For three-score years and ten,
Burdened with care and woe.
She had traveled‘the weary'ways of men,
She‘is tired, and wants to go-
So musing, one afternoon,
With her knitting upon her lap,
She hears at her door a drift of tune,
And a quick, familiar tap.
In flashes a child’s fresh face,
And her bird-like voice sounds gay,
As she asks. “Shall I find you a pretty place,
And read you a Psalm to-day ?"
“Aye, read me a Psalm—Tile Lord
Is my Shepherd’—oft, not fast;
Then turn the leaves of the Holy Word,
Till you come to the very last——
“Where it tells of the wondrous walls

And the shine of the crystal light that falls
In rainbows abdut the throne; -
Where there never are any tears—
You see how the verse so saith—
Nor, pain nor crying through all God’s years,
Nor hunger, nor cold, nor death ;

One single piece in my hands to hold,
But nly feet shall tread on it there!
“Yes, read it all; it lifts
My soul up into the light,
And I look straight through the leaden rifts,
To the land where there's no more night !"
Rising, she nearer stepped—-
How easy it all had been!
The gates had closed as the sleeper slept,
And an angel had drawn her inf

The Gipsy Queen. .
All EXTRAORDINARY STORY OF SUPERSTITION
AND CUPIDITY.
“I could tell you some queer stories about
gypsies," said Mr. Robert A. Pinkerton, the
well—known detective lo a writer of the
N. Y. Star. The remark was suggested by
the case recently reported in the papers of
Matilda Worton, the gypsy queen, who
swindled an Indiana man out of $2,100, and
was traced to Brooklyn, where she was ar—
rested. The man visited her at her camp in
Indiana, and asked her to tell his fortune.
She told ‘him that, in order to get ”super-
natural aid," it was necessary that he should
put $2,100 in an envelope and deposit it in
her keeping. She confiscated the money
and returned to him an envelope stuffed
with brown paper. When he discovered,
the next day, that he had been swindled, he
went to look after the woman, but she had
disappeared. By a shrewd piece of detec-
tive work, she was traced to Brooklyn and
arrested. Mr. Pinkerton said that his father,
Mr. Allan Pinkerton. the veteran detective,
could fill abook with his experiences With
gypsies. For instance, there was, not many
years ago, a case where, through gypsey ma-
nipulation, $15,000 in gold dwindled down
to 50 cents. According to the elder Pinker-
ton’s narrative, there was, on a bright Sun-
day morning in June, 1864, a gypsey camp
on the bank of Red river, about two miles
above Clarksville, Tenn. It was a small
camp, numbering but three men, three Wo-
men and four children—two boys and two
girls. Two wagons, covered when on the
road, but whose covers were removed and
converted into tents when in camp,.stood at
either edge of the little opening. The
Queen of the camp _was a woman apparently
forty-five years of age. It was to this camp
that a young girl, Miss Lizzie Redford, the
' daughter of a neighboring planter, came to
have her fortune told. Taking Miss Red-
ford into her tent, the Queen saidr “Now,
you must know the true gypsey knows every-
thing.” And then, quickly uncovering. her
wrists and showing some mysterious charac-
ters upon them, she continued: “With these
charms nothing can be kept from me—nbth—
ing.” Having thus scared the girl into a
condition with her shrewd manipulation,
and through information already in her pos-
session regarding the Redford family affairs,
she could not only secure any additional in—
formation she might desire, but gave the girl
enough gnlysterious hints at past events to
startle her into a certain conviction of her
supreme powers at divination. Lizzie Red-
ford was wholly in her power. Gradually
the Queen drew from the girl the fact that
her father had $15,000 in gold coin concealed
in his house. “I can work a charm that
will double your father’s gold," said she to
Miss Redford. The upshot of the matter
was that the girl told her father what the
gypsy woman had said. Mr. Redford made
up his mind that he also would visit the
camp and ascertain if it was a fact that his
gold could be doubled. Reaching the camp
he called one of the children to him, and,
putting some money into her tawny hand,
asked the child to tell the Queen that a gen-
tleman wished to see her. The Queen's ears
were very sharp, or her eyes very keen, for,
scarcely had the child time to have got fifty
feet toward the tents,when the Queem voice
was heard giving directions to inform Mr.
Redford that Mr. Redford must come to the
Queen, not the Queen to him. He heard it
—the message was evidently intended for his
