Advice to Girls.
Yon may talk about your lovers who swear,
To love you forever aud a day,
And fay you aro the fairest of fair,
And sweet as the rose In May. "
Perhaps he may think sd, who know?,
Foi a month or two,—maybe a year,
If he tarries that long then lie goes
Aud never again conies he near.
There's a loyer who's constant aud true,
And who stlcketh as close as a brother,
Whose love you'll ne'er have cause to rue.
That lover, dear girls, is your mother.
Stie'll love you "till death do you part,"
And prove it, b\ tenderest love,
Ton may pillow your head on her heai t,
Aud find sweetest comfort there.
She will soothe all yonr troubles and grief,
Girls always have more than their share,
She will give you the sweetest relief,
Aud make them all STTCTII light as air.
So, girlß, if vou must be in love,
As you all are at some time or other,
Don't let your dear hearts longer rove.
But fall dead in love—with your mother.

EQtAL TO THE EMEBGENCY.
BY K. H, 11.
A bank in a western city bad beer.'
robbed of twenty thousand dollars in
gold, and two yoaug inou, strangers,
who had failed Jc give a good account of
themselves, were Arrested aud detained
on suspicion. The bank, meantime, Was
doing its utmost to recover lire money,
aiyd got it at last. Then immediately the
word was passed through the city (hit
the suspected parlies would be brought
out on a writ ol habeas cotpus, and their
release demanded, ou the ground that
there was no evideuce of their having
been in any way cauuccted with the
robbery.
This announcement brought a large
number of the leading businessmen to the
court house immediately. A great crime
had.been committed, which was, as they
believed, about to be covered up. and
the offenders permitted logo nnpunishod,-
an arrangement of (hat kind having been
regarded by tho interested parties as the
most ready and conveni&nt way to
coyer the missing money,
Tho prisoners were accordingly brought
out and their release demanded, when
tho attorney representing the State pro
ceeded to examine iu a brief aud hasty
manner, half a dozen witnesses, includ
ing a couple of deputy BheriSs, also
sotQc of tho offioci-8 of tho bank, uot oue
of whom, acoording to tho testimony
elicited, knew any facts that would con
uecc the defendants with the al'eged
robbery. The money had been restored
in fuil, it having been handed by a
stranger, who, uot having been caroluily
noticed, could not be minutely descried,
The sherig'B deputies bad as they
staled, taken tlfo defendants in k close
carriage, at night, to a spot on the lake
shore three miles away, they indicating
the spot to be visited, but the officers
not knowing for what purpose tbey were
taking thom there. Meantime, two oth
er witnesses, equally sagacious and reli
able, hud seen the carriage stop iu the
night over a certain spot on the shore.
The carriage remained stationary for a
tow moments, and niter it was driven
away, the men proceeded, to tbe spot
and found a pocket handkerchief, wheth
er dropped trorn the carriage ot not
tboy did not kuow, but tbey immediate
ly proceeded to dig at that spot to
the depth of four feet, where tbey found
a lightly closed tin box, which tbey did
uot thiuk best to opou, and, of course,
had uo knowledge as to its oontents.
They brought the box away, however,
but after carrying it some distance, gave
it to a stranger who met them, aud saw
it uo more.
Other testimony of a similar character
was added, lncludiug that of tbo man
who took the box to tho bank in the
night and handed it to a person who was
bailing to receive it through a rear win
dow. Noue of these witnesses were
able to tell what was in the box, uor the
uames oi the parties for whom it was re
ceived or to whom it was given, but
when tbe box was received aud opened
at tbo bank r tbe stolen money was
received and opeued at the bank, tho
•tolen money was fodud there.all right.
The judge, while listening to tbis tes
timony, had readjusted and arranged bis.
fipectacles a dozen times, as if trying to
get them iu a position that would enable
bim to discover tbe relation between tbe
different parts of tbe evideuce.
Tbe examination, although taking «
wide range, bad been gone rapidly over
aud tbe attorneys for the State as well as
those wbo were guarding the interests
of tbe deieudauts soon announced that
tbey were ready for t hia Honor's deoisiou.
A disturbed look, indicating a Reeling oi
deep indignatiou rapidly forming, pass*

ing from one to another of the spectators,
while afi were anxiously wailing to hear
what order the judge was propping to
give.
'There does not appear (o he any ltigal
reason for holding the prisoners,' his
Honor finally remarked; and he would
have said at the next moment, 'the sher
iff will therefore release thorn'' but these
words were not spoken.
