Willie O. Miller will trouble neither

two years. Willie it) a bad boy. lie
early formed a habit of playing
hookey,- and be never changed it.
This he varied by running away from
liooie, until finally his case was
drawn to the attention of the authori
ties. The authorities were .inclined
to be lenient. They gave Willie a
ebanoe. Willie looked hopeful, but
that was about all. Then he was
charged with petty laroeny, and was
placed on probation. He forgot to
report to the probation officer, and he
remembered that it was about time
to mn away again. >So he went to
San Francisco, and was brought back.

How "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
Came to Be Written.
It was In Mm year 1850, when tbe
whole country was Id n blaze of ex
oltetuent over Mr Webster's sevcnth
of-Mnrch speech nnd the Fugitive
Slave Law, tbat Mra Stone joined
her ImalmiKl In lirutifuvick, Maine,
whom lie bnd acccepted a profesßor
ship in llowdoln College, lier brother
Ndwnrd wrs at tbla time the pastor
of a church in Hoston, and Mrs Hl.own
received frequent letters from him
and from his wife teeming with heart
rending iooldouta of unfortuuatca
fleeing tor Canada, and the won and
niiEory that bml oomo to rnanr a
negro home. In one of thoso letters
Mrs ISoeolu-r exuliiimed : "() llnttio!
Jf 1 could ouly write as you can 1
would write. something to make tbe
world feel what an awful soourge
slavery in I" Mrs Stowe's ohildreu
well remember bow she rose from ber
chair, crushing this letter in her
bund, and with tbe color mounting
to bur check exclaimed, "1 will I (Joa
help me, 1 will if.l livol"
Mrs Stowe's family bad removed to
Cincinnati when she was about
twenty years of aae, [and there she
had bad usual opportunities for ob
serving . tbe practical workings of
flavery as an institution.
At this time ber brother, Charles
Jieoohor, was in business in tbe city
uf New Orleans in a large commission
bouse wbloh bad frequent dealings
with tbe slave plantations. He also
kept a journal of bis observations and
experiences, (tils letters wore full] of
inoideuts bearing more or less re
motely on tbe practical influence of
slavery.
There was an actual Legree, whom
Mrs Stowe's brother Charles met on
tbe boat returning to bis Red River
plantation with a miserable gang of
slaves tbat be bad purchased in Mew
Orleans.
In 1839, while still >t Cincinnati,
Mrs Stowe received into ber Jain ily^tis
a servant a colored girl, who, accord
ing to tbe laws of tbe state of Ohio,
was free, as she bad been . brought
into tbe state and left by her mis
tress. Hearing tbat tbe girl's master
was in the city looking for her, and
that she was in danger of being seized
and carried back to slavery, Professor
Htowe and his brotber-in-law, Henry
beeober, both armed, drove with the
fugitive, une night to a lonely farm
house, from which she was speeded
on ber way toCsinada. It is from this
incident in real life tbat Mrs Htowe
wove the story of Eliza's escape from
Marks and Tom Loiter.
Uncle Tom was largely an ideal
character, .but tbe leading traits of
the composite portrait were drawn
from many conversations that Mrs
Stowe' bad with trembling fugitives,
who, on their way to Canada and
freedom, found in her house tood,
shelter, kind wordß, and pecuniary
aid.
Tbe first fourteen years of Mis
Stowe's married life were a dismal
struggle with ill fortune, ill health,
and poverty. As tbo seminary in
wbicb ber husband tbeu taught was
in financial straits Professor Ktovro'H
meager salaiy was very irregularly
paid. J I ib health, frail at tbe best,
broke down complotelyunder exaspei
ating and perplexing complications
connected with bis duties in tbe
seminary, and tbe effects ot tbe un
wonted climate. Certain nverzoulous
students tried to promote tbe cause of
bumunity uud abolition by ostentati
ously consorting with uegroen and
parudiiig tbe streets with young
colored women, thus at once showing
their contempt for all race prejudice
and awakening tbe wrath of the
Cincinnati mobs, tbat threatened to
go out to Walnut Hills, and burn
down the seminary buildings 'and
wreck the piofetsor's bouses. This
was tbe last straw for poor Mr Stuwti,
siiid, collapsed and despairing, he
bad to seek a water oure in tbe Kast.
Then oiiuiu an avvtul visitation of
cholera, and tbu death uf their
youngest child. In spile ot all, tbe
luavt* little mother wrote articles tor
tbe papers and magazines and
managed to feed and clothe her
cbildreu and write letters full ot hope
and cheer to hor poor, despairing sick
busbaud.
At lust klid borself win striokeu
down with a painful and dangerous
illuesi. JSut she oould still trust and
pray. And pray aba did bo fervently
mid with H'ioh faith that ber soul was
hum into a new aii'JJglorious experi
ence of (Jort's greutueas and love. In
1850 she joined ber luinlmud in Maiue.
After hor resolve was fcrmod
month* clasped before she was able to
carry out her intention ot writing
something to mako tho world realize
tbe borrorti of slavery. The writer
in obliged to confess that he was him
self the principal liindrauoe just at
tbat time. In December, lßuu.JMrs
Stowo wrote to Mru Edward lieeober'
"As long as tbe baby sleeps with
me nightri 1 can't do much at iiuy
tblug, but 1 will do it. 1 will write
that thiug if 1 Jive"
At luut tbe visiou oamel Kbe wus
in the little church in Uruuswlck
during tbe oonimuniou service. Tbe
sceuo of. I'nclt! Tom 'a death seemed
to pass baton/ ber wind like a picture
minted on great, rolling clouds. So
real, so vivid «ns it Hint the broke
down mid sobbed in uncontrollable
emotion. After returning tv ber
home she mote It out, and lier faua
band being absent she read It to ber
two little boys, respectively eight and
ten years of a«e. They both sobbed
violently and too youngest cried out:
"Oh ! tnnrunin. slavery is the most
mused thing Id tbo world."

Some Favorite Old Songs.
Thousands of song have won tran
sient popularity, bat comparatively
few have beoome permanently popular.
This element of vitality in muaio is
a secret which composers, critics,
publishers liave long striven to dis
cover. -Like genius, it refuses to be
defined.
The very oldest favorites are what
are called folk songs, th»t have origi
nated nobody knows bow.
Two Irish favorites are "Kobin
Adair" and "The Last Hose of Hum
mer," the words of ;tbe latter .being
Thomas Moore's. Oi'tbe Sootoh three
prime favorite are "Auld Lang Syne/
"Coming Through the Kye," and'
"Annie Laurie," Burnt" supplying the
words for the first two, while Annie's
charms were described by her devoted
laddie. William Douglas. The souk
goes straight to the heart, and the
British army sang it all through the
Crimean War, when
Each heart recalled a different name,
but all sang 'Annie Laurie.'
The 'French have furnished two
splendid war songs, "Malbronk" and
the "Marseillaise." The first, author
unknown, was intended to deride
Queen Anne's great general, Marl bor
ough; but be defeated the French so
thoroughly that the song was adopted
liy England, nnd is beard there to
this day. The "Marseillaise" was the
great song of the French Revolution.
It was composed, woids nnd music,
in a single night by Houßet de Lisle,
an army officer. It is generally deem
ed the finest of national song?.
England also has a grand one. l (.io<i