ears direct—for before the child had re-
turned, he was stridiug sullenly into the
center of the camp. “Good evening, Queen,"
said Mr. Redford, coming forward to where
the gypsy sat in a comfortable camp chair.
"Good evening,” she said pleasantly, but
still with considerable dignity. “My daugh—
ter Lizzie was here this morning,” he re—
marked. “Yes, she was here, said the for-
tune teller. “How did you find outabout
the gold coin in my garret ?” he inquired-
The gypsy replied to this by raising her
sleeves and holding her bared wrists to the
light of the coals. He looked at them a mo:
ment and saw the magic characters upon
them, and then, without speaking, looked
in her face for an explanation. She further
informed him that, if he would trust her,
she would, by a magic charm, double his
gold. She assured him that he would find
hidden at the roots of a certain mulberry
tree on his place, an old iron kettle, contain-
ing another $15,000 in gold coins to match
his $15,000; but it was impossible to discover
its whei-eabout, with all her power, unless
she had alike amount with which to assist
in working her charm. The next day Mr.
Redford took his $15,000 in gold from his
gal-ret and carried it to the gypsycamp. If
, the poor fool had looked about the camp he
‘could have seen. that everything had been.
made snug; that the harness which hung
upon the wagon boards was freshly cleaned
and oiled; that the boxes and bundles and
packages were [all neatly tied, and the
heaviest of them stOWed away. He gave
the woman his $15,000 in gold, and she told
him that she would return it to his house at
sunrise the next morning. “The sun has to
rise on the charming,"said she.’ “Now, you
go home and wait for me. I will double
your $15,000 by telling you where to find
the other $15,000.” The next morning the
queen was early at the farmer's house with
a bag, which she assured him contained the
gold which he had left with her. Then she
told him to dig at the foot of the tree for
the pot of gold, and, in another minute, she
was gone. The old man dug as directed
but found no treasure. He consoled himself
with the thought that he had his original
$15,000 in gold;
contents of the bag, he‘found, instead of
old coin, a quantity of lead and iron worth
about fifteen cents. He then tried to find
the gypsy Queen and her band, but they had
disappeared. Shortly afterward he died of
grief. One of Mr. Pinkertou's men, Dc—
tectivc Blake, was, however, fortunate
enough to capture the gypsy Queen about a
year subsequent to the events above narra—
ted'. She was found with her band-many
miles from Mr. Redford’s residence, and
nearly all of the stolen gold was recovered.
m
Eugenie’s Last Day in Paris.
When on that terrible September 4th , the
mob forced its way into the Palais Bourbon
and quelled legal opposition by tumult, it
became evident to the Ministers of the Crown
that all was lost, and that the next thing'was
to insure the personal safety of the Empress.
At 1 the Princess Clothilde came to say good
bye to her cousin—she was leaving Paris‘the
following day. From time to time 'the
gallant General Millinet came to ask his
Imperial mistress if it were not best to rca
‘pel by force the mob that was already surg-
ing at the very gates of the palace. The
Empress expressly forbade any violence to
be used. At 2:30 M. Pietri opened the door
and said in a low earnest voice, “Madame
you have only just time.” “Make haste,
Madame,-make haste," exclaimed at the
same moment Prinée Metternich and -' tho
Chevalier Nigra, who had been watching the
movements of the mob below from the win—"
dow. The Empress went hurriedly intoiher
bedroom, put on a brown waterproof cloak
around travelling hat covered with-aveil of
the same color, took a green . parasol,bégan
to collect in great haste all the miniatureh of
the Emperor, of her son. of her sister,,the
Duchesse d‘Albe,_and of her niece, and put
them into a lapis lazuli box, which,howeyer,
in the haste of her flight she was destined to
leave behind. ;
“Make haste, Madame, I bear cries ; they
are mounting the stairs; they are coming i"
cried M. N igra. Prince Metternich went
boldly into the bedroom and took the Elm
press by the arm. ’
“Madame. where are you going?” asked
M. Chevreau. - '
“Metternich will tell you," replied the Em-
press. Then coming back as she was leav-
ing the room, she added, "Say good-bye to
my good sisters of charity, whom I ,was
forgetting, and take care of the wounded 1"
Her first thought eval in the excitement of
this terrible moment, was for others.
