The saddest thing in life sometimes eome wh#n we are indulging in the most blissful antiripMinns of approaching plea'ure. It was so with one of onr most dagper and snsceptihlp young men leas than a brief month ago. A few ereninga s nee. he set out to risit her who was to him all that a mortal feminine angel eotild be. He was— he alwaya is— faultlessly dressed, and shed the odors of Araby the blest at every step, while he thought impatiently of the smiles and dimples and c- zy tete-a-tete that awaited him at—well, at a tery aristocratic residence in one of oor most aristocratic snborhs. Now it so happened that a tqnad «l small boys, led on by the dpmon of mis chief that seems to be erer hovering around where two or more small boys are gathered logrther, hsd been engaged for hall an hour in smrepti’ionsly ringing the bell of the aforesaid hon-e, Hnd hiding before it was answered, oa is Ibe habit of such youth They had repeated this little diversion till they had driven pater familins nearly wild with tbedesiie to lay hand-ion them, and after addressing 9n impressive anathema to the empty air after a trip to the door, he hsd aeat<d himself in the hall, ready for the next peal of the bell, just a moment bpfore our friend put in an appearance. The latter softly ascended the steps, pressed his hand upon a wildly beating heurt for on instant, gently twitched the b< ll pull, and was just in the act of passing his dainty handkerchief over his lips, and persuading a bewitching expression into his countenance, when he was appalled by the sudden opening of the door and the appearance of an exceedingly irate old gentleman, who addressed him with an expression more forcible than polite, and more emphatic than refined, while a vigor ous arm caught him by the collar, whirled him around, and projectsd him down the long flight of stone steps with a velocity that whs as great as it was unexpected. It was our hero’s first appmrsnee in the tab leau, hut there was never a mote impirssivt or successful dehut, or one before a more delighted audience. For an instant there was silence piofound, and then the old gen tleman gave a groan of,horror that seemed in its intensity to rumble up from the c-llar, snd fell back gasping for breath in speech less fright as he real r. d his mistake. There was a simultaneous appearance of a score of small hoys from behind shrubbery and statuary and projecting corners, who danced and shrieked and howled in o delirium of delight, while the central figure was » tall, slim young man, who, with handkerchief and cane in either outstretched hand, was going down the steps by a rapid succession of gy rations. and alternately imploring heaven to strike him deed before he r»ached the bot tom. and heaping imprecations on the man who invented the ulster that buttoned so low down and debarred the wearer the free use of his limbs and who finHl'y brought up inn half toot of mud and slush at the bottom, and railed over and over in unison with the shrieks of del'ght from the grinning chorus Oi attendant imps, where he lay in an agony of apprehension that he was still alive and had ta ect up at d meet all those boys and the ex'ensive audience of strangers that he felt mutt he gathered to welcome him. But just a* he had made up his mind that he had better lie still till the coroner sb nld be sent I lifted to his feet by the now ex ceedingly humble old gentleman, who sur rounded him with apologies and kindnesses. »ori brushed him off and dusted him down, •nd persuaded him up the steps again, and behaved altogether in a most proper and eontrit* manner The young man felt as th' ugh he should sny something, but for the life of him he could not find any language that seemed as though it were made lor the occasion. 80 he dismissed the thought and •akerf. as calmly as a man nrder snch cir eimatances might. “If Miss Gertie was in ?’’ She was; site was expecting him, and so thoroughly did she remove from his mind all remembrance of this little episode that the public would never have known aught of this literally correct history had it not been for one of the aodience. who confided it to bis sister —Cincinnati Gozettt. Napolwo* and Beatrice. —Mr. Smalley tells a very pretty story about the Prince Napoleon and the Prioress Beatrice, young est daughter of Qoem Victoria It seems that the aaibitioos prince, regardless of the fact that the empire he was to inherit has vanished into the past, hag permitted him self to tall in love with the pretty Beatrice, ard the latter is suspected of reciprocation. Hie warlike excursion to the Znluland is made chit fly lor the purpose of gaining over the heart of the Queen to bis cause Victoria has a weakness for the gallant warrior; and this, coupled with her well known fondness tor the late Emperor and her continued admiration ol the ex-Empiess Eugenie, leads the gossips to predict that the young beir-expectant will win bis prize when at length be returns with a row of Zulu ecafys banging at bis belt.