awake, add my eye fixed upon her's with @ severe,
penetrating expression.
* Madame,’ said I, in a low, stern, measured tone,
‘if you would save your guilty life, do not attempt
to escape or call tor help! Iam not the poor fool
you su 1! You have played your part and I
mine! Te nes flatter yourself that I have been en-
soared! 1 know you, and boldly came here to detect
you in your guilt ! Not a single drop of your poisoned
wine hus passed my lips! Your whole establish-
ment is under the surveillance of the police; and
unless I return to my friends by daylight your
mansion will be entered by the dread oflicers of the
Jaw, and every living soul in it will be taken into
custody! Now mark well what I say! You must
instantly yourself conduct me tlear of your premises
aod if you dare to falter in the least, that, moment,
so sure as there is a God in Heaven, you die! Now
give me your hard and Jead the way !’
White with terrified amazement, and trembling
like ap aspen, the guilty, wretched woman stood
cowering before my stera, penetratiag glance. For
nearly a minute she seemed too much overpowered
to leave the room. I took her band, and grasped it
like a vice, and silently pointed to the door, At
length she went forwerd with tottering steps. In
silence she led me through the dark corridor, down
the stairs, through the passage, into the court,
through another passage, and opened the last door
that admitted me to life and light.
Morn was just breaking; and as I felt the cool
air of Heaven upon my fevered brow, and thought
of my narrow escape from death, there cama such a
whirl of strange emotions that I reeled forward like
one intoxicated !
The mansion I had just qnitted, stood on the
banks of the Seine, about two miles below the old
city; and I believe, if I had drunk the wine offered
me, my rifled body would soon have been cast in the
rushing waters. I believe, moreover, the mansion,
grand as it appeared, was only a den of robbers and
murderers ; that the woman was simply a beautiful
decoy for foreigners and strangers : and that many a
peor, unsuspecting soul, had taken its fight from
there to the eternal world! I did not communicate
with the police, for reason that, in the first place, I
could bring no charge of gnilt against any; but
thankful beyond expression for my own escap2, I
firmly resolved never to risk my life again in
another mysterious adventure in Paris.
EARNING A WIFE.
*And so you want to marry my daughter, young
man,’ said farmer Allen, removing his pipe from his
mouth, and looking at the young fellow sharply from
head to toe.
Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air, which was
mainly the result of his education, Luxe Johnson was
a fine looking fellow, and not easily moved from his self-
possession ; but he colored and grew confused beneath
that sharp, scrutinizing look.
‘Yes, sir. I spoke to Miss Mary last evening, and
she referred me to you.’
The old man’s face softened.
*Molly isa good girl, a very good girl,’ he said,
stroking his chin with athoughtful air, - and she de-
serves a good husband. What can you do?"
The young man looked rather blank at this abrupt
inquiry.
* If you refer to my ability to support a wife, I can
assure you
*I know you are a rich man, Luke Jobnson, but I
take it for granted that you ask my girl to marry you
not your property.

to use them ? Again I ask, what can you do ?
This was a style of catechism for which Luke was quite
unprepared, and he stared blankly at the questions,
without speaking.
‘I believe that you managed to get through college—
have you an "vee we i?
*No, sir, I thought—’
* Have you any trade?’
* No sir, my father thought with the wealth I should
inherit, I should not need any.’
* Your father thought like a fool then, He'd much

life. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.’
*And you want to marry my daughter?” revumed
the old man, after a tew vigorous puffs at his pipe.
* Now, I’ve given Molly as good advantages for learn-
img as any girl in town, and she basn’t thrown 'em

daughter should be a pale, spiritiess creature, full of
dyspepsia, and &@ll manner of fine-lady ailments, instead
of the smiling, bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked lass she is. 1
did say she would marry no Jad that had been carsed
with a rich father; but she’s taken a foolish liking to