Every one had, more or less, lost their
presence of mind. The Empress left without
taking any money with her, although there
were about forty thousand francs in the
drawers.
As Prince Metternich’s coupe was sup-
posed to be stationed. in front of the Louvre
by the Church of Saint German 13Auxerrois,
it was through the famous picture galleries
that the Imperial party fled.
At one moment the Empress, seeing from
the window ‘the'mob' rushing 'into the courts
of the Palace, stopped short and said:
"See? It is too late, we must stay! It is
too late, we cannot pass!” Prince Metter-
nich, however, hurried her on, exclaiming :
“We must. Madame, we must i” At the
top of the Egyptian staircase, _Her Majesty
held out her hand to Messrs. Conti and Con—
neau and said sadly: “You had better go
no further. Something might happen to
you." At last they got out of the Palace
and reached the street. Unluckily, Prince
Metternich’s coachman had stationed the
Ambassador's coupe on the Quay. The
Prince ran to get it; but do ring his absence
the mob, increasing every moment, threat-
ened to overwhelm the little knot of persons
accompanying the Empress. Suddenly a
gamin bawled 'out: “Time! There’s the
Empress l” ’ '
“What, little wretch! Do you dare cry
‘Vive la Prusse’ ?” exclaimed M. Nigra, with
wonderful presence of mind. Just at that
moment a fiacre passed. The Italian Am-
bassador made a sign for it stop, and pushed
the Empress and Madame Le Breton into it.
whispering, “Get in Madame, get in, we
cannot wait for Metternich’s brough an.”
Madame Le Breton gave the. first address
that came into her headpand the cab rolled
rapidly away. The next question was where
were they to go ?It was necessary to get some
money, and obtain a temporary refuge.
They went from house to house; all their
friends were absent from home. Suddenly
a lucky idea struck Madame Le Breton—Dr.
Evans, the celebrated dentist, inhabited an
hotel in the Avenue Malakoff, and the Em—
press could rely upon his loyalty and devol
tion. They drove there without delay, and
although the Doctor was not at home, took
refuge until _his return. Two days later a-
carriage containing Dr. Evans and two
ladies, both closely veiled and Che appar-
ently old, tottering and infirm, drove up to
the door of the Hotel du Casino, at Deau-
ville. The Doctor alighted and engaged
rooms for himself and companions, asserting
that he was accompanied byian invalid lady
who needed the greatest tranquility and re-
pose. The invalid was apparently too ill to
leave her room, and her meals. were passed
through the half~opeued door and taken by
the younger lady. It so happened that Sir-
John Burgoyne’s yacht was lying at that
time in the Bassin de Deauville, on the very
eve of departurefor England. A gentleman
casually said one afternoon to a lady, after
the table d'hote:
“You know Sir John;Burgoyne very well,
I believe i” 4
“Oh, yes,’ was the redly; "I have teaon
board his yacht every day." ,
“Would you mind asking him. then, if he
would be kind enough to take charge of some
very valuable jewels belonging to a lady of
rank, which I want to send iii-safety to Eng-
land '1’” The lady consented. and Sir John
readily promised to take charge of the jew-
els. When. this. favorable reply was made
.known to the gentleman who asked the fav-
or, he hesitated for a moment and then said :
“Since Sir John is so kind. I am almost
tempted to ask him if he would willingly
take charge of the lady herself, incase she
should want to take refuge in England.” I
have no doubt hewould gladly do so,” rer
plied Sir John’s friend. “I will ask him to
night.” When this second request reached
Sir John's ears he began to have some ink-
ling of the truth, especially as the gentleman
who was so anxious about the welfare of this
mysterious lady and her jewels was none
other than a Chamberlain of the Empress.
Of course he consented to take charge of
the lady, and pledged his word as an Eu-
glish gentleman that no harm should
come to :her. This was in the :cven-
ing, and the yacht was to leave at early
dawn. At about midnight a small party,
composed of two ladies and two gentlemen
came on board, and one lady, throwing back
her veil and revealing in the full moonlight
one of the most beautiful faces ever given to
mortal, saidsadly and sweetly :
“I am the Empress. I put myself under
the protection of the British flag and under
the care of an English gentleman i"
Sir John bowed on his knee.
The following morning, when lp‘eople rose
to throng the beach, the (yacht was standing
boldly out token. ”j ' ‘-

