"Look on this Picture, and then on that"
Father is coming !" and little round faces

are hustled into the closet, and mamma Chances

lump sugar to keep the peace, and fathers bust
ness face relaxes not MUSCLE aud the little group
huddle like timid sheep In the corner and tea is
despatched as silently as though speaking were
prohibited by the statute book, and the children
creep like culprits to bed, marvelling that the
baby dares to crow so loud, now that "Father has
come I"
Father is coming!" and bright eyes sparkle
for Joy, and tiny feet dance with glee, and eager
faces press against the window pane, and bevy
of rosy lips claim kisses at the door, and picture
books lie unrebuked on the table, and tops and
balls, and dolls. are discussed, and little Susy lays
her soft cheek against the paternal whkkers
with the most fearless .sabaDdon,' and Charley
gets love pat for his ssmeda'' and mammals
face grows radiant, and the evening paper is
read, mot silently but aloud, and tea, and toast,
and time vanish with equal celebrity, for jubilee
has arrived and "Father has come"
A gentleman at St. Louis Hotel, peculiarly
nervous about robbers, on getting up discovered
| that he had been robbed of thousand dollars
He insisted that he had placed the money under
his pillow, and "swore to it." After saying all
manner OF bad things about the house and its in
mates, the clerk pulled the strangers vale. out
OF the office drawer with his money all safe.-
"Boots'' stood at distance showing his ivory,
| aud holding out his hand for the reward which
had been offered for the recovery of the money.
| The truth flashed across the nervous gentleman g
mind. that on undressing he, for perfect safety
of his treasure, had put his money in his boots,
but just as he was jumping into bed forgetting
the contents, very naturally set his boots outside
his door to be BACKED. We hope he paid .Boots"
for his honesty in delivering the Wallet to the
clerk of the hotel.
