LOTTA’S BURGLAR.
It was unprecedented at Eriaham
for the students to break out so late
in Hie term. Still more unpreced
ented-was it for a potent, grave and
revered senior to have any share in
the mischief. Yet, only three nights
before commencement the students
“made things howl,” and Tom An-
struher was head and frout of the of
fending. They nailed up over the
chapel door the sign, “To Provi
dence aud way stations^” stolen from
the railroad. TheyJserenaded/jbnox-
ious members of the faculty in terms
anthing but flattering. They built a
huge bon-tire on the campus and in
dulged in a promiscous song and
dance performance around it.
In the midst of the uprdRr there
was the cry of “Faculty ! faculty !”
followed by ail instant hush. The
students scattered in all directions,
Anstruher as fast as any—faster, in
deed, when he found himself closely
followed. His particular pursuer
appeared to be ouc of the younger
and more active of the professors,
who quite caught tlm spirit of the
chase. Tom found it impossible to
shake him off. Was the valedicto
rian of the graduating class to be
caught thus ignominiously ?
An open basement window gave
him an inspiration. lie sped past
it ; then, doubling cleverly on his
foe, sprang through it and laughed

Upstairs Lotta Desmond was
brushing out her pretty brown hair

daintily frilled toilct-labie, looking
oddly out of place, lay Cousin Jim’s

in bis composition that kept him
from taking any advantage of her

hand from hers without awakening
her—such cold, little, soft hands!
And no wonder. The chill breath
of early morning made him shiver,
although it was June.
He might as well make her com
fortable before he went. He groped
his way into the hall. On the hut

iniudctl her of the exploits of brave
Mrs. Brown anti plucky Mrs. Peters,
as recorded by the Daily Chronicle.
The ffrst of these ladies had, alone
and unarmed, held a burglar captive
until help came. The second, under
like circumstances, had completely
routed two desperate villains.
Aud Lotta had demanded Jim's
pistol aud declared that she only
longed for a chance to emulate their
heroism. Aud Jim had promised to
watch the papers for a similar men
tion of daring Miss Desmond,
So Lotta smiled when her eyes fell
ou the pistol, for as yet no opportu
nity for glory had come to her, and
Jim would be home to-morrow.
Just then her aunt came into the
room, fancying, as she hail fancied
every night since her husband's de
parture, that she “heard a noise, and
would dear Lotta, who was so fear
less,-mind going down stairs to inves
tigatc?”
So Lotta thrust her little bare feet
into slippers, threw on a wrapper
ami sallied forth, pistol in hand.
Aunt Lucy detained her with a
lust word—in case it should be any
one to let her know immediately;
hut otherwise not to disturb her, as
she was extremely fatigued.
With a dim recollection that the
dining room window had not been
closed, the young girl made her noise
less way thither at once. The gas
had been pul out and a miserable
candle left burning. What Lotta
saw by its dim light was a tall young
man, rathpr roughly clad.
Alas! Tom, usually something of a
dandy, had that night donned his
poorest array, his hair disordered,
his clothes grimed with dust and
>oot, from which not even his face
had escaped coolly examining her
tincle’s silver Spirit of Mrs. Brown
uni Mrs.—the other lady—inspire
tier.
“Drop that or I fire!’'
Tom turned with a start. What
he saw w»9 a pretty girl in charming
neglige, whose voice g.ud hand both
shook as he uttered this doughty
threat, and in whose face a certain
timid determination, a look of one
frightened at her pwn daring, ap
pealed to his sense of It put or, But it
would never do to laugh at her. Be
tties, that pistol in her uncertain, un
familiar hand was no joke. So he
-aid, with due humility :
“I surrender. But for heaven's
ake put up that revolver! You are
as likely to shoot yourself as me.”
“Not’at all,” evidently nettled. “I
am perfectly accustomed to using it.”
Need it bo said that {.his was a de
liberate lie, uttered with intent: pf
striking terror to the bosom of the
robber ?
For the same purpose Lotta contin
ued to level her pistol and eye him
with outward severity and not a few
inward tremors, thinking withal that
your housebreaker is not the bold
desperado lie is painted. Still keep
ing watch over one is weary work,
heigh-ho! Tom rapidly detenutned
to see the adventure through. Time
enough to nuike his escape should
she call for help or should any tresli
complication arise. He hopod she
was not going to keep standing all
night. Presently he ventures to sug
gest that she could mount guard over
him quite as well seated.
Lotta assented gladly. Her bur
glar was vnite a model, she thought
And why should she incumber her
self longer with that unnecessary
pistol, of which she acknowledged
to herself, she was much more afraid
than was her prisoner ?
Accordingly' she laid it carefplly
down within reach. Then, with
what seemed to Tom a most amazing
underrating of his strength, she an-
nouncep her intention ofboidiughini
until assistance should arrive.
To him the situation was not with
out its charm. It does not often hap
pen to any of us that a pretty girl
will insist on sitting next to us hold
ing our hands—and that site was pret
ty, exceedingly pretty, Anstruher
managed to satisfy himself in spite
of the stingy light.
Once or twice be addressed a re
mark to his fair captor, but she dis
couraged all attempt at conversation.
And so they sat in silence, while the
caudle burned low and finally went
out, and the cold gray light of dawn
crept into the room. Even this did
not canse Lotta to change her posi
tion. And, looking curiously at her,
the young' man discovered that his
stern guardian was asleep!
How long and dark were the lash

thought, gazing down at the sweet,
peaceful face framed in its wealth of
nut-brown hair. Surely none of the
young lady’s balldresses conld set oil’