Besides being the. most prolific of food
fishes, he is large, easily taken, and quickly
Prepared for market,wbile his different parts
are utilized as generally as those of his land
rival, the hog. Professor Baird says that
besides the muscular parts, the sounds and
nice are. used as food, the oil is valuable for
medical and mechanical purposes, the offal is
converted into a valuable manure, the bones
make good fuel, while the skins serve many
nations for leather and clothing. This fish,
like the more prominent of his relatives, is at
home only in cold water, the latitude of Cape
May being its extreme southern boundary,
while he lives as close to the pole as he can
without risk of being frozen in. He prob—
ably exists farther south than the line indica-
ted above, bnt if so. it is in cool depths foo
retired to admit of successful interviewing.
At certain points OR the Massachusetts coast
he finds a sufficiently low temperature in
shallow water, and at these placesvhe is fre-
quently seen and caught of fishermen, but
his favorite American haunts are the semi—
inclosed waters of the coast of Canada and
adjacent islands. f Fond, hpwe‘ver, as he is of
very cold water,thereare temperatures which
he will under no circumstances en-
dure, even though they be but two or three
degrees removed from the normal. Among
these is-t-he‘ water that comes from“ melting
salt ice, and slo'vvly sinks to the level which
specificgravity entitles it. , In such water the
cod will not remain; he will ficti’go through
it, even though his dinner is on the opposite
side, the distance very short, and cod very
hungry. He prefers to circumnavigate such
an inhospitable region even if he has busi—
ness on the other side, as fishermen have
learned to their own exceeding profit.
There are different varieties of the cod,and
the entire lack of evidence of mixed blood,
and the rarity with which more than' variety
is found in any given locality, prove either
that the cod is a non—migratory fish, or that
he regards the preservation cf caste as a'par-
amaunt duty. . Like aristocrats everywhere,
he is an omniverous feeder. The “dredge"
is considered by naturalists to be the best;
implement with which to obtain information
upon deep-sea life; but Professor Baird says
that the stomach of the cod is the best of all
dredges, fori‘t generallybontains morsels of
‘every sort of marine resident within reach.
With a high-born contempt of the require-
ments of trade, the cod feeds largely upon
herring and mackerel, but he is partial to
crabs, lobsters, and most other shell fish. As
his digestion is not equal to the task of assim-
ilatiug these last—named items of the ocean
menu, he stows them away in the side of his
stomach, and when 'the quantity becomes
burdensome, he disposes of them according
to the method to which Jonah owed his
escape from submarine lodgings. While not
migratory by inclination, any failure or dete-
rioration of his habitual larder will cause
him to remove to the nearest resort of good
livers. Years ago cod-fish were quite plen-
tiful off Newburybort, Massachusetts, but
‘disappearedas the Merrimack River was de-
pleted of fish; since the restocking of the
river, however, with shad and alewives, the
cod has re-appeared at his old dining place,
gladdening the hearts of the fishermen, and
gracing the Sunday breakfast table of the
descendants of the Puritans. '
The cod resorts to the shore for feeding
purposes; but who that is not acook or a
scullion cares always to be in the vicinity of
the dining room ? Naturally he is an off-shore,
deep-water fish, for at a distance from the
land he is always sure of finding those stratas
of cold water in which he delights. There
are times when he will not leave these, even
for food; but the seasons in which fresh~
water fish revisit the scenes of their child-
hood are also the seasons when the water is
cool inshore. While hot weather remains,
with sea.water warm enough to lure human
beings into the surf, the cod abhors the beach,
and takes what food is nearest at hand, pre-
ferring, like summer lodgers elsewhere, to
endure the plainest fare for the sake of cool
quarters. When, however, the temperature
of the water allows him 'to follow the shad
and other fish to the shore, he never travels
alone; if he is not accompanied by a family,
he takes so much company with him that
those who extend hospitable seines to receive
him and take sometimes as many as thirty
thousand fish at a single haul. ..
The cod is wonderfully prolific, depositing
from three _to seven millions of eggs at a
time. It not only prefers to spawn in the
winter months,but in the coldest water it can
find,and yet avoid an icy coverlet; a temper.
store of 32° is the favorite, while nothing
above 40° is tolerated. The largest spawn-
ing grounds of the cod are in the vicinity of
the Loffoden Islands, though the American
members. of the family put up with such
accommodations as they can find near home.
The domestic arrangements of this fishiare so
informal that the eggs have no special abiding
place, nor any protection whatever. 0f the
millions of eggs that are deposited by a
single female, not more than a hundred thou-
sand, probably not more than ten thousand,
result in full-grown fish. Like the small boy
who, if he could not whip a larger. boy,could
atleast make faces at his ”sister, the-smaller
fish upon which the cod preys finds delicious-
revenge in eating the eggs of the latter, while
the mass of “low-down” inhabitants of the
ocean are true to the instincts of low-down-
ers everywhere to prey upon aristocracy,
particularly upon the yoilnger scions there-
of. It is probable, too, that many of, the
eggs which escape the keeueyes of searchers
after delicacies do not becOme fertilized.—

