A JOKP THAT MISSED FIRE.
Cooiey’s o’drst boy is a little too
fond of playing practical jokes. The
other evening he went up into the
third stoiy back room, in which the
hired man sleeps, and fixing a piece
of stout twine to the bed clothes, he
ran it down stairs into his own room,
with the intent to remove the covers
from the hired man as soon as that
individual got into bed. The Cooleys
had just taken down their winter
stoves and they had the parlor stove
standing temporarily at the head of
the third story stairs.
'J he man discovered the strin“ just
as he wasretiriifgand comprehending
the motive of the intended trick he
quietly untied it and fastened it to the
stove.
The hoy meantime had gone lo bed
and forgotten about the string. But
about ten o’clock Mr. Cooley, who
was up stairs get ing apples in the
garret, caught his foot in the string
as he was coming down tire steps
He fell, and j ulled *he stove after
him, and Mie next moment, Cooley, a
pan of apples and about foily pieces
of stove, stove pipe, gmtes and brick
being were rattling down the st.irs
with a noise like a volley of musketry.
As Cooley lay on tiie landing, with
a pile of apples and cast iron heaped
upon him, Mrs. Cooley and the boy,
and the servants came rushingout to
ESCertnin what on earth was the mat
ter.
As they approached, Cooley said;
“Terrible, wasn’t it Y Awluilesi
eatthquake we ever had in this coun
t-y”
“Was there a real earthquake?”
asked Mrs. Cooley. “I diou’t let I a
shake,”
‘■Didn’t feel it?” exclaimed Cooley
taking a stove leg out of his shirt col
lar, and brushing the soot from his
clothes —diiin’t feel it? Why, my
gracious! The liou-e rocked like a
cradle. I thought she'd g clear over
ev-ry m ute. I’s the woist stu ck I
ever felt. Sent me ski) ping down
stairs, with things a ruttling after me
till 1 thought the roof had Dursted in.
There’s something queer about these
natu-al convulsions. The scientific
men say tli t the shake always kind
er move- i wave- from east t., west
so if it con.es from the—Hello! what’s
this?” exclaimed Cooley, discovering
the twine wrapped around his leg.
Who tied that string to that there
stove ?”
As be lookud around inquiringly,
d his old by snddently
mount upon the banister and glide
swiftly down to the first floor, where
he stood waiting for an offensive movt
ment on the part of his fattier.
Then Cooley leaned over the rail
ing and, shaking his fist at him, said;
You wi-ked little scoundrel! If
you ain’t a candidate fur the gallows
I’m no judge Y u come '-V litre
and go to bed and to-monow I’ll tan
vour hide with abed slat. You mind
me? I’ll give you ■ nougii eaithquake
to make >hi • - from here to 'he
equator,you Jtowheaded outcast:
Then the family vent h> and
the boy crept softly up the kitchen
siaiis, thli l<i gtln "- h* “ not much

FAREWELL old year—a long farewell—
The midnight dock now strikes the knell;
A sigh, a groan, a gasping breath,
A hush, a silence—ah ! ’tis death ;
What record hast thou left behind ?
Been cross to some, to others kind ?
Hew many sorrowing hearts have crushed?
How many cries of sadness hushed?
Hast thou not call’d the young and gay ?
And dragged the sportive child from play?
The strong man, boaeting in hisjjprime,
Has yieled lo the march of time ;
The matron and the gray haiied sire,
Have been the victims of ttiine ire.
Big fortunes thou hast piled for some,
To others, bast not left,a home.
Some rough h> ads thou hast disgraced,
From honor’s roll their names erased,
To others, regal sceptres gave,
As gifts belonging to the brave—
In short, old year, thy deeds must tell
How thou hast acted—ill or well.
For ihee, we’ll drop at least one tear,
And write "Farewell” upoi thy bier,
And then thy deeds and name inurn,
A- to the Nww Year now we turn.
Oh ! Welcome ! Welcome ! New Year bright,
Thrice welcome, with thy new horn light!
Pi ay totbo troubled beait give peace, f
And make each soul its murmurs cease;
Each honest brow crown with success,
The lazy curse—the busy bless.
Root out the haunts of vi e and crime,
And check Hie smear of seipant s slime.
With better thoughts our hearts inspire,
And may out aims in life be higher.
Thus causing some unstable mind,
Enticed by Wrong—to Right inclined.
Resolve at once the Right :odo,
Nor e’er again the Wrong pursue.
Friends, treat us not with haughty air,
For we would make a small request—
Aud hope yVli do your very best
To show your kind und generous soul,
By pulling rut your Greenback roll.
A dollar give where’er you can,
If not so much, why half n then;
Or, if this seems more than you ought to,
We’ll he content with but a quarter.
Nay not that you can nothing g vo,
For th.s we hardly can believe,
Because yout purse s lull of chink-
We kn -w it tionr the way you wink.
T‘ en cheer the faithful Currier's heart.
By giving of your funds e. par! ;
And see what radiant smiles will irrace
The whole circumference of his face.
In fact, I’m sure, if ’tie no sin,
He’ll give a big, old-fashioned grin.
And now, good people, one and all,
Accept the Carrier’s humble call
To merchants, lawyers, preachers,
Mechanics, doctors, landlords, teachers,
Who, to the printer’s honest devil,
Have been so generous and u civil,
\Ve HIV to you long tile he given,
Ami whan this etuis, a home in IIEAVEA .