yourself to be a man; perfect yourself in some occu-
pation—I don’t care what, if it be honest, and then
come to me, and if the girl is willing she is yours.’
As the old man said this, he deliberately knovked the
ashes out of his pipe against one of the pillars of the
ch where he was sitting, tucked it inte his vest
et, and went into the houre.
Pretty Mary Allen was waiting down at the garden
te, their usual jp place. The smiling light
Rica from her eyes as she noticed his sober, discom-
fited look.
‘Father means well,’ she said, as Luke told her the
result of bis application.
*And I am not sute but that he is about right,’ he re-
sumed, after a thoughtful pause, * for it seems to me
that overy man, be he rich-or poor, ought to have some

Then, as she noticed her lover's grave leok, she
softly:

jee cae, much to the earpeios of his gay as-
. But wherever he went, he carried with him
in bis exile these words, and which were like a tower of
strength to his soul, * Vit wait for you, Luke.’
‘One pleasant sunsbiny morning, late in October, as
farmer Allen was propming up the grape-vine in his
front yard, that threatened to break down with the
» aveight of ite luxurious burden, a neat looking cart drove

| She blushed and emiled as she saw Luke, and then
turning her eyes upon her father, waited dutifully for
what he had to gay,
The old man regarded his daughter for a moment
with a quizzical look,
‘Molly, this young man—mayhap you have seen him
before—has bronght me a lot of tubs and barrels, all of
hisown make— right good article too, He asks a
pretty steep price for ‘em; but if you are willing to

Aa Mr. Allen eaid thia, he considerately walked out
of the room, and we will follow his example. Bat the

The very flower of our corps of correspondents, while
eres at ——-, vouches for the following: tLast
night while lying down in my chamber and being un
able to sleep, deliciously cool as it was, I could not
help overhearing, from the thinresa of the partition and
the open transoms, adialogue between the occupants
of the adjoining apartment, They were evidently man
and wie, whom a few years of matrimony had robbed
of the sentiment they had set out with,
‘Jane, don't crowd me so; keep your own side of
the bed.’ This is anything but a tender tone,
*Why, William, Iam not crowding you, and if I
was, you ought to be too gallant to tell me of it. There
was a time when you'd have kissed me for what you
scold me now.’
The femnine voice shook a little at tho conclusion
of this sentence.
* Perhaps so; but what's the use talking of the past.
Gallantly is played out; that’s for lovers, not for mar-
ried people.’
‘Didn't you declare, William, you'd always be my
lover,’
‘I don’t remember, I suppose I said a great many
foolish things in those days. You wint to get up a
scene, Women are death on scenes,’
‘You're downright rude, William, you'll make me
hate you, Mr. Thomson, (Jane was evidently geting
upher temper) {f you said anything foolish in these
days, I did one when I married you.’
* T wish you hadn't.‘
*So do I, with all my heart; you can’t regret it worse
than [ do.’
(I detest being an unexpected confident of any one,
particularly of men and ther wives. I had already
coughed and hemmed a dozen of times to let them
know that [was an unwilling visitor, but they didn't
heed mae.)
‘Mr. Thomson, you're a brute, You'll repent this.
'll find men who will treat me politely if you won't.’
‘Lam sure you haven't. I'm sleepy. Do stop that
tongue of yours, Jaue, you're more of a devil than I
ever thought.’ =
‘I'm the devil's wife, you wretch, I'll get up and
aleop somewhere else, so I will.’
This was getting too bad. I was rssolved to hear
no more, #0 T cried out * fire, fire ! very lustily.
| Jane and William were up in a second, As I ran into
| the hall they were there too.
Jane was pretty, and the tears in her éyes caused her
to look prettier; and her white robe falling gracefully
about her form made her more than fancy had painted
her. As I got opposite the door, Mr Thomson who
was lugging out « trunk, said to me: ‘As you have
nothing, sir, you will be kind enough to take that bun-
dle and fishing. tackle in the corner. Never mind my
wife, she'lll take care of herself’
I did not pause. I hurried down the hall. I was con-
vinced that Mr. T. was a brute and his wife a suf-
ferer.
All Sorts of Paragraphs.
RRR ert:
A short time since a modest s.d captivating young
lady, calling herself Nelly Swect, visited Detroit, as she
surl, in search of her brother, who was represented to
have been killed on one of the railroads of that State.
Her quiet ways and great beauty captivated the hearts
of all aroand her, and she became a general favourite.
At a party recently given, shq appeared as an invited
guest and succeeded, almost unconsciously, in wianing
| the heart of a wealthy young man, answering to the not
very romantic name of Llenry. Henry, after the festivi-
ties, Walked with her home, A short courtship followed,
and the parties were engaged to be married at an early
day. A few days before the ceremony was to be per-
formed which wouid make two loving hearts one, the
| young man visited his affianced, and to his surprise,
found her in tears. Ile tenderly enquired the cause,
and, after much coaxing. was informed that she had

