A BRAVE BOY.
HOW JIMMY MANAGED A RoBBER.


A month or two since the Office of DR..
Dostee, dentist, on Baronne street near
Canal, was visited and unavaiingly tried
by burglars. The doctor had youthful
assistant, an Irish boy named James,
about fifteen years old, who does all that
a boy can do for a dentist, and who
sleeps in the back room of the office,
which consists of three rooms on the
ground floor, with a small but highly
fenced in back yard. the gate of which
opens on a side alley opening from Bar.
onne street.
After the above, burglarious attempt
the Doctor finding that Jimmy was will
ling to sleep as usual in his usual bed
and willing to shoot at any one who
might disturb his sumber, presented him
with pair of Derringer pistols. Jimmy
not apprehending visit from the rear
of the Office, put the pistols in the drawer
of a washstand in the middle room, where
he kept them until about 4 o'clock on
Thursday morning. What took place at
that hour we will give in Jimmy's own
language, as he modestly related it to US

back yard. There was aladder stand
ing in the corner | heard noise like
some one coming down it and | held my
breath. | could hear man step softly
like he had slippers on (; he stopped at
every step to listen. The door was IN
fastened, and wasn't shut close. He
come in the room softly, and come to my
bed and raised The bar and took look
at me. | could just see it was man
and he had big knife in his hand l
could see it by the light coming in at the
door. | pretended to be asleep; but /
was wide awake, and waiting patiently
to see what he would do. He struck a
light with piece of candle and match
he took from his pocket. When he got
the candle lit he come to the bed and
raised the bar and took another look at
me; this fine | shut my eyes and
breathed like | was asleep. He had his
knife in his hand all the time it was a
great big knife, half as long as my
arm.
After he looked at me little while
be started for the front room, stopping
every step to listen. l raised up softly,
and when l saw he was in the front
room l got out Of bed and walked on
my tiptoes after him, to get the pistols
in the washstand. (The washstand is in
a corner, behind the door opening from
the middle to the front room.( Igot the
pistols out but made little noise, and
the man ran back into the room. He
had his candle in one hand. and his knife
raised in the other but before he saw
me behind the door | had both the pts
tolls raised and pointed at him and /
told him il he came three steps nearer
me | would kill him.
He looked at me little bit, and /
kept the pistols raised. He then backed
out. going sideways, and looking at me
all the time. Whenever started to fol
low, him he would stop. When he got
to the door of my room, he dropped his
candle and made rush for the back
yard he upset the chairs and made a
great racket. / then chased him and
as he was getting up the ladder banged
away at him, and he fell down. ]
thought I'd shot him but he jumped up
again before | could get the other pistol
cooked, he ran up the ladder and got
over the fence.-N, 0 Crescent.

BeAAn editor of a paper lately inform.
ed his readers that the ladies always pull
off the left stocking last. This. as may
be supposed, created some stir among the
fair readers, and while in positive terms
they denied the statement, and Insisted
that he had no business to know it, even
if such were the fact. He proves it,
however, by short argument: When
one stocking is pulled off, there is still
another left oni pulling off this, is taking
the left stocking of last"
