among groveling worms of the dust; but
you are watched by a man who has dou.
ble-barreled narcotic, and if you stir be-
fore the moon sinks, he will administer a
dose that will quiet your nerves."
Mr.. Pike had beed so terrified that he
had not particularly observed the fea-
lures of the robber; but he recognized
the quotation from his first letter to Miss
Gay, looked at him closely and discover
ed that he was no other than the stalwart
brother he met in Union Square.
Mr. Pike, believing himself watched,
lay on the earth until the moon disap-
peared, rejecting upon the serenity of the
stars, and contrasting it with bis agitated
feelings. When at last only the gas
lamps illuminated the city, he crawled
from his prison and went home as fast as
his legs could carry him. His Aperi-
ence, though brief, cost him over two
hundred dollars, and was SO satisfactory
that he has been content without repeat
ing it.

Paul Pike, harness maker, is a bache-
lor, 32 years Of age, who has made about
as many efforts to get married as he has
made tugs or hold-back straps, but has
never yet succeeded in his laudable de-
sign.
Mr.. Pike is one of the vainest men
that breathes. lie listenes to you with a
look of impatience and pain, as though it
were amere waste of time, and when you
have finished, proceeds, with triumph
ant sneer, to demolsh as he thinks, all
the fallacies to which you have given
utterance
Mr.. Pike, in short, thinks himself mo-
del, morally, physically and intellectual.
ly, and believes that the woman whom he
marries will be the most honored and dis
tinguishcd woman in the city of New
York.
But, unfortunately, Mr.. Pike is the on
ly person who thinks so; and several la
dies to whom he has made advances,
unable to appreciate the royal qualities,
SO great in his own esteem, have treat
ed him with indifference or contempt.
Mr.. Pike, to his intense amazement
and great Indignation, had recently met
with this unaccountable treatment at the
hands of a lady, when his eyes rested up
on a matrimonial advertisement In which
it was represented that young woman
of education and refinement desired to
make the acquaintance of gentleman of
good intellectual abilities, who was man
ly, industrious and economical-quali-
ties which the advertiser esteemed more
highly than wealth or position. Any sin
cere gentleman of this description was In
yited to a free interchange of views
through the post office.
Mr. Pike thought it sensible adver-
tisement, and Immediately conceived that
in him the lady might find full realiza-
ton of her idea. His industry and econ
omy we've proverbial, and the lady was
as penetrating as her advertisement indi-
Gated, she could not fail to discover that
bis intellectual parts were brilliant.
Therefore, Mr.. Pike answered the adj
vertisemeni. He stated his worldly cir
cumstances and prospects with the great
minutes for which he is celebrated, and
then proceeded to bestow upon himself
eulogy, in which he enumerated all his
good qualities, and praised them as they
appeared to deserve. He "spoke with
less hesitation" he wrote !" since Miss
Gay had requested and honest inter-
change of views; and he felt persuaded,
from the high tone Of her advertisement,
that if they should ever become acquain-
ted, she would not fail to properly esti-
mate his qualities Of mind and heart.
!" In Short" Mr.. Pike worte, "It has
been my lot TO live among groveling
worms of the dust, who have not the soul
heart or mind either to aspire to the high
intellectual standard | set up in youth,
and have attained only by the most Sc.
we're and preserving labor or to appre-
ciate the gifts Of genius and the accom-
plishment Of study in those better than
themselves
To this modest cpistle, Mr.. Pike in due
time received a highly flattering answer,
in which he was assured that his letter,
ain every line bore unmistakable evi-
dence of sincerity and superior intellec-
tual brilliancy"

A RICH SCENE.

