* K VALM IS THE NIGHT."
Oalm Is the night, and the city is sleeping—
Once in this honse dwelt a lady fair,
Long, long ago, ehe left it, weeping;
But still the old honse is standing there.
Yonder a man at the heaTens is staring,
Wringing his hands as in sorrowful case ;
He turns to the moonlight, his countenance
baring—
O, heaven ! he shows me my own sad face I
Shadowy form with my own agreeing !
Why mockest thou thus, in the moonlight
cold,, ’
The sorrows which here once vexed my being,
Many a night in the days of old ?

Peck’s Bad Boy.
“Pa went to the theatre the other
nighty” said the bad boy. “I don’t
think it is right for a man to go to the
theatres and not take his little boy. So,
my chum and me concluded to burgie
pa. We agreed to Lay on the stairs, and
when he came up my chum was to hit
him on the heat 1 with* a dried bladder,
and I was to stab him on the breast
pocket with a stick and break' the lini
ment bottle which he had in his pocket
aud make him think e was killed. It
couldn’t have worked better if we had
rehearsed it. Wo hud bilked about
burglars at supper time, and got pa ner
vous, so when he came up stairs and
was hit. on the head with tbs bladd. r,
the first tiling he said waS ‘ Burglars, by
mighty S’ and he started to go hack, anil
then I lilt him on the breast where the
a. iiot'le was, and then we rushed by him
’ down stairs, and I said in a stagft, w s
per: ‘ I guess lie’s a dead man,’ and went
down cellar and up the back stair' to
my room and undressed. Fa hollered to
nia that he was murdered, and ma callfd
me, and I came down in my night-shirt
and the hired gill she came down, and
pawns on the lounge, and he Baid his
life-blood was fast ebbing away. Ho
held his hand on the wound, and said he
could feel the warm blood trickling clear
down to his boots, I told pa to stuff
some tar into the wound, such as he
told me to put on my lip to make my
moustache grow, and pa said:
“ * My boy, this is no time for trifling.
Your pa is on his last legs. When I
come up stairs I met six burglars, aud I
attacked them, and forced four of them
down, and was going to hold them and
send for the police, when two more,
that I did not lcnow about, jumped on
me, and I was g. tting the beat of them,
when one of them struck ine over the
head with a crow bar, and the other
stabbed me to the heart with a butcher
knife. I have received my death wound,
my boy, and my hot southern blood,
that I offered up so freely for my coun
try, in her time of need, is passing from
my body, and soon your pa will be only
a piece of poor clay. Get some ice and
put on my stomach, aud all the way
down, for lam burning up.’ I went to
the water pitcher and got a chunk of
ice and pnt it inside pa’s shirt, and while
ma was tearing up an old skirt to stop
the flow of blood, I asked pa if he felt
better, and if he could describe the vil
loins who had murdered him. Pa gasped
and moved his logs to get them cool from
the clotted blood, he said, and he went
on, ‘One of them was six foot high, and
had a sandy moustache. I got him
down and hit him in the nose, and if the
police find him, his nose will be broke.
The second one was thick sot, and
weighed about two hundred. I had
■ him down, and my boot was on liis neck
and I was knocking two more down,
Maiden T was hit. The thick sot cue will
the mark o" boot heels on jiis
J throat. Tell the police, when lam gone,
’ about the boot heel marks.’
“By this time ma had got the skirt
tore up, and She stuffed it under pa’s
shirt, right whore he said he was hit,
and pa was telling us what to do to set
tle his estate, when ma began to smell
the liniment, und she found the broken
1 Kittle iu his pocket, and searched pa for
k the place where he was stabbed, and
then she begun to laugh, and pa got
mad and said he didn’t see as a death
bed scene was such an almighty funny
affair, and then she told him he was not
hurt, but. that he had fallen on the
stairs and broke liis bottle, and that
there was no blood on him, and he said,
‘Do yon mean to tell me my body and
logs are not bathed iu human gore,’ aud
then pa got up and found it was only the
liniment. Ho got mad and asked ma
why she didn't fly around and get some
thing to take that liniment, off his legs,
as it was eating them right* through to
the bone, and then he saw my chum put
his head in the door, with one gallus
hanging down, and pa looked at me and
then he said, ‘Look a-here, if I find out
it was yon boys that put up this job on
me, I’ll make it so hot for you that you
will think liniment is ice cream in com
parison.’ I told pa it didn’t Jook reason
ali .hat me aud my chtnn could be six
burglars, six feet high, with our noses
broke, and boot-heel marks on our necks,
and pa he said for us to go to bed all
fired juibk, and give him a chance to
wash off that liniment, and we retired.”
