Not only am I better prepared to accommodate you in the way of apartments, but have increased my line in all sea sonable goods. This is my first season but I am assured, by the pleasant and most liberal patron age that I have enjoyed, that 1 can please you both til goods and prices if you will only give me an opportunity. My line includes Hats, Trim mings, Ornaments, Flowers, Rib bons, Gloves, Fans, Corsets, Hos iery, Umbrellas, Baby Caps, etc. See my goods before you buy elsewhere Most sincerely, Mrs, E, A. McElkeath It was certainly an odd adventure, and one in which I exhibited a de gree of audacity that I can scarcely credit now, but it brought me such good fortune that I never regretted it, especially with such a reputation for dignity as I now enjoy. It is not a very long story, yet I think it will interest you. My wife says I have told it too many times, but I believe it will bear one more repetition. It was in the year 1850. 1 was in the employ of a large mercantile house. 1 had begun with them six years before, fresh from a country town, and had gradually been pro moted until 1 was confidential clerk and had charge of the corps of book keepers which the business demand ed. 1 was of a reserved disposition, of studious habits and was fast be coming a confirmed bachelor when the events 1 shall narrate occurred, changing the tenor of my life. It was the month of December. 1 remember the evening as distinctly as though it were just past The snow was several inches deep, and the sky was filled with the small white messengers. The gaslights glimmered feebly, the Bhop windows were obscured, traffic in the street had nearly ceased, while the few who were out hurried as fast as pos sible to their respective destinations. Important business demanded my attention in Glasgow, and 1 was to leave by the midnight train for that city. 1 had taken my supper, or, more properly speaking, a light lunch near the office, where 1 was employed until 10 o'clock with the accounts and papers which were necessary in the transaction of the business which called me away. 1 looked at my watch and found I had but scant time to go home and get my valise, which I had unfortunate ly (as 1 then blindly hoped) forgot ten to bring with me. As I stepped out into the wintry air and breasted the storm the sen sation, instead of being unpleasant, was rather exhilarating, i found ia a few moments, however, that the storm was more severe than I had imagined, and my progress was very difficult It took me much longer than 1 anticipated, so 1 was in a great hurry. 1 lived in a long row of houses, all just alike. 1 knew nothing of those who lived upon either side, for 1 was away early in the morning, was gone all day, and after 1 got l>ack at night devoted myself to my pipe and Ixioks, very rarely going out again. The storm seemed to have re doubled its fury ns 1 went up,the steps and opened the door. I Vas almost blown into the hall, and tie door swung behind mo with violence. All was dark, but 1 knew just where my valise was, all ready. So 1 crept up stairs cautiously to avoid further disturbance, found my room door open and in the corner where I ex peeted my valise. Without an instant’s delay 1 rushed down stairs and was soon out in the blinding sleet. 1 was really exhaust ed when I got to the station, and to add to my trials I was just in time to 6ee the train slowly moving off. After a sharp run I caught the last carriage, recovered my breath os soon as I could, put my valise into a rack and settled myself for a nap. When 1 awoke, it was morning, and I found to my dismay that we were snowbound and had made but little progress on our way. There was nothing to do, however, but make the best of it I read awhile, smoked awhile, even lent them a hand in clearing the line, and after other devices to kill time thought I would look over my buri' ness matters. As 1 took down my valise it felt so light it attracted my attention at once, so I involuntarily looked it over attentively. It cer tainly appeared right, and there were my initials, C. S. R., in the proper place. Something instinctively told me 1 had made a mistake, and before opening I tried to think how it hap pened. Although 1 had taken it in the dark, 1 recalled the stairway, the room at the end of the upper hall, the position of things as they ap peared in what little light there was and the valise in the corner whence I took it There could be no mis take, and yet this valise seemed only about half as heavy as it ought to be. It may appear strange that J had not noticed it before, but in my hur-' ry to the station I doubt if 1 should have noticed it had it been empty. To solve the mystery I opened it, and the contents certainly were not mine. Perhaps some of the fel lows in the house had played a trick on me. I found some toilet ar ticles, some apples, a book, and at the bottom a roll which appeared to be my papers, but which proved to be a lecture in manuscript upon “Grecian Art,” with the name Ches ter Sylvanus Richardson at the end. Who the dickens he was remained a mystery, and how I came by his va lise is a still greater problem. After more study over it it flashed upon me that I must have gone into one of the other houses in the row. This eased my mind a little, though I still felt anxious about my papers. There was nothing to do but exercise E tience, and so I began reading the rture. Although somewhat be- 4 ' yond my acquirements. I found it in teres ting and instructive. Toward 4 o'clock in the afternoon we arrived at Carlisle. As it was impossible to transact my business in full without my papers, and I was weary with the slow progress I had made, I formed a sudden resolution to stop over night in Carlisle, tele graph for my valise and go to Glas