Who will believe that a man twenty years old and ono hun dred and fifteen pounds in weight, crawl ed through a hole in a stone wall six by eleven inches in size, twenty-five feet from the ground and escaped down a rope? These were the exact circumstances under which Charles Crayton, sentenced on Fri day to ene year’s imprisonment and SIOO tine and costs on two indictments for as sault and battery, escaped from the Venan go county jail at 10 o’clock Monday night. Cray together with John Murray, convict ed of the same offense and sentenced at the samo time, was eontiined in the north west corner cell, second tier, tho one far thest from the apartments of sheriff. Us ing two case knives which had been cut in to saws, he first cut through the ono and a half inch upright iron har dividing tho window, which is six inches wide. He, then with a coal chisel, cut into the wall, which is composed of soft freestone, until he had relieved both ends of a flat cross bar of half-inch iron, through a hole in which the upright has passed. Just below the next cross bar above, he cut into the upright to the depth of three-sixteenths of an inch, and, inserting ono end of a long bed-slat, he and his partner, by applying their united strength to the slat, brokey off the bar where the niche had been made. This left a space six inches wide and elev en inches high. Previously he and his pnrtner had torn their blanket into nar row strips and platted quite a neat rope therefrom. Securing the rope to what was left of the upright rod, he thoroughly soap ed the sides of the opening, soaped his own nakod body and ■wriggled through this hole, climbed down the rope, dressed himself after his clothes were dawn by bis accomplice, anti escaped through a storm rain raging the time. His compaion being of larger frame did not attempt the hope less task of getting through the window, but went quietly to sleep. There found in cell two knives, one cold chisel, ono pening hammer and two bags converted into suckH from the alcoves of a shirt, con nected by a cord of sufficient length to bring them, if hung over tho should, down to his hips, and which may have been used to protect his sides as he edged his way through the aperture, althouh thisisscrce ly probably- These were filled with soft bread. Underneath the window were picked up a piece of meat, wrapped in a scrap of newspaper, an old clay pipe, and a string about twenty-five feet in length, compossed partly of strips from his shirt, and partly of hempen cord. Children In Heaven. Heaven in the children’s home. “Of such is the kingdom of heaven.” They go out of thin world by millions every year. A mighty procession of redeemed little ones is ever moving onward into eternity, as though borne along by a river of team. They leave behind them tear-dimed eyes, and hungry hearts, and empty arms, and silent chambers, and desolate homes. They come to us like messengers of God, with musical prattle, and winsome help lessness, and lie upon onr hearts for a while, until every tendril of affection has twined around them and bound them to us; then they are tom away and taken from ns. This experience is as old as the race. From the beginning, God began to draw parents’ hearts, and to people and brighten heavenby taking little children to Himself. No man can number the vast multitude of little one God has gathered out of all ages and generations. What a beautiful throng 1 Even heaven would seem lonely now without them, and the angels would wander disconsolately over the fields of Eden, if countless hosts of glorified children should be suddenly re moved ! Christian parents have a rich inheritance in the memories of their sainted children, and in the living treasures laid up in heav en. “Years ago,” says Dr. W. M. Taylor;, “when I was leaving my Liverpool home t) Infill an engagement in the city of Glas gow, the last sight on which my eyes rest ed was that of my little daughter at the grandmother’s arms. As the carriage drove me away, she waved her hand in fond and laughing glee, and many a time during my railway ride the pleasant vision came up before my memory and filled my heart with joy. I never saw her again. Tho next morning a telegram stunned me with the tidings of her death; and now that earthly glimpse of he has been ideal ized and glorified, and it seems to me as if God had set her in the window of heavert to beckon me up to my eternal homo. I would not give that memory for all the gold of earth. I would not part with the inspiration that it stirs within me for all that the world could bestow." Even so has God made the everlasting homo more attractive to all the bereaved whose chil dren have gone up into this its beautiful courts. The window's of our Father’s house are full of bright child faces waiting for the coming of the loved ones from earth. Bio words. —Big words are great favor ites with people of small ideas and weak conceptions. They are sometimes em ployed by men of mind, when they wish to use language that may best conceal their thoughts. With few exceptions, however illiterate and uneducated people use more “big words,” than people of thorouh edu cation. It is a very common, but egregri ous, mistake to suppose tbe long words are more genteel than tbe abort ones—just as the same sort of people imagine high colors and flashy Agues improve the style of dress. These are the kind of folks who don’t begin, but always “commence.” They don’t go to bed, but mysteriously “retire.” They don’t eat and drink, but “partake of refreshments.” They are nev er siek, but‘*extremely indisposed;” and instead of dying at last they “disease.” 'I he strength of the Englsh is in the short words —eheifly monosyllables of Saxon derivation; and people who are in earnest seldom use any others. Love, hate, an ger, grief, and joy express themselves in short words and direct sentences; while cunning, falsehood, and affectation de. light in what Horace calls verbs sesquipe dalia—words a foot and a half long. A Pennsylvania girl waited a whole year before bringing a suit for damages against a man who kissed her without warning, and the crushing verdict of one cent dam -1 ages took her breath away. $2.50 A YEAR. X Sketch for Pilferers. Yesterday a fruit-dealer on market street says the Louisville Courier-Journal, in censed by the liberties taken by the loafers with his wares displayed at the door, plac ed a half gallon of Cayenne pepper in a basket labeled it “New Zealand Cherries," and hung it in a conspicuous place in front of his stand. In a few minutes the next door merchant sauntered up, inquired how trade was, picked up a New Zealand cherry, placed it in his mouth, and sud denly left to attend to a customer. The Rev. Dr. Bowly rounded to observed that the yellow fever news from Memphis was not very oncouraging this morning, and— ah! it had been years since ho had a New Zealand cherry; whereupon he ate one remarked that it was superb, wiped his weeping eyes on his coatsleeve, supposed that New Zealand was getting warmer ev ery year, wished the dealer good-morning and departed, lamenting the growing weakness of his eyes in tho sunlight. A chronicle deadbeat then came up, took a mouthful of cherries, spluttered them* out, with an imprecation, all over the fruit stuffed a pear, a banana and a bunch of grapes into his mouth to take out the taste informed the dealer that he would have him prosecuted for keeping green frnit, and went down the street to the pump. A lady with two children next appeared stop ped to admire the cherries, asked if she mighn’t just taste them—she never had seen any before—supplied the children, and walked away—wallcod away with a faco fiery with scorn and anger, while the children set up a howl that brought all the doors and windows and drove all the policemen off the street. Thus the fun wont on all the morning.. The fruit-dealer never laughed so much in all his life. The occupants of tho adjacent and opposite stores and a shoal of small boys soon learned what was up, and watch ed and joined in a ringing roar as each new victim triod the cherries. Finally, a solemn looking countryman lounged up,, inquired tho price of them ’ere New Zeal and cherries, invested in a pint, put one in his mouth, took it out again, gave the fruit-dealer a lingering look of mild re proach, pulled off his coat and “waded in to” him. When he left, the fruitman with tendencies to practical jokes, had a blue eye, a red nose, a purple face, a sprained wrist and several bushels of fruit scatter ed around among the small boys, while the same ringing roar of laughter was go ing up from the lookers-on.
