A FAMILY MAN'S TROUBLES.
Mr. Jasper Throckmorton, who lives out
on Summer street, is the father of ten children.
Yesterday morning Mr. Throckmorton
was at the point of putting on his hat
to start for the office, when Mrs. Throckmorton
called after him from the kitchen :
"Stop at Stodder's and tell him to come up
and fix the water pipe, and get a big tin dipper
and bring it with you this noon. Don't
tell them to send it; they'll forget it."
Mr. Throckmorton said he would, and then
put on his coat and started. As he reached
the front door his eldest daughter shouted
from up stairs:
"Pa! pall pall! Go to Greenbaum &
Schroder's and ask Mr. Scott to give you
two yards and a half of brown satin, cut on
the bias, to match the dress I got last week ;
he'll know the kind. Bring it with you. I
don't want to wait for it."
And Mr. Throckmorton, paused with his
hand on the door, said he would get it, and
then sighed and opened the door. Just then
his eldest son shouted from the sitting room:
"Father, the man was up here twice jesterday
for the money for my new coat, and I
just gave him a note to yon and he'll call at
the office to-day for his money, and will give
you a pair of patent oar-locks and a dip net.
Bring them up with you when you come to
dinner."
Mr. Throckmorton kind of stifled a groan
like, and saying he would attend to it, went
on. As he passed down the porch steps his
second daughter leaned out of a window and
cried:
"Oh! pa, do stop at Parson's as you come to
dinner and tell him to send a man to lay
down the hall carpet when they send it up,
and yon get ten pounds of cotton batting and
bring it up with you, for we want it right
away, and can't wait."
The parent paused with his band on the
gate latch, and with visible effort promised
to remember the errand and bring up the
cotton batting, and opened the gate. But
the voice of his younger son from the side
yard caught his ear and held him for a mo
ment.
"Pap, oh! pap. Want ten cents to pay for
a winder I broke in the school-house, and I
can't go to Sunday school till I get a new hat
and some shoes ; and please can't I have a
quarter to go to the pic-nic ?"
Mr. Throckmorton silently registered a flogging
for the broken glass, a negative for the
pic-nic, and said he would get the shoes and
hat. Then he turned to go, but as he turned
to pass down the street six younger children
came running after him.
"Oh ! pa, don't forget to stop and see if the
old umbrella's fixed, ma says."
"Stop at at the dentist's, and see when he
can fix my teeth."
"Bring my shoes home from the shoemaker's."
"Ma says be sure to tell the doctor to come
up to-day and vaccinate the baby."
"Pap! Kin I goswimmin in the Hawkeye
creek."
"Pap, gimme five cents to ride on the street
cars ?"
And Mr. Throckmorton went down town
and amazed Fred Scott by telling him to cut
off about thirteen feet of water pipe on the
bias, and he asked Mr. Parsons to let him
have eleven skeins of cotton batting and send
him up a man with a tin dipper; he told Dr.
Cochran, the dentist to come right up and fill
the baby's teeth, and begged the doctor to
hurry right away and put a half sole on the
school-house window, and then he ran to the
shoemaker's and asked him if he had vaccinated
his little girl's shoe, and amazed a street
car driver by asking for a bath ticket, and
when the man came around with oar-locks
and dip net, he told him to take tbem up and
lay them in the front hall, the girls would
show him where. And by three o'clock in
the afternoon it had got all around town that
old Mr. Throckmorton had been drinking as
bad as ever again, and hadn't drawn a sober
breath all day.?Burlington Hawkeye.

The Deacon Answered.?Up in New
Hampshire where i used to live wneu a uoy,
(says Gov. Noyes) there was a loud praying
old hypocrite, a deal more pious than honest.
When he had done any particularly
mean thing, he eased his conscience by going
into the field, along one side of which was a
stone wall, and kneeling beside it, prayed the
Lord to topple it over ou him if he had done
anything offensive to Him or wrong in His
sight. Well, we boys found it out, and one
day when we saw the deacon making for the
stone wall, we got on the other side and waited.
He kuelt down according to his usual
custom, and went through his usual formula,
closing with the petition to have the wall toppled
over if he had done any thing wrong.
Aud we toppled it. Jumping out from under
the stones, the old man cried, in tones of
mingled disgust and alarm?
"Good gracious, Lord! Can't you tell
when a man is joking?"

