A '.Hoss CAR" ADvENTURE.-Arte.
mus Ward is looking at things in Bos-
ton. He had an adventure one day which
resulted as follows:
l returned in the Hoss Cars, part way.
A pooty girl in spectacles sat near us, and
was tellin' young man how much he re.
minded her Of man she used to know in
Waltham. Poorly soon the young man
got out, and smilin' in seductive man
ner, I said to the girl in spectacles,-
"Don't I remind you Of somebody you
used to know ?"
"Yes,' she said, "you do remind mo Of
one man, but he was sent to the peniten-
tiary for stealin' bar'l Of mackerel -
he died there, SO 1 conclude you amt
him."
I didn't pursoo the conversation.

Keeping ENGAGEMENTS,

Sir William Napier was one day taking
long country walk near Freshford, when
he met little girl about FIVE years old,
sobbing over broken bowl. She had
dropped and broken it in bringing it back
from the field, to which she had taken her
fathers dinner in it, and she said she
would be beaten on her return for having
broken it; then, with sudden CLEAN OF
hope, she innocently looked up into his
face and said
"But ye can mend it, can't We p
Sir William explained that he could
not mend the bowl, but the trouble he
could, by the gift of sixpence to buy an.
other. However, on opening his purse
it was empty Of silver, and he had tc
make amends by promising to meet his
little friend in the same spot ct the same
hour next day, and to bring the sixpence
with him, bidding her, meanwhile, tell
her mother she had seen gentleman who
would bring her the money for the bowl
next day. The child, entirely trusting
him, went on her way comforted. On bis
return home he found an invitation await
ing him to dine in Bath the following eve.
ming, to meet some one whom he special
ly wished to see. He hesitated for some
little time, trying to calculate the posi-
bility of giving the meeting to his little
friend of the broken bowl, and of still be-
ingsin time for the dinner-party in Bath
but finding this could not be, he wrote to
decline accepting the invitation, on the
plea of Encouragement" saying to one
Of his family, as he did SO, IL cannot dis
appoint her-sho trusted me SO implicit
ly."

Ssg'" There is young man in New.
buryport named Crockett, who lost a LEG
above the knee, on the Boston and Maine
Railroad, when child, who can perform
teats with one foot that few if any lads Of
bis age in the neighborhood can perform
with two feet. He will swim like duck;
he can run as fast as the fastest, bounding
on like deer; and his skating is marvel.
lous. a dozen lads may start with him on
the ice, but he is sure to come out ahead
Nor is it in straight course alone he
shows his speed with a crutch in one
hand and skate upon the foot, he will
defy them to catch him, and dodge as
nimble as q cat. We doubt if there is
a boy that can jump higher. He will
leap fence as high as his head, and
surprises his associates by standing back
to fence that will come to his shoulders,
turning a somerset and coming down right
end up upon the other side. 1t is very
doubtful had the two legs remained to
him, if he would ever have developed
SO much spring and activity. He has
made up in training what he lost by &C.
cident.

INTERESTING SURGICAL OPERATION.
The Honolulu (Sandwich Islands) Aa-
vertiser thus relates how Chinaman got
new nose:
"a Chinaman went to the hospital, who
had lost his nose, and wished new one
put on, if possible. DR.. H. cut from the
mans forehead piece of skin of the re-
quisite size and shape for nose, then
turning it down formed a new nose with
it. The piece was cut in such shape
so that it would leave open nostrils, and
was then sewed to the face, in its proper
position and shape. The result is that
the man has an artificial nose, which
could hardly be detected as such, except
on close inspection. The skin of the FORE
head was stretched and sewed together,
so that what was taken off is now hardly
noticeable. This is one of the most re-
markable surgical operations we have ever
noticed, remarkable mainly for ingenuity
and successful result"

WHO'LL HAVE THE MONEY 2-The

witnessed on Mississippi river steamer

was very violent, and the language used
of the strongest, and intimations were ex.
changed that when once on shore the mat

something besides words-when suddenly
an immensely large man-so tall chat he
lowered by head above his fellows
arose, and drawing himself up to his full
height, cried out-"I'll have none of this!
Here's how it's to be"-and he struck the
table with his fist blow that made it re.
sound. "Every gentleman in this cabin
has his revolver and his bowle-knife let
us put out the lights and see who'll have
the money 1t is needless to say how
quick the proposal scattered the compa.