'Hold on right there, your Honor 1'
rang through the court room, with a
thrill liko a stroke from au electrical bat
tery. ¥
'Order! Orderl' cried the judge, rap
ping loudly, while the other officers of
tlio court rc-cclmcd the ory. liut tbeir
words were not heeded, for another or»
der.'Go on, Glendou! we aio with you!'
at the same iiutant rang through the
place. Springing suddenly forward, and
placing himself in a m>ra prominent po
sit ion, Telibrd Glendou continued r
'lii the name of the State I protest
against the farce now being enacted, and
demand the return of the prisoners to the
jailiroTO which they were taken. When
brought out again, I will appear on be>
half of the people, and intend to convict
tlicui on the testimony of the same men
to whose caricatures of what actually
occur red ) our Honor has becii listoi.-
ing.' - "
•Go in, Glendou 1' was again respond*
ed,'as if with one voice; the rap pings
and ealls for order being iu llic meantime
disregarded,
A few days later the defendants wore
again arraigned for trial, the prosecution
being conducted by young Gleudon. A
verdict of guilty was obtained, and 'he
men were sentenced to prt«|t|ar several
years.
And who, now, was this Telford Glon
don, who came so suddenly to the front
at that -critical inomont? A young law
yer, Scarcely twen'y-flvo years of age.
lie had been admitted to the* bar about
twelve mouths before, but his quiet and
reserved deineaitor had given Hie impres
sion that there was not quite enough
'-snap" iu him to make a Western law-
yer, and up to that time be had had but
little to do. But his bold aud intrepid
rush to the rescue ot justice and right in
that perilous moment, famished the'key
uoio to his whole subsequent lifo, and al
though tho time never came when bo was
called upon to perform a similar act, yet
every one knew that when a bold, reso
lute and relentless exposure ot injustice
and fraud was required, Glendou was
there.
The above story i 9 no fancy sketch,
but an actual occurrence that took place
about thirty years since; names changed,
of course. If the true numes were given,
the hero of the story would' be recog
nized fts a We!l-knowii jurist and author,
uow living.
Elegance of Home
I never saw a garment too fiuo for
man or maid : there never was a chair
too good for cobbler or cooper, or a king
to sit in; never a lionse too fine to shelter
the human head. These elements about
lis, the glorious sky, tho imperial sun,
are uot too good for the human race.
Elegance fits man. Bat do we not valuo
these tools for bouse keeping a little
more Lban they are worth, and some-,
times mortgage a bouse for Mie mahogany
we bring iuto it? I bad rather eat my
dinuer off the head of a barrel, or dross
after the fashion ot John the Baptist in
the wilderness, or sit on a block all my
life, tban consume all my life beforo 1
got to a home, and tako so much paias
with tbo out side that tbe was as
hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a
groat thing, but beauty of garmeut, house
and furniture are tawdry ornaments
compared with domestic bve. All tbe
elegance in the world will not make a
home, and I would give more for a
spoonfnl of teal hearty loye tban for
whole ship loads of furniture, and all the
gorgeousness all the upholsterers 'in tho
world can gather.
'By Gawge, tollahs, I had a delightful
dweam last night. I dwemt, you know,
that I was iuvited to a banquet. The
tablo was just fweighted down with
tempting gwub and costly wines. Ahl
it was a delicious dweam.'
Just at this moment a hnngry looking
tramp, who had paused to listeu, bawled
out:
aay, Mister, if them's tbe sort of
dreams yer hev, I'd [est like to buuk
with yer to-night.'
Conversation between two school boys:
'l've been down to hate my head felt by
a phrenologist.' 'What did he say?' 'Oh,
he said I bad a groat braiu, but my body
wasu't equal tp it, aud told my gov'uor
be'd orter take me out o* school lor a
year, aud }uat ] e t me play, to rest and de

Glimpse of Schnndau,
Correspondence of the Hartford Cournnt.
