Night Scene in a Boarding House.

A lady, whose husband is in California.
Calcutta, or Chicago suddenly awakened
from her sleep the other morning, about two
o'clock, and spinging from her bed, dashed
out of her room en- dishdbiHe, screaming at
the top of her voice, " Murder Help Muir
der Man in my room," &C., &C. Under
the circumstances this was quite natural
inasmuch as more than one mistake had
happened in the house recently. Now, it
appeared that no less than three husbands
were absent when they should have been
there, and consequently there was more or
less wonder, mixed up with a species of
apprehension on the part of three wives,
each one wondering whether it was her
husband who had thus forgotten himself or
the room.
"Oh, come up quickly" shouted the ter.
rified female, holding on to the outside door
knob, = Pve got him n.'
'If it's my Josey," said another discon-
solate, "I'll learn him better. ConfOund
these night suppers, now he's been at one of
them, and has mistaken the room, and there
I've been alone all night"
Has he got whiskers ?" anxously asked
the wife upon reaching the landing upon the
upper floor.
Yes, nam, great big bushy whiskers,
laying right alongside of my cheek when 1
awoke. Dear me, if my Alexander was
here, he'd learn him better, I'll warrant
you"
" Joseph Joseph Josey ~ shouted the
wife. No answer came not even grunt,
incident to intoxication.
g May be he has jumped out of the win
dow" suggested the four or five females all
at once, who made splendid group of long
white drapery.
Here-helpl bring light-bring a
light" shouted several of the females
Presently a light was brought, and several
of the male boarders appeared, all armed to
give the thief or robber such treatment as he
had justly earned for himself.
The door was opened, and in rushed the
valiant squad, and sure enough the fellow
was still in bed, with the top of his head
just peeping above the sheet.
Come out of here, you scoundrel!" !" said
one of the men, at the same time grasping
him by the hair
The tableaux was strikingly interesting
and graphic.
The resolute boarder almost fell from tho
impetus he had given himself, for instead of
Jerking out man, it was nothing more than
a d" frizzed chignon' which the lovely occu
pant OF the bed had forgotten to take off
whel she retired for the night 1t had been
detached in her sleep, and grazing her cheek,
awakened her. The alarm, of course was
quite natural. The boarders had hearty
laugh, and all retired to happy Dreams

ing miles the flames of mills, and barns. and
railway tes leaped up. Column and pumes
moved northward, as if the foxes of Sampson
swept on with their frebrands blazing. and
before them cattle, and mules and Sheep,
and teams were driven like the funeral of the
animal creation behind them were women
wrlnging their hands, and pail of smoke
like cloud on the mountains. The streams
by night were of FURNISHED gold, papitating
with their reflected flashes, and by day the
broad marching dragon held f the Potomac,
breathing gray and cindery. When he had
passed, the summer had gone out of the win
ter nights, the familiar beasts were departed :;
only the dogs howled to see the women weep
ing.
To day | stood on Milroy's Hill and looked
again over this glowing creation A harvest
such as peace seldom knew is hung between
the mountains. Ittrembles with desire when
the reapers draw near. The mills are fewer
and here and there blackened chimney
rises; but the power and the light are in
the streams as ever, and even the woods are
growing tall and strong once more Not
one family perished by the punishment of the
burning Sheridan. War departed all the
quicker with its daily wayside murders, and
peace came all the earlier and fonder.

CHURCH ETIQUETTE.-Le the lady advance
Que pace beyond the door of the pew she
wishes to enter, half about face and salute
The pew must then be vacated by such
gentlemen as are in it, by flank movement.
The squad should rise simultaneously when
the lady presents herself and face by the
right flank, then deploy into the aisle, the
head man facing the lady, and the rest
walking to his right and rear, the direction
of bis halt being changed by right counter
march, and forming again into line up and
down the aisle, still faced by the right flank.
The lady, when the coast is clear, completes
her salute and advances to her seat in the
pew. The gentlemen break off by files from
the rear, and resume their places. Great
care should be taken, of course, by other
parties, not to enter the aisle when this
evolution is in progress, until it is CON-
pleted.