A MILE APIECE.?iYir. .uesier saiu iuhi
when he was a boy ten or twelve years of age,
he was one day standing in Market Square
with bis granfather, when four Irishmen came
up. One of them asked the distance to Pawtucket.
He was told by the old gentleman
that it was about four miles. "Well, faith,"
said Pat, in mock tone of encouragement to
his three tired companions, "that's not bad at
all?only a mile apiece for us." "Whom do
you want to see in Pawtucket?" inquired Mr.
Lester, senior. "Bejabers," was the quick reply,
"I want to see meself there most of any
body."
? ? ^
That Door.?A rheumatic old gentleman,
whose son was careless about shutting the
front door after him, called out to him one
cold day, when he had left the door swinging
wide, "See here, young man, you leave that
door open too much!" "Do I?" was the response
; "then how much open shall I leave
it ?" "I mean you leave it open too often!"
thundered the old gentleman. "0! well, bow
often shall I leave it open?" politely inquired
the son. The father did Dot dare trust himself
to reply.
Scarce.?The children of a clergyman's
family, in Aberdeen, were making themselves
happy propounding conundrums. Finally one
of them said, "Who was the meekest woman ?"
The clergyman seemed struck with a fresh
thought, and replied, quickly, "We don't
read of any." But madam made herself even
with him when she rejoined, with quite as
much quickness, "Well, we read of only one
such man, and, from the fuss that's made
about him, it's plain they're scarce."
Bray A man who seemed to be in gieat
trouble among a crowd of passengers at '.he
Grand Central depot the other day, was ar.ked
what was the matter by an officer. "I can't
find ray wife," said the man, excitedly.

worry!" exclaimed the distraught strauger.
"How can I help worrying ? She's got the
pocket-book 1"
Naming the Baby.?It is sometimes a
work of several weeks "to name the baby
but here is a case where the right word was
gotten without even trying. A youug lady
in Woodstock had her Christian name suggested
by an exclamation of her graudmother,
who, after adjusting her spectacles, to view
for the first time the features of the new-born
baby, exclaimed, "I declare I" The child
was christened, "Ida Clair"

mother for some to eat with his bread and
butter. She refuses. He appears resigned,
but adds, gravely: "You know, mamma,
what happened round the corner? There
was a little boy, and his mother would not
give him any sugar on his bread and butter,
and?and?and the next day he fell into a

