HooPs.-A joke was practised at re-

much CONSERVATION for the future of cri-
Moline; Partisan Journal says:
The eyes Of all were attracted by the
appearance of a young gentleman aoout
twenty years of age, slender, fair and
guiltless of beard, who had attired him
self in the prevailing feminine fashion
On his head, or rather at a considerable
distance behind it, he wore a tiny pink
bonnet, stuck on the ends of immense
steel pins, about half yard long, fasten-
ed firmly into the back hair, put on for
the occasion: his dress was of course enor-
mously wide when he entered the ball
room. Making his way to the centre OF
the saloon he proceeded by means OF some
ingenious hidden mechanism, to deyeIope
the ample fold of his skirts. until his
gown literally assumed the dimensions OF
a ball Jon, filing the ball room entirely,
from wall 10 wall, and driving all the
company into the corners and forcing
them into the adjoining rooms.

A RObber Befriended.

A young man was stopped in litte
street in one Of the cities of Frauce--his
purse or his life was demanded. A cour
ageous and sensible heart soon distn-
guishes between the voice of the unfor-
tunate wretch when misery drags t.
crime, and that of the villain whose
wickedness prompts him to it. The young
man felt that he was an unfortunate per-
son, whom he ought to save" bar do
you ask, miserable creature, what do ask
your" said he in an imposing tone to his
aggressor.
"Nothing, sir" answered a sobbing
voice; II ask nothing of YOU
"Who are you? what do you do?"
Il ain poor man, Il journeyman Shoe
man. without means Of supporting any
wife and four children"
II do not know whether you speak the
truth Where do you live?"
,.ln sach street, at bakers house"
I'VE shall see-lead the way"
The shoemaker awed by his tinnness,
led him to his abode as he would have
led him to the bottom of a dungeon They
arrived at the bakers. There Was none
but woman in the shop.
Madam, do you know this man p
eyes, sir; he is a poor journeyman shoe
maker who lives in the fifth story, and
who has much difficulty in sustaining
his numerous family
GLOW can you let him want bread?
''Sir, we are young people, newly
established: we cannot give much; my
husband does not wish me to give more
that twenty-five cents credit to this man. "
''Give him two loaves of bread. Take
these two loaves and mount to your
room
The shoemaker obeys, as much agita-
ted as if he We're about to commit some
crime, but very different kind of trouble.
They enter. The wife and children
eagerly take the food which is offered
them. The young man has seen too much.
He goes out, after giving two louis to the
bakers wife, with orders to supply the
family with bread according to then
wants. Some days after he returns to see
the children, to whom he has given a
second life, and tells their father to follow
him. He conducts his poor protege into
shop, well furnished with tools, and ill
the necessary materials for working at his
trade. "Would you be contented and
happy if this shop We're yours?"
''Ah, sir, but alas!''
What ?"
II have not the freemans rights, and
its costs
Take me to the syndic jury"
The license was bought, and the shoe.
maker placed in his shop.
The author of so fine an act Of humani.
ty was Il young man about twenty-seven
years old. 1t is calculated that the estab-
lishment OF this workman cost him from
three to four thousand liyegs. His namt
il not known, and useless researches have
been made tu.discuVer him.
