Boy Wanted.

Thero i« a Gospel tent at the corner of Michigan avenue and Fourth-street, and on Sunday evening ther« is considerable passing in and out ou tbo part of pedes trians. Last Sunday evening, a boy of fourteen who had just left the t.nt ou countered a stranger, who stopped him aud inquired : " Say, bub, whaf sort of a porformanc- is goina: ouln there ?" '' Purty good thing," was the reply. "I'd kinder like to see the fat woman aud the living skeleton and tbo Albiuo ehiliren once more, but I'm purty near strapped. Is there any way 1 kin work in!"

" Us boys crawl under tbe canvass." "Anybody around to knock you stiff? " "Koversaw anybody. I'll show you wnere to go under."

"By hokey, I'll try it I It's no uso to throw away a quarter wheu you kin beat a aide show."

Tho boy took him round behind the tent and saw him safe under, and thr-n crossed tha street and sat down. He waited just exactly three miuute,, and then the stranger came c_nt of tbe tent hy tbo door. He looked up nnd down the street, closely 3-anned .every youngster about him, ami .Saally said to a bootblack :

" Bub, I'm lookin<4 for a you'h about two heads tailor than you—peaked nose-brown Htraw bat bair cut short 1. 1 want to see hira so awful bad for about a minute, ihat I'll give you hnlf-a.-dollar if you can find him arouud here 1" —"Detroit Free Pre 9*."

A Lover's Ruse,

SIR George Mackenzie, who flourished in the last half of tbe seventeenth century, was one of the most eminent jurists ever known in Scotland, besides being a brilliant ___v of letters. He iuherited wealth, and •during his busy life he added 8. much to it that he became one of the wealthiest men of bis time. As a politician bo was self willed and stubborn, and at times violent. Between himself and' the young Earl of Bute a strong political'difterence existed, •which neither showed a disposition to harmonize. Yet the Earl had fallen deeply in love with Sir George's daughter, and the Jove was by her returned. The lovers koew that the stern old advocate would not con sent to their union. In fact it is doubtful if Sir George would have admitted Bute to tbe bouse as a friend. His feelings were deep and bitter, and he had been heard to denounce the Earl as little batter than a renegade. The lovers put their beads together and consulted. Tney were eager to bo made _u_n and wife. Of course the young lady could elope and be married clandestinely, and the father could not help himself, but ah! he could disinherit hia recreant •daughter, and that must not be. The young Karl was not mercenary. Tbe damsel's prospective wealth as heiress of her rich father had not givea her a particle of extra attraction for bim ; jet be did not like the idea ot having his wife deprived of her just inheritance, and, naturally, he did not care to lose such a broad aad grand est'ite—for tbis daughter was an only child. At length tbe Earl bit npon a plan, and resolved to act upoa it. He visited Sir George in his chambers, while tbe latter held the otiice of King's -".d.ocat., and •appealed to him for a<si -tance. _Vow, as man to man, in matters^ of buiines*, or iv any way not involving brotherly love, Sir George held tbe young Earl in high esteem, and there was no man of bis acquaintance whom he would not have a-sist.d legally. Furthermore, the ■advocate had not the remotest idea that But- loved his daughter or that he was familiar with her. _ "Sir George." said the Earl, when he was ready to open up his business, "there is a young lady in this city whom I deaily aud devotedly love, and sbc has confessed her love for me. Her father is wealthy. flow, sir, I care not for the lady's money, yet it would not ba pleasant to havo her father -disinherit her. From this you can judge that her father is opposed to our union. At all events, we fear that such is the case, flow, my dear Sir George, I know that you would not hesitate to avouch for my worthi ness." , The old man nodded aesent very plea santly. .... «' And, sir, I think you would be willing to exert your influence in my behalf if I should marry the lady clandestinely. Your influence would be effectual, 1 am 3UAndso the Earl went on until he had brought Sir George not only to promise his assistance towa'd preventing a disinherit ance, but so far had tbe keen old lawyer entered into the spirit of the thing tbat he advised the Earl by all means to go "Why!" be exclaimed forcibly, "the man must ba blind, or a fool, who would reject such an alliance for his'daughter—one -of the oldest names in the realm ; a fair -share of wealth and a coronet. Go ahead, my lord, and 1 will sustain you if I And the Earl went ahead. Tiiat very -evening he artansred with the lady, and on the following day they were privately mar. In the ' evening Sir George missed his daughter. He had just inquired for her ■when a door was opened and she aud the Earl of Htite entered, band in hand, and advanced straight to his chair and went down on their knees. Not a word of explanation was needed. The old advocate caught his breath, changed from a death-like paleness to a furious flush half a dozen times, and finally ga" Sir' George, henceforth I shall take pleasure in sustaining my wife's father, said the Earl. A hot response was upon the parents lips but he swallowed it, and gradually a sense of the absurdity of the situation possessed him, and anon he burst into a hearty laugh, and the erring children were forgiven. _______________