They Steer for the Water.
“Just, look at that fellow!” said an
old ship watchman, addressing a reporter
and pointing to a drunken man reeling
along the decks on South street. “ There
he goes, close hauled, with a long leg
and a short leg, working away as near as
he can get to the water. But that is the
way they all go. The water seems to
have a mysterious attraction for drunken
✓ men. The police along here will tell
you the same tiling. I have remarked
it for several years. Watch a drunken
man coming out of one of those grogeries
on the other side of the street. He will
' stagger along the sidewalk for a short
•distance; then he will come about and
reach over here. A policeman may
possibly run him over to the other side
and start him again. Keep your eye on
him, and after awhile you will see him
come back. A drunken man is never so
happy as when he is in some dangerous
place near the water. There is a popular
notion that most of the dead men found
floating in the Xorth and East Rivers,
especially in the summer time, are the
victims of foul play. This is a great
mist ah.; they are all, or -nearly all, the
victims cf foul whisky. People in great
trouble or anxiety also appear to be
' attracted by tie water. Just like the
drunkards, they mope along the docks
apparently without knowing where they
arc going or what they are about, and
very often they are accidentally drowned
wher tIK-ir friends think that they com
d suicide,
" “ jjruukmds are the enemies of water,
and certainly water is no friend of
drunkards. A great many drunken
sailors tumble overboard from their
vessi Is. Some drunken men, when they
fall info the water, become quite sober
immediately, and strike out boldly for
their lives" if they are swimmers; but
most of them drown very quickly. If
the ghosts of the East River could be
materialized, the material would be
useful to the temperance cause,”— New

SCHOOL BOY DAYS. 1
A BUSY SCHOOL ROOM.
The Paper Wad—lts Aim and End and
What was Sure to Follow.
There were two-handed, double and
twisted giants in the land in those days,
says Burdette, but when a boy got his
licking at school that was the end of it,
If he was of a revengeful disposition, he
stole chalk from the school honse and
drew fearful and wondei ful pictures of his
teacher on the neighboring fences, to
the great wrath of the residents and
property-owners. And that there might
be no" mistake, he wrote the teach
er’s name tinder the photograph, or on
the nose of it, the length of the nose
being proportioned to the pupil’s hate
and merciless vengeance. And no mat
ter how young the teacher was, if he was
only a boy from college, twenty-two
years old, the indignant pupil always
called him “old” so-and-so. But
all the same, the boy got licked
sometimes when he needed it, rarely
when he didn’t and never when he
wanted it. And he rubbed his stripes
and showed his welts to his cheerful and
delighted fellows, for we were always
well pleased to see another boy
“licked,” and he grinned rather rue
fully over them himself, but he didn’t go
whining into court with them. Great
Scotland, some Thursday afternoon in
June, when the day was warm, and the
room was close, and the flies buzzed
against the dingy window phnes, and a
storm was in the air, and a spirit of mis
chief pervaded the atmosphere, when
there was a boy doing penance behind
each blackboard and another one stand
ing on the chalk box, and another sat on
the long front bench, softly weeping
into a dog-eared Webster’s spelling
book aud delicately rubbing the place of
the slate frame ; when the monotonous
buz-z-z-z of study was timed off on the
girl’s side of the room as those angels in
pantalets boat tlieir breasts in rapid syn
copation, ns they conned over the pages
(f United States history or buzzed down
t’ie column of words of three syllables
tiding in “ ible ” and “ able;” when old
Human sat watchful and suspicious
with the trusty slate frame in his hand,
wor ;vig some drowsy, stupid urchin
with “three-fourths of twelve is what
part J seventy-two.” Suddenly, some
idle bo' r > supplied witli work by the
usual conh'actor, would fire a paper wad
clear room “ spot.!” on the old
man’s brid head. Saul of the tempest,
how the cloud would burst! Before the
boy that shot that wad had time to yell
