"A gentleman, with naturally nervous tenn
peraMent, and dread of thieves and pick
pockets particularly, of an Illinois Bottom ed
ucaiiOn, arrived IN this CITY few days since,
and took lodgings al one of eur most popular
hotels. Our hero was on his guard from the
outstaTt, and cultivated no acquainIanceB,
nor stayed out after BighuaIl; but with bis
hand on the breeches pocket containing his
wallet he kept his own counsel nnd did de-
hance 70 the knight-erranis or the JlmmeV
and outsider with whom he supposed the
town TO team. He retired at reasonable
carry hour, but got up the next morning with
'ne hrSt crow OF the cock. The clerk stood
guietly yawnlng himself awake behind the Of
uce counter, when our friend, hatless ar
riseu IN the highest possible Stale OF excite
nent 70 announce that be had been robbed.
'Oh no, reckon not said the clerk. in a tone
OF uncomfortable cooness. Yes. sir. hmve.'
said the other, pale and trembling. Il have
been robbed OF thousand dollars. r placed
il under my pillow as went to bed. aud
now its gone shall hold you responsible
for il, sir--l look to you.' That YOU cant
do replied The clerk, this time actually smil-
ing with the most provoking blandness
that you can'l do; you did not deposit your
money with me; ia fact you said nothing
about having nloney--how could 4, Ihen, Sc
cure you against its loss? Come, stranger,
amt youplayiDg some sly prairie game p
Come, now, it wont do aud SO the clerk
smiled and jested, and pleasantly denied all
responsibility, and laughiDgly hoped that the
prodiga would return, and the bread cast up
on the waters would be fosnd again, until
the excited stranger became still more excited,
and canvassed in his mind the horns Of the
IA annif. nd hmt
the clerk, or the arrest Of the whole house,
hold by the police.
After the interview had progressed for
some time, tie office became filled with
boarGers, many of whom, taking part in The
discussion, sided invariably with The clerk,
who, having created enough suspense in tie
strangers mind, produced wallet from his
desk, and counted out TO him 81 600 in bank
bills. As the other stared silently al him iB
stupid astonishment and qualification, the
clerk remarked: stranger, lei me give you
piece Of advice. The next time you stop al a
hotel, don't hide your money in your boots
for security, and then, in moment OF abb
strac;ion, set them out in the hall 10 be black
ed The thing had really occurred as thus
| explained. The stranger, fearing always 10
be robbed beIhought himself OF his boots, as
| the place, of all the world, the safest TO cOn-
ceal his money. After dismissing this great
care entirely from his mind, i occurred 70
him that he ought TO have lis boots BACKED,
and accordingly, laking the seIt-same pair,
placed them, money aud all, in the hall, and
licking the door, retired without another
thought TO disturb his sumbers. The next
morning, forgetting himself, he felt persuaded
that he had placed his wallet under his pill
low, but honest boots had apprised the clerk
of his discovery, and deposited with him hfa
findngs.-N. Louis Republican, 25th uh.

What is the Bourse?

Every time we hear from Paris, about the
first item (after the usual announcement of a
revolution or mob) is. 'how the funds are in
the Bourse.' If Louis Napoleon makes coup
d'etdt, or falls into the chops Of matrimonv, the
llrot question is, what is the effect on the
Bourse!" If the Bourse is all right, the coun-
try is considered (Iike our own beloved land J
safe. But if there Isl decline on the Bourse,
1t IS considered sure sign of consumption
OF powder and lead) generally. And yet few
people know what the Bourse' IS so we take
from our sprightly friend, the Boston Bee, the
following description:
1t is plainly what corresponds to our Ex-
change-the gathering point of money men Of
the clty-and the street (rue) on which it is
situated, is something like State street.
The Bourse is one Of the beautiful structures
in the great metropolis. 1t is 2l2 by l26 feet,
and is surrounded by range of &C Corinthian
columns. Although commenced in March,
1908, it was not completed until 1926, on ac-
count of the Vicissitudes of intervening time
Over the entrance is inscribed
BOURSE Ell TRIBUNAL DE COMMERCE.
The roof is composed entirely of iron and
copper, and during business hours at this seat
of Mammon for the French Empire, the ma
tional flag floats over the edifce. Portions of
the interior are beautifully decorated BY figures
emblematic Of Commerce, Abundance, etc.,
with paintings of several of the cities of
France. Ladies were formerly admitted to
the Bourse, but as it was found to encourage a
passion in the genller sex for gambling in
stocks, they are not allowed to enter during
hours of business. Total cost of The Bourse,
8,l49,0O0 francs. There are stirring times
within its walls and upon its pavements during
the hours allotted for public operations.

