Just about a year ago the follows

pub-
lie.
"The silver latch is lifted," and
the gentle, pure, poetic soul of the
writer has gone to the ruyst'c laud
so beautifully de-scribrd by heiself
in the following verses :
''The silver latch is lilted and I ain &oing

Circumstantial .Evidence A
Lucky Escape.
The following narrative, byadigr
tinguisbed English hurgeou, while
it strikingly exhibits the fallible aud
uncertain nature of circumstantial
evidence, affords aluo a convincing
proof of the indispensable necessity
of procuriug medical testimony of
the highest order, in all ciiminal
cases relating to injuries of the per
son :
"As I was passing the Pack-
Horse, Turnhamgreeu, my attention
was attracted by a mob of persons
of the lowest order, assembled
around the door ot that inn, who'
were very loud 5u the'r execrat'ous
against some person who was nuss
pected of having murdered his
brother ; jq corroboiation of which,
I was told that the brother's boues
had been found near the premises
where he formerly resided, upon
view of which a juiy was theu sit
ting, after an adjournment from the
day preceding. I found that two
surgeons had been subpoenaed to
inspect the remains, and I had no
doubt that every information as to
their character had been obtained ;
curiosity alone, therefore, induced
me to make my way into the room,
where I found that the coroner, and,
I believe, a double jury, were sitting
for the second day, aud weie en
gaged in an investigation which
tended to show that a farmer and
maiketgardener at Snttoncourt
farm had, a few yeara before, a
brother living with him, who was
engaged on the farm, but whose
conduct was dissolute aud irregular
to a degree that often provoked the
anger of his elder brother, and
sometimes begot strife and violence
between them ; that the temper of
the elder brother was as little under
control as the conduct of the youn-
crArrftTid.in fine, that thev lived
fy , , 7 V
very uucomfortabl together.
'One winter's night, when the
gound was covered with snow, the
younger brother absconded from the
house (tor they both lived together),
vo lfittinor himself down from his
chamber window ; and when he was
missed tbe ensning morning, bis
footsteps were clearly traced in the
snow to a considerable distance,
nor were there any other footsteps
but his own. Time passed on, and
after a lapse of some few years no
tidings were heard ot h:s ret eat,
uor, perh ips, have there ever b?en
since. Some alferarous m the
grounds sui rounding the house hav.
ing been undertaken by a. subse-
quent .uant (for the cider brother
hai then left tbe fam), a skeleton
was dug up, aud the c;rcumstance
seemed to show so conclusively that
one brother had murdeie 1 the oths
er, that the popular cla-.iiorr was
raised to tbe utmosr, aud a juvy im
paneled to investigate the case.
"After lis'euiug attentively to
these details, 1 ventured to request
of the corouer to be allowed to ex
atniue tbe bones, which I found were
t outlined in a hamperbdsket at
the farther end of the room, aud 1
felt much flattered by his immediate
compliance, for he des?red the pal
ish beadle, who was in attendance,
to p!ace them upon tho table ; ami
Inning myself disposed them in
their natural order, I foiud that
they represented a person of shoit
suture, and from the obliteration
of the suture-s of the skull aud the
worn down state of the teeth, mu$t
have belonged to an aged pertou.
But what was my surprise when I
leconstructed the bones of the skol
etou, and fouud the lower lones of
the irunk to be those of a female.
I immediately communicated the
fact to the jury, and requested that
the two medical men who had be
fore given their opinions might be
sent. for, one of whom attended, and
without a moment's hesi ation corn
roboiat-id my repoit.
"I need not add that the proceed
ings were instantly at an end, aud
an innocent man received the a made
honorably in the shape of ?u apolo
gy, from-all present, m which the
coroner heartily joined. It has
since been proved beyond all doubt,
that the spot where the bones were
found was formerly the site of a
largo gravel-pit, in which hordes of
gypsies not only assembled, but oc
casionally burled their dea.1, and,
peihaps, more skeletons are yet to
be found in that vicinity."
The narrator of this occurrence
may well lc ok back upon it with
pleasure, and congratulate himself
upon having been, to use his own
words, "the happy instiusceut in
the hands of Provideuce of reaa'ng
a worthy and innocent mau fia
the obloquy, aud perhaps the fate,
ot a ma derer."
Duties oTFarnts 'o Ikildreu.
One of the most important duties
of a psreut ia b inglng up a child is
to prevent tbe child irom doug it

know it, aid it ;s her duty to have
the child's supp'y of sweeta and

lected, is not likeiy to retu u, nor
that its future happiue?s and such

school now affords. The parent- do
kuow these things, and it is their
duty to persaade, urge and, it nee