Tom was strongly tempted, in his
If Miss Desmond was not the belle
of the college ball it was became,
strictly speaking, there arc no longer
belles at balls. But, in the language
of the other young ladies, she “re
ceived a great deal of attention.”
Ami how she did enjoy herself!
About the eleventh hour Cousin
Jim beg to introduce his friend Mr.
Anstruher.
Lotta’s large eyes grew larger with
astonishment. Mr. Anstruher com
posedly requested the pleasure of a
dance, and beiore she could collect
herself sufficiently to refuse, his arm
encircled her aud they' were gliding
over the polished floor in perfect
time and measure.
“You have my step exactly,” said
Miss Desmond, when they stopped

rect inspiration, for I never was
known to keep time witliauy one be
fore.”
Now did ever a man waltz to per
fection without knowing it? Lotta
looked at him a little contemptuous!
Her thought did him injustice. Tom
was not affecting modesty, only mak
ing talk to keep off* the question he
expected.
“May I take you into the library
There is an anxious-looking youth 1
should like to avoid. I suspect that

“If you have you arc only pursuing
your profession as a robber,” laughed
-Miss Desmond. “What were you do
ing that night in uncle’s dining
room ?”
Then it all came out, and Tom ex
plained aud apologized, seated in an
alcove of the great college library.
“And how frightened you were
when I and the pistol appeared ou
the scene !*’ said the young lady, ma
licionsly.
“I was not !”•—indignantly'.
“You turned very pale.”
“Then we must iiave been a well
matched pair for courage. The pis
tol shocked so iu your hand that 1
was afraid it would gooll'accideutal-
ly. That was the worst feature of
tiie case, for I do not believe yet
that you would have been bloodthirs
ty enough lo shoot me.”
“I am sure I would not. I was ini
nicnsely relieved lo wake up and
liud my captive fled.”
“What did you do?”
“Counted the spoons and went to
bed.”
“The spoons were all right. There
was but one thing stolen that night.”
“Mercy! what was that?”
“Only the burglar’s heart”—sent!
mentally.
Lotta looked at hin^and began to
laugh. Then he said :
“You might advertise for it as peo
ple do for stolen articles. And you
might say, ‘Of no value to any one
but the owner.’ ”
“Thank you, but I am not sure that
I want it returned,” said Anstruher,
laughing, too, but letting his eyes
rest upon her fair face until the
warm color surged lip beneath his
gaze.
“Thou hast a thief in either eye
Would steal it Lack again.’ ”
Lotta was & little glad as well as a
good deal sorry that her ill-used
partner at this .moment appeared in
the doorway*.
“Before that fellow comes can’t
you promise iqe ipore dance?” mur
mured Anslrtiher.
“I am engaged for ail blit the last.
I ran give you that one if yon are
going to stay till t|ie end.,,
How Miss Desinoiul contrived to
pacify tiie rightful claimant, and how
partner succeeded ^partner till the
cijd of tjip evening, peed pot tp be
told. It is certain that she enjoyed
no dance as she did that last one with
Tom. And then rout’s worst enemy
could not criticise his dancing.
As he relinquished iter to her cous
in’s care, Anstruher heaved a sigh of
exaggerated but very' real regret.
Then Lotta put out ap impulsive
Kttle hand and said hastily:
“Mr. Burglar, if you can conquer
your fancy for entering people’s win
dows enough to call in a more ortho
dox way, I shall be pleased to see
you.”
“Tbanjc you,” murmured Anstru-
her, pressing the soft warn? hand
with quick unnecessary warmth.
“Ilappv the wooing that’s not long a-
[doing.”
The acquaintance so oddlv begun
was prosecuted with ardor. Lotta’s
burglar laid hot siege to her affec
tions, and before loug induced her to
set up housekeeping—I had almost

The election for Senator in New
ton Friday, August 27th, was not
fair expression of the wish of the peo
ple. No one, I think, who witnessed
the disgraceful scene in Newton on
that day is rash enough to sajrthat
Mr. Hawes is the choice of Baker

stances, he received sixteen votes
one of those votes his own ; Hawes
voted for himself, over his competi
tor, Uol. S. I*. Davis.
For the credit of our county 1 will

this election was conducted, and how
it happened that Mr. Hawes obtain

matter of fact, which every candid
citizen ot our county will admit, I re
mark that tiie conduct of the election
of the 27th ult. was a shameful bur
lesque on popular suffrage!
Col. Davis, beyond all question, is
the choice of our people, white aud
colored ; aud it lie would consent to

as our couuty is concerned, would
prove the truth of this assertion.