“ i never done It 1” Wove than once, he
would be collared and yanked Over the
desks and benches, back on the floor,
heels iu the air and tho slate frame fly
ing like tho sails of a mill, and the
shriek of “ I never done it!” changes to
“I’ll never do it again!” “Oh, you
you won’t!” says the old man, with sav
age sflrcasm, “it you didn’t do it this
time how are you never going to do it
again ?” And the slate frame whacks
away like a trip-hammer, the hoy rolls
on the floor and pounds a vigorous tattoo
with his anguish-stricken heels, the
chairs go over, the dust flies in clouds,
the boy on the chalk box gets upset in
tho melee, the prisoners behind tho
blackboards come out to see tho circus,
smiling away' their own disgrace, the
culprit on the bench forgets his own
welts in his joy at beholding new ones
located on another hoy, the girls cry in
shrill tones of fright and pity, covering
their faces with their aprons or wringing
their pleading hands, the boys on the
back seats, farthest out of sight, joy
ously repeat, in extravagant pantomime,
(he gyrations and contortions of the boy
who is rehearsing his part in the great
Elate frame act; and as oft as old Hinman
gets iu an unusually good whack, there
is a general subdued “ Ow-w !’ r all over
the boys’ side, expressive alike of the
keenest appreciation of tho neatness of
the “ lick” and the painful situation of
the receiver, and all tho time that old
slate frame keeps going like a mad, wild
thing, until tho curtain goes down in a
glare of red fire and tho low muttering
of distant thunder iu the mountains.
That was an old-time licking in old Hin
man’s day, and no court can stick its nib
into the matter, either.
Tho Two Misers.
AN OLD HEBREW LEGEND.
A miser living in Kufa had heard that
iu Bassora also there dwelt a miser—
more miserly than himself, to whom ho
might go to school, and from whom he
might learn much. He forthwith jour
neyed thither, and presented himself to
(he great master.as a humble commencer
in the Art of Avarice, anxious to
learn, and under him to become a stu
dent.
“ Welcome !” said the miser of Bassora:
“we will go into the market to make
some purchases.”
They went to the baker.
“ Hast thou good bread?”
“ Good, indeed, my masters, and fresh
and soft as butter.”
“ Mark this, friend,” said the miser of
Bassora to the one of Kufa, “butter is
compared with bread as being the better
of tue two; as we can only consume a
small quantity of that, it will also be the
cheaper, and tve shall therefore act more
.wisely, and more savingly too, in being
satisfied with butter.”
They they went to the butter mer
chant," and asked if he had good butter.
“Good, indeed, and flavory and fresh
as tke finest olive oil,” was the answer.
“Mark this, also,” said the host to his
guest, “oil is compared with the very
best butter, and therefore by much ought
to be preferred to the latter.”
They next went to the oil vender.
“ Have you good oil?”
“ Tire very best quality, white and
transparent as water,” was the reply.
“Mark that, too,” said the mister of
Bassora to the one of Kufa; “by this
rale water is the very best. Now, at home
I have a pailful, and most hospitably
therewith will I entertain you.”
And, indeed, on their return, nothing
but water did he place before his guest.,
because they had learned that water was
better than oil, "oil better than butter,
butter better than bread,
“God be praised!” said the miser of
Kufa, “ I have not journeyed this long
distance in vainl”
The Pooh Boy.—Taimage, speaking
of the late Gov. Stephens of Georgia,
says:—Think of a barefoot boy walking
all the way from his home in the
mountains and going about the edges of
the town timidly asking for the man
who “edecates poo boys.” This
poor, half-naked lad, this benighted and
immortal soul aspiring to something
higher than his savage line in the
mountains, had heard there was a man
in the city who “edecated poo boys;”
and he came limping down alone and
hungry in soul and body asking for .that
man, whose name he could not even re
member. At last he found someone in
telligent enough ro point, him out the
honse of Stephens, of Georgia. And he
got his education, thank God.
A MALARIAL VICTIM.
The Trying Experience of a Pro milieu: .11 ink
ier in tile Tropica and at llie North.
