" And they took away all the plate at
the Sniithers's," dear ?"
" Only electro, my dear," I said.
"But it is so dreadful; love. Only
think if they -Were to come here next."
"Ab, to be sure," I said. , "They
might steal the. baby." -
" How can you be so met ?"
" I wonder. how inueli a baby is worth
to people of that class."
"I declare, Fred, if you keep- on talk-
-ing au ch stuff, I won't stop in the studio."
"Do you know what they do. with
them?"
"No. With what?"
Staten babies."
No. Of course not ! How con you
talk such nonsense ?"
"Let them out tor hire; a woman has
a couple iu arms, two more a Size or so
larger cling to her skirts, and two more
sapport her beloved. husband, who
scrapes a psalm tune-' Ararat '-on an.
old fiddle, aod gives out two lines of the
psalm at a time, to the tinkling of fall-
ing coppers on the pave."
Do you wish to make me ery, Fred ?"
This very reproachfully, as I am dark-
ening the shadows beside a pretty girl's
nose in my popular picture of a party at
the boat -race-'' Blue Belles."

Silence in the stuko for a while,
broisenOnly by the click -click of a busy
needle, and the creaking of my easel as
I shift ray position. Then my wifey
noes on-;
•
" I think, dear, we really ought to
move." -
"Why my clear ?"
" Why1. Because it's quite dreadful
to live in a place with such horrible
robberies always going on." .
" And leave King Henry's Road !
Why, what place could be a better one
for wives." , -
" Nonsense! The plisse smells of
nothing but paint, Fred; and you know
it. If you go out, you are sure to meet
some horrible snuffy dealer coming away
chuckling with a canvas he has bought
cheap ; or else artiste."
" XVell, and if you do, what then?.
Bayes is, I'm sure, a good fellow -it al-
most makes me fancy that I sniff the
briny when I meet him, and. think of his
pictures; then there's tall, good looking
ildes, who always paints Love in idle-
ness; or Saxon -haired. Forest. What-
ever can you •have to grumble about?
Am not I hereV'
"I See it's of no Use to talk to you to-
day, Fred," said little wifey ; " you
have got one of your teasing fits on, so I
may just as well hold. my tongue."
• " No, my dear; pray proceed -'tis
like the silver murmur of the brook upon
mine ear, and sweetens the task I have
in hand."
41 Stuff !"
That is little wifey's exclamatinn, in a
very snatchy, pettish tone; but she likes
it ali the same, and every now and then
the little head will turn in my direction.
At the end of a minute the burglars
break-in ence more, and she continues -
"There have been no less than ten
robberies since Christmas, Fred.."
"Indeed, my dear.! Then. I shall
start a Burglary Insurance Company.
Why not? How dues her nose look

pitaI ; but isn't it a little toot re-
trousse ?"
"1 love retrousse noses," I responded.
Cupid's nose was a pug, and pug noses
were made to love. I could never have
endured, coming in contact with a hatchet
or cheese -knife -fashioned_ organ in a
sweet salute."
More stuff. But, all the same, the bit
of bantering flattery does not "displease,
and I paint away.
" Did you hear how they cleared out
the Lemaines-those Freneh people?"
my dear, I did not."
" Oh, but it was dreadful! They took
everything --even to the table linen." •
" Well, my dear, if they come here -
bless 'em -what will they get.? Nothing
worth having; for _onr property is a
sweet blessing in disguise, which frees us
from the sad anxiety of those who suffer
from a plethora of plate, a weight of
watches, or a generosity of gems. We
have our tables and our chairs -I my
patiitt and brushes, you your needle-
-Work and -and, well, your good looks,
which time alone can steal. The only
mutual -property, it seeina to me, that
we could. lose by the barglarious burgl-
ing of burglars is the baby, and him you
honaceopathically preserve."