Good Society.
Christian Regiater.
Many parents who have sons and
daughters growing up are anxious
for them to get into good society.—
This is an honorable anxiety. If it
interprets good society after some
lofty fashion.
Parents, your daughter is in good
society when she is with girls who
are sweet and pure and true-hearted;
who arc not vain or frivolous, who
thiuk of something besides dress, or
flirting or marriage; between whom
and their parents there is confidence;
who are u>eful as well as ornamen
tal in the nousc; who cultivate their
lmuds to skillful workmanship.
If society of this sort is not to be
had, then none at all is preferable to
a worthless article. Sec to it that
you press this on your children, aud
above all, that you do not encourage
them to think that good society is a
matter of tine clothes, or weal ill. or
boasting to somebody. As von value
your child’s soul, guard her against
these miserable counterfeits; and im
press upon her that intelligence, and
simplicity and modesty, aud good
ness, are tiie only legal coin.
The same rule holds for boys as
well as for girls. You would have
these enter into good society. Do
uot imagine that you have accom
plished it when you have got them
iu with a set of good boys whose pa
rents are wealthier than you, who
dress better than your boys can af
ford to dress, and who pride them
selves upon their social position.
Good society for a boy is society of
boys who are honest and straight
forward, who have no bad habits,
who arc earnest and ambitious.
They are not in a hurry to be men.—
They are not ambitious for the
company of shallow, hearticcs wo
men, old enough to be their mothers,
and arc not envious of Jieir friends
who fancy there is something grand
iu dulling the edge of tiieir heart’s
hope upon such jailed favorites.
There is nothing sadder than to sec
either young men or women priding
themselves upon the society which
they enjoy, when verily it is a Dead
Sea apple that choke them in the
dust, when they need some generous,
juicy fruit to cool their lips aud stay
the hunger of their souls.

Concerning the “tremendous ener
gy of the Southern people,” the De
troit Free Press says:
“The tremendous physical constitu
tion and energy of the Sonthern peo
ple, at least of the males, is some
thing unparrellelied iu history. That
they spend a good portion of their
nigiits in ridipg about and engaging
iu murder, arsou, Republican news
paper, and preached from every Re
publican stump. An ordinary race
of men would, of course, reqnire
sleep aud rest during the daytime,
but no sooner do these Southern ban
ditti arrive home and take off their
masks and put away their pistols
than they begin the work of the day
time by raising cane, cotton and oth
er products to a larger extent titan
before tiie war. Some of them, loo,
after a hard night’s ride, their hands
still covered with blood, go to work
manufacturing the cotton which the
other Ku-Klux have raised. They
even send to the hated North for ma
chinery. A northern newspaper
says that the Lewiston (Maine) Ma
chine Company’s works were never
so busy as now. Looms are being
made for mills in Georgia, North
and South Corolina, and the shops
are rnn at their fullest capacity to fill
the orders. Hence we say ’that a
people capable of manufacturing and
raising cotton by dnv‘ and. in the
classic words of Horr, of Michigan,
hell’ by night, are at once the most
any people on earth.”

What a blind man Did.
Prescott the historian, and Prof.
Fawett, of England, illustrate the
will-power of those who, stricken
blind by a calamity, have yet achiev
ed success in life. Instead of mourn-
iug over the precious treasure of eye
sight lost, they have gone to work.—
Adapting themselves to their situa
tion, they have shown what training
and persistent effort could do. But
James Goodsell, who recently died in
Burlington, Yt-» was blind from his
birth to bi8 death—a period of ninety
years. Yet what he did shows that
even this terrible misfortune is uot
an insuperable obstacle in the way
of a man determined to mzk.'! the
most of himself:
In spite of his misfortune, he would
swing an axe with dexterity, and
felled trpes; he was an accomplished
grain thresher, and would frequent
ly go alone a distance of two miles to
thresh for the fanners, climbing tiie
mows to throw down the grain; he
would set a hundred bean poles, with
more accuracy than most people who
can see, would load hay, and was so
good a mechanic that he manufactur
ed yokes and other farm articles with
success.
Objections to Marriage.
In our opinion, girls arc just as I

when it is necessary so to do. To the,
fact that men arc so unwilling to re-1
liuquish their pet vices and luxuries
is to be ascribed much of iho falling-
off'of matrimony. Marriage without j
adequate means of support is a blun

A Quack * Success.
A medical writer tells this story of
a celebrated English quack: He was
once visited by an old acquaintance
from tho oonntry, who addressed him
as <‘?am.”
“I’m glad to see thee’st got on so
finely, Zam,” said the rustic, “but
how’i8*t man? Thee know’st thoe

pumpkin.’’
Taking him to a window, the quack
bade him to count the passers-by.—
“How many havopassed?” asked tho
quack, after a few minutes.
“Nointv and perhaps a hundred.”
“And how many wise men do you
suppose were in this hundred?”
“Mayhap one.”
“Well, all the rest are mine.”

Congress which did not meet in six
weeks, introduced a bill in Congress,
January 13th, 18®S, to remove Han
