SHRfNRING DEiICACY. In a certain
pleasant town in the county Of Surrey,
England, there is-or there was years
ago-a cricket ground nearly surrounded
by houses. One fine morning just after
the great Dingy Dell match had been
played, the secretary of the club received
letter from a lady of ga certain age,"
the proprietor of one of those adjacent
houses, declaring that her delicacy had
repeatedly been affronted by the sight of
gentlemen in ''every stage of nudity"
putting on their cricket fannels in the
dressing tent just before her Windows
Would the secretary, therefore, she en-
treated, make arrangements for ridding her
of this disgusting spectacle
The secretary of that club was the pink
of politeness. He wrote deprecating and
apologize note to Miss Fiefye, and at the
next match the dressing-tent was placed
at the opposite corner of the cricket
ground, at least three hundred yards from
the lady's windows. Imagine the secre-
tary's astonishment at receiving next
morning a second letter, thanking him for
his obviously kind Intentions" but re-
GREETING that they were Of 40 avail, as she
s'couId see the gentlemen's legs, with
telescope, Just as plainly as before"

WHEREFORE says al exchange, 50
many bald men and so few bald women
Why is it that the skulls of young men l.
their twenties shine Ike billiard balls
Why this spectacle Of bald headed bar
bers, rubbing the dry tops of bald headed
men, recommending inVigorators, wa
ranted to produce bushy locks in less than
fortnight, while bald healed spectators
and middle aged men with wigs, look on
with derlsive smiles though all the
while their wives and daughters throng
our streets with crowns OF beauty and
charming actresses toss their blonde tress-
es in luxu-oos profusion on the stages of
our theatres. Our male population will
no doubt take a serene satisfaction in say
ing that it is because men have more to
worry them than women and have the
trouble net only TO contrive how to sup
port themselves bet also how 10 support
their wives and daughters. Probably,
however, that is not the reason. Women
Of course have 6r.er and longer hair than
men, bnt men destroy their hair by max
ing ovens of their heads under their hats,
and thus heat their craniumS until the hair
dies out Tor want of air Men should take
off their hats oftener or yentiIate them

called at saddler's shop for the purchase

she at length gave an order to the gentle
manly proprietor for large Saddle, which
was to be ready on certain day. After
giving the order the lady remained in the
shop a few minutes, II q kind of undeci-
ded state of mind. as if there was some
thing else she wished and had forgotten
The proprietor at length inquired if there
was anything else she wanted. ooh,

The proprietor, with broad grin, infor NJ
ed her that no measure was necessary in
the case, and the lady departed.

A ROMANCE OF THE JAZZ.

A number of years ago there resided in
one ot the upper counties of Indiana, a
respectable and wealthy family by the
name of holding, consisting of a father.
TWO sons and a daughter, the youngest of
whom was Fredrick holding, a mere lad
OF about sixteen years of age, and the hero
OF thus round unvarnished tale So far as
mere observation went, the family dwelt
IN unity and harmony together until, at
least, the death of the father. Hardly,
however, had this event occurred, and long
before the grass had grown green upon
| the sod that covered his remains, the fel.
Spirl! of ~varice took possession of older
! relatives OF the lao. 80 v,boy.y q consider
able portion of his fathers weoIb had
fallen, and they at once began TO look
about them as to the surest method of
possessing themselves cf his inheritance.
loo cowardly to deprive him Of his young
life, they finally hit upon plot to deprive
hlEn of that which was dearer to him
bis honor and his liberty. A willing tool
and an active abeltor in their scheme was
found in the person of neighboring farm
er's daughter, whom the ''slings and ar
rows of outrageous fortune" had rendered
fit for any deed that would enable her TO
clo;he herself in finer apparel and win the
envioos glances of her humble compan-
ions. In due time their well-laid scheme
eliminated, and the community in which
they lived were one day startled by the
report that young Frederick Nolding had
been guilty of an atrocious crime-a crime
that none good or pure can ever hear
mentioned without shudder and that
another woman had been added TO the long
list Of fhe ruined
Many there were who openly doubted
the guilt Of the boy, but circumstantial
evidence, and the testimony of his sup
posed victim, silenced the doubters, and
friedrich Nolding, with not friend in the
world, and prosecuted by those who
should have defended and protected him,
was sentenced to the JeffersonviIle Penis
tentiary for the term of thirteen years
Here, immured in gloomy prison walls,
his boyish dreams of useful and honora-
ble manhood were all turned inio mocking
fancies, and his boyish heart weighed
down with a shame and sorrow that many
a stouser one would have quailed before.
For nine long and seemingly intermi-
nable years he ate of the coarse food,
slept in the narrow and carefully iccke ed
cell and performed the mental duties of a
convict; but at the expiration Of the ninth
year the kind hearted warden, having
detected much TO interest and admire in
him, procured, through the instrumentality
of the sheriff and citizens of his county, Il
long hoped for pardon, and on April Sd,
1867, the prison doors were thrown open
to his soul, SO much ''more sinned against
than sinning," and the three~blessed boon
of liberty again vouchsafed him.
But nine years of wrong had changed
the shrinking, weeping boy INTO the full
grown, resolute man, and it will be pecu-
iarly gratifying to every lover of justice
to learn that he has since exposed the
diaholical plot in all its hideousness, and
has been the means Of securing lust
punishment of those who SO cruelty
wronged him.

