IRVING AND THE THIEvING BOYS.

Mr.. Irving was full of the milk of hu-
man kindness, but even he couldn't SUBJ
nit composedly to the robbery of his or
chards. The following incident will show
how he stopped it: ...'.. ..
When he first moved into this region he
was much annoyed by thefts, which some
bold boys perpetrated upon his fruit. He
determined to stop their visitations by >
method peculiar to himself. Learning
from the gardner that they were on the
premises, after placing him in certain
spot, with instructions how to act, he,
from the opposite side, came upon the boys
unexpectedly, but having recently settled
in the neighborhood, they were not familiar
with his appearance, and kept pocketing
his apples with the utmost nonchalanee.
He singled out the lad who apparently as
sumed the post of leader, and thus ad-
dressed him:
"Boy, those are very poor apples. 1
know of tree on which there are far bet
ter ones"
"Where is it?" asked the weary mar
rauder.
"Over yonder," pointing to the cottage.
"We're afraid of the old gentleman.
"He is not there now. You will be per-
fectly safe; but make no noise lest we be
overheard" .. 49, .. .3.@.i.......
In few moments the party were on the
march for the new forag;ng ground, Mr..
Irving leading. They advanced in single
file, and sought the shelter afforded by the
east side of prickly hedge. Ere long
the voice of the gardner was heard near
them. ...... ....
"Be quiet" said the leader, or we shall
be discovered. "Keep near the hedge,
every one of you" 80
Fear made them hug closely to the COW
ert, which they imagined only concealed
them from the dreaded proprietor. The
thorns pricked them sorely; but the great
er danger which was imminent made them
Indifferent to the pain: inflicted by the
thorns. ... ...''.~..,1 49,. 81. ..,.Fs
Soon they approached the desired apple
tree, and as they gathered round it, saw
the gardener approaching from direction
which made escapef impossible. 70. -.-.
"Boys," said Mr.. Irving, "this is the
tree 1 spoke of, and I am the owner-Mr.
Irving. Do not be afraid, he continued; ;
81 shall not punish you the prickly hedge
has done that sufficiently already. | only
ask that when you want to eat my fruit,
you will come to me and ask for it. q do

B@ A censorious tutor, in lecturing to
his class "On the Vice of Betting" declar-
ed that under no circumstances could a bet
be anything but a sin and shame. 'sBut
you've always gone in for one kind Of bet, :"
exclaimed an irreverent pupil. The tutor
was at first stupefed with amazement at
such effrontery, but recovering his self pos
session, he blandly informed the student,
that if he could make his statement good,
he should have holiday. "Well haven't
you always been in favor of the alphabet ?"
asked the student. The teacher 'gave it
up."

A LOW.COMEDY MULE.

In the spectacular performance of Hump
ty Dumpty, now running at the Olympic,
a small mule is introduced, and is made to
appear quite comically, by the dexterity Of
his heels. ......s
About fortnight ago the regular ami
nal fellill, and an amateur was substituted.
When one of the characters touched the
new mule to make him kick, he began in
admirable style. He kicked off the fellow,
and kicked him twice before he touched the
boards. Then he ran towards several of
the other dranaatis persone, and kicked
them. Every object on the stage, whether
material or mental, he kicked off. Next
he began on the scenery. He kicked down
a whole forest, three good-sized cottages, a
picturesque cascade, a granite prison, a
robbers cave, royal palace, the Rialto,
and Vesuvius in eruption, and was about to
attack the "grand transmutation scene"
from "Midsummer-Night's Dream" when
a rope was thrown around his neck, and he
was dragged off by the whole strength of
the company, assisted by all the able-bodied
supernumeraries. a.. .<.t-- 81.
The audience, many Of whom supposed
the obstreperous mule part of the perform
ance, were delighted at his energy, and de.
manded, with deafening plaudits, q repeti-
ton of the scene. The uproar was SO great
that the manager came out and said that an
intermission of fifteen minutes would be
given to enable some of the actors to recov-
er the breath that ID mule had kicked
out of them, and pledged his honor that the
brute should never make another appear
ance on the Olympic stage.
At this the audience roared louder than
ever, and for nearly half an hour the per-
formance was suspended by the universal
gufaw.
Every night since, the kicking mule has
been called for, and the manager Of the the
atre has, in consequence, inserted an adver-
tisement in the daily papers that the ami
NAL was mysteriously y knocked in the head
the same night of his successful debut

A CONTENTED MIND,

81 saw the most splendid doll down
town." said Carrie. 'tIt was as big as
baby, and it had such beautiful curly hair,
and parian arms and feet-not old kid
ones, as my doll has. I wish it was mine.

very fond of dolls, too; but we did not have
such handsome ones as children have now
a-days. 7 never had any except a rag
one, with bead eyes, but was continually
wishing for a Gernan doll, made of wood,
with painted face. One day, my mother
told me to get ready for a walk with her,
saying that, after came home, she would
give me money to buy doll, if still wish
ed for one.'ai Iwas delighted. We went
tothe poorest part Of the town, and enter
cd small house, hearing q little girl sing
ing as we opened the door. I was sur
prised to find she was the only person in
the house, and that she was blind. She
sat in q chair by the fire, knitting, and
seemed very happy, We sat down, and
mother told her she had brought her little
girl to see her, and asked if she did not
feel livery lonely when her mother, was away
Sometimes, but not very often,' she said,
sfor I like to knit. fast, so that 1 can sell
many stockings; then, if l begin to be
lonely, |, sing hymns, or repeat Bible YER

and asked her if she would like to have me
come and read to her sometimes. She was
delighted, and looked 50 happy as she said,
No one has ever thought Of reading to me
but mother, and she has very little time:

DESTRUCTION OF STUMPs.-We have
heard of two methods for getting rid of
stumps, which, as they appear feasible
and indispensable, we hope some reader will
try, and report upon. Bore with two
inch auger to- the heart or centre; fill the
cavity thus made with sulphuric acid, or
with crude petroleum. In the first case,
the acid becomes the destructive agent
within few months; in the latter, when
the stump becomes saturated, as it will,
with the oil, it is fred, and will then burn
out to the last particle, like candle.

,OBEYING ORDERS.

An old chap in Connecticut, who was one
of tkemest niggardly men in that part Of
the country, carried on blscksmithing bust.
ness very extensively, and also boarded all
his own hands. And to show he envied the
men what they ate, he would always have a
bowl of bean soup dished up for himself to
cool, while that for the hands was served
up in . large pan just from the boiling pot.
The old fellow had an apprentice who was
rather unlucky among the hot irons, fire.
quently burning his fingers. The old man
scolded him severely one day for being so
careless. .sas.. as s..5.z. e. .1.... .
eHow can tell if they are hot unless
they are red ?" said the boy. .5
assNever touch anything again until you
spit on it; if it don't hiss it won't burn"
In day or two the man sent the boy in
to see if his soup was cool. The boy went
in-spit in the bowl, and, of course, the
soup did not hiss. So he went back and
told the boss that all was right. ...
stDinnerp' cried he.
All hands rum; down sat the old man at
the head of the table; and in went a large
spoonful Of the hot boiling soup into his
mouth. -.
.siGood heavens!'' cried the old man in a
great rage. "What did you tell me that
lie for, you young rascal :"
81 did not lie" said the boy, innocently.
ssYou told me that / must always spit on
everything to try if it was hot, so spit in
your bowl and the soup did not hiss, SO I
supposed it was cool. -
Judge of the effect upon the jours. That
boy was never in want of friends among
the iourneymen after that.
