A Victim, of Circumstances.
"1 came once, myself," said the gen-
tleman of leisure, "disagreeably near
falling a victim to circumstantial evi-
dence. It was a snowy, sleety day in
-
New York city,- some years ago. I stood
on the corner of Fourteenth street for
- some time, waiting for a stage, but those
thatpasaed me were all full. At length
one came along which I thought had a
vacant seat. I hailed it, the driver
pulled up,and I started to get in. When,
however,' reached the door I discovered
that every seat was occupied ; but as the
driver had stepped for me, and the day
was a bad one, I concluded I would
stand up until some one got Out ; and
we went jolting on. Down about
Stewart's a lady got out. I stepped off
from the steps and helped her clown, the
others moved up, and I took the vacant
seat nearest the door. The 'bus had
gone perhaps a block when I noticed a
lady running down the street, along
the sidewalk. I took no special note of
her, did not identify her, nor think of
her as running after our orratibue ; but
When we reached the New York Hotel
she had overtaken us, hailed the 'bus,
and it came to a halt. She rushed to
the door, ancl,gasping for breathotssault-
ed me. Give me my pocket -book r she
maid ; you have stolen my'pocket-boo
'I stolen your pocket -book, my gcod
woman r said 1; !you are crazy!' Ye ,'
said she, when you helped me out pf
the stage you stole my pocket -book \'
The nest of the passengers began pokin
' in the straw at their feet for the lost
pocket -book. For my part I was s
angry that I did not care whether s e
got her pocket -book or not; when, as
od luck would have it, her own eyes'
discerned it on the lower -step of the
omnibus, where it had fallen, I suppose,
w'hen she got out; though how it stuck
there in our jetting ride down Broad-
way I never could imagine. I had on a
great sack -coat with big side pockets,
awl a pair of great gloves in one of them
Sidikil heldthe month of the pocket
open. If, when shingot out, her pocket-
book had fallen into that pocket, as it
might easily have done, instead of falling
on to the step, I should have been in a
tad fix. Even my friends, you know,in
such a ease, if appealed to, would have
said: 'Well, yes, we always shmposed
he was honest; we ehould never have
thought of his doing such a thing as
that; but, then, there was the isocket-
book in his pocket, you know. One
can't get over that very well.", ----Spec-
tator in Christian Union.

The -Silk Industry Explained.
"What is that ?" she asked, her eyes
looking trustingly into his. "That is
the siIk display. "1 know -I ca,n see
the silk. I mean those little things in
shells like." "Oh, those are worms,"
" Worms !" "Yes, worms -silkworms,
you know." Not made out of silk.
No not made out of silk, , They
produce the fibre from which the
silk is made, just as a spider produces
web-clo you understand ?' "Oh,
yes; isn't that nice. And do they pro-
duce it done up in these sweet little
balls ?" "O1;, certainly, of course they
tlo. Why not." Some of them produce
it on balls and some on spools ; ,some in
fifty -yard and some in one hundred -yard
lengths ; some of them furnish it in
blue, others inred, yellow, green, purple
and so on. I believe you see through
the whole thing now." "Oh, yee ; isn't
it strange ?" "It is a pleasure to show
you around -you understand eyerything
so weiL I do admire an intelligent wo-
man. Let rue see, did you say you had
graduated-" Yes, at Mary inetitute."
" 0, that accounts for it. What the

Gates of Happiness.
All men and women should reibice to
remain part child all through. lifet, how-
ever long i,ts course may run.; The
runes, the dance, the anecdote, he _as-
sembly of friends, 'the feast, are as much
a part of humanity as its natural power
to laugh or to perceive -the points f wit.
Amusement is one of the forms of uman
happiness. Tiati happiness, lihe old
Thebes, has a hundred -gates for its 6m-
i:rig and going -the gates of tears, for
man weeps when be is happy amid
music or in revisiting his Mother's home;

When he reads "Gray's Elegy," or walks
in the rustFing autumn leaves ; the gate

the beauties of nature and art; the gate

happy when the coming days ate pic-

hatien. Of these hundred gates of hap-
ness amusement makes one -panned

Fire and Brimstone.
A West of Scotland cletgyman was
wang to the Highlands for his holidays
and being very fond of the "Nabob
Piekles'" he took a bottle with him

T ' "Nabob Pickles " are extremely
het, and should be sparingly used.1 Ai

the table and took out one or two elf

The clergyman said: " These are priv-
ate property, but you are welcome to
them." He passed the bottle across
the table. The Yankee emptied half
he bottle into his plate and stirred
iiern well up with his spoon. He took
big spoonful, but they were not long