Saleratus is said to be injurious to The hui
man system, and that it destroys thousands
Of children and some adults every year. ln
New Brunswick, contiguous TO Maine, the
physicians are wont 10 say that half the chill
dren are killed by the use Of sal@ratus. The
evil is fast spreading throughout the Union.
Families Of moderate size already use from
ten to twenty-five pounds Of salaBratus year.

Have you noticed the Wing Coalition ticket,
adopted by those who style themselves par en-
esllence Temperance Men DO you remember
the noisy midnight revels of the Winthrop Club
Have you forgotten their excursions to Boston
and surrounding towns ? That Club, more than
anything else, has degraded and debased the
morals of the young men Of Worcester. Many
there first learned to love the taste of winc-there
first learned to sneer those truths, which honest,
free hearted men hold dearest. Will you de-
sert your own nomination, and abandon your own
organization to vote for him, who presided at
these revels, and led on these Excursions!

Citizens, Ticket.

The so called Citizens meeting at Brinley Hall
on Saturday evening, was presided over by Mr..
I. K Earle, and the only person who spoke upon
the business of the meeting was Rev. T. w.
Hggnson, who, although he voted the entire
Union Ticket for Aldermen at the last election,
denounced the unelected members in the most
vehement terms. His speech, from the account
we have heard was general TRADE of abuse a.
gaiilst the City Government the city press, the
city police, and things in general. The Reverend
gentleman's onslaught was SO tremendous that
there seemed to be nothing for any one else to
say, and the meeting adjourned after having
nominated the following ticket for Aldermen,
two of whom are Wings, and one of whom is on
the regular Wing ticket

% The Worcester Transcript, of Friday
2sd inst, copies approvingly from the New Bed
ford Mercury, an article charging Col Dewitt
with being an ''eminently aristocratic Free Dem
ocratic Member of Congress- because The en-
Poyees of the Worcester g. Nashua Railroad are
about to present him with Cane, which, the
Mercury says, has ga coat of arms on it, and
ga view of the Colonel's baronial mansion. -
The Transcript gave what the Mercu, call an
"extalic description of the cane; yet the dirty
sheet, with characteristic mendaciy, tulns round
and reiails the Mercury's ridiculous falsehoods,
with view TO crawl out Of the dilemma, into
which its native taste for lying led il. in lis
attempt to whiewssh 'Ambssador Lawrence.

power who have ever opposed your interests
Remember it was the Wings who last year de-
feated the Ten Hour Law and who would sneer
at the "Groton shop keeper" and "thesNatiek

strike your death-blow to day, in your strong

To the motion Of some old soagi
For the fancy OF MORALS teens,
Whether they wake or sleep
With figures, that shine like dreams,
Then-dle IN the darkest deep.
U! merry are Christmas times,
And merry the befry chimes;
But the msrriest things
That man e'er sings
Ale his Midnight Rhymes.
'Tis night when thesusurers feel
That their money is thrice repaid;
'Tisnight Nhen adurers kneel,
BY scores, TO the sleeping maid;
'Tis nightwhen the arthur deems
That his critics are all At haS,
And the gaIuesrer reg,ins in dleams
The gold that he lost by day.
o! merry are Christmas times.
At night, both the sick and the lame,
Abandon heir world of care;
And the creatoI eaihat droops with shame
Forgotten her old despair!
The boy on the raging deep
Laughs aloud thai the skies are clear;
Aud The murdererdorns, 10 sleep,
Aud dreams that pardon's near!
OF merry are Christmas times.
Alright, all wrongs are right,
And all periis Of life grow smooth;
Then Why cometh The fierce da,ight,
When lancy is bright as trulhl
All hearts, tween The earth and moon,
Recover their hopes again;
All lis pity so sweet tune
Should ever be Jared by pain!
