmng me heah lastftime." ' 'I mean what did yon do ?"

The Waldensian valleys are now easily accessible from Turin by a railway from Pignerol, whence a road, traversed by a diligence daily, takes the traveler to La Tonr, the capital of the district. It is sit uated at tbe entrance of the Valley of Lusurna or Yal Fellice to the left.and of Angrogna to the right. Beyond Angrogna and parallel with it, but separated by a range of bights, is the Valley of Perouse, from wbich opens the valley of St. Mar tin.
