BIRDIE BELL
Softly sane falr-halred maiden,
As the summer ann sank low:
"He trill come again, my tiarllnr.
He will come again, I know."
Bat the maiden, ripe and rosy.
On a streamlet' mossy brink,
Where tbesentle lowlnr cattle
Often came to ce; a drink.
In her hand an opened letter.
On her cheek a pearly tear.
And a UtUe brlndle heifer
Standing silent In the rear.
Pleasant dreams are always shortest,
Kver small are boyhood's pley,
Winter comes ere autum's over,
Merry laucks precede our sighs.
Thus the lovesick maiden found It,
SI tunc by the pnrttnc brook.
Pawed the earth that little heifer.
As her head she gently shook.
Suddenly a forward movement
Then the maid becan to rise,
Aad a vista or strip d stockings
Passed before the heifer's eyes.
"When the maiden's loTer got there
Birdie Bell was In the creek.
Bat, thank heaven, was still uninjured
She had struck upon her cheek.
CAUGHT BY A GIRL.
I had been brought up in the strictest
seclusion at mv father's country parson
age, and all mv mother s time and care
kid been bestowed upon me, her only
.n.i t vn.- t Y..
been from home, and had never contem--nl&ted
the horrors of such aossibilitv.
Jy dismay, therefore, may be imagined
when, one morning, after 'breakfast, just
as I was running off to the poultry yard,
siy mother called me back, saying she
and my father wished to speak to me. I
could not help feling very guilty, and
was conscious of the fact that Lalla
Booth" was at that moment hidden un
der my mattress. Was it possible that
mamma had seen its library cover peep
ing out? My heart beat fast, and my
face was very red, while I stood to hear
what she had to say.
"Xy dear Clara" (I was twelve years
old, and wore curls) "my dear Clara,
your father and I have thought it best to
accept for you an invitation to spend a
day and a night at your godfather's. Sir
Thomas Bayne's, at Bolding Park. How
shall you like it?"
J had much rather thev had found
' "Lalla Booth." I had a horror of
strange faces, even when papa and mam
ma were present. But the idea of being
among strangers, alone, in a great, grand
bouse, for a whole day and night, was in
supportable. I wept and entreated in
such tones as ought to have melted a
bear! of stone. But in vain. My par
ents were, for once, inexorable, and I was
to go.
X need not detail all I suffered on mv
journey, nor during the first day. With
all Lady Bavnes kindness, the day
dragged wearily on, but I managed to
amuse myself tolerably until bedtime
came, when, after a good night, I went
. 1 r . .a 1
up tn my room, and found, to my horror,
that the lanys maid was waiting there to
undress me.
"Amlnever to beletalone?" thought L
But I had to submit to her fingers and
her tongue, which latter never stopped,
to make up the silence of mine, I sup
pose. Among other things she particu
larly cautioned me not to mistake a rope
that hung beside a closet door for a bell
pulL I inquired why.
"Whv, miss, the people that lived hero
before had a raving mad old uncle with
a great deal of money; and this was his
room where he lived with his keeper.
That closet, miss, is a shower bath, with
a great big cistern over it, big enough to
'drown yon and me; and when be was
more than common fractious his keeper
used to lock him in there, (you see the
key is on the outside) and pull on that
rope, which let all the water down over
his poor old head till he was almost dead.
One day, when they went to take him out
he was quite dead and his faEiily got all
the money. Bat it didn't do them much
good, seeing they haven't & penny now,
were obliged to let this house to Sir
Thomas, aad hide their heads in foreign
parts. They do say, miss, that the poor
old gentleman may often be seen here at
night in his shower bath, beweeping and
bewailing the cruelty of those who killed
him. Good night, miss, and I hope you
may sleep comfortable.'"
ishe ma, certainly-, not taken the best
means to sees re that happy r6sult;but
thoagk I was so shy, Iwas not in the
ieaet ervoas aboat those sort of things,
and cooseqaentlydid not trouble myself
much about her words. I lay for some
time, watching the flickering of the fire
on the ceiling, thinking of home.