— Vhta Her aid. That Checker-Board. Up to three svenings ago snch a thin? as a checker-board was never known in Mr. Grattan's house He and his aged partner havs managed to pass the long evening* very pleasantly, and h* euppoyed they were happy enough until a f'ir-nd from thee»=t paid them a living visit and asserted over ard over again that thp game of checkers was not only all the rage there, bet that it served to quicken the perceptive faculties, enlarge the mind nod render the Lrain rno-p active. After giving th» snbject dne thought, Mr. Grattan walked down town snd purchased a checker heard, and when evening eome lie snrpris'-d his good wife by bringing it io from 'he wosd-shed and saying : “Well, Martha we'll have a game or two before we go over to the eorinl. I expect to beat you all to flinders, bat you won’t care.” “Of course not. and if I beat you why you won’t care," she replied. They sit down, and he claim'd the first move. She at once objected, but when be l»eghn to grow red in the face she yielded and he led off At the fourth move she took a man, chuckling ns she raked Irm in. “I don’t see anything to grin at,” he sneered aa lie moved a man backwards. "Herel you can’t move that way!” she called ont. •‘I can’t, eh ? Perhaps I never played checkers beforp you were bora f" She saw a ohance to jump tw# more men and gave in Ibe point, but as she moved he cried out : * “Pul them men rigid back there I I’ve concluded not to move backwards, even if Hoyle docs permit it I’’ She gave in again, bnt when he jumped a man her nose grew red imd sh" cried out : “I didn’t m«un to move there, I was think ing of the social!” “Han't help the social, Martha—we must go by Hoyle.” In about two minutes she jumped two men ai d wei t into the king-row, shouting : “Oowd him ! crown him 1 I've got a king I" "One would think by your childish actions thnt you never ployed a game before!” he growled out. ‘ 1 know enough to bent you J” “You do, eh 7 .Same folks are awful smart.” “And some folks ain’t I” elie snapped, as her king captmed another man. “What in thunder ute you jumping thnt way for ?” 1 A king can jump any way I" “No he can’t!” "Yes, lie can I” "Don't talk back to me. Martha Grattan I I was playing checkers when yon were in your cradle 1” “I don't care I I can jump two men whichever wiiy you move I” He looked down on the board, saw that such was ihe cusp, and roared out: “You’ve moved twice to my oncel" “I haven't I” “I’ll take my oath yon have! I can’t play against snv such black leg practices!” “Who's a black-leg ! You not only cheated, but you tried to lie ont of it!” Board and checkers fell between them. He could get on his hat quicker than she eon Id find tiei bonnet, and that was the only n-Hson why he i>nt ont of the house first. A Woodward avenue grocer found him sitting on ii basket ot cranberries at the door as he I was dosing up for the night, nnd asked him if he was waiting for his wife to come along. "Well, not exactly ; 1 stopped here to tee I in my pocket for the key ot the barn. I shall sleep an the hay to-night and sea if it won’t cure this cold in my head I” Mark T«vain an* the Piutes. The Eureka Republican let’s about Mark Twain’s lecture in Dayton. Neb., some year* ago. His agent used to get up an excite ment ahnot the lectnre bv building a bonfire I” lore the hall and sending n file and drum through the streets an hour before the bc ginn.ng of the entertainment. He did this in Dayton, then n flourishing camp, and the Piutes naturally got the impression that some kind of an exciting show was to he given, and ibe chief tackled th# enterprising agent on the subject of half priced admis sions. and some thirty paid their half dollars nnd filed into the’hall Presently Mark made his appearance on the stage and b»gnn drawling away in his usual style. The white people laughed boisterously, hut the Indians looked puzzled, and utter standing it for fifteen minutes, they began whispering snd granting among themselves, and finally the chief got up arid went out to the box offire, and inquired when ihe tumbling was go ng to commense. and that • heap big fool” was going io quit talking. Upon learning that the perlormauce was going to be all talk, ang conveying this horrid information tn the ether Indians, they rose in a body, lelt the hatl'and swarmed to the box office, and de manded their money back The agent couldn’t think of snch a thing, and the Piuies went out in the street and gave vent to their feelings in war-whoops It looked for a few minutes as if the disgusted warriors would start in to wreck the hall and murder the lecturer A crowd of whiles, altraded by the loud, angry yells of the red men, gath ered, however, and Mark Twain wu9 saved to an admiring world.
