By-and-by it, will bo “Mr. Daniel,” They all call me now “Little Dan,” I'll tell you in rhyme what I fancy Will happen when I am a man. I’ll have a big garden for peaches, And cherries, and everything nice; With the cutest of fixi» s for rabbits, And pigeons, and dogs, and white mice- I’ll have a big house, and a stable; And of horses, the handsomest span That ever you feasted your eyes on, ’Tis likely, when I am a man. A cane I will twirl in my Angers, A watch-guard shall garnish my vest, No fear of expense shall deter me, My raiment shall be of the best, A on my finger shall glisten, And the eunningest, sleek black-and-tan Shall trot at my heels as I travel, I’m thinking, when I am a man. No pol.oi.ous MOP, I * From foul smelling pipes I 11 be free nogo wasn ! t made for a chimney, No snuffing or chewing for me. Now my soul I’ll possess with great pa- tience, And as well as a little toy ean I will set them a better example; Won’t I lecture tiiem when I m a man? I’m a boy, so there’s no use in talking; People snub me as much as they please; For the tots of my shoes are of copper, And my stockings come over my knees. I’ve told you the whole of my story, As I prom.sod to when I began; I’m young, but I’m daily a-giowing, t Look out for me Whem I’m a man. —John S. Adams, in Youths Compan ion. An Unlucky Raid. In the good old days of the Bow Street runners, when highway as¬ saults were life, aud solitary post- chaise travelers never journeyed with¬ out pistols in their pockets and tremor at their hearts; when strange feats in the shape of st.ivligbt robberies were boasted of, and a ‘Knight of the Hoad, aspirc-d to be called a gentleman, the following incident occured. One afternoon in early autumn, close upon sunset, a couple of well dressed men, driving a light gig in which was a poor jaded looking horse stopped at a wayside posting-inn not a hundred miles from Bath, aud re¬ quested accommodation for the night. They were fashionably attired, and spoke iu condescending tones to the landlord and servants, using a few words nowand again of town slang, as young bucks of the first water were proud to do in that day. Giving the horse and gig over to the care of the ostler, they adjourned to the public room and called for some light refreshments iu the shape of drink, ordering a supper to be served later. The landlord himself brought iu the brandy-and-water. •What's this story about a great highway robbery near here last night landlord’‘questioned one. ‘We heard of it on the road coming along. Is it true? 1 ‘Quite true, sir. Ah gentlemen! it is a dreadful thing—though clever 1 must say. My Lady Centifere with her two daughters was driving home across the heath an hour or Uo after midnight, having been to.a ball, when their carriage was stopped by four mounted horsemen with cocked pis¬ tols. The old lady screamed and fainted; the young ones screamed and kicked and the gentlemen, those au¬ dacious robbers, proceeded politely to rifle the ladbs of every ornament they wore.* ‘Scoundrels! 1 interjected one of the ‘Wore than that, your worships. What should those bold blade, do but inv it e the damsels to tread a measure with them! It was a fine night, as you tray perhaps remember sirs, the »»» t— Oh tho bare heath. Out of the coach they handed them> aad footed it in a min • ute, daneiug, it is said, to perfection as though they wero used to lead out ° the King's own daughters every night G f their lives. The young ladies' screams ended in laughter, the Ba- roness woKe up nom i<uu& auu them all, robbers and daughters to¬ gether. O, they are b rid,those gentle¬ men of the highway 1‘ The two gentlemen, listening to this had gone into bursts of laughter. ‘But what of the men-servants?—what ARLINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1882. were they doiug? 1 spluttered one. ‘Ouly two were in attendance, sits, it seems; my lady's footman iu the dickey,and the postilion ou the horses aud while two of the robbers were thus doing their dancing the other two stood guard over the men, each with Iiis postol cocked and his hand cn the trigger, ready to fire at tho least move¬ ment. 4 ‘And the upshot?' The young ladies were bowed into their coach again, all with stately cere mony, aud the robbeis, after wishing them a very courteous good night, rode off at a canter, with every jewel they had possessed, small or large, costly or simple, and my lady's purse iut.o the bargain. They may well boast that they lead merry lives, those men ! Fine commotion the news has caused round about us to-day, as you may imagine, gentlemen. Every¬ body's talking of it.‘ The landlord, being called for else¬ where, retired, the travelers sipped at their glasses,laughing away, aud con¬ versing with one another in an uuder- tone. Dusk came on, and the elder and taller of the two addressed his friend in a different tone. 