We know several young men who pay a great deal of attention to the fair sex—and .that's about the only thing they do pay.

Records of a Village Green.

[By John Black-man.]

Some years ago, the writer of this brief sketch vvm sojourning at Ocklcy Green,*, pleasant but retired village about eight miles distant, in a southerly direction, from the picturesque town of Dorking—a town which Dickens immortalised in bis " Pick wick Papers." The high road from London to Worthing pansos through tho village green, but -moo the introduction of rail ways, this once well-known road has re mained in a state of disusa, and for twenty years the old stage coach horn has ceased to be heard by the rettler*. The turn pike gato has been unhinged and taken away, and the lingering posts had noarly gone to decay at the time of my visit (1869). On reaching Ockley Green, I was struck with it_ retired character. It seemed to lie entirely apart trom the active world, with a character peculiarly Its own. The nearest railway sution was distant seven miles, and the secluded church, shel tered by elm tree*, tho thatched cottage*, and the ono shady tavern, wore nn aspect of sunny repose. Thero werootber attraction,, however, about which I felt nurious, viz., two memorials of a benevolent governess, who spent halt her life-time in the parish. Historically, too, a little may bo said of Ockley. The ancient stone street, an old Roman road, passed to Arundel in Sus-cx through tho village, and tbo finger of tradi tiou points to vestiges of a Komau encamp ment on Holmbury Hill. Old writers assure us that a terrible bat'le was fought npon tui. breezy hill, whero "the wild thyme grows," iv tbe year 851.between tho Britons and the Danes, under Etholwoif and a thei stan.

Ockley, probably more than any other Sutrey rill-go, retains its primitive chnrac ter; everything seomed associated with by gone age**. An English poe'ees, Bessie nayner Parkes, who wa9 a guest at the house of the Squire on the e~st side of the green, wiotc a poem of some length on ' 'cklcy, in which she gave nn oxact de scription of the place. Mine Parkes wrote :— " Ockluy has a church and sptro;

A many generatloned squire; Straight roads which cut it left and right, A noble greon by naturo dlgbt. Old houses quaint and weath-r streak-, And troops ot children, rosy chcek'd.

John Evelyn's Wotton ii four miles distant, lying at the foot of Lcith Hill, tbe highest of tae Surrey hills, and one of Eveiyn's favourite ' walks was through this grove of oaks and across _ several meadows, covered in spring time with sheets o' daisies white and wild .lowers, and particularly on Sunday afternoons. This footpath lid to Ockley Church, which Erelvn frequently attended. Tho author of " Sylva " tells his readers of his love for Ockley Green, and of the simple habits of the villagers. Ono of their annual customs was to scatter flowers over departed lovers and friends. At the time of my visit, the air seemed to breatho of the fragrance of cowslips and hedge roses. Tbe poetical custom was prevalent in Evelyn's day. He tella us in his notes to Gibbon's edition of Camden that "at Ockley there is a certain custom observed time out of mind, of planting rose trees upon the graves, especially by the young men and maids who have lost their loves, so that this church-yard is now full of them."