same, it 11,sas a terriNe nuisance this con-
stant recurrence of:petty raberies-
keeping, as it dicl, the hea,rts of all the
hens and chickeus of the neighborhood
in -a state of flutter lest the next visit of
the fox should be to their particular
roost. I, for one, had spoken to the in-
spector of the police after the upset at
our friends', the Wilkinses, and he had
very sensibly remarked that they (the
police) could not be everywhere at once.
" You see, sir," he said, " it' e just
this. They plant a robbery, and work
accordingly. By a little watching they
get to know our times for being in eVety
street -for we can't work at random, we
must have our regular beats, so as to
check the men. Well, sir, they sees a
man out of such and such a street, and
they knows how long it will .be before
he conies back, and goes to work in the
meantime."
A fortnight slipped by, during which
I worked hard_ at the Blue • Belles" -
and the burglars rested, for we heard no
more of their depredations ; when one
day our studio was entered by a brigand.
-a swarthy -looking, black -bearded fett
low, in olive velvet, very much worn,
and a soft sombrero. He looked a regu-
lar burglar of the order of the long
knife ; but it was only Tom Norris, who
had come straight to ns from Spain, after
- a six months' stay. _
As thesoft spring evening closed in,
a
. .
we had a grand debauch. Milly brought
out the great glass jug, into which was
emptied a shilling bottle of claret, and a
bottle of soda -water ; vhik, after throw-
ing up the great, heavy plate glass sash
of the studio window, we sat and smoked
the Spanish cigarettes, of 'which Tom
lull brought a store.
There was so much picture lore to cara
vass, that ie was twelve. o'clock before we
were all snug in our rooms. Then isaid
my catechism, and. we went to bed. .
the way, I may as well ex -plain
that my 'cateehism is repeated. to Maly
every -night ; ancl the questions are some -
What of the kind.-
" Are you sure the kitchen fire ids
quite out?
. Did. you turn off the gas?
Wee the studio window securedt, _
Has Mary Put out her light ?"'
Et cetera, et cetera. Then. I put out
our own, and sleeti fell upon our humble
roof. .
I was just busy paying the Spanish
woman for the great, luscious water-
melon she had sold me under the walls
of the old palace, when a fleece brigand
fellow presented - a.° formidable, bell-
-mouth trabuco at my head, and bade me
give up my cash. T elosedewith hintin a
tierce struggle, but it was all in vain ;
hershook me and tossecl me as he liked,
and all the while he kept on saying-
" Fred ! Fred ! Oh, pray do wake
: " Eh ? What's the matter ?":
" Pinisure there's somebody breaking
" Bother !"
I was drawing the clothes uptwer my
ears, when Milfy began. to sob.
" Oh, pray, believe me, dean There
is indeed some -one getting in."
" Didn't you send me down stairs a
month ago because the wind rattled the
front door ?" I growled..
" Yes, yes, my dear ; but I'm sure
this time."
," So You were when it was only Jane
snoring up stairs." • '
"-But, listen, clear, yourself."
"o I did when the sweeps tam. e
next door at & o'clock." -
" But I heard. it at plain as poseible-
a heavy, dull noise, and then a sharp
snap, like a window -fastening forced
back. Pm sure it's thieves.".._
"My dealt"- I said, quietly, you've
got burglars on the brain. I shan't get
up, so that's flat. Go to sleep; no one
will come here."
"Then let me get up and get a light -
I'll go, dear."
" aladarn, hiy manhood'honor-"
Bang! here was a thud which shook
-our window, and a strange, gurgling
noise succeeded it, but smotherecl and
muffled, as if some one was being suffo-
cated.
• "There !" exclaimed Milly,
"we shall all be murdered. Pray give
me the baby, dear." -
"It's only Tom Norris dreaming about
bull -fights in ,Spam:" I said thastily
drawing on some clothes; but, though I
spoke in tones of credence, and could
hear some one moving upstairs, I was far
from satisfied.
Lastly, I struck a light, arid opened
the door, just as one was opened over-
head. •
Anything the matter, old fellow ?"
"Anything the matter, old fellow ?"
Theseltwo questions crossed on their
waytup and down.
"1 thought you .were queer !"
I thought yott were queer'
These remarks, too, crossed; and then
we took counsel for a mornent end listen-
ed, for all was perfectly still.
"Well, I'll go down and see," I said;
for that was absolutely necessary,
though I ton -fes s I did not like the
task.
I had hardly. uttered the words before
there came up, evideutleefroni the studio,
a sound as of the window being rattled
furiously, then a- hand was beating at it
evidently, and before we could reach the
door, the whole house was tilled with a
most dismal howl that .sounfled hardly
human. And again, in an instant-
" Help, help !- Oh, pray, help."
"This is a rum start," said Torn Nor-
ris, as Innlocked the door and threw; it
open ; when we entered together; and I
'held up the light aheve my head.
I have seeii strange sights, but that
WAS one of the most strange; for there,
half-straugled and with starting eyes,
was the head Of a man apparently being
guillotined by the window sash, which
bad fallen right across his neck, holding
him securely there, so that it was im-
possible to move.
I could read. at a glance how it hap-
pened, for the broken sash -lines bung
down into the room. The fellow had
forced. back tile catch, and thrown up
the window to get in. '• when, in a most
inopportune rament for him, the llnes
had snapped, letting the heavy, one -
paned sash fall -fortunately for the
scoundrel -upon his shoulders, or it must
have been his death. As- it was, he hat'
Wriggled 'and struggled hard, striving in
vain to free himself, till the sash rested
upon his neck, where it glided down
more tightly; and, as his efforts grew
weaker and"his hands impotent to hold it
up, he huug there securely trapped, with
nothing left, for hirn to do but howl for
h elp.
Well, you're a pretty sort of a
scoundrel, you are," said Tom coolly.
For Heaven's sake, sir, let mego.
Oh, pray, sir, let me out, and I'li never
do so any more, I shall be dead direct-
ly."
"Anda precious goed. job too," said.
Tom.. " We could get on very well
without burglars." .
";But, please, sir," said the poor
wretch, in stifled accents. "1 ain't
took nothtn'.'t
How many pals have you got out
there?"
" Oh, sir, 'strue as goodness, sir, only
two sir ; and the cowards cut, sir, as
soon as they saw me here -hooked it
like a pair o' sneaks, sir ; but only let
me get out, sir, please sir, and -I'll blow
on 'em both, sir. 041 -h -h !" _
Here the poor wretch uttered such a
howl that Iran to the window.
No, no, let him be," said. Tom cool-
ly. " He won't hurt. I'll see to him.
You go and tell them upstairs that we've
caught the scoundrel and they need. net
be afraid."
I ran and performed the task, and
came back to find Tom arranging the
light so that it fell upon the burglar's
face.
"Hadn't we better drag hire iii and
tie him hand and foot ?"
" Yes, presently," said Tom, coolly;
"but I havn't done with him yet."
"Oh ?" groaned the burglar in a faint
voice.
"Now, look here, young fellow," said
Tom, giving him a sharp cuff on the ear,
"stop that TOW, please."
" But I can't breathe, governor, 'stele
as goodness I can't."