To thk Editor:
The following circmnstance?, drawn from
my personal experience, nro so important
and really remarkable that X have felt called
upon to make them public. Their truth can
be amply verified:
Iu 1875Imoved from Canton,St. Lawrence
county, N. Y., to Florida, which State I in-,
tended to make my future residence. I prr*
chased a home on the banks of the St. Joan’s
river and settled down, as 1 thought, for
life. The summer following the first winter
l was conscious of most peculiar sensations,
which seemed to be the accompaniment of a
change of climate. I felt a sinking at the
pit of the stomach, accompanied by
occasional dizziness and nausea. My
head ached. My limbs pained me and 1
had an oppressive sense of weariness.
I had a thirst for acids and my appetite was
weak and uncertain. My digestion was im
paired and my food did not assimilate. At
tiist I imagined it was the effort of nature to
become acclimated, and so I thought little
of it. Bnt my troubles increased until I be
came restless and feverish, and the physi
cians informed me I was suffering from ma
larial fever. This continued in spite of all
the best physicians could do, and I kept
growing steadily worse. In the year 3*Bo
my physicians informed me a change
of climate was absolutely necessary—that I
could not survive another summer in the
South. I determined to return North, but
l ot to the extreme portion, and so I took up
my residence at Upper Sandusky in Central
i hio. The change did not work the desired
cure aud 1 again consulted physicians. 1
found they were unable to effect a perma
nent cure, and when the extreme warm
weather of summer came on I grew
so much worse that I gave up
ail hope. At that time I was suffering
terribly. How badly, only those can appre
ciate who have corrtiacted malarial disease iu
tropical regions. It seemed as if death
would be a relief greater than any other
blessing. But notwithstanding all this, lam
happy to state that 1 am to-day a perfectly
well and healthy man. How I came to re
cover so remarkably oan be understood from
the following card voluntarily published by
me in the Sandusky (Ohio) liepublican,
entitled:
HONOR TO WHOM nONOR IS DDE.
Editors Republican : Daring my recent
visit to Upper Sandusky, so many inquiries
were made relative to what medicine or
course of treatment had brought such a
marked change in my system. I feel it to do
due to tho proprietors and to the public to
state that Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure accomplished for me what other medi
cines and physicians had failed to do. The
malarial poison which had worked its way so
' thoroughly through my system duriugmy five
years residence in Florida had brought me
io the verge of tho grave, and physi
cians had pronounced my case incurable;
tint that is not to be wondered at, as it vras
undoubtedly one of the worst on record.
Hough Brothers, of your city, called my at
tention to the medicine referred to, and in
duced-me to try a few bottles. So marked
was tho change after four week’s trial that I
continued its use. and now, after three
months, the cure is complete. This is not
written for the benefit of Warner & Cos., but
for the public, and especially for any person
ti oabled with malaria or bilious attacks.”
Such is tho statement I made, without so
licitation, after my recovery, and such I stand
liy at the present moment. lam convinced
i that 'Varner’s Safe Cure is all it is claimed to
| l.e, and as such deserves the great favor it
j lias received. A remedy which can cure the
severest case of tropical malaria of five
years’standing certainly cannot fail to cure
lnose minor malarial troubles which are so
prevalent and yet so serious.
ALFRED DAY,

WooDbiooit, O . May 10. 1883.
I A Secret P Tilling Office in Russia.
The authoress of “ Underground
Russia” sajts: “I went over all the
rooms in which the work of printing
was carried \on. The mechanism was
extremely simple. A few cases witli
various kinds of type, a little cylinder
just cast of a kind of gelatinous sub
stance closely resembling a carpenter’s
glue, and some what pleasant to smell;
a large heavy cylinder covered witli
cloth, which servycd as the press; some
blackened brashes and sponges iu a pan;
twd jars of printing ink. Every thing
| was arranged ii> s|uch a manner that it
1 could be hidden in !a quarter of an hour
in a large clothes-press standing in a
comer. \
They explained to mm the mechanism
of tho work, and smilingly told me of
some little artifices whie'h they employed
to divert tho suspicion <4f the devornU
who came every day xvitli water, wood,
etc. Tho system adopted was not that
of not allowing him to enter, but pre
cisely the reverse. Under various pre
texts, they made him see flic whole of
the rooms as often as possible, having
first removed everything which could
cxcito suspicion. When the&e pretexts
failed, others were invented Being
unable to find a plausiblo rehson for
him to enter tho inner room, Mme.