A country lad was hanged at Omagh

no outward marks Of what had happened,
beyond slight distortion of the neck
1t was thought by many he had no right
to be among the living, and that unholy
agencies had helped him. He was shun-

tain no work, and wandered about an
aims beggar. Necessity drove him to the
house Of the gentleman who, in his off,
cial duty, had superintended the execu-
ton. He recognized, relieved and dis

the matter further. But, first, as a ply.

sensations on being turned off. He re-
piled that he felt the jerk, but not so
acutely as to produce insensibility or even
confusion. He appeared to have the pow

agreeable sensation then crept through
his frame until he became insensible.-
"But," he added, ri can find no words

GLORIOUS FIRST IMPRESsIoNs-oRI
OF THE CITY-CANALs AND BRIDGES.
'There is n glorious city in the sea,
The sea is in the broad, the narrow streets,
Ebbing and flowing, and the salt sea-weed
Clings to the marble of her palaces.
No track of man, no footsteps to and fro
Lead to her gates The path lies DER ike sea
ldvincible; and from the land we went
As to floating city-steering in
And gliding up her street; rs in dream,
So smoothly, silently-by many dome,
Mosque-like and many stately portico
The statues ranged along an azure sky
BY many pile, in more than eastern pride,
Of the old residences of merchant kings
The fronts of some, tho Time had shattered
them,
Still glowing with the richest hues of art,
AS tho the wealth within them had run
DER"
So sang Rogers as he entered Venice,
and so must feel every sensitive mind in
the same circumstances. The poet had
one advantage, as it respects the poetical
element, in that he and the men of his
time could enter Venice only in boat :;
whereas now we rush into the city in a
railroad train. But perhaps the present
arrangement is as curious as tho old one
was. AS you approach the city, you are
astonlshed to find the cars running as it
appears, on the very water. You observe
an open sea on your side of the car YOU
at once look out from the other side, and
lind only water there. You lower the sash
and thrust your head out in astonishme nt,
looking for land as eager as Noah's dove
did. Away in the distance CLEAN the city
lamps towers and domes and crowded
chimney tops lie along the sky, but all
seem to be floating dream. Yet still
the car wheels trundle you along, and you
feel the solid ground answering to their
roll All this has happened before you
thought of it, while you were chatting
with your friends; and now the whole
party begin to wonder what has become of
the land when we launched upon the
sea; whether we are on soundings or off :;
whether we are saints or witches.
While we are debating these things, the
train has entered the station. Austrian
officers with swords dangling by their
sides are standing round, while the facans,
Or baggage men, open the doors, and point
you the way to find the "Omnibus. p
Your cars catch the familiar word omni.
bus, and you are at once convinced that
you are neither floating nor dreaming,
since this mode of conveyance belongs to
terra frma. But as you follow the process
sionof porters, passing through many apart
ments you are once more confoundod to
find yourself arrested by water. Your
luggage is slowed in boat, and your ON.

you saw in the Central Park the last time
you walked by the lake. And now away
you glide, wondering whittier, across the
wide canal, several hundred feet in width

THE EYE OF THE NEEDLE.-A recent
traveller to the Holy Land informs us that
there is at the side of the principal gate
of Jerusalem a small one, which, upon &C.
casions of great urgency, was opened for
admission of persons after the great gates
of the city were closed for the nj ght -
This gate, from its small size, was called
the Eye of the Needle and to get a cam.
CT through it at all was no small task
for a loaded camel to pass was an utter
impossibility. With the above fact before
the mind, one can see that the words of
our Saviour, when speaking of the
"straight gate' and the erich man," were
more literal than many suppose. And we
say how, as the rich man passes into the
narrow way, the sides and the low top of
the straight gates scrape everything from
him in which he had before trusted. No
one can take anything but himself through.
Far easier is it to strip camel of its bur-
den than to divest rich man Of his trust
in characterization Register.

W0MAN'S RESOLUTION.

I'll tell you of fellow
OF fellow have seen,
Who is neither white nor yellow,
But is altogether green;
And his name it is not charming,
1t is only common Bill,
And he wishes me to wed him,
But hardly think | will.
Oh, he whispered of devotion,
Of devotion pure and deep,
And it seemed so very silly,
That almost fell asleep
And he thinks it would be pleasant,
As we journey down the HILL.
To go hand in hand together,
But hardly think l will.
He told me of O cottage,
Ola cottage 'mong the trees,
And don't you think the fellow
Tumbled down upon upon his knees
While the tears the creature wasted
Were enough to turn mill,
And he begged me to accept him,
But hardly think | WILL
He was here last night to see me,
But he made so long IL stay
began TO think the blockhead
Never meant to go away;
At first l learned to hate him,
And now hate him still,
Yet he urges me to wed him,
But hardly think | will.
Pm sure wonld not choose him,
But the very deuce is in it,
For he says if l refuse him,
He could not live a minute;
Now you know the blessed Bible
Plainly says we must not kill,
So I've thought the matter over,
And l rather Mink 1 aUiU!
