Where the deuce is my hat?' ''And
mine?" And mine?' they severally exclaim-
ed, as they vainly tried on every one that
had been left by the jocose depredator.-
And then they bethought themselves of cal
ling in an officer to inform him of their
loss, and to invoke his aid in discovering
the author of their calamity.
"Ho, watch! watch say, look here p
they exclaimed, putting their heads forth
into the street.
There they are! they are my friends :
all of EN-" joyously shouted Harrowby, as
he saw them standing in the doorway
ASK them; they know me" and he began
to call some of them by name. But he met
with no assuring response from any of them.
This made him savage. "You - foolS!"
ne trantically exclaimed, 'why don't you
speak You know me we'll enough; it's
only joke, you know. Come here, and
get me out of the hands of these rascally
catch-poles."
BY this time, the parties composing the
main group had shifted their positions on
the sidewalk so as to bring the light of the
street lamp full upon the vexed countenance
of the principal parsonage in the scene
And droll sceneit was. There stood Har-
rowby, his hands full OF other peoples hats,
surrounded by the myrmidons of the police,
determinedly intent to take him to the sta
tion-house. At little distance were the
hatless lookers-On, wondering at the fellows
impudence. Harrowby exposure for some
weeks to the sun and wind had bronzed his
complexion deeply, and he had suffered his
beard and Whiskers to grow at will, so that
it was not easy for his most intimate friends
to recognise him, especially by gas-lght.
But one Of the party at 1rotter's, who
had been taking close look at him, sud-
denly burst out in a roar of laughter, and
exclaimed, "Why, it's Harrowby, declare!
How are you, Harrowby?" added he, seiz-
ing the joker's hand, the hats, meantime,
being seyerally appropriated by their res
pective owners. What are you up to p
One of your jokes, eh?"
The watchmen dropped their hold and
walked away, convinced that it was in very
deed a Jest, one Of them remarking as he
went, oval, thought there was sunthin'
about that chap I'd seen or hearn before
Lord, bless you! In course that's Steve Har-
rowby! I've seen him on top of the stage
many time WAL he is droll crittur,
and no mistake"
Il say" said Harrowby. when released
of his captors, where's Trotter?"
"Trotter. Oh, Trotter don't live here
now. He and his family have been gone
| North these six weeks, and he has let his
house, during his absence, to our friend
here, who, l dare say, will be very happy
to see you here, whenever you will honor
him with q call"

d'clare!" he exclaimed, looking blanker than
the wall, "I've mistaken the ho,ese!"
20 no, my dear sir" said Col. SAWYER,
Immediately rising and going over to him,
you have done no such thing; you know
you haven't! You have only stolen in here
to bring disgrace upon my family I've
been suspecting this for long time And
now, sir, III just walk out myself with you,
and be at the trouble Of finding your own
house for you"
And upon this, the colonel put on his
coat and hat, and insisted on accompanying
the discomfted Mr.. Frosty home. Not a
syllable of explanation would he listen to.
90, no, no" he would say. whenever Frosty
began to apologize, Il understand it all well
enough. | see how it is. It's all very well
to sag you've lost the way into my house;
but should for the future advise you, be-
fore going into other persons houses, to
just look and see if your own number runs
the length of the street,
just the language Frosty had before used
to him. and just what sealed his ips. Eros
ty was hoored completely. But that was
not the best of it. The colonel insisted on
going home with him, and going in; and he
offered his services in such a pleasant yet
persistent way, that Frosty could not have
shaken him off, even if he was not himself
rendered submissive by reason of his own
modification. And the colonel, therefore,
went in and told Mrs Frosty about It;
which so thoroughly pleased that amiable
lady, that, in view of previous circumstan-
ces, she set up a resistless laugh in the face
of her humbled lord, in the midst of which
his very polite escort took occasion to with
draw.
But Frosty was thoroughly cured, by
tie means OF bis jealousy; for which his
gentle spouse did not forget to be duly
thankful. He saw and admitted that it
was quite possible for a respectable man to
mistake even the number of his own door
especially in the existence Of two separate
contingences:-irst, when the houses in
the same row were all as nearly alike to ap-
pearance as a pod full of peas; and second
ly, when a man is on his evening return
from trip "just over the bay"

