q Tying up a Steamboat.

He waited for the boat several days, and at

and came into port. Cad shouted to the
Captain '"In the name of the Sthate of

whereof. Ill now tie We up, and eft We do
break this rope, ye'I1 break the law, and

one end of "a clothes line. into ring, the
other being tied to stone on the 1evee

didn't "sthop,'' and Cad "fred," the stone

back, hitting Cad on the leg. Cad limped

LAYING UP TREASURES IN HEAVEN
We witnessed practical illustration of
this Scriptural injunction few mornings
since, as we were passing down street. A
little boy who had been presented with
one Of those red gas balloons, by some mis-
take lost his hold upon it. and it took its
upward fight. The little brother, together
with other companions, stood and watched
it until it passed out of sight; then turn
ing to his little playfellows, with his face
beaming with hope, he SAID: "Never mind.
| can get il again when [ go to Heaven"
May the good angels preserve it for him.
We would to God the whole world had
this childs faith in immortality, and rea-
sonable hope that they may find some trea-
sure in Heaven which they had sent up
while on earth. 9 ft71tseiaas Journal.

DISAPPEARANCE OF A. STREAM. = The
Inhabitants of Saint Ismier, Dauphine, in
France, were astonished' corning
to see the bed of the stfes.-.- e4llefi traverses
the village quite dry. The Labi, as it is
called, takes its source from the waters of
a cascade, and makes its way to the Isere,
through pretty valley adorned with trees.
The explanation of the phenomenon ap-
pears to be that the soil at the footgof the
rock from which the cascade falls is some
what unstable, and from the constant mois-
ture subsistence of the soil has taken
place, and the water now runs into the
ground, considerable quantity of earth
having been washed into the valley.

the management refunded. So many actual
cases Of this kind have been stated on good
authority and without contradiction that 1t
seems more than probable that not one good
seat was sold to the public at the last sale, but
that every seat on the floor OF the house, ex-
cept those in the last row, was actually in the
hands Of spectators before the sale began.
Now, if that organization Of sharpers that deals
in tickets between managers and the public
has acquired such hold on the management
Of any entertainment, 1t is in vain to hope that
new proposals such as this subscription list
are any more than mere covers for fresh
trickery. There is but one open, straightfor-
ward way in which to sell these tickets, and
that Is by auction. Let them be sold openly
under the hammer-the best seats to the highest
bidder and then If Mr.. Dickens is sincere
in that sentiment Of tender pity for the poor
that is so charming trait In all he writes, he
can make noble contribution to their comfort
by giving to some city charity that surplus
from the purses Of the rich that the sale will
realize over the price fixed for his tickets.
His letter of donation with that money will be
the best of his Christmas Carols.