Here you are a strong, able-bodied young man, | to buoy her wedding finery, consequently the wedding
must be postponed a few days. Henry would listen to
no such proposition, but would go strait and bring the
money. He departed and in a few moments returned
with a five hundred dollar bill, at the same time telling
her 1f she needed more to let him know. The evening
hefore the day appointed for the marriage, he determined
to spend a few hours with his beloved, and repaired to
her drawing-room ; but alas! Nelly wasnotthere. The
| bird had flowns The landlady said she had packed up
her things early that morning and had taken the early
train, but where shu went was a mystery. A note had
been left on the wash-stand in Nelly's room, addressed
to him, and which the landlady delivered. Its contents
were brief, but to the point: ** Henry, you were green,
T have been paid very well for the smiles I have given
you, and with your generous present of last evening, I
can now join my husband in California. Give my re-
spects to that brother that was killed on the Central
road when you see him, and oblige Nelly.” It was a
rude awakening for Henry, but the lesson will probably
do him good.
The Boston Traveller, of the 21st instant says: “Mrs.
Harrisson Gray Otis, a lady well known for her numer-
ous acts of benevolence and ch@ftity, was yesterday
made the victim of a practical joke, a large number of
bogus invitations to a reception to be given at her resi-
dence, No. 41 Mt. Vernon street, yesterday afternoon,
having been issued, and the street in front of her resi-
dence was severnl times blocked with carriages. But
these were not the only’ people hoaxed. Innumerable
orders were sent to artisans of all kinds—to plumbers,
ainters, carpenters, gas-fitters, etc., to come and per-
orm little. jobs of repairing about the house—each
job minately specified in the order. Other orders were
sent to coal dealers, flour dealers, grocers, etc., to
bring stated quantities of their respective kinds of
merchandise, to be delivered at stated times. Even the
services of an undertaker were brought into requisition
to lay out the body of a supposed dead child; and, in
response to an advertisement in the Herald, members of
the feline tribe were brought to fill out the miscellaneous
and variegated assortment. Dvtectives are now en-
ged in discovering the names of the perpetrators of
”
this strange hoax.”
A singular and distressing occurrence ee place in
this vicinity a short time since. A lady Who, from her
girlhood, had been subject to voilent pains in her sto-
mach, which nothing bat strong liquor would allay—
and thatonly for alimited perioc¢—married, and became
wo believe, the mother of two or threechildren. A week
or 60 ago, being taken with a violent paroxsam, which
caused her to fall with her face on the floor, and seem.
ing to be in a choking condition, some of her friends
resorted to the usual method of beating her on the back,
when lo! feom her mouth was ejected a chameleon, or
8 of lizard about a foot long, and two inches mn
cireamference. It is supposed that she had swallowed
it (probably in drinking) years ago, and its growth ac-
counts for the intense suffering of the lady, whonow,
we trust, will enjoy good health, having got rid of her
ugly eastomer.— Times .
It was customary m eaged hong churches for the men
to be “lon one side, and the women on the other.
A clergyman, in the midst of his sermon. foand himself
interrupted by the talking of some of the congregation,
of which he was obliged to take notice. A woman im-
mediately rose, and, wishing to clear her own sex from