Pr HE HURON .EXPOSITOR.
"'Tis rather tight," said Tom, putting
his hand to the fellow's neck. "What
do you say" he coutinued., turning to
me. t` Shall we press the sash down
hats', and put him out of misery ?"
The poor wretch half screwed his head
around to gaze at the speaker.
What !" he shrieked,hoarsely, "you
cowards ; murder me, would you? and.
you call yourselves-"
" i
"Pow !"
The speech wus cutsort by Tom dab-
bing a great oily painter's cloth, gag -like,
a.ganist the fellow's mouth.
"Now, look here," said Toni. "You
Make another sound, or so much as move
and I squeeze.your throat with that sash
Here, stick this book ander edgewise so
as to ease his neck a little. There, that
will do. Now, hold on, my lad, and be
quiet."
The fellow clung convulsively with his
hands on the sill, his eyes -rolling hor-
ribly as they followed Torn. Norris's
m.ovements, my curiosity being moved
to the utmost.
What are you going to do ?" I said.
"To do ?" said Tom, catching up a
broad brush, and some Indian ink-
" take him, of course. What model
could ever do that so natnrally? Make
your hay, my boy,' while the sun
shines."
"But that distorted face ! Oh, -come
Tom, lot's have in the police and hand
him over."
"No, my boy -not if I know it. Too
great a veneration for nry art."
And he went on painting away.
"But of what good ?". - -
"What good? Why, my dear boy,
where are your eyes ? A Spanish male-
factor in the garotte ! Titus Oates in
the pillory ! Splendid subjects, both of
tbem. You keey him quiet, and if -1 get
good sketch, I could almost forgive
him, and. let him go."
I kept the poor wretch quiet, though
he groaned -heavily, and must, I ain sure,
have -suffered no light punishment. Then
Toni painted, away with the rapidity of a
finished hand -; but at one and the same
itiontept the burglar groaned, faintly-
- " I can't stand this much longer, guv'-
nor-- pray let me go."
And a heavy knock came at the front
door.
I opened to the police; who had been
-summoned by Milly from tue front win-
dow, and when two men eutered my
studio, their satisfied, grim expression
was so telling, that Tom wanted to make
another sketch.
However, that was not done, and he
was satisfied with that which he had
matte, helping merrily to drag in our
prisoner, while I held up the heavy
sash.
!.." Well, sir, all I can say is," said the
sergeant, as he fitted on the handcuffs to
the shivering wretch's wrist, "if you
set that there trap to ketch burglars, it
was very clever; only," he continued,
rather contemptuously,. as he glanced
round the bare studio, " I don't see no

