Ir.Ing,s Rumors with Little Folks.

MIR. Charles Augustus Davis gives the
|4ollowing anecdotes of IRVING. iIies-
trative of his humors toward children.
The first took place at Saratoga /:
In one of these ramblesaI recoffect
his attention was arrested by the crying
and sobbing of poor little barefooted
and ragged boy, wearing an old 'cone
shaped" hat that had lost all its oriei-
nal form. He had just been punished
by an elder sister, q thin, slatternly
young vixen, who was following him.
MIR. Irving. at once reading the whole
story, turned aside from our route, and
commenced, in the most friendly tone,
with, 81 know what is the matter with
my little boy. 1t is enough to make
anybody cry, to wear a hat that falls
down over his eyes SO that he can't
see, and stubbing his little toes. see
the cause of all this trouble" And
with that he took eff the old hat, and
rolling its fiabby rim inward, replaced
it on the little boys head. "There. {"
said he. ''that is all right now
Both the children, COMPOUNDED by the
event, stood for time silent, and then
moved off, chuckling together at his
oddity, while Mr.. Irving resumed his
walk, not the less gratified at his sue
cess in turning scene of grief into one
Ct gladness.
And in this connection will venture
to relate another simple incident, show
ing his interest in children. On his
return from Saratoga, / accompanied
him portion of his way homeward.
We We're seated together. and directly
in front of us sat an anxious mother
with three children-one, an infant in
her arms, and the other two, boy and
a girl of some two or three years of age,
giving the mother great trouble, and
waking the infant by striving to clam
Der over her to look out of the window.
Mr.. Irving at once intcrposed, and
lifting each alternately over his lap,
and looking at his watch said. ''Now
three minutes for each to look out of
my window" and began lifting them
over and replacing them, each in turn,
accordingly, till they were tired of il.
though much gratifed.

How a Contraband was Frightened.

| A friend dropped in to the Times office
few days since, aud the conversation
turning on the submarine armor used
by divers at the Navy Yard, whose bus
mess it is to scour and repair the bot.
toms of vessels, &C., &C., he told us
an anecdote which was somewhat laugh.
able in that connection. Those who
have seen these men In their submarine
armor we'll know Sghat frightful look
| ing figures they are. The covering for
the head is as large as a bushel basket,
and two round pieces of thick glass are
in the place OF eyes, SO that the diver
can see how to prosecute his work,
while under water.
An old gunner at the Navy Yard was
down South, and was assigned to duty
on one of the monitors. One day a
couple of divers were at work securing
the bottom of the Iron-clad, when a
negro came alongside with boat load
of melons to sell. He was prosecuting
his trade, and asking pretty steep
price for his wares, when suddenly
there uprose, apparently from the bot
tom of the river, one of these awful
figures, clad in submarine armor. The
figure fixed his enormous google eyes
of glass on the astounded contraband,
and then seizing a melon in each arm
from the boat, sunk once more with
his prizes .tC the watery depths be-
meath.
The negro uttered wild yell of ter
ror, made tremendous leap clear
across the iron-clad, and was never seen
or heard of again in that locality. He
did not even send after his melons and
boat.
Such an apparition, rising out of the
water, before man who had never
seen submarine armor before, was
enough to brighten anybody, so Sambo
was not to be blamed for his fright
We suppose that that darkey will swear
for the rest of his life that he has seen
the devil with his own eyes. -Brook.in

A Seasonable Flint.

1t has grown to be quite custom with
some people, just as the play is about ending.
to seize their hats or muffs, and rush from
the theatre, not only to the discomfort and
disgust of those who wish to see the perform-
ance in its entirety, but also to the ereat an.
noyance of the players. This practice. we ara
sorry to say, is tolerated here, and scoras Of
people leave the house, with great hustle AMI ~
noise before the last words Of The NAV b GNU
been spoken. Such custom is rsdicaiIr
wrong-should be frowned down by the neH-:
papers and the public. 1t certainly shows
want Of regard for the comfort Of Others. if NOT
positive i'll breeding. The true gentleman or
lady will do nothing that would in the slight
est degree interfere with the well-being of any
one else. Measured by this criterion, the
number of ladies and gentlemen would be
rather small. The excuse which would be
most often offered by such people, that they
wished to obtain exit before the crowd accum-
ulated, Is of little force, as sober reason would
show. Ifevery theatre-goer would mentally
resolve not to leave his seat until the curtain
mad definitely fallen--or at least in the inter
mission OF the piay-the comfort and pleas
ufe OF the remainder of the audience would be
much enhanced.-lThe Stage.
