Saved by L sMiracle"-A Funny
Sketch.

Many years since, there lived in
the not over classic neighborhood of
Dock Square, an old fellow who was
called by the boys, General H. He
kept a gin mill'' and "prop shop"
and was what is known as a hard
case. One morning he addressed
the crowd of loungers thus:
"Boys, had a queer dream last
night-a most 'stronary dream-in
fact"
"Well, General, what was it
what did you dream
"Wall, boys, 1 dreamed 1 died"
"No did you2 Weh," said all
the crowd in breath, "where did
you 60 to p
"Went to Heaven"
go, come now, General, that is a
little too much, you know - couldn't
be, you know
Fact e boys, for all that r went
60 Heaven" @
"But how did you get in, Gener-
alp
"Wall, that's the queer part on it,
and will tell you how. You see,
when / got there, made my way up
to a gate, and knocked, and asked
what place that wss, aud somebody
booked over the wall and asked me
What ] wanted, and / said ] wanted
to come inside. Then he said he was
Saint Peter, and that was the gate of
Heaven, and l told him that was just
where l wanted to 60 to. He asked
me some questions, and was just goin'
to let me in, when, just my tarnal
luck. along came the devil, and he
hollered out to Peter that l belonged
to him, and hadn't any business in

right away, Peter he come outside,
and says he, Satan, what claim have
you got on that soulr why, says
the devil she is my man; he's been

in Boston more than twenty years.

A Letter from John Paul.--The New
York Academy.

York Academy.
There was deal Of beauty and
some fine painting at the Academy
last evening, butit was moving about
the rooms rather than exhibited on
the walls. This was in accordance
with the eternal fitness of things,
for beauty does not hang well. 1t
will be remembered that most of the
condemned good looking women of
whom we have recoIed were be
headed. This, perhaps, was so that
they could not hope to wear pretty
bonnets in the resurection-which
would be about the most terrible an
guish that could be inflicted on the
temale soul.
That persons 60 to the Academy
on opening evenings to see the pic
lures is altogether fallacy. They
go to see each other, to promenade
the spacious rooms, and find excuses
for conversation. All! there are
better representations of Romeo and
Juliet in these galleries than any
that are cstalogued many pleasing
pictures are painted under the soft
gaslight which never find their way
into public notoriety.
Among the pictures that attr acted
my attention yesterday 1 may men
ton: e. -s-----E-F ~.- +
"a Study from Still Life'-the
seizure of a whisky mandatory. h 1
'sThe happy Planter" man bury
ing his nother-in-law.
"Redemption,'-a scene in pawn
brokers' shop.
Resignation, "-brigadier- gener-
ais handing In their commissions.
"The last Rose of Summers
senator stumped.
"How Happy could be with
Ether" scene In a dentists rooms.
True to the Core, Eve eating
the apple.
Enjoying the first Weed,"-a
widow in her new black.
"Aiming at the End,"--a parent
chastising q child.
patients on q monument, bill
ious looking persons sitting on the
High Rock Spring at Saratoga, In
stead of buying the water at 544
where an enterprisingl
member Of the Paul family has es.
tablished an agency.
But have not time to mention all
the meritorious pictures, and GER
tainly have neither time nor space to
attempt the daubs. g.5s
En- passant-which is French for
in the passage-I noticed a picture
of game, which seemed to be well
drawn. There was also a fish piece,
which told its own tale. One paint
er was well and favorably knowen
by his fruits He contributed the
piece representing Eve and the apple
and admirable thing for Fall..open-
ng. A PORTRAIT of the President
was drawn with considerable taste,
put not -quartered~ so well as the
subject deserved.
The arrangements of the Academy
are excellent. In the hat and coat
room, if they do not return your
OWN they invariably give you better
ones, which is q charming idea, not
1T all in consonance with the usual
practice of places of popular resort.
The commissary department is the
only one with which the captlous
can find fault. 1t must be confessed
that they don't give you quite en-
ough to eat and drink. Studies
from Life" in the way of broiled
or toast, or few spark
ing gems in the way of light wines,
would be appreciated about elevenl
o'clock. When I open my Academy
of Design-which 1 intend as q sort
of an asylum for designing young
Iadies--a free lunch shall be served,
of all the delicacies which
the market affords. Indelicacies
shall be ruled out. lEffB

The Edge Of the Cataract.

A good many years since steam
boat was accustomed to make daily
trips between Buffalo and Niagra
Falls. The nearest point to which
she could approach the mighty cat
aract was Chippewa Creek, about ten
miles distant on the Canada side.
One day there was pleasure excur-
sion, and several hundred men, wo-
men and children, went down from
Buffalo.
Aftor spending the day in all sorts
of amusements, in looking upon the
Falls, admiring the rainbow, passing
under Table Rock and behind the
falling water. they gathered them
selves on board the boat toward
night to return to their homes. BY
some miscalculation of the.engineer,
sufficient steam had not been genera
ted, and when, after passing out of
the creek, the boat met the strong,
rapid current of the river, instead
of going toward, she was slowly,
slowly borne backward toward the
dreadful cataract.
The people on board, as may well
imagined, became instantly alarmed.
The color fled from their cheeks
they stood in specchless horror the
roar Of the cataract sounded fearful
ly distinct in their ears, as slowly,
slowly they were still borne back
toward the cataract.
At length the engineer bethought
him of the oil with which he lubrica-
ted the machinary. He threw it into
the furnace, the flames blazed up in
tensely, steam was generated more
rapidly, the wheel moved rouud
with increased velocity-there was a
pause as the Titan forces.were con-
tending for the mastery. A moment
more, and there was an upward move
ment Now slowly, slowly the boat
passed against the current. In a
short time the point of danger was
passed, and long heavy sigh of relief
broke from the bosom of every one
on board.
A venerable, gray-haired man was
there among them. He lifted his
hat and said, in a voice trembling
with emotion:
"The Lord hath delivered us
Great is the name Of the Lord. Let
us pray"
And down upon the deck kneeled
the multitude, while the heartfelt
offering of thanksgiving went up to
God, who had wrought for them so
great salvation.--But 1t did no. |
end here. The feeling that had been
awakened by the near approach of
death did not, with all, pass away
when the danger was over, as is very
often the case. Even there on the
brink of that awful precipice, many
found their Saviour.-A revival fol-
lowed'in the church to which many
of them belonged ut was Sabbath
school excursion and many found
peace in believing. One a man of
great wealth. dedicated much of 1t
to God in the building of church
as a memorial of his gratitude for be-
ing snatched from destruction, both
in this life and in the life to come.

The Horse-His Memory and Sagac-

An aged and venerable friend, re-

Eastern seaboard, gentleman OF
character and worth, once related to

war, when everything was unsettled
and in disorder, an acquaintance, re-
siding on the Boston road, some thir-

lost a valuable young horse, stolen
from his stable in the night. Great
search and inquiry were made for
him, but no tidings OF him could be

discovered. 10y - =