The Old Church Bell,

Every holy Sabbath morning,
Nnlle the sunbeams are adorning
Sioplng hills and valleys fair,
Or when Wlntry winds are signing,
And the shadows thick are lying
On the uplands, bleak and bare
Still hear that silver ringing, pealing out upon
the air.
From the belfry's lofty station,
With a constant sweet vibration,
Floats the sound from door to door
Calling to the sad and weary
And through by-paths lone and dreary,
To the wretched and the poor;
All earth's toil-worn children hear it, hear and
bless it evermOre.
On some happy, festive morning,
Long before the rosy dawning,
Have | heard that merry sound,
Ringing out across the meadows,
Waking all the sleeping echoes,
Through the misty, quiet town
Starting from their peaceful slumbers all the
dreaming world around.
And when dust to dust is given,
When earth's tenderest ties are riven,
Still is heard that plaintive bell
Tolling mournfully and slowly
While alike the high and lowly
Listen to the passing knell,-
List and learn the solemn meaning Of the deep
toned funeral bell.
Peals OF JOY and tones of sorrow,
Sad to-day and gay tomorrow,
Thus are life's great changes rung;
Strong emotions upward stealing
From the deepest fOunt of feeling
Uttered by that iron tongue,
While the sweet reyerberations dieaway the hills
among.

IMPORTANT PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE
REPRESENTATIVE OF A FOREIGN GOVERN
NENT.-A warrant was issued this morn
ing for the arrest and confinement of Col
j. c. kewen, the Agent or Minister Plen-
ipotentiary Of the Nicaragua Republic for
the city Of San Francisco or the State of
California. 1t is matter of serious doubt
whether the Colonel will submit to an ar
rest, as he unqueStionably can throw him
self back upon his reserved rights, under the
provisions Of the Consulate Convention,
which provides that representatives of for.
eign governments are exempt from the pro-
ceedings had against Col. Kewen.
The cause Of the issue of this warrant is
substantially as follows: A servant attach
ed to the st. Nicholas Hotel, where the
Colonel is stopping, was somewhat inatten-
tive to his duties, and insulting to him, and
he gave him slight chastisement and the
servant swore to an aggravated case of as
sault and battery, but his person showed no
evidences of any abuse. Time will develope
whether the Colonel will permit bis person
to be brought into the Recorders Court
ALta.

UNTUToRED ELoQUENcE.-A Catawba
warrior, in 1912, named Peter Harris, made
known his wants to the Legislature of South
Carolina in the following language:
I am one of the lingering survivors of an
almost extinguished race Our graves will
soon be our only habitation. l am one of
the few stalks that still remain in the field
where the tempest of revolution passed. L
have fought against the British for your
sake. The British have disappeared ana
you are free; yet from me have the Brl!,sn l:na.
taken nothing, nor have l gained anylhltng
by their defeat. l pursued the oeer ioT
subsistence-the deer are disappearing; 1l e. l
must starve. God ordained me for the i3f- Ip
est, and my ambition is the shade. bat ft t;; tns
strength Of my arm decays, and my leeL eh1 ian
me in the chase. The hand which fought
for your liberties is now open Tor your re-
lief In my youth 1 bled in battle that
YOU might have independence-let not my
heart ia my old age bleed for want of your
commiseration.

FROM VANCOUVER IsLAND.-By the ar
rival of the Hudson Bay Companys steam
er Otter, Capt. Mowett, six days from Van
couver, we learn that the Indians are daily
getting more daring in committing their
deeds of murder They are all we'll armed
with guns, rifles and reyolvers, and in open
day when there is chance pick out their
victims. There had been nothing further
