She fanoied that night that life was too delicious a thing to be indulged in freely, and she, murmured something of the fancy with half a laugh, W There are times when we all feel that life is more than we de serve," he answered.

"Bring him the quioker," she whispered "bring him the quioker," and went back to the others. ; They are talking of the flags and bul rushes that grew by Lender's lake, a sheet of water in the neighboring woods; and shA was eager to hear the details of the direction there, for she" shared the popular frenzy raging just then for bul rushes, and thonght of all things she should like some great bunches of the soft brown velvety things in the vases to-morrow. "I believe if I rose early," she said, "I oould be there and back before eleven." . "Why eleven!"- said Mallory, lazily. " Oh, I have an engagement at that hour," she replied, bending her head a little, that he might not see the color creeping up. " I am at your service," he said.

Darin or the five veers enSW TWam. ber, 1875, there were two hundred and eighty-one murders committed in the dtj of New York.- Some of them were premeditated, many of them . were un provoked, and a large majority were ut terly without oalliation. NeverthdaM. outof all this appalling number of man amen, prepetrators who suffered death were only seven. Only twentv-foor were sent to prison for life. . And, reviewing una areadfol list we discover that more than one-fourth of the criminals were never brought to trial at alL Soma of them escape, and are never followed np and arrested. A few have ended their own Uvea after, they have committed crime, and more evade detection. These are ia hidintr to this dav. PowdblT of them, varioasly disguised, return to taeir oia naanw and Uve securely, in the belief that VVhe thins has blown over." TJnb'.pIly, these dark events crowd on each ther so rapidly that; a year's immunity to a red-handed crimi nal Is like a complete amnesty, p If be is not at once caught, he may elude justice forever. Even if he is found and tried, the ohanoes are that he will esoape any serious panishmeut . , The year 1872 saw a frightful increase in tne number of violent crimes annual ly committed inNew York There were flfty-flve murders committed. 'Among sue nomioides of 1872, that pf Fisk will be most memorable. Stokes was sent to prison for four years. The killing of Thomas Donahue by John Scannell, who was finally sent to an insane asylum, was another notorious crime in that year. But althougn it is reckoned that more than one hundred and fifty persons were widowed or orphaned by one year's vio lent deeds, not one offender was brought to suffer the extreme pendty of the law; only twenty wore sentenced to fifteen years, or less, In the State prison, five received a life sentence, and seventeen escaped through the meshes of the law, six fled to parts unknown, and the rest eluded justice to various ways. There Is no need to pursue, this unpleasant suDject through suooeeding years. But it may be noted, in passing, that the records show that of the fifty-three mur ders oommitted in 1873. eighteen of the perpetratois escaped utterly and without aetenuon. jsew ror Timet. . A Montreal Romance. The MoEenzie-Brydgos elopement seems to have more of romance than scandal In it . Mrs. MoEenzie is still a young woman although the mother of four children. Mr, Brydgee, senior, says : All this trouble Is the result Af foolish escapade by two young persons who are in love with each other. I am sorry that so much has been said about it for the couple cannot be charged with criminality. They behaved toward each other with perfect pronrintv. um v4a. tering asusband and wife, and always ocoupying separate rooms wherever they stopped.