RICH SCENE.
In the Canadian House of Assembly,
last week, they had quite a spirited de-
bate on the bill to prohibit the use OF
hoops and crinolinc, introduced by Aiken
We publish few of the most brilliant
passages.
Mr. Drummond was an ardent admirer
Of hoops from childhood. He was born
with love of hoops. When he was a
child of tender growth, he used TO trun-
die bis hoop, all unconscious Of. the fate
that was in store for him. Later in life
he had swallowed a ring, which resulted
in hoop-in-cough, and even now the
sight of an empty hOgshcad brought tears
into his eyes.
Mr.. Brown complained that it was i'm
possible now to choose wife, since her
defects were so hid by hoops, and envel-
oped by crinoline, that the naked
Speaker-Order.
Mr.. Brown-Mr. Speaker
Speaker--The honorable gentleman is

Mr.. Brown-But, Mr.. Speaker, the

that hoops and crinoline had reached to

mace. Consider the impropriety of

ing to say.
Mr.. Dunbar Ross understood his hon
orabe friend to say that people cannot
pass along the streets without being as
saulted by highwaymen. Now, surely
the honorable member from Lake Onta-
rio could not but be aware that the char
acter of every member in the House was
affected by such dam,
Mr.. Talbotpbjected to such unparlia-
mentary language.
Mr.. Ross protested against Interrupt
tion. He was going to say, by such
dam
Mr.. j. Cameron-the honorable men,
ber should not swear in that dreadful
manner.
Mr.. Ross-Wasn't doing anything of
the kind but would be tempted to do
so, if not allowed to finish his sentence
but such a dam-(order, order,) dam
-(confusion) he would. repeat it--by
such m-(tremendous uproar.)
Mr.. Wright stood up and moved, amidst
the widest confusion, that Mr.. Ress be
expelled from the House for such awful
language.
Mr.. Ross (black in the face) exclaimed
that damaging statements was all he
meant to say when be was interrupted

Mr.. Ross-Foolish ass.
Mr.. Oameron-Who's an ass

Paying for his Pyouender by Praying.
We have no intention of making fun
of serious matters in telling the follow
ing story we merely relate a fact:
There is rule at Oberin College that
no student shall board at house where
prayers are not regularly made each day.
A certain man fitted up boarding house
and filled itwith boarders, but forgot, un-
I'll the eleventh hour, the praying proyiso.
Not being a praying man himself he
looked around for one who was. At
length he found one--a meek young man
from Trumbull county, who agreed to
pay his board by praying. For while
all went smoothly, but the boarding mas
ter furnished his table so poorly, that the
boarders began to grumble and leave,
and the other morning the praying board
er actually "struck." Something like
the following dialogue occurred at the t.
BILE:
Landlord-Will you pray, Mr.. Midi
Mild-No, sir, will not. .
Landlord-Why not, Mr.. Mild?
Mild-It don't pay, sir! can't pray
or such victuals as these. And unless
you bind yourself in writing to set bet
ter table than you have for the last three
weeks, NARY ANOTHER PRAYER Doe YOU
GET OUT OF ME-!
And that's the way the matter stood
at latest advices.

G Show us man free from care, and
we will show you either fool, a lunatic,
or saint in heaven. Every man in his
right mind, and with even a temperate
ambition, must be man of care. He
must have work to do--a responsibility
to bear-a worthy object to live for; or
he will be an unhappy wretch. This is,
anyhow, the constitution of things in our
present estate, and we accept It as the
one best adapted to imperfect humanity.
Still there is such a thing as an anxious,
carking care, which is not only unneces-
sary, but positively hurtful to soul and
body; and this met the condemnation Of
the One who "spake as never man spake."
We live here but once, and for short
time at longest: why then allow inordi-
nate anxiety to cut our heart strings, and
make that short time shorter2

~ AT dO1K.
Quite number Of fne buildings have been
erected in Iowa City since my last visit. The
most notable of these are the Boarding House
of the University, q building Of ample pro-
portions and fine appearance, and the John.
son County Court House is far away the finest
edifce of the kind in the State. The entire
cost of the building with its complete ap-
pointnents of Office vaults, gas fixtures and
other appliances, amounts to near sixty thou
sand dollars. The tax on the people 10 !
heavy one, but We know OF no tax which :
people ought to pay more cheerfullly than
that for permanentpublic buildings adequate
to the wants and creditable to the people BY
whom and for whose use they are designed.
While the tax payers Of johnson have Sc
cured these ends, they have at the same time
the proud satisfaction Of knowing that they
have the fnost county buildings in the entire
State.