The Democratic majority of the House of

very singular spectacle. It has been for two
days filibustering to prevent progress with'
the public business. The majority of no

Home Friendships.
Living always together, the members of
one family are apt to become monotonous
and uninteresting to one another. Having
had such abundant opportunity, they fancy
they have entirely» fathomed each other, and
that there is nothing more to find out. There
is no longer the attraction of curiosity or the
stimulus of variety. They arevnot vividly
impressed, nor do they feel able to impress
in their turn. So there comes to be a tame-
ness and insipidity about homelife which is
supposed to be inherent in it The feeling
of the uselessncss of effort deadens effort,
and a lukerwarm spiribf calm good- will is
all that is ever aimed at. That is the case in
numerous families may be proved by the
change which they experience on the arrival
'of any valued guest. New life and energy
seem to filter with him and pervade the hith-
erto listless household ; each one feels a new
pleasure and an unwanted desire to please,
which are equally exhilarating; but after his
departure they gradually sink back 'into the
old apathetic routine. Of .course the eager
heart of youth especially cannot be satisfied
with this; it must put out its tendrils and
cling to something; it craves animated inter-
course, warm sympathy, earnest purposes,
strong emotions, and finds them in outside
friendships. ,
_Now, while such attachments are not to
be indiscriminately discouraged, .bringing
their own special advantages and pleasures,
it is to be sincerly deplored that friendships
inside the home are so exceedingly rare, and
that the young are so generally growing up
in the idea that they are impossible. .There
are, of course, many honorable exceptions to
this, where not, only husband and wife have
been life-long and devoted friends, but also
parents and children, brothers and sisters.
Yet the careful preservation of these instan-
ces, and the extreme respect accorded to
them, proves their comparative, rarity.
Probably each of us can recall a few such
cases, which stand out in bold relief against
the multitudes of households who consider
themselves highly blessed if they only suc-
need in avoiding contention and preserving _a
tolerable civility among one another.
Yet it would seem as it nearly. all the ma-
terials for earnest and steadfast friendship
might be found within a circle already joined
by bonds of instinctive affection and mutual
interest. There is sufficient similarity of
taste, purpose, position, to win sympathy;
and there is sufficient variety of age, sex,and
circumstance, to prevent monotony. There
is every opportunity for elevating a natural
fondness into loftier affection, for developing
the germs of respect and love into the rich
and full growth of noble friendship. All the
more delicate relations of sex are fulfilled in
their utmost purity by the friendship of
mother and son, father and daughter, brother
and sister.
under the same roof so often separate and
scatter the affections of childhood, instead
of cementing and strengthening them into
life ?' . ‘
Probably the chief cause of this is that
the people rely on the instinctiveness of
uatural-afiection as being all-sufficient, with-
out effort. They imagine that family love
is strong enough to take care of itself, so
they take but little pains to preserve it from
the shocks and jars of daily life. And they
also suppose they are so well-known to each
other that it is not worth while to present
their fairer side. In all this they are mistaken.
Natural affection offers a fine foundation on
which to erect the edifice of a firm and endu-
ring friendship, but it will not rise up of
itself. We must build it, stone by stone, if
we would possess it. If we have a valued
and respected friend, what pains we take to
cherish ’his friendship; how carefully we
endeavor to prune away from ourselves that
which would, displeasc him and cultivate
those qualities which he admires; how we
strive to gratify him by pleasant surprises
and to avoid all that could wound or trouble
himl Yet, let the familiar house door shut
us in and how many ofus take the'sam‘e
pains? Here we throw of restraint, we air
our worse side, that has been seduously hid—
den, and allow our better qualities, that have
been in full exercise, to fall asleep. How
many of pa anxiously make the most and the
best of ourselves to our own family? How
many of us regard the home as the arena for
giving. not getting, pleasure, for spreading,
not absorbing, comfort? It‘ is the simple
working of a natural and inevitable law ;
that which we sow We shall surely reap. If
we cultivate home friendships with the same
assiduity that we give to those outside, they
will yield as even richer and fairer returns.
There is no friendship so pure and beautiful
in its nature, so rich and full in its power of
blessing or so singularly rare in its occurenoe,
as that between parents and their grown up
sons and daughters. Where the parental
and filial instincts are supplemented-by that
higher and more spiritual affection that binds
together minds in intellectual communion
and souls in heartfelt sympathy, few' deeper
or more delightful friendships can be imag-
ined. The guardian and dependent gradually
lose themselvesin the dear companion .and
true friend‘of later life; and youth becomes
wiser and age brighter, and both nobler and
happier, in this loving "and abiding. union.—

