forehead fair any in your dreams and if you could
reach through that chair back without fear
of offence, and suffer your fingers to play idly with
those curls that escape down the neck, and if you
could clasp with your other hand those little white
taper fingers of hers which lie so temptingly within
reach, and to talk softly and lovely in the presence
of the place. while the hours slip with out knowledge

Riitz I'm a Tight Place.


Sgnor Blitz is we'll known throughout the coun-
try as the prince of magicians and ventrioquists,
who hocus pocus any thing into other places in
the most ineXplicabe and mysterious manner. while
his audience wrapped in establishment at his as
founding feats He can also throw his voice into
any spot within hearing distance, and can initiate
the language of animals themselves. He is noted
for his tact and self-posession and is usually equal
to any emergency in which he finds himself placed.
We never knew the Signor " set back and COM
pletely fabbergasted' but once, and then it hap
pened in country town in Connecticut, in this
wise The Signor, contrary to his usual CUSTOM had
consented to stop at this town his route through
New England by the assurance of certain persons
that it would pay we'll for the trouble, as amuse-
ments were scarce. and the = fee list small. He
accordingly gave short series of performances in a
large hall in the principal tavern of the place which
was large old-fashoned structure. The hall was
crowded to it's fullest each of the evenings, and
every thing worked to admiration until the last even
ing when mischievous boarder conceived the idea
of slightly varying the entertainment
One of the most popular things in the whole en-
tertainment the ventrloquism, when the Signor
held animated conversation with " Peter in the
chimney, which was situated side of the hall.
| near the middle. The aforesaid boarder aware
that the smOkehOuse, in which his daily slice of ba-
con cured, situated over the hall, and an
aperture in the main chimney at that spot gave
to the ue which led from the fire. place of the
ballroom. He accordingly captured large cat and
| enscOnced himself in the smoke house, just before
the feat of ventriloquism to begin When the
Signor commenced calling for Peter" he allowed
him to with the imaginary interlocutor for
short time without interruption but when Blitz
requested Peter to down the fireplace
for little familiar chat the boarders voice replied
that he would see him in the place of punishment
first, :: and then he wouldn't"
Blitz hardly able to conceal his establishment
at this reply, but the audience thought the magician
was outdoing himself and cheered him tremendous
ly.
- Peter, come down, will you -
''See We in my home first Nor my name amt
Peter. neither He keeps the key of tother place.

81 am Old Scratch.'
| Btz scratched his head and the audience thought
he getting rather profane. Blitz knew that he
sold, but could think of nothing better than to
continue the 'trick.n
Are you Old Scratch, the fire king %
"Yesn
~ would be happy to see Old Scratch here"
well, are you ready"
The words had scarcely entered the chimney when
the big tom cat came tumblng and scratching down,
filling the magicians eyes with SCOT and his audi
ence with inextinguishable laughter
The cats eyes gared like flash from two locofo-
co matches, and she disappeared with bound
Btz was utterly discomitted, and was compelled to
close the performance without finishing the last act

A Sharp-set Night Inspector.

Not a very bad Joke is told of one of the New York
Night Inspectors. 1t happened few evenings since,
shortly after the wharf watch was set, that plain
looking countryman seen to leave brig, lying
at Pier No. g. with suspicious looking bundle IN his
hands.
1t was large package, and heavy one-and the
stranger tugged along slowly up the pier with 1t,
and turned the corner, sweating under his load.
'Aha! my fine fellow" calculated the lynx-eyed
Inspector-a sharp-set official. by the way-''aha
I've got you this time !" and approaching the coun-
tryman, he said
GOOD evening. Let relieve you of that load
my friend.'
Eth o. responded the man uneasily.
"Il take this bundle, if you please"
T'hank you"
ats heavy, isn't it - said the officer.
'Yaas which way you goin', nabur 7"
Come along, it's all right; I'll take care of this
come on O.
"Edzactly-much obliged It's tarnal heavy, an
I've got to get up to the Howard house"
"Come along continued the officer knowingly
"we'll see about that :: and in few minutes they
reached the {" Howard:'' when the stranger observ.
ed that the Inspector had no idea of hating!
Halo! which way friend I'm stoppin' here
said the countryman.
It's no matter. I've seized this property, and
YOU can explain matters at the Custom-house to-
morrow" continued the shrewd Inspector.
Luke here, friend not tew fast eff you please
I've paid my dootes on that ere lot O goods jest
you look at this naow !-and he drew forth bit o.
paper from his vest pocket signed by the Collector
"Why, you scamp" said the Inspector, wiping the
perspration from his face, this is permit for YOU
goods Why didn't you show that before"
"W'y-in the first place, you did't ask ME tew
and in the next place. eff I had, you'd a seen M
break my back afore you'd ha' brought that bundl
clear up here for me- know"
The Inspector blowed his nose violently; AM
cursing the countryman for fool, turned down PIN
street, instanter to resume his I" lonely round'
The stranger put his parcel in charge of the ser
want, and grinned CHASTITY grin, as the overzealou
