Love for Fair PLAY.

Strolling leisurely about Uncle Sans
big ship yard, at Washington, the other
day, we observed a regular hard-weather,
sailor-looking chap from a man-o,war,
who, in turn, was watching two men drag
ging a seven-foot cross-cut saw through
huge live-Oak log. The saw was dull,
the log terrible hard, and there they went
-see-saw, see-saw-pull, push, push,
pull. Jack studied the matter over awhile,
until he came to the conclusion that they
were pulling TO see who would get the
saw, and, as one was a monstrOus big
chap, while the other was little fellow,
Jack decided to see fair play; so giving
the big one a clip under the ear that cap
sized him end over end, he jerked the
saw out of the log, and giving it to the
small one, sung out: ~Now run, you
beggar!'

no explanation or entreaty could convince
him to the contrary. So from that time
forth, there was no more peace for that
house. 1t was jaw, jaw, quarreling and
wrangling all the time.
With delight the devil heard of the
success of the faithful emisary, and sent
her word that if she would meet him at
the end of the lawn, at a certain time, he
would pay her the. shoes.
At the appointed time she repaired to
the spot, and found the devil at the place.
He put. the shoes en- the end of a long
pole, and, standing on the opposite sideDf
the fence, handed them over to her. She
was very much pleased with them; they
were exactly the article.
"But there is one thing Mr.. Devil, that
i would like to have explained that is,
why you hand them tome on that stick?"
Every easy TO explain" replied he,
"any one who has the cunning and mean
ness to do as you have done don't get
nearer than twenty feet Of me-" So say
ing, he fed in terror.
After while the old woman died. and
when she applied for admittance To- the
lower regions the devil would not let her
in, for. fear she might dethrone him, as
she was so much his superior. So the old
woman. is yet compelled to wander over
the world. creating quarrels and strife in
peaceful families and neighborhoods.
Would you know her name
1t is Madame Scandal. When she died
her. children, the young Scandalizers, were
left orphans; but the devil, in consideration
of past service done by the mother
adopted them; and SO, you see, he is the
father of that respectable class called
scandal mongers.-C Chickasaw and Choc.

A Singular Case.

Jane Wade, a girl about % years Of
age, was sentenced to four years i'm
prisonment in the Connecticut State
Prison, by the Court IN New London
county, for stealing a horse. Her time
of imprisonment expired last October,
when she was employed bya family in
Weathersfeld to do housework. In March
last, the family finding she was accustomed
to stealing, turned her away. Frequent
ly, since then, they have missed articles
about the house, and found evidences that
some persons had been about the premises.
They finally discovered Miss Wade in the
house, and she acknowledged that she had
been there frequently and slept in the ash
hole at night. But her strangest adven-
ture was in breaking into State Prison =:
One night last week, she scaled the stone
wall that incloses the prison, by climbing
a tree. The wall is about 90 feet high.
From the yard, she crawled into the
kitchen, which is separated from the male
prisoners, and is not guarded at night,
through an outlet for the ashes, which
connects with the yard. She slept in this
ash hole for six nights, and, when found,
had six empty mush or pudding pans by
her side, which she had taken from the
kitchen when full. On Sunday night
/ last, she snored so loud in her ash bed as
to attract the attention of the matron, and
after a search was found and dragged out.
The. opinion Of an eminent lawyer has
been given that Miss Wade may be in
dicted and convicted Of burglary, she
having broken into the State Prison, in
the night season, and stolen six pans Of
meal pudding! There is not parallel
case on record.

The Other Side Of the Story.

A youth in love with a maid,
Each night meath the window he stood,
And there with his soft serenade,
He awakened the whole neighborhood.
But vainly he tried to arouse
Her sleep with his strains so bewitching;
While he played in front of the house,
She slept in the little back kitchen.

Miscellaneous.
An Old Story in a New Dress.
81 tell it as twas told me- .
BY. F. E. PINER.

II tell II as twas tolQ me.
A very long time ago, in the western
part of England, there lived an aged
couple, whose time had passed away since
early youth, in the every round of farm
life, and who had never been known to
have the least ill-fee1ing towards each
other since the time when good old parson
Heriot had united them In the holy bonds
of 'wedlock, twenty-five years before
So we'll was the fact of their coniugal
happiness known,. that they were spoken
of, far and near, as the happiest pair
known. Now, the Devil >(excuse the
abrupt mention Of his nancy had been
trying for twenty years to create what is
commonly called "a fuss in the farnily,''
between those old: companions. But much
to his modification, he hid not been able
to induce the old gentleman to grumble
about breakfast being late once, or the old
lady to give a single curtain lecture:-
After repeated efforts the devil became
discouraged, and had he not been person
of great determination he would doubtless
have given up the work in despair. One
day as he walked along, in a very surly
mood, after another attempt to get the old
lady to quarrel about the pigs getting into
the yard, he met an old woman, near
neighbor of the aged couple. As Mr..
Devil and the neighbor were very par
ticular friends, they must needs stop on
