Rascally Audacity.

Not long since man stood in Wall

tanning ten thousand dollars in gold. A
gentlcmcnly looking man, with his hat

LET me heft it; I'll guess within half an
ounce of its weight" Tho person adj
dressed mechanically handed the bag to
tho applicant, who Mt once ran out doors,
and was soon lost In the crowd, while the
looscr never saw il again. On seeing him
with his hat off. he thought him clerk In
the bank. A gentleman standing by saw
the thief remove his hat and hang 1t on q
hook, when he, too, supposed II to be some
one connected with the bank. and said
nothing. Some years since person en-

Farmers Work Too Much.

So says correspondent In that staunch

A Brutus in Humble Life,

The Evening Post OF Monday says:
ALBERT G.. Drccker Is the watchman Of
the Passaic river drawbridge on the New
ark railroad. whose business 1t Is to see
that the draw Is closed upon the approach
Of the trains. On Friday afternoon last,
Just before q passenger train was to pass
the bridge, the draw was open and Mr..
Dreckcr began to close 1t. The train was
not yet In sight, but the watcbman knew
It was coming, and that no time should'be
lost in putting the bridge In Its proper
place. While engaged In closing the
draw. q little son Of Mr.. Dreckcr, ten
years old, fell from the bridge into the
deep water below. To save the child's
life would be an easy matter, but Mr..
Drccker now saw the train laundering
along the track, and knew that the rescue
of his boy would involve the destruction
of the train. What was he to do.
We may well suppose It was moment
of supreme agony. His child was drown
ing before his eyes. and Its life could only
be purchased ut the loss Of many lives that
were In his hands. God mercifully spare
us from the bitter anguish Of such trial
as was forced upon Dreckcr He stood by
his duty. the bridge was closed. and the
train passed safely over it-but the boy
was drowned. Little did any passenger
In that train dream Mt what a fearful
struggle between sense Of duty and the
natural promptings Of the human heart
the safe passage Of the bridge had been
secured.
Such Is the story Of Albert G. Drecker.
Historians and poets have told us
,IISx we'll I y IIS!..Iu, g =. y, ssp. s,J the bridge
but the Jersey railroad servant kept the
bridge" Mt costlier sacrifice than the Ro-
man Captain. And what rcmains7 Drcck-
er Is poor man; his position In life Is an
humble one. and, while his loss Is ire
parable, his noble conduct may be reward.
cd. Tho railway company owes him a
heavy debt; the passengers on that Fri.
day afternoon train should deem 1t priv
ilege to contribute to raise monument
to tho child. to fltly commemorate the
deed, and the press throughout the land
should let his name be known.

The boy said, al cant tell"
The Indian asked why.

The boy said, 'I am tired. The mist rises In
my head, and puzzles me- lean see no more To-
day." 49,,
With that the Cstechism ended. The CHIEF
Indian said something in his own language 70
the other two, pointing to the boy. and pointing
toward the town. In which (as we afterward dis
covered) they were lodged. He then AFTER max
ing more signs on the boys head. blew on his
forehead. and 30 woke him up with o start. Al
ter that they all went on their way toward the
town, and the girls saw them no more.
Most things, they say. have q moral, II you
only look for II. What was the moral OF this!
The moral was, as I thought First, that the
chief juggler had heard Mr.. Franklin's arrival
talked of among the servants out-of-doors, and
saw his way TO making . little money by 1t.
Second, that he and his men and boy with
view to making the said money y)meant to hang
about till they saw my lady drive home, and then
to come back, and foretell Mr.. Franklin's arriv.
al by magic. Third, that Penelope had heard
them rehearsing their hocus-pocus, like actors
rehearsing q play. Fourth, that should do
well TO have On eye, that evening. on the plate
basket Fifth, that Penelope would do well to
cool down. and leave me. her father, to doze OH

II you know anything Of the ways Of young wo-
men, you won't be surprised to hear that Pencil
opc wouldn't take II. The moral Of the thing
was serious, according to my daughter, She
particularly reminded me Of the Indians third
question. Has the English gentleman got 1t
about him, ooh, fatber!' says Penelope,
clasping her hanbs. 'don't joke about this
What docs'It' meanl''
"we'll ask Mr.. Franklin, my dear" l said, "if
YOU can wait till Mr.. Franklin comes" Twink
cd to show meant that in joke. penelope took
II quite seriously. My girls earnestness tickled
me. "what on earth should Mr.. Franklin know
about itl" inquired. "Ask him." says PEN
elopc. "And see whether he thinks II q laugh
ing matter, too" With that parting shot my
daughter LEFT me.
| settled it with myself, when she was gone,
that really would ask Mr.. Frankln-mainly to
set Pcnelope's mind at rest. What was said be-
tween us, when did ask him, later on that same
day, you will find set out fully In its proper place.
But as don't wish to raise your expectations
and then dissappont them, will take leave to
warn you heretofore we go any further-that
you won't find the ghost Of Joke In our conver-
s,tion on the subject Of the jugglers. To my
great surprise, Mr.. Franklin, like Penelope, took
the Il, ng seriously. How seriously, you will un-
lcrst,nd, when tell you that, in his opinion,