Kriloff one day went and told hi\m that
there was a rat there which mffst be
killed. The dvornik went, and cer
tainly found nothing; but the trick was
played; he had seen the whole of the
rooms, and could hear testimony that
there w:is absolutely nothing suspicions
in them. Once a month they invariably
had people in to clean the floors of all
the rooms.
Story of Aaron Burr.
“On the day following Aaron Burr’s
death,” says one who know him, “and
shortly before the funeral, a touching in
cident—almost the only pathetic thing in
connection with it—occurred, which has
always lingered iu my memory. I was
still in charge of the remains, when
among those who came down from Now
York on the early boat that morning I
remarked a closely-veiled lady in black,
accompanied by a beautiful little girl of
twelve or fourteen. They seemed to have
come unaccompanied, and they hung
back timidly while the other visitors
were passing into the room for a parting
look at the remains. Presently, how
ever, when she could do so unobserved,
i the lady ventured to ask me if she could
enter. Of course there was no objection.
When she and her young companion be
held the dead old man, no one else being
present but myself, they both fell to
weeping and sobbing unrestrainedly, the
| girl in a child’s way, and the woman
passionately, as though her heart would
I break. The latter, having raised her
veil while giving way to her emotion,
showed the features of a still beautiful
woman, as yet on the right side of forty,
I judged. After they had somewhat
composed themselves, and while passing
out, I heard the little girl say: ‘We
shall never see poor papa any more,
shall we, mamma ?” ‘Hush, hush, my
child !’ was the woman’s only response,
in a sort of agony, as they hurried away
together. Iu spite of the obloquy that
has been heaped upon Aaron Burr’s pri
vate character, I have ever since then al
.wavs thought that there must have been
something good or at least something ex
seeptionately fascinating, in a man who
couid thus even from Ins shroud, after a
checkered and stormy career of eighty
years, command the heartfelt respect and
grief of such a refined woman.”

GOVERNMENT PROFIT ON COINAGE.
Nome furious Fact* Feinting to Unre
deemed Obligation* of the Government.
A considerable source of profit to the
United States Government is the amount
of paper money and coin which is never
presented for redemption. Much of this
is destroyed by lire. Some of it is buried
or hid in places known ro no person
alive. A large quantity of the eoin is
melted to make sterliug silverware. Con
siderable amounts of both paper money
aud coin are exported, never to return.
Not long ago a United States bond, is
sued about 1819, was presented at the
Sub-Treasury in N. Y. City. The interest
on it had ceased over fifty years. It had
come back from Europe through Baring
Brothers.
The outstanding principal of the pub
fic debt of the United States last year
was nearly two billions of dollars, chiefly
represented by bonds and Treasury
notes.
It. would he, of course, impassible to
say how much of this will never be pre
sented for redemption, but some idea
may be formed from the fact that §57,-
605 of it was issued so long ago that the
date is not recorded. It appeal's in the
report as “old safely be

their customers.
As to the coin tliefwovemment de
rives a considerable profit from it. The
silver in one thousand silver dollars
costs, on an average about §803.75. Tho
coinage of a silver dollar costs about 1]
cents. The total cost of 1,000 silver
dollars to the Government is therefore
§816.25.
Since the organization of the Mint, in
1793, 127,190,618 silver dollars have been
coined, on which the Government has
received a profit of over twenty-three
millions of dollars.
In the same period §122,758,510 was
coined into half dollars. At the same
rate of cost for coinage the Government
profited §19,395,769 on these. The total
silver coinage of the Government since
1793 is §347,766,792. Estimating the
profit, on the halves, quarters, and sub
sidiary coins at the same rate as on the
dollars, the total profit received by the
Government on its silver coinage has
been about sixty-four millions of dollars.
In the coinage of tho five-centnickels
the Government reserved to itself the
liberal profit of nearly 50 per eent.
This gave to the Government last year
the handsome revenue of over §IOO,OOO
from nickels alone. The wide margin
between the intrinsic value of the live
eent nickel and its face value led to ex
treme counterfeiting.
Several years ago ail assay was made
of some of the counterfeit nickels, and it
was discovered that the counterfeiters
had put into their coins more valuable
metal than the Government uses in mak
ing the genuine coins, i
The Explosion of tlief’earc.Maker.
