Lost His Clothes.

A few nights ago, a gentleman whom
we shall call Muggins, after playing sew
en.up a, Bessehl's until after | | clock,
sought his domicil in a stale of staggering
saubri.y. The cunning of men in that
happy condition is proverbial, anc Mug
gins had often deceived his wife, as he
supposed, by various excuses 10 account
fo- his delay in coming home late. On
this occasion he hit upon the plan of dis
rohing in The dressing.room, slipping
quietly into bed, and making lis wife be-
Iieve that he had been 10 roost for at least
an hour. Full of this cunning idea, he
entered The dressing-room very softly, and
planting himself before the window,
which haG been left open, he pulled of
his 6vercoat. He would not take time 10
hang his duds on the hooks, bot would
jus, toss them in and le, them hang on
lhe floor. Ii so happened tha, he mis-,
took the open window for The wardrobe,
and pitched lis overcoat out. His under.
coat, vest, and pants. with fine gold re.
peater in the fob pocket, followed suit.
Without discovering his mistake, he slip.
ped into bed, where Mrs. Muggins was
comfortably snoozing. and wen, to sleep
without letting her know that he had re.
turned. In The morning. when Mugglns
went TO dress himself, he could find moth.
ing Of his loggery bu. his boots. His
wife believes that some sly burglar enter
ed the house by the open window and
carried off her hui bands clothes. Mug.
gins has resolved not 10 try 10 fool bis
wife again.

A Pious Gambler.

The venerable Rev. DIR. Ashbel Green
Of Philadelphia. who died some two years
ago, kept an photographed volume
which contained many interesting remi-
nscenses. He speaks of meeting. while
on visi, to lhe Warm Springs OF Virgin
ia. a notorious gambler, Major WHY'S,
who had been gallant officer in The reg
ulsr revolutionary army, and was re-
markaSle man in many respects. both Of
body and mind. He was at the mead OF
all the gamblers in Virginia; and when
DR.. Green heard of his coming TO the
Warm Springs, where be had got the
company TO treat religion respectfully, he
said 10 SO ious man who was well &C.
quain,ed with the Major. iha, he was
afraid he would give him trouble. The
gentleman replied that it was an unneces-
sary fear: ths, The Major valued himself
on being friend TO the clergy; and, al
though dreadfully profane, he never swore
in the presence of a minister Of the Cos
pei OF whatever denomination. This tes-
iimony DR.. Green found 10 be strictly
true. WHY'S not only attended public
worship regularly, bu, vas an advocate for
asking blessing and returning thanks at
the common meals; aud in the absence OF
clergymsn, was accustomed 10 ask
blessing and give thanks himself. At the
Virginia Sweet Springs. he once said to
circle Of his gambling friends : "Gen-
tlemen, you may think Of i, as you please
and laug h a, it, as ! know you will, yet ii
is strictly true, tina, never close my eyes
till have committed myself 10 the pro-
tectjon of nv God"

A Home without q Sister.

Who ,ha, has been deprived Of Q sister
can rehrc, upon The closing scenes OF her
mortal existence without the deepest sor'
row and sadness Of heart A mon,h, or
less, perhaps a short week since, and she
was among The living; there was the same
cheerful coun,enance; the same joyous
spirit; the same care and though, for those
whose happy loi il was to enjoy her So
cie,y. But she is gone, and how sad Tho
change! The returning brother will meet
no more her welcome smile. He visi,s
the home of her childhood with heavy
heart. He approaches the threshold and
looks upon strangers counlenance; no
listens, and a strangers voice falls upon
his ear. He fancies for once that i, is all
dream; he passes from chamber TO
chamber. seeking in vain for the departed
one. She is not there Oh. What ago.

resting upon his splri, His once happy
home has now no charms, no comforts,
no alluremenis for him.

"Flow forth afresh my tears"
To him who is still The recipient Of .
sisters kindness and attention, a shsrer in
her symnathies. her love and affections,
these thoughts may seem visionary; but
they are sad, sober truths. and mourn
ling brother, one who has been brought 10
feel too keenly the pangs OF sundered lies
of sisterly affection, cannot doubt 'aslr

The love OF the beautiful is a natural

An Old Stea mbOat Idea.

Our London correspondent says the
Philadelphia Inquirer in recent letter
gave us The following piece of ne VS.
"A steamer has just made its trial trip
on the Thames, propelled without either
paddle. wheel or screw. The new prln'
ciple of motion is called The "Hydraullc
Propeller" 1t appears that water in
certain quantities. is taken in at the bow
of the vessel, and. by simple machine
ry worked by a steam engine, elected al
the stern, which gives The vessel an i'm.
petus forward. The vessel tried the 9th.
er day competed successfully with the
other river steamers. The Government
is said TO be constructing a gun'boat, 10
be worked on the new principle"
In this matter we may learn how old
things are revived. The steamboat which
was propelled by such novel means. so
supposed, is no, the first operated upon
,hs, prin, iple which has moved upon The
river Thames. 1t had predecessor
which sstohished people who were upon
the same river seventy.,hree years ago.
which obtained propulsion by the plan
now used. The inventor of this boat
was james Rumsey, of Virginia, who,af-
Ter having invented a boat 10 60 against
tie streams Of rivers by mechanical &C.
tion working upon setting poles, abandon
ed that plan for what was called "ihe
trunk boat" which sucked in water al the
bow, and elected il a, the stern, gaining
motion by both actions. Rumsey first
moved his pumping boa, BY steam, at
epherdstown, on the Potomac river. in
December, 1887. He was successful IN
showing that he could succeed in Eaviga-
,on by such q principle, but his machine
ry being necessarily imperfect. he did
but little mo,e than 10 prove the utility
of the idea by short experimental trip.
He therefore went 10 England, where he
obtained patents for the steamboat, and
succeeded in forming company TO build
a boat. Before the work was finished
Rumsey died from sppoPlexy. His
partners finished the boat, and in Febru.
sry, 1893, it was tried in The Thames. land
found to have speed of four miles an
hour against wind and tide. But the
death of Rumsey Disconnected the al
rangemenis of the owners. and the idea
was abandoned, TO be revived on the
Thames by later generation, and TO be
spoken of as something new