A New Yoik firm w ;ote t'lis let
ter to a Connecticut postmaster:
We desire in each county a p!?ee

bus'ness man, mechanic and real
estate owner in every State I y ci'

sameyour lawful attent on, send
out daily 50 to one hnmired during
the coming months until they are
all out, and theu render us sWe
ment of same, with account foi
stamps usad ajd we will remit
The head ot tbe firm which pent
tb.1.1 letter was arrested for a crime
against the United State?. Tuero
was no charge that be was engaged
in any unlawful business or that
the circulars were objectionable iu
any way: No bonus or other in
duceuients was offered to the post,
master The postmaster did vol
comply with the request, and noth
ing further was heard from the wii
ter of the letter.
What was the crime ?
An act passed by Congress in
1873 prob'bttice: its postmasters
from selling or ditposiDg of postage
stamps except for cash. Another
law makes it a er'urual offence for
any person to atteupt to induce a
postmaster to do auj' act m viola
tion ot his lawful duty. Under
these statues the Supreme Court of
the "United States holds that the
ending of the above let:er was a
criminal offence. The postal aster,
it reasons, was asked to furnish
stamps on credir, and was promised
that if he woulil, a large lot would
betaken. As the jostinaster rei
ceived a commission from the gov-
eminent on the amount of samps
sold, the offer, according to the
Court's view was a bribe to induce
bm so sell ou credit iu violation o2
the law. Justice Gr&y reasoned it
out iu this way :
The . postmaster was asked
whether if the fi-ni sent from five
to ten thousand circulars iu ad
dressed envelopes Uts would pfc
stamps n theiu awd wail tke ;f
ha would, an accoant f Uio stamps
used the firm weald lemit.
If we trke five thousand, thi
smallest number of circulars pro
posed to be sent to the postmaster,
and one hundred, the largest uum
ber to be mailed by him daily, n
would require fifty daysfer the post
master to send out the e:rcu'atjf.
The petitioner would thus be aN
lowe l an average credit of at least
tweutyfive days ou his paymeuts
to the postmaster for five thou
sand postage stamps, and the pust
master wou'd receive and retain a
commission on the sale ot as many
stamps, which neither he nor any
other postmaster would retain if the
circulars were mailed by the peti
tioner at the Post Office in New
York, or any other iost office where
the postmaster was paid by a sala
ry.
If the letter was not an offer of
money to the postmaster it was
clearly a tender of a ont act for
the payment of money to him with
intent to induce him to sell postage
stamps for credit in violation ot
bis lawful duty.
That is pretty fine reasoning to
maka out a crime. But now that
the highest court of the nation has
expouuned the law to this effect it
will be well for postmasters as well
as business men to make a note of
it. iV. Y. Herald.

A Fortunate Aakelng
On the eve ot a new year, au old

with th eye of Uespa'r, tk i
movable, starry sky, aud down upon
the siow-ccvered tartb. on which
there was no I eug more joyless
than hi?:!seP; for his head was
frosted with age, b's energies debil
itated, and his mind desolated. The
beautiful, days of bis youth, like so
mrny spec ern, dragging bm b-ick
to that e'ear, sunny morn, when his
father first pointed out to him the
journey of bfe the right road, vir
tue's path, leading ihto a peacetnl
land, lnl" of light iod bliss; but tLe

traveller into a black den, where
were pestilential airs, poisouous
reptiles and all misery.
A'as! the viper's sting was now
iu his bosom, the poison upon his
tongue, and he k -ew that he Lad
at ained the dreadful end of the
wrong course. Frantic with de
spondency, be cried :
"Give back io me my youth ! Oh !
father, place me agaio ou the thres
hold of my time, that I may choose
better I'1
But his father and his youth had;
long since gone by. He bebeld me
teors dancing on tbe damp ground,
and extinguished in tbe graveyard.
He said: "Ihey are my foo'ish
days." He saw a star tail irom
heaven, glimmer and exp'ie. "That
is I," said his stnckeu conscience.
and the serpent-tooth of remorse
dug deeper and deeper into the
wounds of his soul.
His gloomy imagination exhibited
to him demon-sprites on the roof-1.
while a skeleton in tbe cbarne'
house seemed gradually to assume
his own form. In tbe midst of hi
agony, he bes?rd the foft, solemn
' music from the church announcing
the new year. He thought of the
friends of his chMhood, now hap
p er and be :e; than he, beHefactora
ot the world, venerated parents of
grateful children, blessed by all tLe

"Oh ! I. too, might slumber to

parents dear, had I but followed
your wishes, your iustructious.''

And they did cotno again, for he
had only so horribly dreamed. He

been no illusion ; and on his kuets
