A VIENNA 11O IANCE.
The rotrranee: of a hair comes from
Vienna. A poor girl with beautiful
Bair went to a barber to eell it., Ile
tried to matte a close bargain, salving
flair was plentiful this : year, heti de -
(blared he could Orly give her eight
florins..
The little rai de s eyes filled
with
tel>,re, and she Ilssrttl,ted a moment
while threadiag her fiugers through her
ohesnut looks.
Finally she thew herself into the
chair and said
'Then take it fluidity.'
The barber was about to cut oli the
tresses when a geutleman sitting in
one of the chairs interrupted, and spoke
to the ghl,
'My child,' said he, 'why do you sell
your beautiful hair 2'
'IsIy mother has been nearly five
mouths ill. I oaunot woik enough to
supportus. Everythiug has been sold
or pawned, and there is not a penny in
the house.'
'No, no, )sly child ; if that is the ease
I with buy your hair, and give you, one
hundred florins fur it.'
He gave the poor girl the note, the
sight of which, dried, her tears, and he
took the• barber's shears.
Taking the lock in, his hand,. he
sel•cted the longest hair,cut it off., and
put it carefully in his pocket -book, thus
paying one hundred florins for a singly
hair.
He took the poor girl's address, in
case he should want to buy another at.
the same rale.
This charitable gentleman is menti-
oned as the head of a large industrial]
establishmeut iu Vienna.

THIS SIDE UP:.
A novel illtastra;tton of the ingenuity
of thieves has just been aflturded by an
incident reported from. the contiueut.
For 801110 URA past a'o icrcb-Ge1'nlan
railway oumpauy had been suff.ttieg
from the repeated toss of goods which
were seut by luggage -train, and which
notwithstanding ail researches and pre
cautious, coutiu,ued to disappear in a
.very 1nys.terious annuner-., The secret
•whi0fi• the inquiries set 011 foot had
failed to discover was atlength resealed
by a_rather amusing accident. A long
box, on one side of which 'were words
equivalent to 'This side .up,' had, in
disregard of this+ caution, beer setup
on lend 1n. t11e goods shod. S(.,nie
time afterwards thh' employees were
iiot a little startled; to hear a voice ap
p ret,tly pri,ceediug from the box in
lineation, begging the hearers to let the
speaker out. Ou opening the lid, the
railway oflieers 'were. sarprised ate d
amused to find a loan inside standing
on; his held. Iu; the explanation which
followed, the fellow wlott•ed to account
for 111s'a,plaenrauce, ander such unusual
circrunstatice:,, as due to the result of

and it.was soon found that.bat the thieve,,
had adopted this method of conveeiug.

and that during the absence of the em
ployees they had lot thenrselyes.out of
the box, winch they a4 auce filled with
any articles: they could lzly-' their .band. -

with the address. upon it. But for tai
unfortunate inability of poor h,u.ni.au
nature to endure'au inverted;'poaitiotr

flourished a long ,time without detec

TETE BOY WITH THE BANDBOX.
A day or two ago, as the country
,people who had brongitt in produce to
bell in the market were about ready to
start for home, n boy appeared, with to
'Woe banbui, under his arm. ' Among
the vehicles was a one-horse ' wagon
belonging to an old woman who had
last sold four bag. of otlinns, and: was
neatly to drive loupe The boy ap
prlaached her in au hottest.,straightfor-
w,at;rt.tnanuer, and row rked._
auntie,here its that bonnet fit
to bonnet 7' SW inclllil 0.41.
'Why yes ; the one you entered at
the store a. week ago. You'dlook so
purty iu it that the old mau won't know
you, Ilt'•s paid( for all right,, and now
I'll set 4t right down here by your
feet,'
That old woman knew the boy was
making a'.nistake in leaving the bon
net with her, but after the first word
of sr Irtri
u so she made. no sign.. She
reasoned that it wasn't her business to
correct mistakes, and as soon as the
boy had retired; she picked up tbelines
and drove up the street, every ;moment
expecting to hear the euistnheaboy cal-
ling after her, and every nomeut aur-
frying the old nag as test as she could
go. After driving a short dis.tanoe,
she felt that the boy could not over-
take leer,, and it was ouly natural that
slleehoulid have a lively curiosity to see
what sort ofa bonnet it was. If plain
,blast[ it would suit her ton dot; if gory
•
geuus, it would suit her daughter. The
'horse was reined up to the curb, and
the driver carefully untied the string
fastening the box, and lifted • the cover.
A 'yeller' eat of monstrous size, feeling
that he had been abused and insulted,
and her eyes glaring with hate and
oontewpt, oiune out .of the box ]ilk a
bullet. People who happened to be in
the neighborhood were !treated to a
curious spectacle. With one wild un-
earthly yell, as old woman was sent to
pitch backward by the shortest route.
The oltt, seeing her out of the wey,
mild..: a spring from the seat to the
horse's back, and began a dories of per-
formances never known or dreamed of
by that old equine, and the way that
horse gathered his legs ander him and
scattered the old wagonfor half a;blook
was wicked to bee. Tlie old lady hav-
ing been raised to her feet by a con-
siderate bystander stood on the walk
and endeavored to explain. A mau iu
the crowd. piclved'up the wagon wheels
and remarked hat the whole outfit
wasn't worth scraping together, and
some one in the crowd solemnly ob-
served : _••,-'. If ]loneety ain't the best
policy, then I don't tvan,t a cent.'