George Gould's Fiancee.
i. While Jay Gould and his family are
f on a pleasure trip on board his yacht
titatente, George, the eldest son, has
TI 'en left at home to look after his.
f ither's affairs. He is a well built hand -
/3 tine fellow of a,boat 30 years. Now
Dame Rumor has it that he has been
p tying considerable attention to an
aetrese at Mr. Daly's theatre, and the
couple are engaged. George has been
or ten years very much sought after by
iiie young ladies in uppertendond, but he
. cella to have cautiously kept aloof from
hem. He has always had a fancy for
heatrical matters. His father recog-
i izing this, gave him Jim Fisk's celebrat-
ed theatre, the 4Jrand opera house,
which he still owns and manages. So it
was not a surprise to any of his friends
to learn that he ha fallen in love with
Mise Edith Kingdo , _ one of the pret
tiest au4 most reined of the ladies upon
the NevrYork stage. She may yet be
one of the wealthiest woneen in America.
Mr. Gould's moorne now is over $6,000,-
000 a year. This will increase in time,
and in the Wirral order of things George
will inherit the bulk of it.

In an eating -house in 'Glasgow a num-
ber of workmen wero taking their:din-
ner, part of which ! was potathei. With
their jackets on. An Englishman there,
thinking to take a jise out of a Scotch -
man (who was reading , the newspaper),
slylyshoved all ' the skins beside his
plate, and then said aloud, so as to be .
heard by all, " That fellow must have
taken an awful big dinner, if we judge
by the number of steins that are beside
his plate." The :Scotehman, not the
least taken aback,: replied ; " Ay, if ye
judge by the skins,, I think, I'm no' the
warst, for you seeto have eaten skins

Served T� em Right.
Once after lecturing at considerable
personal expense in a town some dis-
tance from Worchester, where I ex-
pected a remuneration at least sufficient
to reimburse me, I was merely tendered
a vete of thanks. 4 arose and requested
that the vote should be put in writing,
as perhaps the conductor on the train
would accept it for my fire. The • corn-
mittee took the hint and a liberal collec-
tion was then taken up for me. -John
B. Gough.
Comforting !
"Not long after he Indian mutiny I"
was in a • railway carriage, when a com-
fortable -looking geneleman expressed the
hope that the evil 'deeds of the rebels
had been, exaggerat4d. A silent man in
the corner of the 'carriage here inter-
posed: They tied me to a tree; they
killed My wife, my faithful servants,
and my children before my eyes.' The
comfortable -looking gentleman, by way
of being consolatory, said': Oh, you're
young yet; you'll marry- again, vtry
likely,. and have another family." -

Absent-Miinded. Men. '
The mechanic soils his work by
thinking of something else. A cooper
puts his 'son inside the barrel to hold up
the head, and finds evhen he has finish-
eade in the barrel,
e but 'through the
blunder. A dentist

ian :may prescribe
ed, that his boy is
with no way of esca

blunder.; A physi
the wrong medicine or a druggistenay-
put up the wrong pr. scription---criminal
blunders. Anottherl source is chronic,
permanent, and hab tual absentminded-
ness. Dr. Duncan; f Edinburgh, while
going to a meeting, jook out his paper
of snuff;, the wind lew ; he turned to
leeward to take his pinch, forgot that
he had turned, wa ked straight away
from the meeting, and failed to fulfil
his ell agement. Another eminent
Scotch 4ivine, Dr. Lawson, was con-
stantly blundering f, om this cause. He
was ofte so absorbin his studies as
to confo nd the real'ties of life with his
imagination. Once he left his lecture -
room Wiling with him a student's hat
il
instead of his own -ook, which he was
to carry home. A ,o ther time .he was
leaving the house With a lady's bonnet
on his head, the bonnet having been left
hanging on a peg where his own hat
ought to have been. Once, when walk-
ing in a heavy shower, a friend loaned
him an ombrella., which rwa g carefully
put under his coat, through fear of wet -
tine it. On one occasion, while in his
study, it -Gent on his books, the servant
rushed ie, exclaiming, "Sir, sir, the
house is on fire !" The doctor did not
intermit his studies for a moment, but
simply said, "Go and tell your mistress.
I have no charge of household matters,
so do not disturb me." The celebrated
Neancler Would start from his house to
his lecture in his night-gown, only to be
brought liaek by his !sister. Once, hav-
ing putone foot in the gutter, he hob-
bled' along the whole length of the
street, and as soon an he reached home
hastily sent for the doctor to cure him
of his imaginary larri nets.

