A CAPITAL SToRy.-The Cleveland Herald tells
the following incident:
In the depths of hard winters night in Nor
thern New York, gentleman heard noise at
big wood pile, and sallying forth found man
just leaving, dragging sled, on which were a
few sticks purloined from the pile The thief
was overtaken and begged for mercy, averring
that his family were freezing. % Come back, you
rascal with that sed," said the owner of the
wood; and the culprit dragged it back to the
pile, and began to unload. g Stop that, you
rascal, and put on sled full y said the owner
and after piing the wood on the sled to its full
capacity, added: Now pull, pull, you scamp p
The culprit could barely start the load, but by
the application of a switch and an oath or two
from the rough bnt good hearted owner of the
pile, the load was got under way, and for half a
mile, with snow knee deep, was the culprit
forced to dog trot until he reached the door of
his fireless cabin, ready to drop down from the
labor of hauling the load. "There" said the
owner, " scoundrel, I'll teach you to steal nv
wood; next time, ask me for wood" That was
justice tempered with mercy.

How one Feels after Taking DIR. Web
ber's Invigorating Cordial.

A FTER taking it a general glow of warmth is
n felt through the chest and body, strength
in the limbs a mental clearness of IDEAS men,
ory, and exhiliration of spirits; in few days
the patient feels that universal strength men
tally and bodily, has gradually assumed part
of him; and disease of every Kind has left him;
that his blood courses through his veins thin,
rich, and pure; his liver, before torpid, is now
active his ideas clear and lncid his hand and
nerves firm; he feels capable of any exercise
Thus have seen many very low from exposure,
from disease, debauchery, excess, &c, renewed
wonderfully by it.

The following is from the S. F. Spirit Of the

The following is from the S. F. Spirit Of the
Times:
During the week the lovers of scandal have
had sweet morsel to chew, inasmuch as
famed lady closed her establishment and de-
parted on the steamer. We say famed lady for
the simple reason that she was, as a professor Of
accomplishments, well known. 1t seems that
she connected another, and not SO honorable,
avocation with her avowed profession, and pub
lie knowledge of which would have been avoid
ed, but for the following circumstances; A GER
tain married lady, who used her house as con-
venient trysting place, few weeks since re-
ceired her daughter from the academy at San
Jose, and allowed her TO be her companion in
her unlawful visits. A day or two since, the
daughter, who is budding sixteen, did not ap-
pear at the family dinner table, and the guilty
conscience of the mother suggested that per-
chance the friend she had confded in had be-
trayed her and her offspring. Incensed at the
thought, she sought the aid of the police, and
insisted on having a certain domicil she named
searchel alleging that she suspected the pro-
prietress thereof of abducting her child. The
spot designated was new to the police, but the
work was duly performed, TO the great disgust
of a number of parties then inmates of the DOM
icil. The search, however, although it shed
light on many strange affairs, did not elucidate
the reason of the absence thereof The police
returned to the mothers house with the result
of their investigation, when they learned that
the truant had returned safe and sound, after
passing the afternoon with a fellow student
The feelings of the mother can be better i'm
agined than described, when she ascertained
that in her anxiety she had published her own
shame. The facile proprietress of the house in
question succeeded in closing the same out and
its like for peculiarly of arrangement will per-
chance never again live in San Francisco
