Getting in st Night.


home, said Tom, and how to get in
without waking the governor was
the difficulty. l know he would
give me particular fits if he knew
/ was out after ten, and the clock
had just struck one. The back
yard was an impossibilty, and but
one chance remained. There was a
porch over the front door, the roof
of which was few feet below the
windows. One of them l knew to
be fastened down, and the other
opened from q bed room, which
might or might not be occupied.
An old maiden sister Of the govern
or's wife arrived on the same day,
and it was very probably that she
was in that room, but knew the bed
was in the corner furthermost from
the window, and 1 hoped to be able
to get in and through the room with
ont awaking her, and then | should
have comparatively easy time of it.
So, getting Il plank from the neigh
boring boardpiles, I rested it against
the caves of the shed, pulled Oft my
shoes, put them in my pocket and
"cooncd." All right so far, but l
thought it necessary, in order not to
arouse suspicion in the morning, to
remove the plank; so dragging it
up I threw it off the end, down it
went with an awful clatter on a stray
dog that had followed me two or
three squares, and who Immediately
set up tho most awful whine abound
ever gave tongue to. That started
half dozen dogs in the ncighbor-
hood barking; a mocking bird in
the window above commenced as if
he intended to split his throat at it,
and woman in her nightclothes ap-
peared at the window across tho
street. l knew l was safe so far as
she was concerned but ifany one
should come to our window the can
die would give light enough to have
discovered mo. Nobody came, how
ever, and the lady after peeping up
and down the street for moment or
two popped in her head and retired.
The mocking bird still kept up its
eternal whistle, ard it was full half
an hour before he and the dogs set
tied down and gave me chance to
move. Creeping slowly along the
wall till I reached the window. l put
my hands on the sill. sprang in, and
with my leg- dangling out, stopped
TO listen. Yes, she was in the room.

THE DoNKEY.-Thc ass is a ma

goes in troops and displays great nat
ural sagacity, activity and courage.
Wo read in Job, "He scorncth the
multitude ofthe city, neither regard
eth tho crying Of the driver" lie
has been from time immemorial tho
faithful servant of man, subject to
few maludies, and hearty and endur-
ing. lie will subsist and even thrive
Oh coarse forage, Job says again of
his natural haunts: Whose house I
have made the wilderness and tho
barren land his dwellings, the range
of mountains his pasture, and he
searcheth after every green thing"
Xenophon says of the Asiatic deserts
through which he passed with the
army Of Cyrus, "tha. it was full of
wormwood, and the seeds and shurbs
which grow there had aromatic smell,
but no trees appeared" OF all the
wild creatures on those deserts, the
ass was moro numerous aud most
fleet of foot. There are several diff
fercnt breeds of asses. There two
kinds in Persia, the larger slow,
heavy brute, used only for burdens; !;
tho other smaller and more spirited,
and used for the saddle. III Spain, q
difference in size aud spirit prevails,

TIE JEWS TAKE THE FIELD
AGAINST GRANT.--Thc Israclites
have good memories, and. are good
haters, where they arc unjustly dealt
with, or maligncd and traduced.
Having denied and most barbarously
abused and outraged the people Of
that ancient nation, their leading Or
gan has already taken the field against
Grant for his infamous general order
ofthe It'll, of December, 1862, in
which all Israclites were "expelled
from the department of Tennessee"
at "twcnty four hours notice."
This sweeping condemnation of
whole class of citizens caused gen-
cral outcry Of horror all over tho
Union, and was condemned in a res
o!ution introduced in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Pcndlcton,
who is likely to be Grants opponent
for the Presidency. The leading Or
gan of the illuminated people says
that "as Jew we cannot and will
not vote for man who has done us
more Shameless injustice than any
man in power in this country, ard
we hope aud expect that tho Jewish
press will como out against him."

THE HUMAN BoDY.-While tho
gastric juice has mild, bland, sweet.
ish taste, it possesses the power of
digesting the hardest food that can
be swallowed. 1t has no influence
whatever on the tibcrs of the living
animal; but in tho moment of death
it begins to cat them away with the
power of tho strongest acid. There
is dust on the sea aud land-in the
valley and on the mountain top
there is dust always and everywhere.
The atmosphere is full of it. 1t pen
etrates the noisome dungeon, and vis-
its the deepest and darkest caves of
the earth. No palace door can shut.it
out; no drawer is so secret as to es-
cape its presence. Every breath of
wind dashcs it upon tho open eye,
which yet is not blinded, because
there is a fountain of the blandest
fluid in nature necessarily cmptying
itself under the eyclid, which spreads
itself over the surface of the eyeball,
at every winking, md washes every
atom Of dust away. This liquid, so
we'll adapted to the eye itself, has
some acidity, which, under certain
circumstances, becomes so decided as
to be scalding to the skin, and would
rot away the cyclids were it not that
along the edges ofthem arc little oil
manufactures, which spread over the
surface coating as impervious to tho
liquids necessary for keeping the eye
balls clean, as the best varnish is i'm
peryious to water.