No need foo “a rule to plead" [with her.—
And her rule—days are—all the time!
That old lawmaxim, the textbooks teach,
And thej‘udges regard: “Quifacz't per
All'um, facitper lie," is held
In ineffable scorn by her.
In her person exist together at once
Defendant and judge and jury and cleric
So that one would imagine to win a cause
In this court were an np—hill work;
Yet whenever I sit at the table there,
I fancy a table where only two.
Are company—till I say for myself: ‘
“Though you lose the case, why sue!"
“E’cnithough she demur at first,-—wh-:,-

For the rest of your joint lives made on;

You nuy learn together the legson taught
In respect to Husband and,Wife.”
Still I daily in doubt; though in otherthngs

For a bankrupt heart will be the result
If I’m taxed with the costs of this suit.

_ “Now I'Lay Me.”
I presume that, except the Lord’s Prayer.
there is no form of petition as frequently
used throughbut ‘christeudom as that begin-- .
ing, “Now Ilay me down to sleep." Nor is
it confined exclusively to the days of infancy
and childhood. - I knew a 'dear old man in
Philadelphia, for many years a warden in one
of the chief parishes there, who was heard
almost up to the time of his death, at the
age of eighty—four, repeating these same
words as a part of his daily devotions. And
yet I am inclined, as well from observation
as from inquiry, to believe that the majority
of persons teaching and using this familial-
prayer make a very serious mistake. in one
of its most important particulars thereby de—
parting from its original intent and form.
As usually‘said,'it is as follows:
“Now I lay me down to sleep;
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake,
I pray the Lord my soul to take."
Whereas it ought to be :.
“Now I lay me down to sleep ;
I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake,
I pray Thee, Lord, my soul to take.
One needs but compare the difference to
see a most pregnant distinction between the
two. In the onea mere declaration is made ;
in the other a direct prayer is' addressed to
the Divine Keeper and Savior-—Tlle Church-
man. /
Facts About “A Fool's Errand.”
The author of “A Fool’s Errand" is
Albion W. Tourgee. He was born and
raised in Michigan, and is known by Con.
gressmau Willits of that state. There h-u
studied law and was married, afterward
moving, to Ashtabula county, Ohio, Whicl

Hon. James A. Garfield, to whom Mr. Tour—
gee isiknown. After the close of the war ht;
moved to Raleigh, North Carolina, to enter
the practice of the law. Here he was well
known to Colonel Keogh, the present
secretary of the republican national
committee. Mr. R. C. Badger, Uni

Carolina, who is nowin Washington, sai-f

was most to radical in his views." After :.
struggle of fourteen years, during all of
which time he and his family were ostra

the other day, and General Garfield says its
influence will be a greatassiatance in the figli<

doubt but it will. No better campagin doc«
