The crimson window curtains wore j
closely drawn to shut out the storm :
and tempest of the bleak December
night—the fire was glowing cheerfully
in the well filled gr ate, and the dinner
table all in a glitter with cut glass, I
rare china and polished silver, was on
ly waiting for the presence of Mr.
And ley.
“Aliiat can it bo that detains?’’
said Mrs. AvaTley, a fair, handsome
matron of about thirty, as she glanced
at the dial of a tiny enamelled watch.
“Six o’clock, and he does not make
his appearance.”
“There’s a man with him in tho stu
dy, mama—comes on business,” said :
Itobert Audlev, a pretty bay, eleven
years old, who was reading By the fire.
“I’ll call him again,” said Mrs. Aud
ley stepping to the doer.
But as she opened it, the brilliant
gas light fell fall upon the face of an
humble looking man, in. worn and
threadbare garments, who was leaving
the house, while her husband stood in j
the doorway of his visitor.
“Charles,” Mrs. Audio)-, whose cheek
had paled and flushedMflßp is tirat
man—and what doet hSBKt ?”
“His name is Moore, I believe, and
he came to see if I would bestow upon
him that vacant mossengership in the
bank.”
“And v. ill von?”
“I don’t know, Mary I must!
think about' it ?’’
“Charles'give him the situation.”
“Why lay lover
“Decause I ask it of you as a favor, j
and you have said a thousand times!
that you would not deny mo any-!
thing.”
“And I will keep my word Mary,” ;
said the lover husband, with an ailbe- |
tionate kiss. “I'll write the fell a note ;
this very evening. I believe I've got;
his addres somewhere about me.”
An hour or two iater, when Bobby, j
Drank and little Minnie were tucked!
snugly in bed in the spacious nursery !
up stairs, Mrs. Audley toM hpr hus-j
! iand why slie was interested in the j
fate of a man whose face she had not j
seen for twenty years.
“That’s right my little wife ?” said i
her husband, folding her fondly to his j
breast, when the simple tale was eon-1
eluded; “never forget one who lias]
been kind to you in the days when;
you needed kindness most.”
Ralph More was sitting the self j
same night in his poor lodgings, be
side his ailing wife’s sick !>ed, when a
liveried servant brought a note from
that rich and prosperous bank director
Charles Vudley.
“Good news Bertha!” he exclaimed,
joyously, as he read the brief words,
•‘we shall not starve Mr. Audley
promises me the vacant situation !”

Some time ago a gushing young Al
leghany “youthess” condescended to
favor a certain, young man with her
company to a social hop at a house
on the second bank. After arriving*
she concluded to receive the attentions
of another gentleman in the room,' to
the total exclusion of her escort. The
latter accepted the situation without
exhibiting any signs of displeasure,
not even demuring when ho discover
ed., at the termination of the festivities,
that the young lady was about to out
rage equ tesey and propriety to the
extent of allowing Ills more favored
rival to accompany her home. Meet
ing the young lady shortly afterward,
he gallantly accepted The explanation
sue olibred, and to prove Ills unselfish
devotion and forgiving spirit, he re
quested her comp my for a future ev
ening to Ole Bull’s concert, to which
she of course assented. When the
evening came, about seven and a half
o’clock saw the generous Adonis and
Lis female on their way to the Acade
my of Music. On arriving at the head
of the stairs, the young man suddenly
discovered that he had inadvertently
loft the tickets, which he had purchas
ed that afternoon, in an adiormug sa
loon. Stating the case to hi:? friend,
and requesting her to remain where
she was for a moment, he started down
stairs for the missing tickets, and for
got to come back. After waiting for
his return for a reasonable time, the
young lady concluded that she had
been nicely beaten at her own game,
and started down stairs chop-fallen,
and no doubt completely out of sorts
to think that she had so innocently
fallen into a well-set trap. On reach
ing the side-walk, she discovered on
the opposite side of tho sti eet a knot
of male friends of the fully avenged
lover, who had been informed of the
plot, and assembled to witness her de
feat and discomfiture.

CSy-Fire young men in Berlin lately
made an agreement, for a wager, to see
who of them could keep awake for a
whole week. They all held out for
about five days, and a half, by drink
ing largely of strong coffee, and keep
ing up a constant round of active ex
ercise and exciting amusements. At
the end of that time two of them yield
ed to drowsiness; a third soon fell
asleep while riding, tumbled' from his
saddle and broke his arm; a fourth
was attacked by severe sickness, and
compelled to retire from the list; the
fifth held out to the end, but lost
twenty-five pounds of flesh in winning
the wager. Long, ago, Frederick the
Great and Voltaire made a similar ex-,
periment, making use of the same
stimulant of strong opfxee, But they
did not succeed in driving away sleep
for more- than four days.

d:ivs Owing to the absence of

did very acceptably to those present.
In the afternoon a clergyman from a

infair Prcaebinp.
A correspondent of a contemporary,
protesting against the preaching of
long sermons, dwells with a particular
sense of injury upon the tactics employ
ed last Sunday by his own clergyman.
■ “I appeal,” he says, “to you and to the
public whether this was fair, viz: to
say ‘Lastly;’ then after a long interval,
‘Finally;’ then ‘Time permits me to say
no more than these last words;’ then,
‘To conclude;’ then ‘Just once more;’
and yet go on and on as if the sermon
had only just commenced? Further
was it fair, after coming to tlia end of
a pathetic description, which I venturo
to say nine-tenths of the congregation
took to be the end of the sermon, to
use tho words ‘And now,’ in the accus
tomed tone, which caused me and
some others to rise with commendable
alacrity, and yet to follow them up,
not with the well-known formula, but
with ‘Once again ?' ”...

long just beyond you on tho road to

“I will try to do it,” said (lie fanner;
“but to whom shall I look for she
1 pay?”
“Head,” said the pastor, “when you
go home, the first three verses of tho
forty-first Psalm, and then if you want
any hotter security for payment, call
on me.”
It was but a few days after, the old
gentleman mot his pastor, ami said,
“Hike tlmt security you mentioned,
and have no fear that it will fail me in
the time of need—for my heart so felt
the assurance when reading it that I
could scarce close my eyes that night.”

given by tho Holy Spirit, w hen the word
is taken as a practical truth, and obey

A joke H told of a preacher in Ne
braska, who had dined with a friend
just before afternoon servi ca As it
happened this friend occur onally luxu
riated in a smile of the ardent, and
sometimes carried a morocco-covered
flask iu his overcoat pocket. By mis
take the minister took the friends over
coat on his departure, and walking in
to the pulpit, began the exercises with
out doffing the garment, it being rather
chilly in the room.
Looking very ministerially over bis
congregation from behind his specta
cles, he began drawing from his pocket
as he supposed, his hymn book', with
the introductory remark that the con
gregation would sing from n particular
page which he had selected beforehand.
The minister held the supposed book
up in full sight of the congregation,
and attempted to open it sideways, but
it was no go. The situation was real
ized in a moment, but alfts! too late.
His reverence was dumfounded, tiio
audience giggled, and the whole scene
was made ludicrous by a fellow in tho
back part of the congrgoation, not
altogether too sober, who drawled out:
“Say, mister, kin we all (hie) jiue iu