The simple church, at tho eastern corner of tbe green, was unpretentious ia style, and the dates of sonic of tho inner mem orial tablet! told silently of persons who had, two centuries ugo, walked tbe gre.u. On one of the no.-t modest of these appeared the namo of Jane Scott, the benevolent governess. Ockley has produced a few sturdy bats man, and many a noteworthy game ot cricket has been played on Ockley Green.

Whatever changes in tho Green and its surroundings may be brought about in the coarse of time, two memorials will long remain in memory of the modest aim pure minded Jane Scott, namely, the well in the centre of the green, with its ever springing pure water, which the poor people of Ock ley f»Uy appreciate, and Jane Scott's school, with 1(3 flower-encircled porch, over which is carved the generous donor's simple name—"'i he benevolent bequest of Jane Scott, 1837." These durable gifts, with their perpetual blessings to the poor, are not likely soon to be for gotten, for they are linked with a gentle memory and a pious heart. Jane Scott, it is believed, was a Scotch woman, but whether of patrician or plebeian blood, Ockley knows not. Many years have passed with the restless stream of time, since Jane Scott first set foot on the vilbg green and entered Elderslie House—the home of a branch of the Arbuthnots—as family governes?. I conld gather but few facts about the person and life of the unas suming teacher. "God bless Jane Scott, peace to her memory, her well is a great blessing to us," said a peasant's wife who was in the act of drawing wator from the well. Jane Scott was a single woman of middle height, with a pale, thoughtful countenance, a woman of unshowy exterior, who evidently felt but little regard tor the fashion of the hour. She must bave been a person of good education, and was a reader of books, and particularly fond of her Bible. She was rarely absent from her accustomed seat in her church. Her religion was in harmony with her general demeanour; silent and unostentatious, and yet active in beneficence, doing good by stealth without regard to the censure or praise ot the outer world, She believed tbat true religion is something more than mere belief in doctrine and the observation of rites and ceremonies. It was not sufficient, in her view, to profess the true faith without prayerful and natural efforts to realise its divine principles, as Christ did, in daily action; 'hence Jane Scott's prayer was " Lord, what wilt thou have mc to do ?" and many small acts of mercy were performed in many a lowly cottage by the Ockley governess which will never be publicly known. Jane Scott was of a frugal and industrious dis position, who considered it a sin to waste even the smallest coin of the realm. Hence, in the course of years, she accumulated six or seven hundred pounds. She had out lived her relations, and was apparently alone in tbe world. She watched the social habits of tbe villagers, and, to her bene volent mind, there appeared amongst them much of ignorance, and_ a want of water for purifying and domestic purposes. She was convinced tbat suffering, and disease, and death often result fnm a deficiency of the health-giving stream. She knew that the flowers upon which she looked with a poet's love would soon lan guish and die, were it not for the revivify ing evening dews and refreshing rains, and ia like manner the human flowers of lowly life would droop without the kindly aid of sanitary influence. ** I will save a little money," sighed the poor governess. " 1 shall not live long, and when it -hall please God to call me my savings may help to obviate the physical and religious wants of the villagers, and may example others who are wealthier to kindred aots of kindness." Jane Scott the governess died, and she bequeathed £500 to the parish for

the purposes of making a well.and erecting a school for tho children on tho Village Green, hence the lines of Miss Parkes :—

'• No vain bequest of wealth thou nav'st, What labour en.nod to labour given* Broag-t hdalth to many a tolling frame Aud lit Uo Bonis to heaven."

Jane Soott wan buried in Ockley Church yard, under blossoming daisies. Her grave —peaceful as ber life—is held sacred by the humble recipients of ber charities, and is still green, with tbe smile of God upon it.

Singular Murder Trial.