A Remedy for Burns and Scalds.?At
a recent meeting of the Massachusetts Dental
Society in Salem, Dr. G. F. Waters, of Boston,
gave a detailed account of a discovery
which he has recently made of a remedy for
burns and scalds. It was claimed that the
application of bicarbonate of soda, which is
the simple cooking soda to be found in all
households, or other alkalies in a neutral form,
would afford instantaneous cessation of pain
from the severest burns and scalds, and that
in all cases of mere superficial burning, the
treatment would effect a cure in the course of
a few hours.
At the meeting referred to, the practical
wftlno nf the remedy was demonstrated bv a
test requiriog considerable nerve to put it into
operation, and still more faith in the efficacy
of the novel treatment which was to be illustrated.
The doctor dipped the sponge into
boiling water and squeezed it over his right
wrist, the water flowing almost completely
around the right arm, and nearly encircling
it with a severe scald something like two inches
in width. Not content with this, he dipped
the sponge, a second time, and pressed it
closely on the under side of the wrist, for thirty
seconds. He then applied bicarbonate of
9oda to the scalded surface, and laid over it a
wet cloth, and the intense pain was banished
as if by magic. On the next day after this
severe test, the scald, with the exception of
the part purposely made most severe, was
practically healed, only a slight discoloration
of the skin showing where the scalding water
had flowed?this, too, without a second application
of the soda. The flesh on the side of
the wrist had been cooked down to the sweatglands,
and the scald was one which ordinarily
would have caused an open and painful
wound of long duration. The only treatment
of this, however, after the first application of
the soda, was to keep the part moist with a
wet cloth, and no pain was experienced, and
it was but a few days before this severe wound
was seen to be rapidly healing.
?.
Simple Cure for Dyspepsia.?Milk and
lime-water are now frequently prescribed by
physicians in cases of dyspepsia and weakness
of the stomach, and in some cases are
said to prove beneficial. Many persons who
think good bread and milk a great luxury,
frequently hesitate to eat it tor the reason
that the milk will not digest readily; sourness
of the stomach will often follow. But experience
proves that lime-water and milk are
not only food and medicine at an early period
of life, but also at a later, when, as in the
case of infants, the functions of digestion and
assimilation have been seriously impaired. A
stomach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper
food, inflamed by alcohol, enfeebled
by disease, or otherwise unfitted for its du
ties?as is shown by the various symptoms
attendant upon indigestion, diarrhoea, dyspepsia,
dysentery and fever?will resume its
work, and do it energetically, on an exclusive
diet of bread and milk and lime-water. A
goblet of cow's milk may have four table
spoonfuls of lime-water added to it with good
effect. The way to make lime-water is simply
to procure a few lumps of unslaked lime,
put the lime in a stone jar, add water until
the lime is slaked and of about the consistency
of thin cream ; the lime settles, leaving
the pure and clear lime-water at the top.
Great care should be taken not to get the
lime-water too strong. Keep to the direction
as to the consistency, and when the water
rises, pour it off without obtaining any of the
lime. The lime-water is also very good to
apply to burns and scalds. In slaking the
lime, particular care should be taken that
none of the particles fly into the eyes.?New

Cold Feet.?Cold feet usually result from
unequal circulation. People of active minds

Will geueiBlljr UUU ICIICI UJ VTCOllllg, ail tiuioc,
during their mental tasks, a linen or cotton
skull cap, frequently wrung out in cold water.
The brain is thus cooled, and the blood sent
more naturally to the extremeties.
A brilliant New York minister was compelled
to write his sermons with his feet in a hot
bath. A prominent hydropathist advised the
wet head-cap, and it worked like a charm, enabling
him to dispense with the iuconvenient
tub of water.
The feet should be washed in tepid water
every day or two, but not in water so hot as
to make them tender. In concluding the
bath, dip them into quite cold water, which
closes the pores naturally, and then wipe and
rub them entirely dry and warm. When
your feet are cold, stop and warm them. No
business at the desk, the counter, the bench?
no domestic task or conventional circumstances?is
of so grave importance as to
warm one's feet when they are cold. You
can't afford the hazard to health incurred by
indifference to the discomfort nature is giving
you as a premonition, of danger. Keep your
feet dry. If, by accident, you wet your feet,
I don't be foolish and sit till death-damp steals
your vitals. Exercise common sense and remove
the wet stockings. If chilly, take a
warm foot-bath, ending with the cold dip
and rubbing dry. If, in a judicious way, people
would wet their feet oftener?clean up to
their ears?it would be better for their health.
Cure for Wounds.?As soon as a wound
is inflicted get a little stick?a knife or file
handle will do?and commence to tap gently
on the wound. Do not stop for the hurt, but
continue till it bleeds freely, and becomes perfectly
numb. When this point is reached you
are safe?all that is necessary is to protect it
from the dirt. Do not stop short of the bleeding
and numbness, and do not on any account
close the opening with a plaster. Nothing
more than a little simple cerate on a clean
- a j j
cloth is necessary. >y e nave usea aim seen
this used on all kinds of simple punctures for
thirty years, and never knew a single instance
of a wound becoming inflamed or sore after
treatment as above. Among other cases : A
coal-rake tooth going entirely through the
foot, a bad bite by a suckiug pig, several instances
of file shanks through the hands, and
numberless cases of rusty nails, awls, etc., but
we never knew a failure of this treatment.?