ARTLEss SIMPLIcITY.-One of the sweetest
incidents we have noticed for many day,
and which shows the effect of early training,
assisted by pure and undefled imagination,
has just fallen under our observation. 1t is
thus related: "A lady visited New York
city and saw on the side walk ragged, cold
and hungry little girl, gazing wistfully at
some Of the cakes in the shop window. She
stopped, and taking the little one by the
hand led her in.o the store. Though she
was aware that bread might be better for the
cold child than cake, yet desiring to CRAFTY
the shivering and forlorn one, she bought.
and gave her the cake she wanted. She
then took her to another place where she
procured a shawl and other articles of com
fort. The grateful little creature looked the
benevolent lady full in the face, and with
artless implicitly, said: +" Are you Gods
wife Z" Did the most eloquent sr eaker ever
employ words to better advantage?

THE Japanese in Paris have taught the
cooks at the Grand Hotel how to bake ice
creams. Freeze your ice as hard as possible,
wrap 1t very quickly in thin crust of pastry,
and put 1t in the oven. The pastry will be
baked before the ice mets (for the pastry is
good non-conductor of heat) serve hot,
and you may enjoy the pleasure of eating hot
pastry and ice cream at the same time.

AN UNFORTUNATE PRINCEss.- London
correspondent of the New York Times
says:
The poor Princess of Wales. after months
of torturing confinement without the posi-
bility of exercise, has been ordered to the
baths of Germany. as last resort. 1t is to
be feared that this most delicate and beauti-
ful Princess has been crippled for
life. She was too young, too fragile for the
duties of her exalted station and the burdens
of maternity Three children in less than
three years exhausted her vitality, and
brought on rheumatic fever, which, scien-
tifcally treated by the best surgical skill in
England, has resulted in a lameness from
which she may never recover. 1t is a sad
case. Never was beautiful Princess received
more triumphantly than this one on her
marriage with the Prince of Wales. Never
was the opening career of a future Monarch
and his bride entered upon more joyously.-
Now the prospect is clouded. The Prince of
Wales has not the qualities which would
enable him to take his place at the head of
| the youthful aristocracv of England. The
Queen may live for forty years, and there is
no seeming likelihood either of her assuming
the social position Sovereign is expected to
hll, or OF abdicating the crown. The pros
pect OF holding the awkward position of heir
apparent during the long period of the proba-
bic life of her Majesty is not an enviable one.

The Prince of Wales, whose fondness for
Paris makes Englishmen grumble, received
a severe "snubi at La Mabille, the other
evening. from Teresa, one of the queens of
the cancan. On being informed who was
the object of her rebuke, she remarked: " If
he is indeed Prince, so much the more

SOMETHING ABOUT CAPTAIN ScRIBER-
Captain VIM. E. Scriber, whose melancholy
death was mentioned in the Call Yesterday
morning, was an old soldier, and was literally
covered with wounds from the top of his head
to the sole of his foot. He was member of
OF one of the New York Volunteer Regiments
IN the Mexican war, and participated in six
battles under the command of General Win
field Scott. AT the battle of Cerro Gordo he
was wounded through the feshy part of the
left thigh, but recovered sufficiently to take
part in the assault upon the City of Mexico,
and IN that engagement he received a wound
through the right thigh, which laid him fiat
on his back, and kept him there for several
weeks. At the breaking out of the war of
the Rebellion, he enlisted in the Fourth
Regiment of New York Volunteers, and was
appointed Ensign. He went down Upon the
Potomac, and acted with such gallantry in
several skirmishes that he was promoted to a
Lieutenancy. He accompanied General
McClelan's expedition, when, in obedience
to the national order of - On to Richmond, ="
he marched toward the stronghold of Seces
sIa. In one Of the engagements-Fair Oaks
he received q bullet in the hand, which
came out about three inches above the wrist
At Malvern Hill he was on duty, and a shell
bursting in his immediate vicinity, he was
struck in the side by piece of it, and had
three of his ribs broken. He recovered suffi-
ciently to be in the fight at Antietam, where,
in q hand to-hand encounter with a cav
airy soldier wearing the rebel uniform, he
received terrible cut on the head from
sabre. In this engagement he acted as one
of General McClellan's aids. After his re-
coyery from this wound he was engaged in
skirmish near Harper's Ferry, and received
a sabre wound in the right leg, just above
the ankle. In another skirmish he was
wounded through the foot. He was promoted
to Captaincy, for gallant conduct on the
field, on the 18th of September, 1862, and at
the close of that year was honorably discharg
ed from the service, on a surgeons certii-
cate. He was very fond of fighting his
battles over again, and describing the many
thrilling scenes in which he participated