The trial at Porpignan, of the Abbe Auriol, which bas just resulted iv tho sen teuce of tbe accused to pooal servitude for life, reveals an extraordinary . picture of depravity. At first the eiw-o assumed the form of a simplo charge of impropriety of Conduct, Auriol having been detected iv certain familnritios with bis mistress, rtlcxiwidiine Veruet, with whom he was travelling by railway, in the direction of tho Sp-iuish frouiier. His sacerdotal func tions und identity having neon discuvored, in spite of tbo false whi»kor« and the civil attiru which he hud assumed, au in quiry win instituted, and it was found that tlio inhabitants uf thu little parish of No hedes, of which ho was the ciuo, bad already commenced nn investigation into gmver matters in wliieh be had been in volved, -.mini's relations with the woman Vetnct. who was the pi mil (or rather com munal) schoolmistress, had already at tracted s.mo attention, insomuch that she had beou induced to exchaugo her post for that of schojl-mistress in a village at sonic distance, Aiuiol hid, however, still found means by tho aid of his di-cuiso to obtain clandestine interviews with her in tho neighbouring town of Iradcs, besides maintaining a corrc-pon denco with ber which was cirried ou in cypher. Aocodtug to hi. own admission* before tho judges of the Criminal Court, he had originally obtained ascendancy over" Mdlle. Vernct by showing ber a pretended canonical dispensation of his marria.e with her, which he bad forged for the purpo. c ; but, after the wvolatioo of the fraud, she appen-3 tn have cousontorl to become liis mistress. Having finally determined toefope with her, Auriol, according to bis own confession, conceived tho idea of ob taining funds for the purpose by poisoning two unmarried ladies (Marie and llo.c Fonda), living in Nchedes, described as "pious pcrs'uis," over whom he possessed sufficient inllucnoa to induco them to bequeath to him the whole of tbeir little property. Mario Funda, who was 48yoiira of age, and was the elder of tho two, died on July IS last year very suddenly, about half an hour after taking a certain potion which Auriol had prepared and ad ministered to her, no medical man having been called in hy him from lirst to last. Though the circumstances of h~r death wero something more tban suspicious, they do not appear to have excited the least suspicion iv the mind of hor younger sister, who. being "entirely under the influence of the cure," was induced shortly afterwards by him to take up her abode at his house. Only ono month aftor hor sister's death nose Funda, at the pressing instance of Auriol, attended before a pub] c notary at Perpiguan, where she in like manner m-ide a will constituting the abbe ber universal legatee. Only n fortniuhi i a r cr —that is, on August 30—this second victim, having partaken of dtink adminis t-her by Auiiol, died also very sud denly, with ail tlie symptoms of suffering from an irritant poison, -.otwithstiiridtng these stiange circumstances, however, no ft'-ps were taken towards an inquiry until three weeks after the last murder. -Miriol when arrested was in the act of flight, having tbat same morning realised the wbcle of their property, which enabled him to take with him a sum of 11,1.61 francs. Tho accused, who is described as a tall, robust man, 2S years of age, with a round face, a fresh colour, and bright eyes, seems to have lo3t self-possession under the preliminary private examinations, nnd in despair at the contradictions in which his replies hud involved him, he made a volun tary confession of his c:imes. He after wards stated that Maria Funda was poisoned by him with white hellebore, pre pared from the herb common in tbat coun try, and her unfortunate sister Rose with prussic acid, n quantity of which was found in a bottle in the portmanteau with which he was travelling when arrested, Ibe post mortem cxaniinition failed to discover traces of joison in either of the bodies, which had been exhumed fur thn purpose; but the medical testimony was to the effect that thero wa», under tho circumstancrs, nothing remarkable in the fact tbat the poisonß mentioned leit no trace, The accused, however, emboldened apparently by this circumstance, withdrew his confession, and declared that he had accused himself of imaginary crimes by way of a sort of expiation. He also denied the alleged impropriety of his relations with Alexandrine Vernet, and declared that be had been the victim of the calumnies of Hadical and Republican enemies in his nc'ghbourbocd. The evidences of the witnesses, however, established beyond doutt both the faot of the murders and of the cruel deliberation with which they were carried out, besides which a note in cypher, in .Auriol'a hand, was produced, in which, addressing his mistress nt the time of one of the murders, he wrote—" My Beloved,—Will made. She his been taken ill since. All going well." Beyond this nothing transpired to show whether his mistress was cognisant of Irs crimes. Immediately after his arrest she disap peared, and is stated to bave entered a convent. Other accounts, how ever, affirm that she is now in Spain ; and all that i 3 really known is that, having signified a desire to enter a convent, she was hurriedly taken to Toulouse by the Alban Dariea, cure of -^t. Vincent at Car cassone. Tbe witness was sharply reproved by the President of the Court for thus aid ing a young woman to leave the paternal roof nnd abscond under such circumstances, the President adding that such incidents were "of too common occurrence."—Lon don "Daily News."