'About time to see after the horse, isn't it. Jim? It s dark enough. t ‘I was ju^t going to,' answered Jim And draining his glas3, he went away to the stable-yard. Lookiug about him with the air of a connoisseur, after watching his horse eat up his oats he made himself ac¬ quainted with the arrangements of the stabUs.’ Some five or si’s horses were in them. In the box next to his own stood a splendid animal evidently val¬ uable. ‘A better steed nor yonr'n sir!' cried the ostler from beh nd,in a quiet voice, aud the gentlemen gave a start not thinking anybody was uear. ‘Ay, mine lias seen good service, and he has been worked hard lately,' answered the stranger, good humored- ly. ‘A very fine animal this, as you observe. And yet,' stepping back to look critically at it, ‘were my horse iu good condition it might not be much inferior to this. They are not alto¬ gether, uulike about the same height and much the same iu color— brown. 4 With the last words, the stranger went back to the house whistling. The ostler peeied after him through the dusk while he made his com. ments. ‘Yon have got a cheek, master who¬ ever you may be, and a impudent cheek it is. Going and preparing of two horses like that!—this fifty guinea beautiful animal,and that there wrech- ed old hack o' tlieirn! What next? I wonder who they be, when they be at home?' And with that, he locked the stable door. ‘Well* cried the elder traveler when the other one returned. ‘Any chance?' ‘Never had a better chance in all our lives,* was the answer, ‘In the next box to ours stands one of the grandest animals you ever saw—same color, same size or about it; worth a little fortune. And a set of silver- mounted harness hanging up by him!' •Silver mounted?' ‘Think so. Looks like it. We have got a rich chance, I tell you, Wade.'* Supper was announced in due time, and the hungry men did justice to it. Afterwards they sat over the fire with pipes and grog, and retired to their room about eleven o'clock. The room, a double bedded one, was not exactly on the ground floor, but it was not much higher. A few steps leading from the stair case conducted to it. The travelers had chosen it in preference to one at first assined them on the second floor, one of them ob¬ serving that he liked to sleep near the ground in case a fire broke out in the night, of which he had a peculiar dread. The first thing they did on entering the chamber was to double-lock the door and put the candle out; the second was to softly open the window, to stretch their necks out of it as far as they conveniently conld, and to wish the moonlight was “hanged. “ “Nothing of a drop, that,'* observ¬ ed Wade, measuring with bi» eye the space to the ground. “A child might jump it. Shut down the window, Jim, and let's have a pipe. Hang that moon again! I thought you were wrong in foretelling ic would he a dark night." Shutting the window as softly as ho opened it, Jim and his friend, each taking a short, well -worn pipe from his pocket, sat down to smoko- From another pocket came forth a finsk of some kiud of liquor. Thus they made themselves comfoitable, and seemed to forget all about bed. At auy rate,neither of (hem attempt¬ ed to go to it. They sat on, and srncked, and drank at the flask oc¬ casionally, aud whispered together in hushed tones. At last tho clock struck two. Ouo of them rose, drew aside the window cm tain and looked out. A suppressed shout of exultation broke from him. “Wade, Wade! the uight has changed. lt‘s raining, aud the moon is gone. I knew rain was coraming.“ “Man alive, dont make that ro\v.“ 'retorted the other. “We don't want the house woke up! ' Tutting away their pipes and flasks, they opened the window witii crafty gen tleness, aud dropped down on the ground outside it, one after the other. The night was very dark, no lighter glimmer of it, was to be seen auy where. Making their way round cautiously to the coach-house and stables, Jim pro¬ duced a master key which undid the locks. The stable door he undid was the one that had the valuable horse in it; and lie was surprised to find what an easy lock it was. TlieD, while the other man kept vatch he hastily aud noiselessly attached the horse to their own gig, using the harness he had ad¬ mired so greatly. Tbs rain was dash¬ ing dowh smartly, which tended to deaden other sounds. When all was leady they cautiously led tho horse and gig out of the yard, and to a dist¬ ance beyond it, got in and drove away at a spanking pace. So far they were well-satisfied with their night’s work, and congratulated themselves on the valuable prize they bad captured in the horse and harness. It’s true the horse appearedjto require the whip pretty frequently, and Jim, who was driving, did not fail to ad¬ minister it. “Lazy beggar! he has stuffed him¬ self oat with corn,' 4 ciied he. “You shall fast all this day, my gentleman, and that will bring you into working order. What a pelt it is!