ish picture almost equal to a Philip, of
a Spaniel malefactor in the garotte -

As for the burglars, their gang was
broken up, for our friend did turn
Queen's evidence; and. our pleasant dfs-
tdct has since enjoyed a' domestic peace
which I trust may last. -Once a Weeks
How to Cure a Cold.
The first time I began to sneeze, a
friend told me to go and bathe my feet
in hot water and go to bed. I did so.
Shortly after, another friend told me to
get up and take a cold shower bath. I
did that also. Within the hour another
friend assured me that it was policy to
feed a cold and starve a fever. I had
both. So I thought it bestt6 fill myself
up for the cold, and let the fever starve a
while. I conferred my custom upon. a
stranger, who had just opened his res-
tauraut on Cortlandt street, near the ho-
tel, that morning, paying so much for a
full meal. He waited near me in re-
spectful silence -until I had finished feed-
ing my cold, when he inquired if the
people about New.York were much afflic-
ted with colds. I told hiin. I thought
they were. He then went out and took
in. his sign.
I started up towards the office, and on
the -ay encountered another bosom -
friend, who told me that quart of warm
salt water would come as near curing a
cold as anything in the world. I hardly
thought I had room for it, bat I tried it
any how. The result was surprising. I
believe T threw up my immortal soul.
Now, as I give my experience only for
the benefit of your friends who are
troubled with this distemper, I feel that
they will see the propriety of my caution--
ing them against following such portions
of it as prove(' inefficient with me, and
acting upon this conviction I warn theta
against warm salt water it mayebe a good
enough remedy, but I think it is rather
too severe. If I had another cold in. the
head, an_d there was no course left me to
!take either an earthquake or a quart of
warni salt water, 1 would take my
chances on the earthquake. After this
everybody in the hotel became interested,
and I took all -sorts of remedies -hot lem-
onade, cold lemonade, pepper tea, bone -
set, stewed quaker, horehound syrup,
onions .and loat sugar, lemons and brown
sugar, vinegar and.. faudanum, five bottles
firbalsa,m, eight bottles cherry pectoral,
and LO bottles Uncle Sam's remedy, but
all without effect. One of the prescrip-
tions, given by an old lady, was -well, it
was. dreadful. She mixed a decoction
composed of molasses, catnip, pepper-
mint, aouafortis, turpentine, kerosene,
and. various other drugs, and. instructed.
me to take a wineglassful of it every 15
miautes. I never took but one dose;
that was enough. I had to take to my
bed, and remained there for two entire
-days. When I felt a little better, more
things were recommended. I was des-
perate and willing to take anythine.
Plain gin was recommended, then gm arid.
molasses, then gin and onions. I took
all three. I detected no particular result,
however, except that I had. acquired a
breath like a turkey buzzard, and had. to
change my boarding place. At this new
place they suggested a different remedy
to any yet tried. A 'sheet bath was re-
commended. I had never refund a rem-
edy yet, and it seemed a poor policy to
comneeuce then; therefore I determined
to take a sheet bath, though I had no
idea what sort of arrangement it was. It
was administered at midnight, and the
weather was very frosty. My back and
breast were stripped, and a sheet (there
appearedto be 1,000 yards of it soaked
in ice water was wound around me until
I resembled a swab for a columbiad.. It
is a cruel expedient: When the Chilly
rag touches one's warm flesh, it Makes
him start with sudden violence and ,gasp
for breath, just as men do in the death
.agony. It froze the marl -ow in my bones
and stopped the beating of my heart. I
thought my tinie had come. When I
recovered front this, a friend recommend-
ed the application of a mustard plaster to
my breast. I believe that would. have
cured me effectually if it had not been for
young -Clemens. When I went to bed I
put the mustard plaster where I could
reach it when I should be ready for it.
But young Clemens got hungry in the
night, and ate . it up. never saw any
child have such an appetite. I am confi-
deot that he would have eaten me if I had
been healthy. -Mar/ Twain.

THE SYMPTOMS OF MENTAL' DECAY RE-
semble the gradual changes that conic over
old people-, and are similar to those induced by
excesses and bad habits, and the tendency is to
the production of softening of the brain and in-
sanity. The cause is deficiency of phosphates,
as it is well known that man grows older and
-
mentally weaker When the nervous system is in-
sufficiently supplied with these elements -the sol-
idity of the brain -depending upon phosphorized
-compounds-and that those foods which are rich-
. est in phosphates renovate most speedily weaken-
ed brain power and -loss of constitutional vigor.
Dr. Wheeler's Compound Elixir of Phosphates and
Calisaya contains these Agents in au 'easily as-
similable form, constituting a brain and nerve
food.