itis not on our side.” “So muth the better, good
woman, so much the better,” answered the clergyman ;
“it will be the sooner over.”
McLeop tux Posr Ovrice CuerK.—The youth al-
luded te arrived here on Saturday evening with a horse
and sleigh from St. John. He booked his name at the
Watson Honse as Stephens, and amused himself on
Sunday by singing hymns in the most approved style.
On Monday he was endeavoring to negotiate the sale of
the horse with several gentlemen here, when he was
arrested and brought before Justice Rose, on complaint
of Mr. H. Young, of the St. Croix Exchange, who re-
ceived a telegram from St. John, directing his appre-
hension, on account of his having run away with a horse
and sleigh from a livery stable [Mr. Gelding’s] there.
In consequence of asecond telegram the matter re-
ceived its quietus, the owners the horse and sleigh, the
youth his liberty, and the neighboring Republic a future
citizen.—St, Stephen, N. B., Courier,

means of keeping business men afloat in these depress-
ed and uncertain times, which concludes with the fol-
lowing excellent advice: ‘‘ Be sure of one thing, what-
ever you have to sell, there are many people ready to
buy of you rather than another. When buyers are re-
luctant, sellers must be active. It is neither cheap nor
sensible to sit still behind the counter and wait for the
bustle of business to revive. When business is dull,
that is the very time to advertise. Ir the first place,
that is when you most need to advertise; and in- the
second, that is when people devote most time to read-
ing newspapers, and when your advertisement conse-
quently is mos. generally seen.”
This is the way Mrs. Smith advertises her husband:
** Lost, strayed or stolen, an individual whom I, in an
urgent moment of loneliness, was thoughtless enough
to adopt as my husband. He is a good-looking and
feeble individual, knowing enough, however, to come
in when it rains, unless some good-looking girl offers
him tho shelter of her umbrella. Answers to the
name of Jim. Was last seen in company with Julia

him for ranhing away, will be invited to tea by

A woman should be like an opal, a man like a
diamond. An opal conceals its fires, its soul, and you
only kuow that it has one by its ever-changing colors.
Its delicate pinks and greys, and roses and lilacs, and
pearl tints are only so many expressions of the spirit
within, and the charm would be lost, utterly lost, if it
blazed forth. It would then be intellectual, instead of
intelligent. and fanciful, and spiritual, and capricions,
and versatile. and new, always new ; vow seeming 80
delicate as to be dimmed by a breath, and anon giving
glimpses, but still veiled glimpses of a fire as strong as
that which barns in the adamantine diamond's heart.
Once upon a time, a rather verdant sprig of the law
ina New England munafacturing city had a writ to
make out against one of the female operatives in the
mills, Belng a little at a Ices how to designate the
person, he went to a brother member of the Bar and
told him his perplexity. He said that he had thought
of lady, but that didn’t quite suit him. ‘+ Is she un-
married?” said the brother lawyer. “ Yes.’’ “ Well,
then say spinster.” ‘Ah, yes!” says the incipient
attorney, hesitatingly, ‘* but the tronble of it is she don't
work in the spinning-room, she weaves.”
A country paper says that a tall Eastern girl, named
Short, long loved a big Mr, Little ; while Little, thinking
little of Short, loved a little lass named Long. To
make a long story short, Little proposed to Long, and
Short longed to be even with Little's shortcomings.
So Short, meeting Long, threatened to marry Little be-
fore long, which caused Little in a short time to marry
Long. Query—Did tall short love big Little less be-
cause Little loved Long.
Sam Slick says: ‘* 1f you want your son not to fall
in love with any splendiferous gal, praise her up to the
skies, cali her an angel, say she is a whole team and a
hoss to spare, and all that, The moment the critter
sees her he is a grain dissapointed, and says—*‘ Well, she
is handsome, that's a fact; but she is not so very, very
jeverlastin’ after all.’ Nothing damages a gal, a
preacher, or a lake, like oyerpraise, A hoss is ove of

