OBTAlSGNG MONEY UNDER FALSE PRE-
rrscus.-A man named Andrew Durchln
was arrested on Monday, the 10th inst, by
Detective Mitsch, under charge OF obtain
ing money under false pretences. MitSch
has been upon his track for some time, and
Yesterday becoming certain that he conf.
denced a citizen he tapped him professionally
on the shoulder. The facts of the case, as
near as we could ascertain them, seem to be
these: Some time in September last Durchln
obtained $50 from two individuals on the
false plea that he had his money deposited
in bank at interest, and did not wish TO DIS
turb it. The money was asked for merely
az temporary loan, to be returned in day
or two thereafter. Waiting for him tofullh
bis promise until their patience was ex
hausted, they examined the statements hi
had made them and found thathe had nj
money deposited IN bank. he was then ar
rested, brought before Magistrate Wagene
and plead guilty. He was held in $500 bal
to appear at court, and sent to jail in dc
fault Of security.

SHARPER THAN SHARPE.

# you have ever been il B-,you
have undoube heard of Simon Sharpe.
lie is considered the sharpest man in the
country, His father was old John Sharpe
and his mothers maiden name YVES Jennie
Keene and they are not at all related,
even by marriage. to the Blunt family.
Perhaps it is unnecessary 10 remark that
Simon Sharpe was wealthy. His money
proves his sharpness; for he has added a
great deal to what his father left him. Mr..
Sharpe lets money out at sharp interest,
takes mortgage on any and every kind Of
property, and occasi nally makes sharp
trade. In B-oimon Sharpe is consid-
cred just as good as the Bank, if not bet
ter.
Such sharp men are generally misery, [
believe but it is not so with Simon Sharpe
People call him generous, even outside Of
business matters He lived in fine house
on Picket street, keeps a,carria5e, and
drives the best pair OF horses there is in the
country. His wife is considered, by her
neighbors, very extravagant: but doesn't
seem to trouble him at ALL His daughter
is ditto; but that doesn't trouble any one
but your humble servant.
Now you want to know why should
care about that and | am going to tell
you if you don't hurry me-
This daughter was Simon Sharpe's only
child. She was beautiful and her name
was Angelina. She was sweet tempered,
and her hair wasof chestnut brown. She
was angelic, and her eyes were blue. She
loved me, and wore number two slippers
[ loved her, and she knew it, [ loved her
to distraction, and had only fifteen dollars
and thirty-six cents in my pocket at the
time [ declared my passion. She was ex-
trayagant, and how could | support her !?
III couldn't support her, how could [
marry her ? If [ couldn't marry her, how
could escape a broken heart? 1t was an
impossibiity
Then I thought that perhaps Mr. Simon
Sharpe might take pity upon me, or, if not
upon me upon his daughter-his own flesh
and blood who was pinlng away just for
the want of something to love.
[ hurried before him. I found him in
his Office He was smoking his pipe and
reading his morning paper. I think he was
surprised to see me. had no money to
lend. and had no security to give should I
wish to borrow
"Good-morning, Mr.. Tiddington Tiddi-
hawk" s.
Good morning, Mr. Sharpe"
Is there anything that | can do for
you, Mr. Tiddihawk p he asked, throwing
down his paper and smiling blandly.
Eyes, sir, you can make me happy"
Mr.. Sharpe grinned grimly, displaying
a set Of teeth Of a very wolfsh pattern.

Grandfat theirs Pet.

This is the 90 ! where she slept,
Only year ago
Quiet and carefully swept,
Blinds and curtains like snow.
There, by the bed in the duskv gloom,
She would kneel with her tiny clasped hands,
and pray
Here is the little white rose Of room,
With the fragrance fed away!
Nelly. grandfather's pet,
With her wise little face,-
seem TO see her yet
Singing about the place;
But the crowds roll on, and the streetsare drear,
And the world seems hard with bitter doom,
And Nelly is singing elsewhere, here
Is the little white rose Of room
Why if she stood just there,
AS she used to do,
With her long light yellow hlir,
And her eyes of blue
If she stood, say, at the edge of the bed,
And ran to my side with living touch,
Itlo KNOW SHE Is quiet, ana Dufleu anu dead
Should not wonder much;
For she was oyoung you know
Oply seven years DID,
And She loved me, loved me, 80,
Though [ was gray d old
And her face SO wise, and so sweet to see,
And it still looked living, when she lay dead
And she used to plead for mother aud NE
BY the side Of that very bed
| wonder now, if she
Knows am standing here,
Feeling, wherever she be,
We hold the place so dear?
1t cannot be that she sleeps too sound,
Still III her little nighgown drest,
OF to hear my footsteps sound,
IN the room where she used to rest.
l have felt hard fortunes stings,
AnG battled in doubt aud strife,
And never thought much Of things
Beyond this human lfe
But cannot think that my darling died
Like great strong men, with their prayers
untrue,
Nay rather she sits at Gods own side,
And sings MS she used to do.