“ looking up at the pouring rain. “Should say this was the clearing shower." “What'll the job bring us in, Jim?" “Twenty pounds, clear, I reckon. And an old hack thrown iu to complete the bnrguiu.' 4 Oq the heath now,they began laugh¬ ing over the past night's adventure there, as related to them by the land¬ lord. They had no fear of the high¬ waymen themselves, uot they, such gentry do not prey upon one another. ‘‘Hang it, Jim! can’t you drive fast er?“ cried Wade, suddenly. Jim made no answer. Ho was begin¬ ning to feel somewhat puzzled, for, unless he was greatly mistaken, the beautiful horse betrayed uumistakable signs of giving in. Their own wretched animal could do as well as this. Pres¬ ently it stopped; stopped dead from exhaustion. “What the deuce is the matter with him?“ demanded Wade 4 -Be shot if I know- He Beems dead beat. It's co dark one can see no.hing. Wish that moon would come out!—the rain has ceased.' 1 'Well,' this is a pretty go exclaim¬ ed the other, as the horse, in spite of whip and word, refused to move, ‘JBrougnt up before one's half beyood dauger, with a stolen horsel You must have been mis uken in the worth of the animal, .Jim, never knew you mistake one before.' ‘It beats me hollow,'returned Jim, his crestfallen tone betraying some alarm. ‘As to being mistaken in him I know I never was; there. Some¬ thing extraordinary must ail the horse. He jumped out of the gig and be¬ gan feeling the animal with his hands. At the same moment the coy moon burst out from behind the clouds and shone down in all her splendor. Jim felt the horse,stared at it and star¬ ed again. The other one on the gig was also gazing curiously. Sirnul- taneouly a shout of dismay, followed by an imprecation, burst from both of them. They had Stolen their own horse, Some mutual recrimination ensued. Wade accausing Jim of having made a mistake and opened the wrong sta¬ ble; Jim vowing by all that’s blue that be had opened the right one. ‘Anyway, \ve‘ve got tho harness,' pleaded Jim. 2 he remark caused Wade to turn his eyes ou ilqits siiver poiuts were glitter¬ ing in tho moonlight. A closer glance, and tlieu another augry shout broke from him. ‘Look here, you fool—here's a crest. ‘Hey—wbat?‘ cried Jim, turning round. Sure enough, tho silver-mounted harness bore a family crest with its Latin motto, aud conld no doubt be identified anywhere. Certainly this night's anticipated spoil was uot lucky iu any way. Next morning the landlord of the inn was intensely surprised at the dis¬ appearance of the travelers, and at the spiriting away of some harness that belonged to tbo young Viscount Dare. He stood iu the stable yard talking with his ostler. ‘But for me his lordship's boss would h‘ gone, too, cried the ostler stolidly. ‘When I see oue o‘ the two gents a poking and peering about here last night under the cover of the dusk, and see him gazing at the fine animals with hungry eyes, and next watched him a. fingering the sta¬ ble lock,it struck mo what he might bo after—tho wanting to have a try at changing their own sorry hacK for this oue. So tile last thing at night, before turning in,I changed the bosses; putting thtir'n iu the host stable, and t'other hero, and made him safe with my bar and padlock which can't be picked. And they've just been and gone away with their own.' •Why didn't you change the harness as well?" •Well I never tiiougt o'the harness. ‘ But in course of the day a messenger brought the harness back—and did not wait to ask for that of tho travel- ers. So the landlord, by tho bargain, got a set of plain hnrnesss which really was not bad, and he let the un¬ lucky thieves alone,— Tye Argusl. Wanted t » Pool. A New Yorker had business in one of the mountain villages last week, was followed to the depot, when ready to take the train, by a native, who confidentially inquired: ‘Arc you an undertaker ?‘ ‘Oh no.‘ ‘Didn't known but you was an un¬ dertaker looking for an opening hero, and I'd like to pool with you. I own tho grave yard here, aud we could run the business to suit ourselves. Are you a a doctor? 4 ‘No.' 'Didn't know but you was. I've got the best place in town for a drug store,and l‘d furnish themedcines aud you do tho doctoring, and we‘d pool. Maybe you are a lawyer?' ‘No friend.' ‘I thought if you was we would fix it all right, one of my brothers being the Justice of the Peace and the other Constable. I'd be the silent partner and sue every man in town to make business. Like enough you are a preacher.* ‘Wrong again.' 