Charcoal for Poultry.?Charcoal is so
necessary to the healthy condition of fowls,
that not to provide it for them is to open the
; way for the appearance of cholera among your
| flocks. The Germantown Telegraph says: "If
any one will put an ear ot ripe corn into tne
fire until the grains are well charred, and then
shell off the corn and throw it to his flock, he
will see an eagerness developed and a healthy
condition brought about which will make a
decided improvement. All pale combs will
become a bright red, that busy song which
precedes a laying will be heard, and the average
yield of eggs will be greatly increased. It
; is no trouble and may afford you and your
' flocks the largest amount of good."
Improved Starch.?A beautiful finish
j can, it is said, be given to articles to be starch;
ed by taking one-fourth of a pound of starch
and working it over and kneading it with a
, little water, then placing five or six pints of
| water in a pan and adding to this a very
' small quantity of powdered borax, a small
' piece of sugar and a fragment of white wax
[ about the size of a hazel nut, and heating the
whole sufficiently, mis water is uieu to uk
added to the starch, stirring it continually
and mixing#the two together until the whole
is as thick as convenient for application. If
! the articles are to be made quite stiff, the
! strength of the starch may be increased two
. or three-fold.
Shelter.?It is absolutely necessary that
animals should be sheltered from damp and
' cold. The reason why pigs or other animals
I do not fatten so readily in cold weather as in
j the warmer months is, that the food is largely
used iu keeping up the vital heat, which is
i now given off in excess and lost. If this loss
is prevented, animals will fatten iu winter as

THE BURIAL OF MOSES.
And he buried him in a valley in the land
of Moab, over against Bethpeor; but no man

Deut. xxxiv : 6.
By Nebo's lonely mountain
On this side Jordan's wave,
In the vale in the land of Moab
There lies a lonely grave ;
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man saw it e'er,
For the angels of God upturned the sod;
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
But no man heard the trampling

Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on the ocean's cheek
Grows into the brilliant sun.
Noiselessly as the spring time
Her crown of vordure weaves,
And all the trees on all the hills,
Open their thousand leaves;
So, without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept,
Silently down from the mountain's crown
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On grey Bethpeor's height,
Out of his rocky eyrie
Looked on the wondrous sight.
Perchance the lion stalking
Still shuns that hallowed spot;
For beasts and birds have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not?
But when the warrior dieth,
His comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled drum,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his champing steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest in the land
Men lay the sage to rest,
And irive the bard an honor'd nlace
With costly marble dressed,
In the great minster transept,
Where lights like glories fall,
And the sweet choir sings, and the organ rings,
Along the emblazoned wall?
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword?
This was the most gifted poet
That ever breath'd a word; ?
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pen
On the deathless page truths half so sage
As he wrote down for men.
And had ho not high honor?
The hill side for nis pall,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall;
And the rocking pines, like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave,
And God's own hand, in that lonely land,
To lay him in the grave.

In that deep grave without a name,

Shall break again, most wondrous thought,
Before the judgment day;
And stand with glory wrapped around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won onr life
With the Incarnate Son of God.
O lonely tomb in Moab's land,
0 dark Bethpeor's hill,
Speak to these curious hearts of ours,
And te ich them to be still.
God hath his mysteries of grace,
Ways that we cannot tell;
He hi'des them deep like the secret sleep
Of him he loved so well.