an odd fancy seized me to look into thftj

it was. I foaght against tho idea for
some time, bat finding it kept mo awake,

a bequest of 300 a year, "as a mark of

H we may believe our Paris content
, porary, Le Globe, the married state is
, ono which every man and woman should
, devoutly pray for. Not only is life pro
longed. but society is benefited to n de
gree Uiat few have conception of. Ac
cording to the statistics given, which aro
said to be gathered from other countries
: bede France, against death, sickness, i
crime and suicide. It seems that the life j
01 a single man at twenty -nve is no
better than that of a married man of
forty-five, and a widower of from twenty-
five to thirty is not likely to live longer
than a married man of from lift v-Svo to
sixty. In fact, celibacy ages a man by
at leasx twenty years, ana me state 01 a
widower is still more deplorable. Single
women and widows are. it appears, aiini-
larlv at a disadvantage, except in the j
case of marriage, which Le Gk&t states
is a fruitlui cause ol death in women
when it is contracted before the age of
twentv-five. Widowers, accordintr to
' these 'statistics, are much more likelv to
be short-lived than widows; in fact be
low t.,e age of twenty-five the chances of
, .t . . , . .
death aro tnree or four times that of
married men. This danger, however,
diminishes after the age of from forty to
fifty. Widows also arc, as a rule, much
shorter-lived than married women up to
forty. With regard to crime, taking 150
criminals, the proportion of single to
married is about two to one.
In a population which furnishes 100
male married criminals, there are 170
single men, and in one with 100 females
the unmarried of the same ser reach the
high figure of 240. Tho number of sui
cides among single persons, including
widows and widowers, is also out of all
proportion to that of married men and
women, the relative rate being fire to
one. The same sol of figures point to
single life as most prejudical to health.
Consumption is a disease irnich affects
, single persona much more than those
' who aro married. II. Jannssens. of
' Brussels, has given his opinion that it is
twice as fatal in the case of widows and
widowers than with married people,-and
it is far more deadly with single persons
from the age of twenty -five to forty. Le
Globe sums up in view of all these facts
that a married life is the most to be de
sired, and appeals to its countrymen to
follow the example of other nation.-, and
not put off the happy state too long. The
marriage de conraiance is too deep
seated an institution in France for the
considerations set forth in our contempo
rary to have much weight, and wo tear
! that, however correct the statistics given
may be, that few of the readers of the
Paris paper will bo induced to change
their bachelor life and become good cat
zens and happy perex defamille.

Horrors of a ChlncM! Prison.

chanting in a sort of n sing-song tone: '
"Heavy higor! Heavy lugor! Oh ga!
Heavy "ingorl" In ono of tho principal
thoroughfares I saw a constant ttream of
sedan chairs, tho bearers chanting all in
timo and keeping military stop and a
picturesque procession it was.
Shanghai old town is completely walled
in and the gates aro just as I have scon
thorn in pictures. Over ono gato was the
heads of hix criminals, with the pigtail
swinging to and fro with tho breexo.
After passing through this gate, I made
up my mind to avoid thedisguoting sight,
and enter the city by another rood, but
the gato thnragh which I passed this
time had four heads over it, and I ass
told that all tho gates aro decorated in
tho same manner.

whoro all tho executions take place was
tilled with Chinese of all ages and condi
tion?, and a few Europeans among them.
Tho prisoners were the most forlorn
starvelings I evor saw, and betrayed no
more fear at their approaching fata than
if they were to be spectators ol an exece
tion. A huge Tartar officiated as exec
tionor. tie was armed with a native
sword, ami stood on a small platform in
the canter of the square. After tho