Among the guests at a crowded hotel in a country
town, during court time, wasa burly, noisy, rude fellow,
who entered the dining room late to find himself erowe-
ed out of his place at the table, when he commenced to
upbraid the company as a “drove of hungry hogs,”
when a quick-witted young lawyer rose and rhymed him
down as follows:

woman in the world, and did L stand with one foot up-

Lord Eskgrove, who, it is related, once sentenced a
tailor for murdering a soldier in these words—** And

the lethal weapon through the bellyband of his regi-
mental breeches, which were the property of his
Majesty.”
A man who was a great stickler for etiquette, having
married a widow before her period of mourning had ex-
ired, soon after made his appearance with a weed on

he remarked that he considered it no more than the
handsome thing toward his lamented predecessor.
Dr. Johnson, in spite ot the contempt he affected for
actors, persuaded himself to treat Mre. Siddons with

benevolent reply.
In a village ‘‘ away down East,” so rons the story,

penetrating expression.
* Madame,’ said I, in a low, stern, measured tone,
‘if you would save your guilty life, do not attempt
to escape or call tor help! Iam not the poor fool
you su 1! You have played your part and I
mine! Te nes flatter yourself that I have been en-
soared! 1 know you, and boldly came here to detect
you in your guilt ! Not a single drop of your poisoned
wine hus passed my lips! Your whole establish-
ment is under the surveillance of the police; and
unless I return to my friends by daylight your
mansion will be entered by the dread oflicers of the
Jaw, and every living soul in it will be taken into
custody! Now mark well what I say! You must
instantly yourself conduct me tlear of your premises
aod if you dare to falter in the least, that, moment,
so sure as there is a God in Heaven, you die! Now
give me your hard and Jead the way !’
White with terrified amazement, and trembling
like ap aspen, the guilty, wretched woman stood
cowering before my stera, penetratiag glance. For
nearly a minute she seemed too much overpowered
to leave the room. I took her band, and grasped it
like a vice, and silently pointed to the door, At
length she went forwerd with tottering steps. In
silence she led me through the dark corridor, down
the stairs, through the passage, into the court,
through another passage, and opened the last door
that admitted me to life and light.
Morn was just breaking; and as I felt the cool
air of Heaven upon my fevered brow, and thought
of my narrow escape from death, there cama such a
whirl of strange emotions that I reeled forward like
one intoxicated !
The mansion I had just qnitted, stood on the
banks of the Seine, about two miles below the old
city; and I believe, if I had drunk the wine offered
me, my rifled body would soon have been cast in the
rushing waters. I believe, moreover, the mansion,
grand as it appeared, was only a den of robbers and
murderers ; that the woman was simply a beautiful
decoy for foreigners and strangers : and that many a
peor, unsuspecting soul, had taken its fight from
there to the eternal world! I did not communicate
with the police, for reason that, in the first place, I
could bring no charge of gnilt against any; but
thankful beyond expression for my own escap2, I
firmly resolved never to risk my life again in
another mysterious adventure in Paris.
EARNING A WIFE.
*And so you want to marry my daughter, young
man,’ said farmer Allen, removing his pipe from his
mouth, and looking at the young fellow sharply from
head to toe.
Despite his rather indolent, effeminate air, which was
mainly the result of his education, Luxe Johnson was
a fine looking fellow, and not easily moved from his self-
possession ; but he colored and grew confused beneath
that sharp, scrutinizing look.
‘Yes, sir. I spoke to Miss Mary last evening, and
she referred me to you.’
The old man’s face softened.
*Molly isa good girl, a very good girl,’ he said,
stroking his chin with athoughtful air, - and she de-
serves a good husband. What can you do?"
The young man looked rather blank at this abrupt
inquiry.
* If you refer to my ability to support a wife, I can
assure you
*I know you are a rich man, Luke Jobnson, but I
take it for granted that you ask my girl to marry you