An Elephant's Revenge.

AT the inquest on the body of Charles Hughes, who was killed by ao elephant at the Alexandra Palace in London, some strange disclosures as to the revengeful toature of the elephant were made. About 13 years ago a groom put one. of her eyes out, and the man was dismissed. After ward the elephant lost the sight of the other eye. Two years later, at Brighton, the same groom came into the stable, and, slapping the elephant on the-side, said; "This is the old brute that got me dis missed." On hearing the man's voice the elephant pushed him against the wall, and ever since the man had been icror .eyed from the hurt thus received. Eig-*J. months ago the deceased was a peddler in the show, and the elephaut put liis trunk into the basKet and ate up the contents. The man pulled out his penknife and stabbed the animal in the trunk ; so there was a prior ill-feeling between the deceased and the elephant. i

Two Scenes at the Tower.

It i« London in the reign of bluff King Hal—the husband of two fair wivts. The river is alive with boats; the air is white with smoko ; the sun overhead is burnbg with golden May. Thousands on thousands of fpectators dot the banks, for today a bride is coming home to the king the beauty of whose face suts old men's fancies and .ouiig men's .yes agog. On the wharf, near tbe Queen's Stair.stands a burly figure, nil beyond, omrnon mou ; broad in chest and strong iv limb ; dressed in a doublet of gold and crimson, a cap and plume, shoes with rosettes aod diamonds, a hanger by his side, a Georgo upou his broast. It is the king, surrounded by dukes and earls, awaiting the arrival of a barge, in the midst of blaring trumpets and exploding sakers. A procession sweeps along ; stealing up from Greenwich, with plashing oars and merry strains, fitly great boats, with a host of wherries on their flanks ; a vessel firing guns in front, and a long array ot cr.ilt behind, Emm the first large lands the lord mayor; from the neo-md trips the bride; from the rest stream out the picturesque city companies, Cannons roar, and bells ling out a weleomo to tho queen ; lor this is not simply a groat day in tho story of one lovely woman; bnt a treat day'ia tho story of English life. Now is the" morning time of a new eta; for ou this bJgbt Muy—

Tlio gospel light first shines from Iloleyn's eyes, nnd men go mad'with hopo of things which are yet to come. The kiug catches that fair young bride in his arms, kisses her soft chcok, aud bears her in through the Bye-ward Tower. The picture fades from view, and presently reappears. It is the same? The qneeu—the stair—the barge -the crowd of men—all these ate heic. Yet tho picture is not the same. .No burly Henry stands by the stair; no guns d-i'. b ibe sky; no blast of trumpets gie'ts tlio royal birge; no train of elder men and masters wait upon the queen, The lovely face looks older by a dozen years ; yet scarcely three have pa?..«cd since that fair form was clasped in tho arms, kissed, aud carried by the bridge. This time sbc is a prisoner, charged with h.viug dove such things as jieu cannot write ; things which would bo treason, not to her lord only, but to her womanhood, and to tbe King of kings. When she alights on ttio Queen's Stair, sbc turns to

--ir William Kiugsli-ii, Constable of ihe Tower, aud asks, "Must Igo into a dim goon?" "No, iiiadam," niys the constable ; "you will he in the same room whicU you occupied bifore." She falls on her knee.. "It is good for me." sbc cries; and then {weeps for a long time, lying on tbo cold stones, with all the people stand ing by iu'tcars. fcihc begs to bave a sacta ment in hor own room, tbat the may pray with a pure hoart: saying that sho is free from sin, and tbat sho is, and has always been, thejking's true wedded wife. "Shall 1 dio without justice?" she [inquires. "Madam," says Kingston, "tho poorest Buoject would have justice." Tho lady only laugbs a feeble laugh,

Keeping Boarders.