The 28tli of February, 1844, was a snd
day in Washington, Captain
of the navy and commander of the
United States war-steamer Princeton,
the construction of which he had super
intended, brought her to Washington, to
show what he had accomplished. For
this purpose he invited the President
and his Cabinet, Congressmen aud
strangers of distinction to witness the
working of her screw propeller and the
firing of the big gun called the “ Peace
maker,” which was made of wrought
iron, and carried a ball weighing 225
pounds. About a hundred of the invited
guests went aboard, including many
ladies, and the vessel steamed down the
Potomac as far as Mount Yemon. The
machinery worked admirably, and tho
“Peace-maker” was fired three times.
On her return trip, as the oompuny had
just finished a sumptuous collation and
were still at the table, word was passed
down that the “Peace-maker” was to
be fired again, and those who wished to
witness it must come on deck.
Fortunately for Mr. Tyler and many
others, before they could get on deck tho
gnu was fired and exploded. The report
of the explosion was deafening and
crated great alarm among the ladies
below. As the smoke blew away a
shocking spectacle presented itself.
There lay mangled and dead Abel P.
Upshur, Secretary of State; Thomas W.
CSilmer, Secretary of the Navy; Com
modore Kennon of the navy; Yirgil
Maxcy, lute Minister to the Hague, aud
Colonel Gardner, whose daughter Presi

these, two seamen were killed and eleven
seriously injured.

J. C. Grny, of Dadeville, la., writes ns: “I
have been using your It. Win. IIuM - Baltntn
for the Lungs, and I can say, of a truth if is
far superior to any other Lung preparation in
the world. My mother was confined to her bed
four weeks with a cough, aiftl had every atten
tion by as good phvsiciftns as there im- in tho
country, and they all failed to effect a cure: but
when I got one bottle of your Dr. Win. 1 hill’s
Balsam for the Lungs, she began to mend right
away. I can sav in truth, that it was the means
of saving her life. I know of five cases that
Dr. Wm. Hall's Balsam has cured, and my
mother is better now than she has been before
for twenty years.”
More helpful than all wisdom is one draught
of human pity that, will not forsake us.

•• Shout the Uilad Tidings.”
Mrs. Thomas Atkinson, of No. 29 Ring Street,
Providence, R. 1., joins theexalt-ant multitude in glad
praiae and thanksgiving’. Mrs. A. says:
*‘A few months ago I was taken seriously ill and
obliged to give up my accustomed household duties, and
receive medical treatment, and grew worse continually
until I wes confined to my bed, in spite of the doctor’s
prescriptions and the best advice that I could get. My
wfferings were very severe from the excruciating pains
m my back, and my legs were very badly swolfbn, at
tended with severe pains, which were supposed to be
caused by the rheumatism. A lriend of mine who called
|J see me urged me to try Hunt’s Remedy, stating that
be knew of the wonderful cures of several parties who
had taken this medicine, in cases which seemed very
much like mine, excepting that they were in much worse
condition than I was. I consented to try the Remedy,
tnd begun to take it as directed, ami before I had fin
ished taking one bottle the improvement in me was
great, and it continued constantly, V that after I had
taken less than three bottles 1 was able to resume my
household duties and do my work easily, although I had
been confined to the bed several weeks. The swellirg
of my limbs has disappeared, and the lameness and
pains in my back ara gone, all gone. For all of which,
under the blessing of a kind Providence, I am indebted
to Hunt’s Remedy, and I believe that it is my duty and
privilege to inform all who are suffering in like manner
Vf the remarkable curative and restoraAve powers of
ibis remedy, which I cheerfully recommend to all who
are aillicted with Kidney Disease aud Dropsy.”
“Never Known to Fall.”
This motto was adopted s >me years ago for the won
derful Kidney medicine, Hunt’s Remedy. It was a bold
banner to carry, for Hunt's Remedy is recommended for
some of the most fatal maladies—liright’s disease and all
kidney, bladder, liver aud urinary compl .ints. Hunt’s
Remedy, the great kidney and liver medicine, is indeed
u positive cure, and really is **never known to fail.”
Speaking much is a sign of vanity, for he
that is lavish in words is a niggard in deed.