to use them ? Again I ask, what can you do ?
This was a style of catechism for which Luke was quite
unprepared, and he stared blankly at the questions,
without speaking.
‘I believe that you managed to get through college—
have you an "vee we i?
*No, sir, I thought—’
* Have you any trade?’
* No sir, my father thought with the wealth I should
inherit, I should not need any.’

*And you want to marry my daughter?” revumed
the old man, after a tew vigorous puffs at his pipe.

yourself to be a man; perfect yourself in some occu-
pation—I don’t care what, if it be honest, and then
come to me, and if the girl is willing she is yours.’
As the old man said this, he deliberately knovked the
ashes out of his pipe against one of the pillars of the
ch where he was sitting, tucked it inte his vest
et, and went into the houre.
Pretty Mary Allen was waiting down at the garden
te, their usual jp place. The smiling light
Rica from her eyes as she noticed his sober, discom-
fited look.
‘Father means well,’ she said, as Luke told her the
result of bis application.
*And I am not sute but that he is about right,’ he re-
sumed, after a thoughtful pause, * for it seems to me
that overy man, be he rich-or poor, ought to have some

Then, as she noticed her lover's grave leok, she

in bis exile these words, and which were like a tower of
strength to his soul, * Vit wait for you, Luke.’
‘One pleasant sunsbiny morning, late in October, as
farmer Allen was propming up the grape-vine in his
front yard, that threatened to break down with the

The old man regarded his daughter for a moment
with a quizzical look,

before—has bronght me a lot of tubs and barrels, all of

pretty steep price for ‘em; but if you are willing to

of the room, and we will follow his example. Bat the

The very flower of our corps of correspondents, while
eres at ——-, vouches for the following: tLast
night while lying down in my chamber and being un
able to sleep, deliciously cool as it was, I could not
help overhearing, from the thinresa of the partition and
the open transoms, adialogue between the occupants
of the adjoining apartment, They were evidently man
and wie, whom a few years of matrimony had robbed
of the sentiment they had set out with,
‘Jane, don't crowd me so; keep your own side of
the bed.’ This is anything but a tender tone,
*Why, William, Iam not crowding you, and if I
was, you ought to be too gallant to tell me of it. There
was a time when you'd have kissed me for what you
scold me now.’
The femnine voice shook a little at tho conclusion
of this sentence.
* Perhaps so; but what's the use talking of the past.
Gallantly is played out; that’s for lovers, not for mar-
ried people.’
‘Didn't you declare, William, you'd always be my
lover,’
‘I don’t remember, I suppose I said a great many
foolish things in those days. You wint to get up a
scene, Women are death on scenes,’
‘You're downright rude, William, you'll make me
hate you, Mr. Thomson, (Jane was evidently geting
upher temper) {f you said anything foolish in these
days, I did one when I married you.’
* T wish you hadn't.‘
*So do I, with all my heart; you can’t regret it worse
than [ do.’
(I detest being an unexpected confident of any one,
particularly of men and ther wives. I had already
coughed and hemmed a dozen of times to let them
know that [was an unwilling visitor, but they didn't
heed mae.)
‘Mr. Thomson, you're a brute, You'll repent this.
'll find men who will treat me politely if you won't.’
‘Lam sure you haven't. I'm sleepy. Do stop that
tongue of yours, Jaue, you're more of a devil than I
ever thought.’ =
‘I'm the devil's wife, you wretch, I'll get up and
aleop somewhere else, so I will.’
This was getting too bad. I was rssolved to hear
no more, #0 T cried out * fire, fire ! very lustily.
| Jane and William were up in a second, As I ran into
| the hall they were there too.
Jane was pretty, and the tears in her éyes caused her
to look prettier; and her white robe falling gracefully
about her form made her more than fancy had painted
her. As I got opposite the door, Mr Thomson who
was lugging out « trunk, said to me: ‘As you have
nothing, sir, you will be kind enough to take that bun-
dle and fishing. tackle in the corner. Never mind my
wife, she'lll take care of herself’
I did not pause. I hurried down the hall. I was con-
vinced that Mr. T. was a brute and his wife a suf-
ferer.
All Sorts of Paragraphs.
RRR ert:
A short time since a modest s.d captivating young
lady, calling herself Nelly Swect, visited Detroit, as she
surl, in search of her brother, who was represented to
have been killed on one of the railroads of that State.
Her quiet ways and great beauty captivated the hearts
of all aroand her, and she became a general favourite.
At a party recently given, shq appeared as an invited
guest and succeeded, almost unconsciously, in wianing
| the heart of a wealthy young man, answering to the not
very romantic name of Llenry. Henry, after the festivi-
ties, Walked with her home, A short courtship followed,
and the parties were engaged to be married at an early
day. A few days before the ceremony was to be per-
formed which wouid make two loving hearts one, the
| young man visited his affianced, and to his surprise,
found her in tears. Ile tenderly enquired the cause,