'Well, I am sorry. I've got a mort gage on the best church building here and if you was only the right kind of a preacher we'd pool in aud iu less'n three mouths we‘d have (he the dead wood on every soul worth saving. An elderly lady, who was very in¬ dignant at the conduct of a mau iu a streetcar, who was smoking, punched the driver in the back with her um¬ brella, and asked: ‘Driver, ain't it agin the rules to smoke iu this car?* ‘You can smoke as much as you please madam,if the gentlemen don't object,’ was the reply. Then she pulled the strap and got oat. ----- An ossoctatiou has been organized in New York, one object of which is to provide houses of reception for fe male immigrants, where they will, not be exposed, to help them to employ¬ ment and by correspondence between societies here aud in Europe, to regu late their coming by the conditions of Supply and demand.— N, Y. Star. Vol. III. No. 26 Here's Luck. The man who stood at tho bar had •set ’em up’ several times that evening, and now he was treating the crowd again. The different parties had given their orders for tho kind of ‘poison’ they liked best. One man sa\d, ‘I’ll take mine straight.’ another,‘shug in mine,’ another,‘a red and rosy sling, aud don‘t you forget it,’ undone man said, ‘give me a Niagara Falls;’ and then they clinked glasses and the ono who wanted 'Niagara' Falls' said ‘here's luck!' and tossed it off witii a shiver of satisfaction or disgust, it was hard to tell which. When tho man who was treating heard that hoarse voice say ‘here's juck,‘ ho looked at the speaker ani turned n deathly white; he knew tho man; he had taught him to drink his first glass; he had lured him from home and the companionship of his wife aud children, aud kept him out night after night with the boys; they were botii nobby fellows then, young with all the world boforo them. It was only ten years since, and now they were poor, disreputable, aud drunkards! The mau who said ‘here 1 * luck,‘was in rags under his seedy overcoat; the mau who had treated had pawned his overcoat for enough to pay for those drinks. The family of the first had left him—the wife aud children of the other man were starv¬ ing under a roof they owed for. So if he had encompassed his friend‘s min, ho had not prospered himself, but as the man he had dragged down with him uttered the careless 'hero‘s luck! * it struck him like a blow, and for a moment a panoramic view of what his life might have been, flashed before him; then he sat down with the com¬ pany to a game of cards. The wish of his friend for luck seemed to work good. It might be questionable if that was luck which brought him money to be expended iu drink, but he won several small sums and was still playing When his vis-a-vis drew his pistol and held it cocked in his hand. The men dropped their cards, but tho man who hid his hand on tho trig- ger was not looking at them; his eyes were fixed on a section beyond the screen, where a section Of counter was visible with some tempting food set out in platters. 'Maybe you think I‘m drunk,' said the mau in a husky voice. ‘Watch a moment aud see me w-wing that ere k-kid.‘ Tho men followed the direction cf his eyes and saw a small white hand and arm stretched out from in front of the scrcou. It secured a slice of meat and drew quickly back. ‘I’ll learn th-ttie k-kid a lessen, and ‘11 teach it not to steal and keep, out of the penitentiary, if I break i f i ar-ra. Can do it, too, what'll you bet?’ ‘Don-t fool with the child,’Dave, 4 he said quickly. ‘I ain't drunk, but I wouldn't wan't to do any shooting ‘thout any provocation, tain‘t our biz, anyhow. “ But as he Spoke, the pistol went off in the hand of the drunken marksman and the shrill, agonized cry of a child rang through the miserable place. God, I didn't it,’ cried 'Fore mean the frightened wretch as he wa caught by the collar; 'I only meant to sea scare it.’ An hour later, the saloon was clear¬ ed of all but an officer in charge, and in tho small room adjoining, the dy mg child, for she was fatally shot, was laid on a rickety couch, and tho doc¬ tor had told them nothing could be done for her. Prone beside her, lay the man who had treated, holding tho wan white fingers already cold in death. Tho child could not see; her eyes were fast glazing, but she kept her whispering to the man beside from time to time: ‘Forgive mo papa; I did not mean to steal 1* •My God!‘ moaned the wreteked father, ‘she asks me to forgive her when I left her to steal or starve? 4 ‘I was looking for you, 4 continued the child, ‘but I was so huDgry! I took the food—it looked so good. Papa, it‘s beautiful here, all light and warmth— there's no fire at home and nothing to eat—we‘ll stay here won't W6? fc dead. They In as hour she was took tier home, aud kind people cared for the others till she was away and tho tide of life weDt on without her. Whether she died in vain time will tell but her father is missed from the haunts of sin, and he will never forget the challenge of that fatal night —‘Here's luck!'