SELF-CONFIDENCE.
In many of the secular departments and
avocations of life, a certain amount of selfconfidence
is necessary. In religion, the thing
is totally different. In order to succeed in
any of the avocations of life, we must possess
some confidence in our own abilities. It is,
however, not very difficult, even in worldly
affairs, for an individual to be too self-confident.
In religion, the smallest amount of
self-reliance iB ruinous. The moment we con?
S .1 . . . ,
elude tnat we are proor against temptation,
we give convincing evidence that we have
both been tempted and have been overcome
by temptation. Whenever we conclude in
our minds that we are eminently pious, it is
a fearful proof that the enemy of all good
has full control of our hearts.
Self-righteous Pharisees are farther from
the kingdom of heaven, than sin-burdened
publicans. Generally, those who have least
piety, make the greatest boast of their religion.
The life of every Christian is a life of
faith. Self-confidence is the very opposite of
faith. The life of the child of God is one of
continual dependence. In Christ he lives, in
Christ he moves, and in Christ is all his being.
In Christ he expects to find an atonement
which will take away the guilt of sin ;
in Christ he expects to find a justifying righteousness,
aud in Christ he expects to find
preserving and sanctifying grace.
TIL - i -c i L : _L I_:J
l no bcrierue ui reuempuuu which is jbiu
down in the Soriptures, permits no place for
self-confidence and excludes boasting. The
only thing in which the believer boasts is in
the Lord, and all that he glories in is the
cross of Christ.
Religious Duty.?Many persons have an
idea that they are free from religious duties
uutil they agree to be bound by them. They
think that attendance upon worship, the support
of the church, the avoidance of unprofitable
amusements, and the maintenance of
high Christian character may be binding upon
the acknowledged Christian, but they do not
apply to the irreligious man, especially the
avowed skeptic.
But moral obligation is not created by contract,
nor does it depend upon belief. It requires
no contract to bring a man within the
range of God's physical laws. Disregard of
the laws of health is punished, irrespective of
the ignorance or disbelief of him who disregards
them. Strychnine would kill, even
though the victim did not believe in the power
of poisou or the fact, of death ; and so of the
civil laws. It requires no contract to obligate
a man to obey the laws of the State. He may
be ignorant of those laws ; he may refuse to
nUi, them to mnv Honv their ovigtonoo vet
\jyivj J , j
they bind him, and for their violation he is
justly punished. And so of the moral laws ;
it requires no contract to bring man under
their authority. By the very nature of his
being he is under authority.
There can be no evasion of the laws by
which God carries on His moral government.
They must be obeyed or disobeyed. Among
those laws are the duties pertaining to the
Church of Christ. That church is a most important
part of that moral government. Indeed,
it is, on earth, the very embodiment of
that moral government. It is the duty of every
one to whom that church is presented, to
enter it, to sustain it, and to be conformed in
i i -i a L:
conduct ana cnaraoier iu its leaunuigo. ?uuu
of these duties is binding; and the non-performance
of the first?that of entering the
church?by no means lesseus the obligations
of the others; nor does disregard of them all
either change their nature or diminish their
force. The divine law, which lays these duties
upon every one, is an eternal fact; and
neither its existence nor its power is in any
way affected by men's belief concerning it.?
Standard of the Cross.
Sudden Visitations op God.?Have not
all of us often seen men and women who,
though not embittered by a sudden visitation
of God, have still been undone by it; have '
lost all hope, all spiritual ambition, and have j
given over all struggle for better things in despair?
God has come ioto a househeld and i
taken from a mother's arms a little one whose
I presence transfigured her life. That child !
made the world more blessed. But suddenly j
God called it to himself. Do I describe an j
! unusual case when I say that the affliction ;
has not embittered her, has not made her
skeptical ? But the light of her life is gone, J
and she lives henceforth in the past alone. ]
She is fitted for no service ; she is a burden
j to herself; she finds no joy in the relief of
others ; she strives no longer after higher life.!
All is gone in the sudden transition from hap- '
i piuess to grief which God appointed. But I j
t will not add examples. The subject is one of
! which every day and every condition of life is
full of illustration. My one endeavor has
j been to place clearly before you this solemn i
; fact and the dangers to your souls in these J
I violent changes.?Rev. John Dewitl.