must be postponed a few days. Henry would listen to
no such proposition, but would go strait and bring the
money. He departed and in a few moments returned
with a five hundred dollar bill, at the same time telling
her 1f she needed more to let him know. The evening
hefore the day appointed for the marriage, he determined
to spend a few hours with his beloved, and repaired to
her drawing-room ; but alas! Nelly wasnotthere. The
| bird had flowns The landlady said she had packed up
her things early that morning and had taken the early
train, but where shu went was a mystery. A note had
been left on the wash-stand in Nelly's room, addressed
to him, and which the landlady delivered. Its contents
were brief, but to the point: ** Henry, you were green,
T have been paid very well for the smiles I have given
you, and with your generous present of last evening, I
can now join my husband in California. Give my re-
spects to that brother that was killed on the Central
road when you see him, and oblige Nelly.” It was a
rude awakening for Henry, but the lesson will probably
do him good.
The Boston Traveller, of the 21st instant says: “Mrs.
Harrisson Gray Otis, a lady well known for her numer-
ous acts of benevolence and ch@ftity, was yesterday
made the victim of a practical joke, a large number of
bogus invitations to a reception to be given at her resi-
dence, No. 41 Mt. Vernon street, yesterday afternoon,
having been issued, and the street in front of her resi-
dence was severnl times blocked with carriages. But
these were not the only’ people hoaxed. Innumerable
orders were sent to artisans of all kinds—to plumbers,
ainters, carpenters, gas-fitters, etc., to come and per-
orm little. jobs of repairing about the house—each
job minately specified in the order. Other orders were
sent to coal dealers, flour dealers, grocers, etc., to
bring stated quantities of their respective kinds of
merchandise, to be delivered at stated times. Even the
services of an undertaker were brought into requisition
to lay out the body of a supposed dead child; and, in
response to an advertisement in the Herald, members of
the feline tribe were brought to fill out the miscellaneous
and variegated assortment. Dvtectives are now en-
ged in discovering the names of the perpetrators of
”
this strange hoax.”
A singular and distressing occurrence ee place in
this vicinity a short time since. A lady Who, from her
girlhood, had been subject to voilent pains in her sto-
mach, which nothing bat strong liquor would allay—
and thatonly for alimited perioc¢—married, and became
wo believe, the mother of two or threechildren. A week
or 60 ago, being taken with a violent paroxsam, which
caused her to fall with her face on the floor, and seem.
ing to be in a choking condition, some of her friends
resorted to the usual method of beating her on the back,
when lo! feom her mouth was ejected a chameleon, or
8 of lizard about a foot long, and two inches mn
cireamference. It is supposed that she had swallowed
it (probably in drinking) years ago, and its growth ac-
counts for the intense suffering of the lady, whonow,
we trust, will enjoy good health, having got rid of her
ugly eastomer.— Times .
It was customary m eaged hong churches for the men