To the uiost of the readers of the
Courant. the name at the head of thia
letter will suggest little or nothing,- but
to the tew who have tasted the beauties
ot what the Germans, with a little par
donable exaggeration, have called the
Saxon Switzerland, the name will recall
the central point ot iutero«t in that wild
picturesque, and most attractive re D ion,
on the banks of the Elbe, auovo Drcsedeu
and {ust on the border of Bohemia. It
sceins a good Way off fronj Hartford, and
I can hardly couyoy to you what a re
mote feeling one has from all the world
indeed, 111 those distant solitudes, close
b'y tho sides of llie dark, broad ,» strong
river, which every hour sweeps by the
rafts and barge from tho Bohemian
forests. I have visited this place twice
before, but it lift's au uuendinsr charm
and as a freak of nature, it is quite as
wonderlul us the lllliiio region. For iu
the distant days of tho world's history
the Elbo must fi ivu formed a great lako
above here, whore it had no outlet to the
sea, and either by the Ibrco of the accu-*
mutated waters, or by joiiio outbreak of
volcanic forces, the river has clover, a
winding passage through the mass of
sandstone which blocked its way, aud
has left, in somo places, long lines ol
wall, hundreds of teet iu height, in others
great fortre&sMike masses, whfch are
singularly grand aud majestic, ■- **
As you sail up the river lrom Dresden
you approach the regiou by no easy
transitions, but all at once, about three
( i 9
hours sail above the Saxon .capital, you
enter the chasm, which the Elbe has
made. First there is tfye groat soam, the
walls being nbont three or four hundred
fdoi bigb, in some places with green
fields and vineyards climbing up tho
sides a little way, but generally bare and
gaunt. But ero long you come in View
of. the first gr.*at wonder, the Uas|e)',. or
Hitstio;i, a bold lieadlaUd ot rock with
550.teet of direct dc3cent. Tho rim is
protected by an jron lence, at»3. li'bio ii
you can toss a stone into the ElbQ.ot your
feet. Never have I had aHVieV' BO full -of
tho weird chai'm which i$ gained from
lliis high point,* for I have never stood
so noar the edge of a wall over five hutis
dred feet in height before. * * * *
lint not even this great height iu the
chief wonder ef the Saxon fcjwjtzcrlaiid.
Just across the way, and over = tlio river
rises a rock more (ban ft thousand tcet
ill height, on tho summit ol which
stands the only fortress in Europe which
has never been taken by an enemy.
This is the Yomous Konigstein, or Mount
Rovale, and within its walls the im«
mense treasures of the Saxon royal lam
ily have been secreted for immemorial
times, during eras of war. This was
done even as lately as 1760, when SaX»
ony sided wilt Prussia against Austria
and when had the latter not been cons
quered at Konij,rai2, this Saxon fort
must inevitably yielded. For though it
stands ou a block of stone more than a
thousand feet high, it too is dominated
by the huge block called the Liilieiisleiu,
which ii more than eleven hundred teet
high and it would uot have been impossi
ble to draw.heavy cannon to its summit
and ehatfertho old fortification oi Kou
nigsiein. For strong as the fortress
seems, yet it is only so for tho iuabi lity
of any enemy to attack it with the old
fashioned means ot ae&ault, Against the
tremendous engines of modern times, it
would oiler very little resistance. But it
it is a great curiosity. It contains sup
plies sufficient to maintain a garrison of
a thousand men for three years it has a
well 1,300 feet doep cut through the
solid rock; and the approach through
tho wall is so crooked aud guarded that
one gets the impression ot a strength
( which i« quite overwhelming. But the
| view from the ramparts quite repays the
slight eflort required to reach the spot.
A long aud circuitous, but gently graded
and thoroughly finished load leads from
the river side to the top; aud you may
walk, or you may ride as ease and energy
may dictate. l
There are tbreo points ot tbo greatest
grandeur, the Baster, the Koulgstefn and
the Lilieusteiu/ but easy walks and
drives take you to natural, bridges, to
oaverns, to points of wide and beautiful
outlook, and tbe scenes of great historic
interest iu connection with the persecu
ted Moraviaus. Into oue of these primi
tive settlements 1 penetrated twenty-six
years ago, where still the earthly saluta
tion was not as elsewhere, -Good morn-,
ing,' but 'Praised be Jesns Christ;' to
which the answer was 'To all eternity;
amen.' This seems strange, perhaps in •
credible; 1 presume it hae quite faded
out by tbis time, but it tells ol an epoch
of religious persecution, when tbe poput
Jar speech was saturated with similar
Pliiuseb, Even we in our 'Good' bye,'
■ay' God be with yon;' but the old
memory baa quite gone from the words
which were onoe fraught with piety .