THE ESCAPE.
A FAM0U8 RIDE FROM NEW YORK TO KINGSTON.
The writer sat in a well known saloon, eating
delicious salad and sweltering over a cup
of hot tea, when the proprietor stepped up.
"The boys have a nice day for their excursion
to Kingston," said be.
j "They have, indeed. Ever been there ?"
"Yes, I took a couple of bank robbers down
there about twenty-five or thirty veare ago."
"Indeed 1"
"Yes, sir. Never told you about that affair,
did I ?"
"No."
"Well, I will. It was?let me see?in 1840.
I was working at the Old Eagle tavern;
had a couple of fine horses, and for a young
man wan rininp a fine husiness. Those davs
there was neither railroads nor telegraphs ; the
stage coach was the only mode of public travel,
and it was the event of the day to see
coaches from the West and New York bustle
into the tavern yard. You know where the
tavern stood, don't you ?"
"N-no, I think not."
"Corner of Broadway and Hamilton.
Well, one cold morning in the middle of December,
I was just stepping out from the office
to the long wooden verandah, when I noticed
two well-dressed gentlemen, each carrying a
good sized traveling satchel, hurrying to
ward the hotel. One of them addressing me,
said
"Stage for New York gone yet ?"
"Yes, eir.""How,
long?"'
Morn'n two hours ago."
"They were much excited over the news,
and asked what they could do to get to New
York speedily. I told them I didn't know.
The boats had stopped running a month, &!
though one of them still ran to Kingston, the
river being open that far up. She would
leave that evening for New York, and the
stage coach which left Albany a couple of
hours before would transfer its passengers
and mails to the steamer at Kingston. Point.
Then the gentlemen said they must get that
boat, and asked if I knew of a couple of
fast horses in the city, and if they could hire
or get a carriage to beat the stage in. It
was a matter of life and death, they said, and
they would pay any price. I asked what
price; and they told me they wonld pay
8600 to beat the stage to Kingston. It
was a big sum, and I whistled, but I told
them I'd take tbem ; and off I ran I
found a friend of mine?Hank Lewis?we
hitched up the horses to a four seated sleigh;
the two gentlemen bought some whisky, and
away we went 'helter split' for Kingston. Lord,
how we did go! Two hours behind the stage,
and yet before we reached Athens we passed
it. Near Catskill the horses gave out completely,
and we had to hire a new team. I
didn't want to go any further on account of
the horses, but one of the gentlemen asked,
"what is that team of yours worth ?" "Three
hundred dollars," I said. "Drive on," he an
swered, "I'll pay for it." Once we tipped
over, and half an hour was spent in getting to
rights. Then we went at it again, and at
half-past 4 we drove up to Kingston Point,
where the steamer lay all loaded, but waiting
for the Albany mail.
The two gentlemen went on board and asked
for Captain Dean. He came aft and they
told him what they told Lewis and I, coming
down. How they resided in Canada, but
were the sons of an English nobleman, who
had recently died, leaving a valuahle estate.
Their presence was needed immediately in
London if they would save the estate from a
designing relative. The packet sailed from
New York for Liverpool on the first tide the
next morning. They must get it or wait thirty
days for the next ship, and so lose their
fortune. They offered the captain S2.000 if
he would leave then and there and make certain
of catching the ship.
"I would like to make that $2,000 gentlemen,"
said Captain Dean, "but my orders are
not to leave till I get the Albany mail, and I
cannot assent"
They seemed much disappointed, but said :
"It couldn't be expected," and then they
made themselves agreeable to everybody
about. They paid me the 8600 promised,
gave me $300 for the lost horses, and gave
my driver and the men over $100 each. We
waited until the stage came in ; the mails and
passengers were transferred ; away went the
boat in a hurry. Then we rode Jeisnrely back
to Albany, it being a fine night, but before we
got there we met the mounted police furiously
coming after our passengers, the dead nobleman's
bogus sons. They were bank robbers,
and those two satchels they had contained
over $200,000 in gold and Bank of England
notes, the proceeds of a big Montreal robbery.
"Did they catch them ?"
"Catch'em? No. When the boat started
that night they talked with Captain Dean and
offered him $500 if he would put them on
board of the outward bound ship before he
landed, as she would be lying in the channel.
Captain Dean accepted, and just at daylight
the steamer lay alongside the vessel, and hy
the time Captain Dean got to his pier and the
passengers awoke, the ship was sailing through
the narrows and away to England."
"And the robbers were never beard of?"
"Never. Why they had a start of thirty
days, and being young men then, they are
perhaps living in some European country on
their ill-gotten wealth. They were smart
enough to take us in by their smooth talk and
gentlemanly address.
Just then the salad was finished, and so
was the story. The writer picked up his check
and Mr. Veazle walked to another part of the
room tosee that his waiters were paying proper
attention to other hungry customers.
The story has the merit of being literally
true.?Albany (iV. Y.) Express.

