The landlord said it was all right, and
started to prepare dinner. | followed him
and tried again to effect compromise, but
he would hear to nothing of the kind.
A good dinner was on the table BY twelve
O'Clock. We did full justice to it, aud Tur-
aner then ordere the table to be cleared off
and supper brought in at once. 1t was done
punctualy by halfpast twelve, and we all
did our best towards eating it. by one o.
clock we had devoured as much as we possibly
could. "Now show us to bed" said Turner
each man by his demand being provided with
lighted candle. Tho landlord showed us
our rooms, and we all-thirty-six in number
-undressed and tumbled into bed, previous
ly to which, however, Old Turner halloed to
the landlord from the top of the stairs, 'Do
you see, sir, that our breakfast is all ready
aud on the table smoking hot in alf an
hour"
No response was heard to this request -
Turner maintained his gravity aud so did
the landlord. Both were angry, and made
a serious time of it, but for myself, | was
convuised with laughter at the absurdity OF
the whole thing. All the company. indeed
were in great glee; but we felt that the tay
ern-keeper was unreasonable, and therefore
we not only obeyed the orders of Turner,

We were up and dressed in half an hour

AdrOit Thief.

The following singular circumstance hap
pened twelve years ago at the Astor House,
in New York. 1t was published at the time
it transpired, but it seems to us well worthy
of preservation among the annals of adrot
crime:
A gentleman suddenly missed his gold
watch, which was worth mnre to him than it
could be to any body else, from association.
it having been family relic. He marveled
much at its absence, for he knew he had only
been in and out of the office and reading
room Of the hotel since noting the hour by it.
In the hope of recovering it. he offered a
reward of fifty dollars for it in the daily news
papers Of the city. The same day he received
a note saying that he could have his watch by
calling ut a certain obscure house in the city.
A itcr some little hesitation, he resolved to GO.
The watch was too valuable to him to be given
up without at least this attempt TO recover it.
so he went.
His call at the door was promptly answered
by gentlemanly looking person, who, in re-
ply to his inquiries, said that he had in his
possession the advertised watch, and that on
payment of the offered reward he would de-
liver it up The loser promised to pay the
fifty dollars provided he waB convinced the

gentleman recognized it at once, paid the re-
ward, and gladly placed the recovered treas
ure in its place in his vest pocket. AS he
was turning to 90 away he remarked,
81 am glad, as you suppose, to get my watch
back again, but should really be pleased to
know how you took it from me.'
"That will inform YOU" readily replied
the pick pocket. "Do you reT ember hold
ing an animated conversation with two gen.
temen in the reading room of the Astor
House on the morning you lost your watch?'

"Wel, do you sdremember that gen

and drew near, and finally engaged in the
dlscussionl'

also that he engaged in it with much warmth"
"Precisely," he continued "and do you
not remember that at one time in his earnest
ness, he tapped you on the left breast, thuS!"
(suiing the action to the word.)
yes" replied the gentleman.
"Ihea to9k your watch" said he, and
turning shpt the door and disappeared
The gentleman returned to the Astor musine
on this strange occurre!ee; and while relat-
ing it to his wondering friends, was as onished
TO find that his watch was again missing!
While the adroit knight Of the nimble
fingers described how he had once filched
from him his watch he took it again! So the
gentleman finally lost his watch after having
paid the thief the reward for its recovery.

How 10 win Fame.

Nothing is impossible Strike out a new
path-court honor, fame, glory, wealth. All
shall be yours if you will. But with the will
there must be energy, courage, foresight, pru-
dence. The heart must be steeled either to
bear the shafts of envy, or to hear unmoved
the sigh of the widow and iatherless. In
many cases the sweet joys of home must be
foregone, and the wife considered an append
age worth the money she saves; the children
as only so many incentives to lay up the gold
that perishes in the using.
Ask YOU for fame2 Nothing is easier OBJ
tanned. Turn your hat inside out, wear a
shoe on one foot and boot on the other;
make yourself known by your Oddities; get
posted up about town; you are marked
man-the property of the public; you are ia
nous, do what you will.
Ask you for wealth. Begin your search
early. Sleep on your pallet Of straw--tol
till after the midnight hour--breakfast on a
crust-eat no dinner, and never allow your
self the luxury of warm supper. Tie your
self to 8 penny and be the bond slave OF n
dollar.
Deny yourself the pleasure of a book
consider newspaper q nusance-forget that
you have n soul; turn deaf ear to distress,
then you may sit down with the pious re-
Election that your deeds are honest-ior, good
man, have YOU ever demanded more than
your duel
" hat if your brother perishes in desttu-
ton sud misery-art thou thy brothers keep
er? what if that poor debtor died in prison.
house? was not his debt lswfal onel was
your demand more than the strctest justice
might warrant
Then YOU can take your gilded Bible, turn
over its embellished pages, and let its clear,
beautiful print rejoice the sight of thine eyes
But, what if unthinkingly, they should rest
upon the following passage:
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and
the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
Therefore, snares are round about thee, and
sudden fear troubleth thee"
Never think to get away from the justice
of that sentence. Hedge thyself in with
golden thorns as ttou wilt, snares are round
about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee.-