Say about Lazy Mel

The lazy man is nearly always soo6-
natured. He never flies into passion.
He might crawl into one, if thu were
possible, but the idea of his fyiug into
anything is preposterous.
Whoever heard of lazy man traa's-
ing into p bank. where crowbar had o.
be used, or drilling into safe E1bo6v-
Though he might covet his nei- ei-aoor's
goods therein contained, his hor- q
handling crowbars and drills would si,g.ys
deter him from actually committinz bur-
glary. He never runs away with bus
neighbor's wife, simply on account q ths
horror he has of running. If he .s'eFec
known to run II stunning to seed
He rarely lies about his neighbo-=, for
1t would be too much exerlion, b. ls
can lay about bar room all day.

ture. What en- industrious man, who
considers his time worth someihing,
would want pay for lazy man general
ly does for nothing, showing a freedom
from mercenary motives that should 90
far to his credit.
The lazy nan never gets up reyoiu-
tions, Instructions, or other popula: ex-
elements, and don't make nuisance Of
himself by tramping around the country
making incendiary speeches to promote
public discomfort.
In his own neighborhood he is never 8
busy body in other peoples affairs, ioT
the very idea of being Juy>body at any
thing would drive him ont Of his head -
by the way, if be ever got oat of his
head you would have 10 drive him oaF,
for he wouldn't have the energy to go out
of his own accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad If he
went crazy It was because he couldn't 90
anywhere else without walking.
Lazy men don't d ugb the quiet peace
ful neighbors by putting up factories, far
naces, and such abominations
Finally, lazy men don't get up base bali-
clubs, which, if nothing else could be said
in their favor, ought, in these days of eXs
cessive base-bawling, entitle them to pGb~

Saved by a Compass and a Fireny

III hIr. F"rton's very interesting account
OF the Invention Of the ComDass." in
Our Young FOt.ls fof February, is the fol-
lowing curious story told him by Laho
ChamplaIn boafman:
she said he had been prisoner for
eleven months in Andersonvi!le during
the late war, and when he heard that
General Sherman was at Atlanta, about
two hundred and forty miles distant, he
and his comrade determined to try and es-
cape, and make their way thither. One
of them had an old fashioned watch with
a compass i'll the back of it and by this
they expected to direct their course, which
was nearly northwest. But, as they ex>
pected 10 travel only by night, they re-
solved not to start uutil they could get a
box Of matches, so as to be able to strike
a light now and then, to look at their
compass. They delayed their departure
for six weeks to get box of matches, for
the purch ase of which they gave one of
their negro friends their last five dollar
bill. He could not buy a box of matches
for fire dollars, nor any other number Of
dollars, and 50 at last they made up their
minds to start without them.
"Assisted by their black friend, they
got away one afternoon, and lay hidden
until late in the evening, when they START
ed at great pace through the woods, and
came about midnight TO a road which
seemed TO go, as nearly as they could
gGess, exactly northwest. Seemed, | say;
but it might not. and, if it did not, it
would lead them 10 capture and death. -
The night was not very dark, bnt the
stars were hidden by Clouds else the
friendly North Star would have guided
them upon their way. Anxious as they
were TO get on; they stood for several
miuu'e es comparing recollections, and de-
batting the great question upon which their
lives depended. But, the more they talks
ed it over, the more uncertain they be-
came and now they regretted their i'm
patience in coming away without match
es.
"There were great number of fireflies
flying about. A lucky thought occurred
to one of them, The boatman who told
us the story. He caught firehy, and,
taking it between his thumb and finger,
held it over his compass. Imagine their
joy to find that the insect gave them plen-
ty of light for their purpose ; aud imagine
their still greater JOY to discover that the
road led straight to the Union army
Eight nights of travel brought them safe
Iy to it."
Admirable invention! / often wonder
that thing so valuable can be so small,
simple, and cheap. 1t is nothing but n
needle, pivot, and card, which you
can buy for half dollar, and carry in
your pocket. or danGle at the end Of
watch chain. Yet, small and trifing as
it IS, ships company that should find
themselves in the middle of the ocean
without compass would consider it a
great favor to be allowed to buy one for
many thousand dollars.