gow some time the next day when it arrived. The snow about the town was fair ly beaten down, considering the fierceness of the storm and the short hurry, but leisurely passed along the platform in the rear of the other pas sengers. As I was about to step off the platform, to my surprise two gentlemen of nice appearance seemed about to accost me, but as they were total straugers to me I of course sup : posed myself mistaken and passed on. j In a moment they were by my ! side, and one of them said very po ; litely: “Excuse me, professor; I thought it was you, but did not feel sure un til I saw the initials on your valise. I am sorry you have had such a rough journey, but I can assure you a good audience despite the storm.” I was so dumfounded that I could not resist his efforts as he and his friend escorted me to a carriage, placed me in it and then entered themselves. Before I had a chance to speak the elder gentleman said: “1 trust, professor, you will at once feel at home with us. You have many warm friends in tho town, though you are a stranger per sonally to us.” “Yes,” broke In the other man; “I Look here, Bill,” to the other man, “didn’t Professor Richardson lecture here last night?” Oh, what should 1 do if recognized as the impostor I “I don’t know,* 1 was the answer. “I heard he did, though.” “Well, here is a message to Mr. Lincoln from him, which says be couldn’t come on account of the 6torm. Something funny somewhere. I'd better get this up to him as soon as possible.” So off he started to find a boy to carry the message. Whatever 1 did must be done quickly. I found that a train left in 20 minutes. I rushed back to the Lincolns' house, got in without being seen, grabbed my va Use and was soon on my journey to Glasgow, whence I telegraphed for my proper valise. My heart smote me for treating my host so, but I felt the worse at not being able to bid adieu to Miss Lily. As soon as I arrived at my hotel 1 sent the following note to Mr. Lin coin: Dear Sir—Unexpected circumstances forced Am Mr. Ackerin&n, chairman of the meintoasfiur in? the character of one far more lecture committee, and my friend 1 * ot d«.rvin g «han my. i “ J . self. 1 shall renew our acquaintance In propria here is Mr. Lincoln, who would in gist you should make your headquar ters at his house.” I saw what their mistake was, but how to get myself out of the matter caused me to fall into a reverie, dur ing which my companions ceased to talk to me. A few moments’ thought, and I determined to perform the part so unexpectedly thrust upon me and give the lecture as best I could. Thanking the gentlemen, and fearing the conversation might drift into channels where I could not sustain it creditably, I begged permission tore- main quiet, as my journey had been very fatiguing. We speedily arrived at a handsome residence, into which 1 gladly en tered. I was ushered into a warm, pleasant sitting room, and when left alone my conscience began to smite me. I bad not long to reproach my self when 1 heard the sound of a woman’s voice, and Mr. Lincoln’s wife entered and cordially bade me welcome. In conversing with her I discovered that I was a very learned and eloquent professor, and that the public were very eager to hear me. I trembled at my audacity, but 1 could only carry out the character 1 had so rashly assumed. t The lady in formed me that her son, who was very intimate with me (then I shud dered), was away (here I breathed freely), but I should meet her daugh ter lily. The lady left, and after a brief quiet, which seemed hours to me, 1 heard voices in the hall. There was evidently an intention to speak in a low tone, but nevertheless I heard all that was said distinctly, as the door was slightly ajar. “What is this wonderful prodigy of learning like, mamma? Is he a solemn faced man, with rleek hair, spectacles and erudition written on every feature? Have I drawn a cor rect picture, mammal” “Oh, no, indeed!” was the answer. “He is much unlike what Charlie's letter had led me to expect. He is really a fine looking man, very gen tlemanly and very pleasing to con verse with, but I must say 1 should never suppose be was such a learned man as be undoubtedly is.” 1 begun to feel doubly guilty and had not recovered my composure when Miss Lily entered the room. She was such a vision of loveliness that my discomfiture was increased 1 know I must have seemed really stupid, bu my supposed wisdom doubtless encouraged her to overlook it, and the grace of her welcome com pleted the fascination her first ap pearance h«d created. We were soon talking so eagerly thut I forgot my embarrassment. 1 was delighted to find that her range of reading and thought were such that we could talk very intelligently together. I pretended to be a great lover of music, and our conversation turned upon that topic, so that when her mother came to call ns to tea we were singing together and enjoying each other's society os though we had been friends for years. Tea was soon over, and the event ful moment was near. I overheard Miss Lily say to her mother in a whisper, “Mamma, he is splendid.” This infused me with fresh courage for the ordeal. Mr. Lincoln, Mrs. Lin coln, Miss Lily and I drovo together to the halL The sight of the brilliantly lighted room and the expectant people mado my knees tremble and my heart beat quickly, but I left my companions and made my way to the anteroom, where I found my friend, the chair man, facing a hall full of intelligent looking people and conspicuous among them the bright eyes and charming face of Miss Lily. I do not know what it was the chairman said. I only know it was a panegyric upon me, and that when he said, “I now have the honor and the pleasure of presenting to you the celebrated lecturer and scholar. Pro