A clergyman, in the midst of his sermon. foand himself
interrupted by the talking of some of the congregation,
of which he was obliged to take notice. A woman im-
mediately rose, and, wishing to clear her own sex from

McLeop tux Posr Ovrice CuerK.—The youth al-
luded te arrived here on Saturday evening with a horse
and sleigh from St. John. He booked his name at the
Watson Honse as Stephens, and amused himself on
Sunday by singing hymns in the most approved style.
On Monday he was endeavoring to negotiate the sale of
the horse with several gentlemen here, when he was
arrested and brought before Justice Rose, on complaint
of Mr. H. Young, of the St. Croix Exchange, who re-
ceived a telegram from St. John, directing his appre-
hension, on account of his having run away with a horse

means of keeping business men afloat in these depress-
ed and uncertain times, which concludes with the fol-
lowing excellent advice: ‘‘ Be sure of one thing, what-
ever you have to sell, there are many people ready to
buy of you rather than another. When buyers are re-
luctant, sellers must be active. It is neither cheap nor
sensible to sit still behind the counter and wait for the
bustle of business to revive. When business is dull,
that is the very time to advertise. Ir the first place,
that is when you most need to advertise; and in- the
second, that is when people devote most time to read-
ing newspapers, and when your advertisement conse-
quently is mos. generally seen.”
This is the way Mrs. Smith advertises her husband:
** Lost, strayed or stolen, an individual whom I, in an
urgent moment of loneliness, was thoughtless enough
to adopt as my husband. He is a good-looking and
feeble individual, knowing enough, however, to come

him tho shelter of her umbrella. Answers to the

A woman should be like an opal, a man like a
diamond. An opal conceals its fires, its soul, and you
only kuow that it has one by its ever-changing colors.
Its delicate pinks and greys, and roses and lilacs, and
pearl tints are only so many expressions of the spirit
within, and the charm would be lost, utterly lost, if it
blazed forth. It would then be intellectual, instead of
intelligent. and fanciful, and spiritual, and capricions,
and versatile. and new, always new ; vow seeming 80
delicate as to be dimmed by a breath, and anon giving
glimpses, but still veiled glimpses of a fire as strong as
that which barns in the adamantine diamond's heart.
Once upon a time, a rather verdant sprig of the law
ina New England munafacturing city had a writ to
make out against one of the female operatives in the
mills, Belng a little at a Ices how to designate the
person, he went to a brother member of the Bar and
told him his perplexity. He said that he had thought
of lady, but that didn’t quite suit him. ‘+ Is she un-
married?” said the brother lawyer. “ Yes.’’ “ Well,
then say spinster.” ‘Ah, yes!” says the incipient
attorney, hesitatingly, ‘* but the tronble of it is she don't
work in the spinning-room, she weaves.”
A country paper says that a tall Eastern girl, named
Short, long loved a big Mr, Little ; while Little, thinking
little of Short, loved a little lass named Long. To
make a long story short, Little proposed to Long, and
Short longed to be even with Little's shortcomings.
So Short, meeting Long, threatened to marry Little be-
fore long, which caused Little in a short time to marry
Long. Query—Did tall short love big Little less be-
cause Little loved Long.
Sam Slick says: ‘* 1f you want your son not to fall
in love with any splendiferous gal, praise her up to the
skies, cali her an angel, say she is a whole team and a
hoss to spare, and all that, The moment the critter
sees her he is a grain dissapointed, and says—*‘ Well, she