THE EXPEKIgNCK OK A VKTKBAN I,AKD-

L-.DY.

"Another boarding-bouse busted up, I see," sighed a venerable Detroit landlady,as she laid down her paper. " Well, it must have been extravagance on the table. That's what bankrupts seven out of ten, and then the boarders are crying out ' hash I' nod complaining ot poor meals. Now, l have run a boarding-uouse for twenty-two ycars,and I mado money and heard no com plaints. How did Ido it? Why, it's all in planning. For instance a neck-piece of mutton can be cut to look litcc a rib roast, and a little extra Ere makes it just as tcn dpr. Lawd save you 1 I've been compli mented a thousand times on my selection of choice spring lamb when the meat was mut ton four years old, and toughest part at that. The idea of spring chicken on a boarding-house table is absurd — ay 1 almost wicked, In my palmy days I could take a tough old ben, pound tbe body with apota;o masher for ten minutes, and set before my boarders a feast to make every heart glad. Now I'll venture that there aron't ten landladies in tbe city tbat can take a pig's head and slice oil' the meat iv a manner to make everybody believe he has the choicest cut in a pig's body ; and it's a wonder to me tbat there ain't more failures. Lots of landladies buy nice fresh butter,and thus tempt a man to eat five or _ix biscuits or half a loaf of bread. What economy ! I always bad my nice butter on the table at breakfast, when wc had little but toast,and the boarders got along on old butter the other two meals. It is all in the planning —in the planning. I used to have beef steak every morning. Three mornings in tho week I bought sirloin, which is very nice.you know,and the other four mornings I bought neck-pieces and rubbed the case knives over the grindstone. Give a boarder a sharp knife and a tough steak and he'll never mako a complaint—never. He'll put tbe blame on his teeth, and the more steak be leaves on his plate the moro rabbit pie you bave for dinner."

A. Convict's Desperate Scheme.

Lincoln, Neb., July 26th.—A gigantic scheme to effect a wholesale escape of con victs from the Nebraska Penitentiary was nipped in the bud last night by_ Warden Nobes. The principal in the affair was one Schuyler of Gumming county, Neb., serving a term of fifteen years for murder. By the work of several months he had manufac tured duplicate shackle keys, and had s cured otlior keys and a long thin knife, and otherwise thoroughly prepared himself for dangerous and bloody Work. Into bis plans were several of the most dangerous inmite:s of the Pcivtont'aiy. His scheme was to get himself in tho dungeon late at night for s unc violation of tbe prison rules, ana while on the way there kill tbe guard, exchange clothes with him, and then, rcpr.senting himself as the guard pass the turnkey, disembowel hni with the lorn: knife, and by use of his keys liberate tbe dozen or so convicts in the secret if tbe scheme. By tbe treachery of one of tbe latter to the leader of the movement, the Warden was informed of what was about to take place, and he at once put the wretch iv irons. A lot of well-made tools were found in his cell, showing him to be a very ingenious man. The Warden declares this to have been a narrow escape for the officers of tho prison, for had tbe man suc ceeded in keeping the scheme quiet until the night appointed for the escape every officer of the prison might have been murdered.and awholesale release of convicts effected,—" Chisago Tribune."

Twenty-three converts have recently been received into the mission church at Sidon, in Syria. Sidon has'none of the glory it possessed when in the olden time it was the great Phoenician seaport; but the mission is looking up and enjoying a hopeful degree of prosperity,