dressed herself like a man, took the name of
Anthony Sparke, and went to the court of the
English Queen, carrying with her a brace of
pistols ; one for the Queen, and the other for
herself. But, as she was pressing through the
crowd to get near her Majesty, who was then
walking in her garden, she dropped one of
her pistols. This being seen by the guards,
she was seized, and brought before the Queen,
who wished to examine the prisoner herself.
When Elizabeth demanded her name, country,
and condition, Margaret replied with
great firmness:?
"Madam, though I appear in this habit, I
am a woman ; ray name is Margare* Lambrun
; I was several years in the service of
Queen Mary, whom you have so unjustly put
to death; you have also caused that of my
husband, who died of grief to see so innocent
a Queen Derish so iniauitously. Now, as I
~ V I a had
the greatest love and affection for both
these personages, I resolved, at the peril of
ray life, to revenge their death by killing you,
who are the cause of both. I confess to you,
that I suffered many struggles within ray
breast, and have made all possible efforts to
divert my resolution from so pernicious a design,
but all in vaiti; I found myself neces
sitated to prove by experience the certain I
truth of that maxim, that neither reason nor {
force can hinder a woman from vengeance,
when she is impelled thereto by love."
The Queen heard this bold address with !
composure, and answered calmly :?"You are
theu persuaded that, in this action, you have
done your duty, and satisfied the demands I
which your love for your mistress and your J
spouse indispensably required from you; but
what think you it is my duty to do to you?'
Margaret replied, with ine same unraoveu
hardiness: "I will tell you frankly ray opinion,
provided you will let me know whether
you put this question in the quality of a
Queen or in that of a judge?"
To which her Majesty replied : "That of a
Queen."
"Then," said Margaret, "your Majesty
ought to grant me a pardon."
"But what assurance can you give me,"
said the Queen, "that you will not make the
like attempt on Bome other occasion V'
"Madam," replied Lambrun, "a favor given
under snch a restraint is no mere a favor;
and, in so doing, your Majesty would act
against me as a judge."
The Queen turned to some of her council
and said, "I have been thirty years a Queen, (
but do not remember to have had such a lecture
ever read to me beforeand immediately
granted an entire and unconditional
pardon. Margaret Lambrun showed her prudence
by begging the Queen to extend her
generosity still farther, and grant her a safe ,
conduct to the coast of France ; with which
request Elizabeth complied.
Too Many Zeb Vances.?Among the
large number of letters received at the executive
office yesterday, was one from a young
hopeful from a western county who, as stated
in his letter, was 14 years, 6 months and 8
days old, addressed to the Governor and signed i
"Zeb Vance." "I am informed," said he, 1
"that you are giving a premium of $5 in cash

to bis young namesake, tbat he bad been
incorrectly informed as to the $5 and chromo,
but enclosed a neat little keepsake that will
doubtless be highly appreciated by the youth- 1

Zeb Vances in the State that there is no truth
in the report. To send each Zeb Vance in !