fessor Richardson,” I arose and stood before them, undecided whether to speak or to turn and run. The applause which followed gave me a little time to brace up. So, spreading the manuscript upon the desk, I began. I had devoted a little time to elocution and had looked over the manuscript in the train, so I was fairly familiar with it, and as I proceeded 1 kept gaining additional courage, and the lecture was deliv ered in a way that astonished myself and won repeated plaudits. A vote of thanks to me was unan imously passed, the audience dis- E rsed, and I was soon seated in Mr. ncoln’s pleasant home, where he poured out a stream of congratula tory remarks. Miss lily was silent, but I thought her looks indorsed her father's speech. I was much tired by my exertions and gladly availed my self of the excuse to retire. Alone in my room, the possible con sequences of my evening's lecture troubled me. I was deeply impressed dy Miss Lily’s beauty, culture and be witching manners. But how could 1 continue the acquaintance? I could not long remain in the character of professor, and an attempt to explain might complicate matters the more. Tho only way open was to leave with out explaining and contrive some way in future to atone for my folly So after breakfast I took a long walk, during which I considered mat ters, and at last stepped into a tele graph office to send for my valise, which had almost escaped my recol lection. While standing in the office preparing my message, a man came in and began chatting with the oper ator. Just then the instrument h persona In a way that I hope will entitle me to yonr confidence and excuse the deception 1 bare practiced. With much esteem and re spect. yours, C. 8. Roc’ubstxr. I heard afterward what excitemert followed the delivery of the telegram and the discovery of my absence. Mr. Lincoln and his wife were fu rious, but Miss Lily was confident it would come out all right. Somehow, when my note was received, it tended somewhat toward softening her fa ther’s anger, but it was a mystery for some time to them alb The professor made a trip to the place to investigate the matter and was invited to lecture. I am vain enough to be pleased with the fact that the people declared the false professor was the more eloquent of the two. Later I called upon the professor and told him the whole story. He laughed heartily at my venture and proved to be a capital fellow. Our ac quaintance ripened fast, and it was not long before I was in 8 again with a cordial indorsement from him. Miss Lily answered my ring herself, and her look of astonishment I shall never forget. The reading of the professor's letter made everything satisfactory. Mr. Lincoln laughed loud and long as 1 told him how I felt upon my former visit. I called again and very often, and one day there was a wedding in that pleasant town, at which Miss Laly became Mrs. Rochester.—Ex change. An Iron Theater Curtain* An interesting development In the use of theater curtains, especially against the spread of fire, is now seen in many theaters. Mr. Charles J. Phipps, F. & A., the architect, for instance, has always contended that the value of the proscenium wall in theaters was nullified by the large opening on to the stage being left open and free from any protection. The difficulty was to construct a rigid curtain that would withstand the action of fire on either side for at least a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. A curtain on the principle of a revolving shutter had been tried in London and the provinces, but Mr. Phipps was tho first architect to in troduce into this country an iron cur tain that formed one unbroken divi sion between the stage and the audi torium and all practically welded in one piece. A curtain of this kind which costs somewhere about £G00 is erected at the Prince of. Wales’ theater. It is constructed upon an iron framework with sheets of boiler plate on either side, the curtain lieing thus a double curtain with an air space between of about five inches. Thirty-two feet wide and about 30 feet high it is raised by means of hydraulic rams on cither side, the apparatus being worked by a small lever on the prompt side of the proscenium. The time taken in coming down is less than half a minute. When the enrtain has descended, it rests upon a solid wall of brickwork, cemented over and brought up level with tho floor of the stage. It weighs some six tons. —Million. Coffins For Exhibition Only. Not long ago a Russian Jew family had a funeral, and before tho cere mony took place the head at the house visited a local undertaker, say ing, “Have you a coffin with a mov able bottom?” He spoke in a singu lar patois, and the undertaker had great difficulty to comprehend bis intention. He wanted a “show” cof fin in which the body was to be tak en to the cemetery and lowered into the grave. Then the coffin most be drawn out of the grave, leaving its bottom lid with the body in the ground. The coffin was to be re turned to the undertaker and the man pay him for the use of it Poor Russians, it appears, are in the habit of burying their dead in that way, and undertakers in that country have a supply of show or “remov able” coffins to let. They are hand some and costly ones—too expensive to be purchased outright by the poor —with elegant lining and heavy sil ver trimmings. The bottom is fas tened to the body of the coffin with springs that may be tripped, and then it is released together with the body. The body is left in a plain, cheap box. The Norwich undertakers had no such contrivance, so the poor Rus sian consulted with his friends, who united with him in having a show coffin constructed and paying for it It is to be used hy them henceforth as a “community" coffin.—Norwich Cor.