platform, hit him a sharp rap with his
hand oa the head, which eanseu tbf poor

business-like job of it, merely taraiag
to receive the plaaUits of Uie crowd at-
ter each head rolled off, and responding
by a grin, which showed evorv one of
Lis teeth. But the stolidity of the poor
I -wretches was bevond dfetcrintion. Not a
muscle quivered", and even when waiting
for the blade of the executioner to fall
could not detect a sign of emotion. The
crowd emcd to enjoy the sight im
mensely, and set up a Tell of delight at
each cat of the Tartar's sword. I ana
told tliat executions are common here.
Sickened with the sight, I went down
one of the roads, and coming to a prison,
went in. Of all places in this world, I
believe there is not one where so -each
abject wretchedness can be seen as ia a
Chinese prison. The prisoners serriBg
out sentences get bat one meal a week
from the aathoritiea; the rest of the time
they are fed by their fnendi, if they have
any, or by the contributions of visitors,
or they starve. I had not much money
with me on going in, but came oat pen
niless, the poor creatures so worked en
my footings. Some of the prisoners had
lost a hand, others were h cavil v iroaed.
and all wore tho same pinched, riarr it
look. I saw three women in process of
execution for murdering a man. They
were hasged by the neck in a sort of
wooden ntocks, so arranged that their feet
could jat touch the ground, and were
left in this condition til! dead. Some
times death ensue very soon, bat of tuner
a day or two passes before the poor
wretch dies, as there is no pressure oa
the neck. I was Rind to get away from
this place, too. But the piteous tones of
the -poor prisoners begging for "rem
shaw," (a present) ring in my ears yet.

'About twenty years ago La Belle

was frequented by a queer troupe of
Bohemians. Thoy were Bohemians of
the Eerger type, bright, penniless, fall of
good resolations, but htckingin will to

and Debouches, and Potrel. and Marc
Trapadottx, and Loclerc. They are all
dead and gone now, but tbey were origi

cation, but he wasted all his intellectual
gifts among a crowd of do-nothings who
could never appreciate him, and who
never encouraged him to better his con
dition. Potrel lived on bread, wine and
hopes. His hopes were that he would
one day become heir to a good fortune
and he did. Pelloqnet was a real or im
aginary art critic Ho j Kissed most of
his time at ths iielle Pome, drinking
Kiitt cerrcs, smoking most villainous
tobacco, and taking fine air. Pelloqnet
had a lady-love; her name was Georgette,
lie loved Oeorgette, hut Uoorgetteid

one day at the brasserio, "Pelloqnet
comes to the door ol my house every
morning, and there stretches and yawns,
as though he wished to make tcopIe be
lieve that ho had just coma down from
my room!" One day Pelloqnet deter
mined to givo a lecture on hne arts. 'Xiiat
would surely win Georgette's love. So
he hired a hall, all his friends came, and
Georgette, gayly dressed, occupied a
front seat. Polloquct logins his lecture

manuscript, "My dear f rionds," said he

of my life!" Polloquct became crazy a

small that if ho opened tho window his

was invited to dine, tho concierge cried

Tho work of tho sciontiilo circumnavi
gation expedition, though completed in

if even now, been fully reduced, and
somo of its most iuqtortant diboovories
are now announced by Dr. Curpontor,
its originator. Ono of the first questions

North Atlantic, when sounded with a '
view to laying the first Atlantic cable.
"Tho form" of the depressod area which 1
lodges the water of the deep ocean," he I
says, "is rather to be likened to that of a
fiat waiter or tea tray, surrounded I
by an elevated ami steeply-sloping nia. 1
than to tliat of the 'basin' with which it
is cotntiored:" and he adds, "the crcat
continental platforms usually rise verv '
abruptly Irom tho margin or tho real
oceanic depressed oruos." The average
dopth of the ocoan floors is now ascer
tained to be about I3.UU0 feet. As the
average height bf tho entire land mass of
ute giooc auovo sea icvei is auout iiaju i
feet, and tho sea area alnrnt two and j
three-quarter times that of the land, it '
follows that the total volume of i
ocean water is thirty mi times that of '
the land aleve soa-level. Those deduc
