Found dead ! dead and alone ! There was nobody near, nobody near When the outcast died on her pillow of stone- No mother, no brother, no sister dear. Not a friendly voice to sooth or cheer ; . Not a watching eye, nor a pitying tear. Oh ! the city slept when she died alone In the roofless street on a pillow of stone. Many a weary day went by, [bread. While wretched and worn she begged for Tired of-life, and longing to lis Peacefaily down with the silent dead ; Hunger and cold and scorn and paih Had wasted heeform aud seared her brain, Till at last on a bed of frozen ground. With a pillow of stone was the outcast found. Found dead! dead and slong, On a pillow of stone in the roofless street ; Nobody heard hor last faint moan, - Or knew when her sad heart ceased to beat : No mourner lingered with tears or sighs, But the stars looked down with pitying eyes, And 'the chill winds passed with a wailive sound O'er the lonely spot where ber form was found.; Found! yet not alone ! 'There was somebody ussr--ayo He was near Who saffered no man to cast the first stone When aa outcast erst shed a repentant tear. Perhaps He beheld that grief and despair, Perhaps on His feet fell her floating hair, , Forgiven, and snatched from the edge of the pit, With Rakab and Mary in heaven to sit. -& A gentleman on Long Island asked a Rev. friend to take a glass of wine with _him, but his friend declined, saying he was a Bible temper- ancé man. \Why said the gentleman, \there is no such character in the Bible as a cold water. teatotaller, with one exception, and that was the rich man who called for a drop of water with which to eool his tongue, and he was in where he ought to be.\ - 4p - This neat hit is from the Boise, Idiho States map ; \The weather has been hot again for the last few days.

A very singular story has come to our notizve, illastrative of the strange freaks sometimes play. ed by lotteries. A gentleman well known in military circles in this city, mude an investmont to the extent of one ticket in the Sacramento Lottery,. He purchased at the time time first tickets that were off red for sale. Ee had par- cused dozens of lottery tickets before, and fild never herctofore has had the fortune (or migfor- tuue) to draw a prize. Ile halt become com- pletely disgusted with bis ill-luck, and bad de- teimiued newer to buy another ticket. - But whan. the Sueramento Lottery tickets were offered, he, unucra whim of the moment, resolved to pur- chase une only, and to seal (it in an envelops without looking wh the number until the drawing should have taken place, and Ge could have a complete li:t before him. . le carried out his resolution. - Last evening, with a full list of the prizes at hand, he opened his envelope. He had been so many times ,unfortunato, that he really bad no expectation of drawing a prize, but still be had a faint hope that his luck would change. On tearing open the envelope with an effected aoucha'lence,. judge of his astonishment on find- ing that be had drawn-nothing. Moral : If you want to be sure of a lucky number, don't look at it ontil it draws something.-N. ¥, Stur. -- *i D> man A very intercsting case was tried recently be- fore Justice Wileos, of Easton, Washington Co. The facts are as follows ; Henry Burch owned a large Newfoundland dog ; a very quiet, pesca- bile fellow that had been trained to play with children, draw them in a wagon, drive cattle, rug a sewing machine, keep meat from spoiling, and many other useful tricks.. The dog went 'on Sunday, with Mr. Burch's hired man, upon the premises of John Whitaker, who owns a small vat-terrier dog. | 'This dog, jealous of the acquire- ments of his shaggy neighbor, and forgetful of the respect due to great intellectual abilities, as- saulted Mr. Burch's dog. The bystanders tried to part them, but could not, whereupon Whita- ker drew a pistol and shot Barch's dog dead- These facts appeared upon the trial, and the jury rendered a verdict of $45 for Burch.. anno _ <G bt Gime _ Jealousy in children is rarely fatal, but it proved so in a recent case in Yorkville, Canada.