A Cony -mem Argument.
They are telling a story on the de-
throned king of the dudes, E. Berry
Wall, about the clubls whieh may not be
true, but which is certainly not unin-
teresting. According to it, Mr. Wall
owed a bill of upward of $500 to a local
tailor The tailor tried to collect it by
deputy in vain, and finally' undertook to
gather it in himselfr He called half a
dozen times at the h 0 use of Mr. Wall's
mother, *here the exemplary young
person hes resided • since his finances
evaporated, only to learn that his debtor
was out. ;One day h waited and watch-
ed acrost the wa until he saw Mr.
Wall go in. He ga e him time to get
his top -coat off and : ollowed him. The
female servant wit °period- the door
denied that hl r. Wa I was at home, but
the visitor insisted t iat he knew he was,
and swore that he w uld not stir from
the hallway till he kaw him. He was
invited to sit down in- a hall -chair, and
Mr. Wall presentlyl came down. He
made the usual excuses about his bill,
which his creditor li Ltened to patiently.
When he had tinishe 1 the tailor said to
him irhan intense and terrible voice
"Mr. Wall, this it a hard winter, and
1 have workmen whit need money. You
and gentlemen like you refuse to settle
your billa; and my poor people have to
go cold and`hungry.1 I consider it less
of a crimeto kill such a person as you
than to stove or freeze honest men and
women te, :death. Clonsequently, if my
1
bill is not pealed by noon to -morrow, I
will shoot you dead he first time I meet
you." 1
A quivering female at the head of the
stairs cried out, ‘10h, my !" and the
_visitor hurried out 'and ran around the
corner to eelieve himself before he should
burst with laughter/. TNext morning a
servant brought him a check for the
amount of his bill ia an envelope bear-
ing 7e IV, crest. It was signed by
Mr. Wall'e mother.

Dutch Houses.
In the streets of Amsterdam one may
remark here and there a passage about
a'yard wide:- Eater this passage, and
you find yourself between a double
range of little coquettish brick houses,
with a garden divided off by hedges, or
by palisades slightly raised; and a num-
ber of little pieces of ground three or
four paces square; each belonging to the
house which faces' it. This is invaluable
to the Dutehmant It not only serves as
a drying -yard for the family clothes,
but as a place to ' dry and sweeten the
pots and kettles and kitchen utensils,
which are ' scoured unceasingly, and
which constitute the pride of the Dutch
household. Enter one of these houses
and you find yourself in the middle
of a room about fifteen feet .square,
having a front window'in the corner a
fire -place, provided with a small stove
sufficient for warrriing and cooking pur-
poses. One or two cupboards do duty
as pantries, whilst a deeper -one, inclos-
ing a bed and hidden by a curtain, is the
bed -chamber of the father and. mother
of the family. The ground is gener-
ally floored, but not always; the walls,
eight orn feet high, are whitened
1
where the enant has not papered them.
The furnit re of the apartment is gen-
erally sufficient and well kept. There
is no back door. In one corner of the
room a straight, step staircase leads to
the higher room) where the younger
members of the family sleep. An air of
order and cleanliness reigns all over the
house, and witnesses that care and
cleanliness are considered to be the
first of domestic virtues. For a house of
this kind the rent is 50-* to 65 cents a
week.

care for him ;is unsiverving. No sitting

CatarrhI-a New Treatment. '
r • I
Perhaps the Most extraordinary success that
has been achieved in modern medicine has been
attained by the Dixon Treatment for Catarrh.
Out of 2,000 patients treated during the past six
months, fully ninety per cent, have been cured
of this stubbol malady. This is none the less
startling when t is remembered that no five per
pent. of patients presenting themselves to the
regular practitioner are ' benefitted, while the
patent medicines and other advertised cures
never record a cure at, all. Starting with the
claim now generally.believed by the most scien-
tific.men that the diseaee is due to the presence
of living parasi es in tie tissue, Mr.' Dixon at
once adapted h' cure Ilo their extermination--
ehis accomplish dehe.clhims the Catarrh is prac-
tically cured, a d the permanency is unquestion-
td, as cures:effe ted by him four years ago are
cures still. No one else has ever attempted to
cure Catarrh in this manner, and no other treat'
ent has ever c red Catarrh. The application
. f the remedy ie simple, and can be dono at
-home, and the present season of the year is the
most favorable for 'a speedy and permanent cure,
the majority of eases being cured at one treat-
ment. Suffere should correspond with Messrs