Ot course, if goes without sayiug, that
this is a region lull ol tourists; where
traveling in rnado delightful by all the
expedients which/music, good boats, ex
oelleut hotels, horses, carriages and
guides can make a slay pleasant and rest-
Inl. And down here in the valley, by
the sido of the river, tltera is a peculiar
placo. In trout ot the holel aro pleasant
arbors, beneath which are many little
tables, where the guests lake their break*
fast and toa; largo gardens are in view,
full ofgrcemicns and beauty; little booths
| are ranged along by the river side,
where fruit and Bohemian glassware
and all manner ot dandy knickuacks can
be bought; up and down the streets pats
the German women carrying their huge
baskets of provisions on li|e. r backs, for
iu this country the best beast ot burden
is the peasant womau; the steamers lie
at the wharves, ready to go Hp (he river
to Bohemia aud dowu the river to Dres*
den, and all aroitnd:&r*, the plcasar.t
faccd, well-dressed .tourists, irom . all
parts ol the world. * , * - *
At Dresden was .passed four days of
almost American heat and we were glad
to gel away. But how beautiful'it fo!
|No wonder groAt current of
travel sets toward it,' for it-Is one of the
most fascinating cities in the world.
Who will forget the place where the old
bridge and the brybj terrace, and the
rova 1 palace and the cathedral aud the
theater aud the picture gallery, aud the
Belvedere hotel make a group which iu
architcciuralclfgiiity amfgrace has per*
haps no superior iu the" world? Who
does not return to it with renewed de*
light? But it has been so ofleu described
that I shall not attempt it.
I should like to givo tbo readers ot the
Coyrant an instance of red lapeism, ol
which I think with leeiisgp of blended
amusement and indignation, lion lino .is
certainly the bete qoir ot this German
nation. Last Sunday, for example, niter
two or three days ot almost Aineiicuu
heat, one ot oar own bursts of .wiud and
rain visited tho city. And while the tots
rents came down, it was droll to sec the
watering earls pursuing their o?-dinory
functions, and swelling a little the tor
ient of water which tor the time deluged
i he'streets. Even tho Gei m&lis thought
it (Jroll aud admitted that without pu'il
liuS,trivet' might assume that it wiuld
be safe lo stop till the shbwer had passed.
Bnl the''Oen'oan official has 110 piargiu
allowed him for discretion; apropos ot
which I will toll the little story Which 1
threatened to recount" a lew lines above.
I had ordered a picture flrom Leipzig,and
had teceived from the dealer a postcard
1 saying that ho had duty seut it through
the mail aud that I might remit to him
tbepri;e. So going from the letter des
, partineut to the package department, I
gave the letter of my correspondent to
the official m charge. lie read it (it was
iu German,) and thcu said: 'Tho pack*
age is here, but 1 cannot give it lo you
merely on the strength of this.' 'What
more do you require,' I said, 'than the
original letter of the man who has sent
me the the packago?' Thou followed his
list of what I must have in order to take
my pictu.ie away, lie spoke in an o\>-
scuie aud excited manner, but it was
evident that uothing short of my pass*
port would answer. 'But I have 110 pass
port; I have, however, what is bc-t(er,my
letter of credit on tho houre of Barings
in London.' 'Very good,' he said, «but
that will do nothing in Ibis case.' 'Very
well, there are letters just received irom
Loudon addressed to me, will not they
do to show that I am the right man to
take away the package,' Not at all; it
you have no passport, Jyou might bring
some one to cerlity to your identity.'
'But I am a trayelcr. I haye 110 ac
quaintance in Dresden, and want to
leave for Sehandau ou the morning boat.'
'Well, I can't give you tho package with-'
out a certificate of legitimation from the
police.' That begau to look like a month's
slay in Dresedn to get a two dollar pic
ture out oi the post office. I expected to
have to write to America to get cerlitis
cates of birth, baptism, church member
ship, vaccination, also whether my father
was white or colored, occupation, means
of support, married or siugle, with my
wife's original name if married, reasoa
for traveling, whether iu sound mind,
aud lastly whether I came to get my
package of my own free act and deed.
Fortunately the official, seeing my anxs
iety referred me to the director, whom I
found in his stately quarters, not uuap*
proachable however, and being a man of
sense, on the sight of my letter from
Leipsig, he instantly sent down the order
tor my picture to be delivered. Moral:
in countries where no pasaport is re«.
S wired it is a good thing to have one; or
ailing that, any document will do, pro- |
j Tided.it is heavily freighted with sealiug
wax, Nothing moves red tape hero like 1
the tight of big wax seals,
