The ALPINE HoRN-All the way down
toward Grindelwald, on the left, apparently
close by, there is that awful wall of the
Wetterhorn, and you may see other peaks,
of which the most noticeable, or ut least
the most memorable, is the Schreckhorn.-
By and by, by the path, you may discern a
man standing beside great square wooden
box like small tub, fixed on a stake OF
wood four OF five feet high. And when the
travellers approach, the man will fit to that
box wooden pipe, eight feet long, and,
sticking his tongue into the lesser end OF
the pipe, will vehemently blow into it.
That rude apparatus is the Alpine Horn, Of
which you have heard folks talk and sing
There is nothing specially attractive to the
ear in the few notes prayed forth, but what
gram echoes, doubled and redoubled, are
awakened up in the breast of that huge
wall, and die away in the upper air and
mountain! Produce from your purse lib
eral tip, and ask the ms untaineer to let you
try his horn. You blow with all your
might, like my friend Mac Puff, sounding
his own trumpet. But there is dead 81
lence, as when to such as know him wei
Mac Puff does so sourd. A feeble kissing
of air from the great tub is all that reward:
your labor. And one always respects
person that can do what one cannot do.

A Tale of the Great Saratoga
Trunk.

Old Anthracite has very dear wife--so
dear that she costs him on her own private
account about fifteen thousand dollars a
year. Mrs. Anthracite always has the lat
est fashions, so when the great Saratoga
trunk was exhibited in Broadway, Mrs. A
instantly purchased one for her summer
trip.
Every one knows that the great Saratoga
trunk is an unexceptionable trunk. 1t is
colossal-of Titanic proportions. Cbeops,
the builder of the great pyramid, might
have found ample accommodation for his en-
tire household in the great Saratoga trunk.
Accordingly down went Mrs. A. to the
great wateriug-place, with her great trunk.
She had not been long there, however,
when old Anthracite received private tel
egraph from friend to inform him that
Mrs. A. was flirting desperately with young
Belzebub, the son and heir of old Belzebub
the great soap boiler. Anthracite instantly
takes the train, arrives at the hotel, and
inquiring the number of his wifes room
quietly walks up stairs. His wife's door
is shut. Anthracite knocks. Door opens
after some delay. Mrs. A. futtered, which
futter increases 10 dismay when she sees
her husband. Husband enters coolly; ex,
Plains that he just came to see how she
was getting on, and seats himself on the
Saratoga trunk. Drops glove, the pick
| ing up enables him TO look under the bed
No one there. Mrs. A. looked as if some
one ought to DO there. Husband talk.
of the weather, and the pair are SITTING
down to little light conversation, when
old Anthracite remarks quietly:
"Mrs. A. There's rat in your trunk"
Mrs. A. turns pale through her paint. No
Husband is mistaken. The rat is in the
wainscot. They are always there, those
rats. Husband is sure it is in the trunk.
He smells him; he will examine. Mrs. A
very anxious be should not he can't The
trunk is shut and she has lost the key
Husband begs to contradict. The key was
in the lock-the I'D is open.
Husband, amid the protestations Of Mrs.
A., half raised the lid. No crinoline, no
shawls, no lace, no furbelows in tho great
Saratoga trunk; only young Belzebub's
glossy curls and killing moustache are Wis
IDLE: Mrs. A. instantly faints. 1t is the
privilege Of Der sex on such occasions
What does husband do? Shoot young Bel
zebub? Not bit Of it. He smiles grimIy
and shuts the lid down again, locking the
great Saratoga trunk He rings the bell;
tells the waiter to bring gimblet. Bores q
few holes in the great trunk. Orders UP
the porter, and goes of to New York accom-
panied by tie Preat Saratoga trunk What
would the trunk Grt have given ior a cigar
in the baggage wagon'wben it smeled the to-
bacco suoke that was 50 literally pulled
abou'! The trunk, although nearly sui
fpcatrd, thought il best to keep quit. Ar
rivsd at NV York, old Anthracite told the
